Yi Song

Chapter 44 Everyone is guessing what Liu Erlang is thinking
  Wang Muwen thought hard, but he was not sure where Liu Erlang would sneak in.

Because it is possible for him to enter from anywhere.

"Report! There is movement at the north gate."

"What's going on?" Wang Muwen asked quickly.

"Two villagers were driving an ox cart, carrying loads of firewood, and passed by the Taiping Gate. For some reason, the oxen got frightened and rushed towards the Taiping Gate. Four or five of the guards who were guarding the imperial guards were overturned and refused to do so. The Mamulu was chipped in two or three places and almost hit the Taiping Gate."

"What about people?"

"When those two villagers saw that something was wrong, they jumped out of the car and ran away. They got into the crowd and disappeared. The people from Longwei camp wanted to search carefully, but they were scolded back by the people of Bianjing who were watching. "

Several diners looked at each other and quickly said, "This is a clumsy way to disturb the enemy!"

"Yes, this Liu Erlang is not worthy of his name!"

"You dare to make an enemy of the Yamen with such a plan. How arrogant."

Cai Tiao suddenly said: "What do you think will happen if the car is filled with flammable objects, lit and then rushed straight to the Taiping Gate?"

Everyone imagined that scene in their minds and couldn't help but shudder.

Wang Muwen suddenly stirred and blurted out: "Yameni, if those rounds of arrows in the southwest corner just now were made with rockets."

Cai Wei's hand that was about to put the tea cup was fixed in the air, his expression extremely ugly.

The diners looked at each other and said quickly: "Liu Erlang missed the plan and is already at a disadvantage."

"If Ci doesn't control the army, Liu Erlang is still far behind the Yamen."

"Bang!" Cai Chi slammed the teacup on the table, raised his head and looked at the diners coldly, "Liu Erlang burned us to death in this school performance building, and he didn't even blink. No. If he dared to use rockets, someone stopped him."

The diners were about to speak, but Cai Ji spoke again, "Quan Weng, please invite some gentlemen to have tea in the side hall."

"Yes."

After the diners left obediently, Cai Ji turned to face the majestic man who had been standing beside him silently, "Xie San, you go to the Maimai Tower and take a look, and act accordingly."

"Yes."

Only two confidants, Cai Ji, Wang Muwen and Cai Fu, were left in the room.

"Yameni, may I ask who stopped Liu Erlang?"

Cai Ji suddenly raised his head, his eyes fierce. Wang Muwen suddenly realized that he had made a mistake and quickly lowered his head.

"Mu Wen, now there are situations in the west and north. Now only the east and south are left. Do you think Liu Erlang will come once in each direction?" Cai Ji's face suddenly changed, he was amiable, and his tone was very soft.

Wang Muwen thought for a while and replied hesitantly: "Disturbing the enemy once in each direction will not have any effect except alarming us. Is it necessary for Liu Erlang to do this?"

Cai Chi stood up suddenly, walked to the window, looked at Yujin Garden with his hands behind his back, and murmured: "Yes, what exactly does Liu Erlang want to do?"

"Report!"

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the gift Cai Ji wanted was finally delivered.

"Say it!"

"In the Yamen, there were three or four gangsters at the South Gate. They threw a few firecrackers at the Imperial Guards guarding the gate, and then fled. The South Gate Imperial Guards were just frightened, and there were no casualties."

"In the yamen, a boat came from the southeast Shuijiao Gate. It was said that the gardener had asked him to fish out lotus leaves and dead leaves from the pool inside. The guard guarding the gate said that even if there were people from Kaifeng Mansion, they would not open the door today.

After a while of quarreling, the boat cursed and left on its own. "

After Cai Wei patiently listened, he suddenly walked out of the room, walked to the corridor, pointed to the northeast corner and said, "Mu Wen, there are enemies everywhere, but only the elephant breeding station in the northeast corner is silent. Is that possible?"

Wang Muwen followed him out and said respectfully: "Yamen, if this is the case, it is tantamount to announcing to us that Liu Erlang is going to sneak into the elephant breeding center. How dare he be so arrogant?"

"Arrogant? Liu Erlang never knows what arrogance means!" Cai Wei was also a little confused about Liu Guozhang's tactics, "Send the order and pay close attention to the movements of the elephant breeding center!"

"Yes."

Cai Ji held on to the handrail in the corridor, leaned forward, and tried to look northeast.

There were many houses and layers of shade, and it was difficult to see what was going on inside. Only hundreds of people were seen blocking the entrance and exit, each holding a weapon and waiting in full formation.   Messages came up in a stream of water.

"In the yamen, the people at the elephant sanctuary said they were about to distribute food to the birds and animals."

"Distributing food?"

"Yes, the animals in the elephant sanctuary are only fed once a day at noon."

Cai Chi's eyes flashed and he asked, "So the animals in the elephant sanctuary have been hungry all day and night?"

"should be."

"In the yamen, the tigers and wolves were roaring in the elephant sanctuary, and the animals were extremely restless. All the elephant owners ran out, saying that someone had sneaked into the elephant sanctuary, disturbing the beasts, and the elephant owners fled one after another."

Wang Muwen asked in shock: "In the Yamen, Liu Erlang really sneaked into the elephant breeding station?"

"Immediately transfer two teams of archers from the Wuyou Gang from the southeast, one team each from the Hand Swordsman and the enemy-breaking team. Send one hundred Wuyou Gang members from the northwest." Cai Chi made a decision immediately.

"Yes."

After giving the order, Cai Chi walked anxiously up and down the corridor.

"Mu Wen, I always feel that something is wrong. There might be a scam at the elephant breeding center!"

"Ya Nei, as you said, Lieutenant Gao strictly ordered that no one from the three societies is allowed to step into Yujin Garden. That Liu Erlang only has two people, and he dares to divide his troops. That must be too courageous."

"Yeah, I'm also confused. Liu Erlang's behavior is completely different from his past behavior, and it's a bit strange."

"In the Yamen, Liu Erlang behaves like an antelope hanging its horns, making people unpredictable."

"Well, it's not that simple." Cai Ji shook his head with a heavy expression.

In the Daozang Pavilion of Yingzhen Palace, Master Li was also puzzled. She looked at Murong Shisan and asked.

"Thirteen, what does Liu Erlang want to do? By acting like this, he has made it clear to Cai Yanei that he will infiltrate from the elephant sanctuary in the northeast. Well, infiltrating, does this count as infiltrating? It's beating gongs and drums, swaggering It’s okay to just walk in.”

Murong Shisan's face was solemn, he frowned and looked at the elephant sanctuary in the distance, and shook his head, "I can't figure out why Liu Erlang did this."

A sound like wind chimes sounded from next door, "Mr. Xiang, what Liu Erlang did seems to be inconsistent with the art of war."

A deep and gentle old man's voice replied: "Palace Master, there is a saying in the art of war, 'Therefore, those who are good at fighting will kill people without killing them. Therefore, the enemy can work hard, be hungry when full, and move when he is safe.' As for being invisible, divine, and silent, it can serve as the commanding officer for the enemy.'

Liu Erlang's move was intended to disturb his opponents and make them tired of dealing with them. "

"Xiang Lao, if it were you, how would you protect yourself?"

"After all, Cai Mansion's fifth yamen has never been on the battlefield, and has never truly understood the difference between reality and reality. The most important thing for him is to remain unchanged in response to all changes. No matter where Liu Erlang comes in, there is only one destination, the wheat harvesting building."

A voice like wind chimes said happily: "Old Xiang, I understand. No matter where Liu Erlang is making trouble at this time, you can ignore it. No matter where he comes in, he is going to the wheat harvesting building.

Wait until you are sure that he has appeared, and then calmly mobilize superior forces to surround him. The Fifth Young Master Cai has now taken notice of the situation and has fallen into disgrace, and has been disrupted by Liu Erlang. "

The old man's voice was filled with joy: "Yes. Just..."

"Just what?"

"There is a huge gap between thinking and doing it. And Cai Wuyanei lost from the beginning."

"Why, Mr. Xiang?"

"If at the beginning, rockets were fired at the southwest corner, oxcarts were attacked at the north gate, and boats were piled at the water corner gate at the southeast, and they were piled with flammable objects, then the outcome was already doomed."

After a moment of silence, the wind chime sounded again, "Liu Erlang is not only short of manpower, but also tied up. It is really unfair to him."

Li Shishi, who had been listening attentively, glanced at Murong Shisan, his eyes unmistakable.

Murong Shisan snorted, "Fairness, people are born unfair. How can there be fairness in this world? If Liu Erlang can still win despite this unfairness, then he will show his true ability."

"Haha, you really have faith in Liu Erlang." Before Master Li could finish speaking, a loud sound suddenly came from Yujin Garden, startling everyone.
