It turns out that the so-called chief catchers and those with military background also view ordinary people in the same way, thinking that they are targets that can be sacrificed when nothing can be done.
Pei Mengqing turned to look at Zhang Guangyi and Dongfang Mingfu.
"What about you, what do you two think? Are you like him, claiming to be an elite, so do you think that as long as you live, even if all the people in the county are killed, it is worth it?"
Dongfang Mingfu shook his head:
"No, I never think so. It's just that I really don't have the ability to save the people, so I can only say nothing. After all, my family and Mr. Zhang Guangyi's family are also protected by this protective shield..."
After hearing this, Dongfang Xiaoyu didn't know what to say. Reason told her that her father was right. Her own parents relied on this thing to protect themselves.
But the justice in her heart told her that Pei Mengqing was right.
Seemingly sensing her hesitation, Pei Mengqing added:
"If this guy wasn't afraid of death and insisted on coming over to join us, no one would know our location, and your parents' safety would not be threatened for the time being."
As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Xiaoyu became even more determined. It was originally the chief catcher's fault.
Unexpectedly, the chief catcher, Wang Yuanbai, smiled contemptuously and shook his head:
"It is a good thing for young people to want to save the world and to have justice in their hearts. But everything can only be done according to one's ability. If you only think about achieving temporary success and satisfying the trivial desires in your heart, you will ruin your life. Even if you live for a hundred years, it will last a long time. "
"Cynical words, cowardly behavior can be so grand in your mouth. I didn't know that you were born in the military. Could it be that all of you who were born in the military are as virtuous as you?"
Pei Mengqing was tit for tat and never backed down.
The sorcerers of Tianmeng Pavilion who were isolated outside the wall dispersed when they saw that they were falling into internal strife.
After the Tianmeng Pavilion Warlock left, things did not turn around. Dongfang Xiaoyu's plan of "pretending to deceive the Tianmeng Pavilion Warlock by pretending to be internal strife" was not implemented.
The conflict between Pei Mengqing and Wang Yuanbai also exists.
"Those who know the current affairs are heroes; those who are poor are good for themselves; those who are rich are those who help the world. I have never heard of anyone who has to save others even when he is in trouble."
Wang Yuanbai spread his hands and said that Pei Mengqing was just a mantis mantis who didn't know how to cherish life and was just a young man with a hot head.
With eyes almost bursting with fire, Pei Mengqing held her hand on the hilt of the sword several times. Finally, she cursed a few times, called Xiaori and Juju, and prepared to leave and find a way to break the situation on her own.
"Wait, I'm going with you too!"
Seeing that one person and two cats were about to leave, Dongfang Xiaoyu broke free from her father's wrist.
"Xiaoyu!" Xiaoyu's mother cried out sadly.
It's so dangerous outside now. If you can survive, why should you die with countless people you don't know?
Xiaoyu turned around, with wet eyes, looking at Pei Mengqing and the two orange cats, and then at her parents with white temples.
It had only been a few days since I came back, but now I was heading into darkness, with an uncertain future.
She slowly knelt down on the ground, saluted her parents, and said:
"If my daughter can't come back to fulfill her filial piety, please forgive me. My daughter also has something to do."
After that, he stood up, turned around, followed Pei Mengqing and the two orange cats out of the small courtyard, and automatically left the protection of the formation.
Dongfang Mingfu stepped forward and grabbed Wang Yuanbai's arm:
"Captain, is there nothing you can do? Can't you, can't you expand this formation?"
Wang Yuanbai was a military attaché. Another Xuanqi-level master broke away with just one click:
"Master Dongfang, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. These brothers under me also need to live. I can't make irresponsible decisions regardless of their lives."
Afterwards, Wang Yuanbai gave the order to transmit energy to the energy shield at any time, and politely found a side room to rest.
Zhang Guangyi and the others also understood that they and others were under military control. If they wanted to survive, they could only hide in this turtle shell and watch their savior go out and die.
Alas, why have things returned to this state?
He just wants to be an ordinary official who makes some contribution to the people's livelihood!
It’s just that the wishes in this world always come true, and what you want is always unattainable.
…
After leaving the small courtyard, the two of them thought for a while and simply went to the branch of the Yecheng wine shop to stay.
The situation there is special, so maybe you can stay there for the time being and think about the final way to break the situation.
By the way, it also allows Pei Mengqing to practice and recuperate.
The people at Xingyi Boxing Gym actually accepted the "recruitment" and expressed their willingness to contribute.
Pei Mengqing took out a smooth glass jar from her pocket. Inside, there was a snail with tentacles that were constantly moving, as if it were gathering energy.
"Then, let's see what the man at the Gate of Nothingness has to say."
He smashed the glass jar to see if this snail, which was obviously parasitized by evil spirits, could summon the person from the Gate of Nothingness.
Now a reliable teammate, Pei Mengqing found that she could only think of that person.
The ship is going to sink, so it doesn't matter if you seek skin from a tiger.
The snail fell into the fragments of the glass jar, its tentacles still emitting a halo of light, and kept squirming until it was on the ground, scratched by the glass fragments, and bleeding.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a figure appeared on the wall in the backyard of the wine shop.
The figure is covered in a white robe and looks like someone wearing sackcloth to express mourning, which is an unlucky sight.
"I thought you had given up struggling." The man from Gate of Nothingness said with a chuckle as soon as he appeared.
"You guys from these organizations all like to step on the courtyard wall when you go on stage?"
Pei Mengqing complained directly.
After hearing this, the man simply jumped down from the wall:
"Okay, so, how many formations have you found and confirmed?"
"Master Jia's house, the two sections of city wall in the south and north of the city, Yuanshan Road and Fengzhang Road all have a formation." Pei Mengqing said the formation that he had verified.
These five places were provided by Wang Yuanbai. Unexpectedly...
"Very good. I have verified the distribution of Zhaojialou in the center of the city, the mill in the west of the city, and the tofu shop in the east of the city."
"What's your name?" Pei Mengqing asked.
The man from the Gate of Nothingness chuckled again:
"Names should not be given lightly. Call me Lao Li."
"Okay, then, I would like to ask Lao Li, is it enough to destroy these eight formations?"
Lao Li shook his head and said:
"According to my guess, there are at least nine formations. We were lucky enough to find the other eight. There should be one central formation left. Only by destroying it can we completely destroy Tianmeng Pavilion's plan."
As he spoke, he took out a map of Liangzhou County from his arms, with the urban areas and streets simply drawn on it, and three places on it had already been marked.
Now he took out the charcoal stick as a pen, drew circles in the five places Pei Mengqing mentioned, looked at them for a while, and then pointed somewhere:
"If my guess is correct, the core formation should be here."
