Night, like an boundless monstrous beast, the darkness is its fangs, which takes the world into its stomach in an instant, and burps with satisfaction.

Listen, isn't that whistling autumn wind the burp?

Blossom Castle, with thousands of soldiers coming and going on the tall walls, the constantly alternating ranks show the mastery of the commander, and at no time will there be any gaps in the walls. Moreover, the constantly running ranks make it impossible for the enemy to launch a silent attack, and at the same time, it also allows the soldiers on duty at night to be vigilant so that the enemy does not touch them.

However, as long as there is a certain law, then there will be flaws.

"Enemy attack!" An alarm alarmed the surrounding guarded soldiers, and a large number of soldiers rushed through the passages in the complex city walls, and came in quick support. And the place that should have been guarded was still garrisoned by a part of the troops to prevent this from being a trick by the enemy to divert the tiger from the mountain.

No matter how perfect a patrol system is, it still requires a certain number of people to carry it out, and the mobilization of this part of the force will inevitably lead to loopholes in the warning system.

"It's just a few residents who came back late, the city gate is closed, and they are in a hurry to go back, so they have to climb over the wall and enter the city. It's okay, let's all disperse. ”

The returning soldiers soon noticed that something was wrong, and the brothers who had been on duty together did not know where they had gone. There is a long section of the city wall, but there is no one along the way, when did there be such a big hole?

But soon, they understood what was happening.

The dagger slashed precisely through their throats, and a group of assassins who had been silent in the darkness of the night suddenly appeared, taking their lives with them. Looking at the corpse that was still twitching and spurting blood under him, the eyes of the leader of the men in black did not fluctuate in the night, and when he put away the dagger, a strange insect sound blew out of his mouth, and the group of men in black who had solved the battle quickly left and disappeared into the night.

Half an hour later.

"My subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored." The man in black bowed down in front of Liu Gan.

"Not bad!" Liu Qian patted the man in black on the shoulder, and then strode away, leaving behind the exciting words in the air.

"Everyone, quickly cross the walls and take the lead in taking command of the army."

Unlike other big cities, Blossom City is just a small city, but as the war progresses, it has prospered quickly. The war did not destroy it, but it thrived.

There are no tall and solid walls like the Eight Veins City, but the Flower City has a patrol system designed by Zhang Rang himself, as well as an air defense system. Most of the big cities were unprepared for air power, because there were so few Heavenly Rank masters, and even if they broke into the city, they were only a few scattered, surrounded by a large number of troops, and there was no way to achieve anything.

And Huajian City has a set of strict air defense systems, especially for super masters like Liu Gan, who are one against a thousand.

Originally, Liu Gan's idea was to rely on his outstanding strength to directly open the city gate to welcome the army in. But feeling the majestic mana fluctuations in the city, as well as the aura that vaguely connected the heavens, earth, mountains and rivers, made him give up the adventure and go straight in.

Instead, they chose another cliché.

Night Raid.

Facts have proved that this trick, which is often used, is undoubtedly very effective, even with an unusually rigorous and perfect patrol mechanism, it is still broken by constant harassment and sneak attacks. After several operations, the system finally revealed a huge vulnerability.

Raising troops for a thousand days was used for a while, and Liu Gan was extremely satisfied with this assassination unit that performed perfectly.

Therefore, Liu Gan unceremoniously ordered the elite who had been assigned a long time ago to quickly enter the city with him and seize the ownership of the city.

Led by the black-clothed assassin, Liu Gan soon arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, where he had been here, and at that time, he still came secretly with Yanling, and by the way, he also watched a big show.

Thinking of this, Liu Qian turned his head and looked at Su Xueyan behind him.

But at this moment, this place is no longer comparable to the past, and the guard force that is still strictly guarded without flaws in the panic, Liu Gan secretly praised.

"Kill it right in!" Liu Qian ordered.

This is already the most central location of the city, and the lord of the city will not be mad and set a lot of traps in his daily office. If this city lord really has such a strong sense of crisis, then Flower City is definitely not his final destination.

"It's you!" Liu Gan's spatial power unfolded, and in a flash, he crossed the distance of a hundred zhang and directly entered the city lord's mansion.

And the person who appeared in front of him surprised Liu Gan very much.

"Adjutant Zhou?" Liu Qian was quite interested in this mysterious figure. When he first met Adjutant Zhou, he was only Zhan Feng's adjutant, helping Zhan Feng deal with many affairs in the jurisdiction of Luoyang City.

And when he left Luoyang City and went to Jigong Mountain to look for opportunities, he was deeply impressed by Adjutant Zhou's performance before leaving. This mysterious Adjutant Zhou, Liu Qian always felt that he was not simple, obviously with strong strength and good insight, as well as quite commendable ability to deal with government affairs, it can be said that he is an all-rounder, but he is only in such a small position as an adjutant, which is really strange.

Now goodbye, he has changed into Zhang Rang's deputy marshal, an existence in the army, under one person and above ten thousand.

Moreover, this person's strength, Liu Qian only clearly felt it at this time, Sixth Order!

"It's the nameless city lord." Adjutant Zhou put down the letterhead in his hand with some astonishment, stood up, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for three days, you should be impressed." The ancients did not deceive me, but it was only about half a year ago, and the young man who had no achievements in Luoyang City in the past has now become a man of the hour who can stir up the current situation in the world. ”

Liu Gan's face was slightly hot, and he said: "Adjutant Zhou, you are not weak, a small adjutant back then, but now he has become the deputy commander of Luoyang's 600,000 army." ”

Adjutant Zhou didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, he just smiled and nodded, not in the slightest bit frightened by the sudden arrival of the powerful Lord of Great Commerce. He walked up to Liu Qian and said, "I don't know if I came late at night, what advice did the nameless city lord have?" ”

Liu Gan didn't believe that he didn't know anything about the current situation, and couldn't see through his details, Liu Gan said tentatively: "Zhang Shuai broke his trust in my big business, and harmed my 50,000 soldiers, today, I am here to take revenge." ”

However, Liu Gan was destined to be disappointed, Adjutant Zhou did not have a little surprise on his face, he was still calm, and only listened to him speak: "You naturally know that this matter has nothing to do with Zhang Shuai, so why do you need to use my words." Things have developed to this point, and it is not at all what Zhang Shuai and I expected. ”

Seeing that the expression on Adjutant Zhou's face did not seem to be fake, Liu Qian believed it for three points and said: "Even so, Luoyang's intention to harm my big business soldiers is conclusive, you and I have different positions, and we are destined to be enemies." ”

Adjutant Zhou shook his head: "Your enemy is not me, nor Zhang Shuai, but Chang Zhi, who is now in the hinterland of the Dragon Palace. ”

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you in a fit of rage to avenge the dead soldiers of my Great Shang?"

Continuing to shake his head, Adjutant Zhou still looked calm: "If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it a long time ago, instead of deliberately testing me when I was catching up with you." Although my strength is not bad, in front of the unknown general of the Megatron Universe, I still see a small thing, if you want to kill me, it is thousands of miles away, you can take my head. Whether I can live or not depends on your thoughts, not on me, what is the use of being afraid or not? ”

"Oh?" Liu Gan was shocked by Adjutant Zhou's remarks, on the one hand, he felt that this was a routine of literati self-preservation, belittling themselves and exalting others, so as to achieve the purpose of self-preservation; On the other hand, Liu Qianyou felt that Adjutant Zhou really had a certain ability, otherwise, he would not have endured all these years with a sixth-order cultivation.

In just a moment, Liu Gan returned to his former cold side, he snorted unhappily on the surface, as if he sneered at Adjutant Zhou's downbeat mood of life and death, and said: "Okay, I will give you the choice now, if you can be as sincere as Zhang Shuai, I will not only spare your life, but also give you a broader stage, so that you can show your ambitions, instead of cowering like now." ”

This time, Adjutant Zhou was really surprised, it was not the conditions given by Liu Gan, but one of the sentences, he lost his voice and said: "Zhang Shuai surrendered?" ”

Liu Qian finally felt that he had won the game, the corners of his mouth moved, and he changed to an unfathomable smile: "No, doesn't this still require your efforts?" ”

Adjutant Zhou was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, smiled in surprise, and then knelt on the ground: "Subordinate Zhou Cheng to meet the lord." ”

did not use other subordinates, lowly positions or anything, but called himself a subordinate, which is a kind of proof of direct surrender to Liu Gan. If he thinks of himself as a courtier, then he is not Liu Gan, but a big businessman who is now in full swing, not Liu Gan. Although it was an extremely small difference, Liu Gan instantly understood the meaning.

"Get up, as for whether I want to take you or not, it depends on your performance."

Zhou Cheng did not get up, but bowed down again and said loudly: "My subordinates will definitely do their best." ”

"Decent and decent", Liu Gan gave such an evaluation softly, but in his heart, he had a different opinion, this person was too cautious, just like Jia Xu in the Three Kingdoms period, although he was virtuous, he used it for self-preservation.

Zhou Cheng seemed to be mistaken: "Thank you Lord for your praise." ”

Liu Qian shook his head and walked out of the City Lord's Mansion quickly.

"Stop, it's all settled!" Liu Gan was in the chaos, and soon found his subordinates, and with an order, the elite retreated with Liu Gan.

Half an hour later, the moon and stars were thin, and the night was darker, but the torches on the head of the city illuminated everything brightly.

Looking at Liu Gan's side face, Su Yun'er couldn't help but say, "Brother, why did you quit so quickly, these people are still resisting, how can they come out and surrender now?" ”

Liu Qian smiled, ignored it, and continued to stare at the city gate.

And Su Xueyan on the side spoke: "Don't you believe your brother? He can sit in the current position, and he will never do anything that he is not sure of, so we just have to wait. ”

Su Yun'er's face turned red, and she took a sip in a low voice, although the voice was small, but it also made Su Xueyan hear it, and she was immediately embarrassed.

As soon as the farce was over, the gates of the city were opened.

The squads of about 100 people of the Luoyang army ran out neatly, and the banners and bright armor shone brightly under the light of the fire at the head of the city.

"Welcome to my lord in Blossom City!" The roar was deafening, and as soon as the soldiers who ran out of the formation set up their positions, a voice came like a wave of the sea, and finally, after the more than 100 soldiers who were standing in the forest shouted these words, someone came at the gate of the city again.

I saw Zhou Cheng with a few generals, facing Liu Gan, and staying in front of him, Zhou Cheng took the lead, and the three of them knelt down, and this kneeling drove the soldiers behind them to kneel down in unison, and the neat and uniform movements were amazing.

Su Yun'er was shocked by this performance-like scene, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that this Luoyang army is not all waste like Changzhi. ”

Liu Gan was embarrassed, but his face was silent, and he helped the leader Zhou Cheng up, and said: "Everyone, from today on, I will be your leader, your previous welfare system will not change, and the lineup will not change." However, if you want to become a soldier of my Great Shang, you must obey the dispatch of my Great Shang, obey my dispatch! ”

Zhou Cheng is such a human spirit, how can he not understand Liu Gan's thoughts at this time, when he was about to continue to kneel, he said: "I must live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

The voices came and went, of course, these people were all kneeling, and the only one standing was Zhou Cheng who was supported by Liu Gan. Liu Qian didn't use much strength, but he didn't let Zhou Cheng kneel, even if it was just a small gesture of false support, he Zhou Cheng dared to kneel?

Liu Gan was more satisfied with this meeting, nodded, and pulled Zhou Cheng: "City Lord Zhou, now that the military situation is urgent, I will no longer stay in Huajian City, after a day of rest, the army will be pulled out overnight, and I also ask City Lord Zhou to have a heart tonight." ”

"The subordinates don't dare!" Zhou Cheng hurriedly received the order. He called the herald next to him to arrange it, and asked someone to arrange the accommodation and rest of the army, and at the same time prepared a large amount of hot water and food.

Next, Zhou Cheng led Liu Gan and others into the city, and behind Liu Gan were only Su Yun'er, Su Xueyan, Kong Ning and others, and at this time, the surrounding soldiers were still kneeling.

Entering the city, Su Yun'er was surprised, if the scene of hundreds of people kneeling down outside amazed him, then entering the city and seeing the densely kneeling soldiers, she was almost so shocked that she couldn't speak.

"Brother, look, look!" Su Yun'er pointed her fingers, very excited, and two red glows rose on her face.

And Liu Qian still remained calm, and Su Xueyan pulled Su Yun'er on the side to keep her from being too conspicuous. The group passed through the dense crowd and came to the City Lord's Mansion.

Just when everyone was curiously looking at the City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Cheng knelt down again.

"The Lord forgives sins, and his subordinates make decisions without authorization, causing dissatisfaction with the Lord, please punish them!"
