Chapter 368 Timely

Xia Xuan finally opened the gate of Luocheng and let the refugees outside the wall enter the city. Although all aspects of Luocheng are not fully prepared, even if Xia Xuan himself is not ready, things are imminent. Xia Xuan had no choice but to agree to the ancient suggestion and start to let the refugees enter the city after making a decision in a short time.

More than 100,000 refugees finally poured into Luocheng. Although Luocheng had almost become an empty city, more than 100,000 refugees were poured in in a short period of time, and there was no coordination. Finally, Luocheng could not bear such a situation for the time being and was in a semi-paralyzed state.

"Master Lord, this group of refugees may stop after entering." Xia Xuan's personal follower ran over to report with a nervous look on his face.

"What's the situation?" Xia Xuan turned to look at the ancient one. It was obvious that there was a big problem with the refugees entering the city.

"The refugees entering the city gate are unwilling to move into the city. Almost all of the tens of thousands of refugees who entered the city gate were sitting anywhere not far from the city gate. If the refugees were sent into the city, the city gate would not be closed at that time." The accompanying person pointed to Xia Xuan at the city gate, and then continued: "The most urgent task is to let more than 10,000 refugees at the city gate move into the city. Moreover, the refugees who come in later cannot stay at the city gate and must continue to move into the city as soon as possible. Otherwise, the refugees would definitely not be able to fully enter the city before dark, and the city gate would not be closed at that time."

"How many more can the guards draw?" Xia Xuan looked at his follower nervously.

"Return to the city lord, except for the dozens of people at the city gate, the rest of the guards are now in chaos. Some guards are even squeezed into the city by refugees and cannot be contacted. The guards responsible for the safety of the city have been assigned to the place, and it may be difficult to contact them now." The follower said helplessly and his face was even more helpless.

"How can the guards at the city gate retreat? If an unexpected situation occurs, they will have to close the city gate urgently." Xia Xuan felt helpless, but there was no way.

"Have the Daqi royal family and the dozen immortal-level masters entered Luocheng?" Gu Lao asked suddenly.

"Ah." Xia Xuan's personal follower looked at the old man.

"What?" Xia Xuan glared at his follower with dissatisfaction, and then said, "Mr. Gu is asking, why don't he answer?"

"Yes, I'm not sure." The follower looked at Xia Xuan with some fear, and then said: "The situation in the city is too messy. The guards on the city wall have not reported the situation yet. We are not sure about the whereabouts of the royal family who fled from Daqi and more than a dozen immortal-level masters. Maybe they haven't come in yet." After saying that, his follower looked at Xia Xuan again.

"Go check now, Mr. Gu and I will stand here and wait." Xia Xuan stomped his feet heavily, his face turned pale.

"Yes, I'll go to the city wall to check it right away." The in-person follower bowed to Xia Xuan and turned around and left.

"Come back." Gu Lao suddenly shouted to follow him, and then said to Gu Qing and Yuxiong beside him: "You two go with him and keep an eye on those people, and if there is any situation, it will be promptly signaled."

"Yeah." Yuxiong pulled Gu Qing and left without waiting for Xia Xuan to speak.

"The refugees here must move in. This will not be a solution." Gu Lao said, looking at the ragged refugee in front of him.

"There are serious shortages of guards in the city now, and these refugees are cold and hungry." Xia Xuan looked at Gu Lao and continued: "This situation is really difficult to deal with, it's a dilemma!"

"How many security guards are responsible for the safety of the city?" Gu Lao looked at the guards on the city wall and at the city gate, and asked in confusion: "There are less than 200 people here. Isn't there more than 2,000 guards in Luocheng? All the others have gone there?"

"Except for the eighty-four guards responsible for the guards on the city wall and the fifty-one guards at the city gate, the eight guards were all scattered to every corner of the city." Xia Xuan explained, and then continued to say, "Although there are almost 30,000 residents in the city, most of them are old, weak, women and children. Once the refugees meet these people, they may feel bad, so the rest of the guards are sent to the city to be responsible for safety, and even dozens of my servants are sent out." At the end, Xia Xuan added another sentence.

"Oh." Gu Lao looked at Xia Xuan again, but he didn't expect that he could think of these aspects. It seemed that he was still a qualified city lord.

"Mr. Gu, what should we do now?" Xia Xuan asked Gu Lao for help, and he had already thought about all the ways he could think of. He was now in poverty.

"How much food is left in the city? Where are you put?" Gu Lao stared at Xia Xuan and asked quickly. At this critical moment, decisive decisions must be made to achieve surprise victory.

"In addition to the original 500,000 kilograms of grain in the city, the imperial city had been surrounded by refugees in Luocheng before the imperial city sent people to deliver 200,000 kilograms of grain and more than 30,000 pieces of clothing three times." Xia Xuan thought for a while, and then said: "The original 500,000 kilograms of grain were found in the official warehouse of Luocheng. The grain sent by the imperial city was all placed in the junior's home warehouse for emergency use."

"The official database of Luocheng?" It has been a few years since ancient times arrived in Luocheng, but I have never heard of a official database in Luocheng. This may be related to his lack of frequent walking around Luocheng.

"There is an official warehouse that can store million kilograms of grain underground in the northeast corner of the west gate of Luocheng. There are only three people in the entire Luocheng except me." Xia Xuan did not intend to conceal this matter from ancient times, and concealing it would be detrimental to him.

"Call all the guards in charge of the safety of the city and your servants immediately, and set up a big pot of relief to the refugees on the open space at the gate of the city lord's mansion to help the refugees. The time should be fast, and if necessary, you can ask the women in the city for help." Gu Lao looked at the refugees in the distance and continued without thinking: "After doing this, you will immediately send dozens of familiar residents in the city lord's mansion to distribute the news about the refugees in the city lord's mansion to help the refugees. The time should be fast." Gu Lao suddenly said to Xia Xuan after giving the order: "Don't use the grain from the official warehouse, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Just move out tens of thousands of kilograms of grain in your home first."

"Okay, I'll do it right away. Gu Lao is more worried about the area at the city gate." Xia Xuan called a few people without looking back and left without looking back.

"You two are watching at the city gate. If the situation is wrong, I will signal it as soon as possible. I will go back to the mansion to discuss other things with Donglai." Gu Lao said a few words to Gutu and Guqi and left the city gate quickly.

The refugees at the city gate gathered more and more. Before those who had entered before left the city gate, the ones behind rushed in. The weapons in their hands were raised high, and their voices were hoarse, but the refugees still did their own thing. The entire city gate of Luocheng was squeezed by the refugees and had almost no room for movement, and the guards were also squeezed and scattered in many places.
