Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 177 Authentic
There is war in the city, and no one in the city will be spared.

When the first fire broke out, Rui Jiang took the lead in mourning for the dead.

All entertainment was canceled in the palace.In order to make up for the loss, Rui Jiang reduced the supply in the palace.

In fact, there is nothing to reduce.

Rui Jiang is usually quite simple, and she has never been extravagant and wasted in her life.

Cui Panpan's mother and son are both guests and hostages.There is no shortage of three meals a day, but it is by no means how good the food is.

The only wasteful ones are Ji Mo and Hua Jiang.

The couple originally devoted themselves to making people, and kept their ears to the outside world.

But the fire that night was too bright, standing in the palace could see the red sky, and even feel the scorching flames.

The royal palace is also to the north, very close to the burned warehouse.Occasionally, arrows would fall near the palace.

Ji Mo seemed to be frightened, and he no longer wanted to make people.Under Hua Jiang's instigation, he occasionally went to visit Rui Jiang to inquire about the news of the war.

Rui Jiang only thought that Ji Mo was still a child, and always used this as an excuse to answer Ji Mo's inquiries.

At first, Ji Mo just got used to it, but the more times he did it, the more resentment he would inevitably feel.

Hua Jiang gave him some tricks.Ji Mo took a detour, started with the maid beside Rui Jiang, and got a lot of news.

Ji Mo would tell Hua Jiang the news every time.

"The queen mother doesn't plan to find reinforcements? With the power of Rui Guo alone, how can she resist the Qin army?"

"The previous victory at Guxia Ridge shows that the Qin army is not as powerful as the legend says."

"Guxia Ridge is just Rui Guo taking the lead, how can it be compared with the siege battle?"

"The queen mother uses defense instead of attack, and waits for work with ease. The Qin army has been besieging the city for more than half a month, and they can only make small disturbances to harass it. It can be seen that they have no good strategy for attacking the city."

"The Qin army surrounded and did not retreat, I am afraid they are waiting for an opportunity."

As expected, Hua Jiang was born in the Hua family of the Song Dynasty. He has been influenced by the elders in his family since he was a child, and he knows a little bit about the art of war.

No matter what Ji Mo and Hua Jiang thought, the battle was still going on.

Qin Jun was still harassing the city.Only the time is not limited to night, and arrows will also be shot into the city during the day.

The city dare not be careless.

The number of patrols is increased at night, and the water volume in the tank is checked every day.

Every time the Qin army took action during the day, the city had to stand ready.

Rui Jiang saw that the Qin army was using fatigue tactics, so he divided the soldiers guarding the city wall into groups and let the soldiers take turns to rest.The guards on the city walls and the patrols in the city will also be rotated to prevent the people on the city walls from being too nervous.

Several sporadic fires broke out in the city, but they did not cause large-scale fires.It is also because there is no such concentrated place as the granary.

Speaking of which, Rui Jiang has recently been investigating collaborators and traitors in private.

The granary was built after the city was closed, how could it be known by the Qin army outside the city?Unless there is something inside the city, the outside should be notified.

Who should be inside?How did they deliver the message?

Rui Jiang still hasn't figured it out.And if she doesn't figure out these two problems for a day, she will have trouble sleeping and eating.

Lin Xiaoxiao came to visit Rui Qi and Rui Ba, and listened to them tell about the situation on the night of the fire and how the city responded afterwards.

Lin Xiaoxiao, like Rui Jiang, also suspected that there was an internal response from the Qin army in the city.

Think about it too.

The Qin army's large-scale attack on Rui is inevitable, and it must have done a lot of work in advance.The placement in the city should be a regular operation.

What Lin Xiaoxiao was curious about was the way the inside should pass the news to the outside.

Cui Panpan's mother and son are still imprisoned in the palace, Lin Xiaoxiao still can't think of a good way to rescue them.

Maybe the way Qin should send news outside the city can give her some inspiration.

So, after Lin Xiaoxiao came back, she went to find Hu Zigui.

Beard returned to Laiqi Mountain.He is responsible for monitoring the situation here and preventing the Kunlun Mountain girl from aiding Rui Du.

"Do you know how Qin Jun should spread the news outside the city?"

"Oh, yes, through the underground passage."

The State of Qin once destroyed the State of Rui, and is very familiar with the capital of the State of Rui.According to the historical records of the Qin State, there are several passages underground in this city.These passages are connected by wells.

Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Do any of these underground passages lead to the palace?"

"I don't know about that. The current royal palace of the Kingdom of Rui was built later, and it is not recorded in the historical records."

Lin Xiaoxiao had a flash of inspiration and remembered a person.

"Han Wu stayed in Xiaguan, or did he come with him?"

"He's still in Xiaguan. Tian Mu won't let him play so early, and probably won't use him until the crucial battle."

"Then I'll look for him, maybe he knows the underground passage of the palace."

"Oh, by the way, you might as well persuade him. He has reached this point, why not take the initiative to surrender to King Qin, or he can gain more trust."

"understood."

Lin Xiaoxiao teleported directly to Aunt Li's door this time.

It was noon at this time, everyone was busy eating, and there was no one on the road.

Lin Xiaoxiao stepped forward and knocked on the door.

It was indeed Han Wu who came to open the door.

"How are you?"

Lin Xiaoxiao raised her hand to stop him, and stretched her head to look at Aunt Li who was coming from behind.

"Ma'am, I'm here again for your follow-up visit."

Aunt Li squinted her eyes at Lin Xiaoxiao: "Who are you?"

"I'm a mountain girl. Last time I treated my aunt's feet, I also left eye drops for you."

The ladle in Aunt Li's hand fell to the ground, and she trotted over to hold Lin Xiaoxiao's hand tightly.

"The mountain girl is here, that's great, the genius doctor Shannu."

Lin Xiaoxiao quickly comforted the excited Aunt Li: "Let's talk inside, are Auntie's eyes better?"

"It's much better, I can see again."

This is why Aunt Li called Lin Xiaoxiao a miracle doctor.Her eyes were able to see again, but still a little blurry.

"That's great, my aunt insists on using it."

Lin Xiaoxiao talked with Aunt Li for a while, and suddenly took out a basket of wild eggs.

Aunt Li was probably too excited to find the problem.

"I'm from the mountains. I brought some mountain eggs over here. Don't be disgusted, ma'am."

"It's good for the mountain girl to come, how can I ask for your mountain eggs."

"Is the aunt cooking? If you don't dislike me, I will have a meal here at noon, and these wild eggs will be used as food money."

After dismissing Aunt Li, Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Wu went to talk under a tree.

Han Wu looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with strange eyes: "Shannu is really a god, Aunt Li's eyes can be cured."

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want to talk nonsense, so she asked straight to the point: "There is a tunnel under Ruidu City, do you know?"

Han Wu's face changed, and then he sighed deeply.

Han Wu didn't know that there was a tunnel under the city of Ruidu before, but he learned about it by chance.

At that time, he was still in Korea, and met a businessman from Qin State at a banquet.The ancestor of the Qin businessman had joined the army, and happened to be involved in Qin's first battle against Rui.

Out of curiosity, Han Wu found an opportunity to have a detailed talk with the businessman, and thus knew that there was a tunnel underground at Ruidu's original site.

The current Ruidu was built on the basis of the original city.
