"Why did you come to see me?"

He Wei still looked weak. It could be seen that the deaths of the twelve brothers had dealt a heavy blow to him.

Gu Qingfeng sighed and did not blame He Wei's attitude.

In fact, it is already very difficult for the other party to be able to stick to the city lord's palace without throwing away his sleeves. How much more can be demanded of him?

"That's right."

Gu Qingfeng paused for a moment and said solemnly: "I have received news here that Master Chen has led an army to the vicinity and is currently sending manpower to clean up the scouts."

He Wei nodded.

He knew this.

Gu Qingfeng had said when he arrived that Chen Ze's troops would arrive soon, and when Chen Ze arrived at Tianhong City, it would be the beginning of their cooperation against Huang Ren.

But now he can even see Chen Ze's people, and he has killed thirteen brothers including Feng Lei, which makes him more or less resentful towards Chen Ze.

Although he knew that Chen Ze was not to blame, he always held back this feeling in his heart.

So he said coldly: "Why, Chen Ze is coming soon. Do I have to send people to line up to welcome him?"

Gu Qingfeng looked at him steadily, shook his head and said: "Brother He, at this point, let's talk properly."

How could he not hear that He Wei was talking angrily, but now was really not the time for He Wei to show his temper.

"Say it."

He Wei waved his hand, but he only rebelled for a moment, and then said: "What does Chen Ze want from me?"

"help."

Gu Qingfeng said directly: "The scouts outside the city are too scattered. We have to find a way to gather them together. Only in that way can we easily catch them all!"

"How to gather?"

He Wei said inexplicably: "Those people are not under my control, and they will not obey my orders."

Gu Qingfeng smiled and said, "It's not difficult at all. Now Meng Yang and the others are clearing out the sporadic scouts on the outermost edge. And as you know, Brother He, that guy Huang Ren has arranged more scouts the closer they get to Tianhong City."

"After they clean up the surrounding areas, we will also cooperate and take action to attract all the scouts to the city, so that they can be wiped out in one fell swoop!"

He Wei thought for a moment and said, "That's true, but you still didn't say, how do we gather them together?"

"Out of town."

Gu Qingfeng said directly: "As long as we let them feel that we intend to lead the army to leave, will they still dare to just hide in the dark and observe silently?"

"You know, Xiao Feng has been out before? He has told the scouts about our presence in Tianhong City. Oh, by the way...Xiao Feng..."

After a moment of silence? Gu Qingfeng still sighed: "Xiao Feng was discovered and killed by our people on his way to find Huang Ren following Scout Bai Lie."

This time He Wei was silent.

Although he had expected it, when he heard about the death of a brother again, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

Gu Qingfeng didn't make him sad for too long? He continued: "Well, Huang Ren actually doesn't know our arrangements now, but the scouts under the city can guess a little bit."

"So at this time, we act like we are leaving Tianhong City? What will the scouts outside think?"

"They must think that we have reached an agreement? And leaving the city now? They just want to take advantage of Huang Ren's opportunity to get out of his control quickly!"

He Wei stared blankly at Gu Qingfeng talking eloquently. He seemed to see a trace of Yan Xukai in the other person.

But Yan Xukai is their military advisor, but what about Gu Qingfeng?

Gu Qingfeng...when did he become so eloquent?

"you mean……"

He frowned slightly? Yan Xukai was not here at the moment, so he had to make his own decision on everything.

He Wei is just upright but not stupid. When Gu Qingfeng said this, he understood immediately.

Although the people outside the city are all scouts, and their number is actually only about the same as them, it is absolutely impossible to retain themselves and others based on their words alone.

With the elite strength of Xuanjia, it is not difficult to defeat seven or eight of them at one time.

But why don’t you fight if you know you can’t win?

If they dare to let the Xuanjia elites leave without stopping them, what awaits them will be Huang Ren's furious execution!

So even if you know you're defeated, you still have to stop.

Even He Wei could think of their next actions.

On the one hand, the scouts had to send people out to find Huang Ren as quickly as possible to support him. On the other hand, they would also gather all their hands together to prevent them from leaving Tianhong City.

In that situation, you can only block it as long as you can, and delay it for as long as you can, even if you know you will die.

It would be better if they died, but if they dare not try their best, their families may also be implicated!

This is the time when you have to fight.

Of course, the lives and deaths of these scouts are not within the scope of He Wei's consideration. As for whether they can be captured, there is no need to think about it. It is basically certain.

Before, they allowed the other party to deploy sentries outside Tianhong City, but there was no need to have a big conflict with Huang Ren at this time. If the other party wanted to monitor them, they could just let them monitor them.

What He Wei was thinking about at the moment was whether Chen Ze's idea would have any adverse consequences for themselves.

It seems...it's okay?

He thought for a while, and the current situation was actually very clear.

After agreeing to cooperate with Chen Ze, the Xuanjia elite were destined to side with the Qingyang Empire, so the conflict with Huang Ren was certain.

Even if he doesn't do what Gu Qingfeng says now, will Huang Ren let him go when he comes back?

Furthermore, if he refuses now, wouldn’t those thirteen brothers die in vain?

There is no room for swinging left or right.

Recalling what Yan Xukai said before going back to rest, He Wei could only sigh.

Yan Xukai has been exhausted these past few days, and when He Wei finally made a decision, Yan Xukai also knew that the help he could provide was minimal.

Because they are actually controlled by Chen Ze, it is useless for him to rack his brains now.

So it would be better to rest and recuperate first, and then fight Chen Ze in the decisive battle later.

It seems... there is no problem?

He Wei went through Gu Qingfeng's words over and over in his mind, and finally confirmed that there was no problem for them in this matter.

It was just a matter of being exposed early and exposed late, and it was still with the scouts who had already received the news.

Maybe we can get rid of all the scouts who know about it and leave them a way out?

Thinking like this, He Wei naturally would not tell the truth, but nodded and said: "Okay."
