Chapter 195: The Day of Homecoming
"What about the rebels?"
Speaking of these three words, little stars appeared in the eyes of Serra and Diao Silkworm, and the two of them were dripping with a sigh, and several of them looked like they had eaten too much.
"Hey, hey! Wake up, wake up, you're up, there's a meeting here! β
Zhou Yu had to pick up the on both sides one by one. Is it that beautiful? So obsessed? The soul is gone? I don't believe it, can it be more beautiful than Nozomi Aso and Tsubasa Amami? The beauty of people is unreserved, it is selfless, it is full of peach and plums, what are you, cut!
"What's inside, Carney. On the rebel side, we, we don't have a play. β
"What do you mean by no play?"
"It's just that we can't persuade Nika, that girl has always been lonely and elusive, not to mention persuasion, it's hard to even meet each other, and it's really impossible to be cunning all day long."
"Yes, Brother Carney. I have heard that the 70,000 or 80,000 men of the rebel army are now only at her command, united as a monolith, and their morale is unprecedentedly high. If you can win that girl, it will be like a tiger with wings, and great things can be expected! β
Alas, the two of Broken Horseshoe Crab and Fu Python are probably chasing stars, and they don't have any illusions about Nika. But the fat man and a handsome guy next to him seemed very unnatural, and the two obviously had plans to include this girl in the account, so they looked at Zhou Yu wryly and listened to how he answered.
Zhou Yu frowned and scratched his cheeks.
"I don't have any interest in her."
Phewβ
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, now we can continue talking, right?"
"Cuo Ling returned this time, and the two hundred and five who wanted to support him were killed on the spot by himself, and now he must be very annoyed."
"What's the use of being annoyed, it's not his own hand."
"He can't do it if he doesn't do it, and he's about to be exposed. I look at the situation at that time, if I let the soft dragon continue, it will have to be revealed within three sentences. β
"I thought it would be a waste ostrich doing it himself, but I didn't expect that someone was in a hurry to kill him."
The four of them had a heated discussion in the bathhouse, Zhou Yu wrung out the burlap towel, put a hot compress on his eyes, put his two arms on the pool wall, and listened to them in full swing while making his own little abacus.
"Shopkeeper, heat the water! This water cools so fast! β
It's a good place at the end of Butterfly City, and there is an underground hot spring not far away, bubbling out a thick slurry with the smell of sulfur. On weekdays, both ordinary people and dignitaries can go to carry the burden, and there is a rule there - you have to queue up.
Therefore, how many handymen are hired by the shopkeeper to line up every day to carry the burden, so that he has done such a big business, and it is still a monopoly company. Needless to say, he must be a certain brother-in-law of the scrap ostrich.
"I tell you, if you want to do great things, you need one principle."
"What?"
"Don't quit. Damn dick up, fight with them. If anyone talks about this and that at home halfway, I'm sorry to leave now, and Sensei participates. β
Zhou Yu tore off the linen hand towel and stuffed it into Xiao Er's arms, who came over to add water and test the temperature of the water.
"Go back and tell the Viper, the Orca, the Otter, and then you can talk to yourself. If you want to live a day when you can see the sun, if you don't want to cut off your children and grandchildren, if you don't want to be a coward who is poked and scolded in the back, pin your head to the waistband of your trousers, and everyone fights with Cuo Ling and the Fire King. β
"Well, Carney, I'll interject."
Zhou Yu glanced at Serra and nodded.
"You don't need me to remind you, the force behind Xi'er is the Wind King...
He didn't say that Zhou Yu had even forgotten about it, indeed, he had heard this information in Tanuki City. It's just that he really can't understand why the Wind King, whose fief is originally in Dixia, would fund the Xi'er clan to fight against Cuo Ling.
Could it be that even if it is the Four Heavenly Kings, it can't pee a pot? What's more, the Wind King wants to kill a few of them and become the king of kings?
"Oh, why? Why does the Wind King support Xi'er? β
"ThisγI don't know about this.γOriginally, the work of getting in touch with the Wind King was specifically in charge of the scourge seabream.,Now that he's dead.,Naturally, the contact was cut off.γ
Isn't it a good thing that you did when he died? However, it seems that he is behind the scenes. Zhou Yu shrugged his shoulders and sank into the water, still hot below.
"If this rule is made, the patriarchs of the four clans can agree to it, and I will mediate on the rebel side."
This meeting has been held for a long time, and the Metropolitan Governor must come up with a few substantive contents for them to implement, otherwise this group of stinky sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs will not be able to move for ten or eight years, and they will still be in place.
"First, Serra will do your job tomorrow, whether you kill or stay, and no one else will participate. That's a family affair of the canine clan, okay? β
"Second, no matter who the Wing Clan chooses to be the patriarch, I am responsible for dealing with him, and I will never let him hold us back. Therefore, you withdraw all the troops from all sides who are rushing over for me, and if you have the spirit to fight Tianyin City, don't fight in the nest here. β
"Thirdly, I asked Parry if he had a chance to break through the Turtle Gate and storm the Central Continent on the day he arrived, but he would need a lot of firepower. As far as the broken copper and iron in our hands are concerned, let's save it. Listen to me, don't fight now, don't fight now, or you'll die a miserable death. Remember! β
"Fourth, you send all the scouts out and inquire about that Nika's whereabouts. Notify me as soon as there is news. I'll go north to Tianyin City after I've settled the affairs of the Wing Clan.,Here... β
Zhou Yu said, jumped up from the pool with a rub on the ground, found his clothes and tossed them through. It turned out that he was looking for a map.
"You're all coming and seeing."
"W-What is this?"
"It's called a map. We're here now, see? This is Butterfly City, and this is Tianyin City. β
"Yo, this thing is good, huh? Still, Carney? β
Among the people, Serra was the only one who did not doubt him, and he had always firmly believed that this person was the king of the people of Thoraxia, and it was not unusual for him to have some strange magic weapons on him.
"No, that's all. But you can take a copy of the carbon black and oil rubbing. β
"Good, good!"
"I'll head north to Celestial Sound, and before that time you'd better be able to find Nika's whereabouts, and I'll take her to bed."
"Is this necessary?"
Serra and Diao Silkworm interrupted at the same time.
"Oh, slip of the tongue, it's to convince her, to convince her to join our alliance. From today onwards, our strategic alliance has been formally established under the name of the Dubancia Customs Working Committee. I am the director. β
"This, what is the Guan Working Committee?"
"The full name is called the Care for the Next Generation Working Committee, we are born under the sun and grow up in the New World in order for our children to have a father and a mother, isn't it in line with the original intention of caring for the next generation?"
"So, what is the director?"
"Here, help me get the map."
"Oh!"
"Just what you talk a lot? Why do you talk a lot? See if you have much to say? β
Zhou Yu's old fist, the fat on the silkworm's body trembled, like Zheng Zeshi who was chased by a mad dog.
"If I don't ask, don't I ask, won't I get hit? Hit or not? β
Alas, count you as eyesight.
On the day of the return of the pilgrimage, early in the morning.
The entrance of the Turtle Gate was crowded with parents who had rushed to Butterfly City one after another a few days ago. They stayed up all night in anticipation, blocking the entrance for fear that a child they hadn't seen for a long time would miss out. The kilometer-long Butterfly Clan guards kept beating the civilians with spears and whips, but they still couldn't stop the anxious eyes of the fathers and the tearful whimpering of the mothers.
Eighteen years and eighteen years have passed, and if it were not for the special tattoo as an identification code, the hope of these families reunited would have been completely shattered. Still, despite this, it is a tragedy that the facts cannot be changed.
Zhou Yu has never had the habit of sleeping lazy, and his biological clock is very accurate. No matter what time you go to bed at night, you will wake up between six and half past six in the morning. Except in the slave camp at Bruno in Soracia, where you have to get up at about four o'clock in the morning to work. Rain or shine, all year round, compared to those dark years, this little day can hardly be tsk anymore.
He didn't come to the neighborhood to greet anyone, even Gao Otter's own son he was not interested in getting to know him. Because, with what he knew about Serra, whether this person was original or not, he would be killed, and then put on the hat of an old king next door. Isn't it? If he were Serra, he would do the same.
Ruthless, before the father and son have not cultivated a good relationship.
"Director, is this the first time you've seen this kind of scene?"
"Well, it's really the first time that a big girl has been on a sedan chair. That's the Turtle Gate? β
"Exactly, we all came out of there. But I can't remember what was in there, or what we've done. β
"Oh, he's got a hand."
Zhou Yu pinched his chin and stood on a three-story building opposite the Turtle Gate and looked down. This is a property of the Zerg, if it weren't for the young master Diao Silkworm coming to Butterfly City, he really wouldn't have had a chance to come up and take a look at the mountains.
"It's open, it's open."
It should have come to a certain moment, and Zhou Yu waited for the flowers to bloom again.
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a sound similar to a cannon fire coming from inside the turtle gate, and the whole earth was trembling, and Zhou Yu had to hold on to the window edge to stand firm.
Then, with the sound of a humming horn, two pieces of green tortoiseshell, twenty meters square, first closed, and a third of them overlapped. Then it opens at a wide angle like the wings of the seven-star ladybug. It's slow, it's slow, and it looks like it's controlled by some kind of agency, not manpower.
Most of the governors tiptoed to look inside, although all kinds of lanterns and torches outside the turtle gate were shining like daylight, but inside it was pitch black, and not even a ghost shadow could be seen.
"I can't see anything here!"
"You can see it! In a moment, you'll see the Crash Demon. β
"Crashing Demon? What the hell? β
"The Crashing Demon is not a ghost, it is the army of the Fire King, and it is specially responsible for escorting and transporting. They are the ones who take the baby, and they are the ones who escort them home. It's just that babies are born and taken as they go, and they only return once a year. Oh, do you see the long ropes hanging down on both sides of the turtle gate? The end of the rope is still tied to the basket. β
"Hmm, I see."
"The newborn is put in the basket, and it is placed here and pulled hard, and it is enough to hear the bell ring in the door. In a few moments, the baby's swaddling clothes will be lifted away. This parting is eighteen years. β
The sound of the instrument is more poignant and penetrating. Zhou Yu had to frown, open his mouth wide, and release the pressure. I've never heard such a terrible instrument, what is it?
"Oh, it's a bone number, it's made from a human skull. The Avalanche is in charge of guarding the children of Dubancia in Dream Slayer, and if anyone tries to escape and is discovered by them, they will hang them alive, skin them, and remove their skulls to make bone numbers. Isn't the sound scary? It was as if the dead were chanting sutras. β
Zhou Yu had to nod, this thing is indeed a bit evil, and it makes people want to jump off the building after listening to it for a long time.
Finally, a few neat lines of queues came out of the darkness, and they didn't look like ordinary people. These people wore masks with oil paint painted on their skulls, and they were all dressed in black, the only color being the capes on each person's body, all red, bright red.
Da, da, da, hundreds of Crashing Demons stood at the entrance of the Turtle Gate with their legs outstretched, holding a swarthy thing in their hands, neat and well-trained, at least five meters apart from each other. Suddenly, something strange came behind them like a tidal wave.
What gushes out of Wuyang is people.
The Metropolitan Governor has watched "Train to Busan" and also watched "World War Z". At this moment, there is no more scene in front of me than the zombies pouring out of the subway stations and climbing over the Wailing Wall of Jerusalem.
"TheyβHow did they seem to be hunted down?"
Zhou Yu had to throw out the doubts in his heart.
"They have to hurry up and get out, because immediately the demon will turn back and go back, and once they don't run out when they turn around, it's just, only...
"Only death? Isn't there still trade to be done? β
"That was after the Demon Crash left."
"But here's the problem. First, what is the Demon Breaker holding in his hand? β
"That thing is called a fire gun, and it can kill people thousands of miles away."
"Come on, come on, it's a fire gun!"
The Metropolitan Governor once again set up a pergola to confirm, and it was really just as Diao Silkworm said, it was an ordinary fire gun, at best at the level of Tanegashima. However, this was enough to surprise Zhou Yu, the Fire King Chi actually had such a powerful firepower and armed a musket team of several hundred people. What's even more weird is that this kind of firearm has been seen before, and it is the kind used by the guards at Destiny Peak Station.
"The second question is, Diao silkworm, can't you run in while you're trading for a while?"
Diao Silkworm looked at Zhou Yu like an alien.
After the Governor finished speaking, he wanted to smoke a big-eared melon seed.
Didn't you say it, the demon will withdraw after a while, and it must be guarding the central passage. If you don't have the ability to break this musket team, don't even fight the idea of breaking through. Not everyone is 139 and Parry is as invulnerable.
