0363 Slip
Philes walked out of the study and more than a dozen family knights left with him.
The servants wanted to send the "old long legs" back to the bedroom. The head of the family raised his hand to stop him, and his eyes turned to Lao El, who had no breath of life.
The 'Abyss Sacrifice' disguised as a humanoid person showed a contemptuous sneer, lowered his head and said to the 'old long legs': "According to the contract, I will not give up on your long legs family. Also, according to the contract, your next head of the family must believe in our master."
The "old long legs"'s arms fell down weakly, and the heavy breathing was like a leaking bellows, hoarse and dry cough. Their voice was both anxious but regretful, and there was nothing to do.
‘Old El’ turned and left, her aging body squirmed like a dough, and her voice was like a mad patient, twisting and echoing in the study, “Victor Hugo, black hair and black eyes, and a race from another world, this is exactly what I mainly look for.”
Outside the study, Firs led a team to eliminate outsiders who threatened the family. When he walked along the corridor to the courtyard outside the mansion, he was about to open his mouth to order the family knights to set off, a pre-set question appeared in his mind.
"Where is Victor Hugo currently?"
The family knights were already wearing armor and had a solemn face, waiting for a fight. When they heard Pheles' inquiry, they looked at each other for a few times, and seemed to think that this was just a small problem and someone would definitely know.
But..., everyone looked around, but no one answered. After half a minute, they found that the Supervision Office, which usually provided information, did not send anyone.
"Call Fabro, he should know." Fels made a decision immediately, "We assembled the team and sent people to the Harmony Warehouse, and at the same time called the people from the Patrol Office."
When every order is issued, someone will immediately execute it. The long-legged family has been going well in recent decades, and even if they encounter challenges, they are often enemies from outside. When encountering Zhou Qingfeng, who is so quick to poach inside, it is indeed a little slower.
Compared with the slow mobilization of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Qingfeng, who had just reached a compromise with the "civil strife" forces, has quickly become much faster. Everyone wants to exchange for greater benefits at the smallest price as possible. The strength of the long-legged family is still there, and whoever emerges first will be in trouble first.
Several chiefs of the wizard group verbally promised to fully support Zhou Qingfeng's existence in Hanfeng City, and asked the long-legged family to clear the "Abyss Sacrifice" and demolish the annoying institution of the Supervision Office.
But when several chiefs returned to the Wizard Tower, they announced that they were "neutral". They used the surveillance eyes on the tower to stare at the movements in the city, waiting to see who is more unlucky and then decide to come out to help whom?
The powerful people in Hanfeng City, led by Old Arad, were even more thieves. They used the "evil insect sacrifice" as their trump card, and also wanted to remove the Supervision Hall controlled by the "abyss sacrifice" and pushed Zhou Qingfeng to withstand the anger of the long-legged family.
Zhou Qingfeng sneered at these petty plots. He had the least manpower and had never thought of resisting from the beginning. After confirming that the wizard group and the city lord guards were mobilized, the first order he issued was...
retreat!
The flames had been lit, and Zhou Qingfeng didn't want to stay in a house full of firewood. After killing evil insects on Crow Street, others thought he was going to do a big fight in Hanfeng City. But he had already been ready to lead the team away and quickly left the city.
"Spend more money to hire people and hire cars, first transport the personnel and goods to the town outside the city and evacuate them in a scattered manner."
"Don't care about those jars and jars. If the goods can be sold, they will be sold. If they cannot be sold, they will be burned. The key transportation will be carried by the people."
"For coolies and refugees who are really unable to be transported away, just pay some travel expenses and try to dismiss them. The chaos in Hanfeng City will not last long, and we still need them to come back."
What is trench? This is trench!
The warehouse that I finally built was built, the goods I bought with great difficulty, and the results of countless gold coins were burned as soon as I said it. Before killing the evil insects and offering sacrifices, Zhou Qingfeng issued this order.
Rubio couldn't help but persuaded weakly: "Master, even if we want to withdraw, there is no need to burn the warehouse, right? This was built after hiring more than 200 people in nearly a month. Then it will be burned..."
Rubio felt extremely distressed, but Zhou Qingfeng shook his head, "It's only worth a hundred gold coins, and it will burn it. It was built to declare 'We want to settle here'. It was burning it to declare 'I would rather destroy myself than be cheaper for anyone'."
A hundred gold coins are still said to be worthless? Rubio was dizzy when he heard this number. However, Zhou Qingfeng's order was decisive and could not be changed.
In fact, because the order-buying business is very popular, the goods shipped to the warehouse every day will be sold out. The female slaves who purchased early, the students recruited, and the coolies who trained, have been transported away step by step and evacuated.
Due to the prior arrangement, Rubio rented and purchased a large number of horses and carriages in the city, which was very convenient for transporting people and goods. He mainly felt sorry for the construction of the warehouse, which was something that was really visible.
A fire burned will have a huge impact on people’s hearts!
At least when Powell saw the fire rising into the sky, his mind was dumb. His first reaction was that the warehouse was attacked. After getting closer, he found that the newly built two-story building had been empty for a long time, and he realized that Victor Hugo had run away.
As a spy, Powell had more sources of information. However, before the operation on Crow Street in the dock area had begun, he noticed something was wrong from all kinds of clues.
When he learned that the wizard group had also been involved in this matter, he immediately realized that the rule of the Changle Family was unstable and that the city was about to change!
If the wizard group has always been "listening to the tune but not the propaganda" and maintains quite independence, then the city lord guard should be a force firmly controlled by the long-legged family.
Now half of this force's troops did not say hello and ran to kill the semi-public evil insect sacrifice, which was tantamount to announcing the out of control.
It would be strange if the long-legged family was not furious about it!
But how will the angry long-legged family deal with the current situation? Don’t think too much about it, you should first kill the chicken to warn the monkey and deal with Victor who caused such trouble. Let’s talk about it.
Powell rushed to the Harmonious Warehouse to see the head-on battle between the two sides, how strong Victor Hugo is? How many people will die in the long-legged family?
I saw a fire!
Victor Hugo's mixed ball made the cold wind city turn upside down, but when he came to an end, he actually ran away!
When the flames burned, the poor in the craftsman area fled everywhere. Many evacuated coolies were grateful for the benefits given by Master Hugo and took the initiative to extinguish the fire. However, firewood was piled up in advance in the warehouse, and multiple fire points erupted at the same time, and the fire was out of control.
Powell was in a mess. He realized that the development of the situation in Hanfeng City would not develop in the direction everyone expected. Fells, who was angry, must find a bad guy to establish his power. What would he do?
When the entire warehouse was burning with heat waves and airflow rumbling, Pheles, who had gathered a large group of people, delayed for more than an hour before he arrived. More than fifty knights and more than three hundred servants surrounded him...
A fire scene!
Where is the person?
Only then did people think that Victor Hugo invested a huge amount of money in Hanfeng City, but he was an outsider after all. As long as he was cruel enough, this guy could run away at any time.
Chapter completed!
