Spare my life! The princess can make the villains read each other's minds

Inside the office of the governor of Qianshan Province, a fat and big-eared official was walking back and forth in the room. Several civil and military officials stood beside him. Each of them was looking at the fat official, their eyes following him around.

Last night, all the city warehouses, military granaries, war horses and other military supplies in Qianshan Province disappeared.

Then this morning, the Qingshan Army marched towards Qianshan Province.

After one day, more than 80% of the cities in Qianshan Province had been occupied by the Qingshan Army.

All the occupied cities surrendered voluntarily.

The reason for surrender was very simple. The soldiers defending the city had no weapons, and the people in the city did not help defend the city. Some soldiers defending the city, who were supposed to defend the city resolutely, were attacked by the people, resulting in the fall of the city.

It can be imagined that the Qingshan Army had definitely planned this for a long time and had already hidden a large number of spies among the people to instigate them to rebel.

The fat official was Sun Gui, the governor of Qianshan Province. When he received news of the fall of cities one after another, Sun Gui became so anxious that he kept jumping up and down.

"I am too kind to the people. I can even feed them and give them the energy to rebel!"

"If I had known this would happen, I should not have left them any food. I would have taken all the food away and made them all starve to death. How can they open the city gates to welcome the Qingshan Army?"

Tian Youguang, the general of the Qianshan Army, said anxiously, "Sir, the Qingshan Army is advancing like a hot knife through butter. If we don't take strong measures to stop their momentum, they may appear outside Jicheng before dawn tomorrow, ready to attack Jicheng."

Jicheng is the central city of Qianshan Province, with a garrison of 40,000 troops!

Sun Gui gritted his teeth and said, "I have sent a pigeon to the court to report that the Qingshan Army attacked Qianshan Province."

"I heard that the leader of the Qingshan Army is confirmed to be the Princess of Qi. I believe that Your Majesty will ask the Princess of Qi to stop the Qingshan Army."

"Let's wait for more news!"

The scholar standing on the other side was Sun Gui’s military advisor Zheng Ying.

He also said anxiously, "Sir, the Qingshan Army is advancing too fast. Because the distance of the carrier pigeon is long, various accidents may happen during the flight of the pigeon."

"The information may not be delivered on time and effectively. Even if it can be delivered on time and effectively, His Majesty has ordered the Qingshan Army not to act rashly."

"It takes a whole day for a carrier pigeon to fly to the capital, and another night to fly back. The key is that a carrier pigeon can only carry a small note, and the Qingshan Army may not recognize it."

"If we wait for His Majesty's imperial edict to arrive, requiring the Qingshan Army to withdraw, it will take several days to arrive at the expedited speed of 800 miles."

"If we rely on the imperial court to stop the Qingshan Army, we will be doomed!"

The defending general Tian Youguang also echoed, "Military Advisor Zheng is right, sir, our top priority is to hold on and wait for help."

"We must at least wait until the imperial court issues a real and effective decree, only then will we have a glimmer of hope!"

After hearing this, Sun Gui became even more anxious, and sweat slowly began to seep out of his fat face.

"Then what should we do?"

Tian Youguang and Zheng Ying looked at each other, and Zheng Ying said, "Sir, over the years, those untouchables have been dissatisfied with the government's substantial tax increase because they do not understand your difficulties and do not know how to sympathize with your efforts to raise so many troops to protect them."

"So, these untouchables are no longer on the same path as us adults. There is no need for you to pamper them anymore."

"Our granaries have been stolen, and the soldiers guarding the city can't even get enough food. If those untouchables don't give us their extra food to help us through this difficult time, then they are our enemies and don't deserve our protection."

Sun Gui frowned slightly, "You mean to ask the people for food?"

Zheng Ying nodded. "Give them a chance to hand over the extra food. If they don't, it means they are unwilling to share our hardships. When the Qingshan Army arrives at the gates of the city, they will most likely be traitors."

"Those who are unwilling to contribute food to support us in defending the city can all have their homes confiscated!"

Tian Youguang was delighted. "Sir, this move by the military advisor is indeed a good way to stabilize the situation. Brothers must first have enough food, otherwise, we will be in chaos first!"

"Since those untouchables are unwilling to stand with us, why should we be polite? We will simply confiscate the homes of those who are unwilling to give out food, and let the brothers have fun."

Zheng Ying continued, "Sir, we still have a problem of insufficient weapons. We can push all the untouchables whose houses were confiscated to the top of the city walls and use them to block the arrows of the Qingshan Army attacking the city."

"Our goal is to hold the city and wait for the imperial court's order to arrive and have the Qingshan Army withdraw!"

"I believe that the imperial court will not just send an imperial decree. A large army will come along with the imperial decree to intimidate the Qingshan Army."

"As long as we hold out until then, we'll be safe!"

Sun Gui had no opinion of his own and relied on his military advisor Zheng Ying for everything. After hearing what Zheng Ying said, he seemed to be less panicked.

He shouted, "Immediately follow the military advisor's instructions. The remaining city defenders will ask the people for food. Those who are unwilling to provide food to support the defense of the city will be regarded as rioters and their homes will be confiscated. All family members will be tied up and put on the city wall to block arrows!"

"The Qingshan Army is known as a benevolent and righteous army. I want to see whether they will shoot and kill these civilians in order to capture the city, so that the people can see clearly that the Qingshan Army is nothing more than this!"

Tian Youguang received Sun Gui's confirmation and slapped his thigh, "Then Qianshan Province will be saved!"

He was about to go out to issue Sun Gui's order when suddenly a figure appeared at the door and blocked his way.

The person who came was a person with a graceful figure, holding a black cat, and had a beautiful appearance.

When Sun Gui and others saw the newcomer, they were extremely shocked as if they had seen a ghost.

The person who came was Tian Rumo.

She discovered that Jiedushi Sun Gui's guards were not in the house, but were all outside. She thought that if she suddenly appeared and caught them all, the guards outside would not have time to react.

So, Xiaomei jumped down from the beam, and Tian Rumo instantly came out from the space to block Tian Youguang.

Tian Ruomo looked at the three people with interest, "Do you look at me like that? Do you know me?"

Sun Gui came back to his senses.

He did not recognize Tian Rumo, he was simply stunned by her appearance, and then the fat face broke into a smile.

"Oh, of course I know you. Aren't you a gift from God to me?"

"Come, come, let me hug you. I love beautiful fairies the most!"

As he spoke, he wanted to rush towards Tian Rumo.

Such a beautiful girl, of course, should be held in my arms immediately and let her feel the fat man’s voluptuousness!

However, his shoulder was grabbed by Zhao Ying, "Sir, wait a minute!"

Zhao Ying's expression was very unsightly. "She looks like a fairy and has a black cat as a pet. This is consistent with the legendary doctor Princess Qi and the fairy leader of the Qingshan Army."

"Are you Princess Qi?"

Princess Qi?

Sun Gui’s eyes suddenly widened and he quickly took two steps back and hid behind Zhao Ying.
