Vol 5 Chapter 13: The fire seals the mountain (one more)

He Zhi received a letter from Su Fengnuan, and immediately followed her out of the city with Fifty Guards.
Ye Xi had been guarding outside the city, seeing the little master bringing a hundred guards into the city, and bringing two thousand officers and soldiers and guards out of the city, thinking that there was a big deal to do. Excited for a while, after waiting for Su Fengnuan to take the people out of the city, he immediately followed him impatiently.
The little master took the people out of the city and hurried for twenty miles to a mountain ring. He got off his horse, probed the terrain, and began to order the palace guards and officers and soldiers to lie in wait.
Su Fengnuan, Ye Xi and others followed here, found a hidden place half a mile behind the little master, and stopped. Su Fengnuan said to Ye Xi, "This must be the path of Cheng Gu. It seems that I As expected, the King of Xiang County will attack Cheng Gu."
Ye Xi said, "Cheng Gu has the Bauhinia county lord in his hands. Looking at this posture, it seems that people are going to kill when they come. Doesn't the king of Xiang County care about the life and death of his daughter?"
Su Fengnuan said, "If he is concerned about the life and death of his daughter, he will not let her daughter stay in Peicheng for three years. The king of Xiangjun has to do a big thing, a daughter can't stop him."
Ye Xi sighed, "I really didn't expect the King of Xiang County to be so cruel."
Su Fengnuan said, "It can be seen how decisive he wanted to kill Cheng Gu Zhixin, and he did not hesitate to bury his daughter."
Ye Xi nodded and said, "I don't know what deal Cheng Gu reached with him, so that after the transaction is completed, he will kill Cheng Gu."
Su Fengnuan said, "Now we have to save Cheng Guhou and ask him carefully."
Ye Xi blinked, looked at the person the little master was leading, and then counted a few of their own people, and said, "Are you sure you want to save Cheng Gu?"
Su Fengnuan said, "Cheng Gu has been with the Xiangjun king for many years, and he has sought the skin of the tiger. By now, he definitely knows what kind of person the Xiangjun king is. Is he coming here, can he be prepared? I am afraid he has not only brought Shen Zhilan and Zijing. The county owner must have brought some people. If they fight first and lose both ends, we are enough."
Ye Xi smiled "ha", "If you infer this way, it's really enough."
Su Feng Nuan said, "Even if it is not enough, I have a way."
Ye Xi looked at her, "What method? Transfer the soldiers? Where to transfer? The officers and soldiers are here."
Su Feng Nuan said, "Make a formation."
Ye Xi suddenly said, "This is a good idea." At the end of the word, he took a look at the terrain and said, "The terrain is good, suitable for formation. Do it now?"
Su Fengnuan shook his head, "Don't worry, wait, so as not to make any movement and alarm them, Cheng Gu really brought some people here, fight with them, we will get closer to them."
Ye Xi nodded.
The two agreed, and waited incognito for the dynamic changes ahead.
After waiting for about two hours, when the sky was about to become clear, there was a faint movement ahead.
Su Fengnuan and Ye Xi looked at them, and saw a group of men and horses slowly approaching, about thirty or forty people, driving six carts, currently riding on a tall horse, one wearing a grey-cyan robe, carrying a group of people. Wearing a leather hat, you can't see clearly.
Ye Xi looked at it and asked, "Is that person Cheng Gu?"
Su Fengnuan shook his head, "That's a dummy."
Ye Xi was startled, "Dummy? No! How did you see it? Can the dummy ride on a horse?"
Su Fengnuan laughed, "Brother, why are you stupid, how can the dummy not be riding on the horse? It's just that we can't see it now, he must help the line on his legs."
Ye Xi looked at it for a moment and patted his forehead, "It's really a fake! His arms and body are in the same posture, very stiff, not moving, and his body swayed slightly as the horse walked." After the words fell, he said, " Is this Cheng Gu's dummy? Talent."
Su Fengnuan didn't speak, looked at the carriages, and carefully smelled the air, then suddenly waved his hand and said, "Brother, He Zhi, take someone back."
Ye Xi asked immediately, "What's the matter?"
Su Fengnuan said, "If my guess is correct, the six cars contained sulphur and saltpetre. These things are all flammable." After the words fell, she looked around. Said, "This mountain forest, the snow has already melted now, although the grass and trees are withered, but the wood is everywhere. If it is caught by flammable things, then this barren mountain surrounded by mountains is afraid that there will be a big fire. By then, We have no choice but to be burned by fire."
Ye Xi suddenly widened his eyes, "Oh, this is something you did in the fire battle that you defeated Chu Han famously in Yanbei. This was used by Cheng Gu's learning." The words fell and waved. , Said, "What are you waiting for, let's withdraw quickly."
When He Zhi and others heard it, they all backed away.
Su Feng Nuan Dian, together with Ye Xi and the others, also quickly withdrew back from this dangerous place.
Ahead, the little master waited for two hours with someone waiting for the rabbit, his hands and feet were numb, and he was overjoyed when he finally saw someone who was waiting. After a glance, that person was Cheng Gu, who was accustomed to wearing gray-blue robes. Without saying anything, waved his hand, "Let's shoot and kill."
The officers and soldiers immediately fired their bows and arrows, and the "swish" arrow feathers shot at the team. Suddenly, the driver and the guard fell to the ground with the arrow, making a miserable shout.
Cheng Gu, currently riding on the horse, also shot an arrow in the chest.
The little master was overjoyed when he saw it. He was overjoyed and cursed loudly, "Cheng Gu, you also have today, let's see how the little master broke your corpse today." When the words fell, he waved his hand, "Don't let go of arrows." Then , He jumped out in a vertical leap, and defended the hundred black mansions behind him, "Pull him down from the horse. Master really looks at him. With such a little ability, there is no room to fight back. He has been mobilized to help out. I really can't stand him."
He scolded dirty and rushed forward, and hundreds of black-clothed guards rushed forward as well.
Just then they rushed to Cheng Gu's side, and when he pulled him off the horse, following the action of pulling him down, the dummy's body made a loud "bang" and suddenly exploded.
Little Master couldn't prevent it, and was blown out at that time.
He screamed "Ah" and landed on the grass not far away. He was blown off his hand and broken his leg. He suddenly made a horrible and painful sound like a pig.
At the same time, all six large vehicles burst open. All of a sudden, a large scream sounded. In an instant, the flames rose for several meters, the cold wind blew, and the flames fell on the surrounding grass and dry trees. , The grease of pine first took the lead.
In a moment, there was fire everywhere.
The little master was so painful and screaming. Seeing a fire all around, he was silly and frightened for a moment, and suddenly shouted, "No, it's a plan, Cheng Gu, a bitch's son, hurry up and help me withdraw. !"
A loyal, uninjured guard found him in the panic, quickly lifted him from the ground and led him back.
The officers and soldiers hiding in the ring of the mountain were also dumbfounded. They did not expect this to happen, and they retreated in panic.
However, this time is when the mountain wind is the strongest. When the fire meets the wind, the wind encourages the fire, and the fire spreads. After a while, it spread to the entire mountain ring. Along the mountain ring, the fire became a big fire cage. The little master, a hundred black-clothed house guards, and two thousand house soldiers were all surrounded in the fire cage.
The little master was completely shocked.
The government guard dragged the young master to run, but it was too fast for the fire to spread. The strong wind blew up and the flames fell on the clothes. The little master screamed "Ah", and the clothes caught fire. After a while, he led to the dark guard. In between, the two became two fireballs.
The little master was burned alive by the fire amid the screams.
None of the hundred black mansion guards ran out.
Two thousand soldiers have also become the dish of the fire.
Su Fengnuan, Ye Xi, He Zhi and others just retreated to another safe mountain, they saw the fire everywhere, and after a while, the fire was set up, and half of the sky was dyed red.
Ye Xi patted Su Fengnuan's shoulder and said to her, "Sister, thank you for coming, otherwise you brother and me, this time, I might have burned to death with that little master."
Su Fengnuan laughed, "You won't, they run slowly, it's okay for your light work to escape these fires."
Ye Xi withdrew his hand, touched his own heart and said, "This Cheng Gu is really a talent. With only a few dozen people, he has exchanged a small master of the Xiangjun king and a hundred excellent guards, plus two thousand officers and soldiers. ."
Su Fengnuan said, "The little master is not stupid, but he has been resentful with Cheng Gu for a long time, and he is eager for meritorious deeds. Therefore, I did not see carefully that the dummy riding on the horse is not Cheng Gu at all. Cheng Gu must have been caught. Because of his psychology, so, with such a rough blindfold, he was easily cleaned up."
Ye Xi said, "Hey, two thousand officers and soldiers, that's how they died."
Su Fengnuan was silent for a moment, and said, "We have traveled far and wide and came for Cheng Gu. Naturally, we can't provoke the two thousand officers and soldiers. Even if we can save them, we can't destroy Cheng Gu's plan to save them. Otherwise, we will ourselves. Will fall into passive danger."
Ye Xi nodded, "This is the truth." After the words fell, he said, "This account should be settled on the guards of Xiangnan County. It is not an exaggeration to punish the Nine Clan by borrowing officers and soldiers privately to the King of Xiang County."
Su Fengnuan said coldly, "Naturally, we have to settle accounts with him. Even if we don't, the paper won't contain the fire, and the court will always settle accounts for him."
Ye Xi suddenly said, "Is the eldest prince supervising the country? When this happened today, two thousand officers and soldiers were burned to death due to the private transfer of troops. The county guard confessed the words of the king of Xiangjun. Then, how did the prince treat his ally, Hunan? Shirley, that's interesting."
Su Fengnuan also smiled and said, "So, we can't let the county guard die. We will help the eldest prince to him into Beijing. This is a good thing, we can do it smoothly."
