Sure enough, General Kant Sting was right, and within three days, Qi Hongtian reorganized his troops and horses, and came towards Peicheng with 350,000 iron horsemen.

When Lao Mai heard the news, he hurriedly tied several people to the city tower, and asked the soldiers to put long knives around their necks, and Lao Mai sat on the small pavilion of the city tower and drank the ale slowly.

Qi Hongtian rode a high horse and stopped under the city tower, he didn't dare to rush in directly, he had few soldiers and horses, if there was an ambush inside, he would have to bend his waist and many soldiers.

So he had the soldiers fill their bows and crossbows and prepare to shoot into them.

Then Lao Mai stood on the high city tower, the wind blew his gray patch white robe bulging, he squinted his eyes, opened his mouth and poured the wind into his two front teeth, he smiled and shouted: "General Qi Hongtian, if you dare to put an arrow, I will slaughter all the people in the city, not a single one will be left, and there will be an ambush inside, not only will you not be able to take the city, but the people will also disappear." ”

Qi Hongtian pointed at Lao Mai above with a simple knife and shouted: "You cubs, don't you know that the people are military parents? What is the use of leaving an empty city without the people? Once Lao Tzu has the opportunity, chop up your bones and feed them to the dogs." ”

"Parents?" Lao Mai laughed, "and I'm not a citizen of the Northern Wilderness, so what kind of parents can I talk about? ”

"Do you dare to try? Lao Tzu will not let you go!"

Lao Mai motioned to the soldiers next to him to raise their knives, and with one sword, the head of a common man tied to the city wall was cut off and rolled down to Qi Hong Tianma's legs.

Old Mai shouted, "Do you want to continue?"

Qi Hongtian gritted his teeth, and was very unhappy when he saw the people dying, so he raised his head and shouted: "You rabbit cubs stop for me, are you trying to kill one?"

Lao Mai picked up a bowl of wine on the table, took a sip, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "General Qi, if you retire, I will guarantee that none of the people will die, if you have the ability, when we set foot in Yueyang City in the south, we will do a good job, and how will the victory or defeat be at that time?"

Qi Hongtian thought to himself when he heard this, if this is not the case, what else can he do?

The people are always parents and cannot die, the soldiers are to protect the people, what is the meaning of the people when they die.

Qi Hongtian put the Pu knife back into the sheath and shouted: "This is what you said, Lao Tzu listen, if you dare to hurt the people, even if Lao Tzu uses all his thoughts, he will die with you." ”

Lao Mai pulled out the long knife from his back, and in a knife sound, the long knife was deeply inserted into the city wall, turned around and poured a bowl of ale wine, put it on the city wall, and gently slashed the blade with his palm, and the blood flowed out, fluttering in the wind and dripping into the wine bowl.

Lao Mai raised the bowl of blood wine and shouted: "My Lao Mai drank this bowl of blood wine as proof not to kill a single citizen!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and took a sip.

Then, the remaining half bowl of wine was thrown down to Qi Hongtian, Qi Hongtian took the wine and glanced at Lao Mai, drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth and said, "Wine bowl, I will stay to testify!"

Lao Mai smiled and said, "It's easy to say!"

After finishing speaking, Qi Hongtian put away the wine bowl, grabbed the corner of the cloth, tore off a piece of cloth, and threw it up, Lao Mai took the cloth, Qi Hongtian shouted: "The broken robe is proof, I will not attack the city!"

Lao Mai smiled again and didn't say anything!

Qi Hongtian was refreshed, and after not saying more than half a sentence, he immediately turned his head and led the soldiers away.

Several people looked at the back of Qi Hongtian leaving, Lao Mai squinted his eyes, touched his chin and sparse beard, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, Lao Mai looked relaxed but was nervous in his heart.

What I did today was only because Lao Mai heard that Qi Hongtian loved the people deeply, so he threatened him with the people, Lao Mai was not nervous, it was fake, after all, he just heard that Qi Hongtian loved the people deeply, and today I saw that Qi Hongtian really loved the people.

Then, Lao Mai returned to the pavilion, sat down and looked at the soldiers and horses that were gradually moving away, and muttered, "He is also a good general." ”

Dag walked over and sat down, put the long knife on the table and said, "Old Mai, you are very good, you will persuade him to retire in a few words." ”

Lao Mai smiled and shook his head and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Qi Hongtian loves the people deeply, and the people are parents, but he is a good general, and they all say that people have weaknesses, and Qi Hongtian's weakness is precisely that he loves the people too much." ”

Kant Sting's heart finally sank, walked to the city wall, held his hand on the wall and said with a smile: "Anna Shangjir goddess bless, if these guys kill in, it will be unstoppable, not to mention that we are not preparing for an ambush, we are completely betting on whether Qi Hongtian's guy will attack the city?, my Anna Shangjir goddess, thank you so much." ”

Lao Mai smiled and squinted his eyes and said, "Yes! Yes! This gambling method is still a little exciting!"

The three of them laughed, Lao Mai put away Qi Hongtian's red broken robe, came down to the city tower, and ordered the soldiers to release the arrested people, and not to kill the people casually in the future.

He walked to the room where Wang Ji was being held, pushed the door in, Wang Ji sat at the head of the bed and looked up when he heard the sound of the door, and smiled at Lao Mai.

Lao Mai walked over and sat down, poured a glass of water, and said with a smile: "Wang Ji, you don't have to pretend to smile, it's not worth much, I know that you want to scold me, just scold me if you want to!"

Wang Ji smiled slightly: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's just that I want to ask for me to be released?"

Lao Mai glanced at him, and then smiled for a while: "If it is feasible, I will lock you up?" Let's lock you up because I'm afraid that you will make some tricks, we understand people, and we understand that you have a hand in remediating the people, and I am afraid that the people will raise their knives to kill us." ”

"This ......... How could I?"

Lao Mai rolled up his sleeves and said: "If you think this place is small, you can open the door and go out, just don't go out of the yard, your wife and maid can enter and leave, is this finally feasible?"

Wang Ji smiled: "Feasible, feasible, Lao Mai After all, you are still afraid of Qi Hongtian, you are afraid that the people will raise their knives and kill and suppress them, which will anger Qi Hongtian, and he will tear and bite like a tiger." ”

Lao Mai Xiaoxiao grabbed the snacks on the table, put them in his mouth, and chewed carefully, this osmanthus cake is so sweet, it melts in the mouth, and there is a refreshing and cold feeling in his neck, he beckoned Wang Ji to come and sit down.

Wang Ji slowly walked from the head of the bed and sat down, Lao Mai smiled, held his shoulder, and said angrily: "Don't worry, don't worry, you are a person who understands, you are right, you are right, rest assured that we will not kill you, we have eaten soft osmanthus cake here with you, you are dead, where am I going to eat, let's take this bite, I am reluctant to die." ”

Wang Ji relaxed a little, and said with a smile: "Lao Mai, this osmanthus cake is only made by me, every late autumn I order the maid to pick, after countless rinsing, put it in the pot and fry it, personally knead the fragrance, and then steam, so that it is not only fragrant, but also tastes good." ”

"You can't tell you enough. ”

Wang Ji laughed and said: "You know everything when you say it, you have learned to do it, what can I do to save my life, I have a unique skill." ”

Lao Mai picked up the osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you old ghost is cowardly, I really don't know that your cold body hob light, majestic and majestic!

Wang Ji hurriedly explained: "If you talk nonsense after drinking, you will die in a proper place, and you will not be able to do it. ”
