While the Darkness Goes On Chapter 19: The Resistance
The people in the Gao Mansion were savoring the lunch in a depressed state, and the rations were as simple as they described the impending rebellion.
At first, the people felt that this seemed to be a good thing, but as time went on, they found that because they could not grow their own crops and the merchants had no goods flowing in, their savings only decreased but did not increase, which caused a lot of conflicts, but even if they reported to the criminal government, it was useless.
It's like asking, "Is there no one to organize a revolt?" ”
Gao Pei said: "Half a year ago, I protested collectively because I was forced to helpless, but the dragon breathers in the city (people who have the ability to control energy) were all bought by the city lord at a high price, and with the combat power of our ordinary people, we have no power to return to the sky." ”
Gao Pei sighed deeply and continued: "After the failure of the rebellion, the people of the whole city now have no weapons that can be used except for knives for chopping vegetables, axes for chopping wood, and battles for rolling noodles. ”
"And what can we do? As you say, the few of us can be of very little help, and besides, we have been able to control what we have been doing since we entered the city."
Gao Pei was about to answer, when suddenly a complaining voice came from outside the door: "Okay, Qin Zhuo and I are waiting for you stupidly outside, but it turns out that you eat and drink well here." ”
But as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it, because he forgot on the spur of the moment that he was in an unsafe place, and that it was dangerous to talk nonsense.
"Little brother doesn't have to blame himself, please take a seat."
After the two of them sat down, Gao Pei suddenly got up, raised the wine bottle in front of him, bowed deeply to the five members of the Qin family, and said:
"I, Gao Pei, pray for the people of Quanfeng Cliff City, and hope that the city lord of Qin County will help after that."
As soon as these words came out, everyone sitting looked at Gao Pei with unbelievable eyes, and at this time, he was like a dragon god descending, giving people an indescribable feeling.
Needless to say, Jing Ru and Qin Feng and Qin Yue, who arrived in Gaofu first, were the most shocked, if Gao Pei was just a guess, then this was too accurate.
This also made Jing Ru and Qin Yue feel that Qin Feng had leaked it, but since Gao Fu had already made his intentions clear, he should not harm a few people.
"How did you know who we were?" It's like asking.
It seemed that this question touched Gao Pei's heart, and his feet suddenly went limp, and he almost collapsed, but fortunately he was supported by a cane.
However, as soon as Gao Pei stood firmly, he knelt on the ground again, and everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly got up, only to find that he knelt down on purpose.
He hurriedly asked, "Master Gao, what are you doing here?" ”
Gao Pei couldn't cry, tears flowed, and after a while, he spoke: "City Lord Qin, the real name of the lower official is Gao You." ”
"Gao You, this, how did you become like this."
In Jingru's impression, Gao You is a very young and promising person, with elegant conversation, not only is his combat power superior among his peers, but his strategy is also extremely strong, and his appearance is chic.
But only two years have passed, and the once brave and resourceful person has become the person who can't even stand on his feet like he is entering old age.
"It's the subordinates who should die, they didn't find out the conspiracy of the current city lord in time, last year's father died, and one of his subordinates took on the heavy responsibility of the Gao family, and the affairs in the city suddenly increased, causing him to be too hasty in his cultivation and hurt himself."
"Are you leaving now?"
"Yes, the city lord has replaced all the high-ranking officials of Peak Cliff City."
"You said that the city lord has a conspiracy, do you know what it is?"
"The city lord plans to rebel and attack Qin County."
Rebellion, this simple word, how simple it is to say, but if you want to do it, you will face Qin County, who is in charge of almost the entire Bladeless Country, and the city lord of Fengya City dares to do this, obviously he is fully prepared, and if they want to get involved, they really have to consider whether they have the ability to deal with it.
Gao You continued: "However, the city lord has been staying in the city recently, and I haven't heard of any moves from him, and the city lord's mansion doesn't have many troops of his cronies, so we plan to take this opportunity to launch a rebellion. ”
"In this way, we can directly break into the City Lord's Mansion and arrest Wang Kun (lan), but can we really succeed by relying on the strength of the Gao Mansion alone?"
"Please rest assured that the Qin City Lord has united all the mansions of Fengya City, as well as many people, and at the same time bought many soldiers, and has been preparing for half a year for this rebellion."
"And when are you going to launch it?"
"Just today, starting with the robbery."
Puzzled, he asked, "How do you know when those merchants were executed?" ”
Qin rushed to say: "Alas, they are going to be executed publicly, the notice has been posted, and at 14 o'clock in the afternoon, the whole city is asked to go to the central station of the city."
"Yes, we have discussed with the Mu family just now, and we are going to take all the tools that can hurt people, mix with the people, and then take the execution ground."
"It looks like we're going to have a small war."
After an hour, the silent city of Peak Cliff gradually became agitated, and every family was asked to participate in an execution on behalf of "justice".
Located in the very center of the Castle, it is also known as the central platform, and on a round platform made of stones, several thick tree trunks, as thick as five people holding hands, are erected on a round platform made of stones, and these wooden stakes are taken from the snow to suppress the souls of the dead with the bitter cold.
The skin of these stakes is carved into a picture of a deep forest in the mountains, and a carved dragon hovers upward, the tips of the dragon's claws are long and sharp, and it can be contracted, and there are ropes of grass and trees attached to it; The dragon's head has a pair of inverted tentacles, but it is actually two scimitars, just enough to cut off a person's shoulders and cut off the prisoner's arms.
The dragon's mouth was wide open, and when a prisoner was executed, a dragon ball would spit out of its mouth, which was actually a round stone, heavy enough to smash a person's head.
In addition, it can also be punished with cones, broken strands, and palace punishments, but these wooden stakes are for ordinary people, and it also has a resounding name - Dragon Prison Pile.
For those who have attribute abilities and break the law, they need to use the Exorcism Pillar, which has numerous wooden spikes inserted into it, and when the prisoner with attribute ability is pierced by these spikes, the attribute energy will be forcibly released, and it can no longer gather energy.
The sun is scorching, but there are more and more people gathered in the central platform of the city, and the relatively empty venue is also crowded with water, according to normal times, the people now have far exceeded the people who arrived at the execution under normal circumstances, but the judge on the stage was very dissatisfied with the number of people here, because he knew very well how many people there were in Fengya City, and the people who arrived here were less than one-third.
The reason why all the people were required to be present was because the city clerks heard the news that the people wanted to rebel, and when someone was absent without reason, they could conclude that he had the intention to rebel, but now there was a shortage of people far more than expected, and the judge could only order the search to be postponed.
However, after a long time, the number of people did not increase, and the judge was furious, and regardless of what accidents might happen, he ordered a house-to-house search, but he still secretly sent people to the city lord's mansion to ask for help.
With the powerful shouting of the three words, "lead the prisoners", several people with shackles slowly walked up to the central platform of the city, and the jailer tied them to the pillar with dragon claw ropes, waiting for the judge's order, they were about to be smashed to pieces.
After waiting for a while, the judge saw that no one was coming, and was just about to give the order, when a jailer ran out of the alley in a panic and shouted, "It's a bad thing, someone is rebelling." ”
Before the words were spoken, the crowd flocked from all directions, and they were not holding serious weapons in their hands, but kitchen knives, wood axes, hoes, dry forks, bamboo poles, and even wine cans and rice pots.
The judge had no idea about the execution at this time, and he knew that the purpose of those people was not just to rob the court, so he hurriedly ordered: "Stop them, and kill them all." ”
However, as soon as a platoon of soldiers was lined up, one soldier suddenly drew a short knife and stabbed the soldier next to him, because he was a civilian pretending.
He was soon killed, but it also bought time for the others, and the disorganized soldiers were beaten to death by the rebels.
At this time, one of the energy controllers in the guard jumped out and slashed at the resistance team with the battle axe in his hand, and the powerful rain attribute energy burst out, the rain attribute is characterized by persistence, it can be used to block the gathering of other attributes, and can form continuous attacks such as frost and hail.
This soldier belonged to the criminal government, so he naturally respected his duties and responsibilities, and did not spare the resistance in the slightest.
"When~", the battle axe did not release energy, but was resisted by a war hammer, but only consumed part of the energy, the battle axe is superior, the rain attribute energy formed a raindrop to fly around, don't think that this raindrop is weak and can't help the wind, if you let a strong man feel the change in energy, he will find that this raindrop is like a chariot wanton destruction in the enemy's formation.
It was Qin Ji who held the war hammer in the rebel army, after all, he only had specialized level combat power, and the enemy he faced was at least elite-level, and the gap in strength made him retreat.
Suddenly, an arrow suddenly burst out of the crowd, interrupting the guards who continued to pursue, but the arrow missed, and the other party didn't have to dodge, the arrow whistled past, Qin Yue couldn't believe his eyes, this distance, the distance that could be shot with his eyes closed, actually missed.
After Qin saw it, he quickly felt the difference in the combat power between the two sides, but he could only shout: "Jing Yue (in order to avoid being discovered, he is called by his surname), he is a rain attribute and has a strong interference ability." ”
Qin Yue understood what he meant, and shot another arrow 'Wind Tide', the wind attribute energy and the rain attribute energy collided, and the interference was indeed much smaller, but it was still easily dodged by the other party.
'Enhancement Technique•Instant', the lightning fell instantly, but the damage was insignificant, but at this time, the people swarmed up, trying to crush him to the ground, and this guard stopped the release of rain attribute energy in order to resist the impact with all his strength.
Qin was ruthless, pulled out Qin Yue's failed arrow, and pierced the guards' eyes, and in the end, the guards fell down one after another in the crowd of the rebels, and a person who was not afraid of death stood on the central platform of the city, untied the rope that bound the merchants, but respectfully bowed to the dragon prison pile, in the hearts of the people, the dragon prison pile is a solemn holy spirit, an inviolable instrument, but the rebels felt that they were defending the true justice of the dragon god, and the merchants who saved it were also framed. After sending the merchant down, the man shouted: "Everyone, as grass people, we originally lived a carefree life and were self-sufficient in food and clothing, but the lord of the city took possession of our land, although it was sold at a low price, but you have also seen that our belongings are decreasing every day, and they are all used in exchange for food, and if this continues, we will eventually have nothing, so we must resist, overthrow the lord of the city, and restore everything in Peak Cliff City to its original state." ”
