On August 10th, the sky was clear, the wind was beautiful, the sky was cloudless, and the blue sky was like a lake, and the light waves flowed, giving people a sense of tranquility.

In the beautiful city of Kochi, it has long been a purgatory on earth, when an oppressed person who is not powerful suddenly becomes an oppressor, they will be even more bottomless madness, human nature is evil, especially it has been suppressed for a long time but suddenly exploded.

The rebels roamed every corner of Kochi like a storm, shouting and roaring, but not venting their usual grievances, but expressing all kinds of madness and greedy satisfaction.

Everywhere the rebels went, families were ruined, rivers of blood flowed, corpses were everywhere, houses were toppled, furniture was smashed, men were used as tools to carry money, whipped at will like livestock, some handsome men were captured by the good people of Longyang, women were humiliated, down to three or four years old, up to two hundred years old, compared with the city of Kochi at this time, those who were killed by the siege of the city defenders were regarded as the supreme mercy.

The cries and screams of Kochi City were intertwined, and even more piercing was the satisfied laughter of the rebels, who experienced an unprecedented sense of power, killing contests, humiliation contests, etc., one after another, and the people outside the city were reduced by as much as 30% in just one day, and the economic losses were incalculable.

Jiu Rin Nanxi dressed up as a rebel army, shuttling through the streets and alleys to carry out his own plans, in this human purgatory, his mood did not fluctuate in the slightest.

As he expected, things were going according to his plan. During the robbery, he fished in troubled waters and found a large number of precious medicinal materials and thousands of taels of gold.

Although he did not deliberately persecute the inhabitants of the city, he also had no intention of helping them, and he walked indifferently through the alleys and corners, and the scene in the city was much better than the battlefield.

There were corpses everywhere, children kneeling beside their mother's corpse and kept pushing and shrugging, their cries were heartbreaking, the crowd of people running around, the rebels were like devils, enjoying this feast of hunting, human blood washed the entire street, the buildings were red under the sunlight reflected by blood, the blue of the sky and the scarlet world formed a huge contrast, and it may be too light to describe hell on earth.

The city has been completely paralyzed, the inhabitants have been slaughtered, the market has been destroyed, and the goods have been looted, and for Jiulin Nanxi, this chaotic city is more conducive to his actions.

The protective array of the official city is not at the same level as the outer city, and it is impossible for the rebel army to break it in a short period of time, and if the time drags on for too long, it may wait for the imperial city to come to support and cause his plan to fail, so he is now using the cover of the rebel army to lay a formation in the city to break the protective array.

These formations need spirit stones for energy, of course, he doesn't have spirit stones, so he has already arranged the Blood Sacrifice Spirit Gathering Great Array to provide formation energy, and all preparations are ready, in other words, everything is ready at present, only the east wind is owed.

The Outer City Lord's Mansion

At this time, Wang Xu was sitting in the study, there were documents such as the number of markets in Kochi City, tax arrangements, etc., he read these documents, and also had a real understanding of Kochi City, and at the same time made a general plan for future governance.

However, at this time, it was wartime, his thoughts returned to this moment, and he also figured out Liu Longyang's plan, but his brows were furrowed, at first he didn't know the strength of the city defense, so he used the strategy of transferring the tiger away from the mountain to transfer the troops of the east, west, and north gates, and then quickly attack the city.

Later, the troops on the castle tower kept coming and going, and he thought that the lord of the castle had seen through his plan and moved his troops around to confuse him.

What he never expected was that after the city was broken, he found that the garrison of the city was scarce, and the garrison of the outer city could not withstand his own strong attack at all, obviously Liu Longyang took the outer city as an abandoned city, and he also knew that the support of the imperial city would inevitably arrive within half a month, and now the garrison of the outer city must have been transferred back to the official city in large quantities, which also made him unclear about the strength of the official city, and there was a strong protective array, and there would be heavy casualties if the rash attack was not good, and if it was contained, it would inevitably fall into a desperate situation.

Now the initiative is in the hands of Liu Longyang, his hypocrisy makes Wang Xu extremely headache, thinking of this, Wang Xu holds his forehead with both hands, his eyes are slightly closed, he pats his head hard, slowly opens his eyes, staring at the documents on the table, he can only solve it quickly, this is the only solution.

If you can break the city, and then take the initiative to submit to the court on behalf of the rebel army, and openly show loyalty to the emperor and the crown prince, maybe it is a way, for the emperor, minimizing the loss is the best choice, and it is likely to acquiesce to his existence, of course, this is just Wang Xu's idea, the situation is still undecided, and the front is full of chaos.

The next day, Jiurin Nanxi walked out of the underground secret room, just as he planned, Nanxi House was not affected by the looting of the rebels because he had been disguised in advance by the ruins, and those rebels kicked open the door and saw this dilapidated compound like ruins and left in disappointment.

A large number of refugees scattered their belongings, and refugees who had nowhere to go poured into the outskirts of the official city, hoping to pray to the officials to let them enter the official city for refuge, and a small number of wise people saw the situation clearly, understood that the official city was the next battlefield, and there was no hope of entering the city, so they took their family property to escape from the rebel army and escaped from this hell on earth by all means.

As for the big families and the people of high power, of course, they enjoy protection in the official city, and as long as their foundation is not moved, no matter what becomes of the outer city, there is no big loss, because soon after the rebellion is put down, the general framework order can be restored, and as for the small merchants and hawkers, it is only a matter of time.

The rebel army began the second round of looting, but this time it was different, the loot looted this time was to be handed over as army resources, so even a grain of rice could not be spared in the homes of citizens, under the extreme robbery and massacre, the periphery of the outer city became a vacuum area for residents, and the periphery of the official city became more and more dense, and the surging crowd was constantly beating the city protection array, and under the extremely strong defense of the city protection array, no one could enter.

Some of the people in the official city gloated, some looked disgusted, but they did not see the slightest mercy, perhaps the human heart is like this, they looked at these residents with a condescending attitude, like looking at dogs.

"Please, my lord, let's go in, we can pay the rent!" A group of people cried outside the city, dressed in rags, apparently residents who had survived the massacre, hoping to seek refuge from the government.

"! Didn't you see the lockdown order, is the official city accessible to citizens? The guards upstairs sneered, they had no worries about food and clothing in the official city, and their defenses were strong, so they naturally wouldn't risk letting these people in, not to mention that they were profit-seeking, and there were not enough interests to drive them to act like this.

"But I saw the big ones go in!" Some innocent people roared unwillingly, and they were furious when they saw that people of wealth and status had gone in to seek refuge, and they had to block themselves outside the city.

"Blind your dog's eye! When did you see them coming in? I've been guarding the city for so long, I know even a fly flying by! The guard still mocked, but he was a little more angry at the naïve people who didn't understand the world, who didn't even know the most basic of official protection, and wanted to come in.

……

"Run! The rebels are coming! ”

I don't know who shouted, and the crowd shouted like frightened birds, and the crowd boiled in an instant.

Survival is human instinct, they fell into madness, in order to survive desperately squeezed forward, and the crowd in the official city fell into chaos, the tide is generally the crowd continues to rush forward, under the huge thrust, many people fell in the crowd, trampled into flesh by everyone, the blood gradually stained the ground, and the blood disappeared strangely on the ground, only emitting a faint red light, connecting the red light together, it seems that a huge formation can be vaguely seen.

The corners of Jiu Rin Nanxi's mouth rose slightly, pressed the straw hat down, and left the crowd.

That's right, he actually shouted the one just now. Of course, the rebels did not come at this time, and they were busy on the way to the raid.

And the purpose of his doing this, firstly, is that he needs some human blood to activate the Blood Sacrifice Spirit Gathering Array, so as to ensure the normal operation of the Great Array at present, and also to facilitate his own inspection, in case the Great Array cannot be activated at a critical time, and a stampede will inevitably occur in the huge chaos, so that human blood will not be collected.

The second is that for the next plan, he needs to arrange the weak array in advance (selected from the wordless heavenly book - the formation is fully solved, the effect is to cause the physical strength and energy loss of the designated people in the formation, thus producing weakness), the chaotic crowd is the best cover, so this also covers up his actions in arranging the formation, and in the eyes of others, he is just running around.

In the evening, Jiu Rin Nanxi returned to the underground secret room, and a lot of preliminary preparations in the plan had been completed, and then he started the research on the Seven Colored Glass Poison, and Su Han'er was an assistant next to him.

Under the massive medicinal materials looted this time, he failed more than forty times before he succeeded in configuring, if it was placed before, he really didn't have the funds to experiment with this poison, this colorful glass poison was as colorless and tasteless as clear water, he shook the poison in the bottle, and a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

A conspiracy is brewing in the dark, and the whole city of Kochi is unaware of the existence of a pair of masterminds behind this war, and the whole war is like a marionette in the direction of the script.

"The rebel army is nearing the end of the raid, under the deterrence of the imperial city, a quick battle is the only choice for the rebel army, if I guess correctly, a general attack on the official city will be launched tomorrow, I will break the city in three days, and then the rebel army will inevitably be in chaos." Jiurin Nanxi faintly arrived.

"I understand your plan." Su Han'er also nodded.
