The return is fast because the process of constantly searching and adjusting the course is skipped. Along the way, the city lord was in a good mood, and the goods were recovered, which proved that the business of one million taels of gold was going to be done again. Therefore, along the way, they all smiled at Ji Yunkong. But Ji Yunkong and Zhang Yi were laughing secretly, I don't know if the city lord can laugh after returning to Quanzhou.

Sure enough, when the coast of Quanzhou gradually appeared in front of everyone. The eyes of the Quanzhou City Lord widened and widened, and an incredible look gradually crawled all over his face. "This ...... What's going on? What about the people of Quanzhou Military Port? The city lord keenly smelled a hint of bad premonition. The military port, which was busy in the past, did not see a single figure this time.

"Quick! Speed up! The lord shouted in a panic.

When the ship docked, it was busy again, and the city lord of Quanzhou learned what happened the day before yesterday from the report of his subordinates. The moment he saw the collapsed city wall, the city lord of Quanzhou screamed and fainted directly.

Everyone sent the city lord back to the city lord's mansion in a panic, and his family members cried one after another. Although the Heian army did not disturb them, the wife and children of the city lord were also frightened for two days. Now I just saw the city lord come back, but he was a comatose person, and the grievances and horrors in his heart poured out together. Suddenly, the entire City Lord's Mansion turned into a crying and grabbing the ground.

However, the lord of the castle soon woke up. He didn't have time to comfort his family, so he hurriedly called his subordinates over and listened to their reports.

By the time his men had reported all the losses, one of the city lord's faces had been dyed inky black. All the money and food were emptied, bows and arrows, leather armor, and weapons were taken away by ox carts, and the rolling wood and stones, which were inconvenient to move, were burned. The current city lord, as a businessman, is still rich in the world, but from the perspective of a city lord, he is already a family with four walls.

Heian Army! The city lord of Quanzhou remembered this name thoroughly, a small force that was almost the weakest in the world, was actually hidden so deeply. Although he took away nearly eighty percent of the soldiers in Quanzhou, Quanzhou's own garrison was definitely not weak. Being able to break through the city in one night proves that the Heian Army is definitely not as weak as the outside world legends say. Or rather, they are strong!

Damn it! Why Quanzhou! The lord of the city was furious, but to no avail.

"Come, let the people build an earthen wall on the city wall that was originally missing. Then in the city to appease the people, by the way, send me a doctor, my wife and I need to rest. The city lord said with a tired face.

"Yes!" The soldiers heard the order and hurriedly ran out to carry it out.

The lord of the city did not go to rest as he had said, and immediately after giving these orders, the lord returned to his study. He was to immediately write a letter to the imperial court, asking for its support. It's such a big thing, and you can't hide it if you want to. It's better to try to make up for the loss, and if the court blames it, the crime will be lighter.

In order to minimize the damage, the castle lord barely slept all night, and when he woke up the next morning, his eyes were bloodshot.

"Oops! City Lord, something is wrong! The lord of the city had just leaned on the bed and rested for a moment when he was woken up by the shouts of soldiers outside.

"What's wrong?" The city lord was shocked, is there any news now that could make the situation worse?

"Back to the city lord, the army of Jiuyangzhai has surrounded Quanzhou, and it will attack the city soon." The soldiers soon brought nightmarish news to the city lord. seems to be telling the city lord a truth: in this world, there is no such thing as happiness, and there is no one-way disaster.

The city lord hurried to the city wall, and sure enough, there were many swords and soldiers below. Jiuyangzhai is much more powerful than the Ping'an Army, and it is one of the best rebel forces in the world. In order to capture a city like Quanzhou, the three village owners made full preparations. Soldiers and horses alone brought 20,000 men. There are countless siege equipment of all kinds, and there are even four or five city-breaking crossbows.

Such a formation, not to mention the now tattered Quanzhou, even Quanzhou at its peak will be beaten to the bone. Looking at the soldiers under the city who were building ladders and wells in a hurry, the city lord was in a cold sweat. He never believed that the two armies could come back and forth so coincidentally, it was definitely a long-planned conspiracy.

Now there is no grain or grass in the city, even if they don't do anything, just a simple siege, Quanzhou can't support it for even three months. What's even more thrilling is that the city lord doesn't think that the one-man high earthen wall and the remaining hundreds of arrows can hold the crumbling Quanzhou.

"What to do? What to do? "The city lord of Quanzhou was as anxious as ants.

After thinking for a long time, the city lord suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Go and invite Ji Gongzi to come." “

When Ji Yunkong came to the city lord's mansion and saw the city lord's haggard face, Ji Yunkong was also startled, in the past few days, the city lord has lost almost twenty pounds. If this continues, Quanzhou has not yet changed hands, and this city lord is about to lose weight. Ji Yunkong didn't feel a trace of guilt at all, but gloated so much that he couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I don't know what the city lord is looking for me today?" Ji Yunkong asked.

The city lord smiled bitterly: "Master Ji, I won't tell you, I came here this time to ask for your help." You can also see the current scene in Quanzhou, which is really bleak. ”

Ji Yunkong showed a look of "sudden realization" and said, "City Lord, do you want to?" ”

"Exactly," the city lord said with a look of death, "Ji Gongzi is really smart, you must have guessed a thing or two." I want to buy all your minerals and use them to forge ordnance. There is no shortage of blacksmiths in Quanzhou City, but it is really difficult to raise so many materials in a short period of time, so you can only rely on the iron ore you transport. I hope to be able to use this iron ore to forge some bows and arrows, so that some people can break out and ask for help from the surrounding cities. ”

"Lord City Lord," although he had already expected the city lord's decision, Ji Yunkong still pretended to be shocked, "You are really bold, do you know that in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, forging weapons without permission is to punish the Nine Clans!" ”

"Of course I do!" At this time, the city lord was like an angry leopard, "But what can I do?" Do you think the kind of light armor you wear at sea can go out and fight hard with the elite soldiers of Jiuyang Village? Or do you want to use the flesh and blood of Quanzhou soldiers to resist the enemy's sword? ”

The city lord vented a little, and suddenly sat down on the ground: "Master Ji, you should have also seen it, the armor used in water warfare is completely different from that used in land warfare. Although we still have some supplies on our ship, we are by no means the opponent of Jiuyang Village outside. So, the only way I can think of it now is to go. ”
