Chapter 218: Sunset City Crisis

"It's really a war zone. It's also just settled. ”

After a while, Ah Le saw that he couldn't ask anything more, so he let Wu Bo go. As Ah Le expected, Wu Bo did not return to the base of the Shangguan family, but chose another direction to leave, obviously absconding in fear of crime. With his strength, although there is no hope of improvement, it is not difficult to return to the imperial capital to find a force to take refuge in, and mix in a comfortable position.

Now the situation is becoming more and more complicated, and the Shangguan family set up a war zone in this place at this time, and also transferred Shangguan Yu over, and I don't know if it was an order from the imperial military department or the Shangguan family's own actions. In any case, Zhang San's caravan was not worth their enthusiasm.

Originally, it involved the death meeting and the royal family, and the water was already muddy enough, but now there is another Shangguan family. Ah Le didn't know what they were planning, and he didn't want to participate. It's just that he has just been chased and killed by Shangguan Yan Qianli, and he is not a person who is not angry, these two Shangguan family's teams should collect some interest first.

Counting the days, he has been out on a safari for quite a long time this time, and he doesn't know what the situation is on the other side of Sunset City. Ah Le discerned the direction, stayed away from the Shangguan war zone, and rushed to the outside of the war zone.

In less than half a day, Shangguan Yu appeared on the scene. At this moment, except for the occasional lightning in his eyes, the aura around his body was all restrained, almost nothing, and his temperament was no longer as sharp as a sword in the past, but turned into a condensed and deep one.

Shangguan Yu was a tall and deeply cultivated, and he stood by the woods so calmly, and many of the soldiers of the Shangguan family around him were full of admiration.

Shangguan Yu inspected the corpses one by one, and even the most ordinary warriors did not miss it. By the time dozens of corpses were inspected, more than an hour had passed. In the end, Shangguan Yu stood in front of the captain who was completely embedded in the big tree, and was silent for a long time.

The captain was long dead, and his eyes were still wide open. After Ah Le left, as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't support it anymore.

Shangguan Yu pondered for a while, and slowly looked up at the depths of the captain's pupils, and electric light gradually bloomed in his eyes. So in the depths of those pupils, which were already deadly, he saw a figure.

The shadow is a little blurry, but it can be vaguely seen that it is an Anthroponian, at least the basic characteristics do not have the breath of dark zombies. The man was quite young, and although he used a tactical mask to block most of his face, his silhouette and posture still could not hide his handsome nature.

Shangguan Yu looked at it for a while, and shook his head secretly, the person who started was extremely cautious, always wearing a mask. The image is blurry and doesn't help much.

After pondering for a moment, Shangguan Yu asked, "Hasn't Wu Bo come back yet?"

"Captain Wu is missing, and there are no items or information left behind by him at the scene. ”

Shangguan Yu said coldly: "He must have told all the secrets of my Shangguan family, so he absconded for fear of crime and didn't dare to come back." Someone came, passed the order down, and issued a wanted warrant for Wu Bo's Shangguan family. ”

"Yes!" the deputy replied, and then asked, "General, have you found the murderer?"

Shangguan Yu looked at the captain's corpse embedded in the tree, and said lightly: "What's the use of finding out? Even if you catch up with that person, you will only die." Unless my eldest brother comes, I'll have to wait a while. ”

The deputy was taken aback, he didn't expect Shangguan Yu to speak so highly of this person. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why don't you ask Miss Shangguan Yan to take a look?"

Shangguan Yu suddenly sneered and said, "She, if she makes less enemies for my Shangguan family, thank God." ”

The deputy immediately lowered his head, not daring to say anything more, and seeing that Shangguan Yu had no other instructions, he went to instruct the soldiers to clean up the scene and sort out the remains. And Shangguan Yu was still standing in front of the captain's corpse, not moving for a long time.

Ah Le had left the border at this moment and entered the Terran territory, and his destination was the city with the landing base of the floating boat. The boundary of the land we are stepping on now belongs to Tianshui County, and the nearest transportation hub, Dacheng, is the county seat. He accidentally bought a second-hand cart from a passing caravan in a human settlement, so he rushed to the human county.

At this time, Ah Le knew the specific time, and it turned out that he had slept for five days. However, according to the results of the survey in the valley, he just didn't sleep, and he couldn't catch up with the cargo team to rescue Zhang San. Besides, the appearance of the cargo team is very much like a trap, if you make a rash move, it may break Zhang San's arrangement.

Soon the walls of the county town came into view, and the city was relatively close to the war zone, so the city defenses were also strengthened, but the atmosphere in the city was relatively calm. Ah Le didn't go directly to the float boat base, but planned to inquire about the latest news in the city first, and then replenish some supplies.

The affairs of Zhang San's caravan are full of weirdness, and after seeing the identities of those involved one after another, even if this is a bureau, Ah Le can't help but worry about Zhang San's situation, but now he doesn't know where the others are. The county town is the closest big city to the place where the incident occurred, and if there is any major event nearby, you should be able to hear some rumors here.

Ah Le hurriedly passed a side street, and a small inn on the corner suddenly fell into view.

This immediately evoked countless memories of Ah Le. If you want to find out more, this is undoubtedly one of the best places.

Ah Le pushed open the door of the hotel and walked in. The front of the hotel is not large, but the lobby of the lounge is quite wide. A dozen rangers sat around several tables, drinking and chatting. Several of them were bandaged, their injuries were still unhealed, and they had apparently just returned from the wilderness.

The topics that the rangers are talking about are naturally inseparable from the hottest bloody battles at the moment, either boasting about their achievements or discussing the military exploits they have just redeemed. The rewards for military merit are indeed very generous, and they are open to everyone, and it seems that these hunters have gained a lot of money.

Unlike mercenaries and adventurers, rangers mostly hunt dark zombies, and their general combat power is a level stronger.

As soon as he walked into the hotel, everyone's eyes fell on Ah Le. Seeing that it was a young man with an excessively beautiful face coming in, several people whistled at that moment.

Ah Le turned a deaf ear, walked straight to the counter, took out a pair of fangs, put them on the counter, and said lightly: "I want to change some supplies and the latest news." ”

As soon as the fangs came out, there was a gasp in the hotel. The rangers were not bad-eyed, and they immediately saw that this pair of fangs belonged to at least one count, and that it was no longer an enemy that ordinary counts could deal with. In any case, it is not a problem for someone who can take out a pair of earl's fangs to clean up ten or eight of the rangers in the inn.

The middle-aged man behind the counter changed his face slightly, quietly received the fangs under the counter, raised his hand to signal the apprentice behind him to go to the warehouse to pick up the goods, and then asked, "What kind of news do you want?"

"The most important and up-to-date. ”

The middle-aged man nodded and handed over a few pieces of paper.

Ah Le was stunned for the first time. This piece of paper records several major events that have happened recently, the most eye-catching of which is that the empire has officially announced the score ranking for some reason, which is updated once a month.

Ah Le is no longer sensitive, and he also knows that once this list is made public, it will immediately cause an uproar throughout the empire, and there must be a deep meaning behind this move.

Making the achievements of each super family public is equivalent to letting everyone see the strength of each family most intuitively. But the ranking is lagging behind, no matter how you make excuses, at least it shows that the family lacks stamina and lacks foundation.

This is no longer a matter of conspiracy, but of the face and prestige of each clan.

The word prestige has always been extremely important to the big valve. In the near term, it will affect the quantity and quality of the people who work for the work, and in the long term, it will also affect the results of the division of interests between the families.

If a high-ranking family behaves in this battle that does not match its name, it will immediately attract the prying eyes of many well-intentioned people. After all, the title of the family title, especially the title of the family branch, is not just a nice name, under each title, it means thousands of miles of land, endless wealth, and even court power.

In particular, some families with feuds are even more reluctant to see themselves compared to their enemies.

In fact, all the big families have a rough ranking in the hearts of the world. Once it is seriously deviated from the position in people's minds, it can cause serious damage to prestige. It is because when the rankings are made public, the major families are no longer suitable for hiding, even if you want to leave the powerful hole cards, you must have enough records to hold up the scene on the surface.

In such a situation, Liwei has actually become a more feasible means. As Zhang San said to Ah Le, the Zhao family was bent on neutralizing power in this war to deter Xiaoxiao.

Ah Le continued to watch, and the next is the ranking of this issue, which is listed up to 100.

This list is indeed quite unexpected. The Zhang family is still at the top of the list, but the difference in points compared to the second-place Shangguan family is only a few thousand points, but only a few hundred fighters. Among the top ten, the six super families and the imperial family are all listed, but the rankings of the Zhang family and the Zhao family are a little low, one is seventh and one is ninth.

Ah Le's heart jumped slightly, he still remembered the military merit numbers he handed in last time, and now it seems that a quarter of the Zhang family's points were contributed by him, if this part is deducted, the Zhang family may have fallen out of the top ten.

"No, I didn't mean to get to know your secrets! ”

Ah Le suddenly leaned back, and a flying knife swept in front of him with a strong wind, piercing through the walls of the houses on the other side of the alley, and he didn't know where to go. This sword is full of strength, and even the armor of the main army can be pierced with a single sword.

Ah Le looked in the direction of the flying knife, and several people walked out of the darkness, all with hideous expressions. One of them sneered, "Boy, is that what you want to do to join in the excitement of Sunset City?"

"Who are you?" said Ah Le's voice was cold.

One of the young men, who had dyed his long hair in colorful colors, sneered, "You don't care who Lao Tzu is, you just need to know that the people who want to go to the troubled waters of Sunset City are almost dead." The heads of people like you can be exchanged for a lot of money in Tang Hao. ”

Hearing Tang Hao, Ah Le's face calmed down a lot, and he asked lightly: "So, someone sold my news to you?"

"There are many people working with this online, and the transaction is not just you. Before the young man could finish speaking, a strong man next to him said: "Boss, what nonsense to talk to him!
