Chapter Forty-Four: The Quiet Solid Stone City

Standing on the roof, the view is much wider.

I saw that the streets and alleys were full of scattered torches.

With the faint light of the torches, Hou Jiuming saw clearly the two sides of the fight.

"It's incredible!" He never thought that it was not the Qianyu Country that broke into the city, but the group of refugees.

However, it is understandable when you think about it.

The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!

Instead of sitting back and waiting, it's better to just fight.

Anyway, it is death to sit still, and death is death if you fail, rather than this, it is better to die vigorously, which is better than starvation.

And, if you succeed by luck, you'll make a lot of money.

Now this situation is obviously that the City Lord's Mansion has completely fallen into disadvantage.

The city is broken, and there are no weapons, so what to fight.

Failure is only a matter of time.

After figuring out what was going on, Hou Jiuming didn't stay on the roof for long, and floated off the roof with a slight jump.

"What a light effort!" Looking at Hou Jiuming who floated down like a fallen leaf, Shi Zhongquan secretly praised in his heart.

Although he doesn't know how strong his life-saving benefactor is, he can see from this handsome light skill that he is definitely far superior to himself.

"Refugees from outside the city are in!" After landing, Hou Jiuming told Shi Zhongquan about the situation outside.

After all, this person from the imperial court must be more concerned about this matter.

"What, it's not Qianyu Country, it's those refugees?"

"Yes!"

"How is that possible?"

Like Hong Shutang, Shi Zhongquan couldn't believe that the heavily guarded Solid Stone City had been defeated by a group of unarmed refugees.

"It's the refugees!"

To be honest, he didn't believe it either, but the facts were right in front of him, and people had to believe it.

…………

The chaos lasted until noon, and by the time everything was over, the owner of Solid Rock had changed.

However, not long after the battle ended, gongs and drums and warnings sounded again and again in the city.

"Martial law is imposed in wartime, and all residents in the city are not allowed to go out, and if there is a violation of the discipline, it will not be ......"

"Martial law is imposed in wartime, and all residents in the city are not allowed to go out, and if there is a violation of the discipline, it will not be ......"

A warning rang out throughout Solid Rock City, causing those who were about to go out to check on the situation to immediately stop and return home.

He was not allowed to go out, and there were no merchants to trade.

The entire Solid Stone City, except for the occasional footsteps of patrolling soldiers, suddenly became quiet.

But in the middle of the night the next day, a noisy shout of killing suddenly sounded in the eastern part of the city.

The sound didn't last long, and it quickly fell silent again.

But on the night of the third day, shouts of killing sounded again in the north of the city.

It lasted the same amount of time as the next night.

On the fourth day, just when everyone was speculating whether it would be the same as the previous two days, Solid Stone City was eerily quiet.

At dawn, many people suddenly found that the footsteps of the soldiers who had been patrolling in the past had not come.

I thought something was delayed, but I waited until noon, and I didn't hear the footsteps of the patrol.

Some of the brave people immediately climbed onto the roof of the house to peek, and found that the entire city street was quiet, not to mention the patrol soldiers, and not even a single figure could be seen.

"What's the situation? Why is there no one, those refugees who are besieging the city? ”

"Are you gone?"

"Why is it so quiet?"

Time passed until the evening, as the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased.

It was discovered that the refugees had really disappeared.

"The refugee army is really gone......"

"It should be, otherwise, I wouldn't have turned around for so long and not a single one will be seen."

"The war is over......"

"Great......"

The inhabitants of the city unbridled their fears about the war in the past few days, which lasted until midnight.

For all this, Hou Jiuming shook his head, sighed and turned back to his residence.

These people are happy now, and they will definitely not be happy in a few days.

Because without the suppression of the imperial court and the deterrence of the law, the desires of the people's hearts will be infinitely magnified.

When the time comes, I'm afraid it will not be as good as the refugees breaking the city.

At least after those refugees came in, Qiu did not commit any crimes, and did not kill innocents indiscriminately.

And after Shi Zhongquan learned about this, even if he made a farewell, he also knew the consequences.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone in such a hurry, after all, the injury hasn't healed yet.

Not only Shi Zhongquan, but also some far-sighted people in the city escaped from Jianshi City overnight.

By the next morning, many people noticed that there were suddenly many fewer people in the city.

Some shops even put up signs for sale.

And the common stalls in the past did not have stalls.

Originally, this kind of thing was bound to attract attention.

But when this matter was discovered, no one cared about the situation of the City Lord's Mansion, the Xiao family, and the Li family.

At noon, the Sihai Teahouse was overcrowded, and I saw those guests gathered together, all of them discussing the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion and the other two families with great interest.

"This group of refugees is really wolf-hearted, the city lord is such a good person, they even went to the action, it is simply ungrateful."

"Who said no, in order to provide disaster relief, the city lord not only took out his own food, but also gathered major families and residents in the city to raise food.

But now, those refugees are not only ungrateful, but also broke through the city gate, and after coming in, they directly killed the city lord's family and hung their heads on the gate of the city lord's mansion, which is really hateful. ”

"The Li family and the Xiao family are not the same, except for a few people, all of them are hung at the door, the situation is not too miserable, it makes people angry when they think about it."

"I guess that the Xiao family and the Li family were killed on the second and third nights after the city was broken, and the shouts of killing just sounded on those two nights, and they were definitely attacking the Li family and the Xiao family."

"Quite possibly!"

"Strange, why didn't they attack on the day they entered the city, but on the second and third days?"

"It's not simple, if you don't attack that day, you are afraid of arousing everyone's hatred, and then attack, the whole city will be controlled, and it is impossible to resist, so naturally you don't need to worry."

"There is a master behind this refugee man!"

"Who said no, from besieging the city, to controlling the entire city, and then sacking the two major families, as well as the city lord's mansion, and then quietly abandoning the city and fleeing, it would be strange if there was no guidance from a master."

"Why do you say they gave up the city they got and occupied the city by themselves, and they can do whatever they want?"

"You know a!" As soon as these words came out, they were despised by others, "Do you think the city is so easy to occupy?" Such a big city,

It's still a border city, how can the imperial court give up easily, I'm afraid that after getting the news, it will immediately send troops to suppress it, with the strength of those refugees,

It's okay to fight a surprise battle, facing the king division head-on, it is definitely a fiasco, so they must have planned it from the beginning,

Storm the city, grab enough supplies and leave, maybe now it has been broken into pieces and fled to other places to live a chic life. ”
