Chapter 196: Earthquake (II)

Twilight felt the smooth round stone under the sarcophagus and pulled violently, and suddenly there was a landslide and the ground cracked, and the boulder in the cave, including the sarcophagus, was carried by the huge air flow and rushed into the air, and Twilight Feather hugged the sarcophagus tightly and rushed into the air ...... at once.

The ceremony that had just started was suddenly chaotic, "There was an earthquake, there was an earthquake, there was an earthquake, and ..... The crowd shouted quickly and the only passage behind them swarmed away.......

But at this time, this valley, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, suddenly broke and sank downward, and the rocks on three sides also slammed down into this valley, and a heat wave gushed out from the bottom of the mountain, and huge stones smashed into the crowd, and the shouts of panic, the whistling sound of the stones smashing, and the rumbling sound of the heat wave gushing out from the ground, were intertwined.

Those chivalrous men with good skills dodged the flying rocks and stepped on their feet again and again. The Anglo soldiers, who relied on the power of the fire system, screamed, and were smashed into the ground by layers of flying stones, and the red spots left on the ground became smaller and ......smaller.

Twilight feathers stepped on the flying stones and leaped forward.

Dozens of Anglos and dozens of martial arts swordsmen standing in the back were the first to escape from the fall zone, and just rushed to the edge of the woods at the intersection, a burst of arrows in the woods shot like flying locusts, and the Anglo soldiers raised their guns in a panic to shoot, and due to the lack of unified command, the power was greatly reduced, only a few swordsmen were killed and wounded, and most of these soldiers were killed or wounded.

The subsidence zone continued to expand, and the heat wave also rushed in waves, and the soldiers in ambush in the woods rushed out of the woodland in a panic.

Twilight Feather found Jiang Wan and Jiang Yue who were looking around on the side of the road, "Wanyu, quickly retreat", Twilight Feather shouted eagerly.

"However, I haven't seen the lord yet", Jiang Wan and Jiang Yue were in tears, standing there motionless.

"I saw some people flying up the hills on both sides, and the lord was so good at martial arts that he should be fine," comforted Twilight.

The heat wave came, dozens of swordsmen, and a dozen or so Anglo soldiers dressed in red flashed in front of their eyes, and they didn't care about attacking each other at this time, so it was naturally important to flee for their lives.

Seeing the heat wave, it seemed that the body was about to melt, and if he didn't leave, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave, so Twilight Feather hugged one in one hand and left here quickly.

According to later local chronicles, on October 26, the 26th year of Longxi, a deep subsidence occurred in the west of Kangmu City, and nearly 2,000 people gathered here all died here except for a few who escaped.

Qianduyu took Jiang Wan and Jiang Yue just approached Kangmu Town, and saw a standard cavalry flash out, surrounding dozens of swordsmen and Anglo soldiers who had escaped, and it was a burst of slashing, commanding Zhizhou Lin Tongshui, who had just escaped.

Qian Dui Yu took Jiang Wan and Jiang Yue to avoid the head-on contact with the troops brought by Lin Zhizhou, and looked for traces of the bright moon night along the perimeter of the small fault zone.

The three hills were almost leveled, and there were still traces of white smoke rising from the ground.

"Look, what is that", the sharp-eyed Jiang Yue pointed to a few trees not far away, and a yellow figure flashed and flickered.

The three of them quickly ran over, "It's the lord's sacrificial costume," Jiang Wan said loudly. The yellow ceremonial dress for the sky, the phoenix crown and the curtain are hanging on the branches of the tree and swinging in the wind.

"The lord is out of danger, let's look for it", Jiang Wan Jiang Yue revealed surprise, "The lord, the lord ......", the voice floated between the mountains and forests.

At this time, it was past noon, and three people with dry mouths were sitting on the edge of a cliff, and a group of rats and hares flashed in front of them and disappeared into the woods. "These little beings are also looking for a new place to settle down," Jiang said to himself.

"Before the great cause is accomplished, the lord must also find a new place to hibernate and wait for the coming day", Qianduyu said in a gentle tone, thinking about the possible whereabouts of the lord, "The lord has not explained to you what happened after that."

"By the way, the lord said yesterday that if things change, turn back to West Kunlun as soon as possible", Jiang Yue said with an understanding, "Could it be that the lord has really left ahead of schedule."

"Let's go, let's go to West Kunlun", Jiang Wan suddenly stood up, and as she spoke, she was about to move forward.

"West Kunlun", Qian Duyu asked rhetorically, thinking of the upcoming operation in Xianggui, the righteous brother Yinzhen was still waiting for his return, "Where is West Kunlun, when I finish some things, I will go to look for you, and it is also my long-cherished wish for many years to be able to visit Kunlun Ancestor."

"At the western foot of Kunlun Mountain, stop at Fengtai", Jiang Yue said with some disappointment, "My brother can't live up to the lord's heart for you", speaking of this, Jiang Yue was a little teary-eyed.

Twilight Feather took out the two ingots of gold she was carrying, "Let's go, it's a long way, buy two horses, it will be faster, we'll have a period later, don't leave it at that."

Jiang Wan and Jiang Yue turned around a few steps, with a little reluctance, and gradually disappeared at the far end of the road.

Looking at the former beacon tower, which had been razed to the ground at this time, "The so-called founding and division of Kangmu was so inadvertently wiped out, and the more than 1,000 Angles who traveled across the ocean to try to occupy the territory of other countries were buried in the ground in an instant, and it is also clear that the attempt to occupy other people's homes will not succeed", Qian Duyu thought.

I thought that the knob under the sarcophagus would only cause this mountain range to collapse, but I didn't expect it to cause the subsidence of the valley, it must be the leakage of ground qi under the valley, causing the valley to continue to settle, and the nearby mountains lost their balance and caused the whole to collapse, but this is still very different from a real earthquake, Qianduyu thought to herself.

Rushing back to Kangmu Town, there are few pedestrians in the town, and it is already three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, "General Qian, Li Garrison has been looking for you for a long time", a patrol lieutenant said in surprise.

"Li Shoubei", Qian Duyu asked rhetorically.

"Li Quanyou, a disciple of Kunlun Daxia, General Qian may not know me anymore, I am Liu Qingtao of the Huangshan faction", the lieutenant reminded softly.

"I remembered that Liu Qingtao, who competed with the Huangshan faction on the top of Shu Mountain", Qian Duyu suddenly realized.

"It's Xiao Ke, the general has a good memory", Li Qingtao said and walked into the yamen of the state capital with Qian Duyu. "Thousands of generals, there is a loss of welcome", and it is Lin Tongshui of Kangmu Zhizhou who comes out.

"I didn't expect you to return so quickly", Qian Duyu looked at Lin Tongshui with a tired face, and said with concern.

"Chitose Lord cares about your safety, we didn't stay, and directly rushed back with 3,000 cavalry, I thought there would be a fierce battle, but who knew that it would be so effortless, thanks to this earthquake, otherwise, we still don't have a decisive victory against the Anglo foreign guns", although Lin Tongshui's face was full of difficulties, he still spoke a lot when he saw Qianduyu.

"General Qian, I've tired you", a familiar voice floated from behind him, it was Li Quanyou. "Congratulations on the promotion of the garrison, and the future Kang Mu will all rely on the assistance of the garrison", Qian Duyu looked at Li Quanyou, who had grown up quickly, and there was both ridicule and encouragement in his words.

"Master Chitose, please return to the mountain city as soon as possible, the situation in the south is tense, and you can't serve the general left and right in the future, it's very reluctant", Li Quanyou's words revealed a deep attachment.

"You and Lin Zhizhou work together to build Kangmu and protect the frontier for the empire, this burden is not light, naturally we have to work hard to bear it, as for us to meet in the future, the coming day is long, we will set off tomorrow morning", Qian Duyu finally said.
