I don’t know how long it took, but when the sound of ping-pong was heard, it was the sound of the swords in their hands falling to the ground, or the sound of the cups in their hands falling to the ground.
Pei Hu's eyes were blank, and he staggered and almost fell from his seat. He muttered that he couldn't believe what he heard: "What did you say? The enemy... the enemy army broke... broke into the city?"
"This...how is this possible?"
"Yes, we...our reinforcements are almost here. Those people, they...how dare they!!"
"No, no, no, it's absolutely impossible. This is absolutely impossible. They had already withdrawn their troops. How could it be..."
The faces of the group of people were ashen, and their eyes were full of shock and fear.
"Why, didn't you say you wanted to kill us earlier?"
"That's right, you were all boasting just now, as if I had the best attitude in the world, what's the matter? Now you are all mute?"
Several spies taunted them in time.
"Didn't someone just tell us not to panic when something happens? It's funny, it's funny, it's really funny."
"Haha, when it comes to others, you are fair and clear. When it's your turn, you are submissive and cowardly like a dog."
The spies vented their inner dissatisfaction to their heart's content. They risked their lives to obtain information for them, but what they got in exchange was the profligacy and ruthless ridicule of these people like fools.
How could they not be angry when they worked hard and the superiors did nothing but humiliated them? Anyway, their army had already broken through the city and they would die sooner or later. It would be better to vent their anger now and at least die more happily.
Faced with the abuse and ridicule of the spies, the crowd was not as arrogant and domineering as usual, and there was not even a single person in the crowd who talked back.
"Sir, what should we do? What should we do now?"
"Yes, two hundred thousand troops have entered the city, so we are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Let's... let's find a way to escape."
"Yes, young master, if you run away now, you may not be able to come back."
Faced with this urging, Pei Hu lost his previous calmness and was quite panicked for a moment: "But if we go...if we go, what about the people in the city? Then...what about the Pei family members?"
"Sir, if we keep the green hills here, we won't be afraid of running out of firewood. Let's withdraw."
"Yes, sir, how can those people's lives be more valuable than yours? Get out."
They urged them anxiously, but completely forgot about the oath and promise they made to the people in the city during the day.
In their eyes, human life is actually just a weed. Use it when you need it and throw it away when you don't.
"Okay, run, run!"
Pei Hu came back to his senses and responded with a few words.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people got into a mess and fled to the attic in great embarrassment.
The spies didn't take a step away, they just looked at each other.
"This is our new head of the family, hahahaha!"
"It's amazing. It turns out he's just a idiot."
"Look at the way they run away, do they look like dogs?"
The spies laughed, but the senior officials fled desperately. The scene was full of irony.
"If the Pei family wants to escape, the generals will seal any exit for me!"
When a group of people just came out of the attic, Ming Yu's army had already reached the north of the city. Looking at the Pei family who fled in panic, the leading vanguard general gave a fierce shout.
Immediately, the army behind them quickly guarded the north gate of the city.
Pei Hu had just escaped halfway when he had to brake quickly, causing the people behind him to rear-end him. It was so embarrassing that it was terrible to watch.
However, Pei Hu could no longer care so much and still instinctively returned to the city, not wanting to be caught.
And the vanguard general waved his hand, and the soldiers surrounding the north of the city immediately narrowed the encirclement, almost blocking the opening in the city wall, leaving no way out.
Afterwards, the crowd dispersed, and a few people slowly walked out from behind...
