As soon as they walked on their front feet, the hall master on their back feet arrived with someone.

Leng Kill really thought well, and the hall master would definitely come here to find them after finding out that there were fewer people.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper said that he had a hidden courtyard in the slums of Nanyang, and as long as the hall master did not search the city, he would definitely not find it.

In fact, they all knew in their hearts that the hall master was now chasing them, so how could they not search the city. But they have nowhere else to go now, but to go to the small courtyard where the shopkeeper is.

When I arrived at the small courtyard, it was not like a place where the poor lived, although it was smaller, it was clean and tidy.

It stands to reason that the shopkeeper who can open such a big inn in Nanyang should not be bad for money, but I didn't expect that there would be such a small courtyard in such a place.

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "This is where I lived with my father and mother when I was a poor boy." Now that he has money, but this is also home, so he is naturally reluctant to throw him away. ”

No wonder it's so clean and tidy. For this shopkeeper, there is a trace of guilt in Leng Kill's heart.

After they were gone, the hall master would definitely leave the inn, where he had spent most of his life's work. Originally, they were just kind enough to take him and Fang Ping in, but they ruined half of his life's hard work.

He was very uneasy, he gave a large part of his entire wealth to the shopkeeper, and the rest to the doctor, "You are innocent, but you are implicated in the affairs of our brothers." This is a little heart, not a respect, and please accept it. ”

The shopkeeper shirked again and again, and in the end, he couldn't kill coldly, and finally accepted it. In fact, to be honest, the inn is gone, and he is also very distressed.

When the doctor saw the silver ticket, he didn't shirk it, and after putting it away, his face was not as ugly and depressed as before, and said: "Let's run away, the new Nanyang King will definitely block the entire Nanyang City, and it will be strictly investigated when you come out and go in, how can you get out?" ”

He was right, as soon as he found out that they had escaped, the hall master completely blocked the entire Nanyang City, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Fortunately, they didn't run out of the city before, and if they did, they would have been arrested by this time.

He and Fang Ping don't care, it's just that the shopkeeper and the doctor are really innocent.

The shopkeeper sighed, "Fortunately, this place is really remote, and no one knows, you can recuperate here first, and when the injury is healed, you will fight to the death with them." ”

He was already dissatisfied with this smoky Nanyang City. The crying of the children, the helplessness of the women, and the tragic situation of the men being taken away one by one to make Gu made him helpless and anxious in his eyes.

But he couldn't do anything, these two people seemed to be here to save them, so how could he not help?

Under the doctor's careful care and superb medical skills, Fang Ping's injuries recovered in the middle, and the cold killing was that he had been secretly collecting evidence of the hall master's various recruitment, day and night, and after coming back, he sent the news back to the capital one by one.

At that time, in the capital, in the Jinluan Palace, Xia Jingnian looked at the evidence passed back from the cold killing, and after sorting it out, he summoned the ministers to come to the Jinluan Palace to discuss matters.

"Your Majesty, since Nanyang City is now in dire straits, it is better to take advantage of the fact that their troops are still insufficient, and capture it in one fell swoop to save the people of Nanyang from fire and water." A courtier proposed.

As soon as his words fell, he was immediately retorted by the military department Shangshu: "You said this so lightly, how do you know that they are not strong enough?" Have you inquired in Nanyang City? What is their current situation? What's more, the cold guards had already said in their hearts that the men had been hit by the Gu, and their strength was infinite, as if they had no pain. Do you want to let the flesh and blood of our soldiers fight with them? The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and finally he turned around without looking at the man.

After being refuted by the secretary of the military department so well, the man sighed helplessly: "I understand that you feel sorry for the soldiers, but the people can't afford to wait!" Watching the changes like this, I am afraid that more people will be in dire straits! ”

The national teacher next to him put forward a different opinion, "At this time, we really don't know what their strength is, but Weichen knows that if this continues, their soldiers will only increase, and it will be even more difficult to fight when the time comes." ”

The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, the military department Shangshu refused to send troops, and those soldiers were also flesh and blood people, even older and younger, if it was an ordinary war, to ordinary enemy soldiers, maybe the military department Shangshu would not be so opposed.

It's just that the people who fought this time were too weird, so that the military department was reluctant to deal with that group of people with the flesh and blood of the soldiers.

Xia Jingnian was troubled by their quarrel, and when the national teacher saw this, he proposed: "Your Majesty, it is better for you to send troops to garrison near Nanyang, so that it is also convenient for the cold guards to pass on the news to you, and we can better grasp the situation in Nanyang." ”

"If the situation in Nanyang is better, we can directly send troops to attack, and it will also save the time of sending troops to attack now." The proposal of the national teacher is very good, and it can be regarded as a compromise solution.

Xia Jingnian walked to the map, looked up at Nanyang, pointed to the map and said: "Then let's send troops, from here, here ......" Xia Jingnian pointed out all the towns around Nanyang, "Send troops to surround Nanyang and make him impassable, so that he will temporarily become a lonely city, without reinforcements, he can't get out." ”

This arrangement can surround Nanyang like an iron bucket, surrounded by Xia Jingnian's soldiers, and this time they can't escape with their wings.

The national teacher thinks this method is very good, "It's best for us to arrange troops around Nanyang City first, greet other princes, and when necessary, send troops from other towns to support, which can be regarded as a two-handed preparation." ”

The proposal he added was very good, Xia Jingnian nodded and accepted, and this matter was handed over to the national teacher and the military department Shangshu to handle together.

Although Xia Jingnian's army rushed to Nanyang in a low-key manner, there were still so many people, and the hall master was very keen and sent spies out.

Their people were well disguised, and the spies only heard that there were troops stationed in Nanyang City, and they didn't know how many people there were.

"Is this a declaration of war on me?" The hall master snorted coldly, and waved his big hand: "Go, catch all the men in the city who can still move, and in addition, the children will practice Gu worms for me!" Be sure to step up your manpower! ”

Since then, the people under the hall master began to look for children and men from house to house, and the children and men who had been lucky enough to escape before were all arrested and taken to Nanyang Wangfu at this time, and the hall master arranged them together, the children gathered together to practice Gu, and the men gathered together to practice.

However, the children were too young, and the children who had practiced Gu with blood before had all increased the dose of Gu training, and the children who had been trained for the first time had never been exposed to these things before, and they couldn't bear it for a while with such a large dose when they first came.

At first, the children would die two or three a day, and then a dozen a day. The women held the child and cried bitterly, and were intensively trained, but the men who were in the Gu did not know that the child had left them.
