Chapter 70: When things go wrong, there must be demons

After a long waiting period, Feng Shi and Ziyang, who were hiding in an uninhabited courtyard, finally waited until it was dark and quietly slipped out of their hiding place.

When they went out on the street, they were stunned by what they saw.

I saw that the streets were brightly lit, the bustling crowd was shuttling back and forth, and the shouts of the vendors were endless, which was several times more lively than during the day.

Ziyang was dumbfounded, and exclaimed in a low voice, "Why is White Rock City so lively at night? Isn't there a curfew?! ”

Daqian followed the system of the previous dynasty, and all cities had to close their gates after nightfall, and their people were forbidden to go out into the streets.

Night watchers patrol the streets in groups of five, but anyone who is active in the street will be arrested.

The purpose of this is to maintain social stability, and the property safety of the people, so as to avoid making trouble at night.

With the strength of him and Feng Shi, he naturally wouldn't take the night master in his eyes, and wanted to take advantage of the night to investigate the traces of the Dog Emperor.

But he never expected to see a scene that was completely different from other places, which surprised him.

Even the Feng Master, who had always been calm, was a little surprised at this time, and couldn't help but look around.

I saw that the people came and went with leisurely expressions, as if they were traveling, and often stopped in front of the roadside vendors to ask for some things.

The vendors are also enthusiastic, greeting the people who come and go, and the whole street looks extremely prosperous and lively, which is stronger than the capital.

After a while, Feng Shi couldn't help but praise: "The world says that the Nine Emperors are mediocre, in my opinion, they are all people who use false rumors, but they are really great talents in governing the world!" ”

Ziyang had never heard of Master Feng having such a high opinion of a person, so he was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.

He was already smart, and he quickly understood Feng Shi's words, and with admiration on his face, he sighed with emotion: "What Feng Shi said is extremely true, the city is so lively at night that there are many vendors, and under the circulation of goods and money, many people will be able to work, and the people will have money to spend and ensure food and clothing, and the government can also collect a large amount of taxes and silver to develop armaments, killing two birds with one stone!" ”

Hearing this, Feng Shi nodded with satisfaction: "Ziyang can have such an opinion, I am very relieved!" ”

At this time, she was a little hesitant to kill Li Changfeng in her heart.

After all, she had suffered many setbacks in Baishi City before, and even damaged many brothers and sisters in the association, which made her feel murderous intent towards Li Changfeng.

But when I saw the prosperous scene in front of me at night, I couldn't help but be shaken.

If Li Changfeng can be recruited, he will be able to stabilize the country and make the whole world rich.

Ziyang didn't know what Feng Shi was thinking, looked left and right, and saw that no one noticed them, so he said in a low voice: "Let's go and find out the whereabouts of the Dog Emperor." ”

Feng Shi nodded, and was about to set off to find the whereabouts of the City Lord's Mansion in the night.

Before he could start searching, suddenly a deafening whining sound echoed over the White Rock City, and the people on the streets raised their heads and looked out of the city, frowning.

"Damn! Listen to this siren, it's another beast tide! ”

"This brute, dare to offend my White Rock City, it's really looking for death!"

"It's the middle of the night, and I can't stop it!"

The people scolded angrily.

Feng Shi and Ziyang were surprised to find that in the face of the attack of the beast tide, the people in the city were not afraid, but were a little impatient and annoyed.

It's so perverse.

You must know that the evil beasts are tyrannical and powerful, and the people of ordinary cities will be frightened when they hear the attack of the beast tide, and even the well-equipped defenders will treat it solemnly.

Do they think that ten zhang of the city wall is enough to resist the tide of beasts?

If it's really a beast tide, I'm afraid it's difficult.

Could it be that there are other things that White Rock City can't rely on?

Feng Shi and Ziyang glanced at each other, and sneaked in the direction of the city wall with doubts.

Li Changfeng, who was drinking and having fun in the sky, naturally heard the alarm and looked puzzled.

According to the experience of the past ten years, the beast tide is basically once every six months, and there will not be much deviation in time.

But now, in just half a month, there have been three beast tides in succession, which is really a bit abnormal.

"There must be a demon when things go wrong, I have to go and see what's going on!"

Li Changfeng immediately got up and walked in the direction of the city wall.

Although he was not there, the defenders on the city wall, after seeing the attack of the beast tide, reacted as soon as possible according to the plan that Li Changfeng had already customized.

"What about the ballista? Fast! Pull it over and shoot first! ”

"Also, prepare all the oil for me and burn these beasts!"

"What about artillery? Hurry up and load the ammunition, aim for me and then fire, Your Highness said that you are not allowed to waste ammunition, this thing is precious! ”

Deputy Commander Liang Liu shouted loudly, methodically directing the soldiers to act, without the slightest panic on his face.

The same is true of the soldiers, who are not panicked, but are a little eager to try, skillfully operating the artillery to aim at the herd.

"Put!"

With a shout from the defending general, the soldier lit the fuse and looked at the surging beast tide with a cruel smile.

Feng Shi and Ziyang, who were rushing to the direction of the city wall, only to see a flash in the sky for a moment, like a thunderbolt, and even when they heard a loud "boom", their ears hurt, and they only felt that the whole earth trembled.

Feng Shi's face changed drastically, Ziyang was even more unbearable, his face was pale with a huge shock, and he almost fell down.

"The sound is like thunder, what is this?!"

Ziyang subconsciously looked at the sky.

But I saw that the moon was in the sky, the stars were brilliant, and there was a little dark cloud, which was a good sunny day.

So, where did this thunder come from?

Ziyang's heart was full of doubts.

The Feng Shi looked suspicious and looked in the direction of the city wall.

"The thunder came from the city walls, it was ......"

Feng Shi had an amazing idea in his heart, but then he shook his head again and rejected the idea.

No way!

It's absolutely impossible!

Thunder is natural, how can people grasp it?

But in any case, you have to go to the city walls to find out.

"Come with me to the city walls!"

Dropping a sentence, Feng Shi's body was like electricity, and he shot away in the direction of the city wall, and Ziyang followed with a frown.

The other side.

Emperor Qianwu, Li Jianye and Gao Dali, in the emperor's suite of the Peace Hotel, listened to the story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" told by Mr. Storyteller.

The Three Kingdoms competed for hegemony in the world, the generals crisscrossed the battlefield, and the wise men strategized to win thousands of miles away.

In particular, Emperor Qianwu listened very carefully, and many of his strategies for marching and fighting made him often amazed.

Although it was a story, it gave him a lot of inspiration.

Suddenly, the alarm sounded, interrupting the storyteller, who was already dry-mouthed, and exclaimed, "The beast tide is coming!" ”

"It's another beast tide!"

Emperor Qianwu was shocked, how long has it been, and it has been less than half a month since the full battle, and Baishi City has actually encountered a beast tide for the second time, which is incredible.

Moreover, the appearance of the beast tide is regular, how can it appear twice a month?

"Let's go, let's see!"

After saying that, he got up and walked outside.

Li Jianye had heard the tragedy of the beast tide attacking the city, it was really a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and his face became extremely solemn for a while.

"Father...... Father, can White Rock City withstand the tide of beasts? Don't go, find a safe place to hide! ”

Under extreme worry, Li Jianye almost shouted the word "father" in front of the storyteller.

If there was any accident in Emperor Qianwu, the entire Great Qianhuang Dynasty would inevitably fall apart, and the world, which had finally settled down, would be in chaos again.

However, Emperor Qianwu was extremely calm, and even chuckled, and said lightly: "I don't have to worry, this is Baishi City, come with me to see it for a long time." ”

Even Gao Dali was indifferent, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, just the beast tide, His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes will definitely be able to easily repel it." ”

The two of them had seen the power of the cannon on the spot, and the bones of the evil beast were lost when the cannon fell, and the power was shocking, so they were not worried at all.

When Li Jianye heard what the two said, his heart was full of doubts, and he followed suit.

Long insight?

Mere beast tide?

What are the secrets of White Rock City?

Could it be that there are elite generals or peerless powerhouses hidden?

Even so, in the face of the beast tide, I'm afraid it will be difficult to beat, right?

Just when Li Jianye was puzzled.

Suddenlyβ€”

Bang!

There was a loud bang, like thunder, and the whole earth shook, Li Jianye was startled, and exclaimed: "What a big thunder, if it rains, the beast tide will be even more difficult to resist!" ”

Emperor Qianwu's footsteps paused slightly, his expression was a little gloomy, and he scolded in a low voice: "What are you doing, what kind of system is it?" If you don't see something, who told you that this is thunder? ”

Li Jianye was puzzled: "Such a loud sound, what can it be if it is not thunder?" ”

Emperor Qianwu didn't bother to explain, Gao Dali whispered in Li Jianye's ear: "It's not thunder, Your Highness will follow me and we will see." ”

Li Jianye was even more puzzled, and asked again and again what it was, but Emperor Qianwu had the intention to let him know a thing or two, and he didn't say it explicitly, so Gao Dali naturally didn't dare to say anything.
