Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 179: What I did...

As soon as Xiao Jian opened his mouth, the prime minister closed his eyes and the minister covered his face.

Lu Ji beside him turned pale and red.

He was laughing at his own popularity.

Lu Ji blinked and looked at the chaotic scene around him. Apart from the Xirong people, the guards guarding them, and the people from the Imperial City Department, where else was there?
Especially, he didn't seem to see the people sent by King Yongning.

Lu Ji also felt that the work tonight was done by the people of King Yongning.

Lu Ji couldn't figure it out. Wasn't it already agreed tonight?

Why does this happen again? !

Is this because they simply don’t believe that they will change the content of the negotiations, and they act in advance?

Even so, can't you give them a heads up and let them leave first?
What you did...was too disrespectful of their life and death, right?
At this time, Changping and the others, who were hiding in secret and acting according to their own circumstances, also cried out that they were wronged.

Changping, who is in chaos in the city, can't escape even if he wants to. Could it be that they have to take the secret passage?
But that side of the secret passage is where the fire is most active, and there are all fire fighters there. With their current status, if they fainted, they would probably be handed a bucket of water to put out the fire without finding the secret passage.

Here Thornton turned around and hurried out of the city. On the way, the messenger rushed in front of him. Before Thornton could ask, the other party hurriedly reported to Thornton:
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, an army suddenly appeared in the north and rushed towards us along the official road. The troops stationed in the north have already attacked to block it.

Does this mean that you don’t care about the life or death of Jiangnan officials at all?
He calmly turned his head and glanced at the group of officials behind him. About half of the people here had left their seats in the middle of the banquet.

Thornton heard Xiao Jian's curse and immediately ordered all the envoys here to be killed to "avenge" the little prince Yi Ge.

Did he guess wrong?

"Detain them all and don't allow them to leave!"

At this moment, Mu Ying looked at a group of panicked officials and forgot about the chaos around him, including the sound of enemy attack horns coming from the top of the city.

"Can't they find someone to notify them after they've done this? It's very difficult to do now!"

Looking at Thornton's leaving figure, the officials involved in the peace talks could no longer stand. They supported each other to retain their last bit of dignity.

In addition to this, Mu Ying also thought of Meng Qing who he sent outside the city. Logically speaking, if these people really couldn't get along with the people sent by King Yongning and triggered the subsequent events, then someone must have gone to the city. Report outside the home.

As a result, before he could finish his words, the horn of an enemy attack suddenly came from the top of the city. The expression on Thornton's face suddenly changed, and he turned around to leave.

King Yongning's methods were so straightforward that he set fire to cause trouble internally, and then sent troops to sneak attacks from the outside.

Mu Ying taunted in a low voice. Speaking of which, he did not think that these people would directly fall out with the Yongning King's people, thus causing the subsequent desperate turmoil.

Not being executed immediately was Thornton's last moment of sanity.

There was also a trace of doubt in his eyes——

At this moment, after repeatedly confirming that it was not his men who did all this, Chang Ping suspected that Mei Qian and Chang An had done something on their way out to cause this scene.

The men he sent to keep an eye on were also secretly led away. Some of the people inside must have met with King Yongning's people.

In the end, they ended up like this after meeting each other?
"Is the original greed for life and fear of death now talking about loyalty to the emperor?"

Looking at it this way, didn’t Meng Qing catch the person who tipped off the news?
···
"what happened?"

Before leaving, Thornton did not forget to turn around and order everyone in Hu Chunlin to be temporarily detained.

"Okay, if you are still stubborn when you are about to die, I will-"

But the opponent's strength is too strong, and the armies from the east and west are also rushing to help! "

"north……"

Thornton seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flashed, his expression suddenly became terrifying, and he cursed secretly: "Damn it! We were deceived by that woman!"

The woman Thornton is talking about is Princess Foyou, who is in charge of the army in Lisu Mansion, Qi Fei!

"Could it be that the one in the northwest you are talking about..."

The officials around Thornton were also thinking of someone, and there were not many women who could be remembered by Thornton.

"But didn't that woman fall into a trap and get injured when we fought in the north more than a month ago?"

If Qi Fei hadn't been injured, how could they have dared to come to this place with peace of mind during Jiangnan's peace talks? Qi Fei's reputation in the army was as good as her father's. He finally managed to trick Qi Fei into injuring her, which greatly reduced the morale of the entire Li Su Mansion and forced Li Su Mansion's army to switch from offense to defense.

As a result, these large armies are now attacking south with great momentum. Besides Qi Fei personally leading the troops, who else can achieve such an effect?
"You and I didn't see her hurt with our own eyes..."

Realizing that he had really been tricked, Thornton directly took the horse that the messenger was riding and was about to leave the city and go to the front to supervise the battle.

"Someone is coming."

But before going there, he waved and sent four of the eight personal guards around him back to the city to perform secret duties.

···
The people of Xirong were really rude. They treated officials like Anguo as prisoners and were not even willing to give them a prison with a shed.

A group of officials from Anguo and the Imperial City were imprisoned directly in a large sheepfold.

Don't ask them why they knew this was a sheepfold. Someone should have known where they were by looking at the dung balls on the ground and the stomach-churning sheep odor floating in the air.

Although no weapons were taken away from the people of the Imperial City Division, this numerical difference was enough to make them stay calm.

But what Mu Ying didn't expect was that not long after, he saw a group of people he sent out come back with disgrace and faces full of black smoke? !

Looking at the group of Xirong soldiers behind them, Mu Ying's face turned dark.

Needless to say, Meng Qing was also arrested.

And he was caught out of the secret passage in the sea of ​​​​fire that had just been extinguished.

This Mi Tai Jin actually started fighting with someone at first glance.

Before Mu Ying could ask Meng Qing why he was caught outside the city, Meng Qing asked Mu Ying first:

"Commander, what is going on here? We were arrested as soon as we came back."

When Mu Ying heard Meng Qing's words, veins popped out on his forehead. He stared at Meng Qing and asked, "I also want to know what happened and why you came back and were arrested."

Meng Qing: "My lord, didn't you order someone to call me back?"

Mu Ying:? ? ?
"When will I let you come back?"

Mu Ying was speechless after hearing Meng Qing's words. He knew that Meng Qing had been deceived again.

"Who asked you to come back?"

Seeing Mu Ying's expression, Meng Qing immediately understood that he had indeed been tricked. He opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, but for a moment he didn't know where to start.

"grown ups……"

Meng Qing was stunned for a long time and then said: "You didn't send someone to tell me that there was an accident in the city, and the rebels secretly set fire to cause trouble, right?"

What do you think? Seeing Meng Qing looking so slow, Mu Ying was furious, "Do you believe what anyone says?" "

"No, no, but that person has the token of our Imperial City Department..." Meng Qing told about the token he saw tonight.

Mu Ying was also surprised when he heard Meng Qing's words, but when he heard the color of the token, Mu Ying laughed angrily.

"Have you seen that our tokens are khaki in color?"

Meng Qing said honestly: "No."

"No, don't you doubt it?"

"But he said it's exclusive to you..."

"I'm not in such bad taste that I have to use khaki. Besides, what kind of metal is khaki? A jade token is possible, but its shape is different from that of metal.

The kind you are talking about is our company’s metal token format, and that color is unless..."

Mu Ying said to himself that he suddenly paused at the end. Of course he knew that the color of the token must have been artificially changed.

As for the color before it was changed——

Thinking of this, Mu Ying turned to look at Meng Qing again and said word by word: "Tell me again what happened to you tonight from beginning to end!"

Mu Ying: The old lady got under the covers and made me laugh. Don't let me catch who did it!
Mei Qian:......
