Chapter 334 Are you ready?
When everything was quiet, the curtains of the main tent were quietly stained with blood. This strange scene happened silently, and no one noticed this bloody change.
At the same time, on the high tower of the granary, Wang Cheng stood quietly, overlooking the fierce fighting scene below with a calm gaze. A wounded warehouse officer was kneeling beside him.
The warehouse official looked at the young man, his sweat running down his face, filled with fear.
The whole scene was unusually quiet, with only the rustling sound of the flags in the breeze and the faint shouting and killing sounds coming from below.
Soon, the movement below finally stopped, and Wang Cheng turned around. He glanced at the warehouse officer and asked, "Are all the things I want ready?"
The warehouse officer nodded hurriedly and said, "Everything is ready. I have also sent someone to report to General Chen that there are thieves who want to burn the grain tonight."
"Well done..." Wang Cheng praised softly, then walked down the tower with steady steps.
Upon seeing this, the warehouse official followed like a lackey.
At this time, the shadow guards had killed all the thieves, leaving only one soldier in different uniform alive.
Wang Cheng took a look and chuckled, "So he is a captain, but he is also a fool. He brought dozens of people here just to burn food. What? Are you trying to catch the turtle in the jar and assassinate General Chen?"
The captain stared at Wang Cheng fiercely. His jaw had been removed and the sounds he made were unclear, but one could still tell they were curses.
Wang Cheng didn't care. He looked at the shadow guard and whispered, "There are spies in the city. Take this man away first. I will catch the others tomorrow."
The shadow guard did not reply but was quite obedient. After leaving a pile of corpses on the ground, he disappeared without a trace.
The warehouse official looked at the ghostly figure and couldn't help shaking. He handed the torch to Wang Cheng in a flattering manner and asked in a trembling voice, "I wonder if the lord has any other instructions?"
"Just watch my movements and do as I say." Wang Cheng took it calmly and came to a pile of hay more than ten feet high.
At this time, Chen Du and a group of generals hurried over. Seeing the corpses of soldiers all over the ground, he was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes, and his gaze fell on the young man holding the torch. He said, "Military Advisor Xiao Yu, it's true... You can't judge a person by his appearance. He helped me a lot quietly."
Wang Cheng nodded happily and accepted the compliment.
He raised his eyes and looked back at Chen Du jokingly. "I wondered why the emperor would send me here to catch spies? It turns out that the Chen family has lost their strategy and lack of blood. The battle is imminent, and they are still in Tule..."
"General Chen, you have not fought a major battle for many years and you have become slack." Wang Cheng added quietly, and the torch in his hand fell to the ground. After it was touched by kerosene, it instantly set the haystack behind him on fire.
At the same time, two more beams of fire rushed towards the sky, illuminating the entire night, and the outside became noisy.
Chen Du opened his eyes wide, staring at the warehouse officer who was secretly setting fire to the warehouse.
"General, he has the emperor's order." The warehouse official lowered his head and explained helplessly.
"Military Advisor Xiao Yu, what do you mean?" Chen Du looked at Wang Cheng with dissatisfaction.
At this time, Wang Cheng's voice returned to its original state, cold and pleasant. "General Chen, you will know soon. I wish you a successful first battle. See you later..."
As soon as the voice fell, a black shadow appeared quietly, picked up Wang Cheng and left in a leisurely manner. A human skin mask suddenly appeared in everyone's sight, slowly floating onto the fire, emitting an unpleasant smell that drifted into the noses of the people present.
Chen Du looked in the direction where Wang Cheng left, his brows furrowed.
At this moment, several soldiers stumbled over and knelt before him. "General, the main camp was robbed and the city defense map is missing."
Chen Du's face suddenly changed, and he hurried back to the main tent, only to see that the city defense map that should have been hung on the shelf had disappeared, and blood was splattered on the cloth tent, obviously a desperate fight had taken place.
He quickly glanced around, then strode to the table and grabbed something, which was another human skin mask. He immediately gnashed his teeth and slapped the table through with one palm.
At this moment, the pupils of everyone in the tent shrank. The city defense map that should have disappeared unexpectedly reappeared, along with the broken pieces of table, breaking into two pieces and falling to the ground.
Everyone:...
The atmosphere froze at this moment.
After a long while, someone in the crowd sighed, "So, those two military advisors are not good-for-nothings!"
Unfortunately, just when everyone knew that the emperor had sent people over, the two men had already quietly completed their mission and slipped away, without bothering anyone in the army at all.
Everyone is having a heart attack...
All night
The North City was filled with the smell of bustling food again. A bowl of steaming wontons was brought to Lin Yuzan. He blew away the hot air and began to eat slowly.
Wang Cheng also came over from a distance, looking exhausted, sat next to him, ordered a bowl of wontons, and said to him without any context, "Now we just need to wait for someone to pick us up."
Lin Yuzan had no expression on his face. He just looked up at 66 who was staring at him, and kindly reminded him, "66, the war is about to start. If you don't eat this bowl, I'm afraid you will never be able to eat such delicious wontons again in Beicheng."
66 ignored him and even rolled his eyes.
Seeing that persuasion was fruitless, Lin Yuzan didn't care and just muttered, "It's time to send a letter home, otherwise Wanniang and Qingjie will be worried about me."
Wang Cheng looked out in the distance towards the city and sighed, "That's how it should be."
After saying that, the two of them quickly finished their wontons and stood up together.
At this moment, a loud and long horn sounded outside the city, and the deafening sound of fighting penetrated the entire north city... The war finally began.
66's expression changed slightly. He looked at the two people leaving and heard two whispers in his ears with the wind.
"It's a pity that we came to Beicheng and the news from Yanjing is delayed, otherwise we wouldn't have to be so anxious."
"The situation in Yanjing is changing rapidly. I just hope Wanniang and Qingjie will ignore everything and wait for me to return."
……
Yankyo
Xiao Yining, who was delayed in getting the news, finally learned that Qingsong had escaped from the Dali Temple.
She glanced cautiously at 13, who looked very upset.
Yesterday, Qingsong sneaked into the Lin family at night and fought with 13 for a long time. They were evenly matched, but this man kept declaring, "I am not an enemy."
In the end, it was Shadow Guard 38 from his fellow villager who became really annoyed by this man's noise and took action, and together they forced Qingsong to retreat.
As for why grandpa didn't do anything, he came over to take a look, then just sneered and said, "You little bastard," and went back to tease grandma again.
However, before leaving, Qingsong threatened to come back.
In this regard, Xiao Yining sighed in her heart: Men’s obsession with real men is indeed deep.
"Little girl, what are you looking at?" Seeing that Xiao Yining was staring at her, 13 glared back at him unhappily.
Xiao Yining immediately grinned, "Sister San, I find that you are different from before."
As soon as he finished speaking, 13's face turned suspiciously red. He glared at the kid in shame and anger again. He was too lazy to rub the ice basin and hid on the beam again.
Xiao Yining raised his eyebrows but did not ask her to come down.
Shy, she knows...
After all, women are very obsessed with certain things. From 13's increasingly better figure, she has concluded that this person has secretly taken the "breast enhancement medicine" she bought from the female doctor, and the effect is quite good.
Since she “doesn’t understand”, she naturally pretends not to know.
Little Yining held up his chin and looked outside. The noise last night was not very loud, but the family was still scared.
Her mother was so upset that she went to Yu Ke's house, wanting to hire a female outlaw to take care of her like Yu Ke did.
Her fellow villager also went to find his cheap brother, Xiao Shunzi, to ask for the person.
Xiao Shunzi hid in the palace to avoid the male protagonist, but was eventually tortured by his own boss, the Second Prince, and gave up his life and death. He went to hide outside the palace for an hour or two a day, which could make this poor worker recover instantly and face his boss again with full confidence.
Soon, footsteps were heard outside the house. Pei Yi knocked on the door lightly and called out to Xiao Yining to come back to life.
When Xiao Yining saw her fellow villager, she immediately showed a look of grievance, and complained with red eyes, "Mother and cousin are so bad, leaving Sister Qing alone at home."
Pei Yi looked at her helplessly, this little kid was too good at causing trouble. If she was watched when she went out, she would even induce others to break out of prison to meet her. If she wasn't locked up, he was really afraid that she would cause trouble again.
If Xiao Yining knew what her fellow villagers were thinking: Are you polite? She really worries a lot about this family!
Pei Yi sighed lightly and praised himself, saying that he was the most reliable.
He sat down in front of the kid and started talking about the latest news he had brought from Pei's mansion. "Today, Brother Shunzi told me that the crazy granddaughter of Prince Yu caught the eye of the Second Prince. Yesterday, the Second Prince spent the entire morning playing with her at the Empress Dowager's place and did not allow her to leave the palace. The Emperor was unhappy."
Xiao Yining turned to look at his fellow villager, with an ominous premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, the next moment, the fellow villager said, "My father and the emperor suggested that you accompany the second prince for a day. You are of similar age, so you should be able to play with him better than the granddaughter of Prince Yu."
Xiao Yining, who was just complaining about Xiao Shunzi being a poor worker, didn’t expect that he was one of the poor workers.
Two scenes of meeting naughty kids came to my mind.
Little Yining showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Uncle, I don't want to go to the palace to accompany the children..."
