After the young man said a few words to the two of them, he left in a hurry because he was in a hurry.

General Li stretched out his hand to hold General Xie, "You also know the situation in the city now. Although the young man just now is young, what he said is very reasonable. Now is indeed not a good time to enter the city."

General Xie gritted his teeth. He knew that what both of them said was reasonable. Now the Southern Barbarians were looking for him. If he appeared in front of those people like this, he didn't know what would happen.

His death is a small matter, but the morale of the military and the people must be stabilized.

No more accidents can happen because of him.

In the end, General Xie relented, "Okay, then I'll listen to you."

The two of them turned around neatly and followed the fleeing people towards the capital.

The people felt that they would be safe wherever His Majesty was.

The prefect squinted his eyes and looked at the Beisu spy in front of him.

"I wonder what the magistrate thinks about it?" The man had a stern look on his face.

The prefect answered the question inappropriately, "When did you come to Fuzhou?"

The man was stunned for a moment, but when he thought that Fuzhou was now in their possession, there was nothing he couldn't say, "I'm here, Fuzhou has been around for ten years."

"What do you think of our Dongling?"

"Donngling has a vast land and rich resources, and it is very good for the people to live and work in peace and contentment." The man said it sincerely, and every word was true.

The magistrate nodded, but was a little puzzled, "That's right, just because we have peace in Dongling, you Beisu attacked the city just to get a piece of the pie?"

The man avoided the magistrate's gaze, hesitated, and said, "What are you talking about? The general trend of the world will inevitably converge after a long period of time. There is no other way."

After a pause, he said with a flattering look, "Our general said that as long as you are willing to open the city gate, he is willing to give you one hundred taels of gold, the prefect."

As he spoke, he held out two fingers.

The magistrate looked confused, pointed at his nose and said, "Do you think I am such a money-hungry person?"

The man was confused by these words. He said tremblingly, "Aren't you in need?"

These words made the magistrate laugh angrily, "You have known about the things I did in Fuzhou for so many years, right? Do you think I will be short of your mere one hundred taels of gold?"

"Master Magistrate, you make money this way. The money comes slowly and you are scolded by others. Isn't doing business with us different? It's a one-time deal."

After a pause, he continued to confuse, "After the general takes control of Fuzhou, naturally no one will say anything to you. How can I see you, Lord Magistrate, in this business?"

"Don't bullshit me. I told you that I have no interest in your one hundred taels of gold. You can go wherever you want." The prefect frowned and looked impatient.

The man asked tentatively, "How many taels of gold do you think is appropriate?"

"No matter how many two are suitable." After a pause, he waved his hand, "The housekeeper will throw him out of the city. Since he is from Beisuu, he should not be restored to our place."

The man immediately panicked, "Prefect, although I am from Beisu, I have been in Fuzhou for ten years after all. If you let me out like this, they will not know my true identity and I will die!" Lord Prefect!"

"Sir, please think about it. I will talk to our general about paying you more. Even if we fail to negotiate this business today, don't throw me out!"

The prefect ignored him at all, "Can't you hear me?"

Only then did the housekeeper react and quickly called two men, "Throw him out of the city." The two soldiers were obviously stunned, but seeing the prefect standing aside without saying anything, they pulled him away.

"Master Prefect! You think about it! Don't do things too harshly!"

Seeing the man being pulled away, the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

He has seen how much the prefect has loved money over the years, and how many deeds he has done to harm others and not benefit himself for money, but he did not expect that the prefect could resist the temptation this time? To be honest, one hundred taels of gold is really a lot.

To be honest, he was standing aside just now for fear that the prefect would see Qian and open the city gate. Fortunately, he still had a conscience.

The prefect lowered his voice and came closer to him and whispered, "Go and send all the arrow feathers and weapons in my private treasury for the soldiers guarding the city."

Hearing this, the butler's eyes widened. Those things were all things he had saved privately for a long time. He had never thought that he would be so generous. Normally, it would take several days to weigh a chicken. Today, it was really... The sun came out in the west.

Li Miaoyi stood in the yard and watched the slaves coming and going. They were carrying heavy boxes in their hands, and they kept coming back and forth without knowing what was inside.

She winked at Zhong Xia.

Zhong Xia understood, took a few pieces of silver and grabbed a returning servant.

"What are you doing? What are you moving inside?"

The man shook his head, "We don't know what's inside, but the steward told us to move it out, and the carriage will transport it to the city wall."

Zhong Xia nodded and put the broken silver into his hand, "Thank you."

After saying that, he turned around and returned to Li Miaoyi's side, transmitting what the slave just said word for word to Li Miaoyi's ears.

Li Miaoyi's eyes flashed slightly. Compared to a magistrate whom she had known for less than a few days, she actually believed in Xie Mingcang's words more.

"Follow me and have a look. I want to see what the Fuzhou prefect wants to do?"

"Yes."

Several people drove a carriage and followed the team to the city wall.

Wu Xiu said with a worried look, "Miss Li, if things go wrong later, I will find a way to send you away first. You must escape quickly to avoid falling into the hands of Beisu people!"

After saying that, he looked at Jing He and Yun He on the side, "Miss Li will be handed over to you two later. We must protect Miss Li well."

The two of them nodded, "Don't worry, sir."

Li Miaoyi slowly got off the carriage, but he saw a scene that shocked him. The boxes were actually weapons, and the number was so large that Wu Xiu couldn't help but exclaim.

"Does the Fuzhou prefect want to rebel? He secretly manufactures weapons?"

Li Miaoyi looked at him with a complicated look, "In this case, let's not talk about it anymore. It's good if we can successfully defend Fuzhou. Don't mention it in front of the prefect later."

"I don't care, please don't worry, Miss Li."

Li Miaoyi looked at the things in the box with deep eyes. What on earth did the Fuzhou prefect prepare so many things for?

Could it be that he really wanted to usurp the throne?

But if so, this is a good opportunity, why take these things out again?
