Ye Haotian was shocked by Xu Heihu's words and did not say anything for a long time.

A year ago, he and Xu Heihu met and became friends.

In Ye Haotian's eyes, this guy who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and gambles everything, sometimes kills people when he pulls out a knife when he is short-tempered, and sometimes he is timid and cunning, and he is really not a man who is a city lord.

According to Ye Haotian's speculation, as long as he heard that the demon army was besieging the city, he believed that Xu Heihu would definitely be the first to escape, but he didn't expect that he would be able to say such a powerful thing in the face of life and death, which was really unexpected.

"You...... It's not a joke, is it?" Ye Haotian asked after a long pause.

Xu Heihu's face sank like water, and his face with black beard faintly revealed an iron-blooded and brave killing aura.

"You take Zhuzhu away, and the second sister, they can go as fast as they can. ”

"You're really not leaving?" Ye Haotian still couldn't believe Xu Heihu's words.

Xu Heihu's eyes widened: "Didn't I say it clearly enough?"

"It's going to die. Ye Haotian reminded.

Xu Heihu said angrily: "Could it be that in your mind, Lao Tzu is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"Isn't it?" Ye Haotian said in surprise.

Xu Heihu's face turned green, he took a deep breath, held back his anger and said: "Lao Tzu is a soldier, a soldier of the Great Xia Kingdom, Ye Haotian, you remember, but everyone who can become the lord of the city has sworn in front of the monument of the first emperor of Great Xia, the city is in the people, and the city is dead, this is the first article of the military discipline of Great Xia, do you understand?"

Looking at Xu Heihu's cold and resolute eyes, listening to his sonorous and powerful words, Ye Haotian was silent.

He suddenly felt a little frustrated, and he didn't understand why he kept looking at the wrong person. Leper Jiu, he saw it wrong, Bai Ze, he saw it wrong, Chen Cripple, he saw it wrong, Du Wusheng, he also saw it wrong, and now, even Xu Heihu, who had always thought that he was more greedy for life and afraid of death than himself, was wrong...... What the hell is wrong with this world?

Why does everyone have two completely different faces, which one is true and which is false, or is it true or both are false?

Just when Ye Haotian was confused, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the study, and a soldier covered in dirt and wearing the uniform of the patrol captain stumbled in from the outside while shouting the city lord, because he was too panicked, he directly hit Ye Haotian when he crossed the threshold, but he didn't even look at Ye Haotian and rushed to Xu Heihu.

"Report, report to the city lord, it's not good. ”

Say. Xu Heihu said coldly.

"Fifteen miles north of the city, I found an army of demons. ”

Xu Heihu nodded calmly, and said in a deep voice: "Got it......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard something wrong, and exclaimed: "What?

"Yes, north of the city, a large group of demon cavalry, the number is about two thousand, judging from the direction of the march, the target is our quicksand city. The patrol leader gasped.

Ye Haotian's face also changed, he took a few steps forward, grabbed the patrol leader's wrist, and said hurriedly: "You say it again, is it south of the city or north of the city?"

"Chengbei...... Ye Gongzi?" the patrol soldier saw Ye Haotian clearly.

"Not Seongnam?"

"It's not. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure. ”

"Really?"

“......”

The patrol captain was a little stunned, he blinked, thinking to himself that he had been a patrol soldier for seven or eight years, could he not even distinguish between north and south? But being forced by Ye Haotian to ask like this, his brain was in a mess for a while, and at this time, another herald rushed in outside.

"Report to the lord of the city, the demon army has been found in the south of the city......"

......

......

It was quiet in the study.

Xu Heihu and Ye Haotian, you look at me, I look at you, and they didn't speak. The two soldiers who reported the news looked at each other with shocked faces, and because they were in a hurry, their sideburns wet with sweat continued to rise.

"We are surrounded. ”

Xu Heihu was the first to break the silence in the room, and his voice was very heavy.

Ye Haotian smiled bitterly, "It seems to be so." ”

"You shouldn't have come back. Xu Heihu stared at Ye Haotian's eyes and said slowly: "If you run away directly, you may be able to escape for your life." ”

Ye Haotian shook his head, and was about to explain two sentences, when Xu Heihu suddenly shouted: "Don't tell me that you don't know the marching habits of the Demon Blood Skull Legion! Every time they attack the city, they will divide the way and block all the city gates at the same time, which will not give people any chance to escape." If you don't go back to the city to report and flee directly, with your cleverness, there is no reason why you can't escape!"

Seemingly stunned by Xu Heihu's sudden rage, Ye Haotian was stunned for a long time, and finally nodded very seriously.

"Well, I'll admit it. I admit that if I run away immediately when I meet Wang Wu, I will be 100% sure of bypassing the encirclement of the demon army, but I am worried about you, about the second sister and the brothers in the city, I hope you can go with me, I hope you will live with me! But who knows what you idiot is talking about the that the city is in the city, and the city is dead, if it weren't for your grinding, we would have left the city by now, who would have thought that when you were really going to die, you would have become backbone? You say, can you blame me?"

In the end, Ye Haotian's voice also raised, and he kicked the door frame in annoyance, and a buzzing tremor sounded in the room.

Xu Heihu opened his mouth and looked at Ye Haotian's figure, his face was full of anger but he didn't speak for a long time, I don't know how long it took, there was gradually a layer of mist in his eyes. He and Ye Haotian have been together for more than a year, and he knows too well about this seemingly immature and simple but slippery and cunning young man, in his impression, although the two are friends, the friendship is not deep enough to live and die together, but in front of him, he actually came back, and he didn't believe that this guy didn't think about what the fate of not being able to escape was.

This is a friend, this is a brotherhood that no amount of money can buy.

Ye Haotian glanced at the stunned two soldiers next to him, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said indifferently: "It's okay now, it's too late to leave, since you can't run, then you don't have to choose, just have a good fight with these demon cubs, this is our territory, don't look at the number of them, if you really fight, it's not certain who will die." You two said yes, right?"

"Oh, huh?"

The two soldiers didn't know if they were overly frightened or confused by the sudden quarrel between the two in the house, and they didn't understand what Ye Haotian said for a while.

"Forget it. Ye Haotian glanced at them depressedly, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said to Xu Heihu: "You are the city lord, now the demon army will besiege the city immediately, it's too late to say anything, let's say, how to fight this battle?"

Xu Heihu's eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Ye Haotian, he turned his head sharply, his eyes fell on the two soldiers, and a loud and majestic voice sounded in the study: "Pass my military orders, beat the drum, and meet the enemy!"

......

......

In the quicksand city, the drum shook the sky, a famous city defense soldier held a bow and crossbow blade in the rapid war drums to climb the eight-meter-high city wall, one by one lying in front of the city wall battlements, covered by the black curtain cloth of the city defense ballista like a giant beast floating to the bottom of the water with the curtain cloth unveiled in the dim sky to reveal the hideous claws.

The people and traders who walked in the streets and alleys of the city were in an uproar when they heard the sound of the drums, and they all ran towards their homes with screams. The hunters and cultivators who were sitting in the restaurant eating and chatting heard the sound of drums and walked into the street one after another, and the faces of the people who were scattered became extremely ugly, and their eyes fell on the high drum tower in the middle of the city.

The drums were still ringing, and the rapid roar spread throughout Quicksand City. A veteran walked out of the courtyard gate, stood at the entrance of the alley, squinted his eyes and looked at the drum tower in the distance, and whispered: "Anmin drum, vibrating military drum, Shangjia drum...... Tongsheng drums. ”

"It's the Tongsheng Drum!" the veteran's face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in the room behind him: "It's a Tongsheng drum that is only used for first-level combat readiness." ”

At the same time, the heralds shuttling through the streets and alleys of the city also let out a rapid and sharp shout: "The demon army is besieging the city, the whole city has entered the first level of combat readiness, and the city defense army is in urgent need of reinforcements......"

With the voice of the herald, the hunters and cultivators standing on the street unconsciously reached out and touched the weapons on their bodies, turned around and ran quickly in the direction of the two city gates.
