Ruan Shantao's death was no less than a full-scale earthquake for Yanzhou City.
The towering trees that once stood in Ziyang Mountain, covering the entire Yanzhou, finally fell down, and the weeds that originally did not dare to come forward began to poke their heads out one after another and began to grow wildly.
First of all, there were the knife sellers wearing old cloth robes. They were the first to get the news. After confirming that the strongest man in Yanzhou had died in the assassination, these spies who were originally hiding in the dark came out in broad daylight. Walking down the street in the sun - before many passers-by could recover, a short blade appeared in their hands, and then a ferocious aura rushed directly into their minds, making their eyes red.
There will be revenge, there will be resentment, there will be chaos, and it is a good time for people to kill each other.
Yanzhou City's response was actually quite quick. The predators in charge of public security immediately started to take people away. At this time, the knife sellers who were surrounded by people simply took out their blades and cut them open. his own neck.
The falcons made of twisted flesh and blood spread their wings, and they screamed hoarsely, killing everything around them indiscriminately, pecking at any flesh and blood that could be devoured.
This makes them grow bigger and fight harder and braver.
"What a great bunch of falcons."
In the Governor's Mansion of Yanzhou, a prairie man wearing a fur coat heard the hawk's cry in the distance and couldn't help stroking his hands in admiration.
"So, Lord Governor, you should prepare to surrender in Kaicheng."
"Kaicheng surrender?"
On the throne, Qi Jinshan, the governor of Yanzhou, looked as sinking as water.
"Do you think this governor will surrender to Kaicheng and let you prairie people come in and torture the people?"
"You can't say that, Lord Governor, what we bring will only be a new order."
The prairie man shook his head and sighed.
"You should already know that the strongest person in Yanzhou, that poor old man, turned into a monster after all. If the Imperial Master hadn't taken action, Yanzhou would have been in ruins... And now, Yanzhou The city has become chaotic again. Besides the Imperial Master, who else can help you Yanzhou people put down this chaos? Can you count on those southerners?"
Saying this, the prairie man raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the south.
"Don't be stupid, Lord Governor. Just like you couldn't send troops to Jizhou back then, it's impossible for them to help you. After all, your southern court has been reducing the armed forces in Bianzhou a few years ago. Do you think they can What can I do to help you? Will I pay for it with my life?"
"you!"
Qi Jinshan, the governor of Yanzhou, stared angrily.
But he couldn't say anything to refute.
The truth is the sharpest blade, and everything the grassland messenger said actually hit the point of Yanzhou City and Dachen at the moment - indeed, just like what the grassland messenger said, Yanzhou is unlikely to usher in anything in a short time. reinforcements, and he, the governor of Yanzhou, is far less capable than Ruan Shantao, who can single-handedly suppress the terrifying strength of a state.
Not to mention himself, even if we look at the entire Yanzhou, I'm afraid I can't find such a person.
With only the combat power in his hands, he could barely maintain order in Yanzhou City, but the vanguard of the grassland army had already arrived in Jizhou - but this time it was not just the Qingyang tribe, but from the Qingyang tribe. The real elites from Mobei Royal Court came all the way.
In less than a day, Yanzhou City was already in danger.
Surrender seems to have really become the most rational decision.
This is the last road left by the enemy, the safest road.
I don't know when a complete set of arrangements had been made, but a sudden attack caused chaos in the whole city in one day. Facing such an enemy, Yanzhou Governor Qi Jinshan could not see any chance of winning.
"My national master said that the governor is a smart man and should know how to choose."
After saying that, the grassland messenger took out a copper whistle and blew it hard.
Hounds as big as horses ran into the streets. These red-eyed dogs have become ferocious monsters. They bite every living person in sight, and their sharp teeth can easily chew Break hard bones.
They didn't eat only heads, so among the heads rolling on the ground, there were painful wails everywhere.
"Sorry, I blew the wrong whistle."
Listening to the wails coming from outside and the roars of the hounds, the Prairie Messenger took out another bone whistle.
"It should be this..."
"enough!"
Seeing the giant human-faced eagle flying over the Governor's Mansion, with a pair of bird's claws even holding a half-mutilated corpse, Yanzhou Governor Qi Jinshan finally gritted his teeth.
"I……"
Buzz——
Fierce firelight lit up the sky.
The giant human-faced eagle flying in mid-air was completely opened from the middle. It was still pecking at half of the body just now, but now it also turned into two halves.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a buzzing sound, the blazing fire drew an arc in place.
A moment later, half of the wall at the gate of the Governor's Mansion collapsed, along with the upper bodies of more than ten hounds.
"..."
In the governor's mansion, Qi Jinshan and the grassland messenger looked at each other.
"Whose general is that?"
Taking a deep breath, Qi Jinshan called his soldiers.
"Why have I never heard of such a brave man before?"
"That's our Ordnance Master."
The soldiers who were summoned reported in a low voice.
"It must be him. After all, the horse and the knife are very conspicuous."
"...Would you wait a moment?"
Qi Jinshan was confused for a while.
He knew the Chief of Ordnance, but in his impression, the drunkard named Liu Bolun did nothing but drink every day. But now... is that drunkard so brave?
"Uh, not Mr. Liu."
Hearing Qi Jinshan's doubts, the soldiers who were called felt a little embarrassed.
"Didn't Mr. Liu seal the gold seal and run into the mountains? This is Mr. Du from Jizhou. He is not originally from our side. They forced others to persuade him to come down..."
"Okay! Well done! Well done!"
Qi Jinshan immediately put his hands on his hands and laughed.
Then, he turned to look at the grassland messenger on the side.
"You barbarian, what did you say just now?"
"... Just one person can't change anything."
The grassland messenger tightened his grip on the knife in his hand.
"Master Governor, don't forget that Ruan Shantao..."
Before he finished speaking, the hand holding the knife in the prairie messenger's hand had already flown up.
One sword cut off the grassland messenger's arm, and Qi Jinshan's second sword cut directly across the grassland messenger's throat.
"Want to become a monster like those men in black? Haha."
With a sneer, Qi Jinshan held the blood-stained sword and stepped over the corpse of the grassland messenger.
"Send the order! Let everyone move! Clear out the thieves in the city!"
With a sword in hand, Qi Jinshan was in high spirits.
Yes, in the past, there was a famous person named Ruan Shantao who was in charge of Yanzhou. He, the governor of Yanzhou, had almost no sense of existence at all.
But now that Ruan Shantao is no longer here, he will naturally do what Ruan Shantao failed to do.
Even better than what Ruan Shantao did.
After all, he is the real person in charge of Yanzhou.
