"Sister Cao, hundreds of young people were taken away from the neighboring village, and they were all pushed up the city wall!"
"Hey, I heard that the rebels are very powerful. Aren't these people going to die?"
Mrs. Liu sat on the threshold and told Concubine Duan who was busy in the room.
It was said to be busy work, but in fact it was sorting cotton cloth, which Duan Fei had recently woven.
It's a pity that the government will definitely not come to collect these things in the near future. The whole city is now focusing on defending the city.
"You've been out for a long time, what else have you heard?" Concubine Duan stopped what she was doing.
"I also heard someone say that the rebel king met the emperor at Zhengyangmen this morning!"
"I heard from people outside that that prince is the uncle of the current emperor. Today he scolded the emperor in front of tens of thousands of people inside and outside the city!"
Hearing this, Concubine Duan smiled and asked, "What did you curse?"
Mrs. Liu glanced outside, and then said vigilantly: "Those are all taboo words, I don't dare to say them!"
Concubine Duan smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? Several people living around here went out to look for food early in the morning, and they haven't come back yet... Are you still afraid of someone eavesdropping?"
Since Yong's army besieged the city, the food supply in the city has tightened a lot, and the government has not released food for two days.
Families without reserves can only find ways to find work in exchange for food to last a few more days.
Of course, Concubine Duan will not be short of food here, and even the Liu family's ancestors and grandchildren will also benefit from it.
"I heard from people outside that the prince called the current emperor a traitor and said that the previous emperor was killed by the current emperor!"
"And I have heard people say that even if the emperor surrenders, the prince will not let him go!"
"Sister Cao, please tell me, these two are uncle and nephew by blood. After all, they are still a family. Why does the uncle insist on letting his nephew die!"
While Mrs. Liu was mumbling, she heard Concubine Duan murmur: "If Zhao Weilong doesn't die, his master will be unknown!"
Regarding this point, Concubine Duan and Zhao Yanxun thought of something.
At this moment, a little baby ran into the room and shouted: "Grandma, I'm hungry!"
Holding her grandson in her arms, Mrs. Liu lectured in a low voice: "You just know how to eat. How many meals do you need to eat in a day?"
"Be honest with me these two days and don't go out and play around, do you hear me?"
Seeing Shuanzi's eyes begging for mercy, Concubine Duan also said with a downcast face: "If you don't obey me, I won't give you food!"
…………
"Sir, the man named Li just left the city gate and seems to be going home!"
After hearing the report, Su Chuyun nodded, and then said: "Okay... let's go to his house and wait!"
"Walk!"
Ten minutes later, Li Jinglong came to the door of his house with more than a dozen soldiers.
Since Yong's army besieged the city, he has not been home for four days.
Someone in the mansion just sent a message saying that his youngest son was sick and asked him to go back and take a look.
According to the requirements of the Ministry of War, all generals must stick to their posts during the Yong Army's siege. At this time, Li Jinglong obviously did not comply with the request.
This also shows that the imperial court's control over the army is weakening, otherwise Li Jinglong would not be so bold.
Leaving the soldiers to stay outside the door, Li Jinglong entered the mansion alone.
Seeing the young boy passing by, Li Jinglong immediately ordered: "Hurry up and prepare the food and drinks at home. I will take them away soon, sir!"
He couldn't eat or drink well in the military camp, so he returned home today just to cook a small meal for himself.
After giving this order, Li Jinglong rushed to the inner house. From a distance, he heard his son crying.
When Li Jinglong entered the inner house, Su Chuyun also brought more than 20 guards and sneaked into Li's house from all directions.
These people are all second-level soldiers, and their skills are not ordinary. They entered the mansion and took control of the inner house very easily, and they did not attract attention from outside the mansion.
"Someone, go get two basins of hot water..."
Li Jinglong shouted outside, but no one answered, which made him even more angry.
"These slaves really need to be taught a lesson!" Li Jinglong's wife looked sulky.
Li Jinglong walked out the door with a dark face. The next moment, Li Jinglong realized something was wrong. There was no one outside.
"Where are the people? Where have they died?" Li Jinglong walked to the center of the yard.
At this moment, a man appeared at the entrance of the hall, walking toward Li Jinglong with his hands behind his back.
One look at Su Chuyun's dress, Li Jinglong knew that this was not a servant in the mansion, so his face became more and more gloomy.
"Who are you?"
Su Chuyun replied: "Master Li, I am here to save you!"
"Save me? Why do I need your help?" Li Jinglong was full of confusion.
"Don't you know what His Highness King Yong said today?"
Before Li Jinglong could answer, Su Chuyun continued: "If you resist stubbornly, you will be killed without mercy. Do you think you are in for a big disaster?"
Just hearing these words, Li Jinglong judged Su Chuyun's identity and immediately said: "Are you from King Yong?"
"That's right!"
"Aren't you afraid that I will have someone arrest you?"
"Catch me?" Su Chuyun smiled, and then said: "You should think about it first, how can you save the lives of your family!"
Slowly walking behind Li Jinglong, Su Chuyun sighed: "You know better than me. The defense of the capital cannot last for a few days, and it is inevitable that His Highness King Yong will take over the capital!"
Of course Li Jinglong knew this, and he actually wanted to find a way to survive, but unfortunately there was no "way".
But now, this way seems to have emerged.
"Having said all that, why are you looking for me?"
"You are stationed at Zijin Gate. As long as you are willing to lead your troops in righteousness, His Highness will remember your merits!"
"This is a serious crime against the nine clans!"
Hearing this, Su Chuyun laughed: "I don't know if the current emperor can punish your nine tribes..."
"But His Highness King Yong will definitely kill your whole family!"
This last sentence made Li Jinglong tremble. He had no doubt that King Yong had this ability.
At this moment, Su Chuyun walked up to Li Jinglong, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are a smart man and know what to do!"
"This afternoon, our army is gathering outside Zijin Gate, waiting for you to open the city gate and welcome the king's division into the city!"
"Do you understand?"
Li Jinglong looked gloomy and nodded the next moment. In fact, he only had this way to go.
As for the so-called loyalty, it does not exist at all. After all, the lives of the family and the children are the most important.
At this time, Su Chuyun said with a smile: "You have to hurry up. If other commanders take the lead, you will lose your head start!"
From beginning to end, Su Chuyun behaved extremely calmly, which also made his words more feasible.
But in fact, Su Chuyun only found Li Jinglong, and the others stayed on the city wall and couldn't get close at all.
In fact, it was after Yong's army besieged the city that the control in the city was relaxed a lot, allowing Su Chuyun and others to move around frequently.
"Don't worry, I will take care of it!" Li Jinglong said in a deep voice.
"Okay, I'll take my leave!" Su Chuyun said calmly.
He has accomplished this matter, which will definitely be a great achievement. Next, he will send the news to the camp outside the city through the phone.
Then, under Li Jinglong's eyes, Su Chuyun walked out of Li's house.
At this time, Li Jinglong's wife appeared at the door of the room and asked: "Master, who is here?"
"Wait a minute, you hide with the children, and don't come out no matter how chaotic it is outside, I will send someone to protect you!"
"Did you hear that?"
"I heard it, what's going to happen?"
"Don't ask any more questions!"
After saying the last sentence, Li Jinglong walked outside. Next, he would fight for the lives of his family.
