Chapter 172: dusk
Shortly after the rain curtain fell, the rain gradually slowed down. Since the city was broken, the Ming Cult soldiers who invaded in addition to killing men and using women as their targets for venting, they also robbed them, including food. After the family broke, the wandering children turned from hunger to wolf cubs, which made people feel sad and cold.
The disabled boy at the other side of the street has left.
As the rain was crackling, Lin Chong and the other two were silent for a while. Luan Tingyu patted his shoulder, "This was the scene when Liangshan entered Zhujiazhuang, but Hangzhou was bigger, so there were naturally more tragedies, and Liangshan also became the Ming Cult. My junior brother is a little more open-minded, we have more important things to do."
"Let's go..."
Lin Chong let out a long breath, wiped away the rain from his face, and went straight into the alley.
This is Jinyuan Lane. There were originally several other courtyards on both sides of the alley. Now there are no sounds on both sides. The blood stains on the walls on both sides are still condensed and difficult to clean. Deeper, the old house mentioned by Bai Ning before they left, and the plaque on the dilapidated door of the courtyard were no longer known whereabouts.
The gate was broken and crooked. Judging from the broken traces, it was mostly plundered by the Ming Cult soldiers, but it was obvious that it had been abandoned for a long time. The bandits probably didn't have any interest in going in to search for anything. After the three of them were careful, they did not passively, which confirmed their guess.
“It should be here….”
“….Knock and look.”
… … … … … … …
At the blank wall on the side of the bookshelf that was almost collapsed, Lin Chong bent his fingers and knocked around in an orderly manner. The earth wall suddenly squeaked, sliding with a heavy thrust, moving outward, and a face was exposed inside, and when he saw the person coming, he smiled.
"Teacher Lin...Teacher Luan...Uh...and Jianzao Ling is here too." The man hurriedly shouted in, as if he had called people over again, and then he worked together to push the wall outwards and greet Lin Chong and others in.
Although the entrance of the cave is small, you can stand upright when you enter it. This should be the effect of the compartment, and it is difficult to find it from the outside. It is very simple, with only a low table and an oil lamp still on, but there are not many people. The roof is leaking and the walls are soaked in wet.
The wind blew in through the gap under the eaves, and the lights swayed, making it slightly cool.
"… Commander Yang said that the Supervisor would definitely send someone to come. Now, three abbots came over, and the brothers felt relieved."
Although the factory guard had no expression on his face, his tone was obviously very relaxed, so the subtle conversation continued.
"Where is Yang Zhi?"
"Commander Yang was seriously injured. Although it was bandaged and treated in time, the sun was dark here. It was too slow and the ground was too wet, and the wound was pusticable." The factory guard said worriedly, walked to the corner of the wall, pulled a safe wooden board, and a wooden ladder was placed under it. With the dim light, people could be seen vaguely coming and going.
"Let's go down and see Yang Zhi."
Luan Tingyu was the first to step on the ladder to reach the bottom. The factory guards passing by clasped their fists and signaled to him. After all, most people here had been taught by him.
"Where is your commander? Take us there."
Under the guidance of the factory guards who were asked, they followed the narrow secret passage and there was a clean place, and the factory guards were chatting there. When they saw Lin Chong and the other two coming, they greeted each other.
As I went deeper, I finally saw Yang Zhi, who was inside, lying on the couch, emitting a smell of sweat and blood all over my body.
The strong medicinal smell filled the entire cave.
"Oh... Lao Yang, is it like this?" Ling Zhen walked over teasingly. Unexpectedly, when he saw the thing wrapped around the other side of the cave, he sniffed and his eyes glowed. "My big baby is actually here..."
When the oil cloth was lifted, the dark and rough gun body was exposed.
Lin Chong suddenly said, "Now I understand the plan of the governor."
He stared at Yang Zhi, who was covered in white silk, and the latter shook his head and swallowed a little hard: "I know... I can't say it for the time being..."
"You should take good care of your injuries. This time we are here to help you. You have been in the city for a long time, so you should know where the Ming Cult's grain storage land is, right?" Luan Tingyu was silent for a while, and told him Bai Ning's plan: "The Ming Cult is plundering supplies and food outside the city to stock up in Hangzhou and surrounding areas. The supervisor outside the city should have a solution. At present, we must first grasp the storage land for the food and food in the city. When Tong Shumi's army came, a fire was burned out for him."
Yang Zhi, who was lying on the couch, looked at the expressions of Luan Tingyu and the other two, raised his hand and put it down, and said weakly: "It is now late spring, and the south is humid. There are probably not many places where you can store grain in Hangzhou. If the Guanjian is not destroyed, the grain must be there. But since it is grain and grass, the other party must have been guarding closely. More than a thousand factory guards in this secret passage are afraid that they want to pass through the streets and fight with the army guarding the grain. It is also a sheep entering the tiger's mouth."
"What if I caught me off guard?"
Lin Chong said while helping him check his body, "Fortunately, the organs have not been damaged, otherwise the root cause of the disease will be deprived in the future."
Then, he turned around and continued: "When he was in the city, those people who came here seemed to have known that Fang La would be the emperor in Hangzhou. If so, that day would definitely be the best opportunity. Lin saw that these people were too keen to see that they were too keen on the rivers and lakes. If they were to be on the city, they would definitely get together and have some drinks. Even if there were on duty, their defense would definitely be much more relaxed than usual."
Yang Zhi, who had been lying on the couch for a long time, was already a little decadent. At this time, he gradually realized the key point. He opened his mouth and smiled: "When it comes, the generals under Fang La will gather together to accept the seal, haha."
Yang Zhi laughed, but his eyes were looking at the cannons.
The hand wrapped around Bai Jian was pinching it tightly
Outside Hangzhou City, after heavy rain, the sun was westward, and two Ming Cult rides wrapped in red scarves patrolling the empty official road, and sometimes said a few words in scattered.
Among the weeds on both sides of the road, there were figures crawling around. Suddenly, before the two rovers could react, two ropes appeared in the air. They banged and pulled them off their horses' backs, quickly dragged them into the grass, and soon disappeared.
Two ownerless horses stood on the official road and sneezed, slowly chewing on the weeds.
The Ming Cult Rangers who were dragged away were quickly taken away and went to an abandoned and dilapidated village. When they were dragged to ask, in front of them were eunuchs dressed in black palace robes, "Tell us where the grain is stored outside the city."
"Of course, if you think about it, our family will have a way to let you speak."
The gloomy face of Cao Shaoqing gradually magnified in the eyes of the two minions. Soon after, a piece of information appeared on the note, and the two were dragged away and killed.
The information was sent to Bai Ning.
In the western suburbs of the city, Bai Ning, Bai of Laowagou, silently recited the place name above.
The wind blew through the forest, blowing in from outside the dilapidated house, the fire swayed, and it flickered and darker. In the distance, in the direction of Hangzhou, Bai Ning knew that the man would eventually become emperor and would be defeated, but before that, he would have to leave something in this history.
For example, the sound of artillery he vaguely heard.
