The only person who understands the master's heart and supports him is probably his butler Cen Sheng.
Master Sun Zhicai sighed and whispered, "I hope it's him, but I don't hope it's him."
Listening to the master's words, housekeeper Cen Sheng could tell that the master was worried about Chunxu and the others.
"Master, do you think they can defeat the people of this court?" Housekeeper Cen Sheng asked.
Sun Zhicai shook his head: "Then let's see his ability."
So far, the master Sun Zhicai only knows about the situation of Sun Chunxu and the others, but he still doesn’t know about his eldest son Sun Junze, and he doesn’t have the money to find it.
After all, he has resigned from this official position and has no source of income. In order not to expose his whereabouts, Mr. Sun and his family stay at home almost every day.
Without rice and money, what would they eat? The housekeeper Cen Sheng usually does odd jobs outside, and the money he earns is exchanged for some rice and noodles.
Today's house doesn't look like a wealthy family at all. The backyard, which is supposed to be a place for enjoying flowers and scenery, is used by the family to raise chickens, ducks and livestock, while the front yard is empty. Most of the place is filled with firewood.
I live like a farmer but not like a farmer.
The next day, Chunxu and the others, who had been repairing in Taishan County for several days, had already started their journey towards Yishi Mansion.
At this moment, Yan Qiao, the prefect who was staying in Yishi Mansion, was so panicked that he choked on his water.
Just as he choked on his saliva, he heard an urgent voice coming over.
"Prefect!"
"Prefect!"
Hearing the sound, Magistrate Yan quickly wiped the water from his mouth, raised his head and looked at the person running in front of him.
"What's the matter, Guo Tongzhi, you're in a panic. But is there any news about supporting our Yishi Mansion?" Magistrate Yan Qiao asked with a smile on his face.
Fellow acquaintance Guo Wan shook his head. Perhaps he was in such a hurry when he came here and because of his fat figure, he couldn't speak for a while.
Seeing fellow magistrate Guo Wan like this, Magistrate Yan became anxious and asked again and again: "What's the matter? You tell me?"
When the prefect Yan Qiao asked, fellow prefect Guo Wan became even more anxious: "Yes... yes..."
But what it was, my colleague Guo Wan couldn't tell, because he was still out of breath.
"What's there? Just tell me." Magistrate Yan said anxiously.
"Yes..." As soon as he uttered one word, his colleague Guo Wan was too nervous to say it.
Looking at Guo Tongzhi's appearance, Magistrate Yan was more anxious than him. He looked at Guo Tongzhi with an anxious face, just waiting for him to say what he wanted to say.
Seeing that he was barely breathing, even though he couldn't say the words, he still had strength in his hands.
I saw fellow magistrate Guo Wan walking up to Magistrate Yan Qiao, taking a piece of white paper, picking up a brush from the inkstone on the side with his right hand, dipping it in ink, and started writing on the white paper.
Seeing Guo Tongzhi saying this, the prefect Yan Qiao took a few steps forward and looked aside.
After seeing it, Magistrate Yan was shocked: "You mean, those gangsters are coming to our city of Yishifu?"
Fellow advisor Guo Wan nodded.
After seeing Guo Tongzhi's actions, Yan Qiao said to himself: "It's terrible, it's terrible. The army that came to assist us hasn't come yet, but the gang of unruly people came first. If the city of Yishi Prefecture cannot be defended, what will happen to Yishi Prefecture?" A large area of Shi Mansion will be occupied by these unscrupulous people."

After a while, Magistrate Yan looked at his colleague Guo Wan, and when he was about to tell him something, he remembered what he looked like, so he had to look out the door and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Coincidentally, the person to be called did not come, but Master Shen, who had something to do, walked in.
Before Magistrate Yan Qiao could say a word, Master Shen spoke first: "Prefect, those unruly people are coming towards us."
Seeing Master Shen's anxious look, Yan Qiao, who knew it before him, seemed used to it: "I understand. Well, you go and instruct each city gate to close the city gates and not allow people to leave the city. In addition, everyone should do Be prepared to defeat the enemy."
"Okay." Master Shen responded.
"Master Shen, stay."
After hearing what Magistrate Yan Qiao said, Master Shen stopped and looked at Magistrate Yan Qiao with a yellow face: "Prefect, do you have anything else to explain?"
"Um... is there any news about the troops supporting us?" Magistrate Yan asked.
Master Shen shook his head: "Not yet."
"Okay, it's okay. Go and tell them quickly before it's too late."
"Okay, I'll go right away." After saying this, Master Shen hurriedly ran towards the various gates of Yishi Mansion.
Yishi Prefecture is larger than the counties under its jurisdiction and has an advantage in terms of population. It also has more city gates, with a total of eight city gates.
Because of the large number of people and the vast area, when the city gates were first built, a few more city gates were added to take into account the people's access and business transactions. Of course, these eight city gates were not the most in the eyes of the Mo Dynasty. , there can be more than ten city gates at most.
For some reason, Magistrate Yan Qiao's heart beat even harder.
He never expected that what was supposed to come would come.
Without the help of the imperial army, just relying on the thousands of soldiers in Yishi Mansion may not be able to defeat these unruly people.
Looking at fellow magistrate Guo Wan who was taking a deep breath, Magistrate Yan Qiao said: "Go down, if you spread the word like that, eat less and do more things in the future."
"Hey." Guo Tongzhi responded and walked out.
Now, the prefect Yan Qiao is the only one left in this house.
Seeing that after lingering in front of the desk for a few weeks, Magistrate Yan sat on the chair, then took a teacup and took a big sip of tea.
This action made him fear that he would never be able to drink tea again in the future.
"Prefect Yan has an order! Close the city gate! Everyone is in good condition! Prepare to defeat the enemy!" Master Shen rode on his horse and shouted loudly at the north gate.
Hearing Master Shen's shout and confirming that it was Master Shen, the soldiers at the city gate hurriedly closed the door.
After seeing these soldiers taking action, Master Shen rode his horse and ran towards the next city gate.
It seems that Master Shen is really a smart man. He knows that these city gates are quite far away, so he uses all the horses.
Not to mention, Master Shen is really majestic riding on this horse.
When the horse ran, the horse's hair, Master Shen's beard and hair danced along with it. Coupled with Master Shen's serious face, those who knew it was Master Shen, and those who didn't know thought it was Master Shen who appeared out of nowhere. The general.
Feeling that the horse's speed was too slow, Master Shen shouted: "Drive!"
The horse suddenly picked up speed and galloped through the streets of Yishi Fucheng. All the people who saw it hurriedly stepped aside.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Thanks to Master Shen's efforts, all eight gates of Yishi Mansion have been closed.
At this time, Chunxu and the others had already arrived at Yishi Mansion. Seeing that all the major gates of Yishi Mansion had been closed, they were a little surprised.
"Everyone! Stop!" Chunxu shouted.
After tens of thousands of brothers heard the sound, they stopped one after another and stood there with blank faces, waiting for orders.
"Brother Xu, why did you stop?" He Yuhong asked.
Glancing at the closed city gate, Chunxu said, "Why are the city gates always closed? Are there reinforcements?"
After listening to Chunxu's words, Zheng Zhui on the side was full of confidence and said: "Don't worry, brother Chunxu. These brothers have already explored and there are no reinforcements." Looking at the closed city gate, Zheng Zhui began to guess. : "They must be playing dirty tricks because they know they can't beat us. By closing the city gate, they're just bullying us because we don't have city-breaking vehicles and catapults."
Good guy, I don’t know whether Zheng Chui’s voice was too loud and could travel hundreds of meters or whether the soldiers at the city gate could read minds. As soon as Zheng Chui finished speaking, arrows from the sky flew over and almost hit him.
"Brothers! Be careful!" Chunxu shouted.
However, some of these brothers who went out without reading the almanac were really unlucky. They were killed in the battle just now.
Seeing that the second wave of arrows had not yet flown, Chunxu, who saw some of the dead brothers, shouted again: "Brothers! Spread out! Pay attention to cover! Brothers holding ladders go up first, and those who are dead go up later. , fight until the city gate! We will not imitate them, we will fight openly and honestly!"
"Yes! Let's fight fair and square! Beat him to pieces!" He Yuhong said courageously while holding a sword and gritting his teeth.
With Chunxu and He Yuhong's words, these brothers were not afraid immediately and started doing what Chunxu said.
I saw tens of thousands of brothers, some running all the way with long ladders, some running all the way with swords in their hands, and some brothers holding crossbows and long knives.
Although the weapons are a bit crude, the armor he wears is not crude. As mentioned before, a sharp knife immediately turns into a dull knife when it cuts on the armor.
How could the armor, which couldn't even hurt a sword, be afraid of hundreds of mere arrows?
Of course, armor is not a panacea. If you go out without reading the almanac and are extremely unlucky, the cunning arrows will escape the places covered by the armor and hit the vital parts.
The brothers who went out to read the almanac wore this armor and ran on the road to fight. It was almost like playing. As long as you are lucky, the arrows that hit the armor will be bent by you.
Soon, these tens of thousands of brothers had already rushed to the bottom of the city tower and set up ladders on the top of the city tower.
Although there are many people, it is better not to use them indiscriminately. It is better to attack these two city gates first. After entering the city, it is better to attack other cities.
The city gate is tightly closed. In terms of this advantage, the soldiers at the city gate still have an advantage.
The city gate is strong, and Chunxu and the others do not have city-breaking vehicles. Soldiers who want to hit the city tower can only use catapults, crossbows, etc. However, Chunxu and the others can only use crossbows, and the people who use these crossbows are not If there are too few, there is no guarantee that every arrow will hit the target.
The brothers who did not have bows and crossbows had no choice but to climb up the long ladder to the tower and fight on the tower.
Of course, don't underestimate these seemingly cowardly soldiers fighting on the city tower. They still have stones. They are holding stones one by one and throwing them towards the ladder on the city wall. Each stone is almost Take down the entire ladder.
