7 The second night of missing... in Yangzhou City.

The horse path leading to the city entrance is filled with various guardians, rolling wood and beating stones. A large iron pot is set up every hundred steps, and boiling hot tung oil is burned in the pot.

The walls of the battlements and the enemy station were full of people. The soldiers of the Longwu Army held torches in their hands and were staring closely outside the dark city. Although they could not see anything, they still did not want to miss any clues. Teams of soldiers holding spears passed by, in a good order. Feng Qiudao has been in charge of the Longwu Army for two years. He was born into a general and was stationed in the frontier with his father since he was a child. Feng Qiudao has had great experience in training and commanding troops. With his strict training, the Longwu Army has become the most elite army in the Hua Dynasty. Although the number of people is not as large as that of the Shence Army. The Shenwu Army has more. But to the extent of the elite, the Longwu Army is a bit stronger than all the troops.

The soldiers stationed at the Xicheng Gate of Yangzhou are another scene.

They are local garrisons in Yangzhou. Relatively speaking, their morale, equipment, and combat power are much worse than those of the Dragon Martial Army.

They sat in groups of three or two under the arrows, some were dozing off, some were sighing, and some were quietly complaining that the generals were looking for trouble. They were dragged out to patrol the city so late, but they didn't even know who the enemy was, so what was the purpose of guarding?

Feng Qiudao patrolled the city wall for a week, and looked at the local garrison in Yangzhou with a sluggish morale, and couldn't help but sigh.

He pressed his sword high and stepped into the arrow tower above the East City Gate, and Feng Qiudao sat down on a slightly old chair.

Xiao Huaiyuan and Wen Sen were also in the arrow tower, whispering something. When Feng Qiudao came in, they looked at each other and didn't say anything again.

"Two sirs, the morale and combat office of the Yangzhou garrison is not good, I'm afraid it's a little bad." Feng Qiudao frowned deeply.

Xiao Huaiyuan was the deputy envoy of the imperial envoy. Fang Zheng was not there, and he should be the leader of the three of them. But Xiao Huaiyuan didn't understand the war, so he tactfully gave up the second place and was commanded by Feng Qiudao.

Lord Fang Zheng has said more than once that you have a specialty in your profession, and you should avoid being a layman and leading an expert. No matter how well a cook is, he can cook. Even if he is a God of Food, can you do it well if you ask him to teach the tailor to make clothes?

Xiao Huaiyuan dared not disobey Fang Zheng's words, even if Fang Zheng is not aware of his life and death, he would not dare to disobey him. He was really scared by Fang Zheng. If he came back and found that this deputy envoy who didn't understand anything was domineering at the Longwu Army soldiers, pretending to be an expert in teaching others to fight, Fang Zheng would be so angry that he would chop him alive.

Lord Fang has done this before killing the generals in front of the battle, and more than once, Xiao Huaiyuan had just become Shangguan'er and did not want to touch the bad intentions of the most important official in the court.

Wensen stumbled for a moment and asked hesitantly: "General Feng, uh, the official said something offended. You have not received any information, and you have not seen any abnormal troops in my dynasty. Why are you so sure that the King of Thailand will come to attack Yangzhou? At present, the four gates of Yangzhou City are closed, and the people are panicking, and the wind is everywhere. Is this a big deal?"

Xiao Huaiyuan didn't say anything, but his eyes were also staring at Feng Qiudao, obviously he had the same doubts.

Feng Qiudao's face was cold and hard, and he raised his firm chin and looked up at the night outside the city in the distance. After a while of silence, he suddenly said with a faint sad tone, "Men's intuition."

Jiang Huaiyuan and Wensen are all black in their heads:

The two of them felt very sorry. Lord Fang was a scoundrel. General Feng was such a generous and upright man. This time he went to Jiangnan. He had been with Lord Fang for a few days, and General Feng became like him."

After coming back to his senses, Feng Qiudao apologized and smiled at the two of them. He said, "It will be difficult to explain clearly in the military use for a while. I thought yesterday that since the former governor Xu Shou was ordered by Lord Fang to behead him in front of the people of Yangzhou, the people's hearts seemed to gradually warm up and were pulled back step by step by step by Lord Fang. This place is a fiefdom that King Tai has managed for many years. How could the King of Thailand watch the people's hearts that he has won for many years be pulled back by Lord Fang? Taking advantage of the great opportunity of Lord Fang's disappearance, the two lords, if you were Tai concubines, would you take the opportunity to raise an army to attack Yangzhou in chaos?

Xiao Huaiyuan and Wen Sen thought to themselves when they heard this. Then they nodded slowly.

Feng Qiudao smiled and continued: "Yangzhou is located in the east of the capital, facing the natural danger of the Yangtze River in the south, facing the Jiangbei Plain in the north, facing the sea for two days, and in the rich Jiangnan with abundant grains. You can attack, retreat and defend, you can have abundant money and food, and there is no shortage of military resources. How could the King of Thailand not take such an important place? Therefore, I judge that the King of Thailand will most likely use troops to Yangzhou. The two lords, Yangzhou, cannot lose it! If the King of Thailand takes over Yangzhou, his influence among the people will spread rapidly like a plague. At that time, he will be the lord of Yangzhou, climb up and raise his arms and shout. Wouldn't the thousands of people and refugees who fled to famine become his men? At that time, the war disaster may cause disaster to spread throughout the Hua Dynasty."

Xiao Huaiyuan and Wen Sen jumped together when they heard this. They didn't know that if the King of Thailand occupied Yangzhou, the impact would be so great. They suddenly felt that the pressure on their shoulders became heavier.

Xiao Huaiyuan bowed to Feng Qiudao and said, "General Feng, you reminded us that we realized the danger of this matter. Fortunately, General Feng saw the opportunity quickly and closed the city gate in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Feng Qiudao's eyes were on the local Yangzhou garrison on the west city wall. The soldiers were lazy and yawning weakly after the arrows. He couldn't help but frown, and a little sadness appeared in his eyes: "The Yangzhou garrison is actually like this. If King Mu comes to attack the city, I am really worried that I will not be able to defend it."

Wen Sen also turned his head and looked at it. Then he sighed, "It would be great if Lord Fang was there. He always seemed to have a way to solve all difficulties. At this time, I don't know where Lord Fang is. The emperor has issued three orders to ask about Lord Fang's news. Alas, after this battle, if Lord Fang doesn't show up yet, I

The three of them looked depressed and shook their breath.

The sound of the clamor of the silence of the night is particularly clear.

At the third update, when people were most tired, the local garrison who was dozing off behind the arrows on the west city wall listened to the sound of the clapper, as if he had heard a hypnotic command, and yawned at the same time.

"Don't you let people sleep? Yesterday I said that there might be thieves attacking the city. I have been standing on the wall for a whole day. I haven't seen a bird hair of the thieves. Do you think the superiors are using us to have fun? A soldier muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Shh! Shut up! Don't want to live? This is the order issued by Feng Qiudao, the general of the Longwu Army from the capital. They are full and full. Such a big general, as for you to spend the fun of you, the stuffed one? Why are you sick? You haven't seen the Longwu Army on the wall of the East City. They are the elite. No matter whether there is a person or not, they stand there motionlessly, just like a clothes pole. It's not like our group of mobs," he said.

"Damn it, what's wrong with Beijing? One single fight. The one who loses may not necessarily be us

Suddenly, a soldier standing among the arrows patted his robes sitting on the ground, and said nervously: "Hey, don't be fucking nonsense! Look. What is the bright ball of things outside?

, "What's bright?" The two soldiers patted the dust on their butts, stood up and squinted their eyes and looked out.

Outside the city wall, a ball of fire flashed under the dark night, which looked particularly dazzling. Moreover, the fire was very fast. It was originally just a small fire point, but in the blink of an eye it became bigger and closer, like a meteorite hitting the city wall. "

Soon, the flames flew over the city wall and quickly fell in the form of a parabola. The flames illuminated half of the city wall and illuminated the scorching heat of the soldiers' terrified faces, as if the curse from hell hit the gathering crowd.

"Flint! It is the flint thrown by the throwing cart." A terrifying scream cut through the tranquility of the night.

As soon as he finished speaking, the flint had hit the bush of the city wall, making a huge roar. Even the earth seemed to tremble and shake, and gravel splashed. More than a dozen soldiers who stood close were smashed to their brains splashed everywhere on the spot, and their death was extremely miserable.

The loud noise alarmed all the soldiers guarding the city, and soon the harsh gong sounded and echoed in the quiet night.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Be on guard! Get ready to defend the city!"

Amid the warning sound, a dense flint like locusts appeared above the city, like the grim smile of death, quickly scraping dazzling arcs in the night sky, smashing towards the city wall without mercy.

On the plain outside the city wall, tens of thousands of chaotic soldiers wearing black armor were holding swords and guns in their hands, and their eyes were coldly staring at Yangzhou City. It was a prosperous city that would soon become their first spoil.

"How far is it from Xuji Town?" Fang Zheng knocked on the wooden wall of the carriage in dissatisfaction.

Outside the curtain of the car, Yang Quan, who was driving the car, came with a pleasing voice: "It's not too far away, Lord Fang, please wait a while, and you will be there in half an incense stick."

"It doesn't matter how long I'll wait. But Miss Han can't wait anymore. She coughed up blood again just now, hey. I asked, can you hurry up? Life is at stake!" Fang Zheng's voice was a little anxious.

Yang Quan hurriedly whipped the horse pulling the cart hard. "Master Fang, it's not okay to be too fast. Miss Han suffered internal injuries. If the bumps on her walk were too severe, it would probably worsen her injuries. The younger ones are also for her sake."

Fang Zheng sighed with a sad face, Damn! This matter is a big deal! It's hard to be fast or slow, it's hard to die! It's all Ye Minzhi's fault. After curing Fu Yizhen, I have to peel him off!

As he thought about it, Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel angry again. A cold murderous intent flashed in his unfair eyes.

As if he sensed the murderous aura emitted by Fang Zheng, Han Yizhen, who was leaning against his arms, suddenly frowned, as if he was enduring great pain. His weak and helpless look made people feel pity.

After a while, Fang Zheng suddenly knocked heavily on the car wall and shouted: "Stop! Stop!"

Yang Quan hurriedly stopped the horse, "Sir, what's wrong?"

Fang Zheng lifted the curtain, jumped out of the car and took a deep breath. Yang Quan looked at him curiously. I wonder what this adult who always walked out of his mind wanted to do.

"I urinate. Fang Zheng quickly ran into a small wood next to the road.

Under the faint moonlight, Fang Zheng pulled open his belt and released a squirt of hot urine. Fang Zheng closed his eyes and sighed comfortably. Suddenly, he heard from the grass not far away. Hey, and he seemed extremely surprised.

Fang Zheng was so scared that he shook his whole body. In the wilderness, there were still people's voices in the dark woods. Fang Zheng suddenly felt creepy and his hair stood up all over his body. Even the feeling of urine that had been holding it for a long time shrank back.

He didn't bother to think about it. Fang Zheng raised his pants and turned around and ran away, not daring to turn his head back. When he ran to the carriage, his face was pale, which scared Yang Quan, "Sir, have you washed your face with the pissing? Why is it so white?"

Go quickly!" Fang Zhengjun climbed into the carriage with a pale face and ordered: "There are thiefs who pick chrysanthemums in the woods, who are coveting the beauty of my official. Fortunately, I run fast

Yang Quan hated chills, "No way?"

Fang Zheng sighed: "Handsome have their worries, you will never experience this feeling."

The carriage was driving rapidly, and in the carriage, Fang Zheng looked at the sleeping Han Yizhen, and Haitang was sleeping in spring, which was a unique charm.

"I think there are many beautiful appearances in the country. Is there a lot of Er'er who covet your beauty?" Fang Zheng stared at him... His beautiful face was really beautiful and murmured to himself.

Then, Fang Zheng stroked his face lovingly, with a tone of the same illness, and said quietly: So is me! People peeing when someone pees, it's really annoying."

”

Not long after the car was in operation, Fang Zheng suddenly heard Yang Quan roar, "Sir, you have been seated. Someone wants to grab our car, I don't know where it is.

As he said that, Yang Quan shook his hand and threw a few whips hard. The horse was in pain and ran away quickly.

Fang Zheng was shocked when he heard this, and looked back with a pale face. Through the window at the back of the carriage, Fang Zheng saw several fast horses quickly adorning the carriage. The knight on the horse shouted to stop. Yang Quan turned a deaf ear and still beat the horse pulling the carriage hard.

Seeing this, the knight immediately divided into two teams. Two of them were on the speeding horse, climbing onto the shaft of the carriage with their hands, trying to jump from the horse to the carriage.

Fang Zheng was furious when he saw this. Since he left Jiangnan, he felt that everything was not going well and the King of Thailand had a bad plan. The aristocratic family was hostile to him, and Ye Minzhi tied his vote. Now he didn't ask anyone to mess with anyone sitting in the carriage. These little thieves actually dared to rob? Don't they know that I am a bandit among the bandits?

At this time, the knight on the horse had already jumped onto the carriage. He was fighting with Yang Quan for the horse's reins and trying to stop the carriage.

Fang Zheng lifted the curtain, kicked the knight hard, and cursed: "Baoya, you are blind! Even I dare to rob it, what's wrong with these tricks?

Fang Zheng kicked the knight who jumped into the car and staggered and his body quickly fell out, but the knight's reaction was not slow. When he was about to fall and blood, he suddenly twisted his body. He grabbed the shaft of the carriage with both hands, but his body had fallen to the ground. The speeding carriage dragged his body forward, and a piece of dust rose behind the carriage.

"Quick" Stop the car quickly, we are not bandits." The knight shouted in pain while still holding the shaft of the car with both hands.

, "I care whether you are a bandit or not, your idea of ​​beating me is not OK." Fang Zheng cursed and kept stepping on the hands holding the shaft.

"Master Fang, show mercy! It's me, it's me," the knight begged, his body being dragged away by the carriage on the ground, and his condition was extremely painful.

The knights on the horses next to them also shouted: "Sir Fang, stop quickly, it's your own people."

"Huh?" Fang Zheng Daqi. "Do you know me? What is your surname, name, and what are you doing?

"King Fang" Lord Fang, do you have to chat with your subordinates at this time? The knight who was holding the shaft gritted his teeth and said in pain. He felt that his lower body was completely numb by the carriage.

Fang Zheng hurriedly ordered Yang Quan to stop the carriage.

The knights also tied their horses and came down to meet Fang Zheng with fists.

"Are you shadows?" Fang Zheng suddenly realized.

"It's my subordinate, Lord Fang, we're looking for you!" Shadow's subordinate looked quite excited.

Fang Zheng was also very excited. He stepped forward in two steps, held his subordinate's hand, shook it. He shook it again, and after a while, his eyes burst into tears and said, "I finally found the organization!"

When the subordinates saw that their boss had revealed their true feelings, they couldn't help but get moved and said in a lingering manner: "Sir, I'm suffering!"

"I have not protected the Lord, and I deserve to die!"

Fang Zheng wiped his tears and said with a smile in his tears: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you, I blame the little girls in the car. Cough, no one is wrong, by the way. How did you find me? I've been in the carriage, you probably can't find me.

One subordinate said: "After the adult disappeared, Lord Wen sent all his subordinates out. He searched for the whereabouts of the adult in the cities and villages near Yangzhou. His subordinates were responsible for searching northwards. Whether in the wilderness or in small towns along the way, they all carefully inquire about and investigated. They were just now surprised to find the adult."

Fang Zheng said in confusion: "I just discovered it? How did you find it?"

"Uh" Didn't the adults just enter that little forest? The subordinates happened to be camping there, so ahem.
