Chapter 38 - The Uncle-Nephew Controversy

Puff โ€“

Grunt grunt โ€“

The man's head rolled next to Shi Xidu's head, and when his eyes met, Shi Xidu's screamed in horror.

"Ahhh!!h

Poofโ€”

The screams stopped abruptly, and the two frozen eyes were filled with extreme fear and disbelief.

Tuoba Yuan beheaded his colleagues who had been drinking and talking happily last night, and he was not sad. Although he was suppressed, his expression still overflowed with the joy of being in a desperate situation.

Get down on your knees and hold your sword in both hands.

"The last general Tuoba Yuan, meet the general. โ€

Yang Fengqing's sneer made Tuoba Yuan put his head against the blanket.

"You'll be with me from now on. โ€

"Yes. โ€

"I'll ask him something, and you go out first. โ€

"Yes. โ€

......

An hour later, a frantic Luo Daguang rushed into the tent in a hurry.

"My lord, we're rich!

"Twenty-three thousand war horses can feed 20,000 people for a month's worth of food, and 20,000 weapons, isn't it?"

"Forehead ......"

He glanced at Yang Fengqing with great resentment, and then swept over Tuoba Yuan.

"You take a few people to send these three letters back to the city, this one is for Bing'er, this one can only be opened when you and Chen Tianfeng are all present, and the last one is for Liu Changan. Be sure to get it before dark!"

"Yes! I'll go now!"

......

Binzhou City.

The situation is much better than it was two days ago, and some figures are starting to move around the streets again.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Gu Xuzhang's loud voice resounded inside and outside a certain room.

"What? The rest of the grain and grass can only be supplied for today? You were so calm a few days ago?

Xia Bing'er's demeanor was no longer as confident as yesterday, but she didn't worry too much.

"Since the occupation of Binzhou City, there have been some accidents every day. And Feng Qing specially told me not to worry about food and grass, so..."

Gu Xuzhang held his head in both hands, rubbed vigorously, and his face was constipated.

"It seems that women are still not suitable for the army, especially women who blindly believe in their sweethearts. โ€

Xia Bing'er blushed and defended.

"Uncle, what are you talking about?! Feng Qing said that if there is a way, there will definitely be a way!"

"I ...... Don't tell me about the kid who disappeared for two days!"

Xia Bing'er pouted and sat aside.

After Gu Xuzhang went back and forth a few times, he spoke again.

"Come with me! Before the Cangfeng Bandits attack the city, follow me now! If the Cangfeng Bandits attack the city, they won't be able to leave if they want to!"

Xia Bing'er didn't respond immediately, got up and walked slowly to the door, turned to look directly at Gu Xuzhang, and spoke in a dull voice.

"Uncle, have you forgotten what Feng Qing said?!"

"I haven't forgotten, but that kid just talks big things! For the past two days, I have only seen you busy day and night, and all the decrees have been issued from you. โ€

Xia Bing'er shook her head slightly.

"If it weren't for Feng Qing, no one in Binzhou City would have obeyed my orders!"

"No, no, a city that will fall sooner or later, some homeless people who will die here sooner or later, is nothing!"

"Uncle, I'm disappointed in you right now!"

"You... No matter how disappointed you are in me, leave me now! Even if you are disappointed in someone, the premise is to live!"

Xia Bing'er shook her head again.

Gu Xuzhang stretched out his hand and looked at the posture, maybe he would burst out and subdue Xia Bing'er in the next moment, and his voice was very earnest.

"Why are you so stubborn? If we fail to send back to the capital the news that the prince of Changshan is preparing to start an incident, all the suffering that the people of Liaodong have suffered recently will befall all the people of Guangwu!"

"At this time, we must not only live for ourselves, but also for Guangwu! Because now we can affect the lives of other Kyushu people in Guangwu, and it is also about Guangwu Sheji! Do you understand?"

"Understood, how can I not understand! Compared to other people in Kyushu and Guangwu Sheji, whether it is Liaodong, which is already devastated, or the displaced people who will only drag Guangwu down, it is just a dirty handkerchief that can be thrown away after it is used up!"

"And Feng Qing also told me that if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about the king, and if you live in the temple, you will worry about the people, and I may really be worried about the Nine Rulers. โ€

"But--the people of Binzhou City at this time are my people, and they are the people of Fengqing! As for the other Kyushu, that's Li Kuigui's business!"

Gu Xuzhang didn't know whether it was fear or anger, and his face turned pale.

"You... How dare you call the Holy One today?"

"Whether it is a saint or Li Kuigui! In this life, I am only loyal to Fengqing, as long as he says something, I will obey it! As long as it is his thing, I will do my best to protect it! If he has not returned when the Cangfeng Thief Kou is attacking the city, I will go into battle in leather armor! Someone is coming!"

Ten strong men ran in outside the door.

Gu Xuzhang was deflated, and his expression was sluggish.

"Alas, you...... You're really angry with me, if Xia Lao is still alive, see if he can beat you. โ€

Xia Bing'er's face did not warm.

"Please go back to your room and rest, and don't see anyone without my permission. โ€

"Yes. โ€

"Don't move me, I can walk on my own!"

Gu Xuzhang shook his hand fiercely and turned to leave.

......

Sitting back in her original position, looking at the only remaining grain and grass on the grain book, Xia Bing'er frowned.

"Feng Qing!"

There were footsteps outside the door that were quickly approaching, and the events of this moment made Xia Bing'er already a little angry, and her tone was very stiff.

"Didn't I say that no one was allowed to come in without my orders?"

The footsteps disappeared at the door, Xia Bing'er turned her head with a cold face, and Luo Daguang stood by the door, his face full of embarrassment.

Coming into contact with Xia Bing'er's cold gaze, he hurriedly spoke in a panic.

"Madame, I ......"

Xia Bing'er's white and tender jade face could clearly see a red gas rushing upward.

Luo Daguang immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and shook his two hands vigorously in front of him.

"No, sister-in-law, I'm sorry! No, sir, listen to my explanation......

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xia Bing'er carefully.

Seeing that Xia Bing'er had shame in her eyes, Luo Daguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Listen, why didn't you say it?"

"My lord asked me to give you this letter. โ€

Xia Bing'er ran to Luo Daguang, took the letter, and was about to open it.

"My subordinates still have something to do, so I'll leave first. โ€

"Wait, is the general alright?"

"The general is good. โ€

"Alright, you go get busy. โ€

"Yes. โ€

......

On the city wall, Chen Tianfeng, Liu Jieming and the other three stood side by side, and the sadness on their faces deepened a lot compared to two days.

"Where the hell did you say the general went? I haven't shown up for two days. โ€

"Even if we find out about the general's traces, it's useless, and we don't understand what he thinks. โ€

"Having said that, knowing that the general is there, we also have the bottom in our hearts. โ€

"Luo Daguang's kid is comfortable, and he has been following the general. โ€

"Don't think about it so much, the general told us to hold on for three days and not to fight, today is the deadline, I think there will be a turnaround in the future, we just keep it. โ€

Liu Jieming suddenly showed self-deprecation and helplessness.

"Turnaround?!, that is, I will speak my heart in front of you. In this situation, unless the gods descend to earth, Binzhou City has only one way to break the city!"
