Chapter 749: Fire Rises (Knife Edge Reward Plus Change)
"Zoom in, zoom in again." Guo Jun pressed the knife and walked back and forth on the flying house, shouting and scolding. "You waste, you can't even set a fire, and you don't usually practice much. Put more grass, the fire is small, and the general can't see it. ”
Shen You sat in a wheelchair, watching Guo Jun complain, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. I was happy to see it just now, but I accidentally pulled the wound, and it hurt when I moved. The wound was hot, as if blood was coming out, and he quietly pressed it with his hand.
Guo Jun's eyes were sharp, and he saw it clearly, and hurriedly said: "Sir, you sit still, just a few thieves, you can't make any waves." I've arranged it all, and I can't run away. ”
Shen You smiled and nodded. He didn't doubt this, and he also had the credit for arranging the ambush, he just didn't expect that the soldiers of the guard battalion were so well-trained and so efficient, and those bandits who pretended to be ordinary people to set fire were put down as soon as they approached the boat, and the people who were so neat that the people on the shore who admired the lights did not notice anything abnormal, until the fire on the boat broke out, the people knew that something was wrong, and exclaimed loudly.
No one knew that there was nothing on those ships, only a boatload of dry wood and dry grass. The goods on the ship were transferred, most of them were taken to the Xu family by Sun Ce, and the rest were scattered to other ships, those ships were kept to burn, and sufficient fuel was prepared, in order to make the fire burn a little stronger, so that Sun Ce in the distance could see it, and poured some oil on it.
The thieves who got on the boat were caught, the fire was burned, and the rest depended on how Sun Ce performed.
Wang Zhen and Xu Chun also wanted to frame Sun Ce, but they didn't know where they got their confidence. With Sun Ce's identity, even Xu Gong may not be qualified to be an opponent, these two stupid things actually hit the door headlong, and they really don't know whether they are alive or dead. They definitely didn't know that long before Sun Ce saw Wang Zhen, this bureau had already been rolled out, the fine work led by Jiao Zhongqing was scattered inside and outside Yangxian City, and every move of the Xu family and Wang Zhen was under Sun Ce's control, Xu Min came back from the mountains, and before he arrived home, Sun Ce knew.
It's a shame that he didn't go to the Taishou Mansion to serve in the first place, otherwise he would have to work hard for Xu Gong with Wang Zhen, and it would never be a pleasure to be an opponent with Guo Jia.
It is very important to choose what kind of people to follow. Shen You exhaled softly, with extraordinary pleasure. This is the right first step, what are you worried about? Bruises!
Shen You coughed: "Captain Guo, it's time to send someone to deliver a letter to the general, it's been a long time, it's not like it." ”
Guo Jun responded. "Understood, I'll arrange it now."
——
"Maybe it's a light and a drain." Xu Chun said seriously: "The weather is dry and dry, the small people are not careful, and it is common to burn wildfires. But it doesn't matter, there is a lot of water in Yangxian, and the county has also arranged manpower to be on guard, so it is not difficult to extinguish the fire. ”
"Really?" Sun Ce was suspicious, stretched his neck, stood on tiptoe, and looked at it for a while, fidgeting. "Gong Xu, no, how can it be like the direction of my big camp, it can't be my baggage camp that caught fire, right?"
Xu Chun laughed. "The general is too good at joking, who doesn't know that you are strict in governing the army, how can such an accident occur, unless it is the bandits in Tongguan Mountain who pour their nests and break into the general's camp to set fire, it is absolutely impossible."
"No, no, no, it's better to be careful, I still have a lot of cargo on board."
Sun Ce's face changed. Xu Chun saw it in his eyes, and was even happier, while touting Sun Ce's ability to govern the army, asserting that there would be no problem, it was Sun Ce who saw it wrong, and on the other hand, he quietly led the topic to the bandits in Tongguan Mountain. Sun Ce was told that he had no idea, and he looked like he wanted to go downstairs but was embarrassed to admit that he had no way to govern the army, so he hesitated, and Xu Chun was happy in his heart.
Right here, a soldier hurriedly came up, walked quickly in front of Sun Ce, and whispered a few words in Sun Ce's ear. Sun Ce's face sank at that time, and his gaze was as sharp as a blade. Xu Chun chuckled in his heart, and suddenly felt an ominous feeling. He hurriedly surrendered his hand.
"General, what's wrong?"
Sun Ce rolled his eyes, didn't speak to Xu Chun, but made a gesture to Guo Wu. Guo Wu understood, walked around the corner, and clapped his palms. The righteous servants in the alleys on both sides heard the sound and shouted in unison, and some of them poured into the main courtyard, and the thousands of troops broke out of the sheath, the cold light flashed, and the originally lively and peaceful Xu family was suddenly full of murderous atmosphere, and the talented and beautiful people who were guessing the riddle were stunned, not knowing what was happening. Yang Xiu and the others knew it in their hearts, quickly withdrew from the crowd, and took their places.
When Xu Chun saw this, his heart beat like a drum. While wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he forced a smile and said, "General, what do you mean by this?" ”
Sun Ce crooked his mouth, glanced at Xu Chun coldly, turned around and walked to the railing, and clapped his hands. When everyone's eyes were focused on him, he said aloud: "Everyone, I'm sorry to disturb your Yaxing." Thanks to Xu Gong's kindness, I was grateful for inviting me to participate in the Lantern Festival, and I wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Yangxian Zhuxian, but there was some accident just now. Until we get to the bottom of it, please be patient and don't leave in a hurry. ”
Wang Zhen rushed over and gave up her hand again and again. "General, what the hell happened to make it murderous."
Xu Chun also sank his face and echoed: "General Sun, this Shangyuan Festival, it is not good to have fun with the people, draw swords and dance swords." ”
Sun Ce was unmoved. "Wang Juncheng, Xu Gong, I don't mean to offend, but I have hundreds of ships that have been burned, and the goods on the ships have been lost, such a big loss, such a big movement, I'm afraid it's not as simple as accidentally walking into the water, I suspect that someone is deliberately targeting me."
"Is there such a thing?" Wang Zhen and Xu Chun exchanged a knowing look. Wang Zhen said: "General, if this is the case, then it should indeed be investigated. But why are you not going to the scene and are under martial law here? Here are all local gentry in Yangxian, they have no grievances with the general, and they will never burn the general's ship, right? Even if anyone had a grudge against the general, they would not be able to burn hundreds of ships at once. ”
Sun Ce nodded. "Yes, I'm not suspicious of them, I just want to ask them to testify. Murder to pay for life, debt to pay, burn my ship and cargo, wound my people, this revenge cannot go unpunished. Please be a witness, knowing that I, Sun Ce, was also forced to do evil, and I didn't just run rampant in the countryside with a small achievement. Wang Juncheng, Xu Gong, do you think this is the truth? ”
Wang Zhen bowed slightly, Xu Chun was even more indignant, patted his chest, and said loudly: "The general is reasonable, killing people pays for life, debts are repaid, and the general should indeed do this." If someone spreads falsehoods that are not good for the general, I Xu Chun will be the first to refuse. Although people are soft-spoken, they must also speak a fair word for the general. General, how do you want to check, we will fully cooperate. ”
"Then thank Gong Xu first." Sun Ce showed a hint of a smile, and then shouted: "Yang Xiu, Xiang Lang." ”
Yang Xiu and Xiang Lang responded and bowed their hands.
"Immediately rush to the baggage camp, check the situation, take over Yangxian City, and bring Yangxian Chang to me."
Wang Zhen's face changed greatly.
