The pavilions and pavilions are antique.
It is different from the frozen polar regions with ice and snow outside the city.
Zhongli Chan's residence is elegant and solemn. The temperature in the room is not only moderate, but there is also a faint scent of sandalwood floating in the air.
"Tea."
Sit upright in the main seat.
Zhongli Chan was extremely polite. In addition to the silent Zhongli Mei, there was also Xie Anbang who was beaten by Xue Yun's dragon breath on the tower and vomited blood.
Two of the "Three Heroes of Dog City" have already appeared.
In Xue Yun's opinion, although the strength of these two people was good, they were just a little more tyrannical than ordinary night watchmen.
Facing the real strong men from all walks of life in this era, their little methods are simply not worth mentioning.
"The Lord Protector is coming to the Dog City. I hope you'll forgive me for not being able to welcome you from afar..."
Pick up the tea cup on the table.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Lord of "Dog City" smiled, offered tea instead of wine, raised his head and drank first in respect, which could be said to have given Xue Yun enough face.
There was a pause.
Turning to look at the two silent people on the side, Zhong Lizhan said in a deep voice: "You two are ignorant of the truth. You dared to attack the Lord Protector. Why don't you apologize to him quickly!"
Old... old man? !
I couldn't help but feel surprised.
With a casual word, Xue Yun's seniority was immediately higher than the two of them, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Hear the words.
The two of them had to stand up, saluted Xue Yun in unison, and said in unison: "I hope the Lord Protector will forgive me..."
"Don't worry, sit down quickly."
He waved his hands quickly.
Xue Yun grinned, shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty. What's more, now that the army of the Principality of Aisha is pressing on the border, as the backbone of the defense force, you should be more careful."
Seeing that their faces were turning blue, their expressions were even more embarrassing.
Xue Yun burst into laughter for a moment, really not knowing how to ease the embarrassment.
Especially Xie Anbang, who was dressed in black. It was obvious that he had not had time to deal with the injury he had just suffered, and was pulled over by Zhong Lizhan to keep him company. Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he might faint at any time on the spot.
"Then again..."
The conversation changed.
Xue Yun found the steps and said, "I just struck too hard, so you two just don't take offense."
"Why don't you quickly thank the Lord Protector?!"
His face was solemn.
Zhong Lizhan was serious about his words and scolded in a deep voice: "If he hadn't been merciful, you two would have been crippled long ago. How could you still be sitting here with your life? You just don't know what to say!"
It was a severe rebuke at the head.
The two young men, a man and a woman, were silent and had no choice but to sit down angrily, not daring to show any temper.
A few people exchanged pleasantries.
Zhong Lizhan, who was sitting on the throne, finally couldn't hold himself back and asked proactively: "I wonder how many people the Lord Protector brought to my 'Dog City' this time?"
"Well......"
Startled slightly.
Xue Yun silently twitched the corner of his mouth and blurted out: "It's just me."
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone present stopped moving and looked at Xue Yun with doubts and confusion in their eyes.
"A person, this..."
Frowning.
Zhongli Chan hesitated when he saw a young master sent by Longdu, holding the legendary "Guo Zhen Order" in his hand. He also subconsciously believed that this was reinforcements sent by the Daxia Empire.
But the final result was a huge disappointment.
“City Lord Zhongli, I’m afraid I’ve misunderstood.”
He shrugged helplessly.
Xue Yun did not shy away and said bluntly: "I came to Dog City this time to rescue my companions, so I didn't bring any soldiers."
There was sudden silence in the entire attic.
The air was filled with a heavy and desperate atmosphere, and even the servants who were responsible for waiting on the side couldn't help but feel that their spirits were waning.
"So, that's it..."
He gripped the armrests of the chair tightly.
Zhong Lizhan smiled bitterly, trying his best to control the relatively complicated mood in his heart.
In fact, if you think about it a little more, everything makes sense.
As the saying goes, the icing on the cake is often there, but the icing on the cake is rare.
In the current turbulent environment, without any profit or benefit, who would mobilize so many troops and send troops thousands of miles away to rescue an unrelated city on the border?
"It's okay, no problem..."
Get up silently.
Zhong Lizhan put down his tea cup and said with a wry smile: "In that case, Lord Protector can do as he pleases. The city is busy with official affairs, so I will not continue to accompany you."
Seeing this all-powerful prince looking disappointed.
Xue Yun hesitated for a long time, but finally did not ask him for help. After all, the other party was in such a situation that he could not protect himself, so how could he have any spare energy to help him find someone.
Everyone was getting ready to disperse.
The floor in the attic suddenly trembled inexplicably.
Buzz…
next moment--
The dull buzzing sound was endless, and all the surrounding furnishings and furniture were trembling. The fine dust on the ground was uncontrollable for a while, and strangely floated into the air.
"What's going on?" Zhong Lizhan asked in a deep voice.
I also felt stunned.
Xie Anbang looked at the ground and couldn't help but said: "The whole 'Dog City' is shaking..."
Frowning.
Xue Yun stood up slowly, turned around and looked at the towering city wall in the distance outside the attic. A ray of golden light suddenly shot out from his eyes, penetrating most of the fortress city in an instant.
"Biological restriction lock, golden laziness..."
With Zhong Lizhan's exclamation, the other two people discovered the real gap between them and Xue Yun.
Although they are also members of the younger generation of Night Watchmen, the gap in combat power is as insurmountable as a chasm.
Xue Yun's current strength has long been considered top-notch in the Daxia Empire.
Even the many old monsters who have been hiding in the world for decades can only barely equal it at best.
"It's the Night Watch Legion of the Principality of Aisha."
With the "Reincarnation of Eyes" activated, Xue Yun's vision was clear.
Straight through the layers of wind, snow and fog, at a glance, all movements can be clearly perceived wherever the eyes are, even several kilometers away.
"They are manipulating a special kind of freak. They want to dig an underground tunnel, bypass the outer city wall defense system, and directly attack the core area of 'Dog City'!"
Hear the words.
Everyone's faces were filled with shock.
The ground underfoot continued to shake, and almost everyone in the city was awakened by the huge movement.
The people in the city still don't know that a huge disaster is spreading from deep underground.
"City Lord, they must be stopped immediately!" Xie Anbang shouted.
Stunned in place.
At this critical moment, Zhong Lizhan fell into a long silence.
The enemy at this moment is several kilometers away. If you want to interrupt their crazy behavior, the only way is to go out of the city to fight.
However, due to the lack of soldiers, "Dog City" did not dare to dispatch manpower easily.
Once the sniper battle fails, the national night watchmen responsible for defense in the city will also face the embarrassing situation of being sparse in number.
This is a conspiracy set by the enemy.
The purpose is to make Zhong Lizhan suffer from enemies from both sides, and he can only choose to fight with the opponent in a fierce street battle in the fortress city to determine the outcome.
"Father, what are you still hesitating about? I will lead my men to rush over and kill these damn beasts!"
Say it.
The impulsive Zhongli Mei turned around and was about to leave.
"Stop!"
A loud roar.
He drank violently to stop his wayward daughter, and Zhong Lizhan said solemnly: "No one is allowed to act rashly without my order."
Take a deep breath.
The middle-aged man in front of him gritted his teeth and muttered: "I have decided to retain my strength. All the city defense troops moved to the city center and formed a group of five combat units to engage in street battles with the night watchmen of the Principality of Aisha in the city. .....”
He raised his head and glanced at everyone.
Blue veins popped up on Zhong Lizhan's forehead, and he said in a cold voice: "After dawn, it's time to finally see the truth!"
At an absolute disadvantage.
The isolated "Dog City" can only win this battle by gathering all its forces and making a desperate move.
"Even if you want to fight with the water, you don't have to do this."
He moved his neck.
Looking down at the vast streets and alleys below, Xue Yun took a deep breath and sighed softly: "If you arrange a team of a thousand people for me, maybe I can help you get rid of those beasts that have burrowed into the ground."
