Chapter 252 Lightning Strike

While talking, Gui Bugui glanced at the chessboard where Wu Mian and the little emperor were playing chess, and after a smile, he said, "When did you have such a hobby? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known that you could play chess."

"There are so many things you don't know." Wu Mian looked at Gui Bugui, pointed to the chessboard in front of him and said, "Old guy, come a game?"

Looking at Wu Mian's interest, the old guy smiled and said, "Tell me, I played chess for a few days when I was a priest, but I haven't played it for many years. I've forgotten it for a long time. Since you have this interest, I'll accompany you to a game..."

While speaking, Gui Bugui sat in the position where Zhu Yunwen was just now. While making a move, he continued to say to the little emperor: "Your Highness, if I am right, the Yan army will attack the thirteen gates of the capital tomorrow morning. You will give the imperial edict, no matter which gate the Yan army attacks, the soldiers guarding the city will just light a bonfire. They don't have to resist and find a safe place to hide - kill the dragon..."

Gui Bugui made a very fast move, and Wu Mian was not slow either. The two seemed to be scrambling to make a move. Before the old man finished speaking, he had already left more than twenty pieces. Wu Mian had already fallen into the trap set by the old man without realizing it. In the end, Gui Bugui actually killed Wu Mian's big dragon and swept away all the pieces he had just left... Wu Mian didn't expect that he would lose so quickly. He frowned and looked at the endgame on the board, and then reached out to disrupt the endgame.

He said to Gui Bugui on the opposite side: "One more game..."

"I won't come, I'll go around the city." After Gui Bugui smiled, he stood up and continued to say to Wu Mian: "I am born to work hard, and I have to prepare something for Guangxiao... Your Highness, you should issue an imperial edict first. I will take the imperial edict to do things."

Seeing Gui Bugui and Zhu Yunwen busy, Wu Mian was embarrassed to let them play chess with him again. In the end, the little emperor came to see the white-haired man's addiction and asked Zheng Jun to find a Go player among the guards to accompany Wu Mian to play a few more games.

Taking advantage of this skill, Zhu Yunwen gave Gui Bugui an imperial edict to act cheaply, and asked the old guy to take him with him to go to the thirteen city gates of all sizes in the capital. He asked Gui Bugui to personally prepare for the Yan army to attack the city...When Wu Mian continued to enjoy the chess, Gui Bugui was busy in the dark. The old guy first went to the raw medicine shop and bought a lot of sulfur, raw salt and other medicinal materials. Then he used his escape method to go to the thirteen city gates of all sizes in the capital. After relying on the imperial edict to prove his identity, he sprinkled the sulfur, raw salt and other medicine powder he prepared in his own hands in the wolf smoke basin. He deliberately lit the general guarding the city gate as soon as he saw the Yan army siege, he must ignite the wolf smoke as soon as possible.

Gui Buguiyi went to the twelve city gates in a row. Just as he rushed to the last city gate, the old guy suddenly stopped and then looked at the sky with a strange look on his face. I don’t know when it started, the sky with the moon was already covered with dark clouds... Just as Gui Bugui raised his head, a sudden thunder sound in the sky, and then an orange-red lightning bolt hit the palace. Although it was already late at night, there were still many deployed soldiers and yamen runners on the street who saw the scene of lightning strike on the palace. Everyone was shocked. After all, lightning strike on the palace was not a good sign.

Before these people could react, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction of the palace, and then a giant dragon transformed from lightning rose from the ground and flew towards the center of the cloudy clouds in the sky. After seeing this giant dragon soaring into the sky, people who had not yet walked out of the lightning strike palace were frightened and their lips were shaking involuntarily.

Seeing the giant dragon rising into the air, Gui Bugui laughed and then said to himself: "You bumped into the iron plate. When it comes to lightning strikes, he hasn't been afraid of anyone..."

At this time, when Gui Buguizheng was about to continue to go to the last Jinchuan Gate, he suddenly heard someone saying to him not far away: "Is it the elder immortal? I didn't expect to see the elder immortal here... The lower official Li Jinglong had seen the elder immortal." While speaking, a military officer wearing armor and his subordinates ran towards Gui Bugui.

The person who came was Li Jinglong, the general who had been defeated repeatedly with King Yan Zhu Di. After seeing Gui Bugui, he led his people to the old guy, then knelt directly on the street and gave a big gift to Gui Bugui.

"Isn't this General Li? Is it still a thought to come out so late?" Gui Bugui smiled and looked at Li Jinglong, who had finished delivering his salute.

The two met in the palace, and Li Jinglong even went over to pay a big gift to him. Although this person was a little incompetent, the old guy didn't hit the smiley person, so it was not easy to treat him. However, I heard that his official position was demoted several levels in a row and had not appeared in the palace for a long time.

"What general? Jinglong is just a defeated general." After sighing, Li Jinglong continued to smile and said to Gui Bugui: "Thanks to your Majesty's grace to not kill him, he arranged his subordinates to be the city gate official at Jinchuan Gate. The subordinates had just gone to the Ministry of War to receive the signing tickets and food. He was preparing to return to Jinchuan Gate, and happened to meet the old immortal chief.

I don’t know if there is any explanation for the vision in the palace just now. I saw a giant dragon taking off, which should be a sign of good luck..."

"Good luck..." Gui Bugui smiled and continued to Li Jinglong: "The general is now the city guarding general of Jinchuan Gate? Then I saved it from running..."

While speaking, the old guy gave Li Jinglong the last one on his body a cloth bag filled with a mixed medicine powder. Then he continued, "This is the powder I prepared from the old man. After returning to Jinchuan Gate, he sprinkled the powder in his pocket on the wolf manure.

When you encounter the Yan army siege, just light up the wolf smoke and don’t have any contact with the Yan army. I will come to reinforce later. Originally, I would have to go for a trip myself. Since I met an adult, I can save my energy."

Li Jinglong hurriedly put away his cloth pocket. Just when he wanted to continue to be polite, Gui Bugui was still thinking about the lightning just now. After he lit up a few words, he used the Five Elements Escape Technique to disappear in front of Li Jinglong, and appeared in the position in the palace where he had just been struck by lightning.

At this time, dozens of eunuchs and guards had gathered here, and a deep pit had appeared on the ground in front of Zhenghe Hall.

Three dead bodies with severe burns were lying outside the pit, and Zheng Jun, the close-fitting Jinyiwei guard beside the emperor, was leading people to inspect the dead bodies.

"Shi Wanzhong, Li Benyuan and Lei Xiao were all killed by lightning and had no other wounds on their bodies. Go back and report to His Majesty."

After Zheng Jun checked the dead body and explained the cause of death to the eunuch beside him, he happened to see Gui Bugui appear in front of him. Zheng Qianhu hurried to Gui Bugui's side and said, "The old immortal grew up at the right time, there was lightning just now..."

"Someone controlled lightning to strike the palace, and was beaten back by Wu Mian. I saw this old man..." Gui Bugui smiled and glanced at the three corpses and said, "These are those three unlucky people, right? He was doing a job in the palace, who would have thought he would be struck by lightning..."

"You old man, you guessed it right, but the lightning that had just happened was striking on the three of them." Zheng Jun also looked back at the three corpses, lowered his voice and continued: "When it comes to the three of them being struck by lightning, this is also strange. The three of them are the fine works of the King of Yan... If the King of Yan wanted the warlock to perform magic, why should he slash his fine works?"
