Chapter 15: Make up your mind and slip away
The midday sun was hot and vicious, and the bound people were half-lying on the walls, suffering from the scorching sun and bayonets, body and mind.
They had long lost the strength to struggle and cry, and looked like rows of dead bodies from afar, and they seemed to be unable to breathe.
After the meal, the sound of drums, the neighing of horses, and the shouting of generals could be heard faintly in the distance, and then countless black images poured farther away.
Half an hour later, there was no longer half a figure as far as the eye could see.
The middle-aged man finally put his mind at ease completely.
In the short time he had been waiting just now, he was actually suffering in his heart, and the cold sweat almost soaked his clothes.
If people are not cornered, they will never take risks.
In the same way, once someone gives hope, a fool will give up.
Besides, now that the army of the imperial court has retreated, there are only a few people left downstairs in the city, as long as they enter the city, it is not difficult to stay with the strength of their families. At that time, even if the court changes the hexagram, there will be more nobles in their hands as hostages, which will have much more weight than the cheap lives of those people...
Having made up his mind, the middle-aged man hurriedly put on a smiling face and bowed his hand downstairs to the city, "I was offended just now, and I hope that there will be a large number of nobles, and the villains will open the city to greet them." ”
The young man in purple didn't say anything, and he didn't even raise his head.
The black-clothed knight beside him said, "It's hard work." But before that, please let those people go. If they are hurt, we have waited. ”
The middle-aged man then ordered the release.
The tense confrontation just now has finally completely dissipated.
Half an hour later, the middle-aged man really opened the city and knelt down to greet him, "The villain should be in the sky and welcome the nobles." ”
The purple-clothed young man raised his head slightly, glanced at him lightly, and then fell into deep thought again, and said after a while: "Well, count you as acquaintances." But..."
He deliberately paused for a moment, and when he saw that the man's face turned white with nervousness, he said unhurriedly: "Your name, 'Tian' means 'Son of Heaven, you are a flat-headed common man to call this, it's too arrogant, right?" Well? ”
Ying Tianlu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the villain should die, the villain will change it immediately, it must be changed, and the whole family will change it." ”
The purple-clothed young man smiled, nodded with satisfaction, and swept his horse into the city among the kneeling Ying family dogs.
Originally, Ying Tianlu was still a little jealous of him in his heart, but when he saw this style, he couldn't help but despise him a little.
He had asked the identity of the young nobleman on the castle tower before, but the other party did not answer.
The news that the Ying family got before said that it was a prince.
Now, even if this is really a prince, he is not a smart master.
Otherwise, why did you casually tell him such an important military secret before, and now follow him into the city without warning?
Ying Tianlu, no, has now changed his name to Ying Fulu.
While quickly relaying the situation here to the palace, he respectfully welcomed the nobles into the city, and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be closed quickly, just in case.
Ying Tiangui, who got the news over there, no, Ying Fugui was also busy leading the crowd to greet him at the gate.
Since he is a prince and a not very smart master, of course, he must be entertained with good wine and meat. As long as you wait for this master and make him happy, are you afraid that the Ying family will not be able to go further?
As for the nonsense county magistrate, of course, he was the culprit who provoked this civil unrest......
……
The good news of Beicheng spread quickly, and the grocery store also heard about it at noon.
Luo Fengyu was still sullen.
Because, I still can't get out.
The reason given by the family is really sufficient: there are nobles in the city, and in order to ensure the safety of the nobles, the four cities are temporarily closed.
"Those two will stay here for one night." Fu Ye kindly persuaded.
That's all there is to it for now.
Luo Fengyu nodded helplessly, and thanked Fu Ye again.
After Fu Ye left, Luo Linyue asked her, "Do you want to go out of the city tonight?" ”
Luo Fengyu gave him a blank look.
Nonsense? I want to go in my dreams, okay?
As the saying goes, the night is long, and there are many dreams.
Such a big thing happened during the day today, and I'm afraid there will be even bigger things at night, so of course you have to go, do you want to stay as cannon fodder?
"Do you have a way?" Luo Fengyu asked him angrily.
Luo Linyue nodded, "um".
"Tell me, what's the way?" Luo Fengyu suddenly came to his senses, tilted his head to look at him, and looked like he was listening.
She didn't believe it, this kid has been growing up in Peach Blossom Valley, and the number of times he has been out of the valley is not as many as her, so there is a way to go out of the city?
Impossible, okay.
Hearing this, Luo Linyue's face looked a little strange, and then he made a straight face, "Don't ask, anyway, I have a way, why do you do so much?" ”
The more he was like this, the more doubts in Luo Fengyu's heart became, "If you don't make it clear, how can I know if it's feasible?" Hmph, liar. ”
Luo Lin blushed more and more, was silent for a moment, and finally told the truth.
It turned out that once she was sick, Daddy took the boy into the city, and then he was separated, and then he was tricked into a carriage by human traffickers, and when he found out, he was taken by two wild dogs to their old nest - a small hole under the base of the southern city wall, and accidentally found that the small hole could lead directly to the outside of the city.
After listening to it, even though she was in a bad mood now, she still laughed out loud.
I didn't expect this kid to have such a mess, no wonder he refused to say it just now.
Until there's no better way, that's a good idea.
However, this matter naturally has to be hidden from Fu Ye.
It seems that Fu Ye has no ill will towards them, and even faintly protective.
Luo Fengyu has not been a person who likes to owe favors since he was a child.
It doesn't matter what kind of relationship the cheap dad has with Fu Ye, and what kind of purpose Fu Ye has. In short, she didn't want to trouble this kind old man anymore.
The next morning, the two still went out.
The streets have returned to their former bustle.
At this moment, the teahouses, restaurants, and roadside vendors talk about the most are naturally the major events that are happening in the city today.
Originally, the people didn't know much about the things on the upper floor of Beicheng, but those who were arrested by Ying's family and released back also had a few sober witnesses to the whole process at that time, so they told the truth.
Later, the young man in purple hit a horse and entered the city. At that time, everyone's crisis had been solved, and when they heard the third master shouting "Welcome the nobles into the city", they all became bold again, and they came out of various houses one after another, seizing the most favorable terrain, so as to see the demeanor of the young man in purple.
"That young man, how handsome he looks..."
"It's not, it's not an ordinary child..."
"Alas... It seems that the Ying family has succeeded again this time..."
"That noble person is good-looking, but it's a pity, he's too young to do anything..."
"I don't know what the above thinks... Don't let the kids get caught..."
Eh, don't just lick that young man's face.
Instead, is it safe in the city now?
Although the imperial court has temporarily withdrawn its troops, there is no guarantee that they will not make a comeback.
Such a small county town has no strong armament. Once the army attacked the city, it was taken in minutes.
If the leader is a murderous demon general, will the people of the city still be alive...
