The western section of Yunling, this will surround the province of Yunzhong three-quarters of the mountain range clouds and mist straight into the sky, the steepness of the Yunling, craggy far more than the Qinling Mountains, Qinling may still be able to rely on the green ridge to hide from the sky and the sea, but the Yunling is impossible, thousands of meters of steep altitude, snow in all seasons, avalanches, storms, etc. are like commonplace, not to mention human soldiers, even gods are unwilling to face this severe natural power.

Tongyun Pass, a ten-mile pass, is located between the two mountain ranges of Yunling, and is also the largest passage between the Seven Seas Province and the Yunzhong Province, but after the war, Tongyun Pass has been locked and refused to travel between business travelers and refugees, but the Yunzhong Province has fallen, and countless people who have wandered and lost their places are still gathered in the fertile fields of the East of Tongyun Pass.

Every day people are dying of hunger, the bodies are left unburied, and the plague has begun to rage.

......

On the closing of the city, Tang Xiaoxi wore a red dress, looked at the refugee camp in the east from a distance, and said, "We really can't come up with any ideas?"

On the side, Chen Xiaoli hugged his fists and said: "County Lord, you really can't open the city gate, no one knows if there are any soldiers from the Tianji Empire among the refugees, once they mix in and open the city gate, Tongyun Pass will be lost, and behind Tongyun Pass are the 40 million imperial people of the Seven Seas Province......"

Tang Xiaoxi was silent.

After a while, she raised her head, and her bright eyes were extremely cold: "Send my cavalry out of the customs in the afternoon, bring food and water to appease the people, they are all subjects of the empire after all, if we don't care about their lives for the sake of war, what can we do if we win this war?"

"But the county lord ......"

"Don't say it, if Mu Mu and Feng Jixing were here, they would do the same. ”

"I ......" Chen Xiaoli was a little speechless, as a professional soldier, he knew what to do and what not to do, and at this time, Tang Xiaoxi's approach was not in line with the art of war, but it was in line with the way of the king, so Chen Xiaoli was a little at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Ouyang Yan pursed her red lips and said, "There is a plague called evil that is prevalent outside the city, once it is infected, it will festering and die, and it cannot be cured at all, three out of ten people outside the city have this plague, Lord Xi, are you sure you want to bring them into the city?"

"But Sister Chu Yao is not here, otherwise she must have a way to cure this plague. Tang Xiaoxi frowned: "But I can't watch them die outside the city, Ouyang, do you have any good solutions?"

Ouyang Yan was stunned: "Use my method?"

"Hmm. ”

"It's simple, a fire burns them, and it's gone. ”

"When I didn't ask. ”

“......”

In the afternoon, the gate of Tongyun Pass opened, Tang Xiaoxi led a hundred horsemen out of the city, and behind him was a convoy, carrying supplies from the Seven Seas Province into the jungle, when the auxiliary county lord appeared in the crowd, the people were stunned one by one, many of them were covered with rotten sores and pus, but they didn't expect to see the nobles of the empire before they died.

"It's Lord Xijun...... It's the Lord of Xi, she brought us food, and the empire didn't give up on us!"

I don't know who shouted, everyone knelt down one after another, shouting: "Long live the Lord of the Xi County! Long live the Lord of the Xi County!"

Tang Xiaoxi led the war horse slowly through the crowd, looking at the faces eager to live, she felt extremely uncomfortable, how much pain the war has brought to people, but this is not something she can control, if she can end this war as soon as possible, how good it would be...... It is also at this time that people feel how lovely and respectable Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, and the soldiers who are charging for the empire are.

"Everyone, be quiet. ”

Tang Xiaoxi's voice was very clear, the divine power of the law was contained in the sound, it spread far away, everyone quickly quieted down, and Tang Xiaoxi looked at the people around him, and said: "The empire will never abandon you, the Qin family will never give up on you, but the enemy is very strong, we still need time, please believe me Tang Xiaoxi, the empire will definitely win this battle! I brought food and water to everyone, please don't fight." ”

The crowd shouted in unison.

But at this time, an old man with a festering left leg was on crutches, looked at Tang Xiaoxi blankly, and said, "Lord Xi, say so...... The Empire doesn't plan to open the Cloud Pass, so let's go to the Seven Seas Province?"

Tang Xiaoxi was a little sad, and said: "The plague is raging outside the city, once everyone enters the Tongyun Pass, the plague will be raging in the pass, and our 150,000 elite soldiers will face annihilation, but please rest assured, I will send people to set up tents outside the pass and provide water and food every day." ”

"What are you talking about? Are you telling us to die here?"

A big man with a festering face roared angrily: "We are the people of the empire, why don't we enter the cloud pass? You incompetent nobles only know that you are enjoying yourself in a good place, and you don't care about the life or death of our people at all!"

People were in a desperate situation and began to curse.

", put away your hypocritical face!"

"The Qin family is all waste, you are just a dog of the Qin family, even more waste!"

"Hypocritical empire, perish sooner!"

......

Tang Xiaoxi turned around, still leading the war horse, and walked in the direction of Tongyun Pass, tears sliding down her cheeks one by one, how could she have been humiliated like this. Around, one by one, the refugees even picked up stones and threw them at her, but they were all ejected by the power of the divine wall.

Ouyang Yan followed Tang Xiaoxi without saying a word.

After walking for a while, Ouyang Yan said, "Let's follow my method and burn them with a fire." ”

"Nope. ”

Tang Xiaoxi looked at the barren grass under the horse's hooves, and cried loudly: "I represent the royal family of the Great Qin Empire, they can be sorry for me, but I can't be sorry for them, Mu Mu and Xiaoyin have already suffered a lot of grievances, how can I play the temper of the eldest lady here, I ...... I ......"

She couldn't cry, everyone understands the truth, but if it really comes to the point of betraying her relatives, who can guarantee that she will be able to bear it?

Ouyang Yan pursed her red lips and said, "No wonder Qin Han chose to ascend without hesitation...... The things of this mortal realm are indeed as muddy as a pool of muddy water, but unfortunately, Lin Muyu and you are too obsessed with commitments and responsibilities, otherwise, you will fly directly to the Eastern Heaven Realm, with the Seven Yao Demon Emperors to protect you, you can be completely exclusive in the Eastern Heaven Realm. ”

"Don't say it, Ouyang ......"

Tang Xiaoxi bit his red lip and said, "Leave the food and water, all the members of the guard who go out of the city with us must be quarantined for observation, and the isolation can only be stopped if there is no illness within ten days, you and I ...... It's the same. ”

"Don't worry, we are gods, and this mortal plague cannot infect our bodies at all. ”

"Are we really that good?"

"Of course. ”

"Then why do I feel wronged?" Tang Xiaoxi's eyes were red.

Ouyang Yan looked at her with some distress: "Because you are a good person, people are good and are bullied, human nature is originally like this, selfish, greedy, you think about others everywhere, others may not be like this, according to my temper, burn this group of ungrateful, stupid and ignorant people, we are gods, qualified to surpass them." ”

"No need. ”

Tang Xiaoxi shook his head: "The Qin family needs the will of the people, and needs the mouth of the world to save the dynasty of Great Qin, there are some things I can't do, go back." ”

"Hmm. ”

In the city, Chen Xiaoli watched everything that happened from a distance, without saying a word, and only after a while did he say to the two lieutenant generals behind him: "What the Lord of Xi County can't do, I'll help him, go and prepare, and I'll be ready to do it as soon as midnight today." ”

"Yes, Lord Archon!"

......

When the night came, the gates of the city were wide open, and a group of elite iron horsemen of Nanami City galloped out, all holding torches, and on the buttocks of the horses behind them were heavy bags, each bag full of gold coins.

Chen Xiaoli galloped at the forefront with a spear, broke into the refugee camp all the way, and began to throw a handful of gold coins into the crowd, while shouting: "Take the money, go to Twilight Rain City to find a way out, don't stay here, you can live with this money, if you continue to stay here, you can only wait for death!"

The crowd was chaotic, and the people were scrambling for gold coins.

And Chen Xiaoli took a total of nearly 1,000 cavalry out of the city, everyone's mouth and nose were covered with cloth, and gold coins were scattered everywhere, when everyone got a lot of gold coins, Chen Xiaoli immediately raised his spear, and said loudly: "Go! All leave! Kill all those who don't leave!"

Many of the refugees voiced their opposition.

"Dangdangdang......"

The sharp knife was unsheathed, and the cavalry quickly slashed and killed dozens of stubborn people, the blood on the blade was still dripping, and the refugees were stunned, they didn't expect Chen Xiaoli to really dare to make a move.

"Get out, don't get out again!

Chen Xiaoli was decisive and raised his spear, but he had a bit of a demeanor to follow.

The cavalry drove away, and the people left the camp one after another, heading straight for Twilight City.

......

The next morning, Tang Xiaoxi was furious after getting the news of the chaos outside the city last night, and in the general's mansion, Chen Xiaoli had been tied up by five flowers, and the two deputy generals knelt in the hall together.

"What the hell is going on?" Tang Xiaoxi was so angry that his face turned red: "Chen Xiaoli, you dare to use swords against the people, do you still have me as the county lord in your eyes?"

"Yes. ”

Chen Xiaoli knelt on the ground, his eyes were red and said: "Lord Xi, I, Chen Xiaoli, was originally the general of Seven Seas City, and I was promoted by His Royal Highness King Xin after my father's death, I Chen Xiaoli is the general of the Tang family, and I never want to see Lord Xi suffer such humiliation, I have expelled a group of white-eyed wolves outside the city, but I have given them gold coins, so that they will not starve to death on the road, and ...... If they go to Twilight City with the plague, they will also infect the hundreds of thousands of dragon Ji soldiers and wolf soldiers in Twilight City, why don't we do it?"

"What about the millions of people in Dusk City?"

Tang Xiaoxi said lightly: "Who cares if they live or die?"

Chen Xiaoli raised his head, his proud face was full of smiles: "There is no such thing as the best of both worlds in the world, and you want to defeat your opponent and want to save the common people, this kind of thing has not been done since ancient times, Lord Xi, you behead me, use my head to pay tribute to the dead, and use my blood to wash the stains I brought to the Qin family." ”

"You really dare to say it!" Tang Xiaoxi slapped the table: "Pull it out and cut it!"

The crowd was so shocked that they trembled and did not dare to speak.

The corners of Ouyang Yan's mouth raised: "You generals are all fools, don't you know how to intercede?"

A group of generals hurriedly knelt together and shouted pleas.

......

"For the sake of so many people pleading, spare your life. ”

Tang Xiaoxi didn't want to kill Chen Xiaoli, otherwise who would defend the city and lead the troops, her eyes were cold, and she said lightly: "The official will be demoted by one level, fined for half a year, and dragged down for one day." ”

"Yes!"

Chen Xiaoli had a smile on his face, as if he had been promoted to the third level: "Thank you Lord Xi for sparing my dog's life!"
