Jinxia and the others decided to go home first. At this time, YangYue had already arranged everyone safely and was waiting for their return to another residence.
“Empty city strategy!” Hearing this strategy, YangYue was also taken aback, “This is not a story in a book, she is not Zhuge Liang, nor is she a pirate Sima Yi.” (character in Samkok).
“Can or can’t, that’s the only way we have. The pirates are only a few meters away from the city, maybe before morning tomorrow, they would already be here. Our city is full of women, weak adults and children, how can they go anywhere at this point?”
Jinxia wasted no time taking out the tangyuan that had been cooked earlier, dividing it quickly into four bowls, giving it to them.
“You can still eat?” Even though Xie Xiao said that, he still accepted it.
“Brother, this could be our last meal.” Jinxia urged him to eat quickly, and gave the other bowl to Cen Shou.
Hearing her words, Cen Shou froze, then realized that Jinxia isn’t wrong. If the pirates find flaws in their strategy, they will immediately attack the city. Seeing the current situation, having to defend the city against them, maybe before morning, the defense team would give up…Until then…
“Miss Yuan, you go find Ms. Chun later and take good care of her.” Cen Shou said in a low voice, “When we were in Hangzhou, the Young Master specifically ordered me to take good care of you two.”
Knowing what he meant, Jinxia raised her head to look at him, saying nothing.
YangYue also continued: “Jinxia, the current situation is very different, we’re not just catching random criminals. After all, you’re still a girl, in a moment, I will take you to Ms. Chun’s residence–.”
Jinxia tightened her eyebrows, she quickly cut YangYue off: “Da Yang, why do you also say that? I don’t like listening to these words about being a girl. Do you know who’s running this whole plan right now? Madam Qi!”
“Madam Qi is a woman with a military background; a puppy can’t walk beside a tiger. Don’t compare yourself with her.” YangYue said, “If anything happens to you, how could I face my father?”
If Boss Yang was here, and the situation was abnormal, he would definitely let me go. It’s different if I’m fragile like Ms. Chun, but in this case, I’m not, so I won’t make trouble. How can you tell me to step back and watch like a coward when I am a LiuShanmen?”
As soon as she finished, she shoved the whole tangyuan in her mouth, then got up and walked away.
Xie Xiao chuckled: “This girl is bold!”
YangYue shook his head, sighed: “Being bold for what? It’s useless.”
After Cen Shou finished eating his food, his face remained calm and said: “Since her kung fu isn’t good, just wait until the pirates attack the city, we’ll just knock her out and carry her home.”
Not expecting this word to come out of his mouth, Xie Xiao glanced at him briefly: “You’re going to carry her back?”
“I’ll knock her out, you carry her.”
***
In the middle of the night, the top of Xinhe City wall was filled with people holding all kinds of weapons. Their torches lightly lit a bright light on their face, the expression on everyone’s face was very fierce.
Apart from the sound of breathing, and burning torches, everything else was silent. Everyone’s eyes fixated on the entrance door, not wanting to miss a single movement at all.
Jinxia was carrying a bow and arrow, her back was against the wall. She sat with her eyes closed, trying to rest, but her mind was constantly spinning in a chaotic manner, about what’s going to happen if the pirates enter the city…There’s a lot of scenes appearing in her head.
The best situation is when the pirates entered the city, the rescue troops arrived on time, then they would be able to go home and sleep without worries. As for the worst situation, the pirates find out about their tactics, and attack the city with full force. If this was the case, there’s no need to think about what happened afterward, cause they can only fight until death. There’s one more possible scenario — the pirates are temporarily occupied trying to figure out our tactics, meaning they won’t dare to attack, and they’re able to hold off the fighting for a while. The pirates will definitely try to find the Ming soldiers’ weak points.
Weak point, weak point…. Jinxia immediately remembered the Qingbo river, she got up and ran to Madam Qi.
Madam Qi was ordering people to bring all the gunpowder up to the city walls; if the pirates were preparing to attack, they could use the cannon to scare them off.
“Madam Qi, Qingbo river….” Jinxia pulled her, and frantically said, “The pirates’ swimming skills are very good, surely they can send people to enter the city using the Qingbo river to blend in with our people and assess us.”
Madam Qi nodded her head: “I expected it from the start. I’ve already sent people to install iron gates at the two entrances at Qingbo river, and there’s soldiers watching over it.”
Jinxia hastily explained: “Madam Qi, you don’t understand what I mean, if they send people to investigate the condition of the Ming troops, we can use tactics against tactics, so that they will misunderstand that our Ming troops in the city have a large number.”
“……..” Madam Qi was stunned for a moment, “How do we perform this strategy?”
Jinxia whispered the plan to her.
*****
Fading light at the end of the street, people passing by.
Today is the start of a lantern festival, shops on both sides of the street all decorated their vendors, hanging various kinds of lanterns.
Lu Yi stood in the middle of the street, looking around, until in the midst of the crowd he saw a young girl. She stood there, looked at him and smiled sweetly, then turned to walk away.
He followed after her, seeing her jumping up and down, gentle and graceful.
The girl walked up to the front door of a family’s house, her hands and feet crawling up to the lion stone statue, eagerly playing with the stone ball in the lion’s mouth.
He raised his head slowly, looking at the family nameplate, as he was admiring the writing, “Xia” appeared in his eyes.
—
Lu Yi suddenly opened his eyes, awakened from his dream.
“You’re awake.”
Lan Daoxing approached him, squinted his eyes at him, and whispered: “Why are you in daze? Did the explosion hit your head? Do you know who I am?”
Lu Yi didn’t answer, trying very hard to get up, Lan Daoxing hurriedly helped him up.
“Your hand was hit by the explosion, luckily it didn’t hurt the tendons but there were fragments of the cannon. While you were unconscious, we’ve already removed all the pieces.” Lan Daoxing said, finally asked again, “Do you know who I am?”
Lu Yi still did not answer, just asked: “How is the war situation in Cengang?”
“Perfection—” Lan Daoxing laughed softly, “Great success!”
Lu Yi let out a sigh of relief, and continued to ask: “What about Mao Haifeng?”
“He and some of the pirates broke through the Kemei mountains, above it was apparently a secret path that leads to the outside, but General Yu has already sent people to chase after him, it shouldn’t be a problem.” Lan Daoxing said, “But you,— You scared General Yu and General Wang to death. At first, we couldn’t find you, and then afterward, we found you buried under rocks and weapons. General Yu immediately brought people over to dig you out…”
While speaking, Yu Dayou stepped in the tent, saw that Lu Yi was awake, immediately let out a sigh of relief: “You’re finally awake, it’s been one full day and a night. How’s your head?”
“I’m very good. Brother, don’t worry.” Lu Yi said.
Hearing him speaking clearly, Yu Dayou has completely calmed down: “Good then…. This time, the situation was more terrifying than dangerous. For the sake of blowing up the ammunition storage, you almost lost your life. This debt, Brother, will always be remembered in my heart.”
“Brother, if you think of me as a brother, don’t talk like that anymore.” Lu Yi laughed, “This time thanks to the silver thread armor, otherwise even if I hide under the stone door, I won’t be able to come out as a whole”
At that time the situation was very urgent, Lu Yi studied the conditions of storage. The left side chest was filled with gunpowder, whereas cannons and other firearms were stacked on the right. He decided to use the cannon to blow up the chests with the gunpowder, then he ran and hid behind the door. Lu Yi calculated that since this door was made stone-thick, it would serve as a perfect shield, plus the armor on his body, it’s enough to block the explosion and other flying rocks, and even if he was blown away by the explosion, he wouldn’t be seriously injured.
Wang Chonggu rushed into the room, saw Lu Yi was awake, his face also turned into joy: “Lu Daren, you are awake!”
Lu Yi nodded his head laughing: “Sorry for worrying everyone.”
“General Yu couldn’t eat all day, now that Lu Daren is awake, General Yul can also calm down a bit, and be able to eat a little.” Wang Chonggu looked at Yu Dayou, “Oh yes, also the news of the victory at Cenggang, General Yu, you must write an official report and let them deliver it to the Capital immediately. We can’t bare the consequences if it’s delay.”
Yu Dayou understands Wang Chonggu’s worries very well. This news should be immediately notified to the King, but Yu Dayou suddenly knitted his eyebrows: “But, Mao Haifeng got away, I’m afraid the King will be dissatisfied.”
Wang Chonggu sighed: “At least we’ve successfully seized Cengang, even if Mao Haifeng escapes, he’s just a stray dog, therefore he won’t cause any trouble.”
Lu Yi accepted the water given by Lan Daoxing, took a few sips, then suddenly remembered something, and said: “Brother, the official report of the great victory in Cengang, do not use my name.”
Yu Dayou said in surprise: “How is that possible? This time, we’re able to seize Cengang because of Brother, risking your life to block the explosion, how could I possibly take the credit alone? During this war, you’ve contributed greatly.”
“Brother, these words are too much. We were able to win this because, first Mao Haifeng time has come, second was because Big Brother is great in organizing and leading a perfect troop, this is the point.” Lu Yi laughed.
“Brother…”
“Brother, listen to me, I have my own reasons, but it is not appropriate to explain in detail. Maybe one day when everything is settled well, I will find an opportunity to tell you.” Lu Yi said.
Yu Dayou understands JinYiwei’s ability, since he has said so, he no longer continues to insist: “Then, I will listen to you, Brother.”
Wang Chonggu was about to leave, suddenly remembered something, looking at Yu Dayou said: “That’s right, General Yu, there was a report indicating that the pirates that were heading to Taizhou have turned around and are in a hurry to reach Xinhe City. General Qi still hasn’t got a chance to face them, but right now, we’re unsure if General Qi will be back in time.”
“Xinhe City?!” Lu Yi suddenly stretched forward, pulled Wang Chonggu’s robes, frantically asked: “You said earlier, pirates are heading for Xinhe city?”
Wang Chonggu didn’t understand why Lu Yi was panicking, he nodded his head: “Yes, the report said so.”
“What’s happening?” Yu Dayou asked.
“Initially, the pirates were traveling to Ninghai, seeing the situation, they were fully prepared to attack Taizhou. A few days ago, General Qi had already moved his troops to Ninghai. Currently, in Xinhe City, there’s only sick elderly, and the rest of the city is quite empty. Unexpectedly, the pirates switched their plan and are now heading for Xinhe City.” Wang Chonggu shook his head, “The pirates are very sneaky.”
While he was talking, Lu Yi was already struggling to get down, because his body was still weak, he almost fell, Lan Daoxing hurriedly supported him.
“Brother, what are you doing?” Yu Dayou said in surprise.
“Brother, please prepare for me a very fast horse! I have to go to Xinhe City.” Lu Yi tugged on Yu Dayou’s clothes, accidentally hitting his left shoulder wounds, he couldn’t help but moan in pain.
Yu Dayou instinctively refused: “You can’t, how can you ride a horse in this condition, you will definitely faint. Are your people in Xinhe City? I will send people to go on your behalf.”
Lu Yi kept shaking his head: “I can’t….I won’t be calm staying here, I have to go!” While he was speaking, he had already stood up, although his body was a little wobbly, but he still insisted on getting up.
“Lu Daren, Xinhe City is General Qi’s home. I think General Qi will not sleep or eat until he’s home, and he won’t let the pirates attack his city.” Wang Chonggy also helped persuade him, “Besides, if you go alone, you won’t be able to help.”
Deep down, Lu Yi understands everything, he knows that everyone Wang Chonggu just said were all true, but Lu Yi is still feeling uneasy. He continued to shake his head and said, “No matter what happens, I have to go to Xinhe City. If I stay here, I can’t calm down.”
“You….” Yu Dayou, who saw his stubbornness, suddenly realized: “Is the person in Xinhe City related to your marriage stone?”
Lu Yi forced a laugh, said nothing. His laugh indirectly answered Yu Dayou’s question.
“Aiya, my Brother! You really are…” Yu Dayou thought that even half a day he couldn’t find the right words to describe it, he could only sigh and say: “Let Big Brother come with you.”
Lan Daoxing said: “I will go with you, I almost like an officer. I can take care of you on the road.”
“You want to go?” Yu Dayou was still disapproving of the situation, “Or if we wait a little longer, more news will come.”
Lu Yi shook his head, raised his hand in respect to Yu Dayou: “Please Brother, lend me two of your fastest horses!”
“This wound hasn’t healed, you can’t even step on your feet properly, how can you go to Xinhe City?” Yu Dayou didn’t succeed in persuading him, could only order people to prepare the horses, he faced Lan Daoxing again, “He won’t be able to sit on the horse properly, you take good care of him.”
Lan Daoxing laughed and said: “General Yu calm down, if he can’t sit properly, I will tie him up, wouldn’t it be less troublesome.”
Yu Dayou praised him.
After everything was prepared properly, all the food was also placed in the saddlebags of the horses, so that on the way there was something to eat on the way. Lu Yi got on the horse, used his uninjured hand to whip the reins, raised his hand to bid Yu Dayou and Wang Chonggu farewell, then left with Lan Daoxing.
It was a dark night, two men on two horses galloped down the street, generating dust and smoke.
Yu Dayou stood on top of Cengang, seeing the shadows disappear in the darkness of the night, he sighed.
Jinxia and the others decided to go home first. At this time, YangYue had already arranged everyone safely and was waiting for their return to another residence.
“Empty city strategy!” Hearing this strategy, YangYue was also taken aback, “This is not a story in a book, she is not Zhuge Liang, nor is she a pirate Sima Yi.” (character in Samkok).
