Chapter 1,698 1 Fire

After almost exploring the situation, Cao Yan began to urge Shen An to go back.

"The Mangshan Army is hanging around outside, and you're not worried that something will happen to them?"

Shen An is looking at the sketch.

"Outside the Imperial City, there is a water gate near the west gate. I have visited it in the past few days. It is very loosely guarded. There should be few people there at night."

"What do you want to do?" Cao Yan was a little nervous, but the three people in the Imperial City Department were at a loss.

They don't know Shen An's urine, but they can't help Lao Cao knowing it!

This guy likes to commit suicide, and he must leave some souvenirs wherever he goes. When he arrived in Youzhou City, how could he return empty-handed?

But is this guy really crazy?

That is the imperial city of the Liao people!

"There is just a wooden door there. I have seen it and it is all rotten. Uncle Guo..." Shen An raised his head, "Do you want to make a contribution?"

Cao Yi shook his head, "I just want to go home, how about you don't seek death?"

Shen An said: "But I still remember those days."

Cao Bin was defeated during the Northern Expedition. After returning to the Song Dynasty, he was held accountable, and his so-called famous general title was also cast in gloom.

Cao Yi hesitated.

"It's very simple, a certain guarantee." Shen An was very confused, but Cao Yi was too deceived and firmly refused.

"An Bei, this is inappropriate. The purpose of our coming here is to find out the news. Now that we have accomplished our merits, what's the point of you having to go to the palace?" Cao Yan said seriously: "Why don't we go back safely? ?”

"But it's already here, I'm going to feel a little itch if there's no movement!" Shen An said very calmly.

Cao Yi shook his head, "You can't go!"

"Okay!" Shen An nodded, but Cao Yi was unsure.

"Don't you want to coax someone?"

"good!"

Shen An made an excuse, called He Bao out, and asked, "Maybe we can get kerosene?"

Well!

He Bao's eyes became more cautious, "I've been hoarding some oil for a long time, a lot!"

"Not bad, what are you doing with it?" Shen An felt that this was a reliable thing.

He planned to set a fire before leaving, but the purpose was not as simple as being itchy.

He knew better than anyone else that a little impatience would ruin a big plan, but he had to light the fire.

He Bao looked very honest and honest, but at this moment he showed a bit of ferocity, "This kerosene has two uses. One is that if the Liao people find it, they can burn themselves to death. If they are not discovered, they can wait for the army to go north to attack You." When the city was in state, the villain tried to light a fire and caused chaos in the city."

"There is no shortage of good men in the Song Dynasty!" Shen An nodded and said: "You are very good, but I hope you can wait until the day when the flag is changed at the top of the city."

"Yes." He Baohan said with a smile: "Zhang Douzhi said that if the Northern Expedition succeeds, the villain will be considered a meritorious service. Then he can eat whatever he wants, and he can go to any Bianliang brothel he wants."

"must!"

These people put their heads in their belts to serve the Song Dynasty, and Shen An felt that no reward could be exaggerated.

But how to get the kerosene in next?

This is a difficult question.

Shen An went to the scene again and asked He Bao to buy several jars of fine wine and more than ten large water bags on the way back.

After returning to the station, Cao Yi sighed when he saw what he brought back, squatted there and said with a sad face: "Tell me, what do you want to do with it?"

Shen An, He Bao and others were filling kerosene, one person was holding a water bag, and the other two were holding jars and pouring it in slowly.

This is the oil that He Bao has obtained bit by bit over the past few years, just like a mouse moving.

After filling the tank with oil, Shen An asked everyone to sleep.

"We will start at night. He Bao will first use a dung truck to get the kerosene out of the city."

After sleeping until the afternoon, He Bao was already back. Shen An cooked himself and made a large pot of soup cakes.

"It tastes really good, just like Bianliang."

While He Bao was eating, he suddenly lowered his head and wiped away tears.

"When I was preparing to come to the north that year, Zhang Douzhi invited me to eat soup cakes on the streets of Bianliang. He said it was the most delicious one. The taste is still fresh in my memory."

After being away from home for several years and living in an enemy country, I lived in fear every day. Once I started missing my relatives in my hometown, I couldn't stop thinking about it.

Shen An knew this feeling, so he didn't dissuade her.

After eating the soup cake, Shen An ordered: "He Bao and us will leave separately, Brother Chun!"

Huang Chun has been resting for the past few days, which makes He Bao a little puzzled. He wonders who this person is, and he has nothing to do here.

Huang Chun nodded, and Shen An continued to give instructions: "Xiao Zhong, take Wei Ming to watch Shuimen and sneak in first."

Hearing Xiaozhong nod, Wei Ming said excitedly: "Finally, it has reached a place where it can be used."

He is good at sneaking in, but last time he was hung in the air by a noose at Shen's house, and he was almost bitten by Huahua.

Shen An smiled and looked at Yang Qi, "Follow me."

Yang Qi was a little frustrated.

His specialty is autopsy, and this time he is going to increase his knowledge and experience, which will come in handy in the future.

"Set off!"

Shen An left the room first, and Cao Yan followed him depressedly, "Where are Baoyu and XX?"

Yan Baoyu said nothing, he knew his responsibility.

When Wen Xiaozhong took the order to infiltrate, the heavy responsibility of protecting Shen An fell on his shoulders.

As for Cao Yi...

"Uncle, you look honest." Shen An said without conscience: "Later, you will squat at the north gate of the imperial city and pretend to be a beggar."

"Why?" Cao Yan was unhappy, "Shuimen is outside the city. You all go out of the city and leave a certain person in the city. What does this mean?"

Shen An said: "We must leave the city first, and then come in through the Water Gate outside the city. After entering the Water Gate, we have to walk more than half of the palace to get to the front of the palace. After lighting the fire, we must not go back the same way, we can only come out from the north gate. "

"Uncle Guo!" Shen An pressed Cao Yan's shoulder and said affectionately: "When the time comes, we need you to make some noise outside the north gate to distract the people nearby, and then we can escape."

Cao Yan looked at him and nodded vigorously, "Okay, don't worry!"

Cao Yi would never go back on his word as long as he promised. Shen An patted him on the shoulder and said, "If we are discovered, Uncle Guo, you can run as far as you want. After looking for an opportunity to leave the city, go to the north of the city, Mang Mountain." The army is waiting in that area and will take you back to Bianliang."

Cao Yi moved his lips, "Can't I not go?"

Why such an adventure?

Cao Yan knew that Shen An was not that crazy, but why was he doing this?

Shen An smiled and said: "The Han people in Youyan have long forgotten their homeland. A certain person is here now and wants to use a fire to tell them that this place will definitely be the territory of the Song Dynasty in the future. They should consider how to face the Song Dynasty. ."

Cao Yan's body was shaken, "Are you trying to win the heart of the Han'er in the city? When you attack Youzhou City in the future, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

Shen An nodded, "Otherwise, do you think he is a lunatic just to light a fire for fun?"

Cao Yan said seriously: "I really thought you were a lunatic before."

"Old Cao, when we return to Bianliang without a Han Dynasty weapon, we are not finished!"

Shen An hooked his shoulder and threatened.

Cao Yi nodded heavily, "Okay."

"Brothers!"

"Brothers!"

Looking at this scene, Yang Qi felt her eyes burning.

Shen An didn't have to take risks, and Cao Yi didn't agree.

But they didn't hesitate.

The words "for the Song Dynasty" on the battlefield sounded hollow, but looking at this scene, people can't help but get excited.

"What a man!" He Bao couldn't help but praise.

Yan Baoyu said: "He is a real man!"

The Song Dynasty needs a man!

Liao and Xixia people always said that the Song Dynasty was weak and had no men.

But now?

Now that Xixia has been destroyed, the Liao people are frantically expanding their armies and preparing for war.

While the city gate was still closed, Shen An and others blended in with the flow of people leaving the city and went out smoothly.

They walked forward behind a mother and son, and there were fewer and fewer people as they walked.

The mother and son's home was probably in the village ahead. When she turned around and saw Shen An and others, the woman started shouting.

"They say we are strong people and that there are many strong warriors in the village."

Yan Baoyu translated it in a low voice.

Damn it!

Shen An rubbed his face depressedly, feeling that he was definitely a versatile actor, otherwise why would he be considered a stooge at one moment and a strongman at the next.

Everyone stopped, and the woman took her son and ran away quickly.

"Leave quickly."

Shen An took the people in a large circle, got a water bag from a cave, and arrived at the water gate after dark.

Wen Xiaozhong and Wei Ming went over first.

Yang Qi was observing the left and right, and He Bao whispered: "I'm afraid there's someone inside."

"There must be someone." Shen An said firmly: "I have seen it in the past few days and there are at least two people guarding behind the water gate."

"I'm afraid of being discovered." He Bao was a little confused.

"Anxin." Shen An said, "My servant is good at this."

He Bao glanced at Yang Qi, and Yang Qi nodded.

That Wen Xiaozhong was the most outstanding assassin under Mr. Wen, and even the people in the Imperial City Department had a headache when it came to infiltrating.

Wei Ming came back later. He lowered his voice, but his excitement could still be heard, "It's already opened."

"Where's the guard?"

"Killed to death."

Shen An was overjoyed, "Let's go!"

Everyone set off carrying water bags.

Wei Ming followed Shen An and whispered: "Shen Longtu, maybe let me follow Mr. Wen... no, learn from Mr. Wen?"

Shen An shook his head, "It's enough to have Wen Xiaozhong. You go and learn it. If you learn it, Zhang Baizhong will send you overseas."

Top assassins are a hidden danger, and this is why Wen Xiaozhong has been watched over the years.

He Bao followed and whispered: "Is that person very powerful?"

Wei Ming was a little disappointed and said, "That is the top assassin."

When everyone arrived at the water gate, they entered through the water and found two corpses lying on the left side.

Hearing that Xiao Zhong was ahead, Shen An ordered: "Go and investigate."

"yes."

Hearing that Xiao Zhong disappeared into the night, Shen An said: "Brother Chun!"

Huang Chun began to lead the team.

Everyone was shocked to see these arrangements.

Wen Xiaozhong is a top assassin, so there is no problem for him to clear the way, but what does Huang Chun do?

There were patrols in the imperial city. When they twice avoided the patrolling Liao people, He Bao and others fell to the ground in admiration.

He Bao looked at Shen An in front of him and thought, how could Shen Longtu have so many talented people under his command?

When we arrived at Yuanhe Hall, Wen Xiaozhong was already pouring oil.

"Hurry!"

Shen An said excitedly: "What the hell! Killing people and setting fires is really the most exciting thing!"

Everyone gathered around to pour the oil, and it was done later.

Shen An made a small device in front of the kerosene, a delayed ignition thing. He almost burned Yelu Hongji to death with this device last time.

"Walk!"

With Huang Chun in front, everyone quietly went to the north gate.

When they arrived in front of the north gate, everyone hid on the side, waiting for the fire to start.

…

A quarter of an hour passed...

Everyone looked at Shen An.

Boss, what are you playing?

Shen An felt embarrassed, but nodded firmly, indicating that there was absolutely no problem.

After waiting for a while, Shen An felt that he had definitely made a mistake. The ignition device had been extinguished.

He stood up and said, "You wait here, I'll go take a look."

Wen Xiaozhong and Yan Baoyu grabbed him.

What a fucking thing!

Just as Shen An was about to yell and scold, he heard some noises.

He looked back and saw a fire rising in Yuanhe Hall.

The fire quickly expanded, and the sergeants on guard at the top of the city screamed in surprise, and were then organized to put out the fire.

After everyone left, Shen An stood up and raised his hands in front of the fire.

A look of confidence!

There is no place in this world that cannot be visited!

"Baoyu!"

He stretched out his hand, and Yan Baoyu took out a brush and a porcelain bottle from his arms.

Shen An took the brush and Yan Baoyu opened the porcelain bottle.

Dipping the brush into cinnabar ink from the porcelain bottle, Shen An walked to the wall and wrote furiously.

——Shen An is here for a visit!

He was sure that Yelu Hongji would be furious to death when he learned of this, and then the officials and generals of Nanjing would be in trouble.

The red cinnabar ink slides down the writing, and it looks like blood is flowing...
