Because of the death of Lu Wende, there are many contradictions between the Lu family.

And throughout the city, news of this has also spread.

No, after Li Yi had just returned from patrolling outside the city, he saw Niu Fu and Wang Fu gathering together, with sorrow in their eyes, and the soldiers above the city were all shrouded in a sad atmosphere.

Slightly surprised, he opened his mouth and asked, "Hey." What are you two discussing?"

Niu Fu and Wang Fu are the guards of the gate of Xiangyang City, and they are responsible for guarding the safety of Xiangyang City, because Li Yi often needs to patrol outside, in order to facilitate his own actions, so he often looks for various reasons to get close to the two.

"Alas. What else could be the matter?" Niu Fu sighed secretly, his eyes swept over the soldiers around him, and he seemed to be really worried about something: "It's not because of the previous battle of Lumen Fort?"

Li Yi laughed at himself and replied: "The battle of Lumen Fort? Isn't the reinforcements a failure?"

"That's right. Because of that Fan Wenhu, the water army lost more than one-third. In desperation, General Gao had no choice but to retreat. Wang Fu shook his head, his face full of sorrow: "If we are surrounded by the Yuan army like this, what can we do." ”

Although it was backed by the grain producing area of the two lakes, because of the encirclement strategy of the Yuan army, Xiangyang's route to obtain resources from the outside was completely cut off.

Relying only on the grain stored in the city can only last for three years at most.

What will happen in three years, they really can't imagine.

Li Yi replied with deep feelings: "It has become like this? Then Lu Wenhuan didn't think of a way? Now in this situation, everyone knows that if we can't break the encirclement, then we really have no way to go to heaven and no way to go down." ”

"Think of a way? Do you think he can come up with a way with Lu Wenhuan? He is not the king of Jin, and we are not the Huaxia army, how can we break through the blockade of the Yuan army. Niu Fu laughed at himself, and added another sentence at the end: "What's more, that kind of thing is happening now." As if frightened, Niu Fu quickly shut up, looked around with his two eyes, and then relaxed.

"That kind of thing, what kind of thing?" Li Yi sharply captured the changes in Niu Fu and asked.

Niu Fu was full of vigilance at this time, shook his head and replied: "This ——, general has already issued an order forbidding us to discuss. ”

"Forbidden to discuss? What is it, is it related to the survival and safety of Xiangyang?" Niu Fu didn't mention it, and his words aroused Li Yi's curiosity.

Wang Fu sighed and complained, "Alas. If you really want to know, wait until you get back. After all, this is the gate of the city, and if someone hears it, it will be troublesome. ”

"I see. ”

Li Yi nodded and led his soldiers back to the barracks.

After the soldiers were properly settled, he casually found a reason to leave the barracks, but ran directly to the drunken wind house.

Since the siege of Xiangyang, many restaurants in the city have closed down, and there is only one drunken house that has become a good place for Li Yi to drink away his sorrows. And he often brought Niu Fu and Wang Fu here to win over the two. So this place has also become a good place for the three of them to discuss the world.

As soon as he stepped into the drunken wind house, Li Yi complained to the boss: "Boss, first serve me three jars of wine, two catties of braised beef, and a few side dishes, do you know?"

"I'm really sorry for the guest officer, the beef has been sold out recently, and there are only chicken and duck in the back kitchen, I don't know if I can change it to something else?" Huang Zhen hurriedly walked out, bowed and complained to Li Yi.

That's right, the bosses of this drunken wind house are Huang Zhen and Liu Kezhuang.

In order to stay in Xiangyang and inquire about the information of the Song army, they took stock of this inn and used it as a place to collect intelligence.

Li Yi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he shouted, "The beef is gone?"

"Alas. Not before, but since Xiangyang was surrounded by the Yuan army, it has not worked. Every time I go out of the city, I don't think it's good to collect enough ingredients to save my life. At the moment, it's just holding on, and if it continues, I'm afraid it's going to be closed. Liu Kezhuang was a little sad.

"It's that gang of Ziyuan Army again. ”

Li Yi muttered and scolded, seeing that Huang Zhen was pitiful, he had to reply: "Okay, then you can serve whatever you have in the back kitchen." ”

"Then I'm going to prepare?"

Huang Zhen quickly left and returned to the back kitchen, until then there was a clanging sound in the back kitchen, Liu Kezhuang also brought three jars of wine to the table, and his face was also a little helpless: "Alas." These three jars of wine are already the last reserves. If this continues, maybe I should close my doors. ”

"Closed?"

Only then did Li Yi notice that in this drunken wind house, except for himself, there was no one left, which can be described as extremely depressed.

It's all troubled times, and it's difficult to fill your stomach, so who is still in the mood to go to a restaurant?

At this time, Wang Fu and Niu Fu walked in from outside the door, and the two of them saw that Li Yi was already waiting here, so they hurriedly walked up and found a seat to do it.

"Alas. I'm really sorry to let you break the bank, brother, every time. ”

In the troubled times, the food is the heaviest, compared with usual, the wine and food in this restaurant are naturally several times higher, and every banquet is Li Yi's invitation, but it makes the two of them feel a little guilty.

Li Yi squeezed out a smile and said, "We are all brothers, what do we need to be polite? You two do it quickly, don't delay." It's a pity that this wine and food is really simple, but it can't stand the two brothers. ”

"There's nothing to be afraid of. It's good that you can have this heart. Niu Fu replied.

Wang Fu also persuaded: "That's right. And the two of us are still hiding in the city, what is better than brothers taking risks outside? As he spoke, he took a jar of wine, slapped the sealing mud open, saluted Li Yi, and poured it into his mouth.

Niu Fu also raised his glass and said, "Brother Li." You can't say no. ”

"Good. Then the three of us brothers will do it as respect. Li Yi also replied loudly, and also raised the wine jar and saluted the two of them.

After a sip of wine, Wang Fu's face was slightly red, and the thoughts in his mind were also paralyzed by alcohol, and he completely lost the vigilance he had at the head of the city.

Li Yi thought about what the two of them looked like when they were in the city, and couldn't help but be curious in his heart anymore, and asked, "That's right." What exactly are you talking about, and why do you have to say it here?"

"Alas. It's not that Chongguo Gongxue has passed away. Niu Fu shook his head and replied.

Wang Fu followed and said: "In order to prevent disturbing the morale of the army, General Lu also asked us not to discuss it. But the spirit cards are all laid out, who else do you want to deceive?"

"Chongguo Gong, it turns out that Lu Wende's wife died?" Although Li Yi looked drunk on the surface, his heart was very open, and when he was surprised, he also began to think carefully, if he passed this news to Zheng Shipang in Junzhou, he didn't know what he would gain.

Now that the fall of Xiangyang is a foregone conclusion, he doesn't want to accompany this Xiangyang to fall together.
