When Xu Mu and his men arrived in a hurry, they took a closer look and saw that the young man who threw the snowball had been knocked to the ground.
He kicked his legs and kept picking up snowballs, looking up at his face full of blood, crying and cursing, and throwing them away randomly.
"My lord, you have gorgeous robes and armor, and you are wearing a sheep felt. I must be from Xilong."
"Mr. Wenlong...is he a Liangzhou native with tough folk customs?"
"My lord, yes, it's hard to say if there are aliens." Jia Zhou's voice was helpless.
"Si Hu, go rescue people first."
Xu Mu had already recognized that the one fighting them was another group of stickmen, about a dozen of them, each holding swords and clubs.
Looking at it again, these Liangzhou guards were not at a disadvantage. But the young master's miserable cry really made people think astray.
Si Hu led more than ten Qinglong battalions to kill them, and in less than a few blinks of an eye, he killed the other gang of stickmen back.
They probably wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob them, but after they got into trouble, the remaining seven or eight stickmen quickly ran away with their knives in hand.
There are three million stickmen in the Daji. Of course, this is just an exaggerated figure. In reality, if fully calculated, the number of the entire Daji is only a few hundred thousand.
The young master got up from the ground and when he saw Xu Mu, he thought it was the second group of mowers and hurriedly bent down to pick up the snowball again.
"Mr. Wenlong, call me a horse number."
In the cold wind and snow, after only a moment, the young master suddenly became beaming when he heard the sound of a horse's horn.
"The young Marquis asked me to wait for you. Please stop talking and find a place to take shelter."
The siege battle in Mei County is still going on. After the city gate is broken, those dog officers and soldiers will definitely rush into the city. Don't expect any appeasement. To put it bluntly, it is not unreasonable to kill good people and take credit.
possible.
I see a lot of things like this at the border.
The safest way is to wait until all the dust has settled before finding a way to leave Mei County. And there is another point. The young Marquis has spent so much effort to bypass the army, and he certainly doesn't want too many people to know the secret inside.
"Master, there is an old alley here."
"There is no perfect path for man, even if God doesn't pity me and my father doesn't bless me -"
The young prince Dong Wen, who was still saluting and bowing, was directly carried on Si Hu's shoulders and ran forward in a hurry.
All around, there were the pitiful screams of the rebels and the roars of the officers and soldiers. The sounds sounded like they were shattering the wind and snow.
"Daping Kingdom! My emperor came to the city in person to supervise the battle!"
"The heroes of the world gather together to create a new world."
On the city in the distance, countless people were crowded, and they were shot to death by waves of flying arrows. Many ragged people were also bewitched, and rushed to the city like crazy, taking their place.
He had seen scenes like this many times, and it was still hard to let go.
Zhuge Fan told him that he must not be a passer-by in this life. He would go through life without any surprises, just like watching flowers on horseback.
"Lord, let's go."
Xu Mu took a deep step, and together with Jia Zhou, followed the figure of Si Hu in front of him, and walked coldly into the alleyway.
…
"Master, it's nighttime."
In the dark cellar, two heroes from the Qinglong Battalion found an old lantern. After lighting it, they turned it to the weakest level, leaving only an extremely weak light, reflecting a shallow brightness.
"That's it. My father doesn't like me, so he asked me to take this baggage into the inner city and hand it over."
With a trembling voice, Dong Wen took out a small bundle from his arms and held it for a long time, wondering whether he should hand it over.
Xu Mu sighed, this young prince of Liangzhou was really stupid. If it were someone else who was trying to swindle treasures, he would have succeeded by now.
"I'll take you out, and you can leave it to the Marquis yourself."
Xu Mu was not very interested in the things inside. This time, he was actually doing a favor.
After the matter was successful, he hoped to wait for something as good as a private soldier's notarization from Yuan Tao.
Dong Wen was startled, and hurriedly took back the small bundle. Unexpectedly, after a lot of trouble, his hand shook and the whole thing fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Before he could take a closer look, Dong Wen had already bent down, picked up the things, and wrapped them into the bundle again.
Xu Mu was speechless for a while.
After all, he is a young prince from Liangzhou. He promised to have a strong folk custom, but half of him is gone.
"My dear boss, what's going on tonight? It seems like the city is still being attacked outside." Dong Wen put away his baggage and asked anxiously.
Even Xu Mu did not expect that these seven thousand rebels would be so powerful. They were much stronger than Dangyang County at that time.
Of course, the key to this is that people are constantly being deceived and helping to defend the city.
But no matter what, the entire city is now surrounded, and it is definitely impossible to escape.
"My father said that if anyone else finds out about this little baggage except giving it to the Marquis, I will be beheaded."
Xu Mu’s heart and hair became heavy.
He knew without thinking that something that Yuan Tao cared about so much must be very important.
"Let's rest for now and think of a solution tomorrow."
The wind and snow are getting stronger and the sky is getting darker. Given the nature of the Daji officers and soldiers, they will not brave the snowy night to attack the city.
Dong Wen hesitated for a moment and was still anxious to ask a few more questions, but seeing Xu Mu's expression, he had no choice but to hold his head and huddle in the corner.
A Liangzhou guard came over and covered him with a warm robe.
"I don't know martial arts, and I don't know how to organize troops. This time, I'm afraid there will be more misfortune."
Xu Mu had a big headache for a while.
In this short period of time, the young prince of Liangzhou in front of him could not tell how many rounds he was complaining.
Fortunately, after chatting for a while, Dong Wen was weak and fell asleep quickly.
"Master, why don't you and I go to the house and have a look." Jia Zhou stood up slowly, his voice a little heavy.
In front of outsiders, he rarely calls Xu Mu his lord, but his boss.
"That's easy to say."
Xu Mu also got up, knowing in his heart that Jia Zhou had something to say.
After leaving the cellar, the two of them took their time and walked to a corner next to the house.
The wind and snow were still howling outside, and occasionally one could still hear the angry shouts of rebel leaders riding horses.
"Lord, the war is over."
"indeed."
As Xu Mu expected, it was unlikely that there would be a night battle in such windy and snowy weather.
"Lord, I just saw you."
"What do you see?" Xu Mu was startled.
"The things in the baggage of the young prince of Liangzhou. This thing made me think about some things clearly. For example... the young prince is going to decide the country."
"What is Wenlong?"
"Tiger Talisman, a tiger talisman for mobilizing troops."
Xu Mudun was on the spot, and of course he knew the meaning of the tiger talisman, which was used to mobilize troops into the camp.
"Lord, this is more likely to be a tiger charm from the Liangzhou Army." Jia Zhou spoke in a deep voice.
Xu Mu's chest felt heavy. This also explained why Yuan Tao cared so much about these envoys from Liangzhou.
I had heard Jia He say before that Yuan Tao had given the Liangzhou royal family a gift of reincarnation, and it seemed reasonable to offer him the tiger talisman.
"Lord, what do you think now?"
Xu Mu remained silent and did not answer. The main reason why he respected Yuan Tao was that as an outsider, he understood the value of loyalty.
Moreover, he did not mean that he would follow Yuan Tao's wishes and step into the court of Daji. Seriously speaking, it was more like an employment relationship. The private soldiers, weapons, robes, and armor he needed, besides Yuan Tao,
No one was willing to give it to him.
"Lord, you and I have to witness the rise or collapse of a dynasty." Jia Zhou cupped his hands and bowed to the sky.
Standing in the house, Xu Mu suddenly realized that his whole body was completely cold.
