More than ten counting chips fell into the jade plate, jumping endlessly, like pearls falling on the ground, and finally calmed down. The old man in sackcloth opened his eyes intently, looked at Suanchou, and at the same time made a formula in his hand.
When he saw the situation, his whole body was shaken suddenly, with an expression of extreme panic on his face, he got up and wanted to escape. Just when he bounced off the ground, he groaned and fell down. His face was pale, and a mouthful of blood spewed out, staining the counting sticks in the jade plate scarlet.
After the first mouthful of blood was sprayed, it was like a faucet had been turned on. The blood kept gushing out from the mouth of the old man in sackcloth, and it couldn't stop. He reached out to cover it, but it was completely useless, and his breath quickly declined.
Knowing that he was going to die, the old man in sackcloth struggled to sit up, dipped his fingers in his own blood, and quickly wrote a few large characters on the ground. However, the more he wrote, the more he trembled, and the handwriting was blurred and slanted. Finally, the old man in sackcloth tilted his body and fell down, never moving again.
The waiter outside the door heard the movement and greeted him a few times outside the door. Seeing that there was no movement inside, he hesitated for a while, knocked on the door again, but there was no response, his expression turned a little bad, he hesitated for a moment, boldly pushed open the door, looked through the crack of the door, and immediately screamed out, kicked his butt Sit down. Immediately, he turned over and got up, and ran away in a hurry.
A moment later, a middle-aged man with a majestic face came quickly, and the waiter ran wildly behind him, barely able to keep up.
The middle-aged man opened the door and walked into the quiet room, his face instantly became extremely ugly.
The waiter followed behind, panting heavily: "The little one heard something wrong outside, and it was already like this when he opened the door to look, so he came to report to the adults immediately, without any delay."
The middle-aged man walked up to the old man in sackcloth, stretched out his hand to test his breath, and then touched the back of the ears, the heart, the mouth, etc., his face was so gloomy that it seemed like dripping water. He stood up straight, followed the old man's fingers, and looked at the bloody words on the ground.
"Great things can happen, but it's just like a snake coming out..." The middle-aged man read softly.
The following words are almost bloody, and I can't make out. After watching for a long time, he bitterly said: "When death is imminent, we must write a few words of nonsense!"
If you don't stick to words like this, you can leave some key information.
He ordered the waiter to bring a pen and paper, traced the bloody characters and the random traces behind them on the paper exactly, turned around and left.
The waiter asked behind him: "My lord, what about Mr. Huangfu's body?"
"Buried." The middle-aged man left these two words and left like the wind.
The locomotive crossed the vast wilderness with momentum like a dragon, and went straight to Tingchao City. This specially built heavy-duty locomotive has excellent battery life. The huge car body has enough space to store black crystals, and it drove all the way from Nanqing to Tingchao City.
A caravan at the gate of the city and several travelers are queuing up to enter the city. Although orderly, they cannot conceal the desolation after the war. There are traces of hasty repairs everywhere on the city wall, and the scorched black left by the artillery fire in many places is still vivid.
The roar of the locomotive was too astonishing. From a distance, a billow of smoke and dust could not be seen clearly. The lookout post at the top of the city saw this uninvited visitor who was obviously not a good person, and immediately became nervous, and sent a signal to the same group of defenders below.
The defenders of this section of the city wall moved in response to the sound, and the machine gunner and deputy turned their guns to the direction Qianye was running towards. Qianye turned a blind eye to the obvious adjustment of the muzzle pointing at him, and rushed directly into the range of the machine guns of the defenders, barely reaching the gate of the city, and then braked. The locomotive tires rubbed against the ground violently, making a screeching sound. The huge car body rotated twice, and was pushed by the huge inertia to slide for tens of meters before barely stopping.
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, revealing Qianye's figure. He looked up at the tower, and the guards had different expressions, some were nervous, some were bewildered, and some tremblingly turned their guns in other directions, obviously fearful.
After the hustle and bustle, there was silence.
In the dead silence, a click was suddenly heard, which was the sound of the safety of the machine gun being opened. The man who operated the machine gun was obviously a novice, his face was pale at the moment, and his hands were shaking. The old soldier next to him was shocked, and slapped him over, knocking him several times, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Do you want to kill everyone?"
The recruit looked bewildered, looked around at his colleagues, and was surprised to find that several of them actually moved their guns away from their firing positions.
At this moment, more and more defenders recognized Qianye, and also recognized the person who killed Luo Bingfeng. In fact, the siege of Luo Bingfeng was too high-end after all, these ordinary soldiers could not understand the danger of that battle at all. Qianye's real battle to establish his prestige was actually a series of battles to block the gate of Tingchao City.
Single-person closure of the city, has there ever been such a legend
No matter how tough and brave the Chaocheng defenders are, they are human beings after all, and they are afraid of death, and they don't want to die needlessly. After Luo Bingfeng died in battle, Tingchao City was successively occupied by the Empire and Yongye. After the two battles, the soldiers who were not afraid of death had long been turned into corpses, and the rest were either recruits or veterans.
If it weren't for this, Qianye assumed such a posture of maliciously rushing to the city, and according to the original city guard's elite and bravery, he would have already greeted him with a machine gun.
Seeing that there was no movement in the city, Qianye was also slightly disappointed and shook his head. He had originally planned to fight a few times during this trip, but now that the defenders are so soft, it was unexpected, and his plan fell through.
Qianye didn't get off the locomotive, raised his breath, and said, "I'm listening to City Lord Qianye, open the city gate for me!"
The defenders on the city looked at each other.
I heard that in a big city of Chaocheng's size, the gates are usually double or even triple. Usually only a part of it is opened for people and vehicles to pass. Only when troops are dispatched during wartime or there is an official ceremony, will the city gate be fully opened, which requires the power of the steam tower, which cannot be pushed by a few soldiers.
Now that Qianye sees that the gate will not enter, it is obvious that he wants the gate to be opened. If he is really the lord of a city, this request is more of a symbolic meaning, which means that he has officially settled in, which is not too much to say.
It's just that Qianye's becoming the Lord of Chaochao City has only been announced to the high-level officials in the city. The gatekeepers at the gates know a thing or two, but the soldiers below have no way of knowing. After all, this matter is a bit embarrassing, and the major forces in Chaocheng have not yet figured out how to deal with this appointment, so naturally they will not publicize it.
The soldiers defending the city were at a loss and all looked at the officer. The gatekeeper had just received the news and ran up the stairs. At this moment, he took a deep breath, knowing that there was no way to escape, so he went to the wall and said, "I have seen the Lord City Master!"
Qianye pointed to the position of the machine gun, and said coldly: "Since you know that I am the lord of the city, how dare you point the gun at me? Or, do you no longer take Zhang Buzhou seriously?"
The position of Qianye's city lord was personally appointed by Zhang Buzhou and announced by the people of the Heavenly King's Mansion. Although everyone knows what's going on inside, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is indeed Zhang Tianwang's intention. Qianye insisted that disrespecting himself meant disrespecting Zhang Buzhou, which seemed to be correct.
The gatekeeper couldn't see that Qianye was here to find trouble. While sending people to the city to report urgently, he scolded the soldiers and ordered them to put away their weapons and point their guns at the killer. What is it if he is not courting death
Of course, the gatekeeper also forgot to give the order to the maintenance room. The two small power towers nearby started up, and the steam pipes made a low roar, and the gate of Chaocheng slid along the track to the two sides.
Qianye started the locomotive, drove slowly into the city gate, and said, "Come on, take me to the City Lord's Mansion!"
The gatekeeper immediately appointed several people and ordered them to lead the way. These few are old, weak, sick and disabled, with inconvenient legs and feet, and it will take some time to run to the city lord's mansion. The gatekeeper obviously wanted to delay the time so that the people in the city could prepare.
But how could Qianye give him this chance? The figure flashed for a moment, then appeared next to the gatekeeper, picked him up, and said, "You can go with me!"
The gatekeeper was scared out of his wits, met Qianye's eyes, saw the icy coldness deep in his eyes, and immediately shivered, knowing that there was no way out, he could only follow Qianye down the city.
Ever since Qianye got on the locomotive, the gatekeeper was already a little dizzy, and it was too late for someone to drive over. With the sound of the locomotive starting, he subconsciously sprinted forward to lead the way.
The locomotive roared like thunder on the street, and everyone who passed by looked sideways, and seeing the goalkeeper running wildly in front, everyone was curious about what happened. Some brave ones followed.
After a while, they came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Qianye got off the locomotive and looked at the majestic mansion and the soldiers gathered at the gate.
Numerous tall, burly warriors crowded the gate with ferocious expressions. With their arms folded and their chins raised, they stared at Qianye from the corners of their eyes with a provocative look on their faces.
The gatekeeper has disappeared at this time.
Qianye took off his goggles, jumped off the motorcycle, kicked the motorcycle over with one kick, and walked slowly towards the City Lord's Mansion.
All the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion stood in place, motionless, obviously not intending to give way at all. Qianye glanced at it, but didn't see any guy with the officer's logo inside, and the highest rank was no more than a non-commissioned officer, that is, the fourth or fifth rank of the original force.
These cannon fodder can be destroyed by raising one's hand, but the problem is that destroying it will not help, instead it will appear that Qianye is cruel and bloodthirsty.
No matter if someone is behind the scenes to instigate them, or these people come out to stop the traffic with their arms, Qianye does not intend to let them have the illusion that he can threaten himself accordingly.
He didn't stop on his feet, and walked towards the city lord's mansion, treating the people blocking the way in front of him as nothing. At the same time, he exhaled and made a sound, although the sound was not very loud, it actually covered half of Ting Chaocheng.
"Have Zhang Buzhou's orders been disregarded by you? Could it be that what he said was farting?"
Qianye's words instantly changed everyone's expressions. Although I heard that Chaocheng has changed hands twice, so far, no one has dared to be disrespectful to Zhang Buzhou like this. Qianye's words seem to be defending Zhang Buzhou's order, but they are actually pointing at Zhang Buzhou. The nose is cursing.
The City Lord's Mansion was still silent, but Qianye had already reached the front row of soldiers. Each of these warriors had big arms and round waists, and they were a lot bigger than Qianye. However, as the light in Qianye's eyes turned cold, the gap in momentum between the two sides widened rapidly.
"act recklessly!"
Qianye stepped forward in one step, and bumped into the hundreds of burly men in front of him!
"Stop!" Only then did a loud cry sound from the City Lord's Mansion, it was already too late.
As Qianye's figure moved, the soldiers crowded at the gate suddenly felt a force falling on them out of thin air, everyone felt like a boulder was falling on their backs, and the howling of the sea waves faintly sounded in their ears.
The pressure was too heavy for these ordinary soldiers to resist. Many people's eyes darkened, their throats felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. In a blink of an eye, no one was able to stand still.
Not only that, the gate and gate tower of the City Lord's Mansion could not withstand the heavy pressure of the terrifying domain, and after shaking a few times, they collapsed!
The bricks and rocks rained down on the soldiers who fell on the ground. Many people were injured internally, but this made the situation worse, and they were smashed to pieces.
