Chapter 124 forced in
At this moment, Mo Ye really understood one thing.
That is, although he has a somewhat dog personality, Yu Wensheng is definitely not a human.
The thinking of a person like him, who is still generally normal, can't understand how his perverted thoughts came about, listening to what he means, is not only coercing him, but also forcing Zheng Quqi to show up?
So does he know that Zheng Quqi escaped, or does he not care where she is, in short, his purpose is to hold all the possibilities in his hands, and finally achieve a goal - to find Zheng Quqi.
At this time, Fu Rong held on to the large helmet and rushed over panting: "General, Moye is cunning and treacherous, he sent soldiers and horses to raid the south city gate, and now the city gate has been breached, and a large number of civilians have fled!" β
Yu Wensheng's reaction to this was very flat: "Gather Nanlin's garrison, and kill all the Julu army, as for the civilians who escaped, it is very important." β
What does this mean...... Those civilians fled? Leave them alone?
Fu Rong understood: "Yes! β
ββ
South City Gate
The city gate was violently breached, and the two armies fought, and immediately the north, south, east and west, stabbed indiscriminately, and the killing was inseparable.
The city gate was blocked by a thousand gold pendants, and the people in the city ran in panic, and it was not strange that some people fled out, but it was strange that a team of people took advantage of the chaos at the moment to run towards the "fire pit".
These people are the ministers and them.
It is also a coincidence that they did not keep up with the vanguard of Moye, but accidentally discovered the hidden sneak attack team of the siege and followed behind, but seeing that the south gate was broken, they naturally knew that this "negotiation" must have ended in failure.
But the person was still saved, so he tore off the clothes of the soldiers who died in the battle and put them on his body, and mixed into the city, intending to wait for the opportunity to rescue Yang Gu.
It didn't take long for the Ye army's reinforcements to arrive, and the situation was reversed, and the Ye army had the advantage and killed all the giant deer soldiers who broke through the city, quelling this fierce battle.
The people living near the south city gate, some of them were lucky enough to escape, and many more were not so lucky, seeing that the city gate was closed tightly again, isolating the free outside of the city, they were forced back to the city in the crying and shouting, and became the turtle in the urn.
Gongchen Ya and the others hid in the abandoned mansion in disrepair, and they listened to the miserable and desperate cries of the people outside the wall who could only stay in the city and wait for death, and their expressions were solemn and unbearable.
"How many people have escaped?" Mei Yi said hatefully.
Uncle Bai shook his head and said with relief: "At least, some people escaped." β
"I don't understand, why did Sima attack the South City Gate, it was Yu Wensheng who didn't keep his promise, so he had to make a dangerous move?" Some people are puzzled.
Some people also saw through it: "You are stupid, this look is premeditated, this is just talking, how do you know that Yu Wensheng will not keep his word?" I'm afraid this is Sima's trick at all! β
Those who have read the book immediately answered: "It's a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." β
"Yes, yes, that's it."
Some people also grasped the key points and asked: "But why did Sima pay such a big price and sacrifice his troops to break the city?" Didn't he just hand over the people and everything would be solved? β
At this time, Gongchen Ya, who had been silent, finally opened his mouth: "Either he doesn't trust Yu Wensheng to keep his promise, or he can't fulfill Yu Wensheng's request at all, so he will choose such a means from the beginning." β
Yu Wensheng made a request, and he asked Sima to return his wife to Zhao...... Could it be, in fact, his wife was killed by Sima a long time ago, right? β
Xiao Meng stood behind the people, and she muttered in surprise: "Could it be that the woman who followed Sima Moye before was not Yu Wensheng's wife at all?!" β
Seeing them talking about it, Uncle Bai had a headache when he heard it, and he raised his hand: "Okay, it's useless to discuss these now, what we should consider is ......"
"Shhh
Gongchen Ya suddenly said with a serious expression.
Everyone was stunned, and as soon as the sound died down, they could hear the movement from the long street in the middle of the night, the number of "da-da" footsteps, and the clatter of the wheels of the car rolling against the floor, they all looked out in unison, only to see the fire like a dragon, reflected on the dark wall.
"Something's wrong."
They pried open a corner of the window and peered through the gap.
I saw a team of men and horses dragging the cart, carrying all the fire oil reserves in the city on the cart board, and the soldiers in the rear stopped every short distance to pour it on the surrounding houses.
"What are they going to do?!"
Xiao Meng smelled the familiar pungent smell of fire oil, and only felt chills all over his body.
Pouring fire oil on such a large scale in the city can't be just for fun, right?
Gongchen Ya also breathed tightly for guessing that one possibility, and his voice almost burst out from between his teeth: "You stay here first and don't act rashly, I'll go out to investigate the situation first!" β
He kicked up to the top, climbed on the wall, and under the cover of the trees, he bent down and lurked in the shadows, all the while looking down to observe the movement.
Finally, let him wait for a soldier who came out alone to release water.
Silently slid down the corner of the wall, and suddenly covered his mouth from behind, and dragged him into the shadows with force.
"Don't shout at the end, or your throat will be cut in the next second."
The cold voice is like a knife blade, and people dare not doubt the authenticity of it.
The soldier knew that it was bad, and he was sweating on his back: "Who are you?" What are you doing? β
"You ask this nonsense, do you think I'm going to tell you honestly, or are you trying to stall for time? But either way, I advise you to die of this heart, and now, tell me, what are you doing on the streets? β
The soldier wanted to struggle for a while, but the next moment, he felt a tingling sensation of a chill piercing his skin, and he was so frightened that he immediately replied: "Prepare to burn the city." β
"Why burn the city?"
"Because, because Sima Moye of the Julu Country broke his promise and brought his fake wife over three times and twice, the general was angry, and said that if he couldn't hand over anyone at noon, he would set it on fire."
"Fake? Are you saying that Sima Moye brought a fake lady over, planning to mess around? β
"Yes, that person is a fake, the general has already killed her."
Gongchen Ya didn't expect Sima to do such a thing, this is undoubtedly distrustless and despicable means, in the face of such a provocation, it is no wonder that Yu Wensheng will return the tribute with cruelty.
"Last question, where is Yang Gu?"
The soldier thought for a moment and said, "He should ...... It's being imprisoned in the City Lord's Mansion, there are many people locked up there, if you ask me where I am, I'm a small pawn, and I can't know at all. β
"Okay."
As if satisfied with his acquaintance, the minister's voice let go of him in a friendly voice.
However, before the soldier could run and shout, he stabbed him away from the darkness.
Afterwards, he changed into the clothes of the other party's Ye soldiers, ripped off the waist card, and then returned to the team in the form of him, and followed these soldiers along the way to pour oil on the large buildings in the city.
He is silent, he only does things quietly along the way, and from time to time he hears people hiding in the house, and he will cry out in fear: "Don't, don't set fire to us......"
"Is there anyone who can save us, will Mo Sima really come to save us?"
"Why don't you hand people over, aren't the lives of so many of us more important than a woman? The King of the Giant Deer knows that Sima Moye has ignored the lives of people in the city such as me, how vicious he is! β
Obviously, they all know what fate they will face next.
Gongchen Ya didn't know what Sima Moye thought, did he really kill the person and couldn't hand it over, or did he think that the woman named Zheng Quqi could really be equal to the people of a city?
No one had considered that the woman, who was said to be seriously injured, had already managed to escape without a trace from the heavily guarded camp.
Who will believe this?
Because of this, Mo Ye didn't make a big deal about this matter, and of course he also needed Yu Wensheng to maintain a suspicion in his heart, so that he could at least use Zheng Quqi to hold him hostage.
As it turned out, he did it right, but also wrong.
He has achieved part of his goal, but there is no way back, this time, he can't hand over the real Zheng Quqi, then this will put him in a discredited situation, and the final consequences caused by Wind Valley Sand City will also be borne by him.
Whether the reputation is good or bad, Mo Ye doesn't really care, but this time the defeat made him difficult to let go.
He couldn't figure out how Yu Wensheng could distinguish the authenticity of "Zheng Quqi" with just one glance.
If he hadn't recognized people so quickly, and all went well, the people of the city would have been released overnight, and he would have had enough time to attack the north, south, and west gates of Wind Valley Sand City at the same time.
It was not only the soldiers who narrowly broke through the southern gate and rescued only a small part.
Gongchen Ya naturally didn't know Mo Ye's plan in his heart, he just saw this situation, and he wanted to kill Mo Ye and these Ye troops together.
He was busy until the shift changed, and without making eye contact with anyone, he quickly returned to the deserted mansion.
At first glance, they were shocked when they saw him dressed as a soldier and rush into the room familiarly, until he spoke and shouted "Aunt Mei, Cypress", and then the anxious people hurriedly gathered around him and asked him about the situation.
"How's it going? Did you hear the situation? Aunt May grabbed him by the arm.
Gongchen Ya patted the back of her cold hand, and said heavily: "Sima Moye deceived Yu Wensheng, he used a fake intention to deceive the other party, but he was exposed on the spot, yes, the three-day period has been advanced, before noon today, if Yu Wensheng's wife has not appeared, he will set fire to the city." β
Everyone was shocked, they had been hoping that things would go smoothly for the release of Wind Valley Sand City, but they didn't expect it to turn out like this.
"Didn't show up? That woman, isn't it at all? Xiao Meng pushed aside the crowd and said urgently: "Then what should we do now?" Will Sima Moye hand over people? β
"My concern now is that he may not have any hostages at all."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed greatly.
This is just a suspicion, but to be honest, along the way, Gongchen Ya is really seriously analyzing the things before and after, so he thinks that this speculation is extremely likely.
"So, before Yu Wensheng sets fire to the city, we must first find a way to rescue General Yang and then get out of the city."
Wanting to save the people of the whole city is undoubtedly a fool's dream, but if it is one person, there may be a glimmer of hope.
"Okay, it's all up to you, you say, what are we supposed to do?"
Gongchen Cliff beckoned, after going out, he also learned some things, so he took a step closer to the plan he had set earlier: "You all come here......"
After some careful discussion, the time to start was set at the time of the rooster's crow, the moment when a person was most sleepy and unguarded.
ββ
"Don't cry, it's been a night, you're still crying!"
A rude roar woke up the unconscious Zheng Quqi.
She opened her eyes, but she was staring in a daze, and for a moment she didn't know where she was.
It was blue and white, but it was dark, and she blinked her eyes, she recalled for a moment, and then her eyes widened: "Military doctor!" β
She turned her head, looked to the left and right, but didn't see the person who had attacked her.
That thin old man, she really didn't expect that her hands would be so strong.
Rising from the cold ground, she found herself collapsed in a narrow alleyway, flanked by the courtyard walls of the house.
The military doctor, who had been missing for many days, why did she stun her after appearing, and why did she wake up alone in such a place?
Through a low wall seventy or eighty centimeters high, she heard people crying and scolding people in the room, men, women, and children.
Where is this?
Unable to figure out the reason why the other party did this, Zheng Quqi pinched his sore neck, and was about to walk out of the alley, but he heard a sharp female voice suddenly erupt in the room.
"What's wrong? Can't I cry if I want to? Isn't this just crying in advance? Listen, look, Ye Jun is about to set fire to the city, and our family is going to die here today! β
"Y-what's the use of you crying like this! Disturbing people's mood and destroying people's will, what use are you except crying? β
"Yes, it's useless for me, but what did he do with the useful Sima? Using a fake woman to gamble on the lives of our people in the city, and now he loses, he is comfortable and escapes, but what about us, our children, but we are going to die innocently, why do you think he provokes the living Yama of Ye Kingdom......"
At this moment, Zheng Quqi, who was listening to everything clearly, was frozen in place, cold as an ice cellar.
ThisγThis is Wind Valley Sand City?!
No way.
Impossible.
"Can you understand that the woman says that men always have rules for their actions?"
"Hahahaha...... It's ridiculous, if he doesn't ask for his life for the people, he will be a minister in vain! β
The couple argued endlessly, and the children cried incessantly, but Zheng Quqi had a look of disbelief in evil, and ran out of the alley in one breath and came to the spacious and unmanned street.
She looked around blankly, and finally saw where she was.
