After Ling Ning entered Lizhou City, he did not wander around, but came to the Guancang area.
I saw a large number of soldiers patrolling outside the official warehouse, guarding and guarding tightly.
Not to mention hundreds of people, one or two thousand people can't break into the official warehouse, unless they can fly to the sky and escape.
Ling Ning ran here regardless of the fighting at Lishuiguan, just to burn the food in the official warehouse and cut off the rations of Huang Yuanzhang's army. So if he wasn't completely sure, Ling Ning would definitely not come.
After observing the location and environment of the official warehouse, he left here.
There is a shop just one street away from Heguancang, which is the Shen family's grain shop.
Ling Ning came to the shop quietly. There was no one in the shop, but there were three large wooden barrels filled with oil.
Watching the night fall outside the window, Ling Ning waved her hand, and densely packed rats appeared in the originally empty room.
There are 3867 of them!
Rats swarmed around Ling Ning, covering the three rooms. Even the tables and beams were covered with rats.
The mice raised their front paws, stared at Ling Ning, and listened to Ling Ning's instructions.
Subsequently,
As soon as Ling Ning waved his hand, the rats jumped into the oil barrel in an orderly manner, soaked in oil, and then crawled out.
Ling Ning opened the door and walked out.
He looked towards the official warehouse a street away, looking at the heavily guarded guards, a sneer appeared on Ling Ning's lips.
This time, he only needed to go out on his own to burn down the official warehouse in Lizhou City.
And these mice are his tools.
"Little guys, go ahead!"
Following Ling Ning's gentle words, the rats filed out, crossed the street in the dark, got into the official warehouse, and then walked along the wall. The patrolling soldiers did not pay attention at all.
After all, this is a small mouse. Even if you see it, you are just surprised.
In this way, more than 3,000 rats entered the official granary, then dispersed and crawled towards different granaries.
There are ten large granaries in the entire official warehouse, filled with grain.
Soon, soldiers on patrol discovered the rat, which immediately caused a commotion.
"Where did the mouse come from?"
"There are them here too! There are so many!"
"I have never seen so many rats. Are these rats stupid? They know there is food in the granary, so do they come here to steal food?"
"Huh? Why is the mouse wet? It hasn't rained?"
“…”
The soldiers were surprised. The captain, who was not afraid of mice, picked up one and observed it carefully.
The mouse was picked up and screamed in fright. The other mice were frightened and immediately fled into the granary. This was an instinctive reaction.
The captain picked up the mouse with his right hand and wiped it with his left hand. Then he found that his fingers were sticky and slippery, not like water.
The captain put his fingers in front of his nose and smelled it. The smell of animal fat mixed with vegetable fat hit his nose.
"ah!"
The captain screamed in surprise. Because of panic, he lost his grip on the mouse and dropped it directly to the ground.
The freed mouse ran away quickly.
"No! The rats are all covered in oil! Quickly, kill these rats!" the school captain let out a sharp shout.
The soldiers in the official warehouse were shocked.
At this moment, outside the official warehouse, countless rats with their tails set on fire rushed into the official warehouse!
The tail caught fire, and the fire spread to the rats' bodies. The rats were so frightened that they ran around like crazy and rushed into the official warehouse. And these rats were afraid of the soldiers, so they burrowed where they could avoid them.
The granary is the first.
Just like that, the burning rat got into the granary and met other rats whose whole bodies were soaked in oil. Then the fire spread and ignited the other rats.
Soon, the fire spread to many rats. Under the burning flames, the rats became even more crazy, running around and even getting into the food.
There is all dry food here, and when it encounters an open flame, it will instantly burst into flames.
In less than five minutes, fires broke out in six granaries, and black smoke filled the sky.
This frightened the soldiers guarding the official warehouse. They didn't see any enemies, but countless rats set the granary on fire.
"Quickly, put out the fire! Put out the fire!"
The soldiers yelled and began to put out the fire in a hurry.
For a time, the entire official warehouse was in chaos.
soon,
The raging fire soared into the sky, awakening the people of Lizhou City. Everyone opened their windows and looked in the direction of Guancang, and they were all frightened.
The official warehouse actually caught fire?
Now things are getting serious.
The governor of Lizhou was woken up and learned that there was a fire in the official warehouse. He was so frightened that he quickly asked: "Is it possible that the rebel Ling Ning led troops into the official warehouse and burned the food? Is Ling Ning here?"
"My lord, it's not the rebel Ling Ning. I didn't see any rebels, it's... countless rats. They burned down the official warehouse!" the guard reported.
The governor of Lizhou was stunned for a moment and cursed: "Rat?! How is that possible!"
"It's really a mouse! The whole body was soaked in oil, and after it burned, it ran around! The mouse was small in size, and it got into the granary and ignited the grain! I don't dare to lie!" the guard replied.
The governor of Lizhou was agitated and suddenly thought of the rumors that Ling Ning was following the way of heaven when he rebelled, and that God had given him special abilities to control wild beasts.
Could it be that he ordered the rat army to burn down the granary?
"Crazy, really crazy! Quick, put out the fire, put out the fire!"
The governor of Lizhou picked up his coat and ran towards the door, shouting at the same time.
...
At this time, Ling Ning had climbed over the wall and entered the Shen family's house, knocking on Shen Yueru's boudoir door.
"Who is it?" Shen Yueru was already asleep. The knock on the door woke her up, so she asked.
Ling Ning smiled and said: "Guess who I am, there will be a reward for guessing correctly!"
Surprise immediately appeared on Shen Yueru's face, she jumped out of bed and opened the door. She saw her longing lover outside the door, so she rushed over.
Ling Ning picked up Shen Yueru and closed the door with her hands. The two quickly came to the bed, letting their passion burn fiercely.
I don’t know how long it took, but the rain stopped and the wind stopped.
There were beads of sweat on Shen Yueru's pretty face. She looked very tired. She asked, "My lord, why did you come to Lizhou City?"
Ling Ning smiled and said, "I miss you."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Yueru felt as if she had eaten honey, and her heart was filled with sweetness.
"Is everything okay at Lishui Pass? I heard that the imperial troops have begun to attack Lishui Pass." Shen Yueru said worriedly.
Ling Ning replied: "Don't worry, everything is under my control. The court wants to destroy me, it's a wishful thinking. It's getting late, go to bed early, I need to leave early tomorrow morning. By the way, I came in secretly , it’s so late, I didn’t alert your grandpa.”
It's not that he doesn't want to be alarmed, but he doesn't trust anyone and is afraid that his whereabouts will be leaked.
So he climbed over the wall, stole incense and jade, and left quietly without anyone noticing. Only Shen Yueru accepted the hundreds of millions of gifts from Ling Ning.
Shen Yueru hugged Ling Ning tightly and said, "Then you must be careful!"
Ling Ning patted her shoulder and started to rest.
The next morning, it was bright and clear.
Ling Ning had already left Shen's house and went to the breakfast shop to have breakfast. At the same time, she learned from other diners the final result of the fire in the official warehouse last night.
Seven of the ten granaries in the official warehouse were burned, and only three remained intact.
But Ling Ning still felt a little regretful. If only nine seats could be burned, that would be perfect.
But seven will be seven. Burning these seven granaries will drastically reduce the food and fodder for the 250,000-strong army, which will definitely cause panic. Huang Yuanzhang, the Hundred Warlord, will definitely throw the table and bench in anger.
After breakfast, Ling Ning left Lizhou City and quickly returned to Lishuiguan.
Next, he has to deal with Huang Yuanzhang's army!
