Chapter 145: The Riot Begins
Dark clouds drifted by, and a full moon hung in the sky, revealing its true face.
The silvery moonlight shone on the earth, and it was peaceful.
Dongxuan City in the middle of the night, under this moonlight, is like a sleeping giant beast, standing quietly on the earth.
In Dongxuan City, from time to time, there was a crisp sound of military boots stepping on the ground.
The voice was heard far away in the silent night.
Several secret sentinels hid by the edge of a courtyard, breathing slowly, quietly looking at the side room in the courtyard not far away.
A candle lamp printed several figures in the room, talking to each other, not knowing what they were saying.
These sentries have been observing here for a long time, and they have been keeping an eye on this compound since there was a small commotion among the people in the city.
The reason is simple: the owner of this courtyard did not come out, but many people entered. There are many people who go in, but few people who come out, and it is very suspicious.
The passage of time has further confirmed the vision of several dark sentinels.
The people in this courtyard had no intention of dispersing at all, and they were always in this house, not knowing what they were talking about.
They had received orders from the lord of the city to guard such places strictly. In the entire Dongxuan City, there are about dozens of abnormal courtyards like this.
Three secret sentinels were arranged in each place, quietly observing, and the rest of his life did not believe that so many fine works could enter the city. If they are all true, they must belong to different multiple forces.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is dawn.
There are dozens of courtyards, and the people inside have been discussing something all night, but none of them have the slightest movement.
Yu Sheng quietly looked at the paperwork in his hand, his brows furrowed.
He was completely prepared, but these suspicious people did not make the slightest move.
At the same time, Dongxuancheng's investigation of the people continued, and martial law was not lifted.
The sun rises, bringing the first rays of sunshine of the day. The sun shone on the bluestone road in front of the city lord's mansion, a golden yellow.
For two consecutive nights, he didn't close his eyes for the rest of his life, and he had been waiting for the other party to make a move, but the other party didn't move.
If these people are not in the same camp, but at this time, it is really a tacit understanding.
Ordered the sergeant on duty to change shifts, Yu Sheng stood up, stretched his waist, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He somewhat understood what the other party meant, these people obviously wanted to wait for the rest of their work, and wait for the end of the two days when the sergeants were physically and mentally exhausted, and then attack again.
Thinking of this, Yu Sheng smiled, called a herald in, and whispered a few words in his ear.
The herald led the order to go out, and Yu Sheng paced out of the antechamber, looked left and right, and was a little bored, so he went to the kitchen by himself and looked for something to eat.
The layout of Dongxuan City has changed slightly.
Originally, the secret sentinel guarding the abnormal courtyard was increased from three to four, divided into two shifts, and rotated for four hours, each dark post was equipped with a drill sound, once an abnormal situation was found, it was launched to the sky, and there would be soldiers patrolling around it to come to support immediately.
The sergeants in charge of the investigation were secretly reduced by a few people, and each team only maintained a minimum staffing, and the other sergeants were asked to go back to rest, but ordered A not to leave his body and not to put his knife in his sheath.
The frequency of patrolling sergeants was again reduced, and the number of sergeants per squad was reduced by two, and these men were equally ordered.
For a while, on the bright side, there were many fewer sergeants on duty outside in the entire Dongxuan City. But secretly, there's a lot more.
Huang Yuchen and Huang Yuanwu had already woken up from their meditation, and arranged for someone to bring breakfast into the room for the rest of their lives. The two did not leave the house, had breakfast, and practiced on their own.
Huang Yuanwu didn't have any new orders, according to yesterday's order, today, the other three teams sent to deliver the letter should have arrived at their respective destinations, and the rest is just waiting to return
Believed.
In fact, Huang Yuanwu's purpose in arranging this step is also very simple, since you want me to be injured, then I will tell you that I am injured, not only am I injured, but I also want to convene the four city lords under my command to gather, are you afraid?
If nothing else, the other three teams of people who deliver the letter will definitely encounter obstacles, and it does not matter whether the letters in their hands can be delivered to the destination or not, if the enemy cannot see these letters, it will be a headache.
Huang Yuanwu sat quietly on the chair, holding a book in his hand, reading quietly. Huang Yuchen sat cross-legged on the bed, quietly pranayama.
The development of the situation was completely beyond the scope of Huang Yuchen's ability, and all he could do now was to cultivate hard.
Throughout the day, all the abnormal courtyards did not move, and the people in the courtyard left early in the morning and returned to their residences, they did not make any movements, and the dark whistle could not stimulate the sound of drilling.
During this day's investigation, except for some people who committed adultery and criminals, not a single problematic person was found, but dozens of problematic courtyards were found.
This made the rest of his life a little unexpected, to say that these people are all meticulous, it is impossible, but which of them are the people who complained together, and which ones are really meticulous, but there is no way to find out.
For the rest of his life, he had to send additional secret sentinels to keep an eye on these compounds, hoping to expel the innocent people from them before the other party began to act.
This makes Yu Sheng a little big, he doesn't have too many people under him, and the entire Dongxuan City is already a little stretched under martial law, and then arranging so many secret posts makes the available manpower even more scarce.
Helpless, he could only arrange a patrol team to investigate again near the suspicious courtyard in the name of re-inspection, disrupting the arrangement of people in the courtyard.
This still had some effect, and through martial law, the people gathered in several of the courtyards were brought back to the arsenal for questioning and investigation, thus freeing up many of the secret posts that had been arranged.
The patrol team reviewed the areas where each courtyard existed, and the people who had quietly gathered in the courtyard secretly separated again, and the secret sentry in charge of squatting watched a few of them, which was much easier.
After such a toss, when the sun set, the people in the suspicious courtyards in the city had already scattered away, except for about thirty percent of the people who were brought into the Wufu to wait for the release of people tomorrow, the remaining dozens of people in the courtyards scattered back to their residences, and there was no change.
As the sun sets, the last rays of afterglow disappear into the sky and the night.
The entire Dongxuancheng sergeant, waiting for the day, ready to go, with Xu Sheng's analysis, the meticulous work in the city, there will be an incident tonight, if they do not have any changes, then the previous arrangement will be in vain.
The rest of his life sat quietly in the main hall and drank tea slowly. The city lord's mansion was crowded, all military orders had been issued, and several heralds stood outside the main hall, waiting for news from outside or orders for the rest of their lives.
Time passed, and darkness came.
Tonight, the sky is clear, a full moon hangs above the sky, and the silver light shines on the earth.
It was unusually quiet, and in the city of Dongxuancheng, it seemed that everyone was asleep, and there was hardly any sound.
Including the sergeants on patrol, the frequency of patrols is also reduced to a minimum at the moment.
Suddenly, a flash of fire appeared in the sky, and it was the sound of drilling into the sky.
The nearby sergeants immediately moved and quickly went to the scene of the incident.
At the same time, several more flames rose into the sky, prompting the patrol sergeants around to rush there.
Yu Sheng sat in the front hall, and he naturally heard the piercing sound of drilling into the sky, but he didn't make any moves, but instead had a sneer on his face.
The news quickly spread to the city lord's mansion, and the secret sentry found that someone had moved, either setting fire to the courtyard, or entering the neighborhood with knives and slashing and slashing, in short, all the changes were to create chaos and make the patrolling sergeants tired.
For the rest of his life, he didn't have any orders, just a group of soldiers who had been prepared for a long time in the martial arts were on standby at any time.
At present, there is only a small amount of commotion, the purpose of which is to create panic in the city, so that the soldiers are exhausted, so as to attract the rest of their lives to start moving, and their real killing tactics must not be carried out yet.
For a time, the city was full of fires, and the shouts of killing were endless, but it did not form a monstrous momentum, and all the rioters were subdued at the first time, the arson was extinguished, and the people who slashed the people were killed on the spot.
These actions were completed only by the cooperation between the sergeants who were originally patrolling and the secret sentry, and in the middle of the night, the first wave of riots was quickly quelled.
The city quickly returned to silence, but after this toss, all the people awoke from their deep sleep, and the screeching fire and the piercing sound of the sky, as well as the sound of slashing nearby, all frightened their hearts.
The people locked the courtyard door one after another, hiding in the place where they could hide in their homes, shivering.
After a while, there was no movement in the city.
The secret whistle reported that there were only a dozen places where there was action, and there were dozens of nearly 100 suspicious people left, and there was no action until now.
Yu Sheng frowned slightly, in his opinion, since the enemy had started to move, it should not stop, Fang Cai's action was obviously to mobilize the entire city of sergeants to rescue here, but judging from the location and frequency of the accident, this harassment was far from enough.
The rest of his life was meditating, but he heard a sound of drilling into the sky, but this drilling sound did not go straight to the sky, but deviated a little.
With a frown, Yu Sheng walked out of the front hall, looking at the sky with a slightly deviated drill sound, and his heart was racing.
When the patrol sergeant saw the sound of drilling into the sky, he naturally immediately went to the place where the incident occurred. The nearest group of sergeants arrived at the scene of the incident in a moment, but found no enemies or commotion, only the bodies of two dark sentinels lying in pools of blood, and blood was pouring out.
And the person who killed him was nowhere to be found, and he didn't know where he was now.
When the news came, Yu Sheng's brows furrowed, and he immediately ordered that all patrol sergeants replace the secret sentry and directly enter the residence of the suspicious person, capture him, and kill him on the spot if he resists.
Inside the city, the sound of military boots collapsing was immediately heard everywhere, and a pair of sergeants went to the location of the secret post to carry out the orders for the rest of their lives.
In a moment, the news came from all over the sergeants, and among these secret sentinels, thirty percent had already died, and they didn't even have a chance to release the sound of drilling into the sky.
Obviously, the places where these dead sentry squatted were also empty for a long time, and the sergeants pounced into the air, and could not see any suspicious people except for the corpse of the sentry lying in a pool of blood.
"Damn!" Yu Sheng cursed secretly, and immediately ordered, saying that all the suspicious people in the other squatting places were stuffed into the prison of Wufu, and he didn't care if it was overcrowded or not.
At this point, all suspicious locations were eliminated, there were no suspicious people inside, and the patrol sergeants gathered back, and according to the orders of the rest of his life, there were only three places to focus on defending.
The City Gate, the Martial Mansion and the Castle Lord's Mansion.
A small number of sergeants patrolled outside, and most of the rest of the sergeants surrounded the Martial Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion.
This seems to be passive, but there is no other way for the rest of your life at this moment but to keep important areas.
According to the news, there are about twenty to thirty suspicious people who escaped from the secret sentinel this time, and all of these people have cultivated in their bodies, and this cultivation is not lower than the senior level of the monk.
The secret sentinels are all self-cultivation, and they have been on the battlefield for a long time, and their cultivation is not lower than the intermediate level of the monks, if they want to kill them silently before they make a sound of drilling into the sky, without the advanced cultivation of the monks and the steps of concealment, it is absolutely impossible to do it.
After this change, Dongxuancheng returned to silence again.
All kinds of thoughts jumped in Yu Sheng's mind, and he didn't know what these enemies who had hidden in the city were going to do.
Suddenly, all over the city, fires erupted.
