Above the Seven Towers

For the residents of Suero City, the settlement of the Chinese is definitely a difficult day. On the day the city broke down, Wang Jiyuan declared the martial law closed. The nobles and businessmen hid in their own homes for a trembling night.

They did n’t wait for the killing, the looting, or the house-hunting, but the city was not peaceful, and fighting took place all night, whether they tried to escape by chaos, or tried to robbery by fire, they suffered what they deserved. .

In addition, dozens of fire and smoke places in the city were also extinguished by the Chinese army.

Early the next morning, Ivo of the Golden Jasmine Trading Company walked out of the house of the Bacchus in a stewardship suit. After the city broke down yesterday, he returned to the inner city through the channel of the Golden Jasmine Trading Company and reported the situation outside to the head of the Bacchus family, Baron Carvalho, which also brought the attitude of the Chinese.

Baron Carvalho didn't sleep for a night and Ivo and several other confidants negotiated until dawn, and finally had a preliminary charter.

Ivo was walking on the road, seeing the housekeepers or deacons who were listening to the news all went out at this time. Ivo sneered at the sight of these people shrinking, looking away, whispering, and remembering what the baron said last night.

At this time, a middle-aged man came across the road, Wulian, the manager of the nearby big businessman Victorino's house. Ivo and he have known each other for more than ten years, and the two are considered to have some friendship. Wulian has long heard that the Bacchus family and the China Tower are very involved. But Baron Carvalho is also capable. Before Marquis Baldini faced the Tower of China, he just stayed in the city and did not go, and the marquis had not treated him yet.

Wulian guessed that Ivo must have known a lot of information related to the Tower of China, so the suit almost greeted him. Hearing that Ivo was going to see the city's main palace, he proposed to go together. Ivo had nothing to do, so the two went to the city's main palace together.

Walking on the road, the eyes were soldiers in green uniforms. They held weapons like long poles, some guarded intersections and buildings, and others were lined up to patrol back and forth. Most of the people who saw these inquiries were just looking at them without too much interference. But when he saw these soldiers, Wulian still shook his feet and almost twitched.

Ivo helped him and said, "The soldiers of the Tower of China are very strict. Don't be afraid of them like a horse thief."

"They are really different from the soldiers of Lord Marquis." Wulian said.

"Master?" Ivo reminded.

"Yes, it's Baldini the traitor." Wulian hurriedly changed his mouth.

Ivo snorted and continued to walk forward. The two saw the bodies of many of them lying on the side of the road, some of them were covered with white cloth, and others were loaded into oxcarts by soldiers in green clothes. Where to bury it.

Wulian snorted: "Last night, I didn't know what these people were doing."

"What else can happen? Those who died at this time are not long-eyed." Ivo said. He glanced at a corpse lying on the ground next to him. He seemed to be pinching something golden, apparently stealing something at this time and being shot dead from behind.

After a few more steps, one fell to the ground and fell to the ground, holding a sword in his hand and covered with a shield. There were three or four holes in the shield. Obviously there was no bullet blocking the air gun. Not far away, there was a middle-aged man with more luxurious clothing lying on the side, with black blood stains around his abdomen. At first glance is a pair of masters and servants who want to escape at night.

Wulian sighed.

Ivo added a sentence, "All deserve it!"

The two walked onto the main road of the inner city, and saw a group of hundreds of city guards walking in a long line. They had no weapons and armor, but they were not tied up. Most people looked calm. , Under the supervision of a dozen green soldiers, walked outside the city.

Wulian whispered in a low voice: "These guys have eaten so much of our food, but they haven't even withstood it for a whole day. It would be better to use the money to feed the dog."

Ivo said: "It is impossible for you to hope that they will not retreat to death, and at last they will turn upside down with the Chinese and make the whole of Sueiro into ruins?"

auzw.com "This ..."

"And did you see yesterday's shelling? Try to get close, and you know whether the grain is good or not. I heard that the number was dead yesterday on the west wall of the city." Ivo stretched out four fingers.

"Four hundred?" Wulian exclaimed.

"It's just a lot! It's all death without dead bodies."

"Ah, when I didn't say it."

When passing the street in front of the East Gate, they bumped into another group of soldiers and pressed a group of nobles, a team of merchants and servants slowly into the city. Most of these nobles and businessmen looked tired and depressed.

"Isn't this Baron Favres and Portinas? Most of the people who fled before were in the lineup. It seems that they had already arranged ambushes outside the city, and it was the same whether they walked or not." .

Ivo was a little surprised to see this scene and said, "It seems that this time Suero was carried by them in the net."

"I don't know how these people from China Tower are going to close the net."

"When you arrive at the city's main palace, there will naturally be an answer."

When they walked to the gate of the main palace, they found that many people had gathered here. Wulian saw a big notice on the outer wall of the lord's palace, which attracted many people to watch. Ivo noticed that a wooden sign was posted at the entrance of the city's main palace, and a line was written in magic and common language: Suero City Provisional Government.

Ivo and Wulian squeezed into the crowd and saw that the notice was also written in magic text and common language.

Announcement of the Interim Government of Sueiro City about interviewing various heads of households:

In order to reorganize the order of the city of Suero and restore the economy of the city of Suero, the interim government of the city of Suero will interview the owners of the inner city in the near future. The owner of the list, please do not leave Suero, wait for the temporary government notice at home, and the guard will be responsible for sending the invitation.

The list of participants is as follows:

...

Ivo and Wulian both saw their owners on the list. People around are also talking.

Someone said: "This will, I'm afraid it's not easy to open. I don't know what to ask us to spit out."

Another person replied, "Nonsense. We didn't ask our heads when the city was broken. It was already kind. If you don't plan to buy your life in advance, it's not stupid? You won't know how to die."

"Home invitation, good talk, probably home robbing and kidnapping?"

The previous man said: "Please invite your house owner to attend the meeting, it is worth seeing your house, don't know what is wrong. If you don't go, it will be death, and you will not blame others."

Wulian and Ivo withdrew from the crowd, Wulian said: "I don't know what this is going to be. Ivo, we are old friends, I know you know a lot of things, if you know, let me know what? I owe you."

Iwo said: "You have said so, I will teach you one, what the Chinese say, we will do, not only to do well, but also to do fast! If your master can really listen to this, it would be a good thing. Now. "
