Peerless Tangmen: Iron-Blooded Sun and Moon

Chapter 161 Mingdu Workers Uprising!

Hearing what Xiao Hongchen said, everyone was shocked.What they need assistance is not the police, but the military, which has already explained the problem.I'm afraid this riot is not that simple.

Could it be that the evil soul master caused the chaos?
"What I want to remind you is that this mission has a certain degree of danger. You must be mentally prepared. What we are going to face is the thugs of the 'New White Lotus Sect'. They instigated this worker riot in the new urban area. , the situation will not be simple. But we don’t need to play the main force, everyone’s personal safety is the priority, and it’s enough to see the scene, which should be the idea of ​​​​the academy.”

Xiao Hongchen glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice.

When Xu Tianyu heard the "New White Lotus Sect", Xu Tianyu's pupils shrank slightly, and everyone was shocked.

Over the past hundred years, with the widening gap between the rich and the poor and the accumulation of social conflicts, many rebellious organizations and ideological trends have emerged in the Sun Moon Empire. Especially during the reign of Emperor Xuanhe, workers and peasants revolted one after another. , brought a huge threat to the rule of the empire.

The New White Lotus Sect is one of the resistance organizations born in recent decades, and it is the largest. It is officially classified as a cult by the empire. Once discovered, it must be resolutely suppressed and banned.

The so-called New White Lotus Sect borrows the name of an ancient religion in the Sun-Moon Continent; before the establishment of the Sun-Moon Dynasty, a sect named White Lotus Sect spread in the land of the Sun-Moon Continent. This religion has always been an enemy of the imperial court and encouraged The common people of the lower class rebelled, and in the last years of the dynasty, the White Lotus Sect could often be seen.

But today's New White Lotus Sect, although borrowing the name of the ancient White Lotus Sect, has undergone tremendous changes and updates in its connotations; generally speaking, it has removed a lot of superstitious and ignorant content, and is more specific and speculative in terms of doctrine and thought , maintaining the emphasis that humans on the mainland are brothers and sisters regardless of race, but denying the legitimacy of the existence of all countries including the Sun Moon Empire.

The New White Lotus Sect believes that the reason why the poor people suffer is that the masters of the means of production plunder the wealth created by the general public, and use this to accumulate capital, expand their own advantages, and make the human world farther and farther away from the vacuum home. Far, closer and closer to Mara Hell.

Generally speaking, on the surface, the current Sun Moon Empire has long since abolished slavery, and everyone is a free citizen, but in fact, everyone is a slave, sinking into the sea of ​​suffering, and sinking deeper and deeper.They even claimed that the emperors of the Sun Moon Empire and even the nobles at all levels were actually humanoid spirit beasts that came out of the demonic forest, and they had cruelly squeezed human blood for thousands of years.

If people want to build a new world and welcome the coming of the lifeless old mother and the vacuum hometown, they have to smash the old world to pieces and kill all the devils in human skin to resolve the doom of mankind.And those who stand on the opposite side and collude with the devil are destined to be scattered, unable to enter the kingdom of the lifeless old mother, and never to be reborn forever!
Now among the bottom layers of the Sun Moon Empire, the spread of the New White Lotus Sect is actually very terrifying. It is hard to say how many people are potential believers of the New White Lotus Sect.Even in Mingdu, at the foot of the emperor, there are many secret religious organizations lurking.

Jiang Yun and his party rushed towards the new city at the fastest speed.At this time, the entire area of ​​the new city has been completely under martial law, and a yellow cordon has been pulled up. Military policemen with soul guide guns are standing on the periphery, waiting in full force; After Hongchen showed his action token, he let the group enter the new city.

The new urban area is located on the edge of Mingdu, but even if it is on the edge, it is Mingdu with a population of nearly one million. It is daytime, and it should be noisy with people, but it is like a dead city at this time, and every household is hiding. At home, doors and windows are closed.

This is the first time for Xiao Xiao to come to the new urban area on the fringe of Mingdu; compared to the prosperity of Mingdu in the usual impression, on the whole, this new urban area looks too dilapidated, and even seems to be more than backward Ten years in general.

What she didn't know was that this new urban area was the densest area of ​​slums in the entire Mingdu; most of the people living here were the real bottom of the city, so they were naturally not as glamorous as other areas.

Finally, under the leadership of Xiao Hongchen, the crowd rushed to an old steel factory, where the mob finally fought.

"Students, you came just in time."

A few hundred meters away from the steel plant, a large number of imperial soldiers in blue clothes were lined up, hiding behind the bunker, waiting to launch an attack.An officer wearing military rank epaulets waved to Jiang Yun and the others, said with a smile while holding a cigarette in his mouth.

The officer looked about 40 to [-] years old, with a thick beard, a burly figure, and a cowhide hat on his head.

Judging from the two-star epaulets he wears, this should be a lieutenant colonel.

Besides this officer, beside him, there were several young men in orange academy uniforms, who seemed to be gendarmerie members from Mingdu Soul Engineering Academy.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am the battalion commander of the 110th Army Division, Li Youxiao, and I am in charge of this operation to suppress the rioters."

Li Youxiao sat behind the bunker, saluted Jiang Yun and the others, and said.Jiang Yun and the others also put their hands on the brows and saluted respectfully.

"It has been half a day since we besieged this steel factory. The enemy has been guarding the factory since the initial breakthrough failed. Now there are about 200 enemies, most of whom are workers from the original steel factory, and there are a few real workers. His soul engineer should be an evil disciple of the New White Lotus Sect."

"They are all equipped with soul guide guns, and may also have low-level custom-installed soul guide shells. The firepower cannot be underestimated. The internal structure of the steel plant is also relatively complicated, and it has abundant reserves. They are guarding it, which is indeed a Headache."

Li Youxiao rubbed the center of his brows, and said with some distress.

"Why not mobilize heavy firepower for bombardment?"

Xiao Hongchen frowned slightly and asked.

"No way. Firstly, the deployment time is too long; secondly, if heavy soul guide cannons are mobilized, this kind of thing will undoubtedly cause panic among the citizens, which is what the people above don't want to see."

Li Youxiao smiled wryly and said.

Everyone nodded. In this way, letting the academy's elite soul instructors make a breakthrough is undoubtedly the option with the least impact.It's just that the faces of those students from Mingdu Soul Engineering Academy showed obvious hesitation, and Li Youxiao also noticed it.

"Now, I'm going to give you the first task."

Li Youxiao said with a serious face.

"Lin Peng, you bring those people up."

"Yes, sir."

A young soldier got up, gave a military salute to Li Youxiao, and then trotted to the other side.

Not long after, the soldier and several other soldiers escorted a group of people over, brought them to an open space in front of everyone, and stopped.

"Your Majesty!"

A few soldiers kicked those people roughly on their knees, forcing them to kneel on the rough ground. Some people struggled a little, but they were beaten by gun butts.

For a moment, expressions of unbearableness flashed across the faces of the girls.

The seven people who were escorted were actually men and women, wearing loose coarse cloth clothes, and their faces looked like they had worked too hard for a long time; at this time, their hands were tied up with hemp rope, and all of them had thongs on their faces. Injured, obviously suffered a lot of torture before.

"Students, your first mission is very simple and there is no danger. Execute them!"

Li Youxiao pointed at the row of people, and everyone's expressions changed instantly.

"Aren't they already prisoners? Why do they do this? Even if they are guilty, they should be handed over to the Imperial Court."

Xiao Hongchen said with some surprise.

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome. To deal with these people, this is what the above means. Who will come first?"

Li Youxiao showed a somewhat ferocious smile, glanced at everyone, and asked.

For a moment, everyone's faces turned pale.

"Huh? You youngsters from the academy, don't you even dare to kill someone? This is not acceptable. If you can't complete the first task, it will make me very embarrassed."

Li Youxiao spread his hands and said.

Everyone's faces became struggling.If the necessary mission cannot be completed, then there is no need to talk about the consequences; but, do they really want to carry out the order and send these people who have never met before into a pool of blood?
"Instructor, I understand."

After some struggle, the captain of the Gendarmerie of Mingdu Soul Engineering Academy raised his hand and said.

"Okay, give him the gun."

Li Youxiao smiled with satisfaction, stepped forward and patted the young boy on the shoulder, and said.

Soon, the soldiers handed over soul guide guns to the gendarmes of Mingdu Soul Engineering Academy.

Under Li Youxiao's gaze, the young men stood opposite the captives, pulled the bolts tremblingly, and pointed the black muzzles at the workers covered in blood.

"boom!"

The captain fired first, but the soul missile missed and landed on the ground, splashing a small piece of soil.

"Instructor, they can't. Let me go first."

At this time, an unexpected person stood up suddenly and said calmly.

This person is Xu Tianyu. He stared at Li Youxiao with firm eyes at this time, making everyone, including his teammates, look astonished.

"Tianyu, you."

Xiao Hongchen said with some surprise.Xu Tianyu didn't answer the captain, but just looked at Li Youxiao.At this time, not only did those people in Mingdu Soul Engineering Academy not feel uneasy when they saw someone stand out, but they felt a sense of relief.

Xu Tianyu calmly took a soul gun from a soldier, pulled the bolt with a "click", and then walked behind a "prisoner".

"boom!"

Xu Tianyu firmly pulled the trigger, and the soul missile immediately passed through the back of the man's head, and his head drooped all of a sudden.

"vomit"

Seeing this bloody scene, a student of Mingdu Soul Engineering Academy even dropped his gun on the spot and vomited.

"Instructor, I'm sorry, let's forget it. We will work hard for the attack later."

The captain of Mingdu Soul Engineering Academy put down his gun and looked at Li Youxiao with a pleading look in his eyes.

In the end, Li Youxiao didn't continue to embarrass the students, and asked the soldiers to take the captives back.

"Boy, not bad! How old are you?"

Li Youxiao stepped forward, patted Xu Tianyu on the shoulder, and asked.

"Reporting to the instructor, I am a second-year student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, and I am 14 years old this year."

Xu Tianyu stood upright and replied.

"Okay, very good. Will you have the courage to charge with General Ben later?"

"That's why I don't dare to invite you!"

Xu Tianyu said loudly, making Li Youxiao's face more and more satisfied.

"Very good. Next, when we attack the factory, you will cover the general, and the rest will guard the perimeter to prevent the enemy from breaking out. By the way, and you, bring three capable men and follow along. "

Li Youxiao looked at the captain of Mingdu Soul Engineering Academy and said tentatively.

"Yes, Instructor!"

Fifteen minutes later, Li Youxiao blew a sharp whistle, and then led four members of the Academy Gendarmerie, plus more than 15 heavily armed soldiers, to launch a new round of attack on the old steel factory .

When the officers and soldiers approached the steel factory for a hundred meters, gun barrels protruded from the window of the steel factory, and there was a burst of gunfire; It worked, and immediately suppressed firepower, making the opponent unable to raise his head.

"boom boom"

Under the shocking eyes of all the soldiers, Xiao Hongchen actually controlled dozens of soul guide cannons and bombed the steel factory by himself. It was almost as good as an artillery company by himself.If it wasn't for the fact that the steel factory was built firmly enough, he alone would have been able to break through it, and there was no need to venture into it to compete and fight.

Nearly an hour later, the flames and gunshots in the steel factory gradually subsided.Finally, a group of people rushed out, looking a little embarrassed; out of the more than 100 people who went in, there were one-third fewer people who came out at this time, and many of them were covered with blood, and they didn't know whether it was their own or their comrades-in-arms.

Li Youxiao died. According to Xu Tianyu, he died in an accident in the battle for the corridor; besides Li Youxiao, the members of Mingdu Soul Engineering Academy also stepped on a dark thunder because of their eagerness to do meritorious service, and they were all unconscious at this time do not wake up.

For a while, the morale of the officers and soldiers present was low, and no one even mentioned when to organize the next attack.Who would have thought that not only was the attack unsuccessful, but the chief was also sent away.As the battalion commander, Li Xiaopeng is a genuine third-level soul engineer!

At night, people including the Academy Gendarmerie set up a floor outside the steel factory, waiting for a new wave of support and new instructions from their superiors.This night, no matter inside or outside the steel plant, many people were sleepless.

In the middle of the night, Xu Tianyu got up furtively. After making sure that his teammates were asleep and no one noticed him, he turned into a black shadow and left the position.

Xu Tianyu hid in an alley all the time, then sneered, took out a soul missile, put it into a soul guide gun, pointed it at the sky, and was about to launch it.

"Tianyu."

At this moment, a voice sounded from behind Xu Tianyu; Xu Tianyu's whole body froze suddenly, and cold sweat broke out from behind.

The next moment, Xu Tianyu retracted the soul guide cannon, and a saber appeared in his hand. The saber was bright and sharp, and he slashed at the man directly.

"when!"

Sparks splashed, illuminating the man's face; Jiang Yun also held a melee soul guide, held Xu Tianyu's saber, and watched Xu Tianyu calmly.

"Jiang Yun, are you going to report me?"

Xu Tianyu was silent for a moment, retracted his saber, looked at Jiang Yun, and asked.

"Li Youxiao, you should have killed him."

Jiang Yun sighed softly and asked.

Xu Tianyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"it's me."

Time rewinds to a few hours ago.

"Da da da"

Between the corridors, gunshots continued to roar; Xu Tianyu stood by Li Youxiao's side, waving the saber in his hand, and kept blocking the flying soul missiles for Li Youxiao.

Under the cover of Xu Tianyu, Li Youxiao fully demonstrated the destructive power of a third-level soul engineer. He controlled a third-level flamethrower, and the terrifying tongue of flame swept across the corridor in an instant, bringing a lot of screams.

The intrusion went very smoothly. In less than 10 minutes, the officers and soldiers had already completed half of the cleanup of the steel plant; this made Li Youxiao very proud.With this military achievement, it shouldn't be too long before he is promoted to colonel.

Perhaps because it was too smooth, Li Youxiao's dashing speed on the corridor became faster and faster; what he didn't notice was that he was completely out of touch with the officers and soldiers behind him.

At this moment, an oval-shaped soul tool was thrown out of Xu Tianyu's hand; it's just that the soul tool was not thrown at the enemy, but at his own rear.

"boom!"

The soul guide exploded in the corridor below, and instead of forming fireworks, it created a large cloud of smoke that permeated the entire corridor; for a moment, the sight of the officers and soldiers who had just followed was completely obscured, and they could not see the sky above at all. In such a situation, you can only stop temporarily.

"what's the situation?"

Li Youxiao's complexion changed slightly, he turned around, and looked behind the smog: At this moment, a hideous look flashed in Xu Tianyu's eyes, and the shadow of the Seven Evil Stele flashed behind him, and the blood-red light covered the soul guide. On the sword.

"puff!"

The hand rises and the knife falls.Li Youxiao didn't even have time to let out a scream, and his head fell to the ground, blood splashing down the corridor.The next moment, Xu Tianyu let out an unbelievable roar: "Sir!"

"Do you sympathize with them? Or, you are also a member of the New White Lotus Sect."

Jiang Yun retracted the melee soul guide and asked calmly.

"That's right, I am a member of the New White Lotus Sect. I am willing to dedicate everything to the lifeless mother, the vacuum hometown, and the liberation of all mankind."

Xu Tianyu's face at this time became extremely solemn, with a strange light, and said.

"Jiang Yun, you are a sensible person; even if you don't believe in a vacuum hometown, you should understand that the empire cannot last long like this. Do you really believe that Xu Tianran can save the country? Only by overthrowing the royal family, we will continue Only the Moon Empire, and even the entire continent, can be reborn."

Xu Tianyu sighed softly and said.

"So what are you going to do just now? Play a fake signal light, come and send the tiger away from the mountain, and give your people a chance to evacuate?"

Jiang Yun smiled and asked.

"I showed you everything."

Xu Tianyu smiled wryly, but did not deny it.

"This kind of plan still has too many loopholes. Even if the signal is received, the people here will not completely withdraw. Not to mention anything else, there are people from the cadet gendarmerie. Do you think that with those workers, there is Is there a chance to break through?"

Jiang Yun asked with a smile.

Xu Tianyu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head dejectedly; the next moment, Xu Tianyu suddenly raised his head with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Jiang Yun, what do you mean?"

"I dare not say too many. I can help you save 20 people."

Jiang Yun raised his hand, raised two fingers, and said with a smile on his face.

How could he not know that these besieged "thugs" are actually desperate poor workers who are forced to make ends meet?It doesn't matter if you say that the New White Lotus Sect is demagoguery or incitement; there are so many people willing to follow them, with their heads tied to their belts, and the people who are at fault will never be the common people.

Jiang Yun is naturally not a follower of the New White Lotus Sect, and it is impossible to fully agree with their teachings; however, this does not mean that he will not sympathize with these workers and soldiers who have come to a dead end and uttered their last roar at the nobles and the emperor.In any case, it is impossible for Jiang Yun to equate the New White Lotus Sect with the Holy Spirit Sect.

In today's era, in order to support a huge industrial system that covers the entire empire and has a population of more than [-] million, it is far from enough to rely only on those hundreds of thousands of soul engineers.The most basic soul guides, as well as materials, are produced by millions or tens of millions of low-level soul guide workers. These people maintain the bones and blood of the empire, but they only get the worst treatment, and sometimes even Even life is difficult to sustain.

"A brave man knows righteousness, and a wise man must be kind." Even though he was not in the same camp, at this moment, Jiang Yun still decided to lend a helping hand.What's more, Jiang Yun has deeper thoughts in his heart.

The reason why Jiang Yun is confident in his rescue is also because his "shadow" soul bone has further expanded the space of another dimension after the last evolution.The expanded space of another dimension, in a sense, has become a small plane, or a half-plane; that is to say, he can not only drag into the corpse of a soul beast for devouring and rubbing; Humans or beasts can also enter this different-dimensional space if the other party does not resist.

"I also ask Brother Yun for advice."

Xu Tianyu immediately knelt down and said ecstatically.Even the title has changed from "Jiang Yun" to "Brother Yun".

"Come with me."

The shadow behind Jiang Yun flickered for a moment; the next moment, the air around the two of them was slightly distorted. From the perspective of outsiders, the two of them just disappeared from the spot.

The last time he hunted the soul beast, Jiang Yun not only broke through to the soul king, but also renewed his soul skill of shadow soul bone rubbing.

Among them, there is a soul beast named Manticore from Star Dou Great Forest, and its soul skill is called "Nirience Pointer"; an ice silkworm from the extreme north, Jiang Yun successfully rubbed the same "simulation" as Huo Yuhao. "Soul skills.For this soul skill, Jiang Yun can be said to have been coveting it for a long time, and it is very convenient to do anything.

The last one is a "Magic Eye Earth Dragon" from the evil forest. This kind of soul beast has some relationship with the evil eye tyrants. technology.

Jiang Yun found three soul beasts this time, all of which were at the ten thousand-year level; the other two soul beasts are fortunately said to be ice silkworms at the ten-thousand-year level, which are really rare and extremely rare. When it came to the strange ice silkworm with a black magic pattern, he could hardly believe his eyes.

Of course, Jiang Yun also heard from the Ice Emperor that she once saw a magical ice silkworm with a cultivation base of more than 90 years, and that guy had nine golden rings formed on his body, which is really outrageous.

Although Jiang Yun doesn't have a spiritual attribute spirit now, after refining the "Sacred Yuan Qilin Pill" and adding a 10-year-old head spirit bone, his spiritual power is already extremely powerful; The "simulation" effect of the spiritual attribute soul ring at the age level, even if it is not as good as that of Huo Yuhao, is not far behind.

The two of them put on a flying soul guide, swaggered down from the sky, passed through the window, and entered the steel factory. The guarded soldiers outside didn't know what happened.

"Just touched it in"

After entering the old iron factory again, Xu Tianyu looked at the ceiling, feeling unreal.This is really... so exciting!
"Okay, hurry up and find your 'brothers and sisters'."

Jiang Yun patted Xu Tianyu's shoulder and said with a smile.

Following the obvious bloody smell, the two found a room; 13 people were lying in the room, each with wounds and bandages, and groaning from time to time.
