A knife in love

Chapter 3531

When Li Qiufeng heard the old man in gray say this, he thought to himself that the person who said these words was quite knowledgeable and presumably not an ordinary person.This group of people was forced by the Xu family, and there was no way to retreat, so they simply turned back to the Xu family, which is somewhat similar to those heroes in Zhongtu who were forced to go to Liangshan.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he heard the old man in gray go on to say: "Although the city lord has no intention of rebellion, but seeing the dozens of bloody and inhuman corpses on the ground, he knows that this disaster has caused a big disaster, so even if he kowtows to beg for mercy , the Xu family will never let me go. My life is not valuable, and if I lose it, I will lose it, but my wife and children will definitely be killed by the Xu family. This is absolutely intolerable. Thinking of this , He broke his heart and promised to rebel with everyone. However, he was about to send people to discuss with the lords of several nearby cities about breaking up with the Xu family, when he suddenly received a report that several groups of troops were approaching. I don't know what happened. The city lord was shocked when he heard the words, thinking that the Xu family knew about the murder of the villainous young overlord and sent troops to avenge him. He was so frightened that he froze for a while, not knowing how to deal with it.

"Everyone just clamored to break with the Xu family. Under the agitation of the crowd, everyone wished they could take up their swords and guns and fight the Xu family immediately. But when they heard that the Xu family sent troops to kill them, they were stunned. Some The timid people were frightened and slipped away quietly, intending to escape from the Xu family's jurisdiction with their wives and children, and find another suitable place to settle down.

"Seeing that everyone is about to disperse, the person who proposed to break up with the Xu family stood up again and said to everyone, don't be impatient, everyone, and listen to me. If what I said is reasonable, everyone may as well stay Come down and continue to discuss. If what I said is unreasonable, it is not too late for everyone to escape. After hearing what he said, everyone stopped, and looked at each other, not knowing what this person would say. Just listen The man said loudly, "We just killed this dog thief. It took only half an hour before and after. Wuyou City is two or three hundred miles away from us. How could we know that this dog thief is dead immediately? That temptress Xu Fei has a prophet He sent soldiers and horses to ambush outside the city, otherwise, even if the Xu family's soldiers and horses had wings, they would not have arrived outside the city immediately. Therefore, this matter is strange, everyone don't need to panic!

"Everyone suddenly realized what the man said, and they all nodded in agreement. Someone said loudly, yes, yes! The body of this dog thief is still hot. How could the news spread so quickly? There was a dead silence in the room, but at this moment It became lively. It's just that many people thought to themselves, even if it wasn't the soldiers sent by the Xu family, maybe the city lord of the nearby city heard the news and sent people to rescue this dog thief! Our city is just a It's nothing more than a stockade made of stones. There are only a hundred soldiers in the stockade. How can it resist the attack of the army?
"The man saw that everyone was not as frightened as he was just now, and continued to say, but it is not a good thing to have soldiers and horses approaching. We must take precautions early to avoid being taken advantage of by the enemy. In my opinion, it is better to let the city lord preside over it." For the important matter of defending the city, at the same time, select smart and capable people, and immediately go to the surrounding cities to discuss alliances with the city lords. At this time, everyone is very convinced of him and regards him as the backbone. Objection. At that time, the city lord had already woken up from the panic, knowing that he had been forced to the edge of the cliff by the Xu family, and there was no way out, so he had to put all his eggs in one basket and fight to the death with the Xu family. Therefore, after listening to that person, The lord of the city immediately issued orders, ordering all men, women, old and children in the city to board the stone city to prevent the enemy from attacking the city. At the same time, he recruited a few of his followers and asked them to ride out of the city immediately and rush to several surrounding cities before the enemy army besieged the city. Meet with the city lord and discuss forming an alliance to deal with the Xu family.

"It's just that the city lord hadn't had time to lead people to the stone city, and someone came to report that there were three groups of people outside the city, each with about 30 people, and they stopped outside the west gate and didn't rush into the city. They claimed that It was an envoy sent by the city lords of the three cities near the left, saying that they had important matters to discuss with the city lords.

"After the city lord heard the report, he was startled and puzzled. He thought to himself that I was about to send someone to visit the city lords of several nearby cities. Unexpectedly, the envoys had not yet set off, but the other party sent people to the city. They didn't know if they had any important matters to discuss with me. Fortunately, each of them only came with more than [-] people, and they didn't look like they were going to turn against me. You might as well put them in the city first and listen to what they have to say.

"The city lord made up his mind, and discussed with the person who proposed to break with the Xu family just now, and then he led his people to the west gate in person. There were about fifty or sixty riders outside the city. Although they had weapons hanging from their waists, But there was no banner erected, and it didn't look like they were coming to conquest. The city lord felt relieved and led people out of the city. When those people saw the city lord arrived, they got off their horses one after another, bowed and saluted, and spoke very respectfully.

"The city lord bowed his hands and asked why these people came here. The leader told the story, the city lord could hardly believe his ears, and looked at each other with his subordinates. Everyone was full of surprises. It turned out that after the sons of Xu Fu's eldest daughter left Wuyou City, they went to various cities to show off their power and coerce the city lords to donate gold, silver, jewelry and beautiful women. If they disobeyed their wishes, their lives would be in danger. Two city lords were killed by these people, and five city lords were tortured in public. If their family members and subordinates were not clever and saw that the situation was not good, they immediately sent gold, silver, jewelry and beauties. These five city lords would have died Not guaranteed.

"After the news spread, all the city owners were in danger. Some city owners were afraid of the power of the Xu family, and before the son of Xu Fu's eldest daughter arrived, they had already prepared gold, silver, jewelry and beauties in advance, and waited for them to enter the city. That is to give gifts to curry favor in order to protect themselves. However, several city lords have long been dissatisfied with the Xu family and have always had a rebellious heart. It is just because the Xu family is powerful that they dare not do it easily. At this time, I heard that the eldest daughter of Xu Fu sent her The son patrolled the cities, not to mention extortion, he even killed two city lords, he also beat and scolded other city lords, it was very rude, these city lords discussed in secret, and finally decided to rebel against the Xu family, After the matter is completed, the territory of the Xu family will be divided equally between the city owners. These city owners know that the city owners of other cities also hate the Xu family. Since they want to break with the Xu family, the more city owners involved in this matter, the better, so they sent The envoys went to various cities to meet the city lords and discuss the matter of jointly rebelling against the Xu family. All the city lords hated the Xu family for a long time, but no one raised their arms, so they endured it. Turning his face, he was overjoyed immediately, and they all swore and swore that they would not be at odds with the Xu family."
