The remnant sun is like blood.

The dog yijing was tired, and it limped around the blood-stained dirt slope, and then went to the small courtyard below the dirt slope where yijing collapsed and lay down. The owner lay down beside it, and when it turned its head, it looked at the long wooden pole stuck in its master's body, arched its nose forward, and then shrank back in a "woo".

Dogs, yards, corpses, arrows, blood, the noise came from not far away.

It's an old dog, I'm afraid yijing doesn't have much age to live, it has been living with the same old owner in a small yard near the big wall, occasionally out to walk around, tired and slowly huilai, now its favorite thing is to lie on the bluestone slab under the tree by the threshold to bask in the sun, squint its eyes in the sun and cicadas chirping, when the old owner sits next to it mō on the hard tendons on its neck and chatters, it will occasionally make a comfortable "woo" sound.

Until the other day, it saw that the birds had flown away, and then the earth moved, and the great wall was shattered. The rest of the world was full of people beyond its comprehension, and the place where the wall had collapsed was the screams of those people for days. On that day, dense crowds of people swarmed through the breach, and countless people poured out from everywhere, and the sea of people collided together, and the old master stood at the breach in the courtyard to see the faint movement there, and when he was babbling something he did not understand, he fell down without warning.

It saw the wooden pole erected by the old master, and smelled the ominous smell of blood, which gushed out. It ran over quickly, sniffing and dragging at the old master, trying to make the old master move again, but the old man only opened his eyes and glanced at it slightly, and then the gaze froze forever.

The blood was still flowing, and it ran out into the street, crawling up the dirt slope behind and screaming. Some blood-stained people rushed over, and it screamed and rushed over to bite, but it was also old, and was interrupted by the hilt of the knife, whimpering to the side. Some rushed into the courtyard and later out of the courtyard. After a long time, a large number of people were driven out of the mouth again, and the noise was boiling over there, only the small courtyard here was cold, and only the old dog was walking slowly around here.

Then there was a break in the wall, and many people fell there. It hadn't eaten for a few days, and occasionally looked out on the mound, dragging the lame tuǐ, and when it could, it made a few calls, and when it was tired, it went back to the yard and looked at the flies that had grown on the old master's corpse.

The weather was hot, the bloody remnant sun finally drowned between the rolling clouds and the mountains, a red maple tree outside the courtyard wrinkled half of its leaves, in the evening heat wave and stench, when it was about to get dark, the old dog climbed the dirt slope again, and the figure and the earth slope melted into a lonely silhouette in the orange face.

At one point, the dog stood up straight on the dirt slope and looked into the distance. Countless arrows and shadows flew into the sky like locusts.

One of the arrows brushed through the old dog's body, and the corpse rolled down, and a few scattered arrows fell on the dirt slope with a puff, and then, outside the city, a person shouted: "Holy Father" and someone shouted: "It's the equality of the law!" There is no superiority! The Holy Father has arrived" "Holy Father! Countless voices converged and rumbled towards this side!

………，………，………，………，……………

It was another dreary evening, and in the middle of the day, the chaos in and around Hangzhou almost became a part of the daily routine. In Taiping Alley, Ning Yi sat on the roof of the uncollapsed wooden building, looking at the sunset and the city not far away. The water vein near Taiping Lane, a small tributary of the Grand Canal, has become muddy due to the blockage of the upper reaches and the dangers of these days.

The chaos of many days since the earthquake, internal and external troubles, and poor circulation in the city, at this time there is a faint smell of decay.

When a few people came from outside Taiping Lane on horseback, Ning Yi went down from the upper floor. Among the few people who came over, the leader was named Qian Haiping, a nephew of Qian Xiwen, but at this time he was nearly forty years old, he was a civil servant in Hangzhou Mansion, and he had real power.

He has been to Taiping Lane several times in the past two days, and the people who guard the entrance of the alley basically know him and let him in. As soon as he saw Ning Yi, the middle-aged man who seemed to be dusty didn't have much politeness, arched his hand, and took out a note from his body: "Ning Xian's nephew doesn't need to be polite, this morning, the big man's house in Xi'an was attacked by bandits, caught fire, and killed more than ten people." We got this news later..............." He lowered his voice, "Now Yijing can preliminarily determine the mastermind of the other party......" "But Uncle Qian Shishu is not sure yet." Ning Yi read the note, frowned slightly, and then stretched out his hand to invite the other party into the house. Su Tan'er bowed under the eaves not far away and did not come over. A few days ago, Ning Yi took out his desperate strength for the first time and entangled the liliang that several nearby blocks could persuade and use, which was an activity for himself. When he saw Qian Xiwen again, he casually said some ideas, and the other party had obviously been active in Hangzhou for a while, and at this time he was planning and planning... is obviously another master, and he wants to carpet out people while defending against offensives outside the city, which is not a reliable idea.

But since the other party has come to the city and has an understanding, he will definitely confirm some places that are really suitable to start. Strategizing and attacking the heart, what Shijie is most afraid of is the kind of madman who comes without warning, for example, when Ning Yi was kidnapped by Gu Yanzhen, it was simple and unprovoked before. But if the other party also has a lot of information, the range of choices that can be made is often much smaller, and when you can't find it out at once, you can ask you to enter the urn.

Where can we make the current city of Hangzhou more chaotic, we might as well show weakness to the enemy.

For this matter, what Ning Yi can know about Lu Dao is the port in the south, and as for more detailed things, he still has to let people who are familiar with Hangzhou do it. Let them destroy, or even lead them to destroy, prepare enough aftermath measures first, and grasp the other party's rules of conduct in the process. Ning Yi said that these examples gave a few simple plans, deliberately making the south of the city wharf chaos is also one of them, he said that Yijing was the third day of the war, and in the afternoon of the same day, the wharf in the south of the city was really provoked by people, an official wanted to run away, the bandits hiding in the crowd took the opportunity to make trouble, and the secret agent hiding in the crowd also grabbed the other party's tail for the first time.

This clue was broken after an hour, but the aftermath was properly dealt with, and it did not cause a major mess after all. Then Qian Haiping also looked for Ning Yi under Qian Xiwen's advice, and put some ideas,

The information was handed over to Ning Yi's side for a while. Ning Yi is only experienced in the overall situation at the moment, but he is extremely cautious about the plans that need to be combined with local folk customs and understanding..., and he does not talk nonsense, and many times, he will discuss it with Su Tanji. Qian Haiping and his subordinates experienced it a few times, and they couldn't help but admire the couple.

After reading the news on the note, Ning Yi also summoned his wife over to take a look. Su Tan'er just nodded silently, and returned Qian Haiping after reading it. In the past few days, Qian Haiping's subordinates have laid a large net in the city, and now Yijing has shrunk to a certain extent, and can determine the information of several masterminds.

“… Almost all of these people were famous green forest masters in the past, and Shi Bao was extremely powerful with a big knife in one hand. At present, Yijing can be sure that in the fire in the north of the city, he was the one who killed Vice General Yuan with a single sword. Two days earlier, I saw the tall and thin man in the city, with long hair and a shawl and a big gun, it should be Wang Yin, this person is ruthless, strong in martial arts, and not under Shi Bao. Moreover, Wang Yin's strategy is outstanding, and we now suspect that he may be the leader in the city at this time. But it is also possible for another person, the seven Buddhas under Fang La's hands, known as the Buddha Shuai, are the people of Fang La's position in the chaotic army, and some people even say that he is knowledgeable, can understand the past and the present, and is a figure like Zhuge Liang. It's a pity that he hasn't been able to determine whether he is in the city or not, otherwise if he can find out and catch it all, he will wait until Fang La's arm is broken. ”

Qian Haiping said so, entered the room and sat down, and when Su Tan'er personally served the tea, he also nodded in thanks: "It's that Liu Dabiao, which makes people feel a little strange." This person was originally quite famous in the southwest green forest, and he was known as the hegemonic sword. But I have a piece of news here, saying that this Liu Dabiaozi died a few years ago, which says that Liu Dabiaozi is rough and heroic, with a full face and beard, but has a strange temper, and is often proud of his xiōng hairy and dignified, and wears a short dress in winter and summer. Although Li Hengxian's nephew saw each other that day, the man in his forties did not have a beard. And with his identity, he joined the rebel army, and he was mainly a girl, could this girl be Fang La's daughter? If this can be done, it will also be a great achievement to catch and kill. ”

At this time, there was a lot of information on the table in the room, Ning Yi basically read it many times, and at this time he added the note to it: "I'm afraid it will take a day or two, the three caves of the cunning rabbit, at this time the city is too chaotic, and their gathering point can only be determined one, and if they act rashly, I am afraid that most of them will return in vain." ”

"Well, these people are all masters, and there is no perfect plan at this time, I am afraid that they will be killed by them." Qian Haiping also nodded, then remembered something, and laughed, "Oh, by the way, I heard that Liheng and the people of the Lou family have some festivals, and I am free today, so I asked someone to go over and knock on it, Ha Luha, smashed the door of his house, and breathed a sigh of relief for the virtuous nephew." Ning Yi frowned, and looked at Qian Haiping, who was smiling happily: "A little thing, there is not much grievance, at this time, I am about to work together with the outside world, Uncle Shi is doing this, I am afraid it will be ......"

"Hey, it's okay." Qian Haiping waved his hand, "Their Lou family said that it was a bit powerful, but in the eyes of my Qian family, it was just a chicken and a dog." Liheng was humiliated, my uncle didn't know the Tao before, but now he knows the Tao, it's my Feng, if he has a grudge, that's okay, uncle took the opportunity to help you wipe him! I know that Liheng is benevolent, hehe, but there is no need to worry about this matter. The matter of Liheng at the moment is the matter of my Qian family, there is nothing else to do today, I will leave, and Xiwang will be able to hear the good news tomorrow.

He got up with a smile and walked out of the room accompanied by Ning Yi, at this time, the remnant sun was like blood, and he could only hear the shouts near the Western City, which were boiling in the distant sky.

"The text is coming" Qian Haiping shook his head, sighed, and left boredly.

Ning Yi looked at that day and frowned.

………，………，………，……………

"The Holy Father has arrived, it seems that in the next day or two, the city will be broken!"

Someone was talking, in the sunset, this was a relatively complete courtyard, Shi Bao rushed in, laughing loudly.

Wang Yin, with long hair, was sitting by the well scrubbing the steel gun, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking before.

At this time, I looked to the west and listened carefully to the sound of the wind, but then I didn't seem happy: "I originally thought that these two days should be broken, but I didn't expect it to be delayed to today." In the past few days, I have always felt a little strange in my actions in the city. ”

"Strange? What's wrong? Shi Bao was stunned, then sat down next to Wang Yin and patted him on the shoulder, "Hey, the stone chisel, you are always like this, think too much." We've been so happy these days, and there's chaos in the city, I think it's reliable. Buddha Shuai said before that you scholars just think too much, so the scholars rebelled, and they couldn't do it for ten years. Oh, I didn't mean it,........."

Wang Yin smiled, the steel gun swung out, in a straight line, the water droplets on the gun all exploded, and even a bang sounded in the air: "Is it a mess?" I don't think it's enough to mess around, and although it's okay every time, I don't think it's always clear what happens after that. It's like hitting a cotton ball, the strength is out of the way, and there is always someone who can roughly fill the gap, which makes me feel that there are also people watching us in secret......"

"No, the one who chisels the stone, are you sure?"

"Oh, maybe I'm thinking too much, I originally wanted to break the city inside and outside before the Holy Father arrived, but since the Holy Father has arrived, it will be easier to break the city, and then right, what about Xu Fang, Qi Zheng, and Liu Dabiao?"

"Come here, the news has arrived."

While he was talking, someone opened the door and hurriedly came over, this person's name was Xu Fang, and he was also quite familiar with Shibao Wang Yin, and after entering the courtyard, he was solemn: "I'm leaving." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Liu Dabiao was recognized, followed, and caught a spy from the government, and the matter is a bit serious."

Shi Bao and Wang Yin stood up at the same time, then grabbed their weapons and walked towards the door while disguising. The group walked out of the courtyard, through the ruins, the streets, and the pedestrians, and after turning two streets, the streets began to be lit one after another, and some people who had no families lived and cooked on the roadside, and children ran around. They entered another courtyard, after the sun set, the courtyard was a little dark, on one side of the promenade under the eaves, a girl wearing a blue sè huā skirt and a black gauze hat was holding her knees, sitting quietly in the dark shadow there, on the other side the big man with a long wooden box was washing his hands by the well, blood soaked into the grass, and a room in front of it was lit with an oil lamp like a bean, and there was blood on the floor of the room.

Wang Yin first walked into the room, and saw a broken corpse of Yijing, and when he turned around, the middle-aged man who had washed his hands also walked over, slapped his palms, and whispered something.

Wang Yin gradually frowned, and after a long time, he laughed again, and their voices could be faintly heard in the night wind.

"Ning Liheng ......"

"Money-...... Ha ......"

"There are such people in Hangzhou......,........."

"I really want to meet him......"

After a moment, Shi Bao threw up the treasure knife in his hand and caught it again.

"Hey, how's it going tonight?"!.
