Tao Xu slowly walked down the wall of the inner city, his face was cold and terrifying, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"You're tough!" E said casually.

As soon as he saw this burly mountain bandit leader Tao Xu, he became angry, this group of mountain bandits robbed his daughter's relatives, and he took it for granted. If they hadn't made trouble, maybe Yan Yunhai and Tao Siniang would have arrived in Wen County by this time!

"You mountain bandits, when you come here, you can still be arrogant?" Tao Xu pointed at E Dali's nose and scolded, "Someone! Take them down for me! ”

"I see who dares!" E Dali stiffened his neck and glared at several soldiers with his eyes, "Do you think we Montenegrin bandits are easy to mess with?" ”

The soldiers were taken away by E's strong momentum, and looked at Tao Xu hesitantly. Indeed, there are still hundreds of bandits under E Dali, if there is a real riot, although the army of Shiji City is sure of victory, but there are still troops from the south outside, they can't beat them in the first place, if they fight by themselves, won't Shiji City have no hope at all?

Seeing that no one dared to move, E Dali sneered, and then pointed at Tao Xu's nose and said, "You are the judge of Shiji City?" Why, now a petty official like you can show off his might? We're grasshoppers on a rope now, don't push me! ”

"You also think too highly of yourself," Tao Xu said angrily, "How can this official be all the way with a mountain bandit like you?" ”

"Haha! I forgot that you're a pretentious selfish ghost, and I don't want to be with you! E's lips sneered.

Tao Xu raised his eyebrows, "Pretending to be a selfish ghost? Where does this start? ”

Seeing that Tao Xu was angry, Tao Siniang hurriedly said, "Dad! Why bother to be like a mountain bandit, he is naturally talking nonsense. ”

"Humph! Siniang, how can you say I'm talking nonsense? E snorted, "What a majesty your father has!" What else is 'there is no Tao who surrendered, only Tao who died in battle'! How dare you say it! If you really want to fight, will you go to war? ”

Tao Xu blew his beard, "Why not?" When the official is needed, the official will fight to the death against the sad army when he leaves this body! ”

"Even if you go to the battlefield, don't you know the strength of you and the southern army? There is no chance of winning at all, and hard work can only kill yourself! ”

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, the enemy army is coming, the force is several times that of me, I will defend this city by the grace of heaven, not to open up the territory and expand the territory, but to do our best. Even if I die in the end, I will be left in the history books, in fact, you are comparable to a bandit? ”

E Dali shook his head disdainfully, "Leave a note in the history books?" What's going on? Can you eat it? In order for you to be able to leave your name in history, you will bring the soldiers of the city to accompany you to the funeral? ”

"This city of soldiers feels the grace of heaven, and it is our duty to defend one side and do our best for the country, so how can we accompany the funeral?" Tao Xu did not show weakness, "We and the rest of us are here with one heart, so what are we afraid of the southern army?" ”

He glanced at E Dali with disdain and said, "How can you understand a selfish mountain bandit." The southern army adopts a surprise attack, of course, it is the speed that grabs, every time we hold on to a point, we will give our reinforcements a chance, even if we fight until there is no one left, as long as the southern army is dragged down, it will be eternal and beautiful! ”

E Dali sneered, "Speaking of which, it's just for your name." The soldiers of the city may be responsible, and they should have resisted the enemy, but what about the people of the city? Have you ever thought about what they think? Are they willing to die for your life? ”

Tao Xu was stunned, he had never thought about this, if he was fighting, he would inevitably die. And in the war, no one will notice these ordinary people, and the casualties are the heaviest. Concerned about their feelings? Is it possible?

He subconsciously looked around, and first saw General He Bi beside him.

General He Bi saw Tao Xu's gaze, smiled, and said, "Judge Tao, don't look at me, although I am a bastard in the barracks, I am still a soldier no matter how I say it, right?" I'm responsible for defending the city! ”

Tao Xu's eyes flashed with surprise, he really didn't expect that the nesting general He Bi was still a man who understood righteousness.

He waved his hand, calmed down and said to E: "You are a mountain bandit, you have never been subject to the norms of etiquette and loyalty, so naturally you will not understand. I believe that the people of Shiji City will also understand my hard work, and they will know that I resisted, not only for myself, but for the sake of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty! ”

E Dali was just about to open his mouth to continue to fight back, Tao Xu suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped his words, "I won't talk nonsense with you anymore, if you want to surrender with your bandits, I won't stop you, but if I find any behavior that will harm the people of my Ming Kingdom, then even if I fight for my life, I will eliminate harm for the people!" Hum! ”

After that, Tao Xu no longer glanced at E Dali, waved his sleeves, and continued to prepare for the city defense.

As he left, he left Eda standing there with a stinky face, and he could even feel the "disdainful" gazes of the people around him looking at him - there were even his mountain bandit subordinates, and at any time, those who could say surrender would definitely be considered soft-boned.

And Tao Xu's chic departure didn't even have room to explain to E. He hated the southern army to the bone, how could he want to surrender, he just said that he couldn't get used to Tao Xu's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, after all, this old man married his beloved Tao Siniang to a lame Xiucai, can he not hold a grudge in his heart.

Old Jing approached E Dali and said in a low voice: "King, do we really want to surrender?" If it's true, then I'll have to plan for the king, and maybe I'll be able to get a good position if I surrender early. ”

Hearing this, E Dali angrily wanted to slash the idiot Jing Laozhi with a knife, he was about to scold, but saw that although Jing Laozhi looked obscene, he looked very pitiful when he broke an arm. And Jing Laozhi just figured out what he meant and wanted to "help himself", and he suddenly couldn't scold anymore.

"What about Diao Laoqi? Let him come to me! E said in a muffled voice.

Jing Lao Idiot didn't know why E Dali was looking for Diao Laoqi, but he didn't dare to hide it, so he said: "Just now at the head of the city, I saw Diao Laoqi being stoned to death by a flying stone, and he died in front of the mortal leader, he should have seen it too." ”

"What? Diao Laoqi is dead? E's voice was lost.

Jing Lao Idiot nodded, E Dali took a deep breath, gritted his teeth fiercely, shook his head again, sighed and slowly walked towards the mountain bandits.

Old Jing scratched his head with his only remaining hand, and hurriedly followed, he was confused by E Dali's series of expressions, "What does this mean, king?" Alas, if Diao Laoqi is still here, maybe he can understand, but it's a pity......"

Yuan Fan looked at the two people who were far away, and shook his head helplessly, this E, if you want Tao Siniang, you dare to anger Tao Xu at this time, you really don't have any brains. However, his goal is to make E Dali die, so naturally he will not help him with advice in this regard.

Thinking of the hardships in the "Soul Returning Realm", he also sighed.

The sun is slowly setting, and the time is soon approaching dusk.
