Qi Bo looked at the faces full of grievances, sighed deeply, and forced the anger in his heart to ask: "The ancestors of several of you were the elders of the tribe back then, I remember that on the last few pages of the tribal genealogy, there is an account of why the clansmen chose Quicksand City as the tribal station, right? Didn't you kneel down to read the genealogy on the day you became the head of the family? Or did you all sit on the patriarch's seat with improper intrigues and tricks, and you are not qualified to enter the ancestral ancestral hall?!"

Uncle Qi's words were poisonous and ruthless, and the faces of several family heads became ugly, and some people lowered their heads in shame. They bowed their heads, not because they were touched by the old man's words, but because the genealogy had dozens of thick books, and the content recorded in them was quite messy, although they had read it at the time, but after many years, many details had long been forgotten, and now after listening to the old man's reprimand after entering the door, they knew that there must be something important on the genealogy that was ignored, and it was likely to change the fate of thousands of people in Quicksand City, if this was the case, their sin would be great.

"Black Tiger, as the city lord, have you forgotten it?" Qi Bo squinted at Xu Heihu and asked coldly.

"I ......"

Xu Heihu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and tried to recall: "I only remember that the genealogy said that when the ancestors found the quicksand city, it was dilapidated and had long been deserted, but the city wall was tall, and the stone used to build the city was also the hardest ink bluestone in the desert, and the four city gates were ......" Speaking of this, Xu Heihu was stunned, his eyes widened wider and wider, his lips trembled for a while, and his nervous throat rolled up and down several times before he patted his head and said loudly: "Four city gates, yes, I remember!" Quicksand City originally had four city gates, but the ancestors later blocked two, leaving only the south gate and two city gates for passage, and the east and west gates were actually not blocked, so as to leave a way for the clansmen to escape in times of danger!

With Xu Heihu's words, the eyes of several other family heads also lit up, and the dull and depressing atmosphere in the hall was finally broken, and their tired bodies seemed to be full of vitality again.

"yes, I remembered, too. Yu Hua patted his thigh and said in surprise: "The demon army only knows that Quicksand City has two gates, north and south, and they definitely didn't expect that we would escape from the east and west, and their sentry posts would not stare at the city walls on both sides, it seems that our people are saved." ”

"Great. Yan Sha didn't care about the pain of the wound on his face when he spoke, and said: "Then we will let the people prepare to flee now, while it is dark, the demon army will definitely not think that when they attack tomorrow, this place will become an empty city, Qibo, you are really the lucky star of the clan, I Yan Sha represents the Yan family, no, on behalf of the people of the whole city, I kowtow to you." ”

"Excuse me. Uncle Qi's face also softened, and said: "The reason why our quicksand tribe can be passed on to the present is because everything will be left behind, and there will be a way back, you remember, everything can be forgotten, and the most important thing that cannot be forgotten is the past, which is history." His gaze fell on Ye Haotian's face and smiled, "Ye Gongzi, I remember that you said something to me in the prison a few days ago, that sentence came from your master, he said that every old man is a priceless treasure, and they will have something on them that you can never finish, that teacher of yours is really amazing." ”

Looking at the faint smile on the old man's face and feeling the little pride in his voice, the expression on Ye Haotian's face became complicated.

"Seventh uncle, Lao Xu, several heads of the family. Ye Haotian said in a low voice: "There is one thing, I don't think you don't know yet, but I have to say, that is, even if we open the East and West City Gate, we can't run." ”

......

......

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Everyone's faces became a little embarrassed, at this time, they knew that Ye Haotian would never joke, let alone pour cold water on them for no reason.

Especially just after learning about Ye Haotian's special identity, coupled with his performance in the two city battles, several patriarchs have invisibly developed an almost blind agreement with his words.

"Why?" Su Ning'er's smile froze on her face before it dissipated.

"You don't know about the Blood Skull Legion. ”

Ye Haotian smiled bitterly and said slowly: "I don't know about Ying Jiu either. Although their army is camped outside the north gate, I believe that the entire quicksand city is under their surveillance, especially at night, there will be more checkpoints, and the sound of horses' hooves will also alarm them...... Think about it, the people in the city are not good at horsemanship, they must use chariots and horses when there are many people, and the speed must be slow, and the demon army is a battle-hardened veteran, once they start a chase, what will be the result?"

Listening to Ye Haotian's words, Yu Hua and the others' faces suddenly became gloomy.

"Besides, it's the Demon Clan's Blood Skull Legion. Ye Haotian continued: "Their greatest preference is to slaughter the city, in the past two years, they have broken through twenty-one border cities in a row, have you ever heard of any of the people in the city who escaped from their pursuit? No, not a single one! In today's battle, they were defeated in the case of absolute superiority in troops, I believe this is the biggest loss they have suffered in more than a year, think about it from a different position, do you think they will let us go?"

"Definitely not. Su Ning'er interjected: "I think, maybe they are discussing how to torture us after breaking the city, what do you say, Zhuzhu?"

Zhuzhu looked up at Su Ning'er, but still nodded.

"Could it be that the only hope is gone?" Yan Sha sat down on the recliner, and the light in his eyes dimmed instantly.

Qibo looked at Ye Haotian with a calm face, and did not show a disappointed expression because of these words, until he finished speaking, he said: "The demon army is besieging the city, and it is not easy to escape, which is not surprising. Ye Gongzi's worries are not unreasonable, but you may have misunderstood what I meant. ”

"Uncle Qi, you say. Ye Haotian said hurriedly.

Qibo glanced around at the several family heads present, and said slowly: "When I say fleeing, I am not referring to ordinary people, but to those young and strong soldiers in the city and the heirs of your major families. ”

"What, us?"

Xu Heihu's eyes widened and said, "We are all the main force resisting the demon army, we have all run away, what about the people?"

Uncle Qi turned his head to stare at Xu Heihu's face, and said coldly: "What are the first and last of the ancestral teachings of the quicksand tribe?"

Xu Heihu was stunned, he stared at Qibo in a daze for a long time, his eyes suddenly burst into tears, and he spit out two words with difficulty: "Will, got." ”

"What's the explanation?" Qibo's voice became even colder.

"There is a sacrifice to get, there is a abandon to keep the ......" Xu Heihu choked up before he finished speaking: "Seventh uncle, I understand what you mean, the ancestral training is even more dare not forget, but when the ancestors fled the tribe, it was with the old and weak women and children of the entire tribe, we are the men and guardians of the tribe, but now we have to leave the tribe and flee by ourselves, I don't do it! Even if I die, I will die with the people in the city, don't forget, I am not only the descendant of the quicksand army, but also the soldier of the Great Xia Kingdom, and the city lord of the quicksand city!"
