My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Spring has already begun in Jianqi County, but the chill in the air seems to be colder than in winter.

The county magistrate put on a thick fur coat and stood by the pond, admiring the fish that kept jumping out of the water to take a breath after cutting through the ice.

Rapid footsteps sounded behind him, and the fat figure of the county magistrate appeared behind him.

"Why, you still don't want to give up on the Guanyin Church?" The county magistrate asked casually without turning around, as if he knew who it was.

"Brother Yongnian, look at the green energy protecting the city above your head!" The county magistrate said helplessly: "Didn't you notice that the green energy protecting the city has dissipated a little quickly recently?"

"Didn't they let the granary be opened to release grain? Are those unruly people making trouble again?" The county magistrate raised his head. Compared to a few days ago, the aura of protecting the city seemed to be much lighter. He took out the official seal and closed his eyes to feel it, and frowned. road.

They can not be afraid of the Guiyi Sect's army because of the green energy that protects the city. As long as the city gate is closed, what if the rebel army is really ferocious?

But now the green energy protecting the city has declined significantly, which is indeed a worrying and puzzling matter.

In order to stabilize the people's hearts, he specially opened a warehouse to release grain.

"Keeping the city gate closed all the time is not an option. Many people froze to death in the city before. Although they were dealt with, the city gate has not been opened since spring plowing has arrived, and many businesses are no longer possible." The county magistrate hesitated. After a while, he said: "I see that the rebels have left. How about temporarily opening the city?"

Kaicheng?

The county magistrate was hesitant. He had received orders from the Jiang family to save the city.

But if the city gate is not opened, as the county magistrate said, the people will lose their livelihood, and there is no solution if the green energy that protects the city continues to be consumed.

"Sir, the head of the Zhang family wants to see you." A nurse came in and clasped his fist at the county magistrate from a distance.

"What's he doing here?" The county magistrate frowned, casually grabbed a handful of bait and sprinkled it into the fish pond. Watching the bait being eaten, he said casually: "Let him in!"

"Yes."

After a while, a middle-aged man came in. As soon as they met, he knelt down on the ground without saying a word, kowtowed to the county magistrate and said, "Please save me."

"What does Zhang Yuanwai mean by this?" The county magistrate stretched out his hand to help him up and asked with a frown.

"Yesterday, I received a letter from Fei Ge from the village outside the city, saying that the thieves of the Guiyi Sect are here again. Yesterday, they began to preach the doctrines of the Guiyi Sect in the countryside and began to measure the land. As long as they are willing to join the Guiyi Sect, there are ten acres of land available. Take it, but the farmland they allocated belongs to my Zhang family!" Zhang Yuanwai lamented: "The farmland in my family is the family property accumulated by my ancestors from generation to generation. It is in full compliance with the laws of the imperial court. Please make your decision. "

"Exceptor, it's not that I don't care about you, but I really can't help you!" The county magistrate sighed. If he really had the ability to do this, he wouldn't have to close the door and rely on the green energy to defend the city wall.

"That's right, Yuanwai, those are all rebels. The Jianqi County guards and the Yamen servants total are only 200 people. How can we compete with them?" the county magistrate also said in support.

"Don't worry, can the fields divided by the rebels be counted? After this matter is over, those fields will not all belong to you, so don't worry." The county magistrate waved his hand and said: "Go back first, those rebels can't be rampant anymore. how long."

Zhang Yuanwai begged several times, but seeing that the county magistrate was obviously impatient, he could only sigh and leave.

"These people are always too short-sighted. Are they rebelling against thieves and dividing their fields? Ha~" He thought this was quite funny. Jianqi County has not been conquered yet, so what's the use of dividing the fields? If you leave today, you will come back to this field tomorrow, and you can even take the opportunity to make a fortune.

He felt that the person who came up with this idea was also sick.

On the other side, Zhang Yuanwai returned home in despair, only to see several other family heads waiting here. When they saw him coming back, they hurriedly gathered around him: "How?"

Zhang Yuanwai sighed, shook his head and said: "Of course I shouldn't. I said that when the rebels are wiped out, the fields will be reclaimed."

"Hey, it's fine if there are only one or two families here. But if Guiyi Sect divides all the fields, how many people will be needed? I can guarantee that if we dare to speak this way, the people outside the city will eat us alive. .”

"The county magistrate is also a fool. He can't even see through this."

"It's not that I can't see through it, it's that I don't care about our life or death at all!"

"What's the use of talking about this? What should I do now? I've heard that Lu Xuan is a ruthless character. Several of my friends in Sanyang County have written to me and said that if Lu Xuan calls, don't do anything. With a small move, he killed big families, one by one!"

"I'm afraid that before someone comes to kill us, our land will be divided. Will you go with him then?"

"Everyone." One person suddenly said in a deep voice: "With the current situation, the county magistrate can't control this matter. In this case, why don't we open the city earlier, which is better than having all the cultivated land occupied by others?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent.

Being forced and taking the initiative are two different things. If the court pursues this matter again, it will be a serious crime to kill the nine tribes accidentally!

"This method is too extreme, don't mention it again!" Zhang Yuanwai shook his head. Although he was anxious, he couldn't do anything with the whole family's head in mind. Although Lu Xuan was cruel, he would not be far behind if the court's laws were followed.

"Then what should I do? Just wait like this and watch my property being confiscated?"

Zhang Yuanwai shook his head, how could it be possible, that was his wealth and life.

He raised his head and looked at the green aura protecting the city in the sky. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Although we can't take the initiative to open the city and surrender, it is not impossible if we secretly help. When the rebels enter the city, we can also use this Let's take credit from those rebels."

"How can I help?" Some people didn't understand what they meant.

"The reason why this county is not afraid of rebels is because of the green energy that protects the city. But I don't know if you have noticed it. The green energy that protects the city has faded a lot recently. I think it has something to do with things outside the city. The people outside the city Now I’m afraid a lot of them have joined the Guiyi Sect.”

Zhang Yuanwai looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "We might as well add fuel to the flames and spread this matter in the city. I'm afraid the green energy protecting the city won't last long."

To directly gather people to seize the city gate and dedicate it to the city, not only is it risky, but if they are found out afterwards, there may be a risk of beheading, but if it is to secretly spread the news, they are good at this.

Everyone heard this and felt that this method was safe. It would not offend the imperial court and allow the Guiyi Sect to break through the city as soon as possible. When the time comes, they would also be able to use this to negotiate with the Guiyi Sect. No matter how you say it, it would be a meritorious service. The religion can't just kill them all.

"Okay, done!"

After everyone discussed the details, mainly the content of the rumors, they dispersed.

In the next few days, Ergou and Sandao were working on land distribution outside the city and had nothing to do with the county magistrate.

"Er Gou, it seems that the green energy protecting the city is almost gone. Is this thing so effective?" On this day, Sandao frowned and looked at the city in the distance. The green energy protecting the city was still very strong a few days ago, but now Looking again, it seems that only a thin layer is left.

Ergou raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of the city, then shook his head and said: "Don't worry about him, the commander-in-chief has an order. Before the land is divided, let him do whatever he wants. As long as he doesn't leave the city, just ignore him!"

Ergou has always carried out Lu Xuan's orders to the end. Even if he saw that the green energy of the city's defense was almost gone, he remained unmoved. The main purpose of coming this time was to divide the fields, and the city was a trivial matter.

After this is over, there are still three other counties to take care of.

"Sir, is this land really given to us?" An old man held the voucher in his hand and looked at the two dogs eagerly.

"Don't worry, old man, this is the order of my family's commander-in-chief himself. As long as it is distributed to you today, from now on this matter will be under my control. As long as I am still here, who will steal your land?" , take this and come to any branch of the Guiyi Sect, and there will be someone to help you!" Ergou nodded affirmatively and made a promise.

"Thank you sir, thank you Commander-in-Chief, thank you Heavenly Master!" The old man knelt down tremblingly and wanted to kowtow. With these things, this year's life is somewhat promising.

"Don't be like this, get up quickly." Ergou helped the person up and said, "There are people waiting behind you!"

"Yes, yes!" The old man held his credentials and got out of the way, as if he was afraid of being snatched away.

Ergou suddenly felt that the infuriating energy in his body seemed to be flowing much faster. He turned to look at Sandao in confusion: "Have you been feeling anything lately?"

"What does it feel like?" Sandao was puzzled.

"The speed of practicing internal strength is much faster." Ergou said.

"No." San Dao shook his head. What Lu Xuan gave him was the official seal of the Liang County Magistrate. As luck here increased, the benefits would naturally not fall on him.

"It's weird, I feel like I'm in the late stage of the day after tomorrow." Feeling the vigorous inner energy in his body, Ergou shook his head and said.

"Get to work quickly." San Dao waved his hand: "Don't be lazy."

"Row!"

On the other side, in Jianqi City, the county magistrate has been frightened for the past few days. He has watched half of the green energy protecting the city disappear. Now, can the green energy protecting the city still stop the rebel army?

Magistrate Jianqi was a little panicked. If he continued like this, the green energy protecting the city would be gone, and he would not be able to escape, let alone defend the city.

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have made such a promise to Mr. Jiang in the first place." Looking at the increasingly faint aura of protecting the city, Magistrate Jianqi became anxious again: "What should I do?"

After Jiang Shu escaped, he arranged for county magistrates from various places to guard the city and wait for reinforcements from the court.

It's just that more than a month has passed, and it's already spring. The reinforcements from the imperial court that Jiang Shu mentioned have yet to be seen. On the contrary, the Guiyi Sect's rebels are becoming more and more rampant.

The county magistrate sighed: "The green energy protecting the city has dissipated so quickly, I'm afraid there are people in the city secretly adding fuel to the fire."

The county magistrate suddenly turned around, looked at the county magistrate, nodded after a moment and said: "No wonder they haven't been seen jumping out again these days, they are doing these things."

"Brother Yongnian, now is not the time to talk about this. I am afraid that Jianqi cannot be defended anymore. I will wait for an opportunity to break out. If I keep waiting like this, I am afraid that I will be trapped and die here. I will wait as soon as possible. Just inform the imperial court of these actions against the thieves!" the county magistrate said in a deep voice.

"Yes." The county magistrate nodded and said, "That's fine, you and I will leave the city tonight."

It was impossible for him to die with the city.
