The king of Anguo, with his queen and favorite concubines, fled the capital by boat under the escort of several ministers, leaving the people of the city with the "100,000" army of the dragon king.

If every country in the Western Regions was the same as Anguo, Gu Shenwei would be a little reluctant to give up the terrifying aura that shrouded the Dragon King.

Since the king fled, the king's order was naturally nullified, and the guards at the gate consulted with each other for a while, opened the city gate, and let the people outside, and Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl followed in.

The city gate was never closed again, and the few guards threw away their weapons and ran with the people to the docks of the northern city.

News of the king's flight had spread throughout the capital, and thousands of people were crowded on the small docks.

Everyone is one step late.

The king took three large ships, and the other ships, big or small, or who their owners were, were all scuttled.

Dozens of fishermen were crying on the shore.

It was a moment of despair, and one by one rumors of unknown origin spread among the crowd.

"The dragon king's army is thirty miles away from the city!"

"There is a river of blood outside the city!"

"The Dragon King has ordered the slaughter of the city, and no one will be left!"

......

The big boat that the king and his party were riding was faintly visible, and I don't know who took the lead, dozens of men suddenly jumped into the water and swam hard, as if they could catch up with the big boat in front of them, and one of them even didn't know how to water at all, and a few floated and disappeared completely.

The panicked crowd, the situation with no way out, Gu Shenwei just thought of "if someone raises their arms at this time", someone really stood up.

"Don't panic, everyone!" shouted a young man in his twenties, standing on an abandoned car with three peers at his feet, "all come and listen to me, I have a way to keep everyone alive." ”

The young man looked quite slick, but to the thousands of people on the dock, these words were like the decree of the Buddha, and they all surrounded him.

The young man was very happy, coughed twice and cleared his throat, "Don't hide it from you, I know the Dragon King very well, as long as I go and tell him, the people in the city are willing to surrender, and ensure that he will not even move a single grass or tree." ”

"Surrender, we surrender. The audience shouted that the king had fled, and the loyalty of the people had vanished.

The young man became more and more satisfied, waved his hands, and asked everyone to be silent, "But surrender cannot be based on just one sentence, it has to be a little expressive, this is not my business alone, each of you has to pay money, it is not expensive, one hundred taels per person, I will write down the name and issue a voucher, and you will be safe." ”

The partners around his feet, one held up a pen and paper, and the other two waved the red thread in their hands, indicating that they had been prepared.

One hundred taels, some people think it is not expensive, and immediately squeeze forward to pay, but for most people, the sum of a family is hundreds or thousands of taels, which is by no means a small amount.

Anguo is a remote and small country in the Western Regions, and it can't be compared with the drunken and gold-obsessed Biyu City, and many poor people don't even have a single or two pieces of silver on hand.

Then there was chaos on the docks, and one of the young man's friends had to step in to maintain order.

There have already been a dozen or so anxious people who have paid the money and received a red line that is no more ordinary, and their names have been written haphazardly on paper.

Gu Shenwei didn't want to stop this scam, there was nothing wrong with calming the frightened people, and in this way, the capital would not be defended, which was a good thing for the army of Daxue Mountain to be stationed.

He and the Lotus Maiden walked around the crowd, looking for traces of the traitors in Xiaoyuetang.

However, there are still people who are dissatisfied with the young man's behavior, "Huapi, what kind of trouble, when did you meet the Dragon King?"

The young man's nickname was "Flower Skin Dog", and only the most familiar people called him "Flower Skin", so when he heard this title, he felt bad, forced his composure, and said in a loud voice: "You are the king's guard, I befriended the dragon king, of course you will not know." ”

The true face of the flower skin was the leader of the guards, that is, the people he ordered to open the city gate and let it outside, and he was the only one, although he left the city tower, the scimitar beside him was not thrown away, and it was still hanging under his waist.

"Don't believe this kid. The leader of the guards shouted through the crowd: "He is a scoundrel in the back streets, he has never left the capital, how can he know the Dragon King? Don't be fooled, Your Majesty will lead the rescue soldiers back to China, our city wall is high and thick, as long as a few hundred people can defend it." The dragon king is a human ......"

Seeing that the large sum of silver that was about to arrive was about to fly away again, Hua Pi was a little angry, and pointed to the leader of the guards and said: "The dragon king has rewards and punishments, and those who pay the money can live, and those who have no money can also keep the family safe if they kill the king's guards!"

This incitement was extremely effective, and many people immediately looked at the leader of the guards with different eyes, but they were afraid of the knife in his hand and did not dare to attack rashly, but they formed a tight circle and slowly approached.

The leader of the guards was not afraid of danger, pulled out his scimitar, waved it vigorously in front of him, and shouted: "Those who are not afraid of death come up, and those who are afraid of the dragon king are so afraid that their souls are gone, do you have the courage to kill your own people?"

Flowerskin made the mistake of encompassing all the few dozen remaining guards in the city, who were already scattered, but now united around the leader, small in number, but the most powerful in the midst of an unorganized crowd.

The leader of the guards originally only wanted to expose the deception of Huapi, but the situation forced him to take one step at a time, so he held a scimitar and strode towards the place where several young men were, and the people on the road avoided one after another, regardless of whether they had money or not, they did not dare to step forward.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Huapi and the others jumped out of the carriage and squeezed into the crowd to escape.

Several guards couldn't help but say, and lifted the leader to the place where Huapi had just stood, looking at him expectantly.

A panicked crowd craves a leader, like a drowning person needs air.

The courage of the head of the guards was exhausted, he had never seen such a large formation, and he was more accustomed to carrying out orders than issuing orders, "Everyone...... Listen to me. ”

This phrase was his mantra, which few people usually cared about, but at this time it had a miraculous effect, and the people on the dock immediately forgot about the rogue youth and turned their hopes to the leader of the guards, and even the old neighbors who knew him unconsciously developed a sense of awe.

It was quiet again, except for the occasional cry of a baby.

The leader of the guards was even more uneasy," I said...... The Dragon King is a man, not a god, not a demon, he was defeated by the Dubu King, and he fled to come here. ”

The crowd nodded their heads, thinking he had a point.

The leader of the guards was encouraged, raised his voice and said: "The dragon king does not have an army of 100,000 at all, but the remnants of 1,800 people are defeated, we don't need to be afraid, close the city gate, and strictly defend it, the dragon king can't attack it, so he will naturally retreat." Moreover, Anguo also has an army, which is attacking Shiguo, His Majesty is going to personally lead the troops back to China, and when the time comes, the Dragon King can only flee from the wind. ”

The mood of the crowd is like a school of fish in the sea, seemingly large, but there is no fixed route of progress, changing from left to right, so fast that the hunters are caught off guard.

The people of Anguo, who just felt that the end was coming, were inspired by a few words from the leader of the guards and became excited, "The Dragon King is not terrible. Some people said that they repeated the five words one after the other as if they were reciting a mantra.

The leader of the guards was so encouraged that he exclaimed, "I need a hundred volunteers, as long as they are young and strong enough to pick up weapons." ”

No one squeaked, and the younger ones all bowed their heads and changed their waists, showing a weak look.

The leader of the guards sank, but he continued: "You also need a commander, it doesn't matter if anyone has been an officer, it doesn't matter if you are older, all of us listen to you, Your Majesty will definitely give a rich reward when he returns to the country." ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd finally mustered up the momentum and immediately deflated, and it turned out that the leader of the guards would only say that he would not do it, so how could he confront the dragon king's army?

"Who? I pledge my life that the volunteers will be rewarded by the king in the future. ”

Still no one squeaked, and the head of the guards panicked and moved nervously on the carriage.

The lotus girl whispered to Gu Shenwei, "You should stand up." ”

This is a strange idea, the people of Anguo are looking for someone who can resist the army of the dragon king, but the dragon king himself has to enlist.

Just in a blink of an eye, Gu Shenwei felt that this was a wonderful idea, so he said loudly: "I can command." ”

Such a simple sentence had the magic to turn things around, and the crowd on the dock fell silent again, and everyone, men, women, and children, looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Gu Shenwei took a step, and the crowd was like a lake dominated by magic, automatically separating to both sides, making way for a wide passage.

The leader of the guards was excited, but when he saw that the conscripts were only a young man in his twenties, and his face was sick, he felt a little unsure.

The young man was still armed with a sword and a sword, just like the legendary dragon king, and the leader of the guards thought this idea was too ridiculous, and immediately expelled it, and asked, "May I ask your Excellency, where did you become an officer?"

"My surname is Gu. Gu Shenwei said his real surname, but in the future he would be treated as a lie, "There have been wars in many places." ”

The recruit didn't say anything, but the calmness he showed was exactly the quality that the panicked crowd needed most, "Lord Gu, we listen to you." Someone rushed to say.

The leader of the guards was still more cautious, "Gu ...... My lord, this is no joke, the lives of the people of the city are in your hands. ”

"Don't worry, with me, no army can easily walk through the city gate, you are right, the dragon king is also a human, he has lost a battle, there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as everyone works together, they can stop it." ”

"There is a magic bird beside the dragon king, and it flew in all of a sudden. Frightened voices came from the crowd.

"The demon bird is not by the Dragon King's side, even if it is there, it can only bring in one person at a time, and there are tens of thousands of people in the city, let alone tens of thousands, can't it deal with one person?"

The leader of the guards was also convinced, this young man seemed to be a real war, maybe a savior given to Anguo by God.

"He's the Dragon King!" a sharp cry swept through the air, startling everyone's hearts beating wildly, "He is the Dragon King, everyone go up together, kill him, and you can keep the capital!"

Gu Shenwei knew who was stirring people's hearts, in fact, he and the lotus girl were waiting for this sentence.
