Chapter 1183: The Alarm Bell Blows
In the blink of an eye, Ye Li had been in Jinzhou City for three days, because he was strong at the beginning, and the disciples spontaneously befriended him.
Ye Li soon got to know most of the doormen, and he became familiar with many people in the Bian family.
Bian Yingying appeared except for Ye Li on the first day of his arrival, and Ye Li didn't see him in the next two days.
After Bian Lishi knew that Ye Li was a genuine first customer, his attitude towards him became a lot more respectful, and he often came to Ye Li in the past three days.
In addition to taking Ye Li around Jinzhou City for half a day and getting familiar with the environment, he also communicated the situation in Jinzhou City with Ye Li.
From his mouth, Ye Li also knew about the situation in Jinzhou City, and it seemed that something was wrong.
Jinzhou City has been a constant war in previous years, but in the past few years, the attack of the Great Yuan Kingdom is actually not too fierce, most of the time, it is mainly to harass each other, although there will also be a sense of fighting for territory, but the attitude of the two countries is not resolute.
Bian Lishi himself revealed that the annual small-scale war is actually very beneficial to the border cities of the two countries, because the continuous war can make the city guards of the border cities of the two sides constantly ask the state for resource subsidies.
In other words, as long as the consumption of the battle is not too large, relying on the resource subsidies to come, Jinzhou City can still make a small profit.
Because of this, the Bian family has earned a lot of savings in this seemingly chaotic land, and the strength of the Bian family is higher than that of most city guard families.
However, since the beginning of this year, the situation has changed somewhat, and the original small-scale friction has recently begun to intensify, with a tendency to break out into large-scale all-out battles.
For this, the Bian family didn't know what the reason was, only that the side of the Great Yuan Kingdom suddenly became active.
Recently, due to the frequent fighting, many out-of-town strongholds built in Jinzhou City's sphere of influence have been attacked, so Bian Yingying applied to the imperial court for support, but it seems that because the peace of the previous years has paralyzed the consciousness of the ministers of the court, they simply do not understand that the subtle changes in the current situation are heralding the beginning of a major war.
On this day, when Ye Li was studying the spell in the house, suddenly the alarm bell in the city rang for a long time.
The sound of the bell spread out, striking the eardrums of everyone in the city, stirring up a ripple of unease in the hearts of the people.
"What's going on!!"
Ye Li, who heard the bell, suddenly raised his head, and the outside began to become noisy.
"Knock knock!"
There was a sudden knock at the door.
"Ye Gongzi, the master asked all the guests to gather at the West City Gate, saying that the army of the Great Yuan Kingdom is pouring towards our Jinzhou City, and we must defend the city with all our might!!"
Outside the door, the shouts of the family were heard.
When Ye Li heard this, he hurriedly rushed to the door and opened the wooden door, and a housekeeper outside stood there with an anxious face.
"Brother Li, the army of the Great Yuan Kingdom has attacked, has it already arrived at the city?"
The family outside was sent by the Bian family to take care of Ye Li's daily life, and the two were very familiar.
"Ye Gongzi, the little one doesn't know the specific situation, but I heard that the army of the Great Yuan Kingdom is coming soon, and it shouldn't have arrived in the city yet.
After all, there are many strongholds on the periphery of our city, and those strongholds should be the first to be attacked, and they are also the first scouts, and we will receive news as soon as the enemy army is in trouble. ”
Jia Ding said to Ye Li.
Ye Li nodded and said, "Okay, I know, I'll go to the city guard mansion immediately." ”
After finishing speaking, Ye Li quickly left Bian's Mansion and rushed towards the City Guard Mansion.
Although he hadn't entered the City Guard Mansion before, he also knew that the City Guard Mansion was not far from Bian's Mansion.
In less than half a burnt of incense, Ye Li had already rushed to the gate of the city guard mansion, and during this time, he also encountered a lot of doormen who were also gathering here.
Luo Sheng saw Ye Li at once, he was wearing a vegetable farmer's clothes at the moment, and even carrying a flat pole, if he didn't know him, Ye Li could really treat him as a vegetable farmer.
"Brother Luo!"
"Brother Ye, you're here too!
Grandma's, I was selling vegetables at the market, and suddenly the alarm bell went on and scared me out.
This alarm bell has not been sounded for at least ten years, and now that it has suddenly sounded, it seems that this time the situation should be very serious, and it is estimated that at least it is a situation where soldiers are approaching the city. ”
After all, Luo Sheng was a person who collected intelligence, and he judged the situation near Jinzhou City very clearly, and he had already speculated about the situation from the moment he heard the bell.
Ye Li nodded and said, "The news I received is indeed about to enter the city, Brother Luo, you are right." ”
While the two were talking, they had already walked into the castle guard's mansion together, and the rest of the guests next to them also walked in, a total of about fifty people.
Most of these disciples are not too powerful talents, and if the battle really starts, there are not many people who can play a role in the war.
Bian Yingying was standing in the center of the City Guard Mansion with a serious face at this time, and in addition to Bian Lishi, there were two young people who looked seven or eight points similar to him.
Although Ye Li didn't know them, he could somewhat guess their identities, which were Bian Lishi's two brothers, Bian Yide and Bian Shouren.
These two people help Bian Yingying with military affairs on weekdays, and most of the time they are on duty in the stronghold outside the city, and rarely return to the city.
Only Bian Lishi was in charge of household affairs, so he spent most of his time in the city to assist Bian Yingxing.
Yu Zhengqiang is also in the doorman team at this time, and he is still standing at the front.
Since he was defeated by Ye Li, he has been in a quiet state, and he has not had trouble with other people on weekdays, but has made the doorman living area a lot quieter.
Yu Zhengqiang was still standing at the front of the team with a high-spirited appearance at first, but after seeing Ye Li come in, his eyes suddenly began to drift away, and he didn't dare to look at Ye Li, and the momentum on his body also fell, and he was no longer as proud as before.
Ye Li didn't bother to pay attention to his reaction, but just crossed the line by himself and came to Bian Lishi's side.
"Brother Bian, Uncle Bian, has the army of the Great Yuan Kingdom come over?"
Ye Li asked bluntly.
Most of the doormen next to them didn't know the situation, but when they heard the alarm bell, they spontaneously rushed from all over the city towards the castle guard's mansion.
Hearing Ye Li's inquiry at this moment, most of the people pricked up their ears.
"Little Brother Ye, please don't be impatient, I will explain the matter to all of you immediately. ”
Bian Yingying said to Ye Li, and there was some respect in his tone.
