Chapter 40: Arguments about something
As the saying goes, hearing is believing, but often our eyes can deceive themselves, otherwise those magicians in reality will lose their jobs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhao Huangqi knew that this batch of wealth, which was related to all the people of Wind and Sand City, would attract the attention of many parties, so he specially placed the exchange place in the central square, which was an extremely conspicuous place, in order to let everyone see that the treasure was packed into a package and finally put on top of the hump.
However, when the camel caravan went out of the city and passed through the deep city cave, Zhao Huangqi played a small trick, with the help of darkness, he asked Wu Liang and others to pry open the floor tiles under the city cave, and replaced the cloth bags full of garbage that had been buried in advance while everyone's attention was focused on the central square, and the treasures on the camel caravan, so as Scar Knight expected, the belongings never left Fengsha City.
It's a bit unrealistic to say, and there is no guarantee that no one will pass through the cave during construction.
However, don't forget that the time is extremely special, the people of Wind and Sand City have been out of food for several days, and those who can and want to leave this place are basically all gone, and when they learn that the old city lord has brought back food, they naturally all gather in the central square to exchange for food.
After all, no promise is worth anything until you get it, and no one is not afraid to be told that the food is gone when it is their turn......
As for those who enter and exit the city gate intentionally or unintentionally during the construction period, they will be blocked by the guards arranged by the old city lord, and if there are those who break into the city gate and keep kneeling and begging, they will take the means of killing without mercy.
A person's life and death are often less important than the people of the city.
Fortunately, the plan went smoothly, and the leaders of the neutral faction in Stormsand City stepped on the belongings they didn't get until they died, and then ran to death.
Zhao Huangqi acted as a ruthless decision-maker throughout the plan, but he didn't go to the point of exterminating humanity, so he didn't kill the hired players and knight natives who wanted to cry without tears.
Compared with the cavalry of Wind and Sand City, which was sleepy and lacking in horses, the members of the camel caravan who were waiting for work ran fast, and their posture was relaxed, without any embarrassment.
"It's a pity that some people still died!"
Zhao Huangqi said with some regret that the camel team finally left more than a dozen corpses, and the combat effectiveness of the two mourning soldiers exceeded his estimate.
The old city lord sighed lightly, but not only did he not have a look of blame on his face, but he was very respectful and grateful to Zhao someone: "If it weren't for you, more people would have died in our Wind and Sand City!" ”
In fact, when the old city lord saw Zhao Huangqi's true face, he was really shocked and couldn't help himself, he believed in the god of the desert all his life, and subconsciously classified Zhao Huangqi as an outlier, but who would have thought that the real person did not show his face, and it was actually Zhao Huangqi who acted as the decision-maker to save the wind and sand city, which made the old city lord blush for a while, and felt very lucky, glad that he did not offend Zhao because of his appearance.
"But then again, old city lord!" Zhao Huangqi's voice was faint, dissipating into the bleak night sky, "Have you ever thought about the future of Wind and Sand City?" ”
This question was too sudden, not only the old city lord, but even Bandel, who had never asked about foreign objects, looked at Zhao Huangqi, as for Jiang Luan and the others, they were waiting curiously, what kind of astonishing remarks would Zhao someone, who was speechless on weekdays.
"I suppose you'll get in touch with Jay Hine, King of Ru Gaugin, who has fled into the depths of the desert?"
The old city lord nodded in surprise, the conversation between him and Bander was very quiet before, so there was no reason for Zhao Huangqi to hear it.
"I don't recommend it, though! Hey, let's not get angry, you listen to me. ”
"The geographical location of Stormblown Sand City is very important, it is the hub of the deep Desert of Lu Gain and Aranok, but this is also the embarrassment, once the Free Church has officially made up its mind to take Stormblown Sand City, then Jay Hain will definitely not be able to help you!"
"Don't mention the vast magic power of the desert god, and the mana is boundless!" Zhao Huangqi raised his hand to stop the old city lord who was in a hurry to speak, "At least now the god of the desert doesn't know where to spend time, so on the matter, you say that Jay Hain has the ability to stop the Free Church?" ”
The old city lord shook his head bitterly.
"Isn't that right? Since you can't hold it, and you're protecting the people of the city, there's nothing wrong with turning to the Free Church for the time being! ”
Zhao Huangqi's words shocked everyone for a moment, what does the Free Church represent? The existence of the enemy of the entire sanctuary is the Canduran forces that have just been confronted, and the members of the Free Church are killed almost as soon as they meet. And the old city lord, who believed in the god of the desert, was extremely resistant to the defilement of the gods by the free church.
"No, absolutely not!"
The old city lord subconsciously refused, and his attitude was very resolute: "I can't let the people of the whole city be controlled by the Free Church!" ”
"Old City Lord, have you ever been to Lu Gaoin? Have you seen the situation there? Do you know that you just said that contradictory self? Zhao Huangqi said and threw the copy of the "City Code" bought from Lu Gaoin to the old city lord, "Actually, the aborigines there are doing very well, at least better than you are now, think about it, anyway, the god of the desert does not need your faith for the time being, and the Free Church does not restrict the belongation of faith!" ”
If Zhao Huangqi's words were heard by those old-fashioned people, they would inevitably be nailed to the notice board to see and hear them correctly, but the wind just covered up all the traces, so only you know and I know everyone.
The old city lord looked thoughtful, the god of the desert and the people of the city were his two pieces of flesh, and he really couldn't bear to lose either, but he didn't answer immediately, but carefully put the "City Code" in the storage ring, and said no more.
Here's a private chat for the team:
Bingyiren: Hey! Zhao Laoshi, who bewitches the public! Anyway, you used to be the Great Sage of the Shelter, why did you turn your elbow out as soon as you abdicated?
Zhao Laoshi: Existence is the truth, and I just provide a pertinent suggestion.
Bingyiren: (pouts) I've never seen anyone recommend their teammates to the enemy.
Zhao Laoshi: Am I not? Besides, there are no absolute enemies, and there are no absolute friends.
Hong Feng: After all, we are still very new to the Free Church, and before coming to Lu Gaoin, we could not imagine that the legal system in the area under the jurisdiction of the Free Church was so good. On a case-by-case basis, there is no harm in joining the Free Church for the time being.
Beacon Heaven: As you said, Brother Hong, the Free Church is very mysterious, and we can't judge their nature just by knowing it in a short period of time, so I don't recommend the old city lord to join the Free Church.
Qingluan: Okay, okay, put this question aside for now. Freedom of belief and freedom of speech in the Qingluan Temple, don't try to convince others.
Bing Yiren: So let's talk about something nutritious, what will we eat tomorrow?
Hong Feng: But we can see the attitude of the Free Church towards Stormy Sand City, if we hadn't arrived in time, the son of arcane, the god of law, Schneider, might have destroyed Amhal one day, and it would not have been our turn to come forward!
Zhao Laoshi: What should I wear for tomorrow's appointment?
Beacon of Fire: But that's not a reason to advise the old lord to submit to the Free Church, what if he suddenly has contact with the god of the desert in the meantime?
Bingyiren: What do I do with him? Anyway, I'm going to starve to death, who will order a takeout offline?
Zhao Laoshi: Hurry up and give me a suggestion, if you dress inappropriately, you will die!
Qingluan: Obviously, the two of you started arguing first, but it turned out to be ...... Tomorrow is a day off, do whatever you like!
