Nine secrets to cover the sky

Chapter 113
That afternoon, hundreds of ministers, wealthy businessmen, and imperial relatives took all the valuables they could take away and fled with the emperor to Jingjing, the easternmost city of the Jin Kingdom.

Although the news of this incident was strictly sealed, how could such a big movement escape the eyes of the people and refugees in the city?

Almost in one afternoon, the news about the emperor fleeing with his officials, the imperial city was not safe, and the country was about to perish spread all over the city, making everyone in the city even more nervous.Fortunately, there is still an army in the city, and at the last moment, it began to maintain law and order, or it can be said to be suppressed by force.Therefore, the people in the city, who are capable, quickly packed up their things and fled the city, while those who were not capable could only be like those ministers who refused to escape, leaving the desperate ones waiting to die.Fortunately, the situation did not completely get out of control at the last moment.

At the same time, Zhao Zidan led more than 20 civil and military officials, and walked heavily through the half-chaotic and half-desperate streets to Fangfu.

Mrs. Liu heard that refugees entered the city a few days ago, and several of them died of starvation and illness at the gate of her house. There are people, and even the places where the rain is sheltered in each courtyard are full of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. All the maids and old ladies in the mansion have taken action, cooking porridge for porridge, and delivering medicine, making Fang Mansion like a city. One of the largest shelters.

"When it's hard to protect yourself, there are not many people who can do this." Zhao Zidan said with a complicated expression when he saw this.

More than 20 civil and military officials remained silent.

Seeing that the servant girls are busy helping the refugees, Zhao Zidan is not ashamed to ask them to spare time for their compatriots, so the group carefully stepped over the refugees lying in disorder, amidst the deliberately suppressed coughing and crying, After walking a long distance for more than 20 minutes, they walked to the front of the living room and saw Fang Jie, Fang Yuanshan, and Mrs. Liu who were sitting inside.

Fang Jie was the first to see the person coming, he was a little surprised and said: "Brother Zhao?" Then he got up to meet him.

"Brother Fang." Zhao Zidan, who has always been reticent, smiled at Fang Jie at this moment, and then brought a group of people in, and saluted Fang Yuanshan and Liu respectively: "Uncle Fang, Auntie."

Fang Yuanshan and Liu Shi nodded, then Fang Yuanshan looked at Zhao Zidan and the group behind him, frowned slightly, but also said: "Sit down."

So Zhao Zidan and his party sat down.

Fang Yuanshan recognized the identities of the group of people behind Zhao Zidan, and apparently also thought of Zhao Zidan's purpose, but he didn't express anything.

But Fang Jie didn't recognize those people, and naturally he didn't know why these people came to visit, so he looked at Zhao Zidan and said, "Brother Zhao, you are..."

Zhao Zidan raised his head and asked instead: "Brother Fang, do you know the news from outside?"

Fang nodded.

"Then what is Brother Fang's plan?" Zhao Zidan asked immediately.

Fang Jie said: "Nowadays there is chaos outside, and the world is not good. In terms of safety, it is better to stay at home. My parents and I think so. So before Brother Zhao came, our family was discussing how to stay in the imperial city. Do your part and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

Zhao Zidan looked at Fang Yuanshan and Mrs. Liu when he heard the words, and seeing the two seniors nodding, he turned his head and asked, "Brother Fang means that he wants to contribute?"

Fang Jie smiled wryly: "Wu Nu is a female class, and now she is running around outside. I am a gentleman, and I am still sitting at home when the soldiers are approaching the city. Where do I put my face?"

Zhao Zidan sighed and said: "To be honest, my father has already gone to Jingyang with the emperor. Before leaving, he left me behind and let me live with the imperial city and die with the imperial city." Speaking of this He raised his head, looked at Fang Jie and said, "And I actually think so."

Fang Jie was not surprised, but smiled and said: "That is to say, when Lord Zhan rebelled last time, I fought side by side with you inside and outside. Now, we have to share weal and woe and comfort together again?"

"Not only that." Zhao Zidan said, took out a letter, handed it to Fang Jie, and said with a complicated expression: "The emperor ordered Brother Fang to be the city guard and general of the imperial city, and take full power to take over the imperial city from now on. If Brother Fang doesn't mind If so, I would like to be a lieutenant general, to share honor and disgrace, to live and die together with Brother Fang."

Fang Jie was taken aback when he heard the words, and then remembered the content of Wu Nu's voice transmission to him.

And Zhao Zidan immediately said: "Now, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are fleeing abroad, waiting to die, leaving Brother Fang, who is neither a civil official nor a military commander, to serve as the city guard and general. Brother Fang will become the king of subjugation afterward." It's not fair to Brother Fang to leave him with eternal infamy, so I can completely understand Brother Fang, and I can also advise Brother Fang not to accept it, because even so, no one will blame Brother Fang, after all, the imperial city is in all In the eyes of people, it will fall no matter what.”

Fang Jie smiled when he heard the words, then looked at Fang Yuanshan, and said, "Old shopkeeper, what do you think?"

"Ask me what I'm doing. I told you a month ago. Now that you're in charge, you can do whatever you like." Fang Yuanshan turned his head to one side and said, but said this with a smile.

So Fang Jie knew what the hands-off shopkeeper meant, to let him do whatever he wanted, so he looked at Mrs. Liu again.

Liu didn't say anything, but she always had a desire in her heart for her son to be a hero. Even if she couldn't defend the imperial city and leave a bad reputation, she still felt that her son had protected the people. He was an out-and-out man and a great hero. Kind of.So now, facing her son's eyes asking for instructions, it was rare for her to be righteous, showing a smile, and giving encouragement all over her face, as if saying "Come on".

Fang Jie understood, smiled at Mrs. Liu, then turned his head, and said to Zhao Zidan: "To be honest, I always thought that if I had more people in my hand, I would have more ability to do things. Now the emperor is gone, but he I have been left with tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of refugees. These people can be used and can accomplish great things. And now my parents don’t object, so of course I choose to accept it.” After finishing speaking, he took over power of attorney.

Zhao Zidan was taken aback when he saw this, and then he led more than 20 mighty officials to kneel down on one knee respectfully. The military commander said: "General!"

Fang Jie stood up slowly, glanced at the letter of appointment, put it on the table without looking at it carefully, and said to everyone: "With me and you, the imperial city will never fall!"

Zhao Zidan and the twenty civil and military officials raised their heads in shock, and they were a little stunned for a moment when they saw the confidence blooming from all over their bodies.

At the same time, thirty miles outside the city, three "Tiangang"-level ballistas made by the Tongtian Empire were lined up at the imperial city. On the left and right stood a fist-sized sacred mineral essence. A tall middle-aged man, behind him are twenty aura-level warriors.

Suddenly, the tall middle-aged man gave an order.

The person holding the ore essence put Kuangjin into the ballista, only to hear the scream of "咻咻", and the three-valent ballista immediately shot out shells full of runes.

And the twenty aura-level fighters of the fighting style skyrocketed, becoming ten-meter-tall giants, and quickly approaching at the same time, as if they had mastered some kind of secret technique, they were twisted together like water droplets, turning into three hundreds. Mi Gao's giant then leaped forward violently.

Immediately, the three cannonballs full of runes became bigger and bigger during the flight and fell down to the size of a room. The shield of the imperial city lit up in an instant, and three large craters were smashed out. The entire imperial city suddenly There was a loud bang, like an earthquake of magnitude [-]. Countless people lying on the bed were bounced to the ground, and several houses collapsed.

In the Fang mansion, the earth shook and the earth shook instantly. Fang Jie quickly used the wind galloping technique, hugged Fang Yuanshan and Liu Shi from left and right, and floated in the space, while Zhao Zidan and others used their magical powers to stabilize their bodies. There were only a few officials with weaker strength He fell to the ground, but the refugees and maids outside were not so lucky, they fell into a ball for a while, exclamations and screams came and went, and the entire imperial city outside the mansion was in chaos.

Seeing this, Fang Jie frowned, Zhao Zidan and the others also had solemn expressions.

Finally, the shaking gradually subsided, and the chaos in the city turned into a commotion.

Fang Jie put down his parents, retracted the wind galloping technique, and then a group of people walked out of the door and looked up, only to see that the hood of the moat had been opened, but three hundred-meter-tall giants stood outside the imperial city like gods, holding giant The mace, like the beating of a mountain, caused the entire imperial city to resound with a low and continuous sound of "Boom... Boom... Boom...", accompanied by vibrations that made people's feet numb.

"The siege has begun!" Fang Jie said, looking at the three hundred-meter giants.

The rest of the people also frowned.

Before the ballista fired the next time, the three hundred-meter giants hammered continuously, destroying the shield of the city again and again.

Fang Jie turned around abruptly, and said to Zhao Zidan, "How many troops do we have now?"

"Fifty thousand in total."

"Where's the food?"

"Enough to feed 10 people in the city for ten days."

Fang node nodded: "This is enough."

Zhao Zidan and others were naturally puzzled.

And Fang Jie didn't say any more, and led a group of people out of the yard, but the target was not the city wall where the siege could be seen clearly, but the Dongying where Xia Chaochen was, full of wounded.

At the same time, ten miles outside the city, a blanket-like flying treasure made of gold and jade, with a length of more than ten meters and a width of more than ten meters, floated in the air. At each of the four corners stood a middle-aged man with the strength of the three realms of heaven and man, guarding it together. Looking at the thin young man sitting on the soft couch made of gold in the middle.

Seeing that the second round of ballista attack started, the three hundred-meter giants were constantly destroying the large defensive formation. Apart from artillery fire and vibrations, there was screaming and crying in the imperial city. The thin young man clapped his hands like a child and danced haha Laughing, as if playing a game, shouted down: "Don't stop, don't stop, the more the ballistas are denser, the other giant beasts should be released, hurry up and start."

Hearing this, the four celestial and human masters are not surprised at all. At this time, they only pay attention to their surroundings, while the middle-aged man who is giving orders below kneels down and kowtows to accept the order with great respect, and then gives an order to the rear, pressing down on the giant The soldiers of the beast immediately started to move.
