Geng Yan is an upright and good young man with a lively personality.
As soon as Cai Xuning came into contact with him, he had a good impression of him.Of course, the bigger bonus may have come from the fact that he didn't abandon Liu Xiu and run away, which made Cai Xuning have a natural good impression.
Inside the inn.
Sitting opposite, Geng Yan said with a smile, "I never thought Brother Cai would be with me. I would have invited you over if I knew it earlier, so I wouldn't be lonely!"
Liu Xiu said lightly: "I made an appointment to meet my brother, and I will send his caravan over by the way. It's just a coincidence."
Just now Liu Xiu had introduced each other to the two of them, and Geng Yan was even more happy immediately.
"Brother Cai's brother, that's naturally good." Geng Yan said with a smile, "Although this place is not my territory, but you two have come from a long way, how about I be the host tonight, how about inviting you two to taste fine wine? "
Cai Xuning had nothing to do, seeing that Liu Xiu agreed, he agreed to go with him.
Geng Yan's companion had been waiting downstairs for a long time, and sent people to urge him again and again.Liu Xiu then said: "If you have something to do, go first. You have an appointment tonight, but are you afraid that someone will get away?"
After thinking about it, Geng Yan happily decided on the time and place, and went downstairs.
Cai Xuning said with emotion: "This man really has a lively personality."
With him there, the air seemed to be filled with joy.
"Ah Xu seems to have a crush on Geng Yan?" Liu Xiu laughed.
Cai Xuning said, "Didn't he save you?"
Liu Xiu: "...Oh."
He responded softly, and then said: "Just now, the looks of the spectators on the street suggest that Geng Yan probably lives in the prefect's mansion. It is not clear who is in charge of the prefect's mansion now, but the people in the city are afraid."
Cai Xuning nodded, which can be heard from the little discussion just now.
However, Geng Yan Xiaolang's reputation should be quite good.
After all the calculations, he is a native of Youzhou. At this time, he is involved in Xinbo. Whether he did it inadvertently or if someone behind him pays attention to it are two different things.
Regardless of that, Liu Xiu's initial plan to keep a low profile may have failed.What I just said in front of the inn may soon spread widely in this complicated area.
Liu Xiu didn't care.
Under a pseudonym, he tends to behave more freely than he himself does.
And no matter how much you pay attention, as long as Geng Yan's identity is simple, the scrutiny of them will not be too strict... Or in the current city, there is simply no such energy and manpower to investigate.
"It's good to get in touch with Geng Yan. The situation in Xinbo is complicated, but we can get some accurate information from him." Liu Xiu said calmly, holding an old teacup in his hand, and the movement of drinking tea was as graceful as that It is the best wine.
Classmate Axiu always reveals a little background in the subtleties, which makes people feel that this guy is actually a descendant of the Han Dynasty.
Cough, although I am lonely now.
Cai Xuning looked at Liu Xiu, but couldn't help shaking his head in his heart.
While thinking this way, he couldn't help but recall Liu Xiu when he looked like a pixel villain before, the old man's posture was really vivid.

"A Xu has been staring at me like this, could it be that he just realized that I'm pretty?" Liu Xiu smiled lazily.
Cai Xuning came back to his senses and said seriously.
"It's beautiful, of course it's beautiful."
Social death?
nonexistent!
He looked at what happened to Axiu!If he wanted to, he could touch it!
Tsk tsk, Liu Xiu's flesh and blood looks good, so I can't complain that there are still romantic affairs in history where two women compete for one man.But Cai Xuning would like to criticize classmate Axiu on this point, it's better to stick to the end of this relationship.
But thinking about it, Cai Xuning is also aware that the views of the ancients are different from those of the present, so he doesn't struggle.Lehe packed himself up and went out with Liu Xiu in the evening.
The Xinbo Pavilion at night is very quiet, and there are not many people walking on the street.
They walked to the agreed tavern, there was a faint conversation, but it was still lively.Cai Xuning followed Liu Xiu into the door, subconsciously looked around, they were all guys who looked either rich or expensive.
Cai Xuning raised his eyebrows, this is really...
No matter what time it is, this group of people is living the most nourishing life.
Geng Yan had reserved a private room a long time ago, and someone was waiting there.Xiao Er bowed to meet them, the private room was at the end of the second floor.
Geng Yan came by himself, and when he saw the Cai family brothers coming in, he even stood up to greet them.
Liu Xiu looked calm and nodded calmly.
Compelling to sit down, Geng Yan beckoned to Xiao Er to order food, everyone went down, and after the surrounding area became quieter, this lively young man suddenly showed a sad expression.
"It's too dangerous for the two of you to enter the new Bo Pavilion at this time."
Cai Xuning raised his eyebrows, why did this person change his face?
He said: "Mr. Geng Lang, is there something hidden in this?"
Geng Yan said, "Just call me Bo Zhao."
This is his signature.
"Xinbo is now torn apart. Most of the counties under its rule are occupied by different forces. It's easy to go to those places. But this Xinbo Pavilion has three forces, and there is no stalemate."
Geng Yan poured wine for the two of them.
Liu Xiu heard the words, and said softly: "You can say it here, but you can't say it in the inn?"
Geng Yan smiled lightly and said, "Brother Cai is indeed cautious, that's true. This tavern is considered to be owned by the family. It's easier to talk than outside."
Cai Xuning nodded inwardly, no wonder the waiter from the shop just now seemed overly respectful when he heard who they were dating.
It turned out to be the main house.
"Then let me be more straightforward, Bo Zhao, what is the situation in Xinbo Pavilion now?" Cai Xuning asked.
Geng Yan sighed.
"Officials are self-contained, the military power is outside, and the people are in chaos. These three forces are most obvious in Xinbo Pavilion. Now it is barely maintaining peace on the surface. It is like walking on thin ice. Once it breaks, Xinbo Pavilion may immediately become a battlefield. "
Xinbozhi Xinbo Pavilion, the status of Xinbo Pavilion is indeed somewhat different.
The food was served during the banquet, and the atmosphere was even more harmonious when everyone ate it.
Before Cai Xuning ate, he subconsciously poked the system.
Tong, is it poisonous or not?
The system has been poked too much, and an answer is reluctantly thrown out.
[System: Please!Eat with peace of mind! 】
Just shut up and eat.
Cai Xuning: Yes.
The food in this tavern is pretty good, quite local.
Usually, when communicating with the outside world, it is mostly Cai Xuning who talks.But this time Geng Yan came for Liu Xiu, even though Liu Xiu said very little, Geng Yan still liked to talk to him, so Cai Xuning simply nestled beside him, lazily picking up vegetables to eat.
There was a big table full, and a small half of it was settled by him.
Liu Xiudao: "This dish is a bit salty, eat less."
He said something lightly.
Geng Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard the nonsensical words, and saw Cai Xuning's chopsticks turned a corner, and did not settle on the previous dish, but picked up other dishes.
Only then did Geng Yan understand, and said enviously, "The relationship between the two of you is really good."
Cai Xuning said casually: "Don't you have a few brothers in your family?"
Speaking of this, Geng Yan laughed again.
"That's true, but there are a few of them who are always disobedient like monkeys."
When Cai Xuning saw Liu Xiu leading Geng Yan to talk about his family's situation, he didn't say much and just ate food quietly.
When the banquet was over, he was the only one who had a full stomach.
After saying goodbye to Geng Yan, Cai Xuning applied for a detour to digest the food.
Liu Xiu quickly approved.
The two of them didn't take the road ahead, but took a detour.
"How much do you believe Geng Yan's words?" Liu Xiu said.
Cai Xuning thought for a while: "Seven points is true. He must have something to say, such as why is he in the prefect's mansion? He only vaguely said that the elders in the family knew each other, and if they knew each other, they would live in the prefect's mansion? What does this mean? ...I don’t know if they reached an agreement behind the scenes?”
The situation of Xinbo that Geng Yan said must be true.
But the situation is like this, will the local officials and gentry want to bring in foreign aid to completely quell the chaos with one blow?After all, if this matter is successful, how to divide the benefits slowly afterwards will be a follow-up matter.
The officials and gentry who claim to be orthodox will not be in the company of the reckless men who hold military power in their eyes and the peasant uprising soldiers who do not understand the relationship between interests.
Guessing is always guessing, and the current situation that makes my stomach ache is what is in front of me.
Cai Xuning rubbed his stomach with a bitter face, and said to Liu Xiu: "It's rare that a gluttony will end up like this, and I really don't dare to do it in the future."
"Who said that wine is not a good thing before, and still poured alcohol desperately in the future?" Liu Xiu raised her eyebrows.
Cai Xuning was speechless.
"...Well, it's different. Being drunk and drinking with yourself are two different things."
He muttered, not too loudly.

Cai Xuning:?
climb!
They're all big farts!
Liu Xiu's ears were so damn sharp, she heard Cai Xuning's words to the end, and said with a smile: "I don't have much drink, and if someone toasts, I run out. After the silly meal, it's my turn to be silly."
Cai Xuning curled her lips: "I'll run to your side next time!"
While chatting and taking a walk, it was hard for the stomach to digest, and Cai Xuning was able to go back to the inn.
There was nothing to say all night, when Xu Changping got up the next day, he came back with a few people.
Xu Changping did not stay with them last night.
"Lord."
Xu Changping spoke in a low voice under Cai Xuning's gesture.
"Xinbo City is indeed a triangle. The government occupies two ends, and the remaining two are the rebel army and the rebel army. The city has been under the jurisdiction of three families recently, but the atmosphere has become more and more tense recently. Because of the domineering government of Gein and the chaotic administration of the Peasant Rebel Army, more and more people in these two places are willing to go to the area controlled by the rebel army."
The loss of population within one's own jurisdiction is undoubtedly infuriating, and frictions are increasing.
Liu Xiu tapped the table with her fingers, and said softly, "How many people came out?"
Xu Changping swallowed, and replied in a low voice: "This is not a secret in the city. There are about 1 original rebels around here, and the county soldiers are at least [-]. The rebel army has the largest number of people, about [-]." But they are all outside the city, and there are not many people in the city.”
That's why the atmosphere in the city is so anxious, and the people have no intention of buying and selling to support themselves.
This life may be gone at any time, what are you still thinking about?
If it weren't for the fact that the merchant was treacherous?At this moment, they are the ones who earn the most wealth.
Cai Xuning narrowed his eyes slightly, and said abruptly: "If the situation is really so serious, then the city gates should have been closed long ago. After all, the situation in the city is like this, and it will only make more and more people flee. The dumping of the population has a huge impact on the local people. Naturally, it is disadvantageous, but for the people, escaping from a place that is about to break out in war is a good thing..."
Liu Xiu frowned: "Ah Xu, is the triple charge at the door intentional?"
Cai Xuning nodded.
"Although the tolls are collected by the three companies, it means that they are under the jurisdiction of the three companies. Even if two of them want to be closed, as long as one of them is not willing, then it is out of control. The people in this city can still continue to flee." Cai Xuning said, " As for whether this guess is correct or not, we will find out later.”
Just seeing that Xu Changping can easily get the information on these troops in one night, one can see how much undercurrent there is under the seemingly stable situation in the city.
Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for these news to leak out!

[ID Xiaoshu: Hearing it makes me drowsy]
[ID Phoenix Nirvana: This game looks logical and smooth, I want to play itchy hands]
[ID struggling salted fish: looks so dangerous]
[ID horoscope: If it is true, then among the three parties, at least one party is willing to consider the common people]
Cai Xuning glanced at the barrage's explanation.
In fact, whether it is to let the people leave or let them stay, it can only be said that the focus is different.For the long-term goal, it is natural for the common people to keep it, otherwise why a famine occurs in one place, we have to do everything possible to keep the common people in place.Once a large number of people are lost, it is not easy to revitalize a place... just force the people to stay where they are, and it is the people themselves who suffer.
They lived in Xinbo for a few days.
Liu Xiu went out early and returned late every day, so Cai Xuning learned to do business.
At first glance, he looked like a newcomer who had never been in this business before, and in the eyes of Lao Youtiao, he was like a piece of meat pie that could be easily grasped.If it wasn't for Xu Changping watching from the side, it would be really easy to roll over.
After two or three times, Cai Xuning reluctantly got started, and even learned some code words in their profession.
Most of the goods they brought were food, which was the best seller right now.Although the amount was small, it was quickly turned into money.
Cai Xuning sat at the table and looked at the table full of gold.
He counted the gold in front of him.
Then he counted the amount in the small treasury.
Cai Xuning said sadly: "Can I buy gold with survival points? Now this money is too bad, isn't it?"
The food he brought was not much at all, but he made at least a hundred gold by reselling it.
What is the concept of one hundred gold?
He could buy at least fifty carts of grain a year ago!
[System: A large amount of money that appears out of thin air can easily disrupt the economy. 】
Cai Xuning stared at it out of thin air, what kind of high-level words that disrupt the economy, just say no or no?
The money went through Minglu, so Cai Xuning couldn't stuff it into the small treasury, even though it was more convenient that way.He asked Xu Changping to get a box, and stuffed one hundred gold into it.
The ox cart that transported the grain was also sold by Cai Xuning.
He vaguely felt that these bullock carts might be a drag in the end, so he might as well sell them now.The food was said to be for sale, but in fact Cai Xuning reserved some food for the people accompanying them.
Cai Xuning was eager to buy a horse, but he was afraid of making a mistake, so he didn't do it for now.
A few days later, when Liu Xiu came back, his face was much more serious.
He said: "Today there was a conflict between West Street and East Street, and several people died."
The West Street is the area of the rebels, and the East Street is the people of the government.
Cai Xuning raised his eyebrows: "Which one can't help it?"
Liu Xiu shook her head and said, "Some civilians tried to enter the West Street area, but were beaten to death by county soldiers in front of the rebels. Some of the rebels couldn't bear it and crossed the line."
Cai Xuning frowned: "This is clearly intentional!"
Liu Xiudao: "The Prefect's Mansion can't bear it anymore. If the delay continues, the situation in Xinbo will only get worse. If this matter can be resolved before summer, then after everything is settled, this year's farming can barely catch up. "
Cai Xuning said a little speechlessly: "I don't have so many twists and turns just to bully soldiers."
As an outsider, if he wants to say which one has the best senses, it is naturally the rebels.
Although these days, regardless of which soldiers and horses it is, it is easy to disturb the people, but the attitude of the rebels towards the people is pretty good.Even if there are occasional scolding words, it is much better than the other two places.
Otherwise, there will be no such thing as today's soldiers can't help but give the people a hard time.
It's a pity that this matter is a letter from the prefect's mansion.
You can't learn from the unknown!
Before nightfall, when Liu Xiugang ordered to go down to pack his luggage, Geng Yan rushed to the door.
"If you two are fine, please leave quickly."
The usual smile on Geng Yan's face was gone, only seriousness remained on his small face.
Cai Xuning and Liu Xiu looked at each other, and said hello without asking why.Fortunately, according to their prior instructions, it didn't take much time, and they went downstairs soon.
They gave up the few remaining horses for transportation, because of Geng Yan's eager attitude.
When walking through the streets that he often walks these days, Cai Xuning noticed some mottled and dried blood on the ground.He frowned, his mood sank, but he didn't say much.
On the way, Geng Yan did say something.
"The city is going to be chaotic, if not tonight, tomorrow. The prefect's mansion has decided not to stay. If you continue to stay, it will be too dangerous." Geng Yan said in a low voice.
This young gentleman is really righteous, and it is a time of panic, and he can still think of his previous savior, so he is kind and righteous.
A group of people rushed to the city gate in the twilight that was about to fall, and at that time, there were many more people rushing to the city gate than in the past.
Anyone who is a little sensitive may have noticed something.
Geng Yan looked anxiously at the crowded city gate, the way out was clearly ahead, but with the huge number of people and the slow speed, he didn't know if he could get out before sunset.
After the hour, the door will be closed!
The horseshoe galloped, the approaching sound surpassed the noisy voices, several county soldiers galloped over on horseback, holding a token of unknown material in their hands and shouted loudly: "Close the city gate, close the city gate - the prefect's mansion There is an order, you are not allowed to leave the city!"
Geng Yan's face turned pale.
Cai Xuning pulled him back forcefully, using her body to block his tracks.He whispered: "After all, you are on the same side as them on the surface, don't let people find that you appear here."
Geng Yan's heart moved slightly, and he looked at this person he hadn't paid much attention to.
He admired Cai Wen's bravery, so naturally he talked a lot with him, but rarely communicated with his brother.But Cai Xuning's whispered words just now were clearly intentional.
It is a warning out of kindness, but it also inadvertently points out some things.
Cai Xuning seemed to have guessed the reason why Geng Yan was in the prefect's mansion.
Geng Yan looked at the noisy crowd because of the early closing of the city gate, and resolutely said to Liu Xiu and Cai Xuning: "The two of you should bring someone back with me. I want to bring a few friends to stay with me temporarily. It's not a big deal if I think about it." Difficult."

[ID Durian Xiaoxiaosheng: Good boy, really good boy! ]

[IDandy: The prefect's mansion is too disgusting, right? ]
[The ID is like this: closing the city gate now, no matter how I see it, something is wrong, don’t let something happen]
If it wasn't for being unable to communicate with the barrage right now, Cai Xuning would definitely nod.
If it wasn't for the imminent accident, would Geng Yan bring them into the mansion in such a hurry?
Keeping things simple, when they entered the mansion, even the concierge only did a rough inspection of Geng Yan, and after confirming that it was him, he let them in.
Cai Xuning shook his head, and said softly: "At this point, I have to hold on to my territory even tighter."
Chaos outside, even yourself in chaos, what's the matter?
This check doesn't matter.
Geng Yan smiled wryly and said: "Now the prefect's mansion is presided over by Biejia, who was originally led by Zuo Gonglian. He said Biejia is now in charge, but now there are faint signs of being in charge. But there are still some people who don't accept him, so he is still constrained in his actions."
It is also common to deal with things.Fortunately, Ma Zuoyi's methods are very good, so far nothing has happened.
Biejia is the assistant officer of the prefect, but under the prefect.
The area of the prefect's mansion is also considered large, and Geng Yan himself has a yard.After they entered, Geng Yan was slightly relieved.
Although this little man is always smiling, in fact, he can hold on to things in his heart.Just looking at his current performance in the prefect's mansion, one can know that he is actually not at ease here, but he did not show it at all in the past.
The people under his command dispersed and resettled. Geng Yan took Cai Xuning and Liu Xiu into the room and sat down. He sighed and said, "It seems that you two have already guessed the purpose of my presence. I, Aye and Ma Zuoyi used to be colleagues. After Zuo Gong died, he sent a letter to Shanggu to ask me, Aye, for help, and I, Aye, gave him [-] troops in exchange for Xinbo's food for three years."
It's a weird deal, but it's not bad.
"But you, Aye, are you really sure that Ma Zuoyi will fulfill the agreement?"
Ma Zuoyi is the name of Biejia in the prefect's mansion.
Geng Yan spread his hands: "Actually, there are some reasons. Now Ma Zuoyi has about 8000 people, half of them are well-trained county soldiers, and the rest are just filling in. That's why he urgently needs my Aye's assistance. It is about to arrive, which is why Ma Zuoyi is anxious to act at this time."
"Why don't you wait until the person arrives?" Liu Xiu said.
Geng Yan's face became more bitter: "I guess they didn't want to give Aye a chance to regret, and they couldn't help it. Recently, the reputation of the rebels in Xinbo Pavilion has become better and better. In fact, in our Youzhou territory, recently There is also a need to fight foreign enemies. The food and grass allocated by the imperial court are exploited layer by layer, and it is a joke at the end how much can be handed over to the frontier. Aye did this to save a way out."
If you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse. This has always been the truth.
But now the imperial court is simply unable to provide adequate supplies to the border guards. In order to resist the imminent foreign enemies, the counties of Youzhou can be regarded as painstaking.
"I have heard that Youzhou's Tuqi is famous for a long time. You are in Shanggulian, and you are still so trembling with internal and external troubles. You have already dedicated yourself to the court." Liu Xiu said lightly.
It was the presence of Tuqi from various counties in Youzhou that kept foreigners from crossing the border.
Geng Yan smiled and said: "This time, it is my Aye's attempt, but it may not succeed. I guess there must be no cavalry among the eight thousand soldiers and horses he sent."
When talking about family affairs, Geng Yan's mood eased a little.
They were talking, when suddenly there was a loud commotion outside, as if hundreds of thousands of people were shouting together.
Geng Yan's face changed slightly, and he looked up suddenly.
The people he and Liu Xiu and Cai Xuning brought rushed into the door one after another, saying in unison: "It's messed up outside."
Isn't it a mess?
Such a uniform slogan could not be uttered by non-military soldiers.
"The time has advanced."
Geng Yan frowned.
Liu Xiu's expression was calm, and his expression was the most stable and peaceful in the room: "Ma Zuoyi can plot against the rebels, so the rebels are not fools. Since they are about to be caught, it's better to turn passive into active."
He guessed that the first mover was not a county soldier, but a rebel.
"The rebel army..."
Cai Xuning hesitated.
Liu Xiu shook his head: "Ma Zuoyi is so confident that he wants to take action against the rebels, so naturally he has negotiated a deal with the rebels."
Either stand still, or secretly help.
This series of movements in the city is just a prelude.
"Are the rebels stationed farther outside the city than the county soldiers?" Liu Xiu asked.
Geng Yan was already startled by the conversation between the two, his eyes widened: "Yes, yes. In fact, there are only a few hundred people in the city now, no matter which side it is, nearly a thousand at most. The big head is still in the city. In addition, even if the rebels suppress the county soldiers and the rebel army, they still have to defend Xinboting and wait for the arrival of reinforcements. The speed of the county soldiers must be faster than the rebels..."
Not to mention that there are still [-] reinforcements arriving soon.
It's hard to say who will win and who will lose at that time.
The shouts of beating and killing were getting closer and closer, and the target of the rebels was naturally the prefect's mansion.But before they approached, the county soldiers who got the news hurriedly appeared from all over to resist, dragging the rebels who were not good at street fighting to the streets and alleys.
Geng Yan looked a little worried, but he was still able to hold on. He knelt and sat opposite the two of them, holding the teacup tightly in his hand.
"What does Bo Zhao think of Ma Zuoyi?"
At night, it was such chaos outside again.
Seeing that Geng Yan was a little nervous, Cai Xuning talked to him to distract him.
This is obviously useful.
"As a subordinate of Zuo Gong, Ma Zuoyi actually knew the rebel army well. After all, Zuo Gong raised such a large number of soldiers, he must not be able to get past the eyes of the people below. But the night the rebel army rushed into the prefect's mansion and killed Zuo Gong , Ma Zuoyi is not in the mansion. I think he may have known about this in advance and avoided going out." Geng Yan speculated, "Actually, the relationship between the rebels and Ma Zuoyi was quite harmonious a few years ago. The feeling of being the leader, but for some reason, they suddenly turned their faces in the cold winter, divided their territories, and became wary of each other."
Liu Xiu glanced at his trembling hands and put down the teacup in his hand.
"You really want to go out?"
Geng Yan was taken aback for a moment, couldn't help pursing his lips and said with a smile: "So you didn't hide it?"
Cai Xuning was also stunned, and carefully scrutinized Geng Yan's expression.
Geng Yan was watched several times by Cai Xuning from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top. Even the slightest movement felt strange, so he couldn't help but said, "Is there something wrong with me?"
Cai Xuning said quietly: "That's not true, but I thought you were afraid. I didn't realize it, you kid wants to go to the battlefield."
The restlessness he showed was not fear, but patience.
This little gentleman is not quite the same as He Guang.
Cai Xuning looked out subconsciously, He Guang was a tall man standing outside the door, looking a little nervous and desolate.
Because of his tall stature and the great strength he showed in the school field, many people thought he was a warrior. Even when he went out this time, the people below took him as the leader and let him take charge.
He Guang even curled up his toes.
It was still Cai Xuning who couldn't see it, and asked Xu Changping to teach him a lesson or two in private.
After He Guang's temperament has been tempered, he will naturally become more generous.
In the room, after listening to Cai Xuning's words, Geng Yan blushed in embarrassment.
"On weekdays, there are more wars on paper, and I only went to war with Aye a few times. It's really itchy."
Liu Xiudao: "It's just that you don't like Ma Zuoyi, so you usually hide your clumsiness in the prefect's mansion. Otherwise, according to today's severe situation, it is impossible for him to let go of a young general who is capable of fighting."
Geng Yan rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "I always feel like my mind has been guessed."
Geng Yan really didn't like Ma Zuoyi very much, nor did he like his style.The reason why the county soldiers in the city were able to show off their power was because he was not restrained. When he thought of helping Ma Zuoyi with his work, he felt uncomfortable at all.
Simply be an idler, so as to lower Ma Zuoyi's vigilance.
Geng Yan has indeed done a very successful job. After coming to Xinbo for so long, he just eats, drinks and has fun, which makes Ma Zuoyi lower his guard against him and doesn't care about him so much.Otherwise, Geng Yan would not have been able to run out and bring a dozen people back on the eve of the upcoming incident.
If you're being watched closely, you can't do anything.
They stayed up all night.
There was also a night of noise outside.
Until the early hours of the morning, hundreds of corpses were thrown all over the street, and the rebels and county soldiers each retreated to their strongholds.
Because the rebels mobilized ahead of time, the county soldiers didn't take advantage of it. They just used their advantage in street fighting to forcefully drag the rebels so that they couldn't make a breakthrough.
When Geng Yan received the news, Cai Xuning couldn't help but yawned.
Next to my ear was Liu Xiu's cold voice.
"The attitude of the rebel army is the key now."
The two corners of the triangle were fiercely fought, and the side watching from the sidelines became the center of gravity instead.
Geng Yan couldn't help yawning, and blocked the indelicate gesture with his sleeve, he said sullenly: "Why don't you two go to rest first? I don't think there will be any more fights for the time being."
Geng Yan's words hit the nail on the head.
For three consecutive days, at night, the sound of shouting, beating and killing rang out.
And in the daytime, when the people opened their doors, it was as if nothing had happened except for the bloodstains and sporadic limbs all over the floor.
Cai Xuning came down for three consecutive days, and his spirit was very poor.
He slowly got up and dressed.
Slowly brush your teeth.
Slowly go to wash your face.

Cai Xuning yawned slowly.
The whole person lay on the table.
They live in Geng Yan's courtyard, so naturally they live in a room.
When classmate A Xiu was away, Cai Xuning was always free and willful.
Of course, in front of Liu Xiu, he still remembered to protect his image.After all, he was the one who raised him... Ahem, anyway, he wanted to maintain his dignity as a father!
Abba Cai Xuning turned himself around again.
Lie on your stomach with your left cheek.
"It's too passive now."
Cai Xuning murmured a word.
The rebel army really couldn't bear to stand on the sidelines and never got involved.But the rebels and the county soldiers were extremely jealous. Even in the daytime, the whole city seemed to be dead, and the freshness of the day when it first arrived was almost gone.

[ID Loved before, no more: Who do you want to initiate with?It's not Axiu! ]
Cai Xuning rolled his eyes.
With a roll of his eyes, he quickly got up, opened the door and walked out.
"Awen!"
Cai Xuning shouted happily: "I thought of a happy idea!"

[ID Super God:? ?Happy, how happy? ]

Cai Xuning:? ?
Grass!
Why are you thinking so dirty!
As soon as Cai Xuning came into contact with him, he had a good impression of him.Of course, the bigger bonus may have come from the fact that he didn't abandon Liu Xiu and run away, which made Cai Xuning have a natural good impression.
Inside the inn.
Sitting opposite, Geng Yan said with a smile, "I never thought Brother Cai would be with me. I would have invited you over if I knew it earlier, so I wouldn't be lonely!"
Liu Xiu said lightly: "I made an appointment to meet my brother, and I will send his caravan over by the way. It's just a coincidence."
Just now Liu Xiu had introduced each other to the two of them, and Geng Yan was even more happy immediately.
"Brother Cai's brother, that's naturally good." Geng Yan said with a smile, "Although this place is not my territory, but you two have come from a long way, how about I be the host tonight, how about inviting you two to taste fine wine? "
Cai Xuning had nothing to do, seeing that Liu Xiu agreed, he agreed to go with him.
Geng Yan's companion had been waiting downstairs for a long time, and sent people to urge him again and again.Liu Xiu then said: "If you have something to do, go first. You have an appointment tonight, but are you afraid that someone will get away?"
After thinking about it, Geng Yan happily decided on the time and place, and went downstairs.
Cai Xuning said with emotion: "This man really has a lively personality."
With him there, the air seemed to be filled with joy.
"Ah Xu seems to have a crush on Geng Yan?" Liu Xiu laughed.
Cai Xuning said, "Didn't he save you?"
Liu Xiu: "...Oh."
He responded softly, and then said: "Just now, the looks of the spectators on the street suggest that Geng Yan probably lives in the prefect's mansion. It is not clear who is in charge of the prefect's mansion now, but the people in the city are afraid."
Cai Xuning nodded, which can be heard from the little discussion just now.
However, Geng Yan Xiaolang's reputation should be quite good.
After all the calculations, he is a native of Youzhou. At this time, he is involved in Xinbo. Whether he did it inadvertently or if someone behind him pays attention to it are two different things.
Regardless of that, Liu Xiu's initial plan to keep a low profile may have failed.What I just said in front of the inn may soon spread widely in this complicated area.
Liu Xiu didn't care.
Under a pseudonym, he tends to behave more freely than he himself does.
And no matter how much you pay attention, as long as Geng Yan's identity is simple, the scrutiny of them will not be too strict... Or in the current city, there is simply no such energy and manpower to investigate.
"It's good to get in touch with Geng Yan. The situation in Xinbo is complicated, but we can get some accurate information from him." Liu Xiu said calmly, holding an old teacup in his hand, and the movement of drinking tea was as graceful as that It is the best wine.
Classmate Axiu always reveals a little background in the subtleties, which makes people feel that this guy is actually a descendant of the Han Dynasty.
Cough, although I am lonely now.
Cai Xuning looked at Liu Xiu, but couldn't help shaking his head in his heart.
While thinking this way, he couldn't help but recall Liu Xiu when he looked like a pixel villain before, the old man's posture was really vivid.

[ID Hua's wedding dress: SOS is next to the death scene]
"A Xu has been staring at me like this, could it be that he just realized that I'm pretty?" Liu Xiu smiled lazily.
Cai Xuning came back to his senses and said seriously.
"It's beautiful, of course it's beautiful."
Social death?
nonexistent!
He looked at what happened to Axiu!If he wanted to, he could touch it!
Tsk tsk, Liu Xiu's flesh and blood looks good, so I can't complain that there are still romantic affairs in history where two women compete for one man.But Cai Xuning would like to criticize classmate Axiu on this point, it's better to stick to the end of this relationship.
But thinking about it, Cai Xuning is also aware that the views of the ancients are different from those of the present, so he doesn't struggle.Lehe packed himself up and went out with Liu Xiu in the evening.
The Xinbo Pavilion at night is very quiet, and there are not many people walking on the street.
They walked to the agreed tavern, there was a faint conversation, but it was still lively.Cai Xuning followed Liu Xiu into the door, subconsciously looked around, they were all guys who looked either rich or expensive.
Cai Xuning raised his eyebrows, this is really...
No matter what time it is, this group of people is living the most nourishing life.
Geng Yan had reserved a private room a long time ago, and someone was waiting there.Xiao Er bowed to meet them, the private room was at the end of the second floor.
Geng Yan came by himself, and when he saw the Cai family brothers coming in, he even stood up to greet them.
Liu Xiu looked calm and nodded calmly.
Compelling to sit down, Geng Yan beckoned to Xiao Er to order food, everyone went down, and after the surrounding area became quieter, this lively young man suddenly showed a sad expression.
"It's too dangerous for the two of you to enter the new Bo Pavilion at this time."
Cai Xuning raised his eyebrows, why did this person change his face?
He said: "Mr. Geng Lang, is there something hidden in this?"
Geng Yan said, "Just call me Bo Zhao."
This is his signature.
"Xinbo is now torn apart. Most of the counties under its rule are occupied by different forces. It's easy to go to those places. But this Xinbo Pavilion has three forces, and there is no stalemate."
Geng Yan poured wine for the two of them.
Liu Xiu heard the words, and said softly: "You can say it here, but you can't say it in the inn?"
Geng Yan smiled lightly and said, "Brother Cai is indeed cautious, that's true. This tavern is considered to be owned by the family. It's easier to talk than outside."
Cai Xuning nodded inwardly, no wonder the waiter from the shop just now seemed overly respectful when he heard who they were dating.
It turned out to be the main house.
"Then let me be more straightforward, Bo Zhao, what is the situation in Xinbo Pavilion now?" Cai Xuning asked.
Geng Yan sighed.
"Officials are self-contained, the military power is outside, and the people are in chaos. These three forces are most obvious in Xinbo Pavilion. Now it is barely maintaining peace on the surface. It is like walking on thin ice. Once it breaks, Xinbo Pavilion may immediately become a battlefield. "
Xinbozhi Xinbo Pavilion, the status of Xinbo Pavilion is indeed somewhat different.
The food was served during the banquet, and the atmosphere was even more harmonious when everyone ate it.
Before Cai Xuning ate, he subconsciously poked the system.
Tong, is it poisonous or not?
The system has been poked too much, and an answer is reluctantly thrown out.
[System: Please!Eat with peace of mind! 】
Just shut up and eat.
Cai Xuning: Yes.
The food in this tavern is pretty good, quite local.
Usually, when communicating with the outside world, it is mostly Cai Xuning who talks.But this time Geng Yan came for Liu Xiu, even though Liu Xiu said very little, Geng Yan still liked to talk to him, so Cai Xuning simply nestled beside him, lazily picking up vegetables to eat.
There was a big table full, and a small half of it was settled by him.
Liu Xiudao: "This dish is a bit salty, eat less."
He said something lightly.
Geng Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard the nonsensical words, and saw Cai Xuning's chopsticks turned a corner, and did not settle on the previous dish, but picked up other dishes.
Only then did Geng Yan understand, and said enviously, "The relationship between the two of you is really good."
Cai Xuning said casually: "Don't you have a few brothers in your family?"
Speaking of this, Geng Yan laughed again.
"That's true, but there are a few of them who are always disobedient like monkeys."
When Cai Xuning saw Liu Xiu leading Geng Yan to talk about his family's situation, he didn't say much and just ate food quietly.
When the banquet was over, he was the only one who had a full stomach.
After saying goodbye to Geng Yan, Cai Xuning applied for a detour to digest the food.
Liu Xiu quickly approved.
The two of them didn't take the road ahead, but took a detour.
"How much do you believe Geng Yan's words?" Liu Xiu said.
Cai Xuning thought for a while: "Seven points is true. He must have something to say, such as why is he in the prefect's mansion? He only vaguely said that the elders in the family knew each other, and if they knew each other, they would live in the prefect's mansion? What does this mean? ...I don’t know if they reached an agreement behind the scenes?”
The situation of Xinbo that Geng Yan said must be true.
But the situation is like this, will the local officials and gentry want to bring in foreign aid to completely quell the chaos with one blow?After all, if this matter is successful, how to divide the benefits slowly afterwards will be a follow-up matter.
The officials and gentry who claim to be orthodox will not be in the company of the reckless men who hold military power in their eyes and the peasant uprising soldiers who do not understand the relationship between interests.
Guessing is always guessing, and the current situation that makes my stomach ache is what is in front of me.
Cai Xuning rubbed his stomach with a bitter face, and said to Liu Xiu: "It's rare that a gluttony will end up like this, and I really don't dare to do it in the future."
"Who said that wine is not a good thing before, and still poured alcohol desperately in the future?" Liu Xiu raised her eyebrows.
Cai Xuning was speechless.
"...Well, it's different. Being drunk and drinking with yourself are two different things."
He muttered, not too loudly.

Cai Xuning:?

They're all big farts!
Liu Xiu's ears were so damn sharp, she heard Cai Xuning's words to the end, and said with a smile: "I don't have much drink, and if someone toasts, I run out. After the silly meal, it's my turn to be silly."
Cai Xuning curled her lips: "I'll run to your side next time!"
While chatting and taking a walk, it was hard for the stomach to digest, and Cai Xuning was able to go back to the inn.
There was nothing to say all night, when Xu Changping got up the next day, he came back with a few people.
Xu Changping did not stay with them last night.
"Lord."
Xu Changping spoke in a low voice under Cai Xuning's gesture.
"Xinbo City is indeed a triangle. The government occupies two ends, and the remaining two are the rebel army and the rebel army. The city has been under the jurisdiction of three families recently, but the atmosphere has become more and more tense recently. Because of the domineering government of Gein and the chaotic administration of the Peasant Rebel Army, more and more people in these two places are willing to go to the area controlled by the rebel army."
The loss of population within one's own jurisdiction is undoubtedly infuriating, and frictions are increasing.
Liu Xiu tapped the table with her fingers, and said softly, "How many people came out?"
Xu Changping swallowed, and replied in a low voice: "This is not a secret in the city. There are about 1 original rebels around here, and the county soldiers are at least [-]. The rebel army has the largest number of people, about [-]." But they are all outside the city, and there are not many people in the city.”
That's why the atmosphere in the city is so anxious, and the people have no intention of buying and selling to support themselves.
This life may be gone at any time, what are you still thinking about?
If it weren't for the fact that the merchant was treacherous?At this moment, they are the ones who earn the most wealth.
Cai Xuning narrowed his eyes slightly, and said abruptly: "If the situation is really so serious, then the city gates should have been closed long ago. After all, the situation in the city is like this, and it will only make more and more people flee. The dumping of the population has a huge impact on the local people. Naturally, it is disadvantageous, but for the people, escaping from a place that is about to break out in war is a good thing..."
Liu Xiu frowned: "Ah Xu, is the triple charge at the door intentional?"
Cai Xuning nodded.
"Although the tolls are collected by the three companies, it means that they are under the jurisdiction of the three companies. Even if two of them want to be closed, as long as one of them is not willing, then it is out of control. The people in this city can still continue to flee." Cai Xuning said, " As for whether this guess is correct or not, we will find out later.”
Just seeing that Xu Changping can easily get the information on these troops in one night, one can see how much undercurrent there is under the seemingly stable situation in the city.
Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for these news to leak out!

[ID Xiaoshu: Hearing it makes me drowsy]
[ID Phoenix Nirvana: This game looks logical and smooth, I want to play itchy hands]
[ID struggling salted fish: looks so dangerous]
[ID horoscope: If it is true, then among the three parties, at least one party is willing to consider the common people]
Cai Xuning glanced at the barrage's explanation.
In fact, whether it is to let the people leave or let them stay, it can only be said that the focus is different.For the long-term goal, it is natural for the common people to keep it, otherwise why a famine occurs in one place, we have to do everything possible to keep the common people in place.Once a large number of people are lost, it is not easy to revitalize a place... just force the people to stay where they are, and it is the people themselves who suffer.
They lived in Xinbo for a few days.
Liu Xiu went out early and returned late every day, so Cai Xuning learned to do business.
At first glance, he looked like a newcomer who had never been in this business before, and in the eyes of Lao Youtiao, he was like a piece of meat pie that could be easily grasped.If it wasn't for Xu Changping watching from the side, it would be really easy to roll over.
After two or three times, Cai Xuning reluctantly got started, and even learned some code words in their profession.
Most of the goods they brought were food, which was the best seller right now.Although the amount was small, it was quickly turned into money.
Cai Xuning sat at the table and looked at the table full of gold.
He counted the gold in front of him.
Then he counted the amount in the small treasury.
Cai Xuning said sadly: "Can I buy gold with survival points? Now this money is too bad, isn't it?"
The food he brought was not much at all, but he made at least a hundred gold by reselling it.
What is the concept of one hundred gold?
He could buy at least fifty carts of grain a year ago!
[System: A large amount of money that appears out of thin air can easily disrupt the economy. 】
Cai Xuning stared at it out of thin air, what kind of high-level words that disrupt the economy, just say no or no?
The money went through Minglu, so Cai Xuning couldn't stuff it into the small treasury, even though it was more convenient that way.He asked Xu Changping to get a box, and stuffed one hundred gold into it.
The ox cart that transported the grain was also sold by Cai Xuning.
He vaguely felt that these bullock carts might be a drag in the end, so he might as well sell them now.The food was said to be for sale, but in fact Cai Xuning reserved some food for the people accompanying them.
Cai Xuning was eager to buy a horse, but he was afraid of making a mistake, so he didn't do it for now.
A few days later, when Liu Xiu came back, his face was much more serious.
He said: "Today there was a conflict between West Street and East Street, and several people died."
The West Street is the area of the rebels, and the East Street is the people of the government.
Cai Xuning raised his eyebrows: "Which one can't help it?"
Liu Xiu shook her head and said, "Some civilians tried to enter the West Street area, but were beaten to death by county soldiers in front of the rebels. Some of the rebels couldn't bear it and crossed the line."
Cai Xuning frowned: "This is clearly intentional!"
Liu Xiudao: "The Prefect's Mansion can't bear it anymore. If the delay continues, the situation in Xinbo will only get worse. If this matter can be resolved before summer, then after everything is settled, this year's farming can barely catch up. "
Cai Xuning said a little speechlessly: "I don't have so many twists and turns just to bully soldiers."
As an outsider, if he wants to say which one has the best senses, it is naturally the rebels.
Although these days, regardless of which soldiers and horses it is, it is easy to disturb the people, but the attitude of the rebels towards the people is pretty good.Even if there are occasional scolding words, it is much better than the other two places.
Otherwise, there will be no such thing as today's soldiers can't help but give the people a hard time.
It's a pity that this matter is a letter from the prefect's mansion.
You can't learn from the unknown!
Before nightfall, when Liu Xiugang ordered to go down to pack his luggage, Geng Yan rushed to the door.
"If you two are fine, please leave quickly."
The usual smile on Geng Yan's face was gone, only seriousness remained on his small face.
Cai Xuning and Liu Xiu looked at each other, and said hello without asking why.Fortunately, according to their prior instructions, it didn't take much time, and they went downstairs soon.
They gave up the few remaining horses for transportation, because of Geng Yan's eager attitude.
When walking through the streets that he often walks these days, Cai Xuning noticed some mottled and dried blood on the ground.He frowned, his mood sank, but he didn't say much.
On the way, Geng Yan did say something.
"The city is going to be chaotic, if not tonight, tomorrow. The prefect's mansion has decided not to stay. If you continue to stay, it will be too dangerous." Geng Yan said in a low voice.
This young gentleman is really righteous, and it is a time of panic, and he can still think of his previous savior, so he is kind and righteous.
A group of people rushed to the city gate in the twilight that was about to fall, and at that time, there were many more people rushing to the city gate than in the past.
Anyone who is a little sensitive may have noticed something.
Geng Yan looked anxiously at the crowded city gate, the way out was clearly ahead, but with the huge number of people and the slow speed, he didn't know if he could get out before sunset.
After the hour, the door will be closed!
The horseshoe galloped, the approaching sound surpassed the noisy voices, several county soldiers galloped over on horseback, holding a token of unknown material in their hands and shouted loudly: "Close the city gate, close the city gate - the prefect's mansion There is an order, you are not allowed to leave the city!"
Geng Yan's face turned pale.
Cai Xuning pulled him back forcefully, using her body to block his tracks.He whispered: "After all, you are on the same side as them on the surface, don't let people find that you appear here."
Geng Yan's heart moved slightly, and he looked at this person he hadn't paid much attention to.
He admired Cai Wen's bravery, so naturally he talked a lot with him, but rarely communicated with his brother.But Cai Xuning's whispered words just now were clearly intentional.
It is a warning out of kindness, but it also inadvertently points out some things.
Cai Xuning seemed to have guessed the reason why Geng Yan was in the prefect's mansion.
Geng Yan looked at the noisy crowd because of the early closing of the city gate, and resolutely said to Liu Xiu and Cai Xuning: "The two of you should bring someone back with me. I want to bring a few friends to stay with me temporarily. It's not a big deal if I think about it." Difficult."

[ID Durian Xiaoxiaosheng: Good boy, really good boy! ]

[IDandy: The prefect's mansion is too disgusting, right? ]
[The ID is like this: closing the city gate now, no matter how I see it, something is wrong, don’t let something happen]
If it wasn't for being unable to communicate with the barrage right now, Cai Xuning would definitely nod.
If it wasn't for the imminent accident, would Geng Yan bring them into the mansion in such a hurry?
Keeping things simple, when they entered the mansion, even the concierge only did a rough inspection of Geng Yan, and after confirming that it was him, he let them in.
Cai Xuning shook his head, and said softly: "At this point, I have to hold on to my territory even tighter."
Chaos outside, even yourself in chaos, what's the matter?
This check doesn't matter.
Geng Yan smiled wryly and said: "Now the prefect's mansion is presided over by Biejia, who was originally led by Zuo Gonglian. He said Biejia is now in charge, but now there are faint signs of being in charge. But there are still some people who don't accept him, so he is still constrained in his actions."
It is also common to deal with things.Fortunately, Ma Zuoyi's methods are very good, so far nothing has happened.
Biejia is the assistant officer of the prefect, but under the prefect.
The area of the prefect's mansion is also considered large, and Geng Yan himself has a yard.After they entered, Geng Yan was slightly relieved.
Although this little man is always smiling, in fact, he can hold on to things in his heart.Just looking at his current performance in the prefect's mansion, one can know that he is actually not at ease here, but he did not show it at all in the past.
The people under his command dispersed and resettled. Geng Yan took Cai Xuning and Liu Xiu into the room and sat down. He sighed and said, "It seems that you two have already guessed the purpose of my presence. I, Aye and Ma Zuoyi used to be colleagues. After Zuo Gong died, he sent a letter to Shanggu to ask me, Aye, for help, and I, Aye, gave him [-] troops in exchange for Xinbo's food for three years."
It's a weird deal, but it's not bad.
"But you, Aye, are you really sure that Ma Zuoyi will fulfill the agreement?"
Ma Zuoyi is the name of Biejia in the prefect's mansion.
Geng Yan spread his hands: "Actually, there are some reasons. Now Ma Zuoyi has about 8000 people, half of them are well-trained county soldiers, and the rest are just filling in. That's why he urgently needs my Aye's assistance. It is about to arrive, which is why Ma Zuoyi is anxious to act at this time."
"Why don't you wait until the person arrives?" Liu Xiu said.
Geng Yan's face became more bitter: "I guess they didn't want to give Aye a chance to regret, and they couldn't help it. Recently, the reputation of the rebels in Xinbo Pavilion has become better and better. In fact, in our Youzhou territory, recently There is also a need to fight foreign enemies. The food and grass allocated by the imperial court are exploited layer by layer, and it is a joke at the end how much can be handed over to the frontier. Aye did this to save a way out."
If you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse. This has always been the truth.
But now the imperial court is simply unable to provide adequate supplies to the border guards. In order to resist the imminent foreign enemies, the counties of Youzhou can be regarded as painstaking.
"I have heard that Youzhou's Tuqi is famous for a long time. You are in Shanggulian, and you are still so trembling with internal and external troubles. You have already dedicated yourself to the court." Liu Xiu said lightly.
It was the presence of Tuqi from various counties in Youzhou that kept foreigners from crossing the border.
Geng Yan smiled and said: "This time, it is my Aye's attempt, but it may not succeed. I guess there must be no cavalry among the eight thousand soldiers and horses he sent."
When talking about family affairs, Geng Yan's mood eased a little.
They were talking, when suddenly there was a loud commotion outside, as if hundreds of thousands of people were shouting together.
Geng Yan's face changed slightly, and he looked up suddenly.
The people he and Liu Xiu and Cai Xuning brought rushed into the door one after another, saying in unison: "It's messed up outside."
Isn't it a mess?
Such a uniform slogan could not be uttered by non-military soldiers.
"The time has advanced."
Geng Yan frowned.
Liu Xiu's expression was calm, and his expression was the most stable and peaceful in the room: "Ma Zuoyi can plot against the rebels, so the rebels are not fools. Since they are about to be caught, it's better to turn passive into active."
He guessed that the first mover was not a county soldier, but a rebel.
"The rebel army..."
Cai Xuning hesitated.
Liu Xiu shook his head: "Ma Zuoyi is so confident that he wants to take action against the rebels, so naturally he has negotiated a deal with the rebels."
Either stand still, or secretly help.
This series of movements in the city is just a prelude.
"Are the rebels stationed farther outside the city than the county soldiers?" Liu Xiu asked.
Geng Yan was already startled by the conversation between the two, his eyes widened: "Yes, yes. In fact, there are only a few hundred people in the city now, no matter which side it is, nearly a thousand at most. The big head is still in the city. In addition, even if the rebels suppress the county soldiers and the rebel army, they still have to defend Xinboting and wait for the arrival of reinforcements. The speed of the county soldiers must be faster than the rebels..."
Not to mention that there are still [-] reinforcements arriving soon.
It's hard to say who will win and who will lose at that time.
The shouts of beating and killing were getting closer and closer, and the target of the rebels was naturally the prefect's mansion.But before they approached, the county soldiers who got the news hurriedly appeared from all over to resist, dragging the rebels who were not good at street fighting to the streets and alleys.
Geng Yan looked a little worried, but he was still able to hold on. He knelt and sat opposite the two of them, holding the teacup tightly in his hand.
"What does Bo Zhao think of Ma Zuoyi?"
At night, it was such chaos outside again.
Seeing that Geng Yan was a little nervous, Cai Xuning talked to him to distract him.
This is obviously useful.
"As a subordinate of Zuo Gong, Ma Zuoyi actually knew the rebel army well. After all, Zuo Gong raised such a large number of soldiers, he must not be able to get past the eyes of the people below. But the night the rebel army rushed into the prefect's mansion and killed Zuo Gong , Ma Zuoyi is not in the mansion. I think he may have known about this in advance and avoided going out." Geng Yan speculated, "Actually, the relationship between the rebels and Ma Zuoyi was quite harmonious a few years ago. The feeling of being the leader, but for some reason, they suddenly turned their faces in the cold winter, divided their territories, and became wary of each other."
Liu Xiu glanced at his trembling hands and put down the teacup in his hand.
"You really want to go out?"
Geng Yan was taken aback for a moment, couldn't help pursing his lips and said with a smile: "So you didn't hide it?"
Cai Xuning was also stunned, and carefully scrutinized Geng Yan's expression.
Geng Yan was watched several times by Cai Xuning from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top. Even the slightest movement felt strange, so he couldn't help but said, "Is there something wrong with me?"
Cai Xuning said quietly: "That's not true, but I thought you were afraid. I didn't realize it, you kid wants to go to the battlefield."
The restlessness he showed was not fear, but patience.
This little gentleman is not quite the same as He Guang.
Cai Xuning looked out subconsciously, He Guang was a tall man standing outside the door, looking a little nervous and desolate.
Because of his tall stature and the great strength he showed in the school field, many people thought he was a warrior. Even when he went out this time, the people below took him as the leader and let him take charge.
He Guang even curled up his toes.
It was still Cai Xuning who couldn't see it, and asked Xu Changping to teach him a lesson or two in private.
After He Guang's temperament has been tempered, he will naturally become more generous.
In the room, after listening to Cai Xuning's words, Geng Yan blushed in embarrassment.
"On weekdays, there are more wars on paper, and I only went to war with Aye a few times. It's really itchy."
Liu Xiudao: "It's just that you don't like Ma Zuoyi, so you usually hide your clumsiness in the prefect's mansion. Otherwise, according to today's severe situation, it is impossible for him to let go of a young general who is capable of fighting."
Geng Yan rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "I always feel like my mind has been guessed."
Geng Yan really didn't like Ma Zuoyi very much, nor did he like his style.The reason why the county soldiers in the city were able to show off their power was because he was not restrained. When he thought of helping Ma Zuoyi with his work, he felt uncomfortable at all.
Simply be an idler, so as to lower Ma Zuoyi's vigilance.
Geng Yan has indeed done a very successful job. After coming to Xinbo for so long, he just eats, drinks and has fun, which makes Ma Zuoyi lower his guard against him and doesn't care about him so much.Otherwise, Geng Yan would not have been able to run out and bring a dozen people back on the eve of the upcoming incident.
If you're being watched closely, you can't do anything.
They stayed up all night.
There was also a night of noise outside.
Until the early hours of the morning, hundreds of corpses were thrown all over the street, and the rebels and county soldiers each retreated to their strongholds.
Because the rebels mobilized ahead of time, the county soldiers didn't take advantage of it. They just used their advantage in street fighting to forcefully drag the rebels so that they couldn't make a breakthrough.
When Geng Yan received the news, Cai Xuning couldn't help but yawned.
Next to my ear was Liu Xiu's cold voice.
"The attitude of the rebel army is the key now."
The two corners of the triangle were fiercely fought, and the side watching from the sidelines became the center of gravity instead.
Geng Yan couldn't help yawning, and blocked the indelicate gesture with his sleeve, he said sullenly: "Why don't you two go to rest first? I don't think there will be any more fights for the time being."
Geng Yan's words hit the nail on the head.
For three consecutive days, at night, the sound of shouting, beating and killing rang out.
And in the daytime, when the people opened their doors, it was as if nothing had happened except for the bloodstains and sporadic limbs all over the floor.
Cai Xuning came down for three consecutive days, and his spirit was very poor.
He slowly got up and dressed.
Slowly brush your teeth.
Slowly go to wash your face.

[ID Mo: Is it a sloth? ]
[IDI_AM_DotDotDot: Reminds me of Lightning from Zootopia]
[ID Zhou Shitianxia: Damn, this action is so slow that I want to watch it at double speed]
[ID Wandering Monkey: It’s gone, the wicker is gone, hey, you don’t even pick it up...]
Cai Xuning lowered his head slowly, picked up the things slowly, and put them back slowly.
Then sit down.
"I~feel~get~ again~this~like~down~go~I~go~die~"
Almost every word of Cai Xuning has a mournful and trembling ending.
【Studio】
[IDA Cloud Piercing Arrow: You can't get enough sleep, so you're coming to poison us...]
[ID Xianyu wants to stand up: Goosebumps are coming out of my whole body when I hear it]
[ID Gauta: Why don't you just plug your ears with some cotton or cloth and sleep tonight]
[ID is helpless: You can't plug your ears, if something happens, you will just burp]
[ID Ma Liuer: Yes, not everyone is Xu Yaya]
[ID writes from morning to night: But the slow motion of the host is really dying, I wish the live broadcast didn't fast forward]
Cai Xuning yawned slowly.
The whole person lay on the table.
They live in Geng Yan's courtyard, so naturally they live in a room.
When classmate A Xiu was away, Cai Xuning was always free and willful.
Of course, in front of Liu Xiu, he still remembered to protect his image.After all, he was the one who raised him... Ahem, anyway, he wanted to maintain his dignity as a father!
Abba Cai Xuning turned himself around again.
Lie on your stomach with your left cheek.
"It's too passive now."
Cai Xuning murmured a word.
The rebel army really couldn't bear to stand on the sidelines and never got involved.But the rebels and the county soldiers were extremely jealous. Even in the daytime, the whole city seemed to be dead, and the freshness of the day when it first arrived was almost gone.

[ID Changan Zizaifeng: The anchor wants to get involved? ]
[ID snail girl:?How do you get involved in this kind of thing? ]
[ID Fu Dai: Uh, I am not destroying this family, I am here to join the blending of this family? ]
[ID Loved before, no more: Who do you want to initiate with?It's not Axiu! ]
Cai Xuning rolled his eyes.
With a roll of his eyes, he quickly got up, opened the door and walked out.
"Awen!"
Cai Xuning shouted happily: "I thought of a happy idea!"
【Studio】
[ID Salted Fish: ?You plagiarized the words of Qiting Restaurant]
[ID A Butterfly: Who?Xiao Xuzi, who do you want to be happy with? ]
[ID Super God:? ?Happy, how happy? ]
[ID up and down: Can you not turn on the light when you are happy? ]
Cai Xuning:? ?
Grass!
Why are you thinking so dirty!
