Chapter 92: The Desire for Power
Xia Hou cleaned up the wood that was not completely burned in front of him, and as long as he could still move, he threw them behind, and soon the flammable materials around him were all cleaned up, ensuring that this place was safe for the time being.
"Lao Zhenbao, I have no enmity with you in the past, and I have no grudges recently, why did you design to kill me tonight?" This is the confusion in Xia Hou's heart, he is a good old man, he didn't do anything bad, why did the townspeople here come to kill him, they are too cruel, right?
Lao Zhen Baoyi said in a righteous manner: "You god killer, you want to break Hebo, this is the reason why we want to get rid of you!" ”
When Xiahou heard this, it was really this matter, wouldn't the natives here be too cautious because the city god of the county town was shattered? Whoever looks like someone who wants to smash the idol is overkill.
In order to attract the old town to come over, Xia Hou explained: "I think you have misunderstood, I am not a god-killer who fishes, and I never thought of breaking Hebo. ”
After speaking, Xia Hou squatted down, searched the body of the old man, and found a hanging of money and a few scattered coins on him.
Xiahou guessed that this money was probably given to him by the old town as a reward for luring the enemy, and these few cents were his belongings.
After listening to Xiahou's weak explanation, Lao Zhen was even more sure of his judgment, and took a step forward, enhancing the momentum of his speech: "It's not a god killer, you don't want to break Hebo, will you wander around the Heshui River all day and all night?" You're clearly stepping on the spot, so that we can rush in and smash Hebo while we are unprepared. ”
Nima, fishing by the river to find ore, was actually used as evidence of his own crime? If you want to add sin, there is no excuse. Xiahou thought depressedly.
"What's wrong with me wandering around the river? Is it in your way, or is it in your way? And Hebo is a true god statue, how can I be a mortal with the ability to smash it? Xiahou retorted.
Lao Zhenbao saw that the fire was burning strongly, and he took a few steps forward to see the figure inside: "You god killer, don't pretend." How do we know that you don't have the ability to break Hebo, and the city god in the county town is also a true god statue, and it was still broken by the god killers? Besides, you have the ability to be invulnerable, who knows if you have hidden the power to break Hebo? Besides, now is a good opportunity to make a fortune in the county, you are a foreigner, why don't you go to the county seat to come to our town? I don't know what to do, it's either to visit relatives or to sabotage, do you have any relatives here? ”
Also Nima hides the power to shatter Hebo? This old thing thinks he can break Hebo, but how come I don't know?
Xia Hou estimated the distance between himself and Lao Zhenbao, and found that it was still beyond the range of flashing, and he couldn't get to him in a flash.
Xia Hou hates those highly agile people the most now, he can't catch up if he wants to kill them, let them go, they are still following him, entangled, this will be very depressing.
In order to attract Lao Zhenbao to come over, Xia Hou continued to talk to him: "Lao Zhenbao, you're wrong, aren't you afraid of killing a good person by mistake?" Is this indiscriminate killing of innocents worthy of your conscience? ”
Lao Zhenbao took a step forward, puffed up his chest, and said with righteousness: "In order to prevent it from happening, whether it is a god killer or not, whether you have the ability to break Hebo or not, as long as you are still in Heshui Town and do not leave, you can't stay!" We've given you a chance during the day today, but you're just going to go. In this way, we have no choice, we are going to kill you tonight, we can't afford to gamble the lives of nearly 10,000 people in Heshui Town! ”
After listening to Lao Zhenbao's words, Xia Hou suddenly understood the reason why he wanted to kill himself, and the reason was not because he was a god killer, nor because he was going to smash Hebo, he just happened to be his stepping stone.
Xiahou estimated that after a flash, as long as he ran a few more steps, he would be able to reach the front of Lao Zhenbao.
Xiahou decided not to wait, and was just about to attack, flashing out and killing Lao Zhenbao, when the stone slab next to him suddenly warped, and a bald head appeared.
"Big brother, I'm here to save you, come with me!" Lai, who was sticking his head out of the ground, whispered to Xiahou.
The sharp-eyed hunter outside saw that the situation inside had changed, and the stone slab used to pave the ground was raised, and it was estimated that there was a tunnel underneath.
He immediately ran forward and grabbed Lao Zhenbao and said, "Lao Zhenbao, it's dangerous there, the fire is too big, go far and talk." ”
After saying that, he pulled the old town guard back, and then the hunter instructed the others: "Everyone work hard, those who have bows and arrows shoot rockets inward, and those who do not have bows and arrows throw wood inwards, everyone take action, work together, and burn the maids." ”
Xia Hou thought about it for a while, and finally decided to follow Lai Tou and see what tricks he played.
After Xiahou left, the people outside, under the command of the hunters, desperately added firewood and refueled, making the fire on the periphery very big and the smoke billowing out.
People who don't have particularly sharp eyes can't see what's inside at all.
"Why is there no sound inside, this wicked person can't be a escape, right?" Seeing that it was done, Lao Zhenbao still couldn't avoid the worries before success, and said worriedly.
The hunter standing next to him said: "Old Zhenbao, don't worry, when I pulled you back just now, you just turned around and didn't see a burned pillar just hit his head, just now I estimated that he was burned to death." ”
Although Lao Zhenbao also thought that it was impossible for the man to escape from such a big fire, he still asked uneasily, "Then why didn't I hear the screams?" ”
This man is old and troublesome, and the hunter patiently returned: "I saw him being smashed to the ground, and I guess he was knocked unconscious before he could scream, old Zhenbao, you are too careful." ”
An invulnerable person will be knocked unconscious, and there will be no time to scream?
There is obviously a problem with this hunter, but Lao Zhenbao still trusts him very much, and today's biggest hero is actually this hunter, Lao Zhenbao is just a leader, the role of the organizer, and this hunter is the action planner and implementer.
The whole thing was instigated by him to the old town guard, he was the one who found and found Xiahou, and he also did it to track, monitor, and wake up the old guard, and then proposed to use fire to lure the enemy with the old guard, these were all suggestions he made to the old town guard.
But Lao Zhenbao had no reason to doubt him, and when he heard the hunter's answer, he didn't think much about it, and he put his mind at ease, and his heart was full of joy after eliminating harm for the people.
He was now incredibly proud that he had led such a successful operation tonight.
He made such a great contribution to this town, saved the fate of the town's demise, and from now on his prestige reached new heights.
Although he retired from the position of town protection, but with today's achievements, it will be more convenient for him to serve the town in the future, and it will be more convenient for him to serve the town.
Thinking of this, Lao Zhenbao nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, that's good, as long as the god-killer is dead and the town is saved, we can sit back and relax in the future, and my hard work will not be wasted." ”
