Chapter 198: Success
Chapter 198 Success
After giving the order, Feng Wan and his party climbed down from the mountainside and drove towards the capital.
The crowd came with such fanfare, but they did nothing, but hid in the grass for a while, and then hurried again. This time, it was Zeng Xiu, and he couldn't figure out what Feng Wan was doing.
The team came in a hurry, but when it went, it was slow, and in the eyes of the men from time to time, Feng Wan was surprisingly silent.
Zeng Xiu walked behind her and whispered, There were a few people with different shapes just now, but we stopped them in time. β
Sure enough, there was a mole, Feng Wan raised her head, and she said lightly to kill those people quietly. β
Zeng Xiu was stunned, and after a while, he reminded in a low voice, "They are all General Wei's personal guards." β
Feng Wan turned around, she looked at Zeng Xiu for a while, nodded, and said too. While they weren't looking, they all took control, stuffed strips of cloth in their mouths, and put them in my carriages. β
"Yes."
"Don't take it lightly, tell Steward Chen and the chief of the guard that tonight, if anyone has any abnormalities, they can be killed on the spot. At the same time, no one is allowed to leave the team without permission! β
"Yes."
Ten miles away from the city, Feng Wan suddenly ordered to stop. β
The riders stopped, but Feng Wan turned his head sideways and looked at the sun that was gradually sinking in the west.
Slowly, she turned her head and looked at the crowd, her gaze extremely clear.
Eyes swept over everyone one by one, Feng Wan said slowly You are divided into four teams and go to the four gates of the southeast, northwest and northwest. She paused, and said in a deep voice, as soon as you reach your destination, you will go to the mountains and forests to collect firewood, and remember that at two o'clock in the morning, I will see the whole capital, and the four gates of the south, east, west, and north, all surrounded by fire."
The warriors were stunned.
For a while, they looked at each other, and after a long while, Zeng Xiucai sighed and said wonderful, clever plan! β
The cause and effect, only he understands, and at this moment, only he understands Feng Wan's plan.
Feng Wan smiled slightly, her eyes moved away from Zeng Xiu's body, her voice was raised, and she shouted very sternly Remember, we are acting in secret, and we must not alarm others. Moreover, no matter where you go, you are in a group of twenty people, and none of you can leave the team without permission, if anyone has such intentions, the rest of the people can be killed on the spot, do you understand? β
Everyone was stunned, and they couldn't help but say yes in unison. β
"Go ahead."
"Yes."
Watching the strong men divide into four teams and leave one by one, Zeng Xiu walked behind Feng Wan. Feng Wan didn't look back, and said in a low voice I'm here. β
"I want to be with you."
Feng Wan nodded.
The sky, the last rays of the sun, completely sank into the horizon, and gradually, the sky darkened, and gradually, a black night shrouded the heavens and the earth.
The days are always long in summer, and it takes almost an hour and a half from the time the sun sets to the time when the sun completely sinks to the horizon. When the sky was completely dark, the time had come.
For an hour and a half, Feng Wan had been sitting quietly in the carriage, and the carriage was hidden in the woods, seeing the strong men cutting down branches with knives, axes, saws, etc., which she had put in the carriage, seeing them piling up under the branches with the flammable materials she had prepared, and seeing the branches gradually piling up into mountains, she never moved.
At the side of her legs, her fists were clenched tightly. Success or not, all in this move, she is really nervous.
It's been so slow and so fast.
Zeng Xiu was already very busy at this time, and seeing that it was getting dark, he commanded everyone to pile up the firewood placed in a secret place outside the city gate.
When everything was ready, the second quarter of the year also came.
Feng Wan looked at Zeng Xiu.
At this time, Zeng Xiu was holding a torch in his hand, he raised his right hand up, and he lit a fire in his mouthββ"
As soon as the shouting fell, the torch in his hand was thrown in an arc with a thud and landed accurately on the pyre.
As the pile of wood began to burn, the men in front of a fire every hundred paces also moved, and they lit the torches at the same time, and then lit the pyre with the torches.
Almost instantly, piles and piles of fireworks burst into flames. At first, the fireworks were only a few stars, but later, the fireworks became more and more vigorous, more and more vigorous, and the red flames accompanied by billowing smoke rose into the sky.
It was dark night, the sky was covered with clouds, there was no moonlight and starlight, and this red and bright flame was indescribably bright and dazzling in the darkness.
In the blink of an eye, Feng Wan clearly saw that a rising flame was also burning in the distance, and at the same time, there was a shout of chaos in the city.
Those people were getting closer and closer to the city gate, but unfortunately, the city gate had just creaked open, but it was immediately closed. Rao was so, a thick smoke accompanied by a scorching flame, which almost burned the gatekeeper's hair.
Feng Wan stood on one side, quietly watching the flames rising around him, but in a quarter of an hour, the entire city, forty or fifty red fireworks, lit up the entire night sky.
From her point of view, the capital at this moment seemed to be surrounded by flames. Flames burned outside the city gates, and the people inside came out, and they found out the situation. This kind of confused feeling is the most panicked, Feng Wan can hear the screams and cries in the capital, one after another.
Zeng Xiu was still directing everyone to collect firewood, and after he was busy for a while, he blinked to Feng Wan, who was standing in the corner, his clothes fluttering, and he was quiet and indifferent, and couldn't help but stride towards her.
Coming to her, Zeng Xiu glanced at the place where Wei Ziyang was surrounded and said that they must have seen it too. β
"Yes." Feng Wan answered, and ordered everyone to continue chopping wood and lighting the fire, telling them that whether the general can get out of the siege depends on this fire. β
"Yes."
Zeng Xiu summoned a few people, ordered them to ride horses, and relayed Feng Wan's words to the people of the other three cities.
"You're tired of a lot of words and take a break."
Feng Wan shook her head, and she whispered I want to wait for Ziyang. β
Zeng Xiu was silent. He, she thought.
According to Feng Wan's judgment, in the name of Wei Ziyang's good fighting, the new emperor sent to trap and kill him must be the most sophisticated army in the entire Chen State, and it is also his most trusted team. And this team is the new emperor's close guard!
According to her thoughts, except for the close army guards, the new emperor did not dare to use others. When he was the crown prince, his cronies did not have a decent general except for Wei Ziyang. Now that he has succeeded to the throne, although many generals have been attached, he has not yet fully mastered it, and he does not dare to use it to do such a big thing.
And this close army guards, the family members are in the capital, and everything is done with the emperor first. At this moment, when they saw the surging flames and the billowing smoke, they would definitely think that a large army was attacking the capital. Even, they will make the judgment that the capital is in danger and the emperor's life is in danger.
The emperor's life is not guaranteed, his family does not know whether he is alive or dead, no matter who he is, he will also be in love with war. Either they will panic and then create an opportunity for Wei Ziyang, or they will give up besieging Wei Ziyang and lead their troops back to the capital to save them.
Whatever the result, it will be an opportunity for Wei Ziyang.
Feng Wan secretly said: I only have so many people, Ziyang, that's all I can do.
The flames were still burning, and the sky was already red and red, mixed with billowing smoke, mixed with hoarse cries of fear and panic.
By the time, the cries had become louder and louder, slowly, mixed with the beating of gongs and drums. It sounds as if someone is organizing firefighting inside.
But all the gates were made of fine iron, and the flames burned against them, but in a moment the iron gates were already scorching. Although the people inside have a heart, where do they dare to open it? And after such a delay, the big lock of the iron door gradually melted, but it could not be opened.
In the midst of the flames, Zeng Xiu said that the gongs and drums were noisy, and they might be able to hear them. β
Feng Wan didn't.
In the little by little passes.
Although the sergeants were busy chopping wood, the flames were still getting smaller and smaller.
However, although the flames have become smaller, the people in the city still cannot get out. For the four gates of the city have been melted in half. Although the people inside forcibly smashed open the iron gate with a giant log, they thought that what they had just seen was a raging fire outside the iron gate, so they didn't dare again.
At this time, Zeng Xiu walked behind Feng Wan and said in a low voice, the time has passed. β
The time has passed?
So quickly, this fire burned for nearly two hours?
Feng Wan looked up, and she could see that although the fire was burning at the city gate, because the flames were too large and the south wind was blowing, many houses on the outskirts of the city were also on fire at this time. However, the fire was burned outside for a while, so it shouldn't hurt anyone.
After lowering his eyes for a while, Feng Wan ordered Dao to pass the order, and everyone retreated into the nearby forest. β
"Yes."
Feng Wan and the others slowly retreated into the mountains and forests.
Hiding in the forest, amid the buzzing of mosquitoes, Feng Wan whispered that another day had passed. β
Zeng Xiu looked at her puzzled.
Feng Wan didn't look at him, but looked up at the sky and muttered, Originally, it was our wedding day. I only hope that today, Ziyang can be safe. β
She thought she would really be scared if he didn't have it today......
Just as Feng Wan was thinking so, a group of guards strode towards her, arching their hands and saying, The sound of horses' hooves came from the direction of Xincheng. β
Toward Shinjo?
Feng Wan stood up straight, and she hurriedly said to take me to have a look. Because of the excitement, her cheeks were red: from the direction of Shinjo, could it be......
The guard led her forward. Walking outside the woods, the guard saw Feng Wan looking at the official road, he knelt on the ground and listened for a while, and said seriously From the sound of horses' hooves, it can be heard that nearly 10,000 people have come to ride. They were less than ten miles away. β
As soon as his words fell, Feng Wan had already whispered, I saw it. β
The guards looked up in surprise, and sure enough, a long dragon appeared on the official road winding like a snake in front of them, and the long dragon galloped over, and the torches in their hands looked so dazzling in the dark.
Feng Wan looked at them for a moment, thinking: Wei Ziyang, where are you?
