Monarch of Evernight: Four-three means taking the first shot
bsp;The battle was short but fierce. When the Ice Wolf cut his opponent under his sword, the outer battle was nearing its end.
He clutched his left shoulder, endured the pain and limped to Qianye, saying: "Sir, the mission has been completed."
Qianye smiled faintly again and said: "Completed? No, not yet. There is a convoy behind."
The Ice Wolf smiled bitterly and said: "Those are the goods of the trading company. In this way, the hatred with the Wolf King cannot be resolved."
Qianye looked at him and asked: "Can it be resolved now?"
Knowing that this was a fact, the Ice Wolf simply turned around and shouted: "There are some who can still fight, come with me!"
In the blink of an eye, he took a dozen soldiers and jumped onto a still-driving troop transport truck and roared away. At this time, the Ice Wolf showed some fierceness and heroism. Before this, although he was tall and mighty, he always showed some cowardice. Even when he fought with the Werewolf Viscount, he was a little timid, otherwise he would not suffer. So many injuries.
Now that he knew there was no way out, he simply gave up and finally gained the aura of a strong man.
Qianye still stood on the roof of the car, just ordering the remaining soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he turned to look to the side of the sky. There was nothing there except a low hanging cloud, but Qianye saw a circle of force slowly rotating, clearly visible. Someone is hiding in the clouds, peeping at what's going on here. Moreover, the disturbed force is very chaotic, with dawn and darkness intertwined. It is obvious that he is a strong man of the human race.
There are not many strong human beings appearing in this place. It may not be difficult to guess the identity of the person who pays so much attention to the Wolf King. However, Qianye didn't want to waste time trying to guess what this person's intentions were. He just pointed at him from a distance and then made a motion of slitting his throat.
Qianye’s intention was obvious. If he dared to intervene, he would be killed as well.
Then Qianye turned his head, no longer paying attention to the strong human race who was hiding his head and tail, and quietly watched the soldiers cleaning the battlefield. The battlefield was in a mess, so people from the trading company came to help.
In the distant clouds, the figure of an old man is looming, blending into the surrounding clouds. His face was livid, and his beard was trembling slightly with anger. He has been famous for decades, and with a sixteenth level of Force cultivation, he is considered a big shot everywhere, but he has never been so angry. He stared at Qianye, with jealousy and confusion in his eyes. He didn't know why Qianye was so bold and dared to provoke him with such little cultivation.
The killing intent surged in his chest, and he had the urge to rush forward and teach Qianye a lesson. However, caution prevailed, and until now, he still didn't understand how Qianye discovered him.
Qianye in the distance only paid attention to the progress of cleaning the battlefield, and never glanced here again. This kind of naked ignorance was more hurtful than provocation, and almost made the old man faint from anger.
In the end, he couldn't bear this invisible humiliation, so he flicked his sleeves and turned around. As the robe flew up, a small emblem was revealed inside, which was Zhang Buzhou's symbol.
At this time, the Ice Wolf finally ended the battle there and returned by car. Behind him, dozens of cargo trucks lined up and followed. Several business leaders were sitting in the Ice Wolf's car.
The Ice Wolf came to Qianye and said solemnly: "Sir, the mission is completed. All the trucks, many of them, have been brought."
Qianye only then showed a smile of approval and said: "You did a good job this time."
The Ice Wolf felt helpless, but it was already too late to regret it now. There was still an unanswered question in his mind, so he asked: "Sir, why did you order the shooting before we even reached the shooting range?"
"When we reach the shooting range, won't the opponent also have to shoot?"
"That's true, but it's not too late to wait until the other party's hostility is confirmed before taking action. Besides, we can also take advantage of counterattack."
Qianye smiled, interrupted him, and said, "I just want to take the first shot."
"What?"
"I just want to take the first shot." Qianye repeated it again.
The Ice Wolf was shocked and speechless for a moment.
This is domineering.
At this time, several people dressed as business managers walked over and hurriedly saluted Qianye, and began to get close to him and say nice things.
Qianye waved his hand impatiently and said: "Leave the truck behind and you can go. Ask the Wolf King to compensate for the loss."
The expressions of several stewards changed greatly. It is expensive for the trading company to hire mercenaries to protect the cargo fleet. However, once the cargo fleet is robbed, the mercenary group will be responsible for compensating the losses. This rule does not only apply to mercenaries, but also to the Wolf King. The same applies to people. Over the years, the Wolf King's men have rarely missed a move. Therefore, despite the high fees, many businesses are still willing to hire the Wolf King's troops as bodyguards.
The people of the Wolf King at least have a bottom line and will not attack the caravan they protect.
But now these dozens of carts of goods are worth a lot of money. It will take some courage to ask the Wolf King to pay for it. It might lead to disaster, and if these people are killed, there will be no need to pay compensation.
At that moment, a business manager couldn't hold himself back and sneered: "I don't care who you are, but you should know that the Wolf King is not someone you can offend. If you return the goods to us honestly, I can tell you something else." A few words. .
Before he finished speaking, Qianye Qu flicked his finger, and a ball of condensed force flew out, like a force bomb, directly hitting the steward. A blood flower suddenly bloomed between the steward's brows, his eyes glazed over for a moment, and he slowly fell down.
"I don't need to care who you are." Qianye said, then looked at the remaining stewards and said coldly: "Anyone else who wants to argue should come forward?"
The steward's body is right next to him. Who dares to come forward at this time? They all had earth-colored faces and kept shaking their heads.
"This is a war between me and the Wolf King. Whoever continues to side with the Wolf King will not blame my subordinates for being ruthless." After that, Qianye waved his hand and asked the stewards to leave. As for the truck and the driver, they will all be detained. Qianye assigned a dozen mercenaries and asked them to **** the convoy back to Nanqing City, while he led the caravan to continue towards Guanlan City.
The rest of the journey will be smooth and no one will bother you again.
The Wolf King's revenge will come at any time, so everyone except Qianye is very nervous. In accordance with the requirements of the manager of the commercial bank, the convoy did not rest at night. It drove all night and arrived at Guanlan City in most of the day. After entering Guanlan City, everyone in the trading firm relaxed. .
The second step is to reach the destination, the main thing is to be able to clear up the relationship with Qianye. No matter how much the Wolf King wants to take revenge, he can't get revenge on them. After all, the major forces still rely on these trading houses to make a living. Even though he is as cruel as the Wolf King, he will not do anything to fish in the lake.
Qianye knew very well what these merchants were thinking, but he did not tell the truth and asked the Ice Wolf to arrange food and accommodation while he wandered around Guanlan City.
Guanlan City is a large human city, located on the coast of the East China Sea and built on a highland. Although it is not as majestic as the ancient totem battle fortress, it is still more than 100 meters above the sea. From the heights in the city, you can overlook the East China Sea, which can barely be said to be magnificent.
Many deep houses and courtyards were built high up in the city. The walls and gates were all made of stones, giving them a solemn look. Although they lacked grace and nobility, this was in line with the wild and martial style of the neutral land.
Each of these houses represents a powerful family. Some houses have a history of more than a hundred years. Due to the erosion of wind and rain, even the stone carvings on the gatehouses have mottled marks. Looking at this area, there are faint shadows of the imperial family. Of course, its scale cannot be compared with that of a real wealthy family. For example, in the Zhao Clan, the area of one Zhao Mansion alone exceeds that of the entire Guanlan City. The Song Mansion was even more exaggerated.
In the largest and oldest mansion in Guanlan City, a solemn-faced old man was sitting in the study, his eyebrows deeply furrowed, and he was looking at a folded secret report in his hand.
There are two young men in the study, one standing calmly and solemnly, as still as a mountain. The other one was looking here and there, never having a moment to spare.
The old man finally put down the secret report and said with concern: "They have entered the city. You two can tell me how to deal with it."
The restless young man smiled and said: "Such a big matter must be decided by the head of the family. Just do whatever you say!"
The old man's face darkened and he shouted: "Xue Ding! You are about to take on an important responsibility, why are you still so frivolous? How dare I hand over the Xue family to you when you look like this?"
Xue Ding, however, didn't care. He said with a playful smile: "How can the Xue family need me? Isn't it enough to have eldest brother here? There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, so aren't you afraid that eldest brother and I will fight in the future?"
The old man's face showed anger, he slammed the table and said angrily: "Blood is thicker than water, brothers in the family, why should we fight? If you keep talking nonsense, be careful I will kick you out of the Xue family!"
Xue Ding did not take it seriously and sneered: "So what if you drive me out of the Xue family, it's not the first time. Besides, I am now considered the adopted son of the Wolf King, and I am no longer a member of your Xue family."
Xue Wu, who had been silent next to him, said at this time: "Xiao Ding, that's it."
Xue Ding had great respect for this eldest brother who always said little. At this moment, he put away his frivolous attitude and said seriously: "In my opinion, just pretend that I have never received a notice from the Wolf King. Anyway, he is in the city. I won’t stay here long, it’s time to leave in a day or two at most.”
The old man was displeased and said: "Nonsense! Do you think the Wolf King is a three-year-old child, so that you can fool him?"
Xue Ding sneered and said: "Don't he treat us as three-year-old children? I heard that the Wolf King personally took action in Nan Qingcheng and did not leave that person behind. And once he returned to the ancient totem battle fort, he could not leave. , there are rumors that he was seriously injured, so he couldn't take action. He ordered us, the noble family in Guanlan City, to take down someone who he couldn't do anything about. Isn't this making things difficult for us? ? If we can't do it, he will have an excuse to deal with us and weaken the human race."
The old man said solemnly: "You also know that the Wolf King will blame him afterwards? How dare you ignore his orders!"
Xue Ding said: "I do have a way to break the situation, but I'm afraid you won't dare."
The old man snorted and said, "If you have any ideas, tell me!"
"It's very simple, that is to rebel against the Wolf King!"
