Walking in this lonely city, it didn't take Pei Wende long to find the location of the Governor's Mansion.
Of course, this is not because Pei Wende is very familiar with the layout of Runcheng, but because the location of the Governor's Mansion is too eye-catching.
Just like a mansion built in a civilian area, Pei Wende just kept walking along the Central Avenue and saw the mansion protected by soldiers.
However, the strange thing is that both the eye-catching mansion and the soldiers guarding the area have an inhuman quality.
The dullness that is incompatible with the surrounding environment is like reminding outsiders that this mansion is not normal.
"These controlled people...are actually well-trained active-duty soldiers?"
Glancing at the soldiers responsible for guarding, Pei Wende had a vague feeling in his heart.
Since ancient times, the "integration of military and political affairs" in local government has been a taboo for rulers. Although the governors of the Tang Dynasty held high and powerful positions, there were very few who could truly control military power.
And those local governments that have mastered military power are the "powers of vassal towns" that the central court is most afraid of.
Generally speaking, this kind of separatist situation of vassal towns will only appear in the border areas where the central control is weak, which is the so-called Heshuo Three Towns and Mobei outside the Great Wall.
A place like Runzhou, which combines economy, transportation, and even the characteristics of a land of plenty, would not be allowed to have the power of a separate vassal town.
This can be seen from the people who served as the governor of Renzhou.
Li Yude, the prime minister during the Wuzong period of the Tang Dynasty, served as the governor of Runzhou for seven years, and was eventually promoted to the central government as prime minister because of this achievement.
But now, the guards Pei Wende saw were clearly professionally trained active soldiers.
"This city has been controlled by monsters..."
Thinking of the whispers of the two guards at the city gate, Pei Wende suddenly understood.
To be honest, Pei Wende has seen a lot since he started practicing. He has also seen a lot of various monsters, ghosts, and heretics.
But he has never seen such an arrogant guy who controls a city so openly and replaces government functions in all aspects.
"It seems that our previous questions have been answered."
Xiaoqing's voice came out from Pei Wende's collar at the right time, and this time it seemed particularly serious.
"The Qintian Prison here has been uprooted a long time ago, and not even a little useful news has been spread."
Yangzhou is not too far from Runzhou, but the officials there seem to be unaware of what is happening in Runzhou.
Or to be more precise, Yangzhou may be aware of the food crisis in Runzhou, but they do not know the real cause of all this.
"Anyway, the final result is a lot more convenient for us."
While he was talking, Pei Wende had already approached the strange mansion and the soldiers with dull expressions.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Clang!
Facing Pei Wende's approach, the soldiers responsible for guarding the house did not react as normal humans should.
It wasn't until Pei Wende had stepped on the stone steps to the main gate that two soldiers pulled out the steel knives in their hands and stood in front of him.
"..."
No words, no words needed...
The two soldiers with dull expressions were still looking straight ahead, but their unabashed intimidation was enough to scare away any normal human being.
It's a pity that Pei Wende obviously does not belong to the category of normal human beings.
——Shen Zutong·Shrink the ground into an inch!
With just a flicker of his figure, Pei Wende appeared out of thin air behind the two soldiers.
After attaining the mastery of Divine Foot Power, whether it is turning a thousand miles of distance under his feet, "shrinking the earth into an inch", or making a small area feel like the end of the world, "being so close to the end of the world", for Pei Wende, it is just a matter of thought.
A mere two soldiers were not enough to cause any hindrance to Pei Wende.
What Pei Wende wants to know more than these two soldiers who have their minds controlled is what happened in the governor's house?
"Drink!"xn
However, just when Pei Wende was about to enter the governor's mansion further, the soldiers behind him suddenly roared in unison.
The next second, the soldiers whose minds had been controlled threw out the long knives in their hands, turned around and slashed at Pei Wende with fierce expressions.
Clang!
The sword at his waist was unsheathed, and Pei Wende first cut off the swords of the two nearest soldiers with a horizontal slash.
Then, before other soldiers could rush over, Pei Wende decisively turned his blade and knocked the two soldiers unconscious with the back of his blade.
"You want to force me to go on a killing spree?"
Seeing through the thoughts of the person behind the scenes at a glance, Pei Wende just smiled disdainfully, and then slashed out with the sword in his hand again.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Accompanied by waves of crisp sounds of gold and iron, the soldiers who rushed forward were "disarmed" by Pei Wende in the simplest and crudest way before they even formed an effective encirclement.
On the other hand, the Jie Dao in Pei Wende's hand did not show the slightest trace of collision even though it collided head-on with so many steel knives.
But it's not surprising when you think about it. After all, Pei Wende has devoted himself to blacksmithing for so many years.
For him, ordinary steelmaking is already the most basic material in the forging process.
The pure Yang fire of the most powerful Yang, coupled with all kinds of knowledge and wisdom from later generations...
Pei Wende did not use aerospace-grade titanium alloy to forge weapons, but he already valued the weapons of this era.
Not to mention, Pei Wende is different from those practitioners who focus on practicing magical powers. He follows the rare path of "integration of magic and martial arts", and his understanding of martial arts is not inferior to his magical powers.
Adding the two together, these professionally trained soldiers had no time to exert their powerful attributes as "humanoid weapons" before they were knocked unconscious by Pei Wende.
"I want to see what the hell is causing trouble in the world."
After the commotion subsided, Pei Wende did not put the sword back into its sheath, but turned around and looked at the mansion behind him.
tumultuous!
Between the lightning and flint, Pei Wende's third eye between his brows suddenly opened.
Under this eye that can see through all evil spirits, the evil spirits in the mansion could no longer be hidden, but spewed out from the lobby like a volcano.
Coupled with the black evil energy that spread throughout Runzhou City, a terrifying aura of approaching storm arose spontaneously.
