Chapter 253 Before the siege
After seeing the wound, Gui Bugui smiled and then continued to Zheng Jun: "These three eunuchs do whatever they do, where were they when they were struck by lightning?"
Zheng Jun replied: "Your Majesty knew that they were all detailed works sent by the King of Yan, so he left these three eunuchs by his side. He deliberately told them some news, and at this time, the three of them should be accompanying them. It was Wu Mianxian who said that they had a smell on their bodies, so they could let them come out to dissipate the smell. Unexpectedly, they were struck by lightning as soon as they walked out..."
Zheng Jun had not said anything. Wu Mian was playing chess with the little emperor. After Zhu Yunwen ate a big dragon, he suddenly turned his face and said that it was Shi Wanzhong, the three eunuchs Li Benyuan and Lei Xiao that had a strange smell on them, which was the chess he lost. At that moment, Wu Mian asked the three of them to come out for a walk to dissipate the smell on their bodies. Unexpectedly, the three of them were struck by lightning as soon as they left the palace. The white-haired man seemed to be waiting for this. While the three of them struck the three eunuchs, he used magic to transform into a huge thunder and lightning dragon and rushed towards the position where the lightning was set in the air.
At that time, Zheng Jun could see clearly that the giant dragon seemed to hit something. A figure fell down from the dark clouds. It seemed that a monk was planning to cast spells to harm the emperor. However, Wu Mian discovered the trace and a counterattack killed him from the sky.
"That's right." Gui Bugui smiled and continued, "If the three of them were not driven out, they had already taken His Majesty to the underworld together just now.
Lord Qianhu, let you take a closer look at the Yan army. What should have been hit by Wu Mian just now? Let me tell you that the man was a monk along the way. Even though I knew that Wu Mian and I were by the emperor, I dared to do such small actions..."
When the Zheng army was told whether to return or not, a body that was beaten into charcoal by lightning outside the city was transported to Zhu Di's military tent. After taking a look at the scorched corpse, Zhu Di said to his general in his fifties: "Is there any news in the palace? How about Zhu Yunwen..."
"Your Highness, there is no news in the palace yet, but according to the last general, the emperor should not have been hit by lightning. If something really happens, Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and others have come out to trouble Your Highness." After the old general replied - sentence, he explained to Yao Guangxiao: "Zen Master, Your Highness is not intentionally hiding you. But he doesn't know the details of Jiang Lei. He only said that his thunder control method is unique. Your Highness doesn't believe this person. He originally thought that he would recommend him to the Zen Master later and ask the Zen Master to check his abilities. Who would have thought that Jiang Lei would take action without authorization and almost ruin your highness's major affairs."
The person who spoke was Qiu Fu, a famous general under Zhu Di, but he had always been responsible for leading troops to fight, but now he was a bit strange about Jiang Lei. It seems that King Yan has not revealed his true meaning to Yao Guangxiao, as if there should be more than one monk like Jiang Lei.
Although Yao Guangxiao saw through the trick, he seemed to know nothing. He smiled softly and said to Qiu Fu: "General Qiu is polite, but monk, I have heard of this Jiang Lei cultivator. He is known as the son of the official Thunder God, and the law of controlling thunder is unparalleled in the world. Now it seems that he is bragging..."
While speaking, Yao Guangxiao pointed to the charred corpse that looked like black charcoal and said, "This is the method of the alchemist, it should be Wu Mian's hand. It is not the monk who has increased the ambition of the white-haired man. It seems that Wu Mian has not used all his strength. He wants to keep the body to shock us. If Wu Mian used all the magic, the corpse of this Jiang Lei monk would not have remained. It would have long turned into smoke and dust and dissipated..."
Yao Guangxiao said two words, and Zhu Di and their generals kept getting cold on their backs. They thought that even if this monk who was bragging about the sarcastic style was not as good as Wu Mian, they suddenly caught him off guard. In addition, the target was the little emperor Zhu Yunwen, so they were not aimed at this white-haired man. There were Shi Wanzhong, Li Benyuan and Lei Xiao, who should have been inseparable from each other. Who would have thought that the white-haired man had become so powerful that Jiang Lei had no room for fight back... Originally, Zhu Di was hoping that Yao Guangxiao could use magic to conquer Zhu Yunwen, but later the monk vowed not to use such a small way in front of Wu Mian and Gui Bugui. If Yao Guangxiao could use magic to help him, what would have happened now would not have happened.
Seeing that the monk had just taken out several million taels of gold, Zhu Di smiled bitterly and said to Yao Guangxiao: "Young Master, Jiang Lei's magic trick was blocked. Now it seems that if he wants to take down the capital, he can only rely on the army to attack. When Gao Chi and Gao Xu bring the troops back, our army will launch thirteen routes. At the same time, attack the thirteen gates of the capital..."
"Your Highness, monk Shu said too much. You can't wait until the two princes come back." Before the King of Yan finished speaking, Yao Guangxiao interrupted him. After pausing, it continued: "Gui Bugui just took over the Sishui. They can transport military rations from overseas to defend the city. If they use the money from the Sishui to borrow troops from Persia, Tianzhu and other places, the current good situation will be missed. By then, Peiping may not be able to defend..."
When he said this, Gui Bugui paused. After glanced around the faces of King Yan and other generals, he continued: "If you want to take down the capital, you must have a result within a few days..."
"You will attack the capital within a few days..." Zhu Di slowly glanced at Yao Guangxiao, and then continued: "Young Master, if you can use your magical power to hold Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and the other two, as long as you can hold them for one time... In half an hour, I will be sure to attack the capital. As long as you enter the palace and catch Zhu Yunwen, even Wu Mian, a great monk like Gui Bugui will be unable to turn the world..."
"Your Highness, the monk can only give advice and cannot apply magic to the battlefields of the two armies. You know this..." After looking at Zhu Di, who was slightly disappointed, Yao Guangxiao continued: "And your nobleman is too fond of the monk. Even if the monk uses all his skills, he will not be able to trap Wu Mian. Gui Bugui and the other two have been half an hour. Perhaps the army has not yet reached the foot of the capital, and the monk has entered the cycle of reincarnation again..."
After Yao Guangxiao finished speaking, King Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Without the help of the young army, even if the army reaches the foot of the capital, they will go to reincarnation together. Just now, I could see clearly in the military camp that a giant dragon could transform into the palace. We are all flesh and blood, how can we fight with the giant dragon?"
"Your Highness relied on the monk's magic, but because of the strategy of the monk, the monk was planning and the army went all the way to fight. Did you forget the way to use troops at the foot of the capital?" If this sentence came from the second person's mouth, the generals in the tent had already dismembered him. But now that Yao Guangxiao said this, Zhu Di fell silent.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Di smiled at Yao Guangxiao, and then said self-deprecatingly: "The Young Master is right. When I arrived at the foot of the capital, my king's courage became smaller and smaller. It was supposed to be a large army of hundreds of thousands of people who had siege the capital, but now it is just a few defeated soldiers inside. What else are there to worry about?"
When he said this, Zhu Di paused. Then he bowed to Yao Guangxiao. Then he continued, "I fought all the way to the capital, relying on the young master's skillful plan. Now I'm asking the young master to give advice on how to capture the capital..."
Seeing Zhu Di saluting to him, Yao Guangxiao hurriedly returned the saluting and said, "If Your Highness can trust the monk, then hand over the other monks with Jiang Lei to the monk. When Your Highness personally leads the army to attack the city, Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and others will never appear..."
