Chapter 493: Target North City Gate
Originally, Qin Luming only thought that this chaos in Jinling City was nothing more than Emperor Shengheng clearing the Zongzheng Temple to concentrate power.
But now it seems that things are not so simple.
Obviously, Emperor Shengheng planned to kill two birds with one stone, and at the same time get rid of Zongzheng Temple, he would also get rid of the grassland army.
Originally, according to Emperor Shengheng's plan, even if there was an accident halfway through, it didn't matter if he couldn't kill two birds with one stone, because whether it was to get rid of Zongzheng Temple or this grassland of 20,000 people, everyone was a good thing for the Dayu Dynasty.
It's just that the grassland army, which was originally used as a pawn by Emperor Shengheng, suddenly got rid of Emperor Shengheng's control.
Their direct attack on Emperor Yu's ancestral tomb led them out of the other way.
This is something that Emperor Shengheng would never have thought of, because normal people know that although there are some burial goods in the emperor's mausoleum of Emperor Yu's ancestral mausoleum, compared to the prosperous Jinling City, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
Even if the grassland army hollowed out all the imperial tombs of several Dayu Emperors, there was not much property at all.
These goods were not even enough to serve as military funds for the steppe army's attack.
For this problem, not only Emperor Shengheng couldn't think of it, but even Li Yi and the people from Zongzheng Temple couldn't figure it out.
"In this way, the current Jinling North City or even the North City Gate must have been arranged into a huge trap, once the grassland army enters it, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses, since this is the case, Zongzheng Temple and the people sent by the imperial court will act together, maybe they can be completely annihilated."
Qin Luming's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he said excitedly.
"Dad, I see that you are thinking too much, the imperial court has spent so much effort to not stop traps in the north of Jinling City, how can they let the people of Zongzheng Temple use these traps to destroy all the grassland army, don't forget that this time the grassland army went south in order to destroy Zongzheng Temple."
Qin Shaoyan smiled bitterly and shook her head and said.
"But things have come to this point, are they still going to play the trick of being outside and being inside?"
Qin Shaojie said angrily.
"The human heart is always the most difficult thing to fathom, and it is not surprising that Emperor Shengheng will do anything for his rule."
Li Yi did not shy away from Qin Shaojie because he was the grandson of Emperor Shengheng.
Qin Shaojie wanted to refute this, but he was also pulled by his father Qin Lu.
"Li Gongzi is right, the royal family has never had a personal relationship."
"But that's just one side of the story, it's not necessarily true."
Qin Shaojie was still not convinced.
"Since you think I'm talking about one side, why don't we just stay outside the northern cities of Jinling City and see how things will develop?"
Li Yi smiled confidently and then proposed.
"This ······"
Qin Shaojie hesitated for a while.
After all, Jinling City at this time is simply a thunderstorm that will explode at any time, and even if they hide outside Jinling City, they will inevitably be affected by the pond fish.
"What? Are you kid scared? ”
Qi Chao saw that Qin Shaojie seemed to have the intention of retreating, so he immediately stepped forward and sneered.
"How can I be afraid of your fart, it's just that our Qin family are all old and weak women and children, how can we take such a risk because of your words?"
Qin Shaojie was seen through by Qi Chao, so he immediately became angry and said.
"Your worries are indeed justified, so we only went to the outside of Jinling City to guard, and the others continued to Sizhou County as originally planned."
Li Yi took Qi Chao's words and said.
"That's feasible, then Shaojie and I will stay."
Just when Qin Shaojie was still thinking about how to refuse tactfully without hurting his face, his cousin Qin Shaoyan next to him directly agreed.
This made Qin Shaojie stunned.
"This ······"
"Fooling around, Shaoyan, you are a woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, this matter is extremely dangerous, how can you easily get into danger?"
When Qin Lu heard this, he immediately frowned and objected.
Qin Shaojie, who was originally very embarrassed, was overjoyed when he saw that his father actually came forward to stop him.
But before he could be happy for a moment, Qin Luye's next words made him completely fall into despair.
"This kind of thing is what a man should do, let Shaojie go alone."
"Dad, are you going to push your son into the fire pit?"
Qin Shaojie immediately pulled Qin Lu to his side, and then said in a low voice.
"You know the! Don't you see that these people in front of you are not idle people? ”
Qin Lu also said with a look of hatred.
"Does it matter if they are idle or not?"
Qin Shaojie asked puzzled.
"What does it matter? Don't you know how to cling to others if you don't make it yourself? In this world, apart from kinship and blood, what can be more memorable than a fateful friendship? ”
Qin Lu also directly pressed Qin Shaojie's head and said.
"You also said that they are attached, a few of them are some small people of origin and status, where is it worthy of our Qin family to cling?"
Qin Shaojie said with a disdainful expression.
"You know!"
Qin Lu also slapped Qin Shaojie directly on the back of the head.
"Your uncle said before that this kid in front of him will definitely not be an idle person in the future, and now the Dayu Dynasty is in danger, maybe this kid will be able to worship the prime minister in the future, this kind of person can only get better benefits in the future if he befriends him before he grows up."
"Dad, do you and Uncle think this kid will be able to pay homage to the Marquis in the future? No kidding! ”
Qin Shaojie said with a disdainful face.
"Shut up! Do as I command! ”
Qin Lu also knew that Qin Shaojie had a bit of a dirty relationship with Li Yi before, and it was reasonable for him to look down on Li Yi now.
But Qin Lu also believed in his brother Qin Luming's vision very much, so he could only force Qin Shaojie to follow Qin Luming's arrangement.
"But Dad, you are a son like me, once you encounter any danger, you will be cut off, you think about it yourself!"
Qin Shaojie saw that Qin Lu was already determined to let himself take risks.
So he turned to alarmism.
"Bullshit, Lao Tzu is not so old now, it's a big deal in this case, and then I will continue to give birth to ten or eight sons for my old Qin family."
Qin Lu also said with a disdainful smile.
"Dad, you ······"
Qin Shaojie was directly speechless by Qin Luye.
However, Qin Shaojie knew that although Qin Lu was so ruthless, he actually cared most about his son.
As for continuing to marry, it was just a joke between their father and son.
"In that case, I'll go with this kid, if I really die, I'll be reincarnated as your son when you continue to reincarnate."
Qin Shaojie stepped forward and hugged Qin Luye, and then said with a smile.
"Qin Shilang, you don't need to act like life and death, just now a few of us rushed to the city alone and could escape from so many Jin King guards and Houma Iron Cavalry, now we are just hiding outside the city to observe the situation?"
Qi Chao couldn't help but sneer when he saw the Qin family's father and son being so hypocritical.
"This little brother Qi has a point, both of you are manly husbands, why do you want to be this little daughter?"
Qin Luming also felt that his younger brother and nephew were a little too hypocritical, so he immediately persuaded him.
"In that case, then you should hurry up and go to Sizhou County, I estimate that the grassland army will move soon."
Li Yi felt that he had almost rested in this post station, so he proposed to let everyone in the Qi family and the Qin family hurry up and leave.
So Li Yi and the others didn't get together for long with the big army, and they separated again.
However, this time, in addition to Li Yi and the six people before them, Jing Zizheng, Qin Shaojie, Qin Shaoyan and Qi Ning were added to the team outside Jinling City.
Originally, Qin Shaoyan should not have followed them, but she herself insisted on going to the Qin family, but everyone couldn't resist her, and she could only tell her to be more careful.
As for the reason why Qi Ning insisted on following, it is a little intriguing.
In this way, the original six people directly became ten, and among these ten people, only Jing Zizheng and Qin Shaoyan had no martial arts, but the two of them were very smart.
Therefore, in Li Yi's opinion, they are likely to use the wisdom of the two in the next action.
Just as Li Yi and his party were heading towards the north gate of Jinling City, another team was also moving quickly towards the north gate of Jinling City.
It's just that their number is many times more than Li Yi's.
"Lord Shaman, will we happen to encounter the army of the Dayu Dynasty when we go to Jinling City at this time?"
Fei Doujin, who was walking in the front, asked with some concern.
"No, I already got the news just now that most of the troops in Jinling City have left the city, and they should be heading in the direction of Emperor Dayu's mausoleum at this time."
Mu Hua Li Falcon rode the war horse leisurely, and was in a very good mood.
"In that case, why don't we just ambush them in their path and give them a hard blow?"
At this time, Wan Qi Yuele came up with a seemingly better idea.
"It's not the time yet."
Mu Hua Li Falcon looked at Jinling City, which was already looming in his sight, and his heart began to surge a little.
"But if we really enter Jinling City, when the army of the Dayu Dynasty besieges us, won't we be able to escape?"
At this time, the grassland army thought that Muhua Li Falcon was taking them to attack Jinling City.
But now, not to mention that there are still a large number of defending equipment in Jinling City.
Once they can't attack for a long time, they are likely to be surrounded by those Dayu troops outside Jinling City, and they will inevitably suffer heavy losses at that time.
And even if they really attacked Jinling City easily, the sons and daughters who had held back for so long would definitely massacre and loot.
At that time, it may not be easy to withdraw from Jinling City in a short period of time.
After all, more than 20,000 people had come here at such a great risk to follow them in order to loot enough property.
However, the lack of a fixed time for evacuation meant that their chances of being besieged by the forces of the Dayu Dynasty were greatly increased.
Faced with such a situation, everyone felt that they should now ambush those Dayu troops in Jinling City.
Only by crippling and scattering them can they plunder Jinling City without any scruples.
However, as the commander of this army, Muhua Li Falcon has always been different.
"I said before that there is no problem with my plan, you don't have to worry that those beauties in Jinling City are your beauties and yours, as for those armies of the Dayu Dynasty, they will also be your military merits!"
Mu Hua Li Falcon looked up at the clear blue sky, and then said to everyone heroically.
Seeing that Mu Hua Li Falcon was so sure, they could only continue to carry out his plan.
Soon, they bypassed the official road leading to Jinling City, and then led a large army to rush towards the north gate of Jinling City from the side.
Lao Li, as a pharmacy shopkeeper in Jinling City, opened his shop in the north of Jinling City.
Today, with two guys in a carriage, I just bought a large cart of herbs from outside Jinling City.
"The shopkeeper is just in time to rush back to the city for lunch!"
The guy driving waved the whip in his hand and said to Lao Li in the carriage with a smile.
"Yes, it's just that a large number of bandits suddenly appeared in the city two days ago, and the black smoke and miasma of the scourge in the city have been eliminated, and I don't know if the last two days have been better?"
Lao Li said with a sigh.
"I said that the shopkeeper wants to say that the turmoil in the city may be a disaster for others, but for us it is an opportunity to make money!"
Another young man in the carriage said excitedly.
Lao Li immediately frowned when he heard this.
The young man saw that Lao Li didn't speak, and thought that Lao Li was thinking seriously about his words, so he continued to persuade.
"Shopkeeper, look at how many rich people in the city have been looted this time, many of them have been injured by those bandits, and the people who have been injured are all potential customers for us!"
The more the young man spoke, the more excited he became, and he even squatted directly in front of Lao Li and gushed endlessly.
"We only need to raise the price of herbs now, and the income of our herb shop will rise this year."
"I said Xiao Lu, you guy is too crooked, can we make this kind of black-hearted money?"
The guy who was driving the car in front of him immediately turned his head and said with an indignant face when he heard this.
"How can this be called black-hearted money, these people were injured by bandits, what do we have to do, they came to our herb shop to grab medicine, and we didn't force them to come, how can you say that we are black-hearted!"
The young man known as Xiao Lu immediately retorted when he heard this.
"This is clearly black-hearted money, our pharmacy originally did the business of saving lives and helping the wounded, now is the time for us to save people and treat diseases, if you raise the price of medicine, won't you force people who are so injured and have no money to die?"
The guy who drove the car was also angry, and he retorted angrily.
"Those robbers are all rich people in the city, how can they care about this little money for medicine when they are injured."
Xiao Lu also argued.
"Although these people used to be rich families, but now they have been ruined by those bandits, and their belongings must have been robbed, and we have to raise the price of medicine again, which is to take advantage of the fire to rob and force them to die."
The guy who was driving the car said angrily, waving his whip.
"You elm head······
Xiao Lu originally wanted to continue to defend himself, but then he was stopped by Lao Li waving his hand.
"Shopkeeper, who of us makes sense?"
The guy who was driving the car immediately wanted to ask Lao Li to say a fair word.
But when he turned his head to look at Lao Li, he found that Lao Li was frowning and looking at a mountain forest to the east.
"The Shopkeeper's ······"
Xiao Lu also discovered Lao Li's abnormality.
"Lao Zhang, hurry up!"
Lao Li suddenly stood up from the carriage at this time, and then said to the guy who was driving the carriage urgently.
"What's wrong with the shopkeeper?"
"Don't ask more, I'm afraid it's too late if you don't leave."
Lao Li didn't answer Lao Zhang's question, he just continued to urge Lao Zhang to hurry up and catch the car.
At this time, Xiao Lu had already followed Lao Li's line of sight and saw the abnormality of the mountains and forests in the distance.
"Lao Zhang, hurry up, the mountains and forests over there are full of birds and birds, and at a glance, there are a large number of people coming to Jinling City, maybe those grass soldiers in the south have killed them."
Xiao Lu was also so anxious at this time that he jumped to his feet.
