Seeing the people of Liaodong below whispering and scorning those who had forgotten their ancestors, Lu Xiangsheng found it difficult to open his mouth. After hesitating for a while, he finally continued: "I have something very important to do. Just wait and listen." alright!"

Upon hearing this, all the people became quiet, a little curious about what important thing Governor Denglai was going to announce?

"The troops and horses under my command are limited, and they are not enough to defend Liaoyang. We will evacuate in the near future!" When Lu Xiangsheng said this, when he saw the faces of the Liaoyang people below, all of them suddenly changed their faces and showed fear, he did not stop at all and continued He said loudly, "But don't worry, I have arrangements for you and the others!"

Hearing this, the people in Liaoyang who were a little panicked finally suppressed their panic, but they still looked at Governor Denglai worriedly. For them, they finally had the hope of a good life, but in just a blink of an eye, these good days would be gone. The sudden and sudden mood swings really made their emotions fluctuate a bit.

Lu Xiangsheng's face was very serious. If there was hope, he certainly didn't want to give up immediately after conquering Liaoyang. It's just that there is nothing we can do, and there is nothing we can do about it. Just listen to him saying seriously: "If you don't want to be enslaved by the Jianlu again, you can go to the Dongjiang River. As long as you escape to the island, the Jianlu will not be able to do anything to you. The emperor has also been prepared to procure food from the Nanyang countries thousands of miles away. Send food to Dongjiang. As the governor of Denglai, I can give you a guarantee here. As long as I have something to eat, you will have something to eat!"

"If you don't want to leave and want to stay in Liaoyang, I won't force you. But after Jianlu comes back, I can't say what they will do to you!" Although Lu Xiangsheng said this, based on his understanding, He was afraid that Jianlu would retaliate against the people who stayed in Liaoyang.

When he said this, he saw that all the people in Liaoyang below were looking at each other with pale faces, with frightened expressions on their faces, and many of them were even shaking their heads. Obviously, they also understand the situation of staying in Liaoyang.

Lu Xiangsheng paused for a moment, giving them all time to think, and then said loudly: "I know that it is not that easy to escape to Dongjiang and escape with a way out. It is very likely that on the way to Dongjiang, , will be caught up by the Jianlu. But don’t worry, I will try my best to attract the Jianlu and prevent them from having time to chase you!"

Hearing this, the people below immediately started talking: "Why, aren't we leaving with Master Zhongcheng?"

"Without the protection of the army, how can we go on the road?"

"..."

Obviously, many people are very worried when they know that they are going to go on the road alone. But some people thought more about it and immediately responded to them in a low voice: "How many men and horses do you think the Prime Minister has? If we go together, Jianlu will definitely chase us. We have no horses, can we escape?"

"Yes, if there were enough men and horses, Mr. Zhongcheng would not leave. Don't even think about it. Mr. Zhongcheng said that even Liaoyang cannot be defended by such a high wall. Do you think that when we are on the way? , are caught up by Jianlu, will Master Zhongcheng and us still have a way to survive?"

"..."

In addition to these remarks, there are also people who use themselves to save others and have dark thoughts: "How can an official take risks and let ordinary people like us escape safely?"

"Yes, maybe we attracted Jianlu's attention, and then Master Zhongcheng sneaked back with his people!"

"..."

Various comments were mixed together. Although everyone was talking in a low voice, there were so many people that the square was buzzing.

Wei Mulan stood next to Lu Xiangsheng, looking at the people in Liaoyang below who were whispering, or someone's voice was a little louder, or that person was hiding in the crowd on purpose. In the end, the remarks were a little too loud, and Wei Mulan was Mulan heard it.

As the liaison between Emperor Chongzhen and Lu Xiangsheng, Wei Mulan naturally knew the entire plan. At this time, some people actually doubted Lu Zhongcheng's words, thinking that Lu Zhongcheng wanted to use them to attract the attention of Jianlu, so that he could safely retreat to Dongjiang.

Such remarks made Wei Mulan, who had always had a good temper, turn red with anger. She glanced at the source of the sound, thinking of finding out the speaker and asking him if he had any conscience.

However, Lu Xiangsheng noticed her abnormality, reached out and patted her shoulder, and then shook his head slightly at Wei Mulan who looked at him. It’s impossible to explain to these people. Anyway, they have a clear conscience. In the following days, they will naturally understand the truth!

Sometimes, ordinary people are like this, a bit bullying and afraid of the strong. If you are cruel to them, they will obey you. If you are nice to them, they will slap you in the face. There was an extreme example of this kind of thing in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, which made people sigh after seeing that history.

In the original history, Li Dingguo led his army south. During the battle to conquer Xinhui, the gateway to Guangzhou, the people of Xinhui believed that if they helped Li Dingguo, the Manchus would definitely massacre the city when they came back; but if they helped the Manchus defend the city, even if Li Dingguo captured Xinhui, Yes, because he is kind and will not do anything to them. As a result, the "emotional" scene of helping the Manchus defend the city was staged. Li Dingguo's elite soldiers and horses were eventually trapped here, and they were no longer able to regain Guangdong and assist Nanming.

Today's Lu Xiangsheng is not as merciful as Li Dingguo. After all, he comes from the civil service class. In the original history, he killed countless bandits, and he was nicknamed Lu Yan Wang for this. At this time, although he stopped Wei Mulan, he did not explain. He just said loudly: "Those of you who are willing to go to Dongjiang should pack your things after returning home and make preparations. There will be a notice to set off in the next two days."

After saying that, he strode away. When Liu Xingzhi on the side saw this, he replaced Lu Xiangsheng and loudly ordered: "You will take care of yourself at home. Make your own decision whether to go or stay. Martial law will continue in the city, and military law will be ruthless to anyone who dares to walk around randomly!"

Wei Mulan ignored this and went straight to catch up with Lu Xiangsheng, saying angrily: "Master Zhongcheng, those villains should be caught out!"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he turned to Wei Mulan and smiled slightly: "Didn't you say villain? It won't affect the big things, so why bother with this kind of people!"

Between the words, it was as if it was dust, just flick it, don't worry about it at all!

When Wei Mulan heard this, she thought about it, smiled, and nodded. When she was about to say something, she suddenly froze.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng saw her action, he knew that the emperor might have some intention to convey, so he stood still and waited for Wei Mulan to speak.
