Chapter 7 Temptation
The turmoil passed overnight.
At dawn, Qianye, who had disappeared all night, returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and this time he brought back another head, Du Xiyuan, the head of the Du family. At this point, the family masters who dared to openly confront him in Tingchao City have all turned into corpses, and the strong people of the family have also suffered heavy casualties and suffered great losses in strength, even if Qianye stands by and listens to the reshuffle of Chaocheng's forces, it will be difficult for them to maintain their current ranking.
After returning, Qianye lived in seclusion in the City Lord's Mansion.
In the ancient totem battle castle, the wolf king stood on the terrace, looking at the distant city of listening to the tide. The morning wind was cool, with a heavy vapor, wetting his long hair. This is the weather that the wolf king hates the most, but today, he stood in the morning breeze for a whole morning.
A retinue of cronies who had been with him for many years came up and said, "My lord, the cause of the fire in the city last night has been ascertained. The new city lord Qianye uprooted all the strongholds left by the Great Qin Empire's military headquarters in Tingchao City overnight. In addition, he also raided the Du family's manor outside the city and killed the current head of the family, Du Xiyuan. ”
The wolf king pondered for a moment, and then heyed, and said, "These two slaps are loud enough!"
The entourage pondered his mind and did not dare to speak casually.
The wolf king didn't need his entourage to speak, he paced back and forth on his own, then stood still, and commanded: "Prepare floating warships, gather the most warlike warriors, and I will go on an expedition to the pirate base!"
"Expedition...... Pirates?" the attendant was a little confused.
Between the Neutrals and the continents, there are quite a few Void pirates roaming the floating enclaves, but most of them are small and scattered, often the size of one or two high-speed boats, and most of them are scattered merchant ships. This kind of pirate, who needs the wolf king to take action personally, but also to bring the elite of the entire battle fortress?
Having said that, the reason why many Void Pirates were able to exist was also with the tacit approval of the major forces. Some of the dirty work will be handed over to them to do. The deeper reason is that pirates are also buffer zones.
At this time, the wolf king wants to fight pirates with great fanfare? Obviously, listening to the thousand nights in the tide city around him should be a more important target.
This is a major decision, and the entourage thought about it again and again, and asked stubbornly, "Great Chief, should it be better to take Qianye first?"
The wolf king smiled, "If you take it, why should you take it? How to take it?"
The entourage pondered for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "You mean, let the people of the Heavenly King's Mansion have a headache by themselves?"
The wolf king smiled and said, "Now that Qianye is alone, he can attack and retreat and run, but it is very difficult to deal with." Looking at his recent might, if you want to take him down, you must have God's general. The only remaining old guy in the Heavenly King's Mansion heard that he had been seriously injured by a single shot, and that gutless old thing must have been frightened, no matter how many men and weapons he had, he would definitely pretend to be dead to the end, and would never strike again. If I don't leave, won't this have to fall on my head? After all, Zhang Buzhou is still the master in name, and everyone will be embarrassed if he asks him to send this order down. ”
The entourage was a little puzzled and asked, "Are you still afraid of a thousand nights?"
The wolf king laughed and said, "I'm not afraid, but it doesn't mean that I'm willing to fight him! ”
The entourage's face suddenly became very strange, and his voice was much lowered, and he muttered, "This is not your character, Great Chief. ”
The wolf king patted his entourage on the shoulder and said, "Yes, it's quite smart." If this seat makes a move, he can still beat Qianya around, but it is not a dream to kill him. What's the point of doing this? It's just a solution to a thorny problem for Zhang Buzhou. Now Qianye stays in Tingchao City for one more day, which is to peel an extra layer of poor dough. We just need to watch and see how long Zhang Buzhou can endure it, this king is wondering whether this Zhang Tianwang's retreat is a success or failure!"
"If Zhang Buzhou really goes out, I'm afraid he will be dissatisfied with you, right?"
"If he gets out, the first thing he should do is deal with Qianya, not come to trouble me. Hey, whether you can pass that level of a thousand nights or not, it's still two words. ”
The attendant was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Why do you say that?"
The Wolf King said meaningfully: "You don't know Luo Bingfeng's true strength, but this seat and Zhang Buzhou know it very well. Zhang Buzhou is not a king, and I am afraid that he is not Luo Bingfeng's opponent. In the battle to besiege Luo Bingfeng, the most critical figure was an old man, who not only blocked Luo Bingfeng's strongest blow head-on, but also counterattacked and injured him. This old guy can't say it's still in the East China Sea!"
This really shocked the entourage, and he lost his voice: "This is unlikely, right?"
The wolf king said slowly: "Don't forget, there is also a Song Zining in Nanqing City. This kid can be regarded as a powerful man in Daqin, and he doesn't know how much he has behind him when he does things some time ago. With him, you have to be careful in everything. If there was no backhand, how could Qianye be so flamboyant? Originally, when he took over as the city lord of Tingchao, he was already so suppressed that he couldn't bow his head, and now he has to make up for a few slaps in the face, so why bother? There is something abnormal, and it has to make people suspicious!"
The entourage had a flash of inspiration, clapped his hands and said, "I understand! Great Chief, you really have to leave immediately, otherwise that old thing will definitely use you as cannon fodder to test what Song Zining and Song Zining have in the Thousand Nights!"
The wolf king laughed and said, "You finally figured it out!"
"Without further ado, I'll arrange it. ”
The retinue flew away, and an hour later, several floating warships took off from the ancient totem battle fortress and slowly flew into the distance.
On the skyline, another high-speed floatship appeared, heading at full speed towards the ancient totem battle fortress. On the deck stood an old man, staring intently into the distance.
He suddenly snorted and said, "What's that, bring the binoculars!"
His subordinates immediately handed over a high-powered telescope, and several other fierce generals also took out their binoculars and looked ahead.
In the field of vision of the telescope, above the ancient totem battle fort, seven or eight floating boats were slowly forming and turning.
A general was stunned and said, "What are you doing here? Cargo ships and warships are grouped together? And this formation, is it going to fight, is it going to die?"
Before he could finish speaking, another float slowly lifted into the air. At this time, the air fleet had completed its formation and was moving away at a speed like a turtle. The float that lagged behind struggled to catch up, staggering to follow.
This is even more shocking to the generals. In the end, this floating boat was huge and bloated, and its speed was slow, and it was obviously a cargo carrier, or the kind that pays attention to cost performance in civilian use, how could it be assigned to the fleet? However, despite the distance, the generals still saw that there were soldiers lined up on the deck, which obviously did not look like a simple cargo ship.
Everyone was very puzzled by this, but the old man frowned, and suddenly said: "Go at full speed, quickly reach the ancient totem battle castle!"
The ship's speed increased again, and it dropped like a meteor above the Ancient Totem Battle Fortress, signaling it to land. The attitude of the battle fortress is very good, and after taking the identity verification, it will send a code that gives priority to queuing.
However, the good service of the float boat landing field ends here. After a few minutes, before receiving the landing guidance, several generals felt a little strange, and looked down, only to see that the field was in chaos, full of random stacks of goods, different sizes, different varieties, and from time to time strangely shaped packaging was printed into the field of vision. The slaves hurried back and forth like ants, and the scene was very busy, but the area was not sorted out.
For half an hour, the chaos below the castle did not change in the slightest. The old man finally couldn't hold his breath, jumped off the floating boat, and landed straight on the small square in front of the main building of the battle fort, and shouted: "The old man is the messenger of the Heavenly King's Mansion, come quickly, take the old man to see the wolf king!"
There were a lot of people running back and forth around, and some people nearby stood up when they heard the sound, most of them looked at the old man with blank eyes, and no one came up to talk for a long time. The old man said it three times in a row, and he couldn't help but turn blue with anger. But these people are all dressed as hard labor, and they don't even look like a small leader, and the old man really can't afford to lose that face when he cares about them.
Besides, the wolf king is not easy to mess with, even Zhang Buzhou himself is polite to him, and if he gives the old man ten more dares, he will not dare to break into the wolf king's battle castle. With nothing to do, he had no choice but to take matters into his own hands, striding out of the messy loading and unloading area, finding a guard at a fixed post on the edge and telling him to go in and pass the word.
The guard was obviously a bit strong, but not very good at his brain, and his face still had a steel mane and black hair, like a cub who had not yet reached adulthood. He spoke upside down, saying that he would not enter the fort at all.
After tugging on both sides for a while, a werewolf dressed in a waiter's uniform ran out of the main building of the battle fort, trotted all the way to the old man, and said with a smile: "The envoy came, but he didn't have time to greet him, the little one is really damned! You can also see that the castle is in a mess now, and the wolf king has just led an expedition, and those clumsy stupid things have not yet sorted out their things." ”
The old man shook his heart, grabbed the attendant, and said hurriedly: "What did you say? The wolf king is not in the castle, where has he gone?"
The attendant smiled and said unhurriedly: "The lord only said that he was going on an expedition and took the army out." Who exactly to fight, it's not something that the small ones should know. But for this matter, it seems that the adults have been planning for more than half a month. It's just that it is not easy to assemble the troops and make logistical arrangements, and they have not been ready until today. ”
The old man's face was cloudy, and he asked again, "You mean, the wolf king just left?"
"Your Excellency's fleet has been on departing for a while. Didn't you meet them when you came? Ah, your float hasn't landed yet! These stupid things are so bad on their hands and feet, I'm going to have to whip them up. ”
The squire's face immediately changed, and he shouted and roared towards the field, and after a few moments, a place was finally cleared from the take-off and landing field, and the high-speed float boat was able to land.
The old man's face was gloomy, and it wasn't until several generals came to his side that he looked up and asked the attendant, "Who is in charge of the fort now?"
The attendant hurriedly said: "When the adults leave, order the villain to temporarily take care of the chores in the castle." ”
The old man looked the attendant up and down for a while, and said, "Since this is the case, then please gather the soldiers in the fort, the old man has been ordered by the king of heaven to mobilize a force, which is of other use." ”
The waiter's expression was extremely surprised, his mouth opened for a while, and he said, "This...... The stakes are very high, the villain is bold, can you take a look at the warrant of the king?"
The old man didn't say much, and directly took out the warrant and handed it over.
The attendant looked at it seriously for a full quarter of an hour, and activated the Force signature below, watching a blue and white light flash, before he smiled and handed the warrant back, saying, "It is indeed the warrant of the Heavenly King." You wait, the villain will go and gather troops for you to choose. ”
The entourage did not hesitate this time, as if flying away, and in the blink of an eye, the bells in the battle fort rang for a long time, and groups of soldiers converged on the parade school ground from all directions.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, several generals already had a general understanding of the current situation. One of them couldn't help but say, "My lord, if we just caught up, it's still too late." Why did you let this kid procrastinate?"
The other patted his chest and said, "Even now, if I drive the boat, I can catch up!"
The old man smiled and said, "Even if you catch it, what can you do?"
A general's eyes widened, and he said, "Of course, let the wolf king come back and listen to the order! If he dares to disobey the order of the Heavenly King, he will not be able to oppose him!"
Several other generals said yes, and even more humanely: "It's just a dog raised by the king of heaven, what tricks do you dare to play?"
The old man shook his head and said lightly: "The king of heaven is the king of heaven, and we are us." The wolf king obeys the king of heaven, not us. You wait It is better to remember that you do not represent the king. If the wolf king is just a dog in front of the Heavenly Throne, then we are not even as good as a dog! Hmph, what are you chasing after you, what are you going to do, and you are going to die?"
"He, does he really dare to ......" Several generals were dumbfounded.
The old man snorted and said, "In the wilderness, he just did it, who can prove that he did it?" ”
At this moment, the team has been assembled, and the old man looked at it at a glance, and his face suddenly turned pale.
