So I play chess

Chapter 119 Comer

"Anyone make a move, quickly find me a ladder!"

Zhou Tong had no choice but to keep shouting on the roof.

However, at this time, among the following people, no one would care about Zhou Tong.

Cheng Wangshu obviously had a good judgment on the situation, this leap bypassed Wen Liang's persecution, and jumped right in front of Wen Gu five steps away.This position will not make Wen Liang feel that Wen Gu is in too much danger and attack fiercely. At the same time, he must be distracted from taking care of his eldest lady.

Wen Liang was naturally aware of Nan Yijian's famous "sword of taking advantage of the situation", and the other party's leap was so obvious that Wen Liang even secretly said "OK" in his heart.But with Zhixia by his side, even if Cheng Wangshu had plans for the eldest lady, he might not be able to succeed with one blow.

Just such an opponent, this battle will not be easy.

However, these people were the only ones who could participate in the siege, plus Zhou Tong who was anxiously spinning around on the roof.

The hidden guards in the center can't all gather here. Since Cheng Wangshu came, in order to prevent any other strategies such as diverting the tiger away from the mountain and keeping the warehouse in the dark, the rest of the hidden guards have already guarded the key points, and a dozen of them are already the largest. Mobilized to a maximum.

It's just that Cheng Wangshu didn't intend to do anything, and Wen Liang and others couldn't act rashly, so the two sides confronted each other like this.

Even though Wen Gu didn't understand martial arts, he could understand his posture.When she was reading a lot of books in Tongcheng, she also heard some deeds of Nan Yijian Cheng Wangshu in "North and South Divide a Sword", and she knew it now.

Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, he said, "Are you from Lianzhou?"

Cheng Wangshu turned his back to her, and heard that the little lady was in such a situation, without any panic in her tone, he praised in his heart, but he simply replied: "Exactly."

Wen Gu expected this, so he asked again: "Did you come with Xu Zhongyan?"

Without hesitation, Cheng Wangshu replied, "Exactly."

Everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with Wen Gu's questioning. Only Wen Liang knew that the eldest lady acted as if she never cared about her own life or death, or she went to the danger with a plan in mind, but Wen Liang was quite nervous every time.

Seeing the eldest lady talking to him at this time, Wen Liang became even more vigilant.

But Wen Gu just paused for a moment, and then said something important: "Tang Mingyi is dead."

Everyone present knew about this, only Cheng Wangshu didn't know, Nan Yijian was really taken aback when he heard this.Seeing his expression, Wen Liang knew that there was a flaw, so he took advantage of the situation and stormed to attack Cheng Wangshu.

Cheng Wangshu lost the opportunity, so he couldn't deal with it hastily, and finally drew his sword, temporarily resisted, and at the same time retreated to the side.

Wen Liang's blow was not intended to kill him, it was just to force Cheng Wangshu a little further away from Wen Gu, and the rest of the hidden guards seized the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to form an formation, and the two of them blocked Cheng Wangshu's left and right retreats.

Nan Yijian wanted to ask more questions, but Wen Liang and others pressed him on every step of the way. He couldn't get distracted, so he had no choice but to keep silent and deal with it with all his strength.

At this time, the other hidden guards in the middle of the house were finally dispatched everywhere, and one of them happened to be able to see Zhou Tong.

"Come and help me lift the ladder!" Zhou Tong hurriedly shouted to him when he saw the hidden guard looking towards him.

But how could the hidden guard dare to leave easily, but he couldn't turn a blind eye to the words of the young Dutong of the Liangzhou army, so he had to find other ways.

Zhou Tong saw that the attack from below was getting more and more urgent, and he thought of jumping directly, but if he jumped like this, if something went wrong and he hurt his leg, he couldn't help at this time, maybe later. It will also delay the layout of the city defense.So he had no choice but to give up and kept urging the hidden guard to find a solution.

In the courtyard, Cheng Wangshu blocked the attacks of the hidden guards for a few rounds, but also felt that he might not be able to win completely.

This trip, Cheng Wangshu originally came to inquire about Tang Mingyi's news, he thought it would take some trouble, but he didn't want to get the result easily at this time.

That being the case, they had no intention of fighting again, so taking advantage of Wen Liang and his group's pause in their offensive, they found an opening, turned over and stepped on a short stone pier on one side, climbed up to the roof on the other side, and then left in a hurry. go.

Just before leaving, he turned his head and took a deep look at Wen Gu.

Wen Liang deliberately arranged a loophole, just to lure him away from the eldest lady. Since he was fooled, Wen Liang would not let him go easily, so he also climbed up and chased after him, and the rest of the hidden guards naturally followed. In the blink of an eye, Curie never left.

When this incident happened, the hidden guard urged by Zhou Tong finally called a bold servant, and risked putting the ladder away for Zhou Tong.

At this moment, Zhou Tong had just climbed down the ladder when he saw the last hidden guard chasing him to the roof again.

Zhou Tong glanced at Wen Gu first, and saw that she was fine.Then he looked at the roofs around him, and then he looked at the ladder he came down from again, and sighed heavily. He was about to move the ladder and go up to another roof to chase after it, but he slapped his forehead after taking two steps and dropped the ladder. As soon as he lost it, he simply walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Zhou Dutong." Seeing him swaying back and forth in the yard, Wen Gu stopped him loudly.

"Miss, what are your orders?" Zhou Tong replied out of breath. Although he didn't do anything in this confrontation, he was more tired than anyone else present.

"Cheng Wangshu will hand it over to Uncle Wen. You go to Jin Wan and ask her to lead the policemen to readjust the city's defenses in the name of catching the assassins in the city. We didn't have a proper reason before. Since Cheng Wangshu came here , you can’t ask him to come in vain.”

"Okay!" Zhou Tong responded.

Wen Gu told him again that after notifying Jin Wan, he would go back to the city defense directly, and add more people to guard the granary, arsenal and other places.

"It seems that Wang Shu just responded that Xu Zhongyan may not be the only one of their trip. There are three of them, besides him and Xu Zhongyan, there is another person. We don't know where they are, let alone what specific purpose they have. You have already entered the city, just be careful."

After the eldest lady's explanation, Zhou Tong also understood what he was going to do. Although he still didn't understand how the eldest lady came to these inferences, he just obeyed the order and left.

Also not understanding is Zhixia who has been listening. After Zhou Tong left, Zhixia said: "Miss, why did you just tell Cheng Wangshu that Tang Mingyi is dead? They are all members of the Southern Chu court. Such a big change, don't we need to shy away from it?"

Wen Gu's heart was not completely clear at this time. After Cheng Wangshu reported her name just now, she kept thinking about a question, and she told him the truth to see the follow-up reaction.

Now that I asked Zhixia through Zhixia, I just happened to share with her and analyze it carefully.

"I just thought that if Cheng Wangshu came to Tongcheng at this time, he could only come with Xu Zhongyan. But it is very unreasonable for the two of them to go together."
