After discussing with Wei Junyao for a while, the two walked down the city wall and saw Bai Jin and the sixth aunt.

The two of them were sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army and were frowning, but when they heard the news that I and the fear medicine had brought to them, they immediately came to their senses.

"But the terrain where they are currently stationed is different from here, and it will be difficult to do the same as before." Bai Jin was a little embarrassed.

"No, you don't." Wei Junyao said lightly: "If tonight's operation is successful, no matter whether anyone can escape or not, the reinforcements of these three cities plus the six cities that were eliminated by us before, nine of the twelve city reinforcements have been completely destroyed, and the remaining three cities are not to be afraid even if they are besieged." ”

Bai Jin and the sixth aunt glanced at each other when they heard this, then knelt down on one knee and took the order to go out of the big tent.

It's another night of fighting, this time because the other party is fully guarded, so the progress is not so fast, and the movement is very large, and the battle is getting more and more stalemate.

Wei Junyao and I have been sitting on the wall on the city tower and watching the fire, and when the day is almost dawn, the war is gradually extinguished, and the reinforcements from the nine cities are completely turned into ashes.

Quickly cleaning up the battlefield, Wei Junyao and I came to the door of the City Lord's Mansion again.

This time the gate was not even closed, and the old man was still sleeping on the Taishi chair with his sword, as if the ancient road of war had nothing to do with him at this moment.

"Master Huang." I stood in front of him and said with a smile.

"It's useless to ask for my name." Huang Ci turned sideways slightly, changed to a more comfortable position, smashed his mouth and said, "Let me be a watchdog for you, go to Jiuquan Mansion, do this kind of life-killing thing, there is no door." ”

I nodded when I heard this, and then glanced at Wei Junyao.

"Master Huang Ci was once famous for loving the people like a son in the ancient Yellow River, and in troubled times, he chose to live in a corner, keep one side peaceful, and spend a later life, but the ancient road is about to be swallowed by outsiders from Nanming and Nine Prisons and Nine Springs, do you really think that what you are waiting for now is the prosperous world of the balance?" Wei Junyao said with a smile.

"It turned out to be Princess Wushan." Huang Ci didn't open his eyes, spoke like a dream, and said, "Disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

How can there be a little disrespect!

Wei Junyao was not angry, and said to him with a slight smile: "Huang Taishi used to be stationed in Hexu Pass, but he was driven out by the people of Jiuquan Mansion, and he has been staying in this small Longjin Town, facing Hexu Pass across the river, I'm afraid it's just as simple as supporting the elderly, right?" ”

Huang Ci opened his eyes and glanced at Wei Junyao, then closed them again, and said lightly: "What does it have to do with you?" ”

"Of course it does." Wei Junyao smiled: "Maybe Mr. Huang Ci forgot one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Oath." Wei Junyao looked at him and said lightly.

Huang Ci's drooping eyelids moved slightly, and he didn't speak.

"An official has come here several times, and he is worthy of the sky and the people......"

Wei Junyao said softly.

Huang Ci turned over on the Taishi's chair and buried his head in his arms.

"Shinto has a spirit who knows me, and when I go, I still seem to be poor when I come......"

Huang Ci covered his ears with his hands.

"Stop braiding and discuss it as an official day, and everything can be ...... the alliance of the day and the sun"

"Alright, alright!"

Huang Ci sat up from the chair, stared at Wei Junyao angrily and said, "What if I said it, can't I regret it now?" ”

Wei Junyao smiled and said: "Repentance can be repented, but if you repent, then you will be an evil lord who does things for Jiuquan Mansion, is afraid of being strong, and aids and abuses. ”

"You dare!"

Huang Ci directly collapsed from the chair, pointed at Wei Junyao with his hand, and said tremblingly: "You dare to wish for me!" ”

"The right to speak is always in the hands of the winner." Wei Junyao smiled: "I won, you lose, of course what I say is what it is." ”

"And what do you want me to do?" Huang Ci confessed.

"Hold the town of Longjin." Wei Junyao said.

"Impossible!" Huang Ci's head shook like a rattle, "Your movement this time is so big, the Yin army from Shuofang City must have eighty if not a hundred, I am such a big city, so high and strong, and so many people, what to guard?" I can't keep it. ”

"I believe that as long as Huang Taishi is willing to defend it, there will be no city in this world that he can't defend!"

"And when I retreat to the army of Jiuquan Mansion, I will definitely spend a lot of money and manpower to build a temple for Huang Taishi, shape the golden body, and let your reputation spread to every corner of the entire ancient road and spread forever!"

“……”

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, I asked Wei Junyao, why are you so sure that Huang Ci will help us?

"Because he's greedy enough." Wei Junyao's words were amazing.

"He's greedy?" I was puzzled and asked, "What is he greedy for, I don't think he has any other characteristics except for snooze." ”

"Then what do you think ordinary people would be greedy for?" Wei Junyao asked rhetorically.

"Greedy for money." I thought for a while and said, "Greedy for power, greedy for sex, greedy for life...... But Huang Ci doesn't seem to have any of these things. ”

Wei Junyao nodded, agreeing with my statement, but then said: "These five things are people must be greedy, but Huang Ci does not touch any of them, because he is greedy for honor." ”

"Honor?"

"Yes."

"Corrupt officials are greedy for money, and clean officials are greedy for fame, but sometimes, the clean officials who are greedy for fame are more hateful than corrupt officials." Wei Junyao said lightly.

"Why?"

Wei Junyao looked at me with a smile and said, "Deceive the world and steal your name!" ”

……

It was already the third day before the city changed hands, and it was also the deadline for the five southeastern cities to agree on the arrival of support.

Late at night.

The Great Hall of Military Aircraft.

Wei Junyao and I were discussing our plan to use troops against the surrounding towns from tomorrow when Bai Jin knocked on the door.

"Lord Bai, Princess Wushan, someone outside the city asks to see you." Bai Jin said as he entered the door.

"The people from the southeast are coming?" I asked, leaning my head.

"It's not."

"Who's that?"

Bai Jin's face was embarrassed, and he stopped talking.

Bai Jin is not a person who is sad whenever he encounters something, and he has no countermeasures, I feel a little bad about making him have such a look on his face.

"You'd better go to the castle tower yourself." Bai Jin sighed.

He Wei Junyao left the Confidential Hall in confusion and walked to the Beicheng City Tower.

It was already late at night, and when I was standing on the edge of the city gate, I saw a group of people standing on the moonlit and silver on the earth.

Every face was so familiar, and even one of them was someone I had dreamed of countless times.

Grandpa, Yao Banxian, the great ancestor of the Bai family, and Ruan Qing and other disciples of the Bai family.

Dozens of people stood at the bottom of the tower, tilting their heads up, looking at me as well.

I haven't seen each other again for almost half a year since I left the cliff.

Everyone looked embarrassed, ragged, and famine, as if they had been running around for a long time, and had not even had time to eat a bite.

Facing his grandfather's eyes, beside him stood the great ancestor who was supported by Yao Banxian and could barely keep from falling.

The people behind me looked at me with a deep pleading in their eyes, which made me feel compassion.

"Xiao B."

After a long time, Grandpa spoke.

Grandpa's voice was hoarse and full of wind and frost, and his cloudy eyes seemed to be shrouded in a fog at the moment, and he couldn't see more and more clearly.

"Grandpa."

I called softly, but the word "grandpa" made me unbearable, and tears fell down.

"Open the door." Grandpa said. "The Bai family, all of them have come to take refuge in you."

Wei Junyao said to Bai Jin behind him: "Open the door!" ”

Bai Jin glanced at me and shouted, "Open the city gate!" ”

The huge gates shook, dragging the ground in the silence of the night sky.

The city gate opened, and Grandpa slowly walked into the gate with a group of Bai family children.

"Let's go down." Wei Junyao looked at me softly and said, "Sooner or later, you have to face what you should face, maybe things are not as bad as you think?" ”

I sighed softly and looked at her and said, "I'm afraid that some things will happen again." ”

"Have you been planning so badly?" Wei Junyao sighed.

I nodded, looked up at the waning moon hanging in the night sky, and said, "If that's really the case, I don't know what to do yet." ”
