"Will they turn around and attack Ningcheng?!"
In the chilly spring weather, beads of sweat were rolling down the fat county magistrate's forehead!
He admits that he does not have any great ambitions, nor is he greedy for money and lust, and he is too lazy to follow the crowd and strive for fame and fortune.
His lifelong goal is to be a small county magistrate in this small Ningcheng City, with meat for three meals and no worries about food and clothing.
But what seems like a pitiful little ideal to outsiders is now going to be wiped out?
"no!"
He clenched his fist little by little until his nails pierced into his flesh. Feeling the pain, the fat county magistrate gritted his teeth viciously: "Ningcheng is my job! I will fight to the death of anyone who dares to touch it!"
After that, he didn't see him confessing to Xiao Han. He rushed down the city wall with red eyes and disappeared on the long street in the blink of an eye.
"Huh? What did he do?"
On the city wall, Xiao Han looked at the back of the fat magistrate strangely, and asked the dumbfounded magistrate and master over there with some confusion.
"Do you know... do you know?" When the county magistrate heard the question, he quickly answered with a sad face and cupped his hands in front of Xiao Han.
"Could he be packing up and preparing to run away?" Liu Hongji came up at this time, touched his chin, and said maliciously.
"Ahem, no, no!" The master next to the county magistrate coughed twice in embarrassment, and then grinned with a smile that was uglier than crying: "Go down and ask, ask!"
After saying that, the master quickly climbed down the city wall and rushed towards the place where the fat magistrate disappeared.
Both of them ran away, and suddenly only the county magistrate was left messy in the wind on top of the empty wall.
Seeing his confused and helpless look, Xiao Han didn't bother to embarrass him anymore and waved his hand directly: "Forget it, I don't need you to accompany me here, you can go and have a look too!"
"Thank you, thank you, Lord Marquis!" The county magistrate, who was restless, was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly lifted up his robe and rushed down to the city.
Watching the two of them run away one after another, Xiao Han gave a wry smile. As for where the county magistrate went at this time, he had already made a close guess in his mind.
"Dong dong dong..."
Sure enough, shortly after the county magistrate and the master left, a rapid drumbeat sounded in Ningcheng.
"Master! Do you think those people are here for Xiao Hou and the others? We are just the fish in the pond who have suffered disaster?"
In front of the dilapidated county government office, the fat county magistrate stood steadily on the steps with a dark face. Next to him, the master asked him in a low voice with an indignant look: "Otherwise, this would be too coincidental. ? Why did he say that someone was going to attack the city when he came?"
"Shut up!"
His face changed three times, but the fat magistrate finally scolded the master severely!
Is it still useful to talk about this now?
Is it possible that he could also tie up the two princes and princes, put a death card on their backs, and write a letter: If there is a grievance, take revenge, and if there is a hatred, take revenge! Then, with loud gongs and drums, it was delivered to the Li family outside the city in a lively manner?
"For today's plan, let's get through this first!" With a deep sigh, the fat county magistrate said in frustration.
The master was not angry because of the master's scolding, but continued to ask with a sad face: "But, if the Li family behind this is really Hedong, how can our small county be able to defend it..."
"Hmph! So what about our small county town?! As long as you go all out, no matter who comes, a few of its teeth will be knocked out! And..."
He spat bitterly, and the county's harmless face suddenly showed a bit of ferocity: "And I don't believe it, sir! They have a grand duke and a marquis, how dare they bring only a few dozen people with them." , come and risk yourself!"
Gods fight, mortals suffer!
Now, the fat county magistrate feels that he is that poor mortal, innocent and helpless!
But now that these two gods have set the battlefield on his territory!
Then he can neither sit at home nor want to die, he must do something for his own job! Even if it's trivial.
Thinking of this, the fat county magistrate took a deep breath and shouted loudly again to the county magistrate who was beating the drum: "Harder! Have you not eaten? After a while, the people came, and told them: If the city is broken, their The fate will be the same as those villages that were burned down! It is up to them to choose whether to live or die!
Also, tell Sun Ergou and the others who are hiding to get out! Now that the city gate is closed, where can they hide? Tell them that as long as they can defend the city and pass this test, I will go and explain to them the sin of disrespecting the Duke before, and I guarantee that they will be forgiven! "
It has to be said that the fat county magistrate, who has always been honest, still has some reputation in Ningcheng.
Under his stern scolding, the people in the city who had been summoned by the drums took up weapons one after another, with red eyes, ready to fight the enemy to the end for their homeland.
"Is what you just said true? Will they really come to attack the city?"
On the city wall, listening to the roaring roar coming from the city, Liu Hongji frowned, looked at Xiao Han and asked.
"Probably!" Xiao Han smiled, stretched out his hand to support the wall made of loess and said: "And, if my guess is correct, they will come in the next two days!"
"Why? Have you ever offended anyone from the Li family?" Hearing this, Liu Hongji took a breath of cold air and looked at Xiao Han with a look like a disaster star.
Damn it! What evil did this person do in his previous life? No matter where you go, you can’t live without peace!
From the grasslands to the desert, and then from the south of the Yangtze River to the south of the Five Ridges, every time you go to a place, don't you have to make heads rolling and blood flowing like rivers?
I originally thought that this time, going out to help the victims together would be considered as a good deed and make up for the previous killings.
Now it's good, I don't know if the virtue accumulation has increased, but it seems that the killing of sins will add a lot more!
I don’t know if when I go to the underworld in the future, Lord Hell will take a shovel and personally dig a basement for the two of them under the eighteenth level of hell...
"Li family? I've never even met anyone in their family, so why should I offend you?" Xiao Han also shrugged helplessly.
He didn't lie. From the moment he saw the burned village, Xiao Han had already discovered that someone was targeting him! It's just that at that time, he didn't know who the person behind it was.
Now, after judging from various clues that the person behind this was the Li family of Zhao County, Xiao Han felt extremely baffled.
It stands to reason that I have lived a low-key life in these years. I rarely even go to court, let alone have any conflicts with those wealthy families.
Why is it that even though I have pretended to be so harmless, someone still insists on staring at me and messing with me?
"Damn it! Since I'm not allowed to pretend to be a grandson, I won't pretend to be a grandson anymore!"
