It's night.

City Lord’s Mansion, Study Room.

Pei Qian, who had completed the mission, came back to report and saw Ye Xuan drinking tea leisurely. His calm look was as if everything was in control, which made him secretly amazed.

After sending the batch of grain to Shili Pavilion in the west of the city to hand over, Pei Qian then understood the city lord's other plan, but he was full of doubts.

"Secretary Pei, your tea." Zhao Lian'er brought a cup of tea ceremony to Pei Qian.

"Thank you, Miss Lian'er." Pei Qian knew about Zhao Lian'er's situation. He was both the maid of the city lord and the sister of the city lord's favorite general. He didn't dare to act as an air.

"Pei Qian, are everything ready?" Ye Xuan put down the tea cup and was about to add water by himself. When Zhao Lianer next to him saw it, he immediately took the lead and made tea with great sight.

In order to keep a clear head, Ye Xuan, who doesn't drink much tea on weekdays, has drunk a lot now. According to his estimate, something big might happen tonight.

"Everything is ready, Zhao Yun personally leads the troops. He also asks his subordinates to promise you that if the mountain tribe really dares to come, they will definitely not return."

Pei Qian had already seen at Shili Pavilion in the west of the city and saw at least half of the Niutou Mountain Camp's troops. Not only that, he also set up many traps and waited for the enemy to drill into it.

"This Zhao Yun..." Ye Xuan sighed softly, glanced at Zhao Lian'er, turned around and said to Pei Qian.

"The main purpose this time is not to kill the enemy, but to the next plan. It is best to capture the opponent alive, and even if it cannot, try to reduce casualties to the lowest level. Fortunately, the city lord has issued an order, otherwise Zhao Yun would have thought it was to fight annihilate the enemy!"

"Don't worry, my brother will definitely obey the orders and will never make decisions without authorization. Oh, I have to go down and see how the midnight snack is ready." Zhao Lian'er's eyes flashed and she said softly.

What a smart girl!

"Go!" Ye Xuan nodded.

It’s right that Zhao Yun is very strong, but he is prone to being excited. If you are not careful and disrupt your overall plan, it would be bad. At present, the only sister Zhao Lianer can keep Zhao Yun calm.

Zhao Lian'er bowed to Ye Xuan, slowly retreated from the study room, and then ran away like a rushing run. After a while, a carrier pigeon flew up from the city lord's mansion and headed towards the west of the city.

"The city lord is so sure that the mountain tribe will come to snatch food?"

Pei Qian also knew very well that during this autumn harvest, the mountain clan was unwilling to accept defeat, and also speculated that the other party might have some actions, but he could not be as sure as Ye Xuan.

"The Mountain Tribe is so calm." Ye Xuan smiled indifferently, raised three fingers and said.

"The three hundred warriors fight against the sky and the earth, never retreat, no one is a soft man. Just imagine, this is the food for their tribe to spend the winter. It is much less than in previous years, and now it has been half gone, what does it mean?"

Pei Qian suddenly felt a sudden shock in his heart. The population of the Shanyue tribe is not much smaller than that of Heishui City, and he has gained an absolute advantage in the autumn harvest for many years, and any shortage has been covered up.

In the past, Heishui City was short of food and could be seconded from other cities, but the mountain tribes were self-organized and had nowhere to borrow food.

The sudden loss of food this year will inevitably lead to the inability of some people of the tribe to survive this winter due to food shortages.

Pei Qian asked himself, if he didn't say anything else, if his relatives were in dire straits, even if he knew it was wrong, he would do it without hesitation, in order to let his relatives survive.

"If the mountain tribe intends to rob, how can you be willing to distribute half of the food? Just don't give it to me. It's so troublesome?" Pei Qian said in confusion.

"Because the city lord told their daughter of the clan leader before that if not, the autumn harvest agreement between Heishui City and the Shanyue Clan will be invalidated." Ye Xuan said with a deep look.

"It's different from the past. I've seen our harvest speed, and the mountain tribe definitely dare not violate the agreement."

"I see!"

At that time, Pei Qian took people to supervise the mountain clan and did not know about this. After hearing this, he suddenly realized it.

"There is one of the agreements that both sides are not allowed to use force during the autumn harvest. If the mountain tribe attacked at that time, it would be a violation of the agreement. Now that the autumn harvest is over, they will take action again, it will not be considered a violation of the agreement. The autumn harvest next year, and both sides will have to continue to follow the autumn harvest agreement."

"In fact, this city lord is not willing to break the autumn harvest agreement until it is absolutely necessary. The mountain tribe is adjacent to our Hei Shui City. Being friends is better than being enemies. With our current strength, once both sides turn against each other, we may not be better." Ye Xuan said.

"The city lord is very saying!" Pei Qian nodded solemnly, but he was puzzled again, "But why is it tonight?"

"If it were the lord of this city, he would have chosen tonight because Hei Shui City had a great harvest!" Ye Xuan stroked the edge of the teacup and couldn't help but recall the last meeting with the masked woman. He seemed to see a sentence in the other party's eyes.

This girl is very angry, and the consequences are very serious!

In addition, the whole process was not even open, and most of the time I spent staring at the pile of food. If I could see behind the mask, I might look like I could swallow all the food in one bite.

Not only the masked woman, but even the three hundred warriors were the same. They almost never left the food, but instead regarded Ye Xuan and his group as air.

If you are in the position, you will definitely not have the patience if you look like this. I am afraid you will feel uncomfortable if you wait for a day!

"Hei Shui City has achieved a great harvest, and it is the time for the whole city to be happy. Naturally, there is no need to be much prepared. It is indeed the best time to grab it."

Pei Qian looked at Ye Xuan more and more shocked. He didn't expect that the city lord was so young, and he could think so far away and had already prepared. It was so amazing!

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 50 faith points from Pei Qian."

Ye Xuan was not surprised by this, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip, frowned slightly.

Tea is redeemed from a faith value store. The kind of tea used in big bowls of tea has a average taste and is better than enough amount. It is best to supplement vitamins. Unfortunately, there is no tea tree to exchange for.

"City Lord, my subordinates still have a doubt. I don't know if it's time to ask?" Pei Qian also took a sip of tea, feeling refreshed.

Since he followed the city lord, his living standards have suddenly improved. He can drink tea every day. Even for this, he will be loyal to the end.

"What's the matter?" Ye Xuan turned his gaze from the teacup to Pei Qian and asked.

"When did the city lord have ideas about the mountain clan?"

"Haha, I have already said before, the mountain tribe is not bad!"

Pei Qian thought about it carefully and was shocked. He remembered that when the city lord said this, it was the first time he met the mountain clan. Could it be...

Just when Pei Qian was in amazement, the outside suddenly became noisy, and the entire Heishui City became noisy like a child who was awakened, from quiet to noisy.

"Go out and have a look!"

Ye Xuan's heart moved and he immediately left the study room, and Pei Qian also quickly followed.

I saw the fire in the west of Hei Shui City soaring into the sky, and something was obviously happening.

An hour later, a carrier pigeon flew into the city lord's mansion. After a while, Zhao Lian'er hurriedly ran back.
