C43 (2/2)

Chen Chu was startled, then answered: ”No matter male, female or female, old or young, all of them are brave and fearless. If it were not for their weak weapons, I am afraid that the knights under my command would have already been harmed.”

”If I don't use thunderbolt techniques, I won't be able to make them surrender, right?” Xiu'er asked again.

Chen Chu didn't reply. He only lowered his head slightly, and silently stood in front of Xiu'er.

Xiu'er thought about it for a long time before she said softly, ”Thunderbolt, the heart of a Bodhisattva. To be honest, it all depended on who the thunderbolt was and who the Bodhisattva was. I didn't use thunderbolt here, but instead, I used the heart of Buddha. If they were to break through Phoenix City Pass, they would probably use thunderbolt on the civilians and soldiers inside the city. At that time, we would have become the Buddha of Black Qiu, the Devil Phoenix — ”Saying this, Xiu'er raised her head to look at Chen Chu,” General Chen, I have agreed to what you said at yesterday's meeting. From today onwards, Red Camp Knight and the local strong were to be reorganized by General Chen and the local strong. ”As for the rest, I ask the two generals to be at ease and do as you please. If killing too much brings about heavenly retribution, I am willing to bear it all!” As he finished speaking, Xiu'er's small face was already covered in frost.

Hearing that, Chen Chu suddenly smiled, his white teeth matched the blood stains on his face, and unexpectedly became even more sinister: ”Lord Xiu, seventy Li away from here is a large city called Tiger Rush. Rest assured, my lord, I have already given them a present. When they receive it, they will be very happy. ”

Half of the towns with the word ”wolves” written on them were towns that were built on the basis of the farmland they lived in back then. Since there weren't many people, the management of the towns was lax. The number of people with the words ”leopard”, on the other hand, was closer to the ”city” in the Fire Phoenix Empire, but their numbers were not as large as the number of people in the Fire Phoenix Empire. As for those with the word ”tiger”, they were in proper places in the large cities, and were all major transportation routes. All those years ago, it was the place where the great Tiger King stored their gold and silver treasures and conducted important transactions.

The citizens of Tiger Running City had long known that there were Fire Phoenix Empire soldiers burning, killing and looting nearby the Wulian Mountain Range, but they did not pay too much attention to it. It was just a troop of soldiers, it was just bullying the villages and towns, anyone with Moqiu State would be able to shoot them easily, if that group of blind soldiers dared to come to Tiger Running City, then they would be in for it!

But just on this early morning in the early summer, when the citizens inside the Tiger Running City saw the ”gift” Chen Chu had sent over, they were no longer as calm.

Early in the morning, the sleepy City Gate Officer stretched lazily as he asked his companions for tobacco and prepared to find a place to smoke a bag of tobacco to refresh his spirit. However, just as he was about to light up his cigarette, the clatter of hooves could be heard coming from afar. Usually, there wouldn't be anyone entering the city this early. On top of that, there would be an army in the south recently. Putting away the smoke bag, he held onto the scabbard and walked a few steps forward, shouting towards the carriage that was still several hundred feet away from the city gate: ”Who is it?!” State your name! ”

The person sitting on the horse carriage was not tall, and looked like a child. However, he turned a deaf ear to City Gate Officer's words, and with one hand of his whip, he continued to drive the horse carriage towards the city gate.

City Gate Officer felt that something was amiss, as he called for his comrades to stay alert, he shouted, ”Everyone, come! Otherwise, I will kill you! ”

The coachman in the carriage remained indifferent and continued to whip the horse mechanically. The distance between the carriage and the City Gate Officer grew closer and closer, from a few hundred to a few hundred meters. The guard at the gate also finally saw the driver's appearance clearly. He was only eleven or twelve years old, his expression was dull as he stared straight ahead, his cheeks and nose filled with lines of tears that had gushed out.

Seeing him like that, City Gate Officer could not help but heave a sigh of relief. With a curved blade in hand, he walked towards the carriage and shouted, ”Child! Hey! This child! He's calling you! What was going on? Can't you hear me?! ”

At this moment, the distance between them was less than 15 meters. The child finally stopped the horsewhip he was waving and stopped the carriage. He stared at City Gate Officer for a good while, then suddenly pouted and jumped down from the carriage. He ran to City Gate Officer in a few steps and hugged his leg as he wailed. This really confused City Gate Officer. He was at a loss of what to do and pulled the child up, wiping his nose and also wiping his tears for a while before he finally stopped the child's crying.

City Gate Officer asked: ”Don't cry, aiya, don't cry, what happened to you? Speak clearly first! ”

A soldier who was standing nearby laughed, ”Did you do something unscrupulous? Did your child come to find your father now?”

Before City Gate Officer could scold him, the child had already raised his arm and pointed towards the back of the carriage as he muttered to himself, ”A present, a gift that they asked me to give.”

It was only now that City Gate Officer and the soldiers realized that the carriage behind them had been carefully covered with tarpaulin. They looked at each other, drew their scimitars and attacked the back of the carriage in a semicircle.

When they were finally in front of the carriage, City Gate Officer made a mental note to the soldiers on both sides of him. He then raised his scimitar and hooked a corner of the tarpaulin before lifting it up!

After avoiding the stench of blood, everyone stuck their heads out to look inside the carriage. The next scene, was something that City Gate Officer and his six comrades did not want to recall again in their lifetime.

Heads, a cart full of them.
