Then the night faded and dawn rose.

In a white sky, the barracks of the rebel army in the distance are continuous, which is particularly eye-catching.

The camp of 20,000 people, full of bonfires, like stars in the sky, when the first light came, revealed a neat and orderly camp.

Xie Yan stood at the head of the city, looked at the military camp under the city, and suddenly fell into deep thought.

Xie Xuan, who was beside him, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, because the other party was so powerful, he had to stand aside and didn't dare to step forward.

Xie Xuan has both respected and feared this father since he was a child, even if he has some ambitions, as long as his father is alive, he will never dare to have other ideas.

Following his father's gaze, Xie Xuan set his eyes on the large camp that stretched for several miles, the military camp was staggered, neat and orderly, and seemed well-trained.

"Morale is high, strength is strong!" Xie Xuan looked at the army under the city with some greed, if this army belonged to him, then everything he wanted to have must be at his fingertips.

It's a pity that such an army belongs to Yang Qi, the leader of the Ansan anti-thieves.

Xie Xuan was very curious about this young man of his age.

At this time, Xie Yan, who was in silence, came back to his senses.

"Wu'er, how many soldiers are there in Dragon Pavilion City now?" Staring at the large camp that stretched for several miles, Xie Yan asked in a hoarse voice.

This voice was very low, and no one else could hear it except Xie Xuan beside him.

Xie Xuan's heart moved, and when he looked up, he saw that there was still a strong flame in his father's eyes, and he replied: "Father, there are still more than 3,000 people in the city, and many soldiers left the barracks at night and went..." ”

"Three thousand! Ay! I understand. The flame in Xie Yan's eyes was extinguished in a blink of an eye, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he sighed in his heart, his huge foundation had been wiped out in this battle.

“…… How's the morale now? How many people are there to fight? Xie Yan continued to ask.

"Father, the soldiers in the inner city, a few days of recuperation, may be able to restore morale and combat strength." Xie Xuan thought for a while and said, "But the inner city lacks supplies and food, so it won't last long. ”

After hearing this, Xie Yan's eyes dimmed, and he sighed, as if he had exhausted his strength, and said dejectedly: "Alas, time is also fate." ”

Xie Yan had already burst into tears, and Wang Tu's hegemony disappeared like this, and then looked into the distance and was silent for a long time.

Xie Yan is the city lord of Longcheng Pavilion, how can he not know, after this battle, he has been completely defeated, and he has suffered heavy casualties.

If the troops of Yanchuan County do not come to reinforce them, these remnants of officers and soldiers will be annihilated sooner or later.

Xie Yan looked at the continuous camp below, if he still had more than 10,000 soldiers to fight, he would dare to fight and attack the camp at night, but now......

"Father, do you ...... Determined to surrender? In this case, Xie Xuan wanted to know what decision his father would make, which was related to his future survival and the fate of the Xie family, so Xie Xuan said in a hesitant voice: "After all, the other party is a thief, if you anger the other party......

"Let me think again. If Yang Qi sends an envoy into the city, you will say that I am ill and collapsed, and I will delay for a while, alas, let me think about it again......" Sighing, Xie Yan turned around and went down the city tower. Xie Xuan followed.

On the tower of the city passing by, the severed and wounded soldiers groaned in a low voice, constantly entering the ears, and the bloody breath of the nose made the governor frown.

"It is good to settle these wounded, and don't give up if you can treat them." When going downstairs, Xie Yan turned around and said to Xie Xuan, who followed him to the stone steps of the city tower.

"Rest assured, father, the child has summoned the city physician and asked them to fetch the stock of gold sore medicine for the treatment of these soldiers." Xie Xuan can still guarantee this.

Xie Yan nodded, he urgently needed to go back now, take a rest, and think about what decision to make next.

The battlefield in the outer city has been cleaned up, and now only the inner city is left, Yang Qi will definitely look at it, what should I do now?

After descending the city wall, he staggered back to the governor's mansion.

"Already back?" Looking out of the car window, it was obvious that he had arrived at the Grand Marshal's Mansion, and at this time, the sound of gongs and drums came faintly from a distance.

The scene in front of him made him frown violently.

Five or six servants of the mansion were being tied up by the soldiers, and they were dragged towards the mansion in an extremely embarrassed manner, and the butler standing at the door stared with gloomy faces.

Xie Yan glanced at it, didn't squeak at first, stomped under the porch, walked into the hall alone, sat on the chair, and slowly finished a cup of tea before saying, "Let the housekeeper come in." ”

"Yes!" The soldiers who followed immediately responded, and when they heard the order, they immediately conveyed the order.

"Marshal, you're back." A moment later, the butler came in, put on a smiling face, and came to salute.

"What's going on with them?" Xie Yan's eyes locked on the butler's face, and asked in a deep voice: "Let's say, they all used the personal soldiers in the house, what's the matter with these people?" At this time, could it be...... Is there still a rebellion in the family? ”

Swept away by Xie Yan's gaze, the housekeeper's back was cold, and he almost trembled: "Dashuai, these minions are not rebellious, they are just ...... Just ......"

"Just what?" Xie Yan sat on the chair and asked coldly, no wonder Xie Yan thought of this, the situation was chaotic at this time, and he was naturally suspicious.

"They are afraid of things and want to take advantage of the chaos to escape!" The housekeeper stood in front of Xie Yan with his head bowed and said cautiously.

"Escape?" Xie Yan is a smart person, and when he understood the cause and effect, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Hehe, what is this kind of behavior that is not considered rebellion? The head of the family is in danger, and the servant not only does not want to live and die with the Xie family, but wants to slip away, but he is really a loyal servant. Why, the officials and troops inside and outside the city were defeated, and they, the minions, noticed that it was not good? Hehe, such a keenness, what a talent, talent! ”

He sneered and muttered to himself, and the butler standing opposite him lowered his head, not even daring to look at him.

"Dashuai, what should you do with these minions...... Whether, whether to kill ......" Until Xie Yan was silent for a long time, the housekeeper asked cautiously.

As the housekeeper of the Xie family, he still has some understanding of the head of the metabolic family, knowing that Xie Yan seems to be calm at this time, but in fact, he is already on the verge of anger, and if he doesn't handle it well, he is afraid that it will affect his own safety, as if he can't see the cautious appearance of the person in front of him at all.

Xie Yan turned around and waved his hand casually: "Leave it to you to deal with, there are rules in the house, as a housekeeper, you naturally know how to handle it, you go down, tell them to guard outside, if I don't call, I won't be allowed to enter." ”

"Yes!" Ignoring the cold sweat on his head, the butler cautiously exited the study and closed the door after receiving the order.

When he went out, the housekeeper walked to the corridor, and someone greeted him: "Uncle Park." ”

"Beat these minions to death!" The butler said with a gloomy face.
