Chapter 90: The End (continued)
"Senior Brother He, is it necessary to be so serious?" A lean young man beside He Wuyong listened to his reminder and said nonchalantly.
"That's it, a bunch of wild people, ants-like beings, what threat can there be?"
"But Qiu Xuan Ancestor said, let us be careful......" A timid voice sounded quietly, and then after being glared at, he obediently closed his mouth.
"Hmph, if you're afraid of death, you can't go, Senior Brother He, don't be a gutless rat!" the lean young man who spoke first reprimanded.
"That is, what senior brother is here, and what danger can there be?"
"Not bad! Not bad! With Senior Brother He's cultivation in the late stage of foundation building right away, how could there be danger in front of a bunch of ants!"
Although, I don't know how much I've heard of such sycophants, but after being praised a few times, He Wuyong's pretended to be plain face still inevitably had a little self-satisfaction.
"Okay, don't make any noise! To be honest, this is the first time I have come out, and when I was about to go out, the old man asked me to pay more attention to the wild people in the outside world. Although I don't believe that these savages can do anything to us, but since the old man has been nagging for so long, it is still necessary after all, let's not think so much, let's go and see first!" He Wuyong stopped the noise of his gang, remembering his advice before going out, he still remained somewhat cautious.
Everyone stopped arguing and walked briskly towards the west gate of Shengzhou City.
At the beginning of the war in Shengzhou City, there was still a large army on the city wall, and it was originally forbidden to enter and exit, but after Xu Chen came back, he learned about the situation outside the city from the Dingxing Astrolabe, so he boldly ordered that the people were allowed to enter and exit freely, in order to lure the snake out of the hole.
But in order to prevent the rebels from mixing in, and at the same time sending capable people to guard the four gates, once there are suspicious characters, they will secretly control them, although it is difficult to guarantee this, but now Xu Chen's henchmen are a group of cultivators outside the city, and they can only be arranged like this under the trade-off.
Fortunately, on this day, the six people who were walking towards the west gate did not live up to the risk Xu Chen had taken.
All the guards of the West Gate were replaced by Xu Chen's brothers, who had been guarding the city since the siege battle a few days ago, and even if the cultivators outside the city acted cautiously, they would never be able to detect the slightest abnormality.
He Wuyong led five followers and walked into this savage city with a hint of caution and a hint of novelty.
The main street, which leads directly to the West Gate, is densely packed with warehouses on both sides, and most of the goods shipped from the western counties are delivered here. Before the war, it was a place of carriages and horses, lively and extraordinary, since the Yangzhou rebellion spread all over the south, business and trade exchanges were much rarer, a few days ago, the rebels blatantly attacked the city, these warehouses and trading houses in the west gate have closed their doors, and the shops do not know where to run to take refuge.
But since Xu Chen came back, the two rows of trading houses and warehouses at the west gate have reopened. Although the flow of goods is not as good as in the heyday, it can be regarded as a busy traffic, wheelbarrows, horse-drawn carriages, mule carts come and go, a large group of laborers are busy unloading, three or two men are shouting hysterically, and the shopkeeper in fine clothes is leisurely drinking tea in his own shop, pointing outside from time to time and scolding twice.
He Wuyong and others who walked into the city were the first time to see such a lively savage city, and it was night when they went to Yuzhang City, and Yuzhang City was disturbed by war, so naturally there was no such prosperous appearance.
"Senior brother, don't say it, this savage's city is quite lively!" A group of people grew up in the sect when they were young, Kunlun advocates asceticism, and the disciples in the sect pay more attention to pure cultivation, although there are many people in the sect, but most of them are immersed in penance, such as the busy and lively scene in front of them, which is rare in the sect.
"Senior brother, why don't we go and find something new and interesting first? It's hard to come out once, if it's not fun, I'm afraid there will be few opportunities in the future!"
"That's it! That's it! Every time the sect is sent to an assignment, it's basically not our turn, and the next time we think about it, I don't know when it will be!"
"How do you speak? You know how to play one by one! Senior brother is still in a hurry to rescue Senior Sister Ling'er!" The lean young man pretended to reprimand, and looked at He Wuyong with a pair of fiery eyes, and said with a flattering smile: "Senior brother, otherwise, let's search all the way from here, since we search, we must take our time, otherwise, if we miss it, wouldn't it be a pity?"
"Forehead......" He Wuyong pondered for a moment, looked at the expectant eyes of all the junior disciples, and had no choice but to say solemnly: "It's okay, just do it! Let go of your divine sense all the way, and once you find something, report it immediately!"
"Great!"
"Don't worry, senior brother!"
ā¦ā¦
When a crowd heard this, they all rejoiced.
Not far away, on the second floor of a building, Lu Hao stared at the two people on the street, turned his head to Xu Chen and said, "Big brother, it seems that they won't be separated, why don't you do it now?"
Xu Chen thought for a moment and nodded heavily.
A faint code came out, and on the street, an "old man" pushing a wheelbarrow seemed to be overwhelmed, and slanted towards a carriage in front of him!
"Bang!", the wheels of the wheelbarrow cracked in an instant, and the body rushed towards the bottom of the carriage along the inertia!
The body of the "Yu Yu ......" wheelbarrow with the goods on the carriage firmly jammed the wheels of the carriage, and the horse that was running fast was suddenly pulled back, its hooves raised high, and the man stood up.
The handlebars on the carriage tried to stabilize the frightened horse, but the horse suddenly went berserk.
"Smack!" There was a loud bang, and the horse struggled to one side, and the carriage immediately fell to one side, and the carriage instantly smashed to the ground, splashing dust all over the sky!
"Fuck, what the hell!"
"What's wrong?
"Woo...... Stop! Stop!"
ā¦ā¦
On the street, with the occurrence of this car accident, the convoy of people coming and going suddenly became a mess, and the shopkeeper and the guys in the store also hurriedly ran out.
"Damn! what's going on!" In the face of the sudden change, He Wuyong and the others stopped.
They couldn't help but stop, and the chaos around them surrounded everyone in an instant!
"Not good!" He Wuyong was not completely useless in the end, and after being surrounded by carriages and horses for a while, he felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart, and then yelled: "Everyone be careful!"
But before his voice could be heard, it was drowned out by an overwhelming noise......
"Boom ......"
On the carriage, the goods that rolled down next to He Wuyong and the others exploded in an instant!
The black smoke in the sky instantly drowned several people!
Before the sound of the explosion subsided, the sound of uniform footsteps sounded in the shop pù on both sides, and the teenagers holding huge shields walked out of the shop, and as the teenagers advanced, the sound of "whoosh" was endless, and the crossbows and bows were constantly fired, and the crossbows and arrows made of fine iron rained down on He Wuyong and the others!
And in the carriages of those carriages on the street, there was a "click" sound, and the miniature version of the ballista was pushed out of the launch port by the teenagers!
The fire, medicine bag, hand, and thunder were not stingy and threw towards He Wuyong and the others.
The carriage and floor of the carriage were made of thickened steel plates, and before being fired, four thick steel bars were driven into the dirt with the triggering of the mechanism, keeping the entire carriage stable. The explosion did not shake the carriage in the slightest.
These carriages are all mechanical artifacts designed by Lu Zhi, weighing more than a thousand catties, but when pulling, they can transfer the lateral friction, without consuming too much strength of the horses, and some sturdy mules and horses are enough to do the job.
Wave after wave of attacks continued to attack He Wuyong and the others, this time Xu Chen was unable to dig such a trap on the street because of lack of time, there was no closed environment, as long as the amount of gunpowder was increased, not to mention, the number of enemies this time was also several times that of the last time.
ā¦ā¦
As soon as the explosion in Shengzhou City sounded, Xiahou Yue, who had just gotten the news outside the city, turned his head sharply and looked at the cities up and down!
"Senior Brother Xiahou, this voice ......" The young man was shocked for a while when he heard such an earth-shattering sound coming from the bottom of the mountain.
"Why Wuyong, something happened to them!" The trace of uneasiness in Xia Houyue's heart suddenly settled down after hearing such a loud noise, as if her wandering heart had settled down all of a sudden. Consciously told him, if Senior Brother Yun and the others really had an accident, it must have a lot to do with this sound under the mountain!
"Xiao Zhen!" Xia Houyue looked at the young man and said solemnly to him: "You immediately go back to the original place now, and tell the ancestor and the master, just say that Senior Brother Yun and the others were all killed, and the enemy has a weapon that can make an earth-shattering sound!"
"What, senior brother, ......" When the young man heard Xiahou Yue's words at first glance, he couldn't react for a while.
"Don't be verbose! Go back quickly! I'll take someone down the mountain to pick up He Wuyong now, you must tell the ancestor and the head of the sect what happened here, otherwise the senior brother will die!" Xia Houyue said more and more loudly, and at the end he almost roared.
The young man's reaction was not slow, and when he heard his senior brother arrange this, his heart was sad: "Senior brother......"
Ignoring the mist in the corner of the young man's eyes, Xia Houyue brutally pushed it away and shouted, "Hurry up!"
In the first month of the thirteenth year of Tianbao, An Lushan came to the court, tasted the secret music, and Yunlu Mountain had the opposite. Xuanzong didn't listen. In November of the fourteenth year, Lushan rebelled and called the soldiers. In December, Ding Wei fell into Tokyo. Xin Chou, the crown prince supervised the country, and still sent the army of the pro-general to discuss. Shi Lushan was named after Yang Guozhong, and the soldiers and civilians cut their teeth at the Yang family. The country is loyal and afraid, but it is a matter of conspiring with the noble concubine, and it is not possible to do it. He summoned Hexi Jiedu to make Ge Shuhan the marshal of the crown prince's forward soldiers and horses, and ordered him to lead 200,000 people to guard Tongguan.
