More than ten pieces of calculation chips fell into the jade plate, jumping endlessly, like pearls and jade on the ground, and finally calmed down. The old man in linen opened his eyes and looked at the calculation chips, and at the same time made a secret in his hand.
When he saw the outcome of the settlement, his whole body was suddenly shaken, with a look of extreme panic on his face. He stood up and wanted to run away. As soon as he bounced off the ground, he let out a muffled groan and fell down. His face turned pale, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
, dyeing the calculation chips in the jade plate scarlet.
The first spurt of blood was like a faucet that had been opened. The blood kept pouring out of the old man's mouth, and it could no longer be stopped. He stretched out his hand to cover it, but it was to no avail, and his breath quickly declined.
Knowing that he was going to die, the old man in sackcloth struggled to sit up, dipped his fingers in his own blood, and quickly wrote a few large characters on the ground. However, the more he wrote, the more he shivered, and the handwriting was blurry and slanted. Finally, the old man in sackcloth tilted his body and fell down.
Never move again.
The waiter outside heard the commotion and greeted several times outside the door. Seeing that there was no movement at all, he hesitated and knocked again. When there was no response, he looked a little bad. After hesitating for a moment, he boldly pushed it open.
Looking at the door through the crack in the door, he immediately screamed and sat down on the ground. Then he turned over and got up, and ran away like a whirlwind.
A moment later, a middle-aged man with a majestic face walked quickly, and the waiter ran wildly behind him before he could keep up.
The middle-aged man pushed open the door and walked into the quiet room, his face instantly became extremely ugly.
The waiter followed behind and breathed heavily: "I heard something wrong outside. When I opened the door and took a look, it was already like this. I came to report it to the Lord immediately without any delay."
The middle-aged man walked up to the old man in sackcloth, stretched out his hand to test his breath, and then touched the places behind his ears and heart. His face was so gloomy that he wanted to drip water. He stood up straight, followed the old man's fingers, and looked at the ground.
Those bloody words.
"Great things can happen, but it's like a snake rising..." the middle-aged man read softly.
The words at the back were almost a mass of blood, and it was impossible to make them out. After reading for a long time, he said bitterly: "I am about to die, so I can't write less nonsense!"
If you don't be so literal-minded, you can leave some key information.
He ordered the waiter to get a pen and paper, accurately trace the words in blood and the random traces behind them on the paper, then turned around and left.
The waiter asked from behind: "Sir, what should I do with the body of Mr. Huangfu?"
"Buried." The middle-aged man left these two words behind and flew away like the wind.
The locomotive crossed the vast wilderness and headed straight for Tingchao City with great momentum. This specially built heavy-duty locomotive had an excellent endurance, and its huge body had enough space to store black crystals. It drove all the way from Nanqing to Tingchao City.
city.
At the gate of the city, a caravan and some travelers were queuing up to enter the city. Although the order was in good order, it could not hide the desolation after the war. There were signs of hasty repairs everywhere on the city walls, and the charred blackness left by artillery fire in many places was still vivid in my mind.
The roar of the locomotive was so astonishing that a column of smoke could be seen from a distance, and the body of the locomotive could not be seen clearly. It rushed towards me like a thunderous force, like a chariot charging. When the lookout post at the city head saw this uninvited guest who was obviously not a good person, he suddenly had a look on his face.
Nervous, he sent a signal to the same group of defenders below.
The defenders of this section of the city wall moved in response. The machine gunners and deputies turned their guns and pointed them in the direction in which Qianye was running. Qianye turned a blind eye to the muzzles of the guns that were clearly pointed at him and rushed directly into the range of the defenders' machine guns. This was embarrassing.
When they arrived at the city gate, they braked. The tires of the motorcycle rubbed violently against the ground, making a screeching sound. The huge body of the motorcycle spun twice and was pushed by the huge inertia and slid for tens of meters before barely stopping.
The smoke gradually dissipated, revealing Qianye's figure. He raised his head and looked towards the tower. The defenders had different expressions. Some were nervous, some were confused, and some were trembling and pointed their guns in other directions. It was obvious that
It's fear.
After the hustle and bustle, there is silence.
In the dead silence, I suddenly heard a click, which was the sound of the machine gun's safety opening. The person controlling the machine gun was obviously a novice. His face was pale and his hands were trembling. The veteran next to him was shocked and slapped him hard.
He rolled around a few times and scolded in a low voice: "Do you want to kill everyone?"
The recruit looked confused and looked around at his colleagues. He was surprised to find that several of them had actually moved their guns away from the shooting position.
At this moment, more and more defenders recognized Qianye and the man who killed Luo Bingfeng. In fact, the siege of Luo Bingfeng was too high-end, and these ordinary soldiers could not understand the danger of that battle. Qianye
The real battle to establish power was actually the series of battles to block the gate of Tingchao City.
How could there ever be such a legend about a city being sealed off by a single person?
No matter how tough and brave the Tingchao City defenders are, they are still human after all, and they are still afraid of death, and they are not willing to die needlessly. Since Luo Bingfeng died in the battle, Tingchao City has been occupied by the Empire and Yongye respectively. After the two battles,
The soldiers who were not afraid of death have long since turned into corpses, and the rest are either new recruits or veterans.
If not for this, Qianye put on such a malicious attack on the city. According to the original elite and bravery of the city guard, he would have fired a machine gun to greet him.
Seeing that there was no movement in the city, Qianye was a little disappointed and shook his head. He had originally planned to fight a few battles during this trip, but now that the defenders were so weak, it was unexpected and his plans were disappointed.
It came up empty.
Qianye didn't even get off the motorcycle. He raised his voice and said, "I am Qianye, the Lord of Tingchao City. Open the city gate for me!"
The defenders on the city looked at each other.
For a large city like Tingchao City, the city gates usually have double or even triple sets. Normally, only part of the gate is opened for the passage of people and vehicles. Only when troops are sent out in war or there is a formal ceremony, the city gate will be fully opened. Then use
The power of the steam tower cannot be pushed by a few soldiers.
Now that Qianye is refusing to enter, he is obviously asking for the city gate to be opened. If he is really the lord of the city, this request is more of a symbolic meaning, meaning that he has officially settled in. It is not too much to say.
It's just that Qianye's becoming the Lord of Tingchao City was only announced to the top officials in the city. The gatekeepers at the city gate knew about it, but the soldiers below had no way of knowing. After all, this matter is a bit shameful, and the major forces in Tingchao City haven't thought about it yet.
How you want to treat this appointment will naturally not be publicized.
The soldiers guarding the city were at a loss and all looked at the officer. The gatekeeper had just received the news and ran up the stairs. At this time, he secretly took a breath and knew that there was no escape. He walked to the wall and said: "See you there."
Pass the city lord!"
Qianye pointed at the machine gun position and said coldly: "Since you know that I am the city lord, why do you still dare to point a gun at me? Or do you think you don't take Zhang Buzhou seriously anymore?"
Qianye's position as city lord was personally appointed by Zhang Buzhou, and the people from the Heavenly King's Mansion were responsible for announcing it. Although everyone knew what was going on inside, in the eyes of outsiders, it was indeed Zhang Tianwang's intention. Qianye was determined
It seems right to say that disrespecting yourself means disrespecting Zhang Buzhou.
The gatekeeper couldn't see that Qianye was here to cause trouble. While sending people to the city to report urgently, he scolded the soldiers and ordered them to put away their weapons and pointed their guns at the murderous star. What else could he do if he wasn't seeking death?
Of course, the gatekeeper also forgot to give the order to the maintenance room. The two small power towers nearby started up, the steam pipes made a low roar, and the Chao City gate slid to both sides along the track.
Qianye started the motorcycle and drove slowly into the city gate, saying: "Come here, take me to the city lord's mansion!"
The gatekeeper immediately assigned a few people and ordered them to lead the way. These were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and it would take some time to even run to the city lord's palace. The gatekeeper obviously wanted to delay the time so that the people in the city could
Be prepared.
However, how could Qianye give him this chance? His figure flashed and appeared beside the gatekeeper, picked him up and said, "Just go with me!"
The gatekeeper was so scared that he lost his mind. When he met Qianye's eyes and saw the coldness deep in his eyes, he immediately shuddered. Knowing that there was no escape, he had no choice but to follow Qianye down to the city.
Qianye got on the motorcycle, and the gatekeeper was already a little dizzy. He didn't even have time to let someone drive over. The motorcycle started up and he subconsciously ran ahead to lead the way.
The locomotive roared like thunder on the street, and everyone looked sideways wherever it passed. They also saw the gatekeeper running wildly in front of them. Everyone was curious about what happened. Some of the brave ones followed.
After a while, he arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Qianye got off the motorcycle and looked at this majestic mansion and the soldiers gathered at the gate.
Many tall and ferocious-looking warriors crowded the gate. They had their arms crossed, their chins raised, and they stared at Qianye from the corners of their eyes, with provocative expressions on their faces.
The gatekeeper had disappeared by this time.
Qianye took off his goggles, jumped off the motorcycle, kicked the motorcycle over, and walked slowly towards the city lord's palace.
All the soldiers of the city lord's palace stood still, motionless, and obviously had no intention of giving way. Qianye glanced at it and saw no one with an officer's mark inside. The highest rank was no more than a sergeant, that is, the original
Strength cultivation is level 4 or 5.
These cannon fodder can be destroyed with a raised hand, but the problem is that destroying them will not help, but will make Qianye look cruel and murderous.
Regardless of whether someone is driving and instigating from behind, or these people are blocking the car by themselves, Qianye does not intend to let them have the illusion that they can use this to coerce themselves.
He kept walking and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion, treating the people blocking his way as nothing. At the same time, he exhaled and made a sound. Although the sound was not very loud, it actually covered a small part of Tingchao City.
"Are you no longer paying attention to Zhang Buzhou's orders? Is what he said just bullshit?"
Qianye's words instantly made everyone change their expressions. Although Chaocheng has changed hands twice, until now, no one has dared to disrespect Zhang Buzhou like this. Qianye's words seemed to be defending Zhang Buzhou's order, but
In fact, he was pointing at Zhang Buzhou's nose and scolding him.
There was still silence in the city lord's palace, but Qianye had already walked in front of the soldiers in the front row. Each of these soldiers was taller and taller than Qianye. However, as the light in Qianye's eyes turned colder, the gap in momentum between the two sides quickly widened.
big.
"act recklessly!"
Qianye took a step forward and bumped into hundreds of burly men in front of him!
"Stop!" A loud shout rang out from the city lord's mansion at this time, but it was already too late.
As Qianye moved around, the soldiers who were crowded at the gate suddenly felt a powerful force falling on them out of thin air. Everyone felt like a boulder was weighed on their backs, and the roar of the waves of the sea could be faintly heard in their ears.
The pressure was so heavy that these ordinary soldiers could not resist it. Many people's vision went dark, their throats felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. In the blink of an eye, no one could still stand.
Not only that, the gate and gate tower of the city lord's palace could not withstand the terrifying pressure of the domain. After shaking a few times, they collapsed!
Bricks and stones rained down on the soldiers who fell to the ground. Many of them had suffered internal injuries, but this time it was even worse. They were hit with broken bones and tendons.rw
