The "thumping" vibration was felt not only by Nie Mingcheng, but also by half of the people in Jinhua City, and the vibration was even getting stronger.

Some dust on the roof tiles was shaken and fell.

Everyone didn't pay attention at first, and then suddenly someone exclaimed, "The earth dragon turns over", "Run quickly" and other words.

It was as if a stone had been thrown into a calm lake, causing splashing waves. Immediately, people on the street began to flee, and they didn't even have time to clean up the items on the stalls.

What a joke, how can things be important?

However, after everyone ran for a while, they discovered that although this shaking feeling continued, it seemed far less violent than the earth-shaking force of an earth dragon turning over.

Those messy stalls were all trampled by people, and the vibrations under my feet were as "dong-dong-dong" as the beat of a drum, but the intensity was so strong that it couldn't even knock down a child...

Then, an experienced man's eyes widened suddenly, and he suddenly lay on the ground with his eyes closed tightly, as if he was listening to something.

"Hey, what are you doing...?"

His neighbor and friend felt weird and reached out to pull him up, but he was knocked off by the person lying on the ground.

"Don't move!

"

Seeing his serious expression, the people on the side suddenly fell silent, and his friend realized that this man seemed to have discovered something.

After a few breaths.

The man stood up with his hands on his hands and shouted to his friend:

"This is not "earth dragon turning over", this is the sound of horse hooves, at least thousands of war horses..."

"There are thousands of war horses alone, and there are probably tens of thousands of people accompanying them. This means a large army is approaching."

When the people next to him heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turns out to be the army!~"

"It should be the government army! I was so surprised that I thought the earth dragon had turned over...!"

The man lowered his head and thought, feeling that something was not quite right.

How long has it been since the government troops left the city?

But judging from the sound of horse hooves, this army was obviously coming from outside. He secretly thought about it and pulled his friends out of the crowd.

The friend wanted to speak, but he stopped him with his eyes.

And all this fell in the eyes of a gorgeous woman in red.

"There's an army approaching?!"

"I'm going to check it out first. If it's true, I can ask my father and sisters to go to the commander's place to avoid being affected."

Then, the figure of the gorgeous woman disappeared like a ghost.

From beginning to end, no one found her figure.

………………

It was not that there was no Lao Baoshi in the government office. Nie Mingcheng soon learned from Lao Baoshi that thousands of war horses were galloping towards him, and he felt a chill in his heart.

"Didn't I hear that the imperial court sent an army here?!"

"Where did those people come from? Could it be that they came with bad intentions?"

Thinking of this, Nie Mingcheng immediately got up and went to find the prefect.

The prefect now also knew that something bad was going on. If tens of thousands of troops really attacked the city, it would be a rebellion~!

It is better to believe that this kind of thing exists than to believe that it does not exist.

The prefect quickly asked Nie Mingcheng to take his order and mobilize the government troops to defend the city.

but,

Before the government troops could gather together, some government officials rushed over to report.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good!

"

"There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses coming towards us outside the city, and the distance is less than three miles away!~"

The prefect was so shocked that he almost lost his footing.

"Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?! So many??"

"Yeah, the smoke and dust are billowing, and it's all black."

The prefect was so anxious that he was sweating coldly, and his thoughts were at a loss.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

"Yes, we need to hide the money at home first..."

Nie Mingcheng couldn't stand it anymore. How long had it been? He was still thinking about money.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and shouted loudly.

"calm!"

"Listen to me."

Then, Nie Mingcheng arranged for someone to notify the prefect army to speed up their assembly, while he himself forced the prefect to go to the city gate to supervise.

The prefect was unwilling to go at all, but this time Nie Mingcheng ignored his thoughts and dragged him up.

"Prefect, as the prefect of the city, your appearance at this moment will greatly boost morale!"

Originally, Nie Mingcheng alone could not pull the prefect, but someone pushed hard behind the prefect, causing the prefect to curse loudly.

After dozens of people pushed and shoved up to the city gate, the magistrate suddenly became quiet. He thought about it, the matter has come to this, no matter how good or bad it is, the final dignity cannot be lost.

"Da da da...!"

The thunderous sound of horse hooves rolled in, getting louder and louder, and the situation changed.

He could already see clearly what the army looked like. It looked like it was really not the imperial army. The prefect felt desperate. He was still hoping for a chance.

As the war horses galloped like a tide and the army approached rapidly, the heavy sound of horse hooves seemed to trample on everyone's hearts, trembling and trembling, and the atmosphere gradually became depressed.

"Xilulu~!"

Amidst the shouts of silence, all the soldiers and horses immediately stopped.

From extreme movement to extreme stillness, except that two people could not breathe, all the personnel were neat and square, as if they were one body, but there was not a trace of noise in the dense crowd, thousands of horses and horses were singing in unison.

Nie Mingcheng looked at the army below. Even though he had never seen the combat effectiveness of these soldiers, he knew that they were an elite force just from the change from Pentium Road to Silence.

But the more elite he became, the more Nie Mingcheng's heart sank.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the soldiers at the city gate. Their faces were pale, their hands and feet were trembling, and their throats were rumbling.

"The situation is not good~!"

The prefect looked at the army below. There were two big characters on the military flag - "Taiping".

He whispered: "Nie Tongpan, these are tough soldiers!"

"Look, they all ride war horses, wear iron armor, and are equipped with spears and knives. The cost of raising such an army is not a small amount~!"

This is all free money!

"Weapons plus armor weigh no less than fifty kilograms, but these people have been running here and nothing seems strange..."

Suddenly, the prefect kicked the government servant who had just come to report.

"You idiot, can't you even count?"

"How can there be tens of thousands of people here? Five or six thousand at most!"

Nie Mingcheng glanced at the prefect in surprise. This person actually had such vision and insight. He thought that the prefect only knew how to steal money!

Nie Mingcheng didn't notice these at all just now. He could only judge that these were elites.

If there were only five or six thousand people, the prefect would suddenly become more confident.

So what if there are only five or six thousand people, even if they are fierce soldiers? As long as I hold on to the city and wait until the government army gathers, it will be more than enough to defend the city, and maybe I can gain a lot of credit~!

When the time comes, I will be promoted to a higher rank... No, no, no, there is no need to be promoted. What's the good of being a Beijing official?! I live here with the sky high and the emperor far away, and I don't know how cool my life will be.

Moreover, those who can support such an army must have a lot of money behind them. When the time comes, hehehe...

Thinking of these things, the prefect couldn't help but put a smile on his face.

Then, he shouted loudly and righteously.

"Who is here? What do you want?!"

Sun Qingzhi looked at the speaker, compared the appearance description in the intelligence, and immediately knew that he was the prefect of Jinhua Prefecture.

"An old friend of Guo Bei, greetings to the magistrate!"

Whoosh!
