Chapter 73 Self-error
After a single shot, Senya did not attack again, but the caravan did not continue to move forward. This caravan was originally a bait set up to lure Qianye out, but he didn't expect Qianye to shoot from nearly a thousand meters away and kill the deputy commander Du Yufeng with one shot. The ambush has been broken, and there is no need to continue.
The caravan immediately turned around on the spot and hurried back to Tingchao City. The accompanying city guards and mercenaries did not send anyone to search and hunt for Qianye, and even the outlying outposts retreated, galloping all the way and escaping back to Tingchao City.
The commander of the city guard army knew very well that this shot must have consumed a huge amount, and Qianye may not be benevolent, but just pulling back. It's too late to escape, and once Qianye recovers, then no one will want to leave.
The convoy was far away, and Qianye Fang slowly opened his eyes and nodded secretly, feeling that the other party's command was very sophisticated, and he basically didn't give himself a chance. As for the sixteenth-level powerhouse, on the one hand, he is hiding, and on the other hand, he is showing off, and he is not restraining his breath at all while sitting in an armored car. Maybe others can't see it, but in Qianye's real vision, he does it like a torch in the dark night, bright and bright, and can be seen no matter how far away.
After practicing for a while, when the Force recovered, Qianye turned around and left, disappearing into the vast wilderness.
At this moment, there was a tense and solemn atmosphere in Tingchao City, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point. There were very few pedestrians on the street, and most of them were in a hurry, with a sad face.
The news of Du Yufeng's death in battle could not be concealed at all, and it spread throughout the city in a blink of an eye, which immediately dispelled all the thoughts of the lucky trading houses. They originally wanted to mobilize heavy troops to escort the caravan out of the city, but even Du Yufeng was killed with one shot, the strongest they could find was at this level, what was the use?
As the deputy commander of the city guards, Du Yufeng himself is a sixteenth-level powerhouse, and his secret martial arts skills are not weak. Listening to the high-ranking generals of Chao City, Luo Bingfeng will give them one or more exercises that are suitable for themselves, and their strength is generally stronger than the powerhouses of the same level outside. And Du Yufeng's cultivation method faintly restrained Zhu Meng, because he had always wanted to absorb Zhu Meng's troops.
Something so big happened, and all the high-ranking generals and main figures in Chao City gathered in the City Lord's Mansion to discuss countermeasures.
The City Lord's Mansion in Tingchao City is more of a place for discussions, and Luo Bingfeng has not lived here for many years.
In the conference hall, there were more than ten people sitting at the table, and more than twenty people sitting in the back, who were also qualified to hear secrets.
There were two chairs at the head of the long table, both of which were empty at the moment. One of them was naturally the seat of the city lord Luo Bingfeng, while the other belonged to the mysterious woman. Since she appeared, until now, no one knows her origins, not even her name.
In addition to the main seat, sitting at the top is a middle-aged man with a white face and beard, slightly rich, faintly threatening, with long and narrow eyes, eyes half-open and half-closed, as if he has not woken up. But once in a while, when I opened my eyes wider, there seemed to be a flash of lightning in the room.
This person is Du Yuan, the commander of the guards of Tingchao City. However, he, the great commander, basically doesn't care about military affairs on weekdays, and spends most of the year in retreat and cultivation, and only occasionally shows up every ten days and half a month. Therefore, the actual power of the city guards is basically in the hands of the three deputy commanders and Zhu Meng.
However, although Du Yuan rarely showed up and did not take power, he was recognized as the number one master of the city guards, and in the entire Listening Tide City, he was only under the city lord. At this moment, Du Yuan was here, and the unruly generals of the city guards were all sitting upright, putting away their slick attitudes.
Opposite Du Yuan, sat Ruixiang. The old man was expressionless, sitting upright and silent, occasionally sweeping his gaze, but faintly showing disdain.
There were obviously fewer people sitting on Ruixiang's side, only half of the people on the other side. The two sides looked at each other across the table, and their breaths were faintly clashing, obviously divided into two camps.
At this time, a capable man in the city guards looked like lightning, swept the whole field, and finally stopped at Zhu Meng, and said coldly: "That person can snipe Yufeng thousands of meters away, and he must have the best firearm in his hand." I heard that in the battle that day, he also used this trick to snipe General Ma. Zhu Meng: Such important information, why don't you tell it when you come back!"
This big man is fierce and murderous. He is also one of the three deputy commanders of the city guards, and his ranking is still above Du Yufeng. However, at this moment, it seems to be fierce, but in fact, there is another mystery, Zhu Meng is sitting on Du Yuan's side after all.
Zhu Meng remained silent and said: "I just saw it from afar that day, and I didn't experience it myself, so I really don't know what the power of that shot is." And I know Brother Ma's ability, he was not powerless to parry that day, but thought that someone would stop him, and he was careless, so he was killed by a stroke. ”
The sturdy man frowned, and said, "Someone is blocking it?" What the hell is going on, you have made it clear to me, if there is any concealment, military law will be involved!"
Zhu Meng said unhurriedly: "That person shot and sniped that day, and it was not Lao Ma who shot him, but Lord Rui Xiangrui." It's just that Lord Rui avoided it too quickly, and that shot hit the old horse. Therefore, if you want to say that the person who knows the power of that shot best, it should be Ruixiang Rui. ”
All the generals of the city guards had different expressions, and some of them were simple-minded and even showed contempt. According to Zhu Meng, this Ruixiang is clearly a cowardice, and he didn't even dare to take long-range sniping, and as a result, he killed his colleagues behind him.
A murderous intent flashed on the old man's face, and he stroked his beard and said slowly: "That shot happened suddenly, and the old man didn't notice it in advance, so he avoided it." As for the power, the old man has not personally touched it, so it is difficult to judge. ”
A city guard general had always been friendly with General Ma, and when he heard this, he said angrily: "This shot can kill the old horse from a distance of thousands of meters, how can it be difficult to judge? If you had said this earlier, Commander Du would not have been so careless and killed that person's gun!"
Rui Xiang sneered and said, "Killing a mere general, is it called powerful? From the old man's point of view, there is no need to publicize this kind of thing, let alone specifically say that you know about it." ”
The general's face was swollen red with rage, and his eyes were wide open. The old man said this as if he was in a position to ask for anything. In fact, the identity of a general of the city guard army is naturally far worse than Ruixiang. But when he said this to his face, it was unbearable.
The eyes of many generals fell on Du Yuan. Among the people present, only Du Yuan can suppress Ruixiang on his identity and combat power.
Du Yuan's eyes opened slightly, and the hall suddenly lit up. Ruixiang is also in his heart and no longer pushes.
Du Yuan didn't look at Ruixiang, but said to Zhu Meng: "Yufeng is my cousin, my uncle who didn't make a weapon died early, so he left such a little bit of blood and bones." I know that Yu Feng has always been not very good with you, but I have never favored him in military affairs, can you admit that?"
Zhu Meng bowed his head and said, "The Great Commander has always been fair, and this is what the brothers know. ”
Du Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, then let me ask you, why don't you report that person's combat power to your colleagues?"
Zhu Meng said: "This matter is complicated, I originally wanted to ask to see the city lord as soon as I came back and report in detail." It's just that the lord of the city is still in retreat and has not seen me. Chief Luo Yun wanted to ask to see the city lord, but he was also stopped back. So this matter was delayed for a while, but I didn't expect Commander Yufeng to leave the city at this time. ”
Du Yuan said slowly: "This matter is indeed Yu Feng's recklessness, and what you said is also reasonable." Then let me ask you again, what makes you feel that the inside story is complicated, and you have to repay the city lord? Can you talk about it here?"
Zhu Meng hesitated slightly and glanced at Ruixiang. Ruixiang, on the other hand, was expressionless, but there was a chill in his eyes.
Du Yuan saw it, and said in a deep voice: "The city lord has not discussed matters for a long time, everyone knows it, and Chief Luo Yun and I can't see the city lord when we are idle." But I'm still a little bit responsible, Zhu Meng, you don't have to scruple, just say it if you have something to say. ”
Zhu Meng stood up and said loudly: "Okay, with the words of the Great Commander, what else do I, Zhu Meng, have to say? This time, I led my troops into battle, and I was rushed into the barracks, and I killed 300 of my brothers in just one move! Later, this person was the one who sniped Lao Ma and Yu Feng thousands of miles away. If this person hadn't seen that we had been deliberately given up to death, my brothers and I would not have been able to return to Tingchao City. ”
As soon as this remark came out, many generals were shaken. The elite of Zhu Meng's department, they all know. Not to mention these generals, even if Du Yuan made a full effort, he couldn't kill the three hundred soldiers of this battalion in one move.
There are unwritten rules in neutral places, and strong people who have reached this level will generally not embarrass such ordinary warriors if they do not have to, let alone slaughter them on a large scale. For example, in the future, once Tingchao City changes hands, the city guards are still these people, wouldn't they be killing their future subordinates?
Zhu Meng continued: "This person wants me to bring a message to the city lord and the adults, if he doesn't release his brother, then it is no longer safe for anyone in Chao City to leave the city, and he will continue to kill until we release him." If his brother died, then all the high-ranking people in the city would be hunted down by him for the rest of their lives. ”
The generals shouted angrily: "Arrogance!" "I don't know how thick the sky is!" "I have to teach him a lesson!"
After scolding, the generals found that the shouting were all lower-level generals, Du Yuanruixiang, Zhu Meng, and the two deputy commanders were all silent and silent.
Only then did they realize that something was wrong, and the shouting and scolding gradually became quieter.
Du Yuan frowned and asked, "What else did he say?"
Zhu Meng's voice turned low and said, "He said don't think that the gods will be safe." ”
Du Yuan's eyes opened suddenly, and then slowly closed. is as calm as Ruixiang, and the long eyebrows also jumped.
After a while, Du Yuanfang said: "This person's name is Qianye, and I heard that he was famous in the empire in the past. But looking at his past behavior, he is quite generous, and I don't know why he hates me so much. ”
Zhu Meng sneered, glared at Rui Xiang, and said, "I don't know why I'm going to attack Nanqingcheng, and I don't know where to go if I catch them." This battle is really confused, can Lord Rui solve our doubts now?"
This sentence was asked by name, and Ruixiang could no longer avoid it. His eyes opened, his eyebrows were full of disdain, and he said coldly: "How does the old man act, it is your turn to make irresponsible remarks?"
This was said very politely, Zhu Meng's face turned from blue to black, and he almost wanted to attack on the spot. However, a soft force suddenly enveloped him, making him unable to move. At this time, Du Yuanfang said: "He can't ask, so let me ask, is it qualified?"
Rui Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly, swept over the generals of the city guards in front of him, sneered, and said, "Are you planning to suppress me?" But don't forget, even in this listening tide city, the real master is not Luo Bingfeng, but Zhang Tianwang! Don't follow the wrong person and mislead your future!"
