After one shot, Qianye did not attack again, but the caravan did not move forward either. This caravan was originally set up as a bait to lure Qianye out, but Qianye shot and killed the deputy commander Du Yufeng from nearly a thousand meters away. Now that the ambush has been broken, there is no need to continue.
The caravan immediately turned around and hurried back to Tingchao City. The accompanying city guards and mercenaries did not send anyone to search and hunt Qianye, and even withdrew the outposts, and galloped all the way back to Tingchao City.
The command of the city guards knew very well that this shot must consume a lot of energy, and Qianye might not be benevolent, but just fighting back. It was too late to escape, and once Qianye recovered, no one would even think about leaving.
As the convoy left, Qianyefang slowly opened his eyes and nodded secretly. He also felt that the other party's command was very sophisticated, and he basically didn't give him a chance. As for the strong man at level 16, on the one hand, he was hiding, and on the other hand, he was showing off. Sitting in the armored vehicle, he didn't hold back his breath at all. Maybe others can't see it, but in Qianye's real vision, what he does is like a torch in the dark night, shining brightly into the eyes, and can be seen no matter how far away.
After cultivating for a while, Qianye turned around and left after the original force recovered, disappearing into the vast wilderness.
Listening to Chaocheng at this moment, the atmosphere is tense and solemn, and the atmosphere has dropped to freezing point. There were even very few pedestrians on the street, and most of them came and went in a hurry, with worried expressions on their faces.
The news of Du Yufeng's death could not be concealed, and it spread throughout the city in a blink of an eye, immediately dispelling all the lucky businesses. They originally wanted to mobilize heavy soldiers to escort the caravan out of the city, but even Du Yufeng was shot and killed. The strongest they could find was only at this level, so what's the use
As the deputy commander of the city guards, Du Yufeng is a strong man of level 16, and his secret arts and martial arts are not weak. According to the senior generals in Chaocheng, Luo Bingfeng will bestow one or more exercises suitable for them, so their strength is generally stronger than those of the same level outside. But Du Yufeng's cultivation method faintly restrained Zhu Meng, so he always wanted to recruit Zhu Meng's army.
After such a big event happened, I heard that all the high-ranking generals and main figures in Chaocheng gathered in the City Lord's Mansion to discuss countermeasures.
It is said that the city lord's mansion in Chaocheng is more a place for discussion, and Luo Bingfeng has not lived here for many years.
In the meeting hall, there are more than ten people sitting at the table at this moment, and another twenty people are sitting in the back, who are also qualified to hear the secrets.
There are two chairs at the head of the long table, both of which are empty at the moment. One of them is naturally the seat of City Lord Luo Bingfeng, while the other belongs to that mysterious woman. Since she appeared, until now, no one knows her background, not even her name.
In addition to the main seat, sitting at the head is a middle-aged man with a white face and beardless, slightly rich, with a hint of authority, his eyes are long and narrow, and his eyes are half-opened and half-closed, as if he is not awake. But occasionally, when you open your eyes a little wider, there seems to be lightning flashing in the room.
This person is Du Yuan, the commander of Tingchao City Guards. However, he, the great commander, basically doesn't care about military affairs on weekdays. He spends more than half a year in retreat to practice, and only sees him occasionally showing up every ten days and a half months. Therefore, the actual power of the city guards is basically in the hands of the three deputy commanders and Zhu Meng.
However, even though Du Yuan seldom showed his face and never took power, he was recognized as the number one master of the city guards, and in Tingchao City, he was only under the city lord. So now that Du Yuan was present, all the generals of the city guards who were usually rebellious sat upright and put away their slippery attitudes.
Opposite Du Yuan, sitting Rui Xiang. The old man was expressionless, sitting upright without saying a word, occasionally glanced over, but showed a faint disdain.
There are obviously fewer people sitting on Ruixiang's side, but only half of the people on the opposite side. The two sides looked at each other across the table, and their breaths clashed faintly, apparently divided into two camps.
At this time, a strong and capable man in the city guards swept the audience with lightning-like eyes, finally stopped on Zhu Meng, and said coldly: "The man who can kill Yufeng from a thousand meters away must have a top-quality gun in his hand. I heard that In the battle that day, he also sniped and killed General Ma with this trick. Zhu Meng! Such important information, why didn't you tell me when you came back!"
The big man's voice was fierce and murderous. He is also one of the three deputy commanders of the City Guard Army, ranking above Du Yufeng. However, the questioning at this moment seemed fierce, but there was another mystery behind it. After all, Zhu Meng was sitting on Du Yuan's side.
Zhu Meng remained calm and said: "I only saw it from a distance that day, but didn't experience it personally. I really don't know the power of that gun. And I know Brother Ma's ability. He was not powerless that day, but He thought someone would block him, and he was careless, so he was killed."
The strong man frowned, and said: "Someone is blocking? What's going on, you tell me clearly, if there is any concealment, the military law will deal with it!"
Zhu Meng said unhurriedly: "That person shot and killed the old horse that day. It wasn't the old horse that was shot, but Master Rui Xiangrui. It's just that Master Rui dodged too quickly, and the shot hit the old horse. So To say that the one who understands the power of that gun best is Mr. Rui Xiangrui."
All the generals of the city guards had different expressions, and some of the simple-minded ones even showed contempt. According to what Zhu Meng said, this Rui Xiang was clearly timid in front of the battle, and he didn't even dare to take a long-range sniper, which resulted in the death of his colleagues behind him.
A murderous intent flashed across the old man's face, he stroked his beard and said slowly: "The shooting happened suddenly, and the old man was not aware of it beforehand, so he avoided it. As for the power, the old man has not personally touched it, so it is hard to judge."
A city guard general and General Ma have always been on good terms, and he said angrily: "This shot can kill the old horse at a distance of a thousand meters, so why is it difficult to judge? If you said this earlier, Commander Du would not As for being so careless, I will kill that person!"
Rui Xiang sneered, and said: "Killing a mere general, is it powerful? From the old man's point of view, there is no need to publicize this kind of thing, let alone tell you specifically."
The general's face was flushed with anger, and his eyes were wide open. The old man's words were like saying that he had no right to ask for anything. The fact is indeed the same, a general of the City Guard Army is naturally far inferior to Rui Xiang in terms of status. But it was unbearable to say this in person.
The eyes of many generals fell on Du Yuan. Of all the people present, only Du Yuan was able to hold down Rui Xiang in terms of his identity and combat power.
Du Yuan opened his eyes slightly, and the hall was suddenly lit up. Rui Xiang's heart shuddered, and he stopped pushing.
Du Yuan didn't look at Rui Xiang, but said to Zhu Meng: "Yu Feng is my cousin, my ineffective uncle died early, leaving such a little flesh and blood behind. I know Yu Feng has always been difficult to deal with you, But in matters of military affairs, I have never sided with him, can you admit that?"
Zhu Meng bowed his head and said: "The commander-in-chief is always fair, and all brothers know this."
Du Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, then let me ask you, why didn't you report that man's strength to your colleagues?"
Zhu Meng said: "The inside story of this matter is complicated. I wanted to ask to see the city lord as soon as I came back, and I reported it in detail. But the city lord is still in retreat and has not seen me. Director Luo Yun wanted to see the city lord, but was stopped. So this Things were delayed for a while, I didn't expect Commander Yufeng to leave the city at this time."
Du Yuan said slowly: "This matter is indeed Yufeng's recklessness, and what you said is also reasonable. Then let me ask you again, what makes you feel that the inside story is complicated, and you have to report to the city lord? Can you talk about it here?"
Zhu Meng hesitated a little, and glanced at Ruixiang. But Ruixiang was expressionless, but there was a chill in his eyes.
Seeing Du Yuan, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows that the city lord has not discussed matters for a long time. Director Luo Yun and I can't see the city lord even if we are free. But I still have a little responsibility. Zhu Meng, you don't have to be shy, just say what you have to say alright."
Zhu Meng stood up abruptly, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, I, Zhu Meng, have something to say about the words of the commander-in-chief. This time I led my troops into battle, and was rushed into the barracks, killing three hundred of my brothers with just one move! Later, it was also this person who killed Lao Ma and Yufeng's leader a thousand meters away. If this person didn't see that we were deliberately given up to die, my brothers and I would not be able to return to Tingchao City."
As soon as this remark came out, many generals were shocked. They all know the elite of Zhu Meng's department. Not to mention these generals, even if Du Yuan tried his best, he couldn't kill the three hundred soldiers in this battalion with one move.
There are unwritten rules in the neutral land, and the strong who have reached this level will generally not embarrass such ordinary fighters unless necessary, let alone massacre them. For example, if Chaocheng changes hands in the future, and the city guards are still these people, wouldn't they be killing their future subordinates
Zhu Meng continued: "This person wants me to tell the city lord and the adults that if his brother is not released, then it is no longer safe for anyone in Chaocheng to leave the city, and he will continue to kill until we release them. If his brother dies, all high-level officials in the city will be hunted down by him in this lifetime."
All the generals shouted angrily: "Arrogant!"
After yelling and yelling, the generals realized that those who yelled were all junior generals. Du Yuan, Rui Xiang, Zhu Meng and the two deputy commanders all had quiet faces and no voice.
Only then did they realize that something was wrong, and the shouting and cursing gradually died down.
Du Yuan frowned and asked, "What else did he say?"
Zhu Meng lowered his voice and said, "He said...don't think that God will be safe."
Du Yuan's eyes suddenly opened, and then slowly closed. As calm as Ruixiang, Changmei also jumped.
After a while, Du Yuanfang said: "This person's name is Qianye, and I heard that he was very famous in the empire in the past. But looking at his past actions, he is quite generous. I don't know why he hates Chaocheng so much when I hear it."
Zhu Meng sneered, glared at Ruixiang, and said: "I don't know why I decided to attack Nanqing City, but the people I caught are gone. This battle was really muddled. Can Master Rui do it now? Shall I wait for a solution?"
This question was so specific that Rui Xiang could no longer avoid it. When he opened his eyes, his eyebrows were full of disdain, and he said coldly: "How does this old man behave, is it your turn to make irresponsible remarks?"
These words were extremely blunt, Zhu Meng's face turned from blue to black, and he almost wanted to explode on the spot. However, a soft force suddenly covered him, making him unable to move. At this time, Du Yuanfang said: "He can't ask, so let me ask, am I qualified?"
Ruixiang narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the generals of the city guards in front of him, sneered, and said, "Are you planning to bully me? But don't forget, even here in Tingchao City, the real master It's not Luo Bingfeng, but Zhang Tianwang! Don't follow the wrong person and miss your future!"
