Bef...
Chapter 137 The enemy is... Zhang Chun! Zhang Chun:? ...
"The gangs in District 2 of the Lower City are more likely to be on our side, but the leaders of the other three districts have their own agendas and are difficult to win over," said O'White.
"Then I'll go talk to them."
Zhang Chunda flipped through some books to learn more about the family history of Shangcheng District, and his vague ideas became clearer.
"The king is firmly protected in the upper city, and the palace is under strict guard day and night by the Knights. There are five Knight Commanders, except for the third Knight Commander [Bear] who has been captured, the other four are equally not to be underestimated, but they have a fatal weakness." Zhang Chun looked at the historical records of the death rate of nobles as high as 65% in just five years, and couldn't help but sighed, "That king is a fool."
Doesn't a weapon with terrifying lethality need other operators? Under the tyranny of power, all kinds of voices are forced to disappear until there is complete silence.
"It's almost dawn, let's start. I'm going to discuss this with the leaders of the other three districts, you..."
"I'm going to regain control of the Hidden Lantern Society."
O'White put on his coat. The temperature dropped even lower in the second half of the night, and the air in the underground chamber was almost bone-chillingly cold.
He coughed a few times, his voice sounded a little hoarse, "The four major gangs in the lower city, the Hidden Lantern Society with nearly 10,000 people, and the nobles that can be won over in the upper city, are you going to attack them?"
Zhang Chun paused as he walked towards the exit of the secret room. When he turned sideways, a large shadow covered his body, and he seemed a little silent. "... Before coming to the kingdom, I learned some news from many places. The first knight [Ming] is loyal, the second knight [Zhizhe] is compassionate, the third knight [Xiong] is mediocre, the fourth knight [Bai Qiu] is greedy, and the fifth knight [Wuji] is a blood relative. The king who is strictly protected by these strong men is an ordinary person without superpowers. How do you think he can control this group of vicious dogs that can attack at any time?"
O'White's pupils shrank. "You mean..."
"The king used his weakness to put chains on us, and now all we have to do is take those chains away from us."
Zhang Chun finished speaking without any emotion, then turned and walked into the passage.
O'White stared at his back and slowly frowned.
"Are you sure... after being controlled for several years, their weaknesses are still weaknesses?"
He? He muttered.
At this time, the environment in the lower city was still dim. The weak light vaguely illuminated the rough walls nearby, the messy items piled in the corners, and the gray mist that flowed slowly close to the ground.
Zhang Chun just opened the door, and a chill suddenly hit him. He said to himself unconsciously: "Oh no..."
Just returned from the secret passage? Ow White on the floor of the house: "What's wrong?"
"It's fog."
Owite walked past Zhang Chun and came outside. He looked at the mist slowly drifting in the air like gray smoke, then turned to look at Zhang Chun with a serious expression, and thought: "Mist... the kind of fog in Youdu?"
"What kind of fog is Youdu?"
Zhang Chun and O'White looked at each other, then he frowned, exhaled deeply, and said, "Don't worry about Youdu for now. The fog in front of us is very likely a product of supernatural powers. If my guess is correct, there will be chaos soon..."
He suddenly stopped talking, frowning, as if he didn't see O'White's silent scrutiny, and spoke again after a few seconds, "O'White, we have to speed up our actions. We are racing against time now."
"Is this fog dangerous?" O'White guessed from Zhang Chun's solemn expression, and then observed the surrounding environment. "It is indeed rare for fog to appear in Seliberg, and even if it does appear, it is only a thin layer, rarely so thick. I need to notify the members of the Hidden Lantern Society and ask them to spread the news to the entire downtown area..."
Zhang Chun stopped him? "No? I mean this fog is not dangerous..."
Before he finished speaking, a two-meter-tall gray wolf suddenly jumped out of the gray fog more than ten meters away. There were wisps of fog floating on its body, and it was holding a person in its mouth, with only the lower body hanging down weakly, and then struggling from time to time.
It stared at Zhang Chun and O'White from afar with its pair of cold scarlet eyes, then turned around with the people in its mouth and jumped back into the gray fog.
Zhang Chun slowly raised his hand and pinched his chin, pretending not to see the slow gaze from O'White, "Well, it should still be a little dangerous. But the man just now is still alive. If you look closely, you can see that there is no blood on his body, so it means..."
O White said slowly, "You won't try to deceive me again. You know the owner of this fog, right?"
Zhang Chun and O'White looked at each other for a moment and sighed, "Well, indeed, I know him. But he? Other than being a bit playful?, he really has no ill intentions."
"So, is this fog released to play hide-and-seek with everyone?"
O'White pointed at the thick fog in front of him expressionlessly, and suddenly met the eyes of the gray tiger with a pair of scarlet eyes in the fog, and then turned his head back silently.
Zhang Chun was thinking about the purpose of this fog.
Hide and seek? Maybe?
But the one with a 99.9% chance of being Yunyan's white hair? The boy has already been in prison, and if he wants to play the game, he has to escape from prison again. Isn't that redundant? Or is going to prison just an accident?
Zhang Chun felt like his head was knotted, but he still felt that something was wrong.
"This fog is too thick, and there are unknown creatures in it. Your companion will definitely cause widespread chaos. By then, the Knights will most likely come down to search..."
"Yes, it's a large-scale chaos!" Zhang Chun's mind seemed to be connected by a line, and his speech speed gradually increased. "He is already standing in the center of the chaos, but it is not enough to be recognized as the son of prophecy by the Hidden Lantern Society. He has powerful and terrifying strength, and regards the lower city as a threat. He will be escorted to the upper city as quickly as possible, and then he can even meet the king-"
His voice was stuck.
As O'White listened, he suddenly caught the key words and looked at Zhang Chun in shock. Then they both spoke at the same time.
"Him? He's going to kill the king!"
"Wait, you're talking about the boy who calls himself Yun Aotian?!"
Zhang Chun covered his forehead and O'White took a deep breath.
A few seconds later, the two men moved at the same time, their tone was almost identical? Gnashing their teeth.
"It looks like we really have to race against time."
"No? To be precise, we have to race against Yunyan."
Zhang Chun said word by word, "They are very fast and have great mobility. They basically just rush through, so I have to cut off their shortcuts. Tonight I will block the passage from the central city to the lower city to prevent the people being escorted from above from coming in."
"...Aren't you? Companions? You and him? Who gets it first? Control of the kingdom? Are they the same? "O White was very anxious at first, but when he saw Zhang Chun's unexpected reaction, he was stunned for a moment.
"That's not the same." Zhang Chun closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "If I can seize control of the kingdom first, that would be the best. If Yun Yan wins first, for the sake of subsequent plans, he will indeed give me this fortress... But, O'White, I have already taken too many things from him."
O'White thought about it for a long time but couldn't understand the logic. He was about to speak when Zhang Chun interrupted him.
"For him, whether it's assassinating the king or seizing control of the kingdom, it's as simple as a single-player game. In the end, he won't care about anything and will only regard it as a collectible after completing the game. Therefore, his focus will only be on the back. If I borrow it, it would be like snatching a child's toy. Therefore, I want to turn this single-player game into a competitive match, so that Yunyan's attention and experience will be focused on the process. In this way, even if I win the game, he won't be too sad."
O'White looked at Zhang Chun who was about to cut off the passage between the central city and the lower city: "What if you lose?"
Zhang Chun turned his head and looked at him. "I won't lose."
…
“A-choo!”
“A-choo!”
“Ah ...
Chu Xiuyan sneezed three times violently, making his head buzz and his face confused. "What a strange feeling, as if someone is scolding me."
He turned his head to look at the iron door of the cell. The guard captain with an indifferent face scratched his hair and asked, "Were you scolding me just now?"
The captain of the guards in silver-white armor twitched his lips and said sarcastically, "I've been standing here for five minutes, and I've told you nearly two thousand words in total. How could I have the time to scold you about being escorted to the upper city at dawn?"
Chu Xiuyan turned his head and looked at Liang Qiuchao, the host of the storytelling session and his younger brother. The other party also shook his head frantically, indicating that it was not him.
"strangeness……"
Chu Xiuyan touched his chin and thought seriously. After three seconds, he finished thinking. He thought he was sincere and warm to others. How could he offend them? So he must have caught a cold.
At this time, a guard hurried in from outside the cell, with an extremely ugly expression. He leaned close to the captain of the guards and whispered, "The three passages leading to the lower city were blocked by the sudden appearance of boulders. The fourth knight, Bai Qiu, said that he would need some time to clean up."
"How long will it take?"
"Him? He said it must be at least noon."
The captain of the guard took a deep breath, turned his head with a cold face and looked at the white-haired boy who had stepped out of the cell and stood beside him to eavesdrop. "How about you just come with us, and then wait for the Knights to clear the boulders in the passage?"
Chu Xiuyan: "You don't? Why are you so anxious? I am a guest after all."
The captain of the guard pulled his mouth. What kind of thing is this? The guest of the son used the entire lower city as a threat to force the Knights to come and solve the problem.
"No? But it seems a bit strange to say that, not just blocking the passage? Let the escort team come down, but not? Come to break the prison?"
Chu Xiuyan turned his head and thought while walking towards the cell? Go.
System: [Did Zhang Chun do this? ]
Chu Xiuyan: [It is possible, but I don’t understand him. Why doesn’t he come to prison?]
He thought about it, but couldn't figure it out.
"Then I'll wait for a while and see what Uncle Da? is going to do."
Chu Xiuyan sat back on the pile of rocks at the storytelling session, waiting for what would happen next. For some reason, he felt inexplicably excited.
