Ma Yuanming was shocked when he heard that the chief clerk actually meant the same thing.
I used to feel that this bookkeeper was a bit shrewd.
Why can't you see such an obvious conspiracy?
Are you still urging the county magistrate to go deep into danger?
"Marquis Ma Jun!"
"Although you have military orders, you can't just focus on military achievements!"
"Since those rebels are leaving, as the parent officials of Sanhe County, we naturally have to consider the people of the entire county."
"If we don't go, those rebels will attack the city. How can Marquis Ma Jun resist?"
"Marquis Ma Jun is so heroic that he will naturally leave a good name through the ages, but won't the people of our city be in trouble?"
When the chief clerk heard Ma Yuanming's words, he turned around and said calmly.
"this--"
Ma Yuanming was speechless for a moment.
He certainly has the idea of coexisting with Sanhe County.
But it ignores the fact that ordinary people cannot survive.
"Then please, sir, arrange for the people to evacuate as soon as possible. I'll wait and defend here!"
Ma Yuanming said to the county magistrate.
"Marquis Ma Jun, I'm waiting for the people to evacuate. What if those rebels bypass the city and attack us?"
"As for the people of Sanhe County, who have lived here for generations, where can they evacuate to?"
"If this city can't keep them safe, how can it be done elsewhere?"
"Marquis Ma Jun, what do you think?"
The chief clerk asked Ma Yuanming coldly.
"Ahem!"
"this……"
"This is important!"
"In this case, let me consider it carefully before making a decision!"
The county magistrate felt a little embarrassed when he saw Ma Yuanming arguing with the chief registrar.
Speaking from the county magistrate himself.
Naturally, he hoped to lose money and avoid disaster, so as to save the trouble of the rebel army, so that he could spend his days and nights in the future.
But now we have to attack Ma Yaner after all.
So it's not easy to directly refute Ma Yuanming's face.
So he used a delaying tactic.
"Secretary, please arrange for people to prepare the food and other supplies first. If you want to go there, you might as well make preparations in advance."
"Even if we don't go, we can still make preparations in advance."
The county magistrate ordered to the chief clerk.
Then he turned around and looked at Ma Yuanming with a smile on his face.
"Brother Ma, don't worry too much. I will definitely consider this matter carefully."
"In this case, let me think about it first. Tonight, I will be the host and specially invite Brother Ma and Miss Ma to my house for a chat. We will discuss it in detail then!"
"I was saved by your wife on the city wall before. I haven't had time to thank you yet. Brother Ma must not refuse!"
As the county magistrate spoke, he invited Ma Yuanming, who had a question mark, out.
By the time Ma Yuanming came to his senses, he was already on the horse walking back.
I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Since ancient times.
The two factions, the main war faction and the main peace faction, have always been incompatible with each other.
Those who are officials are mostly from the same side.
Hope that through various gentlemen's agreements and conditions, a short-term peace can be achieved.
But if it were that simple, the world would be a lot easier.
Everything depends on two mouths, so why do they need to be soldiers?
What a joke!
But in Daxia.
Those who lead troops only have the right to lead troops in war.
The logistical supplies of this army are firmly in the hands of the government.
Once the logistical supply is cut off, even great talents cannot be used.
Before.
Ma Yuanming often heard Chen Dadao complaining about these things, but he never expected that he, a little military prince, would also encounter them.
If the county magistrate really goes tomorrow.
To put it bluntly, if he really had to kill him, that would be fine.
Just in case.
What should those rebels do if they capture the county magistrate and take him under the city gate?
To fight or not to fight?
To open or not to open?
Ma Yuanming got a headache just thinking about it.
No matter what, we must prevent the county magistrate from committing suicide.
Since the county magistrate invited me tonight, it shows that there is still room for maneuver in this matter.
Even if I go on behalf of the county magistrate, I still have to keep the county magistrate here.
But what does the county grandpa mean by asking him to take Yan'er with him at night?
A life was saved on the city wall, is this possible?
Ma Yuanming was very confused.
But Yan'er will probably follow Zhang Bao out of the city in the evening. After this separation, we may never see each other again.
Think of this.
Ma Yuanming couldn't help feeling sad.
But he quickly calmed down his emotions, whipped the horse hard on the butt, and galloped towards the military camp.
Inside Baoyue Restaurant at this time.
Zhang Bao and the others have already packed a lot of things.
Get ready to leave.
Lao He can't get out now, so he can only hide in Baoyue Tower for the time being.
If Hu Dugu comes to find him, it would be nice to have someone to help him.
Even if the city is destroyed, Lao He can still save his life with his skills.
Zhang Bao then used a carriage to take everyone out of the city.
As for where to go.
Zhang Bao hasn't thought about it yet.
We can only leave this place first.
Everyone had no objections to Zhang Bao's choice. They simply packed up and left the city together.
Li Daniu drove a carriage with everyone.
Zhang Bao and Ma Yan'er each rode a horse.
Walking on the side of the carriage to guard.
Although Ma Yan'er also found it strange that the group of them didn't seem to be going out to do business, but more like leaving.
But Zhang Bao was mysterious and hesitant along the way, so it was hard to ask further questions.
After all, being with Zhang Bao is enough.
During this period, Ma Yan'er has been inside Baoyue Restaurant and has no idea what is going on outside.
Ma Yuanming has been here several times.
Neither of them told Ma Yaner the truth.
Therefore, Ma Yaner did not know about the crisis in the county government.
otherwise.
Ma Yaner would not follow Zhang Bao and the others so obediently.
It wasn't just Ma Yan'er who didn't know, most people in the entire county didn't know either.
If we really wanted to let everyone know about this situation.
Maybe it would have been chaotic a long time ago.
Inside the county government office at this time.
The county magistrate sat back at the wine table again.
He was sipping a small drink with a depressed look on his face.
Even the wine in my mouth tasted a lot duller.
"master!"
"This is the Baoyuelou wine I just bought for you."
"Try it!"
At this moment.
Zhao Changsheng walked in carrying a jar of wine.
"Um?"
"Isn't Baoyue Restaurant closed? Where did you buy it?"
The county magistrate was a little puzzled.
"hey-hey!"
"Knowing that I like your taste, I spent a lot of money to buy it from a wealthy businessman who had kept it without drinking it before."
As Zhao Changsheng spoke, he opened it and poured a pot for the county magistrate.
"Um!"
“Rich aroma of wine!”
“That’s what it tastes like!”
The county magistrate took a sip and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.
"It's hard for you to be so thoughtful."
"Come on, come on, sit down!"
"Sir, I'm feeling depressed. Come and have a drink with me!"
The county magistrate asked Zhao Changsheng for help, and Zhao Changsheng got what he wanted, so he quickly sat down with a smile on his face.
"Master, why are you worried about something lately?"
Zhao Changsheng gave the county magistrate more wine and poured himself another glass.
The county magistrate took advantage of the drunkenness and recounted the recent events.
Zhao Changsheng heard this.
His eyes lit up instantly.
He was worried about how to persuade the county magistrate to go, but he didn't expect the county magistrate to take the initiative to mention it.
