"Is that really the case?"

The city lord looked at Xun Huo with a puzzled gaze, but his tone was much better than just now: "If that's the case, then why didn't you tell the truth just now?" ”

Xun Huo said with a bitter face: "I didn't tell a lie just now, Lord City, this sachet was stuffed into me until it was searched, I didn't know that there was such a secret in this sachet!" ”

Hearing this, the city lord pondered for a moment, and finally chose to believe the words of the two. Of course, the most important thing is to believe Gongsun Xu's words, after all, it was the other party who pressed Xun Huo in just now, but now he is interceding for his colleagues, and what he said will naturally not be false.

And this Xun Huo usually does have some rumors of rigidity, not like a person who will surrender easily.

Thinking of this, the city lord finally nodded: "In that case, you can get up." ”

Xun Huo thanked him when he heard this, and then slowly got up.

"In that case, it all makes sense. I'm afraid that these people from Huoyi City will really come to attack my Qilin City tonight........." The city lord said to himself a little.

"Whether it's true or not, we all have to prepare." Gongsun Xu added, "Of course, there is no guarantee that this is not the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so the other three city gates, especially the north city gate, also need to send some additional manpower." ”

The city lord listened to this rather comprehensive suggestion, and immediately showed a look of approval. Then he said:

"I'll leave this matter to General Gongsun. As for General Xun...... Temporarily on standby in the barracks, no one is allowed to leave the barracks without an order! ”

Xun Huo was silent for a second, and then bowed and saluted: "Huh." ”

After that, the two walked out of the military council building together, and both tacitly stopped in front of the military council building.

"I really didn't expect to detain me for a while, and save me for a while...... Do you think I should hate you or thank you? Xun Huo looked at the slightly drowsy night and said with a complicated expression.

However, Gongsun Xu smiled indifferently and said:

"I've been talking about things before. I didn't deliberately wronged you or ostracized you, let alone let me die. So you don't need to thank me, your crisis hasn't been resolved. After tonight, let's see if the other party will attack Qilin City. If so, we'll see if we can hold on. ”

"If you can't keep it......" Speaking of this, Gongsun Xu suddenly approached the other party, revealing a treacherous look and said, "If you can't keep it, when the time comes, in front of the city lord of Huoyi City, I hope Your Excellency will help me say something good." ”

Hearing this, Xun Huo also looked at each other in surprise, and the expression on his face became more and more complicated.

…………

Before you know it, it's completely dark.

At this moment, on the land north of Qilin City, Tang Ye stood there, looking at the silhouette of the shadowy city wall not far away, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Although I used to be often troubled by the fact that there was no light when it was dark, I complained about the backwardness of science and technology in this world. But now he is glad that there is no light, otherwise he is so swaggering at the moment, and he will be discovered by the other party's lights.

Originally, it was planned for Yang Ke to carry out this infiltration mission, but after careful research, Tang Ye decided to come in person.

Because although Yanke is fast and powerful, it is mainly aimed at monomers. When the time comes, facing a large group of people behind the city gate, it is undoubtedly more suitable for Tang Ye's "special ability" that can make people disappear in a scope.
