It is said that at this time, the first watch has already sounded, that is, after the end of the day, the sky has already been dark. Xie Yixiang remembered that he asked the officials to prepare all the matters before the third watch, and there were still two hours, and when he was bored, he had to meditate and practice qi in the back hall of this yamen. However, she always couldn't let go of the murderous and cannibalistic girl in her heart, worried that the girl would suddenly appear in the back hall of this yamen and provoke her again, so she has always been on guard. Fortunately, this scene did not happen in the end, thinking that if the girl was really some kind of evil thing, with the presence of a little Taoist priest with two eyes and eyes, most of them would not dare to show up easily.

With the lights and shadows in the back hall flickering, time was passing little by little, and I heard the movements in Ningyi City outside the yamen from time to time, and I didn't know whether Lord Fang was ordering people to prepare according to the instructions of Deyizi, or the people in the city were killing each other because of hunger. Seeing that the third watch was approaching, the lord finally came back with a few officials panting and trotting, saying that everything had been arranged according to the requirements of the first son. De Yizi on the chair immediately opened his eyes, and didn't explain much to Lord Fang and the others, just beckoned Xie Yixiang to take his black burden and go all the way to the "Tianyunju" restaurant in Ningyi City. In desperation, Lord Fang also led people to follow behind to see what strategy this little Taoist priest had.

Xie Yixiang stepped out of the yamen of Ningyi City, only to find that tonight was clearly a dark and windy night, and the dense clouds overhead could be faintly seen, and he could barely see his five fingers, only afraid that there would be a strong wind or rainstorm soon. And the "Tianyunju" restaurant in the city, Xie Yixiang has passed by several times before, but he also has some impressions. When the group arrived in the middle of Ningyi City, they already saw this three-storey restaurant from afar, at this time the roof has been completely demolished, and on the third floor, twenty or thirty square tables are stacked to build a cone-shaped high platform, about two zhang high; and according to the instructions of De Yizi, each square table is covered with a yellow cloth that is Xu Jian, and then stacked layer by layer. From a distance, there is a yellow platform on the third floor of the entire "Tianyunju".

Seeing that Lord Fang's servants were so efficient, even De Yizi couldn't help but nod slightly, and stepped straight into this "Tianyun Residence", all the way up to the third floor. Xie Yixiang, Master Fang and others followed, looking out from the third floor of this restaurant, the entire Ningyi City was already in full view, and it could be seen that this place was indeed the highest place in the city. Although there is no light in the stars and moon tonight, it is difficult to overcome Xie Yixiang's "poor thousands of miles" magical power, looking around, you can vaguely see the four city gates in the southeast and northwest of Ningyi City, at this time have corresponded to the five elements of "wood", "fire", "gold", "water" four directions, in the door of the city gate hanging dense green, red, white, black four color cloth, it is the requirement before getting a son, to use the five elements corresponding to the color to mark the direction, so as to borrow the so-called "power of the five elements".

Looking at the situation in Ningyi City, it is just like the dispatch before getting a son. At the city gate on the east side, 400 soldiers defending the city were already on standby, all of them guarding the city wall; at the city gate on the south side, more than 100 soldiers dug a deep pit in the street inside the city gate, and it was three or four zhang square, almost cutting off the entire street; at the city gate on the west side, 200 strong men selected from the people in the city were also in place, waiting for the orders of one son; only at the city gate on the north side was deserted, and only a few guards could be seen.

As for the distance outside Ningyi City, because the night was too dark, Xie Yixiang couldn't see it clearly. I could only vaguely perceive that there was a whole circle of lights shining in the four fields and mountains surrounding Ningyi City, which was obviously the garrison of the 30,000 rebels besieging Ningyi City.

At that moment, Xie Yixiang told what he had seen to De Yizi beside him, De Yizi nodded again and again when he heard it, and finally sneered, and asked Lord Fang to give an order, telling those sergeants at the city gate in the south to continue digging the pit, right next to this deep pit, digging a new deep pit along the street, which would also be three or four zhang square and shallow in depth;

When Lord Fang sent an official to deliver the order, he looked up at the night sky overhead, and seeing that it was already two watches, he said in a deep voice to Lord Fang: "Open the city gate on the west side of Ningyi City, let the two hundred strong men rush out of the city, each holding a torch, just shouting loudly along the way, pretending to seize the batch of grain prepared by the rebels at the foot of the mountain outside the west gate, and the louder the movement, the better." Lord Fang was slightly stunned, then understood what he meant, and couldn't help but ask with a little surprise: "Is the little Daoist going to use these two hundred people to set up a suspicious array to attract the attention of the rebels outside the city?"

Deichiko sneered, "It seems that you are not too stupid. Although Lord Fang didn't understand what the whole strategy of the first son was tonight, when it came to the suspicious formation, he immediately had a tactic, and hurriedly said: "In this case, the lower official let the two hundred strong men divide into two teams, and the first hundred people in the front team rushed out of the west gate with torches in hand, chanting the words of grabbing food along the way, and when they reached a hundred paces away, they extinguished all the torches in their hands and retreated to the city under the cover of night; In this way, the two groups of people in the front and back repeatedly alternated, constantly going out of the city and entering the city, so as to confuse the besieging rebels, so that they mistakenly thought that a large number of men and horses rushed out of the west gate to rob the grain at the foot of Jishan Mountain, so as to concentrate all their energy on the west of Ningyi City. I wonder what the trail chief thinks?"

Xie Yixiang next to him was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then remembered that this Lord Fang had served under his father's account, no wonder he was a good hand at leading soldiers, but he had a slight change in his opinion of this cold-blooded and ruthless Ning Yi Taishou. De Yizi sneered with disdain on his face and said, "It's up to you to decide such a trivial matter." Since that guy is known as 'no soldier will kill a single person', then no matter how our two hundred people make a noise, in the middle of the night, the rebels besieging the city will not dare to rush into battle, so they can only send more men to hold on to that batch of food. In this way, as long as they can successfully attract the attention of the other party, the two hundred people outside the West Gate can be regarded as a complete success. ”

Lord Fang nodded again and again, but he didn't dare to delay more, and hurriedly ordered the official beside him to give orders. Deyizi asked for his black burden from Xie Yixiang's hand, and asked everyone to stay on the third floor of this "Tianyun Residence" to wait, and he climbed up to the high platform stacked by square tables alone. When he had climbed up to one of the highest tables, he sat down cross-legged on it, clasped his hands on his breast, and said something in his mouth.

After staying like this for a while, I heard a commotion from the west, but it was the two hundred strong men who had gathered at the west gate of Ningyi City who had received the order, and had already rushed out of the city in two teams alternately in front and back according to Lord Fang's strategy, holding torches high and shouting loudly along the way. De Yizi on the high platform then opened his eyes and recited in a loud voice: "Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, the root of ten thousand qi." Inside and outside the Three Realms, only the Tao is the only one. Covering the world and nurturing the masses. Five breaths are soaring, and the golden light is flashing quickly. Haste as a law!"

As soon as the words fell, Deyizi on the high platform stretched out his hand to the night sky, and suddenly a white light rose from his sleeve to the sky, rising into the night sky, and then exploded in the air, making a loud "boom". For a while, I saw that thousands of white lights in the night sky splashed in all directions, like a blooming snow lotus, which actually shrouded the entire Ningyi City in a white light.
