Chapter 122
Li Yu sneezed while driving away the mosquitoes, and whispered to Zhao Yun: "Qin Er and the others have found the location of the granary in the city?"

Zhao Yun's expression changed, he looked around and saw no one around, and then he said cautiously: "My Lord, with the address given by General Peng, Qin Er and the others have already found out the location of the granary."

Li Yu's heart was shocked when he heard the words, so he smiled and said: "That's great, as long as the granary is burned tonight, let's see how Zhao Tuo still hides in the city."

"Master Hou, there are too many generals guarding Zhao Tuo during the day, and it seems that his own strength is not weak, and his subordinates are not sure of a successful blow, so..."

Li Yu patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, we don't do things that we're not sure of, it's not beautiful to scare the snake away."

Zhao Yun reached out and took out a bran cake from his bosom and handed it to Li Yu. Li Yu couldn't help sighing, and laughed at himself, "I'm crazy too, I'm nothing to pretend to be a savior..."

Although the taste of bran cake is not very good, and it is easy to choke people, Li Yu would definitely not eat it in normal times.

But this time was not that time, Li Yu had been traveling with the army for a day, and now he was already hungry, so he didn't care so much about stuttering.

Taking a bite of the bran cake in his hand, Li Yu burst into tears with the choking smell in his throat, and then coughed a few times before he managed to catch his breath.

Then he looked at the bran cake in his hand and asked, "By the way, when are Qin Er and the others going to do it?"

"Yin time."

Li Yu couldn't help but nodded.

Yin time, that is, four o'clock in the morning, is the time when the body's biological clock is the most sleepy.

Qin Er and the others chose this time to burn the granary, and the defenders in the city were indeed not easy to detect.

If it goes well, it's okay, but if the failure of burning food alarms the defenders, then Zhao Tuo should be suspicious.

Seeing that everything is ready, Li Yu thought for a while, and then said: "Zilong, go and call Peng Xi, and just say that the Marquis has something to ask for advice."

In a short while, Zhao Yun left and returned, with Peng Xi following behind him.

Peng Xi then cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Jun, do you have something to tell your subordinates?"

Li Yu smiled and said: "In General Peng's house, General Peng does not need to be formal."

Although Li Yu spoke politely, Peng Xi didn't dare to be rude, he quickly responded: "The last general dare not."

Seeing that Peng Xi suddenly became a lot more reserved, Li Yu was curious, but thought that he had something to ask, so he said, "I think Zhao Tuo invited you to a meeting just now, so did General Peng see some strange faces at the meeting?"

Peng Xi was taken aback when he heard the words, and said casually: "Zhao Tuo called ten generals from the Lingnan Army to participate in the discussion, but his subordinates did not see any other people present."

Li Yu originally wanted to ask Peng Xi if the old faces of the Xiang family had appeared in the Sheriff's Mansion.

But obviously, since Peng Xi didn't see the stranger's face, Xiang Yu was naturally not in the city.

Li Yu couldn't help feeling a little regretful, and sighed: "It's a pity, if the overlord of Chu is in Hainan City, he can kill two birds with one stone and leave no legacy."

But it was because Xiang Yu escaped from the battle of Lujiang, Li Yu always felt that Xiang Yu was not dead, and it seemed that the civil strife in Daqin would be endless.

From the frequent changes of the Xiongnu, to the rebellion of the Baiyue tribe, to the current Lingnan army's rebellion, it happened almost at the same time.

This is more or less unusual, and even makes Li Yu feel that someone among them should be trying their best to lobby all parties to join the anti-Qin team.

It's a pity that these are just Li Yu's personal feelings, and they don't actually point to the characters.

Although Peng Xi didn't know who the Overlord of Chu was, he could still read some information from Li Yu's expression.

This man named Overlord of Chu must be a formidable character, otherwise he wouldn't make Jun Hou feel so sorry.

……

Waiting for the moon and stars to thin out, the city newspaper left.

More than a dozen black shadows sprang out from Peng Xi's mansion, and then disappeared into the night.

By the time the group of black shadows reappeared, they had already arrived under the eaves in the southwest corner of the city.

Then the leader said: "Qin San, Qin Si, you go to find out the number of defenders. If there is a chance, then let's go together..."

Speaking of this, Qin Er raised his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Waiting for Qin San and Qin Si to turn around and leave, only then did they hear "Little Twenty" jokingly say: "Qin Yi is not here today, but I let my second son be the boss for once, I envy you."

Qin Er's face changed when he heard the words. What annoys him the most is that these brothers now call him the second child.

But there is nothing they can do about it. Now that they are out on a mission, they can teach this group of guys, big or small, a righteous lesson.

"Little Twenty, you talk a lot of nonsense on weekdays, and you can't miss the task tonight, so you better shut up."

Qin Ershi saw Qin Er's serious face, but he stopped talking. After all, Lord Hou had repeatedly told him that there was no failure in the mission tonight.

So even if Qin Er likes to bicker on weekdays, he can only obediently listen to Qin Er's words and shut up at this moment.

Seeing this, Qin Er immediately felt relieved, and said to himself: Qin Yi, Qin Yi, it would be great if you weren't here in the future.

……

The night is dark and the wind is high.

Qin Er and his team took turns to check on the security situation of the granary, while the rest hid in the corner and closed their eyes to doze off.

Fortunately, the watchman who reported the watch made his fourth trip down the street.

Only then did Qin Er open his eyes and said, "Let's do it."

Qin Ershi couldn't help being a little excited when he heard the words: "Hehe, we have been carrying this kerosene that Hou Ye found someone for a long time, and today we have found a chance to try the effect."

"You kid should be careful, this thing can't be extinguished even if it gets on the clothes with water. Don't burn yourself instead of the granary."

"Second brother is right, little twenty, you talk a lot of careless nonsense on weekdays, so be careful later."

"Why don't you take care of me, Little Twenty, and let me burn the granary?"

Everyone looked at Qin Er Er's face full of excitement, and poured cold water on his mouth while scolding.

As soon as he heard that someone wanted to change tasks with him, Qin Ershi's expression changed immediately, and he quickly hid the bamboo tube in his hand behind his back.

"Seventh brother, you should always be honest and watch over us."

When Qin Qi was called an old man by Little Twenty, he grinned angrily, raised his leg and kicked Qin Twenty's ass.

"Hurry up and go burn the warehouse."

……

when~when~when~
The night sky over Hainan County was suddenly illuminated by a flash of fire, and the siren sounded loudly.

"The granary is on fire, put out the fire quickly."

"Enemy attack!"

"A spy has sneaked into the city! Go and report to Zhao Shuai."

For a moment, figures moved around where the granary was located, and shouts shook the sky.

In the Sheriff's Mansion, Zhao Tuo's door was pushed open, and Zhao Tuo sat up from the bed in a frightened state.

"Shuai Zhao, the city is on fire."

Zhao Tuo's eyes were sleepy, and he said angrily, "If there is a fire, go out and put it out. It's not proper to be in a panic."

If the granary catches fire, all the blame for dereliction of duty will fall on Lin Ling.

Lin Ling was also sweating profusely during this time, so he hesitated and said: "Zhao, Zhao Shuai...the place where the fire broke out is the granary..."

"what?"

Hearing that the granary was on fire, Zhao Tuo woke up immediately, and said in shock.

Zhao Tuo didn't even have time to put on his boots, so he rushed to the door with a few strides and looked up to the west of the city.

The sky full of red light came into view, Zhao Tuo immediately sat down on the ground as if he had lost his soul.

it's over...
