Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 180:179 Admiral Hong Shenghuo

It’s not that Zhang Qiuchi really agrees with Ren Pingsheng’s statement, he has another consideration.

Although the church has surrounded the temple, it is only temporary because the Water Control Bureau has not yet intervened.

If that shot was really related to the church, then the church would have to face not only the temple, but also the Water Control Bureau.

This siege seems dangerous, but perhaps it can be solved with the help of the Water Control Bureau.

Of course, Zhang Qiuchi did have the thought of cherishing his life in his heart - among the three chief priests, Ren Pingsheng still had all his strength, Song Chungui was young and strong, and his injuries recovered faster than his. If they really wanted to break through, he would be the one most likely to sacrifice himself.

Therefore, the safest way is to wait for the change in the Water Conservancy Bureau.

Even if this plan fails, there is still time to break out.

……

The words are divided into two parts.

Feng Xiuhu once again came to the front line as the supreme commander of the church.

The temple street was ablaze with flames, illuminating the street like daylight.

The people living in Guanmiao Street are not ordinary civilians with no money. This place is adjacent to the Guanmiao Temple. All the houses are high-rise buildings, and all the residents are wealthy. They are all loyal to the Goddess of Wind and Rain.

The temple officials who usually visit the temple welcome these devout believers with smiles, but unfortunately they have no time to take care of them today.

As soon as the fire broke out, residents on the street started to put out the fire, but the fire could not be put out at all and instead grew bigger and bigger.

As the aggressive Divine Guards rushed in, the residents had no choice but to flee crying for their lives.

Across the street from the temple gate, the Divine Guards were lined up with shields raised.

Feng Xiuhu stood behind his shield, pointed at the temple gate in the distance, and asked, "What's the situation now?"

Guard Officer Morgan stood beside him. "They're holding the temple and won't leave. Judging from the news coming back from the other three sides, they don't seem to have any intention of breaking out for the time being."

Feng Xiuhu complained, "If they don't move, can't we still fight? What are you just standing there for? Shoot them with a crossbow, set them on fire, do you need me to teach you?"

Guard Officer Morgan gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and patiently explained, "The wind sail formation horse talisman has not been lifted yet. We can't attack, so we can only wait."

Feng Xiuhu suddenly realized that he had come up with another bad idea, so he stopped talking.

He stepped back and found Mike in the crowd.

Feng Xiuhu leaned closer and asked quietly, "When will that wind and horse talisman lose its effect?"

Mike shook his head: "This is my first time seeing it too, I don't know."

Feng Xiuhu was slightly disappointed. He rolled his eyes and asked, "If there's another bomb, will the temple still be able to hold on?"

Mike was shocked when he heard this: "What do you mean by another shot? Was that shot just now yours—"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion in the formation at the end of the street.

Guard Officer Morgan shouted, "Be on guard!"

After a while, the Divine Guards in the distance calmed down.

A guard came hurriedly to report, and Feng Xiuhu quickly stepped forward to listen.

This was shocking to hear. It turned out that the Water Control Bureau had arrived. They were confronting the rear of the Divine Guard Army and had blocked the way the church was coming.

The guard said, "Admiral Hong Shenghuo is leading the team personally and has sent the commander-in-chief over for questioning."

Officer Morgan turned and looked over.

Feng Xiuhu's eyelids jumped. "What are you looking at me for? My power has been taken away. The current supreme commander is Granshaw. You let him go."

Guard Officer Morgan cast a disdainful look at him. "We're at war with the Temple. Everyone in Fancheng knows it. The Water Control Division is neither deaf nor blind. Of course, they know you're the commander-in-chief, so they're looking for you. This is your duty, don't try to evade it."

This makes sense.

Feng Xiuhu rubbed his nose in frustration. "Let's see...someone, real or fake, dares to show off in front of our church?"

Mike had come up behind Feng Xiuhu at some point and whispered a warning, "Don't tell me, you really dare." Feng Xiuhu was stunned and led Mike along while asking, "Why would they dare? Isn't it said that in Xuan Country, temples and churches are more powerful than the President? The Water Control Bureau is under the President's jurisdiction, so how can they have more prestige than the President?"

"That's not the case."

Mike waved his hand and explained in a low voice, "The Great Xuan Army and the Water Control Division also give face to the temple, but this temple is not that temple - they only recognize one temple, and that is the Xijun Temple."

"You don't know that the soldiers in the Xuan Kingdom Army are all ordinary people who don't practice martial arts, but they are equipped with magical weapons and weapons, and these magical weapons all come from the Xijun Temple. In addition, the Xijun Temple also sends disciples to be placed in the Great Xuan Army and the Water Control Bureau, most of whom hold high positions."

"So, although the army belongs to the President, in other words, it is also a sword hanging over the heads of all cultivators in Xijun Temple."

Feng Xiuhu tasted something and said, "Then this Admiral Hong Shenghuo..."

Mike pursed his lips and nodded: "From Xijun Temple."

Walking out of the crowd, Feng Xiuhu saw the Zhenshui Division army confronting them.

They were wearing dark blue buttoned sailor uniforms, lined up with muskets in hand, and pointed their guns at the Holy Guards on this side.

In front of the crowd, an officer wearing a wide-brimmed military cap and a cloak was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Seeing Feng Xiuhu standing out from the crowd, the officer stopped and looked up.

His gaze lingered on Feng Xiuhu's clothes, and he hesitated for a moment—as if he couldn't quite believe that the church's chief commander was actually wearing a long gown and a top hat.

Feng Xiuhu calmly took out the badge and pinned it on his chest: "What's the matter?"

The officer raised his lips and smiled: "Mad bug?"

Feng Xiuhu smiled helplessly, pointed at him and said, "Don't force me to beat you."

The officer's expression froze for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "It's well-deserved."

Feng Xiuhu lost his patience: "If you have something to say, just say it. I still have to command the battle and don't have time to fight with you."

The officer didn't want to waste time talking to him, so he raised his hand and said, "I have something to ask you. Come with me."

After saying that, two bodyguards stepped forward to arrest the man.

Feng Xiuhu calmly took out his pocket watch and pressed the buckle.

The two bodyguards who came closer stopped where they were.

Feng Xiuhu took out his cigarettes and lighter again.

He held a cigarette between his lips and glared at the officer, "Do you understand? If you have something to say, just say it here. I don't have time to take a walk with you."

The officer stared at the lighter in Feng Xiuhu's hand, which was ready to ignite at any time: "Light one and try it."

Just give it a try, Feng Xiuhu is not afraid of anything.

He immediately pulled off the flint wheel.

chap!
I only heard the sound, but didn't even see any sparks.

The officer sneered, then took out a tin flat kettle from his trouser pocket, took off the lid and threw it into the air.

The flat pot was hanging in the air motionless. Feng Xiuhu was wondering what the officer was doing when he suddenly heard exclamations from the team behind him.

He looked back and was suddenly shocked.

All the flames on the street flew into the air, flew towards the flat pot, and rushed towards the mouth of the pot.

The flames continued, forming a vortex at the mouth of the pot. In less than a minute, they were completely absorbed, and there was no trace of fire on Guanmiao Street.

The flat pot fell and was easily caught in the officer's hand.

He lifted the brim of his hat and smiled faintly at Feng Xiuhu. "I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Hong Shenghuo, the admiral of the naval division of Fancheng Town Waterworks, and a disciple of Xijun Temple. Unfortunately, I'm dull and only recently entered the Barrier Breaking Realm."

PS: It’s just a small matter of one shot from the Shenwei cannon, not worth the admiral of the navy coming in person to arrest the person.
