Wanghai City, which is usually leisurely and prosperous, suddenly entered a tense state without warning!

The City Lord's Mansion passed down the first city lord's decree of the new year early in the morning, announcing that the entire Wanghai City had entered a state of third-level combat readiness! This is an extremely rare thing in the entire history of Wanghai City! Some old people of Wanghai City may still remember that the last time the city lord of Wanghai City announced that the city had entered a state of combat readiness, it could be traced back to the war between the Tongtian Empire and the Western Empire several decades ago!

At that time, because the Western Empire suddenly launched an attack on the Tongtian Empire, the Tongtian Empire, which was taken by surprise, could only passively defend in the initial stage of the war, and Wanghai City, which was located at the northeastern tip of the entire empire, of course, became a battleground for soldiers in theory! Even at the end of the entire war, Wanghai City did not suffer the baptism of war, but it was an era of war after all! Wanghai City announced its state of combat readiness, so naturally there was nothing surprising!

What about now? The Western Imperial State, the old enemy of the Tongtian Empire, has long since become a yellow flower of yesterday! It cannot keep up with the pace of development of the Tongtian Empire by leaps and bounds, and the Western Imperial Kingdom can only be eliminated by history! Looking at the current territory of the Tongtian Empire, it is more than double that of the Tongtian Empire during the Tongxi War! There is no country around the empire that can be called an "empire"! It can be said that the mighty Tongtian Empire has basically occupied a quarter of the entire Lingtian Continent! Within the sphere of influence of the Tongtian Empire, all nations are subjugated! No one dares to fight against the Tongtian Empire anymore!

Recently, one of the most convincing examples is the battle between the Sea Clan and the Sunset Kingdom, and the Tongtian Empire only dispatched a part of the fleet of Wanghai City, and then crippled the entire Sunset Kingdom! All the way to the capital of the Sunset Kingdom, forcing the emperor of the Sunset Kingdom to sign an alliance under the city! At this point, the name of the Tongtian Empire was spread by word of mouth to all corners of the continent, and the powerful limelight was unmatched for a while!

However, at the peak of the Tongtian Empire, Wanghai City, the first important town in the northeast of the empire, suddenly issued an order to enter a state of combat readiness, and it was on third-level alert at once...... Such a strange thing is not only incomprehensible to others, but even the ordinary people of Wanghai City themselves can't understand it!

Although everyone did not dare to say it openly, there were many discussions in secret, some said that war would start, and some said that changes would happen...... All of a sudden, the streets and alleys of Wanghai City were filled with an inexplicable feeling of unease......

Groups of Imperial soldiers with bright armor appeared on the streets of Wanghai City with serious faces, patrolling back and forth and without stopping! Among them, there were also some cultivation masters of the Cao Bai family! Whenever they encountered some suspicious people, these masters and soldiers would immediately stop them and interrogate them in detail, and there were even one or two of them who were directly taken down by the street, and more than a dozen people were escorted and directly twisted to the Cao family in the center of the city!

Not only in the city, but even at the city gates, which had not been closed for decades, thousands of soldiers armed to the teeth were gathered! The main city gate was closed, the heavy city gate bolt was horizontal in the gate, and the city was full of patrols eyeing the city, and the tightness made people feel that even if a bird wanted to fly into the city, it might not be so easy......

There are only two corner gates left on the left and right of the south gate for pedestrians to enter and exit! The corner gate on the left side enters, and the corner gate on the right side exits! Around each corner gate, there are soldiers in full gear to maintain law and order. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This kind of crowd flow obviously could not meet the normal needs of Wanghai City, an important town in the northeast of the empire, and it didn't take half a moment's effort, whether it was in the city or outside the city, the people waiting to pass through the corner gate had already gathered into a ball, and after a long time, everyone complained and was extremely noisy! If it weren't for the obscenity of the soldiers guarding the gate, it is estimated that there would have been a quarrel or turmoil long ago......

What made the people even more incomprehensible was that as soon as the sky was brightened here, the City Lord's Mansion and the Bai Family acted quickly! Under the leadership of the City Lord Cao Hong and the Bai Family's Master Old Man Bai, all the people from the City Lord's Mansion and the Bai Family moved into the Cao Mansion as if they were migrating!

If it is said that measures such as locking down the city, patrolling, and restricting access are all included in the three-level combat readiness state, then what is the purpose of the City Lord's Mansion and the Bai family moving into the Cao family in one go? City Lord Cao Hong can say that he is going back to his hometown to see, your Bai family is just a partner of the Cao family, and what kind of excitement are you going to join in at this time?...... Looking back, even if Cao Hong went back to his hometown to see, he didn't need to move the entire City Lord's Mansion into Cao's house, right?

Anyway, in any case, everything that happened this morning was full of weirdness and inexplicability, and the people couldn't guess the trick, so they could only hide in their homes, close their doors, and try to go out as much as possible, so as not to suffer from the fish in the pond......

Standing on the top of his attic, Changsun Ling looked at the silence and depression of the street outside with a solemn face, and was silent for a long time before he whispered to the red sleeves beside him: "Sister Red Sleeves, isn't this grandfather's action a little too much? If those people who hide in the shadows and want to be unfavorable to our Cao family see the appearance of Wanghai City at this time, and don't dare to come out and act, but just hide in a dark corner and wait for the opportunity to move, then if we make such a move, wouldn't it be a startle and do some useless work?"

Red Sleeves shook his head uncertainly: "Grandpa, his old man has been in an accident for a long time, and he naturally has to consider the problem more comprehensively than you and me, he did not take Krone's suggestion to act quietly and put on such a big battle, I believe that he must have his own deep meaning, what we have to do is to protect you and the child in your belly, and everything else, we don't have to worry about it." ”

As soon as the words of the red sleeves fell, a deep man's voice suddenly sounded in the air beside them, this voice was naturally none other than Kanaka, who had been sneaking and guarding the two master mothers!

"Judging from the false information received from the master, this enemy hiding in the shadows should not be aware of the relationship between the Ling'er master mother and the master, especially the fact that the Ling'er master mother is pregnant with the master's heir! Otherwise, there would not be a single mention of the Ling'er master mother in the information! This is also the result of a guess that was personally verified by the master before I left!"

"Perhaps, Old Man Cao and his old man also discovered this problem, so he deliberately made the movement so big! The eyes of the enemies hiding in the shadows were attracted to the Cao family compound at this time, so that the Rejuvenation Medical Hall could be completely out of the matter, and Ling'er's mother and child would really not be in any danger!"

"In addition, Old Man Cao also sent the red-sleeved housemother to protect Ling'er's housemother, which made me more confirmed my guess! The Cao family is a place of right and wrong, although there are many masters, it is very dangerous! Although the Rejuvenation Medical Hall is only two masters, me and the red-sleeved mastermother, it is better than being out of the enemy's sight! In contrast, it is naturally safer to return to the Rejuvenation Medical Hall, so Old Man Cao will also send the red-sleeved housewife, and the main purpose is to protect the safety of the two masters! Old Man Cao's intentions are not deep! ”

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Ling suddenly said: "If the purpose of grandpa's move is really for me, Sister Sleeve, and the child in my womb, then we can't honestly stay here and watch the Cao family's compound exposed in front of the enemy! I was born a member of the Cao family, and I am a ghost of the Cao family in death! How can there be a reason to let my grandfather take risks, but I hide safely? No, Sister Sleeve, let's pack up, rush back to the Cao family's compound, and fight against the strong enemy with my grandfather and other old people!"

"Confused!" Seeing that Chang Sun Ling said to go, Red Sleeves immediately raised his arms and stopped in front of her, shouting: "Right now, grandpa and his old man are like playing a big game of chess! The layout has been laid out, and what you are waiting for is for the enemy to enter the chessboard and compete! If you return to the Cao family now, not to mention completely exposing the child in your belly to the enemy, you will also catch your grandfather and his old man by surprise!" In this way, not only did you not help your grandfather and fulfill your obligations as the granddaughter-in-law of the Cao family, but on the contrary, you gave your grandfather a difficult problem and destroyed all the preparations and arrangements of his old man's family!

"Yes, Mother Ling'er!" Karnaca's voice was also persuading Changsun Ling: "You and the Mother of the Red Sleeves are safe, and Old Man Cao will have no worries, so he will concentrate all his strength to deal with the enemies hiding in the shadows! Please bear with me for a few days! I believe that with the strength of the Cao family, the Bai family, and the City Lord of Wanghai City, the enemy is definitely not an opponent! Otherwise, why should these enemies hide and dare not show their faces, and fight directly with the Cao family to the death!"

After such persuasion by Red Sleeves and Karnaca, Eldest Sun Ling could only dispel the idea of rushing to the Cao family's compound, but from her gaze on the street, she could still clearly feel a kind of worry and loneliness, and even a deep sense of self-blame and uneasiness, which felt very complicated!

As soon as the camera turned, I came from the west of the city to the east of the city! Unlike the depression in the west of the city, noise dominates the main theme of the street!

In particular, the eastern part of the city, near the east gate, is a well-known slum, in this slum, the fish and dragons are mixed, and the population density is much higher than that of the west of the city, which is lined with commercial streets!

The entire Wanghai City is strictly forbidden, and the slums in the east of the city are naturally no exception! It just delayed a day's work and business, which made the people in the slums, who were not rich in the first place, resentful, and even some of them were angry, and they even clashed with the troops sent by the city lord's mansion to maintain order......
