Quick travel: I am bound by the longevity system
Chapter 243 Leading the tribe to survive in troubled times 6
"You child, your safety is more important than revenge, do you know?" Mother Lin held Lin Jiu in her arms and cried. God knows how much she hated her weak body when her daughter followed her out to lure away those barbarians. If she had been stronger, her ninth wife wouldn't have to go.
"Mom, I will definitely pay attention next time." Lin Jiu looked helplessly at Lin Yu who was standing aside, "Sixth brother, please comfort mom."
Lin Yu walked up to Lin Jiu. If it weren't for the fact that he was a boy, he would have wanted to cry at this time.
Obviously he is the one who should support his mother and sister every day, but now he lets his sister take the responsibility for him.
Qi Xiuwu looked at Lin Jiu who was at a loss at this time with some surprise. He did not expect that the girl who had just killed the barbarian without blinking had such a side at this time.
I couldn't see clearly in the dark before, but now I can see clearly that I realize that this is still a child?
Qi Xiuwu was not surprised that a child could have such abilities. You must know that when his mother died in childbirth, his brother protected him from a young age and later took him to the border to join his uncle.
What's more, he also has a nephew with outstanding abilities at home.
"Miss Lin, thank you for your help tonight." Qi Xiuwu clasped his fists.
"No, just wait until you sell him for a good price and give 10% of the profit to our village." Lin Jiu did not forget that Qi Xiuwu said before that this man was very valuable.
"Don't worry, we will send you the reward when you get back."
"Da da da da da..."
There was a sound of horse hooves.
"Second uncle, the Liao people have retreated." The leading young man, wearing Liuyun Feijia, walked quickly to Qi Xiuwu.
"It seems that Xiaoliu's plan was successful." A smile appeared on Qi Xiuwu's face.
The city of Zhongdu was completely white, and every time the Liao soldiers passed a shop, they would throw things everywhere.
Shops owned by Han Chinese were even more intensively inspected.
Look like this, it seems like you are looking for someone.
These people dare not speak out in anger, for fear of provoking these evil spirits and causing death.
Last night, a fire suddenly broke out in the palace. I heard that the emperor and half of his concubines and children were burned to death.
Even if the remaining ones were not dead, they were seriously burned and injured. It was not known whether they could survive.
Last night the palace was ablaze, but they felt an indescribable joy in their hearts.
The Liao people did not believe that the palace would catch fire for no reason, and believed that it was an assassination by the Zhou people. Therefore, they ordered the city gates to be closed early in the morning, regardless of whether the fire was extinguished, and conducted strict interrogations in the city.
On the street, a young man dressed as a foreigner stood aside immediately when he saw a group of patrol soldiers approaching. After these people passed by, he walked into a private house with a bag of things.
Soon after the boy entered, a dozen men dressed as barbarians appeared in the yard.
"Sixth Young Master." The young man distributed the food in the bag to everyone.
"Mo Hen, how's the situation outside?" Qi Mingjing took a pancake and ate it.
In the past few days, they took turns going out to buy food and find out information.
"The fire is still burning. It's not clear whether the Emperor of Liao is dead or not. He is definitely unable to escape because of his serious injuries. However, the city gate is closed and the city's inspections are very strict. It is difficult for us to get out at the moment."
"Then don't go out yet." Qi Mingjing raised the corner of her mouth, "Let's go and add more fire to them tonight."
"Yes, Sixth Young Master, do you think if the general sends troops to Youzhou at this time, can you take back Youzhou?"
"The imperial court will not agree to my father sending troops." Qi Mingjing's eyes darkened.
After the autumn harvest, they expected that the Liao people would plow grass and paddy, which was what happened every year in these years. The Hu people were not good at farming, so large fields in the north were used for grazing. Once there was no food, they would go south to grab food. Their Qi family army will strengthen the border defense at this time every year.
It's a shame that Shi Jingtang dedicated the Sixteen Youyun Provinces to the Liao people, so that the north of the Zhou Dynasty lost its natural barrier. If the Sixteenth Youyun Provinces were there, how could these Hu people go south so easily.
What's even more hateful is that the imperial court has always been on guard against generals like them. It not only wants them to fight against the Liao people, but also often hinders them in terms of supplies.
If it weren't for the threat from the Liao people, I'm afraid their Qi family army would have been killed by the traitors in the court.
Although the imperial court believed them on the surface, the food and grass allocated to them became less and less. The military rations sent to them in the past two years were all old food mixed with stones.
Fortunately, the people of Zhending Mansion know the difficulties of their Qi Family Army and raise some military rations for them every year. It can be said that their Qi Family Army is actually supported by the people of Zhending Mansion.
But it was not an option to continue like this, so two years ago, Qi Xiuwu's sixth nephew Qi Mingjing proposed a "beheading" plan.
The Qi Family Army trained a group of outstanding assassins and scouts, and then Qi Mingjing led the team to contact the spies they arranged in Zhongdu to assassinate the royal family and high-level officials of the Liao Kingdom. Once the upper-level system of the Liao people was destroyed, the Liao Kingdom would also be destroyed. It will fall apart due to infighting.
Long before the heavy snowfall, Qi Mingjing took her people and sneaked into Zhongdu. It snowed heavily a few days ago. Qi Mingjing expected that the Liao people would attack Zhending Mansion, which gave them an opportunity.
When the Liao people led troops to attack Zhending Mansion, Qi Mingjing also sneaked into the palace with others.
The palace of the Liao Kingdom is as rough as the Khitan nation.
Probably because they were confident in their own strength, the palace was not very well guarded. In addition, it had been snowing heavily for several days, which gave Qi Mingjing and the others an opportunity to take advantage of.
After it snowed, it was so cold in Zhongdu that a bowl of water would instantly freeze when you scooped it out. The servants and guards in the palace were too cold to be on duty, so they all found a place to gather around the fire to warm themselves.
Qi Mingjing had already ordered coal with high sulfur content to be delivered, and no one noticed that the coal was mixed with other charcoal.
When coal is ignited, it directly emits a large amount of pungent smell. However, because this kind of coal is flammable and dissipates heat faster than anthracite, these people do not take it seriously. As a result, by the time they realize something is wrong, they have already Dizziness due to inhaling too much carbon monoxide and sulfur gases.
At this time, Qi Mingjing and others set fires everywhere again, leaving the people in the palace busy with themselves. In this way, Emperor Liao and his favorite sons were burned alive in the fire.
However, there was no mourning in the Liao Kingdom at this time, and Qi Mingjing was not sure whether the Liao Emperor was dead or not. Qi Mingjing still planned to visit the palace tonight.
At night, Qi Mingjing and the others put on a black hooded cloak and headed towards the palace.
The originally magnificent palace was now reduced to broken eaves and broken walls, and thick smoke was still rising from the ruins. It seemed that there was still a risk of the fire rekindling.
"Mo Hen, you said the palace of Liao Kingdom was fine, so why did it burn down?"
"It must be a punishment from God!"
