Chapter 197: Artificial Lightning
In the mountain temple, Jin Dajian was busy in the house with a few helpers.
Because of the rain, I can't do the work outside, but I can do the work inside first.
Xu Boan didn't have time to pay attention to them, and immediately chose the bubble that appeared in front of him.
The next moment, Xu Bo'an's eyes were the scene in Shanyang City.
It was still the open-air statue of the city god as the starting point, Xu Bo'an suddenly raised his perspective and had a bird's-eye view of the situation in the entire county.
Soon, Xu Bo'an's attention was focused on the city wall.
There, several familiar figures were arguing about something.
As Xu Bo'an's attention focused, the voices of several people gradually became clear.
"We must take the initiative and find an opportunity to find a way to save Lord Wang." Mahan said anxiously.
Yan Shouyi on the side also nodded and agreed: "Yes, Lord Guo, you just let us out!" β
That Master Guo was not wearing armor, but he was also wearing a military attachΓ© robe, with a trace of impatience in his face, and said, "I didn't say that I wouldn't save it, but now is not the time." β
This man's robe was a little ill-fitting, and it was a little loose on his body, which looked a little funny.
When Ma Han heard this, he hurriedly asked, "When is the time?" If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will ......"
Master Guo didn't wait for Ma Han to finish speaking, then interrupted him and scolded: "Bastard, it's not your turn to question me." What are you! β
Ma Han was also in the mood for everyone, and when he was shouted by Lord Guo, he was immediately angry, and he was about to argue with reason, when he saw Yan Shouyi pulling him by the side, and then said to Lord Guo flatteringly: "Lord Guo, don't be like him, he is also worried about Lord Wang." β
"Hmph, what's the matter with who you're worried about? I'm also the general manager of the Dajing Armed Forces, when did even these unknown cats and dogs dare to question me. Lord Guo's tone was very arrogant, and his eyes looked at Ma Han with disdain, and his face was full of disdain.
Obviously, the title of a cat and a dog is for him.
Yan Shou showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, after all, according to Master Guo, nine times out of ten, he underestimated himself.
But at the moment, he is also the supreme leader of the local personnel in Shanyang City, and what he should say can really only be said by himself.
Yan Shou arched his hand, squeezed out a smile and said, "Lord Guo is angry. Then, in your opinion, when is it more appropriate for us to save the dynasty? β
Master Guo snorted coldly and said, "Let's wait for now, we should wait and see what happens." β
Yan Shou looked embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do.
After all, the official level crushed people to death, and Lord Guo was one of the three thousand deputies of the Aoki Banner of Aoki Mansion, that is, the deputy thousand presidents.
Strictly speaking, it is the top boss of Shanyang Ling's strict observance of the Eight Classics.
Even if Yan Shouyi is dissatisfied, how dare he argue with Lord Guo under the rules and system that obeying orders is his duty.
However, Ma Han on the side couldn't help it, and immediately shouted: "It's a good one to wait and see, I dare to ask for the hundreds of brothers who stayed in Shanyang City, dare to ask Lord Guo, then when will we wait?" β
Ma Han's voice was very loud, attracting the attention of the soldiers guarding on the side, and immediately, the eyes of many soldiers were staring at Lord Guo tightly, and their eyes were full of expectation.
Obviously, these people were very concerned about the life and death of the dynasty.
Strictly speaking, these people are not considered serious soldiers, except for a small part of the Shanyang Order and a part of the team of the Aoki Banner of Aoki Mansion brought by Lord Guo, most of them are the people recruited by the previous dynasty in Shanyang City.
To this day, in addition to the free food, these people have not even received the first month's military salary!
And if it weren't for the fact that the dynasty took the initiative to take responsibility and lead the people to resist after the leaders of the former county Zun and the county Cheng of Shanyang City escaped, these people and their families would definitely be dead.
Therefore, these people attach great importance to the life and death of the dynasty.
Instead of promoting allegiance to Emperor Dajing here, it is better to say that allegiance to the dynasty is real.
Seeing everyone's eyes, Lord Guo's heart was flustered.
In the current tense situation, if you provoke public anger, it is a big trouble.
If nothing else is said, let's just say that if you arouse the disgust of these soldiers, and turn around and don't listen to the command to effectively resist, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect my position as the general manager.
After all, as one of the thousands of presidents in Aoki Prefecture, he made a military order when he came.
Considering these problems, Master Guo glared at Ma Han dissatisfiedly, but he didn't get angry with Ma Han again after all, but he said coldly with a bad attitude: "I'm not a fortune teller, how can I calculate when it's appropriate, in short, we have to wait for the right opportunity." β
Ma Han clenched his fists and asked, "What if you haven't waited for the right opportunity?" We don't care if the dynasty is alive or dead? Shanyang City was able to defend it before, but it was all the credit of the dynasty. β
Lord Guo gritted his teeth and said: "Hmph, credit is credit, no one denies his credit, but now the situation is special, in order to save him, is it possible to ask me to go out and send hundreds of athletes to death?" β
As he spoke, Master Guo glanced around a few times from the corner of his eye.
Originally, he said this to win over the hearts of the people, but he never thought that after saying it, it didn't have much effect.
Most of the soldiers remained unchanged, apparently waiting to continue the topic of rescuing the dynasty.
Ma Han said word by word: "Naturally, I don't dare to bother the brothers, I just ask Lord Guo to agree, I am willing to be the first to take the lead, and the brothers who are willing to go to the rescue of the Dynasty Lord, touch the enemy camp to rescue the Dynasty Lord." β
Without waiting for Master Guo to speak, he heard Li Qingshi, who was not far away, shouting, "Count me in!" β
Li Qingshi was not far from a few people, and was kneeling and worshipping beside an incense burner placed there.
Hearing this, Mahan's voice said that he wanted to save the dynasty, so he immediately raised his hand to sign up.
Master Guo glanced at Li Qingshi coldly, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Li Qingshi, but looked at Ma Han disdainfully and said, "Hmph, just rely on you?" Do you know that those people on the other side are the most elite team of my Aoki Banner, if you want to send them to death, just go, don't pull others anymore. β
Ma Han said with a cold face: "Lord Guo! I don't care if it's an elite or a straw bale, in short, I've made up my mind. I just want peace of mind, and I also ask Lord Guo to be kind and let me and your brothers go out. β
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard several soldiers standing on the edge of the city wall shouting in their own words.
"They're here again."
"Lord Wang is also there."
"These people are calling for battle again."
Mahan and the others immediately took two quick steps and looked under the city wall.
Xu Boan also shifted his attention.
Outside the city gates, the soldiers seemed to be impatient.
In the past few days, he and others have besieged Shanyang City here, not only failed to take Shanyang City, but also let these people wait for reinforcements.
At present, the other brothers who have risen together have improved, and their own team has not even taken down a small county town.
"The people above have listened to me. If I don't tie my hands and get out of the city gate, I will cut off the old man of the dynasty under my horse. β
At this moment, at the front of the enemy formation, the dynasty was tied with his hands, and his head and hands were locked in a shackle, looking extremely embarrassed.
The image of a middle-aged man who was originally handsome and temperamental has now become a sloppy image with messy and gray hair.
The originally tall body also involuntarily hunched down.
It seems that in the past few days, the dynasty has really suffered a lot.
On the city tower, the biggest official position now is this Lord Guo.
This Lord Guo's name is Guo Jinglong, and he is currently serving as the deputy general manager of Aoki Banner in Aoki Prefecture.
His father was the deputy commander of the Qingyun Army of Qingyun Dao, and he was a well-known big man in the entire Qingyun Dao.
Guo Jinglong failed many attempts and failed to achieve any fame, so he became a monk halfway before entering the ranks.
With such a halfway monk's behavior, you can get into the position of vice president in just ten years, and anyone with a discerning eye knows what's going on.
Previously, Yan Shouyi took Li Qingshi, Ma Han and others to defend Shanyang City, and originally thought that he would be relieved when reinforcements came.
Who knew that the one who came to support was actually the famous scholar Guo Jinglong!
Originally, everyone thought that this was a winning situation between the front and back, but who knew that after Guo Jinglong's gang arrived outside the camp of the besieging and chaotic army under the city, he politely prepared a letter of surrender and exoneration, and read it out in front of the battle, trying to influence those people without blood.
After Yan Shouyi in the city later learned about Guo Jinglong's riotous operation, he couldn't believe it, and thought he had heard it wrong.
Since the other party has bad intentions and bad intentions, and has already begun to besiege the city, who will believe the nonsense of exoneration?
And once this fighter is delayed, it will not be so easy to wait for the right opportunity.
Yan Shouyi and the others watched on the city wall as the enemy fought with the team brought by Guo Jinglong.
In the end, Guo Jinglong and others were tired of coping and could not resist.
Yan Shouyi was helpless, he couldn't watch Guo Jinglong die here, he led the crowd out of the city at the moment, and rushed out of a hole under the siege of the other party, so that Guo Jinglong and the rest of the remnants were brought back to Shanyang City.
Thanks to the elevating elixir and jade dew in the Qiankun glass cover left by the mountain god's grandfather before, the brothers were able to scream and kill.
It's just that in this way, not only did there be no good opportunity for the inside and outside to fight before and after, but even half of the reinforcements were lost outside, and all the grain and grass brought were robbed by others.
If it weren't for Yan Shouyi knowing that Guo Jinglong was upright, I am afraid that Guo Jinglong would have thought that Guo Jinglong was the traitor of these enemies.
Where is this here to support Shanyang City, obviously to send supplies to the besieging enemy, by the way, I still want to mix up the battle merits!
How can this grandson's military exploits not be mixed, if it weren't for Yan Shouyi and others desperately saving each other, he is afraid that he will have to pass the death day on this day next year.
Although the person who lost his armor was very faceless, and he had to borrow other people's clothes to wear when he came back, he managed to save his life!
It stands to reason that Guo Jinglong should be grateful for such a great kindness and reciprocation for a lifetime.
But it's such a kindness, this guy doesn't even know how to be grateful!
On the contrary, because of this battle, he was frightened, and he cowered in the city and refused to attack and quell the chaos, and did not let Yan Shouyi and others go out, for fear that some more people would be damaged, and there would be fewer people defending the city, and he would not be able to wait for the opportunity to come to the second batch of reinforcements.
Of course, Yan Shouyi also knew that since Guo Jinglong was trapped here, there would still be reinforcements nine times out of ten.
After all, his father is the boss of the Qingyun Army, and he will never watch his descendants trapped here and survive.
It's just that he can wait, and the dynasty can't wait.
It was also during this sortie that they got the news from the captured enemy captives, and Yan Shouyi and the others learned that the dynasty had not been sent to Aoki Mansion by these people to be imprisoned.
Instead, he was directly locked up in the camp, coercing and tempting in the hope that he would turn back.
But what they didn't expect was that the dynasty was a hard bone, and he never agreed to the other party's conditions and refused to rebel against the court of the Dajing Dynasty.
No, seeing that Shanyang City has been replenished with some defenders of the city, these enemies besieging the city are impatient, so they simply launched a dynasty to threaten the defenders of the city.
"Listen to the people above, look at it, this is your king. If you don't want him to lose his other leg, just open the gates for me!" β
"I repeat, if you don't want to let ......"
Li Qingshi looked at the city with wide eyes, and the dynasty limped under the scolding of the soldiers.
That leg was when he was scolding yesterday, no one on the city wall responded, and the other party broke one of the legs of the dynasty.
"Lord Guo, you ......"
As soon as Yan Shou spoke, he was rudely interrupted by Guo Jinglong.
"Shut up! Without my orders, who dares to mess around, don't blame me for not being merciful, and the military law will deal with it. β
Guo Jinglong softened his tone and said, "Can't you see it, the other party did it on purpose, and wanted to make us mess up, so you don't dare to mess with yourself." β
"But we just let them torture the dynasty?" Mahan couldn't help but grit his teeth and asked.
The corners of Guo Jinglong's mouth flashed with a trace of disdain, and said, "Then what should I do?" Do you really think you can save him at the hands of those people casually? β
"But we can't do nothing, can we? If this continues, Lord Wang will die for life! Li Qingshi couldn't help but say.
During his few days here, he established a deep friendship with the dynasty.
Guo Jinglong was still slowly disdainful, and said: "It's just a county order, and it's just a temporary position." Could it be that you want to use the danger of my entire city of soldiers and civilians to exchange for a chance with little money? β
"What do you mean......" Yan Shouyi asked with a little trembling.
Guo Jinglong's face was inconvenient, and he said softly: "I don't mean anything, but if he dies, I, Guo Jinglong, will definitely personally write to Qingyun Army and ask for his merits." Never let the brothers chill their hearts. β
"People are gone, what's the use of asking for this bullshit and reward?" Mahan couldn't help but shout.
"Bastard, you just don't respect me, you dare to openly slander my Dajing military merit system! If it weren't for the time of employing people today, I would definitely have dealt with you by military law! Guo Jinglong shouted angrily.
Ma Han's anger finally reached its peak, took a big step forward, and without waiting for Guo Jinglong to react, he grabbed Guo Jinglong's collar with one hand, and with the other hand, he made a quick movement, the blade was unsheathed, and a dagger was slashed at Guo Jinglong's neck.
"Military law, okay, believe it or not, I dealt with you first!"
This guy is really well maintained, other martial arts people have dark and bronze skin, but Guo Jinglong's neck is much whiter and more tender than the daughter who is raised in the deep boudoir.
Seeing this, Yan Shou hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Ma Han, don't mess around." β
Ma Han looked at Yan Shouyi with a resolute face, and said, "Mr. Yan, as long as I kill this dog, you have the final say here." You're going to bring someone to save the king, aren't you? β
Yan Shouyi dared to answer, and only persuaded again: "I can't help it, you must not realize yourself!" β
When Guo Jinglong heard Ma Han's resolute words, he was even more frightened, and immediately bothered: "Brother, I have something to say." β
"Hmph, I don't have much to say to you." Mahan snapped.
Guo Jinglong hurriedly said flatteringly: "I know what you mean, brother, don't you just want to go out to save the dynasty, I agreed, I will go immediately, immediately!" You let go of the knife first, and don't shake your hands. β
Mahan was unmoved: "Hmph, your words are like bullshit, you think I will believe you." β
Guo Jinglong had no choice but to raise his hand and raise a row of fingers, and swore and said: "I swear, I swear!" If I tell a lie, there will be five thunderstorms! β
As soon as Guo Jinglong's words fell, he saw a light flash in the sky, flashing through the sky, extremely dazzling.
Naturally, this is not such a coincidence.
This thunder and lightning came from Xu Bo'an's hand at all.
After releasing a bolt of lightning, Xu Boan shook the lighter that had just been removed from the lighter in his hand, aimed it at a mountain in the distance, and pressed out a second artificial lightning.
