Chapter 201

The city-guarding soldiers were less than ten thousand; they were easy to handle.

Wang Li thought of this and asked: "Ninth Prince, do we need to continue arranging for people to go and harass them?"

"In this way, the people of the Xiang family will not have a moment of leisure."

Ying Ying Zi Ye thought for a moment: "You are the professional in this aspect; arrange it yourself!"

"Yes!"

Wang Li turned and went to give orders.

According to his meaning, he wanted continuous, uninterrupted harassment.

Even if they couldn't get in, he wanted to harass them until they couldn't have peace.

For him, Wang Li, this didn't count as a war; it only counted as playing house.

Compared to the wars he had fought before, this could only be considered child's play and not worth mentioning.

Inside Sucheng.

People in the city couldn't get out today.

The city gates were tightly closed, and there were no announcements.

This made the residents confused.

City gates were generally only closed at night; unless there were special circumstances, they wouldn't be closed during the day.

Some commoners were anxious to leave the city, but the soldiers guarding the city gates just wouldn't open them.

This made the commoners in the city feel a hint of something unusual.

But they had no way at all and could only continue waiting for the city gates to open.

Merchants and commoners who were in a hurry to leave the city to handle business were all waiting not far from the city gates.

"Did something happen in Sucheng today? Why haven't the city gates opened yet?"

"I'm in a hurry to go out to purchase goods; the time was already set, but now the city gates won't open."

"Me too! I have urgent business to leave the city; if the city gates weren't going to open, why wasn't there an announcement last night?"

"If there had been an announcement, I would have spent the night outside the city last night; sigh, I'm going to break my promise to people now!"

The commoners were all waiting, bored, and could only gather together to talk.

Most people's faces carried a hint of anxiety.

"Grandfather, perhaps... something big has happened in Sucheng!"

At this moment, a young merchant whispered to an old man beside him.

"Kid, don't you go spreading rumors here!"

"What big thing could happen in Sucheng?"

Before the old man could speak, a fatty on the side took over the conversation.

"That's right, what big thing could happen?"

"Young people shouldn't talk nonsense; be careful about being caught."

The old man frowned and scolded: "Agou, don't talk nonsense!"

"Grandfather, I'm really not talking nonsense; what I'm saying is all true!"

Agou was also a young man, and also a hot-blooded person; how could he endure these people's words?

Immediately, ignoring his grandfather's obstruction, he directly said everything he knew.

"The city gates haven't been opened for such a long time; you certainly don't know why, but I know!"

The crowd was in a stir; they indeed didn't know why.

Now that this young man said he knew, they were all curious and told him to say it quickly.

Agou looked around, and seeing that there were no soldiers nearby, he dared to continue speaking.

"I have a friend who is a city-guarding soldier; he told me last night that a group of people suddenly came into Sucheng."

"After that, the officials gave them a holiday and let another group of people come to guard the city."

"Didn't you notice that the appearances of those soldiers are all very unfamiliar?"

"My friend was very depressed last night and drank some wine before telling me."

"He said this matter is very secret and cannot be spread."

"Anyway, what I said is all true; believe it or not, it's up to you." ===== CHAPTER 203 =====
