Since seeing Xu Nianzu's blind head with his own eyes yesterday, Xu Youqing has been frightened.

He's okay, after all, he once worked in Jinyiwei, although he was the emperor to protect the emperor, he hadn't seen anything really dangerous, and the most dangerous thing was that his chrysanthemum had suffered a bloodlight disaster, but after all, it was what the emperor wanted to do, and there was no way to do it.

It is not the turn of them to really see blood, and everyone like them who can walk in front of the emperor in the shadow of their father will do it, so if you have to say it, Xu Youqing is also a child of anointing, otherwise he would not not have been left by Zhu Yijun to do things.

When he returned to the house to take charge of housekeeping, although he held a lot of power, all the housework in the family was designed by Xu Jie, who was in charge of what things, he had his own set of systems, and as long as he was the heir to the long house, he could maintain the operation of the Xu family as long as he followed the rules.

The power of the Xu family is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, once such a big family is running, the entire Jiangnan will tremble.

So he didn't have a hard time, if I had to say it, that is, some of the people who went to the court to mix qualifications with his father, and his companions often chewed the root of his tongue, saying that he was the ** of Emperor Wanli.

Other than that, there's really not much to say.

Therefore, when he saw that death was so close to himself. First I was frightened, then I had nightmares, and the next morning I woke up and remembered that I shouldn't be scared, but angry.

As the head of the Xu family, how can you tolerate such a naked provocation from others?

But when he wanted to resist, he remembered that the entire city was surrounded by the Zhennan army, and the military forces in the city could not protect him from escaping through the blockade line, so it would be good to be able to protect himself in the city.

What's next?

What does the Zhennan Army want to do?

What is Xiao Ruxun going to do?

What is the intention of besieging the city and not attacking it?

Xu Youqing couldn't understand it at all, he hadn't heard any news in the past few days, and he felt that he was now deaf and blind.

Get up, get dressed, eat breakfast, and settle down, just as Xu Youqing was about to appear in front of the public as the head of the Xu family to stabilize the situation, a few soldiers suddenly rushed into the house, who seemed to be from the county government.

"Master Xu! Master Xu! The county wants you to hurry to the city wall! The army outside the city has blown the trumpet and beat the drums of war! It looks like it's going to be a siege! It's time to storm the city! ”

The entire Xu family's compound suddenly became in a commotion.

Xu Youqing's wife was so frightened that she quickly held on to the pillar next to her, and the scary people in the remaining courtyard were so frightened that they couldn't move.

At this moment, Xu Youqing also heard the faintly audible sound of war drums from outside the city.

Besiege?

Xiao Ruxun doesn't talk about it?

He's going to attack the city?

I have no grievances with him for a long time, and I don't know him at all, so why did he kill me? Why?

Xu Youqing really couldn't figure it out.

But he quickly came back to his senses, and he knew that now was not the time for him to shrink into his house, and if he had retreated into his house, everyone would know that he was cowardly, and he was afraid, so soon the city would be breached, and everyone would be killed, and everything in his house, all their wealth would be cheaper than these martial artists.

He had to go to the walls, he had to show a gesture, at least a gesture.

He gave orders to the guards in the house, to guard the courtyard wall, block the door of the house, and not to open the door to anyone except himself.

Wait for him to come back.

Xu Youqing strengthened his courage and asked anyone in the family who was willing to accompany him.

As a result, there are no more warriors like Xu Nianzu, everyone is a shrinking turtle, and no one wants to stand up.

Even if you die, there is a difference between early death and late death, isn't it?

Xu Youqing also knew that it was impossible for him to find someone who was willing to go with him, so Xu Youqing simply ordered Xu Shenqing and Xu Zhiqing to go with him.

Xu Shenqing and Xu Zhiqing felt that they had won the lottery, but the bad feeling was really unimaginable.

No matter what, you can't lose face by falling into your prestige, if the Xu family wants to continue to maintain such a life, you must maintain your majesty, as the real master of Huating County, Xu Youqing has to do this no matter what.

And when Xu Youqing arrived at the city tower, he didn't see the expected scene of a large number of enemy troops preparing to attack the city, only a few Zhennan Army soldiers were tossing the bird guns in their hands two or three hundred steps away from the city tower.

Xu Youqing suddenly felt as if he had been tricked, so he angrily questioned the Huating County Commander who had been staying on the city tower for a long time.

"This is what you call an enemy siege? Have you ever seen a dozen men attacking a city?! ”

The Huating County Commander was frightened, and stammered: "They...... And they do...... It's indeed a trumpet of war! They really planned to attack the city, but who knew that only a few people were sent, and I don't know why! ”

Xu Youqing also knew that this matter could not be blamed on the Huating County Commander, so he stared angrily at the dozen or so soldiers under the city.

"What are they going to do? Yes? A dozen people want to attack the city? If he Xiao Ruxun can fight again, can he take down the city with a dozen people? He thought that his subordinates were all heavenly soldiers and generals?! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the soldiers of the Zhennan Army below raising their bird guns against the city.

"They're going to attack the city!"

Xu Shenqing and Xu Zhiqing were taken aback and hurriedly retreated, Xu Youqing turned his head and looked at the two waste-like family members with great dissatisfaction.

"The bird can hit seventy or eighty steps at most, and there is no accuracy beyond fifty steps, what are you afraid of? They are at least three or four hundred paces below the city, and unless they are Franco, they can't hit it at all, what are you afraid ......of?"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Youqing's body suddenly shook, and he fell straight to the ground, and at the same time, two unlucky soldiers also fell to the ground on their backs.

Gunshots rang out, rubble flew, and the people at the head of the city were stunned.

Xu Zhiqing and Xu Shenqing's eyes widened, watching Xu Youqing fall face down on the ground, a big hole was punched in the back of his head, and blood was coming out, and he was silent.

"Ah——————————!!!!h

There was a terrible shout from the top of the city.

Under the city, ten flintlock men with accurate marksmanship completed a shooting under the guidance of the craftsman, and the craftsman who looked at the city head with a clairvoyant mirror witnessed a guy with his back to the outside of the city being unlucky to be shot in the head, and he fell directly without a trace, obviously, he was killed.

The rest of the soldiers saw the two soldiers in the city fall again, and it was obvious that the experiment was successful, and the guns in their hands really killed three people from such a long distance, and three people with ten bullets, what an astonishing accuracy!

Zheng Ying also rushed over, and he also saw a soldier in the clairglass who had been shot in the head, and there was nothing to doubt at this moment, so he immediately ordered the flintlock to continue shooting.

"Give me a few more rounds and let them see how powerful our guns are!"

Zheng Ying laughed vigorously.
