Zixuan accompanied Mo Hongfan and others to drink for a while. At this time, someone came in outside. It seemed to be a runner-up from the state yamen. "Sir, the people in the mansion just came to report that it was the magistrate of Longzhou who sent someone to see him if there is an urgent matter."

Zixuan stood up and bowed to Mo Hongfan, "General Mo, it's really a coincidence. He originally wanted to drink more with everyone. If there is something wrong with the state yamen, Lin had to go back first. Lin will come again tomorrow and will definitely drink with you." As he said that, Zixuan walked out.

There was a man in the big tent with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was extremely heroic. When he saw Zixuan leaving, he was about to get up to stop him. It was another person next to him who reached out to block the man.

Mo Hongfan looked back at the person behind, and the man nodded at him. Mo Hongfan quickly smiled, "Since Lord Lin has business to do, then Mo will not force him to stay. When we have the chance in the future, we must drink together and not be drunk and have no return."

"Sure, certain." Zixuan quickly agreed, and then took the people from the state yamen out of the big tent. When he came outside, he saw that all the people he brought were gathered together, so he waved his hand and took the people out of the camp and walked into the city.

The group of people was very fast and entered the city soon after. "Close the city gate immediately. Without the official's order, no one would open the city gate." Zixuan ordered directly.

When the guardian heard this, he quickly replied, "Yes, don't worry, if you don't have the order from the adult, you're even a bird? Don't even think about coming in." This is not a bragging, Zixuan's order? In this Xizhou City, it's easier to use than an imperial edict.

Zixuan and his party quickly returned to the prefecture yamen. As soon as they entered the conference hall behind the prefecture yamen, Zixuan asked, "Madam? Have you discovered anything?" They had an agreement at that time? If there was any discovery, they said that the prefect sent someone to come.

Jinghan nodded, "Well, I'm a little surprised. Those people are not soldiers from our Daqi. They don't know how to use chopsticks. Although in front of the two armies, ordinary people rarely have the chance to use chopsticks. However, human instincts will not change. I brought a lot of chopsticks over today, but none of them use them." Jinghan said, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes were cold.

"And? I accidentally heard those people talking, not what we said here? It was the language of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. These people? Maybe they were soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty? Mo Hongfan actually surrendered to the enemy and treason. It's really damn." Jinghan couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

"I also caught a few people back. Do you have a first trial of them? See if you can ask what you can ask."

As soon as Jinghan said this, Zixuan was stunned on the spot, "What? I caught someone and came back? How did you catch them? In someone's military camp?" This guy? Isn't it too incredible?

Jinghan smiled proudly, "The medicine I asked for from my aunt is something that will make people lose their minds when smelling it. Just now, those people went to grab food, so I took advantage of the opportunity to deliver wine and food to those who were standing guard to the guards and fascinated them. Then they asked them to obey my orders and come back with me." Qian was born in the palace and had never seen anything? In the palace, there were the most dirty things, and there were many things that outsiders didn't know.

Zixuan was speechless. Qian's medicine, coupled with Jinghan's ghostly eyes, is afraid that most people will be conscious of it. "Okay, then bring it to ask."

At this time, someone pushed four people in. These four people were all wearing the clothes of soldiers of the Great Qi Dynasty, which were basically the same as those brought to the camp by Zixuan. No wonder no one cared about it. What's more, they were all busy grabbing delicious food at that time. Who would pay attention to these things?

The four people stood there, their eyes were straight and they had no focal length, and they were losing their minds at first glance.

"Who are you and where did you come from?" Zixuan asked.

These people spoke, but they spoke the language of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, not the language of the Daqi Dynasty. This time, their identity was directly exposed. There were naturally people who were proficient in the Northern Yuan language in the government office, so they listened and explained to Zixuan and the others.

"They are the guards of the Prince of Northern Yuan Dynasty, Zigg. This time, the Great Qi fired the Wild Wolf Valley. They were secretly released by Mo Hongfan and then walked around the back of the army. They wanted to capture Xizhou before the army was in charge, and then wait for the army to come back to take the opportunity to deal with our Great Qi army. This time, a total of 80,000 people escaped, and there were still 30,000, but they were ambushed. At that time, they attacked each other and caught us off guard." The yamen runner said, his face changed drastically.

After hearing this, Jinghan and Zixuan fully understood. These soldiers were all from the Northern Yuan Kingdom, and perhaps there were very few people in it, who were Mo Hongfan's subordinates. I just don't know when Mo Hongfan defected to the Northern Yuan Dynasty?

Zixuan's face was also very bad. He turned around and went to the study room, wrote two letters, and then came out to hand them over to the people of the state yamen. "Send these two letters out of the city, one to the army of Daqi, and let them return to help quickly. The other letter was sent to the capital. Mo Hongfan's father Zhenbeihou had more than 100,000 troops in his hand. If he rebelled, the emperor would be in danger." Zixuan's reaction was very fast and he suddenly thought of the capital.

Several people were divided into two groups and quickly left the city to report the news. The North City Gate naturally could not leave, so they walked to the East City Gate. But before they could wait to let the city gate open, they heard someone on the city gate say, "Hurry up, someone attacks. Shooting arrows into the water."

When I heard this, I naturally knew that I could not get out for the time being, so someone turned around immediately and reported to me from the yamen.

When Zixuan heard that someone had attacked the city, and it was Dongcheng, he immediately ordered that the city gates were strictly guarded. Not only outside, but also inside the city, no one was allowed to approach. "Madam, I'm afraid that people outside the city will know something, and attack the city in advance. Let's go and accompany me to the city wall to see. This time, we may have to defend the city again."

Jinghan accompanied Zixuan and led the people from the yamen to the North City Gate. Sure enough, someone was also found sneak attacking at the North City Gate.

"Sir, there is movement in the water. The bells rang just now." The guardian of the city quickly came up to report when he saw Zixuan.

"Okay, you have done a good job and you must always be on guard. The 50,000 people outside the city were not soldiers from our Great Qi, but the Tartars from the Northern Yuan Dynasty. They wanted to attack the city secretly, but they didn't expect that we had set up a mechanism under the water." Zixuan nodded, very satisfied with these city guards so cautiously.

There are many mechanisms under the water surface of this moat. After digging the moat, Zixuan brought people to set up iron railings inside. These iron railings circled around Xizhou City for a whole circle along the moat. Every distance, one of these railings will emerge from the water surface, and then thick iron wire is blocked on it, and bells are tied to the wire. As long as someone tries to pass through the iron railing, they will definitely touch the bells on it and make a sound.

Moreover, the riverbed near the iron railings are covered with various spikes. If you want to cross the iron railings, you must step on the ground to exert your strength. In this way, you will inevitably be injured by the spikes. Even if someone can break the iron railings and successfully pass through them, there will be crossbows buried in the ground on the opposite side. Once touched, thousands of arrows will be fired at once.

Zixuan and Jinghan discussed these mechanisms countless times and experimented many times, which was indeed very useful. Now these people want to attack, and this moat alone is enough for them to pass.

The people of Xizhou all know that this moat cannot be entered. But no one knows what is underneath. All the people will warn their children that they must not be placed in the water. Besides, there will be people patrolling along the moat during the day to prevent children from entering the water accidentally. Therefore, in recent years, no people have been injured by the underwater organs.

At this time, outside Xizhou City, Mo Hongfan shouted in a panic, "Why is Lin Zixuan so damaged? Even a moat can produce so many tricks."

It turned out that after Zixuan and others left, the people in the tent had a dispute. The person who wanted to stop Zixuan blamed Mo Hongfan for not letting Zixuan go. If Zixuan was detained, then Xizhou City would be at your fingertips. But Mo Hongfan said that since Lin Zixuan could govern Xizhou so strictly, he would definitely not let the entire prefecture be destroyed without attacking just because of a prefect.

The man behind, the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, spoke, agreed to Mo Hongfan's words, and stopped the quarrel in the tent. Someone outside came to report that four patrol soldiers had disappeared. Mo Hongfan immediately realized that something was wrong, so he led his troops out of the camp, wanting someone to secretly swim across the moat and find a way to attack the city.

But they did not expect that this moat was a trap that cannibalize people. Before the soldiers could reach the center, they were discovered by the people on the opposite city wall. Under a rain of arrows, no one survived. Now, Mo Hongfan was so angry that he smoked.

"Hmph, you Daqi people keep saying that they are gentlemen, are they such gentlemen? I think they are worse than us, at least we won't design such vicious things to come out." Someone next to him said sarcastically.

Zigg also regretted letting Zixuan go, so he decided to attack the city immediately. This time they had 50,000 people, and I think there were not many guards in the city, so it would be better to attack. "Mr. Mo, your confidant is in the city. If we launch an attack, can they open the city gate and let us in?" Zigg asked.

Mo Hongfan nodded, "It should be OK. These people were arranged by me after I came here in the first month. There were quite a few people, so it should be similar. Yesterday I had already sent someone to deliver the letter. They knew I was outside the city."
