When Xu Mu and his men arrived in a hurry, they took a closer look and saw that the young man who threw the snowball had been knocked to the ground.
Kicking his legs, he kept picking up snowballs, looking up at his face full of blood, crying and cursing, and throwing them away randomly.
"My lord, you have gorgeous robes and armor, and you are wearing a sheep felt. I must be from Xilong."
"Mr. Wenlong...is he a Liangzhou native with tough folk customs?"
"Lord, it's hard to tell if there are any aliens." Jia Zhou's voice was helpless.
"Si Hu, go rescue people first."
Xu Mu had already recognized that the one fighting them was another group of stickmen, about a dozen of them, each holding swords and clubs.
Looking at it again, these Liangzhou guards were not at a disadvantage. It's just that the young master's miserable cry really made people think astray.
Si Hu led more than ten Qinglong battalions to kill them, and in less than a few blinks of an eye, he killed the other gang of stickmen back.
Perhaps they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob them. After the encounter, the remaining seven or eight stick men quickly ran away with their knives in hand.
There are three million stickmen in the Daji. Of course, this is just an exaggerated figure. In reality, if fully calculated, the number of the entire Daji is only a few hundred thousand.
The young master got up from the ground. When he saw Xu Mu, he thought it was the second group of cutters and hurriedly bent down to pick up the snowball again.
"Mr. Wenlong, call me a horse number."
In the cold wind and snow, after only a moment, the young master suddenly became beaming when he heard the sound of the horse's horn.
"The young Marquis asked me to wait for you. Don't say anything for now and find a place to take shelter."
The siege battle in Mei County is still going on. After the city gate is broken, those dog officers and soldiers will definitely rush into the city. Don't expect any appeasement. To put it bluntly, it is not unreasonable to kill good people and take credit. possible.
I have seen a lot of things like this at the border.
The safest way is to wait until everything settles before finding a way to leave Mei County. And there's another point. The young Marquis took so much trouble to bypass the officers and soldiers. He definitely didn't want too many people to know the secret inside.
"Master, there is an old alley here."
"There is no perfect path for anyone, even if God doesn't pity me and my father doesn't bless me -"
The young prince Dong Wen, who was still saluting and bowing, was directly carried on Si Hu's shoulders and ran forward in a hurry.
All around, there were the miserable screams of the rebels and the roars of the officers and soldiers. The sounds sounded like they were shattering the wind and snow.
"Daping Kingdom! My emperor came to the city in person to supervise the battle!"
"The heroes of the world gather together to create a new world."
On the city in the distance, countless people were crowded, shot to death by waves of flying arrows. Many shabby people were bewitched and rushed to the top of the city like crazy, taking their place.
He had seen scenes like this many times, and it was still hard for him to let go.
Zhuge Fan told him not to be a passer-by in this life. Just like walking on a horse and watching flowers, you can go through life without any surprises.
"Lord, let's go."
Xu Mu took heavy steps and walked coldly into the alleyway with Jia Zhou, following Si Hu's figure in front.
…
"Master, it's night."
In the dark cellar, two heroes from the Qinglong Battalion found an old lantern. After lighting it, they turned it to the weakest level, leaving only an extremely weak light, reflecting a shallow brightness.
"That's it. My father doesn't like me, so he asked me to take this baggage into the inner city and hand it over."
With a trembling voice, Dong Wen took out a small bundle from his arms and held it for a long time, wondering whether he should hand it over.
Xu Mu sighed, this young prince of Liangzhou was really stupid. If it were another person trying to swindle treasures, he would have succeeded by now.
"I'll take you out, and you can leave it to the Marquis yourself."
Xu Mu was not very interested in the contents inside. This time, it was actually a helping hand.
After the matter was successful, he hoped to wait for something as good as a private soldier's notarization from Yuan Tao.
Dong Wen was startled, and hurriedly took back the small bundle. Unexpectedly, after some delay, his hand shook and the whole thing fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Before he could take a closer look, Dong Wen had already bent down, picked up the things, and wrapped them into the bundle again.
Xu Mu was speechless for a while.
After all, he is a young prince from Liangzhou, and half of the promised strong folk customs are gone.
"My dear boss, what's going on tonight? There seems to be an attack on the city outside." Dong Wen put away his baggage and asked anxiously.
Even Xu Mu didn't expect that these seven thousand rebels would be so powerful. They were much stronger than Dangyang County at that time.
Of course, the fact that people are constantly being deceived and helping to defend the city is also the key.
But no matter what, the entire city is now surrounded, and it is absolutely impossible to escape.
"My father said that if anyone else discovers this little bundle except for the Marquis, I will be beheaded."
Xu Mu's heart sank.
He knew without thinking that something that Yuan Tao cared about so much must be very important.
"Let's rest for now and think of a solution tomorrow."
The wind and snow are getting stronger and the sky is getting darker. Given the nature of the Daji officers and soldiers, they will not brave the snowy night to attack the city.
Dong Wen hesitated for a moment and was anxious to ask a few more questions, but seeing Xu Mu's look, he had no choice but to hold his head and huddle in the corner.
A Liangzhou guard came over and covered him with a warm robe.
"I don't know martial arts, and I don't know how to organize troops. This time, I might be in trouble."
Xu Mu felt a headache.
In this short period of time, the young prince of Liangzhou in front of him could not tell how many times he had complained.
Fortunately, after chatting for a while, Dong Wen was weak and fell asleep quickly.
"Master, why don't you and I go to the house and have a look." Jia Zhou stood up slowly, his voice a little heavy.
In front of outsiders, he rarely calls Xu Mu his lord, but his boss.
"That's easy to say."
Xu Mu also stood up, knowing in his heart that Jia Zhou had something to say.
After leaving the cellar, the two of them walked slowly to a corner next to the house.
The wind and snow were still howling outside, and occasionally you could still hear the angry shouts of the rebel leaders running on horseback.
"Lord, let's stop fighting."
"indeed."
As Xu Mu expected, it was unlikely that they would fight at night in such windy and snowy weather.
"Lord, I just saw you."
"What do you see?" Xu Mu was startled.
"The things in the baggage of the young prince of Liangzhou. This thing made me think about some things clearly. For example... the young prince is going to decide the country."
"Wenlong, what is it?"
"Tiger Talisman, a Tiger Talisman for mobilizing troops."
Xu Mudun was on the spot, and of course he knew the meaning of the tiger talisman, which was used to mobilize troops into the camp.
"Lord, this is more likely to be a tiger charm from the Liangzhou Army." Jia Zhou spoke in a deep voice.
Xu Mu's chest felt heavy. This also explains why Yuan Tao cares so much about these envoys from Liangzhou.
I had heard Jia He say before that Yuan Tao was equal to the kindness of rebuilding the Liangzhou royal family, and it seemed reasonable to offer the tiger talisman.
"Lord, what do you think now?"
Xu Mu remained silent. The main reason why he respects Yuan Tao is that as a man outside the world, he understands the value of loyalty.
Moreover, he did not mean that he would follow Yuan Tao's wishes and step into Daji's court. Seriously, it's more of an employment relationship. No one except Yuan Tao was willing to give him the notarization of private soldiers, weapons, robes and armor he needed.
"Lord, you and I have to witness the rise or collapse of a dynasty." Jia Zhou cupped his hands and bowed to the sky.
Standing in the house, Xu Mu suddenly realized that his whole body was completely cold.
