"No one will willingly hand over money to the court. If they do, Lingzhou City will be in chaos!" Qin Yu's voice was trembling.
Now, he was really afraid that Lu Yu would make such a decision.
Lu Yu waved his hand: "You go and prepare first. I am not asking you to do it today. Everything is waiting for my order."
Qin Yu left the Lingzhou government office in confusion.
In the next few days, Lingzhou City was constantly attacked by rebels from outside, but it remained unmoving. However, the spiritual stones used to maintain the sword array outside were rapidly depleted!
Lu Yu had arranged this amazing sword formation, but the normal consumption of this sword formation was also quite huge.
Especially when someone is attacking the city, the speed at which spiritual stones are consumed is five to six times the normal rate.
This kind of consumption is beyond the reach of even the spirit stone cannon.
Lingzhou Prefecture is not a large and wealthy prefecture, and its inventory is usually just for daily expenses.
Since Lingzhou Prefecture was besieged, more than 70% of the entire Lingzhou Prefecture's expenses have been invested in war consumption. However, for the sword formation, even the Lingzhou government treasury cannot support this kind of consumption.
In order to maintain the sword formation, Lu Yu even used the treasury silver in the "Taipingcang"!
Taipingcang was under the jurisdiction of the imperial household department, and local and state governments had no right to use it.
This is a daily reserve, used to supply the daily consumption of the army stationed near Lingzhou Prefecture, and will only be used for disaster relief after a major disaster.
And if you want to use the Taipingcang, you need at least a warrant from the Lord of Skyfire.
As a shepherd of Lingzhou, Lu Yu violated the rules by using the things in the Taiping warehouse without authorization. If he were in the outside world, he would probably be impeached by the censor.
But here, Lu Yu didn't care.
Let’s not talk about the heavy siege by the enemy outside. This place itself is a dreamland. No matter what he does, he will not be traced to his head in the end.
"Sir, the manager of Taipingcang reported that all eight warehouses of Taipingcang are in critical condition, and I'm afraid they won't be able to survive for a few more days." Qin Yu hurried over and said.
Without the support of these spiritual stones, no matter how mysteriously the sword array is arranged, it will not be able to exert its full strength.
Lu Yu had no expression on his face and said calmly: "It's almost time."
Qin Yu still didn't understand what Lu Yu's arrangement was.
Until two days later.
In front of the gate of Lingzhou City, suddenly a large army stood up and the rebels were dispatched.
Seeing the rebels coming out, the Lingzhou garrison immediately went on alert and prepared to defend with all its strength.
Then there will be a sword formation outside for protection, but you still need to be vigilant and defensive.
Unexpectedly, the rebels' drums and drums were beating, but they did not advance, but stayed where they were.
Among the rebels, more than a dozen people were pushed out.
These people were tied to wooden stakes with iron chains. They had marks of being whipped all over their bodies. They were scarred and dying.
"Everyone in Lingzhou City, listen to me!"
A general walked out from among the rebels and shouted loudly.
This loud shout echoed throughout the sky, and in an instant everyone in Lingzhou City heard this roar.
Many people swept their spiritual consciousness outside.
When they saw the bloody people, they all gasped.
These people had no idea how much torture they had suffered, and the bones inside could clearly be seen in many of the wounds on their bodies.
Everyone tied up on it had their eyes brutally poked out, leaving only two dark blood holes bleeding out.
