Not long after, Ni, Jian and Chen rushed over. Looking at the expressions of the three of them, they obviously knew the news that the "thieves" were withdrawing from the city.

"I've seen the adults." The three of them saluted.

"Okay, okay, things are urgent, so don't care about these false gifts. Just sit down and see the tea." Xu Shirou waved her hands repeatedly and asked the three of them to sit down and said.

The three of them sat down according to their superiority, and the servant brought tea. Xu Shirou couldn't wait to say, "The three of them already know, yes, the thief army outside the city suddenly retreated today, and their behavior was very suspicious. I have sent someone to follow the group.

Thieves, if anything goes wrong, they will definitely come back to report it.”

"I think it's no big deal for the thieves outside the city to withdraw," Ni Yuangong cleared his throat and spoke first. "The thieves must have seen our reinforcements and even realized that there was no hope of breaking the city, so they had to withdraw their troops to harm other places.

It's no big deal, so don't panic, magistrate."

"What Lord Ni said is very reasonable." Seeing Xu Shirou looking at him, Jian Qinwen could only speak with a gritty bullet. He did not dare to offend Ni Yuangong, so he could only express his affirmation of Ni Yuangong's words first, so that Ni Yuangong would be happy to listen first.

Then he carefully expressed his opinion, "I also felt that the thief might feel that the loss of continuing to attack Nanyang was too great, so he could only give up Nanyang and turn to attack other places."

"Hey, yes, what Jian Qinwen said is reasonable." Ni Yuangong responded.

Xu Shirou was not sure, and her eyes turned to Chen Wuke who was sitting firmly beside her. The latter was the leader of the military officers in Nanyang City. She also personally led the army to fight with the "thief army" outside the city. I think she could fight the "thief army" outside the city.

'Have a deep understanding.

"Mr. Xu, Bei Zhi is wondering if Kaifeng has wiped out the rebel Li Zicheng, so that the officers and soldiers near Kaifeng can free up their hands to support me in Nanyang?" Chen Wuke said.

"It is not ruled out that there is such a possibility, but we have not received any news about this yet," Xu Shirou thought.

"By the way." Ni Yuangong seemed to have thought of something, and slapped the armrests on the chair and said, "Since the thief army outside the city has retreated, the Sichuan army outside the city is useless. Keeping them will waste a lot of money.

It’s better to send them away as soon as possible.”

"Isn't that good? Yesterday Lord Xu promised to provide them with food and supplies. Now he regrets it. Wouldn't he argue that Lord Xu is unrighteous?" Jian Qinwen said.

"What do you know?" Ni Yuangong said angrily, "'Your salary is your salary, the people are rich, the people are easy to abuse, and God is difficult to deceive. Taizu's words are earnest. We are the ones who eat the king's fortune and the matter of loyalty to the king.

, What you eat and use is all taken from the people. If we can use one point less, we can save the people's strength and make the people feel better. Do you don't understand such a simple and simple truth at all?"

"Mr. Xu, I think that it is difficult for the people to farm and live a hard life. I hope Mr. Xu can take back his life and let the Sichuan army outside the city leave as soon as possible. I will wait for millions of people in Nanyang to thank Lord Xu for his great kindness." Ni Yuangong got out of his seat

He stood up, walked to Xu Shirou, and actually bowed.

This worship brought the image of a loyal minister and martyr who served the country and the people, and made Xu Shirou more and more like a thief and chaotic minister who ignored the life and death of all faiths and was full of military force.

"Why is this Lord Ni? Please get up quickly." Xu Shirou was shocked, hurriedly got up, stepped forward and held him to pay homage to Ni Yuangong.

"Mr. Xu, I, Ni Yuangong, even if I kneel to death here for the sake of the people of Nanyang, what's the matter?" Ni Yuangong insisted.

"This..." Xu Shirou turned her eyes to Jian and Chen, but saw them sitting in their original position, looking at the nose, nose, and heart, and being indifferent to the scene in front of her.

Xu Shirou was slightly angry and said, "Forget it, forgot, Lord Ni can bow down to the people of Nanyang, how can I, Xu Shirou, be content with others? It's just a mere reputation, so what can I do if I don't want it? I come."

The old servant in Xu Shirou's house quickly appeared at the door.

"Send someone to tell Deng Yan, just say that since the bandit army has retreated, my Nanyang is no longer in danger of war. The Sichuan army he led should set off as soon as possible and leave my Nanyang, otherwise I will not blame me for not taking into account the previous situation and impeaching him."

"Should you obey the order." After the old servant took the order, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Seeing Xu Shirou surrender, Ni Yuangong sneered in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief. He was so anxious to drive away the Sichuan army outside the city, so there was naturally a reason. Tongzhi was responsible for the local salt, grain, catching and stealing, river defense, sea border, river engineering, water conservancy and cleaning military registration.

, pacifying the people and other affairs, and the Tongzong Jian Qinwen was also in charge of grain transportation, which was somewhat coincidental with Tongzhi. The treasury in Nanyang City was under the jurisdiction of Ni Yuangong.

Among them, if every grain of food transferred to the outside of the city is required to nodify him.

If the time is short, it would be okay to adjust it less. If you stay too long, the current situation of the empty treasury will be revealed to the world. Even though he is protected by Donglin people, he may not be able to save his official position, so he can only do so.

The Sichuan Army drove him away as soon as possible to hide his secret. After all, everything is for the sake of benefit.

After dealing with the thief army and the Sichuan army outside the city, the four of them obviously relaxed a little and chatted for a while. Seeing that the sun was already noon, Xu Shirou smiled and said, "It's noon, let's do it, let's go to the east of the city.

A small gathering in the Zuixian Tower can be regarded as celebrating our hardships together. What do you think?"

"Mr. Xu's words are exactly what I want," Ni Yuangong said, which made everyone laugh, and then several people took a step and were about to go out.

At this moment, a figure rushed from the city gate, and even in the downtown area, he did not stop at all, and rushed to the prefect's office.

After getting off the horse, the scout rushed to the yamen. Several yamen runners at the yamen wanted to stop him, but they didn't have time.

When he saw Xu Shirou and his party who were about to go out, the scout even shouted: "Sir, it's bad, it's bad."

Xu Shirou frowned slightly. He was a gentleman. He was born to be disliked by such a panicked person. He scolded: "When encountering major events, you must be calm and have the courage to keep your face unchanged.

What kind of decent thing about you being so panicked? What's wrong with it? Let's talk slowly."

"Yes, yes, yes, what lord taught me." The scout quickly admitted his mistake, thinking that he was worthy of being the prefect, and his self-cultivation skills were perfect, so he slowed down his speech, "Sir, the thief army outside the city has retreated thirty miles away

, set up a camp again, it seems that he is not going to leave."

"What?" The four people who had just discussed were shocked. Didn't the thiefs say that the thiefs were afraid of the heavy losses in attacking me, Nanyang, and escaped by themselves? Why didn't they leave halfway? Could it be that they still have a thief in Nanyang?

Chen Wuke reacted first, stepped forward and grabbed the scout's collar, lifted it up, and said, "Are you sure the thief retreated thirty miles away and set up camp and won't leave? Could it be that the thief is cautious by nature?

Are you going to leave tomorrow?"

"Hui, sir, there will be a village less than ten miles north. If the thief really wants to leave, it is better to occupy that village directly. Not only can the thief take advantage of the nature of the thief plunder food and grass, but you don't have to build a camp." The scout was frightened.

He jumped and said everything he knew was like pouring beans.

After confirming that the thief was just retreating, but did not give up Nanyang, Xu Ni and the others were stunned when they were struck by lightning. Jian Qinwen still had little ability to bear it. He waved his hand to send the scout away to prevent the prefect from being with him.

Lord Zhi's ugly behavior was promoted, so he slowly shouted.

"Sir, sir, sir~" Seeing Xu Shirou reacting, Jian Qinwen hurriedly said: "Sir, please call on the Sichuan Army to quickly help defend the city. It's too late."

"Yes, yes, we have the Sichuan Army." Xu Shirou woke up like a dream, looked at Ni Yuangong next to her and said angrily: "Ni Yuangong misled me."

This sentence is already the limit for Xu Shirou to criticize Ni Yuangong in person. After saying that, he ignored him and said repeatedly: "Where did everyone die?"
