As the saying goes, when the moon is dark and kills people, when the wind is high and the fire is set on fire. Naturally, there is some truth to it.

This is the beginning of winter, and the natural northwest wind is not over as soon as it blows. Even the moonlight looks much hazy.

The two armies of Qin Yan on the city wall were five people and one team, holding short swords and long battles. The leader was armed with torches, and the braziers erected on the city walls, not to mention whether the flies could fly over, at least the larger finches could never fly over.

The 1,000 elite soldiers brought by Xu Ao were the elite of the defenders of Xianyang City, although they were not as good as the group of people who guarded the palace, they were much stronger than the many Qin troops in this Northern Expedition. Many people have a certain foundation of internal force. They guarded the granary, which also made many disciples of Yanwutang secretly rejoice.

Except for the unlucky ghost of the iron-blooded road, who hasn't brought a few attendants here, but what is this attendant, most of them are guests at home, since they know that Beidi sent elite soldiers to the rear to burn the grain and grass, then there is the possibility of sending a master to raid.

With Xu Ao's 1,000 elite soldiers guarding the granary, they don't have to worry about being assigned to this task. You must know that although the doorman is strong, his life is more precious. If there are more customers lost this time, I am afraid that everyone will not have a good time when they go home.

The walls of the entire Lonely Bamboo City add up to nearly thirty miles, and the probability of being attacked is not high. What's more, even if you meet a few people who don't open their eyes, and the doorman in your own house is not a chicken and dog slaughterer, at least there should be no big problem until the reinforcements arrive.

Therefore, tonight, many Yanwutang disciples didn't bother to put on the cold armor of Qin Yan's two armies at all, and most of the heavy robes they wore in the past were the ones they wore in the past. Those doormen are even more masterful, how can they allow themselves to be looked down upon by others, how to be conspicuous, how to wear, how to look heroic.

Just like the little boy surnamed Liu, this Liu family is also a wealthy family in Xianyang City, and there are not only masters of the Qin State behind him, but also two Southern Barbarian warriors with animal tattoos on their faces. You know, a barbarian who has not killed more than 100 people is not qualified to tattoo a beast tattoo on his face. What's more, their bodies covered with totems are densely tattooed in leather pants. One person in his hand has a big axe. After a foot of height, it is even more conspicuous, like two orangutans mixed into the group of monkeys.

A group of Qin soldiers passing by, the second-to-last fat man pouted, and expressed deep disdain for this: "This group of little roosters, Beidi is the first to be slaughtered." Those two stupid big ones can be used as meat shields, so big that they probably can cut them for a while. ”

The thin monkey-like Qin Jun behind him stabbed the fat man in the back with the hilt of his sword: "You talk a lot of nonsense, stand up." The range of movement was a little large, and the already unsuitable helmet covered most of his face at the same time, so frightened that he hurriedly reached out to help, but forgot that his right hand was holding Changge.

The bronze Changge fell to the ground, and the sound of smashing attracted all the eyes within a few tens of meters of distance.

"Hey, isn't this our Sun Xiansheng Sun eldest son, why did he wear the armor of a small soldier to patrol the city wall. Come on, come on, I'll pick up weapons for Sun Dagongzi. The young man surnamed Liu picked his toes and held Changge in his hand, but he did not return it to Sun Xiansheng. While rubbing the blade with his thumb, he looked playfully at the figure in front of Sun Xiansheng who was about to break the Qin Army's standard armor, and the not small helmet could only cover a small piece of the melon seeds on his head: "The one in front is not our Xu Hu Xu Gongzi." The two sons really have Yaxing, wearing the costumes of small soldiers to patrol the city wall. Far and near suddenly burst into laughter.

Sun Xiansheng said angrily: "We are called experiencing the hardships in the army! How can we be like you! Do you know how hard these ordinary sergeants are? Do you know how thin their robes are? Do you know how heavy this bronze helmet is? You don't know!"

"Come on, come on, isn't it that the family didn't send a guest to come, and everyone doesn't know. After that, he threw Chang Ge in his hand to Sun Xiansheng: "The two brothers Kurha and Harku behind me can naturally protect this piece well." If you are afraid, a copper coin, my two guards will rent you for one night. ”

Sun Xiansheng's face turned red, and he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go up to teach this little man a lesson. Xu Hu hurriedly grabbed Sun Xiansheng's belt, and said while dragging him away: "Liu Gongzi, with you, we are naturally at ease." I'll go with the Manifestation to another place. ”

The laughter was a little louder.

Xu Ao was much more leisurely than most of the disciples of the Yanwu Hall, and the 1,000 elites sent by His Highness the Seventh Highness would be unable to drain the water around the granary. Plus dozens of disciples of the Iron Blood Road were scattered around. For a while, Xu Ao became the most leisurely person around the granary.

The only thing that was a little hard was not being able to sleep all night. Alone in the granary.

In order to pass the time, he also took out the bronze sword that had never been packaged, and the rag he picked up from the corner of the granary was dipped in lamp oil, and slowly wiped the bronze sword lying on the table.

"Hiss" knows the chickentail in the sea, and the hateful teeth of the people itch.

Xu Ao was staring at the corner of the granary where the lights couldn't shine.

According to the novels I read in my previous life, the more alone you are, the easier it is to encounter things. Either the master broke through the top, or suddenly caught fire inexplicably. This Kyushu world is estimated to be even worse, there are no demons and monsters, maybe a ghost can come out of a dark corner.

chirping

Xu Ao shook his whole body and knocked over the lamp oil on the table, and the flames immediately ignited most of the table along the lamp oil.

", !!!" frightened Xu Ao kicked open the burning table.

"Lord Xu!" the two elites guarding the door kicked the door open, and the arrows were like lightning, turning all the living things in the house into dead things except Xu Ao.

Then I saw that the table that Xu Ao kicked out was burning with flames, and it was burning along the neat sacks.

The two Qin soldiers were stunned for a moment before they reacted: "Fight the fire!"

General Qin was awakened by a cry in his sleep, he jumped out of bed, pushed open the door, and saw several people running straight to the granary with wooden barrels: "What's the matter!"

One of the sergeants who ran by replied, "My lord, it seems that the granary is on fire." ”

General Qin was startled, went back to the house, pulled a piece of clothing, picked up the long sword on the table, and ran to the granary.

There were tens of thousands of defenders on the lonely bamboo city, and the enemy was able to burn down the granary without alarming a minute, which shows that the comer was not good.

By the time he arrived, the fire, which was not too big, had been extinguished, and the smell of burnt and rice filled the air.

Xu Ao's face was scorched, and he was staring at the granary in a daze.

"What's the matter, where is the enemy army?!" General Qin patted Xu Ao on the shoulder in a daze.

"General Qin、、、 Qin. Xu Ao saw the person he was most afraid of seeing at this moment.

"What the hell is going on. General Qin swept his eyes, and there was no trace of a fight here. Naturally, I sensed that something was wrong.

"Lord Hui, it was Xu Gongzi who accidentally knocked over the lamp. 、、、," replied a sergeant with many torn clothes.

"You!" General Qin's hand on Xu Ao's shoulder was eager to strangle him immediately: "How about the loss?"

"The disposal was relatively timely, and a few bags of grain were burned, but this granary is afraid that it will not be usable, and the roof has burned through. The sergeant replied.

"Xu Ao, you come with me!" General Qin gritted his teeth.
