This is considered a somewhat valuable piece of information.
But it's only of some value.
Li Er is completely unclear about the deeper things.
Li Er knew everything and said that he had witnessed with his own eyes that after a bunch of strange people entered the store diagonally across the street, not long after, the head of the owner of the store was thrown out, and the pile of strange people No one came out.
He also wanted to survive, so naturally he didn't dare to show off, for fear that one day he would be targeted by those strange people.
Li Er rubbed his hands and said, "Young heroes, I know from the looks of you that you are good people. It's too dangerous here. It's still too late to run away now."
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Aren't you going to run?"
Li Er smiled bitterly and shook his head.
run?
Where could he run to?
He is just an ordinary person who managed to open a store and make a living. Who knew things would turn out like this.
He would rather die in this store than run away. Running means starting from scratch. For an ordinary person, starting from scratch requires courage. He doesn't have the courage yet.
With the little information given by Li Er, Gu Xiaotian and others left and continued patrolling the streets.
The goal was of course to go to the store diagonally opposite. The door of this store was closed. I pulled it outside and found that it was not locked.
Anyway, they were already pulled apart, and even if it was Xiao Zai Xin, the sound would definitely alarm the people in the room. Gu Xiaotian did not hesitate and entered the room directly.
There was indeed blood stains in this room, but the strange people Li Er mentioned were not seen.
Duan Peng found a trace of burning in the corner, and when he peeled it open, there were some gloomy white bones. He murmured: "It seems that the corpse was destroyed."
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Why do you want to destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces?"
If it is true as Li Er said, then the people living on this street should be some ordinary men with not outstanding looks, just trying to make a living. There is no need for the Quanwuhui to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces, and killing them is just a matter of life. killed.
This seems a bit deliberate.
Duan Peng didn't know their purpose. If this was a cover-up, it would be too childish. Could it be that they regarded the people of the Four Alliances as fools?
There must be a reason for the destruction of corpses, but what the reason is is currently unknown.
In one afternoon, Gu Xiaotian visited the shops in most of the streets. Some shops were full of blood and burned bones, while some shops were lucky enough to escape and encountered normal people like Li Er. people.
What they said was roughly the same.
It’s just that he’s not good-looking, so he’s begging for food here. Because he’s afraid and has no courage, he doesn’t dare to run away. He’s showing off his talents, building darkrooms, and digging secret passages. If there’s any slightest sign of trouble, he’ll be there immediately. Will hide. .
Gu Xiaotian asked about the original owners of those shops, and these people were the same in their mouths. They were ordinary people who could not be compared to ordinary people.
This is a bit strange.
If they were a bunch of ordinary people, why should they all be destroyed?
Even if you kill him, there will be no consequences. Doing so will only make people more suspicious.
It was as if he was announcing to the world that the All-Martial Arts Association was here.
Duan Peng thought: "Perhaps, that's it. It's not destroying corpses for the sake of destroying traces, but declaring, or calling it a declaration of war."
Gu Xiaotian was shocked. If war was really declared, it would be a big deal.
If a whole building declares war, the whole of East Vietnam will become a sea of blood.
Moreover, Dongyue's defense cannot be considered strict. Only Shangguan Hong and her women's army are in the battle. At most, there is Tianxiang Valley. If there is a real fight, it will be completely unbeatable.
What's more, the situation now is the same as before.
Our side is in the light and the enemy is in the dark.
The few clues that can be grasped are mostly shadows, but they have not been confirmed. It is impossible to estimate how many the other party sent.
What kind of strength do people have?
Returning to Shangguanhong's compound, Gu Xiaotian truthfully reported his findings.
Shangguan Hong said disapprovingly: "If we really want to declare war, just come and save us the time to go find it."
Gu Xiaotian hesitated and said: "Leader Shangguan, if we really fight, our chances of winning will be very low."
Shangguan Hong rolled his eyes. Otherwise, Gu Xiaotian was still a little kid. How could he gain the momentum of others and destroy his own before the battle even started?
"If you are afraid of death, you can leave now."
Gu Xiaotian shook his head, "Leader Shangguan, we are not afraid of death. If a fight really breaks out, I will definitely rush to the front. But after all, there are so many people here, and there are so many disciples from Tianxiang Valley behind them. They cannot suffer any consequences because of us. harm."
Shangguan Hong looked cold. It was not that she had not considered these issues, but war was war, and deaths were common.
In her early years, why didn't she want to protect everyone?
But the result told her that all this was just a dream.
The only thing that can be done is to solve the problem from the root. As long as the opponent is completely defeated and the force is suppressed and eliminated, those who died can also rest in peace under Jiuquan.
"I don't need you to teach me how to do it. If we really want to talk about official positions, you are just a hall leader, and I am the deputy leader. What's more, this is on my territory of Tianwang Continent. Even if Qu Xiaohan is Even if the leader is here, he can’t just point fingers.”
The words had been made very clear. Shangguan Hong did not stay any longer. Instead, he walked outside the house and shouted loudly: "Everyone, be prepared to fight from today on!"
Without any persuasion, Gu Xiaotian had to resign angrily.
The rest can only be led by Shangguan Hong.
After completing what Shangguanhong told them, Gu Xiaotian and his party returned to Tianxiang Valley.
Shangguan Hong is a must-win in this battle.
Although Gu Xiaotian was very reluctant because it would affect many people, he had to admit that war is so cruel.
Qu Xiaohan didn't have many ideas after hearing what Gu Xiaotian said.
Sometimes, even if you want to, you can't.
...
Today's East Vietnam is not peaceful.
In the early morning, a large number of women packed their bags at home and pulled carriages out of the city one after another.
This is what Shangguan Hong ordered. He didn't know when the enemy would attack, so he took advantage of this gap to send out as many people as he could. Of course, it was all voluntary. Those who wanted to survive could leave. If those If you don't want to leave, don't force it.
But in fact, there are not many people leaving the city. Most of them are outsiders who have lived in East Vietnam for a few years and have no special feelings for East Vietnam. Since they could give up everything at that time, they can naturally give up their lives now in order to survive. Everything about East Vietnam.
On the contrary, the aboriginal people in East Vietnam are reluctant to leave. They have lived here for decades, and if they suddenly tell them to leave, they are afraid that no one will be able to accept it.
Even though Shangguan Hong had repeatedly promised that he would only leave the city briefly and come back after the storm was over, they were unwilling to leave.
Get used to being comfortable.
To put it more seriously, just like Li Er, they don't have the courage to start all over again.
Qu Xiaohan had just sent Xiaocai into the forest and was strolling back to the city gate. When he saw Shangguan Hong persuading her seriously, he patted her on the shoulder and shook his head at her.
"It's useless if you do this. They won't leave."
Shangguan Hong was disdainful. He was the deputy leader of the alliance and this place was under the jurisdiction of Tianwang Continent. He didn't give it a good look and said: "Leader Qu, it's not your turn to intervene in what I do."
Qu Xiaohan did not argue with Guan Hong. She also knew that Shangguan Hong was a person who accepted death and was very stubborn.
This time, she had something else to do.
Qu Xiaohan asked: "I won't interfere in your territory, but after all, there is going to be a war. How many of your women's army can go to the battlefield?"
Shangguan Hong did not fight against Qu Xiaohan, after all, it was a matter of war.
Private is private, public is public.
"Excluding the logistics and intelligence departments, there are about fifty people."
Qu Xiaohan frowned slightly.
Just fifty people?
They are still all women’s soldiers.
Let's put aside the strength first. Each branch of the All-Martial Arts Association has as many as fifty people, and the two branches combined have hundreds of people. After all, siege is not a trivial matter, just with a Jinyu Tower Can we capture the city? There will definitely be a lot of foreign aid. These fifty women's soldiers are afraid that they will be shot to death by random arrows as soon as they take a step forward. By then, the entire four cities of East Vietnam may fall in an instant.
Qu Xiaohan asked: "Aren't you asking for some support from Tianwangzhou?"
Tianwangzhou has the largest population among the four alliances. The reason is because they have a good geographical location and the places they are in charge of are densely populated cities. Unlike Hanchun City and Shuilongyin, they can only eat some leftovers.
But in numbers there are many, and it is not clear whether one is good or not.
Shangguan Hong said with a little helplessness: "The battle on the border is fierce. You don't know that most of the people in Tianwangzhou have gone to support, and the remaining people can only defend the city in each city. If If those people are transferred here, won't it give the Quanwuhui an opening to take advantage of the situation?"
Qu Xiaohan nodded, that was indeed the case.
Of course, Qu Xiaohan still brought some good news. She has not been idle these days. Although she doesn't like to get involved in these things, after all, it is related to Tianxiang Valley. After all, she has an old friend here, so she can help. I also want to help.
"I have sent an order to Hanchun City. When the time comes, I will send a hundred people to support East Vietnam. It will take about three days to arrive. Just pray silently that the All-Martial Arts Association will not attack in the next three days."
Shangguan Hong nodded as a thank you.
This was the time when manpower was needed, and she didn't have a mother-in-law or a mother-in-law, nor was she arrogant.
Qu Xiaohan walked into Dongyue. After thinking for a long time, he turned around and persuaded: "Sometimes, you can't think too badly of men. And don't persuade those who refuse to leave. They all They are just ordinary people, how can they have the courage to live over again? Since you want to stay, you should protect them well, even if you are unable to protect them in the end, as long as you don't regret it."
Shangguan Hong was silent.
She is still a warm-hearted person at heart, not to mention that she can say that she treats all these East Vietnamese women as her own sisters. The reason why she has to take tough measures to get these people out of the city is because she is afraid that these sisters will die tragically.
The war is so cruel, but the victims are always the ordinary people.
Despite this, Shangguanhong still kept persuading, and some things still had to be done. Even if one person listened, Shangguanhong would feel at ease.
Throughout the day, Dongyue City came and went.
There are many people who have left and come back.
They are really not used to the outside environment.
Shangguan Hong also looked a little helpless.
These people are used to being comfortable, and it is inevitable that they will not adapt to the sudden need to travel around.
What's more, as a woman, she is a bit spoiled. If she really wants to walk outside for ten and a half days, it is really better to die comfortably in Dongyue.
The same should be true in the human world, in the world of fireworks, and in the world of mortals.
