Chapter 157: After the War
The day after the war.
In the city lord's mansion, Lu Ming sat on the main seat, and his subordinates sat on the left and right sides, and in the magnificent hall, dozens of people were sitting, highlighting the development achievements of Xianyang City during this period of time, and everything was slowly on the right track.
Looking at his subordinates talking about the gains and losses of this battle, Lu Ming frowned and looked at the entrance.
He was waiting for someone, waiting for someone to bring him a piece of news that kept him awake all night.
After a short time, he hurried over when he saw Lu Bu, and without waiting for Lu Bu to take his seat, Lu Ming hurriedly asked.
"Feng Xian, how are the injuries of the soldiers?"
When Lu Bu heard this, he was three points jealous and seven points angry, and glanced at Zhuge Liang angrily. Seeing that he was sitting calmly, as if all this had nothing to do with him, Zhuge Liang, who was sitting upright, was surging with anger in his heart like a volcanic eruption.
After taking out Fang Tian's painting halberd to stab him to death under strong pressure, Lu Bu said: "Lord Qiqi, Wen Yuan and the others are full of blood and spirit, and their spirits are seriously damaged, after a night of treatment, although there is no worry about their lives, but if there is no heaven and earth treasure within half a year, it will be difficult to go to the battlefield again." ”
Although this passage was Lu Bu's reply to Lu Ming, his eyes and tone were very unkind, and he could even be said to be shouting out through gritted teeth. Anyone with a discerning eye can see who this is said for, and it can also be seen how angry Lu Bu's heart is at this moment.
Above the main hall, no matter how martial arts there were, they all looked at it with strange faces, and glanced at Zhuge Liang, who was sitting in a precarious position, and couldn't help but show a strange expression on his face.
After a series of battles, except for the mercenary group, the main force of Xianyang can be said to be intact.
Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the generals who can be the top of their own platoon, were not injured in the fight with other races, but they almost died at the hands of their own people, and they were sucked dry and died......
This fact makes everyone think very frightened.
Time goes back to the day before.
After Zhang Liao fell, he realized that he had seriously underestimated this fateful formation.
After absorbing his cloud qi and internal qi, he didn't plan to let go of himself, as time passed, Zhang Liao felt that his vitality was becoming the nutrients of this ball of light bit by bit.
"I didn't expect that I, Zhang Wenyuan, would be on the battlefield all my life, and I would die so aggrieved in my next life......," Zhang Liao laughed at himself without tears.
Just when Zhang Liao felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and his consciousness was getting more and more blurred, Zhuge Liang stepped into the air with his Wuhou car, and his hands brought up a series of afterimages to quickly form seals, and one by one the formations were punched into the ball of light by him.
Only then did he gradually pacify the infinitely expanding ball of light, let him slowly converge his body, stop the unscrupulous plunder, and pull Zhang Liao and the soldiers of the trapped camp back from the Ghost Gate.
At that moment, the tragic situation within a kilometer around the golden ball of light was terrifying.
Whether it is the Golden Clan warriors, mercenaries, or the slow-running Shushan monks, and the soldiers who are trapped in the camp, at this moment, they are like drug addicts for many years, and the emaciated body is only skinny and bones, and the radius of a kilometer instantly loses its color, only the earthy yellow of the earth and the gloomy gray sky.
Lu Ming naturally heard the dissatisfaction in Lu Bu's words, and said with a solemn face: "Fengxian Cloud Devouring Array was already in the research and development stage, and I decided to put it into use in order to show Xianyang's force, and it was not the fault of the military division. I would like to apologize to you first. ”
After speaking, Lu Ming could get up and apologize to Lu Bu.
"Lord, you are ......," Lu Bu looked incredulous when he heard this.
In his heart, Lu Ming is not such a cold-blooded and ruthless person! He used the lives of his brothers to win the battle.
This is not something that my own father-in-law can do.
"Don't be in a hurry, and listen to me. Lu Ming raised his hand slightly to stop Lu Bu, turned to look at Zhuge Liang, and said with a slight salute: "The hard military advisor is planning for me." ”
Zhuge Liang was slightly moved and got up and saluted back: "The matter within the division should not be a great gift from the lord." ”
Lu Ming and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent, and the tacit understanding between the monarch and the minister was undoubted.
Then Lu Ming sat back in his position and said to everyone: "Are you strange, when our army's combat strength is superior, why does our army still make dangerous moves and set up this cloud devouring array that does not distinguish between the enemy and me?"
There was a lot of civil and military discussion on both sides of the story, especially Li Qing and Miao Yan, who escaped death, and the exchange between the two was the most intense.
The formation was laid by them, but their men were killed and wounded, but they were also the most official forces in Xianyang City except for the trapped camp where the whole army was annihilated. More than half of the Shushan disciples and the mercenaries of the Giant Tiger Mercenary Group were lying in the hospital wailing in pain at the moment.
After listening to the exchange for a while, Lu Ming raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and continued: "Do you know what is the attitude of many mercenaries towards me, the city lord of Xianyang City, in Xianyang City today. ”
As soon as Lu Ming's words came out, the audience was instantly silent.
What is the attitude of the mercenaries towards the Xianyang official? This is a taboo that everyone knows well but dare not speak.
That's a group of hungry wolves looking around the giant tiger! Most of the powerful mercenary groups are still dreaming, thinking of replacing Lu Ming and becoming the lord of this Xianyang City.
But can they say that?
I'm afraid that as soon as I say it, it will be a tragedy with rolling heads and bloody waves!
Lu Ming asked at this moment, "Wouldn't it be that he was going to settle down after going outside?"
Wang Anmin, director of the Civil Security Division, was extremely frightened, as the head of the Provincial Public Security Department before the apocalypse, the reason why he would deign to accept Lu Ming's recruitment was to adjust the contradictions between the two forces and leave more seeds for the already small remaining Terrans.
At this moment, when he heard that Lu Ming had the intention of using a knife against his own people, he immediately couldn't sit still, and he wanted to get up to find a way to live for a group of mercenaries.
But there was a small hand that had been like white jade tightly grabbing the corner of his clothes, pulling with all his might, even if his fingertips were white, he didn't mean to let go, just to prevent him from getting up.
After several attempts failed to break free, Wang Anmin looked back at the owner of the little white jade hand with a pleading face.
That person was none other than the Director of the Agency, Wang Yan.
"Brother Wang, don't!" Wang Yan said with an eager face.
"Xiaoyan!" Looking at the peerless beauty with an eager face in front of him, and that pitiful face, Wang Anmin's heart softened, and he was embarrassed for a while.
On the one hand, there is the day when he is accompanied by his high-ranking official Houlu and such an abrasive little goblin, and on the other hand, there is justice that he does not know life and death. It made it a bit difficult for him to choose.
To say that this Wang Yan is also a smart person, at the previous fateful meeting, after seducing Lu Ming and being ignored by Lu Ming with a cold face, he knew that this matter was impossible, so he immediately gave up.
After some careful consideration, he finally chose Wang Anmin as his backer. Although this backer is not very majestic, all Wang Yan wants is to settle down, and this Wang Anmin's position and ability fully meet all her requirements.
It was on her initiative again and again that our Director of the Security Division fell.
Now seeing that her man actually wants to find death, how could she, Wang Yan, agree.
Not mentioning the thoughts in the hearts of the two of them, Li Qing didn't have so many concerns, Lu Ming was closed, he ignored Miao Yan's repeated stops, and stepped into the arena with a brisk stride.
He said loudly: "Great God, although the mercenaries in the Great God City have two hearts, but in the face of my strong military force in Xianyang, they are even more hopeless, and after yesterday's battle...... Yesterday's battle ......" Li Qing suddenly woke up as he spoke, and he didn't know how to say the following words, and he stood in place in embarrassment for a while.
was said by Li Qing, and everyone also came back to their senses.
After this battle, the Xianyang official not only showed off his toned muscles to the various forces in Xianyang City, but also showed his ruthlessness.
This is enough for those who have unrealistic illusions to recognize the reality.
A giant who is not only powerful, but also ruthless asks if you are afraid.
Not to mention overthrowing him, even the mind of resistance can be worn out for you.
After thinking about this, everyone in the hall had different expressions, and they all glanced at Lu Ming deeply, knowing that they were going to get to know this guy who was just lucky in their eyes.
"The lord is wise!"
At this moment, no matter what their intentions were, the people who appeared in this hall couldn't help but shout solemnly.
"Hahaha, I read that you all understand, so I won't say more. Next, let's plan how to go from here. Lu Ming said with a smile.
At this moment, he knew what it was like for the ancient emperor to sit on the dragon chair and enjoy the courtiers singing praises and worshipping virtues.
