Chapter 16 Alluring the City and the Country

Xiao Chengcheng was born in a very special family, the history of his family can even be traced back to the first unified feudal dynasty in ancient China - the Qin Dynasty, it is rumored that his ancestors were the side branch of the Qin State Ying clan, and had secretly formed a spy unit on the order of King Qin Zhuang, which was the predecessor of the black ice platform that was rumored in later generations, and it can be said that it is a spy family of Genhong Miaozheng.

As the saying goes, once the son of heaven is a courtier, and a new person replaces the old, but the Xiao family did not disappear in the long river of history with the fall of the Qin Dynasty, but was passed down from generation to generation, regardless of the replacement of the thousand-year-old dynasty, and even in the modern society after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The reason for this is that the ancestors of the Xiao family 'follow the trend and protect oneself' in front of them, and there are complex reasons for human nature - even in the most enlightened era, the ruling class needs someone to carry out some things that are not suitable for putting on the table, and to deal with some dirty things that do not want to be noticed by the world.

And the Xiao family plays the most hidden, darkest and best used 'knife' in the hands of the ruling class.

For the winner, since it is a knife, as long as it is held in his own hands, it is a good weapon, with ready-made, why bother to forge another one?

As for whether this 'knife' will scratch itself...... The strong will never be so worried, because they have the confidence to hold the 'knife' in their hands, but they will worry that it will prove that the person holding the 'knife' is no longer strong.

Thanks to this way of survival, the Xiao family can be like a reef in the water, unmoved by the waves of the times, and continue to this day.

Born in such a family, even in the last days, Xiao Qingcheng has received a special education since he was a child, from the basic observation of words and colors to acting and acting to play various characters, from fighting techniques to the use of various firearms and firearms and even the deployment and use of simple chemical weapons, from the languages and writings of many countries to various etiquette and culture from ancient times to the present, and even methods to please the opposite sex, from how to infiltrate the enemy to steal intelligence to assassinate an important target or even destroy an important facility, From survival in the wild, to self-preservation on the battlefield and even in the end of the world...... Xiao Tingcheng is proficient in almost everything, and her sister Xiao Tingguo is known as the peerless Shuangjiao of the Xiao family, and is known as the most outstanding talent of the Xiao family in the past three hundred years.

Maybe Xiao Tingcheng and his sister Xiao Tingguo are really too outstanding, so outstanding that the Xiao family, who has been hidden behind the scenes, has a different heart because of the two of them, and they are unwilling to be a 'knife' in the hands of others, but want to experience the pleasure of 'dividing the land as the king' in the last days of this group of heroes.

However, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, and the Xiao family, who has always been making 'knives', obviously does not have such a device.

Those who can divide one side in this last world are undoubtedly heroes, and the original master of the Xiao family, the owner of Yanjing City, the largest survival base in China, Ye Zhenlun, is the hero of the heroes.

Therefore, the Xiao family, who wanted to spread their wings and fly alone, was tragic

The entire family was bloodied overnight, with male members killed, not even boys of a few years old, and most of the female members captured, whose fate was worse than being killed.

Only Xiao Tingcheng and his sister Xiao Tingguo escaped with their outstanding abilities on the way to the escort, and then escaped from Yanjing City, and were rescued by an adult when they were forced into a desperate situation by the pursuers who followed, and finally because of their own and sister's excellent external conditions and the courage to recommend themselves, they were appointed by the adult as the administrator of the City of Angels, and became an existence above ten thousand people under one person.

Originally, the whole family had been plotting for a long time but finally failed, and even suffered the disaster of annihilation because of this, but it was achieved because of one person's words, and the impact on Xiao Qingcheng's soul can be imagined.

Every time he thinks of what happened in the past ten days since he was exterminated, Xiao Qingcheng not only lamented the strange and strange fate, but also had great awe and admiration for the adult who changed his fate.

Before this, Xiao Qingcheng was only in awe of one person - Ye Zhenlun, the city lord of Yanjing City, even if the other party wiped out the Xiao family, but that made the awe in her heart even worse, and her self-righteous intelligence and outstanding ability seemed so ridiculous in front of the other party's hero-level courage and strategy, and even became a nightmare in her heart for a time.

However, now after meeting that adult, Xiao Qingcheng felt that her previous awe was also so ridiculous, Ye Zhenlun, who was defined as an absolute powerhouse in her original thinking concept, was as small as an ant in front of that adult.

"Perhaps, it's not even an ant~!" Standing in the elevator at a constant speed, looking down at the increasingly magnificent steel city below through the transparent bulkhead, Xiao Qingcheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Maybe it's really a sister's heart, Xiao Tianguo, the younger sister who was standing on the side, noticed the unrest in her sister's heart, and hesitated for a moment as if there was something difficult to decide, but finally made up her mind, pursed her pink cherry lips and asked, "Sister, when are we going to save ......?"

Smack——!

"Forgot what I told you?!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a loud slap, followed by a repressed scold.

Catching a glimpse of the angry look on his sister's face, Xiao Tianguo covered his cheeks that were reddened, lowered his head silently with slightly red eyes, and said in a low voice: "Sister, I was wrong." ”

Seeing that his sister was a little aggrieved, as if he felt that he was a little too harsh, Xiao Qingcheng couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, stepped forward and hugged his sister in his arms, and whispered in his sister's ear: "Sister, you have to understand that we can have such a status and ability now all because of the trust of the Lord, if the Lord thinks that we have ulterior motives, even if it is just suspicion, we may not recover, a lesson from the past!" ”

The last sigh seemed to evoke the sad memories of the extermination of the clan in Xiao Tianguo's heart, and her face couldn't help showing a trace of panic and sadness, but it was quickly replaced by firmness, and while raising her hand to hug her sister, she nodded lightly: "Well, sister, I understand." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qingcheng's pretty face showed a touching smile, and gently patted his sister's back, and then, as if afraid that his next words would be heard by outsiders, he put his warm red lips to his sister's ear, and said in an almost indistinguishable voice: "Sister, sister knows that you want to save your mother and sister-in-law, with the power we control now, this is not a difficult thing, but you must understand that this is all given to us by the Lord, if we use it privately elsewhere to make the Lord unhappy, it will ...... then."

Speaking of this, Xiao Qingcheng raised his head slightly, glanced up with a pair of beautiful eyes and quickly lowered it, and continued: "There is no need for the Lord to do it then, Lord Tie can make you and me worse than dead, you are in charge of the Military Department, and you must know better than my sister what those scientific research institutes are doing." ”

Xiao Tingcheng's voice was small but clear into Xiao Tingguo's ears, and suddenly, as if he remembered something terrible, Xiao Tingguo's eyes revealed a deep fear color, and even the whole delicate body trembled slightly, after reacting, she also nodded hurriedly, and said with a slight trembling: "Sister, you, don't say it!" I know! I know! ”

Sensing the strangeness of his sister's mood, Xiao Tingcheng suddenly straightened up with a little surprise, because she was in charge of a different situation, she hadn't seen what those scientific research institutes were doing, she had just heard others say it was terrifying, but it was unknown what the specific horror method was and how terrifying it was, and she just wanted her sister to have scruples and not do stupid things on impulse, but now judging from her sister's somewhat radical performance, I am afraid that this thing is much more terrible than she imagined.

"But it's okay, so you don't have to worry about doing stupid things."

Thinking like this in his heart, seeing that his sister still looked palpitating, Xiao Qingcheng also smiled and raised his hand to pinch his sister's small nose, and quipped: "Minister Xiao, who is known as the goddess of icebergs, was scared like this because of a sentence, and I am afraid that I will shock the jaws of a bunch of people when I say it." ”

Xiao Tingguo was stunned when he heard this, and then his pretty face turned red, and he arched his head into a pair of great shores on his sister Xiao Tingcheng's chest, and said, "Sister, you are playing tricks on me again!" ”

Gently rubbed his sister's head dotingly, Xiao Tingcheng wanted to continue to joke, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of a red sandalwood hairpin pinned to his sister's soft green silk, in an instant, Xiao Tingcheng looked stunned, and then he didn't know what memories were evoked, and gently stroked the hairpin, until the sister in his arms raised her head with some doubts, she sighed softly, and said softly: "Sister, sister promises you, when the time is ripe, you will save your mother and sister-in-law as soon as possible." ”

Although he was a little puzzled why his sister suddenly said such a thing, Xiao Tianguo still followed and nodded, "Well, sister, I believe in you." Then she didn't know what she remembered, she looked up at her sister, a wicked smile faintly hooked up on the corner of her mouth, and asked with an ignorant look: "Sister, what is the right time?" ”

Looking at his sister's beautiful face that was better than herself, Xiao Qingcheng suddenly smiled, raised her hand and pinched her sister's smooth and fair little face, and said, "You little girl, you ask knowingly, do you want to see my sister's joke?" ”

"How can anyone have it!"

Seeing his sister's pretending to be innocent, Xiao Qingcheng shook his head and smiled, did not argue anymore, turned his head to look at the dazzling and shining tall city wall under the sunlight, and the tall towers on the city wall with blue light flowing one after another, and replied softly: "Of course, when the Lord is willing to favor us." ”
