Chapter 552: The Beginning and the End

The next day, just after dawn, Yan Liqiang's four-wheeled carriage had already arrived at the gate of Pingxi City, preparing to leave Pingxi City and return to Yan'an Fort......

Although the sky was just dawning at this time, the city gate was not deserted.

The weather has become hot and hot in the past few days, and the corpses left in the city by the Shatu people must be cleaned up quickly, so last night, when Yan Liqiang enjoyed the gentleness, many officials in the city's large and small yamen were not idle, these people, plus the garrison in the city, and the people who were temporarily recruited with "heavy money", were busy in Dongcheng District, cleaning up the corpses left by the Shatu people in the ruins.

The corpses of the Shatu people were thrown on top of the four-wheeled carts, covered with cloth, and then pulled out of the city by the carts to find a place to fill it in the wilderness, and where lime could be bought outside the city, all the lime was almost bought.

Early this morning, while a cart of corpses was being pulled out, a cart of lime was also pulled in from outside the city, and the carriages and horses on both sides were coming in and out of the car gate.

The streets were sparsely populated, in stark contrast to the bustle of watching the Shatu people being driven out of Pingxi City yesterday, except for a few gangsters and young people in the city who were curiously standing on the side of the road looking at the carriages and horses pulling the corpses of the Shatu people, most of the other people avoided it, after all, for the people in the city, there was nothing to see about dead people.

After all, there weren't many Shatu people who were actually killed by the Overseer's army yesterday, and most of the Shatu people, those from the Uli and Ebony tribes, were killed by the other side, and the mutilated limbs that were cut by the scimitars, and the stumps that were burned like charcoal, were enough to make people have nightmares, and when the carriages drove through the streets, the strange smell from the carriages was enough to make people retreat, and the doors of the shops on the street were closed.

A flatbed carriage transporting corpses swayed in front of the four-wheeled carriage in which Yan Liqiang was sitting, and a pair of feet could be seen under the makeshift black cloth covered with the carriage, and as the carriage swayed, the feet in the flatbed car were also shaking......

Yan Liqiang looked at the feet in the carriage, and sighed in his heart, he knew today, why bother in the first place! He is not a person who is easy to kill, but in the face of the great right and wrong, there is no room for compromise, the ambition of the Shatu people has become a cancer in Pingxi City, and if he does not drive the Shatu people away from Pingxi City today, maybe in a few years, those feet dangling in the carriage, those heads floating in the river, are from the Han people in the city, this is what he does not want to see in any case, since the Shatu people have to let him choose one of the two, then he can only choose to let those Shatu people sway in the flat carriage.

There are no Shatu people outside Pingxi City, and those Shatu people who were driven out of Pingxi City yesterday have already left Pingxi City overnight under the escort and guard of the army, and went to Baishiguan.

This time, Pingxi City actually inadvertently set a record for the largest number of Shatu people expelled at one time in the Han Empire!

Of course, the shock of yesterday's events will not be limited to the city, but since Wang Jianbei and Lei Sitong can give their own two million taels of silver, then the rest of the matter will be left to them to worry about, and they don't have to bother any more by themselves.

The swaying flat carriage had been a hundred meters away from the city gate before turning to the other side of the road, separating from Yan Liqiang's carriage, looking at the fork in the road in front, Hu Hai, who was driving the carriage, turned around, and the river knocked on the partition in front of the carriage, "Childe, are you going to the Manufacturing Bureau or going back to Yan'anbao now?"

"Let's go back to Yan'an Fort!"

"Okay!"

The four-wheeled carriage turned to the road back to Yan'anbao, and with a few whips from the Huhai River, the carriage quickly ran on the road.

In the carriage of the carriage, Yan Liqiang had already taken out the black rune arrow, turned it over and over in his hand, looked at it carefully, and the look in his eyes slowly became deeper......

......

In the afternoon, Yan Liqiang's carriage finally returned to Yan'an Fort.

At this time, Yan'an Fort, with the blessing of the title of "the world's first factory", has become more lively, the streets are densely packed with people, and the inns and restaurants on both sides of several streets in the fort are often full, especially at the door of the woolen mill, there are a large number of people to pay their respects every day- Of course, the gold plaque given by His Majesty the Emperor was quietly taken back by the Yan family on the night of the opening of the woolen mill, such a thing, precious can be imagined, no one will hang it outside every day in the sun and rain for people to look at, and now hanging on the door of the woolen mill is just an imitation of His Majesty the Emperor's seal, but even so, people who come here every day to see it are also endless.

It is estimated that the news of the great changes in Pingxi City has just reached Yan'anbao, but for Yan'anbao, that kind of news is just news, and it has no impact here, so what should everyone do.

Yan Liqiang, who returned home, first went to the blacksmith workshop, met Yan Dechang, and after greeting Yan Dechang, he told him what happened in Pingxi City, and then left the blacksmith workshop and returned to his yard.

"Childe is back!" The little girl Yu Qing is helping Yan Liqiang tidy up the study in Yan Liqiang's yard, the sun is high today, the little girl is taking out the books in the study and drying them one by one, when she saw Yan Liqiang coming back, Yu Qing suddenly ran in front of Yan Liqiang like a flower.

"Drying books again?"

"Well, these books in the study don't grow insects in the sun, and they are not easy to perish!" the little girl said, picked up a book, stood on tiptoe, and leaned under Yan Liqiang's nose, "Son, you smell it, does this book smell ink!"

Yu Qing, who stood on tiptoe, gradually plumped up and her chest was almost attached to Yan Liqiang's body, in addition to the ink fragrance on the books, there was also a leisurely girl's body fragrance, looking at this girl's flickering big eyes, Yan Liqiang muttered in his heart, how did this little girl develop so fast, at her current level, she has caught up with the level when she met her in the Heavenly Dao God Realm, is it that her life is stable and nutritious......

"Ahem...... cough ......" Inevitably encountering embarrassment, Yan Liqiang took a slight step back half a step without a trace, "In the future, just let the other maids in the house do this, you can take more time to practice the kung fu I taught you!"

"Hmm!" Yu Qing nodded seriously, "Gongzi taught, I practice every day, in addition to practicing, I clean up things for Gongzi, in fact, it is almost ......the same as resting" After saying this, Yu Qing's brows suddenly moved, and then sniffed Yan Liqiang's chest like a puppy, and then raised his eyes and looked at Yan Liqiang suspiciously, "Childe...... You...... How do you have the scent of a woman...... This scent...... Like, it seems to be different from Miss Lu'......"

Yan Liqiang lowered his head and sniffed on his chest, damn, there was really a trace of the fragrance left by Zhong Ruolan on his chest, of course, Yan Liqiang would not admit it if he was killed, but still serious, "Ahem, how can there be any fragrance, probably you are mistaken, okay, you go to practice after drying the book, don't delay the time, don't wait for me to eat at night, I will go to the secret room to retreat for two days!"

After saying this, Yan Liqiang hurriedly fled, leaving Yu Qing standing in place, pouting and looking at Yan Liqiang's back......

Came to the bedroom, closed the door, and then moved a cabinet in the room, opened the passage into the underground secret room, Yan Liqiang directly followed the passage into the retreat secret room located under the ground, he sniffed the clothes on his body while walking, touched his nose, and muttered to himself, "Why is this little nose so smart, it seems that I will pay attention next time!"

On the walls of the secret room, are heavy granite, the granite is hung with an ever-bright lamp, this ever-bright lamp is made of whale oil, a lamp is added to oil once, it can be lit for ten years without extinguishing, this ever-bright lamp is hung in the secret room, not only for lighting, but also to remind the people here whether the air in the secret room is circulating, killing two birds with one stone.

In the secret room, there is a soft collapse for meditation, and there are several human-shaped iron targets used for tricks, which is also the standard configuration of the secret room.

Yan Liqiang, who came to the underground secret room, did not collapse, but groped on a wall on the west side of the secret room, and quickly drew a few horizontal and vertical lines on the granite with his fingers, and the surface of the granite emitted a faint light, and then the whole stone was dented, opening like a door, revealing a passage.

Behind the passage, there is another secret room, even in the dark, this secret room is full of colors, shining with red, blue, yellow, green and other kinds of brilliance, these brilliance comes from the secret room is full of all kinds of alien beast nucleus, as well as pieces of various metals, these things are placed on a huge metal support, the walls of the secret room, are also metal, there are dense circles of runes on it......

If anyone who understands enters this place and sees the layout here, they will definitely be surprised, because such a room is where the array talisman maker's cloth talisman is located!

Yan Liqiang, who entered this secret room, waved his hand, and the open door was closed, and then the runes on the walls of this secret room also lit up......

Yan Liqiang came directly to the metal frame in the secret room, took out the black arrow in his arms, played with it in his hand, and said to himself, "The black cloud iron and the nuclear crystal powder of the winged snake are well conceived, but these beginner-level formation talismans are a little rougher......
