At the gate of the city, a row of heads hung there, with blood dripping from them, and the ground was spattered into small puddles of blood.
Li Guyuan stood on the walled city, looked at the refugees in front of him, and said: "Hubei City has already announced the closure of the city. You can come in if you want. Those heads will be your fate."
The refugees knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Sir, please be kind and let us in! We are really desperate and there is no other way."
"Who asked you to come here?"
"Our home was gone. A group of bandits suddenly rushed into our village and massacred us. We ran away all the way and finally made it to Hubei City. People say that Hubei City is a paradise on earth. We don't seek wealth, only power.
There is a way to survive."
The guard next to him couldn't bear it.
Before he could speak, Li Guyuan spoke: "If you sympathize with them, I will throw you down to accompany them."
Guard: "..."
Who is the general in charge here?
Forget it, he is Madam Lu's beloved disciple and a very respected one, so he can't afford to offend her.
The city gate has been closed tightly since half a month ago.
According to the news Master received, an army of 50,000 people is already approaching here. Judging by the time, it will be here in the next few days.
It was a bit suspicious that these refugees arrived so coincidentally and appeared at this time.
Regardless of whether they are real refugees or not, for the sake of the people of the entire Hubei City, they must not be allowed in.
"Master Li, we found many footprints in Fengwu Mountain." A man came over and reported to Li Guyuan.
"How many people are arranged at the foot of the mountain?"
"Five thousand people."
"Did you notice any suspicious people coming down the mountain?"
"No."
"That means they are still on the mountain." Li Guyuan touched his chin, "You can arrange for a team of people, not too many, just over a hundred people, to pretend to be nearby people and go to the mountain to explore the truth."
The refugees outside the city were still crying and begging. Li Guyuan ordered the guard not to open the city gate, and then followed the others to Fengwu Mountain.
"He was just a little person at first, but now he has climbed up to Mrs. Lu and started to seize the power of our adults. Who is he?" A soldier sighed.
"Okay, stop talking, let's just finish what Mrs. Lu ordered." The guard frowned.
"Sir, those refugees are so pitiful..."
"We also obey orders."
Several soldiers looked at each other and gave hints to each other. One of the soldiers sneaked away secretly.
Not long after the guard was changed, the guard discovered that several soldiers were missing. He asked what happened, and one of the soldiers said: "Mrs. Lu has other arrangements, and she has asked a few of them to go work."
The guard suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
It seemed that Mrs. Lu's spies were everywhere, and their dissatisfaction with Li Guyuan had been spread to her ears, so the gossiping subordinates were taken away.
The guard no longer dared to feel dissatisfied.
The entire Hubei City is raised by Mrs. Lu, and the life and death of Hubei City will also be in her hands. If you dare to go against her at this time, you will most likely be pushed out as a chicken to scare the monkeys.
County government office. Mu Siyu handed the letter in her hand to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate looked at it and was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat.
"Luyang City was captured by Zhou Pengfei!"
"Luyang City is not far from our place." Mu Siyu said, "This is the news three days ago, which means that their army is already nearby."
Li Guyuan walked in from the outside and said to Mu Siyu: "Master, someone found a large number of footprints in Fengwu Mountain. The disciple took people to see it in person. Judging from the shoe prints, they are not from us. They are most likely thieves.
team. I sent people to investigate further, but I didn’t dare to alert the snake, so I don’t know if I can find where those people are hiding.”
"Good job." Mu Siyu said, "When this disaster is over, Master will add chicken legs to you."
Li Guyuan chuckled: "Then the disciple is just waiting for the master's chicken drumsticks."
"Madam..." Ding Xiang walked in, "More refugees are coming outside. Those refugees actually swam in through the river in the outer city. They were discovered by our people and are now imprisoned."
"Interrogate and see if there are any scouts mixed in."
More and more refugees were blocking the city gate, and their cries made the people in the city unbearable. Of course, there were also people who knew the seriousness of this matter, and no matter how sympathetic they were, they did not dare to do anything.
At this time, they were extremely grateful that they were residents of Hubei City.
"Luyang City has been captured."
"real?"
"Is this still false? The army of thieves is already nearby. We can't hold back Madam."
The next day, a team from Hubeicheng discovered a team from the rebel army while searching the mountain, and a fight broke out between the two parties.
The opponent was defeated miserably and fled with the remaining soldiers.
Somewhere not far from Hubei City, a tall man stood in front of a map, looking at the defenses of the entire Hubei City.
"Sir, this map is no longer accurate."
"I heard that they have been strengthening their military defenses in the past two months. Have our people spread the news?"
"No. There used to be flying pigeons to carry messages, but now not a single bird is allowed to fly over Hubei City, let alone pigeons."
"Lu Yi's wife is really difficult to deal with. She should have been arrested long ago, and she wouldn't be as difficult to deal with as she is now."
"That adult is not allowed to touch her..."
"I really don't know what he was thinking, but he actually kept his hands on that woman many times." Zhou Pengfei was unhappy, "That woman is a scourge. As the saying goes, the general will not accept military orders abroad, so don't blame me for killing her first and then reporting her."
At night, several birds stealing food tried to fly over the city wall, but were shot to death by random arrows.
So the next morning, there were a few more heads at the city gate.
A few hours later, an army arrived outside the city.
"Go and inform Madam, those bastards have shown up."
Mu Siyu came after hearing the news and stood on the city wall, looking at the troops outside the city.
They were densely packed with human heads, and they were armed with various weapons and even large equipment such as trebuchets.
Looking at the people in front, they are all refugees in ragged clothes. Their eyes are full of despair, and some children are crying. The whole scene is like purgatory on earth.
"I heard that Mrs. Lu is a living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering and is praised by people all over the world. Since Mrs. Lu is so kind, I guess she won't just watch these refugees die under my sword!" Zhou Pengfei rode on the horse and looked across the way proudly.
of Mu Siyu.
"Shout!" The soldier stabbed the refugees with his sword. "Hurry up and shout, 'Help me, please give us a way to live, Mrs. Lu'. Remember, we have given you a chance. Whether you can survive or not depends on her choice."
Already."
"Mrs. Lu, as long as you open the city gate, these people will survive." Zhou Pengfei's eyes were full of evil.
