179 Escape Plan
After hearing Xu Heihu's words, several other family heads also stood up.
"Yes, if you want to die, you will die together, the people are also our clansmen, if you leave them to the demon army to be slaughtered, then it is better to die, my Yan family children will never escape." ”
"The rest of my family also stayed, and if I can't save the people and go together, then we will die together. ”
"Our Xu family will not leave, if we really want to leave hope for the tribe, let's choose some young men and women from the ordinary people to escape. ”
......
Seeing several heads of the family resolutely expressing their attitudes, Qi Bo's face became ugly, he slapped the table and stood up, and scolded sharply: "A group of fools! You only know how to work hard, who will continue the inheritance of that clan? Have you even forgotten the words 'endure humiliation and bear the burden'? Today, just after a big battle, seven or eight out of ten men died, and the reason why you are allowed to flee is because ...... It is because there are not many men left in the city except your people. ”
In the end, Uncle Qi couldn't control his sadness anymore, tears appeared in his faint old eyes, and he suddenly lay on the table and cried out like a child.
Ye Haotian was a little stupid.
Everyone in the room was stunned.
The hoarse cry of the seventh uncle echoed in the empty hall, looking so desolate and sad.
Gradually, Xu Heihu and the others all had tears in their eyes, and only now did they think that after the battle during the day, more than 3,000 of the 4,000 men in the city died, and half of the remaining 700 people were wounded.
Men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place, the men on the border are fierce and fierce, they have always bled without tears, if they don't really reach a desperate situation, if they are not really helpless to the extreme, how can they cry out in front of so many people?
This scene shocked those who watched.
This scene, the hearts of those who watch it are like knives.
This scene made the people who watched it break their hearts and intestines.
Ye Haotian suddenly thought of what happened at the senators' meeting last night, the Zheng family wanted to hand himself over to the demon army in order to protect the safety of the clansmen, what was wrong with him? And today Yu Hua Yansha was willing to give up the chance to let the clansmen live in order to protect the people, could this be the real quicksand clansmen?
"Wow......"
Infected by the atmosphere in the hall, Su Ning'er could no longer control her sad emotions, and couldn't help crying loudly. Zhuzhu on the side also bit her lip tightly, and her face was extremely sad.
Looking at the painbroken faces in front of him, hearing the helpless cry of grief, Ye Haotian's clenched fists clenched tighter and tighter, his nails dug deep into the flesh, he took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "Seventh uncle, several family heads, don't cry, things haven't reached the point of despair." ”
Hearing the voice, several people cried, and they all looked up at Ye Haotian, everyone's eyes showed a look of incomprehension, Zhuzhu saw the expression on Ye Haotian's face, and suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Ye Gongzi, what do you mean?" Qi Bo asked in a hoarse voice.
Ye Haotian gritted his teeth and said slowly: "I thought of a way to maybe let the demon army temporarily retreat and buy some time for the people to escape." ”
"What's the way?" Su Ning'er wiped a handful of tears and asked first: "If there is a way, you didn't say it earlier!
Ye Haotian glanced at Su Ning'er, smiled reluctantly, and said calmly: "The solution is very simple, that is, hand me over to the demon army." ”
"What?"
Xu Heihu's eyes widened, and he said almost at the same time: "No!"
"Ye Haotian, are you stupid?" Xu Heihu said: "The demon army besieged Quicksand City, saying that it was to find you, but it was the Blood Skull Legion, even if they handed you over, they would also slaughter the city!
"Ye Gongzi. Xu Changqing said: "Our quicksand tribe will never betray friends, you must not think that you are involved in Quicksand City, not to mention that this will not save us, even if we can really save it, we will not agree." ”
"Lao Xu is right. ”
Yan Sha and the others also resolutely objected, and the house was suddenly in chaos.
"You don't understand what I mean. Ye Haotian interrupted them and said, "I said that handing myself over to the demon army was just a ploy. ”
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Ye Haotian continued: "The demon army is attacking the city to capture me, if you can't catch me, even if you can't kill ten quicksand cities, there is no point in slaughtering ten quicksand cities." That's why I'm qualified to negotiate terms with them. ”
"What conditions?" Su Ning'er said strangely.
"Retire. Ye Haotian said: "The reason why the demon army is monitoring Quicksand City so closely is to prevent me from escaping. Ying Jiu grew up with me, and he knows that I am soft-hearted and will not abandon you, and if I make it a condition to withdraw from the army, he will definitely agree, even if it is just pretending, so that we can increase our chances of survival. ”
Qi Bo wiped his tears and said, "Demon wizards have always been suspicious, if they still secretly send people to monitor Quicksand City, as soon as the people leave the city, won't they still be detected?"
Ye Haotian said: "They will definitely send someone to monitor, this is a desert, there is nothing to cover for dozens of miles around, and it is impossible to sneak out of the city." I will let them retreat twenty miles, this is just to keep a distance, even if they are discovered, it will take time for them to chase after them, and the chances of escape will be much greater. ”
"That makes sense. Su Ning'er was pleasantly surprised: "You can let them retreat farther, thirty miles, no, fifty miles!"
Ye Haotian turned his head helplessly to look at Su Ning'er, and once again the idea of an idiot appeared in his mind, and he said angrily: "Wouldn't it be better for me to let them go directly back to the Extreme North Snow Region?"
"Huh?" Su Ning'er paused.
"If you retreat too far, Ying Jiu will be suspicious. Zhuzhu explained in a whisper.
"Oh, that sounds like that, too. Su Ning'er stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.
Second Sister Su suddenly asked, "What about you, if the demon army agrees to your request and really retreats twenty miles, will you go with us?"
Ye Haotian was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Ying Jiu is not so easy to deceive, if he can't see my shadow, he won't retreat." Even if the army withdraws, there will be some guards left around to prevent me from escaping, and I will stay and hold them back. ”
"No, it's too dangerous!" Xu Heihu said, "What if you are caught by them?"
"You're underestimating me, too. Ye Haotian pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "If I want to escape, do you think I can be caught with just a few infants?"
