Chapter 41: The Burning of the City
Zhang Wuji saw the dismount power of the Taishi of Tokto. He said calmly: "I don't know how many layers the old-timer's Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong has cultivated? ”
Zhang Wuji still treats Totoku with respect. Although his position was different, he always respected his loyal ministers and righteous people. If it weren't for Emperor Yuan Shun's belief in Yu Yan to recall him, the million-strong army he led failed to defeat Zhang Shicheng, and Meng Yuan's last loyal to the royal family would have been lost. I'm afraid that the Northern Expedition in the south will not be so easy.
Hearing Zhang Wuji's words, Totok was a little surprised. What was surprising was that Zhang Wuji actually knew his teacher's lineage, and he could accurately tell the origin of the name.
Totoku pointed at Zhang Wuji with a golden whip, and then said stunned: "Don't you know if you come to understand it?" The old man would like to see which of the supreme Qiankun of the Ming Sect is better or worse than the dragon elephant of the old man's Tantra! ”
Seeing the provocation of Toto, Zhang Wuji was still towering.
Zhang Wuji shook the folding fan and said: "There will be a fight between the deity and the old-timers." But it won't be today. ”
Hearing Zhang Wuji's words, Totoku couldn't help frowning.
Tokhtar asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Zhang Wuji stood up at this time, and he said: "I don't know if the old-timers want to compete with Zaixia here, or to save your emperor Mengyuan." ”
Hearing this, he thought about it for a moment.
Then Tokhtar yelled bad and said, "Not good! It's a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain! ”
And Zhang Wuji also stood up at this time and said, "No! It is to lure the snake out of the hole, and the snake hits seven inches. ”
At this time, Wang Baobao said: "Master Tai, it may be that this kid is playing tricks!" ”
Zhang Wuji calculated the time in his heart, and then said: "Whether it is a trick or not, I will know immediately." ”
Zhang Wuji looked at Lao Totuo and Wang Baobao, and then said: "Senior, His Royal Highness, we will fight sooner or later, but not today." Today I rescued Zhiruo and cleaned up the two old shallots, and I was in a good mood. Don't want to do it anymore. In my opinion, you might as well hurry up and get the watermill ready. Because soon a flame will sweep through the entire capital. ”
Tokhtar was shocked when he heard this, and then his hand holding the golden whip trembled a little, and he said, "What! You're going to burn the city! You're so vicious! ”
Zhang Wuji said with a smile: "If you want to achieve extraordinary things, you naturally have to use extraordinary means. ”
As soon as Zhang Wuji's words fell, he only heard a "whoosh", and a firelight rose into the sky, and brilliant fireworks dispersed, breaking the silence of the night sky.
Seeing this brilliant fireworks, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but chuckle.
Subsequently, there were small-scale explosions in the yamen of the entire capital, as well as the mansions of the princes and nobles. Then came the flames that rose into the sky.
Even in the inn, they saw the flames around them as bright as day.
At present, autumn and winter are alternating, the climate in the north is very dry and cold, and the fire ignited by the people of the Ming Sect, and then the wind quickly spreads in the city.
Numerous heat waves swept across the city. In just a moment, half of the city was enveloped in flames.
Seeing the sky-high fire of the whole city, I listened to the shouts of the people in the city one after another.
Zhang Wuji said at this time: "I don't know if the two of you want to be here and continue to work with me?" Or hurry back to be a loyal minister and filial son of King Qin? ”
After Wang Baobao and the Taishi Tokhtar weighed it, they both sighed and turned to leave, leading his elite soldiers to fight fires in various parts of the city.
After all, they have all heard of Zhang Wuji's ability. They may not be able to take him down here, and he has no intention of doing it again, so it is better to put out the fire first and reduce the damage in the city.
After all, compared to a rebel leader who instigated the world, it was more serious that there was a loss of order in the city, and Zhongshu Province could not rule the whole country.
Totoku knew very well in his heart that if the important officials of Zhongshu Province died, or the emperor's death was unclear, then it would inevitably cause shocks in the Yuan court. At that time, the Yuan court lost its restraining force, and the princes in various places competed for power and profit, resulting in a great chaos in the world, which was the real disaster. It is also the scene that these rebel leaders are most happy to see.
Which is more important, he knows very well in his heart, after seeing the fire in the sky, he led the troops to leave in a hurry, no longer entangled with Zhang Wuji.
Zhang Wuji looked at Zhao Min who was stunned in front of him, he shook the folding fan lightly and said, "Miss Zhao, it was just a small test in Wan'an Temple before. This was my real victory. I believe that after this difficulty, your court may not be able to issue a decent order within a month. ”
Zhao Min looked at Zhang Wuji in front of him, and even didn't dare to recognize him.
Zhao Min bowed to Zhang Wuji at this time, and then said, "Brother Wuji, this time I really obeyed you." I will not be your enemy again. The price of being your enemy. Saying that, Zhao Min looked at the firelight in the sky, and she said, "This price is too great." ”
Zhang Wuji nodded and said, "Hmm! Very good. Then you might as well go home and get ready. When I have sent off all the people of the six major factions, I will set out to welcome my father-in-law. If you want to see the Dragon Slayer Knife, this is the only one chance. ”
Zhao Min nodded silently at Zhang Wuji, and then said, "Okay!" Then we'll see you again! ”
After that, Zhao Min used her light skills to leave, she is now very worried about her father's safety, and she doesn't know if Zhang Wuji set fire to the Ruyang Mansion this time.
Zhang Wuji said to Xiao Zhao and Zhou Zhiruo: "The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has five flavors." It's time for us to get moving. Let's go, let's go to Wan'an Temple first and see if the people from the six major factions have come out. After taking them away, the matter will be put aside for the time being. ”
Then Zhang Wuji put an ingot of gold on the table.
Zhou Zhiruo and Xiao Zhao followed him out of the door.
Zhou Zhiruo looked around and saw the firelight in the sky and the billowing smoke in the night.
Zhou Zhiruo said at this time: "Brother Wuji, although you can treat the Mongolian Tartars by any means, is this arson and burning the city a bit excessive?" There are still many innocent people in this city. ”
Zhang Wuji looked back at Zhou Zhiruo, and he said with a smile: "Sister Zhiruo, don't worry, this fire is only burning in the mansions of the various ministries and officials and nobles of the Yuan Court, and the lives of the ordinary people are in another corner. When I drew up a map of the capital, I calculated that the fire would not have burned the houses of ordinary people anyway. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Wuji smiled bitterly.
"We still have to thank the Mongolian Tatars for their discrimination against our Han people. If they don't divide us Han people into three, six, nine and so on, but really live together, I'm afraid that this fire that burns the city will really implicate a lot of innocent people. ”
At present, in the Wan'an Temple, there are corpses all over the field, and the blood is flowing like a river. And the murderer is naturally Fan Yao.
Fan Yao took advantage of their unpreparedness to get rid of all the guards, and then opened the gate of the Wan'an Temple Tower.
released all the people of the six major factions who had recovered their strength.
At this time, Zhang Wuji held Xiao Zhao in one hand and Zhou Zhiruo in the other, falling from the sky under the reflection of the firelight.
