Douluo—Chapter 22: All the Layouts and All the Plans. Who Says I Have No Clothes? I Will Share the Same Clothes with You!
After another day of trekking, Dai Chengfeng and Zhu Fan finally returned to Wu'an City.
At this time, lead-gray dark clouds were stacked up, covering the sky above Wu'an City, and the whole city felt particularly depressing.
Boom!
A dull thunder, like the roar of a giant beast, broke through the sky.
Everything was indicating that a rainstorm was coming.
"This is a good day!"
Dai Chengfeng sat on the carriage, looking at the gloomy sky, his eyes deep. "My chances of winning have increased a few points."
Soon, the two carriages returned to the City Lord's Mansion of Wu'an City.
As soon as they got out of the carriage,
"Your Highness, you are finally back."
"You are a few hours later than the scheduled time. Did something unexpected happen?"
At this moment, Zhu Yan, the Lord of Wu'an City, seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
Beside him, there was a set of silver-white armor and a brand-new spear.
Dai Chengfeng looked at the armor and spear and nodded, "It can be considered an accident, but it's a good thing, you will know."
Before he left, he thought that if everything went well, he should have returned to the city around midnight last night.
But because he absorbed the soul ring of the 1500-year-old Blood Tiger Emperor beyond his level, it delayed some time.
But now that he was back, everything would not be affected.
Or in other words, it was just the right time.
Dai Chengfeng looked at Zhu Yan, "Have you arranged everything I asked you to arrange before I left?"
Zhu Yan nodded, "Your Highness, I have arranged everything you requested in advance."
"Okay!"
Dai Chengfeng said, took a deep breath, looked at his uncle Zhu Fan, and said seriously, "Commander of the Star Luo Empire Guards, Zhu Fan obey your orders!"
"I am here!"
Zhu Fan knelt on one knee in an instant, pounding his chest with his left hand, looking very serious.
"I'll give you two hundred men!"
"You must hold the north gate of Wuping City for half an hour and never let the gate close."
"Can you do it?!"
"This..."
Zhu Fan looked at Dai Chengfeng puzzledly, "Your Highness, if I lead two hundred men out of the city, Wuping City will receive the information in advance and close the city gate. How can I..."
Before Zhu Fan finished speaking, Dai Chengfeng chuckled, "But what if no one knows you are out of the city?"
"And you and the two hundred men can appear directly 800 meters outside the north gate of Wuping City?"
Hearing Dai Chengfeng's question, Zhu Fan nodded, "Then I am confident that I can hold it."
"Don't say half an hour, even an hour is no problem."
"But how can I not be discovered and appear directly 800 meters outside the north gate of Wuping City?"
Dai Chengfeng looked at Zhu Yan.
Zhu Yan nodded, and explained to Zhu Fan a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Commander Zhu Fan."
"One month after I started building the road, I received a private military order from His Highness."
"Let me use the road construction as a cover to open a passage underground to the outside of Wuping City."
"It's just that His Highness said that I couldn't tell anyone, so I didn't tell anyone."
"Even the workers who built the underground passage were found from other cities, and every time they entered the underground passage, they had to be blindfolded in advance and led by me alone..."
Dai Chengfeng also spoke again at this time: "It's just because of the rush of time and the need to ensure absolute concealment."
"Therefore, the tunnel I ordered Zhu Yan to dig is not too wide."
"In a short period, accommodating 200 people is already the limit."
"The army of Wu'an City cannot use the tunnel to go to Wuping City..."
"But with this newly built road on the surface, the journey that originally took an hour and a half can now take half an hour."
"That's why I insisted that you, uncle, hold the north gate of Wuping City for half an hour."
After hearing the explanations of Zhu Yan and Dai Chengfeng, Zhu Fan was not angry.
After all, he knew very well that the fewer people knew about the secret, the better.
Therefore, he just saluted Dai Chengfeng again solemnly, "In that case!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, with my Soul Douluo's strength, it's only 800 meters."
"I am fully confident that I can rush into the gate of Wuping City before it closes, and I will hold on for half an hour and wait for the arrival of the army."
Dai Chengfeng nodded, "Uncle, go ahead."
"The men are in the martial arts arena, and the entrance to the passage is in the room of City Lord Zhu Yan."
"Yes!"
Zhu Fan agreed and turned away.
Looking at Zhu Fan's departing back, "Uncle, be careful!"
Zhu Fan waved his hand, "Chengfeng, uncle is a Soul Douluo!"
"During the time I'm away, you should be careful about your safety, and remember not to be too far away from Zhu Yan."
"Yes!"
Until Zhu Fan's figure completely disappeared, Dai Chengfeng looked at Zhu Yan again, "Wu'an City Lord Zhu Yan, listen to my orders!"
"I will listen to your orders!"
Zhu Yan also knelt on one knee, his eyes were extremely serious, and there was a hint of joy that his revenge was about to be taken.
After all, compared to Dai Chengfeng and Zhu Fan, Zhu Yan was the one who had the closest relationship with the soldiers of Wu'an City.
For example, Xu Feng was promoted by him, and he also valued him very much.
Before that, the two had fought together on the battlefield.
But...
Thinking of this, Zhu Yan's eyes turned red, and he was full of murderous intent.
"I order you to gather all the troops of Wu'an City and assemble in front of the memorial."
"At the same time, send people to close all the exits of Wu'an City, and don't let a fly leave."
"If anyone disobeys and tries to leave the city... no need to report, just kill without mercy!"
Zhu Yan clasped his fists, "I have received your order!"
...
Because they had to gather every day to build the road, and Dai Chengfeng had also specifically stipulated that...
Even when building the road, the soldiers of Wu'an City must not take off their armor.
Therefore,
In just half an incense stick of time, all the soldiers of Wu'an City, except those who were responsible for defending the city, had gathered in front of the memorial.
However, they were all confused...
After all, when building the road before, they all gathered in front of the city gate, but why did they suddenly change to gathering in front of the memorial today?
And just as they were confused and discussing,
Tap tap tap~
A crisp sound of horse hooves came, and Dai Chengfeng, wearing silver-white armor and holding a spear, rode a warhorse towards the crowd.
The Dai family was naturally tall, such as Dai Chengfeng's father Dai An, who was 2.2 meters tall.
In addition, Dai Chengfeng had been using the innate Origin Metal Qi to refine his body, stimulating the potential of his body in advance, so he was wearing a suit of armor at this moment, with a completely young general's temperament.
Until he came in front of all the soldiers,
Dai Chengfeng raised his spear and pointed at the memorial he had built for the soldiers who died in the battle with Qian Renxue.
"All soldiers!"
"Do you know what this is?"
Hearing this, a soldier tentatively asked, "Memorial memorial?"
"Not entirely correct!"
Dai Chengfeng shook his head and said loudly: "This is not only a memorial, it is also revenge! It is a blood feud with the Heaven Dou Empire!"
"There are 2862 names on this monument..."
"They are all the names of the soldiers who fearlessly sacrificed their lives to protect Wu'an City in the bloody battle of Wu'an eight months ago!"
"And today!"
"I, Dai Chengfeng, the fourth prince of the Star Luo Empire, will take you..."
"To avenge them!!!"
Hearing the word revenge, the eyes of all the soldiers in Wu'an City instantly turned red, and the surging murderous aura, accompanied by the uncontrolled soul power due to anger, rolled back to the sky.
The dark clouds turned into a vortex, and thunder exploded within it.
For Dai Chengfeng...
The result of that battle made him feel more unwilling.
But for all the soldiers in Wu'an City, this was a personal pain and a blood feud!
After all, among those short 2862 names, there were brothers who once shared life and death with them, fathers who raised them, and sons who inherited their blood... That was the life of many people!
"Revenge!"
"Revenge!!"
"…"
Everyone roared in unison!
Boom!
A thunderous sound split the sky, briefly illuminating the names on the memorial tablet.
The strong wind rolled up the banner, and the heavy rain that had been suppressed for a long time finally fell at this moment.
Dai Chengfeng let the rain wet his armor and pointed his spear at the northwest sky, which was the direction of Wuping City. "Who says I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raises his army, I will sharpen my spear and sword, and share the same hatred with you!"
"Follow me to crush Wuping City! Kill!"
