Chapter 221: Confusion
Although the ghost cat is very irritable and cold, it is still quite reputable, since it promised to sell Xu Dong a favor and can meet one of his requests, it will naturally not regret it...... Of course, this is also one of the inevitable consequences of mission rewards.
Carrying eight pieces of equipment to leave Cat Mountain, Xu Dong thought about it, simply let the strip reveal the prototype, and then climbed onto its body, letting it carry itself to Blood Helmet City. After treating Xiao Hei, it can be said that the blood power in the body is consumed, and it is natural to recover the qi.
It is rare that the blood power is consumed, it is a good time to cultivate, how could Xu Dong let go of such a good opportunity, of course, he took out two temperer cores for cultivation. And with the strength of his Slam Awakener, the place of the Ghost Forest is really rampant, and he is not afraid of being ambushed and robbed by rare beasts or adventurers at all.
And this guy is also talented enough, he can still cultivate while traveling, and the core energy of the temperer leaked by Xu Dong's cultivation was completely absorbed by it without a trickle, turning into a steady stream of bodies, and in such a day and night running, it only took two days and two nights for them to return to the guard barracks outside the Blood Helmet City.
At this time, there are only a few days left before the coming-of-age ceremony of His Royal Highness Chenguang, in order to ensure that there is no room for mistakes, the gate guards have already dispersed all their forces and conducted an all-out investigation of the fierce battalion that broke through the border, and even Cheng Jianbang was so busy during this time that his heel hit the back of his head.
Xu Dong's identity had already been identified by the door guards, and as soon as they saw him appear, they immediately opened the door and let him in. Soon, he saw the bloodshot Chengjianbang.
At this time, Chengjianbang, depressed, tired, was thinking hard in front of the military map, and Xu Dong heard him muttering to himself: "Where did you go?" How could there be no trace of a whole two hundred and fifty people? β
It wasn't until Xu Dong lifted the tent that Cheng Jianbang suddenly realized that someone had entered, and when he Huo Ran looked up and saw the identity of the person who came, his eyes first burst into consternation, followed by a long sigh, "Xu Dong, are you already a slam awakener?" Guardian sent his henchmen to me to report the situation as early as two days ago, and they all said that you killed the two angry men and old horses with your own strength, and pursued the demon fox with your tail, and the three Slam Awakened were killed by you and two defeated one, I still didn't believe it at the time, but now I believe it. β
Xu Dong just smiled indifferently, "It's just a fluke." β
Cheng Jianbang sighed again with emotion, "When we met for the first time, you were a one-star awakener, and when we met for the second time, you were already a four-star awakener. Your cultivation is incredibly fast! I'm afraid that the cat beaters in Iron Boots City may not have a fluke like you! β
Thinking about it carefully, in less than three months, from a one-star awakened person to a slam awakened person, from an unknown pawn, to a stomped foot, the head of the order shelter Zuo who stomped his feet and shook the Blood Helmet City three times, this way is really full of legends, not to mention that there is no one to come, but it must be unprecedented, and it can leave a strong mark in the history of Blood Helmet City.
Xu Dong and Cheng Jianbang exchanged pleasantries, and inquired about the situation of the barracks, knowing that there was still no trace of each other. His Royal Highness Chenguang's coming-of-age ceremony is imminent, and the storage of the barracks is like a blade hanging above his head, and he doesn't know when he will jump out, if Chenguang is injured because of this, not to mention the battalion owner of a mere guard army, even the city lord will be greatly implicated, and naturally he can't tolerate the city Jianbang not doing his best to find the traces of the enemy.
However, in this regard, Xu Dong couldn't help, he suddenly thought of something, and asked: "By the way, you just said that the city protector sent someone to report the situation, I don't know where the person is now?" β
Cheng Jianbang pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically, "What are you investigating?" The messenger can't even tell me, saying that he has special information to bring to you, and you must check it yourself! β
The messenger was not someone else, it was the monk who was one of the five recruits before, and after the monk saw Xu Dong, he didn't say much, obviously he still had a mustard in his heart, but just handed him a cowhide scroll. After he stepped back, Xu Dong opened the cowhide scroll and read it carefully.
As early as when the city protector left, Xu Dong explained some things to him. After defeating the Nu Han Battalion and saving the bayonet battalion, Xu Dongcai finally realized that the strength of the Nu Han Battalion was much stronger than Han Gengxin's mouth, not only two more guards belonged to the reinforced battalion, but also there were three Grand Slam Awakened Ones, among which the Nu Han was only a millimeter away from becoming a tempered strongman.
If it weren't for the coincidence, not only would he not be able to successfully rescue the bayonet battalion, but I am afraid that he would even be able to get in!
If there is no conspiracy in this, how can it be?
Therefore, the thing that Xu Dong investigated after the return of the city protector was Han Gengxin and Li Zhan, why did they want to put themselves to death! After he carefully read the information on this cowhide scroll, an unforgettable chill suddenly appeared in his heart.
Xu Dong couldn't have imagined that the reason why he was remembered by Han Gengxin and Li Zhan was because he killed Liang Gu!
However, in connection with the time period when he killed Liang Gu and got the news that the bayonet battalion was in an ambush - although he was not a soldier in the army, he also knew that the supplies of the Fifth Corps of Yangshanling were usually transported once a month, and the soldiers who sent the message that the bayonet battalion of Jianbang in SΓΉ City had been ambushed also came and went in a hurry, in other words, Han Gengxin and Li Zhan had no reason to know about their battle with Liang Gu at all.
At this point, it is obvious that the protection of the city has also appeared, and it is also clear that there is a force that secretly transmits information. And the source of this clue is actually a certain shop in Blood Helmet City that specializes in selling ornaments. The name of this shop is called the castle lord's ornament.
What makes Xu Dong even more unacceptable is that in this city lord's ornament, there is a share of the city lord, and now the city lord is thousands of miles away, this one of the best jewelry shops in the Blood Helmet City pΓΉ is naturally temporarily managed by His Royal Highness Chenguang!
Thinking of the person he regarded as a brother would actually stab such a silent cold knife, Xu Dong couldn't help but be cold! And after thinking about it carefully, when it came to the main task, Xu Dong suddenly felt dizzy and powerless.
As I said before, although the Great 6 of Middle-earth maintains a delicate peace on the surface, it is secretly turbulent, and the battle in the border land has never stopped. In such an environment, once the border of the Dachen Empire is invaded, there is a good chance that the already tense situation will be broken, which will lead to a war between the two countries!
And His Royal Highness Chenguang is a prince and temporarily commands the border city, and he is already righteous, and he wants to hold the military power, control the Fifth Corps, and then plot the 14th Frontier Army, of course, it is logical!! At that time, the real power is in hand, and the king's life will not be affected by it, which is really the true meaning of Go, with a golden horn and silver edge grass belly, and an extremely clever good chess hand!!
He thought about it again, he was cheated by Han Gengxin and Li Zhan, it is estimated that there are many personal grievances, and it is also just the right time for him to fall into the game, but whether Chen Guang is the goal of the main quest or not, he really can't guarantee it.
For a while, Xu Dong still had an indescribable feeling, as if he was in a thick fog, the distant scenery was hazy and difficult to distinguish, and he stretched out his hand to stir it hard, the fog would dissipate, but it quickly regathered.
Putting aside these complicated thoughts, Xu Dong left the guard barracks and returned to the order shelter. Now that he is in an important position, this run is more than half a month, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a corpse vegetarian meal, and the piled up on the desk waiting to be dealt with also illustrates this situation from the side.
Not long after Xu Dong sat down, the door was pushed open by Shengsheng, no, it should be kicked open!
The door of his office, made of solid wood, was a finger thick, and after it was kicked open, it slammed against the wall with a loud bang, and even the dust above his head fell in a swoop. Looking at the person again, the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, although wearing the uniform of the shelter management, always give people a feeling of being a monkey and crown, not only does not have the slightest sense of righteousness and awe, but it seems to be extraordinarily flowing.
Xu Dong's heart moved, and he soon knew who it was.
The order shelter is divided into two systems, one is the internal service, the other is the field service, the field service is naturally the patrol officer, and the internal service is responsible for the logistics support of the patrol officer, including equipment maintenance, salary and so on. Whether it is field or in-house, they are generally ordinary people, that is, non-armor soldiers.
But the Shelter of Order has to deal with a wide range of people, from ordinary civilians to high-ranking armorers. Can field patrol officers get their hands on criminals every time they catch them? Therefore, the director also has his own authority to appoint cronies. Generally, five cronies can be appointed to take charge of a battalion of patrol officers.
The salaries of these cronies are not guaranteed by the city's finances, but are borne by the appointees. From this point, it can be seen that in the official system at this time, it is really sad for the children of commoners to ascend to the throne, and the authority of city management is often in the hands of the nobles!
And this sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy, named Wang Gui, is one of the five cronies appointed by Li Xing, the head of the right office.
After Wang Gui kicked open Xu Dong's door, he was suddenly stunned, and then his face turned white, and then his whole body trembled, and he covered up the thick gate in fear, and then he hunched his waist, his head was almost on his knees, and finally said in a trembling voice: "Left, Zuo, Lord, Lord, Yes, please, please move to the hall." β
The reason why there is such an arrogant attitude first and then respectful is because Xu Dong did not restrain his breath and let the breath of the Slam Awakened be vented. Although Wang Gui is only a four-star awakener, he follows the boss of a five-star awakener, and the so-called dog beating depends on the master, so he is naturally arrogant and arrogant. How do you know that Director Left has transformed into a Slam Awakener, and even Director Right has to nod his head, not to mention that he is just a dog?
However, Wang Gui is also a human spirit, and he changes his face so quickly that Xu Dong doesn't even have a chance to start.
After hearing this, Xu Dong tidied up the clothes on his body and strode towards the hall.
