Qin Yining did not immediately express his position, but frowned slightly and looked at the county magistrate, his eyes full of inquiry.
Liang Xiancheng looked at Qin Yining without flinching. She was convinced that she was right and had no guilt at all. He was sure that he was looking for a way out for his brothers, and he was even willing to offend such a powerful person as Princess Zhongshun in order to make a fortune for them. .
How could Qin Yining not be able to guess what he was thinking
"Shut up!" Lu Weigui got up angrily at this time and said angrily, "Liang Qiuping! What do you mean by that! Do you want to join the enemy?"
"Am I right? My lord, you don't care about the life and death of your brothers. You can tell the big guy to open the way for you at a critical time. How can you find a way to survive! But so many brothers, are it all because of the adults? Is it foolish to die?"
Although the words were addressed to Lu Weigui, Liang Xiancheng's eyes were always swept over Wang Qin Yining's body, obviously referring to Sang and scolding Huai, implying that Qin Yining would not care about the rest of the people if he had a way out.
Lu Weigui was furious and roared, "Why does this official mean to disregard everyone's safety! If there is, why not break through as soon as possible, we have to wait until this meeting!"
"Since you don't think so, why don't you think more about your subordinates?"
"Because we have to think about it, we are discussing this matter here, and this official has not made a decision by himself! But what are you talking about? surrender to the Tartars, and then be the knives of the Tartars to kill the Dazhou people?"
"Otherwise, what else can we do! All of you nobles have a way out, and those of us deserve to die!"
…
Lu Weigui and Liang Xiancheng were blushing and their necks were thick.
Lu Weigui wanted everyone to live, but he would never surrender to Tatar to deal with Lu Heng. Even if Lu Heng is conspiring against him, he is still from the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But Liang Xiancheng was willing to betray Da Zhou in order to survive.
Qin Yining didn't want to judge who was right and who was wrong, but said, "Both of you listen to me first."
The two of them stared at each other as if they were fighting cocks, before looking at Qin Yining angrily for a long time.
Qin Yining said, "What is the situation outside the city now, none of us know. Did the Tartar really come over? Did Duke Ding really have no power to fight the Tartar, or did Lu Heng's Whether people can defend the city, we don't know now, it would be too hasty to make a decision just by listening to people say a few words outside."
Lu Weigui took a deep breath and said in agreement: "The princess said yes." Then he gave Liang Xiancheng a contemptuous look, "Before the dust settles and the city is captured, Liang Xiancheng has already thought about surrendering to the enemy. , is it too early?"
"You!" Liang Qiuping was very angry, but he couldn't find anything to refute at once.
Qin Yining saw that the two of them had a tendency to quarrel again, and frowned: "I haven't figured out the matter yet, and before I can think of a way, the two of you will fight infighting. Aren't you afraid that people will laugh at you? Did you make a decision? too early?"
Lu Weigui was stunned for a moment, and then his face became embarrassed as he gradually understood.
Liang Xiancheng did not think like Lu Weigui, but his heart was still full of anger, and he said mockingly: "Princess is really standing and talking without back pain. Your status is precious, even if the city is broken, you will be able to find it then. Desperately protecting the people you left, what about brothers! No matter how chaotic the court is and the more tartars enter, what does it have to do with us! It’s not us who are usually fragrant and spicy, wearing gold and silver, but when something happens, we are sent to die!”
I have to say that Liang Qiuping is very good at inciting emotions. When arguing, some of the officers who accompanied him already felt the same way. At this time, a few words mobilized the emotions of the officers. Regardless of whether the court's treatment is generous or not, people have the characteristics of greed. If they give a little, they want more. They will only think that what Liang Xiancheng said is reasonable, and it hits their hearts.
The crowd was relatively quiet at first, but when they heard what Liang Xiancheng said, they all became more and more emotional.
It's really a terrible feeling to be facing death when the soldiers are under the city. This kind of knife hanging over the head is a feeling of reaching the end of the road. It is not something that people like them who are usually better than ordinary people can understand.
Qin Yining was not angry after being robbed.
Under the pressure of fear, the human heart is inherently sensitive and impetuous. Even if she said more at this time, it would not have any effect, but it would make people more firm in their thoughts.
Qin Yining said calmly: "I won't let people die in vain. Now that we are surrounded, we can't know the real situation outside, and it's not easy to know what their plans are. If you have doubts in your heart, It is also inconvenient to make a decision immediately, you can wait and see for a while before making a decision.”
Having said this, Qin Yining smiled sarcastically: "You are not the ones I brought, and I have no qualifications to order you. If you feel that there is no way out for you to follow me, you can do whatever you want. But there's one thing I want to make clear first."
Qin Yining looked around for a week and saw that everyone's attention was on him, and then he said: "The Tartars are not of our race. They have spared the border for many years. They have committed crimes against border residents by burning, killing, and looting. They threw grain and grass, and they hurt our people. If such a jackal has the heart to flee, I will never forgive him lightly."
The men were silent for a while.
Some people are reflecting, and some people are not convinced.
"Prince Concubine said it easily. You are of noble birth, and you are rich and well-dressed, so how can you understand the suffering of the people below? Duke Dingguo is a sworn brother of Prince Zhongshun, and he will definitely come to rescue you at the critical moment," Liang Xiancheng said mockingly, "You If you have a way out, you don’t care about the lives of your brothers? When you run away, how can you let us people live? If we don’t go to the Tartars, are we willing to die?”
Qin Yining simply doesn't know why there is such a person, who can say that he can betray the country by collaborating with the enemy.
Qin Yining became more and more lazy to convince the other party, because the dog only pays attention to the bones in front of him, and the pig only looks at the thing in the trough, and they can't understand what is not human.
Qin Yining waved his hand and said, "You can do it yourself." After speaking, he turned into the back room.
Jing Zhe, Ji Yun and the others immediately returned to their original positions. After all, this is the government office and Lu Weigui's territory.
Lu Weigui only hated Liang Xiancheng's statement, and after he went out, he strode to the study.
Liang Xiancheng talked with the master in a low voice for a few words, and then he turned to greet the brothers to go back to guard.
Inside the house, Qin Yining told Jing Zhe in a low voice, "You should pay attention to the arrangement of manpower and secretly protect the safety of Lu Zhixian. At such a critical juncture, many people will do anything to survive."
Jing Zhe nodded and whispered, "Do you suspect that they will attack Lu Zhi County?"
"Maybe they won't kill Lu Zhixian, but they will use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Tatars. In fact, their best bargaining chip is not Lu Zhixian, but me."
Ji Yun remembered Qin Yining's energy when he was in Tartar, and the hairs on his back stood up.
"Princess, don't talk nonsense, you will never encounter those things again. We will do our best to protect you and never let you fall into the hands of the Tartars."
Seeing that Ji Yun was so nervous, Qin Yining couldn't help but patted her hand and said with a smile, "I know, so while protecting Lu Weigui, you should also think about protecting me."
Jing Zhe said solemnly: "Don't worry, Princess, even if you risk your life, I will protect you thoroughly."
Qin Yining waved his hand, "Where do you want you to do this? Besides, from now on, if there is no chance to break out, I will not go out, and it is convenient for you to protect."
Jing Zhe responded with a smile. Seeing that Qin Yining was still able to talk and laugh freely even when he was so nervous, he couldn't help but admire him. Even his nervousness was relieved a lot.
"Princess, do you think Duke Ding can win?" Jing Zhe asked.
Qin Yining said: "There is no doubt about Duke Ding's talent. If it is a little rough, he must have been surprised by the other party. But as long as he takes a sigh of relief and gives Duke Ding time to adjust, he will definitely be able to hold this place. Not to be invaded by the Tartars."
It is ridiculous to say that the people who attacked Huichuan County just outside the city just a moment ago are now facing the Tartars in turn.
Where did the Tatars come from? Is it a disguise to enter the big week, or is it directly advancing to achieve the goal? Or, is someone answering
Qin Yining's face became more and more serious when he thought of this.
If there is a real ghost, Ji Zeyu's actions will be difficult.
I don't know if Pang Xiao's injury is better now? If he hadn't been injured, he would have picked her up directly at this time.
Qin Yining was thinking wildly, and before he knew it, an hour passed.
During this period, everyone was listening carefully to what Lu Heng's subordinates said outside the wall. They found that it was not only themselves who were worried, but the people under Lu Heng were also worried about the Tartar invasion.
In the evening, the conversation outside changed again. Qin Yining
"Ding Guogong may also be at the end of the game. He lost to his former opponent like this, didn't he feel embarrassed?"
"If Duke Ding comes with the Longxiang army, he will definitely be able to beat the crying father and mother of the Tartars!"
"But now that we've been abandoned here like this, we're about to cry."
"I don't know what it looks like outside the city now." Qin Yining frowned.
Ji Yun shook his head, just as he was about to speak, the deep voice of Dahan who was on duty suddenly came from outside the door: "Who are you! This is the Huichuan County Yamen, how can it be a place where you can enter and exit!"
The voice was simple, but Dahan was shocked and said, "You are here! Come in."
The difference in attitude later made Qin Yining feel puzzled.
Ji Yun went to lift the door curtain, and saw a tall and thin figure walking into the door. He was holding a disguise mask as thin as a cicada's wings in his hand, with delicate features, it was Mu Jinghu! I wanted to come and I was questioned in front of the door just now, and I also saw that because Mu Jinghu took off the disguise, he calmed down and changed his attitude sharply.
Qin Yining said in surprise: "Why are you back? Why don't you stay at home with Boss Qiu and Brother Yan?"
