Chapter 530 (1/2)
At ordinary times, the leisurely and prosperous Wanghai City, without warning, suddenly entered a state of tension!
Early in the morning, the first order of the new year came from the city master's office, announcing that the whole Wanghai city had entered the third level of combat readiness! This is extremely rare in the whole history of Wanghai city! Some old Wanghai city people may still remember that the last time the Lord of Wanghai city announced that the city was in a state of war readiness, it could be traced back to the war between Tongtian Empire and Xihuang Empire decades ago!
At that time, because the Western Empire suddenly launched an attack on the Tongtian Empire, the unprepared Tongtian empire could only defend passively in the initial stage of the war, and Wanghai City, located at the northeast end of the whole empire, was, of course, a must for military strategists in theory! Even at the end of the war, Wanghai city did not suffer from the baptism of the war, but it was the age of the war after all! There is nothing to be surprised about the release of the war readiness status of Wanghai city!
Now? Today, the old enemy of Tongtian Empire, Xihuang Empire, has long been the yellow flower of yesterday! Unable to keep up with the leap forward development of Tongtian Empire, the Western Empire had to be eliminated by history! Looking at the territory of Tongtian Empire, it is more than twice as large as that of Tongxi war! There is no country around the empire that can be called ”empire”! It can be said that the mighty Tongtian Empire has basically occupied a quarter of the whole Lingtian continent! Within the sphere of influence of the Tongtian Empire, all nations obey! No one dares to fight against Tongtian Empire any more!
Recently, one of the most convincing examples is the battle between the sea people and the sunset kingdom. The Tongtian Empire just sent out a part of the fleet to watch the sea city, and it crippled the whole sunset kingdom! All the way to the capital of the sunset Kingdom, forcing the emperor of the sunset kingdom to sign the alliance under the city! At this point, the name of Tongtian Empire has been passed down to every corner of the mainland by people, and it is very powerful for a while!
However, in the heyday of the Tongtian Empire, Wanghai City, the most important town in the northeast of the Empire, suddenly issued the order to enter the state of war preparedness, and it was three-level alert... Such strange things, not only others can't understand, but also the common people of Wanghai city can't understand!
Although we dare not say it openly, we are talking about it in secret. Some say that war will start, some say that changes will happen... For a moment, the streets and alleys of Wanghai city are full of a sense of inexplicable uneasiness
Teams of bright helmeted imperial soldiers, with serious faces, appeared in the streets of Haicheng, patrolling back and forth! There are also some cultivation masters of Cao Bai and his family! Whenever they meet some suspicious people, these experts and soldiers will immediately stop them and make detailed interrogation. There are even one or two of them who are directly captured in the street and escorted by more than a dozen people to Cao's home in the middle of the city!
Not only in the city, but also at the gate, which had not been closed for decades, thousands of soldiers armed to the teeth were gathered! The main gate of the city is tightly closed, many gates are bolted inside the gate, and the city is full of watchful patrolling teams. The tightness makes people feel that even a bird trying to fly into the city is not so easy
Nuo big Wanghai City, leaving only two corner gates around the south gate for pedestrians to get in and out! The corner door on the left goes in and the corner door on the right goes out! Around each corner gate, there stood a troop of soldiers ready to go, maintaining law and order.
This kind of crowd flow obviously can't meet the normal needs of Wanghai City, which is an important city in the northeast of the Empire. It doesn't take half a moment. Whether it's in the city or outside the city, the people waiting to pass through the corner gate have already gathered into a ball. As time goes on, it makes everyone complain and noisy! Had it not been for the obscenity of the soldiers guarding the gate, there would have been a quarrel or turmoil
What's more incomprehensible to the common people is that as soon as the day is bright, the city Lord's house and the white family move quickly! Under the leadership of city Lord Cao Hong and master Bai, all the city Lord's house and Bai's family moved into Cao's house like a migration!
If such measures as city closure, patrolling and restricting access are all included in the three-level combat readiness, what are the reasons for the city Lord's house and the Bai family to move into the Cao family? The city Lord Cao Hong can say that he is going back to his hometown to have a look. Your Bai family is just a partner of the Cao family. What kind of excitement are you going to join in at this time In retrospect, even if Cao Hong went back to his hometown to have a look, he didn't have to move the whole city Lord's mansion into Cao's house, did he?
Anyway, there is a strange and inexplicable feeling in everything that happened this morning. The common people can't figure out the secret, so they have to hide at home, close their doors and try their best to avoid going out, so as not to suffer from the disaster of the pond
