Chapter Eighty-Seven: A City-wide Search

There are two main reasons why Gu Liman has the idea of "Jessica, a, to chase Wang Xiaotian's little white face".

One is that Jessica didn't tell Gu Liman that her target was Wang Xiaotian and them. And Gu Liman himself did not put the target on Wang Xiaotian's side.

Because he didn't know that Wang Xiaotian and the others were invited by Kabal from all over the world to find Princess Nia and the visiting group. He has always regarded Wang Xiaotian as an ordinary business traveler.

And the reason why Jessica didn't tell Gu Liman about this was because she was worried that Gu Liman would be impulsive and go directly to Wang Xiaotian for trouble, which ruined her plan to wait for the rabbit. The lack of information communication between the two sides has reflected Gu Liman's judgment.

Another reason is that Wang Xiaotian left a very good impression on Gu Liman.

As the saying goes, what everyone envies is what he lacks. Gu Liman is a martial artist, long ...... It's hard to put into words. Therefore, what he envies the most is the handsome guy who is long and jade, and the jade tree is in the wind. Wang Xiaotian just met this condition, not to mention, Wang Xiaotian was already a sixth-level Force Master at a young age.

Handsome, the Force level is still high. Gu Liman was very envious of Wang Xiaotian. He took it for granted that women would also fall in love with Wang Xiaotian at first sight. In fact, it is also a generally accepted idea.

What's more, not long ago, at the engagement banquet between Wang Xiaotian and Lu Ziming, another person snatched his love and stirred it up.

Of course, in Gu Liman's opinion, that incident was purely because Wang Xiaotian was amazingly charming, and he almost dug into the corner of the other party. Although Wang Xiaotian withdrew in the end and fulfilled the other party, from another side, it also proved that Wang Xiaotian is indeed popular with women.

Jessica is also a woman, and she is also a mature, spring-hearted woman. Such a woman would not be moved by Wang Xiaotian?

Therefore, when Gu Liman learned that Jessica was chasing Wang Xiaotian out of the city, he didn't expect that the matter was related to Princess Nia, but scolded Jessica. said that she was a nymphomaniac, and in order to chase men, she left everything serious behind. Then, he began to wonder how to find Princess Nia.

A few nights earlier, Jessica had told him that Cabal had arrived in Dushant. Gulman felt that since Jessica said that if she found Cabal, she would be able to find Princess Nia. Now that Jessica is not in Dushante, he is always waiting, and it is not a problem, so it is better to start searching for Cabal all over the city!

Just do it. Gulman immediately went to the city lord's mansion in person and asked the city lord to send people to cooperate with the royal guards he led to conduct a house-to-house search of Dushante.

When the Emir City Lord heard Gulman's suggestion, he was stunned.

When Gulman saw Emir's astonishment, he thought that his plan was so clever that Emir was shocked at him. He couldn't help but be smug.

The emir came to his senses, coughed, and said, "That, General Gulman, the weather is good today." Have you eaten it? You haven't eaten it, I just didn't eat it either, I'll ask someone to get some finger meat, roast leg of lamb, let's eat some together?"

Gu Liman was confused, he couldn't figure out why the Emir City Lord suddenly talked about eating. However, as soon as Emir said to eat, he also felt hungry, why don't you eat some together?

Gu Liman suddenly reacted with a spirit. Eat a fart, eat it! Did you come here in a hurry to eat?

Also finger meat, roast leg of lamb, is one enough to eat?

No. Is it time to eat these? I came here to let him send troops to cooperate with the search of the city!

He immediately swallowed his saliva and waved his hand again and again, "The city lord's kindness, this general understands it." However, I have come to ask the city lord to send troops to search together. Besides, now is not the time to eat, I will come to the city lord again in the evening and have a good meal. ”

The Emir City Lord suddenly burst into smoke. He scolded secretly: "Stupid pig! I said that you would invite you to dinner, and you still took it seriously! Can't you understand what you are saying anyway?

The emir glanced at the serious Gulman, thought for a moment, and said, "General Gulman, how many royal guards did you bring?"

Gu Liman said: "Fifty-five." ”

The emir asked again: "Do you know how many there are in Dushant?"

Gu Liman rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not your Dushant general, how do I know how many people there are in your city?"

The emir sighed again and said, "There are more than 100,000 people in Dushant. There were less than 2,000 soldiers in the entire city, 1,000 guarding the city lord's mansion, grain depots, water supply stations, oil depots and other key points, and 200 guarding the east and west gates. Of the remaining 800 people, 400 were scattered around to maintain law and order. ”

Puzzled, Gully asked, "What about the four hundred?"

The emir said: "Man is not a machine, there must be time to rest, right? ”

Gu Liman still didn't understand, and asked, "City Lord, what are you telling this?"

The emir had no choice but to make his words clear, "General, I am telling you this to make you understand. I have no one to send to you. ”

Gu Liman looked dissatisfied, and said, "Aren't there four hundred rests? Let them cancel the rest and come to work." In addition, in addition to the two city gates, the soldiers guarding the other places can also take out half of the soldiers and search the whole city with the royal guards. ”

The emir immediately said: "General." Absolutely not!"

Gu Liman said loudly: "Why not?"

The emir was furious, and shouted, "Of course not! I am in charge, and I have the final say! I say that I can't search, but I can't search. ”

Seeing that Emir was angry, Gulman calmed down instead. He smiled coldly and said, "Emir City Lord, please figure it out. I am representing the Grand Prince, negotiating with you. ”

Suddenly the emir withered like a frosted eggplant. Although he was the lord of a city and the emperor of the land in Dushante, he had a fatal handle in the hands of the eldest prince, so that he had to obey the eldest prince.

Hearing that Gulman pulled out the eldest prince to threaten him, although the emir was eager to chop Gulman into two pieces with one sword, he had to suppress his anger and patiently explain to him, "General Gulman, I know that you represent the eldest prince. For the eldest prince, I am full of respect. But please also consider my suffering. ”

"The more than 100,000 people in Dushant are not ordinary residents, at least half of them are business travelers from all over the world, and they all have great power. If they riot, no, even a third of them, no, a tenth of them, will riot, and the strength at hand will not be able to cope with it. ”

Gu Li glared, "They dare! I will let the soldiers of the royal guard follow, as long as anyone dares to make trouble, they will be killed!"

"Besides, we're just investigating, not arresting and killing. Those caravans came all the way here in search of wealth. As long as we don't touch their belongings, who will get into trouble themselves?"

"And. The purpose of this general's visit this time, I believe you already know it, the city lord. If you can't complete this task, or if you delay it for too long, the second prince will receive the news and personally lead the army over......"

Emir couldn't help but shudder when he heard Gulman's words. The second prince of the Canaan Federation, Maktoum, is notorious.

Particularly frightening is his moodiness. One second he was talking and laughing, and the next second he immediately turned his face and pulled out a knife to cut the person to the ground. Over the years, he led his troops to fight and quell rebellions, and I don't know how many tribes were slaughtered by him. Its murderous reputation is in the Canaanite Federation and its surrounding areas, which can stop children from crying at night.

If he led his army to Dushant, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The emir struggled for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay." I promise you to send troops to search the whole process. I have three conditions, though. ”

"You say. ”

The emir held out a finger, "First, only investigations can be carried out, and residents and business travelers must not be disturbed without reason. ”

"Yes. ”

"Second, my people are responsible for the specific investigation, and the royal guards brought by the general can follow and supervise separately, but they must not order my people. ”

Gu Liman immediately said: "No. Although there is only one target of our search this time, it cannot be ruled out that he has some accomplices. If we find traces of him and his accomplices, how can we arrest them if the soldiers of our guard are weak?"

The emir thought for a moment and decided to take a step back, "If the target is really found, we will definitely cooperate with you to capture it." ”

"That's pretty much it. ”

The emir stretched out a third finger, "After this search, no matter if I find a target or not, I will open the city ban and let business travelers enter and leave freely." ”

Gu Liman thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

In fact, Gu Liman played a trick. He thought, "When the search is over, I'll have the final say." If they can't find it once, they will arrange for someone to pretend to be a suspect, lead those who are searching to chase it, create the illusion that the target is still in the city, and then continue to search a second time. If you can't find it twice, you will search it a third or fourth time. When will the search be finished? ”

The Emir lord did not know what Gulman was up to. When he saw that Gu Liman had agreed to the three conditions, he gave an order and asked a thousand city defense troops to act immediately.

A portion of these city defense forces was first set up to control the main traffic intersections. Prevent targets from escaping.

Then, dividing the rest of the group into fifty teams, each with a royal guard of the Canaanite Commonwealth, holding a portrait of Kabal in his hand, began at the central intersection, alley by alley, and carried out a carpet search.

In the beginning, the discipline of the soldiers was very good, and they were kind to every resident. After all, they and the residents who were searched all lived in Dushant, and they didn't see each other when they looked down, and they all had relatives who could fight with eight poles, so there was no need to make a fuss.

Moreover, the residents also live here all year round, and they are well aware of the truth that "people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads", and they are very cooperative with the search.

However, as time passed, the patience of the soldiers became worse and worse, especially searching inns, hostels and other places, and when facing business trips from foreign countries, the bad emotions that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long time began to be slowly released.

If the person in charge of the business trip is more flexible, greets each other with a smile, speaks politely, and secretly stuffs some red envelopes into the small leader who leads the team, then he can still live in harmony.

If the caravans did not cooperate and ignored the orders of the soldiers, it would inevitably lead to a quarrel. At this time, if the owner of the inn has enough face, he also came forward to persuade in time, and by the way, with some money, he can also eliminate the conflict on the eve of the outbreak.

If the innkeeper is not there, or the face is not big enough, and the leader of the team does not buy it, it will inevitably lead to conflict.

In addition, in every city, there will be some traitors. Some of them were officially registered and never caught. Some people have done bad things, their hearts are weak, they are rumors, and they are all soldiers.

When these people saw the large-scale search of the whole city, before they could figure out the situation, they panicked and ran around. The searchers, believing that they were the target's accomplices, immediately pursued them, which led to a riot.

At first, clashes and riots were isolated phenomena. But as time went on, the conflict and riots intensified. By the afternoon, the whole of Dushant was full of shouting crowds. Moreover, there were violent physical altercations in some places.

The whole of Dushant began to slide into the quagmire of chaos.
