Universe Storage Box

0Last night, Xue Kai was in his tent. He welcomed a few unfamiliar guests. These people said that they were from a local family in Mei County. The reason they contacted him now was because they wanted to cooperate with him. Cooperating from the inside and helping him seize Mei County. Of course. After that, they also needed some benefits.    

    

Xue Kai didn't care about this at first, because... In his point of view, even without the help of those people in the city... He would still be able to obtain the victory of this siege. If he accepted the help of those people... In that case, he would have to give those people benefits afterwards. He was somewhat unwilling to do so.    

    

However, later on, his aides persuaded him... Although they had to give up some benefits, they could reduce casualties... And, their benefits weren't that easy to obtain, either. As long as they seized the Mei County, the Mei County would be under their control from now on. Those big and powerful people wouldn't be able to leave. They would have plenty of opportunities to take back the benefits from them.    

    

In the end, Xue Kai still accepted the advice of his advisor. He believed that with him around, those people would not be able to cause any trouble.    

    

"General, our attack in the morning has already frightened them. They have sent news that tonight at midnight, they can help us open the east gate. When that time comes, we can directly enter the city." The advisor said.    

    

"Will there be a trap?" Xue Kai asked.    

    

"I don't think so." The advisor said. " Actually, after the uprising army entered the city, in terms of methods, furthermore, I heard that... Yesterday, the uprising army suddenly took care of a local family that had supported them. The head of the family was killed. The family had also been robbed. These people were probably afraid of such a thing. It would fall on their heads, so they had lost all trust in the uprising army. That's why they contacted us. "    

    

"Hmph, these guys are pretty self-aware." Xue Kai said, "However, once we enter the city, they will know that we are not much better than those uprising armies."    

    

Xue Kai was quite good with his soldiers. However, he had a lot of ways to deal with those wealthy merchants. Otherwise, how could he have so much money to make his men work for him? It could be said that although the Western Army was still the army of the Imperial Court in name, however, it was no different from his private army.    

    

All these years, because of the imperial court's incompetence, many armies were unable to pay in time. Furthermore, the Western Army was a team that had not been established for a very long time, so it was not a big deal. His uncle did not love him anymore. If not for Xue Kai using his own means to get money... Putting aside the current combat strength of the Western Army, even if it still existed, it still wouldn't be able to survive. It was still a problem.    

    

Those soldiers naturally knew who was the one who gave them the money. Therefore, they worked very hard for Xue Kai, and were even more loyal to him than to the Emperor.    

    

The advisor also knew why Xue Kai wanted the money. So... He did not try to dissuade him. He even encouraged Xue Kai to get as much money as possible. He wanted to expand his team because he had realized... The chaotic world had come. In the chaotic world, only he had enough power. Talent. Only by living could he live a better life.    

    

"Alright, you should also go and rest. Since we have the help of those people, we won't attack the city in the afternoon. Let's wait for Zi Shi's arrival." Xue Kai said to his advisor.    

    

After that, the advisor left, and the entire camp seemed to become even quieter.    

    

The entire afternoon, the uprising army in the city spent their days in fear and doubt. They did not know if they could survive if the enemy attacked again. What they were curious about was that the Western Army didn't seem to have the intention of taking down the Mei County in one go.    

    

As for those big eyes, they saw that the Western Army didn't attack the ___ in the afternoon. They felt relieved in their hearts. Some of them even thought that it was a good idea. They could still defend the Mei County. The Western Army had attacked in the morning. Their lives were worth more than their lives. The leader of the Western Army probably wouldn't be able to bear such a loss. That was why he gave up on attacking the city.    

    

"I told you that we can defend it. Those dogs and thieves from the Imperial Court are nothing to worry about."    

    

"That's right. Luckily, we didn't report this to the leader. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been scolded for nothing."    

    

"I think those soldiers from the Western Army have been scared out of their wits by us. They might have to retreat tomorrow."    

    

"I think they will have to leave tonight."    

    

The leaders of the uprising army were once again optimistic about the current situation. They felt that their determination to fight to the death and their courage to do so. They had already frightened the soldiers of Western Army. They would soon leave this place. And the siege of Mei County would be resolved.    

    

However, Huang Feng and Su Pei were obviously not as optimistic as these big shots. The more unusual the Western Army was, the more suspicious they were. If the Western Army launched another attack... It was still manageable, but they didn't make any moves now. It was obvious that something was amiss. The two of them didn't think so. The Western Army was frightened and didn't dare to attack.    

    

"It seems like tonight won't be too peaceful." Su Pei said with emotion.    

    

He was now the same as Huang Feng, thinking that... There would be an accident tonight, but he didn't have the right to command those big eyes to investigate. At this time, all he could do was to ensure the safety of himself and his subordinates.    

    

"General Su, my men have already taken control of the west gate. Once the people from the Imperial Court come in, we can leave immediately." Wang Daniu said.    

    

Wang Datou had already pledged his allegiance to Su Pei. Therefore, Su Pei naturally couldn't let anything happen to him. At this moment, he had also transferred Wang Datou to his side.    

    

Su Pei nodded his head and didn't say anything else. Now, it all depended on how many people he could bring with him.    

    

The sky gradually darkened. As for the imperial army on the opposite side... There was still no movement, and the uprising army on the city wall relaxed even more. In their point of view, the Western Army would not attack again. At least not today. After all, there was no movement in the afternoon. Could it be that they could still attack at night?    

    

Some of the uprising army leaders even thought about using the night to sneak into the camp. However, they were immediately rejected, although they were unwilling to admit it. However, this Western Army was much stronger than the last time. Besides, they had already suffered a loss last time. It was impossible for them to be unprepared this time. This time, General... Obviously, he wouldn't be as careless as the last time.    

    

Therefore, many of the leaders of the uprising army did not choose to steal the camp. However, they did not know that they did not want to cause trouble for the other party. Instead, the other party wanted to cause trouble for them tonight.
