Chang Yuan was fine, and the tense atmosphere at the scene returned to calm.

"Since it's a thank you gift, I'll accept it. Wen Cheng must be very happy if he sees it. You should share the remaining jars with your brothers."

Ma Honglin bowed to thank him, "Thank you, General."

"Okay, seeing your tired face, go down and rest."

Ma Honglin looked serious, "General, we came back in such a hurry because we have something to report to you. After we escorted Brother Ning home, we took a shortcut on the way here. When we passed Taixi County, we smelled the smell of There was an abnormal smell of meat, I felt like human flesh. Is there something wrong inside?"

Chang Yuan nodded, "There is indeed an accident inside. Hu Dadao indulged his subordinates to do anything wrong, blackmailed those merchants and aristocratic families, and even arrested their wives and daughters into the army. Some people couldn't bear the humiliation and burned their food and grass with a fire at night. gone."

"Then why don't they leave?"

Wang Hanting took the words, "The counties around Taizhou Prefecture have already fallen into our hands. Taixi County is surrounded on three sides. Hu Dadao is afraid that we will ambush him when he runs out."

Chang Yuan saw that the corners of Ma Honglin's eyes were black and his face was exhausted, "Go back and rest, in a few days we will set off with the whole army and take Taixi County."

As long as they release the news that they are going to attack Taixi County in advance, Hu Dadao must know what to do.

……

"Is the discussion over? Come and eat."

"Second Uncle." Chang Wencheng saw Chang Yuan walking out, got up and said.

"Sit down." Chang Yuan held a jar of chili sauce in his hand.

"Ning Changrong and the others asked Hong Lin to send it. Wencheng, can you see if it's the pepper you mentioned?"

Chang Wencheng's eyes lit up, he took the jar from Chang Yuan's hand, opened it, smelled the familiar spicy smell, and nodded, "Yes, this is chili pepper!"

"Come on, let's taste the taste of this pepper together as a family. If it can really keep out the cold in winter, it will have a great effect."

"Huh." Chang Yuan scooped up a little pepper and mixed it with vegetables in a bowl to eat, feeling his whole stomach was burning hot, and his mouth seemed to be on fire.

He waited for a long time before opening his mouth, "It seems that this chili pepper can really drive away the cold. I just took such a small bite, and I feel that my whole body is soaked in heat."

Chang Wencheng had eaten before, but he was not so embarrassed, "Second uncle, if we can buy some with Uncle Ning and send them to the north, the soldiers will not have such a hard time in winter."

Chang Yuan picked up the bowls and chopsticks again, "I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach after eating this. I don't know if other people can adapt to it. Let's try it here first."

Chang Wencheng knew that Chang Yuan had always acted cautiously, "Second uncle, you feel sick to your stomach because you ate it for the first time, and you ate a little too much. Try it again at night and you will know. Chili is definitely a good thing."

Chang Yuan smiled and said: "You brat, you don't remind me if you know that Second Uncle eats too much, and you sincerely want to see Second Uncle's jokes, don't you?"

Chang Wencheng was shocked, "Second Uncle, where do I have it? Didn't I have time to remind you, so you ate it." Although he really wanted to see how the always calm Second Uncle would react after eating the chili.

……

"Brother! Chang Yuan is going to send someone to beat us! What should we do!?"

"Yeah, big brother, make up your mind! The following is going to be messed up!"

"It's over, it's over, Chang Yuan is following us, let's run quickly, if this is surrounded, none of them will be able to escape."

"Why are they running? Why do they run? No matter how powerful Chang Yuan is, we won't run away without being beaten. If word spreads after this, how can we behave?!"

"Still being a human?! If you don't run away, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to be a ghost!"

In the Juyi Hall, a group of people were chattering, causing Hu Dadao to have a headache.

He patted the table in front of him angrily, "Why are you arguing! Does it work?!"

After Hu Dadao finished yelling, the scene was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

He glared at several people, to see who dared to speak indiscriminately.

The others were silent and did not dare to speak. Anyone who dared to disobey Hu Dadao these days was dragged out and cooked.

That is to say, in front of the enemy, they were too flustered to dare to be so presumptuous, forgetting that the big brother in front of them had changed.

"Don't make any noise, just listen to me."

Hu Dadao's face was gloomy, his eyes were red, "Right now we are surrounded on three sides. If we want to run, there is only one way, Jiuwan Mountain. As long as we run to the mountain, Chang Yuan will have nothing to do with us, and he must have just wanted to attack us." If you want a city, there’s nothing left in this city anyway, so I’ll give it to him if it’s a big deal.”

The gold, silver and jewels have been looted by them, and the food is gone, except for a group of people who are hungry like ghosts, this is an empty city, just throwing this hot potato to the other party.

Someone raised his hand boldly, and only after Hu Dadao nodded, he dared to speak.

"Brother, did Chang Yuan send someone to release this news on purpose? He just wanted to force us out of the city by ourselves, and then guard us outside?"

Hu Dadao's face became more gloomy, "What you said is also very possible. We can only gamble."

If they continue to stay, they will definitely not be able to defend the city. When the city is broken, the result will be a dead end.

Go out and fight, maybe you can fight for a way out.

After making up their minds, the others spent a few days and began to collect the spoils they had collected.

Fearing that the news would leak out, all the women who were taken captive to the barracks were killed.

In addition to gold, silver and weapons, they only brought some ready-made "dry food".

Before setting off, Hu Dadao sent several teams out to investigate the surrounding news. After finding that no one was stopping them, he made up his mind to leave the city quietly at night with a large army.

Ning Changrong was falling asleep when someone knocked on the door suddenly.

"Brother! Get up quickly! Something happened!"

Ning Changrong woke up suddenly, and opened the door with a yawn, "Second brother? What's the matter? Aren't you guarding outside?"

They not only sent people to guard the entrance of the mountain stream, but also outside the mountain stream.

Ning Changrong also gave the binoculars to the guards outside.

Today happened to be Ning's second son's turn.

"It's not good, brother! I just saw that there seemed to be a fire down there! I don't know what happened! It's a mess down here, and there are shouts of killing everywhere!"

Ning Changrong was awakened suddenly, and the drowsiness disappeared without a trace.

Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi, who heard the voice coming out from the side, looked heavy.

"Come on, let's go out and have a look."

Ning Changrong went back to his room to get his weapon, put on some clothes, and hurriedly followed Ning Lao Er to go out again to check the situation.

After the people left, Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi also carried Huo Chong and hand crossbows, "Xixi, hurry up and get your gong and wake everyone up!"
