Chapter 732: I'll Carry You Away
This kind of comfort sounds very weak.
But Zhuang Siyan didn't want to refute anymore, she persuaded herself again to be happy, maybe it was really like Ling?
Not long after dinner, the sound of Sun Xi coming back came from outside.
Ling Tiancheng and Zhuang Siyan got up almost at the same time and walked towards the door.
Fortunately, Sun Xi brought good news, Ouyang Huai accepted the jade plate he brought, and agreed to his words.
Sun Xi said: "I can't see anything wrong with Lord Ouyang on the surface, as soon as he saw the jade plate, he knelt down directly, and asked me where is the third princess?" ”
"He asked you where the third princess is?" Ling Tiancheng asked again in a low voice.
Sun Xi bowed down: "Yes, if he is not pretending, then this adult's acting skills are too good, and he can't see that he is cheating at all." ”
Ling Yan's slightly drooping eyelids covered his eyes, and he couldn't see what he was thinking for a while.
Zhuang Siyan was depressed that Princess Duo Suning had an abnormality, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask Sun Xi: "Are you ready for this news?" No wonder we have been in Tian Hai's house for so long, and she hasn't come out to meet, could it be that there is no third princess here at all, but someone is using her name to commit rebellion? ”
Sun Xi didn't speak.
Ling words.
It was herself, and after she finished speaking, she felt that this was not very reliable.
In the northwest area, since she wore to the Dasheng Dynasty, she has come twice, and there is also the chaos of the Kashgar people in the middle, followed by Shi Fangbin and Jia Mingyuan for disaster relief.
It can be said that the imperial court has never given up on this place, and has always been very concerned.
And this place is very close to Pingyang Pass, even if there is no such mess, there will be no shortage of soldiers or something.
There is also that Gao Zhong, this person Zhuang Siyan has seen it, and his style of acting is not a pompous person, and it is not that anyone can incite him with two words.
If there is no so-called three princesses here, then who can make Gao Zhong bow down.
Moreover, Ouyang Huai, the county commander of Song'an County, is not a simple character, including Fengning's Huang is an old treacherous and cunning master, otherwise Jia Mingyuan and they would not have gone there for so long, but they found nothing.
These people are so shrewd, but they are willing to listen to the words of one person, and for her words, even the emperor and queen dare to murder, and they don't even care about the imperial power of the Dasheng Dynasty.
Such a thing would not have been believed without the instructions of a reliable person.
Zhuang Siyan slowly retreated, sat down on a chair in the corner, and began to carefully review the whole incident.
There are too many people talking and doing things in it, and it is difficult to see at a glance who is true and who is false, but there are too many, and the problems of the times are exposed one by one.
Anyway, whoever they are doing here, they should want to get something out of it.
It's either bright or dark, so as long as you find the interest point in this area, you should know what they are going to do, right?
Song'an County and Fengning County have some illegal businesses, these businesses come quickly, but according to the way of Tian Hai, the money will be spent faster, so the foreign merchants who come here to do business may be able to earn some silver, but they themselves do not seem to get anything from it.
In addition to the silver money, in the end, there is only the enclosure as the king, and there is an idea to separate the northwest.
Thinking about it this way, it is still the third princess who is the most suspicious.
Zhuang Siyan raised his head, looked at Sun Xi and said, "Ouyang Huai's acting skills are really good, he is a good actor." ”
Sun Xi's brows furrowed slightly.
Ling Tiancheng glanced over to her.
Zhuang Siyan said: "He not only knows where the third princess is, but also knows everything in Song'an County." He should also know very well about this jade plaque, he only said that after you went, it is likely that he also wanted to use our previous plan, and he planned it. He wants to take advantage of our relaxation to take this place in one fell swoop, including the emperor and me, and return you...... This guy who secretly helps us. ”
Sun Xi immediately answered: "If he wants to take me down, he can do it right now, so why do that?" ”
Zhuang Siyan shook his head: "It's not time yet, take you down now, isn't the news going to spread outside again, then the matter between me and the emperor may also be spread, if Gu Cheng'an doesn't enter the city at that time, won't his plan be shattered?" He's in the next big game, and now he's just dropped, he won't end the game so quickly, and watch him move slowly. ”
Ling Tiancheng nodded slightly.
At the same time, there was a haze in his heart again, all the circumstances were not good for them, what should he do now?
They are frowning here, but the fight outside Song'an City is in full swing.
Gu Chengan came this time, although he didn't bring many people, but those people were all elites, and he was good at tactics and knew how to use soldiers, so he was really wronged when he was held back in the Praetorian Guard before.
Now put it on this vast land, and get a team of people to put it in his hands, and the use is still tiger-like.
Many people came to support from Song'an County, but because it was later, Gu Chengan took the lead, and after a fight, they were defeated and fled.
Some adjutant generals believed that they would take advantage of the chaos to pursue and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.
But Gu Chengan didn't look over there at all.
He knew very well what he was going to do when he came to Song'an County this time, not really to fight one or two rebels, but to save the emperor and queen out.
Therefore, no matter whether it is the temptation of others, or whether it is really defeated, it can't shake his mind.
After those people retired, the target shifted to Song'an County.
Since they hurried over from Pingyang Pass, the city gate of Song'an County has not been opened, and the people inside have not come out, and the people outside have not been allowed to enter.
This defense is obvious, and it is not so easy for them to attack the city.
Gu Cheng'an was anxious, wanting to know how Ling Tiancheng and the others were doing now, but he couldn't see it on his face.
He is still a deep-minded person, he usually speaks, but he does things very steadily, and the people who follow him, even the most recent ones, are a little afraid of him.
Now seeing that he did not chase the enemy army, but kept staring at the city gate of Song'an County, guessing that he wanted to attack the city, but he did not move for a long time, and he was also confused.
After two days of delay, the wind in the northwest land suddenly became stronger again that night.
The wind swept the yellow sand, from far to near, and it was like an ancient demon rolling inside, blowing across the ground "whirring", raising the sand to a height of more than a foot.
The tent that Gu Cheng'an set up outside the city was directly lifted by the wind, and the tarpaulin of "Hulala" was rolled by the wind, and I don't know where it was blowing.
The things in the tent were not spared, and they followed the wind and did not know where it was blowing.
But the people inside were squatting peacefully, each holding a sword in their hands, their eyes were shining, waiting for Gu Cheng'an's order.
Gu Chengan was not ambiguous, he looked sideways at the sky, waiting for the last hour to come.
In the night, the wind swept the yellow sand and obscured the last glimmer of light, and everything that could be blown away in their camp was long gone.
Gu Cheng'an gave an order, and the soldiers who had been squatting in the dark for a long time all moved to the upper hand of Song'an County.
The wind was blowing from the northwest, and they followed the wind and turned in that direction.
And then they quickly got the upper hand and found it
In an excellent position, the soldiers set up their bows and arrows, and with the help of the wind, they pushed out the usual range by more than twice the range.
It stands to reason that such a strong wind, even if the arrows are blown out by the force of the wind, will not cause harm to people, because after those arrows reach their destination, they basically have no strength.
But Gu Chengan has his own plan.
As early as when he stood still, he made all the hands and feet on the arrows.
The arrows were all strapped to small sandbags, and in addition to sand, they also contained some gunpowder.
This bit of gunpowder is not so powerful if it is used in ordinary times.
But with the help of the wind, they pushed the arrow so far, and with the weight of the sandbag, when it fell, the strength was greatly increased.
Therefore, as soon as the feather arrows entered Song'an County with the wind, they immediately made a loud "" sound, and a spark exploded in a corner of the city corner.
With such a strong wind, the common people didn't even dare to turn on the lights, but there was a fire in the corner of the city.
As soon as the fire blew with the wind, the "whew" rose high, and when you saw what was burning, everything close to the source of the fire burned in an instant, and you couldn't stop it.
There were a lot of people in Ouyang Huai in the city, but for a while, no one went to deal with Gu Cheng'an outside, but began to put out fires in the city.
If they really burned down the whole city, none of them would want to live, at least not even the things in the city.
It was he who made a mistake.
He didn't expect Gu Chengan to have such courage.
He was a general of the imperial court, and the first rule they followed was human life, and besides, there were emperors and empresses in Song'an County, wasn't he afraid to burn them to death?
Ouyang Huai asked himself in his heart, even if this kind of thing was put on him, he might not be able to make such a big decision, unless there was an order from above.
But he clearly understood that although Ling Tiancheng had escaped from Tian Hai's house, he was still under their control, and it was impossible for him to pass the message out.
This Gu Chengan is simply fatal.
The whole city of Song'an County was fighting fires, and some people took advantage of the fire to rob them.
As soon as Ling Tiancheng and the others heard that there was chaos outside, they knew that it was Gu Chengan who had started to attack the city.
When they came out of the house, they saw a large area of fire in the northwest, and the wind and sand swept the fire, and after a while it burned outward.
The whole city, including the people around them, ran to that place, rushing to put out the fire.
Ling Tiancheng took Zhuang Siyan by the hand, only walked a few steps, and squatted down in front of her as soon as his body was short.
Zhuang Siyan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
As a result, after waiting for a while, he turned around: "Come up, I'll carry you away." ”
Zhuang Siyan: "......"
What's going on, why do you suddenly have to carry him?
But before she could ask again, Ling Tiancheng couldn't wait: "Your back is injured, it's really not fast, and you can't go too far, hurry up, let's rush to the East City Gate, there is a gap there now." ”
There was a fire in the northwest, and everyone rushed there, and the east should be looser.
Ling Tiancheng wanted to rush over to open the city gate, which was also reasonable, and he didn't want to hold him back, so Zhuang Siyan really climbed onto his back.
Her own thoughts were rippling, and she looked sideways at Ling Tiancheng's slightly cold face.
But Ling Tiancheng looked ahead, the wind was under his feet, and he walked fast.
They had been in the city for a few days, and they were familiar with the terrain here, and there were many things, and now they ran out like this, completely avoiding Ouyang Huai's people, and they didn't encounter any interceptions along the way.
It was only when the two of them arrived at the gate of the East City that they saw a large number of people lined up there, as if they had been waiting for them to arrive.
