Chapter 1109 Her tenderness is irresistible
Someone nearby tentatively asked, "Why not just open the city gates and let them leave?"
When Wen Ye heard this, he immediately said in a deep voice: "No!"
The person next to him frowned.
In fact, when they said these words, it seemed that they were speaking for the common people, but in fact they were also asking for themselves. After all, the situation this time was special. The rebels were besieging the city, and the emperor was so stubborn and self-willed that he refused to send reinforcements to Peking. For a city without any external support, it was almost only a matter of time before the city was broken.
The rebels issued another warning that they would massacre the entire city if it was captured.
They are also afraid of death.
If Wen Ye is willing to open the city gate, can they take the opportunity to escape and save their lives?
Unexpectedly, Wen Ye refused without hesitation.
Everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant for a moment.
Wen Ye's face was gloomy. He just glanced at them without saying anything. He looked outside the city wall. The faint morning light from the ceiling could only barely illuminate the outline of the front.
But, after fighting for so many years, he could tell even a faint outline.
In the pitch-black night ahead, countless soldiers were hiding.
As soon as they open the city gate, these rebels will swarm in. By then, will these people still be alive?
Needless to say, those ordinary people will only become stepping stones for them to enter Hecheng. Who will care about their life or death?
Thinking of this, Wen Ye's face became even darker.
He turned around and said to the people around him, "Don't think that you can have a chance of survival by abandoning the city and surrendering. Prince Ning is now rebelling against the court, and he is rebelling against his own brothers. How can a man who doesn't even care about his own brothers and sisters stay here? Don't dream!"
“…”
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
After saying this with a dark face, Wen Ye looked down again.
The people were becoming increasingly agitated, and the noises of their arguments with the soldiers defending the city were growing louder and louder. Some people in the back were even desperately trying to rush forward.
I watched the crowds surge forward in waves, like waves hitting rocks.
At this moment, it can still be defended.
But how long can we prevent it?
Wen Ye's face darkened. He called the deputy general beside him and whispered a few words to him. The deputy general nodded, immediately got down from the city wall, mounted his horse, and quickly headed towards the Jinlou Villa.
Watching his figure disappear in front of him, Wen Ye couldn't help but clench his fists and turned to look outside the city wall.
The sky is gradually getting brighter.
At this time, a loud noise came from the city gate below the city wall.
Wen Ye walked over quickly, leaning against the parapet to look down. It was a young man in the crowd. He had been guarding the city all night and was a little angry. He said to the soldiers guarding the city: "Why don't you open the city gate? Do you want us to die here?"
The soldiers guarding the city hadn't slept a wink all night and were in a bad mood: "Stop talking nonsense and get out of the way!"
After saying that, he reached out and pushed him.
The young man stumbled, then immediately stood up and shouted angrily, "You people can't win the war, and you only know how to bully us ordinary people. We are not your captive mules, why can't you let us leave the city?"
The soldier drew his knife with a swish: "Looking for death?"
When everyone saw him draw his sword, their originally timid mood turned into anger.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "If you use knives on us, then we'll use them too!"

The deputy general rode his horse and quickly arrived at the Jinlou Villa.
In Liuhe Hall.
A huge map was spread out on the table where antiques were originally placed. Zhu Feng looked at the three places of Beiping, Hecheng, and Changqing City on it with a serious look.
The deputy general sent by Wen Ye was kneeling in front of the table, reporting the situation on the city wall.
"emperor,"
He lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Lord Wen has sent me back to report to the Emperor. The people are currently very excited and difficult to control. Even if the rebels don't attack the city, they will riot inside."
“…”
"We don't have many people guarding the city, and I'm afraid there will be a big chaos."
Zhu Feng withdrew his gaze from the map and slowly raised his head.
He said, "Wen Ye means he can't hold on for too long?"
"he--"
Before he could finish his words, he heard hurried footsteps outside.
He looked up and saw a servant running over hurriedly. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there is a commotion at the city gate."
"What?"
"The people clamored to leave the city, but the soldiers refused to open the gates, so they started fighting."
“…”
"Now, a lot of people have been hurt."
When the deputy general heard this, his face turned pale. He didn't expect such a thing to happen right after he left.
Zhu Feng said: "Well, is it under control?"
The attendant said, "My Lord has sent back a report that the situation is under control, but many soldiers and civilians defending the city have been injured, and everyone's mood has become even worse. I'm afraid that if the stalemate continues, there will be a big chaos."
Hearing this, the deputy general felt even more depressed.
"Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible!"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "You go down first."
The deputy general looked at him with a look of helplessness and despair, but Zhu Feng remained calm: "Go down."
"……yes."
He could only stand up and retreat dejectedly.
However, as soon as he went out, he saw a slender figure standing at the door, holding a cup of tea in his hand. The deputy general was stunned for a moment and hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "Your Highness."
Nan Yan was just standing at the door and had already heard what they said.
At this time, she just nodded to him and turned to walk in.
Zhu Feng was still standing in front of the table, staring at the map on the table with burning eyes, as if he wanted to burn a hole in the map, and anger was rising in his heart.
At this moment, a very soft voice came from my ear——
"emperor."
When she looked up, she saw Nan Yan standing in front of her holding a cup of tea.
Zhu Feng's eyes flickered.
When I left her before, she was still saying that she was there, but that charming atmosphere could not continue under the current situation.
Zhu Feng coughed lightly before speaking, his voice a little unusually hoarse.
"Why are you here?"
For some reason, when Nan Yan heard his hoarse voice, some scenes from last night emerged in her mind.
She couldn't help but blush, but still stepped forward with her head lowered: "I'm here to bring tea to the emperor. Xiao Shunzi and the others said that the emperor didn't sleep, drink water, or eat last night."
"I, it's too late."
"No matter how urgent it is, you have to eat and drink enough before you can come up with a solution."
Her soft voice is irresistible.
Zhu Feng sighed, took the teacup from her hand and took a sip.
A smile immediately appeared on Nan Yan's face.
She walked over to him, looked at the map on the table, and her heart moved slightly. She whispered, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to resolve this matter?"
