Dong Ce strode into the courtyard, and many soldiers had already gotten up at this time, but the people were panicked, and no one came out to talk and take care of things, and they didn't know what to do.

When he arrived in the inner courtyard, Dong Ce saw Liu Ruozai just walking out of the hall. He was dressed neatly in an official uniform, with a straight face, and there was no panic on his thin face, he stood on the top of the steps and glanced around, and said lightly: "What are you panicking about?" ”

As soon as he spoke, the courtyard fell silent.

Liu Ruozai glanced at Dong Ce: "Come, come in and talk!" ”

"Yes!" Dong Ce saluted, and then nodded yes.

Liu Ruozai turned around and entered the hall, his steps were very calm, not chaotic at all, obviously his composure was not pretended, but he was indeed not afraid or panicked in his heart. Dong Ce also admired his kind of qi cultivation kung fu in his heart.

Entering the hall, Dong Ce closed the door, Liu Ruozai stared at him and asked, "Outside, what is the situation?" ”

"Zhu Dong reversed and colluded with thieves." Dong Ce tried his best to be concise: "Zhu Dong has more than 50 soldiers waiting for dispatch from his subordinates, led by a sentry named Ma Qing. Zhu Dong sent someone to inform Ma Qing and asked him to start an incident together, and when he saw the fire at the South City Gate, he killed his subordinates and others. The thieves' tricks were discovered by their subordinates, and now Ma Qing has been given the head, and the rest of the soldiers have not done anything, and after the subordinates gave the order, they put down their weapons and were captured. His subordinates thought that these men would not sin unto death, so they bound them all and waited for their fate to be sent down. ”

"Zhu Dong is reversed? Zhu Dong is reversed? ”

Even if Liu Ruozai was very deep in the city, when he heard the news, his body couldn't help but shake a little, and he only felt that there seemed to be a tendon in his head that jumped a few times, and it hurt badly, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Zhu Dong really disappointed him.

Originally, after these two days, Liu Ruozai already attached great importance to Zhu Dong, not only planned to vigorously promote and reuse him during this time, but even came up with the idea of transferring him to his command to listen to orders. In the past few days, Zhang Cheng still wanted to embarrass Zhu Dong and the others intentionally or unintentionally, but Liu Ruozai stopped these harsh accusations for them, and instructed Li Keshou to do his best to ensure the supply of the south city gate.

As a civil official, it is not easy to do this. After all, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the most people were the kind of civil officials who looked down on the martial artists from the bottom of their hearts, drove the generals like pigs and dogs, and never harshly criticized and insulted them and even beat them to death.

But he didn't expect that the person he valued so much and valued would be reversed in a blink of an eye!

However, Liu Ruozai is Liu Ruozai after all, and he has seen a lot of ups and downs in his life, and after muttering a few words, he quickly adjusted his emotions.

"Bai Tianfu also has Zhu Dong's subordinates at the East City Gate, will they do the same?" Liu Ruozai looked at Dong Ce and asked urgently.

Although he now looks like he has returned to normal, it is obvious that Zhu Dong's betrayal and surrender to the army have hit him quite hard, and his mind is still a little unstable now. This can be seen from his slightly trembling voice and fluttering eyes.

Dong Ce sighed secretly in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, I can't care so much. Now that Zhu Dong has opened the south gate, I am afraid that the army has already entered the city, we should make a decision immediately, how should we act! ”

"Yes! What should I do? Liu Ruozai's body trembled, he looked at Dong Ce, and he didn't know whether to talk to himself or ask Dong Ce.

"My lord, there are two paths in front of us now."

At this point, Dong Ce didn't care about any etiquette, stared at Liu Ruozai and said loudly: "First, for the future of the adults and these subordinates, for the overall situation of the world, and for the emperor's entrustment!" Don't forget, my lord, our destination is not here, but Suzhou Wei, Dacaotan! We're not here to defend the city, but we're going to Dacaotan to persuade the Chahar tribe to surrender! This is not our errand! Let's take people away now, there are subordinates here, there are more than 100 cavalry here, we can always protect the adults! Let's go directly to the north gate and leave, no one can stop us! ”

Dong Ce's last few words were almost roaring, and his voice was very loud.

And Liu Ruozai seemed to be awakened as well, his eyes became clear, he stared at Dong Ce deadly, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "What about the second way!" ”

"The second way is for the lives of the people!"

Dong Ce laughed: "It's nothing more than a fight to the death with the thief!" In any case, even if you die in battle, you can always fight with a clear conscience! ”

"Good! What a clear conscience! ”

seemed to be infected by Dong Ce's emotions, Liu Ruozai also laughed, patted Dong Ce's shoulder heavily, and said: "I really didn't misunderstand you, Dong Ce, you are a person who understands the general situation, understands the overall situation, and can do great things!" ”

This remark can come out of Liu Ruozai's mouth, it is not easy, Liu Ruozai rarely praises people, which is a very high evaluation.

"Since this official is in Chengcheng County, he must not abandon the people! Suzhou Wei, Chahar Department, that is the future, that is invisible in front of the present. And the people are visible now! Liu Ruozai's eyes were firm, his voice was sonorous and powerful, and he said in a deep voice: "What this official wants is to be healthy here!" ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Dong Ce knelt on the ground and said loudly: "What the adults want, what the subordinates want!" ”

"Good!"

Liu Ruozai said in a deep voice: "Dong Ce, this official only leaves Xie Dingkun's department by his side, and all the remaining soldiers are handed over to you to command!" There is only one request from this officer! That is, drive the thieves out! ”

He paused and shouted in a deep voice, "If this matter does not work out, you don't have to come back to see me alive." ”

"Yes!"

Dong Ce took a deep look at Liu Ruozai, nodded heavily, turned around and pushed the door out.

Standing on the steps outside, Dong Ce took a deep breath, only to feel that there was pride in his chest, and it seemed that the blood in his whole body was burning.

It's a big deal, it's a fight with the thief!

People live for a lifetime, in this life, they always have to make trade-offs, and they always have to do something that they will never regret even if they die because of it!

Desperately!

Xie Dingkun stepped forward and asked, "Master Dong......"

Before he could speak, Dong Ce interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Lord Xie, it's good to protect Lord Bingbeidao!" In the next place, I'm going to fight the thieves! ”

"I don't know if we can meet again. The previous grievances will be written off! ”

After speaking, he smiled and patted Xie Dingkun's shoulder.

Xie Dingkun looked at Dong Ce in a daze, speechless for a while. Since he met Dong Ce, in his impression, Dong Ce has always been an extremely high-spirited person, and he has never seen him depressed and desperate. But now, it is such a heavy remark, which shows how dangerous the situation is.

Dong Ce waved his hand and strode away.

He cleaned up his mood and rode his horse to the street outside to sort out the formation.

Their current location is north of the crossroads of the county seat, about fifty or sixty zhang away from the crossroads, and the intruders came in through the south gate, so they could not fight here for the time being. And the north city gate was garrisoned by Tian Shi, so Dong Ce told Liu Ruozai that as long as the adults want to leave, they will definitely be able to protect you and kill them. As long as you go through the north gate, you can definitely escape.

――――

At this time, the county government was already in chaos.

During the day, the most lively is naturally the front office of the county government, where people come and go, and the officials deal with all kinds of affairs, but in the evening, they all go home, and the front office is empty. Houya is Zhang Cheng's residence. Zhang Cheng is not alone, although his wife is not here, but when he took office, he also took two small servants, a groom and a cook, and after taking office, a local rich family sent a few maids in. Just over three months ago, I just took a concubine.
