Chapter 39: Expected
No one expected Xu Ling to punch suddenly, but the remaining palace guards were shocked. The captain who was beaten away by a punch was their captain, the strongest among them.
Xu Ling glanced around the people: "I'll talk about the last time, open the door."
The guards hesitated for two seconds, then hurriedly opened the mechanical door and made way out.
For Xu Ling, it doesn’t matter whether the door is opened or not, but Emperor Simon III’s physical fitness is too poor, so it will definitely not work if he wants to climb over the wall.
If you insist on saying anything, it would be impossible to carry him over the palace wall and go out, but that might lead to the pursuit of the palace guards and expose their position. It would be better to do it once and for all. No matter whether these guys were controlled by Sergei or not, they would be shocked and prevent them from following.
Xu Ling and Gregory continued to flee to Simon III, and the team of guards were still following behind, but they had a deeper understanding in their hearts.
Before, they just heard that the Special Affairs Department seemed to have fallen into the hands of those aliens. They had some expectations in their hearts, but they did not have a deep understanding. Now it seems that the young major is not so strong in physique, but his physical strength is unexpectedly strong, which extinguished his tit-for-tat thoughts.
Not only them, but the ordinary people in the Immortal City actually didn't know about the Expeditionary Force. They only knew that they were stationed in Curry Woosh and seemed to be rich and powerful.
This is because only those in the Special Affairs Department have had head-on confrontation, and many of the news has been limited to the hands of Sergei and the Upper Parliament.
After a group of more than ten people left the palace, they turned into the small road. Now the streets are full of people from the Ministry of Security and Special Affairs, among which the police officers are coming forward to maintain basic order. After all, due to the panic of artillery bombardment in the north of the city, many people have rushed to the streets, which will greatly reduce the stability of the city.
And not many people know what the Special Affairs Department is doing.
Xu Ling is the only one who knows, or guesses.
"Your Majesty, here."
More than ten people hid in the corner of the alley, followed by dark cover, waiting for the operators on the street outside the alley to leave.
"Major, do you really have to worry about General Zhu and the others?"
Simon III asked quietly, "I can hardly believe that a human can withstand that level of shelling."
Xu Ling had already seen the world-destroying cannon fire that day, and it needed four consecutive shots to take away the eighth-level monsters, which was probably equivalent to the killing power of an ordinary 8.0-level warrior. If Zhu Talan was not disturbed by himself, he should be able to dismantle all those things with his bare hands.
Of course, other armed forces in Immortal City, especially those equipped with magic crystal rifles, cannot bear it.
However, Xu Ling was not worried. After all, there was one general like him in the group, and with other masters, it can be said that his martial arts are extremely virtuous.
He replied: "When the shelling was bombarded, they should have been no longer in the hotel."
Simon III twisted his fat head: "Why? Did you know Sergei's plan in advance? Someone in the Special Affairs Department was infiltrated?"
Xu Ling sneered: "No, because I just found some clues on the way here."
...
A few hours ago, the alley next to the hotel in the north of the city.
"What did you just say, can you tell me again?"
Xu Ling took an Immortal City silver coin from his pocket and put it in the palm of his palm, then reached his hand in front of several people.
Several homeless men hesitated for a moment and scrambled to grab the silver coins: "Friend, what do you want to hear?"
"That's what you just said, there are police officers who help some people move, the more detailed the better."
He squatted down beside him, silently preparing to listen.
These homeless people are very particular about people and do things when they collect money. They say in a singular manner: "Since yesterday, I found that many rich people are moving in several streets nearby, but they look very in a hurry."
Another rushed to say, "Yes, they don't seem to move at all, they're more like going to take refuge."
"There is another...the police officer will help."
Xu Ling asked, "Do you know the rich people?"
This involves the blind spots of knowledge among homeless people. Rich people are almost the same for them. There is no difference between nouveau riche and powerful people. They can't even get a distinction, let alone know.
"Where are those police officers?"
Xu Ling turned around and asked, "Are they all from the regional security forces?"
"No, some are, some are not, they all carry guns, and I can't tell where they came from, but some are wearing ordinary clothes, and the policemen seem to be very scared of them." Someone said.
"Are the people they are afraid of being bigger police officers?"
"It shouldn't be true, those people are quite large."
Xu Ling was thinking about it. What could scare the people in the security team were the superiors or the powerful people in the city. However, in addition to these, there was another type of people who could also scare them.
To be precise, this type of person will make everyone afraid, that is, the special affairs department's operators.
Before leaving, Xu Ling gave them a silver coin as reward, then returned to the hotel room and told Zhu Talan about the matter.
"Boss, I think there is a big problem here. They are clearly evacuating the powerful people in the nearby neighborhoods. Doing so is like cleaning this area."
Zhu Talan nodded: "It makes sense. We can consider temporarily secretly evacuating this place to see what will happen. Don't worry, go to the palace first. If something happens before returning, be sure to ensure the safety of the emperor. He is the key to the stability of the immortal city."
Chu Xiaojun listened to the side for a long time and asked, "Do you need to send someone else? Jiang Sanjin and others will definitely be particularly chaotic at that time."
"Don't worry, I'll adapt to the situation."
Xu Ling said, "Please take him out safely. Brother Jiang will not sneak in, and he can't even enter the palace even if he follows him."
Jiang Sanjin, who was disliked, took a sip of wine in a depressed manner.
...
After listening to Xu Ling's story, Simon III no longer continued to worry about the expeditionary army. After all, the safety of those people also concerns his freedom and even his life safety. In any case, he could not reach a reconciliation with Sergei, and one city cannot tolerate two kings.
The two of them did not avoid the people next to them. After hearing these words, the guards were shocked.
Did the shelling in the north of the city target those foreign missions? Why did Lord Sergei also mention the name? What's going on to ensure His Majesty's safety?
In fact, they couldn't understand what they were doing from the beginning. Now that they have learned more secrets, they find that they don't understand them even more.
The only thing they could figure it out immediately was that the Emperor in front of them had been pretending to be crazy and stupid in the past. I had never thought that I would have been secretly pyro-minded with these aliens. This is not something that a person who only knows how to drink, sex and have fun can do.
While they were shocked, Xu Ling was also observing secretly that once these people showed any unjust intentions, the flying knife in his sleeve would reveal his fangs.
Fortunately, after a while, the captain of the Imperial Guard calmed down, looked at Xu Ling's dangerous gaze, and couldn't help but take the initiative to say: "We swear to protect His Majesty's safety to the death."
"Yeah, it's pretty good, you're very promising."
Xu Ling admired this guy very much and thought that he could see the situation clearly at this time and not take the team wrongly.
However, what he didn't know was that the captain did not calculate how the future would develop, but because he had no choice, his intuition told him that he could not beat the alien in front of him.
At this time, Xu Ling felt that the operators of the Special Affairs Department had already left because there were no more shouting on the streets.
"You guys hide here, I'll go out and have a look."
Gregory nodded and leaned over to the emperor.
Xu Ling carried his sword and looked up the street in the dark along the edge of the alley. He looked around and saw that even the police officers who maintained order were gone. It seemed that he could set out again and advance to the hunting team stationed in the east.
He turned around and was about to take the person out when he suddenly heard shouts and sirens coming from the other side of the street.
