Take a train to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 77 Public opinion must not be violated

Lin Xun gathered his mental power, and his right hand hidden behind him began to dance secretly. He was beginning to perform witchcraft.

Looking at the flammable firewood buildings on both sides of the market, Lin Xun pointed with his left hand, and saw a small fireball appear instantly, and after attaching to the firewood, a raging fire instantly ignited.

"It's not good! It's on fire!"

After setting the fire, Lin Xun didn't give up, and let out a loud roar.

"what!"

"Fire, run away!"

With the sound of screams from the crowd, there was a commotion in the crowd.

Under Lin Xun's control, the fire cast by this witchcraft cannot be extinguished by ordinary well water. What's more, the fire is still spreading.

"Brother, you said to increase the fire, but you actually set the fire!" Zhao Yun next to him was really powerless to complain, looking at his unscrupulous boss, thinking whether it was a wise decision to follow him.

Lin Xun smiled, and said to Zhao Yun: "I set the fire because I saw you there. Well, it's time for you to work. If you see anyone in danger, rescue them quickly!"

"Okay!" Zhao Yun dispelled the thought just now, and quickly used his agility to run to save those who might be burned.

The flames were soaring into the sky, the crowds were surging, and the most stressful place was at the city gate. The people who wanted to escape all wanted to get out of the city gate. Their retreat had been covered by the fire, and the only way to save their lives was to open the gate. The gates let them out, so as to ensure that ordinary people are not harmed.

"My lord, do you want to open the city gate?" Seeing that the situation was out of control, a soldier couldn't help asking the official guarding the city.

"I, I'll go up and ask Master Yuan what he means." The man was also a little panicked, cold sweat dripping down at the sight of the turbulent and huge crowd, "You stay here for now!"

"My lord, if you don't open the city gate, the common people will be in danger!"

"Everything must be obeyed by the leader!" The city guard official said such a light sentence, and then twisted his fat buttocks and climbed up the city wall.

On the city wall, Cao Cao and Yuan Xi were condescending, and they noticed the intensifying fire.

Cao Cao slapped the city wall and said to Yuan Xi, "Master Yuan, the people are in danger, why don't you open the city gate!"

Yuan Xi's face was cloudy, and then his face became ruthless, and he even shouted at the city guard who was about to run up: "Defend the city gate! Don't let anyone out!"

"Master Yuan, you are disregarding the life and death of the people!" Cao Cao couldn't help but said angrily, with the raging fire reflected in his eyes.

"This must be the plot of the Yellow Turban rebels. They want to get out of the city with despicable means. We can't fall into the trap!" Yuan Xi said coldly and firmly, but he snorted coldly in his heart: Lin Xun, you are so brave!

"Master Yuan!" Cao Cao shouted loudly.

Yuan Xi also showed no signs of fear, pointed at his official uniform, and said in a cold voice: "Why, are you going to disobey my will?"

This time, it was Yuan Xi who used his official position to suppress others. The position of governor was definitely the highest official position in Youzhou. Even Cao Cao had to bow his head.

The city guard official received Yuan Xi's message when he walked halfway up the stairs of the city wall, and immediately shouted: "Master Yuan has an order not to open the city gate! No one is allowed to go out!"

"Snapped!"

"Hey, which troublemaker is it?"

As soon as the yelling city guard official finished speaking, a pair of straw sandals immediately slammed at him, hitting the official hat, and gave him a heavy blow on the head, which was also mixed with some interesting attacks.

"Crack, snap, snap!"

This was another three pairs of straw sandals, but this time it was a direct slap in the face.

"Hmph, a group of unreasonable people!"

The city guard official drank angrily, then shrank his head and hid behind the city wall.

As time slowly passed, the fire became more and more intense, and the strong smell of smoke made Lin Xun frown a little. Lin Xun really didn't expect Yuan Xi to still insist on closing the city gate under such circumstances.

Yuan Xi's heart is definitely hard enough. After miscalculating his opponent, Lin Xun was also a little annoyed. The fire behind him was too big to be under his control.

The people surrounded by the fire were flustered, and they also showed anger when they saw the soldiers blocked by swords and the closed city gates.

"Open the city gate!"

"Open the city gate! Open the city gate! Open the city gate!"

I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and the people also raised their right hands one after another, and shouted in unison with the rhythm, their voices became higher and stronger each time.

And as they shouted, the people in the front row even took the courage to walk forward slowly, facing the soldier with the sword.

"Master Yuan, what should we do?" the city guard official asked as he wiped away a drop of cold sweat as he looked at the overwhelming crowd.

Yuan Xi looked at the people in the city, and said in a cold voice, "Tell your subordinates to guard them carefully!"

Yuan Xi was determined to fight Lin Xun.

The voices of the people under the city wall became louder and louder, and the roar of thousands of people was about to break through the sky.

Even with a sword in hand, the soldiers guarding the city were forced to retreat step by step when looking at the people who were so imposing. The troops of hundreds of people were all squeezed in front of the city gate.

"Open the city gate! Open the city gate! Open the city gate!"

The flames soared into the sky and the smoke filled the air, but the voices of the people were still shouting.

"Come on!"

With the roar of the pioneer warrior, one of the first people looked directly at the cold sword and rushed towards the city gate. The people behind him also responded to his call and rushed over with him.

According to the orders of the superiors, of course the city gate must be guarded, otherwise it would be a heavy responsibility of dereliction of duty, but looking at the unfamiliar and familiar faces in the crowd, could they not lift the sword in their hands? The formation was dispersed by the swarming people.

Naturally, among the soldiers, there were many ruthless people who raised their swords and wanted to slash people to frighten the crazy crowd, but just as they raised their swords, they were knocked down by Zhao Yun who was mixed in the crowd.

"Quick, hold on, don't let the Yellow Turban rebels escape!" Looking at the chaotic situation, Yuan Xi roared angrily while standing on the city wall.

Of course his voice was quickly drowned out by the din of thousands of people.

The situation was no longer under the control of the city guards.

The city gate was so big that eight carriages could walk side by side; the city gate was so small that it was easily pushed open by hundreds of people!
City gate, open!
"Hahaha, I'm saved!"

"I'm alive!"

The people who ran out of the city gate without any worries about their lives were of course relieved, and vented their emotions joyfully.

As for Yuan Xi on top of the city wall, his face turned the color of pig liver again.

Cao Cao looked condescendingly at the people outside the city gate, and said quietly to Yuan Xi: "Master Yuan, the public opinion must not be violated!"
