C35 Take down the Old City Lord
Heaven Prayer Square.
By the time Ma Jin and his men returned to the plaza, the city had stopped shaking. Everyone was extremely excited and cheered loudly.
Seeing Ma Jin arrive, the old city lord welcomed him.
The old city lord's eyes revealed a trace of coldness. Just now, 'Black Uniform Army Number 3' had sent someone to report to him that the stranger had gone to find Ma Jin. The old city lord guessed that the stranger should be an outsider, so he wanted Ma Jin to get off the stage as soon as possible. Otherwise, their plan would be ruined.
"General Ma, since the matter here is over, please explain to everyone about the sacrifice of the city guards later."
When Ma Jin heard the old city lord's words, how could he not understand his intentions? It was just that at this moment, the lives of the citizens were at stake, so he could not be bothered to bicker with him. With a cold snort, he walked straight over.
The anger in the old city lord's heart increased even more. He guessed that Ma Jin might have known something, which made him want to get rid of Ma Jin as soon as possible.
The old city lord waved to Ah Fu beside him. Ah Fu quickly went up to greet him. The old city lord whispered a few words into Ah Fu's ear. Ah Fu nodded and left.
The horses entered the square, and the surrounding city people quickly surrounded them.
"General Ma, is it safe now?"
"General Ma, can we go home now?"
"Yes, General Ma, the house must be in chaos. We need to go back and pack up."
...
The townspeople started to ask Ma Jin about it. Ma Jin held his hand and gestured for everyone to stop.
The townsfolk were very convinced of Ma Jin and immediately quieted down.
Ma Jin organized his words and said in a deep voice.
"townsfolk, I have good news and bad news to tell everyone."
The city people looked at Ma Jin in confusion, not understanding what he meant.
Ma Jin continued.
"I'll tell you the good news first. The city is safe for now. Next, I'll take everyone out of Worryfree City and go to the outside world."
"What?"
"Is that true?"
"Can we go out now?" Wang Yao asked. That's great."
...
Ma Jin's words immediately caused a huge commotion. The townsfolk started shouting excitedly.
The old city lord's expression immediately darkened. After all, most of the families he fought for were on his side because he was able to bring them out of Worryfree City. It would be a different story if the horses could enter the city as well.
Whether Ma Jin really knew about the exit or not, he didn't know. After all, the exit was so hidden that no one knew about it. However, he knew Ma Jin's character, so he definitely wouldn't speak carelessly.
However, he was not worried. After all, he still had the trump card of the 'Black Uniform Army'. At most, he could suppress it with force. It would just take a little more effort.
Ma Jin once again gestured for everyone to stop. At this time, the townspeople were incomparably excited. When they heard that Ma Jin could bring them out of this place, they wanted to hear what Ma Jin wanted to say.
Ma Jin said in a deep voice once again.
"The good news is very exciting. Then I'll have to say some bad news. The bad news is that our Worryfree City is going to disappear soon. We won't be able to come back in the future. Also, someone has discovered this tunnel. Moreover, someone has been stationed there. Everyone says that if someone stops us from leaving, what should we do? "
Ma Jin's words were very bewitching. Immediately, the citizens of the city shouted with righteous indignation, and their shouts shook the sky.
"Kill them."
"Kill them all."
...
"That's right. Anyone who dares to stop us will have to kill them. I can tell everyone that someone has already left Worryfree City and gone outside. He has been hiding it from us for more than 20 years."
"Wah..."
Ma Jin's words were like a drop of water dripping into a pot of oil. The townspeople began to discuss among themselves. In the end, they unconsciously turned their eyes to the old city lord.
The old city lord's expression immediately became extremely gloomy. He did not know how much Ma Jin knew and how he knew. It was just that he still needed some time at this moment, so he directly walked to the plaza and stood opposite Ma Jin.
"General Ma, what do you mean by that? I won't say it for now, but what proof do you have to say these words? Do you think that it is possible for the city to turn into nothingness? "Moreover, I just asked you to explain the matter of the city guards' sacrifice. You are talking about this right now. Can I understand that you want to silence them and then no one will pursue your mistake?"
The old city lord's voice was very loud, and everyone present heard it.
At this time, a small portion of people began to waver. After all, the old city lord's words sounded reasonable, and most people chose to believe Ma Jin. After all, from a normal person's perspective, Ma Jin was more convincing.
Moreover, the city lord had disappeared for more than 20 years. Everyone had already guessed this.
As for the families that were pulled over by the old city lord, they now firmly believed Ma Jin's words. After all, the old city lord's agreement completely coincided with Ma Jin's narration.
However, they vaguely knew some of the old city lord's trump cards. At this moment, they were standing aside and watching the show. They wanted to see the battle between the two kings of Worryfree City. As long as they could get out, it would be fine.
Ma Jin stared at the old city lord with a sharp gaze. The old city lord felt a little scared when he was stared at. He unconsciously took a step back. After all, Ma Jin was the commander of the city guards. He had been training and fighting all year round. How could the old city lord, who had been living a comfortable life, be able to withstand his might?
"Hmph! Old city lord, I respect you for calling me old city lord. However, if you want to take the lives of the city residents for your own selfish reasons, you don't have to care about it. Then I can only offend you. "
"Heh! Offended?"
The old city lord sneered and coldly said.
"Ma Jin, I think you can't tell who the lord is, right? Don't think that just because you're a city guard general, managing the city affairs for the time being is already very impressive. The surname of Worryfree City is Liu, but it is not Ma."
"Humph! This Worryfree City is everyone's' Worryfree City ', and its surname is neither Liu nor Ma. I think your family wants to sit on the dragon throne. Don't forget our original intention when Worryfree City was established. "
Ma Jin retorted. The old city lord did not know how to respond. After all, his reinforcements had not arrived yet. If he could not express his ambitions now, perhaps he would be surrounded and killed by the townspeople.
The old city lord only snorted coldly and looked anxiously in the direction of the city lord's manor. He did not understand why Ah Fu had not returned after being gone for so long.
Ma Jin knew that the old city lord must be waiting for reinforcements. At this moment, he had no choice but to make the first move. Otherwise, when Lin Feng returned, he still wouldn't be able to leave with his men.
Ma Jin signaled Chen Feng with his eyes. Chen Feng understood and led a few city guards to surround the old city lord.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the old city lord took out a pistol from his waist and aimed it at Chen Feng and the city guards, shouting loudly.
"Don't come over, if you come again, I will shoot."
Chen Feng and the others did not know what a gun was. They looked contemptuously at the palm-sized black thing in the old city lord's hand and continued to surround it.
"Bang..."
"Ah...
Seeing that his shout could not be stopped, the old city lord decisively chose to open fire. A guard soldier fell to the ground. Blood immediately flowed out from his shoulder.
"Hidden weapon?"
Ma Jin was shocked. He did not know what the old city lord had in his hands. He just thought that it was some powerful hidden weapon. He did not want to let the few remaining city guards suffer any more casualties.
Ma Jin did not hesitate and shouted.
"Retreat! Give me the spear!"
A city guard threw the spear towards Ma Jin. Ma Jin took the spear and rushed towards the old city lord.
The old city lord was shocked. After all, bullets were limited. If he could not scare them, it would be troublesome. He did not hesitate anymore. He fired a shot at the horse.
"Bang..."
However, the old city lord's marksmanship was really average. He had shot to an unknown place.
Without waiting for the old city lord to open fire again, Ma Jin raised his spear and removed the pistol from the old city lord's hand. Then, he pointed it at the old city lord's throat.
The old city lord did not dare to move. After all, he had to rely on his walking stick to move now. Without a gun, what else could he do?
Ma Jin snorted.
"Take it down."
"Yes."
Chen Feng and the others quickly went up and tied up the old city lord. They had no scruples at all. After all, in their hearts, only Ma Jin, the general, and the others had to stand aside.
