Anti Qing

Chapter 65 Human Heart
The raging fire affected the hearts of the people in Xi'an.

The patrolling Dashun soldiers from all over the place walked through the streets in a hurry, and a cavalry ordered the soldiers to roar past and flew towards the west of the city.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the smell of burning was wafting.

"The powder magazine is on fire!"

"Hurry up and put out the fire!!"

On the street, the shouts of Dashun soldiers echoed each other.

In the house, the people hid together, and the exquisitely carved window eaves could not completely cover up the fiery red half of the sky.

The old man was holding the child, the husband was holding the wife, the wife was holding the children, everyone was terrified and didn't know what was going on.

Everyone in the entire city of Xi'an was affected by the continuous sound of explosions near the Dingmen Gate of Xi'an.

This troubled world has been around long enough, and they can't afford another change.

Whenever this time comes, unarmed people like them will feel the difficulty of living and recall the beauty of peace.

Regardless of whether the Qing army attacked Xi'an or riots broke out in the city, neither of these poor people could bear the outcome.

Fortunately, the order of the Dashun Army running back and forth on the street was still there, and the flames were huge but there was no chaos, which made the people in the city a little more peaceful.

This at least shows that the Dashun Army is still in control of the situation.

The people below were already busy, but the three most powerful people in Dashun, Li Zicheng, Tian Jianxiu, and Liu Zongmin, never showed up.

Li Zicheng stood on the outer wall of the Qin Palace, staring at the west of the city expressionlessly.

Looking at the flames, Li Zicheng's eyes flickered, but his expression was extremely cold and chilling, as if none of this happened at all.

In the west of the city, Andingmen Urn City.

In order to prevent fires, large water tanks are stored everywhere in Xi'an City, and the water tanks are filled with well water. Especially in the important place of the Shenhang in the west of the city, water tanks can be seen everywhere.

Li Zijing was standing outside the fire scene with Yanling Saber in his hand. Although the place was hot, his heart was icy cold.

Under the scorching flames, Li Zijing's whole body was glowing with flames.

In front of and behind him, people from various departments of the front battalion ran back and forth inside and outside the fire site, carrying water in large tanks, without taking any rest.

Li Zijing's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't figure out how the magic hangar caught fire.

Obviously, people have been patrolling the god hangar uninterruptedly in advance, and they are afraid that something will happen in the past few days, but they did not expect to be bombed in the end.

Is it really my negligence?
Li Zijing's hands were trembling slightly. Looking back at his previous idea of ​​trying to lure a snake out of his hole, he felt it was ridiculous.

Just as he was thinking, Hao Yaoqi rushed out of the magic hangar, his whole body was disheveled, and several holes were burned in the arrow jacket on his body.

He stopped in front of Li Zijing with an ugly expression.

"General Zhi, there is no gunpowder stored in the gunpowder depot. The humble officer led someone to rush in to have a look, and the gunpowder was moved away in advance."

Li Zijing was taken aback when he heard the words, and the dullness in his eyes sobered up for a moment.

"In other words, this fire only burned an empty warehouse?"

"What's with those explosions?"

Hao Yaoqi shook his head one after another, panting heavily.

"I don't know. I only heard it coming from the direction of the God Machine Garage. After I led people to rush in, there was no movement."

"I feel that someone wants to frame the general, and use the fault of being in charge of the god machine library to frame our front battalion?"

Li Zijing walked to the nearest water tank, picked up the wooden barrel to fill it up, and walked into the divine hangar.

"I'll talk about this matter later, the most important thing right now is to put out the fire as soon as possible, and don't let the fire spread to Guancheng!"

Hao Yaoqi was taken aback for a moment, then he also picked up the bucket of water and followed closely.

The God hangar caught fire, and the front battalion was the first to discover it, and it was also the first to mobilize.

That night, the entire front camp was physically and mentally exhausted, no one cared about resting, and everyone's mind was affected by the fire.

Li Zijing led the people through the fire scene.

"General Zhi, they are here."

Li Zijing poured water into the fire scene, and when he heard Hao Yaoqi's words, he turned his head to look, but saw Wu Zhaosheng came with the soldiers of the Qing army, each carrying a bucket.

Wu Zhaosheng averted his eyes slightly, holding a bucket in his hand.

Among the soldiers of the Qing army behind him, there was a man who was being tied up and his mouth was gagged with a rag he found from no one knew where.

It was Dai Zhijun who was kidnapped.

Li Zijing stared slightly, handed the bucket in his hand to a fine rider beside him, and looked at the soldiers in front of him.

The number of soldiers surrendered by the Qing army was not large, not all 4000 people came, but as far as the eye could see, there were probably more than 1000 to [-].

There were more pawns wandering around the camp like headless chickens, or fleeing in all directions.

It's just that the people who followed Wu Zhaosheng had all changed into the arrow clothes that Li Zijing brought them during the day, and they were dressed like ordinary Dashun soldiers.

"what happened?"

Wu Zhaosheng knelt down on one knee and handed a note to Li Zijing with trembling hands.

Li Zijing received it in his hand with some doubts, and only glanced at it, but his eyes froze, and even his breath became heavy.

Sensing the change, Wu Zhaosheng even knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Control the general!"

"Humble job knows, you won't believe anything that humble job says now."

"But please, General Zhi, believe in Beizhi one last time, and let Beizhi lead someone to help you put out the fire!"

Hao Yaoqi had long been displeased with these soldiers, and Li Zijing's expression gradually became gloomy, and he noticed these even more.

The bucket was thrown to the ground, and Hao Yaoqi stepped forward and glared at Wu Zhaosheng.

"This fire, did you set it off?"

The reactions of Wu Zhaosheng and Li Zijing made Hao Yaoqi even more convinced of this, and he was so angry that he drew out the knife with a thud.

"Hao shakes the flag!"

"Get out!"

A low shout came from behind, and Hao Yaoqi stood on the spot in a daze, then turned around, pointing at these soldiers angrily.

"General Zhi, they must have started the fire!"

"This kind of wrong thing, should our brothers in the front camp carry it for them?"

"Tomorrow, when His Majesty learns about this matter, I must blame it on my front battalion. By that time, brothers, I will be even more embarrassed!"

Li Zijing understood the implication of Hao Yaoqi's words, and he was trying to persuade himself to blame these Qing soldiers for all his mistakes.

Now that I have this note in my hand, this is ironclad evidence, and no one will think that it is a problem with the hangar of the former battalion guardian.

Li Zijing only needs a word, and all problems will be pushed to Wu Zhaosheng and Dai Zhijun, the two commanders of the Qing army who surrendered.

Wu Zhaosheng knelt on the ground, trembling all over. The soldiers of the Qing army who came to surrender also looked down at the ground, not daring to say a word.

After a long silence, Li Zijing raised his head and looked directly at Hao Yaoqi.

"Am I still the general of the former battalion?"

Hao Yaoqi was taken aback for a moment, and in an instant he understood Li Zijing's thoughts, and a raging fire flickered in his eyes.

"General, is it worth it?"

Li Zijing didn't answer, but he didn't show any kindness to Wu Zhaosheng any more. He just carried the bucket to the tank and filled it with water.

Then, step by step towards the God Machine Library.

"Let's put out the fire first."

Everyone around looked at the little King Chuang in shock.

Hao Yaoqi stared at Wu Zhaosheng even more tightly, and finally put his saber back, but he was so angry that he kicked the bound Dai Zhijun to the ground.

"Go! Go fight the fire!"

Behind Hao Yaoqi, the soldiers of the former battalion around them also rushed into the fire scene with buckets, without any hesitation.

Wu Zhaosheng stared blankly at Li Zijing's back walking through the fire scene, feeling ashamed and ashamed.

Afterwards, he stared fiercely at Dai Zhijun who had an innocent face.
