Chapter 39 Small Shazhou, the strong soldiers on the 2nd bank have not stopped

King Jin slept very soundly this time, and he didn't even have a dream.When I opened my eyes, it was already bright outside.Turning his head to look, there was no one beside the pillow.No need to ask, at this time Hei boy must have woken up to practice. King Jin stretched out his hand and gently stroked the quilt that was still warm, feeling unspeakably comfortable in his heart.

Logically speaking, the brocade quilt and silk pillow should be soft, but there is clearly something hard and sticky under the quilt, and when you pick it up, it turns out to be the red stone that Meditation usually hangs around his neck.Perhaps it was due to the accidental break of the knot, the stone slipped into the quilt, King Jin took it in his palm on a whim and began to play with it carefully.That stone is neither a precious treasure, nor has it been artificially carved. Looking from left to right, it is really ordinary.Because it has been attached to the skin for a long time, the surface of the stone is soaked in oil and sweat, making it smooth and bright, as if coated with a layer of glaze.

The more King Jin thought about it, the more he found it interesting. Shen Xiaowu's background was considered to be a general after all, but he didn't wear gold and silver, and he didn't wear beads or emeralds. He just liked to tie a stone around his neck. He was really a weird kid.But if you think about it carefully, this stone is more contemplative than gold, silver, pearls and emeralds.

Putting the stone away carefully, King Jin slowly sat up.The attendant outside the door heard the movement, and hurried in with a set of toilet utensils to serve.King Jin was served to comb his hair and put on his clothes, and then he walked out of the bed tent slowly.Sure enough, Shen Si was dancing his sword in the open space in front of the tent.

The red sun is rising, everything is shining, the water is soupy, and the mountains are majestic.Shen Si is holding a long sword, and she is dancing gracefully, with a biting wind.The cold light flowed and swirled on the blade, dazzling people's eyes.I saw that his posture was light and nimble like a flying goose piercing the clouds for a while, and he was as vigorous as a tiger descending the mountain for a while, and his gestures were indescribably chic, elegant and heroic.

"Kill a person in ten steps, never stay behind for a thousand miles, brush off your clothes when it's over, and hide yourself and your name..." Although it was not the first time to watch Shensi Wujian, King Jin couldn't help but shouted hello.Feeling itchy for a while, he pulled the saber from Tu Mo'er's waist to meet him and challenge Shen Si Guo.The two fought for more than a dozen rounds, even though Shen Si intended to give in, King Jin was still defeated.Although he is also a military commander and has some basic skills, but compared to Shen Si who was proficient in actual combat in the military camp since he was a child, that little skill can only be called Huaquanxiuqi.

The king of Jin was convinced by the defeat, and his heart was full of joy: "Hahaha, Nianqing, I don't know who you learned your riding and martial arts from. The apprentice is so outstanding, isn't the master going to be extraordinary?"

Shen Si smiled very proudly: "I'm not humble enough to say that I was born to be good at fighting on horseback. I heard from my family that when I hadn't learned how to speak, my third brother put me on the horse's back. On the road, I walked away temporarily, not wanting that the horse was not tied firmly, and rushed out after chasing a filly, which shocked everyone around me, thinking that my life must be lost, but the horse ran wild After a long circle, I returned to the original place, and I was still sitting firmly on the horseback."

Listening to Shen Si's story about his childhood, the strange scene of a little monkey crawling on the horse's back unconsciously appeared in King Jin's mind. With two shiny saliva strips...

Inadvertently mentioning the family, the contemplative tone inevitably reveals a little bit of loss: "In the past, Shuai Shen was busy with military affairs, and several older brothers took turns to take care of me. The eldest brother was too generous, and the second brother was taciturn. When I was young, I was very stubborn. The only one who can control me is the third brother." He sighed faintly, "You only think that I am good at kung fu, but you don't know that my third brother is several times stronger than me, and I will be taught by him every move. He came out. He usually behaves humorously, but he is very strict in teaching people. When I first learned archery, my arm strength was very weak, and I couldn’t draw the bow. I also set up a sharpened iron awl. As long as I loosen the strength of my arm a little, a small blood hole will be pierced in my chest. Brother got angry and quarreled, and even secretly sprinkled sand into his rice bowl, now that I think about it, I really shouldn't..."

King Jin also sighed, and patted Shensi on the shoulder to comfort him: "Oh, the so-called 'people grow up hating water and Changdong', who can live without regrets? Just remember 'have wine and enjoy yourself, cherish the people in front of you' ' That's it." As he spoke, he took Shensi's shoulders, turned and walked towards the tent, "Breakfast has been prepared, it's all your favorite food, you can eat it after a short rest."

Shen Si obediently followed King Jin and took two steps, then suddenly stopped: "Huh?" He put his hand to his neck and fumbled quickly, and then frowned.

Upon seeing this, King Jin asked knowingly, "What? Is there something missing?"

"Shouzhi, have you ever seen a red stone? It's the one I usually hang around my neck. It's about the size..." Shensi clasped his fingers indiscriminately and drew a shape. He couldn't wait for King Jin to answer, and then "thumped Teng" ran back to the tent in a few steps, lifted the bed and rummaged through it.

King Jin followed behind with a smile and asked, "Red stone? Is it very valuable?"

When he asked this question, he had another idea.Seeing that Shen Si felt nervous because of the stone, he didn't want to hand over the things quickly. It's gratifying that the little hozen is docile, but the appearance of always frowning but helpless is the most distressing. Why don't you take this opportunity to do more? tease him?

Shen Si put the quilt aside, searched around for a long time and still found nothing, seeing King Jin's question, he flattened his mouth in frustration: "It's not a rare thing, but I picked it from the top of Lanyue Mountain in my hometown. It’s just a piece of stone. On the day when Bo Ling and I exchanged scores and tied Jinlan, I cut this stone as an oath, and it’s a commemoration to keep it with me for so many years.”

Hearing this, King Jin slowly withdrew the hand that was about to reach into his bosom to fetch the stones. He squinted his eyes and watched silently in thought, and calmly suggested: "Oh...so that's the case. Since it's sworn brotherhood The keepsake is naturally very meaningful. I saw you wearing it when you took a bath yesterday, so you must have lost it accidentally while walking by the river. Don’t worry, I will send more people to help you find it later.”

"Forget it," Shen Si immediately shook his head and refused, "In the face of a great enemy, the first thing to do is to fight. There is no reason to go looking for some stones with great fanfare."

King Jin deliberately dealt with it so ostentatiously. Naturally, he was sure that Shen Si would put the overall situation first, so he didn't insist much, and just pulled Shen Si to eat.

Although Shen Si said it lightly, she felt a little bit reluctant to lose the things that had been with her for several years like this.In ten years, thousands of miles across the country, Shi Zi is a testimony of his life-and-death relationship with Wei You, and also represents a promise he made to Wei You.Just as he was sighing, the hand was held up by the king of Jin. Looking at the high-ranking but considerate man beside him, he pondered for a while, and his heart suddenly sank. Yes, the king of Jin also wants to win the world, and his purpose of winning the world is still For myself.Once the army is raised, there is no turning back!What about Wei You?His father was forced to death and his mother was raped. He endured humiliation for 20 years, isn't he also determined to win the throne?

If one day Emperor Xuanzheng falls, will King Jin and Wei You fight to the death for the Great Zhou Dynasty?On the one hand, they are childhood sweethearts, and on the other hand, they know each other and promise to share weal and woe. A man promises to keep his promise, but King Jin treats him as deeply as the sea, and he will definitely live up to his reason...

Seeing that his pensive expression gradually darkened, King Jin felt like a stick in his throat.First, Ning Cheng was willing to risk his life for that person in the first battle, and then called out that person's name in his sleep, and now he is still uneasy about an old thing related to that person, which shows that Wei You holds a lot of weight in Shen Si's heart.As the saying goes, Taoist clothes are not as good as new ones, and people are not as good as old ones. If you get to know each other happily when you are young, you still miss old friends when you are old.

King Jin has been in love for decades, and he has always been able to take it easy and take it easy. He has never tried to be jealous, and he never thought that the first encounter was for a stupid little monkey.But what can he do?Shensi is his hard-won treasure, and it's not him who trembles with the apex of his heart when it's cold or hot?

That's all, but fortunately, he has already cultivated the ability of "duplicity between the outside and the inside". No matter how much displeasure is hidden in his bones, he can still be soft-spoken and caring on the surface.King Jin put on a coat for Shen Si, and took a handkerchief from the attendant to help Shen Si wipe off the fine sweat on his forehead, his movements were as gentle as caring for a baby.

Being surrounded by attendants and soldiers like this, he was a little unaccustomed to contemplating, he raised his hand in a little embarrassment and lightly blocked it: "Okay, keep it, don't take care of me too carefully, in case I get spoiled by arrogance, One day it would be impossible without you."

King Jin smiled heartily: "I'm just wishing for it! When you can't leave me for a moment, I can tie you, an arrogant and unreasonable wild monkey, to my side... Sigh, sometimes I really want to take root The rope will bind you, and you will not let go for the rest of your life..."

Before he had eaten a few mouthfuls of food, the general on duty at the gate sent someone to rush back to answer: "Report to the lord, Gu Mingzhen's former vanguard Cui Xiu is leading troops outside the camp to call for battle."

King Jin scooped up a spoonful of hot porridge, put it on his lips and blew on it, without lifting his eyelids: "You have scolded some nasty things, tell me the truth."

The other party hesitated for a moment, then replied tremblingly: "That guy uttered obscene words, said... said... that the prince is a sanctimonious, shameless old whore, and asked the prince why he dared not go to war because he was promiscuous day and night. Deficient and vain, unable to ride a horse or carry a gun..."

Shen Si was swallowing his food as if there was no one else around, and almost didn't spit out when he heard this. He blushed and stole a glance at King Jin, who knew that King Jin looked calm and composed.With his mouth full of rice grains, Shen Si muttered inarticulately: "Hey, I can still laugh."

Jin Wang took a chopsticks dish for Shen Si, then sneaked into his ear and smiled mysteriously: "It's really ugly, but this king likes to listen closely. Do you know that he scolded me a few days ago? What? Tossing and turning is nothing but ungrateful, forgetful ancestors, no king and no father..." As he spoke, Xiang Shen winked meaningfully.

Shen Si instantly understood what King Jin meant. From Cui Qianfeng's insults, he could tell that Gu Mingzhen already knew about his visit to the military camp. He thought he was well-informed. Deployment adds a helping hand...

The king of Jin concentrated on admiring the contemplative eating, and waited until Shen Xiaowu ate everything that could be eaten on the table before he stood up slowly: "Let's go, Nianqing, put on makeup. , we are going to make our debut again."

The two left their sleeping tents and went straight to the cook's camp.Princess Crimson had a sudden whim, and directly locked up several prisoners near the residence for the convenience of interrogation.Although this move is absurd, everyone below knows that the princess has a tricky and weird temper, and no one dares to criticize it.Just out of safety considerations, I didn't dare to let those chattering little girls take care of themselves, and assigned a few sergeants to guard the tent, euphemistically called "assisting" the princess.

Although he was going to investigate the captives, King Jin held Shen Si's hand as usual and never let go.Since the two of them opened their hearts yesterday, it's like a magnet installed, and they are inseparable when they are attracted together.

The tent used to hold the captives was originally a small warehouse, dark and damp and smelled like horse manure. As soon as King Jin walked in, he covered his nose and mouth in disgust.The few people were tied to a wooden frame with five flowers, and rags were stuffed in their mouths. Their faces and bodies were covered with blood and sweat, and they were terribly pickled.King Jin paced past several people, looked at them one by one with great interest, shook his head exaggeratedly after seeing them, and said, "Tsk tsk, Gu Mingzhen's eyesight is so bad that there is no one under him who is more upright." Going to see Shen Si, a pair of phoenix eyes are very ambiguous.

He sat down in deep thought, the head of the crimson princess had already spoken according to Professor Gu Zhuozi's words: "Listen, from ancient times to the present, those who know the current affairs are the heroes, and those who want to survive should obey obediently Joining my Jin army, I will follow the rules and keep myself safe in the future, so I can have a bright future..."

Women have always been taboo in the military camp, even those who are as distinguished as princesses are no exception.She lobbied a lot in that nondescript place, but all the soldiers and generals present were secretly waiting to see the jokes, and even the captives didn't take her seriously, completely ignoring her hard-working speeches.

Putting his daughter in an embarrassing situation, instead of rescuing her, the King of Jin flirted with meditation leisurely.Seeing Shen Si sitting beside him with his back straight, he quietly reached out and pinched Shen Si's buttocks from behind.People who meditate and practice martial arts have always been keenly aware of his actions early in the morning. Due to the distraction of many people, it was inconvenient to displease King Jin, so they just clasped two fingers backhand calmly, and easily caught King Jin's hand. At the same time, he bit his lips and reprimanded in a low voice: "Guardian, you are acting as a romantic prince, not a prodigal son. I am playing the male favorite of the palace, not a prostitute."

"Oh? Is Nianqing complaining that the king's drama is too much?" King Jin breathed into Shen Si's ear with his tone, until half of Shen Si's face turned red.He pretended to withdraw his hand, but when he was distracted by contemplation, he struck at his waist again.Shen Si had no choice but to quickly twist his body to bounce him away when King Jin almost got it.In this scene, he thought he was pretending to be impeccable, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was a real flirting.

After making a fuss for quite a while, until Shen Si was really annoyed, King Jin took his people away with a lot of intentions.As soon as the large group of people left, the pawns who guarded the prisoners gathered together to discuss enthusiastically.

A fat man with big ears and oily face started the conversation first: "Brothers, brothers, let me tell you something rare, brothers, who knows what happened in the prince's tent last night? "

When everyone saw him making a fool of himself, they all thought that he was about to start a storytelling session, and all of them pricked up their ears energetically, and stretched their necks so long.

After satisfying everyone's appetite, the fat man proclaimed cheaply: "I told you, you can't believe that our lord came to show off his might last night and fought with Mr. Shen for [-] rounds. The big carved bed has collapsed.”

A skinny little man scratched his head and asked in bewilderment, "Fight? How serious is the fight?"

Immediately, four or five hands patted the back of his head: "You two balls! Take off your clothes and fight with your dick!" Immediately there was a burst of suppressed laughter from all around.

However, some people expressed doubts: "Sun Sangou talks a lot, and he can listen to at least [-]% or [-]% of the ten out of ten. Then how do you know what the prince Qiantui is doing behind closed doors?"

The oily fat man surnamed Sun got even more excited when he heard this: "Why did you lie to you? Why did you lie to you? Zhang Damaniu, a carpenter doing odd jobs, is my brother-in-law, and he told me this secretly. You don't want to go around blind Pass it on, let the prince Qiantui know who is chewing his tongue, and he will kill you if he sees it!"

"Little man" is an honest person, he can say whatever he wants in his heart: "It's really weird, this Mr. Shen is not a great beauty, how come we are so fascinated by our lord?"

"Fatty Fatty" rolled his eyes and said, "What do you know, the master who is used to delicacies from mountains and seas often wants to change to cabbage to relieve his greasy crookedness."

There is also a slightly older steward in this group of people. Seeing that the conversation is getting farther and farther, he hastened to stop it: "Shh, the trouble comes from the mouth, so be careful, brothers, do you want to have your head chopped off for criticizing the prince in private?" ?” After everyone shrank their necks and calmed down, he glared at the fat man angrily, “Didn’t I say you Sun Sangou, Mr. Shen is cabbage? Even if it is, it’s hard to buy jadeite cabbage. Don’t Said that my brother didn't remind you guys, Mr. Shen is the most proud person in front of the prince, he just wants the stars and the moon in the sky, the prince also immediately sent someone to get it for him."

After a long silence, the "little man" sighed in an old-fashioned way: "Oh, what a mess, the lord's mind is useless in fighting, so when Mr. Shen comes, how can he deal with Gu Mingzhen? Don't laugh at me, I I can’t afford to lose this little life, I’m a single heir to three generations, and there’s a blind old lady who’s in her tens of years and no one to take care of her.”

When marching outside, the most indelible thing is the feeling of homesickness. Everyone bowed their heads and looked sad after hearing this.The person in charge also sighed: "Okay, you're a coward, you have to take your dog's life seriously. Let me tell you, kid, don't be a coward when you really go to the battlefield tomorrow. You Do you think you can save your life by hiding in the back? If the front line of Zezhou loses its defense, the surnamed Gu will go all the way to Jinyang City. At that time, the whole Jinyuan will be lost. You still want the cat to stay with you at home Is the blind old lady going to live in peace? Hurry up and dig a hole, mother and son, jump in and bury it together, it is true."

The group of people were horrified when they heard the words, and asked in a hurry: "Didn't it be said the day before yesterday that Pingyang Mansion and Lu'an Mansion each had 20 elite troops stationed? They also said that there are generals guarding Zezhou at any time. Even if Zezhou If the state is defeated, you can retreat to those two places to defend against the enemy?"

The steward looked around and confirmed that all the people left in the tent except for the few captives were his own people, then he bowed his head and said in a low voice: "I don't even look at the identities of you bastards, the prince, the general Can you tell me about your plan? The Pingyang Mansion and Lu’an Mansion are all nonsense, they are just to scare Gu Mingzhen. I don’t want to pat your Ben’er, think about it, how many people are there in Jinyuan? How many troops? How many people are there in total? Zezhou has gathered 10,000+, and 10,000+ will be sent to Zhending Mansion to stop the invasion of the Zuojun Governor's Mansion. The rest will naturally be kept in Jinyang. It’s up there. You count with your paws, what’s left?”

Hearing what he said, it really made some sense. Everyone looked at you and you looked at me, and they all became uneasy about the unknown future, and the atmosphere in the tent became gloomy and depressed.

Not far away, those captives were hung high on the shelves like meat fans for sale, with their feet drooping and their heads drooping. Only the occasional rolling of their eyelids could prove that they were still alive...

As for how to interrogate the captives, Princess Crimson, a golden branch and jade leaf in the deep house of the palace where she grew up since childhood, naturally has no clue.She wanted to continue to fake the golden gourd, but she didn't want the king of Jin to send someone to call the golden gourd to question him, but it was past noon and he hadn't released him yet.In desperation, the princess had no choice but to ask Gu Zhuozi for advice.

Gu Fuzi twirled his lips and mustache and shook his folding fan, shook his head and brain for a long time and only gave two sentences: "Coercion and temptation, both hard and soft, understand it with reason and move it with emotion."

Everything in the world is easy to know but difficult to do, Gu Zhuozi touched his upper and lower lips, and it was enough for the princess to be busy.The so-called coercion and lure, both hard and soft, naturally starts with the establishment of "prestige".It is said that as soon as the criminals sent by the exile arrive at the border town, they will always be given more than ten or twenty sticks first, in order to kill the arrogance on their bodies.

Princess Crimson ordered someone to bring the armchair over and put it in the tent. She sat up with great posture and raised her voice to ask: "You don't want to suffer from flesh and blood, so you answer truthfully, why did Gu Mingzhen and Paier sneak into Jinyang?" What is his secret deployment? How about the military supplies? Who will support him?" Seeing that the pedestrian still pretended to be deaf and dumb and refused to speak, she slapped her palm on the mahogany handrail. The means of the princess? The princess is happy to be fulfilled! Come on, use the punishment!"

What should be done and how to do it, naturally, the princess does not need to do it himself.The guarded pawns immediately took the branding iron, put it into the charcoal fire and burned it until it was red, stripped off the captives' shirts, and stamped them on their chests.

When the soldering iron touched the flesh, there was a "chi la" sound, white smoke rose instantly, the smell of burnt flesh permeated, the wound had already been scalded, and blood dripped out from all around.Even a seven-foot-tall man couldn't help crying "Aww", it was so miserable.The pain was excruciating, and those few people struggled to curse, calling the prince an old man and the princess a witch.After hearing this, the pawns were naturally more vicious in their attacks. They moved out two inches of the soldering iron and printed on it again. If they fainted from the pain, they poured cold water to wake them up.

It was the first time Princess Crimson saw this kind of scene, and she felt horrified. She kept her composure on the outside, and her hands and feet could not stop shivering.In front of him was a row of men with bruised skin and bruised bodies, and the scorched smell of burned flesh filled the surroundings, making one sick.The princess's stomach kept churning, and she held on for a long time, and finally one of them couldn't hold it back, and ran to the corner to support the pillar and vomited.

The little girls hurriedly fetched water to help the princess wash her hands and rinse her mouth, and applied some medicated oil on the forehead for the princess to calm her mind and stop vomiting.The princess finally calmed down a bit, and then looked back at those people, all of them were drowsy and twitched, almost unconscious from the torture, she waved her hand in annoyance: "Forget it, let's get out first. People I'm already in a coma, what's the use of torture? Let's put the person down to take a breath, and put some ointment on the wound first, if the person dies like this, what else will the princess use to deal with the father!"

Don't look at her yelling, beating, killing and yelling fiercely on weekdays, if she really wants to kill someone, she can't be cruel no matter what.

The pawn in charge of the guard was a little hesitant: "If... this is untied, in case someone escapes..."

"Idiot!" The princess scolded, "I only have half my life left, what are you going to do? Besides, are you eating for free? A group of people with complete hands and feet can't stand a few seriously injured people?"

The pawns nodded obediently, and hurriedly untied him from the high shelf.Those people don't need to be watched at all, they have already collapsed to the ground like mud, motionless.

Princess Crimson was about to step out when she heard a voice on the ground calling vaguely, "Water...water..." She wanted to ignore it, but as she walked, the voice always lingered in her ears, "Water... Water..." It seemed that if you don't drink the saliva, you will die in the next moment.Gritting her teeth and taking a few steps, she finally couldn't take it anymore, turned around and stomped her feet and shouted: "Go and feed those guys some water, it's still useful to save their lives!"

The food in the barracks was already lacking in flavor, and the princess just vomited out half of the pancakes that she managed to swallow after waking up early. It was time for dinner, and she was already so hungry that her chest was stuck to her back, but Looking at the hard pancakes and a small piece of charred meat jerky on the table, it was really hard to swallow.In particular, the smell of barbecue jerky always reminded her of the horrible scene of torture in the afternoon. No matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't suppress the urge to retch.

The little girls gathered around with red eyes, and muttered pitifully: "Oh, I'm still in our house, I really want to eat the sliced ​​noodles made by Zhang Chef, the braised pork, and the crispy cheese made by Yu Mazi, which contains ginseng. Rock sugar and rice wine, not to mention how delicious..." As they spoke, they all salivated.

One of the youngest girls rubbed her fingers and suggested: "Princess Princess, how about...you go to the prince and ask him if you have something to ask. At this time, the other end of the big tent must be eating, and he will always keep you Come down and eat something good."

Princess Crimson shook her head stubbornly and said: "Go, go, this princess is a hero among women, poor and humble can't be moved, mighty and can't be subdued, how can she be bent for mere appetite!" Her big eyes flickered and blinked a few times, and suddenly she had an idea "That's right! When we came back just now, didn't we see a group of soldiers carrying pork and flour into the kitchen? Anyway, it's not far away, and there is no one at this time, so let's go and get some out quietly, and make noodles by ourselves how?"

The little girls were used to being lawless, and they all nodded and applauded when they heard this: "What the princess said is very true!" Before the command, they each assigned tasks, "I will light the fire!" "I will handle the spoon!"" I'll knead the noodles!" "I'll chop the vegetables!"

It was past dinner time, and the camp was quiet except for a few patrolling guards at the gate.This place is located behind the Chinese army and backed by the cliff, so there is no need to worry about being attacked by the enemy, and the guards are naturally not very strict.When dusk fell and the surrounding fields were dark, Princess Crimson led a group of little girls to fly in like sparrows. Some brought water, some started a stove, and some quickly rummaged for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Soon, fresh meat, flour, lard, and some spices were all placed on the case. In order to prevent being discovered, everyone walked around on tiptoe, not daring to let out the atmosphere, and chopped vegetables lightly with the tip of a knife. Gently rub back and forth.The smoke from the firewood will drift out to alert the guards, so first cover it with a large paulownia wood cover...

Just when everyone was gearing up for a big fight, someone sniffed and muttered in a low voice: "I must be so greedy, why did I smell the fragrance before I started cooking?" I can't stop laughing.

The little girl next to her sniffed: "Hey, I smelled it too, it smells so good..."

At this time, other people also noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly searched around, a little girl with sharp eyes screamed "Oh my god", pointed to the corner and said, "Quick, look, it's on fire! "

After being reminded by her, everyone turned their gazes over, and saw that the face pockets behind the pillars were emitting green smoke. The smoke gathered and became thicker, and soon turned into billowing black smoke, and the flames sprang up immediately. Climbing up the wooden beams, it burned through the dome of the tent in the blink of an eye.

Someone yelled: "Run!" The little girls surrounded the princess and rushed out, and when they escaped to a safer open space, the tents behind them became a sea of ​​flames.

The guards beat the gong to deliver the message: "Fire! Fire!"

Not long after, a large group of people rushed over with the fire extinguisher, pumped up the water and sprayed it towards the fire scene.It's a pity that the weather is dry in autumn, and a large amount of rice grains and firewood are piled up in the tent, all of which are flammable. In an instant, the fire, with the help of the wind and the wind, swept through several nearby tents like a raging tide, and half of the hillside was illuminated by the flames. It's like daytime.

The princess was so anxious that she turned around in a hurry, pointed at a few little girls and said, "Which one is so desperate to cause such a disaster? Is it knocked over the lantern or splashed sparks? Didn't they all say to be extremely careful? You guys ……you……"

The cook camp was next to the big warehouse, where all the food, grass and supplies of the whole army were stored. Once several warehouses were burned down, the Jin army would be destroyed without attack, and even the heavenly soldiers and the future would be hard to stop.At night, it is strictly prohibited to use fire and candles, and they are the only ones who come in and out. They must be the culprit of the fire!

Thinking of this, the princess grabbed a water gun and was about to rush into the fire. Fortunately, there were soldiers guarding in front of her, who stopped her in time.The little girls rushed a few steps and knelt down on the ground with a "puff", grabbed her by the hem of her clothes and begged: "Princess, calm down! The princess must not be in danger!"

At this time, the personal guards of King Jin also arrived, and immediately formed a circle to protect the princess: "Princess, my subordinates are waiting for the order of the prince to pick up the princess, please follow me quickly." Wait to go to the big tent of the Chinese army."

The princess was completely anxious, completely disregarding her identity and appearance, she yelled with disheveled hair and straight neck: "Leave me alone! Leave me alone! The princess can protect herself well, if you don't go to fight the fire, go to the granary! Once destroyed, father and king will be finished!"

Blessings come, and misfortunes never come singly. When the princess is in a state of anxiety, another person rushes over, out of breath, and throws herself down at the princess's feet: "Report, report to the princess! Those captives...then A few captives just... ran away! They took advantage of the chaos to stun the guards, grabbed their horses and ran away!"

"What did you say? You ran away?" The princess widened her eyes angrily, and kicked him to the ground, "How did you run away? How did you run away? What are you all doing! You bastard! Idiot! Trash!" She stomped her feet fiercely, turned around and ran towards the stables, shouting as she ran, "Snow Blade, Red Tassel, Seven Star Dual Spear, get the sword quickly, and follow the Princess to tie up those captives!"

She was already guilty of the accidental fire, and if she escaped for the captives, it would be an added crime, an unforgivable crime!

Before running far, the guards chased up from behind, trying to stop the princess, but the princess couldn't hold back under the agitation of emotions. Several guards exchanged glances and simply carried her on their shoulders: "Princess, The subordinates are so offended! It is indeed the order of the prince that cannot be disobeyed, so please ask the princess to move the main tent to see the prince now..."

The soaring flames quickly engulfed the cook camp, and continued to attack all around.The tent where the prisoners were held was nearby, and the tent was already filled with smoke.The sand and stone on the ground became hotter and hotter, and the billowing heat wave rose from the soles of the feet, baking everything in the room, and the whole tent seemed to be on fire by itself in the next moment.

Because of the order of the princess, no one is allowed to leave the guard without dispatch, so the soldiers are nervously watching the outside world.Seeing that the fire was getting hotter and hotter and getting closer, the few people finally couldn't bear it anymore, and jointly recommended the person in charge to go out to ask the princess for instructions.

The steward went out and never returned, and I don't know if he left his brothers and fled alone.The few remaining people waited anxiously at the tent door, the flame approached step by step, one hundred feet, eighty feet, sixty feet, no one knew what to do at this moment.Run, if you survive, you will be punished by military law, if you don't run, there is no guarantee that you will be burned to black charcoal...

Behind them, the captives lay dying on the ground. Even if they couldn't see the astonishing fire outside, they could still perceive what happened from the rapidly heating up ground and the shouts of firefighters.They are all well-trained soldiers who can make relatively calm judgments in any harsh environment. Seeing that the attention of the guards was attracted by the fire, they exchanged glances calmly and agreed with each other tacitly. Using their fingers to whisper to each other, one, two, three, and the third finger spread out, they jumped up at the same time, took any object at hand that could be used as a weapon, and struck at the soldiers' necks and back of the head with lightning speed. hit the past.

Several pawns fell to the ground one after another "plop plop plop" before they heard the noise.Regardless of the injuries on their bodies, the captives gritted their teeth and randomly pulled off the pawn's clothes and put them on.

One of them was injured too badly, the wound on his stomach was torn, and blood was pouring out Gulu Gulu. He saw the "little man"'s belt can be used to bandage the wound, and he stretched out his hand to pull it down. The "little man" was completely knocked out, and he was woken up by the effort, and he was about to grab his belt back when he got up. Several people around rushed up to help, and punched the "little man" in the face several times, until the bridge of his nose collapsed and the corners of his mouth collapsed. spurting blood. The "little man" didn't know where the strength came from. He held on to one end of his belt and refused to let go. The captives were afraid that he would attract more pursuers if he made a noise, so they gathered up all their strength and kicked him out with a chest kick. He hit the wooden frame straight, fell to the ground again, and was silent again.

The captives didn't dare to act hastily. They opened a corner of the curtain and peeked out for a while. Seeing that the outside world was full of people on their backs and no one noticed it, they simply slipped out along the shadows.Near Cooker Camp, there is a separate stable with Hequ horses specially used for carrying luggage.The wind blows the smell of horse manure far away, and it is easy to find the direction of the stables by nose.

After several prisoners got on their horses and drifted away, the steward who said he was going out to ask for instructions stood up from behind the haystack on one side. He patted the grass leaves stuck to his body, adjusted his expression, and pretended to be panicked. I ran to report to the princess...

The pawns guarding the captives were all arranged by the King of Jin. They deliberately found a few "crooked melons and cracked dates", and they were weak and incompetent one by one just by looking at their appearance.The words were also purposely spoken to the captives. Pingyang Mansion and Lu'an Mansion did not have reinforcements, and the reinforcements were ambushed on the way Wang "fleeed" back to Jinyang.Being obsessed with masculinity and not minding political affairs is naturally an act for the captives to see.
