Chapter 197

The noise outside continued, and people's hurried footsteps came out of the house. The noise was far and near, the children also cried, and the dogs barked. It was very lively.

In this very flustered scene, Jiang Li sat at the door, her eyes bright, reflecting the glowing sky, but she didn't see a look of fear at all. Hearing people looking at her from a distance, she suddenly smiled. When he didn't talk, he was very serious, and he said, "miss Jiang Er is not afraid at all."

"Compared with the unarmed people and the soldiers confronting at the gate of the city, it's really nothing to be afraid of." Jiang Li answered.

"You are so brave, but you are a little similar to ah Hong." Wen Renyao seemed to think of something, "when he has nothing and has nothing to rely on, he is also so bold."

Jiang Li smiled, noncommittal. Ji Heng's past is like she doesn't know, and now she doesn't have time to listen to Wen Renyao talk about these past things. Just because in the sky, a signal fire suddenly rose, which was different from the previous drum, and fleeting.

Then, the voices outside suddenly became noisy, and the cries of women and children became louder.

At the same time, several torches were suddenly thrown from the outside of the house. The courtyard in Huangzhou is not big, and the houses are made of wood. As soon as he touched the spark, it ignited. Zhao Ke jumped up and flew a few torches, but there was still a torch burning. The house burned almost immediately. Hearing Zhao Ke scold, he said, "they spilled oil, let's go!"

Wen Ji immediately ran out of the house with Jiang Li. As soon as he walked out of the house, he was stunned by the scene outside. The whole Huangzhou City was ablaze with flames, and a row of neat houses on the street were burning at the moment. It's like a sinuous fire snake chasing a running man.

That's all. The people who heard the sound immediately wanted to take water to put out the flames. But the fire became fiercer and fiercer, and those people spilled oil before so that the house could burn.

Before Jiang Li had time to ask Wen Ji, she heard screams from afar, and people chasing and crying. Many people ran out of the street at the other end. The clothes of the people were splashed with blood, and someone chased them behind.

It was Cheng Wang who arranged in Huangzhou in advance.

Jiang Li frowned. King Cheng wanted to start with Huangzhou and go north to Yanjing. Tonight's attack, there are his people in Huangzhou City and his troops outside the city. The Huangzhou City garrison is certainly not the opponent of Cheng Wang in such a sudden situation. But king Cheng probably didn't expect one thing, that is, Ji Heng would actually come.

Those people ran very fast. Jiang Li was surrounded by people running in panic. Wen Ji protected Jiang Li and said, "second lady, go first!"

Jiang Li said, "can't you save them?"

"The garrison will arrive soon." Wen Ji's tone was very indifferent, "our responsibility is to protect the second miss."

As he spoke, Jiang Li watched helplessly a few steps away from him. A child was pushed by the crowd and fell behind. A man in black with a sword chased up with a grim smile, and he was about to catch up.

Jiang Li didn't have time to think about anything else. She pushed Wenji away and ran to the child. The child was stunned, fell to the ground again, and cried in despair, but at this time, he felt someone running around him, picked himself up, and ran back.

The man in black didn't expect that someone would rush to save the child suddenly, but he didn't do much. He immediately followed Jiang Li. Jiang Li dragged a child and couldn't run much longer. Just as someone was about to catch up, Wen Ji caught up and fought with the man in black.

Jiang Li took the opportunity to run to one side. Zhao Ke caught up and couldn't help saying, "second miss, you're really in a mess!"

"I..." Jiang Li also knew that it was too dangerous just now, and said, "I'm sorry, but... I can't watch him die like this."

The child was only five or six years old. He looked at Jiang Li stupidly. It seemed that it was only now that he realized it. "Wow", he burst into tears and belched wrongfully. Both hands are clinging to Jiang Li's sleeve. Jiang Li was also very sad. The child was full of blood. I was afraid that his parents had suffered something unexpected. His round eyes reminded Jiang Li of Xue Zhao. How could she bear to leave the child here?

Wen Ji tangled with the man in black for a while. The man in black was extremely cunning. Seeing that he was not Wen Ji's opponent, he didn't love war and turned around and ran away. Wen Ji didn't go after it. What if he was caught by someone else's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain? Ji Heng said when he left that he would protect Jiang Li naturally.

Wen Renyao murmured, "this king has killed countless people... Even the life or death of the people."

Zhao Ke was very open about this, completely unlike his harmless baby face. He said, "one will succeed, ten thousand bones have withered, which has been the case since ancient times. What about the people? There is no shortage of people in the world."

As he spoke, the drums and bugles of the city gate became fierce again. I didn't know if it was Jiang Li's illusion. I just felt that the ground under my feet also shook a few times.

Wen Renyao's face looked ugly: "the war has changed, I'm afraid that Cheng Wang's troops are stronger than expected."

"What should we do now?" Jiang Li asked, "the whole city has been burned, and there is no safe place."

"After the city garrison came, those people in black should not flee everywhere. Now the important thing is the city gate." Wen Renyao said solemnly, "they caused chaos before, just to take advantage of the chaos to open the city gate and let those people in. Once King Cheng's soldiers enter the city, even if there are ah Chen, the city guarding army is not their opponent."

Jiang Li pondered for a moment and said, "they should not have succeeded? At least not at present. If they succeed, it will not be so."

"Indeed, so they will intensify." Wen Renyao said, "I hope ah Hong can cope."

Jiang Li didn't mention going out of the gate this time. Now several of them can't do anything. If they go, if they are caught by those people and become the handle to coerce Ji Heng, it's not worth the loss.

The people of the city garrison came soon. They also seemed to know Zhao Ke and Wen Ji. One of them asked Zhao Ke and Wen Ji to take Jiang Li aside. There were flames everywhere in Huangzhou City, and some of them were put out at this time. The people gathered together, and only then did they return to God and feel a little better.

The men were a little uneasy, while the women hugged the children around them and looked in the direction of the city gate. As time goes by, everyone feels that tonight is extraordinarily long.

The child saved by Jiang Li was staring at the horizon blankly, and he didn't see his family coming to him for a long time. Jiang Li cried as soon as she asked him. It was so easy to stop crying. Jiang Li knew from his mouth that those people in black started from the south of the city. The first family was their family. At that time, his family was sleeping, and they were all brutally killed by those people. Only his brother rushed out with him in his arms, but finally his brother died. Just when he was about to die, Jiang Li saved him.

Jiang Li asked him, "what's your name?"

"Lin Yao." He sobbed and said that he was extremely wronged. Such a small child probably doesn't understand what it means to be exterminated overnight. If he is older, sensible and experienced such a big blow, he doesn't know what he will become.

Jiang Li had to coax him, just as she coaxed Xue Zhao when she was a child. It was so easy to coax him to sleep, so he handed the child to Wen Renyao. Wen Renyao was OK. He was not reluctant. On the contrary, he was very curious. Looking at the child, he didn't know what to think. Jiang Li looked around, and many injured people fell to the ground. The doctors who were still alive in Huangzhou were also here, busy seeing these people. Some city guards helped to find the medicinal materials from the medicine shop. After getting the medicinal materials, they decocted them on the spot.

Many people were killed or injured.

Jiang Li sighed and looked outside. There was still some distance from the gate, but vaguely, it seemed that she could hear the sound of swords and swords facing each other at the gate, as well as the sound of horses' hoofs. These voices reached here, and the women trembled even more. A look of fear appeared on everyone's face.

Jiang Li is a little worried.

For this moment, King Cheng has made plans for many years. From then on, Ji Heng was just a young son. Many years passed when Ji Heng knew how to plan for this moment. Such as she, Zhao Ke, Wen Ji, Lu Ji and Kong Liu, they always blindly believe that Ji Chen can do anything. But Ji Heng is only an ordinary person in the final analysis, and she is only a human body, which will also be dangerous.

But she can't do anything.

Jiang Li sighed. She couldn't do anything, which was always better than adding trouble. As long as we survive this night, as long as we survive this night, the morale of soldiers and horses who want to become king will be damaged, which is not as good as it was at the beginning. If we wait any longer, the reinforcements will come back. It is not appropriate to take all the chips for a Huangzhou. King Cheng will certainly reorganize his troops and go north to Yanjing before the reinforcements arrive, and enter the Imperial Palace at one stroke.

But it's not right. In this case, what is Ji Heng doing here for?

Jiang Li always felt that there was something wrong. There were imperial guards in Yanjing City, but there were too many people in Yanjing city. Once King Cheng came in, the consequences were unimaginable, and he was bound to ask for reinforcements. General Zhaode, the king of Xiajun in the Northwest... General Zhaode?

Like a light, it finally lit up the reality, and Jiang Li suddenly understood.

Ji Heng was not in Yanjing, but came to Huangzhou. What was the reason why he was so obsessed with Cheng Wang. It was about to make the emperor of Yanjing city order Zhaode general Yin Zhan to return to Beijing. When King Cheng entangled himself and went to Yanjing, he could just meet Yin Zhan.

But what is Ji Heng doing this for? In order to better destroy Cheng Wang? It takes too much trouble, or maybe... Just for Yin Zhan?

Jiang Li didn't understand. She wanted to think about this problem. Unconsciously, the eastern sky was white. One night passed, and it turned out to be dawn.
