Ah San and ah Si asked, "why does the King say that?"
"The flood in the south of linqiao county is relatively light. Of course, most of the people will flee to the south. If Xiao Xiang also goes south, there will be many people with mixed eyes. If Xiao Xiang goes to the south, he will inevitably expose his tracks on the road. If he goes north, he can at least avoid most of the victims."
Tang Yin shrugged and said, "if I were Xiao Xiang, I might also choose to go north."
After listening to his words, a San and a Si Zi thought about it carefully. It seems that there is some truth in it. There are more than a dozen small boats coming from the West.
Tang Yin's heart moved. He stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the fleet in the distance. Because the distance was too far, Tang Yin could not see clearly. The only thing for sure was that it was not a military ship, and the people on the ship were not officers and soldiers.
He thought for a moment, then shook his head to a'san-a-si and said, "follow them and see where they are going."
A-3 and A-4 both answered, speeding up the oar rowing speed and quietly keeping up with the fleet.
By the end of the afternoon, the outline of a city wall gradually appeared in front of them. A-San took out the map and identified it. Then he said to Tang Yin, "king, the front should be Pingcheng of Yu County."
"Pingcheng..." Tang Yin had no impression of this place, but he could feel that the terrain was higher and the flood under the boat was much shallower. He looked ahead and said, "it seems that Pingcheng hasn't been flooded yet."
Outside the city wall in front of us, there are many boats, large and small. If we look at them coldly, we can see that there are no less than 1000 boats. We can judge from these boats that stop outside the city. Now, the city of Ping must be full of people.
There must be something wrong with so many people gathering in Pingcheng. Tang Yin decided to go to the city to find out.
Fortunately, they were in small boats. Even though there were already many boats outside the city, they were forced to get in.
When you get off the ship, the first thing you can see is the high and wide gate of Pingcheng. However, even the soldiers guarding the city can't see it now. Only groups of Zhen people are coming in and going out.
Ah Si inadvertently raised his head and looked at the city wall. His face was startled and said in a low voice: "big Look, young master
Along the line of sight of ah Si, Tang Yin raised his eyes. It turned out that hundreds of ropes were hanging on the head of the city, and a corpse was hanging on each rope. Some of the bodies had been dead for a long time, so rotten that they could not even recognize their faces, while others had just died, bloodstained and even dripping blood. These bodies have one thing in common, that is, they all wear the armor of the Sichuan army.
After seeing this, ah San frowned and whispered to Tang Yin, "young master, it seems that the screen city has been occupied by the rebels."
Tang Yin didn't respond. He took back his eyes and walked to the city. At the same time, he said, "ah Si, you stay to see the boat. Ah San, follow me into the city."
"Yes! Young master A four should a, immediately and uneasily said: "the situation in the city is not clear, young master can be careful!"
Tang Yin smiles indifferently and nods slightly.
Just as they expected, the city is now full of Zhenren people. Not only the shops and shops along the road are full of people, but also the streets are full of people. It's very lively, but the appearance of excitement in the city can't hide the strong spirit of killing.
There are almost no smiles on people's faces, and all of them are armed. Some have knives across their waists, some have swords on their waists, and some have axes and sickles pinned to their belts.
Tang Yin and A-San walked in with the flow of people and looked at the situation around them. As they were walking, they came face to face with more than ten big men. These people directly stood in front of Tang Yin and A-San and blocked their way.
A third was about to speak. Tang Yin held him up. Then he stepped forward and gave a smile to the big men opposite him. He asked, "what are you doing, brothers?" What he said was a genuine accent.
A big man came out of the crowd. First he looked at Tang Yin and ah San carefully. Then he laughed and said, "little brother, are you two?"
Don't understand the meaning of the other party's question, Tang Yin's mind turned quickly, still hung a smile on his face, gently nodded his head, said: "exactly."
"It must be that my little brother has come to Pingcheng for the sake of the king of Sichuan. In this case, it's better to join us. After all, there are many people and great strength. If we can win the first prize, we can share the reward equally." The big man opened his mouth wide, and the flesh on his face suddenly trembled. His smile made people panic.
Xiao Xiang is in Pingcheng now? Tang Yin was surprised. No wonder so many Zhen people gathered in Pingcheng, which was besieged by the flood. No wonder there was a strong anger in the city. It turned out that people were all running for Xiao Xiang's head.
He made a quick inference in his heart. On the surface, he was still silent. He took a quick look at the other people. Most of them were in ragged clothes and had no decent weapons. In addition to a few axes, most of them also took sticks and rakes. He said with a smile: "it's true that there are many people and great strength. However, I'm worried that you will drag us down!""Don't look down upon people, little brother. We have all been on the battlefield and fought wars. We have crawled out of the dead. If it wasn't for..."
With these words, the big man lowered his eyes and aimed at the sword on the waist of Tang Yin and A-San, and continued: "you have the sword. Even if you two want to join us, we may not agree to it."
Tang Yin and A-San looked at each other. The former asked casually, "are you sure you can win the first prize?"
The big man laughed, looked around and said, "you can see that there are so many people in Pingcheng now. Everyone is fighting for the head of the king of Sichuan. Everyone wants to get the reward. Who can win the first prize depends not only on strength, but also on luck. However, two of us are local people, one of whom has been a servant for half a year in the city Lord's mansion, right The situation of the city Lord's house is very familiar. I should understand that. This is very beneficial! "
Tang Yin didn't directly ask questions, but by beating around the Bush, he could basically tell that Xiao Xiang was trapped in the Lord's mansion of Pingcheng.
He narrowed his eyes and said: "as far as I know, there are many masters around the king of Sichuan, including two elders of Shenchi. Do you believe that you can defeat the elders of Shenchi?"
"My little brother's news is very smart." The big man sneered and said, "there are only two elders of Shenchi. No matter how powerful they are, they only have four hands. But now there are not 100000 people in the city who want to take the head of the king of Sichuan. There are also 80000 or 90000 people who want to take the head of the king of Sichuan. Once they start, everyone will have a chance."
Tang Yin turned his eyes and finally nodded: "well, since you sincerely invite me, I'll take one of them!"
Seeing that he nodded and agreed, the big man and a dozen of his companions behind him were all beaming with joy.
The present rebellion in linqiao county and the one initiated by Li Shu are of two natures. The latter is an organized and leaded insurgency, while the former is an unorganized and leaderless rebellion, which is completely a spontaneous uprising by the people.
The common people in linqiao County want to take the head of the king of Sichuan, that is, to revenge the people of Sichuan for not rescuing the dying, but also to earn the reward of a thousand taels of gold issued by the rich and noble bank.
It's just that one person's strength is limited after all, so the people of Zhen people come together one after another, to put it bluntly, it is the team of each group. Some small teams are only 35 people, while some teams are more than ten or dozens, or even hundreds.
These people who find Tang Yin are one of many teams. For a small team of more than ten people, two more helpers will greatly improve their strength. Besides, Tang Yin and A-San are equipped with sophisticated weapons such as sabre.
They took Tang Yin and a San to a small house in the east of the city. After talking to each other, Tang Yin knew that the name of the man was Ju Zhuo. He was a native of Pingcheng, and this house was his home.
As for Xiao Xiang, the king of Sichuan, she is indeed trapped in the Lord's house of Pingcheng. With her, there are nearly a thousand bodyguards. Most of the guards are spiritual practitioners, and now there are solid walls of the city Lord's mansion as a barrier. Zhen people attacked several times before and after, but they did not attack, but killed and injured many people.
At this time, the two sides are in a stalemate, but according to Ju Zhuo's estimation, the current stalemate will not last too long, because Zhen Ren has either started to raise kerosene, or has begun to dig tunnels secretly, preparing to attack with fire on the ground and sneak attack with secret channels under the ground.
After listening to Ju Zhuo's introduction, Tang Yin asked curiously, "what preparation have you made?"
Hearing his question, Ju Zhuo and others laughed at each other. He shook his head to a young man and said, "ah Tong, speak up!"
The young man named ah Tong said with a smile, "I used to be a boy in the city Lord's house. I know that there is a tunnel leading to the outside world in the city Lord's house. When we start, we can sneak into the city Lord's house through that secret Road, or wait for the king of Sichuan to escape on his own initiative."
"Oh?" Tang Yin looked straight and asked, "where is the exit of that secret passage?"
A tong shook his head and said, "in order to keep secret, only I know, even big brother Ju doesn't know!"
No more questions. Since the other party doesn't want to say it, his question is also in vain. What's more, if he really wants to find out, he can do it at any time. It's just a simple matter.
Joining Ju Zhuo's team saved Tang Yin a lot of trouble. At least he had a stable foothold and could keep abreast of the city's dynamics. On the day after Tang Yin moved into Pingcheng, Zhenren finally couldn't resist and launched a large-scale attack on the city Lord's house.
Facing the arrow rain from the city Lord's house, Zhen people rushed forward, shouting and ignoring. They either carried the earthen pot filled with fire oil or held up the torch. When they rushed to the front and back of the courtyard wall, they threw the earthen pot and the torch into the main residence of the city.
If only one or two people do this, the damage will not be great, but if thousands of people do it together, the consequences will be too terrible.
