Someone on the side tentatively said, "Why don't you open the city gate and let them leave?" ”

When Wen Ye heard this, he immediately said in a deep voice: "No! ”

The man next to him frowned.

In fact, when they say these words, they seem to be talking for the common people, but they are actually asking for themselves, after all, this time the situation is special, the rebels are besieging the city, the emperor is actually stubborn, and he insists on not transferring reinforcements to Beiping, a crane city without foreign aid, and it is almost only a matter of time before the city is broken.

The rebels also warned that the city would be slaughtered on the day it was broken.

They are also afraid of death.

If Wen Ye is willing to open the city gate, can they also take the opportunity to escape, so that they can still save a life?

Who knows, Wen Ye refused without hesitation.

Everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while.

And Wen Ye's face was gloomy, he only glanced at them, didn't say anything, and looked at the outside of the city tower, and under the faint morning light exposed by the ceiling, he could only barely shine an outline in front of him.

But, having fought for so many years, he can judge even a faint outline.

In the dark night ahead, there were many soldiers lurking.

As soon as they open the city gates, these rebels will swarm in, and when the time comes, will these people still be alive?

And those ordinary people, needless to say, will only become a stepping stone for them to step into Crane City, who cares about their life and death?

Thinking of this, Wen Ye's face sank a little more.

He turned his head and said to the people around him: "Don't think that you can have a chance of life by abandoning the city and surrendering, King Ning is rebelling against the court now, and it is his own brother who is rebelling." A person who doesn't even care about his own siblings can still keep you? Stop dreaming! ”

“……”

The crowd was speechless for a while.

After saying this with a blushing face, Wen Ye glanced down again.

The mood of the common people has become more and more anxious, the sound of arguing with the soldiers defending the city is getting louder and louder, and even some people in the back are desperately crowding forward.

I watched the crowd of people rushing forward in waves, like waves crashing against boulders.

At the moment, it can still be prevented.

But, how long can it be prevented?

Wen Ye's face sank, called the deputy general beside him, whispered a few words to him, the deputy general nodded after listening, immediately got down from the city tower, rode on horseback, and quickly headed towards the Jinlou Villa.

Seeing his figure disappear in front of him, Wen Ye couldn't help but clench his fists, and turned his head to look outside the city tower.

The sky is gradually getting brighter.

At this time, under the city tower, there was a commotion on this side of the city gate.

Wen Ye walked over quickly, leaning against the wall battlement and looking down, it was a young man in the crowd, because he had been guarding all night, and at this time he was a little angry, and said to the soldiers guarding the city: "You still haven't opened the city gate, do you want us to die here?" ”

The soldiers defending the city didn't close their eyes all night, and they didn't get angry: "Don't talk nonsense, step aside!" ”

After saying that, he reached out and pushed him.

The young man staggered, immediately stood up, and said angrily: "You people, you can't win the battle, you can only bully us people." We're not your captive mules, so why don't you let us out of town? ”

The soldier drew his knife with a swipe: "Looking for death?" ”

As soon as everyone saw him draw his sword, the originally cowardly mood all turned into anger at this time.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "If you use a knife on us, then we will do it too!" ”

The lieutenant rode quickly to the Golden Mansion Villa.

Liuhe Hall.

On the table where antiques were originally placed, a huge map was spread, and Zhu Feng looked at Beiping, Hecheng, and Changqing City above, his eyes were solemn.

And the lieutenant sent by Wen Ye was kneeling in front of the table and reported the situation on the other side of the city tower.

"Your Majesty,"

He lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wen asked the last general to come back to report to the emperor, and the current enthusiasm of the people is really difficult to control. Next, even if the rebels do not attack the city, they will riot in the city. ”

“……”

"The number of people we defend the city is really small, but we are afraid that there will be a big mess."

Zhu Feng withdrew his gaze from the map and slowly raised his head.

He said: "What does it mean to smell the night, he can't keep it for too long?" ”

"He-"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.

When I looked up, I saw that an attendant hurriedly ran over, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there is a commotion at the city gate." ”

"What?"

"The people shouted to get out of the city, but the soldiers defending the city refused to open the gates, so they started fighting."

“……”

"Now, a lot of people have been hurt."

When the deputy general heard this, his face turned pale, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked on the front foot, such a thing would happen on the back foot.

Zhu Feng said: "Then, is it under control?" ”

The attendant said: "Lord Wen sent someone back to report it, and it has been controlled, but the soldiers and people guarding the city have injured many people, and everyone's mood is even worse." I'm afraid that if the stalemate continues, there will be a big mess. ”

Hearing this, the lieutenant's mood became even heavier.

"Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible!"

“……”

Zhu Feng was silent for a moment and said, "You go down first." ”

The deputy general looked at him, his eyes were almost a little helpless and desperate, but Zhu Feng remained silent: "Go down." ”

“…… Be. ”

He could only get up and retreat dejectedly.

However, as soon as he went out, he saw a slender figure standing at the door, holding a cup of tea in his hand. ”

Nanyan had just stood at the door and had already heard their words.

At this time, he only nodded to him, and then turned and walked in.

Zhu Feng was still standing in front of the table, staring at the map on the table with burning eyes, as if a hole had burned out of the map, and the anger was faintly rising in his heart.

At this time, a very soft voice came from my ear-

"Your Majesty."

As soon as she looked up, she saw Nanyan standing in front of her with a cup of tea.

Zhu Feng's eyes flickered.

When she left her side before, she was still saying that she was there, but that charming atmosphere could not continue after all in the current situation.

Zhu Feng coughed lightly before speaking, his voice was a little strangely hoarse.

"Why are you here?"

For some reason, hearing his hoarse voice, Nan Yan's mind also remembered some pictures from last night.

She couldn't help blushing a little, but she still lowered her head and stepped forward: "The concubine came to bring tea to the emperor." Xiaoshunzi said that the emperor didn't sleep last night, didn't drink water, and didn't eat. ”

"I'm too late."

"No matter how urgent you are, you have to eat and drink enough to come up with a solution."

Her soft voice is irresistible.

Zhu Feng sighed, took a sip of the teacup she took from her hand.

A smile immediately appeared on Nanyan's face.

She walked up to him, looked at the map on the table, moved slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, how do you plan to solve this matter?" ”
