Several people with masks nearby couldn't help but be a little stunned when they saw Li Xin'an coming out with so many people.

"Why did you come out with so many soldiers? It's different from what you planned. ”

They were the same people who had been lying in ambush nearby.

Chen Ping quietly made a few gestures, and these people immediately understood what he meant, and pretended to play and scattered, but in fact, they still followed Li Xin'an and them from a distance.

Li Xin'an did not hurry and led everyone to the west of the city.

After walking for a while, the surrounding buildings became more and more old, and the surrounding pedestrians gradually became scarce, and only the footsteps of Li Xin'an and others echoed in the alley.

Li Yan couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and asked, "General, aren't we going to the banquet, but this is the direction to the west of the city?"

"Su Wu" didn't answer, turned around and glared at Li Yan angrily.

Li Yan's hairs stood up all over his body, and he hurriedly knelt down, lowered his head and clenched his fists and begged: "Please atone for the general's sins, blame the villain for talking too much, and question the general's decision in vain." ”

Li Xin'an didn't answer, turned around and continued to move forward.

Chen Ping stood up and helped Li Yan up, put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile: "Haha, the general has his own plans, don't ask too much."

You see the clothes that Captain Tie is wearing, they are in tatters, and he has to go home and change his clothes before he can go to the banquet. ”

Li Yan said a little unnaturally: "Got it, thank you Chen Gongzi for explaining." ”

"Haha, no thanks. ”

He still hugged Li Yan and didn't let go.

At this time, everyone had already walked to the wide open space in the city, and there was a circular flower belt in the center, and it was here that Li Xin'an met Grandpa Zhang.

Looking at this, he couldn't help but miss the old man a little, and said in his heart, "I'm sorry, Grandpa Zhang." I will fulfill your wish and kill all those in power who oppress the masses. ”

It was late at night, all the shops in the neighborhood were closed, and the merchants went to bed early, ready to go to the chamber of commerce tomorrow.

Li Xin'an stopped, and everyone behind him also stopped, standing still in place.

Chen Ping put his arm around Li Yan's shoulder with one hand, and quietly made a gesture with the other, and more than a dozen Zhongzhou people from the surrounding alleys came out of the surrounding alleys, laughing and surrounding everyone.

Tie Lei Shan and Huo Yun Lan walked back, to the back of the line.

Although Li Yan was a little puzzled, he didn't dare to ask any more, so he could only stand in place.

Li Xin'an turned around and looked at the soldiers who were following.

The soldiers immediately stood upright and waited for the "general" to speak.

Li Xin'an finally said the first sentence in front of them.

"Kill!"

A transparent ball appeared in Chen Ping's hand, which was holding Li Yan, and inside was a compressed violent wind roll, which exploded instantly after pressing it to Li Yan's neck.

This is his ability, and Chen Ping is also a third-level transcendent.

Countless wind blades slashed towards his neck, instantly piercing the skin, cutting the arteries in his neck, blood gushing out, Li Yan clutched his neck and fell to the ground, making a helpless "ho-ho" sound.

The defenseless Li Yan died on the spot, and a third-level transcendent fell.

At the moment when Chen Ping made his move, everyone did it at the same time.

Huoyun Lan threw several fireballs at the soldiers, and the soldiers who were contaminated with the fireballs screamed and were burned to black coals.

Tie Lei Mountain completely erupted, surrounded by thunder light, roaring into the crowd and raising a giant sword to slash, like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, whether it was a soldier or a transcendent, he would die if he touched it, and the armor on the soldier's body was like paper paste in front of him.

Li Xin'an, Chen Ping, and Huo Yunlan all stopped their attacks and gathered together, watching Tie Lei Shan slaughter these people, they understood that Tie Lei Shan needed to vent too much.

The remaining soldiers lost their fighting spirit and fled crying.

But the masked people around them had set up an encirclement and killed the soldiers who had escaped from the battle group one by one, and did not let any of them live.

Li Xin'an took out a spear and held it in his hand, and when a soldier ran towards him, he shot him to death.

The soldiers were puzzled, and they did not know until they died why their beloved general would watch themselves being killed, or even kill them, but they would never get an answer.

Two minutes later, all the soldiers were reduced to corpses on the ground, and a small river of blood had gathered on the ground.

Tielei Mountain was covered in blood, which gushed out when the soldiers were chopped.

"Rip off the armor and equipment from these corpses and pile them up. ”

Chen Ping gave orders to those who wore masks.

"Yes!"

These people immediately set out to clean up the battlefield, and in a short time they piled up their equipment.

Chen Ping walked over and took out a few spatial rings and put away all the equipment.

Li Xin'an said to everyone: "Let's go, this is just a small dish, and the big dish is still to come." ”

"Haha, okay. ”

"Good!"

Everyone responded loudly and gathered around Li Xin'an and walked towards the west of the city.

......

At this time, the west of the city was even more chaotic than the gathering place outside the city, and corpses could be seen everywhere on the ground.

Bands of armed soldiers patrolled the area.

At regular intervals, there will be a lit fire that illuminates the surrounding path, and if you look closely, you will see that the fires are burning with human corpses.

Some of the soldiers were piling up the bodies together and then lighting them on fire, and under the light of the flames, the blood-stained ground could be seen around them.

There have been many riots in the west of the city today, but they have all been brutally suppressed by the army, and countless people have been killed and injured.

The remaining residents hid in their homes, muffled weeping echoed the area, and almost every family lost a loved one today.

The soldiers seemed to have no humanity, and when they saw someone gathering, they waved their weapons at them, not even the old man and the child.

A dignified-looking old man in armor stood in the street, laying out orders, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers.

The closest to him was a soldier in golden armor, who whispered to the old man, "Commander, are there too many people killed today?" ”

The old man said sharply: "What is the dissatisfaction?

This damned group of low-class residents dared to riot, and before leaving, the general specially told me that as long as there were any untouchables who dared to resist, they would be killed, and they would be killed until they dared not resist.

The Huo family and the Chen family, hehe, they are also the masters of the family, and the rest are wine bags and rice bags, so there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

The golden-armored soldier flattered and said, "The general is mighty!

"Hahaha, that's of course, I have followed the Su family since I was young, and I grew up watching the general, and the Su family is the real nobles of Frost City!"

......

The castle on the shores of the thermal lake is filled with lights and music.

The halls of the castle were decorated with gold, and caravans from Zhongzhou and nobles from Frost City were changing glasses, chatting with each other about upcoming deals.

Food and wine are constantly delivered to their tables.

In the middle of the hall, a group of beautiful girls from Frost City were dancing hotly, and some young people from Zhongzhou were encouraged to join them.

Delicious food, cheerful music, and hot dancing make the castle full of cheerful atmosphere and laughter.

At a long table in the far north of the hall sat five people, who were the real protagonists of today's banquet.

An old man who was old but still in good spirits sat at the main seat of the long table, holding wine, looking at the young people dancing in the field, and sighed with a smile: "Haha, it's good to be young." ”

On the side of him sat a young man with starry eyes, a straight nose, and knife-like eyebrows, who were none other than Zhou Qian, the leader of the caravan this time.

On the left side sat Su Wu, who had snow-white eyebrows and deep-set eyes.

Sitting next to Su Wu was a middle-aged man with a serious and meticulous face, Chen Ze, the head of the Chen family.

Sitting next to Zhou Qian was a bold man who was dressed lightly and exposed his chest muscles, and the head of the Fire Family, Huo Xiuneng.

Zhou Qian said with a smile: "Uncle Shuang is old and strong, and his charm is extraordinary, my father often talks to me about you, and today I see that this is really the case." ”

"Hahaha, the virtuous nephew is really good at talking, your father and I have been friends for many years, how can I let you come alone this year. ”

Zhou Gan's face showed pathos, and he replied: "The demon clan led other races to attack the six countries of the human race on a large scale, seizing a large area of land in the six countries, and the six countries of Zhongzhou formed a coalition army to recover the lost territory, and my father also led the army to join the coalition army to fight the demon race.

My second and third uncles went to several other more dangerous places to trade,

Frost City is still safe, so they sent me to lead a caravan to trade, hoping to buy some strategic materials to equip our soldiers and defeat the demons. ”

The four heads of the family looked at each other, all a little surprised.

The city lord exclaimed: "Demon clan, I didn't expect the six kingdoms of Zhongzhou to encounter such a disaster.

The demons are really hateful, I don't know what materials the virtuous nephew needs, as long as the frost city has it, it will definitely be fully supported. ”

Zhou Qian stood up and bowed deeply to the four family masters, and said, "Then I will thank the four uncles in advance."

There is one race of demons that is the most brutal, called the Centaur Demon Race.

The speed of the centaur demon clan is extremely fast, and the war horse breeds in Zhongzhou are poor, so it is difficult to catch up with them. I hope Uncle Frost can sell us a thousand Snow Cloud Horses and let us form a cavalry team. ”

The city lord's face changed slightly, and he said: "The virtuous nephew doesn't know, the Xueyun Horse was originally a Xuan-level beast that survived by the hot spring lake, and was later domesticated by the ancestors.

However, breeding is still only possible near the hot springs, and the birth rate is extremely low, with only about 100 foals born each year.

Now there are only more than 2,000 adult Snow Cloud Horses in the entire Frost City, which really can't be sold on a large scale.

If your nephew really wants it, I can give you ten snow cloud horses to play with. ”

Zhou Gan's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "It's okay, the war horse will not be shown for the time being."

I don't know if we can sell us some grain, but we have lost a lot of land this year, and there will definitely be a shortage of food next year.

I see that there are thousands of acres of fertile land outside the frost city, and the grain output must be very high, and I hope that more will be sold this year, and I am willing to buy it at three times the price. ”

The city lord looked at Huo Xiu Neng and Chen Ze, and said with a smile: "Most of those fields belong to these two, as long as they nod their heads, they will definitely be able to solve the danger of food shortage in Da Zhou." ”

Huo Xiu Neng took a sip of the liquor and said, "Most of the items grown in my fields are fruits, spices and other items, and we used to trade these things, so we really can't provide food. ”

Zhou Qian raised his glass in greeting: "Uncle Huo, I'm sorry, luxury goods such as spices will be reduced by some purchases this year. ”

Then he looked at Chen Ze.

Chen Ze said coldly: "Five times the price, pay with the pill and the emperor's tool, I will sell you five times the grain in the past." ”

Huo Xiuneng and the others all looked at Chen Ze incredulously.

Only Zhou Qian's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Then thank you Uncle Chen." ”

The city lord was obviously stimulated by this huge profit, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what else the virtuous nephew needs." ”

Zhou Qian continued: "A large amount of ore and refining equipment are still needed to cast equipment, and I don't know if Uncle Shuang is ready to do so." ”

The city lord smiled happily and said, "Haha, it's ready."

Last year, I ordered to intensify ore mining, and many new minerals were discovered, and now nearly 1,000 tons of ore of all levels and types have been piled up in warehouses, and thousands of tons of ore have been piled up in mines outside the city, which have not yet been shipped.

My hunting team hunted everywhere and had already amassed a huge amount of refining equipment.

I don't know how the virtuous nephew pays with double the price, and you can pay with pills or slaves. ”

Zhou Gan's face changed slightly, he raised his wine glass and took a sip, and said with a smile: "Haha, there is no traitor or businessman, Uncle Shuang is really more like a businessman than me." It's just that there's a lot of money involved, and I'll have to go back and think about it. ”

The city lord didn't care about Zhou Qian's changes, and said with a smile: "This is natural. ”

The lord was not afraid to annoy the caravan and cut off the trade.

Because Zhongzhou has very few minerals, it can only rely on Frost City, which is rich in resources and can be completely self-sufficient.

Therefore, the caravan could only come to trade with Frost City, especially in this time of war, it was impossible for the Zhongzhou caravan to be rash.

After the city lord finished speaking, the wine table fell silent, and everyone was secretly thinking.

At this moment, the old man who had been sent by the city lord to guard Tielei Mountain walked into the hall and came back to report to the city lord.

When he saw Su Wuhou, he froze for a moment, and hurriedly ran to the city lord's ear and whispered a few words, and the city lord's face immediately changed.

The originally triumphant face turned shocked and angry, and there was some faint fear, and he looked at Su Wu with a little doubt.

Then he whispered a few words into the old man's ear, the old man nodded, came to Su Wu's ear, and said a few words to Su Wu's ear.

Su Wu's complexion changed faintly, but he was quickly pressed down, and his face was like a flat lake.

He stood up and clenched his fists and said, "You guys continue to eat and drink, I have some things to deal with, go first." ”

Zhou Qian responded with a fist: "Okay General Su, I'll visit the house another day." ”

Huo Xiuneng and Chen Ze also said goodbye to Su Wu.

Su Wu turned to leave.

The city lord took a large piece of meat and ate it, took another sip of strong wine, and his face finally returned to normal, and he continued to beckon everyone to eat and drink.

"Come, eat, taste this silverhorn wild boar, it's very fragrant. ”

"Good!"

"Sure enough!"

Everyone responded and continued to eat, drink, and laugh.

The wine table seems to have a lively atmosphere, but in fact, it has its own ghosts.

Chen Ze and Huo Xiu could glance at each other, both of them were a little puzzled, and they didn't know what was going on.

Zhou Qian pretended to concentrate on tasting food and wine, but his eyes were quietly looking at a few people.

......
