Chapter 434: The City is in the People

When the rumors of "mirror-to-war collaboration" first appeared, most people scoffed at it.

There are not a few people in the world who have a secret tune with Beihu, but no one thinks that Xiao Jing will be among them.

The reason is very simple: when they sent their relatives, they were disemboweled, and later on the way back, they were almost assassinated, and the most terrible thing was that they married a woman who was supposed to marry the Great Khan of Beihu, and formed an almost undying grudge with Lu Chong......

Will such a person take refuge in Beihu? If you think about it on your knees, you know it's impossible!

But as more and more fierce news was exposed, doubts gradually arose in people's hearts:

It turned out that the woman named Lu Shanshan was the one who was now leading the southern invasion of the old royal court. The world is so big, there are many people with the same name and surname, everyone didn't care at first, I didn't expect it to be so coincidental!

The evidence that the newspaper and the Hu people have been close to each other is not only one day or two. Anyone who has been to Puhua Town knows that there were Hu people in the nursing home that used to guard the door of the mirror newspaper, and the proportion was not small; At that time, I thought it was nothing, after all, the Hu people were fierce, and there were not many wealthy families who loved to invite them, but now it seems that where did so many Hu people come from?

What's even worse is that many newspapers also exposed the so-called "private relationship" between Xiao Jing and Lu Shanshan.

Except for a few media outlets that found out about the past of the two and wrote them into some well-founded reports, most of the other newspapers were making up nonsense. Still, even the most serious reader can't help but think about it.

In the newspaper, Xia Hanxue and Qin Ziqian are Xiao Jing's family, and Su Yuxian is Shao Ning's wife; Although there were ill-intentioned people who gossiped about Dong Xiaoya in the past, almost everyone accepted her as "the big housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion" and "the vice president of the newspaper", and at the very least, they regarded her as a slave of the Xiao family, and they would not think that there was anything wrong with her and President Xiao living under the same roof.

But what about Lu Shanshan?

Before becoming Lu Chong's nominal wife, she was a big girl with yellow flowers in the boudoir who didn't care about other people's eyes and faced a group of men day and night, what was she trying to do?

Kind-hearted people may say: Lu Shanshan grew up on the grassland, a girl from Beihu naturally does not have so many taboos, how can you expect her to understand the rules of the Central Plains?

Others speculate "with the worst malice."

Some people say that Lu Shanshan deliberately approached Xiao Jing in order to obtain all kinds of news about Da Rui. Although this speculation is inseparable, Xiao Jing did not let her come into contact with any sensitive information, and all she could obtain was information that could be collected through open channels.

If that's all the talk goes, forget it, the question is, what the hell are you using to directly make up a "Xiao Jingyan History"?

In just a few days, some fragrant words have swept the entire Ruidu. They vividly describe the process of the two "hooking up and becoming adulterous", and write a plot similar to the female spy "sacrificing their lives" in later spy war films, which not only attracted countless eyeballs, but also made it into a drama by good deeds, and performed in various taverns and teahouses day and night.

As a result, the theater was full everywhere the troupe went. It seems that people who are shrouded in the clouds of war do need some entertainment with "content" and "depth".

It's just that at the time of this national crisis, no matter how you look at it, this kind of thing is a wonder of "singing backyard flowers across the river".

Others are more elegant, and the story is more beautiful: Xiao Jing and Lu Shanshan are purely in love, and Miss Lu gave up her identity as Princess Beihu to work in the newspaper to accompany Ailang for the sake of love.

In their eyes, Xia Hanxue, as an eldest woman, was also moved by this love, and chose to acquiesce in her indecision; Or maybe she was afraid of attracting the notoriety of "good jealousy", so she had to pinch her nose and endure it.

This inference made many people feel jealous while sighing, and scolded Xiao Jing for being long: With a flower-like wife like the Xia family, she is not satisfied, and she is worried about the pearl of the grassland? Do you want to take all the beauties in the world before you give up?

Although Xiao Jing, who was far away in Xingyang County, didn't know what was happening in Ruidu, the sneezes one after another seemed to prove that there was nothing good in the south.

Clenched into fists, he sighed vigorously.

No matter how bad the situation in the capital is, it should be better than here, right?

As far as the eye could see, there were corpses everywhere in sight, and pools of blood that had long since turned dark red. In order to avoid the outbreak of the epidemic, these corpses should have been disposed of as soon as possible, but now they can't even take care of this kind of thing.

The Beihu have been storming for two days. They attacked the city day and night, at any cost, if it weren't for the people in the city who were barely supported by their blood, Xiao Jing and the others would have been in a different place.

Luck in misfortune: It may be because of the lack of siege weapons and the relatively small number of people who can climb the city and storm the city, or it may be because he doesn't want to lose too much of the elite under his account, or Lu Chong, who is a big man, just wants to play with his opponent like a cat and mouse - in short, although the Hu people surrounded the four gates of Xingyang County, only the gate where Xiao Jing was located was the onslaught from beginning to end.

But even so, the defensive pressure is still breathless. In the past two days, Xiao Jing had only slept for less than two hours in total, and he still barely fell asleep listening to the sound of gold and iron at this time.

If this continues, how long can the county hold on?

Xiao Jing, who was not sure in his heart, could not answer this question.

The casualties of the defenders reached 23/10, but the morale was unprecedentedly high. All those who had illusions before have abandoned their unrealistic ideas, and they have profoundly realized that "the city is in the people, and the city is ruined" is by no means a lie.

The bitter battles and the blood of loved ones will wake everyone up.

So, when the able-bodied men of prime fall, their parents with full hair will take up arms and take up their positions; The men of the family died in battle, and the wives who had not yet wiped away their tears would wear filial piety clothes and grit their teeth and throw stones and spill gold juice under the city......

Countless ordinary people who were honest and did not know what war was all about grew up overnight to become veterans on the battlefield and learned how to do their jobs step by step. They will no longer be frightened by the sound of the Hu people's drums, and they will not show panic when the enemy is attacking the city, so that people can take advantage of it.

Maybe it will be three days, maybe it will be ten days, or maybe the city will be broken tonight, and everyone will not see the sun tomorrow morning......

Xiao Jing really didn't know what the outcome would be.

All he could do was to write hard after the battle and write all the stories that could be sung and cried.

If you are lucky enough to survive, these words will surely turn into the most uplifting stories!
