Chapter 40
Your Father have avenged for you
The gunpowder warehouse was an important asset in the war between the two armies!
It had exploded!
He would definitely be confronted by Duke Ping!
As a newly appointed city guard commander, he could forget about being one!
Wang Qiong was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out. In an instant, he was overwhelmed by anger.
He glanced fiercely at the commoners hiding in the cracks and ordered the soldiers, “Drag them over!”
If you have the ability, continue blowing the place up!
He wanted to see if Qing Feng and the others had more explosives or if there were more commoners in the city!
As long as he killed Qing Feng and captured these people, he could more or less offset some of Duke Ping’s anger.
There were men and women, young and old. A group of weak people was staggered to the front of Wang Qiong’s army.
Seeing this scene, Bai Wutong’s expression instantly changed.
He actually wanted to use the commoners as meat shields!
Was he even human!?
The existence of zombies was more valuable than this trash.
A woman carrying a child who was only a few months old cried her heart out. She kept begging the soldiers who were pulling them, “Officers, I beg you. My child is only a few months old. He’s still young. It’s fine if I’m blown up. Let him go, sob… I beg you…”
She looked too miserable. The soldiers could not bear to look at her.
When Wang Qiong heard her cries, he did not have the slightest pity for her. Instead, he pointed at Bai Wutong and the others sinisterly. “Your son’s life and death are all in their hands. If he dies, you can turn into a ghost and look for them!”
When the woman heard this, she immediately hugged the child in her arms tightly and knelt down with a thud. She kowtowed crazily to Bai Wutong and the others. Her face was filled with tears. As she kowtowed, she shook her head in fear. “No! No! Please don’t blow us up! He hasn’t called me mother yet and doesn’t know how to walk. He’s just a pitiful child who’s still drinking milk! Please, I’ll kowtow to you. If you want my life, I can…”
Seeing this, the other innocent commoners also knelt down and kowtowed to them, begging Qing Feng not to use the explosives.
For a moment, the cries, shouts, and the tears that soaked the ground merged into a tragic weeping sound.
Other than animals, who wouldn’t be moved?!
Bai Wutong glanced at the frightened Stinky in her arms. She clenched her fists and said to Qing Feng, “Tell your people to stop the explosion.”
Qing Feng nodded.
Bai Wutong fumbled in her bag and secretly stuffed a small crossbow into Chu Tianbao’s hand. She said, “When I shout ‘explode’ later, aim the crossbow at the man in the middle wearing a helmet. You must hit him with one shot.”
“Alright, wife.”
This steel crossbow was exquisite, small, and easy to control. Its range was more than 200 meters, and its lethality was astonishing. This was because the material design was very different from ancient crossbows. If not for the fact that there was no other way, Bai Wutong did not want it to be easily shown to others.
Chu Tianbao was so good at using darts. If she created chaos, Chu Tianbao should have no problem using it to shoot Wang Qiong.
With Wang Qiong dead, there would be no leader. The remaining people were naturally afraid of the explosives in their hands.
Qing Feng stopped using the explosives. Wang Qiong smiled sinisterly and waved his hand. “Archers, get ready!”
The group of civilians was also within the archers’ shooting range.
His subordinate reminded in a panic, “I’m afraid it’s not appropriate to shoot at these commoners.”
“They should be honored to die for their country!” Wang Qiong’s mind had already been blown up along with the gunpowder warehouse.
They were just a bunch of useless trash. As long as he could keep his position as Inspector, so what if they died?
Just as Wang Qiong signaled to release the arrow.
Suddenly, a crazy, disheveled woman ran out of an alley.
There were also a few soldiers following behind her.
The soldiers sprang out of the alley. When they saw so many people, their gazes shifted. When they realized that the inspector was there, their legs went weak with fear. They stopped chasing.
The crazy woman ran to the middle of the road and stripped herself naked in front of everyone. In the next second, she pulled out the silver hairpin from her head and stabbed it into her chest.
Blood splattered the ground. The woman glanced into the crowd and fell to the ground like a broken butterfly, her eyes wide.
Everyone held their breath at the sudden and shocking scene.
“Yu Rong—!!!”
After a while, a soldier suddenly rushed out from the group.
He threw himself beside the woman. The tall man was crying. “Yu Rong, Yu Rong, wake up!!!”
The only response he received was a gradually cold body.
Then, he picked up his saber and stood up. Step by step, he walked towards the soldiers who had followed Wang Qiong. His terrifying gaze was like a vengeful ghost that had just crawled out of hell.
“You animals!”
The man roared, raised his saber, and quickened his pace to slash.
A long arrow pierced his chest and he stopped abruptly. His saber fell weakly to the ground with a clang.
The man saw the arrow in his chest and looked blankly at Wang Qiong, who was retracting his bow on the horse. He spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered two steps before falling to the ground. With his last breath, he looked in the woman’s direction and shouted affectionately, “Yu Rong…” Then he suddenly stopped breathing.
Wang Qiong threw the bow and arrow to the ground and said expressionlessly, “You’re affecting the military discipline. You deserve to die!”
Meanwhile, the few soldiers who had really affected the military discipline were still alive.
Wang Qiong could no longer be described as trash.
For the first time, Bai Wutong wanted to tear someone into pieces.
Wang Qiong aimed his cold gaze at Bai Wutong and the others again and waved his hand, while saying, “Release”.
As soon as he said that, Wang Qiong’s internal organs were pierced through by a long saber.
Clutching the saber that had penetrated his bloody stomach, he turned to look at his subordinate who had attacked. His eyes widened in disbelief as he mounted the horse.
“You…” Wang Qiong questioned him with difficulty, but he could not say anything else.
The subordinate from Beiyun City who was best at currying favor and able to stay by Wang Qiong’s side had a cold expression. He got down from the horse’s back and pulled out the saber on Wang Qiong’s body. He raised it high again. The moment the bloody sword was seen, Wang Qiong’s head was cleanly cut off.
He carried the bloody head to the male corpse and suddenly collapsed to the ground. He cried bitterly, “Son, I’ve avenged you! Sob…”
He had only curried favor with Wang Qiong to let his family live a better life, but because of Wang Qiong, this bastard, he ended up in such a state.
He regretted it!
If he had known, he would have listened to Ye Wu last night and left with his entire family.
Scene after scene followed. In the blink of an eye, ther was such a huge turn of events.
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
The magistrate, who had pretended to be blind and deaf, almost fainted. The newly appointed inspector was dead… dead…
He wiped his cold sweat and stammered to the guard, “Quick, let’s go!” He was afraid that he would be the next to die.
