Ji Longjun and Ni Qisha nodded. Vertices

After checking the weapons and flints he had brought with him again, he climbed out of the window one by one, closed the wooden window again, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Ji Longjun volunteered to go to Beicheng to set fire.

Because the northern city is the gathering place of various yamen, and the martial arts arena is also in the northern city, the number of warriors patrolling there is more and denser than the southern city.

Ji Longjun has been to Beicheng many times and is quite familiar with the terrain there.

The boundary of Nancheng is larger, full of houses and alleys, which is very convenient to hide, as long as you don't meet the top masters and Mu Feng, it is difficult to be caught.

Actually, there is another reason.

arson in the yamen and the barracks, Ji Longjun did not have too much psychological burden, and was very calm.

However, if he is allowed to set fire to commercial and residential areas, once the fire is difficult to control, it can easily cause huge losses, and even burn many innocent people.

This point has left a very deep intuitive impression in Ji Longjun's heart.

That year, he stood at the mouth of the alley with a younger brother in one hand, his eyes looking directly at his house that was engulfed by monstrous flames, and there were almost all his relatives in the house.

The consequence of all thoughts is unforgettable pain.

Therefore, Ji Longjun was reluctant to attack the business district and residential area, especially after getting to know the little toad and Tang Xiaoying, he had gradually separated his hatred for those executioners in Qicheng from his disgust for Qicheng itself and the people of Qicheng.

For example, now let Ji Longjun go and burn the little toad's fruit tea shop, even if it will be very beneficial for their plan to advance after burning, will he burn it?

Definitely not.

Ji Longjun avoided the patrolling guards and climbed into a small courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, there were six men guarding by the brazier, but the courtyard was quiet, and there was no light at all.

Ji Longjun gently pushed open the door of the main hall and walked in slowly. He found a candle and lit it, and looked at the hall carefully.

The room was simply furnished, with only a long table, a few chairs, and bookshelves on three walls, on which were placed a booklet, like some kind of ledger.

Ji Longjun casually took it down and opened it to check.

"Oh, it turns out that this is the yamen in charge of grain, vegetables and fruits, hehe......" Ji Longjun flipped through a few pages, felt a little bored, and put the booklet back on the shelf.

"There are ledgers all over here, and if you light a fire, it will definitely burn very strongly. Ji Longjun walked to the long table and sat on the Taishi chair and thought.

"Hmm, there's a dark cabinet here?" Ji Longjun noticed by the light of the fire that there was an inconspicuous lattice at his feet, which was integrated with the long table, and it was extremely difficult to find without looking closely.

Ji Longjun opened the secret cupboard, and there was a thick scroll lying inside.

Ji Longjun put the candle on the table, opened the scroll and looked at it carefully.

The more he looked, the more frightened he became.

"This is the order given to this yamen by the city lord's mansion...... Such a long and detailed directive, and it was given to many different yamen, seems to be very important......"

Ji Longjun continued to look down, the scroll was very long, I am afraid that it would not be less than 10,000 words, Ji Longjun looked at it patiently.

"Fengyun City controls the northern realm, and Qicheng penetrates the entire southern realm, although it has not won or lost for decades, there will be a battle in the future...... However, the climate in the north is dry, which is not suitable for cultivation and planting, and most of the grain and vegetarian vegetables are purchased from the south. The climate in the south is temperate and the region is comparative

The northern border is very vast, and a large amount of grain is exported to the northern border. ”

Ji Longjun thought while watching:

"According to Qiu Caibee's secret instructions, this yamen master spent about five years to export grain to the north at a crazy low price under various guises, and the people in the north love to do business, there is no shortage of money, and now there are almost no people farming, at most some livestock. Once Qicheng starts a war against the Ginkgo Valley and prepares to unify the south, Qicheng will immediately and completely strangle the export of grain to the north, and send samurai to infiltrate the north in large numbers disguised as bandits, destroy the rural cultivation ecology in the north, burn down the only farmland and farms, smash farm tools, and kill livestock, so that they will fall into a situation where they have no grain to produce and no food to eat. ”

"After Qicheng took control of Ginkgo Valley, he immediately took over all production in the valley, and replaced Fengyun City's trade blockade of the southern border with the specialties of Ginkgo Valley.

In this way, even if the south and the north completely cut off trade, there is a ginkgo valley in the south, but there is only a distant snake valley in the north, and the grain production of the snake valley is simply not enough to sell to the north in large quantities, and the north will inevitably fall into a sharp rise in food prices and panic among the people. ”

"In less than a year, there will be chaos in the north. One year is enough time for Qicheng to integrate the Ginkgo Valley, and after the integration is completed, it will invade the northern territory with all its might. Although the northern border is like a cloud, and the city is strong, but this time is different from the time more than ten years ago, this time the northern border regardless of the size of the walled city is short of food, and it is impossible to hold on at all, either it will be a decisive battle in one battle, or it will be consumed alive!"

"Therefore, the strategy of attacking the northern border is to advance step by step, fight steadily, do not seek quick victory, do not seek killing, just compress the territory controlled by Fengyun City little by little, drive the population to Fengyun City and other big cities, and let the displaced people consume their food reserves, and use hunger to win this battle!"

Seeing the end, Ji Longjun found that the latter order was not only issued to the Food Bureau, but also to the many yamen in charge of transportation, trade, barracks, production, etc.

"Hmph, the old thief Qiu went out of the city on the front foot, and arranged such a vicious plan on the back foot...... It seems that this order has just begun to be executed, otherwise the Crazy Dragon City Lord would not be unaware of such a major matter. The Crazy Dragon City Lord was afraid that he had expected such a day for a long time, and he said that he had hoarded a large amount of food, enough to eat for many years, but it was true that after Qicheng completely cut off food delivery, which of them would be able to play chess? Who would have the last laugh?"

Ji Longjun's expression was grim, and he said secretly: "Old thief Qiu is really powerful, so calm...... When the weapons were inferior to the north, he dug up the chess piece of the mining city. When the northern realm controlled the passage to other realms and was able to block trade, he used the grain trade to reach a tacit agreement with the Rebel Dragon...... Hehe, these people are not tired. But in the end, who will die, we have to see who wins and who loses in this battle of Ginkgo Valley......"

Ji Longjun carefully folded the scroll and stuffed it into his backpack, looked at the small but piled up account book in the public hall, shook his head and shook his hand, lit a fire, and threw it on the bookshelf.

There is a large amount of phosphorus powder hidden in the fire fold, and it burns very quickly at one point. Ji Longjun threw the fire fold onto the bookshelf, and almost in the blink of an eye, it ignited several account books, and the fire was already uncontrollable.

"Burn, burn, as long as you don't burn people. Ji Longjun said silently, turned his head and walked out of the lobby.

"It's on fire! It's on fire! The grain yamen is on fire!" A miserable cry broke the silence of the night, and also set off the beginning of the night's chaos.

"The Ordnance Yamen is also on fire! Someone is here to put out the fire!"

"Nancheng is also on fire!

Not to mention that Qicheng's preparation is still very sufficient.

There are guards everywhere, and the fire is detected and dealt with quickly. It's just that many places in the south and north cities are on fire at the same time, and the arsonist can't be found, and the guards don't know how many enemies there are, so there is some confusion.

The ignition points are still increasing, and the fire is being extinguished everywhere, and at the same time, there are fires everywhere.

If you look at Qicheng from the top of the mountain in the distance, the city that had been in darkness suddenly lights up, and there is light everywhere in the whole city, except for the faint darkness in the center of the city.

Near the gate of the castle lord's mansion, there were patrolling samurai everywhere, and people kept coming in and out, reporting the fire and arrest to several leaders in time.

These leaders then reported to Bao Jiechen, who was in charge, according to the urgency of the intelligence.

The two watchmen walked slowly against the corner of the wall, avoiding the samurai patrolling the streets, and shouted at the top of their voices as they banged on the poles:

"The fifth watch of the second time...... Go to bed early and wake up early...... Take care of your body......!"

In the Zhao Mansion close to the City Lord's Mansion, in the back garden where rockeries and grass and trees are intertwined, there are four black-clothed shadows lying here carefully planning something.

Master Zhao of the Zhao Mansion was a wealthy businessman in Qicheng, and he deliberately purchased this set of mansions near the City Lord's Mansion.

These four black shadows are Mu Feng and the other four.

Mu Feng laughed quietly: "Go to bed early and get up early, take care of your body, ha! Let's make a fuss, I don't know how many people have to be woken up, and how many people have broken their legs, where to take care of their bodies!"

Ji Longjun glared at him angrily and said, "My brother, what should we do next?" Now that the three layers near the City Lord's Mansion are full of guards, I am afraid it will not be easy to sneak in. ”

Mu Feng proudly took out a ball of clothes from the black bag behind him, handed them to everyone one by one, and said, "I've been ready for a long time." These are four sets of Qicheng martial arts uniforms, and the fat and thin sizes are specially selected to fit our figures. Hurry up and put on your military uniform, I have a spy who has infiltrated the guards earlier, and he will take us into the mansion!"

Ji Longjun took a deep look at Mu Feng, and his impression of Mu Feng changed greatly.

After the four of them got dressed, they avoided the family and turned out of the Zhao Mansion, and sure enough, there was a Qicheng guard waiting in the dark corner of the wall.

Mu Feng nodded at him, this person arched his hand, turned his head and left without saying a word, Mu Feng and the others followed him towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Through the layers of human walls, everyone walked to the gate. The place is brightly lit, and the guards with knives are densely packed like ant nests.

"Stop, what's the matter?" the samurai guarding the gate of the castle lord's mansion stopped everyone.

"Brother, I am the adjutant of the Gale Camp in the south of the city, and I was ordered to report the fire extinguishing situation in the south city to the commander, and this is the token. ”

The man took a bronze medal from his back and handed it to the samurai for inspection, and the samurai looked at it and waved his hand, allowing everyone to enter the city lord's mansion.

There is almost no difference between inside and outside the palace, and there are samurai patrolling back and forth with torches everywhere.

The man took Mu Feng and the other four people to stop in a deserted corner. The man whispered:

"Little military master, this road goes forward and passes through the triple gate behind the apse of the City Lord's Mansion, Bao Jiechen's kid is sitting in the apse, you must be careful!"

Mu Feng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I know, you should be careful!"

The man nodded, bowed to the crowd, and turned away.
