Chapter 213: The Great Army Pressed the Realm
At this moment, the middle-aged man had already finished reading the secret letter, stroked his short beard, and said lightly: "There is news from those people on the other side, the witch will only stay here for one day, and she will not stay for a moment." There is a witch in the pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info no matter how many backhands they arrange, it doesn't work. This matter is decided, just wait for the witch to arrive in the evening, and we will do it immediately. Sun Yue opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak. Seeing that they have a thousand reasons, these people will never listen to more. He came from a humble background, but he was even more arrogant, and he snorted heavily, without looking back, and strode out of the tent.
The faces of a few people in the tent naturally couldn't see where to go, and one of them sneered and said, "A dog's leg, you really think of yourself as a thing?"
The voice of this sentence was not small, enough for Sun Yue to hear it clearly, and the green aura on his face suddenly became a little heavier.
Sunset City, the Lord's Mansion.
Li Jiasifan sat in the study, silently contemplating. Bursts of noise kept coming from the window, breaking the silence of the room.
The city was full of people at the moment, almost chaotic. The army of the Dark Realm is less than a hundred kilometers away, and one day it will reach the other side, and the number of them will be as high as 50,000, although most of them are cannon fodder, but this scale is not something that a single division can stop. Even in the history of Sunset City, there has never been a battle of this level.
After the adventurers and mercenaries in the city got the news, many of them immediately wanted to flee from the city. Once Sunset City is breached, staying in the city is a dead end. However, Li Jiasifan had already given the order one step ahead and directly closed the four doors, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.
The Great War is imminent, and of course the spies of the Death Conference cannot be given a chance to pass freely. Li Jiasifan's response was not unpleasant, but the people in the city were still panicked, rumors were spreading, and in order to strengthen the city defense, the soldiers in the city were mobilized everywhere, and the whole city was restless for a while.
In addition, there are some rumors, it is said that the Dark Realm has gathered such a military force just for Li Jia Sifan, as long as he is handed over, the Death Council will withdraw its troops.
Together, this rumor quickly spread throughout the city. In normal times, Li Jiasifan's identity is enough to make people think about it. But now that the zombie army is pressing, it is an imminent crisis. If Li Jiasifan is handed over, even if he will face the tragic revenge of the Li family in the west, it will be after today. But if you don't hand over people, the whole city will be slaughtered immediately when the city is broken. That's the difference between dying early or dying late.
Rumors spread like a little prairie fire, and no one has ever delved into whether their contents are true or not, and people's hearts have become more and more uneasy. Friction began to arise between the adventurers, mercenaries and Sunset City warriors in the city, and after more than a dozen large and small conflicts broke out one after another, they gradually evolved from disputes to hands-on.
In the study, Li Jiasifan still sat quietly. Separated by a wall, he could vaguely hear the chaos and noise in the city, but he seemed to be completely unconscious, his straight body did not move at all, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his thoughts wandered somewhere. It took him a long time to get up slowly, walk to the side of the long several, and pour a cup of tea.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Ji Guosheng walked in and said in a deep voice: "Fan Shao, I have found more than a dozen people who spread that rumor, and sure enough, many of them are inextricably related to the Tang family. However, there are still a few people who can't be sure if it's the source of the rumors for the time being, and I've already sent someone to keep an eye on them, how do you think about it?" The strategic node he is responsible for is closest to Sunset City, and he was only urgently recalled the evening before yesterday, so he doesn't want to encounter this situation as soon as he enters the city.
Li Jiasifan held the cup of the Azure Kiln in his hand and warmed it, and after the aroma was completely overflowing, he slowly drank a cup of tea, and said lightly: "Since you have found out, let's kill them all." ”
Ji Guosheng was taken aback, "Fan Shao, isn't this appropriate? Some people in it can't conclude that they are the masterminds......
Li Jiasifan said indifferently: "In extraordinary times, doing extraordinary things, it doesn't matter whether you are the mastermind or not. Now the hearts of the people in the city are fluctuating, not to mention counting on their combat strength, do they have to be distracted and vigilant when fighting? Moreover, if the city is really broken, it will be a hundred thousand people to be buried with them. You still don't understand such a simple truth?"
Before Ji Guosheng came to Sunset City, he had been in the Imperial Military Department for many years, and he knew the true nature of this eldest young master of the Li family in the Western Realm very well, and knew that the more anger in his heart, the calmer he was on the surface. Just looking at Li Jiasifan's eyebrows now, as calm as water, he knew that he was extremely angry. At that moment, Ji Guosheng smiled bitterly and bowed, and exited the door to run errands.
A moment later, in a downtown area of Sunset City, a thin man was suddenly grabbed out of the crowd by several wolf-like Sunset City warriors and forcibly pressed to his knees.
The man was not so alarmed, but shouted, "Why are you arresting me?
An officer sneered: "Misleading the public with false words is the way to death." Let's go on the road with peace of mind!"
Seeing that the officer took out his pistol, the man finally realized that something was wrong, and struggled desperately, shouting: "Do you know who Lao Tzu is? I am the confidant of Young Master Tang Hao, if you dare to touch me as a mere pariah, I will let your whole family die!"
The officer sneered, pulled the trigger, and the large-caliber bullet instantly shattered half of the man's head.
In the crowd of onlookers, several people immediately quietly retreated. Such a scene happened in more than a dozen places throughout the city at the same time. Everyone in the city was in danger for a while, and most of the whispering momentum of the idlers in the streets and alleys was suddenly extinguished.
Li Jiasifan stood on a lookout, watched the execution scene from a distance, and instructed Ji Guosheng, who was standing behind him: "Set up a banquet tonight and call all the leading people in the city over." As long as the powerful people post all the posts, the identity is not important. ”
Ji Guosheng is quite good at arranging this kind of thing, and it doesn't leak. At nightfall, dozens of people had gathered in the hall of the city lord and sat at several seats. These people can be described as a combination of three sects and nine streams, including agents of the great family and various captains of warbands who participated in bloody battles, as well as leaders of mercenary groups, and even the leaders of the two underground forces of Sunset City.
These two people are the leaders to put it nicely, but in fact, they are the bosses of the gangsters, and they are usually not qualified to step into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion at all. However, although their status is humble, they are like the shadow of the city, and they have a lot of secret channels and news, so Ji Guosheng also brought them over half-invited and half-forced.
The identities and status of dozens of people at the banquet are vastly different, and it is almost impossible to get together in normal times, but now they are gathered together, and they are naturally a little embarrassed by each other.
When everyone arrived, Li Jiasifan was dressed in gorgeous clothes, shaking the folding fan leisurely, and slowly walked into the seat.
Li Jiasifan picked up the wine, raised his glass to everyone, and said with a smile: "It's rare for you to appreciate your face, so I will do it first as a respect!"
After saying that, he drank it all, and everyone also raised their glasses, and then toasted two glasses in a row, and three glasses of wine, and the atmosphere in the banquet was suddenly much more relaxed and warm.
However, some people have a slight disdain in their eyes, they are mostly from the family, looking at this Li Jiasifan is clearly a slippery gentleman, he has been rumored to be all kinds of wise and martial arts before, obviously just a boast from people.
After three rounds of wine, two rounds of dishes were served. Li Jiasifan saw that the heat was almost over, so he got up, saluted everyone, and said with a smile: "Ben Shao is from the Li family in the Western Realm, everyone knows it." This high-door valve is nothing more than two points. First, there are many people, and second, it is a good face and a grudge. It's not easy to come to Sunset City for a short time, and I'm always embarrassed to be beaten away directly, right? ”
After a pause, Li Jiasifan smiled even more, and said word by word: "If Sunset City is lost, the day the city is broken will be your death." At that time, no matter which money you take, you won't have the life to spend it. ”
There was a moment in the hall where the embroidery needles could be heard on the ground, and then there was an uproar. No one expected Li Jiasifan to say such a thing, such a straightforward threat, which is equivalent to completely tearing the skin and leaving no room at all.
Everyone was shocked and angry, and someone shouted out at the moment: "Li Jia Sifan, how can you people from the Li family in the western realm be so domineering?"
Li Jiasifan still smiled, "My Li family in the west is domineering, what is this gentleman's opinion? In fact, it can be a little more domineering, do you want to see it?"
The man's face turned pale, and cold sweat came down from his forehead. Except for killing on the spot, what could be more domineering?
Li Jiasifan looked around, and beyond his gaze, everyone bowed their heads. Even if a few of these people are from the world, compared with Li Jiasifan, their identities are also heaven and earth, whether they are really convinced or fake to bow their heads, as long as they have a little brain, they will not be the first to come out at this time.
But there are many people, and there is always something different. In the oppressive silence, a person whispered: "The Li family in the Western Realm is acting so domineering and domineering, aren't they afraid that their reputation will be damaged?"
Li Jiasifan folded the fan and closed his mouth, chuckled, and said to the man: "You have collected a lot of money from the Tang family, and you are ready to sell me and Sunset City together, but now you are worried about the reputation of the Li family in the Western Realm?
The man's face changed suddenly, and he reluctantly said, "Fan Shao laughed......
Before he could finish his sentence, a short knife suddenly appeared in the hand of a maid serving wine next to him, and then the cold light flashed, and a person's head flew high! This knife slashed extremely fast, and the man's body still sat upright, and blood spurted out of his neck like a fountain, splashing the faces of the people at the same table.
A drop of blood flew extraordinarily far and landed on Li Jiasifan's cheek, and his originally gentle smile was as dazzling as the flames of hell in an instant.
This banquet did not end until late at night. When the people left, they learned that the army of the Dark Realm had arrived outside the city and was laying out the siege.
At this point, the hearts of the people in the city were at peace. There was still hope of escape when the army of the Dark Realm did not arrive, and now it would be a dead end to go out of the city. All the zombies are not weak in speed, and if you want to compete with them in the wilderness and run away, you are purely looking for death. The advantage of the Terrans has always been to hold on to the city with the help of mechanical power.
