Vol 4 Chapter 1310: Night fire

Duan Shao raised his eyebrows, his eyes glowed with excitement, and said excitedly: "There is a fire in Huize City, do you see it with your own eyes?"
The man said: "Small has been staring at the city outside the south of the city. After the elapse of time, I saw that a blaze suddenly burst into the city. From the outside of the city, the fire could be seen soaring into the night sky. The small one was sure that there was a fire in the city. Quickly return immediately and come to report. "
Although Duan Shao tried his best to control his emotions, Mei Yujian still couldn't conceal his excitement and excitement, and said to Shen Tulu: "Great Metropolitan Governor, we succeeded in burning grain, and we hope to return to our country."
But Shen Tuluo said cautiously: "His Royal Highness, this person only saw it outside the city, did not enter the city, nor saw the Huize Ze Granary on fire, whether or not the granary was burnt, we are not completely sure yet."
Duan Shao nodded and said: "Yes, it must be determined without doubt."
"If the ninjas succeed, they will immediately withdraw from the city." Shen Tuluo said: "When they come back, we can know whether they succeeded."
"It makes sense." Although not completely sure, Duan Shao was very clear in his heart that he could see the fire in the city outside the city. The fierceness of the fire can be imagined. If it is an ordinary fire, it is impossible to see it outside the city. When the grain and grass filled with grains caught fire, there would be such fierceness. The ninjas had already completed the task in nine or nine times. They were in a good mood and laughed: "Mr. Dudu, we haven't been drunk for a while, this palace is now Some are greedy, how about two drinks together? "
Shen Tuluo was cautious in doing things. At this time, he dared not completely determine the success of the mission, but when he saw Duan Shao ’s excitement, it was not good to touch the prince ’s mood. He smiled and said: "There is a fine wine from the emperor in the cabin. Stored in the bilge, he immediately ordered someone to fetch it. "
The warship where Shen Tuluo is located is the first warship of the East Qi Navy. It is very large and the main cabin is very spacious.
There were two jars of wine on the table, but it was very simple to serve wine. Now the sailor is short of food, the morale is unstable, and the soldiers are still not full. If at this time His Royal Highness had good wine and vegetables, the soldiers under his hands knew, It is inevitable that dissatisfaction will arise. For a while, Duan Shao eats with the soldiers. Naturally, he does not want to destroy the impression that the crown prince shares with them the pains of the soldiers.
After two glasses of wine, Duan Shao's face was even stronger, and he smiled and said, "Dadu, I can't think of Fei Chan's endurance to make such a big contribution for me. After the restoration of the country, this palace is really good. Reward them. "After a pause, he replied:" But Mr. Mo is still the leader! "
Shen Tuluo said: "Although Mo Ying has become a disciple of the East China Sea, since he is a disciple of the Shen family, no matter where he goes, he will come forward at the time of the national crisis."
"Mr. Mo is a master of the state, and Neng is naturally outstanding." Duan Shaoduan cupped: "In fact, this palace sometimes thinks that if the state master makes a shot, the little emperor of Chu State is stabbed to death with a sword. ...! "Waiting for him to finish, Shen Tuluo immediately interrupted:" His Royal Highness, Wan must not have such a heart. The state teacher wants to assassinate the emperor of Chu Kingdom, it is not difficult, but once this precedent is set, the consequences are unimaginable. The first victim was His Royal Highness. The Northern Palace of Chu State is also the Grand Master, and once the National Master takes action, the Northern Palace of City will inevitably follow. "
Duan Shao smiled and said, "This palace is just talking casually."
"Moying the islands to protect the country, this is quite dangerous, but the Longshan appointment did not restrict the Master's disciples from being involved in the world." Shen Tu Luo Zheng said: "The minister is now only worried if there are descendants in the North Palace. , Will it be involved because of this. "
"He has an heir?"
"No one knows." Shen Tuluo shook his head and said: "Beijing has a hidden head, no one knows his whereabouts, and no one knows what he has done in recent years. If his successors suddenly appear, he will not Surprise. It's just that when I arrived in Daqi now, Moying had to go out of the mountain, which had already taken risks. "
Duan Shao slightly bowed his head and asked, "Yes, I haven't seen Mr. Mo in these days. Where is he?"
"His Royal Highness, he will naturally appear when he should appear." Shen Tuluo said: "Still don't let too many people know that he has come out of the mountain, the soldiers under his hands only think that those flying cicadas are endured by His Royal Highness, do not know Their owner is Moying. "
Duan Shaodao: "Yes, let's ...!" Haven't finished speaking yet, I heard the voice from outside the cabin: "Dadu, there is a signal on the shore."
Shen Tuluo and Duan Shao got up at the same time, walked to the window, looked over to the south bank, and when they saw a signal from the shore, Duan Shaoxi said: "It should be Fei Chan's forbearance." Commanded: "Let the ship let them come!" "
The two went out of the cabin, and soon a small boat carrying four ninjas boarded the warship. These ninjas were all masked in black. Fei Chan's Ninja has always been dressed like this. It seems very mysterious and nobody. Having seen their looks, Duan Shao quickly stepped forward and asked Shen Sheng, "Are you finished the task?"
A ninja came up and knelt on one knee: "Burn the granary and complete the mission!"
"Okay!" Duan Shao clapped, "You guys are doing very well, hahaha ..... Governor, now it seems that we really want to have a few drinks."
Shen Tuluo glanced, but asked calmly: "Why are you a group of five people performing a mission, why only four of you come back? Where is the other one?"
"When we retreated, we were chased and killed by officers and soldiers in the city. The leader of Danfu shot the arrows and led them away." The ninja said: "The leader wants to stay in the city temporarily to recover the wounds. By the way, he will investigate the information. The injury will recover and return immediately. "
After the task of burning grain was completed, Duan Shao actually didn't care whether Fei Chan had endured the damage or not. At this time, he still asked hypocritically: "Is he seriously injured? Will he send someone to rescue?"
"The injury is not serious, only the leg is injured, and the movement is inconvenient." Ninja said: "The leader is good at hiding whereabouts, but the chase soldiers can't help him."
Duan Shaohan said with a smile: "It's so good. You have made great achievements, and you will naturally have a big reward when you go back. Let's go to rest first." Waving his hand and signaling Fei Chan to retreat, the four ninjas retreated. Dudu, you ’re done, we can rest assured. The granary in Huize City will be burned, and the news will soon spread out. If Chu Guochao Tang learns this news, it will inevitably be in disarray. We can get on with Chu for a few days. The Chinese contacted them to withdraw their troops from Linzi. "Feeling the hope of reinstatement, he stretched his waist and said:" The governor has not rested for a few days. Now I can sleep well and recuperate. We have many more to come. Things to do. "
Shen Tuluo learned that the granary was indeed destroyed, and his expression stretched a lot. He smiled and said, "His Royal Highness is really affected these days. The day is about to dawn, and His Royal Highness rests earlier."
Duan Shao did not rest on the big ship, but arrived on another humble ship.
There are dozens of warships in the Dongqi Navy, but they are divided into three. In addition to one guarding the estuary in the east of Huaishui, the other two are cruising on the upper reaches of Huaishui.
After the defeat of the East China Sea Division, the Dongqi Division was invincible on the water. Even if the troops were divided, no navy could pose a threat to them.
The sailors led by Shen Tuluo had two main warships and another dozen or so small warships. The total number of sailors was more than 2,000.
Duan Shao rests at a different place every night. Rotating and resting on dozens of ordinary warships is to make people unclear where he is.
After the excitement, there was a burst of tiredness, and it was only one hour before dawn, lying in the cabin. Although the tiredness did not diminish, he still couldn't sleep, but he had already calculated the next negotiation with Chu.
Mastering the lifeblood of the Qinhuai Army, Duan Shao did not want to simply let the Chu State withdraw its troops. Even if the final conditions were not much, once the negotiations were started, it was naturally a lion ’s mouth at the beginning, which related to the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses Duan Shao believes that Chu State should make huge concessions.
In a daze, suddenly heard the sound of exclamation coming from outside, Duan Shaohe sat up suddenly, heard the cluttered footsteps on the deck side, he was not aware of it, and he could not put on his outer shirt and rushed out. The cabin, seeing the figure shaking outside the cabin, was about to inquire, and suddenly felt the unusual gleaming around the corners of his eyes, turned his head and looked, his face suddenly changed.
I saw that the fire was not far away from the sky, but there were two warships burning.
Duan Shao was shocked and rushed to the side of the ship, his hands on the side of the ship, his eyes widened.
It was just dawning at the moment, two warships were wrapped up in the fire, and a shout came from the burning warship. It was also seen that someone had jumped into the river from the ship, Duan Shao trembling, turned around, behind him Dozens of sailors were already crowded, all with swords out of their sheaths, but they could only watch the fire engulfing the ship there.
"What the is going on?" Duan Shao shouted.
"His Royal Highness, those two ships suddenly caught fire, and ... and the burning speed is very fast, just a moment, they were swallowed by the fire." Duan Shao was an behind him. The guard was also shocked.
"Close to the past ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Hurry up to save the fire." Duan Shao waved: "Then ... Is that a grain ship?"
The Dongqi Marine Division had two special ships to store grain in the cabin. Duan Shao couldn't care about how many sailors were burnt to death on the ship at this time. What immediately came to mind was the safety of the grain ship.
There are more than ten warships around the main battleship, which are roughly similar in appearance. Although Duan Shao knows that there are two warships dedicated to storing grain, he is not sure which two are exactly. Ship, what he fears most now is that the two grain ships are destroyed.
Once the grain ship was destroyed, the food of the Dongqi naval division was cut off instantly, and two thousand officers and soldiers would start starving from today.
At this moment, several warships have approached the ships that were on fire. Obviously, they all wanted to approach the past to rescue the fire, but the fire was too fierce. If the two burning ships are really food ships, it may be too late to save the food.
