Mager immediately recognized this person who had repeatedly troubled them. He shouted in Turkic words: “Should have killed you!” Zhang Xiaojing smiled coldly and said nothing, but the lone wolf was fierce and one-eyed. , Let Ma Geer palpitations.
The two men fought violently on the carriage. As long as Zhang Xiaojing pulled Mager apart by half a foot, it was enough for other soldiers to come up to help; as long as Mager could fight for half a finger, he could get the torch into the barrel. The two are like standing on a rope between a deep cliff, a little careless, they will crush their bones.
This confrontation only passed a few moments. First, Zhang Xiaojing’s fist slammed into Ma Ge’er’s right eye. The broken iron piece in the finger slit directly blinded Wolf Guard’s eye. Then Ma Ge’er forehead hit Zhang Xiao Jing’s nose with his forehead, causing his blood to burst. flow. The two played furiously, but extremely fiercely, like two bloodthirsty wounded wolves.
Ma Geer’s wrists were entangled in ropes and his movements were limited. Zhang Xiaojing took the opportunity to storm his head. Unexpectedly, Ma Ge’er did not shirk, and he endured the severe pain of the head being hit hard, and extended his finger to pick up the wound under Zhang Xiaojing’s armpit. This wound was precisely Ma Geer left for Zhang Xiaojing in Xiuzhengfang. This time, Zhang Xiaojing’s eyes were so painful that his movements became stiff.
Mager didn’t chase after the victory, which made no sense. He quickly picked up the torch, glanced at the soldiers climbing from all sides, murmured a Turkic word, and then threw the torch into a wooden barrel. Zhang Xiaojing yelled and threw Mugeer into the car, but it was too late.
The mouth of the barrel quickly smelled of sulfur, and the smoke was light and curling.
The soldiers who had climbed up like ants backed away in terror. Li Bi on the high platform closed his eyes in frustration, did he still fail?
“Son, look!” Tan Qi exclaimed. Li Mi opened his eyes again, and everything in front of him made him gaze forward two steps, almost falling off the platform.
I saw Zhang Xiaojing jumped to the driver’s seat, beat the horse, and also made a desperate gesture to the soldiers in front to give way and headed north.
“What does Zhang Duwei mean?” One of Jing An’s principals shouted.
“Can he want to drive the carriage to a safe place? Where can this be done?”
“Even if it’s too late, the direction is wrong, this is still north!”
“Isn’t that what the Turks did?”
If Zhang Xiaojing chooses to retreat now, no one will accuse him. But he risked being swallowed by the flames, and drove the carriage northwards-there were prosperous places over there, but there was no open space where these five barrels of fiery fire thunder could be detonated safely.
In the rhetoric, a strange conjecture came to everyone’s mind. This man, but once publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the court, wouldn’t he want to push the boat down the river and drive his carriage to Miyagi to retaliate?
The bow and arrow team couldn’t help but scream: “Li Sicheng, the carriage is almost out of range!” Li Mi’s eyes flickered, and finally issued a command: “Withdraw the arrow.” The team was staring round, thinking He heard it wrong, and Li Mi repeated it again: “Withdraw the arrow.” The tone is beyond doubt.
Twenty archers had to put down their bows, somehow. The principals looked at Li Bi together. Li Sicheng was always known for his bold decision, but this time it was too bold.
At this time, Li Mi’s heart was also fiercely fighting. He remembered what Zhang Xiaojing said to him: “People chose you and I chose the road. We all have to be responsible for our choices.” Since he made a huge bet on this dead prisoner, he simply gambled to the end .
He believed that Zhang Xiaojing would do that, and he must have his reason. However, Li Mi’s cleverness can’t figure out how to crack this game.
Zhang Xiaojing drove a horse-drawn carriage and drove wildly in the wide street between West City and Guangdefang. Black smoke was coming from the barrel behind him. The fierce fire thunder did not sound at the first time, which is a lucky luck in the unfortunate, but the head of the fire has risen, the petrolatum is ignited, and it may explode at any time.
Suddenly Zhang Xiaojing bent down and pulled the left ear of the horse with a binding rope. The entire carriage began to shift to the left and turned.
“Tread!” Li Mi responded suddenly, and Xu Bin also called out: “Tread!” He looked at the other main subjects at a loss, and said two more words: “West City, wheel!”
There are two entrances and exits in West City, one east and one west. The crossing sill is a stone sill across the door. There are two notches on the sill, which are five feet and three inches apart. In other words, only a carriage with a five-foot three-inch wheelbase can enter the West Market. Too wide, too narrow, can not enter. While the other barriers in Chang’an City cross the dragon threshold, the gap between the two gaps is only four feet, allowing only narrow traffic.
In this way, the wide-distance carriage that transports bulk goods can only enter the east and west cities, and cannot go to other square cities; while the narrow-distance trolleys used daily in Chang’an City can pass between the squares without hindrance, but they can only enter Two cities. Separation of trucks, cars, and cargo passengers not only avoids congestion, but also facilitates the administration of the Municipal Department and Beijing Zhaofu.
Su Ji Che Ma Xing has always only transported bulk goods, and will naturally prepare vehicles according to the five-foot three-inch standard. If Zhang Xiaojing wants to get the carriage off the main street as soon as possible, entering West Market is the only option.
The East Gate of West City, which is exactly about sixty steps to the left of the carriage at this time, is instantly accessible at the speed of the carriage-but! Xishi is also an important town in Chang’an, where there are countless merchants, a lot of goods, and emissaries of rich merchants gathered from various countries. If it exploded there, it would have suffered heavy losses.
What kind of medicine is sold in Zhang Xiaojing’s gourd, Li Bi has no idea. He had nothing to do now, only to follow the dead prisoner with his gaze, and went all the way to black.
In the eyes of everyone, Zhang Xiaojing showed a very brilliant technique of driving cars. He replaced the whip with a binding rope, turning the cowl slightly westward, and the wheels pressed two near-perfect arcs on the loess road. When the car body turned completely westward, the hoofs of the two horses happened to cross the dragon threshold of the east gate of West City.
The two spinning wooden wheels accurately cut through the two notches on the dragon’s sill and fit tightly. The speed of the entire carriage was not affected by the steering at all, so it whistled and entered the western city.
As soon as he entered West City, he did not follow the main road to Cross Street, but plunged into the courtyard of the dwelling house next door. First, it crashed open dozens of large shochu urns stacked together, then knocked down several fences and half-timbered houses, and rushed down a sloped slope.
Zhang Xiaojing didn’t need to look back to know the status of the five wooden barrels. After so many collisions, the sulphur smell became more intense, and it was almost infinite. In fact, the fierce fire thunder can persist until now, it is already a miracle blessed by the gods and gods.
Death was approaching, but there was no panic or despair in his one eye, only silence, that kind of stone-like silence.
At the bottom of the **** is a water channel about six feet wide, with a thick layer of ice on the surface of the channel. This is called Guangtongqu, and it enters the city from Jinguangmen, and flows into West City along Jude and Qunxian. In order to facilitate the transportation of Qinling wood, the Guangtong canal has just been widened once in Tianbao Erzai.
Three hours ago, Cao Poyan jumped the river here and escaped the pursuit. There is still a cracked hole in the ice, which is exactly the trace of Cui Qi falling into the water.
Zhang Xiaojing wrapped his cloak tightly without expression, and slammed the horse for the last time. The castration brought by that slope, coupled with the galloping horses running frantically, made the carriage reach a very high speed. It swept across the trapezoidal **** made of rammed loess, and fell towards the wide ice surface without looking back.
The heavy carriage flew across the air and hit the thin ice heavily. With a loud noise, the ice surface was unintentionally collapsed, and the cold waves turned into countless hands to drag the carriage into the deep water. At the same time, the fierce fire thunder in the carriage finally burst, and a series of fire clouds were half on the water surface and half on the water, making a muffled noise, and the ripples expanded rapidly outside.
Guangtongqu, like a frightened giant snake, rolled up suddenly and madly. Water splashes and sparks bloom at the same time, countless fine pieces of ice splash high, accompanied by thick smoke rushing to the sky. If you let the poets walking around the capital stand on the shore and see this wonder, you will definitely chant a lot of famous words.
Not long after the explosion, a large number of Jing Ansi and You Xiaowei rushed across the canal. At this point, the ice surface had collapsed, and only half of the incomplete wheels were floating on the water surface, and the whole body was black.
The whole thing starts from the ice surface here and ends under the water here, as if the Buddha’s reincarnation appeared.
After a preliminary inventory, a large fissure was shaken in the canal embankment in this area, the water gate was skewed, a small town **** temple near the canal was collapsed by half, some trees and boats near the shore were destroyed, and several husband Broken leg-this is all the loss.
Several of the five barrels of fierce fire thunder exploded in the end. But one thing is clear. If Zhang Xiaojing did not send the carriage into the Guangtong Ditch to overcome the fire, no matter where they detonated, the loss would be dozens of times that of now.
The crisis finally lifted smoothly, and everyone was relieved for a long time. It was only now that they understood Zhang Xiaojing’s intentions-in that critical situation, Guangtongqu in Xishi was the only solution. It was really hard for him to think of this method, and even harder for him to dare to implement it in person.
The people of Jingan Division arrived one after another, preparing to clean up the scene. Xu Bin ran faster than anyone else. He rushed to the side of the canal and looked anxiously towards the river, trying to find his friends. He searched back and forth several times without seeing the figure, his lips could not help but tremble. It was he who introduced Zhang Xiaojing to the Jingan Division. If he rebelled against his life, it would be really guilty for a lifetime.
Xu Bin grabbed Yao Runeng’s arm next to him anxiously: “My eyes are not very good. Are you sure? Did you find him? By the way, the West City Department has six grasshopper boats in the Guangtongqu Hexin looks for it! ”
Yao Runeng had mixed feelings at this moment, and the death row prisoner had convinced him completely. It turned out that Zhang Xiaojing didn’t brag. He really was born and died for this city. Looking back now, in addition to killing Xiaoyi, Zhang Xiaojing’s actions during these few hours are really blameless. Yao Ru can be even more ashamed, he has always been suspicious of such a hero.
However, he believes that under such a violent explosion, it is unlikely that there will be survivors. Yao Runeng didn’t have the heart to tell Xu Bin this judgment, so he kept standing by the river and kept his silence, staring at him.
If Zhang Xiaojing died like this, his and his experiences will become a permanent mystery.
A sound of footsteps came, and he looked back and found that Li Sicheng had also come in person, standing on the **** of the soil and watching from afar, unable to see his expression clearly. The beautiful maid stood next to him, and the golden-yellow brocade was particularly eye-catching. Yao Runeng thought that Li Sicheng had been arguing for the appointment of Zhang Xiaojing, and even had trouble with He Jian for this. I don’t know what mood he would face in the end now.
At this moment, on the bank opposite the canal, a bad person waved his hand and shouted excitedly. Yao Ru could quickly put away her thoughts and looked over there at the same time as Xu Bin.
They saw that several bad people were carrying a figure from the river to the bank. The figure was dressed in a cloak, it looked very weak, but at least it could move. Behind them is a tall lotus petal nine-story stone building.
Since the Tang Dynasty believes in Buddha, the Guangtongqu such an important place naturally needs to erect a sacred building. Please ask the Buddha to bless the blessings and have the effect of measuring the depth of the channel. The figure should have just lie down under the Shijing Building, so it was not found by the person who searched first.
Xu Bin jumped up excitedly and almost wanted to swim past. He urged Yao Runeng to ask if it was Zhang Xiaojing. Yao Ru could restrain the beating heart and look far away. His eyesight was so good that he saw the gray-brown cloak at a glance, with large black holes in it.
That’s right, that’s the fire hood cloak.
So, is Zhang Xiaojing still alive? !
It is estimated that he took the initiative to jump off the car immediately before the explosion, that is, the shock wave of the explosion was thrown to the side of Shi Jing Building. The cloak allowed him to avoid the first wave of flames, and the octagonal shape of the stone temple was suitable for climbing, so that he would not sink to the bottom. This is really the blessing of the Buddha!
Xu Bin and Yao Ru were able to cheer like children, and the joy was overwhelming. Yao Ru could breathe a sigh of relief. Such an ending could not be more complete. In his heart, he began to conceive the rhetoric to meet for a while, it is better to congratulate him on pardoning the death penalty, or to apologize again.
Zhang Xiaojing did not know that two people across the river cheered for his survival. He is still dizzy, and he is so weak that he has to sit down after being walked for a few steps. Although I was very fortunate to avoid the explosion just now, the smell of being burned and then blistered by ice was really uncomfortable. The wounds on the broken finger, underarm and back started to bleed again.
Several bad guys diligently removed the wet cloak and robe for him, and covered him with a dry thick jacket. “Zhang Duwei, thanks to your blessing, everything is safe now.” One of the bad guys said flatly, handing over a cloth towel.
Zhang Xiaojing took the cloth towel, wiped the water stains in his eye sockets, and gave them back to the bad person, but his face was not as easy as he was determined.
Wolf Guard is indeed dead, but he always feels that the whole thing is not over yet. The number of fierce fire mines is not too much, but too little. There are fifteen barrels, and a few squares are blown up at most. It is far from enough to burn Changan. Will the “Turkol”, which the Turks have high hopes, really be that simple?
It’s really that simple. Just driving and colliding is what kind of guidance is needed.
What’s more, the whereabouts of the infection are still unknown. Neither the warehouse nor the three carriages just seen any women.
There are too many questions about this matter. Zhang Xiaojing was thinking about how to tell Li Mi about this. Suddenly he heard the sonorous sound of footsteps moving from far to near, and looked up, it turned out to be Cui Qi. Cui Qi is responsible for the search on the river channel, so he arrived first.
“Cui Lushuai, the matter is not over yet, take me to see Li Sicheng immediately.” Zhang Xiaojing said loudly.
However, Cui Qi had a stiff face and no smile. He walked in front of Zhang Xiaojing and raised his hand. The two brigade soldiers flew like a wolf and slammed Zhang Xiaojing’s arms.
“Take away.” Cui Qi didn’t touch his eyes at all.
