Chapter Ninety-Eight: Shelling
Outside Qingzhou City, Guojia Village.
The village is unusually quiet, and the doors of every house are closed, revealing a dead silence, like a dead village.
"Lord Yu."
"Why do you look so uneasy today?"
A man dressed in black, like a ghost in the night, suddenly appeared beside Yu Mubai, and asked him in a gloomy voice that couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.
“......”
"I say, Your Excellency."
"Can you not be like a ghost in the future, suddenly appearing in front of my eyes. The way you're doing this is a little scary. ”
"Don't you know?"
Yu Mubai said to him with a little dissatisfaction on his face, and complained slightly.
“......”
"Lord Yu, I'm really sorry."
"I'm used to it, and it's hard to make a change."
The man in black was wearing a black scarf on his face, and the expression on his face at this time could not be seen.
Before coming to Daqi, Yu Mubai went to the palace. This black-clothed man was specially arranged for him by Emperor Wen of Chu to protect him closely. I don't know who he is, I haven't seen his true appearance, and I don't know what his name is. Even, I don't know if he is a man or a woman, which seems extremely mysterious.
It's always elusive and incomprehensible.
"For the last two days, my right eye has been jumping."
"I feel very uneasy, if we continue to stay here, I am afraid that we will be wiped out."
"Say, do we need to withdraw?"
Yu Mubai frowned and asked him.
"I don't know."
"My only mission is to keep you safe."
"As for the rest? Or don't ask me. ”
The man in black shook his head, but didn't give advice.
"It's like playing the piano to a cow."
Yu Mubai paced, thinking to himself in his heart.
The purpose of their visit to Qingzhou has been preliminarily completed. So far, it seems, everything is going well. The final result is up to Providence.
There's no way they're going to stay here and wait for things to ferment later. If the East Window incident happens at this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave again.
It's just that? Withdraw first, or together.
In his heart, he couldn't make up his mind.
"Someone."
Yu Mubai shouted loudly and shouted outside the door.
"My lord, what do you command?"
A Luan guard guarding the door hurriedly walked in after hearing his shout, bowed down and asked him.
"Commander Zhao, are you back?"
"I'm back."
It was not the Luan guard who came in who answered him, but the man in black beside him.
In this regard, Yu Mubai is not surprised.
"Go and pass on Commander Zhao's envoy and tell him to come to see me quickly."
Yu Mubai nodded lightly and commanded him.
"Yes."
Luan Yiwei bowed, turned and retreated.
"As for evacuating in such a hurry?"
The man in black was puzzled and asked him.
"As for."
Yu Mubai nodded lightly and replied to him.
He didn't explain much to him.
*
Only half of the incense has passed.
Luan Yiwei commanded Zhao Ming and hurried over.
"Lord Yu."
"What is the matter with the haste to summon me?"
On Zhao Ming's forehead, there were a few beads of sweat. After he came in, he did not hurry to sit down and rest, but asked him eagerly.
"Commander Zhao, we need to evacuate immediately."
Yu Mubai's face was solemn, and he said to him.
"Evacuate immediately?"
"Lord Yu, what happened?"
Zhao Ming was very strange and asked him.
"Nothing happened."
"It's just because I feel a little uneasy in my heart."
"There's always a sense of inexplicable danger, and if we insist on staying here, you and I will soon be turtles in the urn."
Yu Mubai's face was a little worried, and he said to him.
"Just by your feelings?"
Zhao Ming was very puzzled and felt a little inexplicable. But he didn't say anything to contradict him, and nodded his head in agreement. Because the real leader of this trip is Yu Mubai, not him.
"Okay."
"Then I'll let you know right away."
"Strive for an evacuation tomorrow."
As soon as Zhao Ming finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave.
"Zhao commands the envoy, and slowly."
"We can't wait for tomorrow, we have to evacuate immediately."
Yu Mubai stopped him and said to him.
"What did you say?"
Zhao Ming's eyes widened, a little incredulous.
"I said, we have to evacuate right away."
"Not even for a moment, you can't delay."
Yu Mubai's eyes were firmly fixed on him, and there was no doubt in his words, and he repeated it to him again.
"It's fine."
"Then I will immediately send someone to Qingzhou City and inform the brothers who stay in the city to go out of the city to make peace with us."
Zhao Ming nodded lightly and wanted to leave again.
Whatever he says, then do it.
He can only carry out all his decisions.
"They ...... at the moment"
"I'm afraid I can't get out of Qingzhou City anymore."
Yu Mubai said to him word by word.
"What do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean they can't get out of Qingzhou City?"
Zhao Ming was a little anxious, and shouted directly at him.
"There are too many doubtful loopholes."
"Even if you can confuse the eyes for a while, you can't cover up the truth at all."
"The various yamen of Daqi are not all fools."
"How can you keep us holding us by the nose?"
"Soon, we'll find out."
"At that time, when Daqi blocks all the border cities out of the country, where can we flee to? While there is still a little time, we need to get out of the territory of Daqi as soon as possible. ”
Little by little, Yu Mubai told him the urgency of the situation at this time.
"But they are my brothers."
"Since I brought them to Daqi, I must bring them back to Nanchu one by one."
"Is it just your intuition? Do you want me Zhao Ming to abandon a group of brothers in the city and flee for my life alone? ”
Zhao Ming's eyes were a little anxious, and he yelled at him with a pair of eyes wide.
In Qingzhou City, there are more than a dozen Luan Yiwei, each of whom is the elite of the elite. These people, who spent several years with him under his command, were loyal to him. Tell him to give up on them easily at this moment, he can't do it at all.
"Zhao Ming, the Holy Secret Decree is all under my orders."
"How dare you disobey military orders?"
Yu Mubai squinted his eyes slightly and let out a loud shout.
In the eyes of the white-faced scholar, a cold light appeared.
"Zhao Ming, don't dare."
Although he was very unwilling, he had nothing to do. His fists clenched, then relaxed. In the eye sockets, there is a piece of crystal. He knew in his heart that if he went first. So what will happen to the brothers stranded in the city?
"Pack up and go."
"When we return to Nanchu, I will personally invite the Holy Lord, treat their relatives in the family, and will not let them sacrifice for this in vain."
Yu Mubai waved his hand lightly and drove him out.
It didn't matter what mood he was in.
*
Looking back.
At this time, Guojia Village has become a sea of fire.
A dozen disguised men, straddling the horses, looked in a hurry. Yu Mubai's face was indifferent, and the man in black was a little casual. Among them, only Zhao Ming showed a sad face.
"Since you want to leave Daqi as soon as possible, why don't you go south to Pengcheng? Instead, all the way west? Pengcheng is the closest border city to Southern Chu, and it is only more than 800 miles away. ”
The man in black couldn't understand what was going on in his heart, so he asked him.
"No matter how fast it is, can it be faster than the flying pigeon?"
"Pengcheng is about to become a cage."
Yu Mubai glanced at it and said to him.
"Let's go to the Western Jin Dynasty."
in his heart.
There is clearly an ulterior motive.
