None of the colleagues dared to utter a single word.
They were filled with regret that they shouldn't have spoken earlier on.
As expected, there was no doubt that they would make a mistake.
Mr Yiyun hid behind everyone else, afraid that Wangchong would look at him.
Unexpectedly, Wangchong suddenly changed his tone and asked in a friendly tone, "There are only four rebel soldiers.
Don't tell me they're bandits, right?
Don't you think?"With that said, he swept his gaze across the crowd unknowingly.
Mr Yiyun felt guilty, and thought that he was the one who had swept his gaze around.
Thus, he braced himself and replied, "Your Excellency, I understand very clearly.
It's a bandit.
It's a bandit.
In view of Caozhou's precedent, the thieves only dare to attack the city in the dark.
How dare they invade the city in broad daylight?"Unexpectedly, not only did Wangchong's words not serve as comforting words, but they instead reminded him.
He put on an even more brilliant appearance and said, "You don't know, but this is a group of thieves scouting the way so that they can prepare for the night's attack.
We need to prepare more torches!"Thus, they ordered the city guards to gather lanterns, candles, oil, etc.
Everything that could be lit must be brought over.
For such things, the government guards were the first to compete for it.
They were afraid to fall behind because they could take advantage of the opportunity to go to various households to search for it.In order to strengthen the city's defenses, Wangchong ordered for more arrows to be prepared.
The method was to move stones to the city with a little bit of money per household, and then to demolish the houses near the city so that they could get closer to the city.Not long after the order was issued, a toothy general rushed over in a panic and reported, "The people on the street are running around.
They're all saying that they're here.
They're here!"When Wangchong heard this, he immediately jumped up from his chair and asked, "Where are the thieves?
How many people have come?""It's not that one.
I don't know what kind of rumors the ignorant commoners heard, but they ran around everywhere and couldn't persuade them.
Some of them are injured.
I'm here to ask my lord what to do.
"Wang Chongfu sat back down in his chair and heaved a sigh of relief.
However, the ignorant commoners had actually caused him to suffer a false shock.
He felt that this was even worse than 'thief soldiers' harassing him.
He pointed at the general and scolded, "What a fool.
What's so difficult about this?
You won't use your army to suppress it?
If you can't, then use your horse to charge.If not, he would just kill a few of them to show off.Let's see if they still dare to disturb themselves.
Huh, why are you still staying here?"The general seemed to be a little hesitant, but when he saw Wangchong's furious eyes under his 'Lifestar Brow', he was like a trapped beast that had fallen into a trap and was anxious to bite.
He immediately responded, "As you command!" Then he turned and left.Thus, a tragedy immediately occurred in Shanzhou City.
Those commoners who were still running around the streets were originally running along the streets when they saw the scouting horse this morning.
They also saw that the city gates were suddenly closed and soldiers were sent to search.
As a result, they caused fear, and thus began to run around.Now that they had been driven here by the soldiers riding on their horses, they were even more shocked and collided with each other.
Many of them were squeezed and injured on the spot, even their bones were broken.The most miserable thing is that there is an old granny carrying a child.
First, she fell to the ground, and then she was rushed by the horse team.
The two ancestral grandsons were trampled to the point of blood and flesh, and even their intestines were stepped out by the horse's hooves The common people on the street finally dispersed in panic under the shout of "go back to your homes and don't run around"..The street was empty and silent, leaving only the murmurs of some injured bedridden men, and the scattered hoods, shoes, bags, baskets, and the trunks of cars across the street (which was left behind by the refugees).
There was no need to ask the Lord Wang how to deal with them.
Someone would come out to pack them.First, they let the soldiers fight to "clean up" it.
Before they could "clean up", they let the thieves and idlers clean it up.In the afternoon, Wangchong felt his heart suffocating, and he couldn't eat anymore.
His fifth concubine had personally ordered the kitchen to make a bowl of cabbage soup that was commonly known as Monk Flame's.
He had also brought over the Sapidity Wine that he loved to drink.
However, he only drank a few mouthfuls of it and didn't want to drink anymore.
He simply sat there and muttered to himself, "Damned Zhangjie, why aren't you back yet?"Just as he was cursing non-stop, a guard suddenly came to report that one of the scouts sent to Caopu's Second State to spy on the situation had returned.
As soon as Wangchong heard this, he immediately instructed the scout to call in.
Not long later, a peddler walked in.
His clothes were covered in filth, and his eyebrows and beard were also covered in yellow soil.
Normally, Wangchong would have told him to stand far away, but now he had asked him to take a step closer.
Pointing at a vermilion chair by the door, he said, "Sit down and tell me the situation over there.""..."The scout seemed to be a little flattered.
He hurriedly said, "Master Xie," and sat down on the stool.
Then he said, "My lord, I am at Caozhou at the end of the month.
Along the way, I saw the commoners of the four villages and eight towns.
Most of them were country bumpkins, and they all ran to Caozhou.Some said that they were going to watch the murder, some carried baskets, and some said that they were going to divide food and salt.
The little one followed behind those bumpkins into the city.
The city gate was not closely investigated, and there were several thieves standing there.
I walked away, so I wasn't afraid of him.If it weren't for the long spears in their hands and the red cloth strips on their shoulders, they would have thought that they were also country bumpkins!
When they arrived in the city, they found out that Wang Yanwei had already taken over the history bookshelf.

Food, treasury, and armor storage had all been plundered by the thieves.Some of the merchants' households were also robbed.
There was a man named 9th granduncle.
He was said to be the eldest brother-in-law of Cao Zhou's history.
He was killed, and his head hung on the West District's courtyard.
And there was also one...""Stop talking about this.
Have you ever found out where you're going to kill and rob a Thief?" Wangchong interrupted the scout and asked."I found out about that." The scout said proudly, "One time, I walked on the street and saw a large group of people gathered there.
I also went up to take a look.
It turned out that those people were listening to the words of a few bandits and had no food to eat.
They also said that it wasn't enough to take down Cao Zhou, nor did they take down Lang Zhou.
They also wanted to take down the Zhou state, Xu State, Song State, Slipping State, and our Zhi State.
They wanted to take down all the other provinces in the world.""That's a Thief's ignorance.
What I want to ask is which state are they going to fight next?"The scout felt a little confused and couldn't reply for a moment.
He couldn't help but show a guilty expression, but in his heart, he was secretly anxious.
"The reward this time will be discounted!"Mr.
Yiyun hurriedly said, "Have you ever seen where the criminal army is gathering, or where they are moving in a line?""Oh, yes." The scout's expression became lively again, and he suddenly realized something.
"On the day I returned, I saw a large group of thieves.
I secretly estimated that there would be more than a thousand people heading northeast.
Zhi is heading in our direction!"Wangchong had already lowered his head, looking a little sleepy.
When he heard this, he immediately leaned over and asked, "Where are these thieves now?""That's strange.
I've been paying attention, but I haven't seen them again.""Bah!
You're a fool!" Wangchong stomped his foot in frustration.
He had already put away his initial composure towards the scouts, revealing an intense look of dissatisfaction, "Could it be that a large group of thieving soldiers has flown away?
You must have been slacking off and relaxed your search.
You must have gone somewhere to drink, haven't you?"The scout quickly stood up and replied, "I don't dare.
It's hard to buy food outside, so where is there wine?
I can't see the truth."Wangchong suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed directly at the scout.
"Damn it, damn it.
If we don't find out what's so important, what use do we have to you?"The surrounding people couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on the scout's behalf.
Because Lord Wang was infuriated, even if the scout didn't kill his head, he would still be beaten to a pulp.Suddenly, there was a 'pa' sound.
The spy reached out and slapped himself in the mouth.
Then, he knelt down and said, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die.
Please calm down, my lord.
Let me investigate again."That slap seemed to have calmed Wangchong's anger.
Then, he pointed and cursed, "I'll record a head for you first.
Go investigate it again.
I'll reward you if I find anything.
Otherwise, I'll skin you!""Thank you, my lord.
I'll go now," said the scout, running out in a hurry.
He stumbled on the threshold and stumbled.After the scout left, Wangchong didn't know what to say.
He simply sat there, frowning.There was silence around him, and everyone was looking at him nervously, knowing that it was time to be extra careful, and that it was time for his lordship to rage at the first touch.All he heard was the sound of footsteps behind Mother Yun's screen.
A maid named Xiao Waner, carrying a silver tray, delivered a famous cup of tea, "Yangxian Spring Pool." Wang Chongzheng felt a tinge of thirst in his mouth, and immediately picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Unexpectedly, the tea had just been made, causing his tongue to roll in his mouth.With a loud bang, Wangchong smashed the teacup to the ground.
Then, he leapt up and slapped Xiao Waner's headless face.
He slapped Xiao Waner more than ten times in a row, and only when he felt that his hand was aching did he stop.
Then, he collapsed weakly on his chair and looked at the stunned subordinates around him, "All of you, stand guard for me!"Those people couldn't wait to hear him say this, and immediately left.
Wangchong was the only one left who remained seated there, feeling bored.Suddenly, a rustling sound came from behind Mother Cloud's screen.
Wangchong couldn't help but turn around.They saw a pinkish-white and tender young child holding a long string of yellow sparrows in his hand as he leapt onto Wangchong's body.
The child's innocent eyes widened as he excitedly grabbed onto Wangchong's purple robes.
"Father, look, my birdie!"Wangchong immediately picked up this only child, who was almost five years old, and pressed his tender, chubby face closer to him.
He kissed her more lovingly than usual.The child struggled in his arms, constantly pushing his face with his small hands, hating the bearded man on his mouth.
However, Wangchong still hugged the child tightly, kissing and kissing him.
It wasn't until the nanny panicked and chased after him that he reluctantly put down the child and said in an extremely gentle voice to the nanny, "Take him away!
Be careful and don't touch him again.""..."Just as the nanny was about to carry the child, Wangchong waved his hand and said, "Wait a moment, I want to reward you!" Then, he took off a precious jade that was worth tens of thousands and handed it over to her.
The nanny was stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
She said with tears of gratitude, "Lord Xie, I will do my best to take care of the young master.""I can't accept this jade, but I'm going to ruin it!""Take it, I order you to take it!" Wangchong's hand remained motionless in the air.The nanny had no choice but to take it and kowtow heavily before carrying the child away.
When the child laughed and led the oriole away from the hall, Wangchong was even more stunned as he sat there stiffly.
Suddenly, as if there were needles on his chair, he leapt up again, took several steps, and began cursing again and again."Damned Zhangjie, why aren't you back yet?
Why aren't you back yet?"His hoarse voice echoed through the empty hall.Only the maid Queen Hao, who had been beaten until her face was purple, stood in a corner with her hair over her shoulders.
She did not dare to move nor dared to cry.
