"Brother Li is right, but how easy is it to get out at this time, what is Brother Wang's opinion?" Marlowe asked.

"I think the most important thing at this time is to find out the situation first and understand the extent of the defeat of the official army." Wang Hao said after a little thought.

"It's simple, just ask the shopkeeper to ask." Guo Dadao.

A few people found the shopkeeper in the backyard who was helping the shopkeeper to do some luggage, for a few people's questions, the shopkeeper was too lazy to answer at first, there were too many people who asked him, and he was too annoying, under Wang Hao's silver coin offensive, he finally opened his mouth.

The situation was not good, and the official army camp outside the town was attacked by the rebels in the middle of the night, and after a fight, it was defeated. However, it is not bad to say that it is not bad, the defenders of the town attacked in time and decisively, received most of the official troops, and are currently holding on to the town of Merlin waiting for reinforcements.

That is, the town of Merlin is now surrounded.

Wang Hao's biggest worry at the moment is not himself, but Taoyuan Village, which is only a day's journey away from Meilin Town.

To a certain extent, the destructive power of the rebel army was much greater than that of the official army, and now besieging Meilin Town, it was necessary to scavenge some grain and grass from the surrounding villages and towns, and Pingwang Town bore the brunt.

"Looks like we can't get out." Marlowe looked frustrated.

Don't say it's him, everyone present is not in a very good mood.

"Hopefully reinforcements will arrive soon!" Li Qing is still optimistic.

But Guo Da is much more pessimistic than him, "I'm afraid that the officers and troops in other areas may not be able to protect themselves at the moment!" ”

Wang Hao knew that what Guo Da said was very likely to be true, once the rebel army chose to make a move, it meant that most of them had a comprehensive plan and full preparations, and if they didn't make a move, it would be enough, and once they made a move, it would not be easy for the officials and troops to control.

"If nothing else, the rebels will be attacking the city at dawn!" Marlow said, "How long do you think Merlin can hold on?" ”

Marlowe did not ask if Merlin could hold it, but directly asked how long it could be held, apparently he did not think that the official army could hold Merlin Town.

"Brother Li, what do you say? You've learned the best of war. Guo Da asked.

Li Qing smiled bitterly, shook his head, and didn't say anything.

In fact, he didn't say it, everyone also understood that Meilin Town was just a small town, not as big as Zhongwan City, not to mention that the official army had just suffered defeat, even in the best state, the walls of this kind of town could not withstand the toss of the army, and when the city was broken, the decision was in the hands of the rebels.

"Isn't there any other way out of the city? For example, authentics and the like. Wang Hao, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"With a few of us digging tunnels, we have to dig until the Year of the Monkey to dig out, if it doesn't work, unless there is a ready-made one, let's think of another way!" Guo Da directly vetoed Wang Hao's method.

"Wait!" Marlowe's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Maybe there really is a ready-made one!" ”

"Really?"

"Where?"

"When is it still selling, hurry up!"

"Actually, I'm not sure, but I've heard before that many big families will go to great lengths to dig tunnels to open up their homes and outside the city in case of emergency, because this is usually very secretive, so it's not really clear which one has an authentic outsider."

Hearing Marlowe's answer, Li Qing and Guo Da were a little discouraged. "I've heard of this before, but it's not like saying it is the same as not saying it! Not to mention that we don't know which one in the town has dug tunnels, and even if we do, they can still use it for us? ”

"Not necessarily!" Wang Hao is a person who does not believe in evil, since he has the opportunity, he should work hard to fight for it, "Go!" Let's go find the shopkeeper again! ”

With the silver coin to open the way, everything is straightforward and simple.

The shopkeeper took time out of his busy schedule to introduce a few people to several large families in Meilin Town.

"Just now the shopkeeper mentioned six households, which family do you think is most likely to have an authenticity?" Marlowe asked.

"I think the Li family is the most likely, after all, as I said just now, their family is the richest in Meilin Town!" Guo Da was the first to express his opinion.

"In this way, the possibility of the Chen family, which is ranked second, is not small!" Li Qing continued.

"Time is limited, we can't try it one by one, what do you think, Brother Wang?" Marlowe turned to Wang Hao and said, he felt that Wang Hao was not simple, although he was the youngest among the few, but he had a unique perspective on the problem, and he also had two saber subordinates, so his identity must not be ordinary. Therefore, Marlowe attaches great importance to Wang Hao's opinion.

"I think the Cai family should have the greatest possibility of authenticity!" Wang Hao actually had a judgment, he just wanted to see if anyone wanted to go with him, but he didn't.

"The Cai family is the worst of these families, and it won't be their turn if there is, right?" Li Qing denied.

"Brother Li, you forgot a little, the Cai family lives in the south of the city, and it is the most remote among these families, what does this mean, think about it!" Wang Hao followed the good path.

"You're saying that the Cai family is the closest to the outside of the city, so digging tunnels is easier than other homes?" Listening to Wang Hao's words, Ma Luo was the first to react.

"Exactly! But this is just my speculation, I just think that it is not easy to determine whether other families have authentic authenticities, if I am a member of the Cai family, I should not mind spending so much effort to leave a way back for my family! Wang Hao said that he was guessing, but his expression was full of confidence.

"However, the question comes back to us, even if they have an authentic house, why would they let us use it? Could it be that we still can't break through? Li Qing had to admit that what Wang Hao said was very reasonable, but he still felt that the method proposed by Wang Hao was not very reliable.

"Break! Why not! Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times! It's better than us sitting here and waiting! Wang Hao waved his fist and said loudly.

"I agree with Brother Wang's statement, and before there is no other better way, I can only try!" Marlowe agreed.

"It's just that at this time, martial law is under martial law outside, how can we rush to Cai's house? I'm afraid that before I arrived at Cai's house, I was arrested as a spy! Guo Da threw out a new question.

As soon as this question came up, everyone fell silent again.

Indeed, no matter how good you think, it's useless, you can't get out of being trapped here, it's useless to think about anything. At such a critical juncture, it is simply impossible for the officers and soldiers to allow the common people to wander around the streets, because it is easy to cause panic, and second, it is inevitable that some incidents will be caused by spies who have infiltrated the city.

Just when everyone was discouraged, Wang Hao spoke again.

"I might have a way to take everyone out, but our plans may have to change."
