Chapter 1792 Chapter 1792 An empty city plan(2/2)
We staggered on the road.
While walking on the road, I heard the horses of Cui Jiancheng, Song Xuan, and Pei Yuanxiu were all around the carriage, and I could also hear the sounds of them or conversations. Just as we were getting closer and closer to Tianjin City, several groups of people who were exploring the way came back one after another. It was obvious that they were very alert to the situation in Tianjin City this time, but listening to the reports outside vaguely, there seemed to be nothing satisfying to them.
After walking for a while, Cui Jiancheng finally couldn't help but whisper: "I think something is wrong."
Pei Yuanxiu said: "What's wrong?"
"There is no one on this official road."
I lifted the curtain and looked out, and Pei Yuanxiu frowned slightly.
In fact, when we approached Cangzhou City before, there was no one on the official road, and there was no footprint left on the snow outside the post station. Later I learned that it was because they besieged Cangzhou City and could not even get out of a soldier, which caused the official road to be rarely visited.
And now this situation-
Song Xuan said from the side: "Can Tianjin City besieged?"
Cui Jianzhen sneered: "Who can trap that city?"
Song Xuan glanced at him and said nothing.
His words just now were obviously impulsive. If Tianjin City was really besieged, the spy who went to explore the way forward would have come back to report. Since he didn't say it, it would prove that Tianjin City was safe and sound and had not been attacked by war.
However, it is indeed a bit strange that there is not a single person on the official road.
Pei Yuanxiu thought for a while and turned to look at Xie Feng beside him.
Xie Feng's face was as gloomy as the sky above his head at this moment. His eyes looked ahead, as if he was thinking about his own affairs all the time. However, when Pei Yuanxiu turned to look at him, he immediately came to his senses and said calmly: "The spy dare not enter the city, he can only visit outside the city. There is no danger, so the young master just rest assured."
Pei Yuanxiu said: "Then you--"
Xie Feng said: "My business can be settled after I go."
Pei Yuanxiu looked at him for a while, then turned around and ordered: "Go ahead."

The wind blows harder and harder.
Although it was not yet Si, the sky was already gloomy just like when the sun set in the evening. The snow on the road was crushed by the horseshoe wheels in front of us, and the ice slags were everywhere, making our road more and more difficult to walk. Finally, at Si, we finally saw the tall city in the distance under the cloudy sky.
It was as quiet as a huge stone.
On the city tower, there seemed to be no one guarding the city. Only the flags among the battlements were fluttering in the wind, making people feel a little vitality.
But as he walked, Xie Feng's brows also frowned.
Pei Yuanxiu immediately looked at him: "What's wrong?"
He did not answer immediately, but frowned and quieted for a while before slowly saying, "No sound."
"Um?"
“There is no sound on the city tower.”
"……What's the meaning?"
"It seems that there are no people guarding the city."
Pei Yuanxiu opened his eyes wide in shock, and the people around him were also shocked, and they all said, "How is that possible?"
"Tianjin is the acropolis of the capital."
"How could there be no guard?"
"Can they come up with an empty city plan to deal with us?"
...
When it comes to empty city plan, everyone is somewhat wary.
Although there were not many casualties in the battle in Cangzhou, they had exhausted their energy. Tianjin was originally an important town in the north, and it was possible to encounter any tenacious resistance here, so they had to be even more careful.
Pei Yuanxiu said: "Then do we want to stay here?"
Xie Feng shook his head: "My ears are not wrong. There are no soldiers around the city tower. We don't have to worry about being ambushed directly."
