1140 Defend the city
The crescent moon hangs high for nine days like a bow.
On the ground, Daqing pulled the carriage and walked away until it sank into the depths of darkness, and no trace could be found.
Yin Can stood under the starry sky on a moonlit night, quietly looking at the place where Xiao Han and his party had disappeared, looking in a trance, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Soon, the sound of footsteps sounded in the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, the somewhat old figure of the shopkeeper appeared on the side of the road.
"Young master, people have gone far." Quietly came to Yin Can's side, and the big shopkeeper respectfully bowed.
"Oh." Yin Can promised in a low voice, but his figure still didn't move, and he didn't even look at the shopkeeper of the cloth shop.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop frowned slightly, thinking that the young master was worried about what happened just now, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Young master, the old slave thinks that what they said just now, the young master doesn't have to believe it!" It's better to let the old slave go and find the people in the camp, and the two sides will be confirmed, and you will definitely know the truth of what happened! ”
"Hey, I don't have to."
Hearing the words of the big shopkeeper of the cloth shop, Yin Can finally made a move, he sighed, turned his head to look at the old shopkeeper, and the expression on his face was a little weird: "Don't ask, because there will be no better truth than what they say!" ”
"Young Master?" When the shopkeeper heard this, his body was shocked, his eyes looked at Yin Can fixedly, and his voice trembled.
Won't there be a better truth than what they say? What does that mean? Could it be that the young master has compromised to such a point? But what they say, is it right?
However, Yin Can smiled at this time, he patted the old shopkeeper's low shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, don't worry about me!" Now if we want to take advantage of this opportunity, we must be prepared to be wronged! And, it's really nothing! At least our current situation is much better than those people outside! ”
"But young master, you are a gentleman...... the old shopkeeper said in a trembling voice that was still a little unwilling.
Yin Can just shook his head: "What is a moment?" How many of those people outside were worse than our Mo family before? But look at them now, what do they look like?! If we don't seize the opportunity to change, sooner or later we will become like them......"
The old shopkeeper's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at Yin Can and said, "Young Master, why do you believe him so much?!" ”
Yin Can looked up at the sky, but sighed and said, "Because I really don't have time to trust others!"
The old man exhausted his efforts to reunite the fragmented Mo family and put it in my hands.
But you and I both know that today's Mo family is only complete on the surface, and there are already cracks on the inside!
And I don't have the perseverance of an old man, let alone the wisdom of an ancestor, so I can't heal these cracks at all! If it continues like this, sooner or later the Mo family will split again, and then it will be an immortal, and it will be difficult to save my Mo family. ”
"Then young master, can Xiao Han, who you are optimistic about, save my Mo family?" When the shopkeeper heard this, he asked anxiously.
Yin Can was stunned when he heard this, nodded, and shook his head again: "I don't know!" But I have a feeling that the path he wants to take is the same as the path of our Mo family!
Since we are fellow travelers, we can use his power to return to people little by little and take back the glory that belonged to us, and at that time, in front of the same glory, these hidden dangers will disappear. ”
"This ......" The big shopkeeper of the cloth shop looked at Yin Can in front of him hesitantly, but after a long time, he just sighed, and his body, which was originally a little rickety, was even more depressed in the dark night.
"Since you have decided, young master, the old slave will follow the young master when he dies! Now the old slave is afraid that this upcoming war will ruin Xiao Han'......"
"No, he already knows the identities of those people on the other side, and he won't take it lightly! Moreover, I have always believed that those people outside will definitely not be his opponents! ”
"The old slave wants to be so ......"
On the road late at night, the conversation between the master and servant was slowly muffled until there was no more sound.
Heaven and earth, return to tranquility.

The sun was rising, and the newly recruited soldiers of Yangzhou City were wearing ill-fitting leather armor, and they were chased by their respective commanders and even chiefs to catch up with the city.
Now, although the thieves have not yet come to the city, the unique tension of the war has long been clouded in everyone's hearts, especially those recruits, whose hearts are even heavier, like pressing a boulder.
Cowering up the city, he cautiously poked his head out of the gap in the female wall.
When they saw that the world was still vast outside, their nervousness finally eased a little.
Someone breathed a sigh of relief, looked left and right, and suddenly noticed that there was something more on the city wall.
"Huh? There seems to be an extra flag over there! The recruit pointed to a banner standing on the city wall, with a completely different shape from the surrounding one.
"What kind of flag, that's called Shuai Qi!" Nearby, there was immediately a veteran who corrected it with disdain.
"Shuai Qi? Why are you here for the general? Coming to the rescue? The recruit was taken aback and asked again and again.
The veteran rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Rescue? Dream on! How far away is we from Chang'an? Do you think rescuers are like birds, they can fly? ”
"Huh?" The recruit stretched out his hand in surprise, pointed to the big flag that was flying in the morning sun, and said, "Then what's the matter with this handsome flag?" ”
The veteran snorted, "Humph! I just asked the literate gentleman, and the flag was written with a Xiao character!
Why, do you remember that a while ago, we had an idle marquis in Yangzhou City, right? His surname is Xiao! So you know what's going on! ”
"Is that him?" When the recruit heard this, he was immediately disappointed, and pouted: "He's just a bare-pole Hou Ye, why are you still hanging the handsome flag?" Afraid that the thieves don't know he's in the city? In case the city is broken and thieves pour into the city, I will see where he will run when the time comes...... Oops! ”
Before the recruit could finish his words, a big-footed girl kicked him hard in the crook of his leg, and he couldn't stand steadily, and knelt down at the head of the city, and then screamed again and again!
"Fuck your shit!" The veteran retracted his feet and glared angrily at the recruit who was holding his knees and crying out in pain: "If you say such frustrating words again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will throw you down from the city!" ”
The recruit was a little annoyed that the veteran kicked him indiscriminately, but when he saw the veteran's terrifying eyes, he immediately swallowed the words that came to his lips, and only dared to nod vigorously.
"Humph!" The veteran flicked his sleeves and strode away.
"Hey, you are beaten, you are not wronged!" Seeing the veteran walk away, several people who had not spoken next to him immediately surrounded him, smiling bitterly and comforting:
"Boy, you are still young, you don't know that thieves break the city, and it is customary to ask for three days! When the time comes, don't say that you and I are the fathers and mothers of the family, and the daughters and sons of the family, and they can't escape the tragic ending. ”
