Monarch of Evernight: 73 self-talk

bsp;After one shot, Qianye did not attack again, but the caravan did not continue moving forward. This caravan was originally a bait designed to lure Qianye out, but Qianye unexpectedly shot and killed the deputy commander Du Yufeng from nearly a thousand meters away. The ambush had been broken, and there was no need to continue.

The caravan immediately turned around and sped back to Tingchao City. The accompanying city guards and mercenaries did not send anyone to search and hunt Qianye. Even the outposts withdrew and galloped back to Tingchao City.

The commander of the city guard knew very well that this shot would consume a huge amount of money. Qianye might not be kind-hearted, but just trying to fight back. It was too late to escape. Once Qianye recovered, no one would be able to leave.

The convoy went away. Qian Yefang slowly opened his eyes and nodded secretly. He also felt that the other party's command was very sophisticated and basically did not give him a chance. As for the strong man of level 16, he was hiding on the one hand and showing off on the other. He didn't hold back his breath at all while sitting in the armored vehicle. Maybe others couldn't see it, but in Qianye's true vision, what he did was like a torch in the dark night, shining brightly and being visible no matter how far away he was.

After practicing for a while, Qianye turned around and left, disappearing into the vast wilderness after the force recovered.

At this moment, Tingchao City was filled with tension and solemnity, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point. There were only a few pedestrians on the street, and most of them were coming and going in a hurry, with worried expressions on their faces.

The news of Du Yufeng's death in battle could not be concealed at all. It spread throughout the city in the blink of an eye, causing all the lucky trading houses to give up their thoughts. They originally thought of mobilizing heavy troops to **** the caravan out of the city, but even Du Yufeng was killed with one shot. The strongest men they could find were only at this level, so what was the use?

As the deputy commander of the City Guards, Du Yufeng is a level 16 expert, and his secret martial arts skills are not weak either. The senior generals in Tingchao City will all be given one or more martial arts suitable for them by Luo Bingfeng, so their strength is generally stronger than those of the same level outside. However, Du Yufeng's cultivation techniques were vaguely able to restrain Zhu Meng, so he always had the idea of ​​recruiting Zhu Meng's troops.

When such a big thing happened, all the high-ranking generals and important figures in Tingchao City gathered at the city lord's mansion to discuss countermeasures.

The City Lord's Mansion in Tingchao City is more of a place for discussion. Luo Bingfeng has not lived here for many years.

In the conference hall, there were more than ten people sitting at the table, and there were more than twenty people sitting in the back, who were also qualified to hear secrets.

There are two chairs at the main seat of the long table, both of which are empty at the moment. One of them is naturally the seat of the city lord Luo Bingfeng, while the other one belongs to the mysterious woman. Since her appearance, until now, no one knows her origins, not even her name.

In addition to the main seat, sitting at the top is a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard. He looks slightly wealthy and has a hint of authority. His eyes are narrow and half-open and half-closed, and he seems not to be awake. But occasionally when I open my eyes wider, there seems to be lightning flashing in the room.

This person is Du Yuan, the commander-in-chief of Chaocheng City Guards. However, as the commander-in-chief, he basically doesn't care about military affairs. He spends most of the year in seclusion and practice. He only appears occasionally every ten days and a half. Therefore, the actual power of the city guard is basically in the hands of the three deputy commanders and Zhu Meng.

However, although Du Yuan rarely shows up and does not hold power, he is recognized as the number one master of the city guards. In the entire Tingchao City, he is only under the city lord. So now that Du Yuan was here, all the normally unruly generals of the city guard were sitting upright and put away their naughty attitudes.

Across from Du Yuan, Ruixiang sat. The old man had an expressionless face, sitting upright and silent. Occasionally his eyes would glance over, but there was a hint of disdain.

There are obviously fewer people sitting on Ruixiang's side, only half of those on the opposite side. The two sides looked at each other across the table, their auras faintly clashing, and they were obviously divided into two camps.

At this time, a capable man in the city guard's eyes swept across the whole place, finally stopping on Zhu Meng, and said coldly: "That man can kill Yu Feng from a thousand meters away, he must have the best firearms in his hands. I heard that he also used this technique to kill General Ma during the battle that day. "Zhu Meng! Why didn't you tell me such important information when you came back?"

This big man's voice was fierce and murderous. He is also one of the three deputy commanders of the city guard, and his ranking is still above Du Yufeng. However, the shouting at this moment seemed fierce, but in fact there was another mystery. 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 and didn't experience it personally. I really don't know how powerful that shot was. And I know Brother Ma's ability. He was not powerless that day. He tried to parry, but he thought someone would stop him, so he was carelessly attacked and died."

The strong man frowned and said: "Is there anyone blocking you? Tell me clearly what is going on. If there is anything concealed, military law will be dealt with!"

Zhu Meng said calmly: "The man who shot that day was not Lao Ma, but Master Rui Xiangrui. It was just that Master Rui avoided it too quickly, and in the end, the shot hit Lao Ma. Horse. So the one who knows the power of that shot best is Master Ruixiangrui."

All the city guard generals had different expressions on their faces, and some of the simple-minded ones showed contempt. According to Zhu Meng, this Ruixiang was clearly timid in the face of battle. He didn't even dare to take long-range sniper fire, and as a result, his colleagues behind him were killed.

A murderous intent flashed across the old man's face, he stroked his beard and said slowly: "That shot happened suddenly, and I didn't notice it in advance, so I avoided it. As for the power, I haven't had personal contact with it, so it's hard to judge. ”

A city guard general who had always been on good terms with General Ma heard this and said angrily: "This shot can kill Old Ma from a thousand meters away, so why is it so difficult to judge? If you had told me about this earlier, Du The commander wouldn’t have been so careless and died from that man’s gun!”

Ruixiang sneered and said: "Killing a mere general does that mean you are powerful? From my perspective, there is no need to publicize such a thing, let alone tell you to know about it."

The general was so angry that his face turned red and his eyes widened. The old man's words were like saying that he was not qualified to ask for anything. This is indeed the case. The status of a general of the City Guards is naturally far different from that of Ruixiang. But saying this to his face was unbearable.

The eyes of many generals fell on Du Yuan. Of all the people present, only Du Yuan could suppress Ruixiang in terms of status and combat power.

Du Yuan opened his eyes slightly, and the hall suddenly lit up. Ruixiang was also frightened and stopped pressing.

Du Yuan did not look at Ruixiang, but said to Zhu Meng: "Yu Feng is my cousin. My useless uncle died early, leaving only this little flesh and blood. I know that Yu Feng has always been at odds with you. Too confrontational, but I have never favored him in major military matters. Can you admit this?"

Zhu Meng lowered 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 don't you report that man's combat power to his 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 report in detail. But the city lord was still in seclusion and did not see me. Manager Luo Yun wanted to ask to see the city lord, but he was also stopped. . So this matter was delayed for a while. Unexpectedly, Commander Yu Feng left the city at this time."

Du Yuan said slowly: "This matter is indeed Yu Feng's recklessness, and what you said makes sense. Then let me ask you again, what makes you feel that the inside story is complicated and you have to repay the city lord? Can you tell me here? ”

Zhu Meng hesitated slightly and glanced at Ruixiang. Ruixiang's face was expressionless, but there was a coldness in his eyes.

Du Yuan was stunned and said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows that the city lord has not discussed matters for a long time. Manager Luo Yun and I have not been able to see the city lord for a long time. However, I still have some responsibility. Zhu Meng, you don't have to worry about it. Just say it.”

Zhu Meng stood up and said loudly: "Okay, with the words of a great commander, what else can I, Zhu Meng, say? This time I led my troops to the battle, and was rushed into the military camp. With just one move, I was killed three times. Brother Bai! This was the same person who killed Lao Ma and Commander Yu Feng from a thousand meters away. If he hadn't seen that we were being abandoned to death, my brothers and I wouldn't have been able to return to Tingchao City."

As soon as these words came out, many generals were shocked. They all knew about the elite troops under Zhu Meng's command. Not to mention these generals, even if Du Yuan tried his best, he couldn't kill the three hundred soldiers of this battalion with one move.

There are unwritten rules in the neutral land. Strong men who have reached this level will generally not embarrass ordinary warriors like these unless necessary, let alone massacre them. For example, once Tingchao City changes hands in the future, the city guards will still be these people. Wouldn't that be killing his future subordinates?

Zhu Meng continued: "This man wants me to give a message to the city lord and all the adults. If his brother is not released, it will no longer be safe for anyone in Tingchao City to leave the city. He will continue to kill him until we release him. If his brother dies, then all the senior officials in the city will be hunted by him."

A group of generals said angrily: "Arrogant!" "I don't know how high the sky is!" "He must be taught a lesson!"

After yelling and scolding, the generals realized that the shouters were all junior generals. Du Yuan, Ruixiang, Zhu Meng and the two deputy commanders all had calm faces and made no sound.

It was only then that they realized something was wrong, and the shouts and curses gradually died down.

Du Yuan frowned and asked, "What else did he say?"

Zhu Meng's voice lowered and he said: "He said don't think that the general will be safe."

Du Yuan's eyes suddenly opened, then slowly closed. He was as calm as Ruixiang, and his long eyebrows 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 judging from his past behavior, he was quite generous. I don't know why he hates me so much in Chaocheng." "To the bone."

Zhu Meng sneered, glared at Ruixiang, and said: "I don't know why I decided to attack Nan Qingcheng, but the people I caught disappeared. This battle was really confusing, Master Rui. Can you clear up our doubts now?"

Ruixiang could no longer avoid this question. He opened his eyes, his brows filled with disdain, and said coldly: "How do I act, and it's your turn to make irresponsible remarks?"

This was said so rudely that Zhu Meng's face turned from green to black, and he almost wanted to explode on the spot. However, a soft and powerful force suddenly covered him, making him unable to move. At this time, Du Yuanfang said: "He can't ask, so let me ask, are you qualified?"

Ruixiang narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the city guard generals in front of him, sneered, and said: "Are you planning to rely on the crowd to suppress me? But don't forget, it is here in Tingchao City that the real The master is not Luo Bingfeng, but Zhang Tianwang! Don’t waste your career by following the wrong person!”
