Chapter 224： Soldiers outside the city

Chapter 224 Soldiers approaching the city

Regarding how the refugees should eat, after discussing with Liang Sheng, the commander of Anmu City, Xiao Xuan decided to cook porridge in front of the Falling Wild Goose Pagoda. Two bowls of porridge.

It sounds like you need to consume a lot of grains, but after adding cassava and a small amount of sweet potatoes, the rice grains used are much less.

Not only that, Xiao Xuan also brought a lot of seeds of miscellaneous grains for the space, including the seeds of corn, green beans and red beans, which also opened Yin Miao's mind. Got a grain of rice that you can never finish?

The corn is the yellow millet from the previous life, the green bean is the mung bean, and the red bean is also Yin Miao's favorite. She plans to try to move out a small space and plant them all.

"Lili really helped us a lot, otherwise we would have been digging cassava here overnight."

Yin Miao said to Xiao Xuan who was still bagging potatoes not far away.

"Well, those two are also convenient."

Xiao Xuan was referring to two new things in the space called rice cooker and refrigerator. According to Yin Miao, this was because enough eggplant and cassava were used, so the space was rewarded.

Although he didn't know the reason, he could infer that this space was really good for the people, like a reward.

The people of Anmu City, who were seriously injured, did not expect that they would be able to eat porridge every day thanks to the blessing of the refugees who entered the city.

Although there are only two bowls of porridge per person per day, it is already very luxurious for them now.

Especially after getting the first bowl of porridge, many people in Anmucheng could not believe that this was free porridge.

"This porridge is too thick, what is it poured on top of?"

"I just asked and said it was eggplant sauce, it would be more delicious with porridge."

"Are they really refugees? It is said that they can eat these every day. I have never eaten this cassava."

"These are all things that King Xuan gave to help when he saw the suffering of the people, but where did King Xuan get these things?"

"I heard that King Xuan has a large field with rich products outside Nanxiao, and these are all shipped from there."

"Yes, I also heard that King Xuan can give us anything that the court doesn't have for free. King Xuan is really a good person."

"Don't mention the Naraushizi court, it's not auspicious."

“…”

Liang Sheng didn't expect that the old city lord's decision would allow the people in his city to have food, and he didn't expect that Xiao Xuan also specially gave them two carts of supplies for the guards of the city.

Though those potatoes and cassava didn't look too fresh on the surface, it was timely rain for them.

"I'm really grateful to Mr. Xiao. The food in the city was almost squandered by the Beirou people. We are worried about how long this surplus food can last."

Liang Sheng said gratefully to Su Yuan who came to deliver the goods.

Su Yuan and Ning Aliang, who don't talk much to outsiders, just nodded. They were used to this kind of scene. Anyway, every time it was the master who was grateful.

After two days like this, the family began to prepare their luggage. In the early hours of the third day, Xiao Xuan suddenly received news from Wuchen and others stationed outside the city.

"Are you sure it's 20,000 horses?"

Xiao Xuan looked out the window with an unpredictable expression.

"The subordinates confirm that it is indeed 20,000 horses, only more or less."

The dust-free bald head grew some bluish-black hair, and the figure also looked a lot stronger.

"When do you expect to be outside the city?" Xiao Xuan asked again.

"It is roughly estimated that after about two hours, it is time to leave now."

Wuchen changed two horses to arrive so quickly, just to buy time for Xiao Xuan to escape.

"Do you know who is leading the troops?"

Xiao Xuan didn't seem to be in a hurry, Wuchen paused and replied, "Wumakui."

After hearing the name, Xiao Xuan smiled unsurprisingly.

"Let everyone come into the city and be prepared to deal with it."

Wuchen was a little surprised after hearing this, is the master planning to leave? But he didn't ask any questions.

The people of Anmucheng came out in panic when they heard the drums. Liang Sheng, who was dressed in military uniform, was ready with the guards in the center of the city.

"The Beirou soldiers are here again?! What can I do about this!"

"It's over, we can't escape after all..."

"If we let them in, we will definitely be killed!"

“…”

The discussion sounded, but in the dark night, a tall and straight figure in white clothes came out. The man pushed a wooden wheelchair and made bursts of noises on the stone road.

who's that person? Many people looked over.

"Old City Lord!"

Liang Sheng put down his weapon and ran forward in shock.

"It's Young Master Xiao and the old city lord!" Chen Yingguang, who was behind Han Liangyu, shouted directly after recognizing it.

The old city owner is already in a broken body. His legs have been sawed off. Even if he is in a wheelchair, he can only use a rope to fix his upper body, but his eyes are full of unwillingness and stubbornness.

Liang Sheng saw that the old city owner seemed to have something to say, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring a pen and paper.

The vigorous and powerful words flashed across the lights, and Liang Sheng muttered:

"The city is especially broken. Although I am a broken body, even if I have the last breath, I will continue to defend the city of Anmu. Xiao Gongzi has already received the news, but he has not escaped. From now on, I will ask General Liang to lead the troops to listen to them. I order Young Master Xiao, I hope Young Master Xiao will protect my whole city, this kindness and affection cannot be repaid!"

The people quietly listened to the words of the old city lord. They were moved and a little worried at the same time. Is that Young Master Xiao really willing to defend the city with them?

The old city lord's hand also held Xiao Xuan's hand tightly, Xiao Xuan patted the scarred hands gently, and said to everyone in a very calm voice:

"It is not difficult to defend Anmu City, as long as everyone works together, all the warriors in Luoyan Pagoda will also protect this city with me, so you don't need to panic too much."

The man's tone was as usual, but he was extremely convincing, because this man was the brave and adept King Xuan of Nanxiao, and because he had defeated the North Rou country.

However, Xiao Xuan's words still made the people of Anmucheng talk about it.

Does he mean the refugees in the Fallen Wild Goose Pagoda? Can they kill the enemy too?

"If we have weapons, we can also participate in the war, and we are willing to die!"

Some people in the crowd said, and others also agreed. Even the passing refugees were willing to resist the barbarians, and they were even more reluctant to sit still again.

"Weapons...I'll provide them."

As soon as    Xiao Xuan's words came out, even the eyes of the old city lord showed light. They have city walls, some people and weapons. Maybe they can really hold it this time!

"Will the people in the Falling Wild Goose Pagoda really kill the enemy with us?" Someone asked uncertainly.
