Chapter 123: Oppression and Resistance
Where there is oppression, there is resistance, this is not just talking, but has become the reality of Wumen Port, the main owner Ling Xiao is still hundreds of miles away from Wumen Port, but Wumen Port itself has become a pot of porridge!
Originally, the four ferries that departed once a day were able to send the few passengers in Wumen Port to where they should go and where they wanted to go, but the non-stop transportation of officers and soldiers for three consecutive days blocked a group of passengers in Wumen Port.
The owner of the only inn in Wumen Harbor, the owner of the Longmen Inn, is both happy and worried about this situation! He is happy that he has been staying in the rooms that have been full in the past few days, and he has made a lot of money, but he is worried that these guests are becoming more and more irritable, and there are some signs that are not very good!
The boss, who was standing at the counter thinking about it, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and after reflexively dodging an oncoming dark shadow, he found that the fight that would occur almost every hour was staged again in this not too big inn.
With the help of officers and soldiers, these outsiders will always compensate in the end, and it's a big deal to secretly send some silver to the chief master, anyway, the wool is out of the sheep, and when the compensation is made, the tables, chairs and benches that are worthless will be reported more, and all the money will be returned!
It's just that every other half a day, a batch of furnishings in the lobby of the inn will be changed, and no one can stand it! The worst thing is that the owner of the wooden furniture shop in Wumen Port, who is always smiling and stealing customers, does not have so much inventory! Besides, you can't let the guests squat and eat!
In the messy lobby, the shopkeeper, the guys, and even the people watching the excitement are very skillful in hiding in the corners, but it's funny, no matter how fierce the two groups of people in the lobby fight, none of them dared to lead the war to the table in the window!
Like the delayed passengers, there sat a handsome and imposing young man at the table at the window!
It can be seen that the table in the window is completely different from the others, not only does it not have the pungent smell of paint that the new furniture of other tables, but it is a little old, and it has obviously not been affected by the turmoil of the fight!
At this time, the fight in the lobby finally decided a winner, one side was covered with blood, and the other side was full of morale!
Whoever told people to turn their brains quickly and hid next to that evil god, no one dared to make trouble around that person, unless they were impatient. But fortunately, as long as you don't provoke that person, that person won't do anything to anyone, just silently sipping tea, as if waiting for someone!
After the winning group saluted the window with a fist, they turned around and left without saying a word; the guy who lost the battle did not dare to say much, and after the same fist salute, he consciously settled the account with the boss and left after compensation!
It's just that after the boss collected the money, he thought with a headache, it seems that he has to go to his relatives' house to see if there are any extra tables, chairs and benches!
As for the boy who tasted tea at the window, he didn't even look at these things that happened, just stared out the window, as if there was some beautiful scenery there, God knows what kind of scenery this bitter cold little port would make this son look at it for three days!
In fact, when the night came, after the magical son left, the boss also tried to sit in that position, posing like the child, wanting to appreciate the so-called master!
It's just that no matter how he looks, he can only see the two black gates of Wumen Port cowering in the cold wind, without the slightest artistic conception! Therefore, the boss can only sigh, cut off his intention to be vassal, and think about the problem of tables, chairs and benches again!
In fact, not only during the day, but also in this cold and howling night, this son just changed places, squatting on the bell and drum tower, the tallest building in Wumen Port, still staring at the two walled gates, it is better to have nothing to do with the Fengya imagined by the boss, he is purely on a mission!
His name is Zhang Yunlan, he is an ordinary fearless Imperial person, but he has several unusual secret identities, one of them is the Imperial Secret Disc Personnel, who came to Wumen Port this time to undertake the secret mission of tracking and collecting Ling Xiao's intelligence;
It sounds like the two secret missions are exactly the same, but in essence they have completely different connotations. The Empire's request was to ensure that Ling Xiao entered Linhai City safely through the port of Wumen, and to help him if necessary.
The Sword of Freedom, on the other hand, believes that all actions of the Empire must be destroyed, and the requirement given to him is that Ling Xiao must not be allowed to enter Linhai City, and if necessary, he must clear it!
Zhang Yunlan was extremely confused by these two orders, he didn't understand, since Ling Xiao was condemned as a blasphemer and stole the things of the spear god, why would the empire help him go to Linhai City.
What he didn't understand even more was why the Sword of Freedom would give up the strategy it had always insisted on, and use his secret chess, which had only managed to climb to an important position in the empire, to prevent Ling Xiao from entering Linhai City at the expense of revealing his identity!
But if you don't understand, you don't understand, the order still has to be executed, no matter what happens in the future, it will not be wrong to keep an eye on Ling Xiao first!
If the news is correct, that Ling Xiao, who is about to make himself insane, should be about to arrive at this Wumen Port!
Zhang Yunlan is destined to be disappointed, because although Wumen Port is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on one side, although Wumen Port seems to have only the only entrance of Zhaimen, how could Ling Xiao honestly come in from Zhaimen at this time!
Ling Xiao is not stupid, since he has been constantly intercepted, he has found that things are becoming more and more confusing, it is said that coming to Wumen Port and sneaking into Linhai City is nothing more than the result of his own inspiration, but it is extremely unreasonable to encounter so many interceptions along the way!
After all, there are sea fishing documents, and if the officers and men discover their whereabouts, they will definitely not be able to explain afterwards if they do not pretend to intercept them!
However, the endless stream of secular martial artists and masters from all walks of life made Ling Xiao cautious, and it was obvious that his whereabouts were now not known to everyone, but they were no longer hidden!
How did these people know their whereabouts, Ling Xiao only had two answers after thinking about it, one was that under the heavy reward, there were thousands of martial artists who wanted to catch their own merits, so much so that they would encounter hundreds of opportunists wherever they went.
The second is that his whereabouts were deliberately announced for unknown reasons!
In thinking, the first one was denied by Ling Xiao, because a warrior is not a cabbage, and no matter how strong the folk customs of the fearless empire are, they will not cultivate so many masters, let alone be coincidentally touched by themselves one by one!
Then if other reasons are ruled out, no matter how unreasonable the reason sounds, it will be the truth of the matter! His whereabouts have been deliberately leaked!
In that case, it leads to the second question, how was his whereabouts determined?
In the same way, excluding other factors, there is only one possibility, I was led here by someone, and it was the six-person team and the woodcutter Lao Liu Tou who deceived me to come here!
Getting such a conclusion, Ling Xiao felt a chill, if nothing else, just by executing such a deception operation, it would never be possible to find such seven people casually, the other party must have dispatched countless similar combinations, completely covering the direction of his escape!
And the ability to launch such a huge operation, within the Dreadnought Empire, there is only one force, and that is the official! Since the official is acting, then waiting for him in Linhai City must be a trap!
Even the terrifying God of War will definitely be waiting for him in Linhai City! The God of War that the God of War has always coveted is on his body, and the God of Gun will never allow anyone to know this secret!
But this kind of action, when he walked on the road to Wumen Port, he had already become a conspiracy, no matter where he broke through, he would eventually be forced into Linhai City!
Ling Xiao didn't act rashly, he knew that the real force to intercept him would inevitably be in Linhai City and its surroundings, and the road to Wumen Port was the safest, no matter how many people intercepted, there would be no real masters, at most, he would just accompany himself to practice the slow shooting technique!
And Wumen Port is the best place to escape for yourself, not only is it surrounded by mountains on three sides, it has an excellent depth of escape, and the most important thing is that Wumen Port faces the water, and there is the possibility of escaping along the water.
This era is not like the previous life with speedboats, submarines and other underwater fast vehicles, those old wooden boats will definitely not be able to catch up with a previous life, in order to pursue the female members of the national swimming team and train hard in the water!
Coupled with a series of underwater tools that Ling Xiao deliberately took out of time to make in order to escape for his life, he was confident that he could get rid of the pursuing master in the water!
However, no matter how high the cultivation level is, when they reach the water, their strength will immediately drop by almost 30%! Round-ups and snipers are no longer so easy to organize and implement!
Having said that, Ling Xiao did not dare to take it lightly, not only desperately rushed to Wumen Port in advance, but also deliberately took a detour and sneaked into Wumen Port along the back of the mountain.
Speaking of the target, Ling Xiao licked his lips that looked a little chapped because of the hurry, and stared at the figure on the Bell and Drum Tower, the tallest building in Wumen Port!
Zhang Yunlan, who was monitoring the Zhaimen, always felt that something was wrong, it was said that in this Wumen Port, he had performed a lot of tasks, but why did he always feel so strange today!
The mountains are still the same three mountains, the water is still the same big river, the scattered buildings, and the dim lights are all unusual! Even the members of the Sword of Freedom used to make a secret passage into Wumen Harbor can see it clearly when they stand on the bell and drum tower!
No, Zhang Yunlan finally understood where his negligence was, the Sword of Freedom still knew how to use a secret passage to enter and exit Wumen Port, and the wanted Ling Xiao had no reason to enter from the Zhaimen in a bright way!
It's not good, it is very likely that Ling Xiao has already entered this Wumen Port somewhere, and the anxious Zhang Yunlan immediately turned around, wanting to see what was abnormal in Wumen Port, but at the moment of turning around, cold sweat broke out!
Because before he could do anything, the first thing that caught his sight was a little cold light rushing towards him!
