At this moment, the faces of the people gathered in the city all had a kind of tiredness that could not be concealed. Perhaps because of the sleepless night, everyone was fighting their spirits, wearing thin clothes, next to each other to protect against the cold. Their arrival gave Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng confidence and gave the city hope.

But no one spoke, except for the young and untouched children. And he was also stopped in the arms of his parents who rushed out of the crowd and disappeared into the crowd. The smiles on Chen Fusheng and Gu Xing's faces gradually dissipated, and they didn't know if they could awaken the conscience of this group of numb people.

The three of them still stood at the head of the city, letting the wind and snow fall, but they insisted like this, but they didn't know if they could get their hearts. Finally, there was a commotion in the crowd, and someone raised his hand to the head of the city, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and said hoarsely, "Brother Yuan, what's wrong with him?" ”

Chen Fusheng was overjoyed in his heart, he knew that the opportunity had come. To break the ice at this time, such an opportunity is needed. And his insistence was not in vain, without hesitation for a moment, and then replied, "Yuen Long sacrificed his life to save everyone's lives...... Chen Fusheng's tone was deliberately much lower, perhaps there was a trace of guilt in it......

Maybe he had acted earlier last night, maybe he would have been able to save Yuen Long and save this young life. But this is contrary to Ran Junshou's plan, maybe Yuen Long is ready to see death as home, but until the moment he dies, does he have the slightest regret for this life?

Unknown......

But Chen Fusheng knew that if this "tragic song" could not be sung well, it would be in vain for Yuen Long's hard work.

But the man who shouted this sentence fell into silence, the silence that followed indifference. It seems that Yuen Long's death was foreseen and may have been a relief for them. Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng couldn't see the expressions of the people in the city clearly, but they could feel an unprecedented commotion, after many baptisms, would they be able to deal with this catastrophe?

Just when Chen Fusheng was hesitating to inform the news of Luoyang's attack, there was a rush of horses' hooves behind the crowd, and the people, who were originally side by side, were forced to move closer to both sides and forcibly split a passage.

Chen Fusheng said secretly, "It's so fast", and he glanced at Gu Xing. The latter had also seen from a distance, and an old man with a crane-haired and childish face walked out of the crowd, and beside him was the county keeper who had been invited away early in the morning.

The crowd fell silent after a commotion, but the crane-haired and childlike Xie Ge Lao walked to the city without hurry, looking up at the three people who were facing the risk with their backs outside the city at this time. Behind him, a group of samurai had blocked the people who were huddled on either side, blocking their attempts to escape.

Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng felt a burst of fury in their hearts, Gu Xing even held the silver spear behind him with his backhand, and in an instant, he was about to pull out the gun and jump down, stabbing Xie Ge Lao, who had come here to show off his might, on the spot. It's a pity that Elder Xie Ge didn't give him this opportunity, more precisely, it was Ran Junshou who didn't give him this opportunity.

Ran Qi strode forward, crossed Xie Ge Lao and turned to face the people, "Everyone, please listen to me. ”

Chen Fusheng felt apprehensive in his heart, he didn't know what the county guard was doing when he came here at this time. Could it be that the two had reached a consensus, or did Elder Xie Ge threaten him to go against his heart and hand over Longshou County? But no matter what kind of action is done now, it is tantamount to adding insult to injury.

It's a big gamble, and it's only allowed to win, not lose......

Ran Qi didn't shake off the snow on his clothes, and let them slowly melt, drip or blend in on his clothes until they disappeared. The cold began to eat away at everyone present, and they felt extremely hot at this moment, as if only in this moment could the hearts of all be brought together.

For the people of Longshou County, the county guard Ran Qi is hope and the future. Because of him, he led them to root here, because of him, and brought their lives to peace. Because of him, he has resisted foreign enemies again and again, so that they are free from the chaos of war. Because of him, he has made countless impossible possibilities, which is why he is so popular.

But this county keeper, who had disappeared for several days, appeared in front of them at this moment. And his sideburns were dyed with lingering hoarfrost at some point, and a few "furrows" of different shades were added to his face. His bright smile was gone, perhaps never seen again after that battle with the head of the dragon.

He is decadent and distressing. He is diligent in government, which is also distressing. It's no wonder that this era is blaming it, it is the temples and rivers and lakes of the era that have given birth to all this darkness and turmoil, and all this should not have been borne by them. And at this moment, I have to bear it.

Perhaps, this is the creation of people......

Ran Junshou was covered in snow at the moment, but his eyes were still bright. At this moment, the faces of the people standing opposite him were no longer indifferent, but more confused and distressed. But no one spoke, and no one even stepped forward, not because they were greedy for life and afraid of death, but because they didn't know what to do at this time, so that Ran Jun could keep his mind at ease.

The smile on the face of the old Xie Ge who came with him had disappeared, and a mixture of impatience and urging followed. Ran Junshou turned a blind eye, just looked at his thousands of people, and gradually stabilized his mind.

"As you know, there is a matter of urgency at the moment, which is related to the life and death of Longshou County......" Ran County Shou finally spoke, his voice not loud but loud enough for everyone to hear. This extremely calm statement, but like a thunderclap, exploded in the hearts of the people of Longshou County.

A brief silence was followed by a flurry of panic, and someone began to tremble, and his body fell to the ground. Tears welled up in someone's eyes, and unintelligible eulogies were repeated in their mouths. Others desperately tugged at their parents and brothers beside them, as if blaming them for not leaving earlier. And this scene is real, but it constantly impacts Ran Qi's heart and makes him cry.

At that time, he never thought that Longshou County would fall to the point where it is now. He originally wanted to grow stronger, but he could only become a "trophy" for all forces to fight for. Maybe it's someone else's world, and he never really got it. That brief moment of dawn also fell with his wife, and there was no longer any life.

At this time, Xie Ge Lao retreated indifferently and looked indifferently at the "various states of life" of this group of people. He just thought it was a little funny, laughing at the cowardice and timidity of this group of post-Tang people. But when faced with death, who can really see death as home?

At present, Yuen Long is the only one who has broken the barrier of sticking to his heart with his life. But when Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng wanted to follow this method, they found how stupid and ridiculous it was. To be born as a human being is to be the ultimate lucky. And no one would choose to sacrifice easily. Not to mention these people who have no hatred or resentment!

The "variety of life" continued, but Xie Ge Lao's face gradually froze. He didn't know when he felt a trace of pity for the people in front of him, and in such a short moment, he was a little overwhelmed.

Ran Qi's words continued, "Fellow comrades, all fathers and fellow villagers. Ran Qi is ashamed of your trust and entrustment this time, and I am afraid that everyone will fall into a desperate situation. At this time, the two teenagers standing on the city wall brought the hope they hoped to sow, and last night's baptism was only the beginning, and the real battle had not really begun......"

But as these words came out, the group of people who should have been shouting for heaven and earth suddenly wiped away their tears and snot, stopped trembling, and slowly moved closer to the front. And the dark samurai wanted to stop it, but they were also squeezed by the crowd that came and went, and gradually lost their way.

When this group of people really stood in front of Ran Qi, they once again straightened their long-bent waists, and their eyes once again bloomed with a rare light. And the sky, which was covered by dark clouds, also cast a ray of dawn for some reason.

Some people in the crowd began to speak, all of which were simple and unpretentious, such as, "Work together to defend Longshou County", "I am willing to live and die with the county keeper", "People who were born in Longshou County will die as ghosts of Longshou County", "No matter who commits offense, we will never take a step back". Ran Junshou's dry eyes were moist again, but no tears came out of his eyes. Perhaps at that sunrise, he dried up his tears......

This remark moved Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng, who were about to freeze on the city, but only the subsequent sentence was like a stone falling into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves. "You can't let Yuen Long die in vain!" This simple sentence made the hearts of the two teenagers in the city no longer hold back.

Perhaps what they did was not honorable. Perhaps they know that this is demagogy. But at this moment, it is more important than anything else to be able to bring everyone's hearts together. Xie Ge sighed and did not continue to insist. just stepped forward and patted Ran Junshou on the shoulder, and said in his ear: "Don't forget the agreement between you and me." With that, he turned and disappeared into the crowd.

That group of people was reluctant to leave for a long time, just like Longshou County's original perseverance, holding on to every inch of land, and never giving up on anyone easily.

Just when everyone was immersed in this long-lost hustle and bustle, a loud shout from above the city interrupted the atmosphere under the city. With this shout, another body fell to the city, and there was a feathered arrow stuck in the body, impartial, and hit the back of the heart.

And Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng quickly glanced back, and then shouted towards the city: "Everyone, run, the enemy army in Luoyang is about to attack the city!" ”

Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar, and the people began to flee in all directions. And those who never left, all clenched their fists, looked up at the sky, and put the last touch of warm sun in their hearts. They ran towards Yuen Long's body, surrounded him, and then lifted him up, carrying the bright banner of Lung Shou County, and marching in the direction of the upcoming expedition.

Countless feather arrows shot at each other, and Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng only had time to roll on the city wall a few times before rushing to the inner stairs and rushing downward. Ran Junshou didn't move half a step, but just indifferently watched the figure of the Chinese carrying Yuen Long away, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time......
