Chapter 414 (1/2)
The rubble rolled down and injured more than 100 people in an instant.
Xie Xuan was too close. Seeing that the flying stone was going to hit him on the head, Zhou Minghao turned around and flew over, pulled him away and hid in the upper corner.
The whole Shizi was dizzy and earthy. He didn't forget to say to him, ”you really don't know martial arts? What are you doing here if you don't know martial arts?”
He always thought that Xie Xiaoyan's cousin was Zang Feng. He hid too much. He didn't think that he was really a weak boy.
Xie Yu said ”thank you, Shizi”. He kept looking at the stone wall without moving away for half a minute.
Zhao Zhi's people didn't attack again, but they brought in a large number of refined saltpeter, which was directly mixed with inferior gunpowder made of various fuels, although its lethality was not as powerful as that recorded in the book.
Zhou Minghao said, ”Zhao Zhi is really not a thing. He dug Yunzhou so saltpeter to make gunpowder. He found all unreliable people to make such four different things. If he were the son of the world...”
Xie Xuan glanced at him.
Zhou Shizi realized that he had made a mistake, stopped and scolded: ”Zhao Zhi, you fool! You don't have to make gunpowder to beat outsiders. You can use it on your own people. What's the matter!”
The stone wall appeared at the right time, blocking Zhao Zhi for most of the night and giving some vitality to the people on the roof.
But it doesn't work at all.
Although the gunpowder on Zhao Zhi's side was of poor quality, it could not withstand a large amount. It was lit and bombed again and again. The night was so deep, and the fire was everywhere. According to the panicked faces of the people, cracks began to appear on the stone wall.
Wen Jiu was cluttering in his heart and suddenly raised his eyes.
She knew that great disaster was coming.
Most people are constantly asking for the protection of the gods. Zhao Yu has begun to cry quietly.
Only those individuals in the criminal department are still talking. It's really the collusion between Rui Wang and Yunzhou. Now the case is clear.
While jin'er and Yu Lu beside her read Amitabha and ”come quickly, eldest childe.”
The vast snow was so cold that she could not feel anything on the wine surface. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand and wrap the cloak on the eldest princess more tightly.
Zhao Jingyi looked fearless and said to her, ”before Zhao Zhi came, you should stay away from the palace. Change your maid's clothes and put some mud on your face. If no one recognizes you, you might be able to save your life.”
She said, ”Xiao Ling, change your clothes to shopkeeper Wen.”
The maid who changed to Xiaoling answered and immediately began to untie her clothes.
”No need.” Wenjiu said lightly, ”if Zhao Zhi succeeds, no one can live on the roof. But I bet he can't succeed. Neither the princess nor I will die.”
Zhao Jingyi laughed, ”are you so sure? Who gave you the courage?”
Warm wine, eyes like ink, slowly said: ”because... My Xie Dongfeng will come.”
He said he would pick her up.
Even though there are thousands of troops on the altar, she is anxious and still believes that he will come.
Zhao Jingyi said helplessly, ”I really don't know whether you are smart or stupid. Why do you believe everything he says?”
Wen Jiu didn't speak, but looked up for ye Zhiqiu's shadow in the crowd.
The leader hasn't been seen since he came to lingyunshan. She always thinks it's not that simple.
In front of the stone wall not far away.
Huang Yuwei, who had a broken arm, rushed to Zhou Minghao and asked, ”Shizi, the wall is about to collapse! What should I do?”
”Third childe, what else can you do?” Zhou Minghao smiled bitterly and turned to ask Xie Yu.
The fire behind the stone wall was dazzling, and the rebels shouted to fight and kill.
More and more cries and angry curses overlap. No matter how the queen and others scold, it is useless. Those who are timid cry more and more frightening.
There was a flash of fire in the crack on the stone wall, and it seemed to collapse.
Xie Xuan frowned and said, ”move back!”
Zhou Minghao turned back, his face changed greatly, and said in a high voice, ”withdraw quickly!”
In an instant, the stone wall broke and the boulder fell suddenly.
Zhou Minghao wanted to stretch out his hand to pull Xie Yu, but he was a step late. A dark shadow in the crowd swept over and pulled the third childe back more than ten steps. He could escape the falling boulder.
When the dust was flying all over the sky, the fire rushed to our eyes in an instant.
Zhao Zhi took a large group of soldiers and horses across the rubble and debris, stepping on the snow at night, and killed them in front of the sacrificial roof.
The few remaining Huangyu guards were soon suppressed. The king Shangshu of the Ministry of rites got up angrily and scolded: ”disorderly subjects and thieves!”
Before the sound fell, he was shot by the deputy general on the side of King Rui and rolled down the steps.
For a moment, everyone was as quiet as a cold cicada. They didn't even dare to cry.
Zhao Zhi walked over and kicked away Wang Shangshu. ”If this king doesn't say you, you're not as good as your brother. Otherwise, how can he be the first assistant, and you're just a Shangshu of the Ministry of rites until you die?”
”Disorderly, disorderly officials...” before Wang Shangshu finished his words, Zhao Zhi kicked away, hit his head on the steps and immediately broke his breath.
The crowd retreated unconsciously.
King Rui had a short temper. He used to dress up in front of the old emperor. Now he sees that he will win the throne. He is completely exposed. It is obvious that he is a murderous man.
Wen Jiu's face turned a little white and couldn't help holding the dagger hidden in his sleeve.
Zhao Jingyi whispered to her, ”I told you to go away earlier. You didn't listen. Now it's too late to regret.”
Wenjiu whispered, ”I don't regret it.”
