It may be that Li Chong thinks that Di Renjie is now trapped and killed by him in Jingzhou City, and Li Yao has not arrived with reinforcements for a long time, so he is not worried at all, so he did not send too many people to guard the grain and grass camp.
This also happened to give Cheng Boxian an opportunity.
According to Li Yao's instructions, Cheng Boxian took his twenty brothers and easily assassinated twenty enemy soldiers, changed their clothes, and took them to the barracks to find them.
Because he was wearing the military uniform of the enemy, the soldiers guarding the barracks thought it was his own people, and no one asked, Cheng Boxian looked for the military tents one by one, and after looking for half an hour, he found Qin Jing who was tied to the pillar inside in a small tent at the right rear of the barracks.
At this time, Qin Jing looked very embarrassed, his body was covered with blood, not to mention, his hair was all scattered, giving people the feeling that he didn't look like the high-spirited inner guard commander before.
Cheng Boxian walked in quietly, stretched out his hand and covered Qin Jing's mouth, Qin Jing was immediately awakened and screamed.
Cheng Boxian hurriedly whispered in his ear: "Don't make noise, it's me." β
"Why are you here?" Cheng Boxian saw that Qin Jing had calmed down, so he let go of his hand, and Qin Jing asked Cheng Boxian with a surprised face.
"There's no time to explain, we've infiltrated the enemy camp now, just to save you, you quickly change into enemy clothes and follow us. Cheng Boxian briefly explained to Qin Jing.
With his explanation, Qin Jing nodded knowingly, understanding the situation in front of him.
Cheng Boxian hurriedly untied the rope for Qin Jing, Qin Jing didn't think about it, and immediately changed into the enemy military uniform that Cheng Boxian had hidden and brought in, and then the two quietly sneaked out of the barracks together.
"Goo!" After sneaking out of the barracks, Cheng Boxian made two owl calls and sent a signal to Li Yao.
Li Yao, who had been waiting in the grain and grass camp for a long time, immediately waved his hand as soon as he heard Cheng Boxian's signal, and with his twenty brothers on his side, he began to set fire to the grain and grass camp desperately.
However, at this time, it was summer again, and the night wind was very strong at night, as soon as the fire was released, Li Chong's entire grain and grass camp was swishing and ignited after a while, and the fire followed the wind rapidly, and when the soldiers in the barracks found that the grain and grass camp was on fire, the fire had already burned in the entire grain and grass camp.
Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.
When Li Chong and the others were discussing the withdrawal of troops to the south tomorrow, suddenly, a soldier broke in with a disgraced face, glared at Li Chong and the others and shouted: "Lord Wang, it's not good, something is wrong, the grain and grass camp is burning." β
"What, how did it burn?" Li Chong asked angrily.
"We don't know that the brother who guards the grain and grass camp is now fighting the fire with the others. The soldier said to Li Chong anxiously.
Li Chong still had time to ask more, and hurriedly led a group of people out to put out the fire.
As soon as the fire broke out, Li Chong's military camp was immediately in chaos, Cheng Boxian ordered the twenty people on his side to escape quickly, and Li Yao ordered the twenty people on his side to withdraw quietly, but he stayed alone.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the barracks and when everyone went to put out the fire, Li Yao sneaked quietly in the direction of the Chinese army's big tent, he wanted to find Dong Cheng and take him away from Li Chong's barracks by the way, after all, he and Dong Mingzhu have been husband and wife for so many years, and Li Yao can't leave Dong Cheng alone.
At this time, Dong Cheng took advantage of the chaos and ran to the small tent where Dong Mingzhu was imprisoned.
As soon as Dong Mingzhu was locked in the small tent, she struggled to escape, but the rope that tied her was too tight, she couldn't break free, and when she heard the chaos outside, Dong Mingzhu was even more eager to escape, just when Dong Mingzhu was desperately trying to break free from the rope, Dong Cheng rushed in from outside the small tent.
Dong Mingzhu was stunned and exclaimed, "Why are you here?"
"I don't know who set fire to the grain and grass camp, the prince and they all went to fight the fire, I am running here now while I am running in chaos, aunt, I will loosen the tie for you, you quickly take advantage of the chaos to escape, run as far as you can, don't let them catch it again, otherwise you will not escape death in the future." Dong Cheng said as he ran up to untie the rope for Dong Mingzhu.
"Do you know that you have been expelled from the Dong family now?" Dong Mingzhu asked Dong Cheng rhetorically.
Dong Cheng immediately fell silent, but the movements in his hands never stopped.
After untying the rope that tied Dong Mingzhu, Dong Chengcai said to Dong Mingzhu: "I have my own choice, this time I follow the prince, I think it is right, after the prince builds the capital Yangzhou, our group of people will be the founding heroes, it is better than worrying every day under the queen mother." β
"What? Li Chong wants to build a capital in Yangzhou?" Dong Mingzhu stood up from the ground and asked in surprise.
"Yes, Xia Ling's advice to him, he will lead the army south to Yangzhou tomorrow and establish a regime. Dong Cheng briefly explained to Dong Mingzhu.
Dong Mingzhu nodded when he heard this, and took all Dong Cheng's words to heart.
Dong Cheng urged: "You run quickly! I can only help my aunt get you here." β
"I'm leaving, what are you going to do?" Dong Mingzhu asked worriedly.
"Auntie, rest assured, this time the grain and grass camp was burned, someone must have sneaked into the barracks, my aunt is gone, just use this as an excuse, then the prince can't blame me, I will justify myself, aunt, you don't need to worry. In order to let Dong Mingzhu leave with confidence, Dong Cheng opened his mouth to comfort Dong Mingzhu.
Don't look at what he says, Dong Cheng knows very well in his heart that if Dong Mingzhu escapes this time, he will not be able to escape the blame, with Li Chong's character, he will definitely have to be executed, Dong Cheng thought in his heart that when Dong Mingzhu escapes safely, he will find a way to leave while the chaos, that is, to protect his aunt and his own life, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
When Dong Mingzhu heard him say this, she immediately nodded, and was about to rush out of the tent and escape.
But at this moment, a tall man in the armor of the deputy general rushed in from outside the tent, and as soon as he saw the two people in the big tent, the deputy general smiled and said: "The prince is really right, you Dong Cheng, you really took advantage of the chaos to save your aunt, fortunately, the prince has been on guard against you, and sent the deputy general to take a look, just in case." β
"Zhao Tong, she is my aunt after all, do I want to see death and not save her? If I don't save her now, then what face will I have to meet the Dong family in the future?" Dong Cheng stiffened his face and opened his mouth to explain to the deputy general named Zhao Tong.
And this Zhao Tong is one of the most powerful lieutenant generals under Xue Yi, don't look at the black and stupid of the person, he looks stupid and stupid, but on the battlefield, he really suffered a lot when he started fighting, Li Chong led the rebel army all the way over, this Zhao Tong also contributed a lot, and Li Chong was quite heavy.
Dong Cheng never thought that Li Chong would guard against him and send this Zhao to investigate, which is good, Dong Mingzhu will be difficult to escape if he wants to.
Just when Dong Cheng was disheartened, Dong Mingzhu stretched out his arms in front of Dong Cheng, glared at Zhao Tong and shouted: "It has nothing to do with him at this time, you kind of come to me, don't do anything to Dong Cheng." β
"Cheap goods...... Smack......" Zhao Tong scolded, rushed forward and slapped Dong Mingzhu on her right cheek.
Due to the too much force, Dong Mingzhu flew to the side directly after being beaten, and he couldn't get up when he lay on the ground, and there was a hot pain on his right face, so that Dong Mingzhu couldn't even speak, and a stream of blood flowed out of the corner of Dong Mingzhu's mouth, and Dong Mingzhu's right face immediately became red and swollen.
After all, Dong Cheng is Dong Mingzhu's nephew, and seeing his own aunt being beaten like this, how can he bear it.
With a loud shout, Dong Cheng immediately rushed up, and threw a fist to Zhao Tong in the face, but after all, he is a civil official, where is there such a natural experience of military generals, he smashed this punch, Zhao Tong didn't even tilt his head, just stared at him coldly and smiled: "Are you a fist made of sandbags?" β
"Bang......" Zhao Tong said, his huge fist squeezed, and the bang punch smashed Dong Cheng into his chest.
The powerful force directly smashed Dong Cheng backwards and flew out, smashing the tent behind him and flying directly out of the tent.
"Poof......" Dong Cheng struggled to get up from the ground, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
But he didn't care about his own safety, but shouted to Dong Mingzhu: "Auntie, go quickly, I'll hold him back." β
"None of you can go. Zhao Tong snorted.
After drinking, he rushed forward again and stepped on his back with a kick for Dong Cheng, Dong Cheng was trampled on the ground by Zhao Tong on the spot, and spit out blood.
Dong Mingzhu watched Dong Cheng being beaten like this, her tears flowed out, but when she thought that Dong Cheng became like this in order to save her, Dong Mingzhu immediately made a decision the next moment, and quickly stood up from the ground, Dong Mingzhu raised her legs and ran out of the small tent, wanting to escape.
But she was naΓ―ve.
She had just run forward a few steps, and Zhao Tong, who was stepping on Dong Cheng, withdrew her feet, poked down with both hands, grabbed Dong Cheng in an instant, and threw it all at Dong Mingzhu with a brush.
"Bang......" The two collided, and a loud thud erupted.
Dong Mingzhu was directly smashed to the ground, Dong Cheng fell to the ground, and his head just hit a stone at Dong Mingzhu's feet.
When Dong Mingzhu reacted and turned around to inspect Dong Cheng's situation, he only found that Dong Cheng's face was covered with blood, and his eyes were looking at her sadly, and he had not closed it.
"Hmph! That's what happens to traitors, damn it. Zhao Tong clapped his hands, snorted coldly with disdain, and walked towards Dong Mingzhu, who collapsed, as he spoke.
But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared not far behind him.
