    80 kilometers south of Pingsha Valley, Hui'an City Hui'an City is a small city. According to Taixia's city standards, it can only be regarded as a third-class city.  The area within the city walls of this city is less than thirty square kilometers. Outside the city, there are market towns and large tracts of farms. Taixia has been at peace for a long time. Zhongzhou, one of the nine great states of Taixia, has hundreds of people.  It has not encountered any war in the past years. Therefore, Hui'an City still maintains the appearance when it was first established. Although steam city defense equipment is arranged on the city wall, the height of the city wall is only about ten meters.  To a certain extent, Hui'an City can be regarded as an ancient city. The residents who live in Hui'an City are quite proud when talking about Hui'an City. In a place like Zhongzhou, although there are many Class A cities, Hui'an still maintains its cultural heritage.  The small town retains its original appearance, but appears to have a special temperament and is thought-provoking.  Longxi County is the granary of Zhongzhou, and Hui'an rice and Hui'an wheat are equally famous. Because Hui'an's local grain is excellent, and because Hui'an is close to Huihe River, the water quality of Huihe River is suitable for wine making. Several famous wines brewed by Hui'an wineries are in Longxi.  The county also has a good reputation. The most famous Shuangjing wine is sold far outside Zhongzhou and can even be seen in Xuanyuan Hill.  Hui'an City is famous for its grain and wine. The grain and wine here are sold to all over the world. Over the past few hundred years, the people living here have lived better and better each generation due to the hard work and wisdom accumulated by their ancestors. Now, the entire Hui'an City and its surroundings are rich and prosperous.  It is also peaceful. Even the buildings in the farms near Hui'an City show a kind of elegance and sophistication unique to the rule of Taixia Shenzhou. Barbarians from many subcontinents came to Hui'an City and looked at the vast landscape outside Hui'an City.  Farmland, a garden-like farm, and the neat buildings in the farm with a strong Chinese style.  They all exclaimed, this is simply the paradise on earth.  It¡¯s August, in the morning, the sun has just come out, and we can look around on the fields outside Hui¡¯an City.  It's just a golden color, and when the breeze blows, the golden waves of wheat are rolling, which is pleasing to the eye The wheat outside Hui'an City has matured in the past few days. Taking advantage of the good weather today, many fields have seen daybreak.  A large number of farmers are driving steam machinery to prepare for harvesting. Due to the jihad, food prices have risen steadily in recent years. Especially this year, the increase has been larger than last year.  This is a good harvest year. Looking at the heavy wheat ears in the fields, the farmers outside Hui'an City are all smiling, with the joy of the harvest flowing in their hearts A place like Zhongzhou.  The city gates are never closed, three hundred and sixty-five days a year.  Twenty-four hours a day, except for the rotation of soldiers stationed at the city gate, the city gates here are generally not closed.  Even the local old people here in Hui¡¯an can¡¯t remember the last time the city gates of Hui¡¯an City were closed.  It seems that there was one during the Second Holy War. After that time, nothing could happen again to close the gates of Hui'an City.  However, today is an exception.  In the morning, the North Gate of Hui'an City was bustling with people. Suddenly, a group of neat and rapid footsteps came from Zhengde Street connected to the North Gate of Hui'an City. People entering and exiting the North Gate were astonished.  With the sound of footsteps, a group of thousands of heavily armed soldiers from Hui'an City, led by a leading officer, rushed towards here in a hurry.  Those with sharp eyes can even see that several criminal arrests and officials from Hui'an City's Tingwei Department were acting together with these soldiers.  "The city lord has an order to immediately close all the city gates in Hui'an City. Immediately close all the city gates in Hui'an City. First-level combat readiness. All steam city defense equipment on the city wall will be fired and pressurized" Before he could reach the city gate, the leader of the team  The officer yelled.  This loud roar and the furious attitude of the soldiers caused a commotion at the north gate of Hui'an City. No one knew what was going on, especially at the north gate. There was a long motorcade waiting to leave the city. The front of the motorcade was already  One third of them were out, and two thirds were still in the city. When they heard that the north gate was to be closed immediately, the convoy did not leave the city gate, but instead took the time to continue leaving the city.  "What's going on? I want you to close the city gate immediately, do you hear me!" The officer leading the team rushed over and saw that the airlock in the city gate had not been moved yet, and the trucks were still leaving the city in an orderly manner.  He was furious and rushed over with a few soldiers and two arresters from the Tingwei Department.  Seeing this officer walking over with an angry look on his face, none of the teams stationed at the city gate made a sound. It was just that the team leader was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak. Instead, there was a man in charge with a smile on his face.  He greeted him, "Master, this is the convoy of Shuangjing Winery. It is about to unload at the airship landing base outside the city. The convoy has already gone out a little. It only takes two minutes for the convoy to all go out. This  The people stationed at the gate of the city are all the villagers of Hui'an City.We all know each other. I just asked them to give me two more minutes to allow the convoy to leave the city. Please don¡¯t blame the military master. It only takes two minutes" Hui'an City has been at peace for too long, so that at this time  When the urgent order to close the city gate came, everyone was a little confused. The soldiers stationed at the city gate no longer had that sense of urgency. Instead, they looked at the other party for the sake of familiarity. Shuangjing Winery was famous in Hui'an City. Usually,  There were also some favors, and the city gate had to be delayed for two minutes to allow the other party to leave the city. With a sound of "Choke", the officer leading the team pushed the steward away, and suddenly pulled out the long sword he was hanging.  Without saying a word, he slashed at the neck of the captain of the team stationed at the city gate, causing everyone to suddenly change their expressions The sharp sword was squeezing the skin of the captain's neck.  Stopping, the sharp sword blade had cut the skin on the squad leader's neck, and blood beads rolled down. The squad leader's face suddenly turned pale, and his feet became a little weak. Just at this second, he  I thought my head was about to be chopped off. ¡°If the city gate is not closed within half a minute, I will chop off your head!  "The officer said coldly. The officer here moved his hands. The two criminals who followed the officer here had not said a word for a long time. They each ran to the two trucks that were about to leave the city at the city gate and showed their badges.  , the truck driver was roughly pulled out of the driving seat, and then the two vehicles backed up at the same time, slamming into the vehicle behind them, leaving the place where the city gate airbrake had fallen. The two vehicles collided.  , get out of the way, a lot of Shuangjing famous wines packed in clay pots on the car suddenly broke into pieces, and for a while, the smell of wine was everywhere. "What are you doing? These wines are going to Zhongzhou City, Zhongzhou City.  Mr. Shiromu's father is celebrating his 120th birthday. The old man used to like to drink our Shuangjing famous wine. He asked for Shuangjing famous wine to hold a birthday banquet, which delayed the delivery time. Can you afford it?  What's so great about you, a foreign military household? Even the Master Chengmu of Hui'an City wants to give us Shuangjing Winery some face" The steward's face became extremely ugly after being rudely pushed away by the officer, and his voice suddenly became sharp.  , began to show off its teeth and claws Zhongzhou City is the state city of Zhongzhou, and it is also a Class A city. The lord of Zhongzhou City has the same official rank as the governor of Longxi County. Not only is it the same, but it is also closer to the governor and others, and the status relationship is even higher than that of Longxi County.  The county guards must be stronger and more likely to be promoted. ¡°Get the hell out of here!  "Seeing that the steward was still chattering in front of him at this time, the officer kicked the steward directly in the stomach, kicked the steward out, and fell outside the city gate. He almost lost his breath. This  The officer didn't use all his strength when he kicked him. It was just a lesson. If he really used all his strength, this kick was enough to kill an ordinary person. But even so, this time, the steward couldn't get up for a long time after he was kicked down.  By the time the steward got up, the airlock of the northern city gate of Hui'an City had already been closed, and the steward was jumping at the city gate and yelling.  There was an exclamation from the gatehouse. When the steward turned his head, he saw a plume of black smoke rising into the sky from a market town a few kilometers outside Hui'an City. This thought had just arisen in the steward's head.  , among the farms in the other direction outside the city, black smoke suddenly rose "What's going on?" Seeing the fires in two places outside the city, those people who were blocked outside the city immediately became alert.  The man climbed onto the truck and looked towards the place where the black smoke was coming out. "Ah, why did the people in Fu'an Town escape? What happened" The man who climbed on the roof of the car exclaimed Hui'an City.  The city gates were closed urgently, and smoke rose into the sky from the farms and market towns outside the city. Someone ran out As soon as these pieces of information passed through the mind of the steward, his face turned pale. Something serious must have happened This steward had just  Although he pretends to be powerful, he is not stupid. Looking at the closed city gate behind him, the steward suddenly understood something, and then he cried out and beat the thick metal gate hard, "Ah,  Open the city gate quickly and let me in" "There is already some commotion outside the city gate And on the city gate, all the soldiers, including the officer just now and the two criminal arrests from the Hui'an City Court Office who followed, this  At this time, everyone's expressions changed At the location of the city gate, because of its height and the several telescopes placed on the city gate, it was easy to see what was happening in Fu'an Town.  The fire was burning in the center of Fu'an Town. Seeing the fire burning in the town, those who were busy in the farmlandMany people put down their work and prepared to put out the fire. However, before those people could run back from the farmland, more and more residents living in Fu'an Town shouted loudly from various parts of the town.  He rushed out screaming and crying, and ran into the wheat field Just two minutes later, before the first person who ran out of Fu'an Town had run 1,000 meters, several blood-red figures had already rushed out of the town.  He caught up with the last few people in the wheat field, and in the blink of an eye, they were torn apart in the wheat field (To be continued.)
