Odick called, but no one answered the phone.

"Maybe it was silent during the meeting..." Odick gave his guess while running.

Neither Jiang Baimian nor Shang Jianyao spoke, and rushed to follow behind.

…………

The city lord's mansion, the nobles' meeting hall.

A long table was placed in the center, with the top of which was Xu Liyan, the city lord with luxurious clothes, and three people sat on each side.

These are the seven great nobles and members of the council at the top of the Wild Grass City. However, since Xu Erde, the center of power has been shifting to the city hall and the city defense force. The city lord who controls these two departments and has the support of a certain force in the "First City" has gradually undermined the aristocratic council.

However, in the current critical situation, even if Xuerde resurrected, he would not dare to ignore the opinions of the other six great nobles.

They have private soldiers, manors, populations, and various resource reserves. If they take advantage of the chaos and gather the wilderness wanderers, it will be enough to change the wild grass city.

At this time, in the conference hall, there were only two guards behind each great noble, even the city lord Xu Liyan.

This is the rule that gradually "formed" after repeated frictions, leaks of secrets, coups, and bleeding incidents after the establishment of the Council:

Anyone who enters the meeting hall can only bring two bodyguards at most.

Similarly, the great nobles and bodyguards can carry weapons but cannot be exposed.

The regulation of weapons in Wild Grass City originated from the Council.

——At that time, the leaders of various armed groups were not allowed to bring their guards with weapons. They must be afraid of being attacked, and were worried that the city lord would suddenly fall off his cup, rush in dozens or hundreds of gunmen, and shoot in a flash. If they were asked to take them, they would have confidence in their hearts, and they were all figures who had experienced chaotic times and were bleeding from the guns. A small battle might break out on the spot, which would involve others.

Therefore, they can only put the guard outside and bring only a certain number of bodyguards to discuss matters. At the same time, the weapons must be hidden well and cannot be seen, that is, they must be placed in places that are inconvenient to use. In this way, if they want to pull the gun and blow the heads of political enemies, they will have a buffering room, giving the neutral person a chance to stop it, so that he can calm himself down. In addition, they will also worry about whether the position of their guns is not good enough. If they draw it a few seconds or even more than ten seconds later, the fun will be greater. It is better to be calm and just quarrel without moving the gun.

As a supporting package, similar gatherings will be strictly inspected for explosives, so as not to sacrifice a happy family.

At this time, on the left was Jing Nian, a mechanical monk wearing a robe, and on the right was his assistant, Uncle Liu, who happened to be a Wu and Wen.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that Uncle Liu has no combat power.

When he was young, he held two guns and killed many enemies who wanted to break through the Wild Grass City and those who were bleeding coups.

However, he is now older and angry, and finds that he has greater talent in handling political affairs, so his catchphrase becomes "Everyone should be more important to be harmonious."

Xu Liyan looked around and said with a smile:

"Uncles and uncles, you should have seen what it looks like outside."

Seeing that his posture was very low, Zhao Zhengqi, the leader of the Zhao Mansion, touched the beard on his chin and said:

"City Lord, what do you mean? This is everyone's Wild Grass City, and there are still people who are unwilling to contribute?"

Zhao Zhengqi is over fifty years old and his beard is a little gray. In the generally thin gray soil, he is so fat that it is impressive.

The bodyguard behind him was one of his own death soldiers and the other was his eldest son in his early thirties. He mainly brought him familiar with the style and procedures of the aristocratic council.

Everyone’s Wild Grass City... Xu Liyan sneered secretly and said sincerely:

"Now there are many casualties and the staff are very tight. The wilderness wanderers may break through the defense line of the municipal building at any time and rush into the North Street. I hope that all uncles and uncles will send out the private troops in their respective mansions to form a team to fight a counterattack, and try to break up and drive them out of the city before the wilderness wanderers are truly organized."

Zhao Zhengqi glanced at his children's in-laws, Merridge, and asked him to speak first.

The Merridge family is from the Red River race, but after several generations of marriage, he also has obvious characteristics of gray-eared people, with softer facial features and not so thick pores.

He has yellow hair and blue eyes, heavy nasolabial folds, and always speaks slowly, as if the sky falls and nothing big happens:

"City Lord, it's okay to send private troops. Wild Grass City belongs to everyone, can we still sit idly by?

"As long as we leave behind people to protect the mansion, everyone else can obey your arrangements.

"But, our people are not regular soldiers, but trained to protect manors and manors. Letting them fight counterattacks is not only a difficult situation, but may not have good results.

"Why not like this, let our people replace the city defense force and your guards, guard the North Bridge and the Municipal Building, and let the replaced regular troops do counterattack?"

Because Xu Liyan spoke in the dusty language, Merridge used the same language, and his words were straightforward and skillful, he could make considerable efforts at first glance.

As soon as Merridge finished speaking, Zhao Zhengqi and other noble members immediately agreed, saying that this is the reason.

Xu Liyan's forehead leaped with blue veins, and his hands holding the sides of the chair tightened unconsciously.

After receiving Uncle Liu's look of "harmony is the most important", he squeezed out a smile and said:

"I can understand the concerns of all uncles and uncles. I also plan to select a group of uninjured personnel from the city defense force and guards, form a team alone, and do counterattacks. However, this number may not be enough. At that time, I have to choose some from your private army."

After taking a look at each other, Zhao Zhengqi nodded first:

"Okay, that's it."

Other noble MPs did not bother with this issue anymore.

This is because they have their own interests in East Street, West Street and South Street. Either the actual owners of some warehouses, hotel owners, grain shop owners, and nightclub major shareholders, all eagerly hope to solve the wilderness wanderers as soon as possible, so that their property will be less severely damaged.

After conveying this decision, let it take effect, Xu Liyan turned to the second topic:

"Uncles and uncles, the riots should be settled soon. We have to discuss how to recover.

"Beyond North Street, I don't know how many civilians were killed and robbed. The next winter will be very difficult. I am willing to take the lead and donate some of the food to help them so that they can survive until the situation improves. Well, some medical supplies must be donated, and there must be many injured people, and there may not be any money to pay."

As soon as Xu Liyan finished speaking, Zhao Zhengqi shook his head in a rattle-like manner and said:

“We don’t have any surplus food either.

"Besides, in just one morning, how much food can the city lose? They are more frugal and it will be no problem to spend a winter."

What a joke, this is not one's own "property", why should we help them?

"Yes," Merridge echoed, "What does it matter if you die some civilians? Anyway, our slaves are enough."

"That is, if you dare to make trouble, you will drive out to be a wilderness wanderer." Another noble MP Zhang Wenxin expressed his opinion, "When the situation stabilizes, as long as we have food to sell, some people come to Wild Grass City to make up for the manpower gap."

Listening to their objections, Xu Liyan raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and felt his head buzzing.

He barely maintained his demeanor and analyzed his excellence:

"We have to consider that the soldiers' families live outside North Street, if they turn against each other, we can only escape to the original city."

Zhao Zhengqi laughed:

"City Lord, don't worry, our private army's family is in the manor."

But the city defense force is not... Xu Liyan only felt the blue veins on his forehead leaping more and more violently.

In the different oppositions of several other noble parliamentarians, not only did his mind buzz, but there seemed to be an illusory voice shouting in his ears:

"Blow them to death!

"Blow them to death!"

Xu Liyan's eyes gradually became a little dazed. He supported his head with one hand and reached into his pocket with the other, and took out a small black remote control.

"Blow them to death!

"Blow them to death!"

The devil's roar kept echoing in his ears, causing his breath to gradually heavier.

At this moment, the door of the noble chamber was opened.

A guard shouted inside:

"Lord, Mr. Odick has something urgent to see you!"

Jiang Baimian at the door had excellent eyesight. At first glance, he found that Xu Liyan's eyes were wrong.

That was confused and crazy.

"Quick!" While reminding Odick, she immediately pulled out her pistol and fired a shot at the crystal chandelier above the long table in the nobles' chamber.

Shang Jianyao pulled out his gun and turned around, helping Jiang Baimian to guard his back.

The bang and clamor sounded at the same time, and a large number of glass fragments fell down.

Except for Xu Liyan, the nobles present were not young and had experienced some wars and riots. They were very sensitive to gunfire and responded immediately.

Merridge, who spoke slowly, slid down directly and hid at the bottom of the table. The fat and fat Zhao Zhengqi hugged, rushed away from the seat quickly, pulled his eldest son, and rushed into the corner...

Their bodyguards pulled out their guns, looked for positions, and aimed at the door.

The gunshot also shocked Xu Liyan, who was in charge of the leader, and made him wake up a little from the devil's roar, and his movements paused.

But this little awakening was soon submerged again. Xu Liyan swept around with red eyes and pressed the remote control in his hand.

At this time, his eyelids suddenly became heavier, and he instantly lost consciousness, leaned back on the back of the chair, as if he was in deep sleep.

Odick seized the short gap created by Jiang Baimian and rushed forward and rolled over and over, which narrowed the distance between him and Xu Liyan to a level that was enough to use "forced sleep"!

Then, he saw the black and thick barrel.

This is "extended" from the hand of the mechanical monk Jingnian.

"The city lord was hypnotized by the 'priest' and wanted to die with the people here!" Odick quickly shouted out his own guess.

This sentence caused the counterattack of the bodyguards in the room and the guards outside the room to abruptly stop, and they confronted Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao.

While continuing to aim at Odick, the mechanical monk Jing Nian stretched out his metal arm and forcibly pulled Xu Liyan's coat away.

The situation of the city lord was immediately revealed.

He tied explosives several times around his waist, all of which were high-performance products from "Orange" company.

Once this explodes, not only will the people in the noble chamber not be spared, but even the next door and next door will be destroyed.
