To Zheng Anping's surprise, both Masan and the city owner stood firm in the car. This is not easy: I can’t even stand firmly when taking a bus today. At that time, the bus had no tires and the ground was not a road, but almost a gravel road in the countryside. The car bumps were very severe. Zheng Anping had the background to go to school as a child, so it was very difficult to maintain balance. It's okay for the city lord to say, but could it be that Masan also...
Masan said in a deep voice: "Are those two people still in the city?"
The city lord said nothing.
"When Qingzhuang leaves the city, let them take advantage of the chaos and leave!" Masan said again.
The city lord snorted and said, "This brother..."
Masan said: "Brother Zheng, it's okay!"
The city lord said: "This little boy with a yellow mouth is not a great weapon! He actually caused such a big thing!"
Masan said: "Save the lives of the whole city first. Let Jingzhuang leave the city and be a pioneer as long as he is a pioneer. Save one life first."
The city lord said: "That's all we can do. ...What should the women and children in the city do?"
Masan said: "Mr. Xinling has a kind heart, so the women and children in the city will only be kept as hostages. As long as there are no accidents among the people outside the city, there will be no trouble in the city."
The city lord said: "Third brother trusts Lord Xinling so much!"
Masan said: "My brother and Lord Xinling have a close relationship, and I have traveled with his disciples for three journeys, and have often been friends with him. Lord Xinling is known throughout the world for his trustworthiness, and when I see him, it is indeed true."
The city lord sighed: "Our city has been established for hundreds of years. Once..."
Masan said: "Hasn't the city lord been conscious a long time ago? It's not easy to sleep peacefully for a hundred years on the side of the beam. Sooner or later, he will belong to someone else. He will belong to Lord Xinling, not bad!"
The city lord sighed: "In troubled times..., in troubled times..., life is not as good as a dog..."
Zheng Anping drove the car and listened to the two people talking about big things. His heart felt hot and cold, and he felt an indescribable feeling. But there was no emotion on his face, as if he was taming the four horses wholeheartedly.
Not long after, the car arrived at the square in front of the small town. The city lord shouted "open the city" in the car and jumped out of the car; Masan said to Zheng Anping "wait here" and also jumped out of the car. The city gate opened and the two entered the city, leaving Zheng Anping alone in the car.
Zheng Anping subconsciously looked at the small hut on the edge of the city. The door of the hut was closed. Zheng Anping couldn't help but feel a little distracted when he thought about what happened today. In the morning, I was sleeping peacefully in this hut, but I couldn't help but be involved in an assassination case. The target of the assassination turned out to be Lord Xinling, and he unexpectedly rushed up and received two sword blows for no reason...
A pain in his chest called him back. "Mr. Zhongyue's medicine is really good. I took the medicine in the evening and now I can drive!" Zheng Anping was unexpectedly satisfied. "It seems that it won't take long to recover."
Masan is really weird. He usually doesn't seem to have much potential, but he is so outstanding at critical moments... Not only is he good at driving, but he is also very familiar with the city lord. Moreover, he seems to know everything about the assassination... Who is he?
"Brother Zheng, it's okay!" Ma San seemed to have never said anything to him before, so why did he trust himself so much at the critical moment?
Zheng Anping intuitively felt that he was in a huge trouble, "But maybe it's a turning point!" Today he also got in touch with the aloof Lord Xinling, and got acquainted with Masan again, whom he thought he knew very well. It seems to have some extraordinary origins. "You must never offend anyone, and you must never reject anyone!" he said to himself. It's hard, but it has to be. He had an intuition that if he took one wrong step, he would be in an abyss; if he went online smoothly, it might be a turning point in his life. He couldn't see what was ahead and could only wait passively.
The city was buzzing with people, angry yelling, women sobbing, children crying... interspersed with the sounds of chickens and dogs, the neighing of horses and the low roars of cattle and sheep.
A voice overpowered these noises and reached Zheng Anping's ears clearly: "A man must be bloody and able to protect the women and children in the city. What are you afraid of when you go out to fight? You are a man, no one will fight! Don't be a coward." , if you make people look down on you, then you are nothing!”
Someone asked something, and the voice said: "My youngest son is thirteen years old this year, and I am sixty years old. We are all going out of the city. The men in the city, those older than my youngest son and younger than me, are all young and strong. All leave the city! Bring equipment... No? Lock the door bolts at home! Bring as much grain as possible! Don't delay, wait for the beheading when the army arrives!"
Soon, the city gate opened again, and a carriage came out first. The leader, Yingying Chuochuo, is the city lord, followed by his sons, who are very capable, holding long poles in their hands, and line up facing the city gate. Afterwards, people came out one after another, some were capable, and the things in their hands looked like that; some were miscellaneous, and they didn't know what they were holding in their hands. Slowly, many people stood on the field. Ma San finally came out and said to the city lord: "No more!"
The city lord called a name and asked if everyone was here, and everyone whose name was called answered "all of them". The city lord said: "Count the number of people! ...There are one hundred and sixteen people in total! Form a team! Cheer up! Don't let others look down upon you!"
As soon as the formation here ended, the Wei army's outpost arrived. Seeing people lining up in front of the city from a distance, they stopped advancing and went to explore the outposts on both sides. Soon, the sound of trumpets came from the Wei army.
Masan led the city lord and his vehicle towards Zheng Anping. He asked the city lord to wait in front of the square, got into Zheng Anping's car, pointed to the direction where Wei Jun came from, and said to Zheng Anping: "Brother, let's go there!"
Zheng Anping waved the reins lightly, led the chariot over, and drove slowly towards the main road. Soon he met the front of the Wei army who was lining up. Ma San took out a talisman from his arms and held it high in his hand. Zheng Anping still maintained a gentle speed and drove towards the formation gate. The officer guarding the formation gate checked the talisman and waved to let him go. Zheng Anping drove through the formation and came to the flag and drum carriage of the front army. He jumped out of the car, held the talisman in his hand, saluted and reported: "The general has accepted the defeat of the city, and the front army is on standby!" It was the person who was supervising the front army. Jin Bi, he waved expressionlessly: "Got it!" Masan got on the car again, passed through the front army, went to the middle army, and once again conveyed the news of the city's surrender to Mang Mao, who was in charge of the middle army. Later, Lord Xinling of the Hou Army was found. As the front army formed a formation, the middle army and the rear army also stopped advancing and turned into formation. At this time, Lord Xinling stood in front of the flag and drum chariot, climbed on a larger stone, and watched the rear army line up. Ma San reported that the young men in the city had left the city. Lord Xinling looked at Zhang Ye and Zhong Yue and said, "We'll go there!"
Zheng Anping got out of the car and handed it back to Xiahou. Xinlingjun and Mangshen got into the car one on the left and the other on the right. Less than a hundred people, including the postmen and warriors who had followed the carriage, as well as the retainers who had not entered the procession, followed behind the carriage.
When passing by the central army and the front army, Lord Xinling said a few words to Mang Mao and Jin Bi, and asked them to order the entire army to sit down and rest. He went to the front to accept the city lord's confession.
