Chapter 319 The dove takes over the magpie's nest
Li Changxiao took a step back and hid in the shadows. He saw three black shadows approaching at a very fast speed from far away.
Judging from their movements, they were probably martial artists with a master's degree of martial arts. They held spears in their hands and moved very fast and nimbly, climbing walls and running on rooftops. They seemed to be trying to conceal their tracks and get close to the military camp. The three men had a clear purpose and went straight to the hanging corpses.
However, the snake people had keen hearing and had already noticed the whereabouts of the three people, but they pretended not to know and were insidious and cunning, luring the enemy deep into their territory. The three people really fell into the trap. They thought they had successfully sneaked in, but they never expected to be immediately surrounded and intercepted. In desperation, the two sides fought each other.
For a moment, the shadows of swords and guns flashed.
Breaking into the military camp was like flying into a flame. The three men soon showed signs of dejection, feeling bitter and hopeless.
At this moment, Li Changxiao, who was in the shadows, had a flash of faint blue in his eyes.
I saw him just hook his little finger lightly.
That force was transmitted rapidly through the invisible threads in the air.
In just a moment, all the alien legions had a long bloody mark on their necks.
The hundreds of foreign soldiers present were almost wiped out.
The three men showed shock, obviously not expecting this scene. They realized that someone was attacking them secretly, so they bowed to the air. The situation was urgent, so they carried the corpses and left in a hurry.
Li Changxiao looked at the backs of the three people, thoughtfully. It seemed that there was an undercurrent in the Ninth City, and it had reached the most intense moment.
Li Changxiao looked slowly and glanced at the entire city. His gaze became meaningful, and it seemed that he was not the only one paying attention to this place.
He thought about it and followed.
However, the group of three people carried the corpse out of the city, buried it in the wilderness, and erected a simple tombstone.
Li Changxiao eavesdropped on the side and found out what happened. It turned out that this group of people were originally the soldiers guarding the Ninth City. They were all powerful human warriors with great martial arts skills, and they maintained the law and order of the Ninth City.
Some time ago, they were falsely accused of treason, so they had no choice but to defect. Today, they were surrounded and almost all the soldiers died. Even the former general was not only killed, but his body was taken back to be used as food.
The three of them were lucky enough to escape, and they couldn't bear to see the person they revered end up like this, so they thought that at least they should not let the general's corpse be insulted like this, so the scene of robbing the corpse took place.
……
When Li Changxiao returned to the Ninth City, he found that the situation in the city had changed drastically. A large number of soldiers guarding the city went out overnight to search house to house.
It turned out that it was the Lord of the Ninth City, Xia, who was furious when he learned that the military camp was attacked, and directly ordered that the murderer must be brought to justice at all costs.
The main targets of the search are every household of the human race and the rooms in the inn.
However, Li Changxiao saw that these alien soldiers arrested people without distinction between the old, the weak, women and children, and arrested all humans.
These few minutes.
Thousands of human beings were captured. They had just woken up from their sleep and were pushed and gathered in the square without even figuring out what was happening.
Many foreign races also stood up to watch the fun.
This whole ordeal lasted all night, and by the time the city guards found the Shechang Inn where Li Changxiao was, it was already daytime.
Li Changxiao, the shopkeeper... and many other customers were all marched to the square with knives at their necks by foreign soldiers.
As soon as they walked out of the inn, several snake-men waiters in the inn looked at them grimly, with no disguising the gloating in their eyes.
There were already hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the square. Almost all the human beings in the Ninth City were captured here. Seeing this scene, the shopkeeper was stunned. He did not expect to encounter such a scene.
He trembled for a moment. Seeing that they were all humans, and remembering what happened before, a hint of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.
The square was large, but it was still very crowded even though it accommodated hundreds of thousands of people. Even some young children needed to be lifted over their heads by adults to ensure their safety.
Right in front of the square, there is a platform several dozen meters high.
A figure walked slowly towards the platform via the white jade stairs.
He is a man with a long and slender face, giving people a feminine feeling.
This person is the Lord of the Ninth City, Xia Shexie. He has the blood of both the snake and scorpion people, and is also the youngest city lord in history.
"City Lord Xia, why did you call us here in the middle of the night?"
"Yes, I still have to go home and grind tofu."
……
Noise gradually rose among the crowd.
"Go back?" Xia Shexie's mouth corners slightly raised.
He had no intention of letting them go back.
Isn't it today that our ancestors have accumulated so much? Now the time has come.
Xia Shexie spoke, his voice sharp, "I'm really sorry to have to call you all together so early in the morning."
"It's just... I am also very helpless. The military camp was attacked by thieves last night. For the sake of the stability of the city, I had no choice but to do this."
"According to the soldiers guarding the city, the attackers are humans, so we have to resort to this desperate measure to gather all the humans together. In addition, we also want to take this opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with everyone."
Xia Shexie put his hands behind his back and walked slowly on the high platform, and then said: "I have been elected as the city lord for more than ten years. During my tenure, I have worked diligently and devoted my whole heart to the Ninth City. I believe everyone can see this."
"However, in my fourth year as city lord, I looked at various files from the past and couldn't help but wonder why, even if I put my whole heart into it, various problems would always arise."
"I thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with an answer, which is... you."
Xia Shexie pointed at the humans below.
"us?"
The human race was puzzled. How could they, who worked so diligently, become a source of instability for the Ninth City?
"Yes, it's you." Xia Shexie waved his hand and raised his voice a little, with a hint of ulterior motive. "Looking back at the history of the Ninth City for hundreds of years, every heinous case was caused by the human race."
"And my tribe of snakes and scorpions have lived in the Ninth City since ancient times. Our ancestors kindly took you in and gave you equal status and equal rights, but they didn't expect... that you humans are such a despicable race."
The words fell.
The faces of the hundreds of thousands of people in the square suddenly changed, and their hearts were filled with uneasiness.
Someone stood up and cursed: "Bullshit, it's obviously us humans who took you in!"
"Oh?" Xia Shexie was not angry at all, "Where is the evidence? The longest life span of you humans is no more than a hundred years, while we snake people are born with a life span of at least 150 years and at most 200 years."
"A random snakeman can span several generations of your human race. What evidence do you have to prove that the Ninth City belongs to your human ancestors?"
Xia Shexie had emerald green pupils and looked at the people below with a cold look.
