Chapter 22: The Living Are Smarter Than the Dead

At the same time as the explosion occurred, two figures flew in, and almost at the same time as the explosion, they had already arrived. If you have a high-speed camera, you can see that they arrived only a few tenths of a second later than the explosion.

It's just a few tenths of a second, and it's still too late. They blocked most of the shrapnel and shock waves, and the rest were shared by the bodyguards, and the few that were left flocked to the two sisters and Du Qian.

The old man waved his hand, and it was green, giving people an indescribable sense of beauty. The green light flashed, and the smoke and dust fragments were swept away.

The scene was a mess, Steward Li, who was carrying a paper bag, was naturally crushed to pieces, and the few bodyguards closest to him were covered in blood, and a few were lying on the ground, their bodies were still convulsed, their clothes were torn, and their flesh and blood were blurred.

The bodyguards who were a little farther away were obviously much better, most of them were gray-headed, and there were many scratches on their hands and faces. The warrior monk's reaction was indeed very fast, but before the explosion, they were not prepared at all, leaving them almost no time to react.

Another middle-aged man, one in one hand, helped the two sisters up, looked up and down a few times, and finally put his mind at ease.

The distance is a little far, the body is lying on the ground again, the area of the attack is relatively small, there are preparations in advance, except for some torn clothes, a few pieces of black ash on the face, but nothing is wrong.

"It's a kinetic burst bomb, fortunately it's medium-sized, and the shell of sea rubber material is used, and the lethality is not too great. The old man swept away the smoke and dust, and it only took more than ten seconds to determine the type of bomb.

"It's not good...... the middle-aged man's face changed after checking the two sisters. Before he could make a move, there was a flash of light in the distance, which brightened the blinding eyes, followed by a loud bang, and the earth trembled.

A thick cloud of black smoke soared into the sky, and a few seconds later, under the action of a strong sea breeze, it drifted in all directions. It was still far away, at least ten kilometers away, and everyone quickly smelled a strong breath of energy.

'Whoosh ......' figure flashed, the blue light reflected the sky, and the old man and the middle-aged man moved the fastest, turning into two green lights, and in the blink of an eye, they were already several miles away. Then there are the other bodyguards, all of whom have turned into green men, where is this running, they are simply flying lower.

The two sisters were not slow, and even ran in front of most of the bodyguards.

Du Qian's head was worse than a pig's head, and a piece of his face was swollen on one side, and when the two pieces were combined, he couldn't tell where it was, and his eyes were gone. The darkness and the stars were far away, but nothing could be seen but a faint light.

Then I felt that the collar tightened, and the whole person flew up like a cloud, the wind whistled in my ears, and the swollen translucent skin was blown by the cold sea breeze, as if it had been cut by a knife. He wanted to scream, but when he opened his mouth, the full sea breeze poured into his stomach, making him feel that his belly was bigger than that of a pregnant woman who was ten months pregnant.

"Boy, where is the smoke?" An old voice came from his ears, it was strange, in such a loud wind howl, this voice was so clear.

"I can't see it. Du Qian squeezed out a sentence, and his mouth was out of shape.

"You can't see such a big amount of smoke? Oh, it's your fault. ”

The next moment, the wind stopped, the feet stopped, and a noisy human voice came from the ears.

"Six, six, what's the situation?"

"Report casualties. ”

"Your Excellency is safe, the five teams have been scattered. ”

"The city guard arrived in ten minutes. ”

"The field troops entered the field half an hour later, and the low-flying units arrived two minutes later. ”

"The bulletproof car has entered the scene, and the first, second, and third groups, with the escort, will take you out of the scene. ”

"The target is dead, seven in all. ”

"Two of the city lord's guards were killed and six wounded. ”

The voice is very chaotic, and I don't know if it's because my eyes can't see it, at this moment, Du Qian feels that his hearing is several times stronger than usual, and such a chaotic voice can be clearly distinguished.

It turns out that the city lord still has an escort team, and there seems to be no such title in the police station, city defense army, or field army. Isn't this nonsense, how could the city lord not have an escort, at this moment Du Qian felt that his mind was messed up again.

"Lao Luo, what is the origin of this kid?"

"How's the situation here, the patrolman at the docks over there?" the old voice asked rhetorically.

"Not bad, a bit messy, nothing too big. There were more than 30 dead soldiers, and there were no living mouths. What's the situation with you carrying a little patrolman, is it alive?"

"No, this little patrolman...... It's brave, yes, it's brave, it's smart. ”

"Brave, clever, what are you carrying him for?" I feel that this doesn't sound right, and the cause and effect relationship is rather messy.

"This kid should be reliable, I'm not familiar here, I originally wanted to bring it over to lead the way, but it didn't work. ”

"Hehe, the handwriting of the two young ladies?"

"Accidents, really just accidents. The old man was embarrassed to say that when Du Qian knocked down the second lady, not only did the two young ladies hit someone, but even he almost did it, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and saw the problem. Otherwise, as long as he stretched out a little finger, this little patrolman would have already become a pulp.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go back to the City Lord's Mansion first, Miss is fine. ”

"Well, it's going to be fine, Xiao Bian went with the Iron Guard. ”

"It's better to be careful, it's not peaceful these days, see you later. ”

Looking at Du Qian in his hand, Lao Luo felt that it was a little difficult to do, it didn't seem good to throw it here, and it was not appropriate to carry it. The car behind him drove over, and he casually threw Du Qian in the back seat and said to the driver, "City Lord's Mansion." ”

At this time, Du Qian's head was still dizzy, although his eyes couldn't see it for a while, his ears were so good, the amount of information was too large, and he couldn't digest it at all in a short time.

Fortunately, he knows that he is safe now, and he doesn't know who these people are, and his combat power is so strong that he is confused.

Half an hour later, in the large conference hall of the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man sat on the main seat, his face was calm.

On his left hand, there was a row of well-dressed gentlemen, the first one, it was Zhu Zhenqing, the city lord of Pingchuan City, the city lord did not sit on his own throne, but willingly gave it to others, which shows that the middle-aged man on the throne has a much higher status than him, the city lord.

Under Zhu Zhenqing, there are the three deputy city lords of Pingchuan City: Zhang Yu, Kuai Peng, and Mingren.

Opposite them, there stood a man like a black iron tower, this person was none other than Guo Qingtian, the leader of the Iron Guard beside Your Excellency, a forty-five-year-old war master, with a combat power of up to 5.55 million, not very old, already standing at a height unimaginable to mortals.

As for the Lord sitting on the throne of the city, it was none other than the Imperial heavyweight Sikong Yi. In fact, you don't have to think about it to know that in the Zhoushan Empire, being able to be called Your Excellency is already a recognition in itself, and not everyone can have the qualifications to be called Your Excellency.

The Zhoushan Empire, headed by His Majesty the Emperor, consisted of three dukes and nine ministers. The emperor is in charge of the army, and the parliament is in charge of the people's livelihood. Imperial power and political power check each other. This ensured that the emperor would not be corrupted by power, and it would be a disaster for the country in any era and in any form of government, if someone who spoke his word appeared.

The empire adopted a standard imperial system, with the separation of military and government. With the army in hand, the majesty and continuity of the imperial power can be guaranteed, and the government manages the people's livelihood and restricts the army and the imperial power. Ensure that the emperor cannot make the legendary Chrysostom, and let whoever dies have to die.

The Three Dukes, who were the direct subordinates of His Majesty the Emperor and the spokesmen of the imperial army, were the three Grand Dukes, who commanded an unequal number of corps. The twelve standing corps of the empire are in their hands.

Generally speaking, the candidates of the Three Princes not only require high morality and strong military talent, but also must be very close to the royal family, even if you have nothing to do with the royal family, if you want to sit in the position of the Three Princes, you must have a little relationship.

For example, marriage.

Jiuqing is the spokesperson of the imperial elite class, and Jiuqing, also known as the Speaker of the Nine Parliaments, controls the nine most important parts of the empire. Every word and deed affects the lives of hundreds of millions of citizens.

With the progress of society, whether it is Sangong or Jiuqing, there is an important indicator, that is, combat power. With enough combat power, even if you are not smart enough, you may become the Three Princes and Nine Emperors. On the contrary, no matter how smart you are, it is useless.

This may not sound reasonable, but as the saying goes, existence is reasonable, and there are reasons for such a inheritance.

The history of human development is a history of war of blood and tears, and war must be used to the extreme. The methods of assassinating the high-ranking officials of the hostile countries are somewhat subordinate, but the results are excellent.

High weight and strong combat power have become a necessary condition. If you are not strong enough, it is easy to be secretly calculated, no matter how smart you are. The philosopher who mends the heavens said thousands of years ago that the living are wiser than the dead.

According to this principle, the high-ranking officials of the three major countries, without exception, are the strongest of the strong, although they may not be the top martial monks, at least they can stand in the second echelon.

This has led to a rather ridiculous result, the guards of the big guys, in terms of combat power, are far inferior to the people who are protected. It's really embarrassing and frustrating.

A few minutes later, the pair of sisters walked in, and by this time, they had already changed their clothes, and seemed to have taken a shower, and their bodies exuded the fragrance of the freshly bathed flowers.

"Father, city lords, Uncle Guo is well. The sisters finished their salutes meticulously and sat behind Guo Qingtian, sitting elegantly and with a serene demeanor, and at a glance they knew that they had received special training since childhood.

Who would have thought that the bones of such a pair of sisters are full of violent factors. It's a pity that due to the restrictions of the living environment, I can't find a chance to hit someone if I want to. In the past two days, it has been too much.

"Who's going to tell me, I'll listen. Sikong Yi, who was sitting on the main seat, spoke.

"Your Excellency, I think the Flying Tigers know more about this matter than I do. Zhu Zhenqing thought about it and said, originally replied to Lord Sikong, the captain of the Flying Tiger Team of a second-level city lord's mansion, his qualifications were still a little worse, but Zhu Zhenqing didn't know enough about this matter in detail, so he didn't dare to speak casually.

"Okay, declare him up. Sikong Yi nodded and said.

After a while, a bunch of people came up, led by Fei Xue, the captain of the Pingchuan City Flying Tigers.
