The fake eunuch who lurked in the palace

"Your Majesty, no gunpowder was detected. We checked carefully and found nothing." The guard came back and reported.

Prince Xi narrowed his eyes slightly and became suspicious. Could it be that Lu Yu was stalling for time, waiting for something?

No matter what he waits for, he can't succeed.

"Army attack!"

King Xi spoke in a solemn voice.

As soon as the army came out of the city gate, explosives prepared to deal with Li Yi suddenly exploded.

Not only was there a rumble at the city gate, but there were explosions in many places in Yizhou.

Prince Xi's Mansion and all the major aristocratic families were all patronized by gunpowder.

In such chaos, a cart of gunpowder was pushed to the city gate. As soon as the people evacuated, several rockets were fired at it.

There was a huge roar, leaving scars on the thick city gate, and it fell to the ground.

These changes made King Xi and others look shocked.

"Your Majesty, Lu Yu has moved, and the army is coming towards us at full speed!" The soldiers hurried to King Xi and reported.

King Xi looked at the panicked army and clenched his fists with hatred in his eyes.

Yizhou has carried out inspections again and again, but still failed to wipe out those people. At such a critical moment, they actually caused trouble.

hateful! ! !

King Xi’s teeth were almost bleeding.

"retreat!"

"Let everyone quit, Yizhou, let's give up!" King Xi said with a ruthless look on his face.

"Attack Bachang Mansion with all your strength!"

The morale of the army was in chaos and the city gate was destroyed. In this situation, it would be impossible to resist Lu Yu. They could only join up with the 100,000 troops led by Meng Han and take Bachang Prefecture directly. Use this as a stronghold to take Ninghe Prefecture.

By then, even if Zijing City cannot be attacked, we can still stabilize it first and then plan for follow-up.

"Commander, King Xi abandoned Yizhou and ran away with his people." A spy came to Li Yi and reported.

Li Yi frowned slightly, but he made a prompt decision.

"Commander, do you want to pursue me?" Yin Cheng looked at Li Yi for instructions.

Li Yi shook his head, "I'll chase you now. I'm sure I'll report to the Palace of Hell after an explosion."

"Let's straighten out Yizhou first."

"As for King Xi, after abandoning Yizhou, he will definitely attack other cities. Bachang Mansion will be the first choice. We have prepared good things on the two only roads from Yizhou to Bachang Mansion."

"It was originally used to deal with Meng Han's 100,000-strong army, but who knows, King Xi is more willing to enjoy it."

"Let the spies check the road."

Li Yi looked forward and said in a deep voice, he didn't want to be betrayed by King Xi.

"Commander, a total of twenty-two people were captured. Gunpowder was buried one mile outside the city gate and at the city gate."

Li Yi rubbed his head with his hands. Firearms are undoubtedly a good thing, but even if others take control of them, their safety is not guaranteed.

Looking back, we must strictly control it.

After repeated inspections to ensure that everything was safe, Li Yi led the army into Yizhou.

The top officials of Yizhou have already fled with King Xi, leaving mostly ordinary people behind.

In the rush, some small aristocratic families failed to follow King Xi's footsteps.

Now seeing Li Yi occupying Yizhou, everyone felt uneasy.

And Li Yi did not disappoint them. Just like in Zijing City, there was a bloodbath.

To rebel, you must have this consciousness.

Li Yi did not take any of the money he collected from the aristocratic family, but distributed it to the people of Yizhou.

Seeing that Li Yi did not massacre innocent people, but instead distributed money to them, the people, who had been brainwashed by King Xi, gradually recovered and seemed not so cruel.

"Commander, although there are still people who have fled Yizhou out of fear, overall, things have gradually stabilized."

Li Yi put down the tea cup, "Yin Cheng, I was afraid of disturbing your heart, so I didn't mention it before. Now, isn't it time to hand over the bet?"

"Commander, how can I have money when I'm away from home? When I get back to Zijing City, I will give it to you." Yin Cheng patted his chest and promised.

Li Yi tilted his head and said, "When I was here, if you wanted to default on your debt, I would forget about it, but now, you also know how tight my money is."

"If I can make a fortune, I will return to Zijing City. If I don't hand over the bet..."

"Hmph, I will increase the interest." Li Yi crossed his legs, looking like a landowner at this moment.

Yin Cheng touched his nose. It was hard to get away with this money. If he had known better, he would have gambled less. Being greedy is really unavoidable.

When he turned around, Yin Cheng thought of the news from Qingjun. In the spirit of losing alone, it is better to suffer losses than to lose others. Only by sharing the same fate can we love each other more. He did not hesitate to add insult to injury and told the story about Tang Zhengqi putting the blame on Li Yi.

"Commander, Colonel Tang is really going too far."

"Knowing that our ex-employee is in dire straits, we still do this."

"I just want to drain your blood."

"Such bad habits must never be allowed to continue. Heavy penalties must be imposed!" Yin Cheng's face was full of indignation.

Li Yi narrowed his eyes, what a boy, he's already bald, but he still dares to pluck it out!

"Yin Cheng, go and make a devil training plan. When you get back, you can relax our Tang Lieutenant's muscles and bones!"

"Yes."

Yin Cheng looked solemn, as if what they were talking about was extremely serious.

Although it was heartbreaking to lose money, Tang Zhengqi was much more miserable than him.

His little money was nothing compared to Tang Zhengqi.

He's really a guy looking for trouble. There's no easy way to get his money.

Especially now, he values ​​a single coin very seriously.

"Your Majesty, after Lu Yu entered Yizhou, he had no intention of pursuing him."

"He was cautious, and all my arrangements were in vain." King Xi said with annoyance in his eyes.

He wanted to cut people into pieces with thousands of swords, but he couldn't hurt them at all. This feeling made King Xi feel so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

"Your Majesty, gunpowder was found in the mountains and forests. There is a lot of gunpowder, enough for a cart."

After suffering losses, the spies were very busy along the way, not only detecting traps, but also detecting gunpowder.

It was almost until they were assured of safety that the army would move forward.

King Xi's eyes were dark. Lu Yu calculated that he would go to Bachang Mansion and set up an ambush on the only way he could pass, trying to give him another heavy blow.

However, how could he fall continuously in the same somersault?

"Collect the gunpowder and return it to him when the time comes." King Xi's voice was cold.

"Has anyone found the hidden person?"

The guard shook his head, "Maybe he saw an opportunity and ran away."

"Be careful and expand the search area." King Xi looked at the mountains and forests and said with a faint look.

After repeated investigations by spies to ensure that there was no danger, the army entered the mountains and forests.

From the time I entered to the time I came out, there was nothing unusual around me and everything was calm.

King Xi looked back with a sneer in his eyes, Lu Yu, do you think you can succeed again and again?

Whatever you do today, I will definitely ask you to repay it a hundred times in the future!

Suppressing the resentment in his heart, King Xi led the army and continued to advance towards Bachang Mansion.

Twenty miles away, on a mountainside, hundreds of people looked into the wind, and dozens of crude trebuchets stood in the wind.

Like the guards, they are waiting for the arrival of King Xi and others.

In the box at the back is an earthen jar.

The mouth of the earthen jar is a lead about the length of your hand.
