Supreme pardon

Chapter 185

Of course, Xiangyang didn't take the wrong medicine. With a tacit cooperation without saying anything, he knew Gu Zhiqiu's laissez-faire.

It is natural to act boldly, and the Lord has ordered that the three cities should be taken as soon as possible, and the thirteenth district should not be given a chance to react.

Gu Zhiqiu didn't act too well, both sides were injured during the attack.

Until the second casualty statistics came into the hands of Wen Renjue, Wei Duan couldn't hold back any longer, and said dissatisfied in his mind: "It's hard to see that he has the intention to let go of this kind of injury."

Wen Ren Jue was much more indifferent than it, and he replied casually: "His intention is the stalemate in the three districts, and it would be best to take this opportunity to weaken our strength."

It took five days to attack Autumn City before, but it was even faster to win Winter City. It only took four days from beginning to end. It was like a blitzkrieg that did not give the tenth district Wangcheng and the thirteenth district a chance to react. It fell with Qiucheng.

When the news reached the frontline camp in the [-]th District again, the tent where the high-level officials of the [-]th District gathered was dead silent.

No one will take this as luck anymore, and judging from the current situation, in the tenth district, the power of the three-district alliance can no longer be ignored.

This sudden change will naturally be reported to the rear.

The thirteenth district's offensive against Huacheng weakened in an instant, which seemed to have died down.

But Huacheng became uncharacteristically strong, and the thirteenth district was hit a few times, which was unspeakable.

Xiangyang didn't make any progress, after taking down Winter City, he withdrew all the people from the three cities of Yuexia the previous month and filled them in the second city of Qiudong.

"Wang said that Xiangyang is very knowledgeable. Although I don't know what method he thought of to take down the second city of Qiudong so quickly, but he withdrew people from the three cities, and the three cities before Yuexia will be completely ours."

"He must have done it out of helplessness. After all, the three cities were taken together with us, and they also killed a lot of people. If possible, he is willing to spit it out."

"In my opinion, he is very smart. If he continues to occupy the three cities of the previous month, we will not agree, and his manpower is not sufficient enough to let him be scattered in five cities. It is better to simply go first. Hold what you have."

"To us now, the most important thing is to win the Flower City. I don't need to say how important the location of the Flower City is. As long as we win the Flower City, we can strangle the throat of the second city of Qiudong."

Naturally, some discussions were indispensable. After receiving the letter from Wang Cheng, the two ministers leading the frontline team in the thirteenth district called all the high-level officials to discuss the next step.

……

The city where I lived since I was a child was suddenly enveloped by artillery fire, and before everyone could react, the flags on all the tall buildings in the city changed.

Flying in the wind is the king's flag from other districts, and the tanks and pickups passing by on the street from time to time are full of strange soldiers.

Two days after the capture of Winterfell, a major purge began.

Xiang Yang asked his team captains to take the list and clean it up. This list was not made by them, but was drawn up overnight by some dignitaries in Winter City.

Just like Qiucheng, it was naturally Gu Zhiqiu's intention. After eliminating people who shouldn't exist, part of his power disappeared, while the other part quieted down to recuperate.

"My lord, I'm sorry for the chaos that happened in Qiucheng today..." Very tired, Xiang Yang lowered his head, his complexion not very good-looking.

Wen Renjue sat on the sofa in the middle, the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows had already dimmed.

His legs were crossed on the glass table in front of him, his head was tilted back, Wen Renjue's tone was a little casual, "I don't blame you, you are not only responsible for the war, but also responsible for coordinating the three cities from the previous month. Withdrawing troops, we have to take care of all matters big and small, and manage the two cities in autumn and winter, and mistakes and omissions are inevitable."

It has not been half a month since Qiucheng was taken, and there have been countless riots, but this afternoon is the most serious one. A group of soldiers somehow incited the residents in the city, stormed their management building in Qiucheng, killed and burned many Xiangyang Manager brought over.

Taking advantage of the riots, many shops were burned down.

"I don't know where Gu Zhiqiu got his power, the upper-level vacuum left in the city, those middle and lower-level families will definitely take action and fight." Xiang Yang sighed, "I was paying attention, but let them make trouble Something went wrong."

"It can't be ruled out that it's a trick by someone with a heart." Wen Renjue's tone was still the same, seeing that he didn't take it to heart at all, and said calmly: "It's hard for you."

This man was just an orphan in a small village back then, and Wen Renjue was already very satisfied with being able to grow into what he is today in just a few years.

Fundamentally speaking, this incident exposed the weak foundation of his subordinates.

Even if the strength is strong, the rear is not enough to fill the space left by their frontline attack.

If the pace is a little bigger, it is not just as simple as somersaulting, but falling apart, completely falling apart.

So he has nothing to blame the man in front of him. After all, people don't have superpowers, and it's normal to make mistakes.

Wenren Jue is very tolerant of this kind of thing, if it were Chen Liangxi from before, no matter what the root cause, he would definitely make trouble.

"Just pay attention in the future, don't underestimate the families in these cities." Would it be enough to eliminate and drive away the war department of the king's district?This kind of thinking is too presumptuous. These centuries-old families are sometimes more difficult to deal with than the regular army. Wen Renjue said softly, and quickly changed the subject, "Did Gu Zhiqiu call you?"

This is also the reason why Xiangyang asked to see him in the evening.

"Yes." Xiang Yang looked for a seat and sat down under his gaze.

"What did you say?" Standing up a little, Wen Renjue looked at him.

"He asked us to attack Huacheng as soon as possible, saying that the attack in the thirteenth district has been weaker in the past two days, and the scene is easier to act."

Wen Renjue chuckled, "He can't wait."

Xiang Yang was a little worried, "Wang, is there a trap in this?" In fact, so far, everything has gone too smoothly.

Wen Renjue pondered for a while, then shook his head, "No, he didn't want to give us too much time to digest the second city of autumn and winter, and he was also afraid that there would be some action in the tenth district Wangcheng."

"The autumn and winter cities are lost so quickly, Jiang Baifeng must have guessed in his heart." Xiang Yang affirmed: "He can't go back, even if he didn't lose the city on purpose, considering his current situation, the guilt is not small. But it is because we all think so, so I am very worried, all he has paid so far..."

"Huh?" Hearing the deep meaning in his words, Wen Ren Jue's black pupils flashed a faint light.

Xiang Yang hesitated again and again, and said: "Why don't we ask Mr. Shu's opinion? I'm worried that he made such a big scene just to lure you into the game. Didn't he say that he wants to meet you in Huacheng?"

It's not surprising that Xiang Yang has this idea.

If Yan Zhen was here now, he would try his best to stop Wen Ren Jue from going to Huacheng.

"But he also said, if I don't go in person, he won't give it to Huacheng." Wen Renjue still smiled, his tone was gentle.

Such a childish statement really came from Gu Zhiqiu's mouth.

Xiang Yang is also helpless, the location of Huacheng is very important, for the thirteenth district that has already occupied the three cities under the previous month, mastering Huacheng is tantamount to strangling the lifeline of the two cities of Qiudong.

"Master, I also hope that you can see Gu Zhiqiu again." In absolute silence, Wei Duan spoke in his mind.

"Oh?"

The hand that was on the knee was raised, overlapping with the left hand and placed behind the head, Wen Renjue completely lay down on his back this time.

Exhale slowly.

"I'm curious about the changes in the crystal nucleus in his body." Wei Duan said succinctly.

……

Because the second city of Qiudong was taken down one after another by means of thunder, the thirteenth district deliberately postponed the attack to see the situation.

But at this moment, the Alliance Army of the Three Districts actually sent troops to attack Huacheng from the rear.

When the bang "cannon fire" sounded and the airship hovered overhead, the city that could not be attacked for a long time was instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Wen Renjue stood in the pickup truck, with Yu Gang by his side.

The two of them, led by the people waiting by the road, went to the Fuzheng courtyard in the center of the city.

The man who was arranged to wait by Xiang Yang one step earlier came forward, pointed at Wen Ren Jue and pointed to the tall buildings in all directions, and introduced: "The buildings on the side are used for the royal office. Mr. Gu is waiting for you in the courtyard. The flower city is where the auxiliary government lives."

The auxiliary government is the highest manager of a city, and most of them can order the local war department to be stationed.

After Gu Zhiqiu arrived, the low courtyard surrounded by tall buildings was given up.

Now that Gu Zhiqiu is here to see him, Wenren Jue is not very surprised.

Long before he came, Xiang Yang had arranged for heavy troops to firmly control the territory.

Yu Gang stepped forward to push open the wooden door, Wen Renjue walked in, and the man who brought them back took a few steps, guarding the door.

Wen Renjue walked in step by step. It was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was still bright. Unlike the panic I saw along the way, all the flower pots and decorations here were neatly placed. The owner of the house seemed to be unaware of what happened outside. What.

"Strange? Where's the person?" Yu Gang walked on the path paved with gravel, with red flowers planted in clusters on both sides.

"Could it be that someone left early?" They pushed aside a few houses to check just now, but there was no one inside.

Wen Renjue was two steps behind him, walking slowly with a calm expression.

"Welcome, respected king." The cold words suddenly sounded behind Wenren's ears, and at the same time as the voice was a sharp dagger held in the palm of his hand and pressed against his throat.

Yu Gang froze when he heard the voice, and when he turned around, he saw that his master had been held hostage with a dagger.

"Presumptuous! Let go now!" He yelled angrily, and was about to step forward.

Gu Zhiqiu exerted force on the dagger in his hand, and there was blood seeping from the blade, he shook his head at Yu Gang with a smile, and said softly: "Don't go forward, I'm not in a good mood, I might hurt your king. "

Yu Gang didn't know what to do for a while, looking at the master eagerly.

Wen Ren Jue was expressionless, even if his throat was cut and blood flowed out, even if the people behind him were murderous and their lives fell into the hands of others.

"This meeting ceremony is not bad." Without pretending to be calm, he just sighed meaningfully.

"Really?" Gu Zhiqiu's face was cold, and the smile just now had disappeared.

"It's good, but I don't like it." Seeking truth from facts, Wen Ren Jue was very calm.

"I don't like giving up the Flower City to you either, but why don't I do it anyway? So, people have to do things that they don't like very much." With a calm tone, Gu Zhiqiu took people back two steps .

He didn't stop until his back touched the big tree in the courtyard, and just behind Wen Renjue, he whispered softly: "Have you ever thought that the previous autumn and winter cities were just bait, just to catch your Big fish out?"

Wenren's tactic: "Thought about it."

With some surprise in his eyes, Gu Zhiqiu calmly said: "Then why are you still here?"

"Hehe." The blood from the blade dripped on the back of the shoe, and Wen Renjue gave a low laugh without answering.

"Because you believe that I can't kill you, the street where this courtyard is located has long been filled with heavy soldiers. As long as you shout, they can level this place." Gu Zhiqiu spoke elegantly, even at this time , he still did not lose his demeanor.

Wen Renjue didn't speak.

The man who was holding him behind was close to his ear, and whispered: "I know that the tall buildings around this courtyard must be full of snipers and even heavy artillery barrels at this time. They can completely let this place fly to ashes in an instant Annihilation."

"You and Jiang Baifeng have been at each other for more than half a year, what made you finally decide to give up and leave?" Wen Renjue asked, but asked a question that had nothing to do with the current topic.

Gu Zhiqiu avoided this question, and said relaxedly: "But have you thought about your feet?" After saying this, he let go of his hand and pushed Wenren Jue forward.

Wen Renjue stumbled and took two steps, and quickly stopped. Yu Gang beside him wanted to help him, but when he saw that he was standing still, he withdrew his hand again.

The pistol was pulled out and aimed at Gu Zhiqiu's forehead.

The man on the opposite side smiled lightly, casually throwing the dagger that was used to hold someone hostage at his feet.

Wen Renjue lowered his head, his gaze fell to the ground, raised his head after a while, and said calmly to Gu Zhiqiu, "What did you bury underground in this courtyard?"

When he asked, Yu Gang, who was standing beside him, suddenly turned pale.

He stared at the ground beneath his feet in panic.

Gu Zhiqiu raised his hands, a smile gradually bloomed on his face, it was very sunny, his hair had been carefully groomed, he was wearing a pair of specially tailored cropped pants, his eyes were calm with a little relief, he took out the A black remote control shook Wenren Jue, "A whole storehouse of explosives is buried here. As long as I press it, this place will become the brightest fireworks since the beginning of the war."

No matter how powerful a person is, they cannot survive this kind of explosion.

Weiduan didn't feel worried. For its protection program, this level of explosion is just like playing. Feeling the energy overflow of the crystal nucleus on the opposite side, it said quietly in its mind: "Master, it's just as I guessed, After this crystal nucleus is devoured, it is really not easy."

Wen Renjue just looked at Gu Zhiqiu who was holding the remote control, without any panic on his face.

"What do you mean?" In his mind, he asked with great interest.

"In the world of our descendants of gods, there have been people with such supernatural powers several times, no matter men or women, they all became disasters in the end." Wei Duan's tone became a little strange, and he continued: "They have the power to really confuse people's hearts. , the more powerful people are, the more they can feel the aura they emit, and thus become crazy. Sometimes this aura is not something they can control, and what they do most is just suppress it. Like the divine monument, they often It will start a war."

Turning his eyes away from Gu Zhiqiu's hand, Wen Renjue's eyes fell on his face, sizing him up carefully.

"You don't have a crystal nucleus in your body, so you may not be able to feel that clearly. Moreover, Gu Zhiqiu has swallowed the crystal nucleus not long ago, and his aura is still stable. I finally know why Jiang Baifeng is obsessed with him."

At the beginning, Weiduan had guessed the extent of this crystal nucleus, but now it is just a little bit of implementation.

"After intercourse with someone who has this kind of crystal nucleus, you will be more easily influenced and attracted by it. Just like Baiyao, once you taste this taste, it will be difficult to get rid of it."

"Human drugs?" Wen Renjue said mildly.

"It's much more serious than that." Wei Duan tuned up a bit, "This crystal nucleus will gradually change his aura around him, even his appearance. When he can't control the energy of the crystal nucleus, this overflow will give him Bringing disaster, the mutants with weaker consciousness will swarm him like a pack of wolves smelling blood and tear him apart."

Gu Zhiqiu was stared at silently like this, his body was somewhat stiff, and the person threatened by him did not have the slightest fear, but stood not far away and stared at him, and his eyes became more and more strange.

Wei Duan continued without emotion: "There are only two ways for a descendant of a god who has this ability to be born in the world. One is to die, and the other is to find a strong person to rely on and ask for protection."

The best result is still to become a plaything, but from multiple people to one person.

"Ordinary strong people can't protect them, because as the strength in his body increases, the scope and people he can affect will increase."

Wen Renjue nodded this time, and silently spit out four words, "Human bomb."

No one knew what Gu Zhiqiu was thinking, but Yu Gang was very worried about something happening to the master, so he was standing in front of him and staring at the remote control.

Wen Ren Jue didn't take it seriously, pushed him away, and took a few steps forward.

Over there, Gu Zhiqiu pursed his lips with a smile, and threw away the remote control casually.

Wen Renjue didn't know the fun, and asked like a provocative question: "Why don't you play anymore?"

"Because it's not interesting." With his hands hanging by his sides, Gu Zhiqiu looked at him seriously, and after a long time, he suddenly said, "You know, the way you look confident is really disgusting."

"So?" Wen Renjue spread his hands.

"Let me teach you a lesson. After I leave, you can press the remote control to see if I have lied to you."

Looking at the remote control, Wen Renjue said without hesitation: "I believe you haven't."

Like a close friend, he walked up to the person, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his neck, and said politely, "Where are you going next?"

"I've been worrying about District Ten for too long." Looking leisurely into the distance, Gu Zhiqiu said calmly, "It's time to go for a walk."

Just now, the swords were on the verge of breaking out, but the atmosphere between them became extremely harmonious again.

Yu Gang really couldn't understand, he just walked over quickly while the master was talking to someone, picked up the remote control with trembling hands, and then stood far away.

Gu Zhiqiu didn't care about his actions, slowly raised his head, looked at the clouds in the sky, and said to himself: "But before that, I want to go back to Wangcheng."

"Go back to Wangcheng?" Wen Renjue raised his eyebrows, took out a cigarette from his pocket with one hand, took out a lighter with the other hand, lit it, and smoked it while standing two steps in front of the person.

As the smoke dissipated, Gu Zhiqiu's indifferent expression changed slightly, his eyes fixed on him, and he was ready to say something as soon as his lips parted.

The words came to his lips, and he stopped abruptly, a trace of loneliness flashed in the depths of his pupils.

Just for a moment, the sentence he wanted to say was, "Smoking less."

With such a natural word, he forgot that the man in front of him was not his king.

His own king is still in the tenth district king city, how many times he persuaded the other party not to listen, he would directly step forward to pull out the cigarette from the person's mouth and stamp it out. He could only shake his head and sigh, "The real murderer, the real murderer!"

"The real murderer, the real murderer..."

He clearly looked at the king of other districts in his eyes, but he seemed to hear Jiang Baifeng's sigh beside him.

Wen Ren Jue saw people suddenly staring at him in a daze, and the place where it landed seemed to be... the smoke between his fingers?

Slowly exhaling the smoke, he asked with concern: "What are you doing back in the royal city?"

Isn't it courting death to go back at this time?

Too many memories were deliberately suppressed from recalling, Gu Zhiqiu stood there in a daze, suddenly a little dazed.

What are you... doing now?

He actually handed over the city in the tenth district.

Even more betrayed the family, abandoned everything in the past, physically and mentally exhausted, like rootless duckweed, full of panic.

Too many emotions surged in his eyes, and he couldn't answer Wen Ren Jue's question for a while.

Wen Ren Jue was not in a hurry, he puffed on the cigarette lightly and heavily, and stretched his body relaxedly.

Reining in his emotions, Gu Zhiqiu's eyes gradually calmed down, and he said firmly: "I want to go back and kill someone."

"You know how dangerous it is to go back at this time." Throwing the cigarette butt to his feet, Wen Renjue turned his wrist, and asked casually: "Who made you hate so much, risking your life to do so?" Go kill him."

"An irrelevant person." A smile appeared on his face again, but it didn't reach his eyes.Gu Zhiqiu slowly turned his neck, looking at the courtyard, as if looking at his own past, "I want to leave cleanly."

There are fireworks exploding in the sky.

It is a unique pattern.

"Congratulations," he looked up and said calmly, "The Flower City has also fallen into your hands." He had fought before, so of course he could understand what message the fireworks conveyed.

"Good luck." Wen Renjue replied politely.

Gu Zhiqiu said nothing more, turned and left.

Wei Duan was curious in his mind: "Who is he going back to kill?"

Wen Renjue stretched out his hand to pass the remote control in Yu Gang's hand, pressed his middle finger on the switch and rubbed it to play with it, looked playfully, and said with a low laugh, "Que Lin."

"Ah? The man you asked the mouse to find a way to give to Jiang Baifeng?" Wei Duan was surprised.

Yu Gang didn't even notice why the master was talking to himself, he just stared nervously at the master's fingers.

"Gulong" rolled his Adam's apple and swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.

I'm afraid that if the master accidentally presses the switch, the scene will be too good-looking.

……

The thirteenth district had a good idea at the beginning. Although they form an alliance, as long as they occupy the city, they must control most of it, and it will be easy to clean up in the future.

But how did they know that the Alliance of Three Regions took some kind of magical medicine and swallowed three satellite cities in the Tenth District in one go, and immediately became evenly matched with them.

Before they figured out the real hole cards of the three-district alliance, they were not easy to attack. Because the tenth district lost three more cities and internal turmoil, Jiang Baifeng had no intention of softening his heart. .

The news that the leader of the tenth district died in Huacheng became irrelevant.

……

The battle on the front line has changed a lot, but the [-]th district in the rear is as peaceful as ever.

The king's residence in the city was heavily guarded, and there were continuous elites of the war department walking around. A white figure found a gap, jumped out of the wall like a rabbit, and fell outside in an extremely ungraceful posture.

"Hmm!" The scream was suppressed at the bottom of the throat.

After the white figure climbed up, he turned his head to look at the high wall, rolled his eyes skyward in embarrassment, and jumped into the distance without stopping.

The figure is so fast that normal people can't react at once.

It wasn't until he hid in a busy street corner that Bai Tan scolded loudly: "I'm hurting to death!"

"Didi! Warning! The owner's words are indecent." The bracelet called out very rudely.

Bai Tan shrank back further, untied the backpack and put it on the ground to find something, cursing in his mouth: "Shut up, be careful I will break you!"

Lulu has a certain ability to communicate. Hearing what the master said, he immediately rebelled: "You have learned badly. Not only have you learned to scold the gods with others, but now you still call yourself Laozi."

Bai Tan didn't pay attention to it, turned over the backpack by himself, laughed heartily and said: "A bunch of natives, still want to detain me?"

Lulu struggled to protest, "Indigenous people are also indecent words, these will be included in your warning blacklist."

The books Bai Tan read recently and the people he came into contact with led to a rapid expansion of his reserve of swear words.

In the past, he would be worried about the blacklist of warnings that "Lulu" said, because the stewards in the family would know that his words were dirty, but now?It's better to leave the earth and return to the interstellar first.

Warning blacklist or something, is it important?

A black instrument the size of a bean descended from above his head and landed in his palm.

Bai Tan looked at it with "loving" eyes, and said with emotion, "It's really useful!" Without these things as eyes, how could he run out of that house?

There are also the Leaping shoes on his feet, and the escape bag was not confiscated at the beginning, which is definitely his greatest luck.

No matter how clever Wen Renjue was, he was born and raised on the earth, so he never thought that these seemingly ordinary things would have other uses.

Bai Tan didn't let "Lulu" speak at first, so he was naturally on guard.

"Call me stupid? These natives!" He cursed aggrievedly. When he was locked up in that room, the black spot detector in his palm had heard people say bad things about him.

"Where are we going next?" Bai Tan squatted on the corner of the street with a somewhat wretched appearance, resting his chin in both hands, watching the crowds and vehicles passing by outside.

"Of course I have to find a way to go home!" With one hand clenched in his fist, he sipped softly, got up full of fighting spirit, and walked out boldly, but... within two steps, he squatted down again in a useless manner.

"I'm so hungry~" Touching his belly, Bai Tan lost his breath.

Because he had to prepare for the escape at night, he had been so nervous that he hadn't taken a drop of water since the morning.

It's all right now, he successfully ran out, he felt the cramping in his stomach dully, looked at the shops on the street, and said resolutely: "Let's find a place to have a good meal first."
