The crossed scholar

Jumei also felt a little uncomfortable in the back. She didn't expect to do things so boring, and she was sweating.

These people under the Seven Star Altar are a little impatient, when will they wait? They are looking at Jialanjia's camp opposite, what kind of fire is there?Still as calm as ever!However, there was smoke from the kitchen, and everyone started to light a fire to cook!

"Heaven and earth, if I say it's on fire, it will be on fire! If you don't catch on fire, I'll be in a hurry with you!" Zhu Xiaobao was still muttering something, did he look at the fire cauldron, which was sprinkled just now? The white phosphorous water, now the water has almost evaporated, according to the temperature of this photo, it should be almost the same!

Zhu Xiaobao was also a little anxious, don't make a fool of yourself!I have already prepared nine fire cauldrons just in case, because I am afraid that if any fire cauldron fails to catch fire, there are others that can catch fire. Anyway, as long as I can light one, it is considered a success!

At this time the bullhorn stopped blowing, Zhu Xiaobao couldn't jump anymore, and he didn't play with the mahogany sword anymore, he just sat there cross-legged, closed his eyes and waited!Let Jumei watch carefully...

It was quiet on the Seven Stars Altar, only the whistling of the flags being blown by the wind, and everyone also fell silent, looking at Zhu Xiaobao a little dullly, because the atmosphere at the scene became very solemn, on the contrary there was a kind of It's a very mysterious feeling, and it makes people feel like it's a sign before something big happens!

Suddenly, white smoke came out from the last fire cauldron, and then a small flame rose slowly, and finally the fire became bigger and bigger, and the whole fire cauldron ignited a raging fire! , the other fire cauldrons were the same, they all started to burn.

Immediately, the people under the Qixing stage began to exclaim in surprise, and there was a lot of discussion, Zhu Xiaobao sat there without moving, how did this fire start?Even Duanmu Qi was dumbfounded, this guy is really a bit evil, he just set the fire on fire!

At this time, Yushuang and Yuxue sisters also started to scream: "Look, the back of Jialanjia's camp is on fire. There is so much smoke! Is the granary really on fire?"

"Let me take a look..." Duanmu Qi didn't care about his demeanor anymore, grabbed the binoculars, looked carefully for a while, and then nodded in surprise. This should be the granary for Jialanjia that Zhu Xiaobao said Set fire!This guy really did it!But in the end is how to do it?

At this time, Zhu Xiaobao also became excited, jumped up, jumped and screamed, and was still singing: "You are like a fire in that winter!"

The blazing fire warms my heart

Every time when you quietly approach me

the fire illuminates me

you are like that fire

The blazing fire warms me

you are like that fire

The blazing fire illuminates me

I'm happy though

but didn't tell you

i know you too

He really likes me..."

Good guy, "A Fire in Winter" has come out, and Jumei asked puzzledly: "Little pig, it's not winter now! You sang it wrong!"

"Shut up! It doesn't matter whether it's winter or summer, as long as it burns! --- Let the world burn!" Zhu Xiaobao shouted loudly with open arms again...

……

Jialanjia's heart is quite good today, her men and horses have arrived one after another, and King Ming agreed

Food and grass were also delivered.It seems that the cooperation between the two parties is quite pleasant!

Now Jialanga is kneeling in front of Jialanjia's eyes, the tenderness of a small tribe, it is Chi Fen, who is crying to Jialanjia, Mutu tribe and Chihu tribe have snatched hundreds of women from their tribe, and Thousands of cattle and sheep were robbed!

"Hey! Didn't you already return the woman you took away? Why did you take it away again? Don't worry, I will deal with it! Those cattle and sheep, even if I requisitioned them, I will double the compensation when the war is over. Here it is for you! Mu Xiong, Red Copper, you guys, discipline your own people well, and if I know that you are doing anything wrong, I will not be polite!" Jialanga was eating with the leaders of the tribe at this time Drinking, although he said so, but everyone can tell that Jialan Jia doesn't care much about Chi Fen.It's just talk.Originally, they didn't think much of this kind of tribe that defected.

"Hahahaha! Chi Fen, do you want to drink some too? It's not a big deal. The big deal is to go to my place after drinking, and the women in my place can play with you. How about it? Hahahaha..." Chi Tong drank a little happily , laughed loudly.

"You...you...you took my daughter forcibly! You..." Chi Fen said angrily and anxiously while the wise man said straight through.

"Let it go, I accepted her as a concubine, and I have already exalted her, don't be ignorant of flattery!" Red Tong immediately smashed the wine bowl and cursed loudly.

"Huh! Presumptuousness, how can you be so presumptuous in my big tent? You immediately return the woman you snatched today!...Chi Fen, you should retreat too! When the Hecha tribe is wiped out, Some of the captured women will be assigned to your tribe, which should be regarded as compensation! You go down too!" Jialanga said a little disappointed.

Chi Fen hurriedly saluted and left with his head bowed. Although he was also a tribal leader, he didn't even have the qualifications to drink with him here.Besides, he has no face to drink together in front of these people. In the eyes of these people, he is just a coward and a joke!

Although some small tribes are small in number, they are strong and dare to risk their lives for their own tribe. Such tribes are actually very respected. There are several such small tribes present, and Jialanga respects them very much!

In fact, Chi Fen still regrets it a bit now, he might as well stay in Lingyue Mountain, at least he can live with a bit of self-esteem there!

"Well! Come on, send the food delivered today to Chi Fen in [-] deniers, and send him some good wine and shredded tobacco, and say that I rewarded him!" Seeing Chi Fen's aggrieved expression, Jia Lanjia It looks like I want to appease him, so give him some rewards!

"Come on, drink! Today is really fun, Zhu Xiaobao, I heard that we were building a seven-star altar yesterday, and we wanted to burn our granary. This is a joke. No wonder his name is thinking so now, it turns out it is Such a sensationalist! Hahahaha..." Mu Xiong raised his wine bowl and said loudly at this time.

"Hahahaha, that's right! I'm almost dying of worry, what if he wants to do something to sleep with my woman from a long distance away?" Red Copper also laughed exaggeratedly.

It turns out that there are also Jialanjia's undercover agents in Lingyue Mountain. They started to build the Seven Stars Altar yesterday afternoon, and they got the news by night!So now take it out as a joke and joke!

"Hehe! I actually sent more people near the granary! It seems unnecessary!" Jialanjia also couldn't help laughing, feeling that he was too cautious!

At this moment, a chaotic sound came from outside, and someone shouted in panic: "It's bad, the granary is on fire!"

"what???"

Chapter 524 I'm Not Here

In Jialanjia's big tent, those people who were holding up their wine glasses to taunt and tease Zhu Xiaobao's deeds suddenly froze, and the wine glasses held in mid-air also froze!This slap in the face is too timely, right?

Zuowang Jialanga glared at Mu Xiong angrily, before she could get angry, she jumped up and rushed out. Food is the most important strategic material, and she immediately became anxious.He didn't care about his demeanor anymore, so he came out immediately, got on his horse, and rushed towards the granary!The leaders of the tribes behind them also hurriedly followed.

When we arrived at the granary, it was too late to fight the raging fire. Besides, there was no water source nearby, and the nearest stream was three miles away!Fortunately, only two of the four granaries were burned, and the grain in the remaining two granaries was being transferred in a hurry.Among them, the biggest fire is the hay that feeds the war horses. They are piled together, and the flames are soaring into the sky. You can feel the hot breath from a distance!

"Hurry up! Put out the fire, you idiots! Don't let the burning hay fly around!" Jialanjia shouted angrily.

Fortunately, Jialanjia sent more people to the granary, so that the grain in the other two granaries could be transported away in time, and the ones that had already burned could not be helped. Although they were desperately trying to put out the fire, it was useless at all. He watched helplessly as he was burned to ashes.During this time, some people were burned, and more than a dozen horses were burned to death. Many horses were frightened and ran wildly, and many people were injured. The granary was really in chaos for a while...

After an hour, everything that should be burned was finished, and the fire gradually extinguished. Looking at the people who were still toasting and laughing just now, they were all ashamed and dejected!

"Hmph! Laugh again, mock Zhu Xiaobao again, why don't you laugh? You know how to drink and play with women all day long, and you can't even look after a granary! A bunch of trash!" Jialanjia was angry and anxious, He vented all his anger on these people.

"Chitose Wang's family, I think it's better to find out the reason, someone must have set the fire!" Mu Xiong was still unconvinced in his heart, this is simply impossible, can the granary be reduced by doing things in time?Unheard of ah.His team was the closest to here, so Mu Xiong wanted to investigate this matter in disbelief.

"Investigate! Be sure to investigate! Who set the fire? How did they get in? Check the people guarding the granary one by one!" Jialanjia also said fiercely. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't believe that this was Zhu Xiaobao's practice. The effect of things!If this is the case, it would be too scary. Do you still dare to start a war with Zhu Xiaobao?

After searching for a day and a night, they couldn't find any clues. Those guarding the granary were all the troops that Jialanjia relied on the most, and they didn't slack off at all. During the process of guarding the point, they didn't even dare to take a sip of wine!

In the end, Jialanjia suspected that the fire was caused by a few soldiers smoking, and finally killed several soldiers who were smoking on duty.At the same time, it is also stipulated that no one is allowed to smoke in guarding the granary, nor is it allowed to carry fire starters with him!In Jialanjia's heart, she still hoped that this was just an accident!

But in Lingyue Mountain, Duanmu Qi had followed Zhu Xiaobao, so he followed wherever he went!He was curious, he had to figure out the whole story, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep!

"Brother-in-law, didn't I tell you that this is really the miraculous effect I received from doing the ritual, and you have seen it too. After I finished the ritual, their granary caught fire!" Zhu Xiaobao said very distressed , this old man is really persistent enough, he has been following him for a long time, and now he even eats dinner here, just to figure out the secret in the middle.

"Don't talk nonsense to me. Others believe me, but I don't believe it! When I saw the nine fire cauldrons ignite by themselves, I knew it was your fault! You must tell me, or I won't be able to sleep! The two of us still Isn't it brother-in-law? You didn't tell me this little thing?" Duanmu Qi insisted very persistently.

"Hey, you can think for yourself, many things are only interesting in the process of research, and it's boring to put it bluntly!" Zhu Xiaobao said with a smile.

"Don't be fooled by me. Others use conventional strategies and objects. You always find a new way. What do I think? Well, does it have something to do with that match?" Duanmu Qi said helplessly.

Even if he knows other people's schemes or methods, he can find out the reason immediately, but he has no clue about these things about Zhu Xiaobao, and he can't analyze them at all, but he still thinks of something...

"Well! Almost, it's a little close! Well, for the sake of your persistence, I'll tell you one person, and keep this matter secret, because the impact in the future is far from over!" Zhu Xiao Bao saw that there was no one else around except Jumei, and then said in a low voice: "Actually, it's a kind of substance on the head of the match. This thing is called white phosphorus, which is extremely flammable. As long as the temperature reaches forty degrees, oh! By the way, it is the temperature at noon, and it will burn by itself. I usually dissolve it in water, which is safe. I use Buddha dust to soak water and sprinkle it in the nine fire cauldrons, just waiting for the water to burn. Part of it evaporates, and the temperature of the remaining white phosphorus rises sharply under the scorching sun, and it catches fire, and the granary of Jialanjia also caught fire in the same way!"

"Oh! I see, you asked Ye Qinghong to send people to pour the water into the grain when loading the truck? So, no matter how tight their defenses are, it won't help! Then why do you want to make a fuss about it? Where's the head?" Duanmu Qi was really quick-witted, and immediately knew the process in the middle!

"Hey! I'm hitting them psychologically and making them panic! Think about it, if they can burn their granary dozens of miles away, can they not panic? I know they have undercover agents in Lingyue Mountain, so Let them know with great fanfare that I want to do something and burn their granaries!" Zhu Xiaobao said with some pride, this is the most brilliant idea he has come up with so far!

"Wonderful! I admire you! Let me add something to you. I'll let someone spread the news immediately. There are nine fire cauldrons on the altar, which means that they will be burned nine times! Let them not dare to slack off at all, just go to work." !" Duanmu Qi was really powerful, and immediately followed up with a more ruthless strategy.

"That's right! That's a good idea, burn it nine times! Anyway, they will make up their own brains by then, and keep adding up to the number 'nine'!" Zhu Xiaobao was overwhelmed when he heard it!

"Hmph, did you see that, tell me your strategy, and I will help you fill in the gaps. Even if you are extremely smart, you still need us to help you!" Duanmu Qi also said proudly, he was confident in using the strategy , will never be inferior to Zhu Xiaobao!

"Hey! I did this to keep it secret. Besides, this is to protect Ye Qinghong's people to the greatest extent. If the news gets out, those slaves who loaded the car will die! And if you do this twice It's almost there, and it won't have any effect in the future!" Zhu Xiaobao said with a sigh.

"Okay! But the influence of this incident is far from over. We can still use this incident at that time!" Duanmu Qi immediately thought of another plan!But he didn't say either!Just waiting for Zhu Xiaobao to ask again, but Zhu Xiaobao didn't open his mouth!

……

Zuo Wang Jialanga was sitting in Ming Wang's mansion at this time, she came to greet Ming Wang, she accidentally burned so much food, she must say hello to Ming Ming, besides, I hope Ming Ming can add some more!Especially those hay fodder, you can't allow these people to let the horses graze during the day, right?

"Hmph! What kind of ritual is it set on fire? It's just nonsense. I don't believe that Zhu Xiaobao can set the granary on fire by doing a religious ritual?" Princess Ming snorted disdainfully, she didn't believe this at all.

"But... Judging from the news from those undercover agents, it is really evil. It is said that the nine fire cauldrons on the altar first burned by themselves, and then we burned here. And... there is another It is rumored that nine fire cauldrons means burning nine times?... Hehe, of course, I don’t believe it either!” Jialanjia smiled with a bit of embarrassment.

"Okay! Then I want to see if his Zhu Xiaobao can be burned again! Come on, let someone load the car immediately, and send my people to escort. King Zuo, the people there also arrange the most trustworthy people! I Let's see how he set fire to it!" Princess Ming shouted domineeringly as she slapped the table.

"Yes! Younger sister, go back and make arrangements. This time, I will go to the granary to watch in person!" Jialanjia was overjoyed immediately, and let's not talk about anything else, first of all, the food has arrived again!It seems that King Ming and Princess Ming didn't have much to blame!Of course, this time Jialanjia gave King Ming another five hundred sheep!

Not only Zuowang Jialanjia, but also Princess Ming cautiously went to the loading site to have a look, and they were all guarded by her most trusted guards.The families that brought the grain were also big families that had been entrusted by King Ming for decades. Every cart of grain was unloaded for inspection before loading.Concubine Ming would rather be more troublesome, but she must be safe from herself first!

In the end, Concubine Ming was still worried, and she personally brought people along with the food team to Jialanjia's camp. She wanted to see if the problem was with Jialanjia!

Zuo Wangjialanga didn't expect that Princess Ming would come in person, but her inspection here is also quite strict, this time before the food is put into storage, the trucks are unloaded first.Then her guards personally moved into the newly built granary.It turned out that Jialanjia changed the place just to be on the safe side.

Zuo Wangjialanga and Princess Ming, seeing that they attached so much importance to each other, nodded to each other, this time it should be foolproof.These grains, together with those that were not burned before, are enough to feed these people for half a month now!And within half a month, they should be able to win Lingyue Mountain!

Before leaving, Princess Ming also left behind a team of guards to assist Jialanjia in guarding the granary, and secretly dispatched several groups of spies to search the surrounding area secretly.Even if someone wants to sneak in secretly, it is impossible!The gate of the granary was even more heavily guarded.

When they returned to Prince Ming's Mansion, it was already dawn.But Princess Ming was still a little uneasy, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep!

King Ming still loves this wife, although he usually likes to find some young and beautiful women for excitement, but he really cares about this wife, because Princess Ming is his think tank!So he set up a banquet at the highest point on the second floor of Prince Ming's Mansion, drinking and relaxing with Princess Ming!He also very graciously handed Princess Ming a lit cigarette pot!

"Hehe! Ma'am, don't worry, this time it's absolutely safe! If it still burns like this, it means that Zhu Xiaobao really has unpredictable skills! I will withdraw my troops immediately!" King Ming laughed and said, He thought Princess Ming was a little too careful!

"Hmph! What do you know, you know that drinking, smoking and playing with women! You haven't seen that Zhu Xiaobao's things have penetrated into our lives, soap, burning knives, tobacco sticks, and toilet paper! It's even more terrifying It is his firearms! It is not easy for a person to specialize in one thing in his life, but he is full of tricks, and everything is unexpected! Don't you think it is terrible?" Princess Ming did not take the cigarette stick, Although she usually likes to take two sips, especially when thinking about problems.

Princess Ming is now standing in front of the window with her hands behind her back. In the distance is the Six Harmonies Pagoda, which symbolizes the fiefdom of King Ming, and there is a couplet on it:

One palm holding the sky, five fingers, three long and two short

Liuhe inserts the ground, seven floors, all directions

At the beginning, this second couplet was most said to be from the nineteen princesses, but the rumors still came from Zhu Xiaobao's advice.Every time I see this couplet, I feel domineering and unparalleled!But now Princess Ming feels that it is not King Ming who is domineering and incomparable, but Zhu Xiaobao!

"Hehe! Ma'am, what are you looking at? Don't worry, the Six Harmonies Tower will not fall down, the world will eventually belong to me, Xia Zeming! We have eliminated the third child now, and our strength and territory have greatly increased!" Ming Wang also followed to the window Before, he took a puff of smoke and said proudly.

"So what? After killing the third child, the First Prince and His Highness the Sixth Highness will get more benefits. And now they are pushing the matter of destroying the third child on us, which is also a huge hidden danger!! Hmph! This pair of The first couplet of the couplet is very similar to you, but the second couplet is not you..." Princess Ming rolled her eyes at King Ming, not as optimistic as him!Although King Wen did not live up to expectations, there are still many people who are grievances for King Wen, and many people want to avenge King Wen!

"It's not me? Who is that? Who has this ability!" Ming Wang said loudly in dissatisfaction immediately.

"...a king! I don't know who it will be! Do you know why I attach so much importance to the burning of food and grass this time? Because we can only be invincible if we take down Lingyue Mountain! What to do is to increase Jialanjia's confidence and strive to win Lingyue Mountain in one fell swoop!" Princess Ming didn't care about King Ming's dissatisfaction, but turned to the other side, looking at the direction of Jialanjia's residence in the distance!

"Hehe! I have my wife by my side, so it's not a problem to protect myself, right?" King Ming came over and said with a forced smile after all the fuss.

"Seizing the throne since ancient times, have you ever seen anyone who can protect himself? Either he is in the position, or the whole family is wiped out! There has never been an exception! It's not like you don't know! The result of being wiped out is..." Princess Ming looked at King Ming. I am willing to go on, because the result is too terrible. By then, dying on the battlefield will be the best result!

"Then I'll kill them all!" King Ming was also startled, and then said viciously.

Both of them looked out of the window in silence, but when they looked at it, they suddenly found that there was smoke rising from the direction of Jialanjia's residence, and it was getting thicker and thicker, and finally developed into a blaze!Is it burning again?

Duke Ming and Concubine Ming looked at each other in blank dismay, they were both a little terrified, could it be that his careful operation had no effect?Could it be that Zhu Xiaobao can really set fire in the air?

Zuo Wangjialanga is also a little unbelievable watching the fire burning more and more intensely, but she has never left, and even the most capable generals under her command are not far away.No one has ever been put in the granary!The key is that there are people watching in the granary!

Jialanjia's idea is also suitable for Princess Ming, she wants to dispel those rumors of Zhu Xiaobao, why set fire in the air, and burn it nine times in a row?She also knows that this kind of thing has a huge impact on the hearts of the soldiers!So she guarded here personally to boost morale, and then launched an attack on Lingyue Mountain!

"What's the matter with you? How did it start burning inside?" Jialan Jia was about to go crazy at this time, and it still caught fire after such strict precautions, which is too incredible!Hastily summoned the people in the granary, shouted angrily and asked.

"I don't know! Zuo Wang Chitose, we just stared inside, even if it was hot and sweaty all over, we didn't dare to slack off! Every hour, we changed a group of people! But it started to burn by itself, and it was not a place, Smoke rose from several places at the same time, and then it started to burn! It was too late to fight the fire!" The guard guarding the granary was still a member of the Jialanjia clan, and he was sweating all over at this time, wearing a short hexagram, It's too hot to be stuffy in there!But they really didn't slack off in the slightest.

"Hurry up to put out the fire! Hurry up!" Jialanga yelled angrily before he could punish the man. This time it was even worse. The newly built granary only had two exits. It was to prevent the exits from being too many and give the enemy an opportunity. .Now it has become my biggest disadvantage, the entrance and exit at the exit has been messed up!

It was Mu Xiong who was more simple and rude, and directly sent someone to knock down the wall of the granary, broke through the wall, and began to rescue those grains that had not been burned!It's not bad, they have a lot of people here, although the fire is very fast, but they can still rescue some food!

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! Could it be that Zhu Xiaobao really did it?" Jialanjia looked at the busy crowd and muttered to herself in a dull manner, her self-confidence was also rapidly increasing. was suppressed!

……

Standing on the Seven Star Altar and watching the fire from the other side, Zhu Xiaobao opened his arms and shouted loudly: "Let the whole world burn! Let the fire be more intense!"

Suddenly Zhu Xiaobao had a flash of inspiration and asked: "I said, brother-in-law! If we rush up and make a sneak attack now, is it a good idea?"

"Hmm! When it comes to schemes, you're still a bit short! Look there!" Duanmuqi Nianxu smiled, and pointed to the northwest.

"Fuck! Yu Shuang, Yu Xue, and Yu Li? Wu Yue? Why did they all rush out?"

Chapter 525 I'm Not Here

Zhu Xiaobao was a little stunned. Although he brought 40 horses, plus the female warriors from Lingyue Mountain and the army developed in recent years, there are still 80 horses.But compared with Zuo Wangming's coalition army, it was still more than half behind.This is the start of a war?

"Hehe! It's not a war, it's just to grab some benefits! Let's frustrate them!" Duanmu Qi said nonchalantly.

"Isn't this called a war? How many people ran out here? Twenty thousand? Thirty thousand? Or fifty thousand?" Zhu Xiaobao asked a little puzzled, holding a telescope, staring at the few people running in front.They were all the people he worried about the most, Yu Shuang, Yu Xue, Wu Yue, and Yu Li, who were actually following Jumei!Zhu Xiaobao looked back and saw that Jumei was indeed not following behind him today, thinking that she was practicing kung fu, but unexpectedly she was following behind to go out to fight!

"What kind of eyes are you looking at? There are only 5 elite!" Duanmu Qi grinned and said, this guy's feeling about the number of people is too bad!How did you see that [-] people came?

"Yeah, I used a telescope to look at it, so I didn't see it so comprehensively!" Zhu Xiaobao said perfunctorily, but it was because he had too little actual combat experience that he didn't have a specific concept of the number of people.

But at this time, Zhu Xiaobao didn't bother to ask any more questions. He had been staring at the female generals speeding on the battlefield, so don't let anything happen!

But Zhu Xiaobao's worries are superfluous, these ten thousand female warriors are absolute elites, not only are they superb in riding skills, but also have a tacit understanding in their actions, and they can keep a good distance.Moreover, their war horses are all the best, and they ran over a dozen miles in a blink of an eye!

Those tribes guarding the outskirts of the Jialanga camp are the most unpopular small tribes.These tribes are also divided into distant and close relatives. For example, the Mutu tribe is stationed in the center of the camp, and there is basically no danger. Usually, they check the posts at night and send some patrolling soldiers between the camps.But these peripheral tribes must be very cautious, no matter day or night, they must step up their precautions. Once there is an abnormality, they will be the first to fight!
