Liu Ruyu volunteered to help Lao Xu push the cart behind him, and the two of them arrived near the main entrance together.

Zhao Ce had fought here for a while before closing the city gate.

Now the defenders here are also on strict alert, and patrol people are walking back and forth on the city tower.

After arriving nearby, I saw that many people around me also walked here with their own firewood.

Originally, many people in the city were quite verbal about the prefect's current collection of necessities in their homes.

But when they saw the servants of the Zhao Ce family coming with a truck full of firewood, many people rested.

Liu Ruyu did not dislike him at all. He helped Lao Xu put down the firewood. After reporting to the registered official on the side, he pulled the man who also came to deliver the firewood to a simple chat.

Everyone was very curious. Now the government collects firewood at this time, just to do what it is.

"Is it going to burn, throw it down from the city tower, and burn all the thieves to death?"

An aunt guessed boldly.

Another male servant said, "I guess it's not. I heard that the rebels would use the ladders to climb the city walls. The firewood probably wanted to heat up the city walls so that these people who used the ladders could not start when they climbed up."

It is reasonable and well-founded, and it is a military enthusiast at first glance.

Liu Ruyu squatted on the ground, nodded and said, "What he said is quite right."

"But can this city wall be partially heated? Otherwise, it would seem difficult to heat the outer city wall only?"

"If not, this firewood might be used to burn something else?"

Liu Ruyu analyzed that the people around him who had firewood were all surrounded by him, listening to him competing.

He also became more and more excited as he spoke. Lao Xu stood beside him, silly, trying to call him back, but he didn't know how to speak.

The officers and soldiers on the side knew that he was helped by Zhao Ce’s family to deliver firewood, so it was difficult to drive him away.

Finally, Master Liu's mouth was dry and he felt that he was about to have lunch. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, patted his butt and stood up, and followed Lao Xu home.

Zhao Ce was busy all morning and trained with everyone, investigated the terrain and assigned work.

When I rode Xiao Huang home, I arrived at the door with Liu Ruyu.

Seeing Zhao Ce holding a spear in his hand and riding on a horse with a full spirit, Liu Ruyu immediately praised: "What a heroic and sassy man."

Zhao Ce smiled, threw the spear in his hand to Lao Xu, and then turned over and dismounted.

Lao Xu pulled the horse to the backyard, and Zhao Ce took Liu Ruyu into the door.

"Mr. Liu is out today?"

Liu Ruyu nodded and said, "I heard that you asked the officers and soldiers in the city to collect firewood, so I helped me send it over."

"By the way, I asked in the city."

"I heard that you have enlisted a lot of other things, and I seem to have guessed what you are going to do."

Zhao Ce glanced at him and said, "Mr. Liu is smart."

Liu Ruyu understood, and for the first time, he didn't say much, and followed Zhao Ce into the house with a smile.

While walking, he also told Zhao Ce about the news he had heard in the city.

The two of them entered the door, and Su Caier, who was waiting in the room, quickly walked towards Zhao Ce.

Seeing Zhao Ce coming back with sweat all over, her upper clothes were almost wet with sweat. She pulled Zhao Ce with distress and said, "My husband's clothes are sweaty, so she has to go in and change her clothes."

"I'll get water to wipe my husband, and then change into clean clothes, so it's more comfortable."

Zhao Ce said yes, said to Liu Ruyu, and was pulled in by Su Caier.

The room was quiet, and Liu Ruyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered: "It's really hot."

Then he carried his hands behind his back and went to the kitchen to fetch water to wash his face.

......

Due to the spread of those who are interested, rumors began to spread in the city.

Recently, the prefect collected supplies everywhere in the city, which made many people say a lot.

However, everyone's dissatisfaction quickly disappeared after hearing that the reinforcements from the court were about to arrive.

Everyone is waiting for the matter to end quickly and return to normal life as soon as possible.

Zhao Ce practiced with his own people every day, turning back and forth between the two city towers to observe the terrain.

The medicinal materials in the city pharmacy requisitioned a lot of medicinal materials. Lao Feng, who was outside the city, also received a letter from Zhao Ce, indicating the medicine he asked for help to find.

Lao Feng had no choice but to draw a group of people back and ask them to mobilize the rescued villagers to help find what Zhao Ce wanted.

Every day, Lao Feng asked someone to find medicine, which was hung back to the city by ropes.

On this day, Zhao Ce did not appear at the main gate, but took all the guards from the West City Gate to urgently make the weapons they needed.

Old Feng had just sent a letter saying that Tang Dabi had already received the news of reinforcements they had spread, and he thought he would really take action in the next two days.

After Zhao Ce learned the news, he asked his people to step up their efforts to make weapons.

The Xicheng Gate is generally not open, so there are basically no people walking here.

In addition to patrolers, the guards here have basically been arranged by Zhao Ce to make medicine bags these days.

Now Zhao Ce is present and produces it with them.

Until the curfew at night, the small door was secretly opened under the Xicheng Gate.

A group of soldiers selected by Zhao Ce himself continued to transport trucks of firewood to the outside at night.

These firewood branches are hidden in grass, trees or fallen leaves, and are simply buried.

Starting from the West City Gate to the main gate, after several days of smearing preparations, a lot of firewood was covered around.

After doing this, a group of soldiers pulled the cart and quietly returned to the city.

"Young Master Zhao, Chai Zhi is ready."

Zhao Ce, who was still on the city tower, nodded and said, "Thank you all for your hard work. Please step up the production of the remaining medicine bags."

Zhao Ce finished giving instructions on what happened next before riding Xiao Huang and walking on the moonlight home.

The group of defenders left behind were all guessing what Zhao Ce was going to do.

"Will these medicine packs be hurt when the war begins, if our people are injured, you can just decoct the medicine for us?"

Someone shook his head and said, "It doesn't look like it. I heard that this was collected by Mr. Zhao for the Lord of the Mansion. I have never heard of Mr. Zhao before that he knows medical skills."

"You have less knowledge, right? Mr. Zhao is not only good at medical skills, but also very good at medical skills!"

"He saved Mr. Cao's life when he was white in the previous session. Later, in order to thank him, Mr. Cao pulled two whole carts of gifts to thank him!"

"Not long ago, he rescued Master Cao, who was seriously injured, in the suburbs. I heard that Dr. Ge said that if he were an ordinary doctor, Master Cao would definitely die."

"Fortunately, he met Mr. Zhao at that time, so he was rescued!"

"So that's the case. These medicinal materials are probably for us to be injured and used by then."

Many people only realized that Zhao Ce was a man of literature and martial arts, and was also a doctor with excellent medical skills.

In this way, everyone has basically discussed the use of him asking the Mansion Master to collect medicinal materials in the city.
