The deafening scolding echoed in my ears for a long time.
Tian Zelin, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but feel ashamed, and finally understood the reason why Hu Kui insisted on staying in Longdu.
If it was just for the benefit of a certain person or a certain group, Hu Kui could have left the entire fortress city half a year ago and escaped from this desert with his men.
I know that behind me is the safety of millions of Longdu people.
As the lord of a city, Hu Kui did not issue such an irresponsible order just to protect himself.
"I understand, I didn't think well"
Kneel down on the ground and salute solemnly
Tian Zelin did not dare to raise his head, and his tone was full of self-blame: "Please also ask the city lord to punish you!"
"Everyone, get up." Hu Kui said softly, turning his back.
Hear the words.
Everyone was silent for a while, and everyone stood up after looking at each other, including Tian Zelin who felt ashamed of himself.
"Now is the time to employ people. Let's record your guilt for the time being."
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and cast friendly glances at Tian Zelin.
The people present were basically the night watchmen who graduated from the class where Xue Yun served as the training camp instructor.
They are not only colleagues, but also classmates and friends who have known each other for ten years.
With the improvement in strength and experience, they have become the mainstay of Dragon City today.
"Remember."
Looking out at the city through the glass.
Hu Kui took a puff of cigarette silently and reminded in a deep voice: "As the national night watchman of Longdu, our duty is to protect every citizen of this city, even every family!"
"Everything is people-oriented"
There was a pause.
Hu Kui closed his eyes and said with a wry smile: "If Lao Xue is still alive in this world, he must think so."
Xue Yun was mentioned again.
Everyone¡¯s hearts were heavy, and the atmosphere in the entire office became depressing for no reason.
Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Xue Yun entered a secret realm on the northern border alone and has never been able to come out since.
The explanation given by "Dog City" is confusing, saying that the place is too dangerous, and if you break in without permission, it is likely to bring huge disaster to the entire Daxia Empire.
To this day.
Hu Kui has always wanted to find out, but because of the war and the little emperor's cunning manipulation of ceding land to pay compensation, he has been unable to do anything and has no chance to set out.
As the saying goes, you want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when you die!
Even though almost ten years have passed, Hu Kui still doesn¡¯t want to believe that Xue Yun will die in that damn place.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
¡°The position of Minister of Longdu¡¯s War Preparedness Department is still vacant.
Even if everyone said that Xue Yun would not come back alive.
Hu Kui is still waiting, waiting for that guy to return to Longdu one day and lead everyone out of the predicament.
Boom¡ª¡ª
A deafening roar suddenly erupted.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to their senses. They all looked out the window with shocked expressions.
"what happened?!"
He quickly took a step forward and frowned.
Hu Kui looked out the window and saw a plume of dark smoke rising from the east side of the city. It was clear that there was something wrong with the east city tower.
"Ding Mian!"
"My subordinate is here!" Ding Mian, who was sweating profusely, stepped forward quickly.
Turn around suddenly.
Hu Kui¡¯s eyes widened angrily and he shouted loudly: ¡°As the Minister of the City Defense Department, there was such a big movement suddenly in the East City Tower. Why didn¡¯t you, the person in charge, receive the warning in advance!?¡±
"this"
For a moment, I was so panicked that I hesitated.
Ding Mian¡¯s heart skipped a beat and he quickly responded: ¡°City Lord, please wait a moment, my subordinates will go investigate the cause of the matter!¡±
????????????????????????
Before Hu Kui could get angry, the office door had been pushed open.
¡°Something bad is going to happen¡ª¡ª!¡±
She is still wearing a black business attire, paired with a knee-length skirt.
Although Xia Lenling in front of me is over forty, she is still charming and tall.It is clear that the long shawl hair of the past has been tied up high, and the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose are just right.
At first glance, while being elegant and generous, you can¡¯t help but give people a feeling of maturity and wisdom.
"What's going on?!" Hu Kui asked quickly.
"It's Sun Xiaolong and Wang Defa"
Over the years.
Xia Lengling is still in charge of intelligence work, so he can get the specific trends of the incident as soon as possible.
"Those two idiots, they secretly left the city three days ago, saying they were trying to find a way to get food, but they openly detoured to the rear of the Fengdu garrison five kilometers away and robbed their granary!"
"What?!"
Hear the words.
Everyone, including Hu Kui, was shocked.
Unlike the imperial army stationed nearby, there are currently three troops belonging to other princes and city lords in the surrounding area of ??Longdu City.
They are: the armies of Fengdu, Dolphin City, and Tucheng, totaling about 100,000 people.
These guys pretended to be aiding Longdu, but in fact they just wanted to add insult to injury and take the opportunity to encroach on the land within Longdu.
The Third Army came uninvited half a year ago and did nothing to help. They spared no effort in occupying satellite towns everywhere, and in the end they even claimed to have cleared up the mess for Hu Kui.
"Typically, if you get a bargain, you still have to behave!"
In fact, everyone knows very well that the people of these three princes are not good birds.
But in the face of the imperial city's pressing pressure, and under Hu Kui's strict ban, Longdu never completely fell out with them.
Although this move by Sun Xiaolong and Wang Defa was very popular, it was undoubtedly equivalent to giving the Fengdu army a suitable reason and opportunity.
They can take advantage of the situation and officially declare war on Longdu, bringing this fortress city into their territory in one fell swoop.
¡°You bastard, you¡¯re just playing the piano randomly!¡±
After rubbing his forehead, Hu Kui was completely speechless.
If it weren¡¯t for the fact that they were the people left behind by Xue Yun, he would have wanted to get rid of these "problem children" a long time ago.
"Have these two guys entered the city?!"
"An hour ago, we returned safely to the city center with a large amount of food and supplies."
"But the problem is"
There was a pause.
Xia Lengling couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "The pursuers from Fengdu are also approaching the city. The movement just now was that they were shelling our tower. They said that we must give them a reasonable explanation no matter what."
"Give me a fucking explanation!"
Hear the words.
Ding Mian, who has a relatively impulsive personality, immediately became angry and shouted loudly: "The stupid Fengdu has invaded at least ten of our satellite towns in the past six months. What can I do with their little food? It is simply too much!"
"Shut up¡ª¡ª!"
Drinking stopped Ding Mian's angry words.
A wisp of smoke escaped from Hu Kui's nose. After pondering for a moment, he started towards the door of the office.
"Let's go, everyone, come with me and go to the East City Tower to meet the friendly forces from Fengdu" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
