Chapter 242 This is a naked threat
Although Yun Jiyou did not admit it, in Yuan Qi's eyes, the other party's attitude was almost equivalent to acquiescence.
Oh shit...
This guy is really ready to burn!
Yuan Qi, who had experienced many battles, couldn't help but be shocked at this moment, and stammered slightly, "This, this is not good, right?"
After all, it was the relief money and food allocated by the imperial court. If they said they would burn it, then they would burn it. Just based on that intuition that something was wrong, what if...
What if nothing happened and they were just scaring themselves? How will they explain it then?
Yun Jiyou leaned forward slightly, raised his head, and stared at the sky that was emitting a pale white glow. "If these things become sharp swords that backfire and stab us, then burning them is the only thing we can do."
The seemingly weak scholar actually speaks with great force.
From the profile of his jade-white face, Yuan Qi vaguely saw the surging force hidden deep in the other party's bones, and the overwhelming aura shocked Yuan Qi.
-
Xi'an City.
At this time, the city of Xi'an had experienced three days and three nights of war. The soldiers were exhausted both physically and mentally. They could not think of anything else except fighting numbly to kill the enemy.
Rong Qingzhu had been urged to leave by Han Yaojun several times, but he refused without a second thought.
Not only that, he also climbed the city wall several times.
On two occasions, his life was snatched away by the hands of the King of Hell. If someone had not rescued him both times, he would have become a cold corpse long ago.
Rong Qingzhu's actions unconsciously changed the views of many soldiers who originally had prejudices against him.
After repelling another strong attack, Han Yaojun and the others sat down on the spot without caring about their image, opened their legs, took off their helmets, put them aside, and breathed heavily.
Everyone knew that they wouldn't be able to rest for long.
As they held on longer and the timeline stretched out longer, they could clearly feel that the attacks from under the city were becoming more intense, with a hint of obvious impatience.
Han Yaojun sat and rested for a while, then stood up, walked to the city wall, and stood side by side with Rong Qingzhu.
At the same time, looking at the city below which was glowing with light, he saw corpses everywhere. They all seemed to be dressed as soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This scene...
No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel disheartened. The feeling of grief for the death of the rabbit lingers in everyone's mind and it takes a long time to calm down.
Killing each other is never a pleasant thing.
Han Yaojun still remembers what the secret guard Chu Jiang sent that day told him.
To this end, he looked past the many rebels under the city wall and into the distance, as if he wanted to cross the horizon and see the city of Xianyang in the distance.
"Chu Er led people to sneak into Xianyang City, but I don't know what the situation in Xianyang City is now?"
Although this plan was proposed by Chu Jiang, Han Yaojun deeply agreed with it.
He was a military general and could see things more clearly than anyone else. Although Qi Jianshu hurriedly gathered the 50,000 troops in Xianyang City.
But the time was too short. The conflict between Western Chu and Great Zhou had a long history and it was impossible to successfully subdue them in a day or two.
Even though these rebels are now following Qi Jianshu to attack the city, it does not mean that they have united with Western Chu.
Besides...
It is human nature to be suspicious, and it is impossible for Qi Jianshu to completely trust the rebels.
The rebels could naturally sense such a subtle attitude.
It is easy to take action if there is a gap. No one wants to work hard for others and then have to face the other party's contempt!
Rong Qingzhu was calm and said slowly, "Chu Er is Qi Bai's confidant. With him, even if we can't accomplish the task right away, we should be able to escape without any problems."
"You seem to trust Chu Jiang." Han Yaojun glanced sideways.
He knew Chu Jiang's true identity and that he was the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. That was why he felt a little surprised.
The Rong family has never been involved in party politics, and is only loyal to His Majesty...
Rong Qingzhu still keeps good relations with the Crown Prince even though she knows that he supports the Third Prince?
Aren’t you afraid that Your Majesty will be suspicious?
"Of course." Rong Qingzhu replied without thinking.
There are not many people in this world that he can trust, and he cannot trust others easily when he is in the officialdom.
Its white is one.
It was not because Qibai saved him, but more because he had never seen any ugly desires or selfishness in Qibai's eyes.
Unexpectedly, Han Yaojun's next words brought Rong Qingzhu back to his senses completely.
"I believe him too."
"But for some things, just believing is not enough. Chu Qibai may be able to do it, but the people under him may not be able to do it. The world is unpredictable, and people's hearts are hard to predict."
Rong Qingzhu remained silent for a moment before saying, "At this point, we can only choose to believe."
They had no choice but to hold on and wait for help.
The soldiers in the city were holding on only with their last breath and determination, while the rebels and Qi Jianshu outside the city were under doubled pressure.
The rebels have already embarked on this path and naturally cannot turn back. Once they turn back, they can also foresee a tragic ending.
Qi Jianshu is because...
He was burdened with the pressure of propping up the Qi family's reputation once again, and was chosen to be the vanguard this time, thanks to the favors and connections left by the previous generation.
If they fail to become famous in one battle, the Qi family will face even greater pressure when they return to Western Chu.
The Qi family had been away from the Western Chu court for many years. If they failed this time, their return would become a beautiful dream that would vanish into thin air.
Qi Jianshu went from being calm and composed at the beginning to becoming noticeably impatient starting from yesterday evening.
In a state of impatience, he sent his cronies to urge the tens of thousands of troops on both the east and west sides to cooperate with him in the pincer attack, and told them to attack the city day and night, and they must take it as soon as possible.
Qi Jianshu's intention to capture Xi'an City is obvious, but his attitude may not be supported by the generals of the Great Zhou on the east and west sides!
As subordinates of the Eighth Prince, they have already chosen the Eighth Prince and taken sides.
The plan this time was also ordered by the Eighth Prince, and they were responsible for its execution.
No matter how much they thought that cooperating with Xi Chu was undoubtedly courting disaster and was not a good choice.
But the Eighth Prince simply wouldn't listen to their persuasion. As his subjects, they were all on the Eighth Prince's boat, so naturally they had no choice but to go on.
It was not their original intention to secretly mobilize troops to besiege the city of Xi'an.
It's so frustrating to be forced into a desperate situation.
They felt even more uncomfortable when an unknown general from Western Chu came to command them and urged them to attack the city.
They believe that they cannot resist the pressure from the Eighth Prince, but that doesn't mean they really want to be the running dogs of the Western Chu people!
For this reason, Qi Jianshu was very clear about this, and he deliberately told his people to tell them that if the mission failed, their cooperation with him would be made public...
It depends on them whether they want to fall into disgrace or continue to live a prosperous life.
This is a naked threat.
