"Senior, how's it going?" As soon as Wei Feng came out of Li Zicheng's military camp, two young men in Confucian robes immediately greeted him, Wei Feng shaved his teeth and said: "The roast chicken is not bad, the elbow is not stewed, and it costs money to eat it." ”

Hearing this, the two students had a black line, did we want to ask you what you ate in Li Zicheng's camp?

Do we care if your elbow stew is rotten?

Thinking about it, the two looked at Wei Feng and said, "Senior, don't be joking, I'm asking about the 100,000 catties of gunpowder." ”

"Sold."

Wei Feng gritted his teeth and said, and the student said excitedly when he heard this: "What price?" ”

Wei Feng held out a finger.

"One hundred thousand taels?"

The two frowned, this is too cheap, Wei Feng shook his finger and said, "Multiply ten." ”

"One million taels!

”

The two students opened their mouths wide in surprise, and Wei Feng made a silent gesture: "Shhh, be quiet." ”

"Uh-huh."

The two students nodded desperately when they heard this, their eyes were full of excitement, and Wei Feng said: "Inform the caravan, come to Li Guo tonight to trade, and pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." ”

"Yes."

The two students immediately responded: "Let's do it immediately." ”

Wei Feng said and said: "In addition, go back and send a message to Luoyang City, saying that the gunpowder will be handed over tonight, and they will be ready at any time." ”

"Understood."

The two immediately went to run errands, and Wei Feng happily rode his little donkey and hurried into the distance step by step.

At this time, in Li Zicheng's camp tent, Li Zicheng looked at the drawings on the table, and followed closely: "When Li Guo is in charge of the handover tonight, you must be optimistic about the quality of this batch of gunpowder, don't be deceived by this pit." ”

"Yes, my nephew understands."

Li Guo hugged his fists, followed by Li Zicheng and looked at Tian Jianxiu and Hao Shaoqi and said: "This authentic matter of Luoyang City, I will leave it to the two of you to handle, remember, you must be cautious, this matter must not let Luoyang get any information, otherwise they have to take precautions, and we will not be able to do anything." ”

"Yes, the last will know."

The two of them should be immediately, Li Zicheng nodded and was very satisfied, and then Li Zicheng stared at him and said: "The rest of the generals listen to the order, and when Luoyang City is blown up, the whole army will charge, don't give the officers and troops any chance to counterattack, do you understand?" ”

"Yes."

"Okay, let's go down and get ready."

Li Zicheng waved his hand and asked everyone to go down and prepare, just when everyone left, Li Guo did not move, but stayed, and when everyone left, Li Guo looked at Li Zicheng at this time and said, "Uncle." ”

"Oh, what's the matter? Too? ”

Li Guo looked at Li Zicheng with a little contemplation at this time: "Uncle, tonight with Lantian handover, shall we?" ”

Li Guo made a gesture to wipe his neck, seeing this gesture, Li Zicheng was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Why?"

Li Guo asked puzzledly, Li Zicheng heard this and smiled: "Guo'er, our identity is different now, if we can take Luoyang, we will be a prince, as a prince, we must establish our own reputation, this gunpowder was sold to us by Lantian for one million taels of silver, there is no fraud or injustice in the whole process, you and I are willing, if we come to a black and eat black, then we are still thieves, in the eyes of the world, even if we are Luoyang, we are bandits, whether they are civilians, Or if the scholars don't bother to be with us, we can't recruit talents, which is not good for our great cause, understand? ”

Li Guo scratched his head when he heard this: "Uncle means that we used to be heroes in the green forest, but after taking Luoyang, we will become a prince and an official figure, so we have to establish our own prestige, right?" ”

"Well, the son can be taught, that's right, we also have to have our own base, but also to develop our own territory, just like, Lantian Li Chaosheng, I want to occupy Luoyang, take Luoyang as a base, and begin to radiate the entire Henan, to see if we can run Henan into a second Lantian, if we also have a foundation like Lantian, then the big thing will be done!"

Hearing this, Li Guo nodded: "I understand uncle, then I'll go." ”

"Go ahead."

Li Guo walked out of the camp tent, and at this time only Li Zicheng was left in the camp tent, Li Zicheng looked at the roof of the camp tent with solemn eyes, as if there was a person there, and said to himself: "Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng, they are all from the green forest, why is the gap like a moat now!" ”

……

In Luoyang City, Li Chaomeng opened his mouth and yawned: "Ah...... Aren't you sleeping yet? Xiao Lei? ”

Shi Xiaolei heard this and said, "Don't worry, wait, wait." ”

"What are you waiting for?"

Li Chaomeng rubbed his eyes, and Shi Xiaolei said, "Wait for the letter." ”

At this moment, I heard a person running in from outside, and when he arrived at the door, Dongdong knocked on the door: "Minister, there is a letter." ”

"Hmm!"

Shi Xiaolei suddenly got up and said, "Come in, say." ”

The man pushed the door in, it was a person from the Investigation Department, this person looked at Shi Xiaolei and said: "I just received the news that Mr. Wei Feng sold the gunpowder to Li Zicheng at the price of one million taels of silver, and he will hand it over tonight." ”

Hearing this, Shi Xiaolei's eyes lit up suddenly: "Okay, Wei Feng, this kid really has two hits, one million taels, and Li Zicheng, a fool, is willing to buy it." ”

Hearing this, Li Chaomeng also smiled and said: "After Wei Feng came back from Liaodong, he was a little more cunning, and he was even more powerful than before. ”

Shi Xiaolei rubbed his hands and said: "Li Zicheng can get gunpowder tonight, but he definitely can't wait so long, that is to say, he must have started digging tunnels now, according to the distance of their army from the city, he can start digging at a distance of five hundred meters at the nearest level, and when he digs under the city wall, it will be almost dawn, and tomorrow gunpowder can be delivered, so Li Zicheng is likely to explode tomorrow tomorrow!" ”

Thinking of this, Shi Xiaolei's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Chaomeng and said, "Brother Mengzi, I can't sleep tonight, we have to make preparations, maybe when we do it, it will be tomorrow morning." ”

Li Chaomeng heard this and said, "Then what are you waiting for, go!" ”

"Let's go."

The two of them said and got dressed, followed by their weapons, closed the door with their hands, and soon came to a compound not far from King Fu's mansion, where five or six hundred people had gathered, these were all good in the army.

As soon as Shi Xiaolei and Li Chaomeng came, everyone looked at the two, Li Chaomeng signaled to Shi Xiaolei and said, Shi Xiaolei said: "The big guys are ready to prepare, sleep in clothes tonight, and wait for the opportunity to move tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes."

Everyone hugged their fists and whispered, followed by a group of people in this small courtyard, leaning against the wall and falling asleep, whirring......

Shi Xiaolei and Li Chaomeng also leaned against the root of the wall, and soon Li Chaomeng fell asleep, Shi Xiaolei looked helpless, it seems that he has to be on duty tonight, there is no way he and Li Chaomeng must have a night watch, once Li Zicheng works fast, it will blow up in the middle of the night, and he must hurry up, otherwise when they are ready to do it, Li Zicheng will enter the city.

Thinking that Shi Xiaolei's eyes were round, he couldn't sleep tonight!

At this time, at the head of Luoyang City, Liu Zeqing inspected the city defense again with his armor and stomach, and found that there was nothing wrong, and after a day of fatigue, he got off the city defense and returned to his camp, at this time the beautiful concubine knelt at Liu Zeqing's feet with foot-washing water: "Master, wash your feet." ”

Liu Zeqing nodded, and the beautiful concubine took off Liu Zeqing's boots......

In the dead of night, the general fell asleep, only the sad patrol soldiers held on to the city wall, although they were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes, but the patrol could not stop, so they patrolled all night, and in the second half of the night, suddenly a soldier said: "Hey, don't you hear any sound?" ”

Hearing this, the rest of the soldiers shook their heads, and one of them said, "It looks like someone is throwing stones." ”

Hearing this, a soldier said, "Yes, it looks like someone is throwing stones." ”

Ding, ding, ding!

Although the voice was very slight, it was still very harsh in the dead of night, and then a soldier said: "Someone is smashing stones, no one is smashing the city wall, right?" ”

Hearing this, the rest of the soldiers laughed: "Are you kidding, smash the city wall, this Luoyang city is more than three feet thick, who can smash it through?" ”

Several soldiers didn't believe it, even if this city wall could be smashed through, the ghosts didn't believe it.

All the soldiers looked disbelieving, but the sound of smashing the wall was still the same, and a slightly older soldier said: "It can't go on like this, if someone really smashes the city wall, we don't report it in time, and the captain will punish us tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, one of the soldiers said, "What then?" ”

The older soldier said, "Inform the centurion." ”

"Yes, go to the centurion."

The centurion was woken up from his sleep by a group of soldiers, glared and said, "What's the matter?" Sleep well. ”

"My lord, no, we found out about the situation, someone smashed the wall!"

"What?"

The centurion was shocked and looked at a few people with a confused face, what is it called someone smashing the wall?

"Centurion, when we were patrolling, we heard the sound of smashing the wall, and we were afraid that someone would smash the wall, so we came to report to the centurion."

"Smashing the city wall in the middle of the night?"

The centurion's eyes widened, and he said, "Let's go, let's see." ”

Saying that, the centurion got dressed and ran out, came to the section of the city wall where these soldiers patrolled, looked around, but did not find anything, the centurion frowned and said, "Where did anyone smash the wall?" ”

"I don't know, we haven't found anyone either, but Centurion, you listen to the voice."

Ding, ding, ding......

"Obviously the sound of a chisel gouging through a wall?"

Hearing this, the centurion blinked and said, "But where are the people?" Why can't you see the person who chiseled the wall, Ma San threw down the torch. ”

】

"Yes."

As soon as the centurion gave the order, a soldier named Ma San immediately threw the torch down the city, and the free fall of the torch illuminated the wall, but no one was digging the wall at all?

"I ...... Grass"

Seeing this, the centurion couldn't help but burst into foul language, obviously there was no one, but the sound of tinkling and dinging was very clear to everyone's ears.

At this time, Ma San said: "Everyone, do you think it is possible that it is haunted!" ”

"Haunted?"

Hearing this, the eyes of the other soldiers widened: "Don't you talk nonsense? ”

Ma San said: "No, don't talk nonsense, you see this is a battlefield, and tens of thousands of people died during the day, do you say that his yin qi is not strong in this place?" If the yin qi is strong, it is easy to be haunted, I tell you, I have seen the haunting of our village, there is an old bachelor in our village, after he died, a black cat jumped over his head, and then he stood up, and chased after people when he saw them, and the scene was terrifying. ”

"I'm grass, Ma San, don't scare me, I'm cowardly."

"Yes, Ma San, you donkey day, you talk about this in the middle of the night, but what Ma San said is not unreasonable, so many people died here during the day, and if it is not good, there will be unjust souls or something, and the siege of the city during the day is not defeated, and at night it turns into a ghost to dig the wall!"

……

A group of people only felt cold when they heard this, and a cold wind rushed directly from the root of the tail to everyone's Tianling Gai, what a haunting!

"Go, go! Don't scare people here, how can there be a ghost, Lao Tzu has been a soldier for seven or eight years, why have I never seen a ghost, I'm afraid that a ghost will be a ball soldier! ”

The centurion listened to the conversation of a few people and was immediately furious, what kind of gossip to confuse the public, how can there be ghosts in this world, Lao Tzu said that his heart was abrupt.

Hearing this, everyone didn't say anything, but Ma San pointed behind the centurion, what do you think it is?

When the centurion heard this, he felt a cold wind swishing in the back of his neck, no, he wouldn't turn his head and ......

"Who!"

The centurion shouted and unsheathed his waist knife at the same time: "Don't come here, Lao Tzu hacked you to death!" ”

"Ah~ What are you doing?"

Just when the centurion was nervous, a lazy voice came, and he saw the centurion of the other team coming over with his pants and saying, "I get up at night to pee, what are you shouting here?" ”

Hearing this, the centurion breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was frightened and couldn't spread the matter, otherwise he wouldn't be able to mix it in the future, thinking that the centurion glared at the back fiercely, Ma San stood up at this time and said with a smile: "Lord Zhang, that's the case, we patrolled in the middle of the night, and when we arrived here, we heard a sound of smashing the wall." ”

Ma San paused as he spoke, and then listened to Ding Ding Ding...... The sound of chiseling the wall was heard again.

"That's it, we don't know what the situation is, so let's report it to the centurion, centurion, check it, there is no one, so I want to shout and scare, if it can be cheated, it will be the best, but this thief's mental quality is very good, and he didn't cheat it."

Ma San said, and Captain Zhang Baili heard this and said, "That's the case, Lao Wang, but where did the sound of the wall come from?" ”

Centurion Wang shook his head and said, "I don't know either?" ”

Zhang Baifu said: "Come, let's look for it together." ”

Captain Zhang called his team and followed him along the city wall, but there was still nothing, but this ding-ding...... The sound of chiseling the wall is still in the ears.

"Damn, it's weird, I've been looking for a lot of things, and I haven't even seen a ghost, where did this sound of chiseling the wall come from?"

"yes, the sound is right here."

A soldier chimed in, and seeing that everyone was puzzled, Ma San whispered, "You say, this can't be a ghost's doing!" ”
