Chapter 444: People's hearts are distracted
Regarding the sudden departure of the grass army's high-level leaders from the grass army's base camp, Li Yi felt very unusual.
Judging from the actions of Jun Keyi and the four of them in Shouzhou City, they seem to be planning something.
And it must be an extraordinary plan.
However, this is also his speculation, and the main thing for them now is not to pay attention to the movements of the grass army, their most critical thing now is to lead more than a thousand people from Sizhou County out of the current predicament.
However, until now, the people in Sizhou County, led by Yan Wuping, have not made up their minds.
A huge disagreement arose between them.
First of all, the people supported by the commander of the city guard battalion led by Yan Wuping and Cha Xilin believed that they should actively fight against the Jin king's personal guards.
After all, these Jin king's personal guards are all traitors who have brought disaster to the country and the people in the final analysis.
Even if they are willing to be cannon fodder for Zongzheng Temple, they should not let the old Jin King use these Jin king's personal guards to contain Zongzheng Temple.
However, in this regard, Tan Kexun believes that the first thing they should do now is to settle the thousand people in Sizhou County first, and then consider the next action.
In the eyes of Qi Lao and Zhang Weiyan, what they have to do now is to find a way to prepare for the grassland army to attack Jinling City.
After all, they are still the people of the Dayu Dynasty in the final analysis, and they can ignore the struggle between the royal family and the Zongzheng Temple, but they still have to avenge the blood feud between the grassland army and the Dayu Dynasty.
Just when the three parties were arguing, Li Yi said slowly at this time.
"Everyone be quiet and stop arguing, now we are running out of time, we must make decisions as quickly as possible."
"Hmph, this is an internal matter of our Sizhou County, what qualifications do you have as an outsider to participate in it."
Tan Kexun looked at Li Yi with a dissatisfied expression and said.
In fact, he has always been very unkind to Li Yi.
"Tan Keqing, you'd better pay attention to me, if you dare to be careful of the Glaive Knife in my hand in front of Li Yi again."
Qi Chao saw that no one at the scene spoke, and he immediately became angry.
As a companion and friend along the way with Li Yi, he may even become Li Yi's brother-in-law in the future, Qi Chao regards Li Yi as his own relative from the bottom of his heart.
So when Li Yi was so humiliated by Tan Keqing, how could he bear it.
"Qi family boy, what kind of green onion are you to dare to talk to me like this!"
Tan Kexun was very disdainful of Qi Chao's threat.
Although their Qi family is also a wealthy family in Sizhou County, the Qi Dynasty has always been a knowledgeable image in the Qi family.
Therefore, most people don't know the true strength of the Qi Dynasty.
"Humph! Or people often say that the most daring people in the world are the most ignorant people! ”
Qi Chao stuck the Glaive Knife on the ground at this time, then rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Tan Kexun.
"What do you want to do, boy? Do you want to do it to me? ”
Tan Kexun couldn't help but feel a little flustered when he saw Qi Chao walking towards him step by step.
But in order to save his face, he had to pretend to be dismissive.
"Qi family boy, don't overdo it!"
At this time, Tan Keyu, who was standing on the side, was holding his arms and looking at Qi Chao coldly.
Although Tan Keyu has always had no good impression of his younger brother Tan Kexun, and even he wished that this Tan Kexun could cause more trouble, so that he would become more and more important in his father's heart.
But that doesn't mean he wants others to bully his brother.
After all, Tan Kexun can represent the Tan family.
Therefore, if Tan Kexun is beaten by outsiders, it means that their Tan family's face has been beaten.
"What? Are you Tan Keyu not convinced? ”
Qi Chao turned his head to look at Tan Keyu with a grin on his face at this time.
"Qi Laozi is a respected old man, and I respect him very much, so we don't want to embarrass you, and I hope you don't know what to do."
Although Tan Keyu seemed to be very polite when he said this, in fact, he was simply satirizing the Qi family's lax discipline.
So when he heard this, the corners of Qi Lao's eyes couldn't help but jump slightly.
Just now, when Tan Ke was embarrassed about Li Yi, he didn't say anything, not because he had any opinions about Li Yi.
On the contrary, he actually has a good impression of Li Yi, and even he thinks that his granddaughter has a good eye.
The reason why he didn't say a word was actually to observe everyone's attitude towards Li Yi.
After all, although Li Yi used a fake smallpox plague to save them from the county town of Sizhou.
But in private, some people still think that if they stay in Sizhou County to resist the grass army, they may not be breached by the grass army.
And now that they came to Jinling City, they were placed under house arrest by the old Jin King and then calculated by him, and Zongzheng Temple also wanted to use them as cannon fodder.
This couldn't help but make these people resentful, and they also regarded Li Yi as the culprit.
And the Eight Ox Crossbow and the Houma Iron Horse just now scared the souls of these people away.
Therefore, in their opinion, they should not have come to Jinling City in the first place.
As for the other people, they think that Li Yi is just an outsider, although he saved everyone, but what happens to everyone next should be decided by them, the people of Sizhou County.
An outsider like Li Yi should not be involved in their decision-making.
"Huh! You guy don't have to squeeze me with a gun and a stick when you speak, Lao Tzu tells you that my grandfather is my grandfather, I am me, you don't have to use this name of my grandfather to press me. ”
Qi Chao looked at Tan Keyu with a sneer, and then slowly approached him.
At this time, Tan Keyu immediately felt a momentum around him.
"Alright, you two shut up!"
Just when the two sides were tense, Tan Lixing's voice suddenly sounded.
"Father, this kid is so arrogant, if you don't give him some color, wouldn't it make people underestimate our Tan family!"
Tan Kexun also rolled up his sleeves like Qi Chao at this time.
But as soon as he was about to step forward to have a good fight with Qi Chao, he was stopped by his father, so he was inevitably a little unwilling in his heart.
"Presumptuous! When is it now, are you still thinking about others and underestimating our Tan family! ”
Tan Lixing immediately stepped forward and slapped Tan Kexun on the cheek.
Suddenly, five clear palm prints appeared on Tan Kexun's fairly fair face.
"Father, why did you beat me?"
Tan Kexun was a little dazed by his father's sudden slap.
"If you talk nonsense, I won't be as simple as beating you!"
Tan Lixing couldn't help but be even more annoyed when he saw that his son was beaten and was very aggrieved.
Tan Kexun didn't know that the reason why his father wanted to beat him was actually to protect Tan Kexun.
Although the people around him didn't have the slightest reaction to Tan Kexun's humiliation of Li Yi just now.
Tan Lixing, who is an old fritter in officialdom, has long discovered the abnormality of things.
Next, he didn't even want to talk about it, so he directly judged the attitude of Yan Wuping and Qi Lao.
Tan Kexun could only slowly lower his head under his father's vicious gaze.
"Actually, Li Gongzi is right, now it's time for us to hurry up and make a decision."
Immediately, Tan Lixing continued to speak and said to the people around him.
"Lieutenant Tan, I still say that, we should take advantage of the defenselessness of those Jin King guards, we should directly launch a sneak attack on them, so that we can not only eliminate the number of Jin King guards, but also take the opportunity to grab some armor weapons, so that even if the grassland army really kills in, we also have some self-protection power."
Yan Wuping still kept his thoughts.
"That's right, most of us here are soldiers of the city guard camp now, and their weapons and armor were all detained by the Yaowu Army when they entered Jinling City, if we don't take advantage of the current time to get some weapons, and when the grassland army comes in, we can only be slaughtered."
Chacillin also followed.
"That's right, even if we escape now, once we meet the Jin King's personal guards or the people of Zongzheng Temple, we still have no power to protect ourselves."
Yu Chao also stood up and said at this time.
"That's right! We must be self-preservation. ”
The other generals of the city guard battalion also chimed in.
"But although there are not many of the Jin King's guards, they are covered in armor and wrapped in iron buckets, how can we people deal with it?"
Tan Lixing directly asked the most important question.
"That's right! Think about it, once we can't quickly solve these Jin king's guards, then we will have to meet the crazy slaughter of the Jin king's guards. ”
Tan Keyu helped his father.
"This ······"
As soon as Tan Lixing and Tan Keyu's words fell, the people in the city guard camp who were clamoring to kill just now immediately became dumbfounded.
"So what shall we do now?"
At this time, someone in the crowd asked with a little despair.
However, the scene fell silent, and no one could give an accurate answer.
Seeing this, Li Yi could only smile bitterly and shake his head, then turned around and left.
From the attitude of the people in Sizhou County just now, he already knew that he was not welcomed.
"Where are you going?"
Just when Xu Yan and the others also left with him, Yan Wuping began to speak.
When Li Yi faced Yan Wuping's questioning, he didn't look back, but just left a sentence coldly.
"We are not from Sizhou County, so we are not obligated to tell you where we are going."
After Li Yi finished speaking, he quickened the pace of leaving.
"Lord County Guard, I really don't want to waste any more time here, so I'll leave my family to fend for myself!"
The head of the Jing family immediately took the Jing family and arched his hand towards Yan Wuping, Tan Lixing and the others, and then followed Li Yi and them away.
"Who of you guys allowed you to go?"
When Chasilin saw that the people of the family were leaving, he immediately took the lead and stopped in front of everyone.
"What? Could it be that Commander Cha is preparing to imprison me and wait? ”
Seeing this, Keiko immediately stood up and looked at Cha Xilin with a dissatisfied expression.
And Li Yi and the others also stopped, and then quietly looked at Cha Xilin and the soldiers of the city guard battalion.
However, the soldiers of the city guard camp felt as if they were being targeted by a group of wild beasts, and their hairs stood on end.
"We don't mean to restrict your freedom, but what is the difference between you walking away in this time of danger and the sergeant's escape?"
Yan Junheng, who had not spoken much, also stood up at this time, and he said righteously.
"What a escape!"
When Jingzi heard this, he immediately laughed angrily.
"I didn't expect the grandson of our county keeper to be so eloquent, it's really impressive!"
Keiko sneered and sneered.
"What's wrong with me, how is your act of honoring your family different from running away?"
Yan Junheng said without the slightest hesitation at this time.
"I don't know where your face is, pretending to be a grandson here and pretending to be a superiority to you!"
Just then, a voice came in from outside.
Everyone turned their heads to take a look, but found that the person who came turned out to be Ansu.
Before, when Li Yi and the others were fighting with the people of the Tiger Ben Battalion, An Su suddenly disappeared.
Although Qi Chao and Xu Yan were very strange about this, they didn't ask much.
At this time, when everyone saw him come back, they couldn't help but wonder where he had just gone.
"Presumptuous, what kind of person are you talking to our Yan Gongzi like this."
Yan Junheng, a person dressed as a servant, immediately stood up and said angrily when he heard that someone dared to mock his son-in-law like this.
"It's your grandfather and me!"
An Su lined up everyone and walked in proudly.
"You kid keeps saying that Jing Jia's behavior is like escaping from battle, just like those vassal kings of Zongzheng Temple, who want to use the people of Jing Jia as cannon fodder, so that they can exchange their lives for you to get back some weapons and armor."
Ansu stood in the middle of the crowd and did not shy away from the knife-like gazes of those in the city guard camp and the county guard.
"You fart!"
Yan Junheng was immediately angry and scolded when he heard An Su's words.
You must know that he, Yan Junheng, has always regarded himself as a scholarly child, and he never says these dirty words on weekdays.
But now he himself was scolded by An Suan.
"Really? In that case, we are going to go and arrest some of the Jin King's guards and come back to interrogate the news, so how about you go with us? ”
An Su immediately looked at Yan Junheng with a playful expression and said.
"Nonsense, my son-in-law is a scholar, how can he arrest people with you reckless men!"
Before Yan Junheng could speak, his servant rushed to speak before him.
"Really? Since you say that he is a scholar and cannot go to fight with those Jin kings' personal guards, can I understand that anyone who is powerless does not need to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy? ”
As soon as Ansu's words came out, the servant immediately didn't know how to answer.
And the faces of Yan Wuping, Tan Lixing and others also showed a hint of discoloration.
"What's wrong? Am I not right? ”
An Su saw that his words made the other party speechless, and he immediately looked at everyone with a wicked smile.
"So the son of your family who reads doesn't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, and the powerless people who respect the family have to stay and shed blood for you?"
"That's right! You are clearly only allowing the state officials to set fires and not allowing the people to light lamps! ”
As soon as Ansu's words fell, Qi Chao immediately jumped out and said in a weird manner.
"You ······"
Yan Junheng didn't expect Qi Chao to jump out when he was here.
And Yan Wuping, Tan Lixing and the others immediately moved their eyes to Qi Lao.
They knew that without Qi Lao's permission, Qi Chao would not dare to say such a thing no matter what.
"Since he, Yan Junheng, is a scholar, he can not work hard, then our Qi family is also a scholarly family, so our Qi family doesn't have to work hard!"
Qi Chao shouted.
"Presumptuous, now that everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, how can you allow you to decide your duties here at will!"
Seeing that the people around him were all looking at Yan Junheng, Cha Xilin immediately shouted.
"Yo Yo Yo! It seems that it is soft, and someone wants to come hard! ”
An Su continued to watch the excitement on the side, and said in a weird manner.
