Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

The team leader didn't think much of this and just whispered:

"Maybe I'm just overthinking it...but General, please be careful."

Unknowingly, a seed was planted in Qu Yu's heart. He was originally skeptical about the captain's words. However, in the next few days, he really found that several people seemed to be discussing something without talking to himself, and he could hear it from a distance.

"Can't... let him know."

"This matter must be kept secret..."

And then, I was sent to bear the adults’ anger from time to time, watching the adults’ faces turn black! !

Until one day, the team leader reported something bad and heard something bad, so he told himself to be careful.

Qu Yu didn't know anything until he and Lieutenant General Xu were sent to the east gate to defend a city wall. As a result, because they were eating, drinking and having fun without paying attention, they were distracted and the Goddess Cult almost attacked the city wall.

Although they fought back in time, the adult was furious and almost made an example of him and nearly beat him to death. The others did not dare to say anything and just lowered their heads when facing his eyes asking for help.

Qu Yu's heart was completely chilled!

After receiving the beating, Qu Yu said nothing. At this moment, the team leader suddenly whispered in his ear.

"Deputy General Qu... Actually... I have a relative in the Goddess Cult..."

"!!!"

……

……

Outside the city, the stalemate in the siege not only made Song Zhi upset, but Meng Xiang, who was attacking the city, also became a little impatient.

Nowadays, morale is important in everything we do. Regular soldiers need it, and these scattered soldiers need it even more.

Even though there was enough food, Meng Xiang still had patience in the face of the situation where the attack was taking too long.

However, the successive defeats in the next few days resulted in the loss of a large number of manpower. Even though he knew that this was a plan, Meng Xiang could not help it, and so did his soldiers.

"Mr. Lu, is this really possible?!"

"We've already sent more than a thousand people away! If this continues, the morale of the entire team will be gone!"

Looking at the anxious Meng Xiang, Lu Shanshan raised her eyes:

"Don't worry, General. It's just a thousand men. It shouldn't be a big deal to you..."

"It's not a big deal, but I'm a little worried... Is your plan really feasible? Can the people you arrange in it really help us capture the city in one fell swoop?"

Looking at Meng Xiang's anxious look, Lu Shanshan knew it was time, so she nodded.

"Don't worry, the people inside should get the credit for the several times you sent them. It's time."

"Tonight at midnight, the city gates will be wide open, and we can attack the city!"

"Really! You are worthy of being called a gentleman! You are so smart! I, Old Meng, admire you!"

Dreams make you smile.

Meanwhile, in the provincial government, Qu Yu, who had seen through the schemes of the Goddess Cult several times, received praise from Song Zhi one after another. For a time, he was in the limelight and the previous sluggish atmosphere was completely gone.

Because of his alertness and vigilance, he was able to turn defeat into victory several times. In a short period of time, he was promoted from a deputy general to a small commander who could be in charge of a thousand soldiers.

The team leader congratulated with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, General. Congratulations, General. You have got what you wished for..."

Qu Yu also laughed.

"Thanks to you, I didn't expect that your relative in the Goddess Cult has such a high status that he could give me so much information."

"Don't worry, I won't forget your contribution. As long as we defeat the Goddess Cult this time, I will immediately promote you to be my deputy general and ensure that you enjoy endless wealth and glory."

Qu Yu laughed, but the team leader narrowed his eyes and suddenly said.

"Thank you, General. However, I do not need wealth and glory. If possible, I would like to ask you for a favor..."

"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me..."

"Tonight at midnight, open the city gates..."

Qu Yu was stunned.

"You are a very good joker, I am telling you..."

However, before he could finish, the team leader interrupted him and said word by word:

"General, you don't want your letter of treason to be sent to Lord Song, do you?"

At this moment, Qu Yu suddenly felt something was wrong. The corners of his mouth stiffened and he looked at him with scrutiny.

"What do you mean."

"It's nothing. Your Excellency, you should know the temper of Prefect Song. If he finds out that you are collaborating with the enemy... do you think you will have a good ending?"

Seeing Qu Yu put his hand on the hilt of the knife without leaving any trace, his whole body tense, the team leader smiled slightly.

"Killing me is useless. I have prepared several letters and will deliver them to Prefect Song when the time comes. Given his temper, I'm afraid your fate will not be good."

"So before that, I hope the general will be more sensible, at least you can still keep your life when the time comes..."

"So you are from the Goddess Cult... No wonder, no wonder you knew their attack route..."

The captain grinned.

"I'm sorry that you guessed wrong. How can a mere Goddess Cult let me serve you..."

Qu Yu was shocked.

"Whose are you then?!"

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is, Commander Qu, do you want to live... I remember that you have a younger sister..."

"In fact, I lied to you before.

The target is not you, but your beautiful sister... I don't think you want your sister to appear..."

"you dare!"

Qu Yu shouted angrily and glared at him fiercely.

However, the captain is indeed worthy of praise.

"Then it depends on your choice... After all, your choice concerns the future of you and your sister, doesn't it?"

"I think you should know, Commander. Is a man like Prefect Song really worthy of your service? Have you forgotten that your relatives were killed by refugees? If he hadn't coveted the emergency food, how could the refugees have been so rampant?"

For a moment, Qu Yu fell into silence...

……

Chapter 615 Breaking the City (4000)

The night came unknowingly and it was already midnight.

Outside the city, due to the previous plan, the Goddess Cult moved half a mile closer to the city wall. The two enemy sides faced each other, and for a moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

At this time, Meng Xiang also clenched his heart, feeling a little uncertain:

"Sir, are you sure the city gate can be opened at midnight?"

"What, you don't believe me?"

Lu Shanshan glanced at him and looked at him calmly.

"Hey, of course not. I'm worried. After all, we're so close. If we get any closer, we'll be within the range of an arrow."

Lu Shanshan ignored him, and Meng Xiang felt uncomfortable, muttering in his heart that women are really mean and not generous at all.

Isn't it just a question?

However, although he thought so in his heart, he did not say anything on the surface, but just stared at the city gate in the distance.

At this time, some hidden members of the Goddess Cult were sticking to the wall, ready to strike.

As long as the city gates were opened, they would rush forward to seize the opportunity for the army to arrive and protect the city gates.

However, the Song army on the city gate was unaware of this, and the people below could still hear sporadic complaints and chattering from above.

"It's really troublesome. I thought I could follow the general and eat good meat and drink good wine, and I would be rich in the future. What kind of life is it now? I have to stay up all night to guard, and it might even cost me my life."

He yawned deeply and complained:

"Those traitors from the Goddess Cult are the same. They keep harassing us all day long. Why would they fight to the death with us? Go and plunder other things! Although we have a lot of good things in our city, it has been under siege for almost a month. It's not worth it!"

The voice above carried an incomprehensible complaint.

"This Goddess Cult is related to the one above us..."

"Related?"

The voice suddenly became smaller, with a hint of gossip.

"That's the one at the top. I heard that he was also taught by the goddess..."

"No way!?"

"Didn't you hear what the person at the door said earlier? He said that our prefect was unworthy of the position and was disguised by the Goddess Cult, but was betrayed, so he attacked us."

"Is this true? This must be fake, right?"

He looked confused. He was not guarding the city gate at that time, so he didn't know the situation here. Moreover, the prefect had issued a gag order, saying that this was a rumor and should not be spread at will, so the matter did not spread widely.

"Who knows whether it's true or not... Why do those people from the Goddess Cult have to find this excuse? I think it's probably true, otherwise the people from the Goddess Cult would fight to the death here."

"If... our prefect is really a fake, just imagine, we finally let him pretend to be the prefect, but in the end he was betrayed and used. Who wouldn't be upset? I'm afraid he would be skinned alive."

The companion said secretly, and seeing the curious look on the face of the person next to him, he was about to say something, but at this time the commander came over.

"What are you guys talking about here?"

The two were so frightened that they immediately became obedient.

"Commander, it's nothing, we are just chatting..."

"Is that right?"

Qu Yu nodded, without further investigation, and suddenly said:

"By the way, I paid for everyone's treat. Today we have porridge and dried meat. You can go get some. You guys can go too!"

"But guarding the gates..."

"Don't worry, let the guys behind me help you. It won't take long anyway. I see you've all been working hard."

The two men looked and saw that there were indeed soldiers coming behind the commander under the flickering light of the fire, but because they were standing in the shadow of the parapet and could not reach the firelight, the two men did not see it at first.

But why are these "soldiers" so unfamiliar?

Although I felt a little strange, who wouldn't want to drink free porridge? There was also meat, and there was someone to take over for me temporarily.

The strange emotions in their hearts flashed away, and the two of them were delighted. They quickly thanked him and hurried away.

"This Commander Qu is really good."

"Isn't it? Much better than the others."

Seeing the two people leave, Qu Yu's expression was unclear.

Afterwards, he did the same thing and tricked away several patrolling soldiers near the city gate and replaced them with his own men.

"Do you really want to do this?"

"It's too late to regret now, Commander Qu."

The figure hidden in the armor spoke softly, with a bewitching tone.

"Now that things have come to this, you still have

"Is there a chance to regret it? Besides, do you really want to work for that prefect? ​​A person who doesn't serve the people but only himself, who is selfish and has no moral integrity?"

Qu Yu was silent, then lowered his eyes.

The group quickly took action.

According to the predetermined plan, they operated the crane, pulled the bolt, and some people quickly walked to the city gate and slowly opened it.

By the wall, the people from the Goddess Cult, who had been waiting for a long time, finally heard a creaking sound.
