Chapter 649 King Lands at the Gate of the City
Boom!
Thunder roared loudly in the sky above Thunder City, illuminating the night like day.
Thunder City at night was no longer as quiet as before, but more lively.
The streets were brightly lit, and every household had not turned off the lights to sleep.
Even on the streets, people could be seen walking together or gathering, holding lanterns, whispering and talking on the streets.
Occasionally, someone would stand on a high platform and make a speech.
"The king's army is just outside Thunder City, and it will arrive in Thunder City in a moment! This is the king's army! The emperor's army! It must be that the capital has heard the news of the rebel army and is here to quell the rebellion! We should find a way to open the door, eliminate the rebel army, and welcome the emperor's army!"
Although the words were passionate, the man was dressed in luxurious clothes, wearing gold and silver, which was a sharp contrast to the simple-dressed hardworking people below.
"Bullshit! The righteous army saved my family's life! Who in Thunder City doesn't know about the corruption of the Yudifu? Who are they working for? The whole Thunder City has been distorted! The government is not the government, and the people are being exploited. Isn't it miserable enough that we have been oppressed for these 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 settle accounts with some inflated guys! Let Thunder City return to the Thunder City of the government and the Thunder City of the people!"
"That's right! What about suppressing the rebellion, the ten major families rectifying the chaos, and the Yudifu aiding and abetting the evil! Thunder City is now in and out, and everyone is in danger. Everyone knows where the root of the problem is! It's better to say that the emperor now knows that Thunder City The chaos in Thunder City was just what they thought of, so they sent people to rectify it. They were all deceived by the traitors. Now God has opened his eyes, and His Majesty the Emperor has finally seen the situation in the world. Thinking of our remote place, I can only say that the good days of some big shots are over! "
"The clouds will clear and the moon will shine! Thunder City has been tossed around for so many years, is it finally going to have a good day? I only hope that the Yudi Mansion can release my little son who is imprisoned in prison. He is just playful and ignorant. He helped the rebels a little, but he was arrested and there is no news! In this world, the old man really can't live anymore. "
Several people spoke one after another, but they were all hidden in the crowd, so it was unclear who dared to say such a treasonous word.
"Bold!"
The person on the stage was instantly furious and glared at the people below.
"You actually slandered the ten great families, slandered our Lord Qingtian, and called the righteous army righteous men? I think you all don't want to live! I will report to the police in Yudifu and arrest you all!"
When he got angry, many people made sarcastic remarks, but more people quietly retreated, not daring to cause trouble.
Watch the excitement and explore the situation, but don't risk your life.
The situation is still unclear now. No one knows why the army outside the city came and who they are coming for. If you stand on the platform hastily, you may not even know how to write the word death when the matter is settled later.
Boom!
There was another thunder, and the rain fell from the sky.
The people gathered on the street dispersed and ran home.
And Xiong Rudong, who had been prepared, had already put on a bamboo hat and brought his wife and children. He did not leave, but stood there waiting.
The wife and children also wore bamboo hats and carried large and small bags. The crowd dispersed, making the three of them stand out.
The child was still young. Looking at the dispersed crowd and the thunderclouds in the sky, he felt a little scared and could not help but get closer to his parents.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
Xiong Rudong comforted the child with his big, thick palm, but inevitably there was a little worry in his expression.
The army outside the city was about to arrive. This might be their only chance to leave the city.
Once the army went to war with Thunder City and surrounded the entire Thunder City, then the way out of the city would be completely blocked.
Although the people on the street had many guesses, they almost all judged that the army was coming for Thunder City and was going to have a direct conflict.
Xiong Rudong was not afraid of the army and Thunder City getting along peacefully, because in this way, he could wait for the army to retreat and return at any time.
He was afraid that the army would conflict with Thunder City.
Whether it was a conflict with the ten major families or a conflict with the righteous army.
Such a huge army, surrounding the entire city, even if it is trapped but not attacked, is enough to kill most of the people in the city.
If the entire army rushes into the city, the huge number of impacts will cause chaos in the city.
He is just a small person who only wants to find a place to stay in this chaotic world, but he is unwilling to gamble his 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 very good, and the rebels also arranged people to gather here as a cover.
As a result, a heavy rain disrupted the plan, but fortunately, the rebels still sent people to meet them.
"It's me, what is this master's name?"
Xiong Rudong saluted respectfully, and his wife and children followed suit.
"Time is urgent, Master Xiong, there is no need to be polite, just follow me quickly."
Xiong Rudong looked back at his wife and children and nodded firmly.
"Okay!"
Following the man in front of him, he quickly crossed the streets with his wife and children, and soon the three of them arrived at the city gate in the east.
There were 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 quite hear what they were shouting, but he was very excited. Everyone was carrying luggage, 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 cart driver 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 his wife, she saw fear in her expression, 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 was what they had agreed upon. They might die if they stayed in the city, and they might die if they encountered monsters outside the city. But they still hoped to go out of the city first and wait and see what happened.
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 hasty manner, and then pushed the cart carrying the dead and living people towards the city gate. He was quite energetic.
The pounding rain 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?"
"That's right! Who knows if he will come back after pushing the dead man! If we can't get out, then no one else can get out either!"
"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! Please spare your life, sir!"
"Stop! Stop! Master, please forgive me, I didn't do anything! I didn't do anything just now!"
The slight chaos made Xiong Rudong a little nervous under the straw pile. With another rumble of thunder in the sky, they were pushed out of the city gate by the driver and came to the official road outside.
After continuing to pretend to be dead for a moment, the cart stopped.
"A few of you have left the city, please help yourself."
Xiong Rudong, his wife and children, stood up quickly, brushed off the straw on 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."
Xiong Rudong naturally responded.
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. 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 just a result of such bad weather.
Xiong Rudong listened carefully to the sound of raindrops 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.
shock……
The shaking on the ground stopped.
…
The head of the An family stood on the city wall, looking down at the stunning scenery below.
Beside him were several other members of the ten major families.
For such a grand moment, they had to be there, and they had 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.
Crowds 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 expressed a bit of emotion.
The tall horse, neatly equipped, sharpened sword... 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 descended, the entire army seemed to be covered with a layer of dark and cold colors, 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 its head out of the front line of the army, followed by a huge pig body filled with various iron pieces, with huge limbs and pig hooves, stepping out of the army step by step. , caught the eyes of everyone in Thunder City.
"Demon...demon?!"
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.
Even the armor made of fine iron could not hide the guy's fat head and body.
Accompanying the pig-headed general were the military advisor, deputy general and others riding tall horses behind him.
The aura each person exudes when taken 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 was really brave!"
The head of the An family said loudly, but the fat general did not look at him straight in the eye, but said coldly.
"What are you...?"
With just one sentence, the head of the An family froze in his place.
How many years has it been since he became the head of the family?
At this moment, the head of the An family was both angry and curious.
"A local family is qualified to talk to me? Call your Lord of Yudi Mansion! I want to ask how he disciplines his subordinates!"
The Lord of Yudi Mansion?
We tore them apart on the spot, and the bodies are gone, how can we call them out?
The head of the An family glanced at the person behind him.
It was the head of the Mingtang Hall of Yudi Mansion, Jin Fangzai, who was also temporarily appointed by them to manage Yudi Mansion.
It's just that this acting Lord is only used by their Thunder City. In the official documents of Yudi Mansion, this thing is not recognized.
But right now, it is not a problem to use it to help.
Hou Jin Fangzai, who was standing behind, felt the sight of the head of the An family and was startled. He was about to step forward, but suddenly heard someone speak loudly in the darkness on the side.
"General Pan has a bad temper. The Iron Wall Army has only been rising for a hundred years, but he has been entrusted with an important task by the current Holy Mountain to come to our remote place to do things. General Pan has a bright future."
That person walked to the top of the city wall and stood side by side with the head of the Bo family. It was... the head of the Song family!
The heads of the two top ten families arrived at the same time!
This weight and gold content, in the entire Thunder City, are explosive.
Thunder City has not seen the heads of the families appear on the stage for many years, not to mention the appearance of two big figures, the holders of the Ten Pillars!
It can be said that Thunder City has shown the highest courtesy to this foreign general.
But this courtesy, the foreign general may not be able to pay attention to.
But the people inside the Thunder City, including Fang Zai, have begun to tremble and dare not speak.
After all, any family head can crush them to death as easily as crushing an ant!
But even such a big shot still treats the army below with such grandeur and courtesy, which shows that the army from the capital is not simple at all!
Hearing the sound on the city wall again, even the demon mount under the fat general's crotch spewed air from its big nostrils, looking restless and impatient.
The fat general reached out and gently soothed the few iron nails on the pig's head, which made it dull again and restored its dull and stiff color.
Then he looked up, and the fat general's voice became a little colder.
"You, who are you? Is Nan Ruweng here? If you don't come out, don't blame me for being rude!"
