Muritch, who was hiding under the table, saw Xu Liyan's situation clearly, and rushed out with a roll and crawl, running to the corner where Zhao Zhengqi was.
In the process, he shouted:
"Dynamite!
"He tied a circle of explosives!"
Because Zhao Zhengqi and others were far away and blocked by tables, they couldn't see the details of Xu Liyan's side, so they had to ask hurriedly and panicked:
"What explosives?"
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
Frankly speaking, if it weren't for the fact that the situation seemed to be under control, they would definitely not hesitate to let the bodyguards clear the way, rush out of the room, and join their own guards.
"'Little mushroom'! Xu Liyan has a circle of 'little mushrooms' tied to his body!" Murridge hurriedly shared the situation.
That explosive originated from the "Orange" company, the model is H404, and because of its great power, it was nicknamed "Little Mushroom".
"Shit!" Another noble councilor from the Red River race, Francisco, couldn't help but curse.
If a circle of "small mushrooms" explodes, it means that no one will be spared from the council hall and the corresponding outer area - abnormal people are not included in this ranks.
After a short period of chaos, Zhao Zhengqi looked at Odick, Uncle Liu and the "mysterious man" in the burqa, and asked loudly:
"What's going on?
"Also, first, first, remove the explosives."
Such a conversation made him tremble a little.
"Poor monk is coming." The five metal fingers of the mechanical monk Jingnian, under the control of the chip, slowly released the explosives tied to Xu Liyan's body with the highest precision.
He was a little annoyed now that he had made the mistake of "darkness under the lamp":
Obviously, in order to come to Wild Grass City as a bodyguard, he installed some modules that he didn't usually use, and just now he deliberately used this to check whether the nobles and their guards were carrying enough equivalent explosives, but he ignored the employer itself.
Odick did not show off, turned his gaze to Zhao Zhengqi's side, and explained briefly:
"Not long ago, the 'priest' of the 'Anti-Intellectual Sect' attacked City Lord Xu and was blocked.
"But his purpose was not to assassinate, but to close the distance, make eye contact, and 'hypnotize' City Lord Xu, so that when he convened all the nobles to discuss matters, he would make a suicidal attack and destroy the top floor of the entire Weed City."
The last half of the sentence, he was not sure until now.
It's just an assassination of Xu Liyan, there is no need for the "priest" to play so fancy and do a bunch of "useless work", his real goal is very big and very difficult.
That is to kill all the great nobles in Wild Grass City!
You must know that Xu Liyan has a mechanical monk guarding him, and any method of quietly "hypnosis" that wants to be contacted through normal channels may be destroyed by "foreknowledge", and under the eyes of the "immortals", the attempt to "hypnosis" is quite easy to detect.
At the same time, whenever Xu Liyan attended, no matter what the form, others had to undergo strict inspections, and could only bring light firepower such as pistols that could be hidden on their bodies.
Under various conditions, it was almost impossible to kill all the nobles in Weed City at once.
There are still adequate security measures here.
As for what kind of purpose this big goal is, it is not known for the time being.
"Namo Arudara, so that's how it is......" The mechanical monk Jingnian whispered the Buddha's name.
He finally figured out the cause and effect and all the details, and also found the real source of the premonition of danger - he thought there was a second round of assassination.
"Amazing!" Shang Jianyao did not skimp on his praise.
If he hadn't been holding the "Ice Moss" pistol and confronting the guards dozens of times, he would definitely not have let his applause be absent.
Although Jiang Baimian did not look back, he could imagine that he had a look of admiration on his face.
I admire the "priest" for playing so big.
Zhao Zhengqi, Francisco and others barely figured out the truth of the matter, and they didn't care about the inexplicable remarks of Odick's small characters, and they were relieved.
Such a "high-level hunter" came to Weeds City, and they more or less sent people to inquire about the corresponding situation, and they were no strangers to Odick, and they turned their eyes over one after another to express their gratitude:
"Mr. Odick, right? It's really thanks to you, otherwise we would all be blown up to the sky."
"We will definitely prepare some thank-you gifts when we get back."
"Cheng, I have experienced countless storms in my life, but today I almost capsized in the gutter and became a ghost who killed me, and I don't even know who killed me. Mr. Odick, let's get closer, and when this matter is over, we must be a guest at my manor."
"When order is restored in the city, the believers of the 'Anti-Intellectual' will be arrested as soon as possible and burned to death in the central square!"
While they were talking, the mechanical monk Jingnian had already removed the H404 explosives from Xu Liyan's body, along with the black remote control, and grabbed it in his hand.
He originally wanted to personally move these high-risk items to other places and keep them away from the council hall, but after looking at Xu Liyan, he gave up the idea again.
A qualified bodyguard should not be more than three metres away from the employer.
"Who took them out?" Jing Nian raised his arm and asked in an electronic synthetic tone.
Wild Grass City was located on the edge of the monk's wasteland, and everyone present was no stranger to mechanical monks, and at this time they could roughly guess Jing Nian's identity, but after looking at the string of explosives and the remote control, they all chose to remain silent again.
Obviously, no noble would surrender himself to do this, and sending bodyguards would weaken the defense around them.
Besides, the ghost knows if there are other remote controls for the pile of explosives, what if the "priest" and his accomplices are hiding in the city lord's mansion, and when the time comes, they will press the switch?
At that time, whoever holds the explosives will not even be able to leave the ashes!
Of course, it is also their consensus to transfer dangerous goods as soon as possible.
With similar thoughts, they looked at Odick again, hoping that he would get his men to do it.
Without waiting for them to speak, Shang Jianyao took the initiative to ask for help:
"I'll do it!"
He was very interested in the large bunch of "little mushrooms".
"Okay!" "Have courage!" The nobles present unanimously passed and signaled the guards to lay down their weapons and stop confronting each other.
Shang Jianyao quickly walked towards the mechanical monk Jingnian, stretched out his left hand to take the pile of things.
Then, he stretched out his right palm and took a handshake forward position.
Jing Nian was stunned for a moment, stretched out his right hand made of metal skeleton a little confused, and shook hands with Shang Jianyao.
"Zen Master, I'll show you a song later, you will definitely like it." Shang Jianyao said enthusiastically.
If it weren't for the fact that the situation was quite serious, Jiang Baimian really wanted to raise his hand to cover his face.
The mechanical monk Jingnian didn't know how to answer for a while, but fortunately, Zhao Zhengqi helped him out of the siege:
"Now he can wake up the city lord, and only he knows some details."
Odick had no objection and nodded to Jing Nian.
The mechanical monk Jingnian immediately grabbed Xu Liyan's shoulder and shook it.
Shang Jianyao was watching with great interest, but because he was holding dangerous items, he was unanimously asked to get out quickly.
He had no choice but to move his steps and lean towards the door inch by inch.
Two or three seconds later, Xu Liyan woke up.
He was confused for a while, then hurriedly lowered his head and looked at his waist.
"City Lord Xu, you have been hypnotized by the 'priest'." Odick reminded.
Xu Liyan's expression changed again and again, and he leaned back on the back of the chair as if weakened:
"I remember......
"When I was cleaning, the sound of 'blow them up' and 'blow them up' sounded in my head, and then, I found a bunch of explosives from the secret arsenal in the room......"
After failing the attempt and being told the truth, his "hypnosis" effect was lifted.
"City lord, it's not that I rely on the old and sell the old, I still have to be cautious in doing things in the future, don't always run to the Hunter Guild." After hearing this, Zhao Zhengqi taught a lesson insinuatingly.
Xu Liyan cheered up, ignored the stubble, looked at the guard outside the door, and said murderously:
"Tell Sun Xuefeng that as soon as the team is organized, they will immediately countercharge and strive to push those wilderness wanderers out of the city within an hour."
Seeing that the alarm had been lifted, Murridge and the others relaxed, walked back to the long table, and expressed their opinions:
"Yes, those damn beasts, I don't know how many things they have broken, I just hope they didn't ruin the materials too badly."
"Our food is all grown by ourselves, so why should we take advantage of them? If we can give some of them the opportunity to be slaves, it will be benevolent to heaven."
"Can't they stay outside the city honestly and quietly, waiting for the other slave traps in the 'Original City' to arrive?"
"Who told them not to stock up on food, who is to blame for starving to death?"
"I don't think we can just push them out of the city and not teach them a cruel lesson, they will dare in the future!"
"It's troublesome to keep it, it's better to find some way to solve it without wasting bullets."
In the midst of the gossip, Zhao Zhengqi and others pointed the finger at Xu Liyan's previous aftermath strategy:
"City lord, you can't be a woman's benevolence."
"Even if you want relief, you can't give it in vain, don't those citizens still have real estate, shops, and furniture? Can you take it out to exchange for food......"
"With so many people dead, there should be no shortage of food, right?"
"We have to urge them to bury people as soon as possible, if there is a plague, it will be troublesome."
"This can be saved for a while, but it can't save a winter, so we still have to think of a more appropriate way, or you, city lord, come forward and lend a batch of food and materials to the 'Original City'?"
"The big deal is to recruit new citizens, some people come."
"In this world, food is more valuable than people......"
"Everyone, everyone, harmony is precious, harmony is precious."
Various sounds came into his ears, making Xu Liyan's head buzz a little again.
Bang!
At this moment, another gunshot rang out.
The broken crystal chandelier fell directly and smashed on the long table.
The fat and fat Zhao Zhengqi left the seat like a cat and jumped to the corner with cover.
While the group of nobles were scattering again, Odick hid on the long table and looked at the door with the mechanical monk Jingnian.
Shang Jianyao stood there, holding the string of "small mushrooms" in one hand, holding the black remote control board, and holding "ice moss" in the other, aiming in the direction of the long table.
Finding that the eyes were projected, he asked with a sunny smile:
"If I press this button, will this string of bombs explode with a bang?"
Hearing this question, especially the accented "bang", including Xu Liyan, all the nobles' heartbeats stopped.
Odik blurted out:
"Are you crazy?"
Shang Jianyao looked at him with a smile and responded:
"You just know?"
Jiang Baimian next to him sighed helplessly, turned around, raised his pistol, and helped him guard his back.
