The city lord's eyes flashed and he sneered: "They want to leave the city gate, obviously to give Qin Wenyuan a chance to escape. As our number one enemy in Nanzhao, Qin Wenyuan, if he lets Qin Wenyuan go, he will be the sinner of our Nanzhao!"

"He is a traitor to me, Nanzhao!"

"So, I will never let them go!"

"Xiaguan will explain the truth to them clearly. If there are still people who want to leave the city, then Xianguan can only shed tears and shed swords for Nanzhao and for the sake of his family and country!"

The Soul Controller smiled and said, "Isn't that enough?"

"Isn't it simple?"

The city lord smiled and nodded: "It is indeed very simple."

"okay."

The corners of Yuhunshi's mouth raised slightly and he said: "Then I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, you must persist to the end of the day!"

"After one day, you don't have to worry about anything."

"after one day……"

With a profound smile, he said: "Everything will end!"

The Soul Controller, wearing a black robe and a hood, strode out of the city lord's mansion.

After leaving the city lord's palace, he directly climbed on the horse, rode a fast horse, and led the soul envoys to gallop on the street.

They bypassed the crowds and made several turns before stopping in front of an ordinary-looking mansion.

Yuhunshi turned over and dismounted and said: "You guys wait for me here."

After saying that, he went directly into this seemingly ordinary mansion.

Passing through the front yard, you arrive at a garden.

This garden is very large, and there is an artificial lake in the garden.

At this time, there were several red carps swimming in the lake, and a man wearing a straw hat was sitting there holding a fishing rod.

When the Yuhun envoy saw this person, he walked quickly, got behind him, and bowed respectfully: "Beichen."

The man wearing the hat didn't even raise his eyelids. He looked at the carp in the lake calmly and said calmly: "Is it solved?"

The Soul Controller nodded hurriedly: "It's been solved."

"The city lord of Taihe City has obviously been affected by those rumors. His mentality is very unstable. He also wants to test us."

"But his method was too clumsy, and his subordinates could see through it at a glance."

"Afterwards, my subordinates fooled him a few words and calmed him down."

"Next, he will delay us for one day at all costs. During this day, he promises not to let any people leave."

Beichen nodded slightly, the coir raincoat hat blocked the sunlight, hiding his face in the shadows.

He looked at the carp lingering near the hook in the lake, his hands motionless and very steady.

"Then don't worry about them for now."

"Qin Wenyuan deliberately spread these messages in order to let the people break open the city gate. Once the people leave, there are so many people, and he can hide them perfectly, making it difficult for us to find him again."

"So, as long as we guard the city gate tightly and don't give those people a chance, he won't be able to escape."

The Soul Controller frowned and said: "When I came back, I found that the people outside were very excited and the commotion was quite big. Can the city lord hold on?"

"Do not worry."

Beichen said calmly: "No matter what, this Taihe City is also his territory. He has ruled these people for many years, and it is impossible for him to do so without any means."

"He knows better than us how to deal with these people."

"As long as Qin Wenyuan has no other means, these people will not be able to achieve anything."

The Soul Controller nodded thoughtfully.

He said: "Qin Wenyuan...does he have any other means?"

Beichen laughed: "Who knows."

"Although he is completely under threat from us now, he can stir up such a storm and almost miss our important event. Who knows if he has other means?"

"But no matter whether he has any other means, we still have to do what we do!"

"Now, we are competing with him to see who is faster."

"Even if he has other means, as long as he is later than us, the result will not change."

At this time, the fishing rod suddenly started to move.

The fishing line suddenly stretched straight.

Beichen directly picked up the fishing rod.

In an instant, a red carp was caught.

Beichen put away the fishing rod, threw the carp into the fish basket, and smiled: "It seems that this time, luck may be more in our favor."

He said: "How long will it take for the dam to collapse?"

The Soul Controller said: "No more than twelve hours at most."

Beichen nodded slightly, stood up, threw the fish basket to the Soul Controller, and said, "Tell the kitchen to stew it."

"After eating the fish, let's leave. This Taihe City will live in the water forever like the fish in these lakes."

After saying that, he walked out.

A strand of white hair slowly fluttered in the wind from under his bamboo hat.

Inn, inside the room.

There was a knock on Qin Wenyuan's door.

Qin Wenyuan opened the door and saw Tianji standing outside.

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "Is there any new news?"

Tianji nodded directly.

He turned sideways and let Tianji walk in.

This time, Qin Wenyuan and Tianji were not as cautious as before.

Even if they found someone opening the door a crack and looking at them curiously, they didn't care.

Qin Wenyuan had already guessed that Beichen was going to massacre the city directly.

So in this case, Beichen would definitely find a way to take people away early, and then massacre the city in a way that could absolutely wipe out Taihe City.

Therefore, at this time, no one pays attention to them anymore.

They don't need to worry about anything anymore.

No one cares about this little fuss over details anymore.

Tianji entered the room and said directly: "The city lord of Taihe City got angry and ordered people to guard the city gate with swords."

"And he also directly issued a notice saying that if we were hiding in Taihe City, we would be the biggest and most dangerous enemy to Nanzhao. And now, once the door is opened, we will take the opportunity to escape. Once we escape, we will

It will be Nanzhao’s biggest crisis!”

"So, the city gate must not be opened now, and anyone who wants to open the city gate will now be considered our accomplice and will be killed directly!"

"Therefore, those people were frightened. Although they gathered in front of the city gate, no one dared to rush into the city lord's palace at this time."

"Moreover, the City Lord's Mansion has accumulated prestige for many years and has a great power to intimidate the people. Therefore, after these words were spoken in the City Lord's Mansion, the people did not dare to disobey at all."

She looked at Qin Wenyuan and said solemnly: "The city gate cannot be broken through."

Hearing this, Sishe looked at Qin Wenyuan nervously.

Qin Wenyuan, however, was still shaking the teacup slowly. He glanced at the tea leaves flipping up and down in the teacup and took a sip.

Then he said calmly: "It's really cruel."

"In order to prevent the people from leaving, you can even say such things."

"Directly asking the people to leave the city is tantamount to colluding with us and tantamount to treason."

"They are so shameless. They are really good at substituting ideas and substituting concepts."

Tianji said: "Whether they are shameless or not, it will be difficult for us to leave."

Si She said: "Master, what should we do?"

Qin Wenyuan gently put down the tea cup and made a crisp sound.

He looked at the two people and said: "The main reason why they can scare the people and prevent them from leaving is that they have reasons for the people to be afraid."

"However, this is not the main reason. The main reason... is that now the people have only heard the rumors, but they have not yet truly felt the danger of massacre."

"So, they are still not sure whether the rumor will actually come true."

"If the rumors come true, then even if the people from the City Lord's Mansion block the city gate, they will break it open!"
