When the team stopped, they must have arrived at their destination. Although Yang Ze had only been to Zhining City for a short time, he had gone to the stronghold of Piao Miao Wuyuan several times, and he had collected a lot of information about Zhining City.
The layout of Zhining City is very similar to that of Yuyang City. Zhining City is also divided into an inner city and an outer city, with the city lord's palace located in the center of the city.
In the core area of the inner city, a high wall was specially built, and the city lord's palace is located inside that high wall.
The City Lord's Mansion occupies a huge area, because both the black-armored cavalry and the City Lord's personal guards have to stay inside. The two armies alone total more than 3,000 people, plus some other government personnel and subordinates.
If the city lord's mansion wasn't big enough, it wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people.
Tonight, Lei Pinghui, the city lord of Zhining City, was in his study, with pen and ink flying in his hand, falling on a piece of white paper. On that piece of white paper, an ink painting was rapidly taking shape.
But at the moment when the ink painting was about to be completed, Lei Pinghui's hand suddenly stopped, and the position of the pen was crooked. His stroke was directly crooked, leaving a mark on the upper right corner of the ink painting.
Lei Pinghui put down the ink pen, gently picked up the ink painting with both hands, and looked at the entire drawing paper. He looked at the stroke in the upper corner, and his brows were furrowed tightly on his plain face.
.
At this moment, the door of the study room opened, and a man in his fifties with a mustache walked in quickly. He saw the ink painting in Lei Pinghui's hand, and a smile appeared on his face, and he was about to say a compliment.
If I wanted to say something, I immediately caught a glimpse of a crooked stroke on the upper right corner of the drawing paper, and the words were stuck in my throat before I could even speak.
The face of the man with a mustache became a little ugly, and he swallowed what he was about to say, and then said: "Sir City Lord, how about I ask the people below to bring you a new set of painting tools?"
"No need, the problem is not with the painting tools, but with the person who painted it." Lei Pinghui put the ink painting in his hand back.
When the man with the mustache heard this, his heart trembled. He knew very well that besides being in charge of the huge Zhining City, the city lord in front of him also had the biggest hobby of calligraphy and painting. In this aspect, he had studied for thirty years.
He is more than a year old and is somewhat famous in the entire Le'an Mansion.
Even if he does not have the status of the Lord of Zhining City, there are still many people who want to get a piece of his calligraphy and painting, and he can be regarded as a master of painting.
For such a master of painting, painting an ordinary ink painting is just a very simple thing, and there will be no accidents. At least this man with a mustache has not seen the Lord of the City for more than ten years.
, during the painting process, a problem occurred.
"Lord City Lord, let me help you put away these things first." When the man with the mustache spoke, he had already stretched out his hand to put away these things.
"Shi Mu, don't touch these things, just put them here tonight." Lei Pinghui said calmly, and the man with a mustache named Shi Mu retracted his hand.
Shi Mu stood there at the moment, looking at the city lord tonight. He felt a little panicked for a moment. He had been the staff of the city lord of Zhining City for sixteen years, but this was the first time he saw the city lord meeting.
There is such a behavior.
To be able to assume the position of the city lord of Zhining City, Lei Pinghui is not an ordinary person. In addition to the deep family behind him, Lei Pinghui himself is also a warrior in the middle stage of the third-grade pulse opening realm.
After being in office for so many years, Lei Pinghui knew that it was not enough to be in a high position in this world, he also needed to have enough strength, so he never relaxed his cultivation, used his authority and gathered a lot of resources to be where he is today.
Skill.
As a third-level warrior, Shi Mu originally thought that after following him for so many years, he could more or less see through people's hearts. But now, he had the same feeling as when he saw Lei Pinghui for the first time, and he couldn't see through Lei Ping at all.
What is Hui thinking?
Although Lei Pinghui put the ink painting back, his eyes never moved away from the ink painting. He kept staring at the ink painting and then glanced at the stone screen.
"Is there any unusual movement tonight?" As a warrior with some strength, Lei Pinghui often has some premonitions about whether something will happen next, but the usual premonitions are very vague, but today
That night, his heart was beating wildly, and he felt as if something big was about to happen.
Suddenly hearing Lei Pinghui's question, Shi Mu was startled and paused before answering: "Master Qi, the black-armored cavalry is stationed in the inner city tonight, and two thousand personal guards are guarding each pass, and
No abnormalities occurred."
With a thousand black-armored cavalry, two thousand personal guards, and thousands of officers and soldiers directly under the city lord's palace, plus a large number of martial arts masters from the Zhining City government, basically no one dared to offend Lei Pinghui for so many years in office.
The majesty of the city lord's palace.
"Now you give me an order to order the black-armored cavalry to come back and station themselves tonight. In addition, you go ask all the worshipers to go to the fifth-floor dungeon tonight. I'm afraid that the thing in the deepest part of the dungeon will cause some trouble tonight."
Although he heard Shi Mu's report that nothing happened, Lei Pinghui was still very worried.
Hearing what Lei Pinghui said was the thing in the deepest part of the dungeon, Shi Mu's body trembled unconsciously. Thinking of the horror of that thing, he did not dare to delay any longer and immediately left the study room.
After Shi Mu left, Lei Pinghui was once again the only one left in the study. Looking at the drawing papers piled up on the table, Lei Pinghui put aside the failed ink painting and picked up another one.
The pen was stained with ink, and just as he wrote the first stroke on the paper, suddenly, there was an explosion sound from the northeast of the City Lord's Mansion, and the entire ground of the City Lord's Mansion shook.
Lei Pinghui, who was about to write a word, suddenly changed his face, all the indifference on his face disappeared, and he rushed out of the study room.
Standing outside, he looked to the northeast. Even though it was a long distance away, he could still feel that there was a large number of people gathering there.
The warrior's Qi and blood are very powerful, and the Qi and blood radiating out there are even more powerful. One can tell at a glance that there must be a lot of people gathered there.
Lei Pinghui's face became ugly, because that location was exactly where he was when he was in charge of the dungeon in Ningcheng. There were thousands of his personal guards guarding the outside of the dungeon. Even a second-grade warrior could not remain silent.
He broke in breathlessly.
Moreover, he set up a formation on the fifth floor of the dungeon. The formation was not very strong, but it was obtained by him personally going to a sect thousands of miles away. You must know that the cultivation of the formation is more difficult than
Ordinary martial arts training is more difficult, and there are only a few sects in the entire Le'an Mansion that can set up formations.
Although he is the lord of Zhining City, he cannot exchange for a powerful formation, so he can only exchange for a formation with a reminder function.
This formation's ability to block enemies is not high, but once someone sneaks into the fifth floor of the dungeon, a warning sound will immediately sound. In just a few breaths, the entire city lord's mansion will know that someone has sneaked into the dungeon.
"Who on earth can actually avoid my bodyguards and sneak into the dungeon? There must be a traitor!" The study is located in a very high position in the city lord's palace. Lei Pinghui stood here and looked into the distance intently. The next moment,
A general wearing armor quickly ran to his side.
"General Chen, summon all the troops in the inner city to guard the city lord's palace. The black-armored cavalry will block the exit of the dungeon. Send the personal guards and all warriors above the innate level to follow me down to the dungeon!"
"General, take your orders!" General Chen clasped his fists to receive his orders, then his body swayed and disappeared again.
After General Chen left, Lei Pinghui reached into the study and made a move. A long sword flew out of the study and landed on his hand. He jumped up and Lei Pinghui's body floated out.
…
In the dungeon of Zhining City, there are dozens of corpses lying on the fourth floor of the dungeon. The entire fourth floor of the dungeon is densely packed with people, hundreds of them, making the dungeon very crowded.
A huge gap was opened on one side of the dungeon wall, and there were still many people standing inside. Because the space on the fourth floor of the dungeon was limited, they could not all come out.
At the entrance of the fourth-floor dungeon to the fifth floor, Xu Qi and others were standing there, as well as the thirteen third-level warriors wearing masks. They had all entered the fifth floor.
The area of the fifth floor was several times larger than that of the fourth floor. As soon as they stepped in, lights suddenly lit up around the fifth floor dungeon, and a vague pattern emitted a loud sound.
The sound of explosions spread outside.
"Damn it, there is a formation!" The masked man in the center cursed, took a step forward, and pressed his palm towards the fifth floor of the dungeon. The force of his palm exploded, and a strong wind whipped up and fell into the dungeon.
The vague formation pattern turned into nothing.
"Such a big movement will definitely be discovered by Lei Pinghui, so we can only implement the plan in advance." Destroying the formation with one palm, the man said coldly.
Xu Qi took a step back and shouted to the back: "Everyone come out of the tunnel immediately. Houtian warriors go to the first three floors and release all the prisoners. Xiantian warriors release the prisoners on the fourth floor and delay them as much as possible."
People who live in government offices.
The rest of the first-grade warriors and the Houtian warriors who are on their first mission, come to the fifth floor immediately, hurry up!"
After giving the order, the rebels immediately moved into action. Yang Ze and his group of "blood eaters" were driven out of the tunnel by the rebels in the rear, and were driven to the fifth floor of the dungeon.
Yang Ze walked out along with the crowd and looked up at the locations of the dungeons on the upper floors. He heard that a large number of troops had gathered above and would kill them at any time.
