It was the second half of the night when Lan Ziyi led the team back to the city, since Lan Ziyi entered the city, the discipline in the army has always been strict, and the soldiers did not make noise after entering the city, and they returned to the station to rest after a short period of busyness.

At this time, it was the time to sleep the deepest night, and there was silence in Xiangcheng,

Outside the city, there was still a fire in the sky, and there was a faint shouting, which would have been heard more clearly if you lived on the edge of the city wall, but this was not of great importance to the people in Xiangcheng who had been busy all day defending the city, and they were now in a deep sleep after a tired day.

In the midst of this war, a pure land was enclosed within the city wall, and it was quiet and serene

However, not everyone in Xiangcheng can sleep, and there is a group of people in the yamen of the county government who are still busy at this time.

The periphery of the palace was full of carefully selected soldiers of the Jihu battalion and the forbidden army, who strictly guarded the entrances and exits of the palace despite their fatigue, and some people formed a patrol team to patrol around the wall outside the yamen.

The exits of the yamen were very busy, and the scribes, sergeants, and officials kept going in and out, making people can't believe that it was the middle of the night at this time.

These busy people came from all over the city, and went to all parts of the city, they looked hurried, and each had his own thoughts, but these people all had one characteristic in common, that is, silence, the silence of burying their heads in the road, and now if they had their acquaintances around, they would have been frightened by the serious expressions on their faces and did not dare to ask questions.

The government is the only place in Xiangcheng that is still busy, and the torrent of small footsteps here is enough to wake up the surrounding households, but fortunately, there are no households around the government.

In this way, the current government should be busy, and in fact it is true, but it is slightly inaccurate, because there is still a place that is very quiet, that is, the Houya guest hall.

All the people in the city who entered the yamen finally had to receive instructions from this guest hall, but the strange thing was that this room was surprisingly quiet, and from the outside, except for the breathing sound of the soldiers guarding the yamen gate and the occasional creak of opening the door, there was really no sound in the guest hall.

But this does not mean that the people inside are idle, all the senior generals in Xiangcheng and Gao Yanzong of Zhixian County are sitting in the house, they each have a Taishi chair, and there is hot tea on the coffee table next to the chair, but no one has the heart to move the tea,

The people can rest after a busy day, and the sergeants can also take turns to rest after a busy day, but the few people sitting here have not closed their eyes all night.

Lan Ziyi held his forehead with one hand and closed his eyes as if he was pretending to sleep, he was very tired now, if he was at home or in the capital, Lan Ziyi would definitely have fallen asleep, but here he couldn't sleep, even if no one in the house spoke, he couldn't sleep, whenever he felt that his body was relaxed, and his spirit was about to fly into Zhou's seat, he would suddenly think of the things in the city, as if he was grabbed by a giant hand and thrown to the ground by his throat, his chest was stuffy as if he had been slammed by a sledgehammer, and his heartbeat was fast and slow, and his head seemed to wake up，

It's really unbearable, it's like going to prison, and if it's so uncomfortable to sleep, it's better not to sleep.

Lan Ziyi sighed, pinched the bridge of his nose with his hand, and then opened his eyes and changed his position on the chair, and everyone in front of him seemed to be asleep, leaning on the chair and not knowing whether to lie down or stand up.

The atmosphere in the room was serious and oppressive.

At this time, the door of the house was pushed open again, and it was Qiu Wenruo who walked into the house in the dark.

When Lan Ziyi saw Qiu Wenruo come in, his face showed some joy,

After Qiu Wenruo entered the house, he simply saluted everyone, and then hurriedly walked next to his father.

After Qiu Wenruo sat down, Lan Ziyi asked:

"Mr. Wenruo, how are things handled?"

Qiu Wenruo took a sip of the teacup, and then said:

"The food in the city has been sent to the urn city, and I have also arranged for Lang Zhong to clean up the wounds and apply gold sore medicine to the soldiers who have just entered the city, although these soldiers who have just entered the city have a lot of complaints, but they are all calm, there will be no problems tonight, but we can't keep them in the urn city, we need to let them enter the city as soon as possible."

When the peach rabbit on the other side heard this, he also said:

"It's the young master, these brothers helped us block the thieves, so that we could easily enter the city, and now what is the matter with locking them in the urn city?"

Tao Zhulu said on the side:

"Third brother, I told you just now that these people are unknown, and we can't just let them into the city."

Lan Ziyi listened to the argument between the three of them and rubbed his temples with his hands, he felt that his head was about to explode, but if his head exploded, it would be good to solve the problem.

Lan Ziyi thought about these messes and smiled bitterly, and then asked:

"So how much grain and grass is left in the city?"

Qiu Wenruo replied:

"As before, there's not much left."

Lan Ziyi said:

"But there are a lot of people in the city."

Qiu Wenruo replied:

"The number of people who entered the city was probably counted, but there were only more than 5,000 people.

The grain and grass stored in the city will not be bottomed out by 5,000 people, but it is just that it is as difficult to maintain it for a long time. “

Seeing that Lan Ziyi didn't speak, Qiu Wenruo further said:

"Wei Hou, we need to let the soldiers enter the city as soon as possible, we can't just lock them up in the urn city, what does this make the soldiers think?"

Tao Zhulu said at this time:

"But this gang has already voted for thieves, how can you trust them when you come back now?"

The peach chased the rabbit and argued:

"They have proven their loyalty by killing the thief just now."

Tao Zhulu said:

"Third brother, I told you just now, if Neiying can be sent into the city, the thieves will not care about the death or injury of a few people.

We don't say that these 5,000 people are all going into the city to do internal responses, as long as there are hundreds of them, when the thieves attack the city, these internal responses will destroy the city defenses, and then we are busy exterminating the thieves in front, but we are stabbed in the back, which is unbearable. “

桃追兔 says:

"Second brother, you still have a lot of thieves in the city, why don't you say that they will stab you?"

Tao Zhulu replied:

"I naturally sent people to keep an eye on the people I left behind, but I don't know the root of these people who are entering the city now, even if I know which of them are suspicious, I can't spare enough people to keep an eye on them,

I can't control these people, and none of us have the power. “

Peach Rabbit asked:

"Then second brother, if you don't let them into the city, do you want to drive them out of the city?"

Tao Zhulu didn't answer directly when he heard this question, he just tapped the arm of the chair rhythmically with his fingers, and the breath in his eyes became extremely cold, like ice cubes chiseled out of the river in the past three or nine days.

Qiu Wenruo's eyes turned cold when he saw Tao Zhulu, and hurriedly said:

"It's true that these people have already voted for thieves, but knowing their mistakes can improve a lot, even if some of them do still have their hearts set on thieves, think of a way for us to be able to screen out loyal ministers and meticulous work, Erlang should not be impulsive."

At this time, Qiu Xiaozhi, who was beside Qiu Wenruo, suddenly spoke:

"Son! These thieves who entered the city first rebelled against the officials, and now they rebelled against the thieves, how can such a capricious person believe it?

The thieves may attack the city at any time next, and who knows when they will rebel when they will be released into the city? “

Qiu Wenruo says:

"Father, these soldiers were coerced by the generals at that time, and they were not voluntary, and now they can come back to wish us a hand, how can we turn them away?"

Qiu Xiaozhi says:

"How can one person coerce a battalion of people? If this battalion is all loyal ministers, then their battalion will have to surrender to the thieves alone, where may the whole battalion of 10,000 people surrender to the thieves?

These people are problematic, and we can't introduce them into the city. “

Peach Rabbit said at this time:

"Mr. Xiaozhi said this too much, where was there no surrender and rebellion in ancient wars? Now that some people come to vote but do not appease them, they guess that they have bad intentions, who else will surrender to my young master in the future? Could it be that my young master only has this kind of mind? “

Qiu Xiaozhi sighed, shook his head, and said:

"When Saburo says that, he reads the book as a dead book.

What you said about recruiting and surrendering rebellion is when the world is falling apart, when the heroes are competing for the deer, at that time the destiny of heaven is not decided, the heroes of the Quartet rise together, the heroes of the group rely on their strength to prosper, divide one side, people with lofty ideals to move when the time comes, choose the master and do things, and then make contributions to the history of history, which is a good talk in the world.

But now the world is peaceful and the Quartet is unified, only this group of demon thieves is treason and rebellion, coveting artifacts, and now we recruit rebels, what is the explanation? Is it to tell the world that it's okay if you turn against it, and you can save your life if you surrender? Isn't the world asking people to rebel? “

Tao Zhutu listened to Qiu Xiaozhi's long speech, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find a reason to refute it, so he had to ask:

"So what do you say?"

Qiu Xiaozhi heard Tao Zhutu's question, squinted his eyes and glanced at everyone present, and said:

"One word, kill!"

As soon as these words came out, Tao Zhutu was obviously taken aback, gasped and said:

"What did you say?"

However, the others obviously did not react so much, but someone pierced the last window paper and the stone in everyone's hearts fell to the ground.

Tao Zhuhu and Wei Qionglou changed colors with each other and did not speak, they both took the teacup and took a sip; Tao Zhulu's fingers tapping on the armrest paused for a moment, and then he clasped his hands to his chest and closed his eyes; Gao Yanzong looked at Qiu Xiaozhi and smiled, while Li Guangzhong lowered his head and did not speak.

At this time, Lan Ziyi just held his chin and stared at everyone, and he didn't speak, just looked at it so coldly.

Qiu Xiao said directly:

"This group must not stay, it is a clever move to lock them up in the urn city when the marquis enters the city, we only need to send crossbowmen to the city, and we can finish them all out in less than half an hour."

Qiu Wenruo sighed and shook his head vigorously, and said:

"Father, why did you kill so much, and you came up with such a poisonous plan to poison people's lives!"

Qiu Xiao glanced at his son and said:

"Wen Ruo, you yourself have the kindness of a woman to ask for hardship at most, and now the lives of the soldiers and people in the whole city are in our hands, and a decision will cost everyone's lives, and you must not be rash at this time."
