"Great! Liao Shun! ”

As Li Su's words landed, more than 40 soldiers of the cavalry battalion behind him looked mournful and shouted in unison, and many soldiers suddenly turned red.

Shi Potian roared in shock, causing the officials not far away to take a few steps back.

Li Su looked at the officials coldly, and suddenly said: "The officials of the Tang Dynasty, guarding the land of the Tang Dynasty, and respecting the heroes and heroes of the Tang Dynasty, do you feel condescending?" ”

There was a commotion in the crowd of officials, and at some point, an official suddenly walked out of the crowd, stood in front of Liao Shun's corpse without saying a word, and after standing silent for a long time, he suddenly put his hands together and threw him to the ground towards Liao Shun, and then walked back to the crowd in silence.

With the first, there is naturally a second, and a third......

In the end, whether they wanted it or not, all the officials in front of the Assassin's Mansion saluted the corpse.

Li Su's cold expression finally showed a little softness, there is no natural bad guy, and he can salute Liao Shun's corpse, which shows that the officialdom in Xizhou is still saved, and there is still hope for this city.

After the salute, the crowd of officials remained quiet, with a little fear and panic on their faces.

These are all civil officials, and their strength is that they can cherish the words of the sages, but in the face of the upcoming tragic battle for the attack and defense of the city, many people still can't help but show fear.

Li Su looked at them quietly, and suddenly asked loudly: "The monarch envoy, the minister, what is it?" ”

There was another commotion in the crowd.

Li Su's sentence has a source, it is a sentence that Lu Dinggong asked Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period, but any ignorant young son who has read the school for two years can blurt out the next sentence without thinking.

However, after Li Su asked this sentence in front of many civil officials who had read poetry and books, the crowd did not answer for a long time.

The words of the sages of the ages can only be answered calmly by those with a clear conscience.

Li Su's expression became more and more gloomy, he took a heavy step forward, and asked again in front of the officials: "The monarch envoy, the minister." So so? ”

After a long time, a low-hearted answer finally came from the crowd.

"The king makes the ministers courteous, and the ministers are loyal to the ......"

The answer is very standard, word for word, and this sentence is exactly what Confucius answered Lu Dinggong, and it is included in the Analects.

But. Li Su was still not satisfied.

The corners of his mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile, and Li Su's tone was cold and mean: "The voice is so small, is it because the imperial court has not fed you, or have you done too much bad things as an official in this far away place of Emperor Gao?" ”

The bitter and caustic words of Sang scolding Huai finally aroused the anger of the scholars, and the officials raised their heads in unison, blushing and looking directly at Li Su, with anger in their eyes.

If Li Suhun hadn't seen it, he asked the same thing for the third time, but this time he stood with his hands in his hands. Looking up at the sky, as if asking the gods of the sky: "What is the king's envoy, the minister's minister?" ”

The Heavenly Spirit didn't answer him, and this time, a roar like a landslide sounded in the open space outside the Assassin's Mansion.

"The king makes the ministers courteous, and the ministers are loyal!"

Li Su was finally satisfied, and made eye contact with the officials. He smiled, "Very good, I hope you remember what you said at this moment today." At present, the great enemy is putting aside personal grievances for the time being, and I hope that everyone will work together to fight against foreign enemies! All your colleagues immediately went about their duties, pacified the people, and prepared ordnance. Mobilize grain and grass, after this battle, if Xizhou is not lost, and still can't let go of personal grievances, continue to hate me silently in my heart. If you have the chance, you are welcome to take me down! ”

The crowd was silent, and the officials stared at Li Su's face with complicated eyes, that face was young, immature, with a little indifference, and a little annoying smile, but the eyes on that face were full of irreversible determination like a rock at the moment.

For a long time, the crowd was silent, and there was no movement.

Li Su still smiled brightly, but he was already very polite when he spoke: "Everyone, the enemy army is only a hundred miles away from Xizhou, are you still standing here stupidly, waiting for the enemy to invite you to drink?" ”

This sentence finally woke up the people, and the crowd suddenly heard the sound of stealing, according to the size of the official position, the people quickly and efficiently divided the labor, who raised the ordnance, who mobilized the grain and grass, who chose the able-bodied people in the city to serve as the burden, etc., in a few words, the officials each received their own work.

After a period of discussion and confusion, the crowd quickly dispersed.

****************************************************************

Liao Shun's military information was very timely, and it can be said that he bought the entire Xizhou a lot of time to prepare for the enemy.

The little scout, at the cost of his life, got a chance to be a hero.

In many people's long lives, what really shines may only be a short moment, or maybe there is no such moment, and they will be mediocre and bleak to death all their lives.

While Li Su was sincerely grateful to Liao Shun, he couldn't help but feel glad about his decision.

After a mysterious cavalry attacked the camp and almost caused a catastrophe, Li Su learned his lesson, so he took turns to send ten soldiers every day to patrol the enemy within a radius of 100 miles from Xizhou City.

Today, this decision is undoubtedly very wise, it has saved his own life, and it has also saved the lives of the officials and people of Xizhou.

The gates of Xizhou were closed, the soldiers were in full battle, and dozens of scouts were once again sent out of the city and galloped away towards the west.

On the west tower of the city, all kinds of rolling logs, stones, fire oil, and baskets of arrows, and all the ordnance that should be used to defend the city were piled up on the city tower.

The soldiers defending the city stood in a row on the city tower, their expressions solemn, and a little imperceptible nervousness and even fear.

There was a hustle and bustle in the city, Li Su could hear the cries of the people standing on the city tower, moving grain and grass, transporting ordnance, women holding children, men holding their parents, mixed with the scolding and scolding of the soldiers patrolling the city, the whole city was like a pot of boiling water, all in chaos.

Nervous, scared, and all kinds of emotions filled the city, and even Li Su couldn't help but feel a little panicked, after all, this is a living and bloody war, people will die, and the dead people are more likely to be themselves.

Turning his head to look at Wang Zhu and Zheng Xiaolou, Li Su tried to find a little fear and fear on their faces, Zheng Xiaolou's face was as rigid as usual, like a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest wave.

And the king pile......

Wang Zhu looked excited, holding the Da Mo knife weighing more than 20 catties that Li Su had created for him, with a eager expression on his face, fully demonstrating the essence of a future killer.

There was a bustle and noise under the city tower, and a group of officials gathered around a person and quickly climbed the steps of the city tower.

Li Su squinted and smiled.

These days, Cao Yu has not come out of the door, and even the military and political power in Xizhou has simply let go, allowing Li Su to act in a high-profile manner, Cao Yu's performance is very abnormal, until today, he finally appeared in front of the officials and people of Xizhou, with a majestic face and a fierce gaze, and I don't know if this evil spirit is aimed at the upcoming enemy army or at Li Su.
