Seeing the people gratefully receiving the food and leaving the tunnel, Li Siwen felt a little wilted. He had thought that at least half of the people would have the same idea as him. The foreign enemies were ahead and they would not give up an inch of land and would die in the city...
But the fact is that almost all the people took the food and left, leaving only eight people, including him and Li Mu. The remaining six people, one was his cook, one was Bai Gensheng, and four were bachelors.
One person had his whole family killed by the Turks a few years ago, and he stayed here out of revenge.
"You bastard, are you leaving? If you don't leave, you won't have me as your father!"
At the entrance of the secret passage, Bai Nao'er grabbed Bai Gensheng's hand and scolded him. Bai Gensheng broke away and said: "Dad, I'm so old, I can't listen to you in everything. I don't want to be like you.
Man, this time I have decided on my own. You should leave quickly. My brother-in-law will not give you money. If you return to Mayi and resume your old business, or go to Chang'an to find your sister, you will be able to deal with anything in the rest of your life. My son, I will definitely not leave.
Already."
Bai Nao'er cried and said: "Your sister looks down on me, and you look down on me. How can I, the father, be sorry for you? All of them are traitors. Son, even if you don't care about me, you don't care about your mother either."
What? Do you think about your mother?"
"My child has thought about it." Bai Gensheng looked at his mother and said, "Mom, my child doesn't want to be a commoner all his life, nor does he want to rely on the protection of his brother-in-law to be a petty official. My child wants to gain a future on his own. This time
If I can survive, I will have done a great job in defending the city, and I will definitely be able to get a small official to do it. Don’t worry, you two, the child will definitely survive!"
"Those are Turks. How can you, a young man like you, survive..."
"Dad, it's almost time. The Turks will enter the city later. You won't be able to leave even if you want to!" Bai Gensheng held back his tears, pushed Bai Nao'er, pushed him into the secret passage, and raised his hand to grab the iron ring.
, twist counterclockwise, and the door of the secret passage is closed.
Coming out of the cellar, Bai Gensheng wiped away his tears and stood silently next to Li Mu. Li Mu looked at him and said, "I didn't expect you to be so ambitious."
Bai Gensheng looked up at him and said, "I don't think you would do anything to risk death. Although I don't know what you think, I should be fine following you."
Li Mu laughed dumbly. He didn't know much about Bai Gensheng before, but after getting to know him these days, he found that this kid was a bit naive, but he knew what he was doing and he was a talent. Li Mu leaned close to Bai Gensheng's ear and whispered.
: "If something goes wrong later, look at my eyes and knock the county magistrate unconscious."
"Ah?" Bai Gensheng was stunned and said, "Why do you want to knock out the county magistrate?"
"Stupid, of course you're running away! You're sick, why are you staying here even though you know you're going to die?"
Bai Gensheng was stunned. Li Mu's image collapsed in his heart. He had always thought that Li Mu had a strange plot, but he didn't expect it to be such a strange plot. For a moment, he felt complicated and speechless.
On the other side, Li Siwen was cheering others up: "It warms my heart that you can accompany me in my generosity for justice! There is no hope of repayment in this life, but in the next life, I will be rewarded generously. I..."
Li Mu interrupted his sensationalism and said: "What about the afterlife? This life is not over yet. Come with me, let's find a place to hide!"
"Hide?" Li Siwen frowned: "I'm about to fight to the death with the Turks, why should I hide? I won't hide!"
"There is a saying in the art of war that a perfect combination can lead to a surprise victory. Now that we are weak, fighting head-on is like seeking death. Since we are staying, we have to make some moves. Listen to me, even if we can't win, we can still defeat the Turks.
It hurts!" Li Mu added in his mind: "Maybe there will be some unexpected gains."
Li Mu was able to stay because he was really here for the 'windfall', otherwise he would have knocked Li Siwen unconscious and ran away with the people. This windfall would naturally be the 'Jade Seal of the Kingdom'. If Jingyi could become a princess
He found the Imperial Seal with his own hands and found a way to get it. Even if Li Shimin cheated and refused to acknowledge his father's notice and refused to grant him a title, a reward would still be indispensable. With this contribution, he would be able to gain a foothold in Chang'an.
Assure.
At this moment, Li Siwen just wanted to die for the city. Hearing Li Mu say that he could make the Turks feel pain, he thought, if he could cause harm to the Turks, he would be able to leave a strong warrior in the history of the future.
He immediately nodded in agreement, and all eight people followed Li Mu's orders.
Li Mu first took people to the shop at the head of Nan Street West and moved all the wine out. Everyone carried two jars on their backs. Li Siwen was confused and asked: "Why did you ask us to move the wine? Do you want to be drunk?"
Dead ghost?"
"Fart!" After revealing that Li Siwen was born in the twelfth lunar month, Li Mu's respect for Li Siwen plummeted, and Li Siwen was not angry. Everyone was going to die anyway, so it didn't matter whether they respected him or not, and Li Mu was also hurt.
He felt sorry for staying.
"One of the characteristics of my wine is that it ignites immediately when exposed to fire." Li Mu pulled off a piece of cloth from his body, soaked it in the wine jar, took out the fire and twisted it a little, and the flames suddenly jumped up, scaring everyone back. Li Mu turned on the fire
He stepped on it and said: "Let's find a place to hide later and see where the Turks come from. Wherever they come from, we will set fire to that place and burn the city with fire. If we want to kill everyone, no one will survive!"
"
Li Siwen was startled by Li Mu's sinister expression and murmured: "Then wasn't this city destroyed?"
Li Mu glared and said: "I don't know how many secret passages there are. I have to worry about whether someone will sneak in when I sleep. What's the use of such a city? Besides, my life is about to be lost. You still can't let go of this or that. Otherwise, commit suicide now."
Come on, save yourself the trouble!"
Li Siwen hurriedly said: "That's what I said, what you said is correct, let's all order it and die together!"
Li Mu winked at Bai Gensheng, who understood, hid a stick in his sleeve, and followed Li Siwen closely.
After finding something to light the fire, Li Mu arranged a hiding place for each person. For each person, he gave Li Siwen a few instructions behind his back. In fact, it didn't matter. He just said that after lighting the fire, he ran to the secret passage.
, escape from the secret passage, don't really die in the city. After the explanation, Li Mu, Li Siwen and Bai Gensheng hid on the roof of the Yamen, which was originally the residence of Jieli Khan.
Princess Cheng also lived here, and Li Mu judged that the Imperial Seal was most likely hidden here. But it was definitely too late to find it, so Li Mu decided to wait here, waiting for Princess Yicheng to come to get it, and waiting for an opportunity to snatch it.
Everything was completely silent, there was no sound at all in the city, it was like a dead city.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from Xifang. Li Mu clenched his fists. The Turks have entered the city!
