Chapter 43: The Beginning
The front of the Xiao Mansion was heavily guarded.
Wei Lai walked to the door of the Xiao Mansion, and in the distance, several armor soldiers dressed in white armor and hanging feathers from their waists leaned over and said loudly: "Xiao Mu is important, idlers should not enter." β
Wei Lai's footsteps did not stop, the face on his face was cold, and he said sharply: "I want to meet Commander Xiao!"
The night was too dark, and the armorers of Cang Yuwei couldn't see the face of the comer, but from the other party's tone and non-stop footsteps, they could probably feel the murderous intent that permeated Wei Lai's body.
Their faces suddenly became solemn, dozens of people took a posture, took off the Shenji crossbow on their backs, and the fierce feather arrows were wound, and the cold edge pointed directly at Wei Lai, wanting to intimidate the comers.
But what disappointed them was that the other party's footsteps still did not mean to stagnate at all, and the person in charge had a cold face, did not hesitate, and shouted: "Release the arrow!"
Although Cang Yuwei is notorious in Dayan, the armor soldiers who can be selected into Cang Yuwei can afford the word elite, and the order is forbidden, nothing more.
As soon as the commander said this, he only heard the sound of "Xiu Xiu Xiu" breaking through the sky, and the fiery feather arrow cut through the night, dragging the wings of fire, and rushed straight to Wei Lai.
Seeing those feather arrows flying in, they were killed in front of Wei Lai's door in an instant, but Wei Lai's footsteps did not mean to stagnate at all, and he even had the slightest intention of evading.
He shouted, "Evil spirit!"
Four dark green huge humanoid creatures suddenly appeared on both sides of Wei Lai, each holding a huge long sword in their hands, only to see that they had just condensed their figures, and each of them waved the long sword in their hand, the seemingly huge body did not look bulky at all, and the long sword was danced vigorously in their hands, blocking all those fierce feather arrows that burst out.
Boom! Boom!
A loud roar rang out, and all those feathered arrows exploded, and dust rose for a while.
The leader of the Cangyu Guard obviously felt the powerful aura that permeated Wei Lai's body, and he did not stop giving orders to everyone, one arrow fell from the armorers, and the other Burning Feather Arrow was already wound, but in less than ten breaths, the Cangyu Guards shot all the Fierce Feather Arrows in the quiver.
Under such a number of intensive bombardments, even the monks of the Four Realms had to be hated on the spot. But the commander was still a little uneasy, and motioned for everyone to keep in line and prepare for the best battle, while his eyes were fixed on the fog that spread out in front of him, trying to see what was going on.
One breath.
Two breaths.
......
It wasn't until dozens of breaths passed that the fog in front of him gradually dispersed, and the man could finally see the situation in the fog. The stone slabs of the street were blown away, and the rubble fell to the ground, but the only figure was nowhere to be seen.
Dead?
He thought secretly in his heart, but he always felt uneasy, and looked at the fog with a calm brow for a long time, until after the scene of Baixi, he finally made sure that he had not missed anything, thinking that the guy had been shattered into corpses under the repeated bombardment of the feather arrows.
He scolded himself for being too cautious, and said, "Go and see if that guy has anything left, and it's best to find out who it is." β
He said this, but the armor soldiers behind him did not have the slightest intention of acting.
"What's the matter? I don't want to do it......" The man, who was accustomed to dictating to his subordinates, was a little dissatisfied, and scolded in his mouth, and turned around.
A face appeared behind him, and he looked at him with a smile and said, "Are you looking for me?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and fear was spreading in his heart, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the dozens of Cangyu Guard's armor soldiers who were standing behind him at this moment, all of them falling on the steps in front of the Xiao Mansion.
He reacted immediately, and at the stall where he was looking for the figure of the comer, the other party was already in the fog
For the barrier, he came to the rear and slaughtered dozens of Cangyu guards.
But how did the other party kill so many Cang Yuwei in such a short period of time, without a sound?
The man couldn't figure it out.
Of course, he didn't have a chance to dwell on it anymore.
For in the next moment, a black dagger fell from the man's cuff, and with a stroke on his neck, he fell forever with such doubts.
......
Wei Lai walked to the door of the Xiao Mansion with corpses all over the ground and the blood flowing down the steps, and before he could reach out and push the door, the door of the Xiao Mansion opened by itself.
Xiao Mu and Xiao Meng, the two brothers, were walking forward.
It turned out that the Xiao family's family hid in the crack of the door and saw clearly that the person who came was Wei Lai, and he was shrewd and hurriedly went to the mansion to find Xiao Mu. The family looked frightened, lowered his head and retreated to the side.
And Xiao Meng, one of the Xiao family brothers, was embarrassed by Hu Le and his elderly grandmother with everyone in the Tianque Realm, but Wei Lai stirred up the matter, which not only made him punished, but also lost the opportunity to go to the Tianque Realm. He had already held a grudge against Wei Lai in his heart, and when he saw this scene, he was even more furious, pointing at Wei Lai and asking, "What are you doing?"
Wei Lai didn't bother to look at him, and asked Xiao Mu, "What about Commander Xiao?"
Xiao Mu didn't understand why Wei Lai was so reckless, but he still said truthfully: "After dinner, my father was called by someone from the State Pastor's Mansion, saying that the State Pastor had something to look for him, and he has not come back yet. β
Wei Lai's brows furrowed when he heard this answer, he couldn't be sure if all this was a coincidence, but he was always faintly uneasyβwhat did his grandfather want to do?
However, this is not the time to delve into this matter at this moment, and he said again: "I need your help to mobilize the Zixiao Army of the Yunzi Battalion, quickly." β
"Who do you think you are? The soldiers and horses of my Xiao family are about to be called with a word? The state pastor is not dead yet, do you really regard yourself as a small state pastor? What's more, even if the state pastor is really unfortunate that something has happened, it is not clear who Ningzhou will have the last surname!" Before Xiao Mu could respond, Xiao Meng on the side said angrily, and his dissatisfaction with Wei Lai was beyond words.
Syllable!
A crisp sound fell with Xiao Meng's words and opened in front of the door of the Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Meng covered his hot side face and looked at Wei Lai incredulously, he never imagined that Wei Lai would dare to slap him in front of so many people.
"You!" he was furious and wanted to step forward.
But before he took a step, a hand was between him and Wei Lai. Xiao Meng was stunned, but saw that the person who made the shot was actually his brother Xiao Mu!
"Xiao Mu, what are you doing, do you want to help outsiders......" Xiao Meng roared angrily.
"Meng'er, you should grow up, take a good look at this world, this Ningzhou, from the moment the Xiao family decided to stay, you have long lost the capital to mess around. Xiao Mu said in a calm voice.
Xiao Meng was obviously a little afraid of his brother, his face changed, he didn't dare to say more, covered his face and glanced at Wei Lai angrily, and then retreated sullenly.
Xiao Mu looked at Wei Lai again and asked, "What happened?"
Wei Laiyan said: "It's a long story, you go to the Yunzi Battalion to transfer troops first, and I will go to the State Pastor's Mansion to meet the State Mu, and I will contact you later, be careful." β
Xiao Mu understood that with Wei Lai's temperament, if the wind was very urgent, he would never do such a reckless thing, he didn't ask much, nodded and was about to be.
"I'm afraid that Gongzi doesn't have time to meet the state pastor. But at this moment, a voice came from Wei
Wei Lai looked back, but saw that Di Xiu had come behind him at some point.
At this moment, the man was stained with blood on his face and body, and his expression was a little embarrassed.
Wei Lai's heart was shocked and asked, "What's the matter?"
Di Xiu smiled bitterly: "Dereliction of duty, the Bai family, the Gu family and other seven clans rioted almost at the same time, a total of thousands of people in the mansion have changed like Bai Gongzi, I summoned all the dark disks in Ning Xiao City, and only temporarily retained the majority, but there are still dozens of mutated clansmen of the seven clans rushed out." β
"At this moment, Sun Gongzi is chasing and killing those fleeing Seven Clansmen alone, but he is weak, and I don't have too many people in my hands to call him, those mutant corpses have caused a riot in Xicheng, many people are injured, and they are incompetent, so they can only come to urge Gongzi. β
Wei Lai's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard this, and after knowing about Bai Tongpao, he realized that there must be someone behind this, and the culprit was very likely to be Jin Buyun and his party. But he didn't have any evidence, so he didn't necessarily get the slightest benefit even if he went to the door, so he could only temporarily stabilize the people of the Seven Clans who might be carrying corpse qi.
But I don't want to be a step too late, the corpse qi of the seven clans exploded at the same time, and it was really difficult for the manpower of most of the Dark Xiao Army to support them against such a large number of seven clansmen.
"Uncle Di doesn't have to blame himself, the plan for now is to solve the trouble in front of him first, and I will rush to the west of the city to kill those corpses. You send some hidden disks to search for traces of human corpses, and at the same time control the people who are injured by them in order to prevent accidents. Wei Lai said this, and then looked at Xiao Muyan and said, "I'm tired of Brother Xiao to mobilize the Zixiao Army quickly, and also send someone to the State Pastor's Mansion to talk to the State Pastor and the Grand Commander about this matter." β
"This matter is very important, and a little carelessness is enough to make my Ning Xiao City miserable, and I must not have the slightest luck. With that, Wei turned around again and walked briskly into the night to capture the bodies of those who had escaped.
Xiao Mu was still a little confused about the current situation, but he could also see the urgency of the situation, he ordered the family to deal with the corpses of Cang Yuwei in front of him, and led Xiao Meng, who was still in the hair, to walk out of the Xiao Mansion and dare to go to the military camp to transfer people.
......
Wei Lai urged the spiritual power in his body to the extreme, Di Xiu followed behind, and looked sideways at the young man, but saw that his face was gloomy and terrifying, and there was anger in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn everything.
He didn't want to upset him, but he still had to say: "Childe, I'm afraid the other party's method is aimed at the state pastor, Childe should be careful." β
Wei Lai was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked, "How is the situation in the State Pastoral Mansion?"
"As soon as the son left, I sent someone to the state pastor's mansion to deliver the news, but there was also a heavy guard of Cangyuwei, and I didn't dare to guarantee whether the news could be handed in. Flute replied.
"No need. Wei Lai shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Which thing in Ningxiao City can hide from his ears and eyes, he still doesn't make a move, he has his own considerations, it's just ......"
"I really can't figure out what kind of consideration can make him ignore the life and death of the millions of people in Ningxiao City. β
Di Xiu heard a little anger from Wei Lai's words, and he asked, "Since Gongzi has doubts, why didn't he personally ask Lord Zhou Mu in the past?"
Wei Lai, who was walking briskly, was stunned when he heard this, and his figure stagnated slightly. He suddenly realized that even if the misunderstanding with Jiang Huanshui was cleared up, he never seemed to have an open and honest talk with him, and many questions were just a matter of taste......
Both of them care about each other, but this kind of care always has the flavor of mutual temptation.
Perhaps, the old man is also waiting for him to completely open his heart and talk to him.
Such thoughts made Wei Lai inexplicably a little uneasy, and he said in a deep voice: "When the trouble in front of me is solved, I will have a good chat with him in person." β
