Chapter 108 We’d better talk
A bright red flag is flying on the gates and buildings on all sides of Zhenwu City.
The Qin Dynasty is still dark, and the black flag that is always flying represents all peace.
The red flag together means that it has entered a wartime state, and the entire Zhenwu City has begun to march.
Martial law means that it is extremely strict. If you make any mistakes, you will lose your head, and there is no way to reason.
Zhao Gang, a junior high school student, stood at the entrance of the city gate holding his knife. In fact, there was nothing to guard against.
Because after the red flag was hung, basically no one ran to Zhenwu City.
The people coming and going are all our own people in the army. They are either transferred in under orders or transporting supplies or weapons to the city. They just check the documents and that's it.
There are often wars outside the customs, and Zhao Gang is no stranger to them at all.
Basically every year, everyone takes turns to go out, whether it is to suppress bandits or to have a friction with Bei Yuan on the border. Anyway, the commander-in-chief will not let you get ahead of the year. He didn't do anything, so he had to be dragged out to cause trouble. In the words of the officer above, it is necessary to maintain the vitality of the army and not let the comfortable days destroy people.
Zhao Gang thinks it makes sense.
Even if he doesn't go out to kill people with a knife for more than half a year, he will feel a little tired, don't want to practice martial arts, don't want to fight, and outside the customs, such emotions will kill people.
Every time you go out, people will die, and the blood, corpses and familiar companions will never come back, forcing them to stay vigilant all the time and work hard to hone their skills, because there is no telling , the next person to be killed is himself.
But this time it seemed a little unusual. It was obviously a sign of an all-out war. Zhenwu City hung a red flag. This had not happened for many years.
As the news gradually became clear, Zhao Gang became even more uneasy.
Actually want to go to war with the cavalry general Xiao Changche?
Zhao Gang couldn’t believe his ears.
As a native outside the customs, Zhao Gang admired Xiao Changche very much.
The only thing he can compare with Xiao Changche is his age.
Zhao Gang is one year older than Xiao Changche.
There is no need to mention the others.
Xiao Changche is the role model for all foreign scholars and the god in their hearts.
Even if Zhao Gang became one of Linghuye's five thousand soldiers because of his bravery in battle, this could not cover up Zhao Gang's admiration for Xiao Changche.
Why do you want to fight with Xiao Changche?
I heard that Xiao Cheqi killed Yan Sheng of Aquarius State and annexed Aquarius State.
Zhao Gang didn't know why, but he instinctively felt that the person killed by Xiao Changche must not be a good person.
Thinking about this, Zhao Gang felt a little worried. He really didn't want to fight Xiao Changche's people.
It would be best if Xiao Cheqi and the Generalissimo give in and say a few nice words, maybe they can shake hands and make peace.
However, in the past few days, military mobilizations have become more and more frequent, and there are more and more messengers coming and going. This shows that the military deployment has reached the most tense moment, and the two sides must have no more talks.
I walked a few steps back and forth on the snow, stamping my feet so hard that my feet were numb from the cold.
Suddenly, my eyes blurred. I don’t know when, but an old man suddenly appeared not far away. In the middle of winter, this old man was actually wearing a jacket, with his hands behind his back, looking at Zhenwu City.
"Who are you?" Zhao Gang strode forward and asked sternly.
The old man looked at him and smiled, took a step forward, and then, he was gone.
Zhao Gang exclaimed and rubbed his eyes hard, but there was indeed nothing in front of him.
Hallucination?
No, definitely not.
As a soldier, Zhao Gang quickly calmed himself down. Turning around and running to the top of the city tower, he saw the old man's back in the distance.
A martial artist with advanced cultivation!
His mind recalled what his boss had said to him.
Zhao Gang did not hesitate anymore, rushed to the big bell, held the crossbar that sounded the bell, and rang the warning bell hard.
The bell rang three times, and then the whole city began to respond.
The melodious bells ring throughout the city.
Zhou Zhi walked slowly on the street.
The current Zhenwu City makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
The evil spirit and murderous aura that filled the city actually suppressed him in some way. He frowned slightly. Although this kind of suppression did not seem to be a threat, it was hard to tell if he actually took action. . He also has no experience of facing thousands of troops alone. This is the first time.
In Zhenwu City, the whole city is now full of soldiers.
There was a continuous bang, and the doors on both sides of the street were closed one after another.
Zhou Zhi stopped and looked up ahead.
At the end of the street, an armored warrior holds a huge shield in his hand and walks slowly. Zhenwu City is a military city, and it does not have wide streets like Tai'an City. Everything here is for fighting. So four armored warriors holding shields had already filled the streets. Behind the warriors were more soldiers.
When Zhou Zhi turned around, the same thing happened behind him.
Looking to the left, the same is true, and of course not letting go of the right.
On the cross streets, there are soldiers slowly approaching on the four streets.
Looking up to the roof, along with the melodious sound of the horn, rows of crossbowmen occupied the roof. The crossbows in their hands had already been loaded with crossbow arrows, and they were aimed at Zhou Zhi from a distance.
Zhou Zhi couldn't help but burst into laughter and raised his voice: "Commander Linghu, is this how you receive an old friend's visit?"
The sound didn't seem loud at first, but as it rolled forward, it finally sounded like thunder in the distance, and all the surrounding soldiers' expressions changed in shock.
Zhou Zhi, who was surrounded at the moment, had only a few tens of feet of open space around him. Standing there alone, he was like a small boat in the angry tide.
But it seems that it is not him who is nervous, but the countless soldiers around him.
Everyone looked at Zhou Zhi with all their attention, not daring to slack off at all.
The Lord of Tai'an City, the first innate person outside the pass.
"I wonder if he is an old friend or a bad visitor?" The window of the house closest to Zhou Zhi was pushed open, and Li Guohua's somewhat haggard face appeared in front of Zhou Zhi. "If you don't understand this, how can the commander see you? A son of a rich man can't sit down in the hall, how much more can the commander-in-chief care about the well-being of thousands of living beings outside?"
Zhou Zhi sneered: "Then , does the Secretary-General think these people are enough to stop me?"
"After these people, there will naturally be thousands of warriors!" Li Guohua said calmly: "If ten people can't do it, then a hundred people. If a hundred people can't do it, let's use a thousand people. Even if you are not a god, you will be exhausted."
"Okay, since Ling Huye doesn't dare to see me, that's it. If he wants to start a war, then he will start a war. Let’s see whether his army is more powerful or our Tai’an City is more powerful. But after this battle, it’s hard to say what’s left of the commander!”
Li Guohua laughed: "City Lord Zhou must have thought too highly of himself. With Xiao Changche's three melons and two dates and Li Dachui's so-called three battalions of heaven, earth and men, can they really compete with my 100,000-strong army outside the pass? Doesn't City Lord Zhou really think that these We all have been doing nothing for years?”
"Three melons and two dates?" Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Commander Linghu underestimates me too much. Mr. Zhou has worked hard for twenty years in order to one day become a blockbuster and soar into the sky. How can he only have three melons and two dates?" Zao, if I say that we can’t fight with Marshal Linghu, we will lose. Do you believe it or not?”
Li Guohua stared at Zhou Zhi, trying to see what was happening on his face. A little bit of clues.
It’s a pity that Zhou Zhi’s martial arts cultivation level has reached this point. Let alone the expression on his face, or any hair on his body, Zhou Zhi can put it in any posture he wants. Mode.
"City Lord, wait a moment!" Li Guohua took a deep breath and said.
"Okay, today is different from the past, so I waited a moment and told Linghuye that since I achieved Xiantian, I have never waited for anyone. Only people wait for me, even if he is a commander outside the pass, I will only give him face this time." Zhou Zhidao. "Actually, you have your own sources of information. It won't take two or three days to know whether what I said is true or false. I just came to have a talk with him because of our past friendship, so as not to end up being unable to get off the stage. , but even more embarrassing.”
Li Guohua paused for a moment, then sped off quickly.
After a while, the horn sounded, the soldiers retreated like a tide, the crossbows on the roof and the spearmen in the house disappeared one by one. Li Guohua appeared in front of Zhou Zhi again, bowed slightly and said: " City Lord, please!”
In the past, when Zhou Zhi came over, he would meet with Linghu Ye in the quiet room, but today, it was in the meeting hall.
Linghuye sat high in front of the picture of the tiger descending the mountain, with both hands on the big case, leaning slightly, and glaring at Zhou Zhi like a tiger.
There were only a few people in the hall, Liao Liao, and except for Li Guohua, most of them were named Linghu.
"City Lord Zhou, I always thought that we would have common topics and common enemies, and we could fight side by side at some point in the future. So over the years, I have always been tolerant and cooperative with Tai'an City. What I do is not just Because you are an innate master!" Ling Huye said coldly.
“It seems that the commander-in-chief knows a lot about me!” Zhou Zhi said with a smile.
“When you first came to Guanwai, you were only at the eighth level of Xuanyuan, and I was only in a small school. When you became an innate master, I had already become a partial general, and I had some ability to pay attention to you. Later, I became the number one person outside the customs. With you as a tiger beside me, how could I Why don't I check you carefully! I found out a lot of things."
At this point, Linghuye sighed: "It's just that I never thought of you. Zhou City Lord’s plan for twenty years is actually similar to mine. If I had known this, I would not have Tai'an City should be allowed to grow to such an extent. I underestimated you and thought of you as an ordinary martial artist, but it was too late to stop you. Think about it, you can become famous all over the world. How could the people who were friends with the Crown Princess He Qingqiu be ordinary people? "Ah! City Lord Zhou, now that you are here, I want to ask you, what is your purpose?"
"Of course it is to avenge her!" Zhou Zhi said coldly: "I want to plot the plan back then." Those people in Qingqiu all laid down the Nine Nether Hells.”
"In that case, why can't we cooperate?"
"Of course not, because I have already chosen someone else!" Zhou Zhi said: "And I am not optimistic that you can succeed!"
< br>"Li Dachui?" Linghuye laughed: "What ability does he have to do what I can't do?"
"He can!" Zhou Zhi said stiffly.
