Shi Weimin couldn't help but shook his head, secretly sighing that the power of Qingfeng Village was so great that it made the servants in his mansion a little impetuous.

As early as the beginning of Qingfeng Village's occupation of Yangzhou, he realized that Huai'an Prefecture was sandwiched between Yangzhou Prefecture and Haizhou, and would sooner or later be doomed to a fierce battle with Qingfeng Village.

Even though we were well prepared, we still repelled several tentative attacks from Qingfeng Village last night.

But he knew that Huai'an Prefecture would be lost sooner or later.

The reason why he still resisted here was not what Shi Weimin wanted.

Shi Weimin was an official who was dedicated to serving the people. Even though Qingfeng Village treated the gentry harshly, which was contrary to the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, he treated the people equally.

He also didn't want the soldiers and civilians in the city to suffer heavy casualties due to the confrontation with Qingfeng Village.

But there are some things that are not up to him.

With a light sigh, Shi Weimin pinched his eyebrows.

I was thinking in my mind how to delay for two more days.

Suddenly, at this moment, there was a creaking sound from the closed door.

Shi Weimin frowned and said dissatisfiedly,

"Didn't I tell you this? No one is allowed to disturb me!"

At this time, a strange voice was heard.

"Haha, Lord Shi is indeed upright and incorruptible!"

Shi Weimin was shocked when he heard this and looked up quickly.

Then he saw a man in green clothes, holding a knife in both hands behind his back, looking at the furnishings in his study as if no one was around.

"You are……"

When Shi Weimin saw the words "Qingfeng" embroidered on the chest of the man's blue clothes, his expression changed drastically.

"Are you from Qingfeng Village?"

The visitor smiled and saluted Shi Weimin.

"Tang Xiaohu, the deputy head of Yunchi Hall, greets Master Shi!"

Shi Weimin clenched his fists in his sleeves and quickly calmed down.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Tang Xiaohu warily.

"You can come in, so I guess you have captured all my guards and servants outside?"

Tang Xiaolong smiled and nodded.

"Not bad!"

Shi Weimin frowned.

"Then you came to kill me?"

Tang Xiaolong shook his head.

"I have been ordered to invite Lord Shi to a certain place! Please follow me!"

Shi Weimin took a deep breath and did not ask,

"I'm curious, the city gates are heavily guarded, and you didn't dig a hole or break through the gates, so how did you get in?"

Seeing that Shi Weimin was surprised to see him coming, he still managed to maintain some composure. Even Tang Xiaohu couldn't help but admire him.

Then he smiled and said,

"Master Shi, please come with me. You will know soon!"

As he spoke, Tang Xiaohu had already grasped the knife behind his back, as if to say, "If you don't agree, I'll give it a try."

However, unexpectedly, after hearing Tang Xiaohu's words, Shi Weimin nodded slightly indifferently.

"Of course! Please lead the way!"

Tang Xiaohu's jaw almost dropped when he heard that.

"Ah? This..."

Shi Weimin looked at Tang Xiaohu with a smile.

"Why? Didn't you come to invite me?"

Tang Xiaohu quickly came back to his senses.

"Oh! Yes, yes! Please follow me!"

Shi Weimin followed Tang Xiaohu out of the study. When he saw a large ball suspended one foot above the ground in the yard by a rope, he was immediately shocked.

Looking at Tang Xiaohu in surprise.

"May I ask what this thing is? It can actually stand on its own. Could it be that you used this to enter the city?"

Tang Xiaohu looked a little proud and stretched out his hand towards the big ball.

"Master Shi, please come in!"

Even though Shi Weimin is devoted to the people and has a clean record, this thing looks fragile.

What if he fell from the air, wouldn’t he be smashed into pieces?

"I, I... well, how about I..."

However, before he could finish his words, his eyes went dark and his body collapsed.

Tang Xiaohu retracted his knife, grabbed Shi Weimin, and waved at the two people beside him.

"withdraw!"

Not long after, a huge spherical object slowly rose from the prefectural government office.

However, due to the tense atmosphere of the siege at Qingfeng Village outside the city, most of the people hid in their homes in fear, and few people were able to see such a miraculous scene.
