Pawn Crossing the River

The robbers were attacking fiercely with the blessing of black energy, constantly trying to climb the city wall.

Of course, the walls of this small fortress cannot be compared with real city walls. Not to mention the state and prefecture level, even compared to the county level, they are slightly inferior. In addition to the inferior sturdiness, it is mainly reflected in the height, which is only about two feet, so the robbers' siege is not as difficult as they imagined, and the villagers' defense is not as easy as they imagined.

There is obviously a leader among these bandits. He is more gorgeously dressed than other bandits, has simple armor, and is blind in one eye. He wears a black eyepatch. He does not take the lead, but sits at the back and directs coldly.

Neither the robbers nor the villagers noticed the two figures quietly approaching the battlefield through the night.

It’s frustrating to think about it. In the past, you could do things with just your thoughts, but now you have to keep an eye on things and listen to all directions when moving forward.

Soon, a few brave bandits boarded the city and barely managed to gain a foothold. The villagers couldn't get close to them, so naturally they couldn't drive them down.

The entire defense line was torn open, and more bandits would climb onto the city wall from here.

As a result, the fortress is at risk of being lost.

It's almost time.

Zhou Mengyao shook the cloak on his body, and the cloak automatically made a hunting sound, taking Zhou Mengyao slowly into the air.

Qi Xuansu continued to lurk and approached quietly.

He wasn't just watching the show, but it was a second guarantee. If Zhou Mengyao missed, or if Zhou Mengyao failed to scare off the robber with one blow, it would be Qi Xuansu's turn to take action.

When it comes to sneak attacks, Qi Xuansu is professional.

Of course, Zhou Mengyao can't shine now, but she has prepared an orb in advance. It is a semi-immortal object. It is unknown what its original use is. Now its main function is to illuminate and give her a round of five colors. Backlit, extra eye-catching. Of course, this would make him a target, but Zhou Mengyao's cloak could block even fire bullets, so it could naturally block arrows.

When Zhou Mengyao appeared in the sky above the fortress in a very high-profile manner, it was as if a god had descended into the world. It quickly attracted the first person's attention. A person was flying in the sky and shrouded in colorful backlight?

He subconsciously pulls the people around him.

Then, like a chain reaction, more and more people looked up.

Sure enough, I saw a figure hovering in the air, with a colorful backlight behind him.

Soon, both the robbers who were attacking the city and the villagers who were guarding the city were stunned and looked up dreamily. No one dared to continue taking action for fear of offending the immortal in the sky.

This gave Qi Xuansu a chance. Everyone looked at Zhou Mengyao and was shocked by Zhou Mengyao, and no one paid attention to Qi Xuansu. Qi Xuansu scolded these people for not having seen the world. Although Zhou Mengyao was indeed an immortal, it did not mean that he could fly and shine. He also accelerated his stealth speed.

Zhou Mengyao was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, especially when he saw that the bandit leader was also shocked, so he no longer hesitated and chose to take action. Under the cover of the colorful backlight, others could not even see clearly how Zhou Mengyao took action. They only saw the flash of fire and the sound of thunder.

Then the bandit leader fell off his horse, and a small bloody hole appeared between his eyebrows, deep and almost black.

Of course this is not thunder, but the sound of gunfire.

The sound of the gun also woke up the shocked people.

When the bandits saw their leader fell from his horse and died, they were immediately in chaos.

At the same time, Qi Xuansu also lurked nearby, his body rising like thunder.

Before the two robbers could react and were still immersed in the shock of the boss' sudden death, they were stabbed to death by Qi Xuansu and followed in the boss's footsteps.

Only then did the other robbers notice Qi Xuansu who was charging toward him. They drew their swords and surrounded Qi Xuansu.

However, after just one encounter, someone was attacked by Qi Xuansu and his weapon was taken away. Then he saw Qi Xuansu swiping his sword across the necks of the two people, leaving only a thin red line. One point more is heavier, one point less is lighter. Neither serious nor serious, it just ended the lives of two people.

This was a serious blow, and the other robbers were frightened and did not dare to step forward.

A character who was probably the second-in-command shouted loudly and was about to take action, intending to take the lead and boost morale.

How could Qi Xuansu give him this opportunity? He kept walking and rushed forward with a knife.

Suddenly he saw a flash of cold light, as if a cold wind was passing by, and then there was a soft sound, and half of the blade fell to the ground. The handle and the other half of the blade were held in the hands of the person suspected of being the second master. He slowly lowered his head and looked down, and suddenly he felt what was in front of him. The scenery moved for no reason.

Suddenly, the man who was suspected to be the second master slid down from his neck to his side, with half of his body bowed, and blood spurted out from his front and back.

Qi Xuansu had no expression on his face and just waved the blood of "Qingyuan" in his hand.

The other robbers looked at Qi Xuansu again, trembling all over, as if they were sifting through chaff. With a "clang", one person's sword fell to the ground, turned around and ran away, and the others followed suit, throwing away their swords and running away.

There were a few more cold rays, and blood suddenly burst out from the backs of the thieves' hearts. Their corpses jumped forward for more than ten feet before they fell down. After a while, a pool of blood formed underneath them.

There were two other robbers who had already climbed on the back of the horse and were about to ride away. Qi Xuansu directly threw out the long knife in his hand and instantly skewered the two of them.

The leader of a group of bandits all died in Qi Xuansu's hands in the blink of an eye.

The leader died suddenly, and the other leaders were swept away by Qi Xuansu. The bandits who attacked the city naturally had no intention of fighting, collapsed into an army, and began to flee for their lives. Some bandits even jumped directly from the city wall. Although several bandits were shot to death by villagers with bows and arrows, There were still many robbers who fled into the night and disappeared without a trace.

In the blink of an eye, the siege of the fortress was solved.

Zhou Mengyao and Qi Xuansu had no intention of pursuing them, but were preparing to welcome the villagers.

The two have a clear division of labor. Zhou Mengyao wants to be called a god in the world as a prophet, and his main character is a person who does not speak human words and is unpredictable. Therefore, the real operator is Qi Xuansu, who actually interacts with the village's senior officials as a hero who saves the village. And his action of killing the bandits is the most powerful proof that when the world is bad, showing off personal bravery is a very effective method.

As expected by the two, the villagers did not close the door tightly to keep the two out, but took the initiative to open the door.

If it was just Qi Xuansu who showed his personal bravery, there might be repayment of kindness and revenge, but with Zhou Mengyao's "miracle", it would be completely different, because people cannot fight enemies beyond their own knowledge, so ordinary people When mortals see the tip of the iceberg of ancient gods or extraterrestrial demons, they always end up in panic and panic instead of dying tragically in battle.

The elders in the village walked out of the fort amidst the cheers of the villagers and walked towards the two people with a look of awe.

Everything is planned.

This island is not small, almost half a state.

In the deepest part of the island, in the direction of the dark mountain that Qi Xuansu saw in the distance, there was a city on the mountain pass. It was built against the mountain and was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In a sense, this city is a bit similar to a Western castle, and at the same time it also functions as part of the Great Wall. The city wall was built all the way to the ridge. It is a product of war. It can be regarded as a fortress, named "Cang". Cloud Castle".

If Qi Xuansu comes here, he will find that there is a lot of black aura here, which is exactly the same as the black aura attached to the robbers.

Because of this, this Cangyun Castle looks particularly gloomy.

In the middle of Cangyun Castle, there is a governor's mansion, which is the base camp of the bandits.

Strictly speaking, the robbers Qi Xuansu saw were not robbers, but rebels.

It's just that bandits are like combs and soldiers are like grates. It's hard to say whether the bandits are more terrifying or the rebels are more terrifying.

The people living in the Governor's Mansion are much better than the bandits and insurgents outside. At least they are still wearing armor and retaining some of the military power they had before they became bandits.

There is a watchtower in the Governor's Mansion, located at the highest point of the entire Cangyun Castle. If the enemy troops approach the city, the commander can climb up to the watchtower and observe the situation outside the city while directing the war.

A burly man who looked to be about fifty years old climbed up to the watchtower. He was wearing a military attache's robe from the Daqi period and looked at the scene outside the city. Even the vegetation outside seemed to be soaked by the black air and turned into dark green. , exuding a deep breath.

"Captain!" A general, whose whole body was wrapped in iron armor, followed the man, half a body behind.

At that time, Da Qi established 24 governors across the country. The task of these governors was to supervise the good and evil of officials below the local governor. The twenty-four governors are divided into three levels. The last level is the lower governor, the middle level is the middle governor, and the one with a higher level than the middle governor is the great governor. There are not many Grand Governors, only four.

Later, the Wei Dynasty also established the Grand Governor and the Grand Governor's Office, and later the Five Army Governor's Office. Although the Daxuan court abolished the Five Army Governor's Mansion, it established the Four Courts Governor's Mansion.

The biggest difference between the Duhufu and the Dudufu is that the Duhufu is mainly responsible for border affairs, while the Dudufu is a local administrative agency set up by the Qi court in important areas in the interior to manage inland affairs. Even at certain times, there will be situations where one person serves as the governor and the governor.

Judging from the size of this city, it is obvious that it will not be the Grand Governor, and most likely it will not be the Middle Governor, but most likely the Lower Governor.

However, this island has been completely stripped of the human world, and naturally there will be no imperial court. Whether it is the Grand Governor, the Lower Governor, or even an ordinary county magistrate, he is the supreme ruler of this place.

"The rebellion is still going on," the general said softly. "Rebellious people in various places refused to pay taxes and formed strongholds to resist the government troops."

The middle-aged man, who was honored as the Governor, ignored this. Instead, he stretched out his hand, his fingertips wrapped around the black aura, and said, "Do you feel it? There is an outside presence coming."

These black breaths are like his eyes and ears, telling him a lot of information, making him almost omniscient and omnipotent in this world.

The subordinate said nothing.

The governor continued: "I am a hunter on behalf of Heaven, and outsiders must be eliminated. This is the will of Heaven."
