The next day, the city lord sent someone over to get the drawings, and after that, Lu Chuan had nothing to do in the inn and had a good impression of Ning'er without a word, and the other drawings drawn by Lu Chuan before had already burned Lu Ning'er to ashes.

There was no movement in the barracks outside the city, it seemed that they were obviously preparing for a siege battle, and now the situation in the city was declining day by day, and there was obviously not much food in the city, but Lu Chuan didn't worry much about it, because his foresight had already hoarded some food, and the city lord's mansion would also send some people to send food from time to time, and now the only thing Lu Chuan had to do was to wait, wait for an opportunity to leave the city.

But soon the City Lord's Mansion sent someone to find Lu Chuan, originally Lu Chuan didn't want to go, but after thinking about it, he still went, after all, if he let those people from the empire come in, he obviously wouldn't let anything go, if they let them attack the city, it was obviously not what Lu Chuan wanted to see, all he had to do was to knock the enemy back for a while, and then take Ning Er to take the opportunity to go out of the city and travel the world from now on.

"Brother, will those people outside attack you?" Lu Chuan and Lu Ning'er sat in the carriage, Lu Ning'er held her brother's hand a little uneasily, at this moment half of her cheeks had been replaced with the half mask that she had customized in the mask shop before, and there was no decoration on the white mask all over the mask, although Lu Chuan felt that the money was spent a little, but Lu Ning'er didn't care about herself, so she naturally wouldn't go to talk to the store manager.

Lu Chuan touched the girl's head and said, "Don't worry, everything is with my brother." ”

Although Lu Chuan said so, in fact, he didn't have much bottom in his heart, after all, the enemy surrounded himself, but fortunately, the enemy was just surrounding, and there was no intention of trying to attack, but this can also make people restless, for fear that the enemy will start attacking the city if he neglects it.

After a while, Lu Chuan's carriage arrived at the castle of the city lord's mansion, although this castle is a little old, but this also shows that this castle has a long history, just stepped into the castle and saw Adele come out to greet her, at this moment her eyes were haggard, and the original flowing ponytail seemed to be withered at the moment.

"You're coming, and my father is waiting for you. After speaking, the girl began to lead the way, Lu Chuan didn't say anything and just followed her, but Lu Ning'er looked around with a curious face, looking at those antique vases from time to time, and looking at those famous paintings from time to time, looking curious about the baby's appearance.

The girl introduced Lu Chuan into the study, originally Lu Ninger also wanted to go in but was rejected by Adele, Adele said that only Lu Chuan was allowed to go in alone, but Lu Chuan was not happy to pull Lu Ninger and go back, and in the end Adele gritted her teeth and retreated.

As soon as Lu Chuan and Lu Ning'er entered the waiting room, Lu Chuan saw a middle-aged man rubbing his eyebrows there, the middle-aged man at the moment was obviously not very good, and when he saw Lu Chuan coming, he asked them to sit down, and after a while, a servant came over to serve tea and pour water, Lu Chuan sat on the sofa opposite the middle-aged man, Lu Ning'er also sat there obediently, as for Adele, she was standing next to her father.

The two sides were silent for a while before the middle-aged man spoke: "I have a reluctant invitation to invite you this time. ”

Lu Chuan waved his hand and said: "The city lord is laughing, it is only a generation of civilians in the next generation, and it is already a great honor to be honored by the city lord's high hopes." ”

The middle-aged man just barely pulled out a somewhat stiff smile and said, "You don't have to be polite, I invited you here this time because I have something important to ask for." ”

Lu Chuan said: "You're welcome, what does the city lord need, go all out." ”

The middle-aged man was not polite and directly cut to the topic and said: "I invited Your Excellency here this time to ask Your Excellency if you have any plans. ”

"Now that the enemy forces are surrounding us, and the enemy barracks are carefully positioned just outside the range of bows and arrows, and the barracks are so densely guarded that the scouts we send out cannot see the number of enemies at all, but the exact number of enemies is more than three times ours. ”

"They just surrounded it, neither attacking nor retreating, and we now have very little food left. ”

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Lu Chuan didn't show much surprise, he just took a sip of tea and asked, "How many enemy soldiers are there?"

The middle-aged man said, "Ten thousand." ”

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment and continued: "What about us?"

"One thousand"

"Poof!~" Lu Chuan suddenly spit out the coffee in his mouth, and he hurriedly picked up the rag and wanted to wipe it for the middle-aged man, "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." ”

Seeing this scene, Adele was also stunned for a while, and then hurriedly interrupted Lu Chuan's movements.

"Hey, that's a rag for wiping the table!"

Hearing Adele's words, Lu Chuan suddenly panicked, he quickly stopped wiping the middle-aged man's face, and awkwardly withdrew the rag and looked at the middle-aged man.

This Nima is called triple? Ten times, right? Your math and physical education teacher taught you?

The middle-aged man didn't have anger on his face, but laughed out loud, his smile made Lu Chuan feel that this city lord was not a head watt, after all, he was not angry like this, what else could it be?

The middle-aged man smiled enough before waving his hand to show that Adele did not need to panic, and the servant next to him took out a clean face towel to wipe the middle-aged man's cheeks, and only after wiping his face did the middle-aged man say: "After all, the enemy's strength is ten times that of us, and I still want to break through the encirclement, it's my fool's dream." ”

Lu Chuan didn't speak, he was thinking about something, seeing this scene, the middle-aged man didn't open his mouth to interrupt Lu Chuan's thinking, he just sat silently opposite Lu Chuan and waited for his reply.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Chuan stabilized his mind and said slowly: "If I say that I have a way to solve this problem for you, will you believe it? Or dare to believe it?"

Although Lu Chuan didn't want to have much to do with this city, the city lords had invited him to come here, and there was obviously no good way, otherwise he wouldn't have invited himself as a dead horse doctor.

Hearing Lu Chuan's words, the middle-aged man was obviously excited, but this excitement was fleeting, he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and coughed lightly twice and said, "Dare to ask Your Excellency what your plan is?"

Lu Chuan said politely: "Don't dare to be, I just have some bad ideas." ”

"If there is any good plan, the lord of this city will listen to it. Speaking of this, the middle-aged man paused again and continued: "Soldiers are in war, everything is known for strategy, what kind of bad idea can you talk about?"

"Then it will be ugly below, since they don't attack, then we will find a way to let them attack the city. Lu Chuan has become more and more fond of this city lord, this middle-aged man does not put on a show, and even regarded himself as an equal person with him for a while, and even asked himself to help him with ideas at this time, so Lu Chuan decided to help this person.

"Let them siege the city, what are you kidding?" At this moment, Adele really can't help it, what kind of bad idea is this, the enemy is already grateful to Dade for not attacking, and he is still going to provoke them? How long can they withstand the siege? three days? one day? half a day? Rather than provoking them to speed up their siege battle, we might as well wait for the arrival of imperial reinforcements.

The middle-aged man didn't show too much expression when he heard Lu Chuan's words, but said, "Dare to ask Your Excellency about your strategy?"

......

......

Lu Chuan said: "This plan is not successful...... Then you will be benevolent!"

After listening to Lu Chuan's idea, the middle-aged man hesitated, and he thought for a long time before asking, "How sure are you of this plan?"

Lu Chuan replied: "If you try, you will be sure, if you don't try, it is useless to be sure, I never believe in winning and grasping." ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "That's okay, then the city lord will listen to you give this plan a try, if you succeed, you will be indispensable." ”

At this time, Adele wanted to open her mouth and persuade: "Father......"

The middle-aged man interrupted Adele's words and said, "Needless to say, your father and I are self-aware. ”

"Would you like to stay for a meal and then leave?"

Lu Chuan said: "No, there are still some things that have not been dealt with today, so I will retire first." ”

Lu Chuan didn't want to eat at the City Lord's Mansion, of course he wanted to, but the other half of Lu Ning'er's face was not suitable for being exposed in this kind of scene, so he could only refuse.

The middle-aged man was not too surprised to see Lu Chuan refuse his request, but just nodded and said, "Okay, if you have the opportunity in time, you will be invited to come to this castle as a guest." ”

Seeing Lu Chuan leave, the middle-aged man said to Adele: "Daughter, what do you think of him now?"

Adele didn't answer the middle-aged man's words and asked, "Father, don't we have any other way?"

After hearing Adele's words, the middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "Do you have a better way than him now?"

"But...... We can wait for the Imperial reinforcements" Adele continued to persuade her father without giving up, in her impression, as long as she held on for a few more days and waited for the reinforcements to come over, there was no need to take this risk.

Finally, the middle-aged man rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Alas...... I have my own plans, so you don't have to persuade me. ”
