Real Cthulhu Running Game - #2323 - Chapter 2264: Siege? !
Bon Voyage.
I don’t know why, but today’s temperature suddenly dropped a lot. It’s not as hot as before. There are no clouds in the sky, and the sun is still shining brightly in the sky.
This is a bit unscientific, right?
However, in the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall, all unscientific things can be scientific, and of course they can also be metaphysical.
So the convoy arrived at Yueshan City earlier than planned. However, because many outsiders came to participate in the Moon Night celebration, the convoy could only stay at a campsite near Yueshan City.
Yes, this is a serious camping ground, because Yueshan City specially sent people to level the land here, clean up the gravel and weeds, and whether it is a toilet or a pre-built earthen stove They are all in sufficient quantity to meet everyone’s normal needs.
Of course, this campsite will also provide tea and steamed buns. Of course, you have to spend money to buy these things, but the price is below the normal price. This shows that Yueshan City is quite sincere, and it can be said that it has achieved it. Let everyone “support the money for the rich, and support the individual for the poor”, that’s why the Moon Night celebration is so lively.
Because the convoy of Liu Xing and others was large enough, and the carriages in the convoy looked quite gorgeous, the campground manager arranged a good location for the convoy, which is close to the campground. Kitchen Area” allows the team to have a good meal.
Therefore, Liu Xing also generously gave the administrator a sum of money and asked him to help the team purchase some ingredients and oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. After all, the team has been sleeping in the open for the past few days, and everyone should have a good meal.
“The reason why we say that the Moon God is the most friendly existence among the known gods, apart from the blessings of the Moon God, there is another very important reason, that is, the Moon God will change the weather and temperature on the day of the moon night celebration. Making this day perfect for a celebration! Even if it rained heavily the day before, or the temperature soared to forty degrees, today it will be over twenty degrees with a gentle breeze.”
Dong Qing put his hands on his hips and said, “I have talked about the Moon Night Celebration with Hongying and the others before. I feel that if we can complete the run-in before the Moon Night Celebration starts, then we can try our luck at this Moon Night Celebration, because even if we can’t get the Moon Night Celebration, With God’s blessing, you will also have the opportunity to become famous in this Moon Night Celebration! You must know that this Moon Night Celebration is also an annual singing and dancing competition. Almost every year, someone will become famous by dancing or singing amazingly at the Moon Night Celebration, thus going on to become the most famous person in the world. Embark on a martial arts version of the road to stardom! And there are many famous troupes who actually made their names at the Moon Night Celebration.”
“After all, Philadelphia City is a small place after all, and we don’t want to stay in Philadelphia City all the time, because Philadelphia City can’t give us many achievement points, so if we have the chance, we will definitely go outside… Of course, If there is still chaos outside, we will still stay in Philadelphia honestly. After all, as long as we haven’t ripped up the card, we will have the opportunity to get more achievement points; so in addition to some daily songs, I We also asked Hongying and the others to practice some special programs, which was to adapt some famous songs from this martial arts module, but this adaptation is not a random arrangement, and the changes we made are not so unorthodox.”
As soon as Dong Qing finished speaking, Liu Xing saw the administrator bringing several people and pushing several wooden carts to deliver things to the convoy.
“Although the Moon Night celebration officially starts after dark, we have to enter Yueshan City in advance to gain a foothold, so as not to miss some good seats if we arrive late.”
Liu Xing said to Xu Bin on the side: “So we have to have dinner early today. Xu Bin, just bring a few people to make some stir-fries. It will be faster.”
The reason why Liu Xing said this is because the NPCs in the convoy are more accustomed to eating stewed and steamed vegetables, so if they are asked to cook, it will be slower. Therefore, before the convoy set off, Xu Bin and others specially found someone to cook it. I bought several sets of iron pots and spatulas to ensure that I and my group can eat stir-fry dishes on the road.
“No problem, leader, just wait and try my craftsmanship!”
As soon as Xu Bin left, Liu Xing said to Master Zixuan: “By the way, Yuanyuan, remember to keep an eye on Yang Ping and others when participating in the moon night celebration. It is best to let them act with us, because I am a little worried about Feng Ying or Feng Can also has ideas about Yang Ping, and a place like this where people talk a lot is the best place for them to take action.”
“No problem, I have already agreed with Yang Ping and the others that we will tie our hands with a rope before entering Yueshan City today. Of course, this must be a slipknot to ensure that no chain reaction will occur when necessary. , after all, when disaster strikes, we have to fly away separately, lest we all be destroyed like this.” Master Zixuan said with a smile.
“Well, in short, I will arrange a few more players to protect you, but I think even if Feng Can and others really want to take action against Yang Ping, they will not be able to make some big moves at the Moon Night Celebration. After all, the Moon God Even though it has a good temper, that doesn’t mean it won’t get angry! So before, some people got really angry at the moon night celebration, and then they suddenly stretched out their legs, and the person just disappeared.”
Liu Xing shrugged, shook his head and said: “So even if Feng Can and the others really want to take action at the Moon Night Celebration, they can only use coercion and inducement at best. Therefore, as long as we can control the situation at the first time, Feng Can can There’s nothing they can do to us!”
As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, he saw a stranger suddenly running in front of him.
“Leader! Why are you here?”
The man gasped and said: “I am the temporary person in charge of the alliance in Feihu City – Yang Wenjing! Because Brother Zuo and the others have already gone to Oolong City, all matters in Feihu City are temporarily left to me to handle. , although there are only a dozen players left in Feihu City at this time.”
“oh?”
Liu Xing looked at Yang Wenjing with some surprise. He didn’t expect to meet a player from Feihu City at this time. To be on the safe side, Liu Xing opened his alliance interface and took a look, confirming that Yang Wenjing was indeed a member of the alliance.
But what worries Liu Xing most now is that Yang Wenjing mentioned that the three brothers of the Zuo family have already gone to Oolong City. It seems that they are also ready to burn the boat, because they will not get any assistance if something happens there. So if the clues are seen, it will be 100% broken.
So Liu Xing thought that the three brothers of the Zuo family would choose to stay in Feihu City, because Feihu City is also a relatively important city, and they can still get a lot of achievement points by staying. However, he did not expect that they would go to Oolong City instead. , it seems that the three brothers of the Zuo family still have some dreams.
Then the question is, should I write a letter to the third prince and ask him to send troops to capture Oolong City?
You must know that Oolong City is also a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if a million troops come to attack Oolong City, they can only invest a few hundred soldiers at a time. Therefore, unless Oolong City is captured through a surprise attack, , otherwise this Oolong City will have no problem persisting for decades with sufficient supplies.
But, the geographical location of Oolong City is quite embarrassing. If you want to draw an analogy, it is like the human appendix, a dispensable existence. After all, Oolong City is a huge tea in a sense. If the village is gone, it will only temporarily increase the market price of oolong tea, or it will fall back soon.
So for the Third Prince’s opponents, it doesn’t matter whether they take back the Oolong City or not. . . Wait, if this is really the case, can I have a bold idea?
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and suddenly realized that this Oolong City was a delicious piece of cake for the alliance, because the defenders of Oolong City might not even be a hundred, and it seemed that no sect would choose to settle in Oolong City!
The reason is very simple. Wulong City is the same as Yueshan City where Liu Xing is now. Although it is a certified city in name, both cities have one and only one pillar industry, and everyone in the city will focus on it. Doing things around this pillar industry, so according to current people’s sayings, “Yueshan City is a scenic spot disguised as a city” and “Oolong City is a tea house disguised as a city.”
Therefore, for various sects, there is little room for development by settling in such a city, because few people in the city are willing to let their children join these sects, and there are even few serious people in cities like Wulong City. A wonderful family!
That’s right, except for the owners of a few tea houses in Oolong City, the others are tea farmers and tea makers from all over the world, so they rarely bring their families to Oolong City to live permanently. Because of these The tea growers and tea makers are usually responsible for the food, drink and toileting of the tea farmers. This leads to the fact that there are not even inns and restaurants in Oolong City. After all, the outsiders who can go to Oolong City are invited by major tea houses. , so they will all live and eat in the teahouse.
Therefore, these tea farmers and tea makers will not bring their families to Oolong City. Instead, they will take a year’s income back to reunite with their families every winter, and then come to Oolong City to start a year’s work after spring. .
So there was a sect that did not believe in evil and stayed in Wulong City for a few years, but had to choose to move because it could not recruit a suitable disciple.
As for the situation in Yueshan City, the situation is similar. Because the Yue family considers themselves to be the servants of the Moon God, no matter how talented the Yue family is, they will not join a certain sect. However, there is a way to work around it here, that is, to only become a disciple but not Don’t join a sect, or go home and study on your own with the secrets of a certain sect, and occasionally hire one or two tutors.
For example, Yue Ming mentioned that he had a cousin who was very talented in swordsmanship, so the Yue family invited a second-rate master from Liangcheng to teach one-on-one, so now there are two second-rate masters in Yueshan City. The masters are in charge, and one of them may have reached the threshold of a first-class master, but he has never had the courage to identify a first-class master because he does not have much practical experience.
So when Liu Xing heard Yue Ming mention this matter, he also vaguely hinted whether Yue Ming could invite this form to join Tianshui Town. As a result, Yue Ming gave the answer without hesitation – impossible!
The reason is very simple. Yue Ming’s cousin is the next head of the Yue family, and the current head of the Yue family has begun to consider abdicating the throne due to health reasons. Therefore, if Yue Ming’s cousin wants to go to Tianshui Town, That means that the entire Yueshan City has to move to Tianshui Town.
But at that time, Liu Xing suddenly heard the sound of the dice falling to the ground. This was obviously a secret throw, but the problem was that Liu Xing didn’t know what the secret throw was, because he didn’t know what the secret throw was at this time. Nothing was done, so I just thought that this secret vote might be related to other players.
“Leader, do you want to take over Oolong City?”
As Liu Xing’s right-hand man in the motorcade, Dong Qian knew what Liu Xing was thinking as soon as he saw him distracted, so he asked very cooperatively: “As far as I know, although Oolong City can be said to be a city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, , but the premise is that Oolong City must have enough time to prepare, otherwise it will not be difficult to capture Oolong City, because Oolong City may only have more than a hundred defenders, and these more than a hundred people are just It exists on the books, so I guess it would be good if half of it can stay in Oolong City.”
Liu Xing, who came back to his senses, nodded. Just when he was about to say something, the newcomer Yang Wenjing had already spoken, “Brother Zuo and the others collected some information about Oolong City before they left, so we can now It is certain that the defense strength of Wulong City can only be said to be better than nothing! In short, there are only two guards in Wulong City, one of which is more than 500 soldiers led by a Sima of the other department, but this other department Sima stayed in the tea city all year round, so the more than 500 people under him were divided into four teams. Each team took turns to stay in Oolong City for a quarter, so we said that there were only more than 100 defenders in Oolong City. , but there is a saying that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.”
“So many years ago, this team was divided into three teams, and each team went to Oolong City for a month. This means that there are more than 500 people on the books, but they sign in every day There are only about a hundred people, and in the end, only about forty people are actually in place, and some people will ask for leave, so there are only about thirty people in the camp outside Wulong City all year round, which is simply not worth mentioning; Therefore, this second group of guards is the real patron saint of Oolong City, that is, the guards hired by each tea house. Among these guards, there are also some martial arts masters, and the total number is about four hundred. These people basically won’t leave Oolong City.”
”Care hospital?”
Liu Xing said with a smile: “Mercenaries like this can only fight against the odds. After all, they only come to Oolong City for money, so as long as we can catch them off guard, these four hundred people won’t be able to hold on for long.” He will surrender!”
