Chapter 261: Entering the City, Slaughtering the City, Excuses, Reasons.

Of course, Singlescreen You doesn't understand why the old man sighs, because she has always been pampered, she has not experienced humiliation, betrayal, War and a series of things that can destroy beauty, although she left her hometown to climb mountains and wade to Yanguo at this moment, although she watched a clan fall by her side, but these are not enough to change Shan Ping You's expectations for the future life, her expectations are very simple or beautiful, that is, a simple and happy life, like most people, the current single screen Yu has a little innocence for the future, which is very clear to the old man who is called a mage in the mouth of Single Screen You, so the old man looked at Shan Ping You and didn't say anything――There are some things that can only be understood when you have experienced them on a single screen. No pop-up window update fast // (_)

Looking at the city walls of Qingyun City, the old man next said a few words to the single screen, and then walked towards Qingyun City alone, it is still early to close the city gate, he doesn't know why the gate of Qingyun City is closed - he doesn't know what has happened in this world over the past ten years.

Just when Shan Ping You and his party came to the city of Fire City, the 'Phoenix Army' led by Qiao Er and Situ Haoyu was no more than a hundred miles away from Phoenix City.

This is a pair of armies that have been controversial recently.

When the news of the Phoenix Army's victory over the Mangguo Iron Cavalry spread, people began to re-examine this army - although the 50,000 Phoenix Army only had less than 10,000 people left, what people cared about was not how many people died in the Phoenix Army, but that the Phoenix Army won the battle, and not many people paid attention to why it fought.

Attention was paid to the swords and arrows on the armor of these soldiers, and to the sporadic blood stains left on the ground after they walked past.

Although these Phoenix soldiers were all on war horses, it can be seen from the soldiers who helped with bandages that a large number of them were seriously injured.

Although he was seriously wounded, no one gave up the spear he was holding.

In this way, an army bypassed Lihuo City, and then walked between the official roads, and rushed to Phoenix City all night.

"There's less than a hundred miles ahead, so if you speed up, you'll be in Phoenix before it gets dark. Looking at the map in his hand, Shangguan Haoyu turned his head to Qiao Er and said.

"Let the soldiers rest in place and wait until it gets dark before entering the city. Qiao Er pondered for a moment and said, after saying this, he looked at the sky in the distance, "I don't know if there is heavy rain tonight." ”

"What should you do when you enter the city?" Hearing Qiao Er's words, Shangguan Haoyu nodded, turned around and said a few words to one of his subordinates behind him, and then looked at Qiao Er and asked.

"The people who first controlled the city lord's mansion and the government office. Hearing Shangguan Haoyu ask himself what to do next, Qiao Er secretly felt a little proud in his heart, and glanced at Gu Huancheng, who was silent on the side, Qiao Er didn't want to continue to discuss with Shangguan Haoyu what to do after entering the city, so he changed the topic and said, "Thanks to the two of you this time, Brother Shangguan is deeply affectionate, and Brother Gu is also chivalrous, I will definitely thank him again." ”

"He'll talk about it every day. Looking at Qiao Er, Shangguan Haoyu was silent for a moment, and then said, "No matter what, you can't kill people after entering the city." ”

"What if someone in the city wants to resist?" Gu Huancheng first glanced at Qiao Er when he said this, and then turned his head to look at Shangguan Haoyu.

"If you can't do it, you won't do it. Looking at Gu Huancheng, Shangguan Haoyu frowned, "Although we used to be robbers, we robbed people who were rich and unkind, Guo Shihao's Phoenix Army in Phoenix City has now been wiped out, even if there are small forces, as long as they use some means, they will definitely give in...... After all, we are all Yanguo people. ”

"Brother Shangguan, what do you think...... When we were hiding in the ravine and sleeping in the open, those Yanguo people didn't treat us as human beings. Hearing Shangguan Haoyu's words, Gu Huancheng retorted again, but in the end, he also nodded, "When the time comes, act when you see the opportunity, if you can, you won't do it, after all, it will be difficult to make up for one less person in our army." ”

"I haven't been bothered by inspections along the way, I'm wondering if the brother we left to dispose of the corpse has been evacuated to a safe place, otherwise if Lu Tianxing discovers our traces, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in Phoenix for long." ”

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. Hearing Shangguan Haoyu's words, Qiao Er smiled, "I don't think Lu Tianyu would have thought that this war would end like this if he wanted to break his head." ”

"That's where the weirdness begins. Seeing that Qiao Er said it easily, Shangguan Haoyu was a little worried, "At the beginning, Guo Shihao led the Phoenix Army north to Lu Tianxing and didn't say anything, and then when Guo Shihao went to fight with the Mangguo Iron Cavalry, Lu Tianxing still didn't do anything, and now let's go all the way south, Lu Tianxing still didn't say anything or do anything, don't you think it's strange at all?"

"It's kind of weird. After listening to Shangguan Haoyu's words, Qiao Er frowned, looking at him in the south, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Even if it is discovered by Lu Tianxing, let's just break it into pieces and hide it again, I don't believe that Lu Tianxing can dig every inch of land in the Yan Country. Listening to the conversation between the two and looking at the two who fell into silence, Gu Huancheng said with a smile at this time.

"It's not as good as this. Looking at the two of them, Qiao Er pondered for a moment and said, "Let's release the news that Guo Shihao is dead, when the time comes, Phoenix City will have no city lord, Lu Tianxing will definitely issue an edict to appoint a new city lord, if Lu Tianxing appoints a new city lord, it means that no one knows about our actions this time except for a few parties, if Lu Tianxing does not take any action, then we are ready to retreat, otherwise when Lu Tianxing starts to deal with us, we really can't fight with him now." ”

"Although there is no news from the south these days, in my estimation, if everything goes well, Ning Guolang Kingdom in the south will make moves in the near future, which is probably one of the reasons why Lu Tianxing has not bothered to clean up our Phoenix Army recently. After saying this, Qiao Er smiled bitterly, "No matter how much we think about here now, it's superfluous, just like Brother Gu said, if it really doesn't work, let's withdraw, anyway, we are the biggest winners in this operation." ”

"That's all there is to it. Looking at Su Qiaoer, Shangguan Haoyu nodded helplessly, and then chatted with Qiao Er about the current situation of Liu Yi and others, and then went to arrange the next matters, looking at the departing Shangguan Haoyu, Gu Huancheng was silent for a while, looking at Qiao Er, who was speechless, his mouth opened, and he didn't say anything in the end when he wanted to say something a few times.

"What are you worried about?" looked at Gu Huancheng, who wanted to speak and stopped, Qiao Er asked after recovering from his thoughts.

"Just now, Shangguan Boss said that when you enter Phoenix City, don't kill innocents indiscriminately...... But...... How can you calm people if you don't kill people?" Gu Huancheng looked at Qiao Er and said his inner worries without hesitation.

"Killings can sometimes provoke public outrage. Looking at Gu Huancheng, Qiao Er smiled, "There are at least 200,000 citizens in Phoenix City, and we only have 10,000 people, if these people gather together, we may end up miserable." Speaking of this, Qiao Er paused, "So, as you said, there is no way to deter everyone if you don't kill people, but it also depends on the timing and object of killing." ”

"What should I do if Shangguan Boss is not happy then?"

"Let's avoid him...... I really can't, I have my own way to get him to agree. Qiao Er said and looked at the soldiers who were resting in the distance, "Most of your people stayed outside the fire city to clean up the corpses, how many followed?"

"About two thousand. Hearing Qiao Er's culture, Gu Huancheng frowned, he didn't know why Qiao Er asked this question.

"When you enter the city, let's be together, and remember to bring at least two hundred brethren with you. ”

"That's fine. Gu Huancheng nodded.

"Let's go and prepare first, and I'll arrange it when the time comes. ”

After saying yes, Gu Huancheng walked towards the dismounted soldiers and looked around, Qiao Er was still standing in place thinking about something.

The time was fast, and it was almost daytime, and the words and things that were done seemed to be right in front of me.

The sky finally darkened in Qiao Er's expectation.

Black can't help but cover people's eyes, and it can also cover people's hearts.

Watching the soldiers enter the city gate one after another, Qiao Er made a color to Gu Huancheng, and Gu Huancheng, who knew it, made a gesture, and had been waiting for the hundred-man team behind Shangguan Haoyu, and ran towards the city at this time - the Phoenix Army is the defender of Phoenix City, but as Guo Shihao led the troops north, there were only ten soldiers left on the city gate, looking at the soldiers who suddenly ran up, although the gatekeeper was a little surprised, he didn't think much about it, because these soldiers were wearing the armor of the Phoenix Army, and the armor only had blood stains.

"Where's the castle lord?" asked the captain of the gate, looking at the person running at the front.

......Hearing the gatekeeper's question, the man who was running at the front quickened his pace, and at the same time raised the spear in his hand, and said as he ran, "City Lord...... He's dead. ”

"What?, the lord of the castle is dead?" the gatekeeper who heard this was shocked, but before he could react, a spear had already come out of his chest.

This is just the beginning of the killing.

However, within a dozen breaths, the gatekeepers in Phoenix City became ghosts under the guns of Gu Huancheng's men.

After killing these ten gatekeepers, looking at his companions who had all entered Phoenix City, Gu Huancheng, who had come to the city wall, gave an order, closed the city gate, and from now on, issued a notice that Phoenix City was only allowed to enter but not leave.

"What should I do next?" After arranging these, Gu Huancheng came to the city wall, looked at Shangguan Haoyu who was rushing to the original Phoenix Army camp with his subordinates, and then looked back at the three hundred subordinates behind him, Gu Huancheng looked at Qiao Er, who was waiting for him, and asked.

"Don't you want silver?" Looking at Gu Huancheng, Qiao Er smiled mysteriously, and then took out a list from his arms, "Here are the addresses of the four largest money banks and shops in Phoenix, I don't think I need me to teach you how to do it." ”

"I know how to do it. Taking the list from Qiao Er's hand, Gu Huancheng said excitedly.

"Remember to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces of murder, and don't set it on fire. Qiao Er looked at Gu Huancheng, whose eyes were already a little bloodshot, and admonished.

"There's no going to be a mess. Speaking of this, Gu Huancheng was stunned, and then looked at Qiao Er and said with some concern, "If Brother Shangguan knows about it, he will blame it......"

"You won't let him know?" Qiao Er looked at Gu Huancheng and asked rhetorically.

"I try to be as clean as I can. After saying this, Gu Huancheng waved his hand and disappeared into the darkness with a group of brothers under him.

But there is no impermeable wall in this world, and when a raging fire ignited near the east gate of Phoenix City, not only did Shangguan Haoyu know what was happening, but the red night sky illuminated by the fire woke up many sleeping city citizens.

"What are you doing here?" Looking at the soldiers carrying heavy wooden boxes from the burning manor, Shangguan Haoyu, who came to Gu Huancheng's side, punched Gu Huancheng on the right cheek.

Gu Huancheng, who was punched in the face by Shangguan Haoyu, took a few steps back sharply, and Gu Huancheng, who looked at Shangguan Haoyu opening his mouth to say something, didn't have time to say anything in the end, but spit out a mouthful of blood first, with a few broken teeth in the blood.

Looking at the shocking bloodstains on the ground, Gu Huancheng knew that this was still mercy on the part of Shangguan Haoyu's subordinates, otherwise he was afraid that his head would also turn into meat sauce under his punch.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Looking at Gu Huancheng, who didn't speak, his eyes swept over the faces of the soldiers who were slowly surrounding, Shangguan Haoyu stared at Gu Huancheng and asked again.

"Brother Shangguan, take a step to speak. Just when Gu Huancheng didn't know how to answer to calm down the angry Shangguan Haoyu, he heard a familiar voice.

Looking at the skyrocketing fire, Qiao Er glared at Gu Huancheng, but when he looked at Shangguan Haoyu, Qiao Er's face was already full of smiles, "Please also ask Brother Shangguan to let his subordinates put out the fire first, otherwise wait until the people are watching...... I'm afraid there will be some misfortune left behind. ”

Of course, Shangguan Haoyu knew which was more important, and after ordering his subordinates to disperse the streets to prohibit the citizens of Phoenix City from watching, looking at the fire that was too late to put out even if it was too late, Shangguan Haoyu sighed at the night sky, and then turned his head to look at Qiao Er, "Give me an explanation." ”

"Gu Huancheng's hijacking of money is my arrangement. Looking at Shangguan Haoyu with a cold face, Qiao Er knew that he couldn't hide the facts, so he told the truth.

"I want to know why. When he said this, Shangguan Haoyu stared at Qiao Er for a moment, "Qiao Er, you have changed. ”

"Am I changing?" Hearing Shangguan Haoyu's words, Qiao Er smiled bitterly, and then nodded, "I have changed, I am not as enthusiastic as I was eighteen years ago, and I even began to become a little timid." ”

"It's not easy for us people to survive, but am I really afraid of death?" staring at Shangguan Haoyu's eyes, Qiao Er said in a deep voice, "Of course I'm not afraid, I just want to do what I do next to make those dead brothers close their eyes." ”

"Maybe Brother Shangguan has been used to living a reckless life over the years, and he doesn't know what he needs if he fights. ”

"What do you need?" Listening to Qiao Er's words, Shangguan Haoyu slowly fell into some kind of memory.

Because of the memory, so sad.

"It takes silver, a lot of silver, to fight. ”

Hearing Qiao Er's words, Shangguan Haoyu was silent and silent, because he knew that Qiao Er was telling the truth - without silver, there would be no food, and without silver, he might have to go to another city on foot, without silver, how could so many people be willing to work hard?

Thinking of these, Shangguan Haoyu suddenly felt a sense of helplessness in his heart, after all, there are very few people who simply come together for their dreams and encourage each other to work hard.

Is it the dream that turns the world upside down, or the world that destroys the dream?

Do you remember the dreams you had when you were younger?

Remember the promises you made when you were younger?

Dreams, like a flower, may never wither in their hearts, but how many people insist on persevering and forgetting the original intention of coming to the present?

This is also what the mistress means. Looking at Shangguan Haoyu, who was silent, Qiao Er said softly.

"We're not young anymore. ”

"How many eighteen years can there be in your life?"

"Do you have to fight with the weapons in your hands when we are too old to walk?"

"So, there are some things that someone has to do, even if they are scolded and hated and killed. ”

"This is also the purpose of me to let Gu Huancheng rob money and kill people, to say that the good thing is to lay the foundation for the future world, and the bad one is for the silver. ”

"Brother Shangguan, tell me, if it were you, how would you choose? Between dreams and reality?"
