I open an inn in the realm of comprehension

Xiao Minglou and Qi Chang returned to the city from the lookout post.

The night was dark, but the city was brightly lit, especially near the city wall. The soldiers and the young men in the city were divided into several shifts to reinforce the city wall day and night. A lot of people have been transferred to the bridge.

After all, if the east of the city is lost, it will be useless if the bridge in the west of the city is repaired.

The previous wave of chaos has passed, I don't know if the people were appeased by the officials in the city, or because the soldiers did not abandon them, but chose to stay in Canghe County, this time the people saw Xiao Minglou coming on horseback, and He no longer showed the hostile and hostile expression before.

Someone who recognized him boldly stepped forward and asked: "General Xiao, the outside world has said that you are invincible, you must have a way, right?"

Hearing this, Xiao Minglou reined in his horse and stopped, showing a smile to the people: "Of course, it's not that Xiao is pushing you, but that even God is on our side this time."

The silver armored battle robe was shining brightly in the firelight, Xiao Minglou was not wearing a helmet, his long hair was casually tied into a bun behind his head, and a few strands of hair hung down the side of his face, blowing elegant arcs with the wind.

It has both the free and easy of a literati and the arrogance of a warrior.

Coupled with the very cordial "we", the eyes of the common people were brightened, and the eyes looking at Xiao Minglou were particularly eager.

"I said the general will definitely find a solution! Look!"

"General Xiao will do what he says, he said everything is fine, we are not afraid!"

"General, if there is any need for manpower for fortifications, you can come to us as much as you want, everyone is very happy to help!"

Xiao Minglou smiled and bowed his hands to everyone on his horseback: "Thank you, if you need any help, I will definitely ask you for help. Now that the enemy is at hand, everyone should stay at home as much as possible, and don't run outside the city. It helped."

Everyone promised that there would be absolutely no problem, didn't they just go out of the city, and they rarely go out of the city on weekdays, who would run out to be caught by the enemy when they have nothing to do, is their mind caught by the door?

After the people had dispersed, Qi Chang rode closer and said, "What did the Shaodong family see when watching the stars at night, so that they are so confident in this battle?"

"Secret." Xiao Minglou winked at him playfully, "Who told you not to learn it, but Junior Brother Duan is still in the camp, if you are curious, you can ask him."

As Su Ku was a party to the game, Xiao Minglou did not recommend him to take risks on the front line, so this round of detours and sneak attacks did not follow. If he came, it would not be Xiao Minglou's turn to do stargazing at night. .

Stargazing can be said to be a compulsory course for practitioners, and even Wang Jun can do some, but Xiao Shaodong's family really doesn't like Wang Jun's level, so he never even mentioned his name.

There was a wry smile on Qi Chang's lips: "Young Master, please don't joke."

Firstly, it was impossible for him to ask Duan Youxue such a question, and secondly... Xiao Minglou never taught him how to read the stars.

It's not that he doesn't want to learn.

But since the Young Master said so, even if it was black, Qi Chang would open his eyes and say it was white.

So he put on an expression of "I'm stupid, I can't learn", and said to Xiao Minglou: "Since that's the case, I'd better wait and see. The Young Master is so confident, the opportunity to win must appear soon."

Xiao Minglou smiled with satisfaction: "That's very good."

It's not that he doesn't want to tell Ah Chou, but that things like weather are unpredictable, and Xiao Minglou is not completely sure.

However, he had already thought of a few countermeasures. As the so-called three caves of the cunning rabbit are more than enough to deal with various situations, it is just that compared with the easiest method, it will consume more manpower and material resources.

Here, Xiao Minglou secretly ordered to go down and make some preparations.

Over there, there was chaos in the city.

"The Heavenly Demon Army has poisoned the upper reaches of the river. Once the army besieges the city, we will not survive for a few days!"

When Xiao Minglou and Qi Chang arrived with Duan Youxue and the doctors in the army, they heard someone shouting hissingly: "If you cut off the food, you can live for a few more days, but if you cut off the water, it will kill you!"

Beside a stone well in the city, there was a commotion among the crowd, several people were still lying on the ground, some of their faces were covered with white cloth, and it was too late to be treated.

Xiao Minglou frowned slightly, but Qi Chang waved his hand first to let the soldiers step forward, separating the area around the stone well to make room for the doctors.

In such a chaotic scene, if some tough measures are not used, the people will be even more flustered and the time to save people will be delayed.

The water source was poisoned, and the people panicked. The relatives of the poisoned and fallen people crowded in the front, and their faces were very worried. Lou: "General Xiao... will my A Niu be okay?"

"The water has been poisoned, what should we do now!"

"I heard that the Heavenly Demon Army can already be seen from the top of the city. Is it true that the Heavenly Demon Army is planning to besiege the city and trap us to death!"

Xiao Minglou looked around the crowd, perhaps because his eyes were extremely intimidating, many people who raised their voices gradually quieted down, some even lowered their heads, for some reason, they were a little afraid Eye to eye with him.

"Was the water poisoned?" Xiao Minglou's voice was clear, like a puddle of ice water in a dog day, penetrating people's hearts, "Is the river water poisoned or the well water poisoned?"

For a while, the crowd was silent for a moment, but soon made a loud noise.

Some people say that the well water has been poisoned, some say the river water has been poisoned, and others say that there is no difference. The river water has been poisoned, and the well water flowing through it has also been poisoned.

Xiao Minglou listened, but suddenly smiled.

The people looked at each other in blank dismay.

Although General Xiao smiled very nicely, what's so funny about this kind of thing?

"The upper reaches of the Cang River are at the top of the canyon. Even if the Heavenly Demon Army is strong in martial arts, how can it be so easy to climb up to such a high place and poison them?" Xiao Minglou smiled and shook his head. It has been washed away long ago, how could it be possible to infect all the water sources around here?"

Qi Chang also said: "What's more, the well water comes from groundwater. The underground water system in the mountains is complex, and it may not be the water of the Cang River."

"It's true that the well water is poisonous, but it's not because the Heavenly Demon Army poisoned the water in the Cang River, but because someone in the city is mixing up the water and poisoning the well water." Xiao Minglou said right away.

Duan Youxue dealt with corpses all day long, and she was already very irritable, but now there are still people in this city who want to burden her, she was so angry that she stood up and said, "Think about it quickly, who is going to be the first?" Spread the word that the river water was poisoned!"

If he finds him, he will definitely beat him up.

Can't beat Qi Chang, can't they also beat a villain who poisons, spreads rumors, and tries to create panic? !

Although the common people were instigated by others before, their emotions were intense, and their minds were inevitably irrational, but after Xiao Minglou and Qi Chang's analysis, even the doctors in the army stood up to speak out, and now no matter how stupid they are, they understand that they are was taken advantage of.

At the moment, everyone was very angry, and the crowd was so angry that they all opened their eyes wide, and they wanted to find out the first person who uttered rumors!

"Did you say that?!"

"It's not me, I also heard what Da Mao said!"

"I'm wronged, it's clearly Aunt Liu who said it first, and I followed suit..."

Everyone grabbed me, I questioned you, everyone was desperately remembering who they heard the rumor from, the scene was chaotic for a while.

Among the crowd, an unattractive man leaned down and ducked out, avoiding a few arms waving excitedly. He was about to crawl out of the crowd sneakily, but he didn't escape Qi Chang's eyes.

Qi Chang pulled out a plain knife from the waist of the soldier beside him, and with great force in his hand, he threw it hard towards the back of the crowd.

I saw a gloomy knife light across the air, and before I could react, I heard a gust of wind whizzing past.The man had just climbed out of the sea of ​​people, and before he could stand up, his ears seemed to be cut by a blade. The blade rubbed against his neck and shoulders, and was directly nailed to the ground with his clothes. The man screamed in fright, □□ fainted a trace of water.

"Alas……"

All the people around avoided him. They subconsciously took two steps back because of the man's yelling, but when he saw the man being nailed to the ground with a knife and his body emitting an obvious foul smell, they were even more disgusted.

"Wait, I remembered, wasn't he the one who yelled the loudest just now?"

"It's him, it's him!"

Everyone recognized it. At the beginning, it was said that the river water was poisoned, and the person who everyone had no water to drink was the man in front of him!

"He Cheng?" Someone also recognized the man's identity. Although his surname is He, he is the adopted son of the He family. He is narrow-minded and lazy, and he is always compared with He Zhong.Over time, He Cheng harbored resentment towards the He family, and even towards Canghe County.

He Cheng was blushing, struggling desperately to escape, not even caring about his clothes, tearing off his coat and using his hands and feet to escape, but Qi Chang rushed to him first and kicked him on the waist, causing him to fall down heavily , His face hit the ground.

Qi Chang didn't stay strong with this kick, because he also recognized that this person was the one who blamed Xiao Minglou that night, provoked the resentment of the people, and shouted the loudest.

"Looking for death." Qi Chang lowered his head coldly, and He Cheng met his gaze, almost peeing in fear again.

Those eyes were like the anger of a god, thunderous and overwhelming, making people breathless.

He Cheng rolled his eyes and passed out immediately.

The author has something to say: Qi Chang: I am very angry for daring to plot against the young master.

He Cheng: Damn, I'm scared to death!

Xiao Minglou: ...Don't say that, Ah Chou is so kind.

Duan Youxue: Only seniors can open their eyes and talk nonsense.
