Chapter 402 Breaking the situation! What an old fox!
The Soul Controller smiled and said: "Qin Wenyuan is smart, but he is still far behind Beichen. Now that the city gate is closed and no one can get out, Qin Wenyuan is destined to die here!"
He looked at Beichen and said flatteringly: "Beichen regards Qin Wenyuan as his opponent, but he still thinks too highly of Qin Wenyuan. He is still far behind -"
boom!
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, before Yuhunshi finished speaking, loud noises suddenly exploded in Taihe City!
Boom boom boom!
A violent sound suddenly sounded in Taihe City.
With the huge noise, visible to the naked eye, some houses flew directly into the air.
Then it fell suddenly, suddenly hit the ground, and instantly became a mess!
The entire ground of Taihe City shook violently at this moment.
This change happened too suddenly.
No hint at all.
Just like that, it suddenly appeared!
The entire Taihe City fell silent at this moment because of this sudden scene.
To the south of the city, the noise of the people and the scolding of the guards of Taihe City disappeared at this moment.
In the inn, Tianji suddenly thought of something and rushed to the window. He looked at the people who seemed to be frozen outside and was stunned.
The voice of the Soul Controller, who had been flattering Beichen and saying all kinds of bad things about Qin Wenyuan just now, suddenly froze at this moment.
His eyes widened and he quickly looked in the direction of the thick smoke, feeling a little unable to react.
"This...this...what's going on?"
"Why was there an explosion? Where did the explosion come from?"
The Soul Controller made a shocked sound.
And Beichen, watching the billowing smoke rising, suddenly sighed.
He said: "It seems that we still underestimate Qin Wenyuan!"
"I didn't expect that he was actually in Taihe City, hiding explosives."
"Did he bring it with him when he came to Taihe City?"
As soon as Beichen finished speaking, he shook his head and denied what he said: "No, he couldn't have carried it himself."
"If you want to create such an effect, you can't do it without enough explosives."
"As for Qin Wenyuan, when he first arrived in Taihe City, he probably never thought that we would use such a large force because of his sneaking into Beidou Temple, so he would not bring these in advance, and he could not bring them."
"So...are they spies from the Tang Dynasty who have already been stationed in Taihe City?"
Beichen shook his head, with a hint of regret in his tone.
The Soul Controller was a little startled when he heard Beichen's words.
He didn't understand what Beichen meant, so he couldn't help but said: "Beichen, you mean...this, was Qin Wenyuan's doing?"
Beichen nodded: "Except for him, no one can do this under my eyes."
"It seems like..."
He sighed: "Qin Wenyuan's escape is a foregone conclusion. We...can't stop him."
"What?"
After hearing this, the Yuhun envoy's expression changed.
At this time, he suddenly heard a huge chaotic sound suddenly erupted in Taihe City, which was originally extremely quiet.
Especially at the city gate, the people who had been shocked suddenly burst out with a huge rebound, just like a spring compressed to the extreme.
"what happened?"
"Massacre the city! They really want to massacre the city!"
"Is this going to blow us all up?"
"The house was blown up just now. If people were inside, wouldn't they be instantly turned into ashes?"
"You are so cruel!"
"Open the city gate!"
"Let us out!"
"We don't want to die!"
The people are already at a critical point.
At this moment, a sudden explosion suddenly occurred, and it seemed as if the floodgates had opened in the hearts of the people.
For a moment, the people rushed towards the city gate like crazy.
The guards of the city lord's palace who had originally harshly stopped the people were hesitant at this moment.
It's not that they don't want to stop people.
But the explosion just now shocked even them.
They had no idea what was going on.
The things used in the explosion are definitely not accessible to ordinary people.
Not even the City Lord’s Mansion!
So, could this explosive really be used by the Beidou Society to massacre the city, as these people said?
If it is true.
If they stay here, won't they also die?
People will die, and so will they!
And they don’t want to die either!
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but turn to look at the city lord.
I saw that the city lord at this time was also pale, and his original confidence turned into hesitation at this moment.
He didn't know what was going on.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered what the Soul Controller had told him before he left. It would be one day.
One day is enough.
What can you do with enough time in one day?
And after one day, you can open the city gate and let these people leave.
Since we are allowed to leave one day later, why can’t we leave today?
Besides, with the current chaos, he didn't believe that Beidou would be able to find Qin Wenyuan in such chaotic circumstances.
Therefore, based on the words of these people, the city lord finally realized the problem.
One day later... shouldn't it be that the Beidou Society is really going to massacre the city in one day?
Therefore, there is no fear that the people will leave, because no one can leave.
And he didn't know anything about this.
Does that mean that he...has also been given up?
The Lord of Taihe City, thinking of this, his whole body began to tremble.
His eyes suddenly widened, and the pupils in his eyes were trembling violently up and down at this moment.
He only felt that his legs were a little weak, and he had to lean against the wall to stop him.
At this time, he found that the soldiers were all looking at him.
He also found that the people were looking at him.
The eyes of these people are full of tension, full of fear, full of prayer, and full of hope for life.
They are waiting for themselves to speak!
Just wait and make your own decision!
At this moment, the city lord of Taihe City felt that his mind was completely blank.
He didn't know, he didn't know what to do now.
He wasn't sure what Beichen was thinking.
It was Beichen who made sure that Qin Wenyuan could be captured within this day.
Or... Beichen really wants to massacre the city.
It's just that Beichen can't do it now and has to wait until one day later?
Which one is the answer?
The lord of Taihe City was at a loss.
He was trying his best to recall the tone and details of the conversation between the soul master and himself.
He was trying to remember if there was anything wrong with the Soul Controller at that time.
Because his status was lower than that of the Soul Controller, he did not dare to ask more questions.
And the Soul Controller did not take the initiative to reveal what Beichen wanted to do.
But before the Soul Controller left, he comforted himself.
He said Beichen was very satisfied with himself.
He said that Beichen was paying attention to him.
He also said that Beichen would promote himself.
Before, he was only concerned with excitement and excitement.
But at this moment, he suddenly realized that something was wrong!
How could a high-ranking man like Beichen pay attention to a little man like himself?
Besides, what I did was not very good.
For such a long time, not only were Qin Wenyuan and the others not captured, but Xin Yaoguang was also left unaware of his life or death.
It can be said that what I did was very unqualified.
Beichen is doing well if he doesn't cause trouble for himself. Why would he want to promote himself?
so……
"has a problem!"
The city lord's breathing was trembling.
He can become the lord of a city, so he is certainly not a fool.
It's just that he was completely led by the rhythm before.
But at this moment, after calm analysis, he directly discovered that there was indeed a problem.
Beichen, maybe... really gave up on himself.
He wants the entire Taihe City to be buried with Qin Wenyuan!
This rumor is true!
No... maybe it's not a rumor at all.
But Qin Wenyuan spread it deliberately.
Because Qin Wenyuan knew Beichen so well, Qin Wenyuan had guessed everything Beichen was thinking, so in order to save himself, Qin Wenyuan deliberately spread the news to ward off Beichen!
It's all true!
What should I do?
Open the city gate?
Qin Wenyuan may escape!
Beichen will not let him go!
But don’t open the city gate...
Then everyone will die!
Beichen didn't care about his life or death at all.
Moreover, the hundreds of thousands of people protected by Taihe City will also die because of this!
The lord of Taihe City was in an extreme struggle.
He found that no matter what he chose, he seemed to be dead.
But his choice will give his people and the guards who believe in him a way to survive.
He raised his head and closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, the lord of Taihe City seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
He looked at these people and his soldiers, took a deep breath, and suddenly sat down against the wall.
He said: "Open the city gate."
"Whoever wants to leave, just leave."
"In addition, tell the people that they only have one day. After one day, the city gate will be closed again. If you don't leave, you will never leave."
When the guards heard the city lord's words, their hearts trembled.
They knew that the city lord opened the city gate at this time, maybe... he also thought that Beidou would massacre the city.
This made them dare not delay and quickly opened the city gate.
The moment the city gate opened, countless people crowded in.
The city lord looked dejectedly at the crowded crowd and sat on the cold ground, silent for a long time.
at the same time.
In a high-rise building.
Beichen and Yuhun Envoy looked out from a high place and saw this scene.
The Soul Controller's face was full of displeasure, and he said coldly: "This idiot actually opened the city gate on his own initiative. Beichen, I'm going to kill him!"
Beichen shook his head. He looked at the crowded crowd and said calmly: "As soon as the city gate opened, Qin Wenyuan had already fished into the sea and could not be found."
"Our plan failed. It was my lack of planning that gave Qin Wenyuan an advantage. It had nothing to do with him."
"Leave him alone and let him fend for himself."
at the same time.
Inside the inn.
Tianji stood by the window, looking in the direction of the city gate with wide eyes.
She could see more and more people walking towards the city gate.
And once these people left, they never came back.
This is different from before.
Previously, because the city gate was crowded with people, these people could not squeeze through. They could only stand on the outside. They felt that they could not get out, so they returned.
But this time, no one returned.
Tianji immediately thought of the reason for this!
The city gate is open!
The city gate that Beichen wanted to close to them finally opened!
Tianji couldn't help but take a deep breath. She turned to look at Qin Wenyuan who was drinking tea slowly and said, "I didn't expect that I really made it happen for you."
"The city gate opened and the people left. Beichen is not sure if we are among those people, so we will definitely not take any further action."
"He lost."
"This time, you still win."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wenyuan gently put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "This time, no one of us is considered a loser, and no one is considered a winner."
"For us, the real win or loss...is when the other party dies."
"If I die, Beichen will win."
"If Beichen dies, I win."
"But this time, he tried to catch me, but I escaped. It can only be said that he missed a move. As for losing... we can't even talk about it."
"In fact, neither he nor I lost anything, so it doesn't matter who suffered the loss."
"certainly……"
He looked at Tianji and said: "If you kill Xin Yaoguang in that moment, then he has lost a general."
"but……"
Qin Wenyuan thought for a while and said: "I feel that Xin Yaoguang is not that easy to die. He is a person who crawled out from the dead. He is not that easy to die."
Tianji nodded and said: "I also think there is a high probability that he is still alive. When I took action, although he did not expect my appearance, at the moment I took action, he still resisted completely subconsciously.
"
"Although the resistance was not strong, I was still chopped away, but sometimes... just a slight block may make the result very different."
"In addition, Beichen is also here. With the background of the Beidou Society, there are quite a few miraculous medicines. As long as Xin Yaoguang is still breathing, Beichen can save him."
"So, there is a high probability that we will meet again in the future."
Qin Wenyuan stretched out and said with a smile: "So, this time we are just facing off from a distance, no loss, no loss."
"okay."
He stood up directly and said, "It's time for us to leave."
"Taking advantage of the current chaos, let's leave Taihe City as soon as possible. Even if Beichen most likely won't take action, if he can't stop, has poisoned, or has begun to break the dike, then it's not like he wants to
Just stop."
"Staying here will still be dangerous after all."
"Not to mention that our goal has been achieved and we have obtained many useful clues from Beidou Temple. This is not in vain for us."
Tianji nodded.
She suddenly thought of something and said, "Where's the portrait you got from the Big Dipper Tower?"
"The guards came to search before. They searched all your rooms and found nothing. Where are you hiding?"
Qin Wenyuan glanced at Tianji.
Xin Dao Tianji really cared about that portrait.
When she took the portrait away, Tianji was unwilling, but now she took the initiative to mention that she definitely had something to do with the portrait or the people in the portrait.
Qin Wenyuan's heart was full of thoughts, but he didn't show anything on the surface.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Hidden in a place where no one can find it."
"Where?" Tianji asked.
Qin Wenyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Let's go, you will know when we get out."
