Chapter 99: The twilight spring rain destroys its plan
The Ba people are now unable to attack the city defenses outside Zhuti Pass, and the plan of Master Zhu Tian to attack the east and west was actually discovered. Yaerdan couldn't help but be furious and furious! But he was helpless...
The two Bashu army fought fiercely in front of Zhuti Pass this day, and saw that the corpse was abandoned like a mountain in front of Zhuti Pass at this time... The sun was about to go down, but at this moment, there was a sudden cloud of fire in the sky! And I heard a few thunders, and then a heavy rain came!
The offensive was already extremely unsatisfactory, but this rain moistened the stones on the city wall, which greatly reduced the rock climbing skills of Ba people today! I knew that today's under Zhuti Pass would be futile. In desperation, Yardan had to call the gold and withdraw his troops for the time being.
When Mo Di and Zhu Tiguan saw that the Ba people had retreated, they knew that they had won the first battle, and they couldn't help but rush to the outer city to the top of the city and pushed all the bodies of the Ba people who died in the wall city off the outer city.
This sudden twilight spring rain only turned the blood of the pawns piled up at the stone walls of the outer city into a pool of blood. Thousands of corpses were chaoticly laid under the city, as if they had been more than half of the city's height.
The Shu people in the city were cheering and shouting at the retreating Ba people. It was very close to mocking... When Mo Di returned to the city tower from the foot of the mountain, he ran directly to the city tower.
"Brother!...Ba Ren was defeated!...We won!"
I saw Mo Zhai also broke into the hall happily and saw that Wu Weiyi was alone, paced back and forth in the hall, but it seemed a little restless!
Seeing this, Mo Zhai asked him in confusion:
"Now that Ba thief was beaten by us, he lost a big loss. The eldest brother should be happy, but why is he so depressed here?......Is the eldest brother feeling compassion for those Ba people again?!"
When Wu Weiyi saw Zhimodi enter the house, he just frowned and shook his head while wavering his hand at him:
"Hey... Now that the victory or defeat is not decided, how can you be happy?..."
After hearing this, Mo Zhai became even more confused. Logically speaking, since he won this victory today, how can he say that the city has not decided on the outcome?
"Brother!...why are you... saying this again?"
Wu Weiyi didn't tell Mo Zhai in detail, and walked under the eaves of the city tower. Looking at the late spring rain in the sky, he shook his head helplessly. He also carried his back on his back and said to Mo Zhai with concern:
"Mo Zhai... take the princess out of the south of the city quickly... If Zhutiguan is not protected, be sure to escort the princess to Yelang..."
"Brother?! You... are you talking nonsense now? In today's battle, Zhu Ti was under the planning of you and me, and it was as solid as a decisive thing. At this time of great victory, it was just to boost the might of the army, share the same hatred with the people in the city, and to protect the last territory of Shu Kingdom! Brother... Why give up easily now?"
After hearing this, Wu Weiyi just kept shaking his head, staring at the spring rain, and whispered:
"I'm afraid... I won't give you and me this day... Mozi, did you see the corpses of the Ba people under the outer city?"
"That's natural... I don't know what the corpses of these Ba people are concerned about?"
"I know that the Ba people's attack must be fierce this time, so I specially sent people to prepare many fire-induced objects such as boiling oil and pine resin. They were used to burn the corpses under the city so that they would not pile up and exhaust the layers... But now, this evening rain happened to come... I'm afraid... it will be another fierce battle tonight..."
After hearing this, Mo Zhai suddenly realized that Wu Weiyi’s concerns are not unreasonable. If he was called Yardan at this moment, I am afraid that the opportunity will be accelerated tonight, collecting the bodies, and preparing to attack again at night!
"Mo Di... I'm asking you for the princess. If Zhu Tiguan really made a mistake..."
When Mo Zhai heard Wu Weiyi say this, he was shocked again, and then he interrupted him with snatch:
"Brother!... Although you and I have no blood relationship, Zhai has long regarded my elder brother as the only close relative... Although we cannot live together, we want to die together! How can Zhai leave my elder brother alone here and live alone!... If it is really unfaithful... Then the three of us will open the south gate together and run away! How good?!"
But Wu Weiyi turned around and shook his head, gently patted Mo Zhai's back with his hand, and continued to speak to him in a whisper:
"Actually... I don't hide it from my brother! I have thought so just now, but... Wu has given this fate, so-called 'being entrusted by someone, and ending up with someone's affairs!' If I escaped at this moment, what should the people in Zhutiguan here do?... Moreover, I remembered the Jingmahe Ferry that day, and Master Zhu Tian also said that all these things are actually for me... If I say this, if I really follow you two to flee south... I am afraid that even you will not be able to escape at that time!"
"Brother...it would be better to send other people here to escort the princess south, and you and my brother will survive and die together with Zhutiguan!"
After hearing this, Wu Weiyi pushed Mo Zhai out the door and said angrily to him impatiently:
"Nothing! If you don't leave, how can the princess believe it! I'm afraid that by then... it's OK!...No need to say too much! Brother... It's useless even if you stay here! Go quickly and leave quickly!"
After Wu Weiyi said that, he closed the door of the main hall of the city tower and locked Mo Zhai outside the house. Mo Zhai raised his hand and clasped his fists and knocked hard. However, no matter how he called, Wu Weiyi in the hall never moved!
At this time, when the soldiers guarding outside the hall saw this, they all looked at Mo Zhai with a puzzled look! Mo Zhai swept over with his own light, knowing that no matter how he calls, it will be useless, and instead it will make the soldiers around him suspicious.
So Mo Zhai had to temporarily hold back his fists, endure the sadness, and walk all the way to the Feng Shui magician's house downstairs.
When we arrived at the gate of the house where Du Yu lived, we saw that Du Yu had been waiting in front of the door, anxiously waiting for news from the city.
"Mo Di!...I heard that there were calls everywhere outside the city wall, but Zhu Tiguan was saved?... And what happened to your elder brother?!... Why did you come alone? Where are others now?!"
Mo Zhai thought for a long time, but the words came to his mouth but swallowed them into his stomach... In the end, he had to hesitate and said to Du Yu with a guilty look on his face:
"Du...Miss Du Yu...Brother asked Mo Zhai to take you to the south gate first. Now the Ba people have been defeated by our army. In order to avoid Zhu Ti Hou's obstruction, he... let Zhai take the princess leave first... By then, the eldest brother will join us in the city again!"
After hearing this, Du Yu felt that Mo Di was talking hesitantly, and he was a little confused... Now, Zhu Ti Hou had already sent someone to Yelang, and he might come to Zhu Ti Pass soon. As soon as the envoy arrived, they would naturally set off for a trip, but why bother to leave without authorization?!
When Du Yu thought of this, he suddenly became suspicious. At this moment, he only listened to her and heard a laugh from behind:
"Oh! I never thought that Mr. Wu from your family was also a little familiar with the art of divination and Eight Trigrams?"
Mo Zhai and Du Yu looked back and it turned out that it was the Feng Shui warrior who was saying something crazy! Seeing this, Mo Zhai immediately refuted:
"Mr. Wu's life is the least trusting of you, those who are strange and powerful! Don't talk nonsense here!"
"Haha... Could it be that your gentleman has the ability to see the heavens? Yesterday I divined a divination for this place, which is the hexagram of Liu Chong and Liuhe. There is a stalemate in the north, but the south is the way to survive! First, then good, first, difficult, then easy!...Dui is water, which controls the north... It seems... Now that the spring rain is coming, I am afraid it will be a bad thing! It is better to go to the south gate to avoid it temporarily, and you can expect a way to survive!"
After hearing this, Mo Zhai was shocked! He suddenly felt that this person was really unfathomable. How could Mo Zhai think of it? This person was just a casual divination, and he learned about the benefits and harms of the twilight spring rain here!
