MTL - Dianxia Qingcheng-Chapter 176 like baby
Qi Changyi broke free of his wrist twice, but was only squeezed tighter. His cheeks were hot, and he protested in a low voice, "But I don't have it, I don't know anything."
Pei Zheng pressed his wrist to the top of his head and rubbed his neck gently, itching in his heart.
There was a sudden noise in the corner, Qi Changyi remembered that there was someone in the room, felt embarrassed, and twisted his body slightly.
"do not move."
Pei Zheng held his waist with one hand, took a breath, and prepared to slide his fingers along the clothes around his waist.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Cheng Feng called softly outside, "Master."
"It's Ah Feng." Qi Changyi said.
Pei Zheng took his hand back, straightened the little man's clothes, and then turned over and got out of bed.
"Come in."
Chengfeng walked in, glanced at Li Wu who was still huddled in the corner, and then reported the situation to Pei Zheng.
Zhao Litang has been deploying the surrounding troops to come to the frontier for support, and it should be almost time to reach Anli City, so they only need to insist on reaching Zhao Litang's army.
But the battle situation on the frontier front is not optimistic.
The army of the Celestial Dynasty suffered serious losses, and most of the foreign tribes had been occupied by the barbarians. I believe that according to this momentum, they may soon attack the city of Anli.
I wish the support team could arrive as soon as possible.
For the next two days, Li Wu was locked in that room, and Pei Zheng and Qi Changyi never left the room. It was Li Wujia's servant who kept bringing them food.
And their downstairs have always been guarded by guards, and they have not relaxed their vigilance at all times.
During this period, the most comfortable one was probably only Pei Zheng. He didn't take Li Wu seriously at all, he just regarded him as air, how to take advantage of a certain villain with bad behavior, no problem at all. Feeling at ease.
Li Wu even thought several times that he should be the one who was blinded.
On the third day, Cheng Feng noticed something was wrong with the guards outside, so he reported it to Pei Zheng.
It just so happened that Li Wu's servant came to give them food again. After placing the food box on the table, he was about to leave. Before leaving, he gave Li Wu a look.
It's a pity that all this was seen by Pei Zheng.
After the people left, Pei Zheng walked up to Li Wu and smiled, "Hand over it."
Li Wu's back was already sweating coldly. The servant just quietly stuffed him with a ball of paper, and he hadn't had time to open it.
"What, what? I don't understand what Master Pei is saying."
"Don't understand?" Pei Zheng took out a dagger and measured it twice against Li Wu's ear.
"Then it's useless to ask for this."
Li Wu hurriedly changed his words, "Don't stop! I understand! I understand Master Pei! It's in my hands!"
Cheng Feng stepped forward and took out the paper ball, and read it directly.
It turned out to be those powerful people in the city. The note they left to Li Wu was to ask him not to worry, they would rescue him soon, and they had already thought of a surefire way to solve the trouble of Pei Zheng.
That is, set the house on fire.
Burn the entire house directly, so that even if someone traces it, it will not leave a trace, and the letter they have drawn can also be destroyed together.
After hearing this, Pei Zheng didn't get angry but laughed, and clapped his hands at Li Wu, "Master Li, did you hear that, your people are going to burn you to death now, what a parental official you do is really pitiful."
Li Wu retorted, "They clearly said that they will come to save me soon. It is you, not me, that they will burn to death! I am their city lord, and they have to obey me in everything!"
Pei Zheng restrained his smile and said, "Save you? It's getting dark now, why haven't you seen any movement? But the moon is dark and the wind is high, but it's a good time for arson. I put this note for you, just to use you to hold it back. Me, buy them some time for themselves."
Li Wu shook his head violently and kept saying that it was impossible. He and those people were grasshoppers on the same rope. How could those people ignore their own safety.
Pei Zheng was too lazy to say anything to him, because Chengfeng had already noticed that the guards outside were quietly pouring oil on the building.
Cheng Feng was optimistic about the escape route. After he turned over and crossed the window sill, Pei Zheng also followed him with agility, and then hugged Qi Changyi directly.
Li Wu still believed that someone would come to save him, so Pei Zheng asked him to wait here to see what he could wait for.
The three climbed up from the window sill to the roof, and before they jumped off the roof, they saw a torch suddenly fly in the air, and threw it directly from the window sill they had just turned over.
Then came the torches one after another, which ignited the entire building in an instant. Taking advantage of the wind, the fire burned very quickly, and it was about to burn to the roof.
Pei Zheng jumped off the roof with Qi Changyi in his arms, and Qi Changyi looked at the burning house behind them.
"I don't know if Mr. Li has been rescued or not. Someone must have rescued him."
How can there be.
What Pei Zheng said was right. The dignitaries in those cities didn't plan to save Li Wu. They all saw it. Li Wu was in awe of Pei Zheng, so they felt that Li Wu was too timid and would rather abandon him.
They felt that the walls of Anli City were indestructible, and it was impossible for anyone to come in. Besides, they had so many guards, they could have been in the city forever.
The premise is that both Li Wu and Pei Zheng must die.
Thick smoke quickly spread out, and the entire building was burned to ashes, and the original structure could not be seen, only a large piece of black lacquered wood.
Some people stood in front of the building and smiled happily while watching the fire. They thought that all the people in the building had been burned to ashes.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, but the residual firelight still illuminated the night sky above.
The fire was blurry as if a figure appeared, slowly walking out from the junction of darkness and fire.
The person who came was wearing a black splendid robe, tall and shadowy, with a stern aura, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he casually held a sword in one hand.
Like a lifeless ghost.
The dignitaries who were still laughing suddenly shut their mouths and stared at the people who were approaching step by step.
They all thought they were blind, otherwise how could they see the dead resurrected again.
In a flash of cold light, someone fell to the ground in response, and blood rushed to the face of the person next to him, and that person knew that this was not dazzling.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
The screams sounded, but unfortunately it was too late.
The cold light flashed several times, several bodies fell, and the surroundings became much cleaner.
There were still a few dignitaries left, and upon seeing this, they all covered their mouths tightly, daring not to make a sound.
They don't know how Pei Zheng survived the sea of fire, but now he is clearly looking for revenge.
"Who else has any objection to what I said before?"
Pei Zheng wiped the blood on the sword and asked softly.
Everyone present was quiet, and no one dared to make a sound.
None of the guards who had been standing on the periphery had stepped forward just now.
Pei Zheng glanced over, and the guards threw their weapons directly on the ground.
"Since this is the case, then the few present will donate half of their family wealth to help the refugees."
Pei Zheng glanced at the people on the ground, "Of course, including them."
"Is there a problem?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison, "No, no, no problem! I'll donate right away!"
All the people present were frightened out of their souls, for fear that he would be too late to promise, and the next person to be ripped apart would be himself.
Originally, it was the people’s fat and people’s cream that was looted and squeezed, but now it’s just returning it.
As soon as Li Wu and his henchmen died, the sky in Anli City seemed to be a little clearer, and there were finally some figures on the originally empty street.
The residents of Anli City, who were originally reluctant to go out after their homes were closed, have now gone out of their homes and began to help the refugees on their own initiative.
The city has also set up a lot of relief points. With the financial support of the rich and powerful, the refugees have been properly arranged.
Pei Zheng was in a hurry to find Qi Changyi to ask for credit, and specially brought him to a rescue point. Those refugees who saw them all kowtowed and thanked them.
Qi Changyi hurried to help them up, but it was a pity to help this one up, that one kneel down again, that one up, this one kneel down again
In the end, Pei Zheng pulled him into the temple next to him, and the refugees outside were willing to get up one after another.
There were also people living here in the temple. They were afraid that they would also salute. Pei Zheng and Qi Changyi covered their faces with their sleeves. As soon as they stepped in, they found a statue to hide behind.
As a result, a sleeping baby was placed here behind the statue, with a pink and tender face, which was cute and tight.
Qi Changyi's heart melted when he saw such a cute little baby. He squatted beside him and looked at him carefully. He wanted to reach out and touch his little fleshy face, but he didn't dare to touch him easily.
"Baby baby" he muttered softly unconsciously.
Suddenly, footsteps came, and Pei Zheng pulled Qi Changyi up and turned around, blocking his body with his back.
It was the baby's mother who came and took him away.
After the people left, there were only two people left behind the statue.
Qi Changyi looked at the empty space, and his face was disappointed.
Pei Zheng squeezed his soft little face, "Like the baby?"
Apparently he looks like a baby.
"I like it" Qi Changyi lowered his head, "but but"
Pei Zheng knew what he thought and raised his chin.
"No but, I will give you whatever you like, you know? So don't be sad, the baby will have it, it will definitely."
Qi Changyi's eyes were wet, and he sniffed, "Really? Didn't you lie to me?"
Pei Zheng pointed to the outside, "Look, I have done what I promised you, you say, will I lie to you?"
Qi Changyi pouted and turned his head away, "I don't know if you can lie, anyway, you lied to me before."
Pei Zheng couldn't tell if he was suffering.
After the two left the temple, they saw a lot of people at the gate of the city from a distance.
A soldier who had just entered the city was seriously injured and said that he had come from the front to deliver a letter.
His remarks were intermittent, connected together, the front line couldn't stand it anymore, and everyone in Anli City had to retreat to the rear as soon as possible.
