"Master, we only have five hundred people in the city now. If we divide three hundred people out of the city, there will be less than two hundred people left in the city. If the thieves try to divert the tiger away from the mountain, Nanyang City will be in danger..."
In the governor's office in the city, a middle-aged man who looked like a master was sweating profusely. He was trying his best to dissuade the old man in front of him, trying to get him to take back the order to mobilize troops.
Judging from the age of this old man, he was probably around sixty years old. He was not wearing official uniforms, but ordinary clothes. His gray hair was casually pulled into a bun on his head. He looked like an ordinary old man, but his sharp eyes showed that he was an ordinary man.
There is an aura of calmness and self-importance.
"Trying the tiger to leave the mountain? Humph! The thieves must have come for money during this year's robbery! They used to eat meat and soup, but now they are so poor that they can't even eat. Now they finally find an opportunity.
How can Xiaoye Village satisfy their appetite? They will definitely come to Nanyang City!"
"ah!!!"
After hearing his master's words, the master's expression became even more frightened, and his originally sallow face turned pale!
"Then Master, how dare you..."
"Dare? Why don't I dare? In this world, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, so how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days? These thieves are entrenched in the Qinling Mountains, like bloodthirsty mosquitoes and flies, they will disperse when they are eliminated, and they will go back if they are allowed to go away! It is really hateful
! However, since they are so bold today and have set their sights on my piece of fat Nanyang, I will let them know that I Nanyang is not a piece of fat, but a piece of hard bone that can knock out their teeth!"
"Master! If you want to catch the thief, I will not stop you. But if something happens to the people in the city, the imperial officials in the court will not let you go! Even if you kill all the thieves, it will be difficult to offset you.
Unfavorable consequences of defending the city!"
"Hmph! A bunch of weaklings who only know how to gossip, I'm afraid of what they will do! Besides, the people in the city have their own squares and are restrained by the chief! I am going to take this city today and catch these thieves! For this reason
Qinling Mountains seek peace!"
"Can……"
Looking at his master's serious and stern face, the master opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him again. After all, taking the safety of a city as a bet is too big a gamble!
The thief has been causing trouble for a long time since he appeared. Hanzhong and Chang'an are helpless! Not to mention their Nanyang city. As long as he defends the city of Nanyang, he will ignore the thief as before! Even if he is attacked this time
There are one or two villages, and the chief probably has nothing to say, so why take such a dangerous move? Risking his own wealth and life?
However, when the master wanted to tell his master these words, he found that his master was already walking steadily towards the court. For a moment, he suppressed all the words in his stomach.
"Hey... no! This is too risky. If the city is lost, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this year! I have to think of a way! By the way, the city gate official reported today that several military troops have arrived in the city.
The people, hey, no! They are just a few people from the military department. Regardless of whether they are true or not, even if they are true, they did not come with soldiers! It is of no use at all!"
Knowing that his master's temperament was a bit more stubborn than that of the 17 or 18-year-old boy, the housekeeper had no choice but to slap his thigh hard and hurriedly chased him forward.
In the city, on the other side.
Liu Hongji and his new younger brother were watching with great interest the generals in the city deploying troops and generals. But from Liu's perspective, these generals were even stupider than pigs! If he had such subordinates,
On the first day, he had to be hung on a flagpole and paraded in the street.
What are these?
The streets were full of chaos. Some soldiers rushed out of their houses. They didn't even put on their helmets and armor. They were running out while putting on their armors in a panic!
There were a few of them who, after running a few steps, realized they had forgotten to bring their knives. They slapped their heads again, turned around and ran back in a hurry. As a result, they collided with the people behind them on the spot, causing chaos.
The street was even more chaotic!
"How the fuck do you train soldiers on a daily basis?" Liu Hongji took a breath as if he had toothache. Looking at the soldiers who rushed out in a mess without gathering, he felt his teeth hurt!
He felt that if such a ragtag group of people could win any battle! Then his surname, Old Liu, would be spelled backwards from now on!
"Boss, why don't we go to a brothel..."
Next to him, Boss Chen, who was officially demoted to Chen Xiaoer, asked an inappropriate question. As a result, the next second, Guang Guang's head was hit hard!
"Go, go, go, you! Didn't you see this in the city? You want to die on a woman's belly, don't you? Go back!"
"Well..." Poor Chen Xiaoer held his head with both hands and almost burst into tears! Didn't you say you wanted me to take you to a brothel? Why are you blaming me now?!
However, thinking this way, he couldn't resist Liu Hongji at all.
Maybe he will just be a bitch in this life!
When I was in Lingnan, I was beaten by the old master of Nande Mansion and the Feng family! Now that I was forcibly snatched away as my younger brother, I not only received the same beatings, but also received more and more beatings. Who can I ask to explain this?
?
Three hundred people went out to fight, which was a lot less, but not a lot. Even if the scene was chaotic, after a cup of tea, the streets would become quiet.
Taking advantage of the rare silence on the street, Liu Hongji took his followers for a walk and returned to the inn where they were staying.
The reason why he came back in such a hurry was because he saw that the ranks of officers and soldiers were loose, and he was afraid that if he lost the battle, the entire Nanyang City would be affected, so he hurried back to meet Xiao Han to make some preparations for a rainy day.
And to be honest, seeing the appearance of those soldiers on the street, Liu Hongji had no confidence in them at all!
It would be better if there were fewer thieves. They relied on their numerical advantage to show off their power and might scare people away. However, Old Liu vaguely heard someone say that there were quite a few thieves. If this group of officers and soldiers were defeated, they would not be able to scare them away.
It would be great fun to rush into the city and plunder it!
Thinking of this, Liu Hongji, who had just returned to the door of the inn, couldn't help but think of Xiao Han. Is this guy a broom star descending to earth? Why is it that wherever he goes, there will be troubles caused by soldiers and thieves?
It was like this in Guangzhou, it was like this when I went to Lingnan, and now I was about to return to Chang'an, but at this last moment, I encountered such bad luck again!
"No, I can't go out with this bastard anymore. It hasn't been smooth sailing for so many years!"
"Dong dong dong..."
While Liu Hongji was still thinking, Chen Xiaoer rushed up the steps and started knocking on the door.
When they left, they climbed over the wall from the backyard, but this time when they went back, they didn't bother to climb over the wall again. Instead, they thought of going back directly through the front door. However, he knocked on the door for a long time, but why didn't he hear anyone's answer?
