Chapter 348: Citi Falls

After a long time, the frightened hearts of the three of them slowly calmed down, and they were not as panicked as before. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Sun Yueling took a deep breath and asked, "How is my master?" In fact, he knew in his heart that Li Ruobing had already hung up, and the ending was very obvious, either broken or crossed, all in all, I am afraid that he will never be seen again in this world.

But he is still a little difficult to accept, although his master has not taught him much, and he has little to mention, but after all, the two have had a pure and friendly master-apprentice relationship, have had a difficult time together, and have had some good years of mutual support, so Li Ruobing's death has more or less left a shadow in his heart.

"Elder Li...... Li Lao will definitely not survive......" Dongfang Shengping choked up, with a sad look on his face.

Even Yan Nantian sighed and said, "I'm afraid that Elder Li and Xiong Sifei have died together, and the cloud pillar that rose into the sky just now is the result of their exhaustion of their whole body and fighting each other......"

Sun Yueling groaned and said, "It's unimaginable, the two of them fighting with all their strength, coupled with the explosion of Wang Gongchang, can produce such a terrifying effect......" Speaking of this, he was suddenly taken aback, and said, "I don't know what happened to Han Qianshui and Mu Wan?" ”

Yan Nantian said: "What the Hui Master said is right, we'd better go back and take a look, the energy emitted by the shock wave and the cupola just now is extremely amazing, and they are very likely to be harmed." ”

The three of them didn't speak again, straightened their clothes and ran towards Shifu Horse Street.

Along the way, floating corpses can still be seen skimming the air, falling into rain, and the whole mirror image is unbearable, which makes people palpitate. In particular, countless houses have collapsed, large trees have risen from the roots, and there is erosion as far as the eye can see; The survivors of the street were even more frightened and looked like dirt, both men and women were naked and hurriedly covered up; Even the nearby elephant house has collapsed, and the elephants in captivity inside are scurrying through the streets, running and screaming, and they don't know how many lives they have trampled on.

The whole street and alleys were in a mess, and there were countless dead and wounded, but I am afraid that half of Fucaifang was destroyed in this great change.

Unexpectedly, the explosion of Wang Gong's factory caused such a big disaster, and the three of them couldn't help but secretly rejoice, it was a great blessing that they were able to be unharmed. In fact, Sun Yueling knew better than Yan Nantian and Dongfeng's life that the reason why they were okay was perhaps because they were on the edge of the shock wave, neither the center nor the periphery, so they suffered the least damage; Those who were on the outskirts were not so lucky, and under the impact of this terrifying shock wave, they were either killed or injured, and many of them were swept directly into the air, and they were thrown somewhere.

When they came to Shijuma Street, the scene in front of them was really not much better, the beams and rafters and tile windows of the triple courtyard of the Fenghua Society's secret house were scattered like mud, and the courtyard walls on all sides were decaying and broken, and they collapsed to the point that they could not be seen.

As for the Fenghua Society, the 36th Dao, and the Citigroup Society, the people are even more scattered, the injured are tired, the clothes are disheveled, and the appearance is very embarrassed.

"Lord!" Sun Yueling was looking at the chaos in front of him and was stunned, when he suddenly heard a shout, only to see Han Wanshui get up from a pile of rubble, run to him and say, "You guys are finally back!" What about the old man? But caught Xiong Sifei? ”

Sun Yueling sighed and said, "Elder Li is only afraid...... I'm afraid that I have died with Xiong Sifei and will no longer be in this world......"

"What?" Han Qiaoshui's legs were weak, and he almost fell, and said in disbelief: "Li Lao...... Li Lao and Xiong Sifei died together? "He is different from Yan Nantian and Dongfang Shengping, they have little qualifications and have no deep friendship with Li Ruobing; But he can be regarded as an old man in the care hall, and he has followed Li Ruobing in the care hall for the longest time, and at this moment, he suddenly heard the news that Li Ruobing was dead, even if he was calm on weekdays, he couldn't help but be grief-stricken.

Sun Yueling said bitterly: "Li Lao and Xiong Sifei worked hard all over their bodies, each performing the most pinnacle technique, and under the mutual fighting, it actually caused an abnormal vacuum, coupled with the serial explosion of millions of stone gunpowder hoarded by Wang Gong's factory, which finally led to the appearance of shock waves and shock waves, so it caused this great disaster!" ”

"Huh?" Han Qiaoshui couldn't hear it clearly, and said in surprise, "It turns out that the huge earthquake and wind just now were caused by them......

Sun Yueling nodded and said, "Yes, it was from them." In fact, he couldn't believe it, but the fact was that he couldn't believe it, if it weren't for Li Ruobing and Xiong Sifei fighting with all their might, even if Wang Gong's gunpowder explosion would not have produced such a large amount of destructive energy, only under the accumulation of many factors did such a comprehensive reaction occur, forming such an exaggerated and terrifying effect.

Han Wanshui was still frightened and sighed: "This ...... I am afraid that this disaster has caused tens of thousands of casualties......"

Sun Yueling remembered what he had seen along the way, sighed, and said, "You are right, such a big disaster has indeed caused countless casualties!" After a pause, he continued, "But if it weren't for Elder Li's last best to stop and turn that shock wave into a pillar of clouds to disperse, I am afraid that the number of casualties will be even greater, and the damaged buildings will be even more......" Speaking of this, his heart was particularly palpitating, and he lamented: "It is really unexpected that things have developed into this field!" ”

Everyone followed him with a sigh of sorrow and grief.

Sun Yueling raised his head suddenly, and asked at Han Wanshui, "What about Mu Wan?" What about Fang Yichen? Where are the others? ”

Han Wanshui shook his head and sighed: "It was too chaotic just now, I don't know where they are now, maybe they were scattered by that shock wave!" As he spoke, he briefly recounted to him what had happened.

It turned out that the people of Fenghua Society and Thirty-six Dao had already won the victory against Citigroup, not only killing Uncle Xiao, but also beheading Ren Xing; Lin Chunwei was let go by everyone under Mu Wan's persuasion, and so far, Fenghua Society has basically won the battle and is carrying out the final clean-up operation.

However, the sudden change occurred, and the huge energy generated by the big explosion of Wang Gongchang washed everything up, and almost everyone was shocked by this shock wave, and their minds were dizzy, and many people with low skills were directly shocked to death; A small number of people disappeared under such a strong impact, and even more were swept into the air by the huge energy, not knowing where they had flown to.

According to eyewitnesses, Fang Yichen was swept into the sky by this impact, and he didn't know where he was going; Mu Wan, Lin Chunwei, Wu Chengde and others were scattered by the huge impact and their whereabouts are unknown; Only one of the remaining people relied on various buildings and objects to not be swept away by the huge force, but they were also scarred, disheveled, and inexplicably frightened.

After finishing speaking, Han Qianshui looked at him and asked, "What should we do now?" ”

Sun Yueling looked at the haggard brothers and sighed: "Count the casualties, and then everyone will return to the East Hall, waiting for my next order!" ”

Everyone agreed in unison.

……

The explosion of Wang Gongchang completely shocked the entire Beijing Division, this bizarre explosion spread in all directions with the Wang Gong Factory located in the southwest corner of the Beijing Division as the center, the explosion range reached a radius of three miles, destroyed countless houses and buildings, caused more than 10,000 deaths and injuries, and became the "unprecedented change in ancient and modern times" since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Especially in this great change, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was originally having breakfast in the Qianqing Palace, but suddenly there was a great earthquake, the palace shook, and the throne and the imperial case were all shaken to the ground. Frightened, he hurried to the Jiaotai Palace, and hid under a table to survive, but the eunuchs who served him for breakfast were all martyred, and no one survived.

The rest of the officials and civilians in the government and the opposition were hit by the explosion and suffered innumerable casualties.

After the great change, the Ming Dynasty and the opposition were shaken, and the people were panicked and complained. Some people believe that this is due to the "heavenly punishment" caused by the tyranny and perverse behavior of traitors, thieves, eunuchs, and eunuchs; Some people think that this is God showing an example to the Son of Heaven and punishing the Ming Dynasty, and they have written to ask the emperor to bow down and repair the province; Some people even think that this is the Houjin Tartars sent spies to the capital to sabotage and deliberately blow up the Wang Gong factory under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, so as to attack the Ming Dynasty's firearms manufacturing industry.

Despite the discussions, the Ming court still calmed down the matter in the shortest possible time, first by the Shuntian Mansion to preside over the disaster relief and aftermath matters, and the five cities of the Soldiers and Horses Division cooperated; Subsequently, the imperial court issued an order to investigate the responsibility for this matter, and Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, could not escape the blame, and was directly demoted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate as the left deputy imperial envoy, and was replaced by Xue Fengxiang, a waiter; Dong Kewei, who was directly responsible for supervising Wang Gong's factory, resigned and was expelled from Beijing; On the third day after the disaster, the Emperor of the Apocalypse issued an "edict of sin", reprimanded himself, and went to the Taimiao Temple to worship, and also allocated 10,000 taels of silver from the internal treasury to comfort the families of the dead and wounded. At the same time, he instructed all the courtiers to wear plain clothes, and to do their best to "wash their hearts and do things" and "reflect hard" so that the Ming Dynasty could achieve "long-term peace and stability, and everything will be eliminated." ”

After the catastrophe ended, the Suncheon Mansion thoroughly investigated the whole story and reported it to the imperial court. Of course, the officials of Shuntianfu couldn't find out the truth about the duel between Li Ruobing and Xiong Sifei, they thought that the explosion of Wang Gongchang was because Xiong Sifei failed to attack Fenghua Society, and fled to Wang Gongchang, trying to ignite the gunpowder hoarded inside to create chaos to escape the pursuit, but in the end it caused a series of explosions, which eventually led to an uncontrollable tragedy.

From this point of view, Xiong Sifei is guilty of crimes and heinous, and no courtier in the court is willing to stand up and speak for him. The imperial court immediately ordered the banning of Citigroup, and all related persons were arrested and imprisoned. However, after the siege of the Fenghua Society and the Thirty-six Dao, there were not many people left, and some of them were missing in the catastrophe, so in the end, they only seized the main altar and various branches of the Citigroup, confiscated the silver taels they had earned over the years into the treasury, and arrested a few people who committed the most heinous crimes and put them in prison.

At this point, many problems caused by the explosion of Wang Gongchang were finally solved, and Citigroup, which had dominated Beijing for many years, was also destroyed, and it was no longer the grand occasion of the year. In this catastrophe, the Fenghua Society, which successfully survived the raid of the Citigroup, became the most powerful political faction in the Beijing Division.
