Ming Zhiyuan jumped across a pond, took a few steps up to an elevated pavilion in front of the pond, and looked around. He was surrounded by lone warriors chasing after him.
He looked back and saw City Lord Wangtian running among a group of warriors and chasing after him. It seemed that if he wanted to escape from the City Lord's Mansion, he could only break through the siege.
Ming Zhiyuan looked at the crowds surrounding him from all sides and rushed away from the patrol sergeant.
When the sergeants over there saw the people who broke into the city lord's palace at night rushing toward them, they immediately formed a small half-moon-shaped siege formation.
Ming Zhiyuan rushed into the formation, punched out with both fists, and knocked the two sergeants who rushed up to fight first. Then he kicked with both feet, knocking over the surrounding sergeants, and immediately grabbed it in his hands.
A sergeant lifted him up by one ankle.
Seeing that his comrades were being swung as if they were weapons, the swords in the hands of the sergeants who were once again surrounded seemed to be a little too dangerous for a moment.
The high-level warriors from Wangtian City who caught up behind him showed no hesitation at all. One of the warriors slashed the soldier in half with a broadsword in his hand, cutting him in half.
Ming Zhiyuan threw the half-remaining body towards the man holding the knife, then turned around and rushed into the group of sergeants, killing towards the front.
His fists were like phantoms, swinging into a circle. All the soldiers who were close to him were concentrated by his iron fists, and they were all knocked away and screamed in agony.
With his current martial arts strength, these soldiers could not stop the speed of his attack.
Ming Zhiyuan snatched a spear from the hands of one of the sergeants who was kicked away by him, and pulled out the spear with streaks of lightning. In just a few rounds, he had already killed the circle of sergeants on this side.
He ran towards the wall of the city lord's mansion not far away.
The man with the knife behind him was chasing after him in a hurry. Ming Zhiyuan, who was slowed down by the sergeant, ran a few steps and heard the sound of the wind blowing from the big knife behind him. Before he could turn around, the spear in his hand swung out in a semicircle from behind.
, blocking the long knife.
Only then did he turn around and fight the man with the big sword while retreating.
At this time, those high-level warriors had already caught up with them. Surrounded by a large group of warriors, the Lord of Wangtian City looked at Ming Zhiyuan who was fighting with the knife-wielding man with bright eyes.
"Who sent you to Wangtian City to investigate? As long as you tell the truth, I will never embarrass you. How about letting you out?"
The spear in Ming Zhiyuan's hand could not help but block, and the man with the knife had no intention of fighting Ming Zhiyuan at all costs.
Seeing another circle of warriors surrounding him, Ming Zhiyuan might not be able to escape if he didn't let the handsome boy show up to help.
After a few more exchanges with the man, Ming Zhiyuan shouted loudly to the Lord of Wangtian City: "I have a few words to say to you, but it concerns our secrets. You tell these people to stand down, and I will follow you."
What do you think?"
The Lord of Wangtian City laughed loudly, "You want me to remove the people so that you can escape? These are all my own people in Wangtian City. If you have anything to say, just say it. I have nothing to avoid them in Wangtian City."
"Master Wangtian, are you sure you want me to say this in front of so many people?"
Wangtian City Lord looked at Ming Zhiyuan and said, "You guys should stop first." After saying that, he turned around and glanced around, ordering the sergeants on the perimeter to retreat.
Then he turned to the two people who had stopped fighting and said, "Tell me, is there anything that is a secret between you and me?"
After saying this, he looked at Ming Zhiyuan with a meaningful expression.
Ming Zhiyuan frowned and looked at the high-level warriors around him, then looked at Wangtian City Lord, "Did you develop the gunpowder cans made in your house yourself?"
Wangtian City Lord was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed wildly, and the surrounding warriors also laughed together.
"Boy, do you think knowing that my house is making gunpowder pots means you know the secret of Wangtian City?"
The Lord of Wangtian City laughed so much that tears flowed out. He wiped the corners of his eyes and said: "As for the gunpowder jar, almost everyone in Lingding Continent now knows that it is something that only Wangtian City has, but none of them know the formula.
What? Boy, do you still want to steal my formula?"
Ming Zhiyuan looked at the Lord of Wangtian City and said, "Did you develop this formula yourself? Or was it someone else? If it was developed by someone else, then I have nothing to say to you."
Wangtian City Lord stopped laughing, and then said to Ming Zhiyuan: "That is my exclusive formula, what? Do you still want to make a deal with me in exchange for the gunpowder formula?"
Ming Zhiyuan looked at Wangtian City Lord. Although his tone of voice was playful, his eyes that looked closely at him revealed a solemn expression.
"Since the formula was developed by the city lord himself, then I guess the city lord should also know about the development of tanks and artillery?"
Wangtian City Lord's face became extremely shocked for a moment, and even his eyes widened twice, then turned a little livid again, and asked in a deep voice: "What did you just say? Say it again."
Ming Zhiyuan held the spear horizontally in his hand and protected it on his chest, and continued: "Tanks and artillery, do you have them in your world? I also have them in my world. It's the same planet, right? Lord City Lord?"
City Lord Wangtian stared closely at Ming Zhiyuan, and involuntarily took two steps forward, pushing away a warrior in front of him who was trying to block the danger for him.
"Where are you from?"
Ming Zhiyuan looked at him and nodded.
"How long have you been here?"
"It's been more than twenty years, Lord City Lord, are you sure you still want so many people around to listen to you and me?"
Wangtian City Lord took a few steps back, his face gloomy and uncertain, and after a long time he said: "It seems that you and I should have a detailed discussion. What should I call this person?"
"I'm going to be bright and far-reaching."
"Oh, which big city is Brother Ming from?"
Ming Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment and said: "Senlan City."
City Lord Wangtian narrowed his eyes and said, "Did you go to Niutou Ridge?"
Ming Zhiyuan nodded and said: "Yes, with such a big movement, the smell of gunpowder explosion spreads very far, it is difficult for people not to be suspicious."
Wangtian City Lord's expression gradually began to soften, he glanced at Ming Zhiyuan and the warriors around him, and said: "Brother Ming, why don't you stay tonight and you and I can have a good talk."
Ming Zhiyuan shook his head and said: "I still have friends waiting for me, so I won't waste time with you this time. If the Lord of Wangtian City has anything he wants to say to me, it's the same as talking here."
Wangtian City Master thought for a moment and asked a few people to leave, "Brother Ming came here to check because of the gunpowder issue, or is there something else?"
Ming Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "I heard that the Lord of Wangtian City asked the Lord of Senlan City to marry his youngest daughter, Miss Lan Yujun?"
City Lord Wangtian looked at Ming Zhiyuan, suddenly laughed a few more times, and said: "It turns out it's because of that little beauty. Since Brother Ming has a soft spot for that beauty, I Wangtian will not take it away from you.
, but I have a request. I wonder if Brother Ming is willing to come to Wangtian City.
Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to serve as a retainer or something like that. Lingding Continent is about to attack Tianyuan Continent. By then, with the strength of Wangtian City, we will be able to capture the most resources and territory. If Brother Ming is willing to join Wangtian City, don’t
Let’s talk about the beauty from Senlan City. If you want to occupy a city on your own in Tianyuan Continent in the future, it’s just a trivial matter for me to help Wangtian City. After all, you and I are considered our own people.”
Ming Zhiyuan looked at City Lord Wangtian with complicated eyes, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Let me go back and think about it, how about I give you an answer to the Lord in three days?"
City Lord Wangtian's face froze for a moment, "You already said this is a secret, why do you think I can let you out of this City Lord's Mansion?"
"How long have you been the Lord of Wangtian City? It hasn't been long, right? As far as I know, the first time you fought against Senlan City, you didn't win. The second time you came to the door again, you brought gunpowder.
So, you just recently..."
Ming Zhiyuan did not finish his sentence. After a pause, he looked around at the warriors around him and said, "I think the warriors who remain are all truly loyal to the Lord of Wangtian City."
Wangtian City Lord's eyebrows jumped. Ming Zhiyuan was right. These remaining warriors were indeed extremely loyal to Wangtian City Lord, but he was not the Wangtian City Lord from before.
