The silk maiden almost suffered humiliation at the hands of the government officials, and she could no longer trust anyone from the government.
Of course, she had a little trust in Chu Shen and Luo Dang, who had saved her, but not much. After all, this group of people would kill even the government officials without hesitation. They were not good people.
As a commoner, she didn't understand all the grand principles. She just lived in fear in this world, which was already a difficult thing to do. Now that Chu Shen had issued such a warning, she dared not disbelieve.
She knew that these people were capable and troublemakers. They would kill even the government officials. What else would they not dare to do?
Since Chu Shen said such words, it meant that these people would really do something and it would affect her family.
How could a small family like hers withstand this?
Thinking of the sneers and malice of the officials in the past, she trembled all over. She immediately packed up her belongings and prepared to take her family away to hide, anything was better than waiting for death in place.
Chu Shen also knew that the silk maiden's family was innocent victims. He felt pity and provided some money to help them. After stopping their profuse thanks, he went upstairs and looked out of the window of the room facing the street, peering in the direction of the city gate.
There was a fleet of large, medium, and small airships slowly descending there.
Duke Qíguó Tuóbá Lì had arrived.
Faintly, the sound of drums and music could be heard coming from that direction. It should be the city lord and the official personnel welcoming them.
The ceremony of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty was cumbersome. After a while, the sound of drums from the direction of the city gate stopped, and he took out the fake eight-foot mirror to observe the situation there.
In the mirror projection, the massive procession of Duke Qiguo indeed passed through the city gate and slowly entered the city of Yongzhou, attracting the attention of the welcoming crowd.
Although the people on both sides of the main road were cheering, their faces were expressionless, reminding him of the scene when he led the people from Langxuan Heavenly Palace into Anyang Capital.
Hmm, it's "in the same vein" after all, but Yongzhou City is limited in its capabilities and is a bit smaller in scale, without the extravagance of silk flowers and luxurious trees.
He couldn't be bothered with the decadence of the upper and lower levels of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty. He slid the mirror and observed the situation on both sides of the main road.
Since Luo Dang and his group were causing trouble in Yongzhou City, there was nothing more influential than taking action at this moment. They were most likely hiding on both sides of the main road.
But did these people hide too well? He searched for a long time and couldn't find any clues.
Just then, the ground shook and a loud noise came, accompanied by flames and swirling black smoke.
B.....
Chu Shen blinked his eyes in surprise. If he wasn't mistaken, it was the northern arsenal of Yongzhou City.
"Heh, they still have some tricks up their sleeves. Diverting attention and luring the tiger away from the mountain!"
The arsenal was generally used to store weapons, armor, arrows, shields, and other military equipment. In Dongxuan Heaven, due to the existence of spiritual power technology, countries had developed weapons similar to guns and naturally had a certain amount of ammunition reserves.
The arsenal in Yongzhou City must have stored a certain amount of explosives. The explosion just now was most likely caused by these things being detonated.
The attack on the arsenal indeed affected the defense of Yongzhou City. In a fit of anger, the main official of Yongzhou dispatched most of his available men, even drawing a batch of people from Duke Deng's team to support the defense. As a result, the official teams on the main street became sparse.
But it didn't end there. After a while, a much smaller explosion came from the direction of the government office. Soon, someone arrived on a fast horse to report that the government office was under attack, and many officials and servants were injured. The buildings were also on fire and in need of support.
The official teams on the main street became even smaller.
Then, the granary, treasury, and private mansions of officials were attacked one after another, causing the main official of Yongzhou City to be extremely anxious.
He had invested a large number of manpower in welcoming Duke Qi, but faced with these continuous emergencies, he suddenly found himself overwhelmed.
Unfortunately, Duke Qi seemed to have sensed something. After initially dispatching two batches of people for support, he remained motionless, showing great vigilance.
After all, Tuoba Li was well aware of one thing: he had truly offended the Langxuan Heavenly Palace. Whether in terms of overt or potential strength, they were on par with a national immortal dynasty. His situation was not safe, and it was too coincidental, making it hard for him not to think that they were coming for him.
He guessed right.
As the important places of the government were attacked one after another, the official teams were frequently adjusted and unable to maintain order. The surrounding common people and merchants fled one after another, closing their doors and leaving the streets empty.
... Seeking flowers... 0
However, a group of people went against the flow and appeared from all directions, brandishing their blades at Duke Deng and his group.
The attendants responsible for guarding Duke Dengguo did not pay much attention to these people. Although there were over a hundred of them, after excluding the ceremonial guards and maidservants who were of little use in combat, there were still a hundred cavalry soldiers on our side, as well as three hundred infantry, bodyguards, and attendants. We had the advantage!
Not to mention that there was a large army stationed outside the city, which could rush into the city to support us in no time. How could we be afraid of these audacious assassins?
The commander of the hundred cavalry immediately ordered his subordinates to charge, ready to let the incoming enemies experience the impact of iron cavalry.
*Mo.....
Indeed, the assassins could not bring certain large equipment into the city for assassination, but they could carry specially made bombs, powerful talismans, and magical artifacts with special abilities! When these assassins themselves were not ordinary people, the effectiveness of their assassinations increased.
Another round of explosions. Although the elite troops under Duke Dengguo were mostly cultivators and equipped with excellent gear, they were unable to withstand the carefully prepared attacks from the enemy. Over half of the hundred cavalry were torn to pieces by explosives, and the rest were either injured or disabled.
They deserved it. In addition to underestimating the enemy, they didn't even form a proper formation. If they had formed a battle formation, they might not have ended up in such a miserable state.
Inside the carriage covered by a light veil, a figure suddenly stood up. It was probably Duke Dengguo getting angry. His personally trained cavalry had suffered such a big loss, which was truly unacceptable.
However, the defeat of the cavalry was only the beginning. The assassins became even more aggressive, roaring as they charged towards Duke Dengguo's group.
The ceremonial guards and maidservants, who had no real abilities and only served as a facade, immediately panicked and scattered. The personal guards, on the other hand, learned from the lesson and immediately formed a formation to engage the attacking assassins in close combat.
Explosions, screams, clashes of weapons... The main street of Yongzhou instantly turned into a bloody battlefield.
