Someone on the side tentatively said: "Why don't we just open the city gate and let them leave?"
When Wen Ye heard it, he immediately said in a deep voice, "No way!"
The person next to him frowned.
In fact, when they said these words, they seemed to be speaking for the people, but they were actually asking for themselves. After all, this time the situation was special. It is almost only a matter of time before the city of Crane City breaks down.
The rebels issued a warning that the city would be massacred on the day the city was broken.
They are also afraid of death.
If Wen Ye is willing to open the city gate, can they also take the opportunity to escape, so that they can still save their lives
Who knows, Wen Ye refused without hesitation.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while.
And Wen Ye's face was gloomy, he just glanced at them, didn't say anything, and looked outside the tower, under the faint morning light exposed on the zenith, he could barely make out a silhouette in front of him.
However, after fighting for so many years, he can judge even a faint outline.
In the dark night ahead, an unknown number of soldiers were lurking.
As soon as they open the city gate, these rebels will swarm in. By then, will these people still be alive
And those ordinary people, needless to say, will only become a stepping stone for them to step into Crane City, who cares about their life and death
Thinking of this, Wen Ye's face darkened even more.
He turned his head and said to the people around him: "Don't think that you can have a chance if you abandon the city and surrender. King Ning is now rebelling against the court, and it is his own brother who rebelled. A person who doesn't even care about his own brothers and feet Can you stay here? Stop dreaming!"
"..."
Everyone was speechless for a while.
After finishing these words with a livid face, Wen Ye glanced down again.
The mood of the common people has become more and more anxious, and the voices of arguing with the guarding soldiers are getting louder and louder, and some people are even rushing forward desperately in the back.
Seeing the crowd rushing forward wave after wave, it was like waves hitting boulders.
At this moment, it can still be prevented.
But how long can it last
Wen Ye's face darkened, and he called the lieutenant beside him, whispered a few words to him, the lieutenant nodded, immediately got off the tower, got on his horse, and quickly headed towards the Jinlou Garden.
Seeing his figure disappear in front of him, Wen Ye couldn't help clenching his fists, and turned his head to look outside the tower.
The sky is gradually getting brighter.
At this time, there was a commotion under the city gate from the side inside the city gate.
Wen Ye hurried over and leaned on the wall to look down. It was a young man in the crowd. He was a little angry because he had been guarding the city all night. Do you want us to die here?"
The soldiers guarding the city didn't close their eyes all night, and they were also angry: "Stop fucking nonsense, step aside!"
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and pushed him.
The young man staggered, stood up immediately, and said angrily: "You people, you can't win battles, you can only bully us people. We are not your captive mules, why don't you let us go out of the city?"
The soldier drew out his knife with a swipe: "Looking for death?"
When everyone saw him drawing his sword, their timid mood turned into anger at this moment.
Someone in the crowd shouted: "If you use a knife on us, then we will do the same!"

The deputy general rode to the Jinlou Bieyuan quickly.
In Liuhe hall.
A huge map was spread out on the table where antiques were originally placed. Zhu Feng looked at Beiping, Crane City, and Changqing City above with serious eyes.
And the lieutenant sent by Wen Ye was kneeling in front of the table and reporting the situation on the other side of the tower.
"emperor,"
He lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Master Wen asked the last general to come back and report to the emperor. The current people are so passionate that it is really difficult to control. From now on, even if the rebels don't attack the city, they will riot in the city."
"..."
"We don't have many people guarding the city, I'm afraid there will be a big mess."
Zhu Feng withdrew his gaze from the map and slowly raised his head.
He said, "Wen Ye means that he can't stay there for too long?"
"he-"
Before he finished speaking, there was another rush of footsteps outside.
Looking up, a servant hurried over, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there is a commotion at the city gate."
"What?"
"The common people clamored to leave the city, but the guards refused to open the city gate, so they started fighting."
"..."
"Right now, a lot of people have been hurt."
When the deputy general heard this, his face turned pale. He didn't expect such a thing to happen to his back foot as soon as he walked on his front foot.
Zhu Feng said, "Then, are you under control?"
The attendant said: "Master Wen sent someone back to report that the situation has been brought under control, but the soldiers and people defending the city have injured many people, and everyone's mood is even worse. I'm afraid that if the stalemate continues, there will be a big mess gone."
Hearing this, the lieutenant general felt even heavier.
"Your Majesty, please make a decision early!"
"..."
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, and said, "You go down first."
The deputy general looked at him with helpless and desperate eyes, but Zhu Feng remained calm and said, "Go down."
"… yes."
He could only get up, and retreated dejectedly.
However, as soon as he went out, he saw a slender figure standing at the door, holding a cup of tea in his hand. The officer was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly lowered his head to salute: "Imperial concubine."
Nan Yan was standing at the door just now, and had already heard what they said.
At this time, he only nodded to him, then turned and walked in.
Zhu Feng was still standing in front of the table, staring at the map on the table with burning eyes, as if a hole would be burned in the map, and the anger rose faintly in his heart.
At this time, a very soft voice came from the ear——
"emperor."
As soon as she looked up, she saw Nan Yan standing in front of her holding a cup of tea.
Zhu Feng's eyes flickered for a moment.
When she left her side before, she was still talking about where she was, but that kind of charming atmosphere couldn't continue in the current situation after all.
Zhu Feng coughed lightly before speaking, his voice was a little strangely hoarse.
"How did you come."
For some reason, upon hearing his hoarse voice, some images of last night also appeared in Nan Yan's mind.
She couldn't help but blushed a little, but still stepped forward with her head down: "The concubine came to bring tea to the emperor. Xiao Shunzi and the others said that the emperor didn't sleep, drink water, or eat last night."
"I, it's too late."
"No matter how urgent you are, you have to eat and drink enough before you can figure out a way."
Her soft voice is irresistible.
Zhu Feng sighed, took the teacup from her hand, and took a sip.
A smile appeared on Nan Yan's face immediately.
She walked to his side, looked at the map on the table, felt a slight movement in her heart, and said softly: "Your Majesty, how do you plan to solve this matter?"
