Chapter 121: Burning Grain and Grass
"Have you heard the news of the enemy attack tonight?" Lan Yao shook the teacup in her hand, wisps of green smoke came out, and she said the news she had inquired about while giving Cangyan a dish.
"That's just right. The news that I'm 'dead' is a catalyst for them. Cang Yan did not refuse the vegetables that Lan Yao had sandwiched, and now he didn't need to be taboo, so he naturally let go of his stomach and ate it.
The two kept silent about the fact that Cang Yan was about to die.
Don't leave or something, let's talk about it later.
The mountains are black, the wilderness is gloomy, the night is like a monster with the big mouth of a black hole, the dense forest is layered, the light and shadow pass by, and the crows chirp.
Under the black oppressive mountains, more than a dozen tents were spread out in an orderly manner, stationed here, a few torches burned wildly in the moonlight, and the tongues of fire licked the wooden blocks desperately, and a large amount of firelight illuminated the place.
Soldiers in twos and threes formed a patrol team, not letting go of every corner, and their steps were neat and their faces were pale*.
However, from the light and shadow in the tent, it could be guessed that apart from these patrolling troops, there were not many people left here.
Two black figures hid in the branches, and they exchanged glances, and then they leaped down from the tree, and the figures danced towards the back of the camp.
There, it is the base camp of grain and grass.
"Cangyan, are you sure they can hold it?" One of the black figures spoke, her voice like a kingfisher chirping in the sky, and it was so beautiful that people were intoxicated.
"Well, I've ordered them to set a trap." The man who was called Cangyan had his eyes slightly raised, his sword eyebrows slightly raised, and his handsome face was all about winning the game.
"If you hadn't 'died', I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to go out so easily, and the rebels sent people to monitor your every move all the time. You 'died', but it became an excuse for you to get out, so that you could come out with me to burn their grain and grass. Lan Yao said, not stopping at his feet, and walked around one sentry after another, hiding behind a tent.
"We cut off their food and took him by surprise." Cang Yan's eyes flashed.
Yes, if Cangyan hadn't died, then the rebels' sneak attack tonight would have been small-scale, but now that Cangyan is "dead", then the rebels must have the determination to win, so they will definitely choose to go out.
In this way, they had the opportunity to take the bottom and burn their grain.
"Leng Hui." Lan Yao just wanted to summon Leng Hui, but was stopped by Cang Yan.
"I know you're capable of anything, but I want you to see what I'm capable of." After Cang Yan finished speaking, a few dodges and disappeared in front of Lan Yao.
Lan Yao had to wait obediently in place, compared to these ordinary mortals, she was the best among the immortal cultivators, and now she was half an immortal, since Cangyan didn't want her to interfere, she didn't care anymore.
After all, the more she manages now, then in the future, when she ascends, in addition to the heavenly thunder, she will also be accompanied by heavenly punishment, and it will be difficult to think of not dying at that time.
She retracted her thoughts of using foreign objects.
"It's water, it's water!" In a few moments, there was a commotion in the camp of the rebels, and the storehouse, which was supposed to be filled with grain and grass, burst into flames, and the flames enveloped the whole storehouse with the power of burning everything, allowing no one to challenge its authority.
The rebels were also miserable, they thought that the battle of Jizhou must be a tough battle, so they stored all the grain and grass looted from several other cities into a granary, which was easy to burn, further fueling the fire.
There were not enough troops in the camp, and the nearest river was at least a quarter of an hour's walk away.
The rebel camp was in turmoil at the moment, and Cang Yan fled in a commotion, and he watched Lan Yao obediently waiting in place, and a warm current flowed into his heart.
"Let's go, let's celebrate." Cang Yan stretched out his big hand, took Lan Yao's small hand as warm as jade, and took her away happily.
Behind them, there was a rebel army of ants who were busy like ants on a hot pot, and the light of the fire swallowed the black and oppressive sky, breaking the last silence.
"Outside the city of Jizhou, there is a sea of flowers. It is said that the city lord of Jizhou City, in order to commemorate his deceased wife, planted it by himself, and now it is the season of flowers, I will take you to see. Cang Yan was rare and gentle, and his cautious appearance was fully seen by Lan Yao.
His hands are very rough, probably because he has been leading troops to fight for a long time, and his hands have been cocooned, but he has an indescribable sense of security.
He was wearing an ink-colored robe embroidered with dragon pattern clothes, and the shallow light gave him a layer of light, lining him like a god descending from heaven. His body was like a thousand mountains and twilight snow, and the faint breeze was fluttering.
"Here we are." He stopped and looked back at the woman in front of him who was making his heart palpitate.
Her red hair was like a large patch of roses, which made her face even more seductive, and a smile entered her eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised a beautiful arc.
In her eyes, he was finally there.
In front of the two of them, there is a whole sea of flowers, pear blossoms like snow, goose yellow, light pink, elegant purple flowers, with a little green, dotted with flower colors, several colorful butterflies dance. The twilight of the moon pours down, creating a hazy romantic feeling. The fragrance of flowers lingers around the two, as elegant as ever.
"It's really beautiful." The flowers gradually became charming, Lan Yao was fascinated, and she walked towards the center of the sea of flowers.
She had never seen so many flowers, each of them was planted by the city lord himself, and it seemed that the person was also very affectionate. She stopped in front of a flower, which was so delicate that there were even seven-star ladybugs climbing on it!
She tiptoed to catch the ladybug and put it in her palm, and the little ladybug lingered in her palm for a while, then spread its wings and fluttered back into the flowers.
"Here you go." Cang Yan didn't have a while, he had already made a beautiful wreath, the red flowers were a little snow-white embellishment, and Lan Yao's hair color really matched very well.
"Thank you." Lan Yao took the garland and put it on her head.
Cang Yan casually lay down in the sea of flowers and patted the position next to him.
Lan Yao realized and lay down next to Cang Yan without hesitation, and they looked at the stars shining in the sky.
"You know, I haven't been so relaxed in a long time." Cang Yan said, his eyes were full of loneliness, "I have been running around for the Liang Kingdom all my life, and each of my concubines was personally selected by my father." Now I'm only afraid of my harem, which is more than his concubines. ”
“······”
Lan Yao never knew what kind of life Cang Yan lived, and most of the communication between them was through letters, and the content of the letters was as simple as his daily speech, and the words were like gold.
"Is there a woman you like?" Lan Yao didn't know how to respond, so he had to take such a sentence stiffly.
Cang Yan turned his head suddenly, his gaze lightly glanced at Lan Yao, with a cold breath, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, meaningful.
He didn't even bother to say a word.
But the answer is self-evident.
At this moment, a breeze blew, and the hair of the two men intertwined in the air.
"I'm the only one with you." The sound of the wind broke through his words, but Lan Yao still heard them clearly.
He was the only one with her, and he had been waiting for her.
"Cangyan."
She called softly.
"Huh?" Hearing this, Cang Yan's eyes opened slightly, and there was a bright light on his pure face.
She stood up suddenly, her face moving closer and closer to him, her pupils slightly condensed. She saw him staring deeply at her with a pair of eyes that were as tender as water and surprised.
His big hand suddenly went around the top of her head, pressed hard, and lowered her lips, and the small kisses were densely turned, as if he was treating the most precious treasure in the world, kissing her reverently.
"Young, you know." He stepped back a little, a suspicious silver thread hanging from the corner of his mouth, exuding a deadly temptation, "It seems to have fulfilled a dream of mine for a long, long time, as if I had waited for this moment for thousands of years." ”
After finishing speaking, he posted it again.
The general of the rebel army is Zhao Zhicheng, he was originally high-spirited and wanted to take Jizhou in one fell swoop, but this Jizhou is obviously dead, why can it still hold on for so long? He has been conquering this gate for two hours, and it is still impregnable!
He thought that at this moment, Jizhou must be lax, when he first arrived at the city gate, he was overjoyed, because there were only a few sporadic soldiers guarding the city on the entire city wall, but when he ordered people to climb the ladder, a large number of soldiers appeared out of nowhere, and smashed countless boulders, and they were caught off guard.
Where is this unprotected city!
This is an empty city plan!
is just waiting for them to be caught obediently.
Suddenly, a small soldier ran from behind the army, he was sweating profusely, he looked very embarrassed, he couldn't wait to rest, and shouted: "General, it's not good! The granary is out of water! ”
"What did you say?!" Zhao Zhicheng felt that his eyes were dark, and he couldn't believe his ears.
"All our grain and grass have been burned!" The little soldier said boldly.
Zhao Zhicheng was furious, and with a force on his feet, he kicked directly at the soldier.
Where could the little soldier bear such a kick, a large amount of blood poured out of his mouth, and he was kicked and fainted.
"Withdraw!" Zhao Zhicheng was so angry that he waved his arms and galloped towards the camp.
Well, he kind of understood, he was being played like a monkey!
Judging from the current form, that Cangyan must not be dead, it was simply to act in a scene to lure him into the bait! He has sent countless spies these days, and he has come back to restore the unification of his life, that is, everything is business as usual in the General's Mansion.
He thought that this was the group of fools who deliberately suppressed Cangyan's death, so he took it upon himself to have the rest of the plan.
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the magic is one foot high, and now he has even lost the base camp!
He brought 300,000 soldiers, if there is no food and grass, the army will definitely be disheartened, this Cangyan really has two brushes!
