Prison Dragon

The Xuanjia army raided Nanshan, and Yang You's five cities were all alarmed. They consolidated the city defenses for a while, and sent people to inquire about the news, as a gesture of rescue.

Yang Shi sat guarding Lidu and ordered General Tang Jiuzheng to be in charge of attacking Yang You.

Tang Jiuzheng hid in the darkness with his men and horses, and looked at Wushan City not far away. In order to march quietly at night, the soldiers held branches in their mouths, and the horses' feet were wrapped with silk. He saw a tall man ordering soldiers to rescue Nanshan. The general under his command said: "General, that is Yang Yuchun, the number one general under King Jing Yang You's account."

"Can you see how many people he brought?" Tang Jiuzheng rubbed the scabbard repeatedly, his fingers trembling with excitement for the upcoming battle.

"About 2 people."

"In other words, there are still tens of thousands of horses in the city," Tang Jiuzheng picked a weed and chewed it in his mouth, raising his eyebrows and sneering.

He suddenly remembered what Yang Shi said before sending him off for the expedition. The monarch was wearing a well-formed dark black dress, with an unstoppable icy smile on his face. Some skills. But, that's all. I should thank him, I don't have to send troops to fight the southwest."

The night was very quiet, Yang You couldn't sleep, his eyelids were twitching, and he didn't know where the accident would happen. A strong intuition made him insist on not going to sleep, as if he would fall into an irreversible crisis if he fell asleep, so he got up by himself Lead people to check the city defense.After searching around, I didn't find any omissions, so the servant persuaded: "His Royal Highness, if you have nothing to do, go in and sleep. The sun is suffering in summer, and you can't sleep well at night, and you can't hold it during the day."

The name of this young man is Xia Chun, who was brought from Chengdu. He usually does not serve Yang You, but he heard that he would have to suffer a lot on the way back to Beijing and had to fight, so Chu Ge chose a strong man in King Jing's mansion Those who are strong and can write rough punches follow.

Yang You thought for a while, and found that there was really nothing to investigate, so he went back to sleep. Lying on the bed, his head began to hurt. He thought too much, and he couldn't sleep well at night these days, often dreaming about the scene of the two armies fighting.

Either he died or others were killed by the Xuanjia Army.

He said he was not afraid of the Xuanjia Army on his lips, but his fear clearly appeared in his dream.

He touched the dragon scales on his chest, the cold temperature made him calm down gradually, and he slowly fell asleep.

It was this dream again.

Since going to Beijing, he has been having this dream constantly.

It was a Taoist temple, and a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes was talking to a man kneeling on the ground with his back turned to him.But the voice was separated by water mist, so he couldn't hear it clearly.

Yang You wanted to get closer, but he could only stay in place, unable to make a sound or interfere.

There is a statue of Sanqing in the temple, and a column of white smoke hovers upwards. The man kneeling on the ground turned to face the middle-aged man. Among the five sense organs, only one mouth is constantly talking, and the hair is obviously gray, but the words are like a four or five-year-old child.

This weird scene made Yang You feel creepy, but he got used to it because he had dreamed about it many times.

The Taoist said: "It's not that I can't do what you said, it's just against the way of heaven. Although cultivating the Tao is going against the sky, it's not in vain."

The middle-aged man seemed to have said something to him again, the Taoist shook his head, "Please go back."

The middle-aged man walked away in a huff, and he should be very angry by his actions.

After he left, the Taoist priest sat on the futon and read leisurely, "When the jade face is destroyed, the ants gather, and the blue stage is empty, and there are few songs and dances. We will die together with the heaven and the way, and we will return together with the bones and dust."

Every time Yang You only dreamed here and then woke up, this time the dream seems to be longer and more complete, in the long ending of the Taoist priest, Yang You saw the tongue of fire flickering in front of Sanqing's bright golden body.

He was suddenly pulled out of the Taoist temple. There were many men in black standing beside the middle-aged man. They surrounded the Taoist temple with oiled firewood. The fire was burning and black smoke billowed upwards.The old Taoist priest was not the only one in the Taoist temple, there were also many disciples, they were all trapped in the sea of ​​fire and screamed pitifully.

Are you crazy?Why kill?

Yang You couldn't move or speak, and could only stare at the middle-aged man with his eyes.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, Yang You felt the scorching air hit his face in waves, and the thick black smoke penetrated everywhere, choking his neck sorely.

Yang You opened his eyes suddenly, in the room with the closed door, through the window paper, dazzling orange light was shining all around.

The sound of burning wood and the desperate screams of people were close to my ears. The room was already extremely hot, and someone knocked and shouted: "The water is gone!"

His ignorant mind immediately returned to his senses, and he quickly got up from the bed, took off a piece of bed netting, wet it with tea and put it on his body, covered his mouth and nose with a wet washcloth, put on the saber on the wall, and prepared go out.

As he moved, something fell to the ground, Yang You looked down, it seemed to be a jade pendant, it was placed on the bedside before, he didn't think about it, picked up the jade pendant and put it in his arms, reached out and opened the door .

The door was blackened by fire, Yang You touched it suddenly, and his fingertips were burned red, so he had to open the door with his sword, shouting, "Xia Chun! Xia Chun!"

Xia Chun was not near the room, so he might have left before the fire.

At this moment, the place where Yang You lives has completely turned into a sea of ​​flames. Most of the Wushan City is made of wooden buildings. In summer, the air is dry, and if there is water in one place, it will set the whole street on fire. He ran out with his head covered, surrounded by countless shelters. The soldier who fled in the fire, because he covered his whole body with a bed net, no one recognized him.

There are still many people calling for the lord, they should be looking for him, Yang You is wrapped in the crowd, there is no way to move around at will, as long as he opens his mouth, a puff of black smoke will come, and he dare not even speak.

He temporarily lived in the Wushan County Yamen, walked all the way to the open place, passed through an arched door, suddenly tripped over something soft and fell to the ground, Yang You hurriedly supported the ground and crawled to both sides until he was leaning against the wall. will be stepped on.

The one who was stumbling him was a man, wearing a servant's clothes, lying on his face on the ground, his hair was trampled loose, covering his head, Yang You saw that his figure was like Xia Chun, so he dragged him over and brushed him away The messy hair was indeed Xia Chun's face.

It's just that he stared wide-eyed, and his neck was cut, leaving only dry bloodstains in the fire scene, and he had no breath.

It was only then that Yang You realized that the strong flames made people unable to see clearly, and the place where Xia Chun lay down was covered with a pool of black stains, which was his blood.

If it is just to avoid the fire, why kill people?Or with a deadly knife.

I'm afraid that setting the fire was causing chaos, and killing Xia Chun was to ask his whereabouts!It's just that Xia Chun didn't live with him, and he was far away from his room when he was arrested. The child probably didn't tell his direction, so Yang You saved his life.

He had to be thankful that he listened to Yang Yuchun's words, and instead of staying in the best room in the county government, he chose a remote and ordinary room to hide in.

The Xuanjia Army is here...

He didn't care about placing Xia Chun's body, so he put him in the corner, and after making sure that no one would trample on him, he covered himself more tightly with a bed curtain, and ran towards the city gate.

Yang Yuchun's lieutenant, Long Jiang, was organizing people to put out the fire. The Xuanjia Army was not in a hurry to attack the city, but transported all the firewood to the city gate, piled up a hill and set them on fire, sealing off all the exits, and then sent people to continue The ground fired rockets at the city, turning Wushan City into a sea of ​​flames.

Yang You fled all the way, but saw the crying of every household, the sound of explosions, the red-hot houses collapsed one after another, and everyone, big and small, was shuttling to fetch water to fight the fire. human action.

The lives were devastated, and in just one night, this small and stable town instantly turned into a purgatory.

However, the fire has already started, manpower is only a drop in the bucket, completely unable to stop the spread of the flames.

Yang You closed his eyes in pain, and walked all the way to the gate of the city. Seeing that Longjiang was still looking for someone to put out the fire, he couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed his collar, "Didn't you see that so many people's houses were on fire? No, let people out of the city quickly, and all the people in Wushan will be burned to death after a while!"

"I can't get out!" Long Jiang pressed his neck and made him squat down. A rocket came through the air and landed on the ground. Long Jiang quickly pulled Yang You to hide in the shadow of the city wall, "My lord, the door is blocked They blocked it with firewood and couldn't get out!"

Yang You looked up, what was more eye-catching than the flames inside the city was the black smoke rising from outside the city gate, the sky filled with rockets crashing into Wushan City like meteors, Long Jiang shouted: "This is the third wave!"

Is Yang Shi crazy? Even if he wants to kill him, the people in this city are innocent...

No, they suffered because of themselves. Yang You suddenly realized that this fire was the price his ambition made others pay.If he just stayed in the southwest by himself, it would only be Yang You and a few cronies who died in the end.

Once the sword is used, it is no longer a matter of stopping the lives of a few people.

"Then what should I do? I can't get out, and the fire can't stop..." Yang You understood Long Jiang's eyes while talking.

"My lord," Long Jiang's eyes were already full of tears, "We all have to die here."

"Fart!" Yang You also became flustered, and cursed, "I came to the Central Plains and didn't do anything, so I have to die in this kind of ghost place for no reason? Aren't there 1 people outside the city? Where did they go?"

Long Jiang shook his head, "There is no news, the movement in Wushan City is so big, they will not fail to notice, either they are fighting with the Xuanjia Army, or..."

Before he finished speaking, Yang You already knew the answer.

The flames soared into the sky, black air filled the sky, and the night sky was illuminated by orange-yellow flames. Even the stars were hidden in the strong light. Rockets shot down, and the roar of houses collapsing continued to come out.

Long Jiang was already at a loss, hugged Yang You's leg and began to cry loudly.

Yang You looked at the sea of ​​fire in despair, he was on the brink of failure, did he really want to die here?

He clearly didn't even see the shadow of the capital...

He can't die, he can't die...
