"Master Tong, the rebels are coming, open the door quickly!"
The guards shouted anxiously.
The master stood at the entrance of the front hall, frowning as he looked at the door that was being knocked loudly.
"Sir, should we hide for a while?"
Tong Zhifu was extremely nervous when he heard the soldiers shouting.
"There's no need to hide. Dong won't be able to hold out for much longer."
"What's the use of looking for a civilian like me when the rebels come? It seems that Dong Wenfeng has started to try all kinds of methods to save his life."
The master looked at the door that was shaking from being hit, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"This door can't be defended..."
Before the master could finish his words, his personal guards had already jumped over the wall and entered.
"......" As soon as the personal soldier landed, he looked up and saw Master Tong and the advisor standing at the door of the front hall.
The three of them looked at each other, and the air froze for a moment.
The guards clasped their hands together and saluted Prefect Tong.
"Master Tong, the general wants you to take the people to the city gate tower immediately."
The corners of Magistrate Tong's mouth twitched twice, he sighed slowly, and walked towards the gate.
The lawyer was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly trotted after Magistrate Tong.
With a "swish", Magistrate Tong pulled out the bolt, opened the door with a "creak", and walked out.
The guards quickly chased after him.
"Master Tong, the general asked you to take the people to the city gate tower."
The personal guard thought that Magistrate Tong didn't hear clearly, so he reminded him again.
Prefect Tong walked to the gate of the prefectural yamen and pointed around randomly.
"The people in the city have already fled. Where can I find them?"
"Didn't you notice on your way here that there were no more civilians in Shiquan City?"
Magistrate Tong turned his head and looked straight at his personal guards, his eyes as cold as ice cones.
“…How is that possible!”
The guards' eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Heh~" Tong Zhifu sneered and waved his hand towards the nearby houses.
"Go and see for yourself."
The bodyguard frowned and ran towards the house opposite.
"Clang~"
The guards anxiously kicked the door open and said, "Come out, come out..."
"Bang~"
"Where are you... Come out quickly..."
“…”
Magistrate Tong watched his personal guards going in and out and searching four or five houses, but not finding a single civilian. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Even if you look for it, you will find that the city has been broken and you will not be able to find a single civilian.
Of course, unless these personal guards go to the South City Gate to look for him.
However, the North Gate was not close to the South Gate. By the time the personal guards brought the people over, the city had already been breached.
He believed that with Xiao Yunzhan's ability, he could definitely take over Shiquan City within two hours.
It would take the personal guards two hours to go to the South Gate and back.
The prerequisite is that the people cooperate. If the people struggle, it will take some time.
"How is that possible!"
The guard muttered in disbelief.
When he went to the city gate tower in the morning, he saw many people walking on the road.
The guards kicked the door until their feet were numb, but they didn't find anyone.
All the houses were empty.
At this moment, he felt that Shiquan City was like an empty city.
Hundreds of thousands of people just disappeared like that.
"Master Tong, please accompany me to the city gate tower."
The personal guard walked up to Magistrate Tong with a sullen face, feeling extremely uneasy.
If he returns empty-handed, Dong Wenfeng will kill him.
Tong Zhifu frowned and asked, "Why should I go with you?"
"I will stay at the prefectural government office and won't go anywhere else."
He didn't prepare the oil and didn't bring the people with him. That madman Dong Wenfeng would probably kill him first.
"Kuacha" the guard drew out the sword from his waist and put it on Tong Zhifu's neck.
"Master Tong, I'm sorry, but the general wants to see you, you must go."
"How dare you!" The master's pupils trembled with fear, and he hurriedly reached out to push the sword away.
When his hand came close to the sharp sword, he didn't know where to start.
"Put it down now! You are committing treason. Are you trying to kill yourself..."
"Shut up!" The guard glared at the master. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll send you to hell."
The guard pressed the sword in his hand against Tong Zhifu's neck again, "Master Tong, please!"
Tong Zhifu looked at his guards steadily, a sneer on his face.
"As expected, there are servants for every master."
"Stop talking nonsense!" The guard's face flushed with anger. "Hurry up and leave!"
Tong Zhifu lowered his eyes to look at the sword beside his neck, and slightly raised the corner of his lips.
"Put away your sword, I will follow you."
"Huh!?" Magistrate Tong was about to leave, but his guards had not yet taken away the sword from his neck. He raised his eyelids and looked at the guards coldly.
The guard pursed his lips and took the sword away from Tong Zhifu's neck, "Let's go!"
The master glared at his personal guard and touched the dagger in his sleeve.
He had to find an opportunity to stab Dong Wenfeng's lackey in the back.
The master's gaze moved from the back of the personal soldier to his neck, and his eyes dimmed slightly.
