Da Wei Chun

Chapter 229 White Armor Thief

People leave traces, geese leave their voices.

Li Chengzhi walked back and forth at the base of the city wall under the slope with his hands behind his back. He walked back and forth for more than half an hour in a short period of twenty or thirty feet, probably not a hundred times, but fifty or sixty times.

From time to time, Li Chengzhi would pick up a piece of dry mud and hold it in his hand and slowly knead it.As he walked, strands of fine soil emerged from Li Chengzhi's fingers and scattered with the wind.

Daxi followed him suspiciously.

What kind of strange habit is this?
Some people like to pace when they think, some people like to stroke their beards when they think, and some people like to pet eagles and dogs, such as Congfu.

But it's the first time I've seen someone who likes to play with mud...

Just as he was guessing wildly, Li Chengzhi stopped abruptly. Daxi didn't notice and almost bumped into him.

what happened?
He raised his head in surprise, and found Li Chengzhi staring at the city wall above his head with a sneer on his playful face.

Just as Da Xi came over, he also wanted to take a look, but Li Chengzhi stretched out his right hand in front of him and spread out his five fingers.

There are dozens of grains of rice lying in the palm, but the color is a little yellow, like old rice that has been stored for many years
Where is it?
Da Xi was about to ask, but he didn't open his mouth, his pupils shrank sharply.

Where else could it have come from?

It is clear that Li Chengzhi kneaded them one by one from which dry mud clods?

That's not ordinary mud, but... the rammed earth on the city wall?
Daxi raised his head violently: the wall is dark and shiny, all stone bricks, where can we see any traces of rammed earth?
It's not that there is no rammed earth on the city walls of Jingzhou. No matter how rich Wei Wei was, he couldn't build a city made entirely of stone bricks.

The city walls of Jingzhou are no different from those of other prefectures. They are all built by digging the soil on the spot and tamping it with glutinous rice soup.

Then one or two layers of stone bricks will be wrapped outside, one is to prevent the enemy from shooting arrows into the wall, climbing like a ladder, and the other is to prevent rain.

However, because the rebels did not have siege weapons such as rushing cars and ladders, and the upper stone bricks of the city wall were all in good condition, then where did Li Chengzhi rub the rammed earth that he rubbed hundreds of catties for more than half an hour? of?

Da Xi took a sharp breath: "Have you found the secret passage?"

Li Chengzhi sneered: More than just a secret way?
The Chamber of Secrets is more or less the same.

Was he just looking for these rice for this hour?
And why make the city as quiet as possible?

In addition to looking for other traces and judging the specific location of the dark room, he is still observing whether there is anyone in it.

I don't know how wide it is, but it's only three or four feet long!
If you observe carefully, within four or five feet, every one to two meters, there must be one or two inconspicuous small holes in the brick joints of the city, which are obviously used for ventilation.

If you stick it to the wall and listen to it, you can hear the sound of "rustling" like a mouse running inside.

But where are there so many mice?

This is clearly someone walking on tiptoe, and the movement of clothes brushing against the wall.

The voice was so clear that it was probably only separated by one or two stone bricks at most. Li Chengzhi suspected that if there was a collision with the car, it would not take two hits to make a hole.

But they are here to suppress the rebellion, and they don't need to attack the city. How can there be such a thing?

Da Xi was startled and horrified.

It seems that Li Chengzhi's discovery process was so simple, with only a few grains of rice, he found where the thief was hiding.But the question is, who would have thought in advance that people could still be hidden in the city walls?
Daxi asked eagerly: "Since there are air holes for ventilation, it must be possible to peek from the inside out... Seeing the army besieging the city, are the thieves already aware of it?"

"It's very possible!" Li Chengzhi smiled slightly and sneered, "But what can I do?"

How can it be?

Da Xi was stunned.

Yes, so what?
Even the inner city has been sealed off, and even if the thieves are shocked, they are already a turtle in the urn.

Take another step back, even if the double has already sneaked into the city, it is enough to screen slowly, it is nothing more than a little more time, and you can always find it...

Li Chengzhi pondered again: "But it's still the same sentence, if you can avoid casualties, try not to cause more casualties... Don't make any noise, first pass an order to let the defenders put down the ladder, first let the two brigades of soldiers enter the city, and then attack from both sides ..."

Daxi's eyes moved slightly?

Li Chengzhi just didn't want to cause more casualties?

more than!

There should be a meaning of not wanting to take advantage of Hu Shichang...

Daxi nodded slightly, and was about to deliver an order when he heard a commotion in the city, and raised his head subconsciously.

I don't know when, there was a group of soldiers in the city, surrounded by a general, about 40 or [-] years old, who was four or five points similar to Hu Baozong.

"It's Hu Duo?" Da Xi whispered, reminding Li Chengzhi by the way, "The third son of Hu Hai, the uncle of Hu Baozong, is also the governor of Longdong..."

"I know!" Li Chengzhi replied softly, and instinctively took a second look.

After Li Rui and Li Cong came back, they mentioned that their father and Hu Duo guarded the city wall together, and they seemed to have a good relationship.

And it seems that he wants to ask Hu Duo to give him a daughter...

Are you kidding me?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Hu Duo clenched his fists and bowed to Daxi: "Xi Zhonglang!"

Daxi just nodded, wondering if a hole had been dug in the city, and Hu Duo invited him into the city.

But Hu Duo didn't continue. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Li Chengzhi with a smile: "But Nephew Chengzhi? I just met Huaide just now, and I realized that it was you who was holding the order... It really looks like a dragon and a phoenix. My nephew is very handsome..."

Good manners?
Li Chengzhi couldn't help touching his eyes.

Although the swelling has disappeared, the bruises are still there. I guess it's almost like a panda, so how can there be any style?

"Uncle Shi, thank you!" Li Chengzhi responded, and just raised his hand, ready to say something perfunctory, as if he heard a faint roar in his ears: "Li... Chengzhi..."

Li Chengzhi was startled, and looked at the wall two or three steps away from him in disbelief.

The sound seemed to come from the walls.

Misheard, or hallucinations?
He turned his head abruptly, and saw that Daxi was clearly the same as him, with a horrified expression.

Immediately, another voice came out: "Liu...Liu Hui..."

But after only shouting two words, the voice stopped abruptly, as if someone covered his mouth.

Then there was another bang of "Tong", as if something was broken, and it seemed like a heavy object fell to the ground...

"Li Wenxiao..." Li Chengzhi whispered, "It seems to be Li Wenxiao..."

Daxi's eyeballs protruded.

No wonder he found the voice familiar?

Li Chengzhi was surprised and delighted.

To my surprise, I was going to attack both sides calmly, but I didn't want to be knocked out by Hu Duo's "Nephew Chengzhi"?
Happily, Li Wenxiao's last sound clearly reminded himself that Liu Huiwang was inside...

Both of them had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief when they suddenly heard a chaotic sound inside the wall, not only the sound of many people running around, but also the sound of iron objects colliding.

This is going to jump the wall in a hurry...

Da Xi didn't even think about it, he roared: "Mr. Hu, hurry up...the bandit chief is hiding under your feet...order someone to stop him..."

Thief Chief?

Liu Huiwang?
really……

Hu Duo was startled suddenly, his face was full of ecstasy, he turned his head and left without even saying hello.

The surprise on that face was overflowing, how could Li Chengzhi not see it?

This Hu Shichang actually grasped the last straw...

He sighed secretly, and shouted: "Li Rui, dig the wall!"

Following Li Chengzhi's order, the five hundred white-armored soldiers rushed towards them as if they were juggling.

When did Li Chengzhi prepare it, and he didn't realize it?

Daxi was suspicious, when he heard a noise from the top of the city, he looked up, and saw how many people disappeared in the blink of an eye in the city wall surrounded by ants just now?

His face changed, and he muttered belatedly: "Reckless?"

Did you know?

Li Chengzhi glared at him.

Hu Shichang, who was originally dead but not alive, actually found a glimmer of life because of Daxi's exclamation?
I'm so unhappy...

Daxi's face changed several times, and after a few breaths, he turned black and asked through gritted teeth: "Have Hu Shichang and Hu Duo been waiting for this moment for a long time? No wonder you want me to send an order to hang soldiers into the city? I'm afraid they will be dug up. It's dark, and the door can't be dug..."

What do you think?

Li Chengzhi sighed sadly: "You are staring outside the city, I will go in and have a look..."

"Let me go..." Da Xi stopped him, and then muttered, "Even if you hold orders, you still have no official status..."

It means that Jingzhou is always Hu Shichang's territory. With Li Chengzhi's status, he can't hold it down at all...

"Do you think I'm going in to grab credit?" Li Chengzhi laughed suddenly, "I don't care if I can win, this grab is tantamount to cutting off Hu Shichang's last way of life, how could he not jump over the wall in a hurry? Forget it, let him do it first Well, it's better than forcing internal strife...

I just want to go in and take a look, and remind Hu Shichang, don't fall into the trap of Li Daitao, the thief chief, and catch a fake substitute..."

And a stand-in?

How is it possible?
Li Chengzhi definitely didn't do it for this, otherwise he would just stand under the city and shout, why bother to enter the city?
Daxi didn't point it out, but just took out the emperor's order and handed it to Li Chengzhi: "Take it, it's very convenient..."

Li Chengzhi didn't refuse, and put it in his arms.

"Let the ladder go!"

Following Daxi's shout, the defenders slid down a long ladder.

Not long after, Li Chengzhi took Li Rui and dozens of guards to the city wall.

Looking at his back, Daxi's eyes moved slightly.

He knew that Li Chengzhi wasn't telling the truth, but he couldn't guess what it meant.

What else could Li Chengzhi do for it?
How can there be so many real doubles and fake doubles? Isn't this a nesting doll?

Li Chengzhi wanted to see if Li Wenxiao was really alive?

Whenever he thinks of Li Wenxiao, he thinks of the bronze plaque engraved with the prophecy of "Peach and Plum" mentioned in Li Wenxiao's secret letter.

Wang is called king, and "Cheng" is called emperor?
How is it possible?
……

Liu Hui's teeth were about to be gritted with hatred.

Is it really because of killing too many lives that the heavens want to destroy his Liu family?
It's not that he insists on hiding in this mouse hole, but that he has nowhere to hide except here.

When the monk rebellion first broke out, Hu Shichang captured and imprisoned all Buddhist believers in the city, regardless of whether they believed in Mahayana or Hinayana, in the name of hunting down monks and bandits.

Even when I saw a man with sparse hair on the street, I would stop him and question him.

May I ask Liu Huiwang and a team of monks and guards, how can these more than a hundred shining bald heads sneak into the city quietly?

no chance at all...

I wanted to hide for a few days, but I lasted for ten and a half months. As soon as the army retreated and I dressed up a little, I could easily get out of the city.

Unexpectedly, the damned Li Wenxiao drank the hiding place...

Liu Huiwang was full of ferocity, and punched Li Wenxiao's chest one after another, roaring like a wild beast: "Li Wenxiao, I saved you with good intentions, why did you put me to death?"

The place where Liu Huiwang punched was exactly where Li Wenxiao was injured. Every time he punched, Li Wenxiao would spit out a mouthful of blood.

Even so, Li Wenxiao didn't yell, but gritted his teeth tightly like a hungry wolf, with a cruel smile on his face.

"Save me? Cough...cough...couldn't it be for the surplus money of my Wuzhi Li family... I'm afraid I have dug up my house all over the place? At this time...you still lie to me...saying that Wuzhi is not Lost...if Wuzhi hadn't been lost, how could Xi Kangsheng have come here?"

Li Wenxiao coughed up blood one by one: "I have pity on my Li family... villain, let's die together..."

He was hopeless, and he was afraid that he would die in the next breath, but Liu Huiwang didn't think he was a burden, so he insisted on taking him with him?
From that moment on, Li Wenxiao knew that his Wuzhi Li family was extinct.Otherwise, Liu Huiwang wouldn't still try to trick him...

As for whether he was killed by Xi Kangsheng or Liu Huiwang, it made no difference to him.

If he hadn't been tricked by Liu Huiwang, he wouldn't have come to this point. Naturally, everything would be blamed on Liu Huiwang...

"So what?" Liu Huiwang punched Li Wenxiao's chest hard, and laughed grimly, "That's right, I ordered the slaughter of your Wuzhi Li family... you dog thief, don't you think I don't know, but Delusion to cooperate with the white armor thief inside and out? If grandpa doesn't kill you, which one will you kill..."

Li Wenxiao was so shocked that he even forgot to spit out the blood, his mouth was bubbling with blood bubbles, and he stared at Liu Huiwang in disbelief.

Now that he knew it, why did he watch him give Li Chengzhi tens of thousands of elite rebels as gifts?

"Of course, to lure Xi Kangsheng into the bait... Don't say it's only 20, even if you die another 20 is worth it... It's a pity..."

Following the word "unfortunately", Liu Huiwang's facial features seemed to have changed, and there was no longer a trace of the rich and jade-like look on his face, "It's a pity that my Liu family's great career..."

The great achievements of the Liu family... Liu family?
Li Wenxiao was terrified, and stared at Liu Huiwang as if he had seen a ghost: "No...you're not...cough...cough..."

What he wanted to say was: You are not Liu Huiwang...

But he was choked back by a mouthful of blood.

As if blessings came to his heart, Li Wenxiao suddenly remembered some miracles about Liu Huiwang: in the morning, the Nanshan Mountains are at dusk and the Beihai Sea is at dusk, and thousands of miles can be traveled in a day...

This wasn't a miracle at all, but a substitute...or, in other words, a twin brother?

Otherwise, Liu Huiwang wouldn't say anything about "Liu's Great Achievement"...

"So what if you guessed it? I'm afraid my elder brother has already left the country with Murong Qinggu..."

After a pause, his face darkened again.

Elder brother is already terminally ill, even if he escapes, how long can he live?

According to the plan, he should be the one who escaped, right?
What went wrong?
Thinking about it again, it wasn't all because of Li Wenxiao drinking out of his hiding place, but because Li Chengzhi clearly had doubts, otherwise he wouldn't have made the army besiege the city, let alone wander around in a place of tens of feet...

"Li Chengzhi..." Liu Huiwang roared, his teeth clenching.

He gave a sharp pause, then grinned grinningly and said, "Don't worry, you won't die so easily... No matter what, you will be cut into pieces by that Xi Kangsheng, and you will die for a hundred days, so that you will die without a place to die, forever Only by entering reincarnation can I relieve Liu Hui's true hatred..."

As he spoke, he raised his sleeves and wiped the blood on Li Wenxiao's face.

Thousands of cuts to pieces... Violent corpses for a hundred days... Death without a place to die... Never enter reincarnation...

Li Wenxiao's eyes popped sharply, he breathed heavily in his chest, and fainted on the spot.

"Hahahahaha... Fa Neng..."

Liu Huizhen roared wildly, "Throw this thief out..."

"No!" Fa Neng respectfully responded, called several monks, and carried Li Wenxiao to the inner wall.

A gap has been broken in the inner wall, about a foot above the ground.At this time, a raging fire was burning under the wall. Besides, there were dozens of porcelain altars filled with kerosene at the feet of the monks and guards guarding the gap.

Countless soldiers surrounded the wall and were scrambling to put out the fire.But splashing water is useless at all, it can only be covered with sand.

But as soon as it was covered, some monks would throw a few oil jars down from half the wall, and the fire was even fiercer than before...

Hu Shichang and Hu Duo were two zhang away, knowing that Liu Huiwang was inside the wall, but they could only worry.

Even if Liu Huiwang could not be captured alive, even if his head was chopped off, how could Xi Kangsheng recognize him if he was burned to a charred corpse?
Just as he was burning with anxiety, he suddenly heard a roar from inside the wall: "Hu Shichang, let the soldiers put away their guns, and the monk will send you a piece of great merit..."

Hu Duo suddenly raised his head and took a closer look, who is it not Liu Huiwang?
He shouted anxiously: "Retract the gun...Retract the gun, catch it..."

After a few breaths, I saw a few monks throwing it vigorously, and a figure was thrown down, hitting several soldiers.

He has been an official under the same roof for several years, and he is even more like a life-and-death enemy. How could Hu Shichang not recognize that this is Li Wenxiao?

But how much is a Li Wenxiao worth?
Hu Shichang's beard trembled excitedly: "Liu Huiwang, even if you are going to die, why are you suffering from the torture of fire? Why don't you come down to the city, and I promise you good wine and good meat..."

"Hahaha..." Before Hu Shichang could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the monk's maniacal laughter, "Hu Shichang, how do you know that I am suffering, not reborn in bliss? Didn't you hear that when my believers passed away? scriptures?"

Hu Shichang turned pale suddenly.

Shine the sacred fire, burn my sins.Wash away the dust and go to bliss...

No wonder you want to set fire to it?

It turned out that this demon monk wanted to set himself on fire...

How to do how to do?
Hu Shichang's eyes were tearing apart, he stared closely at the white clothes on half of the wall, as if he had seen himself being put on the execution ground, which was a typical ending...

He was startled and frightened, but there was nothing he could do. He was ashamed of himself when he suddenly saw Liu Hui pointing at him behind him, and shouted in surprise and anger, "The white armor thief...isn't he dead yet?"

White armor thief... White armor soldier?

No, it's Li Chengzhi...

Hu Shichang turned his head sharply, and saw dozens of soldiers in white armor standing three or four zhang away.

If you take a closer look, there is a figure in golden armor hidden in it.

Li Chengzhi sighed secretly, and walked out helplessly.

If it weren't for the fear that Li Wenxiao would die in a second and Mao wouldn't even be able to ask, he would never have shown up so early.

Wouldn't it be nice to quietly watch Liu Huiwang being burned to death?
　18 is definitely not a problem, but the poor ones may not be able to be completed... What should I do?
　　It can't be cut, it's impossible to cut this thing for the rest of your life, because you have to try to maintain a harmonious family... So, please let me go! ! !
