In the face of the impending changes, Jiang Qi increased the protection of the dock fort in the next ten days, and even began to deploy defenses outside the city after the city wall was reinforced.

Jiangjiawu Fort is rectangular as a whole, open a door before and after, after more than ten days of reinforcement, the city wall has been heightened to three zhang, one zhang thick, arrow buttresses, female walls, horse faces are readily available. In addition, on the basis of the original castle tower, each corner of the city wall is added with arrow towers and lookout towers to facilitate the observation of the enemy.

Jiang Qi, who has studied art with Zuo Ci in Tianzhu Mountain since he was a child, is already familiar with how to arrange organs and formations. Just in case, this time in the deployment outside the city, Jiang Qi decided to use the most complex 'Qimen Bagua Array'.

The formation is arranged according to the Fuxi Bagua, with the dock fort as the center into a circular phalanx, which is in the formation within a mile, which can be said to be connected to the official road and then by the valley. The Bagua Array was made of stones, and in order to arrange the formation, the houses that had been attached to the dock fort were also demolished by Jiang Qi.

Fortunately, although there was a loss of houses, they were all clansmen, and those clansmen have now either entered Luoyang City or Wubao, and there is no obstruction. It took Jiang Qi nearly half a month to complete the entire formation.

As soon as the formation was over, the dock fort seemed to be covered with thick armor, and it was even more impregnable. After the formation was completed, Zhang Fei, who was a little untrustworthy that a few rotten stones could block the army, decided to test it. As a result, he was tragically trapped in the formation for a day and a night, if it weren't for the kind-hearted Zhou Yu standing on the watchtower and directing him to break the formation, I don't know how long he would have to suffer.

Of course, Jiang Qi can come out of the formation, except for the command of the Wubao people, the only way is to move the stones in the formation. As for moving stones, the mechanism designed in that array will cause the destroyer to lose a layer of skin.

In addition, the formation outside the Wubao also seems to have a big and obvious flaw, it is a straight road three feet wide opposite the gate of the dock fort, this flaw Jiang Qi is a passage left for the cavalry to attack, the brave Jiang Qi is not the kind of person who is passively beaten.

Of course, in addition to being a flaw, this straight road is also a trap, and now behind the wall battlements of the straight road, Jiang Qi has placed more than thirty bed crossbows bought at a high price in the city tower.

The bed crossbow that can fire three arrows at a time is not vegetarian, the crossbow arrow that looks like a child's arm is the sharpest scythe of death, and as long as the enemy dares to come, it will only leave a mutilated corpse.

After all the defenses were in place, Jiang Qi was sure that the besiegers would not pay the price of 10,000 people, and they would definitely not even want to touch the tower of the Dock Fort. It can even be said that today's Wubao may as well give more defense than the capital Luoyang.

Looking at the impregnable defense, the people in the city breathed a sigh of relief, and now in addition to the daily routine patrols, all the personnel in the dock fort began to live a normal life after more than 20 days of labor training.

Of course, that peaceful time was only for ordinary clansmen, Jiang Qi now except for some time to rest when eating and sleeping, the rest is basically taking Zhou Yu and Jiang Cheng to visit the terrain outside Wubao for a hundred miles.

is also busy, so that Jiang Qi ignores the love that has never appeared. Because there were too many things and the city was relatively safe, Jiang Qi didn't pay attention to Cai Yan's reply, so he missed the last chance.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

Three days after Emperor Liu Hong returned to Luoyang, the court held the first great court, and thousands of officials and princes in Luoyang who had official positions and food were all involved in the court meeting.

In a small courtyard in the north of Luoyang City, all the people who came in and out were wearing Taoist robes with yellow scarves on their heads, and one of them was wearing a yellow scarf on the road, nodding all the way and saluting to the Taoist chief who passed by, which looked similar to the turtle grandson.

However, after leaving the courtyard gate and turning into an alley, his smiling face suddenly became cold. Came to the end of the alley, stayed for a long time and saw that no one was following him, he whistled, and in the blink of an eye, a black shadow jumped out from the courtyard wall on the side, and the black shadow saluted the trail: "Brother Eleven、、、、、"

"What does the lord command?" Xiaodao asked after returning the salute.

"The lord ordered that the action to arrest Tang Zhou tonight must be foolproof, and Taiping Dao must not be suspicious. The fifth team of the younger brother will cooperate with the action, and the lord will tell him to convey that except for the withdrawal of the second team you are in, the other three teams will continue to lurk, and the lord will ask for the materials collected by Taiping Road. The visitor whispered.

"Yes, but the supplies are too scattered, and we may not have enough manpower." Xiaodao said after hearing this.

"Rest assured that the person who will be confiscated by that time is Luoyang Ling, and the lord has already agreed with him that as long as the ginger flag is hung at the gate of the courtyard, it will be fine, and we just need to solve the disciples in the courtyard."

"Please rest assured, the little one will not fail in his mission." After listening to the order, Xiaodao answered and quietly left.

When he walked back to the courtyard, Xiaodao's cold face returned to a dog-like smile, and this person was Jiang Renhe, codenamed Eleventh in the Sword Battalion sent by Jiang Qi.

The task of the second team he was in was to break into the side of Tang Zhou, the envoy of Guangzong, and soon Jiang Renhe, who returned to the courtyard, conveyed Jiang Qi's order, just waiting for dark, and an ordinary night would become the turning point of the towering man.

When night fell, Tang Zhou, who was cultivating with a female cultist in his arms, had not yet reacted, and was suddenly tied up tightly by two warriors in black armor, and then he was knocked unconscious as soon as it was dark in front of him.

The female believer who saw this scene just wanted to scream, but before she could make a sound, her neck was broken.

"How?" The samurai opened the door and asked as he looked at the two guards lying outside the door and asked the similarly dressed robes.

"Everything is going well, all the guards around the courtyard have been resolved, and the twelfth brother has already driven the carriage to the back door." A samurai who had come up returned to the road.

Hearing the answer, the samurai's jaw head agreed, "Okay, retreat." ”

Soon, a group of five escorted a samurai carrying a sack in the middle out of the door and stepped into the carriage that had been prepared long ago. The flying flags of the Yue cavalry camp on the carriage, although there was a curfew, could still be unimpeded.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

"Poof、、、" A basin of cold water was splashed on Tang Zhou, who was unconscious on the ground, and was splashed by the cold water, Tang Zhou woke up with a shake.

After waking up, Tang Zhou touched his aching neck and got up from the ground, and by the light of the candle, he found that there was a middle-aged man in a Han official uniform and a handsome son sitting in front of him.

Seeing Tang Zhou wake up, Jiang Qi motioned to the guards behind him and threw Tang Zhou a robe. Although he knew in his heart that he was afraid that he would be lucky today, Tang Zhou, who was shivering with cold all over his body, still put on his clothes in twos and threes.

While wearing clothes, Tang Zhou guessed in his heart whether his deeds were revealed, but then he vetoed it after thinking about it, if it was true, it would not be a battle today.

After settling his mind, Tang Zhou said to Zhou Yi: "I don't know why Zhou Luoyang is so lawless and careless, I am a member of the sect, and I also have many friends in the court, so I am not afraid of impeachment!?" ”

"Okay, we already know the situation very clearly, you don't have to force your words, everyone understands your mission to Luoyang, now give you a chance to live, you think clearly about whether to cooperate with the imperial court, or make trouble with your division." Without waiting for Zhou Yi to speak to him, Jiang Qi didn't give him time to talk nonsense and said immediately.

is so straightforward, Jiang Qi knows that if Tang Zhou's residence is terminated, if the time is delayed for too long, it is inevitable that there will be incidents.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Poor Dao doesn't know what the donor said?" Tang Zhou still had a lot of stirring in his heart after hearing Jiang Qi's words, but he was not moved by three or two sentences.

"Haha, very good, since you don't know, I'll tell you, say, trouble uncle!" Seeing that Tang Zhou didn't shed tears when he didn't see the coffin, Jiang Qi smiled and said to Zhou Yi.

"Willing to serve," Zhou Yi said with a smile, unfolding a roll of bamboo slips and saying slowly: "This official will talk about the materials that this Taiping Dao has hoarded all over Luoyang and the people Your Excellency has seen!" In the north of Luoyang City, there are thousands of sets of armor, 3,000 swords, 500 bows and crossbows, and 10,000 stones of grain and grass. There is a small courtyard two streets apart next to it, which hides 50,000 stone of grain, and a three-entry courtyard in the east of the city hides 、、、、、、、"

"Five days ago, you entered the North Palace and gave Feng Xu gold 3,000, and three days ago you gave Xu Fengjin 2,000, and in the future, the two of you will send you 300 war horses, 1,000 sets 、、、、、、of armor, and 3,000 weapons."

Facing Zhou Yi said unhurriedly, listening to Tang Zhou's face becoming more and more pale, and then he sat directly on the ground weakly, seeing this scene, Jiang Qi answered and asked: "I don't know if what Luoyang Ling said is wrong?" ”

"No, no, better than I remember." Seeing that the matter was revealed, Tang Zhou said weakly: "What do you want me to do、、、、

"The Taoist is a wise man, and he should know how to do it." Jiang Qi said with a smile.

"That's it!" Tang Zhou sighed: "It's also a villain's greed for a while, listen to Zhang Jiao's words, now that the matter is revealed, it may be a good thing, I will inevitably die here, can the adult take care of Zhou's family." ”

"I will take your whole family to Yizhou, and keep you safe after everything is done." Jiang Qi agreed.

"Your Excellency is conditional, right?" The intelligent Tang Zhou was shocked when he heard this, even if he knew what Jiang Qi was planning.

"Haha, if he hadn't committed such a sin, Er's wisdom might have done something. Yes, I want you not to give an account of where the material is placed. Jiang Qi said with some appreciation.

"Good means, good! Zhou promised, but please keep your promise. Hearing Jiang Qi's words, Tang Zhou woke up like a dream, and it turned out that all he did was to make wedding dresses for others.

Understanding everything clearly, Tang Zhou unconsciously looked at Jiang Qi's eyes that were as deep as a deep spring. After a while, he couldn't help but be a little frightened, and then he wanted to know what kind of person the young master in front of him was, he actually had such a scheming at a young age, and asked curiously: "Can you tell me your name?" ”

"Aren't you afraid that your whole family will be wiped out if you find out?" Jiang Qi said with a smile.

"Isn't my family still in the hands of adults?" Tang Zhou smiled indifferently, and then said: "The villain just wants to know who is defeated. ”

"A certain family surname is Jiang," Jiang Qi said with a smile.

"But Luoyang Jiang's family!" Tang Zhou's eyes rolled and he immediately understood, and then said: "I didn't think that Gongzi was not only outstanding in learning, but also had such an opinion, Zhou Xin was convinced. ”

Seeing Tang Zhou being escorted out by several warriors, Zhou Yi looked at Jiang Qi and said, "This person has some talents, doesn't Bo Xiao have the heart to use it for his own use?" ”

"Since this person can betray his master, won't he betray me?" Jiang Qi shook his head and vetoed.

"Then Boxiao still spared this person's life?" Zhou Yi asked.

"The eldest husband should keep his promise when he is alive, and since he has promised him, he will not regret it, but he cannot be given freedom during this time." Jiang Qi replied.

"Then Uncle Wei won't say much, I'll take this person to meet Lord Yin tomorrow morning、、、、、"

"It's up to my uncle."

"What about the supplies?" Deciding Tang Zhou's fate, Zhou Yi put away his smile and looked at Jiang Qi solemnly.

"If the Taiping rebellion is not handled properly, it will definitely be a catastrophe for our Han Dynasty, so many people who have fled will flock to Gyeonggi, and the imperial court will have to take care of itself at that time, and the supplies will come in handy." Jiang Qi said calmly.

"Uncle Wei didn't misunderstand Boxiao, it's a blessing for my big man to have you!" Originally, I thought that Jiang Qi was greedy for self-fattening, but he didn't think about it, but he planned it like this, and when Zhou Yi was satisfied with his jaw, he also improved his favor for Jiang Qi again.
