The king behind the empress

Chapter 263 Bluffing Yuan Lianghan

Outside the gate of the Yuan family's ancestral hall, Shi Zhipei was sitting on a recliner, blocking the gate of the ancestral hall alone.

Seeing Shi Zhipei sitting there alone at the gate of the ancestral hall, the aggressive Yuan Lianghan couldn't help but startled for a moment. He glanced around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no ambush, he didn't directly attack Shi Zhipei, but stood at a distance. In the distance, he began to scold Shi Zhipei.

"Shi Zhipei, you killed my nephew and robbed me of food. I don't care about you anymore. I didn't expect you to get worse and take over my Yuan family's ancestral hall. What do you want to do?"

Shi Zhipei was not in a hurry to answer, he first glanced at the people brought behind Yuan Lianghan, besides the hundreds of good and bad retainers, there were thousands of soldiers from the county behind him.

Seeing those soldiers, and when Qi Xiu came just now, he said that the city gate had been taken over by the Yuan family, Shi Zhipei couldn't help shaking his head, it seems that he guessed right, most of these soldiers were indeed in the Yuan family's In control, if you count on Qi Xiu's soldiers, they are definitely not opponents.

Seeing that Yuan Lianghan waited impatiently for his answer, Shi Zhipei said slowly, "Patriarch Yuan, don't worry, first smell the smell in the air and see if you can smell anything."

"smell?"

When Yuan Lianghan came here just now, he smelled a pungent smell, but he was so angry that he didn't care that much at all. Hearing what Shi Zhipei said now, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

After he thought about the taste for a while, an answer instantly jumped into his mind, which caused a look of shock in his eyes, and subconsciously blurted out, "Is it fierce oil???"

Hearing the three words "Menghuoyou", the people brought by Yuan Lianghan took a step back in unison, with deep fear in their eyes.

Fire oil is hard to extinguish after burning, and the most terrifying thing is often used to defend the city. Once the fire oil is poured on it, the flame that the fire oil burns will be like a gangrene. No matter how much that person struggles, the flame will not go out until the person is completely burnt to coke.

That kind of death is really terrible, so everyone's heart trembled a little after hearing the word fierce fire oil.

"That's right, it's fierce oil."

Shi Zhipei looked at those people who retreated, with a look of disdain on his face, he was frightened like this just when he heard the fierce fire oil, and the Dongchangwei inside was almost standing in the fierce fire oil without any fear, the two Compared with each other, the judgment is judged.

Although he had some disdain for these people in his heart, he didn't sneer at them, but said lightly: "Now all of this place is filled with fire oil, just a little spark, and your Yuan's ancestral hall will be reduced to ashes in no time. So Patriarch Yuan, don't act impulsively."

"Put out the torch, put it out quickly!"

Without waiting for Yuan Lianghan to open his mouth, someone immediately behind him commanded to extinguish the torches. When all the torches were extinguished, the light in the courtyard immediately dimmed, but because of the moonlight, there was no need to worry about sight.

Yuan Lianghan took a deep breath, for the sake of fierce oil, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked coldly: "Shi Zhipei, Mr. Shi, you poured fierce oil all over the Yuan family ancestral hall, what is it? What do you want?"

"What do I want to do? Should I ask Patriarch Yuan?"

Shi Zhipei glanced at the soldiers behind Yuan Lianghan, and said with a bit of sternness in his tone: "Are you trying to rebel by privately entangled with the soldiers?"

"Master Shi, don't talk nonsense."

Although Yuan Lianghan had this plan in mind, but with the boy from the Bai family standing in front of him, he was not going to expose it directly, so he directly denied it: "Most of these soldiers are from outside the Yuan family. I heard that the ancestral hall was occupied by thieves. Now, they came here spontaneously to catch the thief, what have they got to do with this old man?"

"On the other hand, Master Shi, the dignified censor of the court, actually occupied my Yuan family's ancestral hall for no reason, and even poured heavy fire oil. How is this behavior different from a thug?"

"Patriarch Yuan is really eloquent. One sentence from the Yuan family has cleared himself of his crimes. This officer really admires him."

Shi Zhipei shook his head. With his eloquence, if he continued to speak, he would definitely be able to silence Yuan Lianghan, but now he somehow felt that Mo Zizi's unreasonable behavior style was very relieved, so he didn't bother I have made a false promise with Yuan Lianghan.

He looked at Yuan Lianghan, and said straight to the point: "I am too lazy to argue with you, so let's just say it straight."

"You let Qi Xiu and the others go out of the city. After the victory is decided outside the city, I will withdraw from your Yuan's ancestral hall."

Hearing what Shi Zhipei said, Yuan Lianghan couldn't help being shocked. Shi Zhipei had been trapped in the city for a long time and had no communication with the outside world at all, but judging by his appearance, he seemed to know everything well.

Yuan Lianghan was in doubt, he was not sure if Shi Zhipei was cheating him, so he tentatively said: "What does Mr. Shi mean by this? I don't understand. What does Mr. Qi have to do with me if they can't leave the city?" relation?"

"And Master Shi said that the winner will be decided outside the city, but are you talking about the rebels outside?"

"At this point, Patriarch Yuan should stop pretending to be confused, right?"

Shi Zhipei heard the tentative meaning in Yuan Lianghan's words, and with a slight movement in his heart, he immediately pretended to know everything clearly, and said lightly: "The Habayashi army will arrive tomorrow, those hidden ones The forces should also take action tomorrow, right?"

"The imperial court did not hesitate to use us as bait just to catch these people. Don't you think that the imperial court knows nothing?"

Speaking of this, Shi Zhipei looked up at Yuan Lianghan, and said with a serious expression: "The imperial court has long known of their existence, but they have not been able to grasp their whereabouts, so they will set a trap here, in order to catch them all."

"And the reason why I let Qi Xiu out of the city is to make this battle safe, and let them gain some military exploits by the way."

"It's Patriarch Yuan, are you sure you want to go your own way and follow the rebels all the way to darkness?"

Shi Zhipei's words immediately bluffed Yuan Lianghan. In terms of scheming people, although Yuan Lianghan is not top-notch, he is not too bad, so he can't be so fooled.

The only problem now is that although he is good at people, he doesn't understand military strategy. If Bai Changqiu was here, he would know that Shi Zhipei was deceiving him without using his brain, because he was the one who was planning to besiege the county. Conspiracy, what he did was not particularly secretive, so it was naturally normal to be guessed.

But Yuan Lianghan didn't know, he was obsessed with the authorities, and Shi Zhipei, a person who should know nothing, knew everything like the back of his hand, which immediately made him even more suspicious, suspecting that this was a trap set by the court.

Moreover, at this time, the Yuan family hadn't started any incidents, and apart from secretly providing Bai Changqiu with some food and shelter, he hadn't done anything else, and he thought he did these things very secretly, even if someone guessed There will be no evidence, and nothing can be done about his Yuan family.

Therefore, if he withdraws and withdraws at this point, although his Yuan family will receive some criticism, it will not be the disaster of extermination.

But if Shi Zhipei was killed, it would be tantamount to an open rebellion. If the Yulin Army wins tomorrow, then the disaster of Yuan's family's destruction is in sight.

Thinking of this kind of consequences, Yuan Lianghan suddenly hesitated.
