Chapter 296: Sword Heart City
This night is destined to be an unforgettable night.
That night, six of the nine northern estates were attacked by unknown figures in the base camp of Chang'an Mansion, and all the six estates were destroyed, with fewer casualties but heavy losses.
What's even more uncomfortable is that the heads of the six families have rushed to their manors one after another to witness all this.
There is nothing more painful in the world than to watch your home destroyed and not be able to do anything about it.
In the early morning of the next day, the heads of the eighteen families in the north and south gathered together, looking at him Mu Chang'an, who was sleeping happily on the screen, and finally relented and called him.
"Mr. Mu, I think we can talk. ”
An hour later, Mu Changan sat in the conference room, but the screen disappeared.
"We hope this is the end of the matter. Wang Zhentian, the head of the Wang family, dragged his injured body to resist the conference room, staring at Mu Changan with a gloomy face, he hated Mu Changan so much that he wanted to slap him to death with one palm.
"What do you mean?" Mu Changan took out a lollipop from his pocket and opened it into his mouth, asking suspiciously.
"Mr. Mu, Mingren doesn't say secret words, your two companies will lift all restrictions today and can continue to operate normally. In exchange, we hope that attacks like last night's will stop. Gou Chengcai said expressionlessly.
Compared with Wang Zhentian, he actually has no less resentment towards Mu Changan, but he is good at hiding it, so that people can't see what he thinks in his heart.
"How did I not know about the attack last night?" Mu Changan said with a confused expression.
Seeing his appearance, the heads of the eighteen families in the north and south each glanced at each other, and finally the Hippo Emperor motioned to his personal female secretary to turn on the projector and replay the video of the attack taken by someone last night.
In the video, a masked man in black came quickly, and a building collapsed directly after a palm, screaming in fright, and the destruction of the man in black continued, and the last fire soared into the sky, shouting and angry.
It wasn't until the manor was completely buried in the fire that the projection went dark and the eyes returned to the conference room.
"I didn't do it, I went back to the hotel after a fight at a nightclub last night. Mu Changan replied honestly like a good baby.
Didn't you do it?
Some people have to believe this!
Now the heads of the eighteen families in the north and south are no longer in the mood to continue to play dumb riddles with Mu Changan, and make eye contact, and the Hippo Emperor said: "Whether you did it or not, our sincerity has been done, and inviting you over today is to take the initiative to explain this matter to you clearly, I hope you don't mind." ”
"Of course I don't mind, I'm very happy, thank you for being able to release my company, thank you. In this way, it will be almost noon, otherwise I will be the east, please have lunch, how about the hot pot?" Mu Changan smiled, bowed his hand, and thanked him very sincerely.
Eighteen Heads of Families in the North and South: "......"
Naturally, they would not be willing to eat this hot pot with Mu Changan, what if they were choked to death.
No one accepted Mu Changan's invitation, and he didn't get angry, and left with a satisfied expression.
Take out your mobile phone and re-download the Hippo Travel App to purchase tickets.
Now the network is also good.
The plane is no longer out of order.
Hippo drivers don't say they don't run long distances......
On the same day, Evergreen Pharmaceutical resumed normal business.
Spirit Pet Research Group has also started selling spirit animal eggs online.
In short, everything suddenly changed for the better.
"The world is still so beautiful, and the air is still so clear. ”
......
In another world, on the Cursed God Continent, the road-opening team led by the Red Spirit ran into trouble.
"Red Deacon, the front is about to arrive in Sword Heart City, according to the report of the spies in front, the walls of Sword Heart City remain intact, and there are people guarding the city gates!"
On a small hillside, Shui Baining was announcing the movement ahead to the red spirit.
Hong Ling became the commander-in-chief this time, and Sect Master Mu personally crowned the position of deacon of the Fengyue Sect, and all the disciples of the Fengyue Sect must obey her orders.
It's unfortunate, I don't know if Hong Ling is unhappy with their four inner disciples, and directly transferred them to the front line as spies, probing the road conditions in front all day long, not to mention the hardships and tiredness, and sleeping in the open, it is simply damaging the reputation of the inner disciples of the Fengyue Sect, if you don't dare to resist, you will have to protest twice.
Hong Ling once crossed four thousand miles from Yongle City to Qiuchuyuan, and she was actually still familiar with the road conditions, but some places on the road she took were not suitable for building roads, so she specially redesigned the route planning, and this Sword Heart City is one of them.
Jianxin City, she had heard of it, but she didn't enter it when she went to Qiuchuyuan, but she heard that this city had not been destroyed, and she knew very little about the situation inside.
Since I didn't know the situation in Kenshin City, I naturally had to send someone to inquire.
"Shui Baining, Nine Idiots, Xia Yuan, Dugu Long Sword, this deacon ordered the four of you to enter Sword Heart City to investigate the situation, and be sure to understand all the data in Sword Heart City clearly!"
If you want to say who is the best in this army, it is naturally the four disciples of the inner gate.
First of all, the strength is strong, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to come back.
Secondly, it is the number one dog leg under Mu Changan, which is naturally handy to use.
"Red Butler......" Shui Baining hesitated for a moment, wanting to try to refuse the task.
"Huh?" Hong Ling raised his eyebrows and asked with an unkind face, "What's the matter?"
"Naturally, I don't dare, so the disciple will go. Shui Baining hurriedly surrendered his hand, and turned to leave after answering, and the three Xia Yuan in the back also gave up their orders and turned to leave.
They are much more knowledgeable than Shui Baining, knowing that they can't do it, they directly choose to obey.
Hong Ling looked at their departing backs and snorted disdainfully: "The four lackeys of Chu City, don't think that the old lady of the Fengyue Sect will not recognize you!"
It's a pity that the four of Shui Baining didn't hear this, otherwise they don't know how they would feel in their hearts.
Under the gates of Kenshin Castle.
The four of them stood here, looking at the tall city wall and the guards under the city wall, and hesitated to stop.
"Senior Brother Nine Idiots, why don't you go and take a look first?" Shui Baining swallowed his saliva and asked.
Hearing this, the nine idiots clasped their hands together and whispered: "Senior brother, the last thing that senior brother is good at is to find out the news, so let Senior Brother Xia Yuan go." ”
Hearing this, Xia Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I've been to Sword Heart City a few times before, if I go in to find out the news, I will inevitably meet someone I know well, won't I expose my whereabouts at that time?" ”
When Dugu Changjian heard this, he said coolly: "I will only kill people." ”
It's also true, Dugu Changjian doesn't talk much on weekdays, and it's even more unrealistic to expect him to find out the news.
So the three of them looked at Shui Baining again.
If you want to say who is the most suitable to find out the news, it is undoubtedly Shui Baining.
"Why don't we join us. Shui Baining pondered that he couldn't shirk the left and right, so he simply pulled down the water together, anyway, if something happened at that time, he could still have a helper to improve his safety and security.
In the end, the four of them walked towards Kenshin City together.
"Stop, where are the people!" The guards under the city gate saw that the four of them were about to enter Kenshin City, and with a loud bang, they pulled out the long sword in their hands and pointed at them and asked.
"We are adventurers, it is getting late, and we want to go into the city to find an inn to rest. Shui Baining greeted him with a smile and made an excuse.
"Sword Heart City has been occupied by our Sword Heart Sect, we don't accept outsiders, leave quickly!" The city gate guards directly rejected Shui Baining's request to enter the city.
Kenshin Sect?
Is there such a sect?
Shui Baining turned his head and glanced at Xia Yuan.
Xia Yuan understood and explained in a low voice: "The Sword Heart Sect is a seven-grade sect in the Sword Heart City, the sect has a deep heritage, when the Sword Heart City was built, the Sword Heart Sect made a huge contribution, and the Xia Emperor gave this city the name of the Sword Heart City in order to reward the Sword Heart Sect." ”
It's actually the Seven-Rank Sect entrenched in the city!
This surprised them a little.
Maybe it was because he saw that Shui Baining had no choice, Xia Yuan had no choice but to take the initiative to say: "I am Xia Yuan, the nineteenth prince of Great Xia, and I have a lot of connections with your Sword Heart Sect Sect Master Sword Thirteen......"
"What sword thirteen sword fourteen!" Xia Yuan's words were interrupted by the other party before he finished speaking, and said impatiently: "The current sect master of our Sword Heart Sect is Jian Wuxin, not Sword Thirteen. And I don't care what kind of prince you are in the Great Xia, now that the aura is exhausted, it is useless for the Xia Emperor to come, hurry up and get out of here, otherwise don't blame us for being polite!"
Yes, the identity of the prince of Great Xia doesn't work.
"This little brother, I don't know if I can be tolerant......" Shui Baining suddenly had ten more spirit stones in his hand and wanted to hand them over.
"Let's go, let's go, let's say ten spirit stones, even a hundred, a thousand spirit stones won't work!"
The four of Shui Baining glanced at each other, and had no choice but to retreat.
"Strange, why don't you let people in?" said Shui Baining on the way back, frowning.
"I always feel that this city is a little weird. Dugu Changjian couldn't help but speak.
"The guards looked panicked, obviously not wanting us to enter the city, it seems that there must be some unknown secrets in this city. The nine idiots put their hands together and said.
Xia Yuan frowned slightly, silent, as if thinking about something.
The group soon returned to the hill, and Hong Ling had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw them coming back, he hurriedly asked, "How is it?
Shui Baining shook his head and said, "Deacon Huihong, we were stopped by the guards outside Sword Heart City, and they didn't let us in no matter what method they used. ”
After that, Shui Baining told Hong Ling all what had just happened.
After hearing this, Hong Ling was also puzzled, there were still people who blocked the city and prevented outsiders from entering?
Impossible!
Even if it is a black-hearted city lord, it is right to directly open the city gate and trick people in, and then kill people and seize wealth inside.
But this operation that directly drove people away has never been seen before.
You must know that in the era of depletion of spiritual energy, population has become an important measure of whether a city can develop, especially since each population may carry a large number of treasures, spirit stones, which are completely a gold ingot.
"Red Deacon, my subordinates think that there must be some unknown secrets hidden in this city, do you want to report this matter to Sect Master Mu?
"Just a Sword Heart City is going to find Mu Chang'an?" Hong Ling looked surprised, shook his head and said: "I don't care what secrets there are in this Sword Heart City, this deacon, our goal is not to occupy this city, but to open the road ahead." Since they won't let us in, we won't go in, and we will order to go down, and the follow-up paving craftsmen will speed up their progress tonight, and we must arrive at Kenshin City tomorrow!"
"Red Deacon, we can't know the internal situation of Sword Heart City now, what if the paving pioneer arrives and is attacked by the forces in Sword Heart City!" Xia Yuan asked with a frown, he didn't agree with Red Spirit's approach, because this behavior was more reckless, you must know that most of the craftsmen who paved the road were not very strong, and it was difficult to parry danger when encountered, and it was easy to suffer heavy damage.
"It's okay, just do as you are told, the purpose of this deacon is to draw out the forces of Kenshin City. Hong Ling said confidently.
Seeing this, the four of them naturally didn't want to say anything, so they obediently took the order to report.
At night, the Paving Pioneers began to speed up their progress, which was not very far away, and the damage to the road was extremely slight, so they only needed to fill in the small holes with potholes, so they quickly arrived outside Kenshin Castle and headed west.
The sound at night was particularly clear, and the huge paving project obviously attracted the attention of Kenshin Castle, and many white figures gradually appeared on the city gate, which looked quite strange under the light on the city wall.
In the central tent of the paving road, Hong Ling squinted his eyes at Sword Heart City, and the four inner disciples standing behind him.
"You say, what are these people doing by locking themselves up in the city day by day?"
When the four of them heard this, they shook their heads one after another, which made them guess and couldn't guess.
"During the day, the disciples went to investigate, and according to the city gate guards, the current sect master of the Sword Heart Sect was named Jian Wuxin, but in the impression of the disciples, they remembered that the sect masters of the Sword Heart Sect were all named after the ranks, and the last sect master before the spiritual energy was exhausted was called Sword Thirteen. Xia Yuan still has some understanding of the Sword Heart Sect, and he expressed his doubts.
"You mean that if Sword Thirteen died, the current Sword Heart Sect Master should be called Sword Fourteen, not Sword Wuxin?"
Xia Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, this is an unwritten rule in the Sword Heart Sect, and the sect masters of all generations have consciously abided by it since the establishment of the Sword Heart Sect, and it stands to reason that there will be no changes in the future......
"This Sword Heart City is really getting more and more curious...... "Hong Ling squinted his eyes, looked at the Sword Heart City in the distance, and said meaningfully.
"Red Butler, the paving is going well, since the road is well preserved, we have completed the repair, do you want to choose to build a sentry here?"
"Repair it again, build it more slowly, and build the guard tower more slowly. Hong Ling said meaningfully.
When the four people behind him heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they understood that the red deacon was interested in Sword Heart City, and they wanted to find out!
