At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "Rebellion means rebellion. Don't let such a court!"

At this moment, the sentiment is even more exciting.

The people in front shouted, and the people behind rushed. Seeing that these people were about to mingle with the soldiers guarding the city, Luo Qitong immediately said to the soldiers behind him, "Go!"

"Yes!"

A team of soldiers rushed up immediately, and together with the soldiers who defended the city, shouted at the enthusiastic people: "What are you doing? Are you going to rebel? Don't you want to fight against thieves?"

Some ordinary people were taken aback.

But there are some who don’t listen to their threats at all and just say loudly: “You just don’t want us people to live, so what should we care about?”

After speaking, these young and strong farmers picked up the sickles and hoes in their hands and confronted the officers and soldiers.

At this moment, a Buddha's name came from behind the crowd.

"Amitabha."

Everyone looked back subconsciously, and saw a group of monks standing at the gate of the city. Among them was a tall monk, who said to the people who were filled with indignation: "Everyone, stay calm."

People, look at me, I look at you.

The sound is a little bit quieter.

Ordinary people still have a little respect for the monks. Seeing them stand up, it is hard to say anything for a while.

And these monks walked to the gate of the city and said to the soldiers who defended the city: "Dear officials, these benefactors also have important things. It is not unreasonable to make trouble, why not make it convenient?"

The soldiers said irritably, "What is inconvenient? Is the court's order that you can ignore if it is convenient?"

The monk said: "If the court's decree is harmful to the people, how can the people be willing to comply?"

"The imperial court's decree has the imperial plan. It is not something you young people can understand. Don't talk nonsense and get out of here!"

"Amitabha."

Several monks glanced at each other, and could only turn around and back away: "Let's go and see elsewhere."

Although they left, the people refused to go.

One by one actually sat at the gate of the city.

The soldiers who defended the city said, "What are you doing sitting here? They are all gone, gone!"

The people said: "Why, don't you open the door, can't you wait for the door to open here?"

"Yes, we have no way to survive when we go back, so we might as well just wait here."

"If we don't open the door tomorrow, we will just fight out!"

The soldiers frowned, but they had no choice but to retreat to the gate of the city.

Luo Qi stood beside him, saw this scene, looked at the monks again, and asked, "Why are there so many monks in the city these past two days?"

The soldier on the side said: "I heard that there is a puja in the south. Many monks in the vicinity gathered in the capital and prepared to go south together. Unexpectedly, they could only stay here after the city gate was closed."

"Oh?"

Luo Qitong glanced at the backs of the monks again, and pondered for a while.

Turning his head and looking at the people sitting at the gate of the city, he said, "Go and say hello to the guards of the city. If these people stay here, things may happen at any time. They must be careful."

"Yes."

Luo Qitong led people up to the tower.

Outside the city, it looked quiet and desolate, but not as quiet as they had hoped.

There was a gust of wind, and the heat became more and more every day after the summer, as if there was hot lava in the distance, it burned them upset.

Luo Qi inspected it again and said, "You all, give me a bit of energy."

Everyone said: "Yes."

Just as Luo Qitong was about to go back to the turret and sit down for a while, the soldier behind him suddenly said, "My lord, look over there if there is any movement."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qitong hurriedly turned around and walked to the edge of the tower, holding the wall with one hand and looking into the distance.

Outside the city gate, the walls were already clear, and even the small bushes could not be seen.

Only the rolling mountains in the distance were the only obstacle in front of them.

At this moment, behind the mountain, there seemed to be a cloud of smoke.

Although it was very pale and far away, it was almost difficult to tell, but the soldiers next to him were scouts, and this still didn't bother him.

Luo Qitong frowned and looked for a while, and saw the smoke and dust over there.

Two nights ago, Jiang Shan’s men found a strange fire outside the city, which seemed to be lit at the foot of the mountain in the distance. In the past few days, the guards did not find it again. His men thought it was just those people. I read it wrong.

It seems that it may not be necessary.

So far away, if the smoke and dust rising up can still be seen by them, there is only one possibility, that is, there are not a few people who make this smoke and dust.

If it was the same as before, only one or two scouts came to investigate the situation in the city, then it is like this now—

I'm afraid there are a lot of people over the mountain.

The soldier next to him whispered: "My lord, do you want to send someone out to inquire?"

"..."

Luo Qitong thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "At this time, don't act rashly."

"..."

"As soon as the city gate is opened, what happens outside the city, the inside of the city is in chaos first."

The soldier said: "Inside the city? The city looks like this, I am afraid it is already in chaos."

"..."

Luo Qi also looked at the smoke and dust rising in the distance outside the city for a while, and then at the people inside the city gate who were sitting on the ground and refused to leave.

Muttered: "Something will happen."

The people on the side hadn't heard clearly yet, one of the soldiers said, "My lord, what did you say?"

Luo Qitong looked at the vast wasteland outside the city.

"Something will happen."

"...!"

The people around were shocked when they heard these three words.

I saw Luo Qitong say to them: "The order goes on. Tonight, every city gate will be deployed to strengthen guards, especially here."

"..."

"Tonight, I'm afraid something will happen."

The soldiers hurriedly said: "My lord, if every city gate sends additional manpower, I'm afraid we will not have enough manpower."

Luo Qi said: "You immediately take my words to Master Heyi, just say what I said, you want the court to send people over."

When the soldiers heard this, they looked at each other, and their eyes showed horror.

This was the first time that they heard General Mingwei say such a thing.

Hastily turned and went down the tower.

At this time, Tsurui was in the cabinet.

Although he had been excluded from the cabinet before, this time the emperor was assassinated and injured, and he was unconscious. The imperial concubine reactivated the former chief assistant of the cabinet. Originally, everyone was worried that Gu Tingqiu would have a fight with him.

Unexpectedly, Master Gu remained calm.

On the contrary, he worked with Heyi in a division of labor. Heyi specializes in dealing with emergencies that happened in the capital recently; while Gu Tingqiu took the ministers in the Wuying Hall to handle normal government affairs.

At this moment, He Yi just finished reading the dossier sent by Dali Temple.
