Chapter Twenty-Six: The Burning of the Terrace
Chu Liuyan was startled, and lightning flashed in his mind, and he had already thought of something. At the beginning, her mother wrote notes, just idle and bored, writing down some of what she saw and heard, but she never thought that these records could help Chu Liuyan at a critical moment.
Chu Liuyan said: "I know where the marshal is now. Captain Lan, may I ask where the prisoners are executed in the army? ”
"Execute prisoners?" Lan Yu thought for a moment and said, "If there are some small captives in normal times, they will be killed at will." If it is an important prisoner, they will usually burn the terrace to death. ”
"Where is the Burning Terrace? We're going to hurry to the Burning Terrace now, and if my guess is right, the Generalissimo must be there. Chu Liuyan hurriedly said.
"This ..... Miss Chu, do you have any evidence for that? Lan Yu asked incredulously.
Chu Liuyan shook his head and said, "No." But trust me. I think the Generalissimo must be burning the terrace now. Let's hurry up, and we won't be able to rescue the marshal. ”
"Miss Chu, there is no evidence, how can you say that? Are you trying to kill everyone? You must also be Sun Deya's spies, otherwise why did the marshal have an accident after you came? One of Lan Yu's guards accused. He has always looked down on women, and he was a little unhappy when he let Chu Liuyan follow, and he felt even more uncomfortable when he saw Chu Liuyan express his opinions.
"Yes, Miss Chu, this burning terrace, every time someone is executed, there will be many soldiers watching. Although it is said that the generalissimo has enemies in the army, if he is really burned to death, will none of the soldiers jump out to take care of him? Miss Chu, I think you must be mistaken. Chen San said.
"No, I can't be mistaken." Chu Liuyan said, "If you don't want to save people, you can continue to look for it here, I'll go by myself, if it's a little late, maybe it'll be too late." After Chu Liuyan finished speaking, he rushed down the mountain with the blue water sword. Xu Da looked at everyone and said, "I believe that Miss Chu's speculation is not wrong. After saying that, he also went down with him. Zhu Chongba naturally refused to fall behind Xu Da, and went down together. So Chang Yuchun and Li Shanchang followed one by one.
Lan Yu looked at the people around her, and had no choice but to say, "Let's go and have a look." Miss Chu doesn't seem to be a person who talks a lot, she must have a reason for saying this. After saying that, he followed with the rest of the people.
When Chu Liuyan and the others felt that the terrace was burned, there were a lot of people in front of the terrace, and no one noticed their existence.
Chu Liuyan, Xu Da, and Zhu Chongba looked through the crowd, and sure enough, they found that a person was tied up on the wooden pillar of the burning terrace. The man had long hair and covered his face, and he couldn't tell who it was at all.
Chang Yuchun's eyes were sharp, and he caught a glimpse of that person's hand, and said, "Look, isn't this person Guo Zixing?" He has six fingers on his fingers, which I found last time. Chu Liuyan and the others looked up, but they couldn't see it really, but they also secretly praised Chang Yuchun for being thick and fine.
"I didn't expect them to dare to send the generalissimo here." While a few people were talking, Lan Yu had already arrived. Lan Yu and they followed all the way, so they didn't lose it.
"For the sake of today, we have to think about how to rescue the generalissimo." After a few people stepped aside, Li Shanchang said.
"I still don't understand why they tied up the generalissimo here?" Chen San said suspiciously.
"I know why. Look at the firewood and torches under the pillars, they must have wanted to burn the generalissimo alive. One thing is certain now is that the soldiers did not know that the generalissimo was tied to the pillar, so as long as Sun Deya, Zhao Jun and Peng Da could burn the generalissimo in full view, they would win. These soldiers saw that they burned the generalissimo but did not save anyone, in other words, they could be regarded as their accomplices. They could have announced who had burned them after they had burned them, leaving these soldiers with no way to retreat and follow them with all their hearts. Chu Liuyan slowly analyzed.
"Liuyan, you are really powerful, not much worse than my trick of being a god and a traitor." Zhu Chongba said with a smile.
Chu Liuyan glanced at the stage and said, "It's not very difficult to rescue the marshal now. As long as one person can go up to the burning terrace and tell the soldiers who is tied to the pillar, then Sun Deya's plot will be revealed, and the marshal can also be rescued. ”
"In that case, I'll go up." Lan Yu immediately said, "I must rescue the marshal, Miss Chu, you know." Lan Yu's words, Chu Liuyan understands, if he can't save Guo Zixing, he won't know how to face Ma Xiuying when he goes back. And Chu Liuyan is the only one who has seen through Lan Yu and Ma Xiuying's private relationship.
Chu Liuyan looked at Lan Yu and said, "Captain Lan, we naturally know that your kung fu is high. But now that you're injured, if Sun Deya and them have any ambush, I'm afraid there will be some danger. Or I'll go, I'm better at light, and at the same time I have plum blossom needles to defend myself, so you can rest assured. ”
"No, Miss Chu, I'll go." Xu Da said: "This burning terrace, since it is used to burn the marshal, I am afraid it is far from being so simple. I believe that Sun Deya must have ambushed all around, what should you do if something happens? I'll do it. ”
Chu Liuyan's heart warmed, but he still said: "Young Master Xu, you are the same when you answer me below." We all have to be careful. ”
The two of them were discussing, and suddenly heard Chang Yuchun say, "Hey, where is the heavy starling?" Why is it gone? ”
Chu Liuyan, Xu Da, Lan Yu and others went around looking for Zhu Chongba, but they didn't find Zhu Chongba's figure.
Li Shanchang said: "There are so many people here, it must be that the boss was accidentally washed away somewhere." ”
"No, it won't!" Chang Yuchun stomped his feet and said, "The boss is still by my side." I just listened to Miss Chu's words, but it was just a blink of an eye, the boss was actually gone, something happened to him. ”
Several people were summarizing, and suddenly heard Chen San shouting, "Isn't that Zhu Chongba?" ”
Everyone looked up and found that before they knew it, Zhu Chongba had climbed onto the burning terrace. He climbed up from the front, and the front of the burning terrace was surrounded by many soldiers, so there was no ambush. And Sun Deya, Peng Da and Zhao Jun on the side of the stage were drinking tea and wandering leisurely, they thought that Guo Zixing would be burned to death in a while, but they didn't expect that something would happen at this time.
Zhu Chongba didn't know how to do anything light, so he climbed onto the stage very clumsily. He scolded in his heart while crawling: Grandma's, I haven't practiced for a long time, and this wall-climbing skill is rusty again.
