Chapter 127: Counterattack on the Palace
Six days later, June 24th.
In the early morning, three guests came to the handicraft street, an old man, two middle-aged people, the old man came alone, and the two middle-aged people were each followed by a group of family members.
The three of them glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and walked into different shops.
"Boss", "Boss", "Boss"
"I'll pick it up."
Fireworks shop, rice paper shop, winery, today, three guests picked up the goods at the same time.
Twelve carts of wine have long been prepared outside the winery.
Wu Qinghui was also waiting for the person who took the wine.
"Mr. Zhang."
The man surnamed Zhang saw the twelve carts of wine prepared, but his face was a little ugly.
"Boss Wu is indeed honest."
Immediately, he glanced at the family behind him, and the group of family members checked the twelve carts of wine one by one.
"I'm sorry Boss Wu, my master is a particular person, and we can only accept this product after verification."
Wu Qinghui sneered secretly, the other party must think that she couldn't make up twelve carts of wine.
"Naturally, Boss Zhang, please feel free."
At the same time, the old man walked into the rice paper shop, and Su Qinqin led him to the backyard.
"Sir, look."
But looking at the backyard, a burst of hazy sunlight shone on the old man's face, and the almost transparent rice paper seemed to cover the sun in the sky with a thin veil.
The breeze blew, and the surface of the rice paper, which was inexhaustible in length and width, undulated like ripples.
Su Qinqin used the entire backyard to hang this piece of rice paper, and at this moment they seemed to be shrouded in a translucent paper house.
"Good, good."
The old man nodded in satisfaction.
"But how do I take it?"
The old man asked.
At this time, the acceptance in front of the winery has also been completed.
A cronie walked up to the man surnamed Zhang and said in his ear
"It was indeed the car full of wine that was stolen."
The man surnamed Zhang looked very ugly and said in a low voice
"Whatever they find, find a way to keep it shut! Be quick! ”
In an instant, he had a smile on his face again.
"Okay, Boss Wu is a trustworthy person."
Happily handed Wu Qinghui a silver ticket.
"This matter is done properly, Boss Wu, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate more in the future."
On the other side, in the fireworks shop.
"Where's your boss?"
The middle-aged man walked into the shop, but only saw Xiao Zhong alone.
Xiao Zhong saw that the man was dressed up, as if he was from the government, so he remembered that he went to the quarry that day, and the steward hinted to him that behind the purchase of fireworks, it was the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Industry.
"Guest, my master is not here, you are here to fetch fireworks."
The middle-aged man didn't seem to care, and saw that the wall next to him was already full of fireworks.
"Whatever, whatever, are things ready?"
Xiao Zhong led the middle-aged man to take inventory.
"Well, it's a good number, carry it away."
A large number of people walked in outside, almost all of them filled with small fireworks shops, and began to busily move goods.
Xuan paper shop, Su Qinqin said with a smile
"Sir, don't worry."
She grabbed a corner of the rice paper and waved it vigorously, the elegant smell filled the backyard, and the rice paper seemed to be alive, rippling with white waves.
Then, under the old man's surprised gaze, Su Qinqin formed the rice paper into a ball.
"No!"
The old man exclaimed.
Su Qinqin smiled and handed the huge paper ball to the old man.
"Don't worry, the rice paper I make will not be wrinkled."
Unfold a corner at random, but see that the rice paper is really smooth as new, without any wrinkles.
The old man was overjoyed.
"Shopkeeper Su is really the first-class skillful hand in the capital."
After Su Qinqin sent the old man away, she saw that Wu Qinghui and Xiao Zhong also sent off the guests, and the three of them glanced at each other and went back.
At noon, the city lord's mansion.
Today, the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion is crowded with people, and all the officials are there.
Hundreds of officials kowtowed, and in the courtyard, the saint and the emperor sat in front.
In the hand of the saint, he held a yellow list and was furious.
"The king of that prime minister was bold, knowing that the two saints were saved, not only did he not accept the two saints back to the palace, but also posted the emperor's list to announce to the world that he would hold an enthronement celebration tomorrow, which is really a wolf's ambition......"
Ruan Chengdong, the secretary of the military department, knelt on the ground and cursed the king of the prime minister, and the rest of the Shangshu around him also echoed him.
"Ruan Shangshu."
After a long time, the Emperor interrupted Ruan Chengdong, who was talking.
"How many more men can be mobilized by the military department now?"
Ruan Chengdong is stagnant, his new official is basically a light general, although the predecessor Fu Pingsheng is dead, but Yu Wei is still there, where can he be moved, but he naturally can't say that.
"Sage, it's hateful, that Taiyang Mansion Pei Wei actually betrayed the two saints and sent people to blockade the capital, and my military department couldn't leave the capital at all, but I have a hundred thousand troops, but I can only watch dryly, then Pei Wei really deserves to die!"
The Human Emperor stroked his forehead and waved his hand irritably.
Several Shangshu on the side secretly admired in their hearts, this Ruan Shangshu is regarded as an official, and at this time, he is still looking for someone to take the blame.
"General Kuang."
The Human Emperor looked at Kuang Zhang on the side.
"Do you still have any men available?"
Kuang Zhang stood up, looked at the waste with disdain, and replied briefly.
"Yes!"
The Emperor's eyes lit up.
"How many?"
Kuang Zhang said
"There are 500 personal soldiers in the house, and everywhere in the city, if it is called, more than 3,000 veterans are all cronies who have been fighting with me for half their lives."
"Three thousand five? How many people are there in the Xiangwang Chuanfeng camp? ”
Chang Sheng, who was standing on the side, said
"According to the news from friends in the rivers and lakes, there should be more than 20,000."
When the officials heard this, they were silent, and some people's eyes flickered, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Three thousand five against twenty thousand, General Kuang, what are the chances of winning?"
The emperor looked at Kuang Zhang with concern.
Kuang Zhang did not hesitate for a moment, and replied directly.
"If you add the hundreds of friends of the city lord in the capital, the odds of winning can reach thirty percent."
The hope that had just risen in the second saint was extinguished again.
"Is it only 30%?"
At this time, Yan Sihai sneered
"Sancheng is good, this is still General Kuang, change it to other wine bags and rice bags, I'm afraid I will surrender directly."
After speaking, he also glanced at the Shangshu lords lying on the ground.
At this time, another person ran in from outside the courtyard.
It was Qin Wuyi.
"Saint!"
The Human Emperor was pleasantly surprised when he saw that Qin Wuyi was still alive
"Guards Qin, is Commander Pang still alive?"
Qin Wuyi was dressed in armor and in good spirits, and said in a high-pitched voice.
"Qi Qi two saints, the great commander is not only alive, but now he has stepped into the realm of the grandmaster, the great commander learned that the two saints were saved, let me come to report, he is hidden in the palace, he can be combined with the outside of the palace, and if necessary, capture the king at any time!"
"Good!"
When the Emperor heard this, he stood up directly excitedly and clapped his hands
"General Kuang, what are the odds now?"
When Kuang Zhang heard this, he frowned slightly
"If there are no accidents, there is a seventy percent chance of winning!"
The Emperor of the People's brows suddenly relaxed, and his joy was overflowing.
"Okay, then tonight, let's leave the palace and capture the thieves!"
The hundred officials were also encouraged and shouted in unison
"Capture the thief and welcome the two saints back to the court!"
Seeing that everyone was full of confidence, Chang Sheng never let go of his heart.
This group of people went from being at a loss before, to now having a chance to win, but in a moment, between the ups and downs, everyone seemed to have lost their minds.
It's really weird that this Qin Wuyi can enter and leave the palace at will, the king doesn't seem to care about Qin Wuyi's ventilation at all, and besides, the king of Xiang has controlled the palace for so many days, and there is no movement, but today he suddenly announced that the world will hold an enthronement ceremony, and his actions are almost illogical, which really makes Chang Sheng's heart uneasy.
But it was impossible for her to say all this, this was the time when the popularity of this group of people was at its peak, and it was really pointless to say such words of pouring cold water.
Night.
The moon hung high, and the moonlight shone onto the street.
More than a dozen men in black ran quickly down the street, each holding a bundle of straw in their hands.
"This is it!"
They stopped in front of Wu Qinghui's winery.
As the first person, with a wave of his big hand, everyone scattered, surrounding the winery, covered with straw.
Then, the leader took out the fire fold and threw it on top of the straw.
"Whew!"
The fire roared, and in an instant, the winery was engulfed in a sea of fire, and then in a very short time, the fire actually opened up again, and the fire outside ignited the wine in the winery, which was like a tiger with wings.
Occasionally, there is a sound of explosion.
The group of men in black sneered as they watched the fire engulfing the winery like a beast.
"Mission accomplished."
"No, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death."
"Bang!"
Suddenly, an explosion came from inside the winery.
"What's going on?"
The leader looked at his men.
But seeing that his subordinates all shook their heads, they set a fire, how could it explode.
"Boom!"
With that explosion, the entire winery collapsed, and the loud noise also alarmed the rest of the people on the street, who came out of the door to check it out.
When the chief saw that there was a lot of commotion, he said
"With such a loud explosion, she estimated that it was blown to ashes, and it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, evacuate!"
The men in black scattered.
"It's on fire! It's on fire! Help! ”
The people of the neighborhood shouted loudly.
In the tunnels.
Su Qinqin and the others were holding torches and were marching, when they faintly heard an explosion from above.
"Or Qinqin is smart, knowing that Qinghui handed over the wine, that group of people will inevitably think that we have found something, and let Xiao Zhong bury some gunpowder in the winery in advance, as long as those people try to destroy the corpse, they will detonate the gunpowder and alarm the people, and those people will definitely not stay longer in a hurry, just when Qinghui is dead."
Liu Niangzi laughed twice and patted Xiao Zhong's shoulder.
Xiao Zhong scratched his head and smirked
"Hehe, I'm going to make this kind of stuff too."
Wu Qinghui had a bitter face.
"My winery is gone."
"Alright, your twelve carts of wine business are enough for you to buy two wineries."
Su Qinqin comforted.
"Knock knock!"
The husband rang the sound of the son.
Outside the city lord's mansion, 3,500 soldiers held torches high and were ready to go.
In the center of the army, the gold and silver chariot with six horses is blessed, and the emperor and the emperor sit on it, and the gold and silver chariot is accompanied by hundreds of officials.
Kuang Zhang rode a horse in front of the battle, wearing golden armor, holding a black iron spear, his face was like a flat lake, but he saw him swing his spear and pointed to the palace from afar.
"The Second Saint Returns to the Palace"
Then there was thunder on the ground, and the roar of 3,500 soldiers shook the sky.
Almost at the same time, in the palace in the distance, there was a sudden burst of fire.
"Let's go out of the water!"
Liuyun Palace, Chonghua Gate, Taiping Fang, Yiyu Palace......
Dozens of large and small palaces in all directions in the palace city actually caught fire at the same time, and the flames raged, easily engulfing a series of houses, and in an instant, the palace was in chaos.
The troops on Taiyang Road were overjoyed when they saw this.
"Good! Commander Pang is very clever in this plan! ”
Next to the gold and silver, the officials clapped their hands and applauded, and the two saints were also overjoyed.
"Let's go!"
Kuang Zhang shouted, the army pulled out, and a fire dragon meandered upward, smashing the palace.
On Twelfth Street, hundreds of dark shadows staggered across the rooftops, staggering between the buildings, not as uniform as the army, but moving extremely fast.
Soon, hundreds of black shadows scattered in the night sky, and a team of 100 people rushed to the gates of the palace.
Lead the army and fight into the palace.
"Boom!"
At a palace gate, dozens of masters joined forces to blow the heavy palace gate open.
Then, only a voice came from inside the door, "Enemy attack!" In an instant, he was drowned in the shouts of killing.
Inside the palace gate, a 3,000-strong Chuanfeng battalion has been guarding here.
When the general saw that the person who came was actually from the rivers and lakes, his face changed, but he was not very surprised, and beside him, a herald released an arrow.
"Whew!" "Smack!"
In an instant, arrows rang out from all over the palace in response.
"Humph! Dirt chicken tile dog, follow me to kill! ”
With a shout, the three thousand troops formed a phalanx, like a stormy wave, surging towards the hundred people, and the hundred people were instantly drowned in the storm.
As soon as the two sides fought, severed limbs flew into the air, staining the night red with blood.
"Whoosh!"
As soon as the two sides first clashed, more than a dozen cold arrows were shot in front of the palace gate, and in the chaos of the army, several officers and soldiers were directly shot.
