The young man frowned and said, "In order to avoid being scolded, he wants us to die?"
The older man patted his shoulder and said: "Only when we fight against Yaoyuan Palace, the city lord will order the city to be abandoned. So, after the war starts, you must work hard to stay alive." The young man nodded with an unhappy look on his face.
Nodding, but there was a cold light in his eyes. At midnight, the originally quiet Xiangye City suddenly became noisy. Hearing the vague noise, Wu Mu, who was in the city lord's mansion with his eyes closed and meditative, opened his eyes, and then
Two guards outside the room called in, "What's going on outside?" The two guards looked at each other and hesitated: "That...that..." Seeing the hesitation of the two, Wu Mu frowned and said
: "If you have anything to say, just say it." Hearing this, the two guards confessed honestly: "City Lord, there are rumors outside that you insist on defending the city to prevent yourself from being scolded by the Lord of the Palace, and you have not considered them at all.
Life or death." After hearing this, Wu Mu stood up suddenly and said angrily: "Who said this?" Seeing the city lord's anger, the two guards quickly knelt down on the ground and replied: "City lord, we are not very good either.
It's clear, it seems to be coming from the guards. There are many people making trouble outside now, asking you to let them go."
Wu Mu said with a gloomy face: "Go and call Elder Mo Qian." Not long after, an old man hurried into the room. Wu Mu said in a deep voice: "Elder Mo, what's going on outside?"
Mo Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Those guards are making a lot of noise, and I can hardly control it anymore." Wu Mu wandered for a few steps in the room, then turned around and asked, "What do you think I should do?" Mo Qian said:
"If we suppress them, I'm afraid they will mutiny. In my opinion, the only solution for now is to abandon the city." Wu Mu said coldly: "Mutiny? If this spreads to the Pantheon, those old guys will definitely accuse me.
, saying that I can’t even suppress this subordinate. By then, how do you expect me to survive in the Pantheon?" Mo Qian said helplessly: "But... right now, there is no other choice except this road.
"Wu Mu thought for a moment and suddenly sneered: "Who said there is no other way? Come here." After hearing this, Mo Qian quickly walked to Wu Mu's side. After listening to Wu Mu's explanation, Mo Qian's expression changed.
He changed his mind and said, "This... City Lord, it's not appropriate to do this." Wu Mu waved his hand and said, "Okay, just do as I say."
Not long after, a small group of people, led by Mo Qian, set off from the city lord's mansion and quickly rushed towards the city wall. After half an hour passed, Wu Mu, surrounded by more than a dozen guards, came to the city wall with his hands behind his back. Looking at
For those guards with angry faces, Wu Mu cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, I know you are very scared, and I have heard a lot of rumors about me. Now that the Yaoyuan Palace army is approaching, I am as scared as you are.
.However, no matter how scared we are, we cannot retreat, because we are people of the righteous path. As a member of the righteous path, we have the responsibility and obligation to stick to it." At this point, he looked around at everyone and continued.
He said: "Think about it, if all the people in the righteous path retreat like you, then sooner or later we will be exterminated by Yaoyuan Palace." After saying this, he straightened his face and said in a deep voice: "Elder Mo." Accompanying his words.
When he got down, he saw Mo Qian walking over with three men in his arms.
