Chapter 135 thinks quickly in emergencies
Bi Chun sets out slowly, the vision hangs, light tunnel: „Lower official congratulated the Sir to have a meteoric rise, extremely official. Hearing the Sir must inspect the Longshan health/guard, Bei Zhi does not dare to neglect, is focusing on reorganizing the military affairs, awaits calmly the Sir to arrive, but does not know...... The Sir has not notified joins the army before dawn, initiative does my personal guard, assign Bei Zhi to call on is what truth?”
Yangling has swept one to both sides, sees only more than 20 high-ranking military officer standing out of respect both sides, the atmosphere does not dare to breathe heavily, but everybody are setting upright two ears, obviously to his purpose in coming is to care.
He smiles lightly, today attacks the Longshan health/guard, has Ding Qianshi is the planted agent, has not moved unexpectedly single-handed, has solved Bi Chun, he is raising the heart has put, therefore the manner is extremely calm.
Yangling was good to put in order by the flaw looked at one to Liu Biao, Liu Biao went forward immediately one step, shouted to clear the way loudly: „ In factory supervises, receiving orders imperial envoy Sir Yang to inspect the south of the Yangtze River, takes Longshan health/guard direction qian matter General Ding to report that Chalong Director mountain Wei makes Bi Chun be in conspiracy with vice- makes Lu Jiyun take a kickback on soldiers'pay and buy to open up wasteland and make a false report the soldier and weapon damage, practices graft while holding public office to line one's purse in every way, causing the seething popular discontent and officers to be miserable beyond description, the evidence is conclusive.
South of the Yangtze River all military administration Buddhist ceremonies, during the imperial envoy Sir does not inspect, all may edit observes the inquiry. Presently presents the imperial mandate, wears Bi Chun, Lu Jiyun to reject immediately, today deports returns to Beijing to get the crime. ”
Under the hall in an uproar, they already thought immediately today the imperial envoy joins the army towering, so the weapons meet, absolutely is not the good deed, cannot think that really wants Bu people, moreover vice director enabled to take unexpectedly altogether.
Trembling that Lu Jiyun listens, with finishing spring them is startled and anger. Direction qian matter Ding Lin has not thought that Liu Biaojing said him to come in the presence of everyone, on face red white: Is the imperial envoy wants to manage Bi Chun obviously, said that is receives his reporting to verify, right now he jumps to the Yellow River cannot wash clean.
Bi Chunjing gets angry: „Sir what this word? The lower officials always dedicate, this distinct...... Clearly is Ding Lin and this officer does not gather, harbors resentment the retaliation and making false accusations. The Sir cannot believe his statement of only one of the parties”.
Ding Linting steeling one's heart, jumped saying: „Finishes the division, what you do from be clear, you and do the land vice- cause to be in cahoots, accept bribes the soldier's rations and pay not real? The soldier's rations and pay should be in charge by my this qian matter officer according to the law, your why assurance? North when you go this property rights also give surnamed Lu, for fear that I touched on slightly......”.
Yang Ling beckons with the hand to stop, said: „This officer will certainly not act according to hears by rumor to punish. Do you want the evidence?”
He relaxes, said: „Comes the person, assumes the evidence!”
Immediately four foreigners, two held thick one pile of copy clerks, two lifted a box to walk the income, Yang Ling pointed at that copy clerk account saying: „This volume is the name register of officers, in the book the population 6539 people, if this officer now makes the officers roll call report enter. The check selects one by one, if the population differs hundred people up and down, this officer does not calculate that you brave territorial airspace pay”.
Bi Chunting has looked ashen immediately, differs hundred people? Differs thousand people to continue, the royal government pay appropriates according to this population. How does Yangling know? The tone so is how assured......
Certainly is Ding Lin this informs! He stared Ding Lin one eyes wickedly, that manner wishes one could to throw one to bite to death him.
Yangling points at another volume of copy clerk saying: „In the armed forces each soldier gives field one, by the government authorities supplies farm cattle, farm tool and seed, and levies grain taxes according to the share. For the health/guard the system of opening up wasteland, most parts of the land and other high-level high-ranking military officers by you are carved up now, only then some barren desolated lands still in the common soldier hand, you take by force and deceit, causing the common soldier not to think to live, has to be separated from the military roll, flees another region, is this also General Ding falsely accuses? Wants this officer to verify one by one?”
Finishes spring the face whiten. Both hands tremble, originally that neither arrogant nor servile stubborn makings completely did not see.
Yang Ling implored the tone, waved gently, the front two foreigners are holding about the account a point, back two foreigners put down the box, take out a shield.
That shield bound by the hardwood by the iron sheet makes, but looked at that shield surface already to rust away, shield wooden color Chen An. Somewhat moist green liver moss mark. Also does not know how long has not coated with lacquer maintenance, they are similar to the performance are common. Holds the shield, another extracts from already waist Piao blade, chops welcomes, the blade falls the shield broken, is similar to cuts the dish to be ordinary.
They early are prepared fortunately, causes good that the strength of blade acts bashful, making in the hand of shield the shield just a breakage immediately let go, takes advantage of opportunity also to hold a land mine from the box, Yang Ling sneered saying: „In the armed forces the firearm, must maintain appropriately, did you appropriate to service to construct the firearm housing money the royal government to do what have used? In this god crow hot thunder ten has two to explode loud?”
Bi Chun face upwards to heave a deep sigh, closes both eyes not to say a word, the land vice- causes to just like is lacerated the cockerel of throat to be ordinary, giggle does not know that said anything, suddenly hits the ground head first knees down, shivers unable to speak.
Yang Ling sighed, has turned head saying: „Except for your pro- Heiei team, what my Ming Dynasty this Wei Jun and beggar had to distinguish? Not to mention you...... When you oppose the enemy the Japanese pirate takes advantage...... Like that shameless not good behavior!”
He beckons with the hand, immediately clashes four foreigners, Bi Chun and Lu Jiyun according to turning in the place, tied up solid to enter in the accounts. In big tent quiet, some you eat the high-ranking military officer who the fish I eats the soup to startle two to fight the war and complexion to be pale.
Yangling complexion one slow, will say to audiences: „I know you and others many also illegal acts, but mostly is compelled by the situation, fears avoid for Shangguan, has to accept reserved that now this officer the elimination chief culprit, has been forced coercing into following this officer then not to investigate.”
More than 20 high-ranking military officers listened delightedly, crash-bang the mail-armor and helmet chaotic sound, has knelt immediately place, kowtows N'dow: „End will wait for many thanks Sir Yang to show mercy!”
Yang Ling smiles, the eye pours Ding Qianshi saying: „General Ding!”
Ding Lin shakes, hurries to leave ranks saying: „End in!”
Yang Ling dao: „In the armed forces may not one day not graceful. Now the Longshan health/guard your grades and salary is therefore highest, this heavy responsibility also wants you to take on temporarily much, when in the capital had the imperial edict to perform its own functions again”.
Ding Lin is overjoyed, hastily kneeling evil ways: „Bei Zhi is compliant!”
Yang Ling nodded, puts out a hand to point out: „Bi Chun the serious offense, is your great merit. He takes a kickback on soldiers'pay and makes a false report the soldier, to buy to open up wasteland, weapon badly to damage, you know how should do?”
Ding Linzheng has been startled, gains ground to find Yangling swiftly and fiercely meaningful glance. In heart one cold, hurries to reply: „End understands, the soldier's rations and pay of end immediately embezzling provide in the soldiers, measures the fields to return, the inventory soldier reported directs the commissioner, incurred Mu army, and serviced the maintenance weapon......”.
Yangling faint smile tunnel: „ Is very good, this officer will turn head to dispatch an official to visit you to do how. If some people obstruct to hobble, has an officer to take responsibility for you. Only made these to be insufficient, you must lead troops well, when the Japanese pirate came again, can fight, hurried back to the into the sea|nautical mile to make the fish turtle them.
Do not study Bi Chun such, will only pursue that belongings that behind others buttocks is attempting them to drop out, that is the common people depending on the life blood and sweat. Loses the conscience! ”
Ding Lin and under more than 20 high-ranking military officers is red in the face, being sweating profusely tunnel: „Is is, end will be compliant”.
Yang Ling sets out saying: „General Ding, you must restrain well to be good from the army, good. This officer must lead the criminal offender to return to the city immediately.”
Before Yang Ling has made up mind to begin, has sent for consulting with Ding Lin on this matter, Bi Chun, Lu Jiyun, so long as is arrested, under a group of people without a leader, even if Bi Chun the personal guard refuses to accept in him for a while. However wants them to revolt publicly does not have that courage, let alone Ding Lin many also somewhat personal, Ding Lin has the residence that the confidence represses.
Yangling has also thought requisition the Longshan health/guard to put down Yuan Xiong, if the present requisition the morale of troops not steady Longshan health/guard the officers, in chaotic armed forces Bi Chun trusted subordinate whether will put him to be difficult in secret secretly saying that for safety, Yangling decided that so long as the Longshan health/guard can maintain at present the stability is greatly friendly, does not dare to expect that they can play anything role.
Longshan Wei Jiangzuo stands up to draw back to the both sides hastily. 40 foreigners protect Yangling in the middle one after another, published the armed forces big tent, finds Guan Shouying and Zheng Dapeng two know well friends looks at dumbly in out of the door, on prison van that two piece together temporarily, Bi Chun and vacant of Lu of Jiyun face tying hands, saw that he comes out you to lower the head to stare him wickedly, that vision wishes one could to swallow him.
Yangling past and Guan Shouying, Zheng Dapeng were on intimate terms, now saw their appearance. The heart has does not endure. Therefore the footsteps stop have not actually passed to chitchat, is only in a low voice to with Ding wood-road: „In Longshan health/guard institute finishes spring the personal guard strength to be strongest. Caresses not the suitable pressure suitably, for them, do not serve with the kindness to them difficultly, will be your efficient helping”.
Where Ding Lin dares not to depend on, busy full mouth accepts saying: „Is is, the Sir felt relieved, although the small mind cannot compare the Sir, but several own soldiers can also hold, not difficultly for them”.
Yang Ling nodded, gradually went out of the armed forces, Min Wenjian and Zheng Baihu leads 300 picked troops also to remove, both sides were tents, planted thousand chief soldiers still to arm with knife to be ready with the rifle firing is alerting to each tent strictly, at this moment was distant in a tent some people to shout loudly: „I must see the imperial envoy Sir, I must see imperial envoy Sir”.
Yang Ling looks up, sees only in a tent to run a soldier, Haining Wei Jun has blocked him, several temperament irascible soldiers kick to turn him in the place, full by an experience and skill. All around atmosphere has been in a tumult immediately, the Yangling personal guard responsibility under is, holds the crossbow soldier to be vigilant continually horizontal carries Yagami Feng coldly arbalest.
Yangling coldly the tunnel: „A person, but also feared that he did act against heaven inadequately? Leads him to come!”
Haining guard beats savagely, that person unarmed does not dare to revolt, for fear that is mistaken as the assassin dies of punishment on a false charge, but holds to protect the strategic point, yelled: „I and Sir have old, do not hit me”.
Listened to Yang Ling personal guard to command that these Haining soldiers stopped the fists and feet, raised him, was with hands tied behind the back the double handwritten seal.
Yangling looks at that person, although is black and blue, but that facial features clearly are, is surprised. Arrests Bi Chunyuan Xiong, the arrangement person to observe not clear river darkly, needs to plan the matter that worries about to be too many, he has forgotten unexpectedly also in Bi Chunjun.
Yang Ling welcomed hastily two steps, told humanity: „Lets loose him quickly”, was saying goes forward to grab his hand, high and low sizes up saying: „Horse brother, is really you”.
Just had been hit, but sees Yangling to be very intimate to him, under felt extremely flattered has completely forgotten pain, was busy at accompanying to say with a smile: „Imperial envoy Sir, I...... Slightly......”.
Yang Ling said hastily: „Horse brother do not say that your I intersect for a long time, the brothers are always symmetric, now so called may kill the little brother ashamedly”.
Listened to him saying that immediately heart wild with joy. It seems like Yangling has not forgotten younger sister, is in the factory has supervised from the brother-in-law, Ha Ha, right now reaches the sky in a single bound.
Since the horse pitied has offended Bi Chun, after this marriage fizzled out, Bi Chunji disliked he, he was own soldier of being in good graces, moreover was promoted is assorted long. But was actually censured the big end of soldier by Bi Chunxun by, finally hurries to the horse breeding.
Has become the dogface of fine powder, has been far away from Bi Chun at present, Bi Chun has not blamed him actually again, can by his supercilious temper, has read the poetry book and a skill in martial arts, actually mixes with the old groom who several large characters do not know is breeding horses together, usually was shouted to drink. That day really does not feel better.
Afterward heard that gradually Yangling made a rapid career advance in the national capital, was pleasantly surprised, oneself younger sister was really eagle-eyed, this Yangling also was really not in the pond the thing. Originally he thought that from the younger sister look talent is the top picks, marries the post assist to be the concubine not only has owed the younger sister. Also lost completely the honor of Ma.
Now is swayed by personal gains and losses, for fear that Yangling entered Capital, in the emperor person the dragon, vision high no longer has liked from already the younger sister. He planned when other Yangling inspect registration interview. Searches Yang Ling's rumor.
But today Yangling unexpectedly suddenly dispatches troops, controls Longshan Wei Caizhi to enter the armed forces big tent, he has waited till the present, actually sees vice director Bi Chunhe to make Sir Lu tie up the vehicle, Yangling must leave immediately, for fear that this one leaves more inorganic met with him, simply was yelling flushed.
Yang Ling sees bronze flesh Li Hei even more, the imposing manner of but having an imposing appearance completely does not see. Attire...... Also somewhat is really poor, surprise tunnel: „Horse brother, you not in the armed forces, appointed own soldier? Is this......?”
Ding Lin sees from the armed forces in a private actually knew the imperial envoy Sir, in the heart is very surprised, but, since enters the Longshan health/guard is the groom, he sees has not seen, cannot call his name, curiously visits them.
Sees direction qian matter Ding Lin to stand in Yangling respectfully behind. Side that Sir from has also recognized. Was the past chicken calls county magistrate Sir Min unexpectedly, seized the chance to say loudly: „Sir. Since my younger sister and you private subscribe lifelong, Bi Chun vents anger in me, has not arrived at the Longshan health/guard, reduces to the groom to humiliate me in every possible way. Today saw you, I finally was the birth day, my younger sister from left with the Sir, has been waiting for you in Jinling......”.
On Yangling face one red, hurries to block this big mouth, said: „Horse brother, horse the brother, Bi Chun is arrested now, will be deported by me goes to the capital, General Ding has directed to cause temporarily substituting, I think that General Ding will again certainly not treat unjustly your”.
Ding Lin heard that this is the brother-in-law of imperial envoy Sir, immediately is all smile, said repeatedly: „, End will be lacking a personal guard team leader, had not found appropriately the candidate, if......”.
Listened a little to worry, Yangling and Bi Chunke was different, when production costs rise , prices rise too, did your solemn in factory supervise also feeling all right let from already the brother-in-law to be the slightly personal guard team leader in the health/guard?
His hurried say|way: „Sir, heard that in the factory just opens the desperately short of manpower, now the southern border war are extremely few, before the armed forces , the potency is inferior......”.
Sir Min blocks thread of conversation saying: „Sir, the salt soldier loses now extremely heavily, my subordinates three always only remain one, desperately short of high-ranking military officer. Permits writing Yunwu, my always knowledge really deep, might as well ask the Sir to mediate, how lets to my subordinates?”
He was saying has walked up, holds on arm to say with a smile: „World nephew, long time does not see, you may see were steadily sturdy”, was saying approached him fast in a soft voice saying: „Does idiot, how work as these many people you to make the Sir follow private? First goes to our army to treat, so long as your younger sister cannot run the Yang threshold, what you are anxious?”
One dull, this realized that from already extremely impatient, he already selected the status in Yangling, makes him arrange from the future not quite to be truly appropriate again in the presence of everyone, is busy at shutting up.
Yang Ling relaxed, changes Ding Lin saying: „Is my old friend, this person of civil and military scholarship is a groom truly to do work beneath one's ability, Sir Min serves one's country the anti- dwarf to kill the enemy, the buckle the most troops, soldiers Yi Zhao, actually the desperately short of high-ranking military officer, has General Ding been at present possible to be willing to release people?”
So long as let alone a groom, must walk with horse, Ding Lin does not dare not to comply. He said hurriedly: „Natural nature, that...... horse brothers then first return to Haining along with Sir Min, the transfer order procedure, the lower official manages afterward again”.
A skill in martial arts, literary talent also causes. However now has not connected with officially, the salt soldier does not recognize to him, Yangling inconveniencing makes him participate to arrest Yuan Xiong, then has sent 30 health/guard the officers, making lead to detain two prison van behind the large military forces slowly the line, from has led the brigade to speed away, rushes toward the customs duty yamen.
At this time the weather is greatly bright, the sunlight is bright. About thousand officers transfer not to hide the truth from the person informer, only has whirls, kills his unexpectedly.
Yuan Xiong customs duty yamen is not far from the Longshan health/guard, leaves the mountain after the maple leaf town writing from right to left ten li (0.5km), is called to fall Yantan, falls Yantan surrounding area dozens li (0.5km), here had a wharf, the front is the salt water lake. In the lake the islands are innumerable, goes nonstop to the sea distantly.
Yuan Xiong in this fell in Yantan to construct the customs duty division yamen, now attaches to his goon to be getting more and more, around the yamen constructed housing unceasingly, has formed an independent town to fall gradually. Except for a major road. All around is a person of high reed marsh, Yuan Xiongfang the city is not living, runs to come to here to be similar to supports oneself for the king, pours also free and unrestrained.
The armies one falls Yantan close. Then the deflection dispersion appears covering of fan shape to approach to the customs duty division yamen, the army archer and crossbowman before, the sword and spear soldier, this reed marsh range is enormous, looks at the dense circle from afar like the forest, about thousand soldiers scatter to be traceless immediately.
Around the customs duty division yamen is the reed marsh, but three landing places, the other aspect runs out of the reed marsh continually is a wharf. Yangling early dispatched 50 foreigner fast horses to raid the wharf, the goal, only then, destroyed the sail to break the scull, meaning that even if there is such Yuan Xiong escaped, waterway not available.
Yangling leads dozens own soldiers to walk on foot in the reed marsh, moist and azure spookily is similar to the steamed rice dumpling fragrance floats with the wind, making the person hear that the desire is drunk.
In the reed marsh occasionally has the river, river water is really shallow. When the armies pass through. Often is startled some wild ducks and egrets, throws non-stop flies the heaven. Also east west some hare foxes flees runs, looks is really interesting, but the soldiers know that the customs duty division has over one time from already the tax collector of military strength, in people of heart discrete, the institute only no one can attend to looking at one.
Yangling once has thought supposes the liquor to set at the feast, to solve Yuan Xiong effortlessly, since got up to clear river abstained intent, he really found out the airtight this person of thoughts, from has been in Mo Residence, if gave a banquet to give a banquet, character who not clear river must arrive.
If were realized by him beforehand, but he also has the privacy with Yuan Xiong, fails when success seemed within reach surely, even if causes difficulties for others successfully, so long as he sends for informing Bi Chun, but must walk another important personage, must simultaneously invite Yuan Xionghe Bi Chun, does not have the reasonable excuse.
If wields the armed forces to enter Yuan Xiongda camp, he listened to the decree not to revolt, if revolted, from the person had all been surrounded by the opposite party in the camp, the who wins and who lose may two say.
Therefore Yangling decides to direct the army to surround the customs duty division quietly, these tax collectors were usually responsible for collecting taxes and arresting to evade taxes peddler, in the hand has the blade to have the spear|gun, does not have the bow and arrow only, surrounds them in the surrounding, advantageous arrow in hand, although the tax supervises Si Renduo, the odds of success also has at least accounted for 70%.
The armies approach gradually, has been possible to see the roof of customs duty yamen by far, at this moment only listens to some people to shout to clear the way fierce: „What person? Halts to me, cannot approach again!”
Yang Ling listens is startled, immediately thinks: „Is it possible that leaked the news? How otherwise did the customs duty division set up the sentry post to come in this reed marsh?”
He waves, said in a low voice: „Accelerates to go forward, eliminates the sentry post”.
The troops of setting up in an array quicken pace to flush away forward, at this moment only listens to „Bang” a sound, the reeds to spread sand sweeps falls the sound, some people called out: „Oh, they have the cannon, I was injured”.
Liu Biaohai Yang Ling knocks down, called out loud: „Climbs down, climbs down entirely, they cannot see us, is crawling the vanguard, immediately must run out of the reed marsh, exits the bow and arrow to serve immediately”.
hears Qiang drops to the ground, the advance by creeping is he Yang Ling when the armed forces teaches his protection method, now uses by chance. Yangling startled and anger, so long as at this time the army runs out of 200 meters again forward, arrived at the customs duty division yamen, there surroundings chopped more than hundred meters fire belts, was the bow and arrow effective range.
So long as the army encircles there, Yuan Xiong can only resign oneself to extinction, but actually fails when success seemed within reach now, where he heard the news, has arranged the manpower alert unexpectedly beforehand? Day. If he early is prepared, that...... Sends the fine tax of wharf also to have the effect of surprise attack?
Such one thinks that Yangling perspires immediately anxiously, Liu Biao makes an effort to press him, he wants anxiously jumped out. Actually Yuan Xiong has not realized his whereabouts but actually, is the matter has fortunately, this holds the cannon person is being a Yuan Xiong under efficient land tax officer, leading several trusted subordinates to hit the wild duck to come to the reed marsh.
Unexpectedly he just went out not far. Finds wild duck and egret in all directions to fly in abundance, the under foot also has the hare and badger child direct impact on come, finds some people also flustered crosswise runs away, this tax officer is not a fool, immediately guessed correctly some people are quietly close, moreover looks at this stance also more than one person, cannot bear yell startled.
Some officers of not being able to calm down see the enemy to put the blunderbuss, immediately starts to shoot arrows blindly randomly. The arrow arrow departs the reed marsh, although has not hit a target that tax officer, has actually frightened half dead him.
Customs duty division cannon are not many, altogether over 50, he does not bring several subordinates to have three cannon. At that moment four sides opens fire, prevents the person advance in reedy lake. Yangling people are in the reed marsh anything unable to see, the especially majority of officers do not receive the god machine camp officers who Yang Ling has trained, hearing the blunderbuss sound to squat on the ground does not dare to lead the way.
Like this enemy and ourselves cannot meet. It is not able to implement the effective measure, Liu Biao does not dare to make Yangling brave hardships and dangers absolutely, Yangling is helpless, must make the officers shout propaganda, claimed that the imperial envoy receives orders to cause difficulties for others, only takes chief culprit Yuan Xiong, can not revolt.
That tax bureaucratic attitude person sharply sharply returns to the yamen, the matter reported that reported Yuan Xiong. Yuan Xiongdai the person flushed, hears the imperial envoy to cause difficulties for others, complexion big change. Some people offer in the reed marsh to project the bow and arrow, Yuan Xiong looked that is really the arrow arrow that in the armed forces uses, is frightens looks ashen. How many evil conduct he has made from already at heart clearly, sees Yangling use army to cover to kill quietly, must have the ironclad evidence, why from already resists with the imperial envoy and army?
Yuan Xiong complexion is pallid. Crossed long time to flutter to tell: „No...... Do not put the blunderbuss to offend somebody. Took the imperial envoy to come out, me must ask why the imperial envoy Sir did cause difficulties for others?” In his heart was also fantasizing can bribe Yangling. Delivers money beautiful woman, so long as the imperial envoy loosen lets go, that hasn't turned the hand for the cloud turning over the palm is the rain?
As soon as nearby trusted subordinate tax officer listened anxiously, east this person of hyphenated name, was Taihu Lake nearby Sangmu Official Zhuang Dongfang the three young masters of family|home, because committed adultery to be discovered by the elder brother with the sister-in-law, simply killed the elder brother to go to Taihu Lake to be the water robber, he has studied the scheme, the quick blending one group of water have robbed the leader.
Afterward because the officers suppressed anxiously, had no way out to hire oneself Yuan Xiong, this person became second nature and compels the tax savage to be efficient, Yuan Xiong trusted. This has the robber of license to work as flavorfully, regardless has done many wicked matter, the government authorities do not dare to catch him, saw including the messengers must shout an East respectfully few three.
Here not only money fishes compared with, when the water robs many, having no way out that but also some taxes many people were forced by him, but also gives him to insult the wife and daughter, now in his room also has the beauty young married woman, had been played over-familiar and nasty jokes on people by him long time, this day does not trade to the deity.
This what nonsense imperial envoy led the person to attack without prior notice, touched to visit secretly, in the water of taihu lake robbed this behavior to clarify is the dead appointment, how possibly to give back to match opportunity make a comeback? If admitted defeat now, Yuan Xiong was grasped, from went on the situation.
He exclaimed immediately: „Yuan Ye, is not applicable surely, that any imperial envoy led the person to touch to visit quietly, obviously won, this mountain ridge tied, if Yuan Ye admitted defeat, but must let the person to prey”.
Yuan Xiong do not look usually bluffs and blusters, looks that is imposing than anyone, but the scheme skill really missed compared with under many goons, hears word being at a loss tunnel: „But...... But he is an imperial envoy, now led the army to take me, what to do me can?”
The East three little grin fiendishly, said: „Yuan Ye, he said is an imperial envoy, who saw? We only see the pirate to loot the customs duty division yamen, so long as all kills off them, hey, Yuan Ye did not say that the national capital father-in-law is very unsatisfied to him? At the appointed time delivers some money to the fathers-in-law, can we for them besides the big evil, they also not guarantee us?”
„Kills the imperial envoy?” Yuan Xiong had a scare, what does that and kill the officer rebellion to distinguish? But Eastern three little said is also reasonable, he pondered over the long time carefully, in the look has lightened the ominous light gradually, good, Si Lijian fathers-in-law to regarding surnamed Yang, if the eye-sore, he were still shallow in the Imperial Court foundation, so long as killed him. Has Si Lijian and Dongchang supports, even if the emperor, for a deceased person and money won't be able to pass?
He hesitates evil ways: „Do you have the means? Does not know that the imperial envoy led many people to come, to resist to capture and kill the officer, but capital crime, if inadequate......”.
The East three little smile, said: „Yuan Ye felt relieved that this is they brings about own destruction, we without firing a single bullet. I can all feed in the lake to work as tortoise them”.
At this time these take the goon of cannon still in all directions carelessly to fire the spear|gun, the Eastern three few finger of reeds said: „Yuan Ye, we sets on fire to burn his mother place, this all around reeds want a point, teaches them to have not fresh, runs away nowhere runs away!”
Yuan Xiong looks at that dense clump of reeds one, the is still somewhat scruple, the East three little urgently said: „Yuan Ye. Quantity young non- gentleman, non-toxic non- husband, dry!”
Yuan Xiong stamped the feet, the squawk cries loudly without tears saying: „Pirate pretends to be the officers to take by force customs duty division, slightly sets on fire to the grandfather. Burns this group of brats”.
Yang Ling and the others lay in the reeds, irritates the nose the smog to float suddenly, catches the eye to look, the clear smoke curls. The front appears intermittently flip-flop the sound, Liu Biao lost one's voice to call out: „It is not good, Yuan Xiong set on fire! Sir, what to do?”
Yangling also had a scare, one hear of sounds of gunfire stopped, has stood hurriedly, this standing up haze irritates the nose, beyond the front more than hundred meters the raging flame has ignited one zhang (3.33 m) to come the high flame. At this time the ground wind to blows from the lake to here, the flame has swept away.
That dense reed ignites, can the fire intensity can it be that manpower resist? Yang Ling cannot think that approaches using the reed shield, will be detected unexpectedly, subsequently Yuan Xiong dares to set on fire to burn the person, he called out hurriedly: „Quick, removes quickly, immediately the round trip removes”.
These people enter the reeds already more than five li (0.5km). How possibly runs away on foot. The fire burns to be on fire has not arrived at the smoke already, that thick smoke sufficiently smokes the corona the person. When the fire of moxibustion person arrives......
The officers only run more than 300 meters, the wind has delivered the thick smoke , the person who chokes coughs day after day, the under foot runs immediately ineffectively. Many people desperately stopped the footsteps, stopped including Liu Biao who always the wisdom idea in many ways, fierce do not fear, on face a grief.
Yangling bends the back a cough, then clenches the teeth, looks at the sky desperately, he repents bitterly: This continuously boundless reeds, are best to shield, but now actually becomes the network of death was unable to evade, what to do? Wants this about thousand human lives because of already is the mistake buried in this? But I am not the deity, can change the wind direction?
Wind direction? Wind direction! Yang Ling decided has thought the moment, cried suddenly, happy allowed over the face to jump saying: „All people are listening, immediately chops to shear the reed, truncates to separate the firing line to me together, quick! Takes this creek as, immediately begins!”
Liu Biao desperate tunnel: „Sir, you do not know this fire fierce, even if chops the strip dozens zhang (3.33 m) separation fire to bring, only depends on that smoke also to be able us to suffocate while still alive, useless”.
Yang Ling laughs saying: „Smoke wants the wind to deliver, naturally lives calmly. You quickly begin, chop the strip fire protection to bring, the wider the better, this officer has the means to borrow the east wind!”
Liu Biao is doubtful, but sees a Yangling face calm look, by its infection, how many minute of confidence also regained, but he from has believed that how to make these a lot of officers believe?
Liu Biao gets a sudden inspiration, immediately pulls out blade to come to about to shout: „Everybody fells the reed immediately, starts out a fire protection to bring, the imperial envoy Sir has studied to Zhang Tianshi taking advantage of the law of wind, must be possible to save everybody life!”
Now if evil ways imperial decree told these officers to say them unable dead, some people are not necessarily willing to believe that but these foreigners and officers, as soon as listened to the imperial envoy Sir and Zhang Tianshi has studied the magic arts, can borrow the wind life-saving, again was immediately unsuspicious. Yeah, few days ago Haining fought the Japanese pirate, the imperial envoy Sir shoulder to shoulder stands with Zhang Tianshi on the view moist stage, the head is all-resourceful, if has taught the imperial envoy the Sir magic arts, should not be difficult taking advantage of wind the wind?
All people breakneck to chop the reed, everyone is controlling one zhang (3.33 m) surrounding area reed, front brandishes a sword to sweep away Liuhe, back the officers fall to the ground the reed to pile up complete Gener.
When starts out about 60 meters in width fire belt, the haze was getting more and more thick and choked more and more, the person in the nostril, in the throat is to all irritate the nose the cigarette ash, nobody can wield, to chop the reed again.
Yang Ling refers to a side-aisle that catches fire: „Also misses the last step, the reed entire pile of pasts under chopping, the pile to the reeds near, set on fire the ignition, this imperial envoy wanted”.
