Yang Xuan slowly sat down, leaning against the city wall, panting.

Wang Zhong came over and sat down next to him, breathing loudly like a bellows.

"Your Majesty."

"Um!"

"Will the thief retreat?"

"Won't!"

"Why?"

"They didn't have many casualties. It was more like a test just now."

"Do they know the art of war?"

"At least I know better than you!"

Wang Zhong's face turned red and he felt humiliated. "I don't have soldiers under my command, otherwise I should show it off."

"How about you take charge next?"

"I'm... a little dizzy."

"Wang Shilang."

"Um!"

"You are so shameless and refreshing."

Yang Xuan didn't know why the warriors of the Southern Zhou Dynasty could tolerate the rule of such shameless civil servants. Damn it! If it were the Tang Dynasty, they would have rebelled early.

Wang Zhong said calmly: "It takes ten thousand people to demonstrate my art of war."

Yang Xuan gave up arguing with this shameless man and said, "The young men in the city will gather together right away. Right now."

But the kings said: "Those officials are taking action."

Yang Xuan sneered, "The city will be captured later. I will break out with my men and leave you here. Do you know what those rebels will do to you? They will sharpen the wooden stakes and strip you naked with your buttocks facing down...

…”

call out!

The kings disappeared into the city in the blink of an eye.

"Gather together."

"Anyone who refuses to come out will be killed!"

"Hurry!"

The old thief sighed: "Sure enough, your own life is noble."

"This has always been the case." Yang Xuan was not surprised.

"This Wang Shilang has always been quite reserved and arrogant. I didn't expect him to be this kind of guy!"

“Under every seemingly glamorous exterior, there is an unknown ugliness.”

"Mr. Lang's words are quite wise."

"Just judge others by yourself."

Old thief: "..."

"There are no fairies or fairy men in this world. No matter how beautiful the man or woman is, they still have to eat, drink and have diarrhea."

"That's the truth. Lang Jun, the Southern Zhou people want to use their national power to frighten us, but what does it mean now?"

"The performance was ruined!"

"In that case, let's break out!"

"What the hell!"

"Lang Jun used this to threaten the kings before."

"That's what I coaxed him to do!" Yang Xuan pointed to the outside and said feebly: "There are thousands of thieves, and dozens of us rushed in, just like a drop of water falling into the river. If it's just us, we can't do it."

There are Qin bamboo slips and others."

"Leave them behind!"

"You think I don't want to? When I encountered a thief, the envoy escaped with his men, but left all the members of the mission in the hands of the thief. When I return to the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple will be ashamed of me. From now on, these two

The local government will regard me as a rival. Also, my reputation will be ruined."

Greedy for life and afraid of death!

Regardless of the overall situation!

Only now did the old thief think of the envoy's duty, "The envoy is in a foreign country. He would rather die than humiliate the Tang Dynasty."

Yang Xuan nodded, "Once I abandon Qin Jian and the others, my career in this life will be gone. Do you understand?"

Otherwise, he would have run away with his own people earlier.

The old thief plus Wang Lao'er, plus the twenty guards brought by Wu Da, and the officials of the Southern Zhou Dynasty and the officials of the mission were dragged behind as bait, so it was not too difficult to escape.

Over there, Qin Jian heard Yang Xuan mention his name in a daze and asked, "Is the envoy called me?"

Qin Jian just went into battle with his sword and killed two thieves.

Yang Xuan smiled hypocritically, "Nothing, I just want to praise you for your civil and military skills."

Qin Jian said proudly: "The civil servants of the Tang Dynasty can kill enemies when mounted, and can herd people when dismounted."

But if it weren't for Wu Da's help earlier, Qin Jian was almost killed by the rebels.

The force value is still too low, otherwise Yang Xuan would really dare to lead them to break out. As for the Southern Zhou people, it's none of my business!

The young men in the city were gathered together.

Just below the city head.

The kings shouted: "Everyone cheer up. If you kill one enemy, you will be rewarded with a hundred coins!"

He felt that the reward of one hundred dollars was very high, but he found that the young men showed no reaction.

"What's the meaning?"

Yuan Xiao said: "I'm afraid I'm greedy."

The kings sneered, "Then resort to tricks!"

"Ahem!"

The two turned around, but it was Yang Xuan.

"Make way!"

The two of them couldn't help but move out of the way.

"What does he want to do?" Seeing Yang Xuan walking up to the young men, Yuan Xiao said, "He is from the Tang Dynasty. How can these young men listen to him?"

Yang Xuan stood still.

"I am the envoy of the Tang Dynasty."

The crowd was silent.

"I am leading the army now, not for the sake of friendship between the two countries, but just to save the lives of the Tang Dynasty envoys."

As for other people, it has nothing to do with me.

"I summoned you and others not for anything else but for the thieves outside."

Yang Xuan pointed to the direction outside the city, "Once the city is broken, your wives and daughters will become their slaves and ravaged by them. Once the city is broken, your family members will be killed by them..."

"The last survivor must join them to survive."

"I don't want to die, I don't want to become a thief..."

"Then, I have one request."

Yang Xuan pulled out the horizontal sword.

"Go pick up weapons and protect your wife and children who are waiting for you!"

A young man walked up, picked up the long knives piled on the ground, and silently walked towards the city.

The second person appeared.

The third person...

The young men silently picked up their weapons and walked up to the top of the city one by one.

Yang Xuan pointed at Zhang Chunqiu, "Form up the formation and briefly teach them how to give orders and assemble to kill the enemy."

There was admiration in Zhang Chunqiu's eyes, "Take the order!"

A civil servant cursed in a low voice: "That's the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, but you agreed so crisply!"
