Chapter 40: Defeat

"It's really cold this day, fortunately there is the city bishop and our ondol, otherwise I don't know how to spend this winter." The old woman sat on the kang and sewed clothes, and said to her son, who came in from outside the house.

"Hey, it's so cold outside," the man exhaled and added some firewood to the pit that was about to run out of fire, "You didn't call her the lord of the city before." ”

Seeing that her son was finally on the kang, the old lady covered him with a blanket distressedly: "Hey, that's different now." ”

It's different now, the new city lord is fundamentally different from what those people said before, she won't treat them harshly as ordinary people, and she still cares about their lives.

It's not terrible to be bitter, but it's terrible that the superior is uneasy and kind.

"Is the rice at home almost finished?" Men don't have the same good mentality as their mothers, it's useless to be good, and they have to think about how to live.

Thinking of the rice jar with only a thin bottom, the old woman looked nervous.

"I hope the city lord can think of a way, otherwise how many people will starve to death this winter."

Xu couldn't bear to let his mother worry about this, and the man laughed: "This city lord is not an ordinary person, don't worry, she will definitely be able to think of a way." ”

"Well, you're right." The old woman smiled back and showed the clothes she was almost sewing in her hand to the other party.

In Twin Tree City, a man is restless in his home study.

This person is not anyone, it is Tsubasa Matsuuchi.

In the past, Matsuuchi Tsubasa, like Ryota Ishii, didn't think much of a woman in Sara, and felt that what a woman could do, and it was difficult to achieve great things if she was sensitive and hesitant.

But as a result, she destroyed the Tata nation.

At that time, he and Ishii Ryota still had the same idea, it was all the credit of the monster and the credit of General Zuo, what does it have to do with her.

The suzerain's entourage and the army of the people from Azuono City who were countered against the generals made Matsuuchi Tsubasa feel scared in his heart, Suo Luo is not an ordinary woman at all, where is she a woman who knows how to be benevolent. If you sin against her, you will not have good fruit to eat.

This time, Ryota Ishii has a big plan, and he is afraid that failure will affect him.

Now I am faced with a choice, against the water or with the other party all the way to the black.

"Whatever, if he wants to die," Tsubasa Matsuuchi's eyes flashed with an obscure light, calling the little guy outside the door in, "There are people watching outside." ”

When he came out of Ryota Ishii, he sensed that something was wrong, maybe the other party had already suspected him, otherwise how could he take away such an important power to manage food.

"Yes, there have been two people on the street corner, are you paying attention to our house?"

Tsubasa Matsuuchi was timid, but not a fool, squinting his eyes and pacing in the study with his hands behind his back.

The thin man smiled contemptuously and waved his big hand: "Go and call some people to cover me from somewhere else." ”

Since Ryota Ishii was already suspicious of him, why couldn't he betray the other party and join the female city lord?

"Quick! Just go! ”

"Yes, yes!" The little guy was stunned for a moment, and immediately went out to make arrangements.

At night, outside the gate of Matsunachi's house, two people in charge of keeping an eye on it were resting in shifts, asking if the target could make a move before he could do it.

"I haven't been out of the house since I entered the house."

"That's fine, I'll keep an eye on the rest."

Just when the two of them were not vigilant at all, a dark shadow slowly climbed down from the high wall on the side of the mansion, and was even stumbled, almost exhaling in pain.

"Your Excellency, how are you, Your Excellency?" The subordinates were shocked and hurriedly inquired about their situation.

The black shadow bared his teeth and waved his hand frantically to indicate that it was okay: "You go back, don't be discovered." ”

"Yes, then, you have to be careful along the way."

"Go back." After the shadow finished speaking, he limped and disappeared into the night.

After dealing with official business in the evening, Suo Luo had to prepare to change his clothes and go to sleep, when suddenly, the maid hurriedly came in to report.

"Castle Lord......"

"Huh?" Sora listened to the maid's words, her eyes widened, "Let him wait for me in the study, be careful, don't let people find out." ”

Since the man was cautious about the audience, he certainly didn't want to be discovered.

The maid was busy, and then quickly went down to make arrangements.

The night was dark, and all the maids in the study of the city lord's mansion were called out, the door was wide open, and a thin figure with a thin back was lying down, and he didn't know what to report to Suo Luo, who was sitting on the top.

How could the bureau designed by Suo Luo not know that someone couldn't help but make a move.

I knew that there would be a dispute, but I didn't know what it would be, and the arrival of this person tonight gave her a glimpse of it.

"Continue to cooperate with him, as for the rest, I will let the others prepare, you have to be careful."

After saying so much, Sara has always been very calm, and Matsunachi Tsubasa was anxious, and his face couldn't help but show a little relief, and he was completely relieved to hear the last sentence.

The thin man's back straightened a little, and his tone was complimentary: "Weichen must be optimistic about him, if there is anything else, he will definitely come to report." ”

"Well, I'll have someone send you back."

In the past, the camps were different, and it was too late for Matsuuchi Tsubasa to hate Sara, but now that he has taken sides, there is no room for remorse.

He was also afraid that she would fail.

It is much more difficult for a woman to be in power than a man, and once her heart is not ruthless enough, she will be doomed, and sitting in the same boat with her, Matsunachi Tsubasa gradually feels that her is not easy to come.

"The lord of the city needs manpower, and I have many more men at my disposal, so if you need it, send it."

Seeing that he had not moved all this time, he was puzzled, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Before, she might have doubted whether what he said was true or false, but now she believed it a little more. If there is a falsehood, how can such a bad thing be said that makes people suspicious.

If she thought he wanted to infiltrate, wouldn't he be miserable.

"No, you just look at him."

"Yes," Tsubasa Matsuuchi was just worried before, but now that he came back to his senses, he felt hasty, "Then I'll go back." ”

After all, he was thrown by the enemy camp, and he couldn't trust him when he talked to Suoluo, and she wouldn't accept it or not, maybe he would have to be suspected.

Seeing Matsuuchi's back disappear, Sara leaned back in her chair and squinted.

The maids entered the study one after another, and Butterfly also came back to wait beside her.

"It's too dangerous just now, how can you let everyone go down." Butterflies were so worried that she kept paying attention to the situation in the temple when she was outside the door.

The gloom on Suoluo's face dissipated, and he said, "Someone is secretly protecting me, so why worry. ”

Other city lords have ninjas, how could she not have them. Even if it wasn't at the beginning, it was there by this time, and if Tsubasa Matsunachi dared to do it just now, he would definitely be beheaded in the study.

Besides, what can Matsunachi Tsubasa do with the soft-footed shrimp.

After pondering for a while, Sara sneered and let Butterfly listen.

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Instructions were arranged, officials were in an orderly manner, and everything seemed to have not changed, but it was as if everything had changed.

There is nothing to do on the surface, maybe it is a premonition, Ryota Ishii is still more and more irritable day by day, and there is always a feeling that a big disaster is coming.

"It can't be delayed any longer." Once on this path, there is no turning back, and there is no choice but to be more ruthless.

Turning his eyes away from Tsubasa Matsuuchi, Ryota Ishii would have wanted to strangle him if he wasn't sensible.

His people didn't find out what was wrong with this man, but ......

In the past, Matsuuchi Tsubasa would ask if there would be any event, but these days he didn't ask but he didn't say much, which always made him feel upset, and he suspected that the other party must have done something.

It's not easy to take people if there is no evidence, and Ryota Ishii can only try not to let him interfere in the future.

Matsuuchi Tsubasa also sensed that he might be suspected, and he didn't show that he was in a hurry on his face.

"I don't know how the city lord is preparing, but don't let him succeed." That night, he went to find the city lord, and the maids around the city lord knew about it.

If the lord of the city is defeated, the maids will surely recruit him.

Worry and fear coalesce in Matsuuchi's heart.

Ryota Ishii was restless and rushed to act, and five days later finally launched the most appalling deliberate fire.

In order to make the fire look bigger, the casualties were heavier, and to give the people of Twin Tree City a false impression that the fire kang encouraged by Suo Luo was actually very dangerous, and she did this in order to kill all the people of the old country quietly, Ishii Ryota deliberately asked people to choose a place with many houses.

The weather is dry, and in case of a fire, a large number of houses will have to be burned down, and people will fall asleep and unconscious at night, and many people will surely die.

The struggle for power must involve sacrifice, and he has no sense of guilt at all.

"For the sake of the great cause, the old Congress remembers theirs." With a firelight in his eyes, Ryota Ishii was wearing a fox fur and his voice was cold.

The wooden house was poured with oil, and the wooden door was lit by torches, and the fire spread from one point to another, and the whole house turned into a sea of fire in an instant.

Ryota Ishii deliberately chose a place far away from the center of the city, just to witness his masterpiece at this moment.

The panic in his heart made him feel at ease only when he saw it with his own eyes.

Now, he was finally at ease.

Tomorrow, there will be news that someone has died in the fire pit, and the city lord has been advocating that the purpose of doing something is to kill everyone.

The people in such a big fire house didn't notice for a while, the fire was about to burn themselves, and people should wake up, but unfortunately they couldn't move and scream when they were drugged, and they could only watch the fire spread towards themselves.

Ryota Ishii casually threw away the torch and patted his hand on the fine snow.

"Bold! Dare to burn down a private house! A loud shout seemed to ring in everyone's ears.

The people around the room panicked and looked in the direction where the sound came from, and when they saw the people coming clearly, they hurriedly retreated, and their faces were cold or frightened.

Ryota Ishii also saw someone coming.

Wearing a red cloak and a plush collar that was warm at first glance, Sara stood in the snow, smiling at his eyes.

General Zuo led a group of people, and seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, he ordered half of his troops to rescue people, and the other half to arrest Ryota Ishii and Ichigan.

People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, and now Ishii Ryota is this fish.

The soldiers have surrounded the place, and there is no escape.

Ryota Ishii was tied up by the soldiers and pushed in front of Sora.

Sora gave him a hearty kick and kicked him backwards.

The face of the man in front of him was distorted, and it was painful to think about it, and Sara crossed him and saw that the family had finally been saved from the fire.

"The struggle for power, the ability to win or lose depends on the respect, and it is despicable that the sinister waste kills innocent people." Her red lips lifted slightly.
