Unlike the strategy of the grassland army, the entire Sizhou county is in a panic.

Since the four gates of the city were not closed, the panicked people continued to pour out of the city.

The guards who had been waiting for no news for a long time also received news from the fleeing people that smallpox had broken out in the city.

And the soldiers who defended the city were in panic like these people.

They are not worried about whether they too will be infected with smallpox.

They are more worried about their families, because most of them are from Sizhou County.

And in the Qi Mansion in Sizhou County, Li Yi has already explained all the things and the plate.

Although Qi Lao and Zhang Weiyan still had doubts about the imminent attack of the grassland army on Sizhou County, they still chose to believe Li Yi.

"But even if we withdraw all the people in the city from the city, those northern barbarians can still search for supplies in the city."

Zhang Weiyan said worriedly.

In fact, he said this, but he didn't want to risk the lives of the people of the whole city to resist the attack of the steppe army.

But in this way, he was a little unwilling to give up the county seat of Sizhou to these grassland barbarians.

"Lord Zhang, although letting the people of the whole city escape from Sizhou County can't stop the grassland army, at least it can save the lives of the people in the city."

Li Yi really didn't have a good impression of the Sizhou County in front of him.

"I also know that saving the lives of the people in the city is the most important thing, but if we give up the city to the grassland army like this, the imperial court will definitely punish us for our crimes!"

Zhang Weiyan stared at Li Yi and said.

"Wei Yan, are you still worried about being punished by the imperial court?"

Qi Lao asked with a wrinkled face at this time, and asked angrily.

"Master ......"

was questioned by Qi Lao, Zhang Weiyan realized that he did seem to care too much about his fame and fortune.

"But boy, if the grassland army really gets enough grain and grass in Sizhou County, Xinzhou is afraid that it will really be difficult to escape this catastrophe!"

Compared with Zhang Weiyan, who was worried about his fame and fortune, Qi Lao was more worried about Xinzhou and Zongzheng Temple in Xinzhou.

Although he also knew that Zongzheng Temple was not as fair and just as it seemed on the surface, he also knew that Zongzheng Temple was indeed the culprit responsible for the current Dayu Dynasty's feudal towns.

But he still didn't want Zongzheng Temple to be completely annihilated by the grassland army.

On the one hand, Zongzheng Temple is another symbol in addition to the Dayu royal family.

Once Zongzheng Temple was destroyed, it would be a fatal blow to the Dayu Dynasty.

Because the destruction of Zongzheng Temple will have a huge impact on the faith of the people of the world.

On the other hand, Zongshoji Temple is also the only link between the imperial court and the feudal towns.

Once Soshoji Temple is destroyed, the feudal states that were already ready to move will be completely unrestrained.

When the time comes, the world will inevitably be full of wolves, and the war will be endless.

And this can only make the people of the world more miserable.

"Old Qi is not obedient, boy, my ability is limited, and I have done my best to save the people of the next city, and the overall situation of the world is a matter that the princes of the court should consider."

Li Yi said coldly.

If this had happened to him when he had just descended the mountain, he might have done everything in his power to stop the steppe army.

But since he experienced the annihilation of the Pengzhou Army in Yuyang County, he has lost hope in the court.

And this time, after he thought that this time the grassland army went south may be secretly instructed by the emperor, he had already concluded that the Dayu Dynasty was already exhausted.

Originally, when he went down the mountain, his master Tai Jizi said that the Qi of the Dayu Dynasty was about to run out, and he also felt that his master was really pretending to be a god and fooling himself as before.

But now the facts have perfectly confirmed the prediction of his master, Taijizi.

"The rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, even if the court has no way, you shouldn't sit back and watch the grassland army ravage Xinzhou, although the goal of the grassland army this time is Zongzheng Temple, but the people will inevitably be implicated in the war!"

Qi Lao has always had a heart of worrying about the country and the people, and he really doesn't want to see the world full of wolves and the people are struggling to make a living.

And the kid in front of him was able to save the lives of the people of the next city with just a simple lie, so he believed that as long as this kid was willing, he should be able to save Xinzhou.

Although there was no basis for his thoughts, he firmly believed in such speculations in his heart.

"What Elder Qi said is right, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the horsemen, but I wait for these horsemen to be powerless, how can it be so simple to stop the grassland army of 20,000 people!"

Li Yi also heard that Qi Lao wanted to let him find a way to stop the grassland army, but he didn't answer the question.

Qi Lao didn't want to speak so clearly, because this would shift the initiative of the conversation to Li Yi's hands.

But he saw that Li Yi was an ordinary slippery loach and didn't answer his words at all, so he could only speak helplessly.

"I see that you can save the people of the entire Sizhou county with a simple lie, and you must have a way to save Xinzhou in your heart!"

"Qi Lao is really too uplifting, the misfortune of Xinzhou is carefully planned by people with intentions, and the grassland army is pouring tens of thousands of troops in the imperial capital this time to contain reinforcements from all over the country in order to attack Xinzhou, how do you think such a big situation is so easy to crack?"

Li Yi smiled bitterly.

In fact, he hadn't thought about how to stop the steppe army's actions this time.

But after thinking about it, he couldn't find any way to save the new state, unless he could now command the entire southern army, and maybe he could still fight.

However, not to mention the intrigues between various local forces in the entire southern region, even if he can really command the entire southern army, I am afraid that the imperial court will immediately kill him for the crime of treason.

After all, the chess player behind this big game of chess is Emperor Shengheng.

It is impossible for him to let his plans be ruined by others.

"So, this time the fall of NSW is a foregone conclusion?"

Qi Lao asked dejectedly after hearing Li Yi's analysis.

"It's already a certainty, even if we have the heart, we are powerless, otherwise why do you think I want to use the pretext of smallpox to make the people in the city flee, I dare say that if I said from the beginning that the steppe army was about to attack the city, none of the people in the city would be able to escape from the city."

Li Yi said as he stared at Zhang Weiyan.

"What do you mean, kid? Are you saying that I will prevent the people from fleeing the city? ”

Zhang Weiyan was furious by Li Yi's gaze, so he immediately questioned angrily.

It's just that his question is somewhat lacking.

"I'm not just talking about you, but in addition to you, the county guards and county lieutenants will definitely not let the people flee like you, because it is about your black yarn hat."

Li Yi snorted coldly and said.

His words made Zhang Weiyanqi's seven orifices smoke.

However, although Zhang Weiyan was very angry, he could not refute what Li Yi said.

This is because he himself knows very well that he and the county guard, the county lieutenant and others are indeed as Li Yi said.

And just when Zhang Weiyan was speechless but angry by Li Yi, the county guard Yan Wuping's mood at this time was not much better.

At this time, there was also a person standing in front of him, who was holding a long sword and looking at Yan Wuping indifferently.

Just now, when Yan Wuping and his grandson Yan Junheng were discussing the escape of the people in the city, who was the main messenger, the porter of the family hurriedly ran in again.

The porter told him that the man who had carved on the wall had come again to ask for an order.

At this time, Yan Wuping immediately ordered the porter to bring people in.

Yan Wuping knew that the fact that the person was able to write those four lines of poetry on the wall meant that he must know the ins and outs of the whole thing.

Maybe this person is even behind the whole thing.

Therefore, when Mu Junyi entered the county guard's mansion, the guards in the mansion immediately surrounded the room.

And Yan Wuping's room also had four or five more masters in the army.

However, Mu Junhe directly chose to ignore this, in his opinion, Yan Wuping's position in such a battle was not enough at all.

If he really wanted to kill Yan Wuping, these guards wouldn't be able to stop him at all.

He could even leave unscathed after killing Yan Wuping.

So when Mu Junhe walked into the room with an indifferent face, Yan Wuping felt angry because of his contempt.

"Who are you, and why did you ask to see my grandfather?"

Yan Junheng also saw that his grandfather didn't like the person in front of him too much, so he asked on behalf of his grandfather.

"You drove me away because of arrogance when I came here before, and now that I am here for the second time, do you still have to face me with such an arrogant attitude?"

Mu Junhe treats outsiders with a cold personality, and under normal circumstances, he throws his face at others, how can he ever meet someone like Yan Wuping who is arrogant to himself twice.

I think that Emperor Shengheng also invited him to return to the royal family with such an arrogant attitude, but the result was that he chose to refuse Emperor Shengheng.

For this reason, Emperor Shengheng was furious and directly sent Nansi to hunt him down for several months.

Even so, he did not choose to give in.

But now a small county guard dares to treat him like this, if it weren't for his junior brother who had explained the current Mu Junhe, he would definitely choose to turn around and leave directly.

"Junheng must not be unreasonable!"

Yan Wuping saw that his grandson was so ridiculed by the other party, so he immediately spoke.

This is not to say that Yan Wuping really feels that there is anything wrong with his grandson's attitude, it's just that he doesn't want to leave the other party with a handle that he doesn't know how to be polite.

But how could he not see this little bit of caution Mu Junhe.

So he snorted coldly and spoke.

"My name is Mu Junhe, and I am here to tell you the truth about the so-called smallpox plague in the city."

"Mu Junhe!"

Yan Junheng had an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he heard this name, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had heard this name.

"Your surname is Mu? Are you a member of the royal family? ”

Yan Junheng thought for a moment and asked, but he didn't see that the grandfather beside him had completely changed his face at this time.

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I have come this time to tell you the truth about the smallpox plague, and if you are not interested, I will leave immediately."

Mu Junhe saw that the other party was only entangled in his own surname, and he couldn't help but secretly despise the two county guards and grandsons in front of him.

"Your Excellency is the number one swordsman in the world?"

Although Yan Wuping was the county warden of Sizhou County and was theoretically a literati, he had heard of the name Mu Junhe because Mu Junhe's reputation was too great.

What's more critical is that Mu Junhe was hunted down and killed by Nansi all over the country because he did not serve the Holy Emperor before, and the impact of this matter was too great, so he became even more famous.

"Since the two of you don't want to know the truth, I'll leave now."

Mu Junhe saw that Yan Wuping was also asking about his identity, and he became even more impatient in his heart.

"Your Excellency, please stay!"

Yan Wuping saw that Mu Junhe turned around and was about to leave, and he immediately realized that the focus of himself and Yan Junheng just now seemed to be wrong.

Mu Junhe saw Yan Wuping open his mouth to let him stay, so he turned his head to look at Yan Wuping and Yan Junheng's grandson.

At this time, he had already decided that if the grandfather and grandson asked about anything unrelated to the smallpox plague, he would leave immediately.

He didn't believe that except for Yan Wuping, there was no one else in Sizhou County who could make the rest of the people who didn't want to leave leave the city immediately.

"Just now, our grandfather and grandson were abrupt, and we asked Mu Daxia to tell the truth about the smallpox plague."

Yan Wuping had already stood up at this time, and then saluted towards Mu Junhe.

In this regard, although Mu Junhe did not change on the surface, his disdain for Yan Wuping in his heart increased a little.

Because he knew that if he hadn't said his name, this Yan Wuping would never have groveled so much.

So the attitude he showed now was not at all to thank himself for unraveling the inside story of the smallpox plague for him, he only did it because of his status as a royal family surnamed Mu.

And Yan Junheng on the side finally reacted at this time, where he had heard of the name Mu Junhe.

At the beginning, Mu Junhe was chased and killed by Nansi for several months, and finally Zongzheng Temple came out to mediate in person, and then Emperor Shengheng revoked the hunt and kill order for Mu Junhe.

At that time, although this matter had been kept secret by the imperial court, Zongzheng Temple did not let go of this opportunity to weaken the prestige of Emperor Shengheng.

So they spread the word about it afterwards, and it was very widely spread in the south of the Dayu Dynasty at that time.

Even the students in their academy have discussed this matter.

At that time, many students regarded Mu Junhe as a deviant and unfilial son, and Yan Junheng also had the same opinion.

However, under the mediation of Zongzheng Temple, Mu Junhe not only did not suffer from the royal family, but even Zongzheng Temple recognized his identity as a royal family surnamed Mu.

From this, Yan Junheng realized the strength behind this Mu Junhe.

Then Mu Junhe told the truth about the so-called smallpox plague.

And Yan Wuping and Yan Junheng, the grandson, were dumbfounded when they heard it.

They had always speculated that the smallpox outbreak was manipulated by someone behind it, but they never expected that it was only Mu Junhe and his junior brother behind it.

It's a shame that they are still speculating whether the people behind this are the county lieutenants and county captains who covet their county guard positions or the grass army who are eyeing the county seat of Sizhou.

And when Mu Junhe said the reason why they did this, the two were even more frightened.

They did not expect that behind this so-called smallpox plague was an even more feared steppe army.
