The huge cavalry of Hua's Escort Agency entered the Demon-Breaking City from the south gate.
Flags are flying and morale is high.
Hundreds of escorts in uniform military uniforms strode with their heads held high, escorting carriages through the city gate.
More than thirty large trucks!
They were all loaded carriages, each pulled by two horses, and each carriage was guarded by about three bodyguards.
The escorts breathed a sigh of relief: all the experts from Hua's Escort Agency were out there, giving it their all, and even the Heqimen wouldn't dare to act rashly!
After entering the Demon-Breaking City, this escort mission was basically 90% completed.
All that’s left is to rush to the Governor’s Mansion to take over.
The escorts breathed a sigh of relief, but Hua Qian, who was riding on the horse, began to get nervous.
Will Shenwei Escort Agency give up this opportunity?
impossible.
The resentment between the two sides was too deep, and each wanted to completely destroy the other side through the annual tax escort.
Especially since the Shenwei Escort Agency has the Aikido behind it, its overall strength is higher than that of the Hua’s Escort Agency.
An ordinary escort leader would certainly think: While our Hua Escort Agency is escorting taxes from Shushen County, the Shenwei Escort Agency is also escorting taxes from Yanyu County.
We will do our best to protect them, and they will certainly do their best to protect them as well.
Everyone's manpower is limited, and it really seems like a situation where they don't interfere with each other.
The simple analysis is this.
But never think that way when it comes to spending money.
Hua Duxiu, who was sitting in the carriage and leisurely reading a comic book, didn't think so.
Aikido, it will definitely come!
Demon-Breaking City is the most important city in Trapped Demon Valley. It is the capital and where the Governor sits.
The flow of people is extremely dense.
The cavalry of the Hua's Escort Agency stretched for nearly half a mile, and even though the escorts shouted to stop them, there were still many people on the street watching the excitement.
In a restaurant nearby, a man was drinking by himself in a private room by the window.
Old acquaintance, Song Qiang.
Sitting opposite Song Qiang was a middle-aged man with a serious expression.
Song Qiang watched the huge escort team on the street slowly advancing among the onlookers, and gritted his teeth and said , " Master Wang, thank you for your help!"
The man with a serious expression said , " It's okay. I will do my best to do what Lord Shangguan has asked me to do."
After Master Wang finished speaking, he immediately closed his eyes.
A vast amount of true energy extended out from under his feet and quietly reached the cavalry on the street!
Song Qiang said inwardly: It’s begun, the most magnificent show!
Hua Duxiu, just wait to cry!
The two tall figures on the top floor of the South City Watchtower.
One person's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he whispered , " As expected, he is here."
Another person narrowed his eyes and asked , " Oh? Governor, have you noticed?"
"Master Wu, the Heqi Sect has invited a master magician this time. No, it's not the Heqi Sect, it's those old foxes hiding in the dark..."
It turns out that one of these two people is the governor of Trapped Demon Valley - Peng Tianlin.
The other is the Lord of the Demonic Flow Palace—Wu Haotian.
Wu Haotian asked , " Governor, taxation is a big issue, aren't you going to arrange for someone to take action?"
Peng Tianlin shook his head , " 'If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.' The Hua family's child wants to borrow my power, so he must first prove his strength."
Wu Haotian said with a smile , " Hua Duxiu? Ha, Governor, you'd better watch carefully."
Peng Tianlin was stunned , " Oh?"
Near the South City Gate, more and more people came to watch the excitement. The whole street was crowded with people. Even the windows of the three-story buildings on both sides of the road were all opened, and countless people rushed to watch.
Even in the Demon-Breaking City, such a large convoy is rare.
Hua Qian thought to himself , " You're not coming yet? You're not coming yet? Mr. Song, how exactly are you going to do this?"
Suddenly, a special kind of true energy surged, and a carriage in front shook slightly, and the treasure chest filled with gold and silver in the carriage suddenly exploded violently!
“Bang…!”
With a loud bang, the wooden treasure chest exploded into pieces, and the silver ingots in the box shot into the sky like a fountain, and then turned into silver rain falling from the sky!
Before anyone could react, the second carriage appeared, then the third, and then the fourth!
Violent explosions occurred one after another!
Silver rain all over the sky!
A treasure chest contains more than three hundred silver ingots, each weighing twenty taels.
Several treasure chests exploded one after another, and thousands of silver ingots spilled out.
Thousands of huge, glittering silver ingots!
It is so dazzling in the sunlight!
quiet.
This unprecedented and bizarre scene had never been seen before, not only by the onlookers, but also by the bodyguards guarding the carriage.
At that moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Ouch, my head!"
Someone shouted, and the people finally reacted and quickly covered their heads to hide!
A silver ingot weighing twenty taels is so heavy!
It hits my head, it hurts!
Hua Qian was shocked and immediately shouted , " There is a magician attacking! Quickly suppress the Wuji Zhenqi!"
Qian Hua jumped off the horse and stepped heavily on the fifth carriage!
“Bang…!”
With a dull thud, the Wuji true Qi that was about to be released from the carriage was shattered by Qian Hua's internal force!
The fifth carriage is saved!
As Hua Qian set off, several of the top escort leaders of the Hua Escort Agency all flew onto the carriage and relied on their inner strength to suppress the Wuji Qi that was invading the carriage.
Unfortunately, there are too few masters with such internal strength!
The carriages in front did not explode, but the treasure chest filled with silver ingots in the carriage at the back suddenly exploded!
The escort team was attacked, silver ingots were scattered everywhere, and the escorts immediately drew their swords.
The onlookers retreated in panic.
Of course, some people secretly picked up silver ingots on the ground as they retreated.
This is the silver that is being escorted to the Governor. In front of him is the escort with his sword drawn and a ferocious look. Even if the silver ingots fly in front of him, who would dare to pick them up in a high-profile manner?
But……
It's a bastard not to pick up money when you have it. What's more, the silver ingots are scattered everywhere, and I have a bump on my head. It's not too much to pick up one to make up for it, right?
I don't dare to rob it openly, can I pick it up secretly?
Several more carriages exploded behind the cavalry, and silver ingots flew everywhere.
The people's eyes gradually changed.
Their awe of the government and their desire for the silver ingots all over the ground are rapidly reversing their strength!
Just a little bit more, the critical point is coming soon!
Song Qiang in the restaurant box had a ferocious look on his face. He threw a stone from the window without leaving a trace.
The stone flashed away, but was noticed by the people lying in ambush on the street.
Step 2! The time has come!
Song Qiang thought to himself: Lord Shangguan is full of tricks, and the military expenditure has been in trouble right under the nose of the Governor's Office, which is equivalent to slapping your face in front of countless people!
Moreover, it was the common people who looted the military funds, not robbers or bandits who you can't catch!
Do we have to arrest all the people on the street?
The law does not hold everyone responsible, do you understand?
These common people, ha! They are fence-sitters who follow the wind!
With just a little instigation, he immediately lost his mind and even dared to rob the military funds of the Governor's Office!
If he had not incited the people and wanted to attack the Hua family escort team, the manpower required would have been extremely high if he had relied on his own people.
After all, Hua's elite troops are all out.
Although Heqimen is strong, its main force is still used to protect the tax revenue of Yanyu County, and it is impossible to mobilize more people.
So, doing it in the city really kills two birds with one stone!
Not only did he kill the Hua family, but he also slapped the governor in the face and was able to extricate himself from the world.
clever!
Hua Qian's face changed slightly, and he stood on the carriage and shouted , " Drive out the idlers, drive out the idlers! Clear the streets!"
Hundreds of escorts immediately pushed the people aside, trying to clear the street that was paved with silver ingots.
But there were too many people watching, it was packed with people!
Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted , " You bastard who doesn't make money is a bastard. God, please have mercy on me and pick up the money!"
"It's God's gift, it's God's gift!"
"Pick up money! If you pick it up, you earn it. This is God's will!"
Shouts were heard one after another, and many bad guys with ulterior motives appeared in the streets at some point.
They took the lead in shouting from all directions, holding the silver ingots they had picked up in their hands, and desperately crowded forward from behind, pushing the people towards the escort team!
"Pick up the money! Pick up the money!"
The people's greedy desires were finally completely ignited, and the balance in their hearts tipped over!
In a very short period of time, the atmosphere among the people on the street changed rapidly.
There were probably no less than tens of thousands of people on the whole street. One person robbing money led ten people, ten people robbing money led a hundred people, and tens of thousands of people robbing money together. The scene was crazy!
Qian Hua angrily said , " Change the sticks, find the thief and beat him up!"
The escorts quickly sheathed their swords and pulled out wooden sticks from the carriage, starting to beat whoever tried to grab the item.
There is no way. Swords and knives have no eyes, and there are many ambitious people among the crowd. If blood is shed and someone dies, things will become serious.
This is Demon-Breaking City, the capital of Trapped Demon Valley, and the governor’s residence.
But the situation is becoming more and more chaotic and will soon be out of control!
We must act decisively!
Qian Hua stood on the roof of the carriage, shouting and giving orders, while hundreds of bodyguards smashed with wooden sticks, trying their best to stop the people.
Among the crowd of people, more and more conspirators slowly gathered and moved closer to where Hua Qian and others were.
On the top floor of the watchtower, the breeze blew, and the two men's beards moved slightly as they looked carefully at the chaotic streets.
Wu Haotian asked , " Governor, you... you won't intervene?"
Peng Tianlin said , " Hua's can afford this amount of money, as long as there are no problems with the cars in the middle."
Wu Haotian nodded.
There were more than twenty large carts in front and behind, which were pulled by horses with some effort. It was obvious that they were carrying extremely heavy cargo.
That’s right, pulling a box full of silver ingots.
The carts in the middle were pulled a little more easily by horses.
If more than 400,000 taels of tax were all in the form of silver ingots, more than 30 carts would definitely not be enough to carry them.
Far from enough.
This means that the cars in the middle are loaded with silver bills!
It’s not a small amount!
Peng Tianlin's judgment was correct. He paid money to wait for a few escort leaders to command the escorts to drive away the people who were scrambling for silver ingots, but no one took a rash step. The masters all surrounded the carriages in the middle.
Nearly half of the more than 400,000 taels of taxes are collected here.
The scene became more and more chaotic, with tens of thousands of people scrambling for money together. It was an absolutely grand scene.
Hua Duxiu was still resting in the carriage and had no intention of taking action.
He is waiting.
"Oh my! The escort has killed someone! The escort has killed someone!"
Someone shouted and a gap suddenly appeared in the crowd. Two men with bloody heads and brains scattered all over the ground were lying on their backs on the ground, dead.
"Damn it! He just picked up a silver ingot, but you dared to kill him in broad daylight?"
"Is there still any law?"
"Is there any justice in the world?"
"Catch these murderous escorts! Take them to the city lord's mansion! Give an explanation to the villagers who were beaten to death!"
“Catch them!”
As the shouts and cries rose one after another, the people who were originally satisfied with the bodyguards' sticks immediately became indignant and agitated!
The escorts were a little panicked. Just now, the people were snatching the silver on the ground. If they beat them up, at least they were on the moral high ground.
But now the people put the silver they picked up into their pockets and are excitedly wanting to capture these bodyguards. Has the situation reversed?
The people's anger was extremely fierce.
Isn’t it just picking up a little money from you?
As for beating someone to death?
Can't I just hit you twice just to show my appreciation?
He beat the brains out. Is there anyone who is so cruel?
A small escort company from Shenquan City, looking down on the people of our capital?
In the crowd, the ambitious people laughed secretly: Hua family, you are going to be finished soon!
The Hua family is finished today, and tomorrow, it will be the Peng family’s turn!
An animal might become aggressive when it sees feathers of a certain color, or become protective of its predators when it hears a certain sound.
This stupid and ridiculous mechanical reaction of animals is also found in humans. When a certain trigger feature appears, they will respond accordingly without thinking.
This happens because the people are manipulated by the imperceptible weapons of influence.
Blindly follow the crowd!
Emotionally unstable masses are easily incited!
Now, they have transformed themselves into righteous men who want to seek justice for the deceased, and they are angrily facing the sticks in the hands of the escorts, wanting to reverse the situation!
Under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, the people rushed to the core position where Hua Qian and others were. Hua Qian sneered in his heart, and suddenly raised his right hand to send a signal!
Spend money and be prepared!
Pay a visit and suddenly, a large number of burly men in uniforms and holding wooden sticks poured out from the inns and restaurants on both sides of the street!The men shouted in unison , " The police are investigating a case. Get down, everyone!"These people were originally diners, theatergoers, and travelers staying in the hotel, but just now, they quietly changed into the uniforms of officials.There are a lot of people, probably as many as three or four hundred.Three or four hundred people rushed out of the shops on both sides, shouting in unison , " The police are investigating a case, everyone get down! The police are investigating a case, everyone get down!"These people beat anyone they see, without any hesitation. As long as you don't hold your head and squat, they will immediately hit you with a stick!Almost one fell swoop.He is so fierce, he doesn't look like an official at all, he's simply a bandit!Our officer
Song Qiangda vomited so much that he almost vomited out his stomach. Master Wang sitting opposite him looked embarrassed.We are all martial artists, why did you vomit?can not drink much?Can’t eat spicy food?Or is it that the situation is changing too fast and you can't bear it psychologically?Why would Aikido arrange for such a waste...Just as Master Wang was rolling his eyes, the door of the box was violently pushed open by someone outside."Song... Shopkeeper Song!"The man who came in was startled and quickly patted Song Qiang on the back. Song Qiang spit out the filth in his mouth and gritted his teeth and said , " How many escaped?"The man said anxiously , " Less than ten people escaped, the rest were all knocked out and captured!"Song Qiang took a few deep breaths and said , " It's bad, we have to rescue our brothers quickly, otherwise something terrible will happen!"He glanced at Master Wang and
Hua Duxiu, Shen Lijia, several escort leaders, and hundreds of elite escorts quickly went south and soon approached a dense forest.Shen Lijia said happily , " Brother-in-law, they haven't arrived yet, that's great!"Hua Duxiu frowned , " Don't be too happy too early, their service has already arrived!"Shen Lijia was startled and looked carefully. Sure enough, several ambush spies in the forest discovered the cavalry of Hua's Escort Agency and were hurriedly retreating.Hua Duxiu said loudly , " Fire the arrow!"The escort leader and others beside him immediately opened their bows and set arrows, and several arrows were shot out. The spies were shot down by several people one after another.But there were still two spies who took advantage of the dense trees to escape the sharp arrows, mounted their horses and rushed out of the woods, heading south.Hua Duxiu narrowed her eyes and looked south along the official road.Others ma
Song Qingzheng kept an eye on it and arranged for the brothers to disperse in all directions and be on guard.As soon as they covered their mouths and rushed out of the yellow smoke, they immediately noticed Shen Feng leading a large group of people rushing towards them.Shen Feng and others hid in the yellow smoke and wanted to come quietly, but the men from Shenwei Escorts dispersed and found them.After all, it's not that easy to hide when three to four hundred people are attacking together."Shopkeeper Song! The enemy is trying to steal the escort!""There are enemies, there are enemies! Ah...!"Without saying a word, Shen Feng killed the man with a single blow and continued to charge towards the carriage on the official road.Song Qingzheng was furious: "Hua, I know you are scheming!"big liar!Want to grab a escort? The carriage has been unharnessed, don't even think about taking any of your carriages away!Son
The speed is extremely fast, beyond the limits of the human body.Once it is performed, it arrives in an instant, and only the wind can be seen, not the person.This is the true meaning of the unique skill “Instant Trace·Wind Remains”.Hua Duxiu had used this trick when he was destroying the Demon City in order to break the enemy's siege and separate the criminals from the civilians, but the Fourth Elder had never seen it.If they had seen Hua Duxiu use this move in the Demon-Breaking City, they would definitely not just trap him without fighting.Instead, they were determined to force Hua Duxiu away as soon as possible, even if it meant mutual losses.Because once Hua Duxiu used this move, the Fourth Elder's eyes really couldn't keep up.Hua Duxiu's sword blew up, and the four elders were horrified!The four people immediately realized that Hua Duxiu's true strength was much more terrifying than what he had shown during the pre
Hua Duxiu led the Hua family's bodyguards to retreat on horseback.Song Yao got up from the ground and brushed off the dust on his body.Damn little thief, his kung fu has reached such a level, it's really scary!Song Yao looked at the little red sword in his hand, then looked at the people from the Black Wind Village who had already escaped into the woods and disappeared, and he heaved a sigh of relief.Song Qingzheng ran back sweating profusely, and said anxiously , " Master, Master!"Song Yao asked angrily , " What's wrong?"Song Qingzheng said , " Brothers only managed to recover one cart of silver. The other cart... the other cart was stolen by the bandits!"Song Yao said , " Okay, count the losses and leave here as soon as possible!""How far is this place from the Demon-Breaking City?"Song Qingzheng said , " More than fifty miles."Song Yao was exhausted . " I understand."Song Qingzheng immediately arr
Wu Haotian frowned and said , " Hua Duxiu, this is the Governor's Mansion, watch your words!"Hua Duxiu said , " Is there anything wrong with my words? I am just stating a fact, without citing any classics or using fancy words. I am very serious."Wu Haotian had known for a long time that Hua Duxiu had this problem. His words easily irritated people, but he didn't take it seriously.Especially since the Governor is here.Of course he had to appear amiable and cultured.Wu Haotian said patiently , " Your words are overstepping your authority."Hua Duxiu was a little anxious , " Master, Governor, I am not joking, I am really anxious this time!"Peng Tianlin said , " Brother, how can we take the lockdown of the city lightly? If we are not careful, someone with ulterior motives may take advantage of us and cause panic among the people of the city."Peng Tianlin’s meaning was very clear: Without sufficient reasons, I would never orde
Hua Duxiu's face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said , " Because they stole my most precious treasure!"Peng Tianlin asked curiously , " You mean, you're worried that they can use this to blackmail you?"Hua Duxiu nodded , " That's right.""Song Yao promised to return the treasure to me in three days. Before he returns it to me, we must not let them know that the silver has been swapped."Peng Tianlin nodded , " Song Yao is very cunning. He intends to return the things to you after making sure everything is safe. If something goes wrong, he will use this to influence you."Hua Duxiu said in a deep voice , " Not bad."Peng Tianlin asked , " How can you be sure that he will return the things to you as promised in three days?"Hua Duxiu said with a gloomy face , " I will never let him delay for more than three days! Never!"Peng Tianlin and Wu Haotian looked at each other with complicated expressions.This kid
