At the south gate of the inner city, the afternoon sunlight became a bit scorching after being piled up, but it was nothing compared to the voices of people gathered outside the city gate.
Everyone was clamoring to go home. The originally spacious street was crowded with people, and it spread for at least one kilometer from the city gate. Mu Qing was crowded in the crowd. As far as he could see, there were people with their heads raised and anxious faces. When someone shouted for help, When they go home, they will wave their hands and follow at the top of their lungs: "Go home! Go home!"
Mu Qing grabbed the person next to him and asked in a deep voice: "Didn't you agree to wait three days? Why is everyone running here?"
The man slapped Mu Qing's hand away, looked at him warily and said, "Where did you come out to find out the news? Do we need a reason to go home?"
Mu Qing was helpless and silently followed the crowd forward, hearing many complaints. Finally, he withdrew from the crowd and walked towards a remote section of the city wall. Unexpectedly, there were many people gathering under the wall, preparing to climb over the wall with ladders.
When they saw Mu Qing's face full of nervousness, Mu Qing had no choice but to walk further before flying into the inner city.
Behind the city gate separated by a wall, Mu Qing found Xing Fei, who was standing silently at the front of the soldiers. After Xing Fei handed the scene to the deputy general beside him, he and Mu Qing returned to the camp alone.
Mu Qing looked at Xing Fei's face and asked: "Have you not rested? You look very bad. I don't have Wanhua Dan here, but I have a bottle of Nourishing Pill."
After Xing Fei took it, he seemed to take a breath, cheered up a little, and then asked: "Isn't the date of negotiation set for tomorrow? Is there something urgent?"
Mu Qing replied: "Chen Zhuo came to me last night and said that many people want to contact you, and those people outside need to return to the inner city."
Xing Fei glanced at Mu Qing and said nothing.
Mu Qing said: "A large number of people outside follow the crowd, but I also heard a lot of complaints from people."
Xing Fei waved his hand to signal Mu Qing not to say anything further, and said with a wry smile: "I've been hearing about it since dawn, and I want to be quiet for a while."
After a moment of silence, Xing Fei sighed and said: "I thought that after arranging their food, food and accommodation, they would be a little quieter, but I didn't expect that after only a day and a half, they couldn't stay any longer. ”
After putting himself in Mu Qing's shoes, he actually understood the thoughts of those outside. He said: "Home can give people the greatest sense of security, which is unmatched by other places. Moreover, some inconspicuous problems can also be solved with the extension of time and the guidance of caring people." , it became a lot more concentrated.”
Xing Fei glanced at Mu Qing in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to think of this."
Mu Qing said calmly: "I had some guesses when Chen Zhuo mentioned this to me, and I'm afraid you don't know that I am a familiar face among them now, even though I haven't met them yet."
Xing Fei suddenly felt sympathy for the young man in front of him. After thinking about it, he asked: "You should know that the emperor will fight back, right?"
"Of course, I have some preparations for this, you don't have to worry." Mu Qing looked at Xing Fei who looked tired and said seriously: "I'm really curious why you have to delay it for a day or two? You know how many more people there are in the inner city. Thousands of people, their lives have been affected, and many people are resentful towards you."
Xing Fei's face was a little complicated.
Mu Qing frowned, remembering what Xing Fei said before, and asked in a deep voice: "Is it because of Ge Shan that you haven't seen him yet?"
Xing Fei nodded and shook his head, and replied after a while: "I arranged manpower to guard each exit day and night. If Geshan wanted to see me, we would have seen him long ago. I suspect that he was watched, no Chance."
Mu Qing's face became much colder and asked: "So, you actually still think Bai Hao is not dead?"
Xing Fei said: "Don't get me wrong. The efforts of you and Suzaku are obvious to all. I just want to eliminate risks as much as possible."
Mu Qing was silent for a moment. He believed that Murong Jing killed Bai Hao's body spiritual consciousness and blood essence that escaped, and he killed Bai Hao's clone. Unless Bai Hao had anticipated the outcome in advance and prepared another one. clone...
Mu Qing shook his head. If Bai Hao had the ability to calculate to this point, then he would not end up like this.
Suddenly, the noise across the wall suddenly became much louder, and it broke into the military tent. Almost at the same time, the sound came along with the soldiers who reported: "General, they don't know where they found the battering ram." , already hitting the city gate."
Xing Fei stood up, but the soldier did not leave, obviously waiting for his order.
Mu Qing also stood up. He saw Xing Fei's confusion at this time and said: "Most of the siege equipment was provided by the city defense army. Many of them should have agreed."
While Mu Qing was talking, several people wearing heavy armor broke in. They ignored Mu Qing's presence and knelt down on one knee. They asked for orders: "Brother, let us lead the five hundred heavy cavalry and charge forward for a while. Keep them safe." All those people with evil eyes will die!"
Mu Qing kept silent, he could think of these generals in the Guards Army, and they even reacted much faster than him, and actually planned to directly fight back with iron blood.
Xing Fei had calmed down at this time, looked at the generals kneeling in front of him with a cold face, and said: "If you rush like this, only the common people will die, and those people will only stand in the distance and applaud us. .”
"Brother! They are forcing us. If this continues, even if all our guards shout that we are protecting them, these people will not believe it. These stupid people, showing kindness is far worse than showing power!"
"Mu Qing, what do you think?"
As soon as Xing Fei said this, everyone else in the tent looked over. Mu Qing was slightly startled and thought: "Now that Suzaku City is far more stable, some people outside are starting to think about fighting for power and profit. Is it better to find an opportunity to fight back fiercely?" It is necessary, but these people who have been deceived and exploited are not worthy of death, so we simply open the city gate and let them in."
"Who are you? Who are you?" A man who was kneeling on the ground stood up, pointed at Mu Qing's nose and cursed.
Some people also knew who Mu Qing was from Xing Fei's title. While pulling his agitated brother, he looked at Mu Qing seriously.
It's not that they are not calm enough. Although people around Mu Qing are used to him doing things that are difficult for ordinary people to do from time to time, these people who are qualified to know Mu Qing's name only after hearing his name are all guessing about Mu Qing. At least around thirty years old.
Mu Qing looked at Xing Fei and saw that there was no hesitation on Xing Fei's face. He felt a little more real in his heart and said in a deep voice: "When those people outside enter the city, let's go down and take a look."
Xing Fei was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily and agreed.
