Chapter 188: Xiaocheng Chaos (Twenty-Eight) [Two in One]


    Chen Tang woke up by smelling the scent of food.


    Open your eyes and cover a large leaf on top of your head.


    What is this?


    Chen Tang was stunned for a moment and raised his hand to brush it away. Without the blockage of leaves, the gorgeous golden light hanging high above her head sprinkled on her, making people unable to open their eyes. Chen Tang stood up with one arm, and then realized that his arms were weak and his stomach was rumbling and his empty city plan.


    At this time, a familiar man''s voice came from above his head, with a hint of joy and slackness: "Mr. Chen is awake."


    Zhai Le smiled and made a joke: "I''m right. Cook a pot of fragrant minced meat. Brother Chen will wake up naturally when he is so hungry."


    Chen Tang: “…”


    When you hear this title, you don’t have to look up and know who it is.


    Half-sitting up and asked, "Where are we now?"


    As soon as she woke up, she was still a little confused.


    "It''s still outside Xiaocheng."


    Chen Tang asked: "Is there any news that obscures them?


    "Not yet." Qi Shan shook his head regretfully, and then comforted him, "But Chu Wuhui and Gong Shu are both veterans on the battlefield. The two joined forces, even the brave warrior last night could not keep anyone. Chen Xiaolangjun doesn''t have to worry about their safety."


    Chen Tang had no choice but to temporarily suppress his worries.


    "Are you hungry?"


    Chen Tang had a white face, looked at him with no energy, and said weakly: "I''m hungry, starving to death, I don''t have much strength."


    Qi Shan turned around and served a bowl of meat porridge in a rough wooden bowl.


    After taking the bowl of meat porridge, I was about to hand it to my mouth and drink it all, the scene of yesterday''s rebel camp suddenly appeared in my mind, and the scene was a chaotic scene. The cattle and sheep wrapped in flames fled in the rear camp, and the rebel soldiers tried their best to put out the fire but lost their lives for it.


    The shrill scream soared into the sky as the fire swayed, and the air was filled with the strange smell of wood and fat burning.


    As soon as Chen Tang thought of the smell, he instantly lost his appetite for feasting, holding the warm and moderate meat porridge in his hands without saying a word.


    Qi Shan asked: "But it is not suitable for your appetite?"


    If he doesn''t like his appetite, he can only make up for it. His cooking skills are at this level. If he wants to eat something he likes, he can only wait for Chu Yao to come back.


    Chen Tang replied, "Suddenly I have no appetite."


    Qi Shan saw that she put the wooden bowl aside, and she didn''t force her to drink it. She just couldn''t help but complain in her heart - of course it was not complaining about Chen Tang, but Chu Yao. The old little husband Chen could eat anything, but when Chu Yao came, he learned to be picky about food!


    so what?


    This is all Chu Yao’s fault!


    Although Chen Tang didn''t know what he was thinking, he didn''t want to have a misunderstanding: "I suddenly remembered last night and didn''t want to touch the meat for the time being."


    After saying that, I felt a little pretentious. At this current condition, having a bite of food is a luxury that ordinary people cannot get, let alone a large bowl of meat porridge. The temperature was just right, most of it was specially warmed by Qishan, so she could taste it when she woke up.


    "So that''s the case, I''m not very concerned."


    The meat porridge was not wasted, and it finally got into Zhai Le''s stomach.


    At this time, Chen Tang had the time to observe the surrounding situation.


    The group was in a hidden valley with cliffs on three sides. The only exit was a stream, which was a good place to hide. You can see busy soldiers not far away, and the clothes look very familiar...


    Chen Tang suddenly remembered something.


    At this time, Yang Duwei''s loud voice sounded in his ears.


    "The righteous man finally woke up."


    Chen Tang held back the corner of his mouth, which was twitching.


    He said slightly unnaturally: "He is so brave..."


    She remembered it.


    I was exhausted last night, and the injuries caused by the battle were extremely tired. I slept to death as soon as I arrived at a safe place, and I had no dreams until dawn. The person who responded to them was the unlucky guy who had robbed the tax silver by her - Yang Duwei, the garrison of Xiaocheng!


    "Your Majesty dare not be a good man, so the righteous man can just call me ''Old Yang''. I have heard of the righteous man''s feat from Mr. Zhai, and I admire him very much. He is really a hero who is a young man."


    Yang Duwei had a national face, beard, thick eyebrows, majestic black eyes, and his pupils were leaning against him, looking a bit unkindly arrogant. He looked like an outsider who thought this person was stubborn and fierce when he saw it, but at this moment he forced a little kindness.


    Who can’t say awkward after reading it?


    Chen Tang: “…”


    Let her evaluate, this smile can scare the children in a class to cry. No matter how scary it is, no matter how scary it is, Chen Tang still gets the kindness he released. He showed a humble and obedient baby expression and said, "I dare not take it, I dare not take it."


    Yang Duwei’s impression of Chen Tang was greatly enhanced!


    Such young people who are capable, honest, do not benefit the people, are young but not proud, humble and polite!


    In particular, Chen Tang asked him about the situation of Xiaocheng and the rebels, and whether the rebels'' food, grass and supplies would be burned to withdraw, and Yang Duwei admired Chen Tang more and more.


    Trying to squeeze out a kind smile and stroke your beard: "I have sent someone to investigate. Once I have the intention to withdraw my troops, I will immediately send a message to the garrison in the city, and then attack inside and outside!"


    In fact, Yang Duwei wanted to send troops to attack the night last night.


    Considering that the number of people on our side was too small, the situation in the rebel camp was unclear, and the risk of sneak attack was too high, we gave up under Zhai Huan''s persuasion.


    Chen Tang: "Attack inside and outside? But I think the most urgent thing is to transfer the people as soon as possible, use the style of the rebels, and wait for them to recover. What is waiting for the people may be thunderous revenge."


    Yang Duwei also has concerns about this. He was about to speak when he heard a sound of horse hooves approaching quickly. It turned out that the scouts sent out were rushing back. Seeing the scout''s pale face, he rarely relaxed his face: "Don''t be anxious, speak slowly."


    In Yang Duwei''s opinion, even if it is not good news, it will not be bad news. There is always a relaxed smile on the corners of his lips.


    Who knows—


    The scout''s information was like a bolt from the blue.


    He chopped his head so blank.


    More than two hours ago, the rebels increased by 20,000 troops!


    Yang Duwei stood up suddenly, and the sound of a sudden burst.


    "Twenty thousand more troops? Where did the 20,000 troops come from?"


    However, the scout was afraid of revealing his identity and did not dare to ask too much. At this time, he was also unaware of it. He was so anxious that he was sweating heavily on his forehead, fearing that Yang Duwei would suddenly kill someone. Qi Shan, Chen Tang, Zhai Le and Zhai Huan who had just approached, the four of them instantly turned their faces.


    I thought that the night attack burned the rebels'' back camp''s supplies, food and grass could be exchanged for a breathing opportunity, and even if it was not good, I could squeeze out a few days to take the opportunity to transfer the people of Xiaocheng. But at this critical moment, 20,000 more troops emerged. Did these 20,000 troops fall from the sky? ? ?


    Yang Duwei knew the weight of these 20,000 soldiers and horses better than anyone else. He was so nervous that his hands and feet were cold and murmured: "There has not been any movement before..."


    Zhai Huan: "The situation of the war is changing rapidly. If all the news is under control, the rebels would not have formed the current climate."


    Chen Tang was worried about the people in the city.


    "What should we do now?"


    Even the blind man could see that Xiaocheng could not be defended. Be more optimistic, break the city tomorrow; be more pessimistic, break the city in the afternoon, and it will be only two days.


    Now I can only count on the Lord General not a bloodthirsty person.


    but-


    Sometimes the city is still not a massacre. The wishes of the master general are not important. What matters is the wishes of the master general''s immediate superior. If someone wants to "kill the chicken to warn the monkey", no matter how kind the general is, he will be ordered. Think about Zheng Qiao''s family''s psychopath...the hope is slim.


    Zheng Qiao used extremely **** methods to conquer Sibao County. Now it is his turn to two cruel brothers who have been tortured by him for many years - Alas, there is a generation gap between normal people and psychopaths in the brain circuits. The former is extremely difficult to predict what the latter will do to break the shame.


    For a moment, a sorrowful and solemn atmosphere enveloped everyone.


    The people can only seek blessings for themselves?


    Yang Duwei clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "If Xiaocheng is doomed, I will fight the rebels to the last drop of blood!"


    He is already determined to die.


    Zhai Le''s expression moved slightly, trying to persuade Yang Duwei to think about it again, but Yang Duwei''s relatives and family members were all in the city. No matter what he said at this moment, he simply put off his voice and remained silent. Chen Tang hinted: "Why would you rather sneak into the city to save people?"


    Yang Duwei knew what she meant.


    With his tenth-class Zuo Shuchang''s strength, whether he chooses to surrender and protect his family or sneak into the city to save people, there is a high probability that he will save his relatives'' blood. If he is not good, he can save several people, so that the whole family will not wait to die...


    but-


    He glanced at the tired and desperate faces of the soldiers around him, with a little hesitation in grief, but he still shook his head firmly.


    Yang Duwei said: "This move is not feasible."


    Chen Tang asked: "Why?"


    Yang Duwei smiled bitterly: "One person''s strength is limited, he can save three or five people but cannot save three or five thousand people. The soldiers chose me, but they endured hardships and did not choose to escape at the last minute. They were not only worried that their family members also trusted me. They believed in me, how could I betray them?"


    Chen Tang was stunned.


    Whether it was Yang Duwei''s eyes or his expression, it clearly stated that he was ready to give up his life.


    Seeing that everyone was depressed, Zhai Le said, "Don''t be so pessimistic! Maybe, maybe you won''t massacre the city? Such **** and cruel things don''t happen often..."


    When the two sides fight, the opponent''s civilians who are powerless to fight after one side wins will be despised and cause public outrage.


    As long as the winner is shameless, I usually don’t do this.


    at the same time-


    The main account of the rebel camp changed the owner.


    The bearded man who had been arrogant and obediently sat in the lower left head, and the barbarian man he couldn''t stand was sitting opposite the lower right head.


    The "old thing" he said was sitting on the main tent.


    That is his real father.


    However, this father has been shattering his face since he came. His eyes are not eyes, and his nose is not nose. He grabbed him alone in front of a group of generals and scolded him for half an hour. The reprimand includes but is not limited to the night attack last night...


    Oh, and there are old accounts.


    As the bearded man guessed, the blame was all on him, and there was nothing wrong with the real culprit. He was playing with a few round and smooth pearls in his hand.


    Seeing that his son''s face was full of resentment, the old general threw a string of Buddhist beads at the bearded man: "Do you understand?"


    The bearded man said perfunctorily: "I understand."


    As for what the old guy scolded?


    He didn''t remember it at all.


    It must be another change of soup and no medicine.


    He responded and saw a strange and cold sarcastic smile appearing on his face on the barbarian opposite, and he was instantly angry.


    "why are you laughing?"


    "It''s nothing, it''s just a pity that my brother is so beautiful."


    The bearded man almost exploded when he heard this.


    He scolded and said, "Beast, do you actually covet your brother and sister-in-law?"


    The other generals in the main tent showed strange expressions. The old general was so angry that he grabbed the things and threw them at the bearded man: "You are a beast! How can you talk to your brother who is unfilial and unkind? Ah Nian has always respected himself and loved him. Can he fall in love with you?"


    The bearded man was dissatisfied when he heard this.


    What does that barbarian respect and love for himself?


    In other words, is he just a frivolous person?


    What''s wrong with his Yingyingyanyan?


    Which man doesn’t have three or five women in the backyard?


    Youth: "Entertainment Father."


    The eyes were pleading.


    Although the people present were either the old general’s private department or the official, or trusted confidants, all of them were their own people, revealing their family’s misfortune was not a commendable good thing.


    When the old general saw the young man, his anger immediately dropped most of his anger.


    He waved his hand tiredly: "Okay, for the sake of A Nian''s plea, don''t argue with you, an unfilial son, and take it on!"


    Looking at his father''s confidant who was walking towards him, the bearded man looked ashen: "Don''t catch me, I can leave by myself!"


    He thought he was warned by the old man.


    Who knew that he was taken to an open space.


    The burning black marks left last night remained in the open space. The soldiers set up firewood here and placed a super large pottery jar.


    He didn''t understand what to sell in the gourd.


    "What is this?"


    In a short while, he knew.


    His beloved concubine was dragged over by two soldiers like chickens. The concubine had never seen this scene before. She was so scared that she kept calling for help from her mouth. The bearded man was anxious and angry, scolding: "Let her go! Are you desperate for your life?"


    Dare to touch his woman?


    Just no one paid attention to him.


    He wanted to step forward and kick the soldier away, but he was first blocked by the old guy on both sides of the left and right, and he was unable to move.


    The matches were burned and the pottery jar was filled with clear water.


    The bearded man was stunned and his head was empty.


    A vaguely, he realized something, turned his head and looked towards the main account, shouting loudly, and the voice was smoothly transmitted into the main account, but no one responded. After a while, I heard the woman''s loud and sharp begging for mercy again, and the sound of fluttering in the water.


    As time goes by, the voice becomes more and more shrill.


    I don’t know how long it has passed, but the sound gradually faded until it disappeared.


    The young man always sat upright in the lower right head.


    But no one noticed it. His hands hanging on his knees slowly and slowly clenched into fists, the blue veins on the back of his hand stretched out, and his nails embedded in the soft flesh of the palm of his hand, pinching out blood beads.


    Others also listened quietly.


    Not long after, the bearded man was held in.


    His face turned pale and his forehead was sweating.


    The whole person seemed to have his bones removed from his body, and he sat on the ground weakly, with his head hanging down, not knowing what he was thinking.


    After a while, he murmured to his father: "Why?"


    On the outside, the old general is a loving middle-aged man. Although he is very old, he is still tall and burly. He doesn''t see the hunchbacked and thin person that this age should have: "Because it was a secret spy sent by the thief of Xiaocheng, who is lurking beside you."


    The bearded man subconsciously refuted.


    “She is not!”


    That concubine is obviously his eldest daughter of her nanny brother!


    The family background is so innocent that it cannot be more innocent, people from Geng Kingdom!


    It has nothing to do with Xiaocheng!

    PS: By the way, I would like to recommend my friend Song of Thorns’ new book "Help! I really can''t eat it anymore" (Qiuqiu, please help me urge you to update it), you can invest before signing a contract. Although the title of the book is wide, Jingthorn is also an old author, and the content will not disappoint everyone.
