Zhao San was smiling and kept expressing gratitude. He didn't avoid Zhou Xian, so he took out a few taels of them for the remaining two, put them in his arms, and then walked out quickly. He heard his voice from afar, "I have all the gifts for you, brothers, go and have some good tea."

Wang Liu smiled flatteringly and said, "Sir, I'll pour you wine." As he said that, he opened his mouth and said, "Oh! This wine is really fragrant. If he hadn't been ordered to serve the adults, the villain would probably not have drunk such good wine in his entire life."

Zhou Xian said slowly: "Then you drink more, I can't drink much anyway."

Wang Liu shook his head quickly and said, "I dare not. Lord Meng just peeled my skin when he saw it."

Zhou Xian raised his head and asked, "Xiao Lian, why did you stop? Are you tired? Then give the fan to Wang Liu and let him take care of you."

Wang Liu stood up and quickly grabbed the fan from Xiaolian's hand, "Go to useless things."

Xiao Lian's name is Lian Rong, and he replaced his father as a yamen runner in the Ministry of Justice. He was thin and looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, but in fact he was already twenty years old. He squatted opposite Zhou Xian, hesitated for a moment, and took out the one tael of silver he had just given him. Among the three, he had the least share. "Sir, I don't want this silver, but can you ask you something?"

Zhou Xian sat up, "You ask?"

Lian Rong hesitated, as if he was brewing a sentence. "Sir, everyone outside is rumoring that the thief is about to hit the capital. You are an adult and know a lot. Do you think they can hit the city?"

At this time, Zhao San also came back. Hearing Lian Rong's question, he immediately became concerned.

Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Is it related to you? Li Zicheng can't fight in, you are a yamen runner. When he fights in, don't you continue to be a yamen runner of the Ministry of Justice? Li Zicheng boasted of his benevolence and righteousness. He would not make things difficult for you poor people. What should be really worried about are the princes and ministers in the city."

Zhao San smiled and said, "What the lord said is that we little people should eat and drink, no matter how upside down he is outside! What does it have to do with us?"

Lian Rong blushed, "What you said is wrong. Li Zicheng is a thief, and we should help the court resist him. There are Beijing camps, imperial guards, and five-city military commanders in the capital, so we can definitely stop the thieves."

Zhao San patted Lian Rong on the back of the head, "Silly. Go and guard it! Even the hair is not full of stupid things, and you still want to carry a knife to become a general! Did you see that you are a real general like this? You have a long-standing knowledge and talent. If you sneeze, God will shake three times. You hairy child, what do you know!"

Lian Rong wanted to argue, but didn't know how to refute it. "I, you..., this..."

Zhou Xian lay back on the bamboo, "Lian Rong, if everyone was like you, this capital might be able to defend it. But the princes and ministers who were truly in power in the city might have already begun to take refuge in the new masters. What Zhao San said was basically the true thoughts of most people. It is hard for you to expect them to sacrifice their lives to defend the city. I tell you that once Juyongguan and Baoding are destroyed, the city will not be able to defend it. You can make some preparations early!"

The three of them stood there in a daze and didn't say anything for a moment. Wang Liu suddenly came to his senses, "No! Sir. Since you think this city cannot be kept, why are you not worried at all!"

Zhou Xian suddenly fell silent. He stood up quietly and kicked over the table. The wine can fell, crackling, and the wine mixed with vegetables and meat splashed all over the ground. "I'm fucked and I'm worried that it's useless? Qian didn't dare to take responsibility, and guarded the city without any preparation. A group of idiots, who relied on their mouths to discuss and discuss, did not make any decisions, were they all here to die?"

The three of them suddenly knelt down in panic. Zhou Xian turned his head, and Wang Chengen and several Jinyiwei were standing behind him.

Wang Chengen reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "Forget it, come to the palace with our family! The emperor wants to see you."

Zhou Xian smiled dismally, "Juyongguan or Baoding, where was the rebel army attacked?"

Juyongguan, the commander's mansion.

Tang Tong sat in the position of commander and glared at the several generals kneeling down. "Tang Yi, Wang Xing, are you two going to take the lead in rebellion?" Tang Yi is his eldest son, and Wang Xing is his general.

Wang Xing stubbornly said, "Master, I did this, no wonder the Major General. If you want to blame me, blame me, they all listen to me."

"Okay, okay." Tang Tong called out three times. "What are you going to do now? If I don't follow your request, would you kill me directly?"

Wang Xing's face changed and he hurriedly kowtowed, "I don't dare. The general treats me as much as a mountain. I would rather die than hurt the general. I just do this to save the general."

Tang Tong smiled angrily and said, "Save me, lead troops to surround the general's mansion, can you save me like this? You are really worthy of being my good generals and good sons. Don't you want to confess your love? Okay, let me prick up my ears and listen carefully."

Wang Xing said: "Master, it has been almost twenty days since the rebel army arrived at the city. In these twenty days, the enemy troops gathered more and more, but did the court send reinforcements, and once a grain of food was transported? Before the main army of the rebel army arrived, we could still hold on. But now, look at the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the pass, and there were dozens of artillery pieces, and the attacks were stepping up again and again. Just one day yesterday, nearly two thousand brothers were killed in battle, and even countless injured people were countless. If this lasted for a few more days, how many living people would be left in the pass? Master, they are all old brothers who have followed you for many years!"

Tang Tong frowned and said silently.

Wang Xing continued: "If I can really defend myself, my brothers will be willing to die. But the current situation is that even if we fight for the best, we can't defend it! The main force of the Breaking Army may only be able to pass through Juyong Pass, but the Great Wall is broken. As long as they find some locals, they can find places where they can pass through dozens of damage. Zu Crazy is strong, but after all, he only has three thousand cavalry in his hands. He protected us after the pass, but running back and forth will one day exhaust his horsepower. At that time, the Breaking Army will appear in Guannan, and the morale of the army within the pass is already in chaos. Isn't it easy to break the city? We have killed so many Breaking thieves, what will they do with us after breaking the pass?"

Tang Tong's tone was no longer so full, "Are you betraying the court?"
