A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1320
[Chapter 1310 Night Fire]
Duan Shao raised his eyebrows, his eyes glowed with brilliance, and said excitedly: “Have you seen the fire in Huize City?”
The man said: “The little one has been staring at the city from the south of the city, and after a few hours, he saw a sudden fire in the city.
There was a raging fire. From outside the city, you could see the fire rising into the sky, and the night sky was red. Xiao Xiao was sure that there was a fire in the city, so he immediately returned and came to report.”
Although Duan Shao tried his best to control his emotions, his eyebrows were not clear. But he still couldn’t hide his excitement and said to Shentuluo: “Captain, the grain burning is successful, and we can hope to restore the country.”
Shentuluo said cautiously: “His Royal Highness, this person was only seen outside the city, and he didn’t. When we entered the city, we did not see with our own eyes that the Huize granary caught fire. Whether the granary was burned or not, we are not completely sure.”
Duan Shao nodded and said, “Yes, we must be sure.”
“If those ninjas succeeded , will be withdrawn from the city immediately.” Shen Tuluo said: “When they come back, we can know whether it is successful.”
“It makes sense.” Although it has not been completely determined, Duan Shao is very clear in his heart and can see it outside the city. The fire in the city was blazing into the sky, and the ferocity of the fire could be imagined. If it was an ordinary fire, it would never be possible to see it outside the city. Only when the food and grass piled up with grains caught fire would it be so fierce. There are eight out of ten ninjas. Jiu had completed the task and was in a good mood. He smiled and said, “Captain, we
do
n’t drink alcohol for a while. Ben Gong is a little greedy now. How about having two drinks together?”
It was successful, but seeing Duan Shao’s excitement, it didn’t help the prince’s mood. He smiled and said, “There is a good wine in the cabin that was bestowed by the late emperor.
The battleship Shen Tuluo was on was the first battleship of the Eastern Qi Navy. It was very large, and the main cabin was also very spacious.
There are two jars of wine on the table, but the food and drink is very simple. Now the navy is short of food, the morale is unstable, and the soldiers are still hungry. If His Royal Highness the Prince is good at this time, the soldiers will know, It is inevitable that there will be dissatisfaction. Duan Shao has eaten with the soldiers these days, and naturally he does not want to destroy the impression that the prince and them share weal and woe in the hearts of the soldiers.
After two glasses of wine, the smile on Duan Shao’s face became even stronger, and he said with a smile: “Captain, I can’t believe that Feichan Miren can make such a contribution to my Daqi. After the country is restored, Ben Gong really wants to take care of it. Reward them.” After a pause,
he said again, “But the one who made the first contribution is Mr. Mo!”
Shen Tuluo said, “Although Mo Ying has become a disciple of the East China Sea, since he is a disciple of the Shen family, no matter where he goes, in times of national disaster. You have to stand up.”
“Mr. Mo studied under the national teacher, and his ability is naturally outstanding.” Duan Shaoduan cup said: “Actually, Ben Gong sometimes thinks that if the national teacher makes a move, he will stab that little boy in Chu country to death with a sword. Emperor, the state of Chu must…!” Before he could finish speaking, Shen Tuluo interrupted immediately: “Your Highness, you can’t have this intention. This precedent is set, and the consequences are unimaginable. The first victim is His Highness. The Beigong Liancheng of Chu is also a great master. Once the national teacher takes action, Beigong Liancheng will definitely follow suit.”
Duan Shao sneered and said: “This Gong also just said it casually.”
“Mo Ying leaves the island to protect the country, this is already quite dangerous, but the Longshan Covenant did not restrict the disciples of the great master from being involved in the world.” Shen Tuluo said sternly: “This minister is now I’m just worried, if Beigong also has a successor, will he also be involved because of this.”
“He has a successor?”
“No one knows.” Shen Tuluo shook his head and said, “Beigong has a hidden head and a tail, no one knows his whereabouts, and even more so. No one knows what he has done over the years, and if his descendants suddenly appear, I will not be surprised. It’s just that I have reached the current situation, and Mo Ying has to go out, which has taken a risk.”
Duan Shao nodded slightly and asked, “Yes, I haven’t seen Mr. Mo these days, where is he?”
“His Royal Highness, when it’s time to appear, he will naturally appear.” Shen Tuluo said: “It’s better not to let too many people know that he has left the mountain. The soldiers under his command only think that those Fei Chan Mi Ren are raised by His Highness, and they don’t know. Their master is Mo Ying.”
Duan Shao said: “Yes, let’s…!” Before he could finish speaking, he heard a voice from outside the cabin: “Captain, there is a signal on the shore.”
Shen Tuluo and Duan Shao got up at the same time and left. Going to the window, looking towards the south bank, and seeing a signal from the shore, Duan Shao said happily: “It should be Fei Chan Mi Ren.” He ordered: “Let the boat come over!” The
two got out of the cabin and quickly A small boat carried four ninjas aboard the warship. These ninjas were all black and masked. Fei Chan Mi Nin had always been dressed like this, and they looked very mysterious. No one had seen their faces, Duan Shao Kuai. Stepping forward, Shen Sheng asked: “Have you completed the mission?”
A ninja stepped forward and knelt down on one knee: “Burn the granary and complete the mission!”
“Okay!” Duan Shao clapped his hands and said, “You guys did a good job. , Hahaha… Commander, now it seems that we really need to have a few drinks.”
Shen Tuluo glanced at it, but calmly asked: “You are a group of five people to carry out the task, why only The four of you are back? Where is the other one?”
“When we retreated, we were chased by officers and soldiers in the city, and the leader of Danfu was shot by an arrow, so he led those pursuers away.” The ninja said, “The leader should stay in the city temporarily. Recuperate, inquire about information by the way, recover from injury, and return immediately.”
After the task of burning food was completed, Duan Shao actually didn’t care whether Feichan Miren was damaged or not, but at this time he still asked hypocritically: “Is his injury serious? Do you want to send someone to rescue?”
“The injury is not serious, but the leg is injured and it is difficult to move.” The ninja said: “The leader is good at hiding his whereabouts, and chasing troops can’t help him.”
Duan Shao said with a smile: “That’s very good. You have made great achievements, and you will naturally have great rewards when you look back. Go down and rest first.” He waved his hand to signal Feichan Miren to retreat. After the four ninjas retreated, Duan Shao said: “Great Governor, you’re done, we can rest assured. The granary of Huize City was burned, and the news will soon spread. If Chu Guochaotang heard the news, it would definitely be in chaos. Contact the people of the country and let them withdraw their troops from Linzi.” Feeling hopeful for the country’s recovery, he stretched his waist and said, “The governor hasn’t rested for a few days, now you can get a good night’s sleep and keep your spirits up, we have a lot more to come. Things have to be done.”
Shen Tuluo learned that the granary was indeed destroyed, and his expression became much stretched. He smiled and said: “His Royal Highness is really tired these days
. On another unremarkable ship.
The Eastern Qi Navy had dozens of warships, but they were divided into three groups. Except for one that guarded the eastern estuary of the Huai River, the other two were cruising on the Huai River.
After the defeat of the Donghai Navy, the Dongqi Navy was no longer invincible on the water, and even if they were divided, no navy could pose a threat to them.
The navy led by Shentuluo had two main warships and a dozen other small warships, and the total number of sailors was over 2,000.
Duan Shao rested in different places every night. He took turns resting on more than a dozen ordinary warships, so that people could not understand where he was.
After the excitement, there was a surge of tiredness. It was only an hour away from dawn. Lying in the cabin, although the tiredness did not diminish, he still couldn’t sleep. He was already thinking about the next negotiation with Chu.
Holding the lifeblood of the Qinhuai Army, Duan Shao didn’t want it to be as simple as letting the Chu State retreat. Even if the final conditions were not many, once the negotiation started, the lions would naturally open their mouths at the beginning, and it was related to the tens of thousands of troops and horses of the Chu State. Duan Shao believed that Chu State should make huge concessions.
In a daze, suddenly he heard exclamations from outside, Duan Shao sat up abruptly, and heard the messy footsteps on the deck, he knew something was wrong, and he didn’t even bother to put on his jacket and rushed out. In the cabin, when I saw the figure shaking outside the cabin, I was about to ask, when I suddenly felt an unusual sparkle around the corner of my eye, I turned my head to look over, and my face changed suddenly.
Only to see the flames rising into the sky not far away, there were actually two warships set on fire.
Duan Shao was shocked, rushed to the side of the ship, put his hands on the side of the ship, and opened his eyes wide.
At this moment, it was just dawn, and the two warships were wrapped in fire. There were shouts from the burning warships, and when they saw that someone had jumped into the river from the boat, Duan Shao was trembling, turned around, and was behind him. Already surrounded by dozens of sailors, all of whom drew their swords out of their sheaths, they could only watch helplessly as the fire engulfed the warship over there.
“What the hell is going on?” Duan Shao roared.
“His Royal Highness, the two ships suddenly caught fire, and…and the burning speed was extremely fast. It was swallowed by the fire in just a moment.” A guard behind Duan Shao.
The guard’s face was also shocked.
“Approach the past, UU read www.sonicmtl.com and quickly put out the fire.” Duan Shao waved: “Then…is that a grain ship?”
Dongqi Navy has two special ships to store grain in the cabin, Duan Shao said with a wave of his hand.
At this time, Shao did not care how many sailors were burned to death on the ship, and immediately thought of the safety of the grain ship.
There were more than ten warships surrounding the main warship, and their appearances were roughly similar. Although Duan Shao knew that there were two warships dedicated to storing grain, he was not sure which two were it. It was exactly two that were on fire at the moment. Ship, what he fears most now is the destruction of the two grain ships.
Once the grain ship is destroyed, the food of the Eastern Qi Navy will be cut off in an instant, and 2,000 officers and soldiers will start to starve from today.
At this moment, several warships have already approached the burning ships. Obviously, they all want to approach the past to put out the fire, but the fire is too fierce. If the two burning ships are really grain ships, it may be too late to save the food at this moment.
