Episode 10 Chapter 423

Their efforts to put out the fire, let alone pretense, even if they are sincere, are of no avail. The fire in the granary burned from the inside out, like an erupting volcano. It was difficult for people to even get close, let alone pour the fire down?

When a large number of Mo soldiers arrived, this was what they saw. Corpses and flesh and blood were all over the ground. Cheng Jin, Letian and others were shouting and splashing water to put out the fire. The scene was in chaos.

When the leader, General Mo, saw this situation, cold sweat immediately flowed down his face. He knew very well how fatal the blow would be to his own side once the granary was burned down, and he also knew very well how big his fault would be.

After staring blankly at the burning granary for a while, the officer Mo Jiang came back to his senses and shouted loudly: "Who can tell me what is going on?"

Hearing his shout, Cheng Jin, who was "putting out the fire", looked back, immediately put down the water basin in his hand, and ran over quickly. When he got close to Na Mo, he knelt down on one knee respectfully, stepped in and saluted, "Little man" See General Chen!”

This general Mo was none other than Chen Zhong, who was responsible for guarding the granary. He only saw Cheng Jin's person, but didn't know his name. He waved his hands angrily and said repeatedly: "Get up, what happened here, how did the granary catch fire?"

"Reporting to General Chen, we also rushed over after seeing a fire in the granary. When I waited, the corpses of brothers were already lying here, and the fire was also burning..."

Chen Zhong interrupted what he was saying and asked, "Didn't you see who made the move?"

"No!" Cheng Jin shook his head like a rattle and said, "General, we just arrived and we didn't see a single living person!" Now all the Mo soldiers who were knocked down by them had been killed by them. , leaving no one alive.

After listening to Cheng Jin's story, Chen Zhong was dumbfounded. The granary was attacked. Not only did hundreds of brothers die, but the granary was also set on fire. However, he didn't even see the shadow of the attacker. This is incredible. .

He could also foresee that when coach Xu Lengzhi heard the news, he would be furious, and his head... might not be saved. Thinking of this, he subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his neck.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Zhong looked around and saw many of his subordinates looking at him with big eyes and small eyes. His lungs almost exploded with anger. He raised his hands and pointed at everyone, roaring: "You guys What are you looking at me for? Go put out the fire!"

"Ah...ah! Yes, General!" Everyone seemed to be waking up from a dream, each looking for tools and water, and went to put out the fire.

There was no water source near the granary, so people had to fetch water from wells far away. What was terrible was that people were unprepared and wasted a lot of time just looking for tools to hold water.

When people came back with water, the fire in the granary was already bigger and fiercer. As long as it was closer than ten meters, it was difficult for people to breathe. The air seemed to be ignited. When it was sucked into the lungs, it made people feel like Burn up.

The fierce fire that jumped into the air turned the sky half red. Soon, not only the Mo army soldiers in the entire Bufeng City discovered the fire in the granary, but even the Fengyu coalition forces outside the city also saw the fire in the city. Many soldiers were holding clothes. , walked out of the camp and looked towards Bufeng to watch the excitement.

Now there is chaos in the city of Bufeng. People are shouting and horses are tearing them apart. The surrounding area of ​​the granary is crowded with Mo army soldiers who came to put out the fire after hearing the news. However, the effect of people's efforts is limited. They can only stop the fire, but they cannot suppress it. .

Xu Lengzhi, who lived in the county capital, was also awakened by the noise outside. He walked out of the bedroom wearing a cloak and barefoot, and asked the guards at the door: "What's going on? Why is it so messy outside? "

When the guards saw the coach coming out, they pointed in the direction of the granary and said, "General, there's a fire over there. We don't know what the situation is yet!"

"There's a fire!" The old man rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes and looked up in the direction of the guards' fingers.

The county capital is located in the center of Bufeng, and the granary is in the south of the city. The two are not close to each other, but from such a long distance, huge flames rising into the air can still be seen.

"That's..." Xu Lenzhi murmured. Suddenly, his heart was shaken, and he shivered, and said in surprise: "Then... is that the direction of the granary?"

The guards blinked and nodded: "Yes, General, that side is indeed the direction of the granary!"

"Oh, that's bad!" Xu Lengzhi screamed, turned around and ran into the room. It was too late to put on clothes, so he put on his shoes, grabbed his sword, and ran out of the room in a hurry.

"Quick! Call the brothers to gather together and follow me to rescue the granary! The granary must have been attacked by the enemy!" Xu Leng was indeed an experienced commander, and he judged the seriousness of the matter immediately.

The guards were all stunned. The enemy made a sneak attack? The enemy has not attacked the city, so how can he run into the city and attack his own granary? The guards did not dare to delay, so they all responded and went separately to convey Xu Lengzhi's general order.

Before Xu Lengzhi could lead his men to the granary, the messenger arrived first.

A sweaty Mo Bing was led by the guards. When he saw Xu Lengzhi, the Mo Bing knelt down on one knee and said urgently: "General, something bad happened. The granary was attacked. Three of our brothers were killed and injured. More than a hundred people and the granary were set on fire, and efforts are being made to save them!"

After these words were spoken, the faces of everyone present changed drastically. Xu Lengzhi was still calm, after all, he had just guessed that something had happened to the granary. He took a deep breath and pretended to be calm and asked, "Have the invading enemies been captured?"

"This..." Mo Bing, who reported the news, looked embarrassed and did not dare to answer immediately.

"Speak!" Xu Lengzhi shouted angrily.

"Reporting to the general, the enemies who attacked the granary have all escaped, and our soldiers have not been able to...failed to capture the enemy alive!" Mo Bing knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and stammered.

"They all ran away?" Xu Lengzhi was almost amused by his anger. He said in a serious tone: "Our soldiers are all over the city. Can the enemy run to the sky?"

"Yes, yes, yes! But... but we have not been able to find the enemy's whereabouts, and now we don't know which direction the enemy fled to. However, we have already launched a city-wide search..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Lengzhi raised his eyebrows and asked in disbelief: "Don't know which direction the enemy ran to? Are you saying that our army didn't even see the shadow of the enemy?"

"Yes... yes... General..."

Pa! This slap hit Mo Bing's face firmly, and the force was so great that Mo Bing fell to the ground directly. Xu Lengzhi is not a person with a bad temper, but the current situation has made him extremely angry and difficult to control his emotions.

The city is full of his own soldiers, the granary is heavily guarded, and there are uninterrupted patrols around, but even so, they were still ambushed by the enemy, and they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy. Even if they were a group of pigs, they couldn't be so stupid!

Xu Lengzhi pointed at Mo Bing, who had reported the news, with trembling fingers, and shouted, "Let Chen Zhong bring his head to see me! Let Jiang Song and Ding Youchun bring their heads to see me!" Chen Zhong was responsible for guarding the granary, and Jiang Song and Ding Youchun were responsible for the city's security. The granary was attacked by the enemy, and Chen Zhong was responsible, and Jiang Song and Ding Youchun could not escape the blame.

Mo Bing was so scared that he didn't dare to stay for half a second. He hurriedly agreed, then got up from the ground, turned around and ran out.

Xu Lengzhi put his hands on his waist, wandered back and forth for a few circles, waved his hand and said, "Let's go! Let's go to the granary!" At this time, he was so anxious that he couldn't wait for Chen Zhong, Jiang Song, and Ding Youchun to come to see him, and he wanted to go to the granary in person to check the current situation.

He led everyone to the gate of the county capital. He had just stepped out of the gate, but suddenly he seemed to remember something and immediately took his foot back. He stood up, his eyes rolling around, and his face changed.

"General, what's wrong?" The guards on both sides asked in confusion, not knowing why he didn't leave.

"Not good! Go to Tingfeng Pavilion!" The old man suddenly screamed, and then turned around and ran back. The guard hurriedly followed and asked, "Does the general think... the dark warehouse was also attacked?"

"This time the enemy is obviously well prepared. If the open warehouse is attacked, the dark warehouse is also in danger!" Xu Lengzhi said anxiously while running.

"This... is unlikely, general, the county capital has not been attacked by the enemy!" The guard shook his head again and again.

Xu Lengzhi didn't care about that. The old man relied on his good spiritual martial arts skills to throw away two legs, and his speed was not slow.

He rushed into Tingfeng Pavilion with a group of guards and guards. After turning to the rockery, he saw that the guards were still guarding outside the cave entrance. He breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that he was really worrying too much. The enemy only attacked the open warehouse and did not dare to rush into the county capital to attack the dark warehouse. As long as the dark warehouse is still there, even if the grain in the open warehouse is burned clean, his army can hold on to Pufeng for three months!

Seeing Xu Lengzhi coming with many guards and guards, the guards stepped in and saluted, saying: "Subordinates greet the general!"

"What's the situation here? Have you found any enemies?" Xu Lengzhi looked around and asked expressionlessly.

"Reporting to the general, everything is calm and there is nothing unusual." The guards answered carefully.

"That's good!" Xu Lengzhi turned around and said, "Leave a large team of people here to guard this place. If anything unexpected happens, I will take your heads!"

"Yes! General!"

Xu Lengzhi sent more people to protect the dark warehouse. Just as he was about to leave, a guard suddenly said, "General, although we didn't find the enemy, there is something very strange!"

"Huh?" Xu Lengzhi stopped and looked back at the guard who spoke in confusion.

"That's it..." The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that the ground is unusually hot tonight..."

Xu Lengzhi raised his eyebrows suspiciously, then looked down at his feet, his heart trembled suddenly, and he immediately squatted down and pressed his palms on the ground.

That's right, the ground didn't feel cold at all, but was a little warm. It was late at night, not during the day when the sun was shining brightly. This was too abnormal. .
