Merrich, who was hiding at the bottom of the table, saw Xu Liyan's situation clearly, and rushed out after rolling and crawling towards the corner where Zhao Zhengqi was.
In the process, he shouted aloud:
"Dynamite!
"He tied a ring of dynamite!"
Because Zhao Zhengqi and others were far apart and blocked by a table, they could not see the detailed situation on Xu Liyan's side, so they asked in a hurry and panic:
"What explosives?"
"What's wrong?"
"What the hell happened?"
Frankly speaking, if it wasn't for the fact that the situation seemed to be under control, they would definitely have let the bodyguards open the way without hesitation, rush out of the room, and join up with their own guards.
"'Little Mushroom'! Xu Liyan has a 'Little Mushroom' tied around him!" Merrich quickly shared the situation.
That explosive originated from the "Orange" company, and the model is H404. Because of its great power, it was nicknamed "Little Mushroom".
"Shit!" Francisco, another noble member of the Red River race, couldn't help cursing.
If a circle of "little mushrooms" explodes, it means that no one will be spared in the council hall and the corresponding outside area - abnormal people are not included in this category.
After a brief turmoil, Zhao Zhengqi looked at Odick, Uncle Liu and the "mysterious man" in a burqa and asked loudly:
"what happened
"Also, first, first, remove the explosives."
The conversation made him a little shivering.
"The poor monk is here." The five metal fingers of the mechanical monk Jing Nian, under the control of the chip, slowly released the explosives tied to Xu Liyan's body with the highest precision.
He is a little annoyed now that he has made the mistake of "black under the lights":
Obviously, in order to come to Weed City as a bodyguard, he added some modules that are not usually used. Just now, I deliberately checked whether the nobles and their guards who participated in the meeting were carrying enough explosives. Who knows, but the employer itself is ignored. .
Odick did not try to be brave, turned his attention to Zhao Zhengqi, and explained briefly:
"Not long ago, the 'priest' who was 'anti-intellectualism' attacked City Lord Xu and was blocked.
"But his purpose is not to assassinate, but to close the distance, make eye contact, 'hypnotize' City Lord Xu, and let him make a suicide attack when calling all the nobles to discuss, and take away the top of the entire Weed City."
The latter half of the sentence, he has not been sure until now.
Just to assassinate Xu Liyan, there is no need for "Father" to play so fancy and do a lot of "useless work", his real goal is very big and very difficult.
That is to kill all the great nobles in Weed City!
You must know that Xu Liyan is guarded by the mechanical monk Jing Nian. Any way to quietly "hypnotize" through contact through normal channels may be destroyed by "prediction". Moreover, under the eyes of "eternal people", "hypnosis" His attempts are quite easy to be discovered, and at that time, even if you want to escape, you may not be able to escape.
At the same time, no matter what form Xu Liyan attended, everyone else had to undergo strict inspections, and they could only bring light firepower such as pistols that could be hidden on their bodies.
Under various conditions, it is almost impossible to kill all the nobles in Weed City at once.
There are still adequate security measures.
As for what the purpose of this big goal is, it is not known for the time being.
"Namo Anuttarasamyaksabodhi, so that's what it is..." The mechanical monk Jing Nian whispered the Buddha's name.
He finally figured out the cause and effect and all the details, and found the real source of the premonition of danger—he thought there was a second round of assassination.
"Amazing!" Shang Jianyao did not stingy with his praise.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was holding the "Icemoss" pistol and confronting the guards one by one, he would definitely not let his applause be absent.
Although Jiang Baimian didn't look back, he could imagine the look of admiration on his face.
I admire the "priest" playing so much.
Zhao Zhengqi, Francisco and others barely figured out the truth of the matter, and they were relieved without paying attention to the inexplicable remarks of Odick's little characters.
When such a "senior hunter" came to Weed City, they more or less sent someone to inquire about the corresponding situation, and they were no strangers to Odick.
"Mr. Odick? It's all thanks to you, or we'd all be blown up."
"We'll definitely prepare some thank you gifts when we go back."
"Fuck, I have experienced so many strong winds and waves in my life, and as a result, I almost capsized in the gutter today, and I was a dead ghost, and I don't even know who killed me. Mr. Odick, let's get close and close, and when this matter is over, You must come to my manor as a guest."
"When the order in the city is restored, we will arrest the 'anti-Intellectualist' believers as soon as possible and burn them to death in the central square!"
While they were talking, the mechanical monk Jing Nian had removed the H404 explosive from Xu Liyan's body, along with the black remote control, and grabbed it in his hand.
He originally wanted to transfer these high-risk items to other places and keep them away from the council hall, but after looking at Xu Liyan, he gave up the idea.
A qualified bodyguard should not be more than three meters away from the employer.
"Who took them out?" Jing Nian raised his arms and asked in an electronically synthesized voice.
Weed City is located on the edge of the Monk Wasteland. Everyone present is no stranger to mechanical monks. At this time, they can roughly guess the identity of Jing Nian, but after looking at the string of explosives and the remote control, they all chose to remain silent. .
Obviously, no noble would surrender his identity to do this, and sending bodyguards would weaken the defensive power around them. As for calling the guards in, it was not in line with the rules, and it was easy to trigger an unnecessary chain reaction—letting The other great nobles thought that someone was going to take the opportunity to join forces.
Besides, the ghost knows if there is any other remote control for the pile of explosives. What if the "priest" and his comrades are hiding in the city lord's mansion, and when the time comes, they will press the switch
At that time, whoever is holding explosives will not even have ashes left!
Of course, it is also their consensus to remove dangerous items as soon as possible.
With similar thoughts, they looked at Odyk again, hoping he could get his men to do it.
Before they could speak, Shang Jianyao volunteered:
"I come!"
He was very interested in the large bunch of "little mushrooms".
"Okay!" "Have courage!" All the nobles present unanimously approved, and motioned the guards to put down their weapons and stop confrontation.
Shang Jianyao walked quickly to the mechanical monk Jing Nian, and stretched out his left hand to take the pile of things.
Then, he stretched out his right palm in a forward gesture of shaking hands.
Jing Nian was stunned for a moment, stretched out his right hand made of a metal skeleton, and shook hands with Shang Jianyao.
"Zen master, I will listen to you a song later, you will definitely like it." Shang Jianyao said enthusiastically.
If it weren't for the seriousness of the situation, Jiang Baimian really wanted to raise his hand to cover his face.
The mechanical monk Jing Nian didn't know how to answer for a while, but fortunately, Zhao Zhengqi helped him clear the siege:
"Now the city lord can be woken up, and some details are only clear to him."
Odick had no objection and nodded to Jing Nian.
The mechanical monk Jing Nian immediately grabbed Xu Liyan's shoulder and shook it.
Shang Jianyao was watching with great interest, but because he was holding dangerous objects, he was unanimously asked to go out quickly.
He had to move his footsteps, leaning towards the door inch by inch.
Two or three seconds later, Xu Liyan woke up.
He was confused for a while, then hurriedly lowered his head and looked at his waist.
"City Lord Xu, you were hypnotized by the 'priest'." Odick reminded.
Xu Liyan's expression changed again and again, and he leaned back on the back of the chair like he was relieved:
"I remember...
"While I was cleaning, 'Blow them up' 'Blow them up' sounded in my head, and then I found a bunch of explosives from the secret arsenal in the room..."
After a failed attempt and being told the truth, his "hypnotic" effect was lifted.
"City lord, it's not that I rely on the old to sell the old. In the future, I still have to be cautious and don't always go to the Hunter Guild." After listening to Zhao Zhengqi, he taught a lesson in innuendo.
Xu Liyan cheered up, ignored the issue, looked at the guard outside the door, and said murderously:
"Tell Sun Xuefeng that as soon as the team is organized, they will immediately counter-charge, and strive to push those wild wanderers out of the city within an hour."
Seeing that the alarm has been lifted, Merrich and the others relaxed and walked back to the long table to express their opinions:
"Yeah, those damn beasts, I don't know how many things have been damaged, I just hope they didn't waste the materials too badly."
"Our food is all grown by ourselves, so why should we cheapen them? Giving some of them the opportunity to be slaves is a kindness to the sky."
"Can't they just stay out of the city honestly and quietly, waiting for the other slave catchers from the 'First City' to come over?"
"Who told them to starve to death if they didn't stock up on their own food?"
"I don't think we can just push them out of the city without giving them a cruel lesson. They will dare in the future!"
"It's also a hassle to keep it. It's better to find a way to solve it without wasting bullets."
While talking, Zhao Zhengqi and others pointed the finger at Xu Liyan's previous aftermath strategy:
"City lord, you can't be kind to women."
"Even if you want relief, you can't give it in vain. Don't those citizens still have real estate, shops, and furniture? Can you use it for food..."
"With so many people dead, there shouldn't be a shortage of food, right?"
"They have to be urged to bury people as soon as possible. If there is a plague, it will be troublesome."
"This will save you for a while, but it won't save you a winter. You still have to consider a more appropriate way. Or, City Lord, will you come forward and loan a batch of food and materials to the 'First City'?"
"It's a big deal to recruit new citizens, and some people will come."
"In this world, food is worth more than people..."
"Everyone, everyone, peace is precious, and peace is precious."
Various sounds entered his ears, causing Xu Liyan's head to buzz a little again.
boom!
Just then, another shot rang out.
The shattered crystal chandelier fell directly and banged on the long table.
Merrich, who spoke slowly and acted slowly, slid to the bottom of the table again, and the fat Zhao Zhengqi got out of his seat like a cat and jumped to a sheltered corner. This time, he was in such a hurry that he didn't even bother to pull his eldest son up.
When the group of nobles dispersed again, Odick hid at the head of the long table, and looked at the door with the mechanical monk Jing Nian.
Shang Jianyao stood there, holding the string of "little mushrooms" in one hand, the black remote control panel, and the "ice moss" in the other, aiming at the long table.
When he found a line of eyes projected over, he asked with a smile and sunshine:
"If I press this button, will this string of bombs explode with a bang?"
Hearing this question, especially the accented "bang", including Xu Liyan, the heartbeats of all the nobles stopped for a beat.
Odick blurted out:
"Are you crazy?"
Shang Jianyao looked at him with a smile and responded:
"You just know?"
Jiang Baimian next to him sighed helplessly, turned around, raised his pistol, and helped him hold his back.
