Chapter 229: Entering the City

"Isn't it too reckless for Mi Taishou to do this!" Ye Xianglun was about to walk out of the city tower, but was stopped by this county guard.

"Oh?"

Although Mi Taishou is the Great Chu Dazai and Shouchun Taishou, and in terms of jurisdiction and strategic position, Taishou is higher than the county guard, but the Taishou and the county guard belong to the same county, and they are even more equal in their positions.

Chu has six state capitals and one hundred and three counties, and the counties are divided into large counties and small counties, such as Yangcheng and Huangcheng belong to small counties, and Shouchun belongs to the northern large counties, but they are all under the jurisdiction of the state pastor.

This general is obviously Huangcheng Taishou, although he has some respect for Mi Taishou on the surface, but the actual manipulation of Huangcheng's military power has to be ordered by Taishou, so it is normal for him to make such an order, and it is normal to be a little embarrassed at this moment.

Receiving the objection of the Hongying general, Ye Xianglun unconsciously focused his attention on this general, and saw that his eyes were sharp, and the bridge of his nose was straight, not like a greedy and fearful person who did nothing, so he listened to him continue to speak with a respectful attitude.

"Today's Great Chu, there are Jinling and Gusu Chen soldiers in the north, Danyang wolf peeps in the west, and now Yangcheng has been broken, only Huangcheng can form a corner with Shouchun, Huangcheng is small, but the eighteen counties under its jurisdiction are Danyang grain arteries, now it is winter, there is no grain and grass in the wild, Danyang wants to fight for a long time, and Huangcheng must be the second target, if Huangcheng is broken, Shouchun is not only a lonely city difficult to defend, the northwest area will also become a place for Danyang troops unimpeded, at that time the entire northern part of Chu will also be in danger!"

Ye Xianglun heard the statement of the general Hongying, knew that he was not a general, and knew that if he wanted to move him, he had to be powerful, so he pondered for a while and retorted: "It is precisely because of this that the people of Yang City should be released into the city as soon as possible, the people who defend the city are mostly from civilians, and the war is just to survive for civilians, if Da Chu can't even seek this guarantee for them, what motivation do they have to defend their families and defend the country!"

"Although Huangcheng has more supplies than Yangcheng, it will definitely increase the burden on the soldiers in the city if it shelters so many people at once. Now the grain and grass in the city are donated as military salaries, and the people can barely survive food and clothing, how to ensure the survival of these people flowing into them, it is not necessary to deduct from the military salary, there are 30,000 soldiers in Huangcheng, and the daily military salary is a large amount, the military salary is insufficient, what strength do the soldiers have to defend the city!"

"Do you want to sacrifice so many people's lives for the sake of these foods!" Ye Xianglun realized that this general was just thinking about himself, so he smiled instead of being angry.

"At the time of war, the displacement of the people is inevitable, the loss of the people is small, the loss of the country is big, besides, these people are not without nowhere else to go except Huangcheng, the northern Hengduan Mountains are rich in wild things, with their own working ability, it is not difficult to survive, and Zhuzhou in the south has always been rich, although the distance is far away, begging along the way is not impossible!"

"Haha, as the general said, there are Jinling and Gusu Chen soldiers in the Hengduan Mountains, isn't it a sheep into the mouth of a tiger to go to the people, besides, the people have not eaten for a day and night, not to mention that there are Danyang attacking soldiers later, let them go south to beg, I am afraid that before they hit the road, they will be killed indiscriminately by the Danyang warlords! The loss of the people is small, and the loss of the country is big, what kind of ridiculous remarks, doesn't the general know that the people are the foundation of the country!"

“......”

After half an hour of arguing, and finally under the guarantee of Mi Taishou and the persuasion of Momen, the general Hongying finally agreed to let the people into the city, on the condition that this group of people would be difficult in Yangcheng, and then transferred to Shouchun to contain, Ye Xianglun knew that it was already a good result, so he no longer argued.

When the order to open the city was about to be given, a two-star violinist of Xiaoxiang Sect in the eastern night sky stepped on the note disc to report, asking Mi Taishou to return to Shouchun as soon as possible to preside over the situation in Shouchun, after Mi Taishou got the order, he hurriedly said goodbye and left, after Mi Taishou left, Ye Xianglun was originally worried that the Taishou would change his mind temporarily, but he didn't expect the Hongying general to immediately issue the order to open the city after landing on the city gate.

"Mr. Ye!"

"Mr. Ye!"

After getting the news of agreeing to enter the city, the people under the city wall cheered Ye Xianglun's name loudly, they knew that if Ye Xianglun had not come forward to negotiate, they would not have been valued by the Taishou of the city.

When the chain bell rang, the drawbridge of the moat was slowly lowered by the sergeants, and when the drawbridge was completely lowered, the people rushed towards the city, fortunately there were soldiers under the city to maintain order, otherwise the drawbridge would be unintentionally crushed by them.

After entering the city, Hongying Taishou also distributed the night's military salary to these people as promised, Ye Xianglun saw the eating scene of the citizens gobbling up the food after getting the food, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally did a good thing for the people, and the days of running for the past few days were finally not in vain.

"Mr. Ye, don't you want to eat some too?" At this time, Miss Mu and Ye Chen came to Ye Xianglun's side, and Miss Mu handed a piece of food and salary to Ye Xianglun in her hand, and looked at him tenderly.

"Leave it to Ye Chen to eat, I don't have an appetite!" Standing on the streets of Huangcheng and looking leisurely into the distance, Ye Xianglun felt that he had completely integrated into this world.

Since Ye Chen wants to take revenge in person, then at this moment, he is not in a hurry to find trouble with Mi Mou, Mi Mou fell into the hands of Danyang at this moment, it depends on how the Danyang Army disposes of it, with the identity of Mi Mou, it will not be slaughtered in public by the Danyang Army, as a qin master, even if he commits any unforgivable crimes, he will not be allowed to be dealt with by the warlord, not to mention that Mi Mou is still a disciple of Xiaoxiang Sect, if it is not nodded by Xiaoxiang Sect, they dare to deal with it privately, even if it is a warlord of a country, I am afraid that Xiaoxiang Sect will not let them go, after all, the dignity of the sect is far more important than the interests of all countries。

"It's a good thing to hand over Ye Chen for revenge, so that he will be more motivated to practice the guqin, even if he is his own disciple, he can't live under his own protection for the rest of his life, one day the two of them will become their own violinists!" After thinking of this section, Ye Xianglun had already made a plan in his heart, and after determining the whereabouts of Mi Mou, he would take this disciple around to seek medical treatment, this was his first task, as for his cultivation process, it would be said later.

"I'll go and see if there are any inns in the city, we can't let Miss Mu sleep on the streets like us!" Ye Xianglun greeted Miss Mu and the others and walked towards the streets of the city.

The hour has come to the end of the day, perhaps because of the war, the streets of Huangcheng are no longer as prosperous as when Ye Xianglun first arrived, the shops on the street are sparsely lit, but the scene in the store is very depressed, even if it is the busiest restaurant on weekdays, there are only a few people sitting in the store, Ye Xianglun is about to come to the end along the long street, and finally found an inn with half a door, after entering the inn door, after calling a few times, the innkeeper slowly walked out of the inner room, I heard that someone wanted to live in the hotel, the shopkeeper received Ye Xianglun with disbelief eyes, and after arranging the room, the shopkeeper personally sent Ye Xianglun out of the door。

Listening to the shopkeeper, the whole inn lived in his family, so Ye Xianglun picked a long time to pick two comfortable rooms in the inn, after returning to the street, Ye Xianglun led Miss Mu and the two over, the two rooms are next to each other, Miss Mu was afraid that Ye Xianglun would be hungry in the middle of the night, so she bought some snacks on the street and mentioned the inn.

Due to Ye Chen's inconvenience and need to be taken care of, Ye Xianglun and Ye Chen lived in a suite, which had a table of eight immortals and a few rattan chairs, and Ye Xianglun left Miss Mu to drink a cup of tea in the room.

"Why did Miss Mu run out alone?" Ye Xianglun was curious in his heart and never asked.

"My father, he ......," Miss Mu said as if she were pouring out her troubles.

"Then does Miss Mu already have a favorite man in her heart?" After Ye Xianglun listened, he mustered up the courage to ask leisurely.

"Then what do you say?" Miss Mu stared at Ye Xianglun without the slightest fear, with a smile on her face.

originally wanted to provoke Miss Mu, but Miss Mu's expression and eyes made Ye Xianglun a little flustered.

"Ahem, I said that the man that Miss Mu likes is probably in our room!" Ye Chen in the room seemed to have been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, and when he saw that Ye Xianglun was being teased, he couldn't help but want to help Ye Xianglun at this moment.

"Ah, why didn't I see it, could it be that person has the skill of stealth?" Miss Mu deliberately pretended to be stupid.

"It's on fire, it's on fire, it's on fire in the city!"

At this time, the shouts of the crowd suddenly came from the city, and then the city was bustling, and then there was a panic in the streets.

"How could there be a sudden fire?" Ye Xianglun pushed open the window, and there was indeed billowing smoke outside, and the place where the fire caught fire was not far from the inn.

"Someone can't think it's someone who is deliberately setting the fire!" Miss Mu pushed open another window and stuck her head out of the window.

"I'll go out and see!"

The strings were plucked, Ye Xianglun flew out of the window and hovered over the fire, he found that the flames came from a firewood pile, the firewood pile was next to the house, the wooden roof was already burning most of it, under the blowing of the wind, a piece of house next to it was afraid that it would soon be affected.
