Ye Heng looked around and did not answer.

The snow wolf stared around, and suddenly said vigilantly: "Who is it?"

"Come out, who will take the place of Su Song to preside over the overall situation now?" Ye Heng said calmly.

A black shadow suddenly appeared in front of the two, clasped his fists and said, "Brother Ye, my name is Zhang Chu, and now I am in charge of secretly defending Pingcheng." ”

Ye Heng nodded and said: "Zhang Chu, find the five most powerful people from among you to come out and form a flexible rescue team with the snow wolf, this task is more dangerous, because you have to face the masters in the enemy army, and the masters in the city are limited, so I can only ask you for help." ”

"No problem, Brother Ye, wait a while. After Zhang Chu agreed, he turned around and disappeared into the dark.

"Who are these?" asked Snow Wolf suspiciously.

"This is the men I brought with me from a friend, and you forget that I was alone for a few days when we came, and that's when they came with me. Ye Heng reminded.

"I didn't mean that, I was trying to ask, what kind of profession are they? There was an aura of danger to me from them, but fortunately there was no ill will towards us. Maybe I'm too sensitive, but I'm not suspicious of them. Snow Wolf said.

Ye Heng smiled and said, "I understand what you mean, your feeling is not wrong, they are a group of people with very special identities, because, their profession is to kill people, understand?"

"You mean, they're killers?" the snow wolf suddenly realized.

"Yes! Although they are killers, they are not cold-blooded, and they are guarding the night of Pingcheng! The soldiers and civilians of the whole city can sleep peacefully every night at such a special time, just because of their existence. Ye Heng explained.

"I understand, no wonder there were so many masters from the Taiyin Sect that night, but many of them died inexplicably, and a few of them joined forces with us to deal with the left protector of the Taiyin Sect. I knew they existed, but I really didn't expect them to be killers. Wolf King, I just don't understand where you found so many clever killers, did you pay to hire them?" Snow Wolf asked.

"More than 100 killers, how did I hire them? They came of their own free will. Ye Heng said with a smile.

"Wolf King, I know this is your secret, I shouldn't continue to ask deeply, please don't get me wrong, I'm really just curious, I don't believe you. Snow Wolf deliberately explained.

"Actually, when you killed Wu Delin, you wanted to ask, didn't you? Don't think I don't know, you've been secretly watching out for them, afraid that they will be unfavorable to me, aren't you?" Ye Heng asked with a smile.

The snow wolf smiled embarrassedly, nodded slightly, and said, "I hate it, you knew why you didn't tell me earlier, causing me to worry about it for so long!"

"Even if I tell you, don't you still want to go out in secret? It's for their good not to tell you, to let them know that you've discovered them, and to force them to keep improving their ability to hide. Now that you're at ease, you're relieved, and you're no longer hostile to them, and you won't be able to create the kind of dangerous aura that naturally emanates from them. However, they have now passed the test, as you can rarely find out about their existence now, so it's time to introduce you. Ye Heng explained.

"Wolf King, you don't blame me, do you? Because I have lived in the Taiyin Sect for several years, I have developed the habit of guarding against danger and being careful in everything, and I have not told you about this matter beforehand, so I have made my own decisions. The snow wolf observed Ye Heng's face and asked.

"What are you doing watching me so carefully? How could I blame you. I know you're doing it for my good, actually, there are some things I should have told you earlier. Well, when I have some free time, I will tell you about the people and things that are related to me. Take these killers, for example, they come from a killer organization called Fourteen Plum Blossoms, and their leader is one of mine...... How to describe it, brothers, friends, and clansmen who can be fully trusted. Ye Heng said with a heartfelt heart, thinking of Kong Ying, he couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.

"Wolf King, you smile like this, it looks so good when you laugh!" said Snow Wolf as he reached out and touched Ye Heng's face.

"Really, I don't think you're good-looking, I can't get enough of it every day. Ye Heng said with a smile.

"If you hate it, it will make me happy!" said the snow wolf in a rare coquettishness.

"What I said is true!" Ye Heng hugged her soft shoulders and said emotionally.

The snow wolf didn't speak, looked up at Ye Heng with affection, and snuggled into his arms.

"Ahem, that ...... Brother Ye, isn't it time for us to come?" Zhang Chu appeared in front of Ye Heng and the others with five people, and asked embarrassedly.

The snow wolf glanced at Ye Heng and hurriedly left his body.

Ye Heng smiled: "It's not in the way, Zhang Chu is bothering you." ”

"Don't bother, the boss explained it when I came, I want to listen to you for everything, and everything should be done for you. Zhang Chu said calmly. Weichang

Ye Heng nodded and said: "To be honest, you are now the most trusted person for me, so the responsibility on your shoulders will become heavier! When the morning dawns to start the war, your people have been keeping watch in secret all night, but they can't rest during the day." The five of them have to follow the snow wolf to intercept and kill the masters of the enemy army that may appear at any time, and your task is to keep a close eye on the whole city to prevent any enemy from infiltrating it, and once they find it, they will be wiped out immediately!"

"Brother Ye, thank you for looking up to us so much, and entrusting us with such an important matter! On behalf of all the brothers, I promise you that you will never let any enemy into the city!" Zhang Chu said with a straight chest.

Ye Heng patted Zhang Chu on the shoulder and said, "It's almost dawn, you go and greet the brothers for breakfast, and I will take the five of them to the room first." ”

Zhang Chu promised and turned to leave, and Ye Heng and the others walked towards the room.

Knowing that the war was going to start today, the cooks in the room came early to prepare breakfast, and no one wanted to let the soldiers go to the battlefield hungry. Therefore, today's breakfast is not only hearty, but also very generous.

"The city lord is here, sit down, I'll help you get breakfast!" A white girl saw Ye Heng and the others coming, and immediately led them to a big table, and then ran to help everyone get breakfast.

"It seems that the news of making you the lord of the city has spread in the city, and we will all follow you to see how high your salary is. Snow Wolf laughed.

Ye Heng shook his head and smiled: "Do you think I am willing to be the city lord? It's just that this is an extraordinary time, and if someone stands up to be the lord of the city at this time, the people of the whole city will feel that they have the backbone of the city and will feel hopeful. Well, who doesn't want to have hope. ”

"The lord of the city is right! Usually everyone doesn't feel anything, but when they suddenly heard Lord Gao announce that you have taken office as the city lord of our Pingcheng, everyone's hearts suddenly feel very steady. The white girl quickly brought breakfast for everyone, and immediately expressed her opinion after Ye Heng's words.

"Since you know that he is the lord of the city, why are you not afraid of him at all? I know that ordinary people will be very restrained when they see an official. Snow Wolf asked with a smile.

The white girl smiled and said, "How can a person who is willing to be the lord of Pingcheng at this time be a bad person? Everyone knows that when the rebels in some places come, the officials not only do not protect the people in the city, but are also the first to escape. Such an official will only oppress the people, and the people will be afraid of him. However, none of our adults in Heijo are deserters, and they are all protecting our city with their lives. After the war, the Ye City Lord came all the way to help us defend against the enemy, such a person will only make us grateful from the bottom of our hearts, how can we be afraid?"

"Okay, don't tease this little girl, let's eat quickly. Ye Heng saw that the girl put breakfast on the table, and immediately beckoned the snow wolf to eat.

"Lord of the city, you eat first, and I'll clean it up when I'm done. The white girl said hello and turned around and went back to her own business.

"How does it feel to see the people in the city love you so much?" Ye Heng looked at Ye Heng and asked with a smile.

"It's a big responsibility!" Ye Heng replied with four words.

"Brother Ye, we will defend this city!" said one of the five killers suddenly. As killers, they don't have many words, and this occasional sentence must come from the heart.

Ye Heng looked at him and said sonorously: "Yes, we will definitely be able to defend this city!" Everyone eat quickly, and we will go to the city after eating." ”

The seven of them had a quick breakfast and immediately rushed to the West City Gate. This is the direction of the rebel commander, and it will probably be the most intense place for the battle.

Ye Heng came to the city wall, saw Gao Lang and Li Quan here, and asked, "How is the situation?"

"The rebels are preparing and are expected to attack soon. Gao Lang said with a solemn face.

"We already know who the current commander of the rebels is, it should be Han Kaiyuan of the Han family, this person's ability is above Wu Jing, and he is scheming, very difficult to deal with!" Li Quan said with the same ugly face.

Ye Heng smiled and said: "Two generals, now that we are defending the city, he has a thousand clever plans, as long as we don't go out of the city, what can he do?" The two generals should go to breakfast first, and when we are full, we will meet this scheming big man for a while!"

Ye Heng's calmness relaxed the two generals' originally somewhat apprehensive moods, the two laughed, and Gao Lang said: "The city lord is right, let's be a shrunken turtle today, I see how he Han Kaiyuan can do our thick turtle shell!"

"General Gao, this is a mistake! We should be hedgehogs curled up, he Han Kaiyuan is a very hungry dog, let's let him have no way to get out of his mouth, if he bites off, he will puncture his mouth!" Li Quan corrected.

"Hahahaha, General Li is right, we can't be turtles, let's just be hedgehogs! However, General Li, you said that Han Kaiyuan is a dog, I don't think it's appropriate! If you want me to say, he is not even as good as a dog. It is said that the son is not ugly, the dog is not poor, our Shuntian Empire gave birth to him and raised him, and now he is biting our empire in turn, saying that he is a dog, I think he is insulting the dog, he is at most an ungrateful mad dog!" Gao Lang said impassionedly.

"Since Han Kaiyuan is not even as good as a dog, what are we afraid of him? The two generals are going to have breakfast, and when they are full, we will clean him up!" Ye Heng couldn't help but smile and said.

"Okay, okay, let's go eat! Now I'm really feeling a little hungry, I don't know what the guy has cooked, I can eat more! Brother Ye Heng, you are really the material for the city lord, these three words will make me and General Li high-spirited. As soon as we wake up after practicing, I will announce to the whole city that you will take over as the city lord, and everyone will support you!" Gao Lang said excitedly.

"General Gao, is it a little early for you to declare? It was not dawn yet, so don't disturb the rest of the people in the whole country. Ye Heng said with some concern.

"What are you bothering about? Do you think that the people of the whole city will not be able to hear such a big movement outside the north city gate? You may not know that you are still in the hearts of the people, as if you are everyone's protector!" Gao Lang said excitedly.
