"Cao Rou, you?" Ye Cheng looked over with some surprise. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And Cao Rou's words also attracted everyone's attention, and everyone's eyes were all focused on Cao Rou.

Bai Fang said worriedly, "Princess, how can this matter bother you?"

Ye Xiao An, who had black and white hair, also said worriedly, "Princess, let's take care of these things."

Cao Rou twisted her head and said, "I'm afraid that only I, the princess, can do these things, and I have already made the rich people believe in me before, and it will be more convenient to ask them for things this time."

"But..."Bai Fang was still not at ease.

Ye Cheng was also very worried, but when he saw Cao Rou's resolute expression, he knew that it was useless to dissuade, so he said calmly, "Actually, Cao Rou has already decided, so be it, but you can't let Cao Rou go alone, let's all go"

Ye Cheng said this mainly to reassure Bai Fang and Ye Xiao'an, who were worried about Cao Rou's safety. At the same time, he can feel more at ease.

"If you go, then let's go," Bai Fang said with some reassurance.

.......

Around the mountain, a large group of people came to the two-story palace-style building built on the outside of the mountain road. There are no campfires around the building, and the mountain road is a little dark, but you can still see each other clearly.

The door of the building was closed, and the inside was dim, except for the faint glow from the windows on the second floor.

"Is this it?" Ye Cheng looked at the building and asked.

The five apprentices quickly replied in the back, "It's here, it's here."

An apprentice ran to the right side of the building, pointed to the pillars used to support the house underneath the building, and shouted, "The entrance is here"

Suddenly, a faint light approached the door from the first floor, and then the door slowly opened, and an old man with gray hair stood inside the door with an oil lamp.

The old man was hunched over and dressed in a dark costume. In the faint light of the oil lamp, I saw the old man's wrinkled face, which was devoid of any moisture.

The moment the door opened, the other four apprentices looked at the right side of the building in a panic and whispered, "Come back, someone is coming out" and waved back with their hands in a panic.

At this time, the old man walked out of the building and slowly walked towards Cao Rou, who was standing in front of the door.

Knowing that the five apprentices had stolen the old man's things, everyone was a little nervous.

The apprentice standing on the right side of the building was a little overwhelmed just now. When he saw someone coming out, he immediately panicked and slowly paced towards the back of the crowd.

The old man came to the princess, his hunched body bowed slightly, and said very respectfully, "Princess, you are here, what are your orders this time?" ”

Cao Rou hurriedly bent over the old man's right shoulder and said, "Old man, you are my elder, you don't need to give me such a big gift."

"No, you are the only princess of the Heavenly Ancient Kingdom, and I should salute," the old man said.

Ye Cheng stood beside him, a little surprised. He now knew why Cao Rou didn't have to persecute the rich to get food, because among these rich people there were people who believed in the princess and admired the princess.

As long as you find these people, say what you want, and don't force them, they will give them themselves.

While the princess was talking to the old man, Ye Cheng took out his mobile phone on the side to check the time, and it was already early in the morning. Time was of the essence, and they had to launch a counterattack two or three hours before dawn.

"Old man, thank you for mobilizing everyone to donate food before, and now there are some things to trouble you, do you have explosives at home?" Cao Rou asked.

The old man looked at Cao Rou with a somewhat surprised expression and asked, "Princess, how did you know?" ”

"I'm sorry, but a few people sneaked into your house to steal some before, so...."Cao Rou explained apologetically.

The old man's expression immediately became serious, making the people around him nervous, and the five apprentices shrank behind the five brothers of the Zhu family and hid.

Suddenly, the old man smiled slightly and said, "No wonder the old man heard movement downstairs, but when he came down, he didn't see half a figure, it turned out to be like this." Come in with the old man."

Ye Cheng originally thought that the old man would lose his temper, but he didn't expect the old man to be so harmonious, he stepped forward and shouted, "Hello old man, don't you blame us for stealing things, don't you ask us what we do with explosives?" ”

The old man turned his back to everyone and said softly, "Don't ask, it must have something to do with the army under the mountain." That impostor emperor uses the princess as a gambling tool, and I will help the princess to win."

Ye Cheng was very surprised when he heard this, and he really didn't understand what the old man meant when he said this. He stepped forward and stood beside the old man and asked, "Sir, what do you mean by that?" ”

The old man turned around, stared at Ye Cheng, and asked suspiciously, "Why is your costume so strange?" ”

"Old man, when the war is over, I'm slowly explaining to you. Now please tell us, how did the emperor use the princess as a gambling tool? Ye Cheng asked anxiously.

The old man pondered for a while and explained, "Actually, you and those soldiers under the mountain are the emperor's gambling tools......

After listening to the old man's words, Ye Cheng looked shocked and clasped his hands angrily.

The crowd in front of the building was equally angry.

This battle is actually a game of attacking and defending the mountain city, they are the defenders of the mountain, and the soldiers below are the attacking side.

The 1,000 old, weak, sick and disabled were really deliberately assigned to them by the emperor in order to let the enemy army win. Then the emperor pressed the other party to win a lot of money, and won a lot of money from it.

Because of the opponent's combat strength, the gambling is not open to the other party, so the emperor can secretly manipulate the troops.

The emperor used to buy the victory of the side guarding the mountain, and every time, so the people who participated in the gambling began to doubt. So he deliberately reduced the number of soldiers guarding the mountain this time, so that everyone who participated in the gambling would buy the victory of the mountain, and the emperor would buy the victory of the enemy army at the last moment.

This game of attacking and defending the mountain city was originally completed by the soldiers of the Tiangu Kingdom. In order to make the game more realistic, the emperor ordered that all the losing side should be executed.

In order to survive, the soldiers, who were used as gambling tools, had to fight desperately and watch their own people beat their own people.

"This dog emperor actually let himself kill each other, it's too hateful," Zhu Zi'an roared angrily.

Zhu Ziju looked sideways to the right and asked, "Brother Xiao An and Brother Baifang, you are also from the Tiangu Kingdom, don't you know these things?" ”

Ye Xiaoan shook his head, and said with a solemn face, "I don't know"

Bai Fang also said with a solemn face, "Actually, I don't know too much, but I heard such a thing when I was at the border."

"Everyone," Ye Cheng turned to everyone in front of him, and said with a solemn face, "No matter why we won this battle before, but now we have another reason why we must win." That's to let this inhumane gambling game end after this time."

In the face of such exciting words, everyone raised their hands one by one in response.
