Fan Yao felt that the injuries in his body had recovered, and he slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing that catches your eye is Li Sitong's pretty face full of worry, and around her are Li Simiao and Gu Guanyu, as well as Liu Haimao and others.

Fan Yao stood up, looked into the courtyard, and saw that there were still many monks still meditating and healing, and after his eyes signaled, he walked into the general soldier's mansion first.

When they came to the house, everyone sat down in the chairs. I can't help but think of that more than two months ago, everyone knew each other here, and Li Simiao and other Yuanying monks looked at each other and sighed.

Fan Yao walked up to Li Jingang and the others, punched him in the shoulder with a smile, and asked, "Brother Li, are you lazy in practice?"

Li Jingang covered his shoulders and pretended to grin his teeth, and said, "Helper, you are light." There are big bosses watching, how dare I be lazy. ”

Fan Yao hammered the ribs and the thin monkey punch respectively, these two guys are more capable of acting, and shouted crookedly: "The help master is invincible, and the little ones are obedient!"

Fan Yao smiled and pointed at the two, walked in front of Wang Fengnian, remembered the scene of everyone acting together in Wuhai Mountain, couldn't help laughing, hugged his fists and said: "The demeanor of the second master is still the same, which is really gratifying." ”

Wang Fengnian waved his hand and said with a smile: "But let the virtuous brother know that after I returned to the border army with the big boss, the big boss said that you will be the leader of the axe gang in the future, and now you are the big boss." ”

Fan Yao narrowed his eyes and said, "That's not possible, aren't you all gone, won't I become a lonely person?

Everyone laughed in unison.

Fan Yao was joking with a few old acquaintances, but Li Simiao and the others were looking at each other, could it be that our Senior Brother Fan is really the leader of the Axe Gang?

After laughing and making trouble, Fan Yao's face was solemn, his hands were pressed down, and after everyone quieted down, he stretched out his hand to Liu Miao to lead, and then sat down with everyone.

Time was pressing, Liu Miao was not polite, walked in front of everyone, and said: "There are still five hours before the time given by Yuan, under the continuous lobbying of me and Li Zongbing, most of the people in the town are willing to leave, but there are still some people who are willing to stay and garrison Qingwa Town with us, no matter how much I and Li Zongbing persuade each other, it will be useless......." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Miao couldn't help but look at Fan Yao, Fan Yao's heart moved, and he asked, "Mr. Liu, but these people are related to me?"

Liu Miao nodded, and then said: "You have been fighting with the Fuli army outside the town for so long, and some people have received rumors that you have brought people to rescue them, so many people are reluctant to leave, saying that they want to stay and do their meager efforts.

These people include Aunt Zhang, who makes fried dough sticks and soy milk, Zhang Yuanwai from Zhennan, and He Shopkeeper of He's Wooden Tools, and many people you know or don't know. But when they heard that you were fighting the Fuli army outside the town, they all wanted to stay. Fan Yao, since these folks are so resolute, then ....... ”

Fan Yao was moved when he heard this, but he stretched out his hand to interrupt Liu Miao and said, "This matter must not be done...... , Brother Liu, it's up to you to be the villains in this matter, or intimidate or coerce, or even send someone to take them out, and you must not let them stay in this sinister place. Speaking of which, this disaster is still brought by us to these people, and it is better not to implicate them in this war between the two countries. ”

Liu Haimao smiled: "It's not simple. Thin monkey, ribs, you two take some brothers, discuss it carefully, if it still doesn't work, listen to your helper, and escort them all out. Don't let these brave people lose their lives here. ”

The thin monkey and the ribs happily accepted the order, gave a salute to Liu Haimao and Fan Yao, and walked outside the mansion.

"It's okay to pretend to be fierce, but don't hurt these people. This is where the cornerstone of Dajing lies, and there are not many people like them anymore. Liu Haimao hurriedly instructed again.

The thin monkey and the ribs turned around and said yes again, and then turned to leave.

Liu Miao sighed and said: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and it is really the blessing of the country that I can have such people in Dajing." ”

Fan Yao shook his head and frowned: "Mr. Liu, these people, farmers have taxes, and the same is true for businessmen. Dajing got these taxes, organized the court, raised the army, and also collected heavenly materials and treasures to support the cultivation sect. They have done what they should have done, but if the country is not strong and humiliated, what does it have to do with these people? What does it have to do with the sluggish government, the weak army, and the incompetence of the monks?"

Liu Miao was stunned when she heard this, and had the heart to say a few words, but found that she was unable to refute it.

Fan Yao smiled, and then said: "Brother Liu said that these people are the cornerstone of my Dajing, and this sentence is not wrong. But how can the rise and fall of a nation be controlled by these people?

They toiled hard, except for taxes, but for food and clothing. How can they have their voices and opinions heard on national matters? Aren't they all those who take the taxes of these people making decisions for them?

The government decree is wrong, the system is collapsing, the country is in danger, and it is really the work of an incompetent person to kidnap these innocent people into the chariot with the word of responsibility, and it is even despised by me! Mr. Liu, I am really curious, who said such a disregard for the facts?

As soon as Fan Yao said this, those monks devoted themselves to cultivation and didn't care about political affairs, so they didn't think anything about it. But Liu Haimao and Li Yiyang were thoughtful and silent.

Liu Miao pondered for a long time, glanced at Fan Yao deeply, and said astringently: "This matter will be discussed later." General Liu, let's discuss how to defend Qingwa Town first. ”

Hearing this, Liu Haimao stood up and said with a solemn face: "I brought 5,000 cavalry, and when I broke through into the town, less than 600 people were killed, so there are still 4,400 people. I plan to place 800 men on each of the four walls of the town, and the rest will be the rear hand, and where the battle line is tight, I will rush to help. ”

Liu Miao nodded when she heard this, but Fan Yao set his eyes on Li Sitong, with an inquiring meaning in his eyes.

Li Sitong smiled slightly, stood up and said, "If General Liu's strategy is used in peacetime, it will be useless. But now that the people of the town have been evacuated safely, and the rest is nothing more than a bloody battle, I don't think there is any need to disperse the troops, just because whether the Fuli army can attack the town is not so important. ”

Liu Haimao was also stunned when he heard Li Sitong say this, and couldn't help but clench his fists and said: "It's that I'm conformist, thank you for this girl's high opinion." ”

Fan Yao glanced at Li Sitong approvingly, and Li Sitong smiled with a smile.

Fan Yao pondered for a moment, and finally asked the question he didn't want to mention in his heart.

"I don't know how many casualties our monks suffered in the battle at the south gate of the town?"

Li Simiao sighed, got up and said, "Senior Brother Fan, I'll count it when I enter the town. Our Yuanying Monk is better, but a few of them are seriously injured, and they are not in serious trouble for the time being after taking the pill. However, our Jindan monks lost sixteen of them. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Guanyu also stood up and said, "Senior Brother Fan, it's me who is incompetent and didn't take care of those junior brothers and sisters. ”

Fan Yao motioned for the two of them to sit down, and said, "If there is a war, there will be casualties, let alone a monk war. In vain, you and I are both, so you don't need to take it too seriously. ”

After pacifying the two, Fan Yao pondered for a moment, and then said: "Brother Liu, there are millions of troops outside Qingfeng City facing each other, and there is such a big movement over there, how can you be suspicious of you alone? Also, is my Dajing's Palm Heaven Pavilion just an ornament now?"

Liu Haimao: "Hehe!" sneered a few times before he spoke: "Brother Fan, I'm afraid this Palm Heaven Pavilion is no longer as simple as an ornament. Not only do we know nothing about the movement of tens of thousands of troops, but there are also high-ranking people to cover their whereabouts.

If it weren't for General Deng Lifu's daily dedication to everything, through the number of enemy flags, he found that Fuli was missing tens of thousands of horses from the army, I am afraid that we would still be kept in the dark. The Admiral examined the traces of the enemy's chariots and horses, and concluded that they might be heading south, so he ordered me to come here with men and horses to investigate, so that you could meet and break the conspiracy of the Fuli side. ”

Fan Yao glanced at Liu Miao, saw that his face sank like water, and sighed and said: "If you do too much, it's not that you don't look at death, and the souls are everywhere." ”

stimulated Liu Miao with two sentences, and Fan Yaocai said loudly: "Everyone, there are still four hours before Fu is from one side, and it will be a melee and bloody battle."

In such a big town, any formation strategy is a joke, it is nothing more than a competition of real swords and guns. Therefore, everyone should seize the time to recuperate, and after three days, those who can still survive, let's get together again to have a good drink and chat. ”

The faces of the people were solemn, and they stood up and said yes, and then they left one after another.

Fan Yao waited for everyone to leave cleanly, looked at Liu Miao, who was sitting on the chair without moving, and said, "Brother Liu, why are you doing this? ”

Liu Miao's face turned red, and she glared at Fan Yao and said loudly, "I don't know where you heard those fallacies. Let's not say that I originally planned not to leave, but I don't leave now, just to prove to you that the sentence that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband is by no means untargeted. ”

"Foolish!"

Fan Yao stood up, looked at Liu Miao and continued: "As a teacher, it is your responsibility to enlighten children and teach knowledge. It is his responsibility for the farmer in the town to cultivate the land, and it is his responsibility for the merchant to do business and provide for the needs of others. If I had to add the phrase 'rise and fall of nations' before these, I would never agree with that. ”

Fan Yao walked out of the door as he spoke, thought about it, turned around and said with a smile: "When I have time, I will definitely go to the capital to see your seniors, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and know a few folk sufferings? ”
