As Liu Zhang's confidant and think tank, the first thing Wu Tao thinks of when he does anything is Liu Zhang's interests, Liu Qi's actions touched Liu Zhang's taboo, and Wu Tao had to put aside his personal likes and dislikes.

"Hmph, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die! If my good deeds are ruined, you will be punished for the crime of disobeying military orders, and your life will not be met! ”

A guard broke in outside the door and walked quickly to Wu Tao's side and whispered a few words, Wu Tao's tense face eased slightly, nodded slowly, stood up abruptly and walked to Yan Yan and said coldly: "Yan Tong will be escorted into the city soon, and I hope that the prince will act according to my orders, otherwise, ...... Hum! ”

The guard stood behind Yan Yan with his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, Yan Yan's eyes immediately erupted with anger, and his beard trembled slightly, but in the end, he sighed helplessly, and replied with a strong sense of anger: "Obey!" ”

"Heber, please!"

Wu Tao showed a hint of pride, turned around and strode out of the door.

The drum tower in the center of the city was crowded with people, and Liu Qi was surrounded in the center of the open space and was receiving the praise of the defenders and the people of the city.

Wu Tao saw Liu Qi's proud appearance, and secretly scolded a villain, when he looked at a person, he felt forgivable no matter what bad things he did, but once he hated a person, the situation was completely reversed, before he learned that Yan Tong was caught by Liu Qi, when Liu Qi rejected him in public, Wu Tao didn't mind and thought that Liu Qi was loyal, and now when he thinks about it, he will hate and scold him for not knowing how to lift.

The crowd was dispersed by Wu Tao's personal soldiers, but no one was willing to leave just like that, and as soon as Wu Tao's personal soldiers left, they reunited, and Liu Qipi smiled and gave a slight salute: "The last general has seen Wu Yuanjun." ”

Wu Tao didn't look at Liu Qi, and ordered in a loud voice to gather more personal soldiers to drive away the crowd: "Come on, call the soldiers to drive these untouchables away, and those who dare to disobey the order to stay are arrested and imprisoned!" ”

Liu Qi's voice also rose several degrees: "To make the king slow, and to capture the enemy commander alive is a good thing to boost morale and boost the morale of the army and the people, so that the king should be happy with the people, why drive away the people?" ”

Wu Tao looked at Liu Qi coldly and said: "Summoned yesterday, the general refused to come, today I want to prevent villains with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the chaos, and the general comes to obstruct again, does the general know what crime should be committed if he does not obey the order?" ”

Liu Qi smiled: "Why did you say this, far from intentionally offending the envoy, please let me say a word, the rebels have been attacking the rebels for more than ten days, and many of the people present are willing to send food and medicine to fight the rebels, and there are countless people who have lost their lives and are disabled, without them, how can you and I stand here calmly!?" ”

Liu Qi waved his hand and pointed to the crowd that was gathering more and more, and his voice became higher and higher: "Today, the traitor Yan Tong was captured, don't these people who have made great contributions to protect their patience even have the right to scold the culprit who caused them to lose their relatives in person!" ”

"General Liu is right! Why drive us away......"

I don't know who shouted loudly, and then more and more people shouted, and in the blink of an eye, almost everyone was infected, and one by one they shouted with indignant fists, and the sound was deafening.

Wu Tao's face turned pale, and he opened his arms to the crowd after making a look at the guards, and after the crowd gradually quieted down, Wu Tao shouted: "Fathers, that Yan Tong is the commander of the rebels, how can the commander be captured by the rebels, he will definitely send outlaws to try to rescue, you gather here to provide an excellent hiding place for the traitors, and I am afraid that the traitors will hurt the innocent when they are in trouble, and please go home to each other, don't give the traitors a chance!" ”

Immediately someone was frightened, there was a discussion in the crowd, and some people were afraid to retreat, but they found that someone in the back was tightly squeezed so that the person in front could not retreat at all.

Liu Qi replied with a smile on the side: "Rest assured, the last general has already been prepared, and a net has been laid, as long as the traitors dare to come and control them, they will not return!" ”

Someone in the crowd immediately shouted: "The traitor has already been frightened by General Liu, how dare you come, don't be afraid!" ”

Liu Qi's words were quickly spread, and Liu Qi had been deeply trusted by the people of Qu Ren, and those who had the heart to go home after hearing this no longer tried to retreat.

Wu Tao's face became more and more gloomy, but the anger in his heart became more and more intense, and he was about to be angry when he saw a large group of people surrounding people along the crowd, and his clenched fists were released, and he snorted coldly and ignored Liu Qi.

After a while, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from the direction of the south gate, and the soldiers on the periphery did not dare to slack off to separate a passage from the dense crowd, and the war horse rushed to the drum tower in an instant and stopped steadily, and the knight on horseback turned over and landed, strode to Liu Qi, knelt on one knee and saluted with fists: "General Qiyu, the enemy general Yan Tong has been escorted outside the city, how to deal with it, please show the general!" ”

Wu Tao rushed to Liu Qi and asked, "Is Yan Tong dead or alive!" ”

The knight glanced at Liu Qi, Liu Qi smiled and nodded, and then he replied, "Yan Tong was already dying when he was captured by an arrow in the abdomen, but ...... After being treated by our medical officer, there is no fear of life. ”

Wu Tao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glared fiercely at the knight who was panting loudly, and shouted, "Why don't you take Yan Tong to see me soon?" ”

Then he turned around and whispered to the guard: "Go and call the medical officer to check Yan Tong's injuries first, and report it quickly." ”

Wu Tao had prepared the most skilled medical officer in advance, if Liu Qi secretly did something to Yan Tong, he would expose Liu Qi on the spot and punish him, if Yan Zhan's hatred was transferred to Liu Qi, maybe there would be an unexpected gain, Yan Zhan could not help Liu Qi now, if Yan Zhan could really do anything for Yan Tong, then if he wanted to take revenge, he could only cooperate with himself.

Hmph, if you want to fight with me, you still owe a lot of heat!

Liu Qichong stared at Wu Tao, who stared at him gloomily, replied with an equally unfathomable smile, and then looked at the south gate, and soon saw a large group of people and horses neatly lined up in eight columns slowly marching towards the drum tower, with wounded cavalry on both sides of the team, and more than a dozen prisoner carts sandwiched in the middle.

The two fast horses rushed over, the team stopped, and after a while, it started again, and soon the guards came to Wu Tao's ear to report, Wu Tao was completely relieved, although Yan Tong suffered a lot, he was alive and well.

It seems that he is too worried, and when he looks at Liu Qi again, Wu Tao immediately feels no longer so disgusted.

The prisoner cart walked slowly, I don't know who got up and threw eggs and rotten vegetable leaves into the prisoner cart, many people couldn't help but regret that they were not prepared, some people took off their straw sandals and threw them out in a hurry, and those who were reluctant could only scold themselves.

At this time, Yan Tong no longer has the same life as before, he was embarrassed and trembling with his hands to protect his head and face, allowing all kinds of filthy @ things to fall on his body, Yan Tong was just captured and said a few words, but after being tortured a few times by various lifeless but painful criminal laws, Yan Tong only begged for mercy, compared to this humiliation is really nothing.

Let the people vent their anger, Wu Tao didn't think so, and had already ordered his subordinates to prepare to accept the prisoner car to return to the Taishou Mansion, who knew that people's emotions became more and more excited, until a group of women and young children dressed in plain clothes came to Wu Tao and Liu Qi and knelt down in front of them and cried in unison, asking Yan Tong and others to avenge the soldiers and civilians who were martyred in defending the city a few days ago, and the sound of blood and tears immediately evoked people's memories of the rampant domineering of the Yan clan people on weekdays and the difficult moments of defending the city a few days ago, and the only remaining awe disappeared in an instant.

"Kill Yantong! Kill Yan Tong! …………”

Wu Tao suddenly panicked, and hurriedly waved his hands and shouted: "Fathers and elders listen to me, listen to me............"

The angry crowd's shouts demanding the execution of Yan Tong completely drowned out Wu Tao's voice, seeing that people were about to get out of control, Liu Qi secretly smiled and boarded a prisoner car and raised his arm, the battle robe was blown up by the wind, Liu Qi's prestige in the city of Qu Ninja was extremely high, and people's attention was immediately attracted by Liu Qi.

The voices in the crowd gradually became quieter, Liu Qi arched his hand at Wu Tao, pointed at Yan Tong and shouted: "This thief's hands are stained with the blood of the people I have endured, if you don't cut it, it's not enough to be angry with the people, and if you don't cut it, it's not enough to pay off its blood debts. ”

Yan Yan, who had not spoken for a long time, also strode up to Wu Tao and said loudly: "The soldiers of our army have been fighting for a long time, just waiting for the envoy to give an order to recover the lost territory, punish the rebellion, please make the king cut the Yantong sacrifice flag, wave the army and march!" ”

"You guys! ……”

His worries finally became a reality, Wu Tao suddenly became confused, he knew that the most important thing to do now was to agree to execute Yan Tong to appease the tens of thousands of people who were about to lose control, and then think about it in the long run, but then his political life would be over.

What is certain is that Liu Qi and Yan Yan's next step is to wave the army to attack Yufu, Liu Qi doesn't have to really attack Yufu at all, just make an appearance, then even if he can't speak clearly, no one in the Yan family will believe in him anymore, only fight to the end, Wu Tao didn't even dare to imagine the final result, just by succumbing to the coercion of his subordinates, even if Liu Zhang's favor didn't care about the previous suspicions, he himself would have no shame to appear in front of his colleagues.
