Chapter 997: Fire (4K)

"Is there any movement in Chen Shan?" The girl asked.

Zhiya Master sighed deeply, put down the Art of War in his hand, looked at her and said, "Great Heavenly Master, you have asked me several times. "Such an anxious look, is it because Chen Shan is in a hurry not to find her to settle the account?

The Great Celestial Master is really a weirdo.

"Is there any movement at all? What about your people? The girl urged, "It's time to come back!" ”

"It's only been one day!" Master Zhi said, "It's past noon when my people get there, Chen Shan will stay with him for one night, and if he comes back the next morning, he won't be there at this time." ”

"Will they keep your envoy for the night?" The girl pursed her lips, looking incredulous, "If you send it to someone and leave, it should be here this morning, and now the sun is about to set." She glanced at the orange sky outside.

"Aren't you Han people a country of etiquette? My envoys are also hard to travel. The wisdom tooth master waved his hand disappreciatively and said, "Don't worry! ”

Looks like I'm not in a hurry!

Wei Yaoqing glanced at the "Art of War" in his hand, and saw a sentence on it: "Therefore, it is as fast as the wind, its xu is like a forest, the invasion is like fire, and it is as immobile as a mountain." After thinking about it, she looked at him again and said, "Shan Yu, I don't think you may have understood this book. ”

"I don't know if I know, the Great Heavenly Master doesn't have to bother." The smile on the wisdom tooth master's face faded a lot, and he waved his hand to drive people away, "It's okay, so don't bother me." ”

It's really a good medicine, and the advice is against the ear! Seeing that he listened to her mocking words on weekdays, listened to her scolding words happily, and it was rare to tell a big truth, but he was actually driven out. Wei Yaoqing left a little disappointed.

When I returned to my residence, I saw Pei Zongzhi standing on the steps with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky with a deep expression.

"What are you looking at?" Wei Yaoqing asked casually.

Pei Zongzhi said: "It's almost autumn, I want to eat oranges." ”

Wei Yaoqing: "......" After rolling her eyes, she looked at Pei Zongzhi with a solemn expression, "The envoy of the Zhi Ya Master has not come back until now, I suspect that he is dead." ”

Pei Zongzhi's gaze fell from the orange sky to her, and asked, "Did you tell him?" ”

Wei Yaoqing thought for a while and said, "I hinted at it obviously, but he drove me away." After a pause, he seemed to feel a little regretful, "He felt that Chen Shan would invite his envoy to eat and rest for one night before leaving or something, and it was normal not to come back at this time." ”

Pei Zongzhi was silent for a moment, opened his mouth to speak, and finally didn't say anything, probably didn't know what to say.

Wei Yaoqing sighed for a while, and then asked him, "By the way, where is General Wang?" What was he going to do with those prisoners of war? ”

Pei Zongzhi shook his head: "General Wang has no news. ”

Wei Yaoqing snorted unhappily: "This is too ignorant, I didn't even thank him for the meritorious work I made him, hum!" ”

Pei Zongzhi rubbed his nose, opened his mouth and yawned, put his hand on her shoulder, and said, "I'm tired of eating mutton, let's leave if Chen Shan doesn't come again in two days!" ”

"Okay." The girl nodded, but said, "However, I have a hunch that Chen Shan is coming soon." ”

Her hunch had always been very accurate, and this time it was even faster and more amazing, and it was verified in the middle of the night.

"What does it smell like?" The girl lying on the bed suddenly opened her eyes and got up from the bed.

Pei Zongzhi on the soft collapse over there also woke up, pinched his nose, and shouted "It stinks", then looked at the girl who was pinching her nose with an impatient face, let go of the hand pinching her nose and sniffed, her eyes closed for a moment, and when she opened her eyes again, her face had changed: "Fire oil!" ”

"Oh my God!" What else can you manage at this time? The girl jumped out of bed and ran out, scolding as she ran, "Zhifang Master, this fool, he says he doesn't understand the art of war and still says he understands, he knows what a fart!" Chen Shan's people are here! "Maybe it's already in the daytime, and it's already deployed by this time.

Pei Zongzhi also rushed out.

At this time, there was no panic in the Yanei of Luocheng County, and the Hun soldiers who were patrolling saw the two of them running out of the house, and stopped, and said in broken Chinese, "Hello Great Heavenly Master!" "This is what the wisdom tooth master taught.

"Quick, quick! Hurry up and call your family out, something is wrong! After the girl said this, she ran out with Pei Zongzhi and rushed out of the gate of the county office.

The streets were empty.

Since the Huns chased and killed the Southwest Army on the streets a few days ago, the people seemed to be frightened, and every household was closed, even if they had to go out, they also ran out secretly, and went back suddenly after finishing their work.

It means that you are fighting, and we dare not mix.

This is true during the day, let alone at night, except for the Hun soldiers patrolling the streets, Los Angeles is as empty as a ghost town.

However, although the ghost is a little bit, the vision is a lot better, so that the higher they go, they saw the city wall on fire everywhere at a glance, the smell of fire oil came from there, the city gate has been opened, and a team of Hun warriors who originally guarded the city gate are estimated to have also been killed, and the fire oil flowed along the city gate to the city, obviously, Chen Shan did not just want to besiege the city, but also wanted to set fire to the city.

The feather arrows hanging from the bamboo tube shot inward from the city gate, and the moment they landed, the black fire oil in the bamboo tube flowed out, and the fire spread instantly.

"The east, south, and north gates have all been blocked by fire, and there is only one gap in the west gate." Pei Zongzhi wandered through the streets and alleys of Los Angeles under his feet, "If you want to go, you can only walk from the West Gate." ”

"Outside the West Gate, it must be Chen Shan." Wei Yaoqing followed behind him, and beside him was a frightened beater.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and knock! She urged.

The watchman trembled and knocked on his hands: "God...... The weather is dry, be careful of fire...... Fire Candle! ”

Repeating this sentence at this time?

Wei Yaoqing impatiently reached out and snatched the bangzi and basket in the hands of the watchman, and the "dangdang" began to knock: "Chen Shan set fire to the city, get up quickly!" ”

The sleeping people were woken up by the sound of the gong of "Dang Dang Dang", and looked out of the window through the door to see a girl running wildly in the city with a bang.

"This ...... Isn't this the Great Heavenly Master of some Great Chu? "Someone recognized the girl, and they were so impressed by her massacre of the Huns that day that they remembered her appearance.

She's still in the city? Then the Huns didn't do anything in the past few days and it had something to do with her? The man was still in a daze, but was woken up by a slap: "There is a smell of fire oil, it's true, get up!" ”

……

Outside the city, catapults and rows of crossbowmen were in place.

"Master Hou!" Someone saluted Chen Shan, who was standing at the gate of the city and looked at the distraction in the city, and then got up and said respectfully, "The people in the city should have woken up." ”

Chen Shan bowed slightly, raised his right hand, and the pigeon in his hand fluttering and flapping its wings and struggling also appeared in front of everyone.

"That girl from Da Chu is also in the city, it really takes no effort to come here, and it saves me the trouble of finding someone." As soon as he let go, the free-spirited dove fluttered its wings and wanted to fly over the high tongue of fire towards the city.

A feathered arrow tied to a boxy piece of something strapped into the tongue of fire.

"Bang-" exploded in the air, and disappeared into the fire along with the fluttering pigeon.

"I even brought gunpowder!" Stuffed the bangzi and gong back into the hands of the watchman whose face was pale, his legs trembled and he didn't even move. Wei Yaoqing stopped, looked at the gunpowder that exploded in the air, gasped, and was about to speak.

There was a hurried sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the wisdom tooth master rushed over with someone.

Rushing to their side, the wisdom tooth master turned over and dismounted, and there was not even a smile on his face that was always smiling.

"Is this Chen Shan crazy? If you let the Great Chu Army fight and come to Los Angeles? He said with a white face, "Isn't it just a thug who died, and no matter how important you are, you can compare to the current Great Chu Army?" ”

"It's Yoshiko." Wei Yaoqing looked at the wisdom tooth master's white and slightly trembling lips, and he didn't know if it was because of the bumpy road or because he didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, his face was very ugly.

"Isn't Yoshiko just a thug!" Zhiya Master said, "My envoy should have been killed by him, it's really excessive, didn't you say that the two armies were fighting, and they wouldn't kill the envoys?" This Chen Shan is too shameless. ”

It may be shameless, but you're not qualified to talk about him, after all, you're not a good person yourself. Wei Yaoqing rubbed her nose and said, "Maybe it's not a righteous son, it's a parent or something." ”

The wisdom tooth master's face was even more ugly: "Really fake? ”

"Otherwise, why would he attach so much importance to the death of this General Zhong? Valued so much that he did not hesitate to let go of the Great Chu Army that was fighting and ran to Los Angeles? Wei Yaoqing said and looked at the city gate, at this time, the feather arrows tied with gunpowder had already crossed the city and fell into the city. Among the explosive gunpowder, I don't know who threw a firework into it, and the five colors exploded in the sky, and she sighed casually, "It's pretty good." ”

The fireworksman is right around.

"What time is it now?" The wisdom tooth master said as he reached out and snatched the fireworks from Pei Zongzhi's hand and stuffed them into her hand, "You two still have the heart to have fun at this time?" ”

It turned out to be him! Wei Yaoqing glanced at Pei Zongzhi on the side, then looked at the wise tooth master, and urged him: "We are invincible with two fists and four hands, Shan Yu, you quickly organize people and horses to resist the enemy, otherwise this fire will burn all of us to death!" ”

The streets were full of frightened people, but it was a rare bustle these days.

At this time, the Huns no longer had the heart to deal with this group of people, and they looked at the flames that jumped high and were full of panic.

"That's why I'm looking for you!" The wise tooth master pointed to the sky, snatched the package from the arms of a Hun warrior beside him and stuffed it into her arms, and said, "Let it rain!" ”

Wei Yaoqing was dumbfounded.

You can actually think of this...... Still, it really makes sense. Wei Yaoqing glanced at him expressionlessly, stuffed the package back into his hand, and said, "Do you think that begging for rain is all about one mouth, and you will come as soon as you say it?" Not to mention whether you can ask for it, with such a big fire, ordinary rain may not be extinguished! ”

"Then ask for heavy rain!" The wisdom tooth master shoved the package into her hand again and said, "Hurry up, or everyone will die!" ”

"Do you know how long it takes to ask for rain? When the rain comes, we will all be ripe! The girl snorted coldly.

The wisdom tooth master croaked a few words, glared at her fiercely, and rode away.

The Huns are gone...... probably relied on the strength of the crowd to find a way to break through.

The people of the city were left helpless.

After a long silence, someone cried out, "What should I do?" What are we going to do? ”

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and some people tried to fetch water to put out the fire, but the little water didn't help at all.

Pei Zongzhi took a wet handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, Wei Yaoqing looked at the people in a daze, and said, "You go to Xicheng ......"

"No, you can't go to Xicheng!" Someone said loudly in a trembling voice, "I saw someone go to the West City Gate!" ”

The people who went to the West City Gate shouted "I am a citizen of Los Angeles, I am a Han Chinese", but before they could get out of the city gate, they were shot into a sieve by crossbow arrows.

Not to mention people, even wild dogs that fled in a hurry.

Don't even think of flying out of a fly.

A door was deliberately left behind, not to give them a glimmer of life, but to feel the thrill of shooting these living creatures, and this experience of seeing hope in despair and then encountering despair again is far more painful than pure despair.

The Southwestern Army not only wanted them to die, but also tortured them, dying in agony.

The Southwest Army, which came overnight, did not let go because they were Han Chinese, they were ordinary people, and they were innocent, and in their eyes, no matter who they were, they could not get out of Los Angeles.

The puppet was furious, and blood splattered three feet. The Son of Heaven was angry, and millions of corpses were ambushed! Compared with the despair of the people, although the girl looked solemn, she did not see the slightest look of despair, "Chen Shan regards himself as the Son of Heaven, so naturally when he is angry, he will be buried with the people of the whole city, whether he is innocent or not!" ”

"Southwest Army, I'm phew!" Some people couldn't help but be angry anymore, "The Huns they brought in from themselves gave our Los Angeles to the Huns, and now a commander is dead, and they want us to be buried when they kill the Huns!" In their eyes, we just treat us as gifts when we need us, and shoot us to vent our anger when we don't need us. ”

"In the past, the man surnamed Zhong led the Southwest Army to break the city, and Lord Su was willing to commit suicide for us, this is a parent official, what is good about this Southwest Army?"

"Chen Shan is a traitor, if he becomes the emperor, then we still have a good life?"

"The Southwest Rebels Deceive People Too ......"

……

In the anger of a desperate situation, the people's hatred for the Southwest Army grew little by little, and they began to miss their former parents.

Pei Zongzhi glanced at the girl, the girl didn't look at him, but as if she noticed his gaze, she shook her head slightly, and said: "I don't have the idea of suppressing people with power, this time the people are angry and I really didn't do anything." It was Chen Shan who let the Huns enter the customs and caused the bitter fruit they had caused, and it had nothing to do with us. However, there is still a chance to despair. The girl closed her eyes, opened them again, and shouted, "Everyone. ”

"I'll show you a way out!"

This Great Celestial Master of Great Chu said this.

The people were stunned, not knowing if the fire was too big, and their faces were a little hot.

"Yes...... But we are not the people of Dachu anymore. Someone trembled, and the people present were also at a loss for a moment, at the moment when the Southwest Army broke through the city gate, they were the people of the Southwest, and when they were sent to the Huns by the Southwest Army, they became slaves of the Huns. When she entered the city that day, she killed the Hun warriors, which was already incomprehensible to them, and now they can't understand it.

The Huns who robbed them of their rice and grain fled for their lives, and the Southwest Army wanted to kill them, but in the end, it was the Great Heavenly Master of Great Chu who wanted to give them a way out.

"We are all Han Chinese, and it is not your fault that the city gate was broken, it is our way to stop the Southwest Army." The girl's voice was soft, and the night light on the pole shone on her face, which became softer.

Is that so? Not their fault? No, maybe there is. At that time, the Southwestern Army was besieging the city, and they ...... They didn't pay attention to it, anyway, it didn't matter if the Southwest Army or the Great Chu Army win, whoever won it was the same, and it didn't matter to them, at least that's what they thought at the time. It's just that reality hatefully slapped them in the face, and the arrival of the Huns completely shattered their cognition, and they ...... Some regret it.

Maybe at that time, if they had come to defend themselves against the enemy, would the result have been different? Maybe, maybe not, they don't know. But they understand that in that case, they won't regret it like they do today.

The girl closed her eyes: there is no endless way to live, of course there is a way to live, and she has prepared a way for the people to live early in the morning.
