Chapter 80: People in the Rivers and Lakes
City of Glory.
It is the largest city in the western part of the Knights' Kingdom, second only to the royal capital "City of Heroes" and the eastern city of "City of Gold".
The Radiant Crusaders have been operating here for many years, holding de facto control of the City of Glory.
The residence of the Chen family in the West Valve, which has been established for less than two years, can occupy a place on the most prosperous central street in the City of Glory.
There is no other reason, just with the gold-lettered signboard of "Daming Palace", it is enough to receive a super-standard courtesy in most parts of the Knights Country.
But recently, the Chen family's station in the City of Glory was closed, and the spies of the Holy Radiance Crusaders could be seen everywhere, looking nervous as if the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.
There are also rumors in the city, the news of Harley's defection to the Chen family has already spread, and there are also bold underground casinos opening, betting on whether the Stark family will really turn against the Chen family.
This situation gave Ma San, who had just arrived, a headache, thinking about how to complete the task assigned by Chen Mu.
Three days later, just when Ma San was at a loss, the Divine Radiance Crusade issued an official announcement announcing that they would expel all the Chen family's personnel in the City of Glory.
The scope of this expulsion order was in effect for most of the territory controlled by the Holy Radiance Crusaders, and almost the entire western region of the Knights Kingdom no longer welcomed the Chen family, at least on the surface.
However, it is frightening that at the "Knights of the Round Table", which represents the supreme power of the Knights, the bill for the nationwide expulsion of the Chen family was not passed.
"It's over, the Stark family is bent on going their own way, is it worth it to fight for face?"
"They can't help it, the Chen family's slap in the face this time is really excessive, you said that he is a family of Western valves, and he came all the way to the backyard of the Stark family and slapped the master's face, who can bear this?"
"Then, then you can't completely tear your face with the royal capital and the Golden City for such a trivial matter, right? In fact, it is tough enough to expel the Chen family on your own territory, so why do you have to insist on expelling the Chen family nationwide?"
"Alas, who said no, unlike our side, the relationship between the royal capital and the Golden City is much closer to the West Valve. ”
"Yes, especially in the Golden City, almost half of their trade with Middle-earth depends on the Chen family for convenience, how can they cut off their own financial routes?
"Shhh, don't you want to live? Forget it, don't talk about it, hurry up and find a way to get out of here, go to the royal capital to avoid the limelight, it would be best if you could go to Middle-earth, I always feel that there is going to be a big chaos in the Western Desert." ”
The aristocrats were talking in private, the citizens had heard a lot of panicked rumors, and even the commoners outside the Green Zone felt the undercurrents surging in the city.
Ma San has been using the generous activity funds given by Chen Mu in the past few days, trying to find ways everywhere in the city, and has also heard a lot of gossip.
It is said that the Shenghui Crusaders have ambushed a large number of men and horses outside the city, and they will kill them all when they leave the city.
It is also said that the reason why the people of the Chen family are still dead and have not left the city is that they are waiting for rescuers to escort them.
In short, there is everything to say, but the final result is officially announced by the Holy Radiance Crusader - all the personnel of the Chen family's station will leave the City of Glory in two days on the airship of the royal capital caravan.
"Airship, then I have to hurry up, otherwise when the Chen family's people enter the airport, it will be even more impossible for me to complete the task. ”
Ma San frowned, took out his money bag and looked at it, and finally decided to gamble.
That night, the Chen family station was quiet, and all the luggage had already been packed, just waiting to enter the airport tomorrow.
Outside the station, the spies of the Holy Radiance Crusader had already begun to act blatantly, almost surrounding the place.
In the middle of the night, a spy yawned and said to his companion, "I'll go pee, you can help me keep an eye on the dots." ”
He staggered to the corner of the wall, looked left and right, and made sure that no one was seeing, and then, under the cover of shadows, quickly took something out of his bosom and threw it into the station.
Syllable!
Before the thing hit the ground, it was whipped aside with a weapon by the highly nervous Chen family guards in the station, and landed on a special cushion.
"You tap, God knows which one sent this secret letter, what if it is broken?"
The captain of the guard scolded under his breath, and asked his men to inspect what had been thrown in.
It was a small black pouch containing a wax-sealed wooden box, and a written note.
"100,000 urgent, quickly hand it over to your top leader!"
The captain of the guard hesitated, but he still didn't dare to slack off, personally took his things, found the person in charge of the station, and explained the situation.
"Well, I see, you go down first. ”
The person in charge was a tall old man, although he was full of white hair, but his waist was straight, and he stood there like a big gun, not angry but mighty.
When the captain of the guard stepped back, the old man picked up the bone spear next to him and picked up the wooden box.
Inside was the black token entrusted to Chen Mu by the big boss.
"This, this is the ancestor's 'killing order'?!"
The old man was taken aback, and when he saw the traces of damage on the back of the token, he immediately understood everything.
"It turned out to be the eldest lady's killing order, but didn't she send two secret letters two days ago?
He let out a long sigh, picked up the killing order, and urged Ou Qi, and suddenly an invisible flame wrapped the token.
This is the "Nanming Vermilion Bird Divine Fire" of the "Daming Palace", which has always been allowed to be practiced only by the Chen family, and it is an inheritance-level martial art at the innate level, divided into two parts: internal and external.
Looking at this old man's skills, he is obviously an innate martial artist!
I saw that the Nanming Vermilion Bird Divine Fire poured into the token, and gradually melted the token, and after a while, it turned out to be a mass of black-red liquid, suspended in the old man's palm.
The liquid kept wriggling, and finally turned into the face of the big boss, much smaller, but vivid, almost like a real person.
It was like this for a while, and then the face actually spoke!
But it is not an ordinary sound, but an invisible sound wave similar to the dense transmission, this sound wave flies from the sky, and uses this face as a medium to convey to the old man's ears.
"Blow up the airship flagship of the royal caravan, if possible, it is best to kill the entire fleet, and it is not allowed to notify the people in the garrison in advance, remember!"
After saying that, the face quickly melted and quickly returned to a liquid mass.
Syllable!
The old man stopped urging Ou Qi, and the Nanming Vermilion Bird Divine Fire disappeared, but the liquid mass burned on its own, turning into a black fire, and after a while, it burned to the point that there was not even a trace of powder left.
"It's too shady, but that's the real rule of the game. The eldest lady has finally grown to this point, I really don't know if it is the opportunity for my Chen family to rise again, or the precursor of the catastrophe. ”
He sighed silently, his heart tangled.
He built this station with one hand and one foot, and it contained his henchmen, as well as his children and nephews, and now he wanted to send them to a dead end with his own hands, which was simply cruel.
Even he himself did not dare to say that he could escape from this accident, and it was very possible to be seriously injured or even die.
But in the end, the old man gritted his teeth, informed the leader of the dead soldiers, and began to formulate a plan of action.
"People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. 」
He remembered these words and was saddened.
