"Ah...... What is it?" the money shopkeeper looked dazed.

"I'll take it myself. Dongzi walked straight into the counter.

"Dongzi. Suddenly, the young officer, who had been chewing slowly, shouted.

"What are you doing?" Dongzi, who was about to bend over, suddenly changed his face.

"The dagger belongs to the shopkeeper, not yours, don't take the wrong thing. Zhao Yuan picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and then slowly put down the wine glass, staring at Dongzi with a pair of deep eyes.

Dongzi's body froze.

At this moment, time and space froze at the same time, and all the diners were stunned. In fact, when Dongzi walked towards the counter, all the diners knew that Dongzi was going to assassinate the young officer with the weapon under the counter.

At the same time, more than a dozen Crusader cavalrymen also put down their dishes and chopsticks, and more than a dozen pairs of cold eyes fell on Dongzi, like sharp bayonets.

"I'm just passing through here, so you don't have to be nervous. Zhao Yuan said lightly.

"Hehe, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, the military master goes to the small shop to drink, the small shop is shining, how can you be nervous, it's rare for the military master to come to the small shop, today, it's all my old money, everyone eats and drinks well, rich money, go quickly, bring up all the delicious food and drink in the kitchen! Dongzi, what are you doing here, go, drink!"

"Just go. ”

Qian Fu responded, trotted all the way into the kitchen, and after a while, he brought out plates of meat and put them on Zhao Yuan's table, extremely attentive.

"Dongzi, come here. Zhao Yuan beckoned to Dongzi, who was standing in a dilemma inside the counter.

Dongzi gritted his teeth, and in the end, instead of bending down to get his weapon, he walked towards Zhao Yuan.

Dongzi is not stupid, there are more than a dozen people on the other side, all of them are heavily armed soldiers, judging from Nasen's cold gaze, all of them are good hands, he alone is not an opponent at all, rash moves, but will affect the ordinary people in the tavern.

Of course, Dongzi also had a fantasy that if he could get close to the young officer, he might have a chance to assassinate him.

Although Dongzi was a very ordinary Great Qin soldier, his years of military career still made him see that this young officer of the crusader was by no means an ordinary person.

"Sit!"

A cosmic hunter got up and gave up a place, and Toko sat down.

"You are a soldier!" Zhao Yuan handed Dongzi a wine glass, just glanced at Dongzi's outstretched hand, and immediately made a judgment, you must know that he has been in Blackwater City for two years, he is too familiar with the characteristics of soldiers, and the thick calluses on the tiger's mouth will never be something that ordinary people can have.

Dongzi didn't say anything, his face was silent.

"Are you a deserter?" Zhao Yuan snorted coldly.

"I'm not!"

Dongzi's emotions suddenly lost control, and he stood up and wanted to pounce on Zhao Yuan, but a cold iron hand pressed on his shoulder, like a mountain, making him unable to move.

"Well, I can see it, you're not. ”

Zhao Yuan's deep eyes stared at Dongzi, and motioned to Wu Tian, Wu Tian let go of his arm, and Dongzi suddenly felt a sense of relief.

"Who are you?" asked Toko suddenly.

"Crusaders. Zhao Yuan said lightly.

"You're not, there are often crusaders here who come to drink, you're not like them, and, moreover...... You saw the dagger and didn't take it away......" Dongzi also seemed to let go of his mind and said loudly.

"Okay, now, I have a few questions for you, and I hope you can answer them truthfully. Zhao Yuan said noncommittally.

"I don't know anything. Toko shook her head.

"How is General Changkong?" Zhao Yuan asked unimpressed by Dongzi's attitude.

He ...... He was seriously injured in the last battle of Jiepai Xiongguan and has not recovered, and everyone in the Great Qin Empire knows the way. Dongzi glanced around, hesitated for a moment, but still answered Zhao Yuan's question, in fact, he didn't think it was a problem, after all, it was not a secret, but everyone knew it.

"What about the four gods?"

"Three are dead, it seems that only the Sledgehammer God is alive. ”

"Three dead!" Zhao Yuan's shock in his heart was incomparable, he knew the role of the four great gods in the Great Qin Empire, the four of them were simply the pillars of the Great Qin Empire, he didn't expect that he had only been away for a year, and three of the four great gods had died.

"Yes. Toko nodded affirmatively.

Guo ...... What about General Guo?" Zhao Yuan tried to keep his composure.

"He was with General Changkong and protected the little emperor. ”

"Where did they go?" Zhao Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard that Guo Axe was still alive.

"I don't know the specific news, I heard that it is retreating in the direction of Blackwater City. Dongzi subconsciously glanced at Wu Laoqi, because this news was what Wu Laoqi had just said.

"Well, and the last question, what is this place?"

"Bafang City, Chenjiagou Town. ‘

"Octagon City ......"

Zhao Yuan sighed, this Bafang City is already the hinterland of the Great Qin Empire, if the Bafang City falls, it means that the hinterland of the entire Great Qin Empire has been completely exposed to the iron hooves of the Crusaders, and there is no longer any natural danger to defend.

No wonder Axe wants to retreat to Blackwater......

Zhao Yuan, who cultivated "Ten Thousand Enemies", was so quick in thinking, and based on the information provided by Dongzi, he immediately came to the conclusion that the axe should have retreated to Blackwater City to hold on.

Among the four gods, only the Sledgehammer God is alive, and the Sledgehammer God happens to be the defender of Blackwater City, so it is reasonable to retreat to Blackwater City.

In addition, Blackwater City has the Black Forest as a natural danger, plus the Thorn Slave clan has surrendered, returned to the Great Qin Empire, has no worries, and sticks to Blackwater City, which is also a good choice, after all, after all, behind Blackwater City, there is also the vast grassland and desert strategic depth of the Thorn Slave clan, which is the so-called offensive and retreating.

Blackwater City is the southern border of the Great Qin Empire, and if the axe protects the Emperor and retreats to Blackwater City, it means that the Great Qin Empire has basically fallen.

Theoretically, Blackwater City is a dangerous place to attack, retreat and defend, but in fact, Blackwater City is a Jedi, and there is not much room for maneuver.

Due to geographical reasons, Blackwater City is mainly to defend against invasions from the direction of the Thorns, rather than attacks from the interior of the Great Qin Empire, and although Blackwater City is dangerous, it is not suitable for stationing large armies.

The most important thing is that once Blackwater City is broken, there is only the defeat of the Thorn Slave Grassland, and the Thorn Slave Prairie and the desert, a horse and a flat river, there is no danger to defend, and when the time comes, Guo Axe with the emperor's family will really be a lost dog......

......

The more Zhao Yuan thought about it, the more anxious he became.

There is no doubt that Blackwater City is a Jedi, and General Changkong retreated to Blackwater City with the Emperor Er, probably with the determination to fight against the water.

From the perspective of strategic thinking, any city in the Great Qin Empire is stronger than Heishui City, because, the emperor is a symbol of a country, as long as the emperor is still in the territory of the Great Qin Empire, then, help will continue to pour in from all directions.

After escaping to Blackwater City, although it can survive for a while, it is not suitable for a comeback, because Blackwater City is thousands of miles away, not only is it sparsely populated, but also the materials are barren, and it is very slim for the sons and daughters of the Great Qin Empire to rush to Blackwater City, which is thousands of miles away.

The most important thing is that after the defeat of Blackwater City, it will create a false impression for the people of the Great Qin Empire, thinking that the emperor has abandoned the Great Qin Empire and fled......

......

The expression on Zhao Yuan's face became more and more grim.

Now, Zhao Yuan only hopes that Guo Axe will only arrive in Blackwater City, if it has been in Blackwater City for a long time, then, the Crusaders should have completed the encirclement, and the longer the time, it means that the pressure on Guo Axe will also be greater.

Zhao Yuan stood up suddenly, and at the same time, a group of cosmic hunters also stood up, their movements were uniform, giving people an inexplicable coldness.

Seeing everyone stand up, the diners in the tavern felt as if they had been hammered in the chest with a hammer.

No one could understand the respect that the meteorite belt hunters had for Zhao Yuan.

For the hunters of the meteorite belt, Zhao Yuan is not only the benefactor of the people of the entire meteorite belt, but also the future of Zhao Yuan is also related to the future of millions of people in the meteorite belt, because the relatives and friends of the hunters all live in Zhao Yuan's Lingtai world.

In fact, the future of the entire meteorite belt is closely related to Zhao Yuan, as the so-called prosperity and loss.

In the eyes of the hunters, Zhao Yuan is a god, an omnipotent god, and his inner worship of Zhao Yuan can be imagined.

"Shopkeeper, check out. Zhao Yuan said lightly.
