Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
The daily shouting and beating of drums outside the city never stopped, and became more intense day by day.
Every blow seemed to hit the hearts of the people in the city, making them panic and restless.
In this high-pressure environment, even Su Qin had to change his habits and practice boxing almost from morning to night in order to vent his frustration and at the same time prepare for the upcoming destruction of the city. preparation.
The four corpses outside the hospital had already been taken away by shopkeepers and government officials patrolling the streets.
In the city, at first, everyone just regarded the rumors spread by Xizuo as rumors and ignored them. However, as they talked and heard more, their hearts began to waver.
"Are what these people say true?"
"Why are there so many craftsmen in the city who have not been arrested? Why do they treat them as craftsmen?"
"Why didn't the aristocratic families in the city send anyone to help defend the city? Don't they think they are optimistic about Yunshan City's army and think the city will be breached?"
…
Under daily fear, various suspicions continue to arise in the hearts of the people.
Even if there are people patrolling the streets during the day beating gongs and shouting to refute the rumors every day, once the seeds of doubt are sown in the hearts of the people, they are destined to be irreversible.
Especially since people in the city have begun to be forced to work as young men, everyone in Yunshan City is in danger.
Until this night——
Su Qin, who was sleeping lightly in the room, suddenly woke up and heard a shout of killing coming from the direction of the city gate.
"Night attack? Or is the city broken?"
Su Qin got out of bed, opened the door of the wing, quickly came to the yard, and listened.
When we came to the yard, the shouts of killing coming from the direction of the city gate became clearer, and there were even fires coming from far away from other directions?
At this time, Yuniang and Xueer also hurried out of the master bedroom, and Xiaotian followed them.
Now Xiao Tian is always protecting Yu Niang and her daughter, so Su Qin doesn't need to spend too much attention on protecting them.
"Brother Su, is the city broken?" Yu Niang hugged Xue'er with anxiety on her face.
"It's not clear yet, I want to go quietly on the roof... Xiaotian, take me up!"
Su Qin rode on Xiao Tian's back, jumped onto the roof with a slight leap, and reached the highest ridge in a few steps.
Here, you can clearly see the sudden light of fire in the direction of the city gate. Under the firelight, you can see many figures on the city wall rushing and interlacing, fighting fiercely.
Some martial arts masters jumped onto the roof and were instantly beaten into a hornet's nest by the archers on the city wall. Only a few escaped and were chased around by the martial arts masters in the city, shouting and killing for a while.
Su Qin looked in other directions and saw from a distance that some of the more important locations in the city were faintly glowing with fire, such as the direction of the government office and the government granary, and there were also sounds coming from the direction.
The nearby police officers rushed to help in those directions.
'It seems to be just a night attack... It should be that the city's spies suddenly attacked the government offices and granaries, and even set fire to them, in an attempt to coerce the people and cause a huge commotion, and attract some of the city guards...'
'At this time, a small group of martial arts masters outside the city cooperated with the careful operations in the city and directly launched a fierce attack on the city gate, trying to open the city gate... Unfortunately, they were discovered. The martial arts masters in the city's martial arts hall cooperated with the soldiers and directly suppressed them all... …'
Su Qin stood on the roof and made a quick judgment based on the information he saw.
"However, this raid did have a certain effect. For example... Yunshan City is becoming more and more chaotic tonight!"
On the roof, looking over, there were as few as three or five people, as many as more than ten people. Most of them were gangsters, and some were even members of certain gangs.
They came in groups, armed with knives and sticks, and took to the streets and entered homes.
Accompanied by the sounds of smashing, screams, crying, and ferocious laughter...
This group of people is not strong individually, but when there are many people, the destructive power of the collective is quite amazing. They bully the weak and fear the strong, so they only harm the common people. They dare not provoke the big families in the city.
When two groups of people meet on the street, they will try to avoid each other without conflict. Some will even say hello when they meet.
Only when they encounter someone who is alone, and after the negotiation fails, will they suddenly take action and attack in groups.
Su Qin saw a few skin-refining martial arts masters, claiming to be powerful in martial arts, and disdained to associate with these people. He went to the hospital to rob alone, and then came out with a bulging suit.
As soon as they came out, they met a dozen gangs who had just come out of a house. All of them had knives or daggers in their hands, stained with blood... The two sides failed to negotiate and started fighting. As a result, the martial artist killed three more people and directly Hacked to death with random knives!
In the end, the leading gangster chopped off his head with a knife, raised it above his head like a show off, and laughed loudly... Scarlet blood dripped from the top of his head and stained his face, making him look like a madman.
Su Qin didn't feel any pity for this kind of behavior that ended up being criticized. Instead, he said "Okay" to relieve his anger in his heart.
It's just that more tragedies in the city happen to ordinary people.
Many tragic images do not necessarily affect oneself. Even witnessing them is a kind of torture for oneself.
During this mob carnival, Su Qin stood on the roof and witnessed too many atrocities.
"Maybe the destruction of Yunshan City is a good thing..."
In the stalemate, no one maintained order in the city, and the only ones who suffered in the end were the civilians below.
The destruction of the city is of course a big bad thing for the officials and some wealthy families in the city, but it is not necessarily a bad thing for the people in the city.
"If the White Dragon Thief is really like what Yu Niang said, he will not rob or kidnap the refugees... After the city is broken, he will definitely maintain order, which is the greatest good thing for the people in the city!"
However, no matter how great a good thing is, Su Qin will not take risks to promote it. He only needs to guard this three-thirds of an acre of land.
It's not that he is cold-blooded, but that he can't do anything about it. There are many people in the city who are stronger and more capable than him, and among the aristocratic families in the city, which one is not more capable than him?
When will it be his turn to take the lead?
"In these troubled times, it's good to be able to hold on to your own life... huh?"
At this time, Su Qin noticed that in a house diagonally across from Yu Niang's house, six people were sneaking up and climbing over the wall with ladders.
If it was just like this, of course Su Qin would not pay special attention, but he noticed that among these six people, one of them happened to be one of the people who was peeping outside Yuniang's yard!
'these people……'
Su Qin took a few steps back from the roof, squatted down and hid.
He saw these people climbing over the wall to enter the hospital, and the last person put the ladder inside.
Soon, there were a few short screams that sounded like someone was stunned, and then silence returned.
But after a long time, no one came out.
"Brother Su, what's going on...Is the city broken? Why do I hear such chaos outside?"
Yu Niang's somewhat panicked voice pulled Su Qin out of the state of observation.
"The city has not been broken yet... wait until I come down,"
Su Qin glanced back at the courtyard, which was still quiet. He could only pat Xiaotian and jump back to the courtyard from the roof.
