When night fell, Tang Yin and many other citizens were once again placed on the city walls to watch the night. This was exactly what Tang Yin wanted.

He and more than twenty of his subordinates stood guard above City Gate Tower. When it was late at night, he gathered all of the surrounding citizens and said: "Right now, there's not enough wood and stone slabs on the city walls. You guys can go below the city walls and bring some up!"

He was the leader of these people, and even if they were dissatisfied with his orders, they could only obey his orders. The people replied weakly, dragging their heavy and tired bodies down the wall to carry the Rolling Lumber And Stone.

After sending all the people away, Tang Yin looked to his left and right, only to see that the closest Peng Army was over ten meters away. Relieving, he quickly tore a piece of cloth from his clothes and placed it on the arrow stack, then picked up a rock from his feet and quickly wrote the words' Do not attack the North of City tomorrow ', then rolled up the cloth, and tied it to an arrow with a rope.

After doing all that, he looked around again. Seeing that the guards were still there, and he did not attract anyone's attention, and the people who were carrying the Rolling Lumber And Stone did not come up either, Tang Yin took out a torch from the city wall and held it in his hand. He swung his arm back and forth.

His actions, caused the Peng Army on both sides of the city to be hidden from the public, and they wouldn't be noticed intentionally, but outside the city, it was extremely obvious. In the darkness of the night, with a torch shaking so frequently on the city walls, it was hard to not notice.

After shaking the torch for a good while, Tang Yin heard the sound of footsteps coming from below and knew that the people who were carrying the Rolling Lumber And Stone had arrived. He anxiously put down the torch, grabbed the Longbow by the side, nocked his bow and nocked an arrow, aimed at the sky outside the city, and shot it out with all his might.

"Whiz!"

The arrow pierced through the wind and flew out of the city.

Tang Yin swung the torch around without attracting the attention of the Peng Army s, but he could hear the sounds of arrows being shot out. Almost at the same time, several Peng Army s from the left and right ran over, until they were standing in front of Tang Yin, looking at the Longbow in his hands. Was it you who shot the arrow? "

Tang Yin nodded his head in preparation, his expression serious as he said: "I just saw a shadow move below the city walls, and I shot an arrow!"

"Oh?" The surrounding soldiers all looked towards the outside of the city. It was pitch-black and they could not see anything. Not to mention the human shadow, there was not even a shadow of a ghost. After looking around for a while, he still couldn't figure out what was going on. One of the soldiers sneered and muttered, "Are you seeing things?"

"Ah …" This little one does not dare to be sure either, but General Li has said that no matter what, I will not let anything go, so … "

Without waiting for him to finish, the surrounding soldiers impatiently waved their hands and said, "Come on, come on, don't waste your breath. Remember, when you see it clearly in the future, release the arrows. Don't scare people with no reason!"

"Yes sir!" Tang Yin nodded his head.

At this time, the people who were carrying the Rolling Lumber And Stone came up, they were tired and sweating, gasping for breath. Seeing this, none of the surrounding soldiers stepped forward to help, they immediately went back to their posts and hid far away. After they left, Tang Yin rolled his eyes, lowered his voice, and said to the citizens who were carrying the heavy items: "Everyone, be tired, sit down and rest! It's not that I'm going to make things difficult for you all, but as you have all seen, what the soldiers were supposed to do has now fallen on our heads. Fighting during the day and working at night, this is because they don't want us to live anymore! "

Tang Yin's words made everyone feel the same way. They all sat down on the ground and wiped the sweat off their faces and sighed, looking anxious.

He looked around at the crowd, and Tang Yin continued: "If this continues, even if we are not killed by Tianyuan Army, we will be worn out to death!"

"Sigh!" There was no other way! We can't run, we can't fight, what can we do? "

Tang Yin seemed to be filled with righteous indignation as he said: "If it's no good, we'll go back, surrender to Tianyuan Army!"

"Huh?"

When he said this, the surrounding citizens were shocked. They hurriedly stood up, walked up to Tang Yin and covered his mouth, then looked around nervously. Only after seeing that the surrounding Peng Army did not hear anything, did they heave a sigh of relief.

"Tang Chu, are you crazy? If these words were to be heard by the soldiers, not only would you want to kill them, you would also implicate the nine clans! "

"Since we can't live anymore, rather than being bullied to death by Geng Qiang's lackeys, why not go to the Tianyuan Army? There might be a way out!" Tang Yin squinted his eyes and looked at the people around him.

The citizens lowered their heads thoughtfully. They were silent. After a long while, someone muttered in a low voice: "We are only twenty over people, how can we surrender to Tianyuan Army? Before we can leave the city, we will have to be killed by the soldiers! "

Tang Yin laughed, and said faintly: "There will always be chances, now we cannot reveal it!"

The people looked at Tang Yin in confusion. They felt that he was different from them, but they couldn't tell what the difference was between them.

On the other side, Tang Yin's Shadow Clone lived in Yu Jun's home, while Yu Jun sent his Domestic Servant to the west of the city to invite Du Qing to take a seat in his house.

If it was any other person, Du Qing would definitely not accept the invitation at this time. After all, the current situation was very tense, and he was the guard of the Western City, so how would he be able to escape, but seeing that it was Yu Jun's Domestic Servant that had come to invite him, Du Qing did not think much of it.

Along the way, Du Qing was also curious about the reason why Yu Jun was suddenly looking for him. He asked Domestic Servant, but Domestic Servant was also unsure of it, so Du Qing did not ask further.

When he arrived at the Yu Residence and saw Yu Jun, Du Qing quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Mister, you suddenly called for me. What's the matter?" He was a boorish man. He spoke in a straightforward manner and did not beat around the bush.

Yu Jun smiled at him and waved his hand, then smiled: "General Du, please sit!"

"Aiya, I don't have time to sit!" Du Qing shook his head and said: "The situation is tense now, I can't leave the Western City for even a moment!" Although he said that, he still sat down, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank all the tea without even looking at it. He then wiped his mouth, and smiled at the servant beside him: "Brother, give me another cup of tea!"

Yu Jun had already gotten used to this kind of disrespectful behavior. After the servant served him more tea, he waved his hand and sent the servants away, then asked with a serious expression: "General Du, how is the situation with the Western City?"

Du Qing shook his head and said: "Nothing! Tianyuan Army's attacks will continue for a day, and our army will suffer greater casualties. The more we fight, the fewer people there are, and if this goes on, I can tell that in less than three days, we will be in a precarious situation! "

"Oh!" Yu Jun responded lightly, then asked curiously: "I heard that Master has been recruiting people for the army these past few days, so our army should have enough people!"

"Sigh, don't mention it anymore!" Du Qing said: At the beginning, Master truly sent over a lot of people, but in the past two days, he did not send many people. Furthermore, all of those people were found here on a temporary basis, how would they fight, our army does not have much defensive equipment or weapons, and we do not have enough for everyone to send over, during the battle, the casualties will be too great! After pausing for a moment, he continued, "If Sir had listened to Sir's words back then and was willing to surrender, we wouldn't have fallen into such a dangerous situation. But now that we have engaged with Tianyuan Army, we have no choice but to shoot.

"In the end, only death awaits us!" From Du Qing's words, Yu Jun had already understood what he was thinking, and no longer hid anything, he directly said: "Forcing the citizens to annex the army is the stupidest, most unfar-sighted of actions, not only can it not solve the problem, it will also implicate countless of citizens to die, Master Du is bringing about his own destruction, General Du does not want to be trapped with Master!"

Hearing this, Du Qing's body trembled, he anxiously raised his head and looked at Yu Jun in shock, and muttered: "Mister, you mean to say …"

Surrender to the Tianyuan Army!" Yu Jun spoke with a serious expression, "General Du is not planning to fight against the Tianyuan army. Without a doubt, he is trying to dig his own grave!

Although Du Qing had a good relationship with Yu Jun and was following his lead, he was still shocked by his words. The hand holding the teacup trembled, and the cup in his hand almost fell to the ground. He stammered, "Vow …" Surrender? Surrender to the Tianyuan Army? "

"Yes!" If you continue to follow Master, you will never be able to get back. Only by surrendering your Tianyuan Army can you have a chance of survival! "

Du Qing waved his hand. He did not like Geng Qiang and did not think much of him, but he had not changed his mind yet. He was stunned for a moment, his head shook like a rattle, and said: "No! Absolutely not! I... "How can I do something like selling my master for honor?"

Yu Jun said in a serious tone: "This is not for the buyer to seek honor, but to renounce the dark and bring the light! Besides, even if you don't think for yourself, don't you think for your family? Once your Tianyuan Army attacks the city in the future, as Geng Qiang's loyal and devoted person, his Tianyuan Army will naturally not let you off, and your family as well! "

"This …" That was the truth, and it also made Du Qing's noble attitude that he had just brought up quickly leak out.

That's right! It was just a matter of time before the Tianyuan Army entered the city, so he himself didn't care. At most, he would just die on the battlefield, and lose his life as a martyr, but what about his family? Could Tianyuan Army let them go?

Tang Yin was not a merciful and lenient person. Back then, how many soldiers and clans were annihilated when Tianyuan Army attacked? Thinking of this, Du Qing unwittingly shivered. He lowered his head and remained silent.

Yu Jun also didn't speak at this time, giving him time to carefully consider and weigh the pros and cons.

After thinking for a long time, Du Qing raised his head, cupped his hands, and said: "Thank you for your advice, Sir! But, even if I had the heart to surrender to Tianyuan Army, I still wouldn't have any means to do so, let alone being unable to come into contact with it, even if Tianyuan Army were to come into contact with me, they might not necessarily believe me! "

Just then, someone behind the screen suddenly spoke out, "General Du Qing do not worry, I trust you!"
