"Any questions?"
"... Shule City is in danger!!" Asuduo said decisively.
"Father, you must organize defense immediately!"
"Huh?" The corners of the deputy city lord's mouth twitched.
"Asuduo, you are indeed my favorite son, and the great wizard of the Holy City also admires you."
"But you have to understand that you can't just talk about this kind of thing."
"I'm not talking nonsense." Asuduo quickly analyzed it for the deputy city lord.
"With so many outposts, it's impossible to lie at the same time!"
"Even if some people are talking nonsense, is everyone talking nonsense?"
"They must have seen a Tang army——"
"And I'm afraid there's a certain scale that would at least scare them."
"And after that, they never sent back any news. I'm afraid-"
I'm afraid it won't end well.
"in addition……"
"Father, we have to go to the city gate."
At the gate of Shule City, several Tumo soldiers arrogantly blocked a convoy of vehicles.
"What are you guys doing!?"
Before the other side could say anything, they pounced on the donkeys and mules like wolves, tearing apart the burlap sacks on them.
Then he picked up a knife and gun and stabbed it randomly, causing the goods, cloth, and grain contained inside to roll all over the floor.
Then comes the looting.
"Warriors, don't, don't."
The people in the convoy were almost crying, and even knelt down and begged the Tumo soldiers to stop robbing them.
However, the person on the other side pulled out the knife and wanted to give them some color.
Those who didn't draw a knife just started beating the vendors head and face with whips and wooden sticks.
"Warrior, don't!"
Seeing this, the leader of the convoy quickly took out the gold and silver treasures to bribe the team leader at the gate of the city.
After increasing the price twice in a row, the team leader was satisfied.
"Yeah, okay, the inspection is over."
"You can go in."
He raised his chin and signaled the soldiers carrying large and small bags to stop.
"Okay."
"Today's tax will be collected here."
"Hey hey hey." The soldiers who took a handful of wool gave up and returned to their posts with a smile on their face.
Before leaving, he would inevitably spit on the person on the ground or give him a strong kick.
"Riding on a horse!"
"It looks pretty solid."
After a Tumo soldier kicked him, he cursed and shook his numb feet.
"Man, are you okay?" The leader of the convoy pulled up a vendor who had been beaten the hardest.
"It's all right."
The peddler smiled.
"Don't forget that I am half Khotanese."
I saw that under his skin, there was a faint, jade-like luster.
he whispered.
"You vomiting fanzi, kicking me will only hurt your feet."
"Ah That's good."
The team leader nodded.
"I'll find a doctor to treat you later."
Soon, the storm passed.
Just when the convoy disappeared into the city and started to swerve around.
Asuduo on the top of the city had a smile on his lips.
"It's exactly what I thought."
"Father, my judgment was not wrong!"
"Do they have any problems?" the deputy city leader asked.
After all, this kind of thing is really common.
He really didn't see anything strange.
"Father." Asuduo said meaningfully.
"Haven't you noticed that there are too many young men entering the city?"
"..." After carefully considering the scene just now, the deputy city lord suddenly realized.
"So it is!"
Chapter 133 - Night of Troubles
The deputy city lord didn’t notice it before.
But after Asuduo reminded him, he reacted immediately.
Although those people are well hidden, their composition is also very mixed, including Sogdiana, Tushi, Khotan, Shule, Boli... everything.
Dressed up as various traders, refugees, doctors, herdsmen, etc., they all look very similar——
Maybe it was.
However, they still showed flaws.
There are too many young people sneaking in.
This is not an attempt to cause trouble, that is just hell!
"It's exactly as the city lord expected. Some people can't sit still so soon."
The deputy city lord sighed.
He understood what his son meant and felt that he already knew the truth——
It is impossible for so many outposts to lie at the same time. There should indeed be a Tang army rushing towards Shule City.
In addition, the city lord had just gone on an expedition, and there were changes in Shule City.
It seemed that the Tang people from somewhere had used unknown means to gather an army.
They cooperated with an unknown wizard to create a strange movement, and then used the strange movement to attract the city lord and lead the army to encircle and suppress——
Afterwards, he cooperated with the internal forces in the city and captured the city in one fell swoop!
"Tsk, I can't tell."
"The person who presided over this plan has some brains."
After thinking for a while, the deputy city lord suddenly realized.
If you're not careful, this plan might actually succeed!
After all, once Shule City falls into the hands of the Tang army——
Hiss, it won’t be another ten years of hard work!
He was deeply impressed by the white-haired veterans of the Anxi Army.
Back then, the Tumo Empire fought in the Western Regions until mountains of corpses and blood were shed, and they barely managed to capture the old soldiers with white hair.
If Tang Jun is allowed to get another city...
He didn't even dare to think about what the consequences would be!
No!
This city must not be lost!
"Pay attention to their movements." He quickly called his cronies and ordered them.
"Get ready warriors, it seems it's time to go on a killing spree."
The deputy city lord paced back and forth, thinking about countermeasures.
"Get rid of all the traitors first - well, kill the suspects directly. At this time, we don't care about the evidence."
After cleaning up Shule City, we can deal with the unknown Tang army according to the situation.
If you can beat him, then your great success will be in vain.
If you can't defeat them, then you can defend the city for a period of time until the city lord returns for reinforcements.
Under attack from two sides, the Tang army will be defeated!
"Father, you must not do this!"
Hearing that his father was planning to go on a killing spree, Asuduo hurriedly stopped him.
"This is just to alert the enemy!"
"It seems to have stabilized the situation, but in fact it is very detrimental to us——"
"Keep talking." The deputy city lord said.
His son's brain is at least better than his, so it should be okay to listen to his opinions more at this time.
Asuduo nodded and explained.
"If we arrest people now, it is impossible to catch all the rebels."
"Even if we catch some and execute them all, it may not be able to deter potential rebels. Instead, it may make them more determined to commit rebellion."
"And if we don't catch them all out, once the Tang army arrives outside the city and they cause trouble again when the Tang army attacks the city..."
Asuduo did not continue.
But the deputy city lord already understood.
"It seems reasonable, but..." he asked doubtfully.
"Asuduo, you seem to have not considered at all the situation of the city lord's return for reinforcements."
"Do you think the Lord of the City has..."
The deputy city lord felt incredible.
Rajmaya leads an extremely powerful force.
But in the eyes of his son, the other party has been completely wiped out?
Or, even if there is no defeat, at least there will be no manpower available to help in a short period of time——
"Father, I didn't say that." Asuduo smiled sweetly.
"But, father, don't you think we should prepare for the worst?"
"..." The deputy city lord was silent for a while.
Yes, the Tang army appeared out of nowhere, and anything could happen to the city lord.
