Chapter 52 Red Ridge (Revised)
Cheng Yun'an's head was full of sweat.If he didn't know that suicide was useless, he really wanted to kill himself and make some contribution to the Great Xia Dynasty by the way.

There were only a few dozen yamen servants, together with the public officials in the yamen, nervously guarding the high walls and gates with weapons in hand. Their thin configuration was in sharp contrast to the massive siege team. If not for the latter, which was mainly composed of Composed of local residents, Shaonan City may have fallen, and it is unknown whether someone shouted, "The princes and generals are better than each other."

A few star warlocks float quietly in the air at a height of 400 meters. If it is only physical weapons such as bows and arrows, this place is absolutely safe.

Someone raised his head and shouted, and the crowd below suddenly became chaotic, but the congested traffic quickly stopped those who wanted to retreat. In the case of inconsistent goals, this army of citizens has no ability to move .

Cheng Yun'an wiped his sweat violently, and his pale face also recovered a little color, he called his attendants and asked, "Which star warlock is in the sky?"

"I don't know." The attendant shook his head lightly. From such a distance, he could only see a few black shadows.

Cheng Yun'an rubbed his forehead worriedly, he is not an ordinary person, he knows more about the abilities of astrologists, but in the current situation, even if the astrologists in the sky have combat power, they can only unleash a powerful attack every few seconds However, the state government office under his feet may be pushed down in an instant.The crowd below was already more than [-] to [-] people, and it was barely a riot of the people. If it further turned into a riot, he would have to pay for his life when the incident ended.

The Great Xia Dynasty had little tolerance for riots.

Taking advantage of everyone's calm, Cheng Yun'an climbed up to the high wall and shouted loudly: "Everyone, everyone, the state capital will build a porridge shed outside the four gates of the state city, and will call carpenters to build houses, and bedding, etc. will also be built." Send it to everyone soon, you are surrounded by the gate of the yamen, we can't go out to do business..."

"When we leave the city, you will close the city gate and send officers and troops over." Someone hiding in the crowd shouted loudly.

Cheng Jinzhou watched such a scene on TV a lot. The two sides didn't trust each other. Empty words were basically meaningless. The matter would either turn into wrangling until one side got tired, or turn into chaos until the winner was decided. He twisted a little Turned around and whispered: "Mr. Wang Linghe, can you take me to Hongri Village in the east of the city?"

"Do you want to open a warehouse to release food?" The three experienced astrologists could see his thoughts at a glance. Liu Kuang shook his head and said, "The troops stationed near Hongri Village are not subject to the control of the state capital, and there is no written notice from the capital. Admit it, even if you succeed in releasing food, it is still a felony."

"I can release the Cheng family's own grain." Cheng Jinzhou snorted. The grain hoarded by the Red Ridge Village has both officials and civilians, and with the system of the Great Xia Dynasty, the grain stored by the nobles may be more than that stored by the official warehouses. many.

"The road is blocked by heavy snow, I am afraid it will be difficult."

"It's only a few dozen miles away." Cheng Jinzhou insisted.

"It can relieve a little bit." Wang Linghe nodded and said: "Then a few of you are waiting here, I will come as soon as I go."

"Alright." Since Liu Kuang came, he didn't want a real riot to happen, so he just stopped in the air as a deterrent.

Lu Xu, who was floating aside, scratched his ears and said anxiously, "I'll go with you too. Standing here, I can't help but want to blow people up."

Cheng Jinzhou still had a grudge against Lu Xu, but he still had to do something first. Seeing that Liu Kuang didn't object, he took advantage of the silence below and simply shouted to the people below: "I'm going to transport food into the city now, everyone, don't surround the state office. .”

The second half of the sentence was meaningless, and some people yelled at Kong: "He wants to transfer the officers and soldiers..."

"I want to kill you in a matter of a moment. I don't need officers and soldiers." Cheng Jinzhou answered quickly. He saw that most of the people below were ordinary citizens in plain clothes, and there were very few people in rags. He said in his heart: "After the food arrives , will be sent to each grain store, and the government office will force each grain store to sell grain at a par price..."

"Then what should we do? We don't have money to buy rice..." The voices of trouble were endless, but most people calmed down instead.

As the noise gradually subsided, Cheng Jinzhou nodded to Wang Linghe, who grabbed his collar and flew east of the city. From a distance, it looked like an eagle catching a chicken for the festival.

Lu Xu yelled, and rushed out first, much faster than Wang Linghe, but estimated from the wind speed, the speed of the two of them moving in the air was only more than a hundred kilometers, which was equivalent to the standard of a biplane. Covering his face, he didn't feel uncomfortable.

After getting away from the crowd, Cheng Jinzhou, who was held in his hands, heaved a sigh of relief, while pulling his robe to block the wind, he muttered, "Can you carry me?"

"I'm a second-level star warlock and I'm in good health." Wang Linghe laughed a few times and sped up a little.

With a fourth-level star warlock, two second-level star warlocks, and a first-level star warlock like Xiang Xin, such a lineup would have no problem capturing Shaonan City. Cheng Jinzhou thought so and put all his thoughts on how to help. Dad gets off the hook - this is something he is not good at but has to do.

We cannot expect that the aristocratic families of this era will have any quick response mechanism or public relations for crisis response.Cheng's house and yamen were tightly blocked, and Wu Zong and other ordinary astrologists couldn't fly, so it was not easy to tip off the news.Such an emergency is like a ruptured artery. If the blood vessel cannot be tied at the beginning, it is meaningless to tie it later.

In about half an hour, Cheng Jinzhou was carried away to the side of Hongri Village.

The chaos inside the city was also heard from outside, but the road was blocked by heavy snow, and the four doors were closed. They could not receive any news, they just closed the gate of the village, and invited the garrison to help defend—Cheng Yunquan, the uncle of Cheng Jinzhou, went For New Year's greetings in other places, most of the local garrison had already asked for leave and slipped away, and the rest were not even organized.

Lu Xu, who arrived earlier, was already floating outside the village and began to yell: "Look at your crooked flags, they are like children's diapers, and those bow and crossbow positions can't be filled with people. You want to wait for others to climb up! Do you want to help you shoot arrows? Hurry up and open the door for the young master..."

The crossbow arrows on the wall are quite intimidating. Those are all serious military supplies. It is not uncommon to shoot an astromancer two to three hundred meters away.No matter how angry Lu Xu was, he could only fly around Zhuangzi.

The nominal steward of Hongri Village is Cheng Mai, the second-generation son of Qing Zizhi, the serious cousin of Cheng Jinzhou. The steward, wearing a cotton cap and looking like a hunchback, hid in the house, next to the officer sent by the garrison, also a small school about 30 years old.Both of them originally thought that they were just making up for it, but now they can't see the situation clearly, and they can't come up with any ideas.

He evaded again and again, the responsibility lies, the second steward can't rely on the officer, he sighed and came forward and said loudly: "Your Excellency the Star Warlock, this is the Zhuangzi of the Cheng family in Shaonan. not the Lord's."

After finishing speaking, he shivered involuntarily.

The two soldiers who followed the small school were very clever, with their left and right feet twisted on the ground, ready to run away at any time. They had heard too much about the name-calling and killing of the star warlocks. If they were placed on the battlefield, who would prove that they were Commander, whoever will be killed.

Lu Xu wouldn't start a killing spree, but his eyebrows were raised: "You don't even know how to open the door?"

The little colonel flinched like a boiled eggplant, mumbling something in his mouth, and his movements from the waist down were no different from those of a soldier.

The second steward continued to shout: "If anything happens to you, I will tell the master and let them make a decision..."

The conversation between two people is extremely sterile.

Cheng Jinzhou's neck stiffened from being carried, and he gave Lu Xu a hard look, but said softly, "Your Excellency Lu Xu, let me speak."

"Oh, then tell me." Lu Xu might just want to quarrel, and he didn't feel annoyed if he was robbed of the right to speak. He stood with his hands tied as if it had nothing to do with him. Frozen pears.

Cheng Jinzhou curled his lips helplessly, and shouted: "The ones opposite are from the Cheng family, come out."
