Hearing Chen Liqiu's words, the twelve loyal and brave captains responded in unison, turned around and rushed towards the hall.
"Wait," Chang Sheng hurriedly shouted to stop him. When everyone stopped, he turned to Chen Liqiu and said, "Third senior brother, there are probably thousands of people in Pingkangfang right now. Once the fire breaks out, everyone will be destroyed."
"Both the jade and the stone will be destroyed?" Chen Liqiu laughed angrily, "Hahahaha, apart from the prostitutes, there are also clients in this building. Tell me, where is the jade?"
"Even if they are not good people, their crimes will not lead to death," Chang Sheng urged urgently, "Third senior brother, Zhuge Kongming burned the vine armor soldiers and lost their lives. As a lesson learned from the past, they are not worth what you do."
"Zhuge Liang burned 30,000 people to death, how many of them are here?" Chen Liqiu disagreed.
"If you really burn down Pingkangfang, you will be in big trouble." Changsheng Haosheng was helpless.
Chen Liqiu pointed to the large number of corpses of officers and soldiers lying dead on the street, "Lao Wu, why are you still confused? I have caused great trouble and there is no turning back."
Seeing that Chen Liqiu did not change his mind, Qin Chuan and others rushed into the hall without hesitation, smashed the oil lamps, took out candles, and set fires everywhere.
Tianganwuzao refers to the late autumn season. Pingkangfang is a wooden building with many brocade furnishings and many places on fire. By the time the twelve loyal and brave captains rushed out of the hall, the entire Pingkangfang was already on fire.
At this time, the only way to escape was to jump from the second floor. However, at this critical moment, few people could stay awake. Seeing the fire starting downstairs, everyone in the building fled to higher ground.
Seeing this situation, Changsheng complained endlessly, and everyone in the building was afraid that none of them would survive.
What worries him the most is Chen Liqiu. At this time, Chen Liqiu is so angry and violent that he is almost crazy and can do anything.
After all the twelve loyal and brave captains returned, Chen Liqiu said seriously, "We have killed all the nearby government officials. It will take at least a quarter of an hour for them to mobilize the garrison in the outer city. You guys should get out of the city immediately and protect yourselves."
"I am willing to advance and retreat together with the general, and live and die together." Everyone said in unison.
Seeing how loyal everyone was to Chen Liqiu, Chang Sheng was secretly frightened. It had only been more than half a year since Chen Liqiu joined the army. How could he have made such a group of brothers who shared life and death together.
"I won't need you for the next thing, I will do it myself," Chen Liqiu said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
"Don't leave!" everyone said in unison.
After a brief and urgent thought, Chen Liqiu said seriously, "We have already rebelled, and there is no possibility of turning back. You should leave the city immediately and rush back to the far distance. There are still three thousand of our troops there. When you return, immediately raise troops and attack with thunder. We can’t capture Shenzhou by hiding our ears, but Shenzhou has troops and no food, so we still need to capture Pingzhou. With these two cities, we have the capital to survive.”
After hearing Chen Liqiu's words, everyone was gearing up and excited.
Chen Liqiu added, "The imperial court must at least get the right time to trace our identity, and it will take one day to deliver the decree. The news will not reach Shenzhou within two days. The soldiers are very fast, so you must seize the time."
"Okay, let's go back to the camp first, gather the troops and horses, and wait for the general's return." Yu Xiaohe said.
"Don't wait for me," Chen Liqiu shook his head and waved his hands, "I don't know when I can return. Let's go. Let's go now."
Everyone knew the priorities, and without any further delay, they saluted Chen Liqiu and then clasped their fists at Changsheng and said, "Fifth Master, the general will leave it to you."
After Chang Sheng bowed his head in return, everyone turned around and ran away.
After watching everyone disappear into the street, Chen Liqiu turned around and ran in the opposite direction.
Changsheng cast his body method and followed him.
"Lao Wu, please stop following me," Chen Liqiu said calmly, "You are now from Longhu Mountain. We owe them a huge favor. Once your identity is exposed, they will inevitably be implicated."
"It's okay, Third Senior Brother, I've always covered my face." Changsheng said.
"If you don't want others to be ignorant, you have to do nothing yourself," Chen Liqiu said. "The more you participate, the deeper you will get. Leave as soon as possible. I will handle the rest by myself."
"Third senior brother, you can't handle it yourself." Changsheng shook his head and said.
Hearing Changsheng's words, Chen Liqiu frowned and tilted his head.
"I have read the account. Those seven people are not ordinary people. There must be experts in caring for the homes and homes in their houses. You need help." As Changsheng spoke, he turned back to look at Ping Ping, who had already ignited a fire. In Kangfang, the fire spread faster than he expected. At this time, the entire Pingkangfang was a sea of flames, and there was no possibility of extinguishing it.
Seeing Changsheng turning around frequently, Chen Liqiu guessed what he was thinking and asked coldly, "Are you blaming me for burning them to death?"
Chen Liqiu was furious. Chang Sheng did not dare and could not bear to refute, so he could only whisper, "Third Senior Brother, isn't this a bit too much?"
"I was the one who killed them all. I bear the charge of killing innocent people indiscriminately!" Chen Liqiu said seriously, "But have you ever thought about it? Just because they slandered loyal ministers and sent the daughters of ministers into prostitution, Pingkangfang was ruined. After being burned, princes and ministers were killed, will the court dare to rebuild Pingkangfang from now on? Will it still dare to slander loyal ministers unscrupulously? Will it dare to force the ministers' female relatives into prostitution again? "
Hearing Chen Liqiu's words, Changsheng was shocked. What Chen Liqiu said was something he had never thought about. However, when he was looking through the account books, he had seen the list of female dependents who were assigned to Pingkangfang. In the past month alone, There are nearly a hundred people there. Pingkangfang is a place where good girls are forced into prostitution and where filth and evil practices are hidden. Burning it can indeed shock and alert the court and avoid future troubles.
"There are some things that good people can't do, only bad people can do. I will be the bad person, and I will bear all the charges." Chen Liqiu raised his eyebrows and said.
Chang Sheng is speechless.
At this time, everyone in the city already knew that something had happened in Pingkangfang, and the government also sent officers and soldiers to start a curfew. Except for the patrolling officers and soldiers, there were not many people on the street.
Chen Liqiu must have been to Chang'an before and was very familiar with the streets of the city. He walked around the streets and alleys, and did not dodge when he encountered patrolling officers and soldiers on the way. He directly went up to them and slashed them with his sword.
Chang Sheng would also take action when encountering officers and soldiers, but he did not kill them, but only wounded them. Chen Liqiu did not kill these people. At first Chang Sheng didn't know why, but later he discovered the reason why Chen Liqiu allowed him to stay. The reason for the death was to lure the officers and soldiers to the north, so as to buy time for the twelve loyal and brave lieutenants to evacuate.
After a while, Chen Liqiu came to the door of a luxurious house, which was an official's residence. The three characters "Shang Shu's Mansion" were written on the door plaque. There were four officers and soldiers on guard in front of the door.
Chen Liqiu did not climb over the wall and break into the house, but directly killed the officers and soldiers, kicked down the door and broke in through the main entrance.
Changsheng was responsible for greeting the officers and soldiers guarding the courtyard, while Chen Liqiu marched straight in to fetch people from the backyard.
When Changsheng knocked down all the guards and soldiers and rushed them to the backyard, Chen Liqiu had already pulled the minister off the bed. This man was an old man in his fifties. The one who was hiding at the foot of the bed and screaming was a young man in his early twenties, tugging on the quilt and hiding at the foot of the bed. concubine.
Chen Liqiu grabbed the old man's hair and made him face Miss Zhao directly, "Do you recognize her?"
The old man was dragged off the bed and was already in shock. When he saw Miss Zhao's bleeding face, he was so frightened that he peed his pants. He was shaking like chaff and could not speak.
Seeing him like this, Chen Liqiu turned to look at the concubine on the bed, "Is this person Qian Yu, the Minister of War?"
The concubine was so frightened that her face turned pale and she nodded repeatedly.
"She is the woman you humiliated in Pingkangfang not long ago," Chen Liqiu grabbed Qian Shangshu's hair and said solemnly, "How dare you touch my woman?"
At the moment of life and death, not everyone can maintain their integrity. The Minister Qian was so frightened that he begged for mercy with a trembling voice, "Hero, spare your life, no, no, no... I don't know... Those who don't know are not guilty..."
Chen Liqiu did not answer, and directly leveled Zhu Xuanjian and put it on Qian Shangshu's neck. He did not give Qian Shangshu a good blow, but slowly applied force, breaking the skin and entering the flesh bit by bit. Qian Shangshu struggled desperately and wailed in pain.
After the blood vessel was cut, blood spurted out, covering Chen Liqiu's body and face. Chen Liqiu seemed to be possessed by a demon and did not dodge. He exerted force on his hand and sneered ferociously, "Zi Yu, did you see it?"
In Changsheng's impression, Chen Liqiu was handsome, calm and casual, always smiling, and liked to hold grass in his mouth. But at this time, Chen Liqiu completely subverted his previous understanding, and he even began to feel scared. .
After cutting off Qian Shangshu's head, Chen Liqiu did not throw it away. Instead, he tied it to his waist and quickly left, rushing to the next place.
Changsheng followed Chen Liqiu fearfully. Of course Chen Liqiu would not hurt him, but he was really afraid of Chen Liqiu. Miss Zhao's experience had a great impact on Chen Liqiu, and Chen Liqiu had already fallen into hysterical madness.
It would not be wrong to say that Chen Liqiu has completely lost his mind. He is very clear-headed, including the route of travel and the order of seeking revenge. He does not take any detours. After killing one person, he immediately rushes to the next place, and every time before taking action, he will ask the identity of the other party. Naturally, he was not afraid of killing by mistake, but was afraid of letting the real culprit escape.
In less than an hour, Chen Liqiu already had five heads hanging on his waist. His body and face were covered in blood, and his true appearance could no longer be seen.
Changsheng once read the list and knew that there was still a Duke of Hong and a Duke of Qi. The minister was only a third-rank official, but the person who held the title of Duke was at least a first-rank official. The status of the prince was more respected and he was a relative of the emperor. , there must be masters in these two places.
However, it turned out that his guess was not entirely correct. The Duke of Qi had a hereditary title and there were not many officers and soldiers in the house. At this time, it was halfway through the fourth update. After killing five people, Chen Liqiu's anger subsided slightly. The sword pointed at his head, and he walked away with his head raised.
Now there is only the last Prince Hong on the list. After leaving the Duke's Mansion, Chen Liqiu changed his route to the northwest and moved forward silently.
Changsheng followed behind, full of doubts in his heart. Chen Liqiu had not taken the wrong path before, but this time he took the road back. However, he did not know where Prince Hong lived and where Chen Liqiu was going. He could only Follow behind.
Chen Liqiu had mostly walked on the main roads before, but this time he took the small roads. The alleys were getting narrower and narrower. As he walked forward, Chen Liqiu looked around and seemed to be looking for something.
Seeing a remote dilapidated house in front of him, Chen Liqiu stepped forward, turned off the lock and stepped inside.
This is a dilapidated house that has been abandoned for a long time. No one has lived in it for a long time, and the yard is overgrown with weeds.
Naturally, the county prince would not live in such a place, but Changsheng didn't think too much about it, thinking that Chen Liqiu wanted to put Miss Zhao's body and heads here temporarily.
But when he turned around and closed the door, Chen Liqiu suddenly struck from behind and hit the Jade Pillow point on the back of Changsheng's head.
Changsheng was unprepared and was hit hard. Due to the sudden trauma, the spiritual energy in his body instinctively reacted to protect his body. Although he was dizzy and dizzy after being beaten by Chen Liqiu, he did not faint.
The words "Third Senior Brother, what are you doing?" were already on his lips, but Chang Sheng swallowed them down because he suddenly understood what Chen Liqiu wanted to do, "Third Senior Brother, don't even think about leaving me."
"When did you master the Hunyuan Divine Art?" Chen Liqiu was shocked.
"The last time you came to see me, I had already practiced." Changsheng opened the courtyard door, "Let's go, it's almost dawn."
"Do you know who Prince Hong is?" Chen Liqiu asked.
"Those who bully my third sister-in-law." Changsheng replied.
Chen Liqiu was deeply moved by Chang Sheng's answer. He clenched his right fist and gently beat Chang Sheng's chest, "Little thing, good brother!"
"Let's go quickly, Third Senior Brother." Chang Sheng urged.
"Prince Hong is the uncle of the current emperor. The palace he lives in is adjacent to the palace. Our trip is very dangerous and it will be difficult to escape unscathed." Chen Liqiu said.
"If you retreat when you are faced with difficulties, you will never have peace of mind in your life. If you leave, the worst-case scenario is that you will die there together..."
