Ji Yunchen sneaked back to Dengzhou that night, but he didn't enter the city, so he asked someone to bring a message to Jiang Wanning, and he settled in Wangjiatun.

In the afternoon of the next day, Jiang Wanning asked Zheng Guan to bring him a note.

Tomorrow night, when the ugly, the north post road in the north of the city is in ambush, if the ugly is not coming, immediately evacuate from Dengzhou, and wait for me on the way to Yanzhou.

Ji Yunchen finished reading the content on the note, and twisted his eyebrows: "She has already figured out when the seven families will act?" ”

Zheng Guan said: "Jiang Niangzi got the news today, and the seven families successively transferred people from each Zhuangzi to go back, and estimated that they would start acting tomorrow night." ”

"Then why not tonight?"

"Jiang Niangzi said, because you don't want to travel today."

Ji Yunchen: Uh......

What is the strange reason for this?

"Mrs. Jiang inquired that the head of the Zhou family likes to pick auspicious days when doing things, and tomorrow is a good day."

"She's so sure they'll take the post road in the north of the city?"

"Your Highness, no matter whether the grain is to be transported to the Zhenbei military camp first or directly to Dayuan, Qilipu is the only way to go."

Ji Yunchen was skeptical of Jiang Wanning's inference, but he could only listen to Jiang Wanning for now.

Jiang Niangzi, I hope you are right.

"Do you know what else she has arranged?"

"The little one doesn't know the specific arrangement, but she muttered to Chen Song for a long time, and then Chen Song left, oh, by the way, Jiang Niangzi also said, I hope that after the incident, His Royal Highness the King of the County can arrange for Chen Song and them to enter the North Daying."

Ji Yunchen waved his hand: "It's all a trivial matter." ”

If Chen Song can really make a meritorious contribution in this matter.

The next night, the drum beat three times, and soon after, the west corner door of the Zhou family's mansion opened, and horse-drawn carts full of grain flowed out.

The long convoy, no one spoke, all wrapped up in their clothes, and walked silently with their necks bent.

The cold moon was bleak, and in the silent streets, there was only the sound of horses' hooves trampling and wheels rolling.

Suddenly, a faint incense came from the cold and biting night wind.

Everyone couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, wondering, where did the fragrance come from? At this time of year, only plum blossoms are in full bloom, but this incense does not smell like the fragrance of plum blossoms.

At this time, the horse also stopped, and lowered its head to sniff around the road.

"Let's go, why don't you go?"

The servant who drove the car tugged at the reins and whispered.

But the horse was not obedient at all, and was still sniffing around.

It was pitch black, there were no torches in the ranks, and everyone didn't know what was going on.

Then plop someone down.

Plop, plop...... One by one, they fell.

This...... What's going on?

The person who found out that the situation was not right didn't have time to shout twice, and he also fell.

After about half a cup of tea, a man with a masked face ran out of the darkness, stepped forward to check, made sure that everyone was stunned, and turned around and whistled.

A large number of people poured out of the darkness, and everyone used knives to cut open the bags containing grain, pulled all the grain into the cloth bags they had brought, filled it and left.

One group after another.

Everyone tacitly understands to stuffy food.

In less than a stick of incense, more than 20 truckloads of grain were emptied, leaving only broken cloth bags and scattered rice grains all over the ground.

At the same time, the same scene was playing out in seven locations in the city.

Ji Yunchen and the others, who were ambushed in Qilipu, looked in the direction of Yanzhou City, and their eyes were about to bleed.

"Jiuli, what time is it?"

"It's ugly, Your Highness, it's early for us to come."

Ji Yunchen rolled his eyes, feeling uneasy in his heart, afraid that Jiang Wanning's plan would go wrong.

Jiuli suddenly put his ear to the ground, listened for a while, and said, "Your Highness, someone is coming." ”

Ji Yunchen motioned for everyone to ambush.

After a while, I saw a group of people coming from the direction of the military camp in the north of the town.

The team stopped when they reached Qilipu.

With the help of the moonlight and shadows, Ji Yunchen estimated that there were about three hundred people.

Good guy, Jiang Wanning is really powerful, and the handover time and place are all right.

"Your Highness, there are only fifty of us." Jiuli reminded.

There is a huge disparity between the power of the enemy and the enemy, are you sure you want to act tonight?

They brought a lot of oil, and it should be no problem to burn the grain, but it is difficult to get out of the whole body.

Ji Yunchen's eyes were cold: "Act when the opportunity arises." ”

Time passed minute by minute, and there was still no movement in the direction of Dengzhou City.

The commander in charge of escorting the grain had a grim expression, and said in his heart: Why haven't you come yet?

Say it's ugly and hand over at two moments.

Because the matter was confidential, he only told his most trusted subordinates about it, and no one else knew about it.

I can only wait patiently, maybe it is dark and the road is difficult and delayed.

If it weren't for the fact that something happened to the commander of Duan a few days ago and the person was gone, otherwise such a confidential mission would not be his turn, and he would have to do this errand well, and from now on, he would be General Lu's confidant.

After another quarter of an hour, the commander couldn't help but ask the people around him, "What time is it?" ”

"Commander Yao, it's been three minutes of ugliness."

Commander Yao's face was dark, and the appointed time had passed. 7. What do you do? So much delay.

Commander Yao decided to wait another quarter of an hour, and if no one came, it would mean that something was wrong.

Ji Yunchen is stable, the people of the Zhenbei Army are here, he only needs to keep an eye on the Zhenbei Army.

I don't know what time they agreed on, but half an hour has passed.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, it was already the time for Jiang Wanning to retreat.

"Your Highness, it's time to withdraw."

Ji Yunchen was unwilling, and he hadn't seen the grain truck yet.

"Your Highness, it's time to withdraw, the grain truck won't appear here at this time, presumably it must be Jiang Niangzi's side that has succeeded." Jiuli reminded.

Ji Yunchen gritted his teeth: "Withdraw!" ”

He really couldn't think of any way Jiang Wanning used to stop this.

Commander Yao couldn't wait any longer, so he beckoned and whispered a few words to his henchmen, and his henchmen took a dozen people to the direction of Dengzhou City.

When they came to the city gate, they called the gate open, and when they inquired, no one had ever left the city after it had been locked.

They went straight to Zhou's house in the Seven Families, and when they reached the halfway point, they found a convoy parked on the road, and the grain on the more than 20 carriages was all gone, only the bags were broken, and the people carrying the grain were lying neatly on the side of the street.

Oops, the grain was looted.

The heads of the seven families were woken up in their sleep, and when they heard that the food had been robbed, they were completely sleepy and hurriedly got up.

When he came to the place of the incident and saw the empty grain truck, the head of the Zhou family almost fainted.

"Check, check for me, dig three feet into the ground and find out the people who want to grab food." The head of the Zhou family roared.

In the nursing home of the Zhou family, the family knocked on the door door from door to door, and asked all the nearby residents, but no one heard any movement at night.

And the servants who had fainted were woken up by the cold water with a dazed face.

Just say that I smell a puff of incense, and then I don't know anything.

Soon all the families got the news that the grain cart had been looted, and they all panicked.

This night is destined for many people to not sleep peacefully.

It's just that some people are angry and panicked, and some people are excited and a little nervous because their rice jars are full.

But the man said that as long as everyone insisted that the food was bought by themselves, it would be fine. Because they didn't leave any evidence.
