When they broke into the courtyard, the guards inside were scattered. In order to be sure, they had made a very detailed plan beforehand, and according to their plan, it was best to burn down the house without alarming a few of them. When these people came, they all carried firewood on their backs, and after entering the courtyard, they directly piled firewood all over the yard, and with Metro's order, countless torches were thrown into the woodpile, and the raging fire quickly burned.

METRO watched as the small courtyard was melted to ashes and watched as the ashes gradually turned cold. Eventually, there was no spark left.

"I want to see the bones." METRO's extremely simple sentence immediately understood what it meant. So, all the people started to do it, they picked up the dust, went to find a piece of evidence, and eventually, they found a skeleton in every room, but the body was no longer there, and all that was left was bones. Based on these skeletons, they couldn't be sure of anything, but they still trusted their own judgment. They believed that the skeleton in the middle room was Li Jiuyuan, and the two rooms next to it were Liu Xilie and Ma Xudong.

And so they were victorious, they got what they thought they were victorious. And began to celebrate. This cheerful voice soon spread throughout the entire Erlongshi Castle, and the news of Li Jiuyuan's unfortunate death was instantly known to everyone.

Completely different from the lively scene here is Lu Xinghe's mansion. Ever since METRO made this plan, there hasn't been a day that he hasn't been worried about. Especially when they attacked Ba Niu's residence, he was even more worried. In fact, since Ba Niu came here, he has always felt that something is wrong, not that something is wrong, but that Ba Niu is the person who makes him feel that something is wrong. The reason why he didn't stop METRO was entirely because he was only suspicious and had no clear evidence. He has always felt that this Li Jiuyuan is not the real Li Jiuyuan.

It's a strange feeling, but it's often a strange feeling. Just when the good news came, he also figured out his doubts.

"It's not Li Jiuyuan that you killed at all, Li Jiuyuan didn't come at all!" He looked at Metro, who was full of excitement, and said very sadly: "Our plan has long been expected by him, and now, I am afraid that he is going to annihilate us in one fell swoop."

Metro didn't understand what he meant at all, and still insisted that it was Li Jiuyuan who they burned to death.

"We saw him enter the city, we saw him enter the courtyard, and after that he was under our watch. Moreover, many people who have seen him have confirmed that this person is Li Jiuyuan, whether it is in terms of body shape, appearance, and speech and demeanor, he is exactly the same as Li Jiuyuan, how can he be a fake?"

"And hair"! Lu Xinghe's excitement was not because of their impulsiveness, but because of his own mistakes in judgment, he actually ignored such obvious characteristics.

"Li Jiuyuan's hair is blue, and this person's hair is black"!

No one notices this, most people look at people, they only look at the shape and physiognomy of the body, as for the color of the hair, no one pays attention at all, especially at night. But Lu Xinghe still thought of this, so he knew the ending earlier.

"The only reason why he didn't dye his hair blue was that he was going to give me a chance." He looked at Metro coldly, and this coldness made him feel death.

"Of course he won't take care of your Mai family, in his eyes, you are not a threat." He said this sentence to his face in order to remind Metro that they are no longer a royal family, and their actions should be restrained. However, a young man is a young man, he didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and still said very arrogantly: "Even if he is not Li Jiuyuan, what can he do?" Even if we don't burn them to death, what can we do? We still have Dragonstone Fort, as long as we land in the city and refuse to defend it, with the danger of Dragonstone Fort, they will not be able to break through it at all"!

Lu Xinghe had nothing to say about his innocence, he could only express his helplessness with laughter.

"They are 200,000 people, we only have 20,000 people, the area of Dragonstone Fort, they don't need to attack the city at all, as long as they surround us, after three months, we will have civil strife." Although Lu Xinghe's tone of voice was gentle, what he said made people shudder: "He is Li Jiuyuan, a military genius. As long as he wants, with our strength, we can't hold Dragonstone Fort at all. You may believe in my ability, I also believe in my ability, if we have 50,000 now, no need more, as long as 50,000, I will be more confident, but we only have 20,000 now, they have 200,000, 20,000 against 200,000, although we are the side defending the city, this difference in strength can never be ignored. Especially in front of a military genius".

"I'm going to fight him to the death"! METRO gritted his teeth and said, "I won't leave this mess to you to clean up"! As he spoke, he turned to leave.

"Take all the Mai family and leave Dragonstone". In Lu Xinghe's eyes, he is just a child, and all his nonsense is a child's prank. And he sees himself as a parent, and the parent has to bear all the consequences.

"Li Jiuyuan's ability is definitely not something you and I can compete with, I hope you can live, and your Mai family is alive. In this way, my sacrifice is not worthless." He said it so emotionally that METRO also felt tears in his eyes.

"I can't go, the disaster is mine, and I will bear the consequences." Although he is an impulsive person, he is not a cowardly person. However, he is still too young to understand the value of life.

"You have to live, and only by living can there be hope. What's the point of us all dying in this siege? You have to flee here with the Mai family, and then gather strength for the future." Like a father, he patiently taught him, hoping that he would listen to his own advice and get out of danger. But he shook his head resolutely: "I naturally know the kindness of the chief of the guard, but is it too late for me to leave now?"

Of course it's too late, they all understand it. Since Li Jiuyuan had seen through their ruse, he naturally took all possible measures, he would never let the Mai family leave Dragonstone Castle, and it was even possible that as soon as they left Dragonstone Castle, they would fall into his trap.

Lu Xinghe pondered for a long time, and finally nodded helplessly: "Then, let's merge with Dragonstone Castle and live and die together." For the first time, the hands of the two people shook together, and the two hearts collided together for the first time. And Ba Niu, who is outside the city, has already set up a net at this time, waiting for the Mai family to come to the net. What he didn't expect was that the Mai family did not go out of the city.

"It seems that I underestimated Metro". Ba Niu said to Sheng Shiyuan: "It is impossible for them not to know my plan, and it is indeed commendable that they can be in danger. However, they still have to die here, this is war, and no one can escape their fate"!

As Lu Xinghe expected, Ba Niu did not attack the city. After he subdued all the surrounding four towns, he carried out a protracted siege of Dragonstone Fort.

Dragonstone Fort was close to the Sanggan River, and Ba Niu channeled the river water into the trench, forming a wall of water on the perimeter of Dragonstone Fort, making it impossible for Lu Xinghe's army to cross the chasm, and at the same time cutting off all their supplies.

Dragonstone Fort is not a small castle, and the savings in it are enough to use it for half a year. But their law and order is not stable. Lu Xinghe and his army are Dondoriters, while the people of Dragonstone Fort are Kangle people. In the eyes of the people of Dragonstone, they are undoubtedly the invaders, and the hatred for the invaders, they have not forgotten.

There are a dozen or dozens of riots every day in various regions. They either went to attack Lu Xinghe's administrative department, or they went to attack their granaries and armories. Murder and arson, all kinds of evil, make people panic, no peace.

Lu Xinghe is a person, leading troops to fight is his strength, and when it comes to dealing with political and civil issues, there is no difference between him and ordinary people. His methods are nothing more than repression, pacification of this kind, however, with little effect. Metro also proposed a high-pressure policy, suggesting that anyone who participated or did not report it should be punished with extremely cruel punishment, which made the people complain, and soon a larger-scale riot broke out, and Lu Xinghe's rule was basically in turmoil.
