Rumors can spread very quickly at any time, anywhere, as long as there are people.
In just a few days, the news spread over dozens of kilometers around the canal construction site.
For this reason, many brave people secretly came to the vicinity.
As some people said, although Tang Ping sounds scary, he protects his shortcomings!
If you want to follow someone to do things, what kind of person is best to follow?
It means following people who protect their shortcomings, especially those who have the ability to protect their shortcomings.
If you follow such people, your safety will be more guaranteed.
So they all wanted to see who was more powerful, Tang Ping, the so-called Death God of the Tang Dynasty, or Anubis, the Egyptian God of Death.
If Tang Ping wins, it would be good to work with him in the future.
After all, the salary offered at this canal construction site is indeed quite high. As long as a person works here honestly and is not lazy, in addition to the three meals a day that the workers themselves can eat here, they can also earn food for at least two people.
This means that if one person works and a family of three does not go hungry.
After Tang Ping spread the rumor, he was not idle either. Since he wanted to do something about it, he had to make it bigger.
When Li Jing withdrew his troops, he left some Tang Shenwei cannons in several important cities on Bozhou Road to intimidate the resurgent countries nearby.
He directly asked people to dismantle six gates from the nearest city, and then pulled them down on the canal construction site.
Tang Ping even printed many banners and flags written in local languages.
It read: "Dong Pingguo of the Tang Dynasty officially issued a challenge to Lord Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of death."
"I will destroy your idol, and kill me if you can!"
Such provocative words were used everywhere by him.
These are not only for the people who come to watch, but also for the people behind the scenes.
He knew that the person behind the scenes must be very anxious, because once he destroyed the statue of Anubis and he was still alive and kicking, his plan to use the statue of Anubis to prevent the construction of the canal would have failed.
But after waiting for a few days, the man seemed to be quite patient and never showed up.
Therefore, Tang Pingping didn't wait much after the Tang Shenwei cannon was delivered. He just pulled the cannon and headed towards the Anubis statue in the river on a sunny morning.
"No, you can't destroy the statue of Lord Anubis!"
Along the way, in addition to spectators, there were also some locals who believed in gods from ancient Egyptian mythology, kneeling on the ground and shouting.
Tang Ping smiled and said loudly to them: "I just think he is bluffing, so I want to challenge him. If he is true, he will naturally come and take my heart. Just wait and see."
After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and said to Datang's gunner: "Get ready!"
At this distance, these gunners didn't need to aim, they just pointed the muzzle at the half-exposed Anubis statue.
"put!"
These artillery pieces are reloadable guns similar to the French cannon. After one shot is fired, the rear one is replaced immediately and another shot is fired.
The six artillery pieces roared like the Chinese New Year, firing shells at the statue one after another.
After a few shots, the statue was blasted with cracks, and then began to be blasted bit by bit.
Tang Ping didn't stop. He didn't stop until all the artillery shells were fired and the barrels were hot. At this time, everyone looked over and saw that the statue was long gone, and the nearby soil was also filled with craters from shells.
Tang Ping stood up and said, "I'm just waiting for Lord Anubis to come to me now!"
In order to prevent the people behind him from using dirty tricks, he also kept the gunners this time, and then transferred a team of people to a separate military camp and lived in it.
Now that you know it's someone doing the trick, just do a better job of defense.
In this way, every day Tang Ping would go around the construction site during the day to show that nothing was wrong with him.
After five or six days, everyone saw that Tang Ping was still alive and kicking, and some believed that Tang Ping had defeated Anubis.
Others doubt that Anubis does not exist at all.
No matter which one it is, these workers finally dare to come to work.
First, under Tang Ping's command, they dug out the remaining stone legs of the statue buried in the soil and threw them aside.
At this time, they were basically no longer afraid of Anubis.
Tang Ping watched all this and called Lao Cui over: "Starting tonight, we will keep an eye on the workers' dormitories."
Lao Cui was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and whispered: "Master, are you afraid that that person will attack the workers again?"
"That's right!" Tang Ping nodded and said, "I made our camp defense so tight just to make him feel like he couldn't find a chance."
"And I deliberately didn't arrange any guards for these workers, so that person would still want to attack these workers. As long as two or three more workers die, then these workers will naturally feel that even if Anubis doesn't dare Harm me, but it’s still easy to harm them.”
"In that case, our canal will not be dug again."
"Yes, I understand." Lao Cui nodded: "Don't worry, young master, I will call Rengui to help us later, and the construction site will be secured."
With drones and Xue Rengui's sniper rifle, it is not difficult for them to monitor the nearby construction site dormitory.
And just as Tang Ping expected, around three o'clock in the evening, several figures moved towards the construction site dormitory.
Lao Cui reported to Tang Ping and led people to surround him.
Through the crack in the window, he saw a man about to attack the workers in the dormitory. Lao Cui shouted, pushed open the window, raised his hand and shot him with a crossbow.
The man didn't even see the guard when he came. Unexpectedly, when he was about to take action, the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind him was interrupted by Lao Cui.
A crossbow arrow was accurately inserted into his wrist, causing him to let out a scream, and then everyone who followed Lao Cui also took action.
The few people who came in were quickly caught.
At this time, other workers in the construction site dormitory were also awakened and went out to see what was going on.
Tang Ping also walked over slowly at this time. When he saw the few people who were caught, he smiled and said to the workers: "It seems that Lord Anubis does not dare to deal with you, so he sent his envoys to find you. ah."
These workers were shocked when they heard that these captured people were the envoys of Lord Anubis.
Subconsciously, I wanted to hide, but then I thought about it, hadn't Tang Ping caught all of this? So I stayed here out of curiosity.
Lao Cui and the others carried several workers out of the room, but they were still sleeping soundly after the commotion.
