Chapter 344 Shameless Declaration of War
Yuan Er is a very smart monkey, so smart that most humans are far less intelligent than him. Otherwise, he would not have been able to be the local emperor in Xiangcheng for so many years without being discovered by anyone.
If he wanted to, it would be impossible for Lan Rong to find him in such a big city like Nanyang relying on his own strength.
It’s a pity that Lan Rong’s rise to the position of a local governor wasn’t entirely due to his cultivation.
Zhao Yushu looked up at the two monkey corpses hanging high on the flagpole at the South City Gate, feeling an indescribable feeling.
The two corpses can be seen inside and outside the city. Lan Rong moved out of the government office himself and lived inside the South City Gate. Yuan Er and Yuan Da, are you coming or not?
If you come, let's fight it out openly. If you don't come, Lan Rong won't suffer any loss. As for whether there will be any rift within the Yuan family because of this.
Oh, it’s none of my business.
In front of Lan Rong stood a cultivator who was only at the first level.
The cultivator was a little nervous. The middle-aged man in front of him was not only the lord of a city, but also a great cultivator of the seventh heaven, whom he had never dared to think about in his entire life. The overflowing aura alone was enough to make him tremble.
"Do you understand animal language?"
"Your Excellency, I was a hunter before I became enlightened. I do not understand animal language, but the communication between animals is far less sophisticated than that of us. I can only roughly express some superficial meanings. I may not understand what they are saying specifically, but the general meaning is correct."
Lan Rong nodded and said, "Okay, you will sit here with me for the next two days and listen to what those beasts say. I will reward you handsomely later."
The hunter was overjoyed and bowed quickly and sat down.
Zhao Yushu was sitting on the side of the city gate, not far from Lan Rong.
Although Lan Rong rejected his request for help at first, Dean Wang also believed that since Zhao Yushu was able to kill three monkeys in a row, his strength was still acceptable. Moreover, if Lan Rong acted alone and let a few more monkeys escape, they would definitely take revenge on the people of Nanyang in the future. Lan Rong reluctantly agreed.
The division of labor between the two was simple. If Yuan Er in the city took action, Zhao Yushu would deal with him. If he could take him down alone, that would be the best. If not, he would have to stick to him and not let him cooperate with the monkeys outside the city.
If the big ape outside the city attacks first, Lan Rong will lead the monks from the government office to stop them first. Zhao Yushu will not take action until the second ape appears.
The core of the whole plan is that Ape Da and his men cannot enter the city, and Ape Er must be captured because he is the brain of the entire Ape family. Once he dies, all that will be left of the Ape family will be a group of stronger beasts.
Yuan Da used all his strength to suppress his two angry brothers.
When the two monkey bodies were hung on the city gate, Monkey Five went crazy first. It was the dumbest and couldn't even learn human language. At the same time, it was the most naive and simply thought that it was not good to let its brothers' bodies hang there exposed to the wind and sun, so it wanted to snatch the bodies back.
But Yuan Da wouldn't let it go!
There is a Lan Rong who is at the seventh level in the city. Although he is also at the seventh level, there are also differences in the levels of the seventh level. Yuan Da is not sure he can win, and he is not even sure he can tie.
There is also a Mr. Six in the city who can kill three brothers in succession under siege and even force himself to retreat.
It's easy to tell that these two people must be waiting under the corpse, waiting for me to fall into their trap.
Although Yuan Da is ruthless and calm, he is not smart. At this time, he knows that he has to wait for news from Yuan Er and wait for a perfect plan.
Yuan Er hid in the woodshed of a large courtyard. In just one night, Lan Rong pasted his portrait all over the city of Nanyang. He even specially noted his short stature. The reward was quite generous. For a while, apart from the government, even the city scumbags started to move.
Clearly, he had come to kill Zhao Yushu for the bounty, but in the blink of an eye, he had become the person on whom the bounty was placed. Was his decision too impulsive?
However, his family property was acquired in this way, and even the identity of Yuan Xiang was acquired in this way. If he was timid in everything, he would now be just a little monkey on the Yuanshen Mountain.
Don’t regret once you’ve made a decision. No one will give wealth and glory to you, you can only steal them!
"Yusan, how are you?"
Yuan San poked his head out from his sleeves and said, "If I run away, without Yuan Si, I can only hold on for one stick of incense. If I fight hard, ten breaths is the limit."
Yuan Er hesitated for a moment: "After ten breaths, what will happen to you?"
"Saruji, don't hesitate, I'm just going home."
Yuan Er lowered his head and said, "If you die, I will kill all the mortals in Nanyang and bury them with you."
Yuan Er quietly walked out of the woodshed. He had a plan. Yuan Er always had a plan. Even if the plan was simple, it would definitely be useful.
A convoy slowly walked out of the west city gate. It was just an ordinary merchant caravan, nothing special.
However, not long after the caravan left the city, a very loud ape cry exploded in the city.
Zhao Yushu stood up suddenly. How could it be the west of the city? !
Lan Rong frowned slightly: "What did that beast say?"
The hunter pricked up his ears and listened hard. Soon, another louder voice sounded from outside the city, and the hunter's face changed drastically!
"My Lord! They said, kill all these mortals!"
"Zhao Yushu, don't move. I'll go over there." Lan Rong jumped down from the top of the city wall and rushed over directly from outside the city.
Zhao Yushu stood on the city wall, looking at the monkey corpse floating slightly in the autumn wind, his eyes flickering.
There was chaos outside the west city gate. The soldiers guarding the city shot wave after wave of crossbow arrows at the giant ape. The merchant caravan outside the city cried and ran into the city, but under the pursuit of Yuan Da and Yuan Jiu, almost no one escaped.
A white cloth was covering a damaged car, with a few large words written in blood on it, but the blood had dried. It looked like someone had written it in advance and secretly placed it in the convoy, and then Yuan Da took it out. The content was very simple: "Release my brother."
Lan Rong's speed was quite fast, but he was still a step too late. The three evil apes ran away after killing them. If Lan Rong tried to chase them, they would divert him away, and he would be in a three-on-one situation. Without the cooperation of other monks from the government office, Lan Rong had no confidence in defeating the three monkeys in the mountains.
The corpses on the ground completely enraged Lan Rong. His muscles tensed, and he stood at the highest point of the west city gate. He waved his hand violently, and a water ball emerged.
"Yuan Xiang, you asked for this!"
A shrill howl was heard, and with Lan Rong's special blessing, the scream was heard for several miles, and one of Yuan San's thin arms was cut off at the root.
"Fuck it, let's go to Beicheng and kill again!" Yuan Jiu roared, "As long as we kill enough, I don't believe Lan Rong will dare not let Yuan San go!"
"Shut up! The most important thing now is to wait!"
"Wait for what the hell!"
"Wait for the signal from Yuan Er."
Yuan Er watched coldly from the window of a civilian house as the arrogant Lan Rong tortured Yuan San. Behind him lay several corpses, whose blood had almost been drained out to be used to make the declaration of war outside the city.
Yuan Er's plan was very simple. He would use the lives of all the mortals in the city to force Lan Rong to compromise. If Lan Rong did not compromise, these innocent mortals would be buried with his brothers. If Lan Rong let Yuan San go, they would not stop.
I heard that Mr. Liu is a kind and righteous person, so it is not too much to cut off one of his arms for the sake of the people in the city.
