The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

Asuduo took the small scrolls curiously, and after looking at them for a while, his expression changed.

"Father."

He asked.

"Is there any follow-up news?"

"No." The deputy city lord said blankly, but when he saw Asuduo's face looked a little strange, he asked.

"Any questions?"

"...Shule City is in danger!!" Asuduo said firmly.

"Father, you must organize defense immediately!"

"Huh?" The deputy city lord's mouth twitched.

"Asuduo, you are indeed my favorite son, and the Great Wizard of the Holy City also admires you."

"But you have to understand that you can't talk about this kind of thing casually."

"I'm not talking nonsense." Asuduo quickly analyzed for the deputy city lord.

"There's no way so many outposts could all be lying at the same time!"

“Even if some people are talking nonsense, does that mean everyone is talking nonsense?”

"They must have seen a Tang army—"

"And I'm afraid it's of a certain scale, which can at least make them feel scared."

"And after that, they never sent back any news. I'm afraid—"

I'm afraid it won't end well.

"in addition……"

"Father, we have to go to the city gate."

At the gate of Shule City, several Tumu soldiers rudely stopped a row of convoys.

"What do you do!?"

Without waiting for the other side to speak, they pounced on the donkeys and mules like wolves and tore the burlap sacks on them.

Then they took up their swords and guns and stabbed at it randomly, causing the goods, cloth and food inside to roll all over the ground.

Then came the looting.

"Warriors, no, no."

Everyone in the convoy was almost crying, and some even knelt down to beg the Tumo soldiers to stop robbing.

However, the opponent suddenly drew out a knife, wanting to teach them a lesson.

Those who didn't draw their swords started beating the vendors with whips and sticks.

"Warrior, don't!"

Seeing this, the leader of the caravan quickly took out gold, silver and treasures to bribe the squad leader at the city gate.

After raising the price twice, the team leader was finally satisfied.

"Yeah, okay, the inspection is complete."

"You can go in."

He raised his chin and signaled the soldiers carrying large and small bags to stop.

"Okay."

"Today's taxes are collected here."

"Hehehe." The soldiers who had fleeced the sheep stopped and returned to their posts with smiles on their faces.

Before leaving, they couldn't help but spit at the person on the ground, or kick him hard.

"Horse riding!"

"He looks pretty strong."

After a Tumo soldier kicked, he cursed and shook his numb foot.

"Hey, are you okay?" The leader of the caravan pulled up a vendor who was beaten the worst.

"It's okay."

The peddler smiled.

"Don't forget I'm half Khotanese."

I saw that beneath his skin, there was a faint, jade-like luster.

He said quietly.

"You bastard, you'll only hurt your feet if you kick me."

"Ah That's good."

The team leader nodded.

"I'll find a doctor to treat you later."

Soon, the storm was over.

Just as the convoy disappeared into the city and began to make turns.

Asuduo, standing on the top of the city wall, had a smile on his face.

"It's exactly what I thought."

"Father, my judgment is correct!"

"Do they have any problems?" asked the deputy city lord.

After all, this kind of thing is very common.

He really didn't notice anything unusual.

"Father." Asuduo said meaningfully.

"Haven't you noticed that there are too many young and strong people coming into the city?"

“…” After carefully considering the scene just now, the deputy city lord suddenly realized.

"That's it!"

Chapter 133 - Night of Turmoil

The deputy city lord hadn’t noticed it before.

But after Asudo's reminder, he immediately reacted.

Although those people were well hidden and their composition was very mixed, including Sogdians, Tushis, Khotan, Shule, Boli... everything was included.

He also looks like a variety of vendors, refugees, doctors, herdsmen, etc.

Maybe it was.

However, they still revealed their flaws.

There are too many young and strong people who have sneaked in.

This isn't about causing trouble, that's what's really happening!

"It's exactly as the City Lord predicted. Someone is already getting restless so soon."

The deputy city lord sighed.

He understood what his son meant and felt that he knew the truth.

It is impossible for so many outposts to lie at the same time. There must have been a Tang army rushing towards Shule City.

In addition, the city lord had just gone on an expedition when there were unusual movements in Shule City.

It seems that some Tang people from somewhere have gathered an army using unknown means.

They collaborated with some unknown wizard to create a disturbance, and then used the disturbance to lure away the city lord and his army to encircle and suppress the enemy.

Afterwards, they cooperated with the insiders in the city to capture the city in one fell swoop!

"Tsk, I can't tell."

"The person in charge of this plan has some brains."

After thinking about it, the deputy city lord suddenly realized.

If you’re not careful, this plan might actually succeed!

After all, once Shule City fell into the hands of the Tang army—

Hiss, it won’t be another ten years of hard battle!

He was deeply impressed by the white-haired veterans of the Anxi Army.

The Tumu Empire fought a bloody battle in the Western Regions before it could barely capture the white-haired old soldiers.

If the Tang army takes another city...

He didn't even dare to think about what the consequences would be!

No!

This city must not be lost!

"Pay attention to their movements." He quickly called his confidants and instructed them.

"Get the warriors ready, it looks like it's time to go on a killing spree."

The deputy city lord paced back and forth, thinking about countermeasures.

"First, get rid of the traitors—well, kill anyone who's suspicious. Evidence or no evidence is irrelevant at this point."

After clearing Shule City, we will deal with the unknown Tang army depending on the situation.

If you can win, then you will gain a great achievement for free.

If you can't win, then just defend the city and hold on for a while until the city lord comes to help.

Under attack from both sides, the Tang army will surely be defeated!

"Father, you absolutely cannot do this!"

Hearing that his father was planning to kill people right now, Asuduo hurried to stop him.

"This is just alerting the enemy!"

"It seems to have stabilized the situation, but in fact it is very disadvantageous to us——"

"Go on." said the deputy city lord.

At least his son is smarter than him, so it should be okay to listen to his opinions at this time.

Asuduo nodded and began to explain.

"If we arrest people now, it will be impossible to catch all the insurgents."

"Even if we catch some and execute them all, it may not deter potential rebels. On the contrary, it may make them more determined to rebel."

"And if we don't catch them all, once the Tang army arrives outside the city, if they cause trouble during the siege..."

Asuduo didn't continue speaking.

But the deputy city lord already understood.

"It seems to make sense, but..." he asked doubtfully.

"Asuduo, you seem to have completely ignored the situation of the city lord returning to provide assistance."

"Do you think the City Lord has already..."

The deputy city lord felt incredible.

Rajmaya leads an extremely powerful army.

But in the eyes of his son, the other side has been completely wiped out?
