Chapter 197 Artificial Lightning
In the mountain temple, Jin Dajian and a few helpers were busy in the house.
Because of the rain, we can’t do the work outside, but we can do the work inside the house first.
Xu Boan had no time to pay attention to them, and immediately clicked on the bubbles that appeared in front of him.
The next moment, Xu Boan's sight was the scene in Shanyang City.
Still using the statue of the City God in the open air as the starting point, Xu Boan suddenly raised his angle of view and had a bird's eye view of the entire county.
Soon, Xu Boan's attention was focused on the city wall.
There, several familiar figures were arguing about something.
As Xu Boan focused his attention, the voices of several people gradually became clearer.
"We must take the initiative and find opportunities to find ways to save Mr. Wang." Ma Han said anxiously.
Yan Shouyi on the side also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mr. Guo, just let us out!"
That Mr. Guo was not wearing armor, but he was also wearing a military attache's robes, and his expression was very... With a hint of impatience, he said: "I didn't say I won't save him, but it's not the time yet."
This man's robe was a little ill-fitting and a little loose on his body, which made him look a little funny.
Hearing this, Ma Han hurriedly asked: "When is the time? If this continues, I'm afraid..."
Master Guo interrupted Ma Han before he could finish. He scolded: "You bastard, it's not your turn to question me. Who do you think you are!"
Ma Han was also in a good mood. When Master Guo shouted like this, he immediately became angry. Just as he was about to argue, he saw Yan Shouyi pulling him aside, and then said to Mr. Guo in a flattering manner: "Mr. Guo, don't be as knowledgeable as him. He is just worried about Mr. Wang."
"Humph, so what if I'm worried about you? I am also the Qian General Manager of Dajing Military Preparation Army. When did these unknown cats and dogs dare to question me?" Mr. Guo's tone was very arrogant, and his eyes were even more disdainful. Mahan looked down upon him.
Obviously, the titles of "cat and dog" were meant for him.
Yan Shou showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. After all, according to Mr. Guo, he most likely underestimated himself.
But now I can be regarded as the top leader of the local people in Shanyang City. What I should say can only be said by myself.
Yan Shou cupped his hands, squeezed out a smile and said, "Master Guo, calm down. In your opinion, when is the best time for us to rescue Master Chao Chao?"
Master Guo snorted coldly and said, "Wait a minute. Let's go, we should wait and see what happens."
Yan Shou looked embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
After all, the first level of officialdom is the most powerful one. Mr. Guo is one of the three thousand officers of Qingmu Banner in Qingmu Mansion, that is, the deputy Qianzong.
Strictly speaking, he was the immediate superior of Shanyang Order who strictly guarded the Eight Classics.
Even if Yan Shouyi was dissatisfied, how could he dare to argue with Mr. Guo under the rules and system where obeying orders is a bounden duty?
On the other hand, Ma Han couldn't bear it anymore and immediately shouted: "Just wait and see what happens. I dare to ask a question for the hundreds of brothers who stayed in Shanyang City. Dare you ask? Mr. Guo, when should we wait? "
Ma Han's voice was loud and attracted the attention of the soldiers guarding the side. Immediately, there were many soldiers. His eyes were fixed on Mr. Guo, his eyes full of expectation.
Obviously, these people are very concerned about the life and death of the dynasty.
Strictly speaking, these people are not serious soldiers. Except for a small number of Shanyang orders and a part of the Qingmu Banner team of Qingmu Mansion brought by Master Guo, most of them are soldiers from the previous dynasty in the mountains. The people recruited from Yangcheng.
To this day, in addition to free meals, these people have not even received their first month’s military pay!
And if the dynasty had not taken the initiative to take responsibility and lead the people to resist after the leaders such as the county magistrate and the county magistrate in front of Shanyang City escaped, these people and their families would have definitely escaped death.
Therefore, these people attach great importance to the life and death of the dynasty.
Instead of promoting loyalty to Emperor Dajing here, it is better to say that loyalty to the dynasty is real.
Seeing the looks in everyone's eyes, Mr. Guo felt panicked.
In the current tense situation, if you provoke public anger, you will be in big trouble.
If nothing else, I would say that if I arouse the resentment of these soldiers and refuse to listen to the command and carry out effective resistance, I am afraid that my position as Deputy Chief Qian will be difficult to protect.
After all, as one of the several thousand generals of Qingmu Mansion, he had issued a military order when he came.
Considering these problems, Mr. Guo glared at Mahan dissatisfied, but in the end he did not get angry with Mahan again, but he said in a cold voice with a bad attitude: "I am not a fortune teller, how can I tell it? When is the right time to come out? In short, we have to wait for the right opportunity."
Ma Han clenched his fists and asked: "What if we don't wait for the right opportunity? We don't care about the life or death of Mr. Dynasty. ? The fact that Shanyang City was able to be defended before was all due to Lord Dynasty.”
Mr. Guo gritted his teeth and said: "Huh, credit is credit, no one denies his credit, but the current situation is special. In order to save him, is it possible that hundreds of my athletes have to go out and die?"
While speaking, Mr. Guo glanced around a few times with the corner of his eye.
Originally, he said this to win over the people, but he never expected that it would not have much effect after he said it.
Most of the soldiers remained calm-faced, obviously waiting to continue talking about rescuing the dynasty.
Ma Han said word by word: "Of course I don't dare to trouble the brothers. I only ask for Master Guo's consent. I am willing to take the lead and, together with the brothers who are willing to go to rescue Master Dynasty, touch down the enemy. Rescue Mr. Dynasty."
Before Mr. Guo could say anything, he heard Li Qingshi shouting from not far away: "Count me in!"
Li Qingshi was not far away from a few people. He was kneeling down beside an incense burner placed there.
Hearing Mahan’s voice here saying that he wanted to save the dynasty, he immediately raised his hand to sign up.
Master Guo glanced at Li Qingshi coldly. He didn't even bother to say anything to Li Qingshi. Instead, he looked at Ma Han with disdain and said, "Huh, just for you? Do you know that those people opposite are We are the most elite team in Qingmu Banner. If you want to die, don't drag others with you."
Ma Han said with a stern face: "Master Guo! I don't care whether the opponent is an elite or a idiot. , in short, I have made up my mind. I just want peace of mind, and I ask Master Guo to be kind and let me and you brothers out."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard several soldiers standing guard on the side of the city wall shouting in different words.
“They are here again.”
“Master Wang is also here.”
“These people are here again to call for formation.”
Ma Hanji The man immediately took two steps quickly and looked under the city wall.
Xu Boan also moved his attention.
Outside the city gate, the soldiers seemed to be very impatient.
For the past few days, I and others have besieged Shanyang City here. Not only did they fail to capture Shanyang City, they actually let these people wait for reinforcements.
At present, the other brothers who are cooperating in the uprising are getting better, but my team has not even taken down a small county town.
"Everyone above, please listen to me. If you don't surrender and let him out of the city gate, I will kill Mr. Wang Dynasty under my horse with one strike."
At this moment, at the forefront of the enemy formation, Dynasty had his hands tied, his head and hands locked in a shackle, looking extremely embarrassed.
The image of a middle-aged man who was originally handsome and elegant has now become a slovenly image with messy and gray hair.
The originally upright body also involuntarily hunched down.
It seems that the dynasty has really suffered a lot these days. On the city tower, the person with the highest official position now is Mr. Guo.
The name of Mr. Guo is Guo Jinglong, and he currently serves as the deputy general manager of Qingmu Banner in Qingmu Mansion.
His father is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Qingyun Army of Qingyun Road, and he is a famous big shot in the entire Qingyun Road.
After Guo Jinglong failed in many examinations and failed to obtain any honors, he became a monk halfway and joined the army.
With this kind of halfway monk behavior, you can get the position of Vice President in just ten years. Anyone with a discerning eye will know what is going on.
Earlier Yan Shouyi led Li Qingshi, Ma Han and others to guard Shanyang City. He originally thought that he would be relieved when reinforcements came.
Who would have known that the person who came to support him was actually the famous scholar Qian Zong Guo Jinglong!
Originally, everyone thought that this was a must-win situation with front and rear attacks. Who knew that a strange guy like Guo Jinglong, after arriving outside the camp of the besieging rebels under the city, actually politely made a move to surrender and exempt him from guilt? The book was read out in front of the battle in an attempt to influence those people without any bloodshed.
When Yan Shouyi in the city later learned about Guo Jinglong’s tricks, he was in disbelief and thought he had heard wrong.
Since the other party has evil intentions and evil intentions, and has already begun to besiege the city, who will believe the lies of immunity?
And once this fighter plane is delayed, it will not be so easy to wait for the right opportunity.
Yan Shou and others watched helplessly on the city wall as the enemy fought with the team brought by Guo Jinglong.
The ending turned out to be that Guo Jinglong and others were exhausted and unable to resist.
Yan Shouyi had no choice but to watch Guo Jinglong die here. He immediately led his troops out of the city and forced a way out of the enemy's siege. In other words, he was able to kill Guo Jinglong and the rest. The remaining troops were brought back to Shanyang City.
Thanks to the awakening nectar and jade dew in the Qiankun Glazed Cover left behind by Grandpa Mountain God, the brothers were able to kill again with a roar.
Just like this, not only did they lose the opportunity to attack from the inside and outside, but even the reinforcements were lost in half outside, and all the food and grass they brought were robbed by others.
If Yan Shouyi hadn't known that Guo Jinglong was a righteous man, he might have thought that Guo Jinglong was a traitor to these enemies.
This is not here to support Shanyang City. It is obviously here to deliver supplies to the enemies besieging the city, and they also want to make some military exploits by the way!
Unfortunately, this grandson’s military exploits have not been mentioned. If Yan Shui and others had not saved him desperately, he would probably have to celebrate his death anniversary on this day next year.
Although it was very humiliating to abandon one’s helmet and armor, and had to borrow other people’s clothes to wear when he came back, he managed to save his own life!
Logically speaking, Guo Jinglong should burst into tears of gratitude for such a great kindness and repay him with a spring of water throughout his life.
But for such a kindness, this guy doesn’t even know how to be grateful!
On the contrary, because of this battle, I was so frightened that I hunkered down in the city and refused to attack to quell the chaos. I also refused to let Yan Shou and the others go out, for fear of losing some more people and the defenders of the city. There were fewer people, and he would not have the chance to wait for the second batch of reinforcements.
Of course, Yan Shou also knew that since Guo Jinglong was trapped here, reinforcements would most likely come.
After all, my father is the leader of the Qingyun Army, so he wouldn’t just watch his descendants trapped here struggling to survive.
It’s just that he can wait, but the dynasty can’t wait.
It was also during this attack that they got news from the captured enemy prisoners, and Yan Shou first class knew that the dynasty had not been sent to Qingmu Mansion to be imprisoned by these people.
Instead, he was imprisoned directly in the camp, with coercion and inducement in the hope that he would rebel.
What they didn't expect was that the dynasty was a tough guy. He never agreed to the other party's conditions and refused to rebel against the Jing Dynasty.
No, seeing that some city defenders were added to Shanyang City, the enemies besieging the city lost their patience and simply launched the Dynasty to threaten the city defenders.
"People above, listen and watch, this is your Lord Wang. If you don't want his other leg to be useless, just open the city gate for me!"
"I'll say it again, if you don't want to let..."
Li Qingshi looked at the city with wide eyes, and the dynasty limped along under the scolding of the soldiers.
That leg was from the scolding battle yesterday. No one on the wall was willing to respond, and the other party abruptly broke one of Wang Chao's legs.
"Master Guo, you..."
As soon as Yan Shou opened his mouth, he was rudely interrupted by Guo Jinglong.
"Shut up! Who dares to mess around without my order? Don't blame me for being ruthless. Military law will deal with it."
Guo Jinglong softened his tone and said: "Can't you see that the other party is They did this deliberately to bring chaos to us, and we must not dare to mess up our position."
"But are we going to let them torture Mr. Dynasty like this?" Mahan couldn't help but gritted his teeth and asked.
A trace of disdain flashed at the corner of Guo Jinglong's mouth, and he said: "What should we do? Do you really think you can save him from those people casually?"
"But we can't do everything. Don't you want to do it? Mr. Wang will have a narrow escape if this continues!" Li Qingshi couldn't help but say.
During the few days here, he established a deep friendship with the dynasty.
Guo Jinglong was still slowly disdainful and said: "It's just a county magistrate, and it's just a temporary position. Could it be that you want to trade the danger of my entire city's soldiers and civilians for an opportunity with slim prospects of making money? ?"
"What do you mean..." Yan Shouyi asked tremblingly.
Guo Jinglong looked troubled and said softly: "I don't mean anything, but if he dies, I, Guo Jinglong, will definitely write to the Qingyun Army in person to express my merits and ask for rewards for him. I will never let the brothers My heart is cold.”
“What’s the use of this bullshit merit and reward when everyone is gone?” Ma Han couldn’t help shouting.
"You bastard, you are just disrespectful to me, but you actually dare to openly slander our military merit system in Dajing! If today was not the right time to employ people, I would definitely have you dealt with by military law!" Guo Jinglong shouted angrily.
Ma Han's anger finally reached its peak, and he took a big step forward. Before Guo Jinglong could react, he grabbed Guo Jinglong's collar with one hand, and quickly moved his other hand to unsheath a dagger. He gestured on Guo Jinglong's neck.
"Military disposition, okay, believe it or not, I will deal with you first!"
This guy is really well-maintained, other martial artists have dark bronze skin, Guo Jinglong This guy's neck is fairer and tenderer than that of the rich girl who lives in a boudoir.
When Yan Shouyi saw this, he hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Ma Han, don't mess around."
Ma Han looked at Yan Shouyi with a determined expression and said: "General Manager Yan, As long as I kill this bitch, you have the final say here. You will definitely lead people to save Mr. Wang, right?"
How could Yan Shouyi dare to answer, he just tried to persuade: "No way. Ah, you must never realize it!”
When Guo Jinglong heard Ma Han’s decisive words, he was even more frightened, and immediately said in a hopeless tone: “Brother, you have something to say.”
"Humph, I have nothing to say to you." Mahan said sharply.
Guo Jinglong hurriedly said to please: "I know what you mean, brother, you just want to go out to save the dynasty. I agree, go right away, right away! You let go of the knife first, don't My hands are shaking.”
Ma Han was unmoved at all: "Humph, your words are like bullshit. Do you think I will believe you."
Guo Jinglong had no choice but to raise his hand with a row of fingers and said with confidence: "I swear , I swear it’s okay! If I tell a lie, there will be five thunders from the sky!”
As soon as Guo Jinglong finished speaking, he saw a flash of light in the sky, which was extremely dazzling.
Of course this is not such a coincidence.
This thunder and lightning came from Xu Boan's hand.
After releasing a bolt of lightning, Xu Boan shook the lighter he had just removed from the lighter in his hand, pointed it at a hilltop in the distance, and pressed out a second artificial lightning bolt.
