31. Gan Ning Jiadao discusses Xunyong, Huang Zhong's arrow once fell.
Huang Zhong didn't know how to answer Liu She's question.
Is Wang Zheng a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty? Huang Zhong knew that of course he was not.
Did Wang Zheng order him to sneak into Shouchun to rescue Liu She this time out of good intentions? Huang Zhong also knew very well that he wanted to take advantage of his identity as the Fuling King.
At this time, Liu She showed maturity and calmness that belied his age, and Huang Zhong suddenly couldn't bear to bully him.
For a moment, the two looked at each other in silence, and the room fell into a brief silence.
At this time, Huang Zhong suddenly turned his head and looked back, but he vaguely heard the noise outside at this time, and there were many hurried footsteps in the distance. It seemed that the guards of the palace had discovered something unusual and were coming quickly.
Then Yan Ran also looked at the door and urged with a somewhat anxious expression: "General Huang, please leave the palace quickly."
Huang Zhong nodded, cupped his hands to Liu She and said, "Your Highness, the situation forces me to offend you." Without waiting for Liu She's reply, he waved his hand, and several masked soldiers from the Tianzhu camp behind him immediately stepped forward and raised their hands.
Bajiao caught Liu She, and tied him tightly with ropes to facilitate his movement. Someone was specially responsible for carrying him. Huang Zhong shouted again, and dozens of people rushed out carrying dazzling swords and guns.
Outside the Jingdian.
At this time, the night is deep and the moon is dark, and there is no light in the sky and the earth.
Huang Zhong looked around for a moment, but he saw far and near, row upon row of pavilions and houses, suddenly lit up with countless firelights, dotted like stars. Then he listened attentively, and someone in the distance shouted loudly: "The back hall is dead.
Many people, a thief entered the palace, immediately guarded the four gates outside the palace, prohibiting entry and exit..."
Yan Ran also noticed that the situation was not good, so he came closer and asked: "General Huang, the Southern Army is stationed at the palace, and its combat power is far beyond that of the general Yangzhou Army. Now that they have discovered it, what will they do next?"
"What about the Confederates?"
Huang Zhong glanced at him indifferently and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid they can't stop us, but since the other party is alert, they really can't do any more delay and can't make another contribution. It's really a pity."
The main purpose of asking his top general to go to Shouchun in person was to ensure that Liu She could be taken out of the city. Of course, Wang Zheng had also told Huang Zhong in advance that he could act expediently and kill him if there was an opportunity.
Several important figures in Shouchun are naturally the best, especially Yang Hong, Yuan Shu's mastermind.
When Wang Zheng's so-called "act of expediency" came to Huang Zhong, it was originally something that must be done. However, now that time has not waited for us, Huang Zhong no longer was greedy for credit and made a decisive decision: "According to the predetermined plan, set fire to leave!"
Soon after, the fire was bright and thick smoke was rising.
The flames flew in all directions, not only taking advantage of the wind to quickly ignite the palace, but also caused countless people to panic out of control.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huang Zhong and others, led by Yan Ran, who had already figured out the road during the day, dozens of people snaking and stalking took the path, walked through the bamboo forest, climbed over the rockery, crossed the courtyard wall, and chose the side door of the West Hall as a breakthrough. Huang Zhong rushed
He was like a sharp knife at the front, and he was unstoppable. Although he met three or four Confederate troops guarding the palace on the road, he almost didn't use his hands. He basically asked him to raise his sword and bow, and he took care of them all by himself.
The Heavenly Army entered the city with a total of 300 people. Thirty or forty of them followed Huang Zhong and sneaked into the palace. The remaining people were divided into two groups. One group dispersed into the city as a backup; the other group stayed outside the west palace wall.
, as a response, the two parties cooperated inside and outside, and quickly broke through towards the side door of the West Hall.
With the fire blazing into the sky and the shouts of killing, most of the people in the palace knew that a group of thieves had entered the palace. Many servants and maids were so good that no one dared to go out. They were all hiding indoors tremblingly.
But at the same time, under the light of the wind lantern, on the small corridors connecting the various halls, there were more and more soldiers wearing armor and swords and holding spears and guns!
One of them bit Huang Zhong's tightest team, but it was a young general wearing a feather crown and a fire-colored cloak who led the way.
It was Gan Ning.
Gan Ning found a mount from nowhere. He didn't even have time to put on the saddle or bridle, so he just sat on it, holding a scorching grease torch in one hand and a long, crescent-shaped torch in the other.
The armored sword rushes forward in the whistling wind, its majestic appearance changes, and it cuts through the night.
"Where is the thief?"
"I rushed out of the inner hall in front of a cup of tea, heading west, as if I was preparing to break through the side door of the west hall..."
"How can a majestic palace allow some thieves to come and go freely?"
Gan Ning yelled with angry eyes, raised his arms and shouted: "Sons, please follow me."
He was appointed by Yuan Shu as the highest city guard in Shouchun, but now even the palace was invaded by thieves. At this time, he was extremely angry and frustrated.
If the thief is let go again, how can he still go to see Yuan Shu?
Under the mixture of shame and anger, his already drunken face turned redder and redder, and the alcohol became stronger. Not to mention, he slammed the handle of the torch on the mount and rushed out of the side door. Most of the guards behind were on foot, and only
Four or five horses staggered after him.
...
At this time, Shouchun City was also in flames.
Huang Zhong made an agreement with Mi Fang. If everything went well and he could quietly capture Liu She, he would not need to set fire to cover the city. On the contrary, if the palace guards were alerted and there was a fire in the palace, Xuzhou soldiers and soldiers would be dispersed in the city.
Si's people also followed suit and set fires everywhere, creating even greater chaos.
The sky is covered with dark clouds and is gloomy. Looking up, it seems that you can reach out and touch it. The wind blows on your body, heavy and containing moisture. Some of the people on the street are unaware of the chaos in the city. They are deep in the courtyard, with bright lights and string and bamboo orchestras.
The sound can be heard.
Gan Ning couldn't see the road ahead clearly. The torch in his hand made his eyes shine. On the bare horse's back, he clamped the horse's belly tightly with his legs. The fire burning far and near illuminated the road, and he casually turned the horse's belly.
I threw away the torch, squinted my eyes, and looked ahead. The masked men were like a flock of frightened birds in the forest. Thirty or forty people were divided into groups of seven or eight, racing along the spider web-like alleys and streets.
He reined in his mount and looked carefully, and saw one of them. There were a small number of people, with a few people surrounding each other, carrying a dark object that looked like a young man. The leader was a man holding a long knife.
Facing the man, a group of people turned east and west and ran towards the east gate.
"What a thief! Where to go?"
Although Gan Ning did not know that Liu She had been captured, he could clearly see that this group must be the leader of the masked men. He was overjoyed and immediately urged his horse to pursue him.
There were only a few pedestrians on the road in the city. Although the street was not very wide, it was enough for a horse to gallop. As he chased, he raised his armor and shouted repeatedly: "If you have eggs, come and fight with me."
Gan Ning pursued well, and this group of people was led by Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong turned into a small alley and turned to look, only to see the young general behind him still refused to give up and kept pursuing him.
This guy is really looking for death!
Huang Zhong's eyes flashed with murderous intent, he immediately stopped, turned around, and suddenly shouted: "Arrow!"
Guo Lu beside him immediately held up a bare-backed horn bow.
The horn bow was four feet long, and even in the night there was a faint flaming luster. It was unknown what material the bow body and bow string were made of.
Staring at the front of a man and a horse, it was like lightning. In a moment, the distance from him was less than a hundred steps, and it was as fierce as a torrent. Huang Zhong's face under the mask was very calm. He just drew his bow and arrow, aiming at the fiery man.
The cloak did not launch immediately, but instead closed his eyes slightly.
Guo Lu, who came with him, immediately came closer and said softly: "This person must be that Jinfan thief Gan Ning."
Sure enough it was him!
Huang Zhong suddenly opened his eyes, the light in them was so bright that he shouted loudly:
"Gan Xingba, please take one of my arrows!"
This shout was like a thunder rolling by, being sent straight out against the wind. It overwhelmed the countless noisy voices from far and near in the city. Gan Ning, who was the first to bear the brunt, was immediately shocked.
The next moment, a trace of flame cut through the night and shot straight towards Gan Ning.
Because Huang Zhong had spoken to remind him, Gan Ning's eyes accurately and clearly captured all the traces of this arrow.
He is also good at archery, but he can't believe that there is such archery in this world...
This arrow was so fast that it was so terrifying that it was so close in the blink of an eye!
This arrow was so fierce that even before the arrow reached it, the strong wind it brought stung his eyes!
"Good arrow!"
At the same time, Guo Lu also clapped his hands and yelled. Even though he had seen Huang Zhong's archery skills countless times, he was still excited every time he saw it, and he believed that such an arrow would never be missed!
In Guo Lu's heart, from the moment Huang Zhong opened his eyes, Gan Ning opposite him was already a dead man.
In the blink of an eye, changes occur!
Life and death met around him in a short moment. At this time, Gan Ning's mind went blank. The only remaining thought was to fight for the slim chance of life and try his best to save his life!
The next moment, a bright sword light suddenly appeared, cutting through the deep darkness, turning into a powerful meteor, and bombarded directly towards the flame!
There was only a clear "pop" sound, and the long-feathered arrow that turned into flames was cut into two pieces in the air!
"How is it possible?" Guo Lu was stunned: "This guy actually blocked it?"
Although Gan Ning knocked down the arrow, the powerful impact of the arrow still made half of his body weak and weak, and he even let go of the bridle.
Hearing the horse's neighing cry, the young man fell off the horse, sending up smoke and dust all over the ground.
Until Gan Ning climbed on the horse again in disgrace, Gan Ning was still in shock. Countless question marks were filling his mind at this time...
The person who can shoot such an arrow is definitely not a thief, so who is this person?
Why would the other party give a verbal reminder before shooting?
If the other party didn't warn me, and I was unprepared, I'm afraid that when I saw the feathered arrow, the arrow was already approaching the door, right?
Then where does he get the chance to swing the sword, let alone strike it down?
When Gan Ning came back to his senses and looked forward, the group of people had already been completely submerged in the dark night and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
...
After shooting down Gan Ning with one arrow, Huang Zhong and others turned to a small road and headed straight for the east gate without stopping.
When approaching the city gate, Huang Zhong looked forward and back. The garrison in the city had probably been alarmed. If the city on fire was compared to a mountain of flames, then the teams holding torches would be like walking in it.
Fire snakes were everywhere among the soldiers carrying water dragons to put out the fire.
Not to mention the distance, there was a group of brightly-armored soldiers guarding the exit not far from the alley they were walking on.
Huang Zhong's thoughts turned sharply. There were not many enemies in this street. There were only seven or eight people. It seemed like a ten-man team. It was easy to dispatch. But no matter how easy it was to dispatch, it would inevitably delay some time. If this attracted other teams
, or ask Gan Ning to catch up again, it will inevitably turn a small trouble into a big one.
He made a decision and said to Yan Ran on the side: "Captain Yan, it seems that all the garrison troops in the city have been dispatched. If there are too many people, the target will be too big. Let's do this. I will allocate five people to you and take Liu with you."
Your Highness, please leave the city quickly, there will be people waiting for you outside the city."
Yan Ran was startled, then asked, "What about you, General?"
"I and the other brothers will stay here to break up the family for you," Huang Zhong said in a deep voice with pride on his face: "Leave quickly!"
“This is absolutely impossible!”
Yan Ran immediately shook his head: "General Huang is the most powerful general under the lord's command, how can he leave behind him? No matter how elite the Tianzhu camp is, the number is too small after all. In the current situation, General Huang is the only one who wants to take Liu She out of the city. If so,
With General Huang here, he can kill the enemy even if he encounters it, but it may not be possible for the last general..."
"Therefore, the general must not be responsible for clearing the way and cutting off the rear!"
Yan Ran said categorically: "General, it is better that the post of the Empress should be done by the Empress."
Huang Zhong raised his head and glanced at Yan Ran, his face darkened: "Although Lieutenant Yan is not an officer of this general, he is above you in terms of position. What is the first of the four prohibitions of the Heavenly Army? Do you still remember?
?”
"Anyone who refuses to obey the command of the superior officer in battle will be beheaded!"
Yan Ran said: "General Tiangong once said, act according to the opportunity. If at other times the generals would not dare to disobey General Huang's military orders, but today it is different."
"you..."
Huang Zhong was waiting to say more, but he saw Yan Ran shouting directly: "Come forward with me, twenty brothers who are willing to break up."
Within a moment, everyone's hands were ordered, and everyone rushed out of the alley with long strides, making deliberate noises at the same time.
Seeing Yan Ran and his party walking further and further away, gradually disappearing from the streets, Huang Zhong couldn't help but tighten his grip on the handle of the knife. He was not a very serious person. He suggested that his family should be cut off mainly because of his confidence in his skills. He believed that he could kill even if he fell into a tight siege.
Will go out, but if it were Yan Ran...
But there was nothing he could do about it at this time. Huang Zhong sighed secretly in his heart, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't heard Liu She make a sound for a long time. He quickly turned his face and reached out to touch Liu She's breath, but he saw the young man with a pair of bright eyes open.
His eyes were fixed on him, his face was calm and quiet, and there was nothing unusual about him.
"His Royal Highness has the air of a general. If he can practice hard, he will become a great weapon during the holidays."
The two looked at each other for a moment, Huang Zhong praised him sincerely, but silently added in his heart:
"But as a big Han prince, if he falls into the hands of the lord, he probably won't have a chance to practice, right?"
In fact, even if they do not fall into the hands of the royal government, in such a troubled world where the heroes are divided, the princes and kings surnamed Liu will never have a chance. This chapter has been completed!
