Chapter 70 Stop it, Xiaoye City cannot burn down
"Burn, burn it up!"
The madness on Wu Zhi's face could no longer be concealed. He looked at the fire greedily, as if through the fire, he saw countless gold and silver treasures waving to him.
Not only him, but even Sun Xing, who was fighting with Tang Shi, showed a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Tang Shi stopped fighting.
"Hurry, hurry up to put out the fire!"
Tang Shi was well prepared and asked every soldier to bring water and sand.
The fires ignited by Wu Zhi were put out with almost no effort.
Seeing this, Sun Xing sneered.
"Release the arrow."
The arrow with fire appeared in the archer's hand, and the archer pulled the bow very hard.
The bow and arrow were ready to go and shot out at a very fast speed.
They were all first-rate archers, lying in ambush at high places early in the morning, and could easily shoot arrows into people's homes.
The houses hit by arrows soon caught fire.
Tang Jiajun's eyes turned red: "Brothers, save people!"
For Sun Xing's soldiers, this was just a mission.
But for Tang Jiajun who had been stationed here for a long time, there were their friends and family members here, and they could not watch Xiaoye City being destroyed.
They rushed into Xiaoye City like crazy, wanting to rescue the people, but what surprised them was that the houses in the city were empty, without a single person in them.
The whole Xiaoye City was quiet, as if it was an empty city that had not seen anyone for a long time.
In order to stop Tang Jiajun from rescuing people, Sun Xing had to lead his men into Xiaoye City as well.
Tang Shi turned around and started fighting with Sun Xing. Seeing this, he shouted, "The people of Xiaoye City have already trained a rescue team. Go find them and follow their command."
He looked at Sun Xing, his eyes were full of fire.
"Our swords, spears, swords and halberds should be aimed at the enemies who invade Dayun, not the people of Dayun."
"Don't say those useless nonsense to me. I am just following the emperor's orders."
"You know whether it is the emperor's order or for personal desires. As long as I am here, I will not allow Xiaoye City to be destroyed."
Tang Shi was fighting with Sun Xing, and a cold arrow suddenly shot towards him. He wanted to block the arrow, but was cut by Sun Xing.
He looked at the knife in Sun Xing's hand, held the spear tightly in his hand, and pushed Sun Xing's knife away with force.
He almost thought he was going to die here, but he heard someone shouting, "Don't be afraid, General, I'm here to help you!"
A strong man with a full beard and a kitchen knife rushed towards Sun Xing.
Nonsense!
The long knife in Sun Xing's hand weighed 60 kilograms, how could a small kitchen knife defeat it? Just
as he was thinking, he saw the strong man knock the knife in Sun Xing's hand away with the kitchen knife, and then cut off Sun Xing's horse leg.
The strong man's knife was wielded without any method, and it was obvious that he had not been trained, but his strength was extremely great, and he almost overwhelmed Sun Xing.
Tang Shi's face turned pale due to excessive blood loss. A slender young man pulled him off his horse and put him on a strange centipede.
"General, don't be afraid, he's very powerful."
The young man's round face was still a bit fat, and he was obviously panicked, obviously not comfortable with the current chaotic scene.
"Brother Li, come up quickly."
"Okay."
Li Zhi stopped fighting with Sun Xing, kicked Sun Xing away, and then got on the centipede.
Song Ci drove the centipede very fast, and soon disappeared from Sun Xing's sight.
"Brother is really smart. He said that the bad guy General Sun would definitely plot against General Tang, so he sent me here. I didn't expect to meet him."
Li Zhi couldn't hide the excitement on his face. It was the first time for him to fight with a master like Sun Xing.
It was great!
After these days of getting along, Song Ci had long been accustomed to Li Zhi's filter for Gan Fanren, and didn't find it strange. Instead, he was vaguely brainwashed by Li Zhi and admired Gan Fanren a little more.
"Brother Gan is really amazing. If it weren't for him, Xiaoye City would not be as peaceful as it is now."
Although Tang Shi lost too much blood, he could still feel how orderly Xiaoye City was at this time.
Those fires were not enough to pose a threat to Xiaoye City. Everyone was doing their job in an orderly manner, without panic or fear.
Papers flew down like snowflakes, and on the papers were written evidence of how Sun Xing and the county magistrate Wu Zhi had tortured the people, and how they had tortured Tang Shi, a good general who served the country and the people.
The writer's writing was very good and infectious. Just reading such an article was enough to arouse people's anger.
Tang Shi had a hunch that once such an article was spread, it would definitely cause an uproar.
He looked up and saw a young man with a bright smile on his face, throwing papers in the direction of the outside of the city.
The man named Gan he met that day seemed to be saying something, which made the young man smile embarrassedly.
Gan Fanren: "Ayue, please watch the wind direction. Our purpose is to shock Sun Xing and Wu Zhi, not to let you use these papers to light the fire more vigorously."
Gongsun Yue smiled embarrassedly: "Sorry, Brother Gan, I am really too excited."
"Last time I threw this thing, it was hidden and exposed, and it was not fun at all."
When Wu Zhi and Yang Tongpan saw the content on the paper, they were angry and felt scared.
If this paper was just for them to see, it would be fine. What if it was picked up by others?
Yang Tongpan saw that his name was not on it and made a prompt decision.
"Since General Tang has guaranteed it, let's forget about burning Xiaoye City. After all, you don't want to be accused of killing loyal people, right?" Although
Xiaoye City was abandoned by His Majesty, there are other towns nearby. There is no impenetrable wall in this world. Tang Shi was not killed, and the fire in Xiaoye City did not start. With such an article, I'm afraid today's incident has already spread widely.
Xiaoye City really can't be burned down.
"We lost."
"We really underestimated the people of Xiaoye City."
Yang Tongpan took a deep breath: "The people of Xiaoye City are the most fearless and brave people I have ever seen. If we force the burning, I am worried that the people of Xiaoye City will rebel." "If we stop
now, we will at most suffer some criticism. If the people of Xiaoye City rebel, we will all lose our heads, otherwise it will not be enough to quell the anger of the people." At
that time, everyone will say that they are the culprits who forced the people to rebel. In order to quell the anger of the people, His Majesty must kill them and give an explanation to the people of the world.
Their Majesty does not care about the lives of the people, but cares very much about whether the position of the dragon throne is stable.
If the people rebel, he will definitely be furious.
By then, not only the three of them, but also the important officials in the court who have connections with them will be punished.
This is too far-reaching.
Even if Your Majesty is willing to let them go, those important officials who have suffered losses will not let them go.
They will be more cruel and ruthless than Your Majesty.
