The scripts are getting weirder and weirder now.
The heroine, whom the male supporting character loved to death, became a super villain for the heroine and destroyed the entire world, causing the hero and heroine's families to be broken up and he regretted it deeply.
Now, in order to ensure the hero and heroine can be together smoothly, various obstacles are set up for the male and female supporting roles. Either the concubine or the mistress is in power and waiting for the heroine to properly punish her, or the inhumane hero is waiting for the pretentious hero to step on the male supporting role. In short, the personality charm of the male and female supporting roles must not exceed that of the hero and heroine. They are not even stepping stones and are directly upgraded to cannon fodder.
My worldview is so shattered that I can't bear to look at it. It was originally just a relationship that my parents disapproved of, but now it has been escalated to the national level. It's really disgusting to see such a relationship that is so devastating at every turn.
021 said: "Stop talking nonsense and find a way to save the male supporting role."
What's the point of saving him? He has become a cuckold for the heroine. Is there any need to save him?
The most urgent task is to save Muhe County.
The plot has progressed to the point where the male protagonist goes to the wedding to cause trouble. Seeing this as a godsend opportunity, the Jiannu army attacks Muhe County at night, waiting to capture Muhe County in one fell swoop and have a steaming hot celebratory dinner.
Whether or not they could even enjoy the celebratory dinner was still a matter of debate. Xu Jing suspected the protagonist's disruption of the wedding was connected to the Jiannu night raid. He must have leaked some information that led to the raid's success. Considering the protagonist's unhesitating surrender to the Jiannu later in the story, Xu Jing believed there must be a connection.
The male protagonist is at least a man of ambition, and he is not an old prince in his seventies who is waiting for others to help him. He is young and strong, but instead of serving the country, he dares to openly commit treason. His heart is despicable.
Regardless of whether the ending is successful or not, Xu Jing is determined to throw the pot of dirty water.
Xu Jing currently had very few people available to him. Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw his advisor Bai Shinian, panting, following behind him. Xu Jing's eyes swiveled, and a plan came to mind. "Shi Nian, why would the Jiannu suddenly attack Muhe County at night? Is there some conspiracy?"
I don’t know.
Bai Shinian wanted to cry but had no tears. He just wanted to escape. He didn't want to follow the army to die.
"Master, can we..."
"Hmm?" Xu Jing glared at him. Bai Shinian gave in and followed Xu Jing's lead. "Master, you're right. There's definitely something fishy going on. How about I go check it out now?"
"It's getting better and better." Bai Shinian was overjoyed to hear this. He could finally leave this dangerous place. He tied the rope and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Xu Jing. "Go to Luo Mansion and inform General Luo and ask him to prepare."
What preparation can you make? Preparation to die?
Bai Shinian was so sad that he could not even cry, but he had to go there to save his master's face.
Xu Jing, Zang Yun and his group followed Liu Yuhe and others to the scene of the incident.
The closer we got, the louder the sounds of fighting became. Fortunately, the soldiers at the city gates trained daily and were accustomed to the Jiannu's small-scale attacks. They expertly operated their catapults, hurling dung balls and rocks down.
The Jiannu's screams resounded through the sky, and rocks fell like rain, hitting one person after another climbing the ladder.
"Go on, keep going! Whoever can climb the city wall will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins."
A big reward will always attract brave men. The shouts of the Jiannu soldiers resounded throughout the land, and the sound of drums roused the soldiers' fighting spirit to a certain extent.
The stones on the catapult will eventually run out, while the densely packed soldiers below are climbing up by stepping on the corpses of others. There will always be a few who will climb up the city wall and bravely kill the enemy.
The city guards were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, urging them to come back. "Is General Luo here? Is Guard Liu back?"
"No."
"Are they all useless? Why don't you hurry up and urge them?" The fire is burning at my eyebrows, why are all of them gone? Who will take the responsibility if the city is lost?
Just as the city guard was about to cry, a soldier climbed up the city wall, knelt down and said, "General Yang, the garrison commander Liu has arrived with the officers and soldiers from the county government."
Yang Zhiming's frown relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief. "Please come in."
Liu Yuhe and Xu Jing climbed up the city wall one after the other. When Yang Zhiming saw Liu Yuhe, he hurriedly asked, "Captain Liu, how many people did you bring with you?"
"Five hundred in total."
Five hundred men wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps in the Jiannu army's teeth. Looking at the densely packed enemy forces beneath the city walls, there were at least five thousand of them, not to mention the many more. Yang Zhiming felt his career was bleak and lackluster. If it weren't for the burden on his shoulders, he would have wanted to pack up and run away.
"General Yang, the first thing we need to do now is to have someone light the beacon tower. The border troops stationed ten miles away will see this and come to our aid. Send a trusted confidant to Baiji County to mobilize reinforcements. This situation is urgent, and I hope General Yang will issue the order immediately."
As soon as Xu Jing opened his mouth, Yang Zhiming knew whether there was any problem or not. After listening to him, Yang Zhiming noticed that the person following him was the local magistrate Jiang Xuqing.
When did Jiang Xuqing become so eloquent? Could it be that he was blind and had misjudged the person?
Yang Zhiming rubbed his eyes to make sure it was Jiang Xuqing who was speaking, then said with a straight face, "County Magistrate Jiang, isn't it inappropriate for a civil official like you to interfere in the affairs of a military officer?"
"General Yang, do you still care about so many things now? If Muhe County is lost, you, me, and everyone in Muhe County will be guilty. Where can we go to seek justice then? The most urgent thing is to defend Muhe County. Other matters can be postponed."
Although Xu Jing was a civil official, his position was not as high as the garrison commanders. However, the Yan State always valued civil officials over military officials. As a county magistrate, he was the equivalent of a local emperor, and military officials had to be polite to him.
Xu Jing's words were harsh, but they also reflected reality. In a critical moment, who has time to worry about relationships between superiors and subordinates? The first thing to do is to clean up the mess.
Before Yang Zhiming could say anything, Liu Shoubei had already sent people to the beacon tower to light the fire.
"Which of your confidants is willing to go out of the city to get reinforcements?"
The place, which had been noisy just a moment ago, suddenly fell silent. Xu Jing glanced around and was speechless by the group of warriors. Just as he was about to speak, Tie Niu, a dark-faced man carrying two iron axes, offered to help, but Xu Jing refused. "Don't be in a hurry. You will guard the city wall and kill every Russian who comes up. If there are two, kill them both."
Tie Niu sneered, "How can a mere magistrate like you boast? I'm not one of your lackeys, so why would I obey your orders?"
"Iron Ox," Liu Yuhe said. "Just do as Magistrate Jiang says. Call Fatty, and the monkeys will take their weapons and stay at the gate of the tower to kill the soldiers. Do you hear me?"
Tie Niu was a centurion in the border defense battalion. Because of his courage and bravery, he was promoted by Liu Shoubei to become his confidant and always kept by his side. He didn't take Jiang Xuqing seriously because Jiang Xuqing was committing many evil deeds and exploiting the people. But Liu Yuhe had spoken, and he had to obey.
