Chapter 649: Junlin City
Boom!
In the sky above Thunder City, thunder roared loudly, lighting up the night like day.
At night, Thunder City is no longer as quiet as before, but it is a bit more popular.
On the streets, the lights are brightly lit, going from house to house, but no one goes out to sleep.
Even on the streets, you can see people hanging out or gathering together, holding lanterns, whispering and discussing in the streets.
Occasionally, there are people standing on the high platform and making remarks.
"The king's army is just outside Thunder City. In a few moments, it will arrive at Thunder City! This is the king's army! The emperor's army! The capital must have heard the news about the rebellion against the rebels. The rebellion is coming! We should find a way to open the door, destroy the rebels, and welcome the emperor’s army!”
Although the words were impassioned, this man was dressed in luxurious clothes, wearing gold and silver, and The plainly dressed working people below are a stark contrast.
“Fuck you! The rebels saved my whole family’s lives! Who in Thunder City doesn’t know about the corruption of Yudi Mansion! No one knows who they are working for! The entire Thunder City has been distorted for a long time. ! The government is not a government, and the people have been reduced to fish. Isn’t it bad enough that we have been squeezed out over the years? Who is in charge? Is it useful for you to pretend to be blind? In my opinion, this emperor’s teacher must be here to liquidate some bloat. Guy! Let Thunder City return to the Thunder City of the government and the Thunder City of the people!”
"That's right! How about wiping out the rebellion and putting an end to the chaos of the ten major families? The stupid underworld is helping the tyrants! Thunder City can only be entered and exited now. Everyone is in danger. Everyone knows the root cause of the problem! Rather, His Majesty the Emperor, only now Knowing the chaos in Thunder City, I only thought of sending people to rectify it. It was because I was deceived by traitors. But now God has opened my eyes, and His Majesty the Emperor finally sees the situation in the world clearly. Thinking of a remote place like ours, I can only say, The good days of some big shots are over!”
“The sky will shine brightly! Thunder City has been struggling for so many years, is it finally going to have a good time?” The underworld can release my little son who is in prison. He was just playful and ignorant. He helped the rebels a little, but he was arrested and never heard from again! The little old man really can't live in this kind of world. "
Several voices came out one after another, but they were all hidden in the crowd, so it was unclear who dared to say such treasonous words.
“Bold!”
The people on the stage suddenly became anxious and glared at the people below.
"You actually slandered the ten major families, slandered our Lord Qingtian, and called the rebels righteous men? I see that all of you don't want to live anymore! I will go to Yudi Mansion to report to the officials and arrest you all. !”
Many people ridiculed him when he became angry, but more people retreated silently, not daring to cause trouble.
Watch the excitement and explore the situation, but don’t risk your own life.
The situation is still unclear. No one knows why the army outside the city came and who they are coming for. They have a hasty platform. I am afraid that when the reckoning is done afterwards, they will not even write the word "death". Don't even know.
Boom!
There was another thunder, and raindrops fell from the sky.
The people gathered on the street dispersed and trotted home.
Xiong Rudong, who had been prepared for a long time, had already put on a bamboo hat and took his wife and children with him. He did not leave, but stood there waiting.
The wife and son also wore bamboo hats and carried large and small baggage. Once the crowd dispersed, the three of them seemed a little conspicuous.
The child was still young. He looked at the dispersing crowd and then looked at the thunderclouds in the sky. He felt a little scared and couldn't help but get a little closer to his parents.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
Xiong Rudong comforted the child with his thick palms, but there was inevitably a hint of worry in his expression.
The army outside the city is about to arrive. This may be their only chance to leave the city.
Once the army goes to war with Thunder City and surrounds the entire Thunder City, then the road out of the city will be completely blocked.
Although everyone on the street had many guesses, they almost all concluded that the army was heading towards Thunder City and was going to have a direct conflict.
Xiong Rudong is not afraid of the peaceful coexistence between the army and Thunder City. Because of this, he can wait for the army to retreat and return at any time.
He was afraid that the army would conflict with Thunder City.
Whether it is a conflict with the ten major families or a conflict with the rebels.
Such a huge army surrounding the entire city, even if they are trapped and do not attack, is enough to kill most of the people in the city.
If the entire army rushes into the city, under the impact of the huge number, chaos will continue in the city.
He is just a small person who just wants to find a place to live in this troubled world, but he is not willing to gamble his wealth and life on someone else's chessboard.
"Master Xiong?"
When Xiong Rudong thought of this, suddenly, a figure approached their family.
The location he agreed with the rebels was originally an excellent location. The rebels also arranged for people to gather here as a cover-up.
As a result, a heavy rain disrupted the plan, but fortunately, the rebels still sent people to respond.
"It's me, what do you call this gentleman?"
Xiong Rudong saluted respectfully, and his wife and children also followed suit.
"Time is running out, Master Xiong, no need to be polite, come with me quickly."
Xiong Rudong looked back at his wife and children, and nodded firmly.
“Okay!”
Following the person in front of them, they quickly walked through the streets and alleys with their wives and children. Soon, the three of them arrived at the city gate in the east of the city.
Many people gathered at the city gate. Even if it rained heavily, they could not let these people leave. Instead, they continued to shout with the guards at the city gate in the rain.
Being too far away, Xiong Rudong couldn’t hear exactly what they were shouting, but he was very excited. Everyone had their luggage on them, and they were probably among the people who wanted to leave the city.
Xiong Rudong followed the leader and came to a cart piled with straw and corpses.
Xiong Rudong's expression froze for a moment, but he saw the leader chatting with the driver of the cart for a few words, and then told Xiong Rudong's family to get in the car and lie down.
The cart was not that big, but it was crowded together with several corpses. I wonder if my wife and children could bear it.
Looking back at my wife, my wife looked scared, but she was still determined. She walked to the cart with the child, and lay down obediently, soothing the child not to make any sound.
This is what they have agreed upon. They may die if they stay in the city, and they may die if they encounter demons when they go out of the city. However, they still hope to go out of the city first and wait and see what happens.
Thunder City is like an escape route. If the situation in the city is not as bad as they think, they can come back at any time.
But if the situation in the city deteriorates and they are still in the city and have not left the city, they will most likely be trapped and die in the city.
They are just ordinary people. Under the general trend, they will only be crushed into powder. It is better to protect themselves wisely.
Xiong Rudong also followed and lay down in the cart. The driver covered the three people with straw in a hurry, then pushed the cart carrying the dead and the living to the city gate. Quite a bit of strength.
The raindrops wet the straw covering his body. Xiong Rudong closed his eyes and listened nervously to what was going on outside.
"Why can you let this guy go but not us!"
"Yes! Who knows if he will come back after pushing a dead man! If we can't get out, then others will Don’t even think about going out!”
"Stop him! Stop him! If you want to leave the city, leave the city together! Ah... don't fight, don't fight! I'm just saying! Master, have mercy on me!"
"Stop! Stop! Lord, Lord, please spare your life, I don't have it. Do it! I didn’t do it just now!”
The slight confusion made Xiong Rudong a little nervous under the straw pile. With another thunderous sound in the sky, they were pushed away from the city gate by the driver. Go to the official road outside.
Continuing to pretend to be dead for a moment, the cart stopped.
"You guys have already left the city. Please help yourself." Xiong Rudong, his wife and children stood up quickly, patted the straw off their bodies, and thanked the driver with his wife and children.
"There is no need to thank you. If one day, the rebel army needs you, please remember this kindness today."
Xiong Rudong naturally agreed.
He looked up at the sky and found that it was still raining and the sky was covered with dark clouds.
It's just that unlike the thunderclouds in Thunder City, the dark clouds outside the city don't have frequent flashes of thunder, and they just look like ordinary heavy rain.
I don’t know if this downpour was caused by thunderclouds in Thunder City, or if it was simply due to such bad weather.
Xiong Rudong listened carefully to the sound of rain and felt the unspeakable state of mind at this moment.
Suddenly, he felt something and turned around suddenly to look at the familiar Thunder City.
Shaking...
The shaking on the ground stopped.
...
The head of the An family stood on the city wall, overlooking the stunning scenery below.
Beside him were several other members of the ten major families.
At such a grand moment, they have to be there, and they have to be there!
Boom!
Along with the night sky, there was a flash of thunder.
Under the city wall, it was completely dark, with some corners illuminated.
People.
A huge crowd of people.
A disciplined person.
People from the Great Xia Dynasty!
Like endless mountains, as far as the eye can see, they are endless!
Rao is the head of the An family, and at this moment, everyone was sighing.
Tall horses, neatly equipped, sharpening swords... Huohuo!
"It's... so spectacular, General Pan." The head of the An family took a few steps forward, stood on the wall, and said loudly.
Neat formations, square queues, endless troops as far as the eye can see.
As the thunder faded and darkness fell, the entire army seemed to be covered in a dark and cold color, solemn and speechless.
Tap tap tap.
In the army, there was suddenly a burst of neat movement.
The army with no end in sight suddenly separated into two paths, and a path opened.
"Roar!!"
A huge pig head filled with iron nails and bigger than a human was the first to poke out of the front line of the army, followed by a huge pig body filled with various iron pieces. The four limbs and pig's trotters walked out of the army step by step and caught the eyes of everyone in Thunder City.
"Monster...monster?!"
On the city wall, many people were so frightened that they widened their eyes and took a few steps back.
But this move only made the head of the An family, who was standing at the front, feel embarrassed.
It's just a demon mount, what's all the fuss about!
The head of the An family looked at the guy riding on the demon.
The armor made of fine iron could not hide the guy's fat head and body.
Accompanied by the pig-headed general, there were military advisors, deputy generals and others riding tall horses behind him.
The aura exuded by each person alone is astonishing, and when they are gathered together, they have an inexplicable oppressive force.
Coupled with the endless army, it is hard to say whether the ten major families can be wiped out, but there is no pressure to wipe out Thunder City.
"I heard about General Pan's name. When I saw him today, he is really brave!"
The head of the An family said loudly, but the fat general did not look at him seriously, but said coldly.
"What are you...?"
With just one sentence, the expression of the head of the An family froze in place instantly.
How many years has it been since he became the head of the family, and he hasn't received such humiliation?
At this moment, Patriarch An's family was both a little angry and a little curious.
"A mere local family is qualified to talk to me? Call the master of your Yudi Palace! I want to ask how he disciplines the people below!"
Yudi The Lord of the Underworld?
They were all torn apart by our hands on the spot, the bodies were gone, how could they scream?
The head of the An family glanced at the person behind him.
Suddenly, it is the master of Mingtang Hall of Yudi Mansion, who is here now, and he is also the acting master who they have temporarily appointed to manage Yudi Mansion.
It’s just that this Acting Palace Master only belongs to their Thunder City. This thing is not recognized in the official documents of Yudi Palace.
But right now, it’s not a problem to use it as a countermeasure.
Jin Fangzai, who was behind Hou, felt the gaze of Patriarch An, and was suddenly excited. He was about to step forward, but suddenly he heard someone speaking loudly in the darkness to the side.
"General Pan has such a big temper. The Iron Wall Army only rose to power within a hundred years, and yet it was entrusted with important tasks by the Holy Mountain today to come to our remote place to do business. General Pan has a bright future."
That man, Walking to the city wall, he stood side by side with the head of the Bo family. It was… the head of the Song family!
Two heads of the top ten families arrived at the same time!
This weight, this gold content, in the entire Thunder City, it would be an explosive level existence.
I don’t know how many years it has been in Thunder City, but I haven’t seen the family heads appear in front of the stage, let alone two big shots, the holders of the Ten Pillars, appear at once!
It can be said that Thunder City has treated this foreign general with the highest courtesy.
This is just a courtesy that a foreign general may not be able to pay attention to.
But the people inside Thunder City, like Fang Zai, have begun to tremble and dare not speak out.
After all, any family leader, squeezing them to death would be as easy as squeezing an ant to death!
But even such a big shot still treats the army below with such grandeur and courtesy. This shows that the army from the capital is by no means simple!
Hearing another sound on the city wall, even the demon mount under the fat general's crotch spurted airballs from its big nostrils, looking restless and impatient.
The Fat General stretched out his hand to gently soothe a few iron nails on the pig's head before it became dull and stiff again.
Then he looked up, and the fat general's voice became a little colder.
"What are you? Are Nan Ruweng here? If you don't come out, don't blame me for being rude!"
