Chapter 1066
Xu Chengsi had little clothes left, lying on the snow in the cold, and he was seriously injured, his whole body trembled at this time, knowing that he fell into the hands of these widows, which was even more miserable than killing himself with a knife. It's just that when I heard Yanagi Zongyan say it viciously, thinking of my sisters and nephews, I was really a little afraid that Yanagi Zongyan would kill him. Although he hated Yanagi Zongyan in his heart, he didn't dare to contradict it with words at this time, so he could only lie on the ground, tilt his head to the side, and no longer look at Yanagi Zongyan.
Seeing Xu Chenghei like this, Liu Sheng Zongyan knew that he had scruples about himself, so he became more and more proud. I saw him gently pat Xu Chengsi on the right cheek with the long sword in his hand, and said, "How could the soldiers and horses of Ruyang Wei listen to the orders of your two lost dogs and come to besiege the old man?"
Xu Chengsi thought that things had come to this point, and the soldiers and horses of Ruyang Wei had surrounded the Chenghuang Temple, and whether he said it or not, it would be okay to deal with major events. It's better to let Yanagi Zongyan know that if these widows are frightened, they can suffer less flesh and skin. It was he who said in a trembling voice: "In Ruyang Weizhong, there are also people from our Xu family, who have been secretly communicating with us for a long time...... After we heard that Lord Liang ordered the Lantern Festival to be brought forward, we were ready and prepared. Late yesterday night, the people of our Xu family took advantage of Hu Kun's unpreparedness to capture and arrest him, only saying that he was seriously ill and that he was not allowed to meet with his officers...... Ruyangwei's soldiers and horses are now in our hands. After my brother and brother left the Chenghuang Temple today, they went to Hu and Hu Kun's Chinese army, and took the forged warrant of the Henan Commander's envoy to bring Ruyangwei's iron cavalry into the city and besieged the Chenghuang Temple......"
When Xu Chengsi said this, he spit out another mouthful of blood, and he couldn't speak anymore for a while.
At this time, no one in the courtyard spoke except for the sound of burning fires. Xu Chengsi and Liu Sheng Zongyan spoke, but Li Qiufeng, Ji Dingzhong, Huang Chong, Yin Zhutou, Master Feng and the others who were standing in front of the main hall could hear it clearly. Hearing that Hu Kun was restrained, and Ruyang Wei's three thousand iron horses fell into the hands of the Xu family, Ji Dingzhong and Huang Chong's faces changed greatly, and they invariably glanced at each other, and they secretly complained in their hearts.
Liu Sheng Zongyan sneered: "Okay, you two thieves, you have gained our benefits, but you have already made up your mind to deal with us." It's a shame that you dogs talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality all day long, but you like to do treacherous things the most. ”
When Liu Sheng Zongyan said this, he glanced at Xu Chengsi, suddenly smiled, and said: "Since you control the soldiers and horses of Ruyang Guard, the odds are in your hands, why do you want to enter the City God Temple again and send him to death yourself?!"
Xu Chengsi's chest rose and fell violently, his mouth was panting, and he said: "Our Xu family is inseparable from the five families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua, and we know that these people are insidious and cunning. Although we have devised a plan to deal with them, we are afraid that they will have another plot and escape from the City God Temple. It was my brother who asked me to sneak into the temple and spy on these dog thieves. I had already stored lamp oil in the Chenghuang Temple, and I planned to set a fire when the five families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua gathered in the temple, so that they could also taste the taste of being burned by the fire......
Liu Sheng Zongyan slapped the long sword on Xu Chengsi's face, and said, "You little thief is the most vicious. Come to think of it, just killing these people can't solve the resentment in your heart. I thought about setting a fire and burning these people alive in order to get your wish. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and when you secretly poured lamp oil, you were discovered by the old man. As a result, instead of stealing chickens, he eroded a handful of rice, and instead of burning us to death, he was blown up like this. Haha, haha, it's really unpleasant!"
Xu Chengsi was angry and anxious. At first, he did discuss with Xu Chengzong, and he wanted to take advantage of the leaders of the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families to arrive in Xiuwu County and burn down the Chenghuang Temple to avenge the Xu family's hundreds of years of revenge. Xu Chengzong, under the pretext of preparing for the Lantern Festival, procured a large amount of lamp oil and transported it into the Chenghuang Temple by Xu Chenghe. At that time, Miao Zhu was very surprised to see Xu Chengsi send six large barrels of lamp oil, and asked Xu Chengsi that in previous years, half a barrel of lamp oil could not be used up, why so much lamp oil was sent this year. Xu Chengsi had already discussed with Xu Chengzong, and when he heard Miao Zhu ask, he only said that this year's Lantern Festival was different from previous years, and that Lord Liang Huan and Lord Han Qusi, the prefect of Luoyang, had arrived in Xiuwu County. It is the Yamen of Yizhi County who has made up his mind that this year's Lantern Festival must be lively and lively, so that Lord Liang and Lord Han are satisfied. The magistrate of the county yamen has issued an official document asking all townships in the county seat and nearby villages to prepare lanterns and send them to the county seat before the lantern festival. Compared with previous years, the lanterns of this year's Lantern Festival are only several times more. In addition, all the lamp oil needed for the lanterns participating in this year's Lantern Festival is supplied by the government. Yu County Cheng was ordered by the magistrate of the county, so he prepared six large barrels of lamp oil and stored them in the City God Temple. On the day of the Lantern Festival, the barrels are transported to various parts of the city in case of emergency.
After hearing this, Miao Zhu did not suspect it. In fact, not all of these six large wooden barrels contain lamp oil. Two of the barrels contained gunpowder. According to Xu Chenghe's thoughts, the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du are extremely cunning, and they may not be able to burn all these people to death if they just set a fire. If you set fire to the gunpowder and then set it on fire, none of these people will be able to escape.
Xu Chengzong listened to Xu Chengsi's idea and knew that Xu Chengsi was ruthless, not only to kill all the children of the five families in Fengmen Village, but also to let them die miserably, in order to avenge the burning of Mrs. Hua Rui in the Qianyin Cave. Although Xu Chengsi was a little worried, he just saw that Xu Chengsi was extremely excited, and knew that persuasion was useless, so he had to nod in agreement.
Today, there is a lot of turmoil in the City God Temple, and the Japanese and Li Qiufeng and Ji Dingzhong have been vicious. Before the chaos in the temple, Xu Chengzong slipped out of the City God Temple, went to Hu Kun's army according to the previous plan, and joined forces with the Xu family who was hiding in the Ruyang Wei undercover to seize Hu Kun's military power. And Xu Chengsi stayed in the City God Temple to monitor the crowd in case these people slipped away in advance.
Later, Xu Chengsi followed Liu Sheng Zongyan's side, and saw that the two sides were fighting, with heavy casualties, and he was proud. Later, when it was getting late, he sneaked out of the Chenghuang Temple, secretly poisoned him, killed more than 20 Japanese guards placed by the lord of Shidao outside the temple, and led Ruyangwei's iron cavalry to the outside of the temple and surrounded the Chenghuang Temple.
Xu Chengsi originally thought that Xu Chengzong would pretend to be the special envoy of the Henan Metropolitan Command Si Yamen, and ordered Ruyangwei's soldiers and horses to attack the Chenghuang Temple, and capture or kill the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families. After capturing the four family leaders, they were humiliated, and then burned alive to avenge the ancestors of the Xu family. Xu Sizong shook his head and refused, only saying that the power of the Nie Kou is not small, and the Nie family is extremely cunning, if the army invades the temple regardless of it, I am afraid that the Nie family and the Nie Kou will join forces, and it will not be easy to kill the two groups of people at that time. It is better to wait for the Nie family and the Japanese to lose both, and then drive the army to attack, so that there is a chance of victory.
Although Xu Chengsi was not convinced, after the First World War in Haizhou, Xu Chengzong became the head of the Xu family, and he could not help but listen to Xu Chengzong's orders. It was Xu Chengzong who asked him to return to the City God Temple, inciting the Japanese and the Nie family to fight to the death, and the more people who died, the better. Although Xu Chengsi knew that returning to the City God Temple at this time was tantamount to entering the Longtan Tiger's Den, which was extremely dangerous, he could not shirk it, so he returned to the City God Temple. I happened to meet the monk Guangzhi in front of the temple, and I followed him back to the City God Temple.
Yanagi Zongyan and Shidao saw Xu Chengsi and Monk Guangzhi fleeing back to the temple together, but they were not suspicious. At that time, Yanagi Zongyan and Shidao Master were about to deal with Li Qiufeng and Ji Dingzhong with all their might, and Xu Chengji quietly slipped into the darkness, wanting to open the lid of the large wooden barrel, pour lamp oil into the courtyard, and then set a fire and burn everyone alive. Unexpectedly, Yanagi Zongyan sent people to light up all the lanterns on the high pole, and Xu Chengsi almost collided with these killers. He was afraid that after the lantern was lit, his whereabouts would be exposed, so he secretly attacked and killed all the dozen or so killers of the Yanagi clan, and his corpses were hung on high poles. It's just that he just opened the lid of a large wooden barrel when Yanagi Zongyan noticed that someone was making trouble. Later, Yanagi Zongyan suddenly attacked with a rocket, seriously injuring Xu Chengsi.
