The night is getting darker and darker, maybe the rainy season is coming, the night sky tonight is full of dark clouds, and there is no starlight.

Although the streets of Baicheng are usually quiet, they seem to be even more silent today. Even the old man who has been sitting in the field and sighing all year round has returned home early today, and the doors and windows of every house are closed.

The defenders who were supposed to rest gathered on the training ground, some with high ambitions and some with trepidation.

"You say... will we really succeed? What if we lose? Will the city lord kill us?"

"What are you talking about! What time is it, and you are still saying such things here!? If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful and I will tell the general!"

"I... I'm just scared in my heart, aren't, aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"Of course I'm afraid of death!"

"I haven't died, I don't know, but I know that it's hard to die from starvation. My sister was starved to death last winter. The family didn't have enough food. My mother gave it to me and my brother. I didn't know it at the time, I My sister hasn’t eaten for several days, otherwise I—” The soldier who spoke, his eyes were red, his throat was choked up, and his voice became hoarse when he spoke again, “If I had known earlier, I would have given I gave it to her, do you know what the last bite she ate before she died? It was snow, the snow that fell on the ground, she was so hungry, she grabbed a snowball and thought it was something delicious in the world, but she ate it, her mouth was full of cold , and then... people are also cold..."

The soldier's words caused the school grounds to fall into a moment of silence and sadness, after all, everyone present did not know what it was like to be hungry.

After a while, someone even responded: "My grandma...was also starved to death. My land failed to grow crops last year. Dad sold all the valuables in the house and went to buy some beans from the city lord. Half of them were moldy. My father went to them to argue and was beaten up. After my grandma found out, she refused to eat anything, saying that she was old and living was a burden. It would be better to save a bite. Her old man is like this, she gave herself alive...starved to death..."

"My mother is also..."

"My family is also..."

The soldier at the beginning wiped away tears and said firmly: "So, I don't want to live like this anymore. The city lord lives in a big house by himself and eats delicacies from mountains and seas. He even wants to exploit us ordinary people. Now I don't even have a decent one in my house." The cooking pots are gone, and all valuable things have been exchanged for food. If this is still the case this year, even my parents will starve to death! If this is the case, it is better for me, as a son, to do it for them. , and fight for myself! Even if I die in battle, I will not regret it for my family!"

"Well said!" Wu Hui suddenly said, which startled everyone. It was dark and the lights were dark. They didn't realize that Wu Hui was standing among them, and what they said just now, Wu Hui also heard it all.

The soldiers hurriedly stood up one by one: "General, general."

Wu replied: "Don't be nervous, I won't punish anyone today, I'm here to tell you some good news."

Soldiers: "What good news?"

Wu Hui laughed and said: "At noon, Lord Wushuang sent someone to bring me a sentence. The Lord said, when we win Xiangkang this time, he will not want any food in the granary of the city lord's mansion, and will distribute it all. For everyone, every family gets food per person, and those who performed well in this battle can get an extra food!"

"What? This, is this true?"

"My lord wants to give us food? Is it true? Is it true?"

Wu Hui: "Of course! Lord Wushuang never breaks his promise!"

"That's great, with the food, my parents and siblings don't have to eat leafy vegetables anymore!"

Wu Hui took the opportunity to say: "So, for the sake of parents, brothers and sisters, we must win tonight!"

"Must win! Must win! Must win!"

"Your Highness," B brought tea to Wushuang, "it's getting late, why don't you go to the cave and take a nap first? Don't worry, C is guarding the front door, and he will call you if something happens."

Wushuang sighed: "In this situation, how can I sleep, where is General Lei? Are you leaving?"

B nodded: "It's gone."

Wushuang looked out the window: "Yes, it's almost time."

Then she stood up: "Forget it, I can't sleep anyway, B, you can go out with me for a walk."

B: "Yes, Your Highness."

Wushuang took Yi out and wanted to go to the front yard to see Uncle Feng and the others, but found that not only Uncle Feng, but also craftsmen and women were there.

"grown ups."

Everyone brushed towards Wushuang's luggage. Wushuang saw that the craftsmen were holding tools in their hands, and the women were also holding thick sticks in their hands. He was slightly taken aback and said, "This is..."

"Of course it's to protect your lord!" Ding Wei said, "We know that tonight is very important to your lord. In order to prevent others from hurting your lord, we are willing to fight to the death to protect your lord!"

"You..." Wushuang's heart became hot, he hadn't even told these people the whole truth, he didn't expect that they might just guess something in their hearts, and they were willing to risk their lives for him.

Wushuang's eyes turned red: "Thank you... Thank you."

Si Niang, who was the most diligent in reading, said: "My lord, you are so kind to us. You not only give us food, but also allow us to take it home for our family to eat. You don't know, my parents ate the bean dregs cake you brought back for us." , wept with excitement, saying that they have never tasted such a delicacy in their life, and they still can’t believe it is actually made of beans.”

Wushuang smiled and said, "It means that you haven't seen tofu, if you saw tofu, your parents probably won't believe it, right?"

Si Niang also laughed: "Your Excellency is right, I guess they will think I'm crazy."

Wushuang laughed, and suddenly had an idea: "That's right! Since everyone is idle, they are also idle... B, how many beans do we have left?"

B: "Not much, but enough for us people to eat for a month is no problem."

"It's really a bit small," Wushuang waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, you can make as much as you can, B, you go and soak all the beans now, and there are other edibles, as well as ready-made bean paste, take them all Come out, and when Wu Hui and Lei Jia win, we will reward them with bean dregs cakes and bean paste!"

Wushuang said to the crowd again: "The women go to help B, and the men guard the gate, waiting for General Lei and the others to return from victory!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

Everyone raised their voices and responded, only feeling that the night was a bit cold just now, but now it became extremely hot, even Uncle Wu whispered in Uncle Feng's ear: "It's strange, I was a little nervous at first, Now it seems that I am not so scared all of a sudden!"

Feng Bo glanced at Wu Shuang, smiled and said: "I told you a long time ago, with adults around, even if the sky falls, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Uncle Wu also looked back at Wushuang, and sighed: "Don't say it, it's true!"

In the workshop, everyone grinds beans in full swing, boils soybean milk, and makes bean dregs cakes. Several large jars of soybean paste are poured into the pot to be boiled or used as seasoning. Usually, only Wushuang can eat corn. Sunflower and scallions are boiled into vegetable porridge, which is still salted, and then mixed with animal oil that Wu Shuang asked B to make from animal fat before. The aroma can make people smell their noses.

In short, all the food hoarded in the workshop, as long as it can be eaten, will be cooked by Wushuang.

Only waiting for the return of the victorious soldiers to eat this delicious delicacy.

Outside the city lord's mansion, Wu Hui had already reconciled with Lei Jia, and he just waited for the time to pass, and when the guards of the city lord's mansion were most sleepy, they would immediately attack!

On the side of the prison bar, You Jiuba was already ready to make a move.

Shajia from the monster clan, Xiaochuan from the spirit clan, and Wang Gui from the human race, the three clans took their most powerful clansmen and followed You Jiubai to the exit of the prison.

Shaka looked at Ya who was nervous beside her, and said in a low voice: "Actually, you should stay with your mother, she can't face the possibility of losing you again."

"I know," Ya bit her lip, "I won't let anything happen to me, and I don't want to leave any regrets."

Shaka glanced at Ya and said nothing more, yes, why is she willing to leave regrets?Even though this battle is likely to kill her, she still wants to break the darkness and humiliation with her own hands, and create their own light and new life!

The tower soldier guarding the prison door seemed to be asleep and didn't notice anyone approaching. You Jiudiao was the first to step forward. No one knew how he did it. He pushed the brass lock on the door like this. It broke into several sections in an instant and fell to the ground.

The door was pushed open, and it was the first time for the aliens to see the world outside the door so clearly. Although it seemed not much different from the prison bar, it was a completely different world in their eyes, because there was freedom !

Everyone seemed to be unable to restrain the urgency in their hearts any longer, their eyes were red, and when they were about to rush out, You Jiuba suddenly called out: "Stop!"

Everyone stopped in an instant, they stood behind You Jiuba, watching You Jiuba eagerly.

You Jiuba squinted and looked ahead, in the darkness shrouded in night, it seemed that a giant beast was waiting for him with its mouth wide open.

But You Jiuba didn't stop because of this. After leaving the word "waiting", he began to walk out of the prison bar step by step.

Xiao Chuan was a little worried: "My lord!"

Dahe stopped him: "Xiaochuan, your lord has said, let us wait."

Xiao Chuan felt that it was too dangerous for You Jiuba to go out alone, he frowned and wanted to follow, but in the end he still didn't do that, after all, they had promised the adults that everything would follow You Jiuba's arrangement tonight.

You Jiuba had already stepped out of the prison at this time, and then said in a low voice: "Still coming out?"

I saw waves of soldiers coming out from behind the high platform built of mud. Holding bows and arrows in their hands, they quickly surrounded You Jiudrill, forming a semicircle, and came out of the place behind You Jiudrill. The prison pen is full of people in front, back, left, and right.
