. The setting sun is like blood. .Fast update..
The dog was tired. It limped around the blood-stained dirt slope, and then went to lie down in the small yard that had collapsed halfway below the dirt slope. . The owner was lying beside it, and when he turned his head, it looked at the long wooden pole inserted into the owner's body, arched its nose forward, and then shrank back with a "woo".
Dogs, yards, corpses, arrow shafts, and blood, the noise came from not too far away.
It is an old dog, so old I am afraid that it has not many years to pass. It has always lived with the same old owner in the small yard near the big wall, and occasionally goes out for a walk, and when tired Slowly coming back, what it likes most now is lying on the bluestone slab under the tree by the threshold to bask in the sun, squinting and napping in the sun and cicadas, when the old master sits next to it and moans the stiff tendons on its neck. When chattering, it occasionally makes a comfortable "woo" sound.
Until a few days ago, it saw the birds flying away, and then the earth moved, shaking the big wall. After that, people came and went, all things that it couldn't understand. The place where the big wall collapsed was the screams of those people for several days. On that day, a dense crowd of people swarmed in through the opening, and countless people poured out from everywhere. The sea of people collided, and the old master stood at the opening in the yard and looked at the faint sight there. When it was moving, and he was muttering some words that it didn't understand, it fell down without warning.
It saw the wooden pole supported by the old master, smelled the ominous smell of blood, and the blood gushed out. It ran over quickly, sniffing and dragging at the old master, trying to make the old master move again, but the old man just opened his eyes and glanced at it slightly, and then the eyes solidified forever.
The blood was still flowing, and it ran into the street and crawled up the dirt slope at the rear, screaming. Some people with blood on their bodies rushed over, and it screamed and rushed to bite, but it was also old, interrupted by the handle of the knife, and whimpered to the side. Some people rushed into the yard and later rushed out. After a long time, a large number of people were driven out through the opening, and the noise boiled over there. Only the small courtyard here was cold, and only the old dog walked slowly here.
Then people rushed in from the breach in the big wall, and many people fell there. It has not eaten for a few days. Occasionally, it looks out on the mound and drags the crippled tui. When it can bark, it barks a few times. In the yard, look at the flies that were born on the old master's corpse.
The weather was hot, and the blood-like setting sun finally submerged between the rolling clouds and the mountains. Outside the courtyard, a red maple tree with half wrinkled leaves swirled in the heat wave and stench in the evening. When it was getting dark, the old dog Climbing up the soil slope again, the figure and the soil slope merged into a lonely silhouette in the orange-red color.
At a certain moment, the dog stood up straight on the dirt slope and looked out into the distance. Countless arrows and shadows rose into the sky like locusts.
One of the arrows pierced through the old dog's body, the body rolled down, and the scattered arrows landed on the soil slope, and then, outside the city, someone shouted Get up: "Shenggong" someone shouted again: "It's the law and equality! There is no competition! The Shenggong has arrived" "Shenggong! When it arrived, the countless voices converged and rumbled towards this side!
…, …, …, …, …, … …
It was another dreary evening, and the riots in and out of Hangzhou had almost become a daily part of the day. In Taiping Alley, Ning Yi sat on the roof of a wooden building that had not collapsed, looking at the sunset and the city not far away. The water vein near Taiping Lane is a small tributary of the Grand Canal. Due to the blockage of the upper reaches, and the fierce battle of the soldiers these days, the river water has also become turbid.
After many days of chaos since the earthquake, internal and external troubles, and poor circulation in the city, a rotten stench was faintly exuding at this time.
Ning Yi went downstairs only when a few people came over from Taiping Lane on horseback. Among the people who came over, the one headed was Qian Haiping, a nephew of Qian Xiwen, but he was nearly forty years old at this time. Cifang La attacked the city. He was in charge of many things in the city. He had a certain intersection with Ning Yi a few days ago.
He had been to Taiping Alley several times in the past two days, and the people guarding the alley basically knew him and let him in. When I saw Ning Yi, it seemed that the middle-aged man who was busy with the dust didn't have much courtesy, and he cupped his hands and took out a note from his body: "Nephew Ning, there is no need to be more polite, this morning, the family of Cheng Xi'an was in chaos. The bandit attacked, caught fire, and killed more than ten people. We got this news later..." He lowered his voice, "Now we can preliminarily determine the mastermind of the other party..." "But Uncle Qian Shi isn't sure yet. "Ning Yi looked at the note, frowned slightly, and then reached out to invite a few people into the room. Su Tan'er bowed under the eaves not far away, but did not come.
A few days ago, Ning Yi used all his strength for the first time to combine the strengths that could be persuaded and used by several nearby blocks. This was an activity for himself. When he saw Qian Xiwen again, he said some thoughts casually. The other party had obviously been active in Hangzhou city for a while. At this time, the planning and planning... was obviously a master, and wanted to defend the offensive outside the city at the same time. The idea of catching people out in a carpet-like manner is not reliable.
But since the other party has come to the city and has an understanding, he will definitely confirm some places that are really suitable to start. The most fearful thing in the world is the kind of lunatic who has no sign of prosperity. For example, the time Ning Yi was kidnapped by Gu Yanzhen's request, it was really simple, and there was no clue before. But if the other party also has a lot of information, the range of choices that can be made is often much smaller.
Where to start, you can make the current Hangzhou city more chaotic, you might as well show the enemy to be weak.
As far as Ning Yi can know about this matter, that is, the port in the south. As for the more detailed things, people who are familiar with Hangzhou must do it. Let them sabotage, or even induce them to sabotage, prepare enough aftermath measures here, and grasp the other party's rules of conduct in the process. After Ning Yi said these, he listed a few simple plans. Deliberately causing chaos at the South City Pier was one of them. When he said it, it was already the third day of the war, and in the afternoon of that day, the South City Pier was destroyed. Provoking chaos, an official wanted to run away, and the bandits who were hiding in the crowd took the opportunity to attack, and the spy who was hiding in the crowd also grabbed each other's tail for the first time.
This clue was broken after an hour, but the aftermath was properly handled, and after all, it did not cause a big mess. Then Qian Haiping also came to find Ning Yi under Qian Xiwen's advice, and put some ideas,
The information was handed over to Ning Yi's side. Ning Yi currently only has experience in the overall situation, but he is extremely cautious about plans to combine local folk customs and understanding... Qian Haiping and his subordinates have experienced several times, and they can't help but admire the couple.
After reading the news on the note, Ning Yi also called his wife over to take a look. Su Tan'er just nodded silently, and returned Qian Haiping after reading it. In the past few days, Qian Haiping's men have set up a large net in the city, which has now shrunk to a certain extent, and the information of several masterminds can be determined.
"...These people are almost all famous green forest masters in the past, and that Shi Bao played extremely well with a big sword. Now it can be confirmed that in the fire in the north of the city, he was the one who killed Vice-General Yuan with one knife. In the city, it should be Wang Yin who is tall and thin, with long hair, a shawl, and a big gun. This man is ruthless and skilled in martial arts, and he is not under Shi Bao. Moreover, Wang Yin has outstanding strategies. We now suspect that the leader in the city at this time may be He. But another person is also possible. The seven Buddhas under Fang La's hand, known as the Buddha Commander, are the person who ranks Fang La in the chaotic army. Some people even say that he is knowledgeable, can understand ancient times and modern times, and is a figure like Zhuge Liang. It's a pity. I haven't been able to determine whether he is in the city or not, otherwise, if he can be found out, he will be caught in a single net, and Fang La's arm will be cut off."
After Qian Haiping said so, he entered the room and sat down. When Su Tan'er brought the tea in person, he nodded in thanks, "It's Liu Dabiao, who makes people feel a little strange. This person was originally quite famous in the Southwest Green Forest. People dominate the sword. But I have a piece of news here, saying that Liu Dabiao had passed away a few years ago. It is said that Liu Dabiao had a rough and bold personality, with a full face and beard. He has a strange temper. Proud, he wore a short dress in winter and summer. Although nephew Li Heng saw each other that day, the man in his forties did not have a beard. Moreover, in his identity, he joined the rebel army and was able to get one The girl is the master. Could this girl be Fang La's daughter? If so, it would be a great achievement to capture and kill her.
At this time, there was already a lot of information on the table in the room, and Ning Yi had basically read it many times. At this time, he added the note to it: "I'm afraid it will take a day or two, and the cunning rabbit has three caves. At this time, the city is too chaotic, they Only one gathering point can be determined, and if you act rashly, I am afraid that most of them will return without success.”
"Well, these people are all masters. At this time, there is no foolproof plan. I'm afraid they will kill them if they make a move." Qian Haiping also nodded, then remembered something and laughed, "Oh, yes, I heard that Liheng I had some holiday with the Lou family, and today I have time, so I asked someone to knock on it, haha, smashed the door of his house, and let out a sigh of relief for my nephew."
Ning Yi frowned and looked at Qian Haiping, who was smiling happily: "It's a small matter, but the grievance is not big. At this time, I'm going to make a concerted effort to the outside world. If Uncle Shi does this, I'm afraid..."
"Hey, it doesn't matter." Qian Haiping waved his hand, "The Lou family said they were powerful, but in the eyes of my Qian family, they're just like chickens and dogs. Uncle didn't know about Liheng's humiliation before, but now he knows, It's my Feng, if he has any complaints, that's fine. Uncle took the opportunity to wipe him out for you! I know Liheng is benevolent, hehe, but there's no need to worry about this matter. Right now, Liheng's business is the business of my Qian family. I have nothing else to do today, so I will leave, hoping to hear good news tomorrow.
He got up with a smile and walked out of the room accompanied by Ning Yi. At this time, the setting sun was like blood, and he could only hear the shouts near the western city, boiling in the distant sky.
"The text is here." Qian Haiping shook his head, sighed, and left bored.
Ning Yi looked at the sky and frowned.
…, … , … , …
"The Holy Father is here, it seems that in one or two days, the city will be broken!"
Someone was talking, and in the setting sun, which was a relatively complete yard, Shi Bao rushed in, lol.
Wang Yin, with long hair, was sitting by the well and scrubbing his steel gun. He didn't know what he was thinking.
At this time, he looked to the west and listened carefully to the sound of the wind, but then he didn't seem happy: "I originally thought that it should be broken in these two days, but I didn't expect it to be delayed until today. In the past few days in the city, I always feel that Something weird."
"Strange? What's wrong?" Shi Bao was stunned for a while, then sat down beside Wang Yin and patted his shoulder, "Hey, stone digger, you always do this, think too much. We've been killing too much these days. So happy, the city is in chaos, I think it’s reliable. The Buddha said earlier that you scholars just think too much, so the scholars rebel, and it won’t be possible for ten years. Oh, I’m not saying that,…”
Wang Yin smiled, and swung the steel gun out in a straight line. The water droplets on the gun all burst open, and there was even a bang in the air: "Is there a mess? I don't think there is enough chaos, although Every time I act, there is no problem, but I think the result is always unclear after that. It's like being hit in a cotton ball, and the strength is gone, and there is always someone who can roughly mend the gap, which makes me feel that there is also People are watching us in the dark..."
"No way, stoner, are you sure?"
"Oh, maybe I'm thinking too much. I originally wanted to break the city inside and out before Sheng Gong arrives, but now that Sheng Gong has arrived, breaking the city will be easier. Next, Xu Fang, Qianzheng, What about Liu Dabiao and the others?"
"Come here, the news has been delivered."
While they were talking, someone opened the door and came over in a hurry. This person's name was Xu Fang, and they were quite familiar with Shi Bao and Wang Yin. After entering the yard, he looked solemn: "I have to go."
"What's up?"
"Liu Dabiao was recognized and followed, and a government spy was caught. The matter is a little serious."
Shi Bao and Wang Yin stood up at the same time, then grabbed their weapons and walked towards the door while disguising. The group walked out of the yard, walked through the ruins, streets, and pedestrians. After turning two streets, the street also began to turn on the lights one after another. Some people without their families lived and cooked by the roadside, and children came running. run away. They entered another courtyard. After the sunset, the courtyard was a little dark. On one side of the promenade under the eaves, a girl in a blue broken skirt and a black gauze hat was hugging her knees, and there was a quiet shadow over there. Sitting inside, the big man with a long wooden box on the other side was washing his hands by the well, blood soaked into the grass, a room in front was lit with a bean-like oil lamp, and there was blood on the floor of the room.
Wang Yin walked into the room first and saw a broken body. When he turned around, the middle-aged man who had washed his hands had also come over, slapped his palms, and whispered something.
Wang Yin gradually frowned, and after a long time, he laughed again. In the night wind, their voices could be vaguely heard.
"Ning Liheng..."
"I'm married... Ha..."
"There are people like this in Hangzhou...,..."
"I really want to meet him..."
After a moment, Shi Bao threw the treasured sword in his hand and caught it again.
"Hey, how was tonight?"! .
