Chapter 156: Breaking the City 1
Although Bai Lian knew that what Xia Nan said was reasonable, she couldn't turn this corner in her heart, and she hesitated: "Even if the rebels can't be used by me, my White Lotus Sect will never act for the tiger and help the government do things......"
Xia Nan sighed, after all, the White Lotus Sect is still an underground organization that coerces the rebellious people to rebel as its own responsibility, and it is indeed an impossible task to persuade the high-ranking personnel of the White Lotus Sect to report to the government in a short period of time.

"Anyway, let's get out of here. Geng Zhongming wants to kill our mouths, the white girl has a wound on the shoulder, and I can't help, so I rely on you alone, two fists are invincible to four hands......"
Bai Lian looked at Bai Xiaoxian and readily agreed, it was really difficult for her to protect the two of them alone, and there was no need to put herself in danger.
The three of them took advantage of the cover of the night and used the method they used when they came in to climb over the wall and get out of Geng's mansion. In order to avoid confronting the rebels who were leading the way, they deliberately chose the other side of the wall.
Since Geng's Mansion is a dangerous place, and the barracks can't be returned, then they must find a place to stay, and the three of them looked for inns along the way, but after knocking on the doors of several inns, they hit a wall one after another. Because of the closure of Dengzhou, many people can't go out of the city, the inns are full, and even the firewood houses are occupied. The three of them had no choice but to find a private house to spend the night. In the summer, Nancao had a "Liaodong accent", and many people closed the door as soon as they heard it. The depth of the contradictions between the Liaodong people and the locals can be seen.
In the end, Bai Xiaoxian persuaded a family with a Jiangsu-Zhejiang accent to borrow a night. The male owner of this family went to Qingzhou for the funeral, and only the hostess and mother-in-law were at home. If he hadn't seen two female relatives among the three, he wouldn't have dared to let them live in rashly.
There is only one vacant room in this family, and the three of them are not shy about it, plus they have no sleepiness, and they sit with their clothes. Xia Nan frowned, thinking of a way to stop the rebels from entering the city.
Seeing Xia Nan's appearance, Bai Xiaoxian couldn't bear it, and whispered to persuade Bai Lian: "Master, why don't we help him?" Although your plan to use the rebels may not be realized, it is not easy to get to this point, this is all his credit, we can't cross the river and tear down the bridge, right? ”
Bai Lian was still a little hesitant, Xia Nan heard Bai Xiaoxian's words, and said, "It's okay, I won't embarrass the fairy girl." In this way, you stay here, and I will try my luck by myself going to the governor's yamen, after all, I have dealt with Sun Junmen, and I may be able to meet him. ”
Hearing this, Bai Lian couldn't help it, she got up and said, "Let's go, I won't help the government, but I can help you." ”
Xia Nan and Bai Xiaoxian were overjoyed when they heard this, and Xia Nan asked, "What does Immortal Gu mean?" ”
"The whole city of Dengzhou is under martial law, it is not safe for you to go on the road alone, even if you get to the governor's yamen, the guards at the door may not give you a message, if necessary, I can help you go directly to the inner house by passing the guards. As for the rest of the matter, I won't be involved. ”
Xia Nan's heart was relieved, with her help, even if he couldn't enter the governor's yamen from the main gate, it was a big deal to have a drama of climbing over the wall and entering, as long as he saw Sun Yuanhua, he was sure to persuade the other party to believe in himself.
Accompanied by Bai Lian, Xia Nan went straight to the governor's yamen with confidence. Perhaps because the inertia of history was too strong, his expectations were disappointed.
The lights at the gate of the governor's yamen were brightly lit, and one of the guards at the gate always had a rare impression of Xia Nanyi, who had begged to see Futai, and told him: The recent movements of the rebels are unknown, and Lord Futai is not at ease, so he went to inspect the city defense overnight, and he didn't know when he would come back. Xia Nan was disappointed when he heard this.
Bai Lian asked, "What now, go to the various city gates to look for it?" ”
Xia Nan shook his head: "No need, the elite soldiers in the city are concentrated in the city gates and city walls, and we don't know where Sun Yuanhua is patrolling the defense, and he is like a headless fly, maybe he will be misunderstood by the defenders as a peep into the city defense, and then it will be a big trouble." It looks like it's going to be hard to find someone tonight, so let's try my luck tomorrow......"
The two returned to the private house where they were staying, it was almost midnight, Bai Lian and Bai Xiaoxian were sleeping on the bed and clothes, and Xia Nan made do with the chair for a while.
On the second day, Xia Nan didn't give up, and went to try his luck again, but learned that Sun Yuanhua did not return home last night.
hit the wall one after another, Xia Nan was a little panicked, is the wheel of history really unstoppable? The rebels' attack on Dengju City can't be changed because of their butterfly?
That night, Xia Nan climbed onto the roof, he didn't know what day the rebels and the Dongjiang soldiers in the city colluded to break the city in the original history.
Arriving at the rooftop, the view was very open. In the summer, when you look at the east gate from the south, the lanterns and torches of the city wall in the distance outline the outline of the city, and the lanterns of the city patrol soldiers flickering between the houses at your feet.
This is the first time that Xia Nan calmed down to observe the city wall of Dengzhou, with the lantern torch as a reference, the city wall of Dengzhou looks at least eleven or twelve meters high, and there is a moat six or seven meters deep outside the city, plus a large number of artillery at the head of the city, if the city gate should not be opened inside, the more than 10,000 people of the rebels are not enough to fill the moat. Although there is no oneself, Dengzhou will still be broken under the cooperation of the rebels and Geng Zhongming and others, but after all, he participated in this chaos, and it can also be said that he dug a pit for himself to jump, and maybe he will die in the chaos tonight.
Thinking of this, Xia Nan smiled bitterly, if time could be turned back, he would never be so risky, the turtle stream hiding in Qiongzhou to climb the science and technology tree is the king, at most the pace of marching into the mainland is slower, anyway, he is not in a hurry to grab Chongzhen's position as emperor.
At this time, there was a sound behind him, and Xia Nan looked back, but it was Bai Lian and Bai Xiaoxian who also climbed onto the roof.
Bai Lian stood on the roof beam with her hands in her hands and did not speak. Bai Xiaoxian crawled over and sat beside him and asked softly, "What are you doing here?" ”
Xia Nan looked at the city wall and replied, "I wonder when the rebels will enter the city. ”
"Don't you know everything, pinch your fingers and calculate, when will the rebels enter the city?"
Xia Nan smiled bitterly: "You really look up to me, I'm not a fortune teller." However, the rebel camp on Mishen Mountain is very close to Dengzhou, as long as Geng Zhongming has a heart, one day is enough to contact back and forth, plus the arrangement of manpower, he can start tomorrow night at the latest, and tonight at the earliest...... "Speaking of this, his heart tightened, it can't really be tonight, right?
At this moment, as if to confirm his guess, a loud "boom" shook the whole city, and the three of them shook together, looking in the direction from which the sound came, which was the direction of the east gate.
Xia Nan's face changed: "Did you really do it?" This is a cannon as a command. He was no stranger to the sound of a cannon firing.
