The corner of Xu Yin's mouth twitched. If he had been in another place, he might have rushed forward at this moment.
But facing these Shenwu troops under Liu Deng, he really felt a little scared now.
All the Shenwu Army used were large yellow crossbows. At such a close distance, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were electric and flint.
Moreover, the power of the big yellow crossbow was so strong that these soldiers were only about ten steps away from his position. At this distance, even if he was wearing heavy armor, they could not stop him at this time.
Moreover, just looking at the soldiers' steady wrists, one can tell that each of them is a well-trained veteran!
That bastard Liu Deng must have given them the strictest kill order before going out. As long as he made the slightest move, this kid would never let go of any opportunity to kill him.
"Go and tell your king that I want to see him!"
After a moment of silence, Xu Yin immediately calmed down.
A good man never suffers immediate losses. At this time, he doesn't want to just give these soldiers the credit for his promotion without knowing why.
"My king is busy now. If the king has some free time, he will naturally come to see the young master. Please be patient. There are five hundred divine warriors guarding your courtyard. No one will come. You’re disturbing the young master’s rest!”
Five hundred divine warriors?
When he heard this number, Xu Yin really wanted to give himself a hammer on the head.
What is this?
This is really shooting yourself in the foot!
He originally wanted to use Li Shaojun to get some benefits from Liu Deng.
But I never expected that Li Shaojun would be taken away by that kid for no apparent reason, and now he would actually be put under house arrest by this kid.
If there were dozens of knights and knights, he might still be able to fight his way out of the siege at this time with his own skills.
But now that these so-called personnel have been replaced by five hundred divine warriors, it is really not an easy task to escape.
There are fundamental differences between the army and ordinary knights and knights.
Especially an army with strict orders like the Shenwu Army.
The more people there are, the more powerful they are!
Even if Xu Yin was self-reliant, his martial arts was considered to be the best in the world, but if he rushed out under the nose of 500 divine warriors, he didn't feel confident at this time.
The last time I was in Buqicheng, it was just a fluke.
Although only a few crossbow arrows flew out of his body that time, they also left several blood marks on his body.
You know, he was wearing soft armor that day!
After what happened that time, he no longer dared to have any contempt for the Shenwu Army.
After all, it wouldn't be a shame for someone like him to die in Liu Deng's hands.
But if he died in the hands of those unknown people, it would really be a big deal in the world.
"You have the guts!"
Xu Yin fluttered his sleeves and went back to his room again. The remaining soldiers of the Shenwu Army were waiting in full formation one by one.
Looking at them from the crack in the door as if they were facing a formidable enemy, the little luck in Xu Yin's heart was completely thrown out of the sky by him.
Now these soldiers are all on guard. If he rushes out at this time, he may have been shot into a hedgehog before he has gone very far. Of course, he will not do such a stupid thing.
He simply took off his outer robe and lay down directly on the bed, closing his eyes and immediately began to rest with his eyes closed.
On the other side, Zhidu in the inn is really like an ant on a hot pot.
He has also sent out the carrier pigeon that sent the letter to the prince. Now it is up to him to see how he is going to deal with it.
Liu Deng only gave him three days, and even he couldn't guarantee that the prince's reply would arrive. After arriving at the inn, he sent a few followers out to inquire about it, and Zhidu knew about the mistakes Tao Qing had committed. A general impression.
Burning Chang Pingcang, framing Zhongliang, excluding dissidents, and even disobeying the emperor, these crimes piled up one after another. Even if he returns to Chang'an City, no matter how much the prince wants to protect Tao Qing, I am afraid that he will never His political life will also be completely ended.
Zhidu's mood is very complicated now. At this time, he really doesn't understand why the prince insists on protecting Tao Qing?
One is His Highness, the King of Dai, who is at the height of his power, and the other is a heinous sinner. Is there anything difficult to choose between these two people?
Zhi spent the whole night worrying about this problem.
But fortunately, it seems that he is not the only one who is suffering. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Chang'an City, plus His Majesty the Emperor who is already lying on the hospital bed in the palace, are all worried about Tao at this time. Qing's affairs are difficult.
Emperor Liu Heng was really disappointed with Tao Qing, but in order to maintain the integrity of the court, the charges listed by Liu Deng must not be placed on Tao Qing no matter what.
Tao Qing can die, but he must not die carrying these charges.
The emperor has reached his current age, and he is about to go to see Gaozu with his eyes closed.
Is it possible that when he goes underground, he will still be recorded in the history books by the younger generations for an unknown crime?
No matter how worried people in this world are, the sun will still rise as usual.
At dawn the next day, the people in Jinyang City finally heard the first good news in so many days.
Many grain merchants in the city have begun to open warehouses to stock grain, and the prices have actually returned to the prices before the fire.
All of a sudden, the people all over the city fell into ecstasy.
Suddenly, long queues formed in front of all the grain stores.
People are really scared of hunger, so the enthusiasm for food is really unprecedented.
"Boss, we can't do this. If this continues, we will have to close down in three to five days at most!"
Outside the door of Lin's old store, the crowd of people rushing to buy had already lined up two miles away.
The shopkeeper in the store looked at Lin Haishan sweating profusely. He really didn't understand what his master was doing.
“Stop talking nonsense, sell as much as you can, and when it’s sold out, it’s time to close!”
Lin Haishan let out a long sigh. Who could have allowed him to be confused and hoard so much food?
At this time, he can only lose money to avoid disaster.
Similar to the situation of the Lin family, most of the local merchants in Jinyang chose to obey Liu Deng's orders.
However, there are still no people outside the Sihai Trading Company's store.
The price of grain is still very low. The best polished rice costs 800 Wen per catty, and the worst aged broken rice is probably 500 Wen per pound.
And that's not all. They secretly sent all the clerks and hired a lot of people to queue up at major grain stores in Jinyang City to buy the low-priced grains they released.
