In the city of Yuanyuan, all the Qin people did not dare to go out at this time, and the pedestrians on the originally noisy streets became very scarce, and groups of soldiers continued to patrol along the long streets. The current Honbara Castle is full of storms.

Despite such a tense atmosphere, a piece of news quickly spread from the General's Mansion, and it didn't take long for it to spread throughout the entire Fenyuan City. Guogong's son is now in the city, and the prince hopes that he will be a hostage in exchange for the time of the Rongdi army to attack the city, and buy time for the arrival of reinforcements. In order to let everyone know what Childe looks like, the General's Mansion also posted the portrait of Childe on the streets and alleys.

Although I don't understand why I put up the portrait of my son, after all, it is the son of the Duke of Guo, the son of the Qin State, such a noble status, but for the sake of these humble Qin people are willing to enter the enemy army as hostages, the simple Qin people feel a little humiliated and at the same time proud that the Qin State can have such a son.

The Great Qin State has such a son, why not be strong?

Qin Chuan was trapped in the courtyard for the past two days, not knowing what was happening outside. Today, Wu Shang went out for a walk, and when he came back, his face was a little wrong.

"Brother Wu Shang, has something happened?" Qin Chuan sensed Wu Shang's changes, so he asked.

Wu Shang looked at Qin Chuan and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you really the son of the Duke of Guo?" The son of the Qin State? ”

Qin Chuan nodded, a complicated look appeared in his eyes, and then he returned to normal, and then the scholar Wu Shang said in a self-deprecating tone: "What is the son of the Qin State, but he is just an illegitimate child that no one cares about." ”

Wu Shang looked at Qin Chuan's disapproving appearance, sighed, and then told Qin Chuan what he had seen when he went out.

"If you don't want to go out, stay here forever, and I'll take care of you." Wu Shang looked at Qin Chuan, who was sitting opposite, seriously.

Qin Chuan frowned, thought about it repeatedly, and then looked up at Wu Shang, but there was a faint smile on his face: "Brother Wu Shang, I remember that you told me before that people should at least do something to live, if I can exchange my life for the survival of everyone in Yuanyuan City, I think I should go." ”

"You... But Wu Shang was a little anxious, and in his heart he regretted telling Qin Chuan the news.

Just when Wu Shang was stunned, Qin Chuan had already put the long sword on his back, smiled at Wu Shang and said, "Brother Wu Shang, don't forget, I am also a swordsman. After speaking, he patted the long sword behind him.

"I'll go with you." Wu Shang stood in front of Qin Chuan in one step and said solemnly with a solemn face.

"It's better for me to go by myself, you go and be captured by those soldiers again, don't worry, you haven't taught me swordsmanship yet, and I haven't become a real swordsman, so I'm sure I'll be fine." Qin Chuan swore solemnly.

"Besides, if I can't come back, Brother Wu Shang can still help me avenge." Qin Chuan took Wu Shang's hand and said with a serious face.

Wu Shang didn't know how to reject Qin Chuan's decision.

Now that he had made a decision, Qin Chuan no longer hesitated, opened the wooden door, walked out of the courtyard, and waved his hand to Wu Shang, who was still standing in place, before leaving, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu Shang, come on!" Then he walked out of the alley.

Wu Shang was still standing in place, looking at the smile on Qin Chuan's face, he suddenly felt a little dazzling.

If it had been placed in the past, Qin Chuan would definitely not have come out so recklessly, at least not so quickly, but Wu Shang's words that day were deeply moved. It was also for this reason that he walked out of hiding place without hesitation.

The cold streets, without the hustle and bustle of the previous days, the hurried pedestrians, with frightened looks on their faces, and the doors of every house closed, seemed to dispel some of the fears in their hearts.

At first, he was still a little hesitant about his choice, but after seeing the somewhat depressed appearance of Yuan City, Qin Chuan was even more determined in his choice.

To live, one should at least do something.

"Look, is that kid the son of our Great Qin? How do I look exactly like the one in the portrait? A pedestrian glanced at Qin Chuan and asked his companion with some uncertainty.

And the companion also glanced up, instantly became into tears, knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed to Qin Chuan, and said loudly: "Untouchable, I've seen Gongzi." ”

The man's words were very loud, and immediately attracted the pedestrians around, and when he saw Qin Chuan's appearance clearly, he also learned the man's movements, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing.

The sudden change caught Qin Chuan a little off guard, and he just looked at the crowd kneeling around him blankly. The house, which was originally closed, quietly opened a crack, and saw that the people who knelt down on the street were a little curious, and when they learned what happened, they also came out of the house and knelt on the ground.

More and more people fell to their knees, but the change here attracted the attention of the patrolling soldiers.

"Uncles and aunts, grandfathers, grandmothers. Hurry up, Qin Chuan is still young, how can he be worthy of such a big gift? Qin Chuan reacted and quickly reached out to pull the arm of an old man next to him.

"Childe is righteous, for the sake of the old Qin people in Yuanyuan City, I am willing to go to the Rongdi military camp, I wait for my life, so I can only thank Childe." The old man's voice reverberated through the street, and everyone spoke in response.

"Hurry up, as the son of the Qin State, at this time of crisis, I should do my best to ensure your safety, please hurry up, I can never afford to be such a great gift to everyone." Qin Chuan explained to everyone with a flushed face, but no one took the lead in getting up.

A group of patrolling soldiers walked behind Qin Chuan, and a leading soldier said to the people who were kneeling on the ground: "Everyone disperse quickly, don't hinder the major affairs of Qin Chuan's son, all disperse, disperse." ”

Then, the soldier walked up to Qin Chuan and whispered, "Go by yourself, we won't be difficult for you." ”

Qin Chuan nodded, and walked towards the mansion of the general guarding the city under the leadership of the soldiers, but the crowd kneeling on the street was reluctant to get up for a long time.

"Boy, do you really think you're the son of the Duke of the Kingdom?" The soldier sneered.

"Don't you say it, hurry up and lead the way, otherwise once I regret it, see how you explain to the Qin people in the city." Qin Chuan said calmly.

"It's really self-sufficient, yes, just let you be majestic for a few days, and when you get to Rong Di's military camp, I'm afraid your good days will come to an end, I heard that those barbarians like boys and girls very much, tsk, yes, it's really good." The soldier looked Qin Chuan up and down and said.

Qin Chuan ignored the soldier's harsh words, but secretly thought in his heart that if he didn't die in the future, he would definitely let Che Ying punish this soldier heavily, at least he should slap his mouth a few times to make him have a long memory.

The General's Mansion is a mansion composed of three courtyards, and it is absolutely impossible to see from the outside that such a dilapidated house can become the residence of the general who guards the city of Fenyuan City, with its dilapidated gate and low courtyard wall, which does not seem to be in line with the identity of the general. But when you walk through the door, you can feel the difference.

After entering the courtyard, there were two neat rows of houses, one by one soldiers constantly shuttling between the houses, and even Qin Chuan's arrival did not attract their attention. Continuing on, there is a red courtyard wall, and behind the courtyard wall is the place where the general guarding the city handles his daily official duties.

Entering this huge house, the general guarding the city was dressed in civilian clothes, sitting on the main seat, wiping the long sword in his hand with a gloomy face, and behind him were two soldiers in armor standing behind him with a serious face, and on the seat next to him sat an old man in shabby clothes and two sheepbeards, the old man's surname was Sun, and everyone called him Old Man Sun.

Seeing Qin Chuan walk into the house, a smile appeared on the originally gloomy face of the general guarding the city, handed the long sword in his hand to a soldier behind him, stood up with a smile and said to Qin Chuan: "I didn't expect to be so bold at a young age, worthy of being the son of the Qin State." ”

"When you see the general, don't hurry up and salute." The soldier who brought Qin Chuan here said in a stern voice.

"No need, when we see the prince of the Qin State, we should salute, how can there be any reason to let the prince wait for me to salute." The general waved at the soldier, but he didn't mean to salute in the slightest.

"How's the battle going? Can you afford to defend the castle? Qin Chuan looked at the general guarding the city and asked with a serious face.

"Hold? Do you know how many Rongdi troops there are outside the city? Twenty thousand, a whole twenty thousand. How could it be kept. The general who defended the city said this casually, but there was not the slightest worry in his eyes.

"Then why don't you mobilize the troops in the city to defend the city?" Qin Chuan asked a little puzzled.

The general who defended the city stopped his movements, looked at Qin Chuan, and said with some jokes: "Defend the city, how to defend the city?" Now there are only five hundred soldiers in the city, and what are you going to do to defend the city? ”

Listening to the words of the general guarding the city, Qin Chuan was shocked, there were only five hundred guards in the huge city of Xuanyuan.

"Isn't it shocking? In fact, I am also a good woman, it is difficult to cook without rice, 500 people against 20,000 people, even if it is the reincarnation of the gods, it is impossible to defend the city of Fenyuan. So whether you are the son of the Qin State or not, from tomorrow, you will be the son of the Qin State, and with your cheap life, the lives of all the people in the entire Fenyuan City, I think the entire Qin people in the Fenyuan City will be grateful to you. ”

After saying this, the general guarding the city paused, glanced at Qin Chuan and the old man sitting next to him, stretched out five fingers, and said to the two: "Five days, as long as the Rong Di barbarians can not attack the city within five days, we can wait for reinforcements, and at that time, the 20,000 Rong Di troops will die tragically under the soldiers of my Great Qin soldiers." ”

Qin Chuan was a little dumbfounded by the whimsical words of the general defending the city, he really couldn't think of how the general who defended the city concluded that the leaders of the Rongdi army would be able to attack the city for five days when they saw the prince of the Qin State? Are those leaders fools?

Looking at the smug general of the city with an idiot's eyes, Qin Chuan sighed in his heart, and then glanced at the old man next to him from the corner of his eye, the old man was sitting on a chair, and the expression on his face was also a little unnatural.

"Haha, it's a little strange, what am I telling you to do with this, you kid." The general who defended the city laughed a little self-deprecatingly, then looked at the old man sitting next to him, and his face suddenly became serious: "Old man Sun, remember what you have to do, no matter what method you use, you must make the leader of the Rong Di barbarians promise not to attack the city for five days." ”

The old man listened to the words of the general guarding the city, knelt on the ground with a puff, and responded in a hoarse voice: "I will not disappoint the general." ”

"Hmph, don't play tricks, remember the consequences if you can't do it." The general of the city guard threatened the old man.

The old man said yes again and again.

Then, the general defending the city waved his hand, and the soldier who had been standing behind the general defending the city without saying a word strode forward and led Qin Chuan and the old man towards a remote house in the general's mansion.
