"You are..."

The two bull's eyes of the big yellow cow glared, and their eyes were full of joy, and they were about to say Chen An's name, Chen An hurriedly covered its mouth and made a look. The big scalper understood and said loudly:

"Ah, poor man, you are so hungry that you want to eat my meat, so let you in. ”

The people on the city wall looked puzzled, wondering why the big scalper behaved like this, and the refugees lying on the ground looked delighted.

"City Lord, open the gates and let them in. ”

The big scalper turned his head and winked at Shui Yurou, who had a strange face and asked Zheng Po to open the city gate. Seeing this, Chen An immediately bent over, and kept shouting in his mouth:

"Thank you, the city lord, the city lord is really a bodhisattva. ”

Seeing this, the people in Fengshan Camp behind him followed Chen An's example and thanked him, which can be regarded as decent. The second stunned man immediately stood up, wiped away his non-existent tears, and walked behind Chen An with a smile. Then he suddenly remembered something, and when he looked back, he saw that Liu Xunzhen was still lying on the ground, so he turned around and kicked it.

Liu Xunzhen was furious, and he wanted to get angry when he stood up, and then after glancing at the people standing on the city wall, he had to swallow his anger and follow silently with his head down.

A group of people followed the big scalper into the city gate, Shui Yurou and the others did not appear, the big scalper took them all the way left and right, and finally stopped in the school yard, glanced at everyone, and then said:

"You stay here first, and later our city lord will bring you bedding and rice, and I have something to do, so I have to leave first." By the way, who are you in the lead? ”

Chen An immediately stood up and said with a smile on his face:

"It's me, it's me, hey Uncle Niu, what do you command. Rest assured, we are absolutely honest and will not cause you any trouble. ”

The big scalper nodded lightly, glanced at Chen An, and said flatly:

"Well, you come with me, I'll take you to the city lord. ”

As soon as the words fell, two more people ran over one after another, and one of them said with a smile:

"Uncle Niu, I'll go too, I'm also the leader. ”

The other said in a humble voice:

"Where is Childe going?

"Childe?"

The big scalper was surprised and looked at Chen An, Chen An glared at him and explained helplessly:

"This is my servant, he has been a little stupid since he was a child, I see that he is still diligent and practical, so I let him follow me all the time. ”

The big scalper nodded, then looked at Liu Xunzhen and asked:

"Who is this?"

Liu Xunzhen hurriedly spoke:

"I'm his good brother, and we usually discuss things together. ”

The big scalper sighed, didn't ask any more questions, and left with the three of them. After their figures disappeared, the crooked men who were lying on the school field suddenly sat up neatly.

One of the middle-aged men waved his hand, and the group returned to their previous lazy appearance, but their eyes were sharp, carefully surveying everything around them.

Out of the school field, and out of a distance, the big scalper's face changed, happy joy welled up on his face, and when he turned back to find Chen An to catch up with the old days, he suddenly saw that Chen An was still flattering. Its heart moved slightly, so it forcibly suppressed the excitement and doubts in its heart, turned its head and continued to move forward, thinking in its heart:

"What the hell does this guy Chen An want to do. ”

Qingshi City is not big, from the school field to the city lord's mansion, it only takes half an hour, only Xiaoqin stands in front of the screen in the side hall, Shui Yurou did not show up, but sat behind the screen. This made Liu Xunzhen, who was looking forward to it, very disappointed, and when he was about to speak out, he was pulled by Chen An's sleeves and bent down.

Chen An said with a look of gratitude:

"Thank you, city lord, for saving me. ”

Shui Yurou's flat voice came from behind the screen:

"If it's thanksgiving, why don't you bow down and show more sincerity. ”

Chen An's expression froze, and then he raised his eyes to look at the big scalper, who looked away with a blank face. Chen An immediately knew that Shui Yurou knew his identity, snorted lightly in his heart, and said secretly:

"If you want to take advantage of me, no way. ”

So his face showed a look of embarrassment, and he replied:

"The city lord doesn't know that Xiaomin's knee was injured during the escape, and now the pain is so tight that he really can't kneel. ”

Shui Yurou didn't speak, but Chen An seemed to hear a chuckle from behind the screen, and then heard Shui Yurou speak:

"Which city are you from? ”

Chen An replied without thinking:

"Tushan City. ”

Shui Yurou hummed lightly, and asked again:

"Along the way, I saw a large number of troops rushing here. ”

Chen An gritted his teeth and said:

"I have seen that those armies are the people who invaded our city, they are the giant army, I heard that their leaders are Fengshan Lishi, Tushan City Lord, Huailin City Lord, and Wuguan City Lord, these people first caused us homeless, and after seeing us, they took pleasure in chasing and teasing us, which is really hateful. ”

Shui Yurou chuckled lightly when she heard this, and continued to ask:

"As far as I know, Juqing City's trip is to capture our Bluestone City, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place. ”

Chen An frowned, and suddenly showed a painful look, he said in his heart that this must be Fengshan Lux listening through the qi machine. So he took a deep breath, his expression returned to normal, shook his head, and replied;

"Lord of the City, we are not wrong. The big guy and I discussed it all the way. Later, we found out that it wasn't just Juqing City's idea to fight Bluestone City. There are also Wind and Snow City, Big Jiang City, and Musang City will all come here, so at that time, they will definitely fight for Bluestone City, and we will be the safest at that time. ”

Shui Yurou hummed lightly, and then said calmly:

"You're just a bunch of refugees on the run, why do you know these things? ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xunzhen's expression became nervous, and secretly pulled Chen An's sleeve, Chen An smiled slightly, and explained:

"Back to the city lord, these people have been on duty in the city lord's mansion before, so they know a little bit. ”

"Oh~ I didn't expect you to have such a background, yes, you will stay later, I want to ask you something. ”

Shui Yurou's tone seemed to be a little happy.

"And I still know a lot of things. ”

Seeing this, Liu Xunzhen would not let go of the opportunity to see Shui Yurou, and hurriedly said.

"Hey, why does your voice sound familiar to me?"

Shui Yurou wondered.

Liu Xun was really afraid that he would be exposed, and then coughed violently a few times, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Ahem, it may be that Xiaomin's voice is too ordinary, the city lord heard it wrong. ”

There was silence behind the screen, and then Shui Yurou said slowly:

"Yes. ”

Liu Xunzhen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and then Shui Yurou ordered Xiaoqin and another maid to remove the screen, and Liu Xunzhen was able to see Shui Yurou's face up close. For a while, I couldn't help but be shocked, and my eyes were straight.

Shui Yurou frowned slightly, feeling more and more familiar with this person, Chen An hurriedly poked Liu Xunzhen, and then he came back to his senses, lowered his head and said nothing.

Shui Yurou looked at Chen An with interest, Chen An's face was helpless, Shui Yurou chuckled, her expression returned to normal, and then said lightly:

"In that case, tell me what you know, and I will take precautions. ”

When Chen An heard this, he sensed the qi in his body, and he was displeased with Fengshan Lux when he told some secrets just now, and if he was exposed more now, he was afraid that he would be blown up on the spot.

However, what needs to be guarded against now is not only the qi left in the body of Fengshan Lux, but also Liu Xunzhen on the side, Chen An now does not dare to think that this is a complete foolishness, and there is always a vigilance in his heart.

So he organized the language, half-truths and half-truths to tell some things, the real things are insignificant, and the fake things are of little use to Bluestone City. However, in the process, Chen An vaguely revealed an extremely important information, if Shui Yurou could understand it, then it would win valuable time for Bluestone City.

After the big scalper took Chen An and the three of them away, Shui Yurou's slender fingers held her forehead, and she tapped the table with her other hand, and whispered to herself:

"The grass and trees are all soldiers, the wind is loud, what do these eight words mean?"

A dustless man in a green robe walked out from the side, smiled slightly, and said:

These eight words are an allusion to our earthly world, according to legend, a thousand years ago, there was a dynasty called Daebong, the founding monarch of this dynasty defeated his enemies and fled. In the process of pursuit, those enemies fled for days and days, and had little time to rest, and their spirits were always nervous, and when they saw the grass and trees on the mountain, they thought they were the soldiers of Daebong, and when they heard the wind and the cranes, they also thought that they were the voices of the pursuers. ”

Hearing this, Shui Yurou frowned slightly and said:

"But at this moment, Juqing City is more like Dafeng, and we are those enemies. ”

Bai Lixi shook his head, looked into the distance, a gleam appeared in his eyes, and said:

"Chen An means to make these soldiers disguised as refugees mistakenly think that the hidden power of our Bluestone City is very strong, so that they don't dare to act rashly. By the time they react, the armies of the other large cities should have arrived, and then we would have a chance to maneuver. ”

"Hehe, Chen An, I didn't expect you to be the one I was waiting for to break the game. Perhaps, too, the old man. ”

Bai Lixi's face showed a sincere smile, and he walked out briskly.

Shui Yurou sat quietly for a long time with her eyes blank, and then suddenly chuckled, her eyes revealing a trace of amazing figure, lying on the table like a woman, and muttering:

"Chen An, I really still don't hate you. ”

After returning to the school grounds, some tents had been set up here, and the necessary supplies such as bedding and food were all available, but the people in the camps were standing outside, and the food and water were untouched.

Chen An came back and saw this scene, and asked with some surprise:

"Why don't you move, what are you doing standing here stupidly?"

Liu Xunzhen picked up a piece of dry food and took a bite, then spit it on the ground twice, and said in disgust:

"These things are so unpalatable that I can't eat them. ”

Chen An ignored him, but looked at one of the middle-aged men and asked:

"That's what you think?"

The middle-aged man looked resolute and replied:

"As long as it's something full, even if it's soil, my subordinates can swallow it. ”

Chen An frowned slightly, and suddenly smiled:

"And what are you doing for that?"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then plucked up his courage and said:

"Commander, with all due respect. I've always felt that there were a lot of flaws in our operation, and the people from Bluestone City had placed us in this remote place, and there were people watching over us outside the door. The subordinates felt that the people of Bluestone City might have already seen through us, and there might be poison in these foods and water. ”

Liu Xunzhen's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he immediately reached out to clasp his throat and retched. Chen An laughed, picked up a piece of dry food and chewed it slowly, and said while eating:

"You've guessed right, the people of Bluestone City have indeed seen through us, but even so, they can only turn a blind eye and try their best to prevent it. ”

The middle-aged man was puzzled and puzzled:

"How so. ”

Chen An smiled slightly and explained:

"Now that the army is coming, Bluestone City will be broken sooner or later, but if they don't let us into the city, then the iron hooves of the army will soon break through Bluestone City. But once we enter the city, we will inevitably spend time, and this time is their precious respite. ”

When everyone in Fengshan Camp heard this, they all looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of Chen An's words, and the middle-aged man said bluntly:

"In that case, why don't we just press the border with a large army and bother to sneak in, isn't it a waste of time. ”

Chen An shook his head and asked rhetorically:

"If a large army enters the city, according to the custom, what will it do with the people?"

The middle-aged man replied:

"Don't kill a person, don't rob a single penny. ”

Chen An asked again:

"If the wind and snow city and the Great Ginger City are overwhelmed, what is the use of the people and us. ”

The middle-aged man replied:

"Can be done with logistics. ”

Chen An smiled slightly, and secretly said that this military regulation is benevolent and righteous, so he asked again:

"What if the whole city rebels and our army is slaughtered? ”

The middle-aged man frowned and replied honestly:

"Not only are we soldiers cold, but in the battle of the Seven Domains, we will not be popular with the people, but it may also cause dissatisfaction in the main city, making the road to hegemony more and more difficult. ”

Chen An smiled and said slowly:

This is the true purpose of the Commander, and the main purpose of this trip is not to lurk, but to gather the hearts of the people. ”

Not only was Liu Xunzhen confused, but the people in Fengshan Camp were also very puzzled, Liu Xunzhen muttered in a low voice:

"It's not what I heard. ”

Chen An glanced at everyone and continued:

"Bluestone City can have the heart of resistance, only because the people and the Bluestone Army are of the same heart, and the people think that the resistance of the Bluestone Army is to protect them. And as long as we reach out to the people in a friendly way, help the people, and gain their trust, so that they can know that our giant army is not their enemy, but their friend. ”

Chen An looked solemn and said in a deep voice:

"Only by gaining the hearts of the people can we fundamentally break the resistance of Bluestone City, can we truly surrender without a fight, and can we defend the city under the attack of the cities of Wind and Snow City and Dajiang City. ”

"You guys, got it. ”

The faces of everyone in Fengshan Camp suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, and at the same time, there was also admiration and admiration for Chen An.

The shadow is even more convinced:

"It's yours, Chen An. ”
