Chapter 221 Chapter 222 Slap in the face
Although the ghost cat is very irritable and cold, it is still quite reputable. Since it promised to sell Xu Dong a favor and can meet one of his requirements, it will naturally not regret it. Of course, this is also one of the inevitable results of mission rewards.
Leaving Maoshan with eight pieces of external equipment, Xu Dong thought about it, simply let the clockwork reveal the prototype, and then climbed onto it and let it carry himself to the Blood Helmet City. After treating Xiaohei, it can be said that the blood in the body has been consumed, and naturally it needs to be recovered by taking qi.
It is a good time for Xu Dong to let go of such a good opportunity to practice. Of course, he took out two cores of the refiner to practice. And with the strength of his slam awakener, the ghost forest is really rampant and is not afraid of being ambushed and robbed by rare beasts or adventurers.
And this clockwork guy is also talented enough to practice while traveling. The core energy of the temperer leaked by Xu Dong's cultivation was completely absorbed by it and turned into continuous physical strength. In such a running day and night, it only took them two days and two nights to return to the Blood Helmet City. The doorman's barracks outside.
At this time, there are only a few days left from the coming-of-age ceremony of His Royal Highness Chenguang. In order to ensure that there is no loss, the guard army has already dispersed all its troops and made every effort to track down the fierce barracks that broke through the border. Even the city and state building has been very busy during this period, hitting the heels to the back of the head.
Xu Dong's identity has long been recognized by the door guard. As soon as they saw him appear, they immediately opened the door and let him in. Soon, he saw the bloody city-building state.
At this time, the city built state was depressed and tired. He was thinking hard in front of the military map. Far away, Xu Dong heard his muttering: "Where on earth did he go? Two hundred and fifty people, how can there be no trace of them?"
It was not until Xu Dong lifted the tent that Cheng Jianbang suddenly realized that someone had entered. When he suddenly looked up and saw the identity of the visitor, his eyes first burst into consternation, followed by a long sigh, "Xu Dong, are you already a full-slam awakener? Huyou sent his confidants to me as early as two days ago to report the situation. They all said that you killed the angry man and the old horse with your own strength, and chased the demon fox. The three Slam awakeners were killed by you two and defeated one. At that time, I still didn't believe it, but now I believe it.
Xu Dong just smiled indifferently, "It's just a fluke."
Cheng Jianbang sighed again with emotion, "When we first met, you were the one-star awakener. When we met for the second time, you were already a four-star awakener. When I begged you, you went to a higher level, and now you have grown into a slam awakener. The speed of your practice is incredible! I'm afraid that the cat beaters in Iron Boots City may not have such a fluke as you!"
Thinking carefully, in less than three months, he grew from a one-star awakener to a full slam awakener, from an unknown pawn to a stamped foot. The left director of the order shelter in the Blood Helmet City was shocked by three earthquakes. This journey is really full of legend, not to mention that there is no future, but it must be unprecedented. The history of Blood Helmets has left a strong mark.
Xu Dong and Cheng Jianbang exchanged a few words to each other, inquired about the situation of the barracks, and knew that they still had not found any traces of each other. His Royal Highness Chenguang's coming-of-age ceremony is approaching. The existence of the fierce barracks is like a blade hanging above his head. I don't know when he will jump out. If Chen Guang is injured, not to mention the camp owner of a gatekeeper in the district, even the city owner will be greatly implicated. Naturally, the city-building state will not be allowed to try its best to find the enemy. Traces.
However, Xu Dong can't help in this regard. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "by the way, you just said that the city protection sent someone to report the situation. I don't know where the person is now?"
Cheng Jianbang pondered for a moment and asked, "What on earth are you investigating?" The summoner couldn't even tell me, saying that there was special information for you. Be sure to check it yourself!"
The summoner was not a stranger, but a monk who was one of the five new recruits before. After seeing Xu Dong, the monk didn't say much. Obviously, he still had a grudge in his heart and just handed him a cowhide scroll. After he retreated, Xu Dong opened the cowhide scroll and read it carefully.
As early as when the city protector left, Xu Dong explained some things to him. After defeating the Nuhan Camp and saving the bayonet camp, Xu Dong finally realized that the strength of the Nuhan Camp was much stronger than that mentioned by Han Update. Not only two more guards belong to the strengthened battalion, but there are also three Slam awakeners, among which Nuhan is only a little short of a strong man to become a tempered man.
If it hadn't been a coincidence, not only would not have been able to successfully rescue the bayonet camp, but I'm afraid that I would have built myself in!
If there is no conspiracy in it, how is it possible?
So what Xu Dong asked Cheng Huyou to investigate after returning was Han Gengxin and Li Zhan. Why did he kill himself? After he carefully browsed the information on the cowhide scroll, an unforgettable chill suddenly appeared in his heart.
Xu Dong never thought that the reason why he was remembered by Han Gengxin and Li Zhan was that he killed Liang Valley!
However, when he contacted the time when he killed Liang Valley and got the news that the bayonet camp was ambushed - although he was not a soldier in the army, he also knew that the supply of the Fifth Corps of Yangshanling was usually transported once a month, and the message told the soldiers who were ambushed in the bayonet camp of Chengjianbang also came in a hurry. , it's also a hurry to go. In other words, Han Gengxin and Li Zhan have no reason to know about their fight with Liang Shanli.
Obviously, the city protection has also found this point, and it is clear that there is a force secretly transmitting information. And the source of this clue is actually a store specializing in jewelry in Blood Helmet City. The name of this store is the Lord of the City.
What makes Xu Dong more difficult to accept is that in the decoration of the city owner, there is the share of the lord. Now that the lord of the city is thousands of miles away, this jewelry store, which is one of the best in the Blood Helmet City, is naturally temporarily managed by His Royal Highness Chenguang!
Xu Dong couldn't help feeling cold when he thought that the person he regarded as his brother would stab such a silent cold knife! After thinking about it carefully, Xu Dong suddenly felt dizzy and powerless when he contacted the main task.
has said before that although Middle-earth maintained a delicate peace on the surface, it is secretly rough, and the struggle on the border has never stopped. In such an environment, once the border of the Dachen Empire is invaded, it will break the already tense situation and trigger a war between the two countries!
His Royal Highness Chenguang is a king and temporarily commands the border city. He is already responsible for great righteousness. He wants to hold the military power, control the fifth regiment, and then plot the 14th border defense army. Of course, it is logical!! At that time, the real power will be in hand, and it will be subject to the fate of the foreign emperor. It really responds to the true meaning of Go. The golden horn and silver edge grass belly is an extremely good chess!!
He thought about it again. He was cheated by Han Gengxin and Li Zhan. It is estimated that most of them have personal grudges, and it is also the same time that he will fall into the situation... However, he really can't guarantee whether Chen Guang is the target of the main task or not.
For a while, Xu Dong still had an indescribable feeling, as if he was in a thick fog, and the scenery in the distance was difficult to distinguish. He reached out and stirred hard. The fog would dissipate, but it quickly gathered again.
Putting aside these complicated thoughts, Xu Dong left the guard barracks and returned to the order shelter. Now he is in an important position. This run has been more than half a month. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a corpse meal, and the mountains of documents waiting to be processed on the desk also illustrate this situation from the side.
Not long after Xu Dong sat down, the door was pushed open by Shengsheng. No, it should be kicked open!
The door he was working in was made of solid wood, which was full of a finger thick. After being kicked open, a loud noise hit the wall, and even the dust above his head fell. Besides, although people wear the uniform of the management of the shelter, they always give people a feeling of being bathed in a monkey. Not only does it have the slightest sense of righteousness, but it seems to be particularly fluid.
Xu Dong's heart moved and soon knew who was coming.
The order shelter is divided into two systems, one is the internal service and the other is the field. The field is naturally a patrol, and the internal service is responsible for the logistics support of patrol officers, including equipment maintenance, salary payment, etc. Whether it is field or internal service, they are generally ordinary people, that is, non-Ashi.
However, the objects to be faced in the order shelter are all-inclusive, from ordinary civilians to the highest-level Jiashi. Can field patrols bring them every time they arrest criminals? Therefore, the director also has his own authority to appoint his cronies. Generally, five cronies can be appointed to be in charge of a battalion of patrols.
The salaries of these cronies are not guaranteed by the city, but are borne by the appointees themselves. From this point, it can be seen that in the official system at this time, it is really sad for the children of civilians to rise to the throne, and the authority of urban management is often in the hands of the nobles!
And this sharp-billed monkey-cheeked guy named Wang Gui is one of the five cronies appointed by right director Li Xing.
After Wang Gui kicked open Xu Dong's door, he was suddenly stunned, and then his face turned white, and then his whole body trembled. He covered the thick door in fear. Then he bowed his waist and his head was almost on his knees. Finally, he trembled and said in a trembling voice, "Left, the eldest son, the eldest son, Yes, please move to the hall.
The reason for such an arrogant and respectful attitude is that Xu Dong did not restrain his breath and let the breath of the Slam awakener vent. Although Wang Gui is only a four-star awakener, he is the boss of a five-star awakener. The so-called dog fighting depends on the owner, so he is naturally arrogant and arrogant. How do you know that Director Zuo changed and became a full-guan awakener, and even Director Right had to bow and nod, let alone a dog?
However, Wang Gui is also a human spirit. He changes his face so fast that Xu Dong doesn't even have a chance to do it.
After listening, Xu Dong sorted out his clothes and strode to the hall.
