154 World Affairs (Xie Dong's eight-year-old leader)
Bang.
Zhou Shun's mansion was suddenly knocked open.
Groups of soldiers wearing red armor and holding spears rushed into it.
Two burly generals in dark red armor strode into the mansion.
"Where are the people?"
"Run away early."
"He can't run away. He is suspected of reselling weapons to Xiang Qiao for teaching, which is an unforgivable crime!"
The two generals glanced at the many servants in Zhou Shun's mansion who looked stunned.
"In the name of Commander-in-Chief Yuchi, search for me! No one is allowed to go out, and they must squat where they are!"
The huge mansion had more than a dozen houses connected together, and they were all surrounded by groups of red-armored Chijing troops outside.
The surrounding streets are also under martial law and no one is allowed to pass by at will.
On the surrounding rooftops, strong martial arts masters stood and surrounded each other, looking down from a high place.
Xie Yan actually stood among them, and together with several of her disciples, stared coldly at Zhou Shun's mansion.
"What a good Zhou Shun. He dared to do such evil things and even wanted to drag me into the water. Fortunately, I realized it in time." Xie Yan said coldly.
In fact, Mingwu and others were all fake. She had noticed it as early as when Zhou Shun started arresting people. She immediately felt something was wrong and went to find Chi Jingjun.
The result was just as she expected. Zhou Shun wanted to abscond in fear of crime and leave the blame to her.
Xie Yan immediately stopped and led people to search the house.
"Report! Someone at the east city gate has discovered the whereabouts of Zhou Shun and his party!" a soldier not far away shouted loudly, letting go of the carrier pigeon in his hand.
"Let's go!" Xie Yan said nothing, her figure flashed, and she hurried towards the east city gate. She wanted to make meritorious service as soon as possible and draw a clear line with Zhou Shun.
This crime of reselling weapons to provide teachings to Xiang is simply a piece of stinking shit, and anyone who touches it will be covered in a stench.
Now that the news has spread, even the Zhou family dare not say anything and give up on Zhou Shun by default.
Although it had been heard earlier that Zhou Shun's relationship with his family was not good, but in the current situation, the Zhou family gave up so decisively, which made Xie Yan feel cold.
In order to protect themselves, these big families' actions at critical times are far less humane than ordinary families.
At this time, it is at the east city gate.
Zhou Shun and his party have been surrounded by a large group of soldiers.
Near Chidao, the convoy of Zhou Shun and others was surrounded by a large number of red-armored soldiers, led by a dark-red armored general whose whole body and face were covered by a helmet.
"Master Zhou Shunzhou, it's so late, the city gate is about to close, where are you taking people to go in such a hurry?" The general's voice was old, and he was obviously not young.
"Xu Chi, you don't think you can stop me alone, do you?" Zhou Shun looked at the many soldiers who had surrounded him, and his heart quickly sank to the bottom.
But his expression remained unchanged, and he stood firmly in the middle circle with a calm tone.
This little formation can't surround him, but it's a pity that he has so many things and manpower around him.
After hearing that the ordnance had been discovered, he sensed something was wrong. He immediately gathered manpower and supplies and quickly headed outside the city, planning to leave.
As a result, I didn't expect Chi Jingjun to move so quickly.
Xu Chi is the number one general under Yuchi Zhong and one of the top three military experts in the entire Xuanjing City.
In addition, he also has another identity, that is, he is Yuchi Zhong's sworn brother.
"Zhou Shun, I always thought that as a Taizhou native, you have certain bottom lines for certain things, and you should know whether you can do them. Unfortunately..." Xu Chi sighed.
There were densely packed crossbows all around, pointing slantedly in the air to prevent anyone from escaping with their superb leg skills.
It was surrounded on all sides by spearmen with huge shields and spears standing in rows, like a metal jungle.
"You don't think you want to surround me with just a few manpower, do you?" Zhou Shun's expression remained unchanged. He had been prepared for a situation like today's situation since he decided to resell ordnance from the beginning, so he naturally didn't panic.
"Do you think you can leave?" Xu Chi said calmly, raising his hand.
The surrounding soldiers were struck, and rows of black gun barrels stretched out silently.
The barrel of the gun was completely black and more than one meter long. Its style was very similar to the rifle Wei He had seen in his previous life.
But the gun butt is not made of a solid material, but is made of some kind of keratin. Within it, you can vaguely see crystal blood veins like blood vessels flowing with dark red liquid.
Seeing so many muskets, Zhou Shun's expression finally changed.
With so many guns, even with his level of cultivation, he couldn't say that he would be able to escape easily.
"Okay, Clan Master Zhou, Lord Commander, I'm sorry that it's not easy for you to cultivate. If you tie your arms now and don't resist, we can still give you a lenient sentence..."
Bang!
There was a crisp sound in an instant, Zhou Shun raised his hand and threw something, and it exploded suddenly.
That thing exploded into a large cloud of black smoke, covering the surrounding area.
Although the line of sight was blocked, the surrounding Chijing troops did not panic at all and quickly opened fire.
Bang bang bang bang bang!!
Amidst the dense gunfire, large pieces of scattered bullets covered the sky.
Xu Chi pulled out the short gun from his back with one hand, and gathered all his strength into his hand. Circles of invisible air flow gathered and rotated at the tip of his short gun.
"go!"
He growled lowly, and shot out his short spear.
Click.
Wei He gently crushed a dead leaf and held a small cage in his hand. Inside the cage was a small light green insect that looked like a mantis.
Wang Shaojun stood beside him, wearing a silver mask on his face, looking at the distance of the East City Gate in the distance.
There was billowing smoke and continuous gunshots, and it seemed like there was a melee.
"You are quite loyal," Wei He said. "You are actually willing to take risks yourself."
"I just wanted to see what would happen if a master like Zhou Shun faced an artillery attack." Wang Shaojun said calmly.
Wei He was silent.
After the advent of firearms, the status of warriors was obviously threatened, and he could understand Wang Shaojun's thoughts.
Reluctance, doubt, disbelief, and instinctive rejection and refusal to accept.
These many emotions can blind people's vision and make them unable to see the true development of the times.
So Wang Shaojun came here to witness the power of firearms with his own eyes.
In the billowing smoke, only sparks could be seen flickering. Most of the people in Zhou Shun's convoy knelt down immediately, and the few who still wanted to resist were quickly beaten into pieces.
Only Zhou Shun and two martial arts disciples jumped up, broke through and ran towards the distance.
But before they could run far, the two martial artists were pierced from the back by two short spears and nailed to the ground.
Zhou Shun then used his backhand to deflect his short spear, and flew away with the help of his strength.
It was just that he was about to leave the encirclement completely.
In Chi Jing's army, a short spear suddenly let out a scream and burst out, much faster than the previous ones.
There is a faint white airflow around the short gun, which obviously does not exceed the sound barrier. It will show such an effect, and it is obviously attached to it with extremely strong force.
The short spear reflected the setting sun, like a red light, and suddenly hit Zhou Shun.
Bang!!
There was a loud bang and the short gun was knocked away.
Zhou Shun also groaned and flew backwards. He used his strength to quickly fly into the woods again.
There was a lot of blood scattered on the ground.
Two figures quickly ran out of Chi Jing's army and chased after him.
"Do you want to go?" Wei He asked.
"Zhou Shun is injured, and it's not serious. Do you think he can run away?" Wang Shaojun asked.
"in case."
"....You are quite cautious." Wang Shaojun was speechless. "Let's go."
The two of them also chased in the direction where Zhou Shun escaped.
Dense woods quickly passed by.
Soon, the two masters did not dare to pursue anymore. Xu Chi did not move. They were just martial arts masters and did not dare to get too close. Zhou Shun had been seriously injured. Even if he recovered from his injuries, there would be sequelae.
That short spear was quenched with poison.
However, the two men did not pursue, but Wei He and Wang Shaojun did not stop and continued to pursue.
Crossed several mountains in a row.
Zhou Shun finally stopped by a small lake.
The lake water is clear, with fallen leaves floating and small fish swimming.
Zhou Shun stood by the lake and looked forward.
Opposite the small lake, there was a tall man standing. He was holding a Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand, and he was wearing a black and red unicorn armor and a hundred-page skirt.
The man wore a pale golden ghost-faced helmet, with ferocious fangs, and eyes like copper bells, but there was only indifference and calmness in his brown pupils.
"Door...Master!!?" Zhou Shun's face changed color, his mind was shaken, his steps staggered, and he was almost unsteady on his feet.
He never expected that Shangguan Ji would be waiting for him here, and he would still be dressed like this.
He knew that the sect leader had been recruited and went to the battlefield, and the armor he was wearing now was the one he used on the battlefield.
"Mistakes always need to be made up for by someone," Shangguan Ji said calmly.
His voice was very low, always seeming to have a touch of depression and worry.
"Is this... cleaning up the house?" Zhou Shun suddenly understood.
He smiled miserably and pointed at Shangguan Ji.
"When I took action, you didn't mention it when I took the money. Now that I need someone to take the blame, you come to clean up the house. What a great idea!"
"I have never allowed you to sell arms." Shangguan Ji said calmly.
"Hehehe..." Zhou Shun already knew his ending today. If he didn't fight hard, he would really have no chance of survival.
He no longer hesitated, roared, and forced all his strength out of his bones and internal organs.
Waves of force circled around him, rolling up air currents and making a roaring sound.
He held his hands empty, and the muscles and blood vessels in his entire upper body expanded and expanded, splitting his robes, and they were at least twice as big as before.
Bang!
Zhou Shun exerted force with his feet and stepped into the lake. He flew across the small lake like an arrow and rushed towards Shangguan Ji.
After a while.
A figure covered in blood rushed into the dense forest and fled into the distance.
Shangguan Ji remained silent, turned around and walked towards the Thousand Bats Waterside Pavilion at Tianyin Gate.
It's not that he is soft-hearted, but he doesn't want to touch his old friend's life with his own hands.
Moreover, in the direction where Zhou Shun left, two people had been waiting for a long time.
Zhou Shun ran wildly all the way, constantly leaping between the branches of trees on his way.
He didn't expect that Shangguan Ji would do such a great job. He had worked hard for him for so many years, but in the end, he got this result.
By accident, he lost too much blood and fell into a trance. Zhou Shun stepped on the air and fell from the tree.
Bang.
He fell hard on a tree root protruding from the ground, and then rolled into the thick fallen leaves.
He was panting heavily, and his vision began to become blurry.
The poison on the short gun finally began to be uncontrollable at this time.
Suddenly, he faintly heard the sound of soft footsteps approaching.
Zhou Shun tried his best to open his eyes and looked at the approaching figure.
The man was tall and burly, about two meters tall. He was dressed in a gray suit that highlighted the outline of his strong muscles. His long black hair was spread over his shoulders, and his eyes were filled with confusion and astonishment.
Zhou Shun recognized the person.
"Master Zhou??! What's wrong with you?" Wei He stopped five meters away and looked at him in astonishment.
I also have four meat fields, one fine meat field... tens of thousands of gold tickets... If you help me, I will give them all to you!" Zhou Shun gasped with difficulty.
"High-quality meat field?" Wei He's heart moved. If there was a high-quality meat field, his cultivation speed would be much faster. With the powerful digestion power of the Realm Breaking Bead far exceeding that of other warriors, he could double his food intake again!
"Yes...if you...help me...I will definitely...give you everything you have!!" Zhou Shun begged.
"Sect Master Zhou...are you serious about this?" Wei He narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Seriously!" Zhou Shun nodded fiercely. "You help me find a safe place first, otherwise this place... this place will attract strange beasts..."
He was breathing heavily, gathering strength in his right hand. When Wei He approached, he restrained him and forced him to save him.
Although he is seriously injured now, it is still easy to deal with a mere martial artist. In other words, he has limited mobility and only has one strike left, otherwise he will not be an opponent even if he tries to forge the bones again.
"Okay!" Wei He had a plan in mind. Now that Zhou Shun has fallen to this level, he should not be able to make trouble.
And if he can get another high-quality meat farm, his progress in martial arts cultivation will be much faster in the future.
With a hint of greed in his heart, Wei He immediately stepped forward.
Suddenly his expression changed and he looked behind Zhou Shun.
"Be careful!" He whispered and quickly stepped forward to intercept.
Zhou Shun also felt a strong wind coming from behind him at this time. He didn't have time to think about it and wanted to roll over to avoid it.
Bang!!
Suddenly, Wei He's palm collided hard with a white jade-like palm behind his back, canceling out most of the force, but some of the force still hit Zhou Shun's vest.
"Master Zhou!" Wei He hurriedly picked up Zhou Shun and jumped up.
But at this time Zhou Shun was already dying. He was caught off guard and was hit in the back with a palm.
The power of the last blow he gathered was also scattered.
His pupils were blurred, and he felt that the poison in his body had begun to take effect. He knew that he was about to die...
"Master Zhou! Wake up! Wake up quickly!" Wei He took out a handful of healing elixirs from his body while running away, and stuffed it into Zhou Shun's mouth.
But his mouth was full of blood foam, which almost blocked his throat and he couldn't swallow at all.
Blood and water kept pouring out, and I couldn't eat anything.
"I...I can't do it anymore...!" Zhou Shun firmly grabbed Wei He's hand.
"Please... please... find Yu Gui... Yu Gui..." His eyes widened and his pupils began to blur.
"My things are on my back...all for you...to find...to find..."
Zhou Shun's eyes became increasingly unfocused.
I promise you! I will definitely find Mr. Zhou Yugui!" Wei He said solemnly.
Zhou Shun's face finally calmed down after receiving the promise. He raised his hand as if he wanted to grab something.
Throughout his life, everything he did was for himself, but at the last moment, the only thing he thought about was his son.
With a snap, the hand fell heavily.
Zhou Shun completely lost his life.
Wei He called softly a few times, and after confirming that he was no longer breathing, he gently put the body down.
After a while.
The trees on the side shook, and white shadows flashed past.

"Do you really want to help him find his son?" Wang Shaojun came out from the side.
Wei He shook his head.
"Can't find it."
"Are you so sure?" Wang Shaojun was surprised.
Wei He raised his head.
"Because I killed the person with my own hands."
"..." Wang Shaojun was immediately speechless. He looked at Zhou Shun on the ground, and then at Wei He who looked calm.
