"Sister Yuan, are you going to abandon me at the border?!" Anyu's face that had not been raised for a long time appeared in front of Sheng Yuan again. He who always liked to cry, now looked at her with a pair of red eyes. , with accusations like "You are so heartless" written all over his face.
Seeing him staggering towards her, Sheng Yuan felt the alarm bell ringing in her ears.
Wiping her face, she jumped over with lightning speed, tightly grasped An Yu's hands that were originally intended to condemn her, and spoke first: "I did that just to have no worries, who told you It’s too important! Of course, if you’re not happy, then let this matter go and just pretend that I haven’t explained it to Chengdong! So good!”
"..." Anyu blinked.
Sister Yuan didn't steal his words, but why did he feel like everything he wanted to say was blocked?
Seeing his confused expression, Sheng Yuan realized that he had been fooled, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, ready to make persistent efforts to further consolidate the good results.
That's why Anyu was about to open his mouth when Sheng Yuan asked him decisively: "Choose one of two, either don't mention this matter again, or I'll knock you out and send you away!"
"..." Anyu looked at Sheng Yuan in disbelief, his eyes almost filled with tears.
"Don't cry! If you cry, just pack it up and send it away!" Sheng Yuan glared at him.
Immediately, the tears that were about to well up suddenly disappeared.
"Hmph!" Although Anyu dared to be angry but dared not speak out, he still bravely shook his head and snorted to express his dissatisfaction.
"Since you don't plan to leave, then keep working!" Unfortunately, Sheng Yuan was used to being thick-skinned, so she didn't feel embarrassed at all, and shouted openly to arrange work for him.
Anyu was still dizzy when he walked out of the study with a stack of war preparation manuals.
He just seemed, seemed, probably... to attack Sister Yuan's ruthless move, right? !
Unwilling to do so, he wanted to go back and protest with Sheng Yuan, but as soon as he raised his feet, he saw her raised fist from the window.
In an instant, Anyu's feet seemed to have a consciousness of their own. He turned around on his toes without hesitation and left!
Humph, this is not who he is afraid of! Who makes him a hero in Kyoto!
He who knows the current affairs is a hero!
…
[Sister Yuan, are you trying to trick him? 】The system knows its own host very well. If it is so easy to change its mind, it is not Shengyuan.
Unfortunately, this time, it really didn't guess.
"It's not entirely a lie." Sheng Yuan sighed helplessly, "Brother Yu looks naive and loves to cry, but he is actually very smart. Since he is on guard, it is impossible to arrange him according to the plan. .”
Seeing that the war was imminent, Sheng Yuan had many things to arrange, and he really didn't have the energy to fight with that guy in a back-and-forth battle of wits.
"Forget it! If he and I were to end up here, then...it would also be his life!" He said this, but due to Anyu's lack of cooperation, Shengyuan had no choice but to sit down at his desk and continue to work on the original plan.
"Since both the enemy and us can only live one, then let's let Ajong lead the dog with those gangsters!"
…
The atmosphere in Shou'an City has become increasingly tense recently. Not only the people in the city, but also people in the prefectures, counties, towns and villages have felt this unusual change.
It wasn't until the official school propaganda team appeared on the rural road beating gongs that the people in Fucheng found the point where the atmosphere changed.
"Have you heard that the Lord is going to hold a public trial... By the way, what is a public trial?"
"Hey! I saw that you didn't listen well just now! Didn't the official school students just say that there is a rip-off in our Shou'an City, and they plan to sell our men and women, old and young, to Ajong in exchange for their wealth! The public trial meeting is to judge them. !”
"I know what you're saying, but isn't that just a trial in a government office? Why did you change the word to a public trial meeting?"
"Ah this..."
"Don't do this or that! I just asked someone from the official school, and they said that this public trial is to let all the people in the city watch those traitors commit suicide!"
"Be a good boy, you can see them all! This... even though the city is big, it can't be conquered by so many people. Let's take a look together!"
"Then I don't know."
"Hey! We don't understand, but all the students from the official school do. I'll wait until I chase after you and ask!"
"Yes, yes, let's go with you!"
"Let's go together! Let's go together! Let's go too!"
…
The day before the public trial, Zhang Pingqi, who was supposed to have withdrawn from Shou'an City, appeared in the palace together with Jia Shang and Han Yongji.
"Why are you three here today?" Sheng Yuan went straight to the point and asked them what their purpose was.
At this time, she was able to find time to meet with them because she was busy, so she did not want to waste time on greetings.
"Although we are just a female class, we still want to do our best to defend the city for Lord Fu Zun."
The three of them went straight to the topic as soon as they opened their mouths.
Although Sheng Yuan has not publicly announced the difficulties that Fucheng is about to face, there is always a shortage of smart people in this world. Those with brains can guess correctly based on the recent trends in Fucheng.
"I remember that Mrs. Zhang is not planning to leave through the Nurhan seaport? Could it be that the situation in Nurhan is tense and it is too risky to go to sea from there?"
Sheng Yuan glanced over the three of them, first focusing on Zhang Pingqi's face, and then looking at Han Yongji: "How come the Han family girl didn't withdraw from the border with her friends guarding Ningcheng?"
She had just proposed to publicly interrogate certain families, and these three people appeared in the palace. Sheng Yuan felt that it was too coincidental, so she did not intend to give anyone face, so as to save the other party from being embarrassed to speak out.
As expected, after she finished speaking, the smile on Han Yongji's face became a little unnatural.
Jia Shang and Zhang Pingqi, on the other hand, were very calm, as if Sheng Yuan was really reminiscing with them.
Especially Zhang Pingqi, actually answered Sheng Yuan's question: "Mr. Fu Zun laughed, I was planning to leave before. However, I only got the information when I was about to set off, saying that Nuerhan is now, that's a lot of trouble The light of the sword and the shadow of the sword.
Not to mention getting close, but just looking at it from a distance, it might be affected.
It's not easy for me to accumulate this little family fortune, but I really can't afford to use their seaport... Instead of giving Nurhan an advantage, it would be better to stay with us and keep safe. It won't be an advantage for outsiders anyway. "
As soon as she finished speaking, Jia Shang immediately took over: "Nurhan has too much time to take care of himself, Ajong is ready to make a move, and the eight cities on the border have already become pieces on the chessboard. Only by saving ourselves can we gain a chance of survival, so we took the liberty I have come to bother you, Lord Fu, and I want to ask you, what should we do if we want to do our part?"
They spoke nicely, but Sheng Yuan heard the hidden meaning: "If Shou'an City wants to protect itself, the people in the city must work together... However, not all stones can be used to pave roads and build cities, and not all wood can be used to pave roads and build cities." If you can carve it into a vessel, you all have read the poems and books of the saints, and you should know that rotten wood cannot be carved."
Sheng Yuan's words were clear and clear. Jia Shang and the others heard it and hesitated for a moment before continuing to carefully test: "Rotten wood can also be put to good use. If you use them to win people's hearts, it will be worthwhile."
"Humph." Sheng Yuan suddenly chuckled when he heard this.
These two sneers immediately froze what the three of them wanted to say.
"The battle to defend the city is a matter of life and death."
Sheng Yuan looked at Jia Shang and the others with sharp eyes, and his emotionless gaze swept over them, making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
"I am the chief officer of Shou'an City, and it is my responsibility to defend the city. I should try my best to survive myself, the city, and the people! Anyone who wants to help Yi Di attack the city, I guarantee that before Shou'an City is destroyed, I will We must first help his entire family, young and old, fulfill their ancestors’ promise to defend the city! I will never break my promise!”
