Castle of Black Iron

Volume 37 Chapter 28 Shenzhou Beacon (1)

80 kilometers away from the south of Pingsha Valley, Huian City...

Hui'an City is a small city, a small city that can only be regarded as a third-class businessman according to Taixia's city standards.

The area within the city walls of this city is less than 30 square kilometers, and the outside of the city is full of market towns and large tracts of farms. There has not been any war in the past few years. Therefore, Hui'an City still maintains the appearance when it was first established. Although steam city defense equipment is arranged on the city wall, the height of the city wall is only about ten meters.

To some extent, Hui'an City can already be regarded as an ancient city. The residents living in Hui'an City are quite proud of Hui'an City. The small town with its original style, on the contrary, has a special temperament, which is intriguing.

Longxi County is the granary of Zhongzhou, while Hui'an rice and Hui'an wheat are equally famous, because Hui'an's local grain is excellent, and because Hui'an is close to Huihe River, the water quality of Huihe River is suitable for wine making. Several famous wines brewed in Hui'an wineries are sold in Longxi The county also has a good reputation. Among them, the most famous Shuangjing wine is sold outside of Zhongzhou, and can be seen even in Xuanyuan Hill.

Hui'an City is famous for its grain and wine, and the grain and wine here are exported to all over the world. For hundreds of years, people living here have lived better from generation to generation due to the hard work and wisdom of their ancestors. Now, the entire Hui'an City and its surroundings are rich and prosperous. It is peaceful and peaceful. Even the buildings in the farm near Hui'an City reveal a kind of elegance and sophistication unique to the rule of Taixia Shenzhou. There are barbarians from many subcontinents who come to Hui'an City and look at the outside of Hui'an City. The vast farmland, the garden-like farm and the neat buildings with strong Chinese style in the farm, all exclaimed that this place is simply a paradise on earth.

It was August, and the sun had just come out in the morning. The field outside Hui'an was golden as far as the eye could see. When the breeze blows, the golden wheat waves are rolling, which is pleasing to the eye...

The wheat outside Hui'an has matured in the past few days. Taking advantage of the good weather today, in many fields, at dawn, there are a large number of farmers driving steam machines to prepare for harvesting. The price is still rising steadily, especially this year, the increase is a little bigger than last year. This is a bumper harvest year. Looking at the heavy wheat ears in the field, all the farmers outside Hui'an are smiling, and their hearts are flowing. The joy of harvest...

In places like Zhongzhou, the gates of the city will not be closed, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, except for the fact that the soldiers guarding the gates will take turns, the gates here are generally closed. will close.

Even the local old people here in Hui'an can't remember the last time the gates of Hui'an City were closed. It seems that there was one time during the Second Holy Chalk War. The gate of Hui'an City was closed again.

Today, however, is an exception.

In the morning, the north gate of Hui'an City was bustling with people. Suddenly, a group of orderly and hurried footsteps came from Zhengde Street, which is connected to the north gate of Hui'an City. With the sound of footsteps, a group of thousands of fully armed Huian city soldiers, led by a leading officer, rushed towards here in a hurry. Those with sharp eyes could even see that with these soldiers, there were also several criminal arrests and officials from the Hui'an City Tingwei Department.

"The city lord has an order to close all the gates of Hui'an City immediately, and immediately close all the gates of Hui'an City. First-level combat readiness, all steam city defense equipment on the city walls are all fired and pressurized..."

Haven't run to the city gate yet,

The officer leading the team yelled.

This loud roar, as well as the anxious posture of this team of soldiers, caused commotion at the north gate of Hui'an City. One-third of them went out, and two-thirds were still in the city. When they heard that the north gate was to be closed immediately, the convoy did not leave the city gate, but took the time to continue to leave the city.

"What's going on, I told you to close the city gate immediately, do you hear me?" The officer leading the team rushed over, seeing that the airlock in the city gate hadn't been moved, and the trucks were still leaving the city in an orderly manner, he couldn't help but He was furious, and rushed over with a few soldiers and two criminal arresters from the Ting Wei Department.

Seeing the officer approaching with an angry face, none of the teams stationed at the city gate made a sound, but the team leader was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak, but a man in charge smiled Go up to meet him, "Master, this is the convoy of Shuangjing Winery. It is about to unload at the airship take-off and landing base outside the city. The convoy has already gone out. It only takes two minutes for all the convoy to go out. The people stationed at the gate of the city are all local children from Hui'an City, everyone is familiar with each other, I asked them to give me two more minutes to let the convoy leave the city, please don't blame the army, it only takes two minutes..."

Hui'an City has been in peace for too long, so when the urgent order to close the city gate came at this time, everyone was a little baffled, and the soldiers stationed at the city gate did not have that sense of urgency. Shuangjing Winery is also famous in Hui'an City, and there are still some human relations in normal times, so it is necessary to delay closing the city gate for two minutes to let the other party leave the city.

With a sound of "choke...", the officer leading the team pushed the steward away, pulled out the long sword he was hanging at once, swung the long sword, and without a word, went towards the guards of the guard team at the gate of the city. The small captain's neck was chopped off, making everyone's expressions suddenly changed...

The sharp long sword stopped squeezing the skin on the captain's neck, the sharp blade had already cut the skin on the neck of the captain, and beads of blood rolled down, the face of the captain suddenly turned pale. To put it bluntly, his feet were a little weak, just at this second, he thought his head was about to be chopped off.

"I'll cut off your head before the city gate is closed within half a minute!" the officer said coldly.

The officer here moved his hands, and the two criminal arresters who followed the officer here had long since said nothing. They ran to the two trucks that were leaving the city at the gate of the city, showed their badges, and took the truck driver out of the city. The driver's seat was pulled down rudely, and then the two cars backed up at the same time, slamming into the car behind them heavily, leaving the place where the air brake of the city gate fell.

As soon as the two cars collided and moved out of the way, a lot of Shuangjing famous wine in clay pots on the car broke apart at once, and the smell of wine overflowed everywhere for a while.

"What are you doing? These wines are going to be sent to Zhongzhou City. The father of Mr. Zhongzhou Chengmu's 120-year-old Shuangjiazi celebrated his birthday. The old man liked to drink our famous Shuangjing wine before, so he asked for Shuangjing famous wine to hold a birthday banquet. Delayed delivery time, can you afford it? You are a foreign military household, what's so great about it, even the Chengmu Master of Hui'an City wants to give us Shuangjing Winery some face..." The steward who was rudely pushed away by the officer His complexion became extremely ugly, his voice suddenly became sharper, and he began to flaunt his teeth and claws...

Zhongzhou City is the state city of Zhongzhou, and it is also a first-class city. The lord of Zhongzhou City has the same official rank as the Sheriff of Longxi County. layer, it is easier to get promoted.

"Fuck you!" Seeing that the steward was still chattering in front of him at this moment, the officer kicked the steward directly in the stomach, kicked the steward flying, and fell outside the city gate. All of a sudden, he almost lost his breath.

The officer didn't try his best with this kick, it was just a lesson. If he really tried his best, this kick was enough to kill an ordinary person, but even so, this kick made the steward not crawl for a long time stand up.

By the time the steward got up, the airlock of the north gate of Hui'an City had fallen, and the gate had been closed.

The steward was jumping and cursing at the gate of the city. Before he could say a few words, he heard the exclamation from the gate tower. As soon as the steward turned his head, he saw a thick black smoke in a market town a few kilometers outside Hui'an City. Smoke rose into the sky.

Could it be a fire!

This idea just came up in the manager's head, and there was black smoke rising from the farm in another direction outside the city...

what happened?

Seeing the fire in two places outside the city, those who were blocked outside the city immediately climbed into the truck cleverly and looked towards the place where the black smoke was coming out.

"Ah, why did the people in Fu'an Town escape? What's going on..." The person who climbed on the roof exclaimed...

The gate of Hui'an City was closed in an emergency, and the farms and market towns outside the city were full of smoke, and someone ran out... As soon as these messages passed through the mind of the manager, his face turned pale, something must have happened... …

Although the steward was pretending to be powerful just now, his brain was not stupid. Looking at the closed city gate behind him, the steward suddenly understood what was happening, and then burst into tears, beating hard on the thick metal gate, "Ah, quickly open the city gate and let me in..."

Outside the city gate, there was already some commotion...

And at the city gate, all the soldiers, including the officer just now and the two criminal arrests from the Hui'an City Tingwei Department who followed, at this moment, everyone's expressions changed...

At the location of the city gate, because of its height and several telescopes placed on the city gate, it is easy to see what is happening in Fu'an Town.

The soaring smoke and fire were burning in the center of Fu'an Town. Seeing the fire burning in the town, many people who were busy in the farmland put down their work and prepared to fight the fire. Those people ran back from the farmland, and more and more residents living in Fu'an Town rushed out from various places in the town, shouting and crying, and ran into the wheat fields...

Only two minutes later, before the first person who ran out of Fu'an Town had run 1,000 meters, several blood-red figures rushed out of the town, catching up with the last few people in the wheat field. Tore those people apart in the wheat field... , is my greatest motivation.)
