All I saw were scattered torches in the streets and alleys.
With the faint light of the torch, Hou Jiuming could clearly see the two sides fighting.
"It's incredible!" He never expected that it was not the Qianyu Kingdom that broke into the city, but the group of refugees.
However, you can understand it if you think about it.
The prince and general Xiang Ning have the guts!
Rather than sit back and wait for death, it's better to go for it.
Anyway, just sitting around waiting for death is still death, and failing is also death. Instead of doing this, it is better to die vigorously, which is better than dying of starvation.
Moreover, if you are lucky enough to succeed, you will make a lot of money.
In the current situation, it is obvious that the City Lord's Mansion is completely at a disadvantage.
The city has been destroyed and there are no weapons, so what can we use to fight against it?
Failure is just a matter of sooner or later.
After figuring out what was going on, Hou Jiuming didn't stay on the roof too long, and floated down from the roof with a slight jump.
"What a light kung fu!" Looking at Hou Jiuming floating down like fallen leaves, Shi Zhongquan secretly praised it in his heart.
Although I don't know how strong my savior is, I can tell from this handsome light skill that he is definitely far superior to himself.
"Refugees from outside the city are coming in!" After landing, Hou Jiuming told Shi Zhongquan about the situation outside.
After all, this person is from the imperial court, so he must be more concerned about this matter.
"What, it's not Qianyu Country, it's those refugees?"
"Yes!"
"How can it be?"
Like Hong Shutang, Shi Zhongquan couldn't believe that the heavily guarded Jianshi City was actually defeated by a group of unarmed refugees.
"It's really those refugees!"
To be honest, he didn't believe it either, but the facts were right in front of him, which made people have to believe it.
…………
The chaos lasted until noon. By the time everything was over, the owner of Solid Rock City had changed.
However, not long after the battle ended, gongs, drums and warnings sounded over and over again in the city.
"Martial law during wartime. All residents in the city are not allowed to go out. Anyone who violates the rules will be shot without mercy..."
"Martial law during wartime. All residents in the city are not allowed to go out. Anyone who violates the rules will be shot without mercy..."
Warnings sounded throughout Solid Rock City, causing those who were about to go out to check the situation to immediately stop and return home.
They were not allowed to go out, and there were no merchants to do business.
The entire Solid Rock City suddenly became quiet except for the occasional footsteps of patrolling soldiers.
But at midnight the next night, loud shouts of murder suddenly rang out from the east of the city.
The sound did not last long and soon became quiet again.
But on the third night, the cry of killing rang out again from the north of the city.
The duration is the same as the next night.
On the fourth day, just when everyone was wondering whether it would be the same as the previous two days, Solid Rock City became strangely quiet.
At dawn, many people suddenly discovered that the footsteps of the soldiers who used to patrol had not come.
I thought there was something delayed, but until noon, I didn't hear the patrol footsteps.
Some brave people immediately climbed up to the roof to take a peek and found that the entire city streets were completely silent. Not even a single person could be seen, let alone the patrolling soldiers.
"What's the situation? Why is there no one there, where are the refugees who are attacking the city?"
"Has he already left?"
"Why so quiet?"
Time continued to pass, until night, as the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased.
People discovered that those refugees really disappeared.
"The refugee army has really left..."
"It should be, otherwise, I wouldn't have been wandering around for so long without seeing anyone."
"The war is over..."
"Very good……"
The residents in the city openly vented the fear caused by the war in the past few days, which lasted until midnight.
Regarding all this, Hou Jiuming shook his head, sighed and turned back to his residence.
These people are happy now, but they will definitely not be happy in a few days.
Because without the suppression of the court and the deterrence of the law, people's desires will be infinitely magnified.
By then, I'm afraid it won't be as good as when the refugees broke through the city.
At least after those refugees came in, Qiu did nothing wrong and did not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
After Shi Zhongquan learned about this, he immediately said goodbye, but he also knew the consequences.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have left in such a hurry. After all, my injury hasn't healed yet.
Not only Shi Zhongquan, but also some far-sighted people in the city escaped from Solid Stone City overnight.
By the next morning, many people discovered that there were suddenly fewer people in the city.
Some stores even have signs for sale.
There are no stalls that were common in the past.
Originally, this kind of thing would definitely attract people's attention.
But no one cared about this matter when they discovered the situation in the City Lord's Mansion, the Xiao family and the Li family.
At noon, the Sihai Tea House was overcrowded, and the guests were all gathered together, all discussing the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion and the other two families with great interest.
"These refugees are really cruel and cruel. They are so ungrateful to kill such a good person like the city lord."
"Who says it's not the case? In order to provide disaster relief, the city lord not only took out his own food, but also convened major families and residents in the city to raise food. He was very worried about disaster relief.
But now, those refugees are not only ungrateful, but also broke through the city gate, and after entering, they directly killed the city lord's family and hung their heads on the gate of the city lord's mansion. It is really hateful."
"The same is true for the Li family and the Xiao family. Except for a few people, all of them were hung at the door. That situation is not too miserable. Thinking about it makes people angry."
"My guess is that the Xiao family and Li family were killed on the second and third nights after the city was broken. On those two nights, there were shouts of killing. It was definitely an attack on the Li family and Xiao family."
"Probably!"
"Strange, why didn't they attack on the day they entered the city, but on the second and third days?"
"This is not simple. If we don't attack that day, we are afraid of arousing everyone's common hatred. If we attack later, the entire city will be under control, and it will be impossible to resist. Naturally, there is no need to worry."
"There is a master behind these refugees!"
"Who says otherwise? From attacking the city, to taking control of the entire city, to looting the two major families and the city lord's palace, to then quietly abandoning the city and escaping, it would be strange if there was no expert guidance."
"Why do you think they gave up the city they got? Isn't it good to occupy the city by yourself and do whatever they want?"
"You know what the heck!" As soon as he said these words, he was despised by others, "Do you think the city is so easy to occupy? Such a big city,
It is still an important border city. How could the imperial court give up so easily? I am afraid that after getting the news, they will immediately send troops to suppress it. With the strength of those refugees,
It's okay to fight in a surprise battle, but facing Master Wang head-on will definitely result in a disastrous defeat. Therefore, they must have planned it from the beginning.
Attack the city, grab enough supplies, and then leave. Maybe now they have been broken into pieces and fled to other places to live a cool life." This chapter has been completed!
