Inside the curved wall, which is only thirty steps away from Zhang Xiaojing, Cao Poyan is setting up a pergola in his hand and looking towards the southeast. There were several strands of yellow smoke, which had not been dispersed by the north wind.

It seems that the people of Jing'an Division have already entered Changming Square. Cao Poyan was psychologically prepared for this, and even felt that they had come a little slower than expected. He had informed the warehouse of this situation, and Long Bo said that the work here was almost completed.

The timing is just right.

Next, just follow the plan.

Cao Poyan locked the door of the warehouse from here, and then took out the seized hand crossbow and punched it along the edge of the crossbow groove with his index finger. In fact, he didn't like this kind of weapon. It was both sinister and stingy. In contrast, the grassland riding bow is more appetizing. Unfortunately, his arm was injured, and now he can't pull even with a bow in his hand.

I really want to shoot Huang Yang again on the grassland ... Cao Poyan narrowed his eyes and looked at the old cocoon on his tiger's mouth. These hands, I am afraid there is no chance to hold the bow.

With two sounds, two yellow smokes rose on the other side of the curved wall, indicating that the enemy was close at hand.

He put away his emotions, his eyes turned cold, like a winter wolf.

He is the one who has cut off the top hair and has no right to escape. He is destined to stay here and use his life to buy time for the warehouse. Cao Poyan touched the necklace with his hand, and seemed to want to draw strength from it to usher in the last battle in his life.

The door remained quiet, and a head suddenly appeared on the wall. Cao Poyan raised his hand to shoot a crossbow, and at the same time his body crooked, flashing to the side. The crossbow arrows hit the head, but they made a sound of piercing the grass. At the same time, a crossbow arrow flew over from the other side and happened to be nailed to the ground at Cao Poyan's feet. Zhang Xiaojing's figure jumped into the hospital, and it quickly rolled over and fell in an open area thirty steps away from Cao Poyan.

The two adjusted their postures, facing each other, realizing that they had made the same mistake. They all think that they are few enemies, but they only find out that there is only one person in the other.

"Cao Poyan?" Zhang Xiaojing shouted his fake name. This murderer who made the whole Changan uneasy was finally caught up by Jing Ansi again. "Let's lay down the weapon, there is still a chance to live!"

Cao Poyan didn't answer, threw away the empty crossbow, and drew his dagger from his waist. The control of weapons in Chang'an City is too strict. In addition to a few low-quality short crossbows, the wolf guard has only used daggers to fight. Zhang Xiaojing also quickly threw away the empty crossbow. In front of his enemies, there is no room for reloading, and it is better to enter the white-blade battle directly.

Although the barrier knife in his hand is light and short, it is still much longer than the dagger, and the advantage is here.

Zhang Xiaojing used the swordsmanship of the Datang Army, straight and straight, simple and tough. Normally, under such circumstances, Cao Poyan should stoop to attack, but he wandered up in a hurry. Although this strategy will not be hurt by the enemy for the time being, but also do not want to hurt the opponent.

The two men fought several rounds, and Zhang Xiaojing suddenly realized that the other party was not afraid of death, but was delaying time! He glanced behind Cao Poyan with one eye, and saw a large wooden warehouse with the door closed and an iron lock hanging outside.

"No, he is giving his associates time to retreat!"

Zhang Xiaojing thought about it, and the stab knife in his hand was attacked more violently. Cao Poyan clenched his dagger tightly and fought hard to resist it. Dangdang's mutual sounds flooded the entire courtyard. After all, Zhang Xiaojing was killed in the **** sea of ​​the corpse mountain. He is very experienced. He soon discovered that his opponent's left elbow seemed to be injured, and maintained a strange angle no matter how he moved.

So he consciously increased the blow to the left, this time hitting Cao's weakness. The latter was left and right, and he quickly scored a knife—although it was not a fatal injury, but it was a trade-off, and soon showed signs of defeat in the duel of the master.

At this moment, there were chaotic footsteps outside the courtyard, and the door was slammed open. Standing outside the door is Cui Qi, who personally carried a log hitting the door, like an angry diamond, dozens of brigade soldiers swarmed in from both sides of him.

It seems that Jia XVII passed the news in time.

This sudden change made Cao Poyan's movements slightly stagnate for a moment. Zhang Xiaojing waved his knife and slashed his throat. Cao Poyan reacted extremely quickly, and his body flew backwards, evading. But the colorful stone necklace on his neck suddenly popped up, just in front of the blade.

When the blade passed, the tether was broken, and the small stones on the string fell apart. At this time, Cao Poyan made an unexpected move: He kicked backwards under his feet and leaned forward again, trying to reach for the colored stones. I only heard a "flutter", Zhang Xiaojing's knife tip just stabbed his abdomen.

But Cao Poyan's actions didn't stop. He was still struggling to swing his arms, trying to catch even one. It is a pity that the colored stones have fallen to the ground and are everywhere. He lifted his head and issued a Turkic syllable of unknown significance in his mouth. It seemed to be his name, but no one could understand it.

Cao Poyan was just wearing a barrier knife, and slowly lowered his head.

Zhang Xiaojing was shocked that Cao Poyan could not die, there were too many things waiting for the answer. He didn't dare to pull the knife out. He could only hold the handle with one hand and pull Cao Poyan's shoulder with one hand. He hurriedly hurriedly cried near his ear: "Where is the woman you caught?" Zhang Xiaojing suddenly noticed that a piece of hair was cut off the top of this Wolf Guard's head, revealing his scalp.

The Turkic customs, the person whose hair is cut off, is equivalent to the soul being taken away in advance. It's no wonder that Cao Poyan kept his death aspirations, he was already a dead person.

Zhang Xiaojing shook his shoulder angrily, trying to wake him up, but the body of Wolf Guard collapsed softly.

Beside the two, a large number of brigade soldiers rushed over and went straight to the warehouse.

"Broken!"

A breathless voice rang from the courtyard. Cui Qi has recovered his spirits at this time. In his view, Cao Poyan is just a little babble. It doesn't matter whether he lives or not. The real dish is in the warehouse in front of him.

This warehouse was rebuilt with a brick and kiln warehouse, and the crisp pear wood used in the portal could not be kept at risk. A dozen brigade soldiers rushed past quickly, and the leading soldier pushed the door, and found that the door was latched from the inside and there was a lock on the outside. They didn't even wait for it to hit the door, hit their hands with a knife, and slashed down the door. The sword was violently cast off, first split the lock, and cut the wooden latch of the horizontal frame in the door for more than half, but this hundred steel-making knife was also broken.

Another soldier kicked on the foot, "bang", and kicked the door open. A group of two, with crossbows rushing side by side, a dozen people rushed into the warehouse.

Once inside, the breath is extremely choking, which can smoke a person. The soldiers fixed their minds before observing the movement inside. This is an empty and spacious warehouse with two large urns in the center. The urn is pressed against the stone cover, and a simple stove is built with stones and firewood underneath. The fire is booming. On the urn and stove are black stains, and there are many fine pieces of bamboo chips on the ground.

At the end of the warehouse, there are two other open doors. At the door is an unloading platform four feet above the ground, empty and empty. The soldiers glanced at each other, all suspiciously. The crossbow machine in their hands remained flat and moved forward cautiously.

The hounds tethered outside the yard suddenly shouted for no reason. Zhang Xiaojing shrugged his nose and quickly let go of Cao Poyan's body. He shouted at Cui Qi: "Have you call out! Hurry!" "Zhang Duwei, Mo Ji, I think this time ..."

The voice did not fall, and a sudden explosion came from the warehouse, which was deafening. The room suddenly swelled in an instant, and the blazing flames roared from the gate and the window, and the heat wave suddenly overflowed, just like the alchemy furnace of the old man. The soldiers standing close to the warehouse were caught off guard and were knocked over to the ground. The people in the distance also felt a burning sensation in the face, and they were in distress.

The people in the entire courtyard were blown up by this sudden accident. There were ten fingers, and no one responded. Everyone froze like a wooden figurine and their ears buzzed. Until Cui Qi's almost desperate roar rang over the courtyard, the talents woke up like dreams and went to rescue the wounded.

Cui Qi looked at Zhang Xiaojing anxiously. Before the explosion, he shouted and quickly withdrew his throat. He must know what was going on. Zhang Xiaojing's face seemed to be blown by Mobei Shuofeng, his lips trembling and spit out three words:

"Blazing Thunder."

As early as the Gaozong dynasty, the alchemists of the alchemy found that mixing the black charcoal burned by saltpeter, sulfur, and saponins together can produce a bright flame, which is called a "fierce fire". In the difficult battles in the Western Regions, a craftsman in the Tang army ingeniously prepared the stone resin with a special secret method, stirred it with wood chips and white phosphorus, heated it and poured it into a sealed pottery jar, and made a fierce fire at the seal. Lead a piece of castor oil-soaked dried vine to the outside.

When in use, ignite the dried vine first, and it will lead to a fierce fire until it burns to the mouth of the pot. The fierce fire was extremely hot, and when it came into contact with the modulated stone resin mixed with flammable materials, it became a fighting force, and the power was amazing. Because it thundered when it burst, it was named "Meng Huo Thunder".

Ordinary stone oil cannot be detonated at all. It must be the stone oil after this secret method is prepared. There are very few artisans who understand this modulation technique, the craftsmanship is too complicated, and the fierce fire thunder is also very easy to be mistakenly exploded. Therefore, the Western Army of the Tang Dynasty did not use much. Who would have thought that the prairie barbarian who only knew the bow horse, and somehow he could find a fierce craftsman, made such dangerous things in the heart of Changan City.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaojing had rich experience in the Western Regions, and immediately smelled the familiar sulfur smell, and immediately responded, otherwise the casualties would be even more tragic.

Looking at the explosion, the stock of fiery fire thunder in the warehouse is really not small. They should have calculated that they would be attacked by Jing Ansi, and prepared this trick. Cao Poyan, who was guarding the front, was the victim of a fierce fire in the beginning.

Under Jingan's eyes, the whole warehouse was burning wildly, like a bright torch with thick smoke. Its structure hasn't collapsed yet. Looking inwards through the window and the open door, you can see that the warehouse has become a **** of fire. The dozen or so brigade soldiers who rushed into the room first needn't say much about the miserable end.

This scene is too impactful, and these brave soldiers can only turn their heads away, all looking sad. Cui Qitieqing asked with a trembling face, "Could it be ... this is a trap that lures us into ambush?"

Zhang Xiaojing shook his head: "No, it doesn't make sense to kill us. They did this to stop us from chasing and to facilitate them to transfer the processed fierce thunder as soon as possible."

Cui Qi took a breath, and the two fierce fire thunders already had great power. If such a thing had dozens of them ... he hurriedly said: "But after we entered the square, we went straight here and did not see them. Trails! "

Zhang Xiaojing raised his hand. At the end of the flaming warehouse, the smoke is thick, but you can vaguely see another exit opposite, even the outline of the unloading platform.

This was originally a brick kiln, with large production volume and frequent entry and exit of cars. It is extremely inconvenient to walk through the door of the Changmingfang Square, so the kiln owner should ask the Yu Department to make an exception and open a door straight from the wall of the square facing the kiln, so that the freight truck can easily go directly to the street- Turks' carriages pass in and out through them, and the beggars of Changming Square cannot be seen.

Zhang Xiaojing had previously asked Jia XVII. The latter said that he did not see a large number of carriages entering the square today. Now it really confirmed his conjecture.

This cannot blame anyone. The brick kiln has been closed for a long time, and some people will remember these old details.

The Turkic Wolf Guard put Cao Poyan in front, and then sneaked out from here. It's a pity that this exit was blocked by the fire, and no one would want to approach until it was completely extinguished. Jing Anji was one step away, and unexpectedly let the Turks run away again.

Cui Qi's face was ashamed. Once this thing exploded in Chang'an, his life was basically over.

"No, there is still a chance!" Zhang Xiaojing's eyes glinted sharply. "Things like fierce fire thunder cannot be prepared in advance. They must be heated and used now-they must have not walked far! It will be fast, and it should be caught up now. "

Upon hearing this, Cui Qi regained a little anger and stood up and said in a deep voice: "I'm going to notify Wanglou and send Jiujiuangu!"

"Well, it's up to you here!"

Zhang Xiaojing turned his head and ran towards the nearby Fang Qiangen. Cui Qi was puzzled and wondered what he wanted to do. Zhang Xiaojing looked at the roots of the wall, relaxed his arms, stepped on several earthen walls alternately, cleanly turned the wall of the square wall, and then turned back and shouted:

"Notify Li Sicheng that all the teams around you will act on my cigarette!"

After explaining this sentence, Zhang Xiaojing made a whistle. Shortly afterwards, a maroon horse on the street outside the wall galloped up, and Zhang Xiaojing rolled over and sat down firmly on the saddle. Without stopping, he shook the reins and hurried forward. Yao Ru was able to ride another horse and followed.

It turned out that Zhang Xiaojing had just asked Jia XVII to give Yao Runeng a word to let him lead two horses along the outside of the wall towards the northwest corner. Today, time is more expensive than Jinyu, and there is no time to go around the square door, and it will come out the fastest through the wall.

At this time the street is already a bit messy. More and more people entering the city saw the sudden smoke from Changming Square and stopped to watch. For a while mules and camels crowded together, and there was a lot of talk. Zhang Xiaojing urged the horse to rush, and almost rushed into the merchant several times. A camel team guy scolded and refused to make way. Zhang Xiaojing bluntly hit his spine with a whip, and the man jumped in pain. The people around were scared to hide on both sides.

They chased down to Dunyi Guiyi-the crossroads of East Dunyi Square and West Guiyi Square-they had to stop. Zhang Xiaojing looked around in four directions and could not see any suspicious traces. He pulled the reins anxiously, and the horses snorted impatiently because they were slow to leave.

Time passed by, but the Turks who escaped seemed to disappear into the sea. These guys are now carrying extremely dangerous fierce fire thunder, and may have taken hold of Wang Yunxiu, wherever they go is a big trouble.

At this time, Yao Ru could point to the ground with a finger: "Zhang Duwei! Look here!" Zhang Xiaojing looked down and saw a few black spots on the loess surface. Yao Runeng turned over and squatted down to take a closer look. He raised his head and said: "This ink dot is not dripping and round, the round head is west, the broom tail is east. It has this shape. "

The Turks evacuated more hurriedly and did not want to reseal them. These tars dripped down and became the best instructions.

Zhang Xiaojing made a gesture of applause to him, and there are not many young people who have been observing carefully this year. Yao Ru was able to get compliments. Two light blushes appeared on his cheeks, but when he thought about the discord between the two, his excitement suddenly faded.

"go!"

Zhang Xiaojing didn't care about Yao Runeng's careful thought, turned his horse and galloped away. Yao Runeng quickly got on the horse to keep up. The current priority is to seize the Turkic people. Other things will be discussed later.

They ran across an intersection, and Yao Runeng checked the stones again, and found that the Turks turned around at the Yongan Tongru intersection and ran north. After deciding the direction, Zhang Xiaojing and Yao Ru could take a breath at the same time.

The road taken by the Turks is the third street west of Zhuquemen Street, facing north and south. From here all the way north, the two rows of squares along the way, are both prosperous and prosperous, north to Yanshou Square, is the first-class luxury of Xijing. On the west side of Yanshoufang, it is the "Western Market" where "the world's treasures converge."

Here is usually overcrowded, and today is the first day of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. It's time to apply, and the sun is moving westward. I don't know how many lamp wheels, lamp trees, and lamp stands are being provoked.

The two urns have already suffered heavy losses. If you let Wolf Guard enter the area with more fierce fire thunder, I am afraid that the entire elite of Chang'an Xicheng will be destroyed.

The situation has reached the most critical moment, and he should not be hesitated for a moment.
