Chapter Ninety-Two: Rebellion
Snowy night.
The cold wind whimpered, and the long street was lonely.
The wooden archway creaked in the strong wind, and the snowflakes swirled into the collar. Huang San, a watchman wearing a thick leather jacket, walked on the long street of bluestone, tapping the bamboo tube a few times from time to time, and shouting the words of 'pay attention to the water'.
At the end of the long street, a noodle stall is still open.
The bone broth boiled by the boss is fragrant along the cold wind, and the tempting fragrance attracts some poor people who beg for a living at night.
"Boss, three taels of noodles, two catties of beef."
Huang San put down the bamboo tube in his hand, rubbed his hands and sat on the noodle stall.
It's too cold.
Huang San, who finished the shift, basically eats a bowl of noodles here every day, he is already a regular customer of this noodle stall, and he has known the owner for more than ten years.
White Deer City is a place to seek immortals.
It's also a place of the ordinary.
Countless outsiders who failed to seek immortals gathered here to cast this big city. Compared with the less than one percent of the successful, the remaining ninety-nine percent are the mainstream of the city. These losers also had the dream of 'seeking immortals' when they were young, but as they grew older, their unrealistic dreams were put down by them, and the rest was firewood, rice, oil and salt.
Huang San came to White Deer City when he was sixteen years old, and he stayed for more than thirty years, and now he is fifty-two years old.
It's still a single one.
In this world, it is difficult for ordinary people to live, and it is even more difficult to ask for a daughter-in-law.
He didn't know where to go when he left White Deer City, and it was because of the night demon in his hometown that he fled to White Deer City. He has been accustomed to life here for so many years, compared to the turmoil outside, at least it is stable here, although the life is a little harder, but it is good to live.
The requirements of a person like him are very simple.
"Why is it so early today?"
After the boss finished the noodles, he scooped a bowl of bone broth for Huang San.
It's piping hot.
"The adults are all asleep, I just need to walk around twice to make sense, besides, how can it be so easy to catch fire." According to the regulations, Huang San, a watchman like Huang San, has to go around the city three times, and the street he is responsible for has to go around three times at least until the end of the ugly end of the year.
"Yes, there are immortal elders here anyway."
The boss said with a smile.
Anyway, there was no one now, and after meeting Huang San, he sat opposite and chatted. The business of night stalls is originally to be acquaintances, the world is difficult, and the noodle stalls are difficult to run in order to survive, and the consumption of living in Bailu City is not low.
"I heard your daughter is almost fourteen? Prepare when to let her take the test. ”
Becoming an immortal is the dream of all people living in White Deer City. Their generation is not good, and they hope that the next generation can succeed.
Because the immortal is long, it is the reliance of White Deer City.
It is also their hope.
With the existence of the immortal chief, they will not make trouble with the night demons here, and they ordinary people can live a stable life.
"Next month, next month, the Haigang will have a chance to recruit disciples, and I will take Xiu'er to have a look." mentioned his daughter Xiaoxiu, and the noodle stall owner Lao Feng smiled when he received the reward.
What he is most proud of is that his daughter is qualified!
This was said by a big man passing by in the City Lord's Mansion.
Although the qualifications are not enough to participate in Penglai's Xianmen ceremony, there is still hope for entering the gang. For them locals, the most practical thing is to join the four major forces. Although it is not as good as Penglai Immortal Island, it can be regarded as entering the door of the 'Immortal Chief', and if you are lucky, you can't become an Immortal Chief.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the immortal is at the top.
"It's good, it's not like I'm single, I don't have much hope." Huang San ate the last noodle and drank the bone broth in a big gulp.
The warmth spreads all the way to the stomach.
Because of the more frozen hands and feet, it has finally eased a lot.
"Chenghui, seven cents."
The boss said with a smile.
"Qiwen? Why has the price increased again. ”
Huang San, who took out five big money, said dissatisfiedly.
"The world is difficult, I heard that there is another war outside, and several trade routes have been cut off. If no supplies come in, the price will naturally rise. The boss vomited bitterness. He doesn't want to raise the price, but it's really getting harder and harder lately.
No more than the big men of the gangs, they care most about food and housing.
"The world is like this, why do those people still want to fight."
Huang San was distressed and paid two more big bucks.
The silver that has no value in the eyes of the big people has to be broken and counted in the eyes of ordinary people. The war is the most disturbing, and the Taiping Sect has been rumored to be making trouble outside. Huang San and ordinary people like them may not know about the 'Yellow Spring' and the 'Heavenly Realm' behind it, but the Taiping Sect knows it. That's why I'm worried because I know.
"I don't know what the big guys think."
The boss took the big money and counted it carefully twice before putting it back in his pocket.
"I heard that there was a disturbance in the Taiping Sect outside, and many gang bigwigs were beheaded by them."
"That must not have come to our White Deer City, our gang members in White Deer City, but there are immortal elders."
Huang San took his things and prepared to go back to rest.
"It's water, it's water!!"
There was a rapid sound of gongs striking in the distance, and with the sound, the two of them didn't care about discussing the price of goods, and quickly looked up into the distance.
At the end of the street, I saw that the largest house had caught fire.
The sky-high firelight dispelled the cold, and the yellow-brown light illuminated the two of them
"That place...... It's the Castle Lord's Mansion! ”
"The City Lord's Mansion is on fire?!"
The two of them felt cold in their hearts, and the pace of the fire that they had planned to go over to fight the fire slowed down.
The City Lord's Mansion is an immortal!
Since there is an immortal chief, why is it still on fire? Even the immortal chief can't save the fire, is it useful for the two of them to rush over.
Inside the Castle Lord's Mansion.
"This also deserves to be called 'Immortal Chief'?"
Jun Tianqi withdrew his right hand, and the city lord of White Deer City fell to the ground like a dead dog, silent.
"Local gangs, it's good to have a desireless realm."
The other stretched out his sword and wiped it on the dead body of the city lord, and put it into its sheath.
Ten days later, the 'Heavenly Realm' officially attacked White Deer City, which was a plan formulated by Jun Tianqi. However, this is the general trend, and the subsection is assassination and weakening. In order to reduce the pressure on the Taiping Sect when it was facing each other, the Heavenly Realm had already begun to weaken the power on the side of White Deer City.
As the strongest of the four major forces in White Deer City, the City Lord's Mansion is naturally the first to bear the brunt.
This is not incomprehensible, any war is accompanied by conspiracy and assassination. Although the high-level combat power of this world is somewhat inhuman, the low-level management is still inseparable from the 'four major forces'.
Jun Tianqi's plan is very simple, and he will try his best to weaken the opponent in a head-to-head battle. Just like Huangquan sent people to purge the Taiping Sect members in Qingzhou, he was also doing something similar.
