C162 stowaway column
"Boom!" The two groups of people finally started fighting, and suddenly the situation went out of control. Everything was thrown into chaos, with people holding knives, sticks, stools, stones and other tools everywhere, calling out to people they knew or not, and the whole market completely entered a state of 'blade light' and 'sword shadow' fighting.
Someone stood on the stand, wanting to win with height, but he couldn't stand up as someone attacked his leg with a stick, and he was instantly knocked down, but before he could get up, he was surrounded and beaten up by a few people; someone was already covered with blood, and his eyes were even covered with blood, but he still kept chopping at people who were rushing towards him; and someone was holding two burdens, one in each hand, one up and one down, and swinging them from time to time, with the posture of 'a man unable to fight against ten thousand enemies'.
Wu Daode had run the Fengyang City for many years, but he had never seen such a large scale gang fight before. But the strange thing was that the general was still unmoved.
"This... "This..." Wu Daode was anxious and panicked at the same time. He had five hundred thousand silver taels with him, if anything were to happen to him in such a chaotic and uncontrollable situation, it would be a disaster that would lead to annihilation.
At this moment, Wu Daode wanted to kill the city guard general today. How could he not know that a large scale gang fight had occurred?
However, Wu Daode was wrong about the City Guardian General, and he was in a difficult position, because he was unable to reach the battlefield where the group battle took place. The reason was that several major streets in the direction of Southern City were blocked by the convoy of several large clans, and these large clans were all rushing towards the Southern City to visit the Situ Family.
If it was just a few large clans alone, then it would be impossible to block the road like this. The key point was that on several important roads, there were many conflicts and conflicts between traveling merchants and merchants because of trivial matters. This further led to the phenomenon of 'traffic jams'.
These merchants' carriages were not inexplicably damaged, or their trucks were overturned, or their horses were frightened and knocked over the goods of other caravans along the way.
For a time, the entire southern part of the city was in chaos. Strange things happened one after another, and more and more roads were blocked. In this situation, unless he could fly over, he could only wait here anxiously.
As for the South City Gate, which was closest to them, there were not many soldiers guarding the city during the peace period. As for the South City Gate, which was closest to them, there were not many soldiers guarding the city during the peace period.
Therefore, other than the City Defense Army sending their troops to suppress them, the dozen or so people from the Southern City Defense Forces would not be of much use here. As for the City Defense Army, they could at most be considered as an incompetent 'traffic warden'. They had been guiding the way for half a day, but the situation was getting worse and worse.
On Wu Daode's side, the situation was becoming more and more dangerous. It was already at the point where there was no time to delay, a few of the people fighting in the chaotic battle had already stood up and started fighting on the boxes containing the silver.
"Master, the situation has gone out of control, it has gone out of control. Let's execute the backup plan!" Qian Jincheng crawled and tumbled until he was beside Wu Daode, gasping for breath, he opened his mouth and spoke to Wu Daode.
"You have a backup plan?" Wu Daode was both surprised and happy. He wanted to hug this Grand Master and give him a kiss.
"Yes, we made a backup plan. There is a small road over there that can only be passed by a car. We can go there and reach the south gate very quickly." Qian Jincheng explained with a 'chain gun' sound.
"Then hurry up!" Wu Daode shouted loudly.
"Alright, old master. I will arrange it right away!" Qian Jincheng had no choice but to turn his head and reply to the middle-aged man in charge of the shop: "Standby plan, walk that way, quickly!"
"Alright!" The middle-aged merchant was also frightened. He staggered to the front of the group and began to lead the team to change directions. He also called for four to five muscular men to clean up the road.
It seemed that this backup plan was very effective. Although the speed was a bit slow, more and more carriages entered the alleyway.
Seeing that his silver boxes were the first to enter the alleyway, Wu Daode's anxious heart finally relaxed. At this moment, he did not care about the goods in the caravan anymore, he rushed forward, and rushed to enter the alleyway before the caravan could.
However, he couldn't tell what exactly had changed. It was as if a voice in his heart was telling him what was not right, but he looked at the convoy in front of him and repeatedly checked the number of boxes on the horse several times to confirm that they were right. Wu Daode's tensed heart calmed down once again, and treated the strange feeling from before as an illusion, as if he didn't care anymore. Thus, Wu Daode followed behind the convoy with a peace of mind, not daring to take his eyes off the dozens of boxes of silver.
At this moment, Gongsun Ze Tian, who was on top of the Southern City Tower, curled his lips and said with dissatisfaction: "Qiong Yu's level of illusion techniques has yet to be improved, and her mind is also lacking a little bit. "Sigh!"
"Don't ask for so much, you have to eat it one bite at a time!" Leng Nuohan looked at everything that had happened. Although she felt that Qiong Yu had indeed been careless just now, she still consoled Gongsun Ze Tian.
"You don't understand, but it's a good thing that Wu Daode is an idiot. Once a person is careful enough, he will immediately realize that he is in an illusion. You can't afford to be careless in the slightest! " Gongsun Ze Tian shook his head. He felt that it was necessary for him to teach Qiong Yu a little bit about illusions.
Originally, Gongsun Ze Tian had prepared a large amount of fireworks in order to use this kind of smoke screen to block Wu Daode's line of sight, so as to be able to secretly change the pillars of light, but in the end, Gongsun Ze Tian had changed his plans. He wanted to use Qiong Yu's illusion techniques to do some work.
Even if they found a few blockages in the southern part of the city, they would not be able to find out about it. After all, the Situ Family and the calm invitation to the other families and factions were only temporary in nature, and although the caravan disputes happened at the same time, the merchants did not know each other, and there were no Listening Rain Pavilion people amongst them. Even if they could find out about the malicious intent of the people, they would at most not be able to find any people.
The only failure in everything was the instant he entered the alley, why did he say that it was a failure? It was because Qiong Yu's illusion had overlooked one thing, and that was the entrance.
This kind of illusion was actually very simple. It was to make use of the principle of similar imaging, pulling the walls of the houses on both sides closer together, so that Wu Daode, who had entered the illusion world, could directly think that he could only pass through one carriage at a time. At the same time, the illusion technique also allowed Wu Daode to see the dozens of boxes of silver he had been paying attention to.
Next to the real box was an identical caravan. The inside of the box was not made of silver, but cheap tin ingots. The weight was about the same, but the price was pitifully low.
They knew what to do. After entering the alley, they stopped the car on one side in order, and on the other side, they drove out of the alley while pushing a flatbed wagon or horse carriage that was filled with tin ingots, looking exactly the same as the ones they had before. They drove the car as if nothing had happened.
The only thing that affected the entire illusion was Wu Daode. Perhaps it was because he was too anxious to enter the alley, but due to Wu Daode suddenly charging in, he made Qiong Yu surprised for a moment before setting up the illusion domain. This caused the illusion formation to be a second slower, and allowed Wu Daode to see the true width of the alley.
This act of stealing a pillar of fortune was completed in an instant. While sighing over the magic of the illusion technique, he also had no choice but to summarize and improve the flaws that appeared in the quest.
"Mm, you're right, but at least we didn't ruin anything big this time!" Leng Nuohan thought about it, and felt that Gongsun Ze Tian's words were reasonable, so she didn't oppose Gongsun Ze Tian's words anymore.
In a battle between life and death, one actually wasn't competing in terms of strength. Rather, one was competing in terms of who made fewer mistakes. Only those who made fewer mistakes and didn't make any mistakes and seized the opportunity to make mistakes could laugh to the end. He was also the only one who could survive a battle of life and death.
"He should still be scolded!" Let this girl have a good memory! " Gongsun Ztian was still somewhat angry, he did not notice the way they addressed him at all.
"Hehe, I really don't understand. You're the child, right? You make it seem like others are younger than you." Leng Nuohan said somewhat mischievously.
"Err ?" They always called her Little Lan Er girl, saying that they were used to it, they're used to it! " Gongsun Ze's mind raced as he quickly found an excuse to explain.
"Ha ha!" Leng Nuohan did not say anything, but a thoughtful look flashed past her eyes.
Actually, Leng Nuohan knew a lot, but Gongsun Ze Tian didn't know everything about him.
Wu Daode's convoy smoothly arrived at the southern gate, and because of the chaos, the people guarding the city gate did not have the mood to check what was in the chest, and let them go.
was secretly pleased with this point. He had originally thought that it would be a waste of time to talk about it. He never thought that leaving the city would result in such a smooth process. Just now, Wu Daode was lamenting about the fact that he had encountered such a large-scale gang fight, and now, he was rejoicing that he had encountered such a strange gang fight.
Gongsun Ztian and company watched as the caravan slowly left the city, heading towards the decimetine outside the city. The corners of their mouths unconsciously curled up, causing the two girls beside them to feel an evil aura surrounding them.
Gongsun Zaitian did not want them to be found out about the large amount of tin ingots at the city gate. This would not benefit him in any way, and instead alert the enemy, so Gongsun Zaitian set up this gang fight. The two sides who were acting as the lead actors were the two underground factions in the city, and they were usually quite hostile towards each other.
As for how to stir up a fight between these two groups, of course, it will be done by the two leaders of the underground powers who are the first to stir up trouble, and at this moment, even if you were to go through all the fights, you will never be able to find these two people. Perhaps you will be able to find two people in a corner who have the same physique and clothes as these two people, but their appearance has already been destroyed.
"I wish you all the best of luck!" After Gongsun Ze Tian left these words, he brought Leng Nuohan and left the South City Tower. Because the two of them still had to rush back to Situ Family to attend the grand banquet.
