Chapter 550: Recover The East City
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Yan Liqiang slowly walked to that fallen Shatu and studied that person.
This Shatu man was in his forties. His eye sockets were sunken and he kept a brownish-grey beard. His face looked ferocious but his mouth was spitting mouthfuls of blood. Seeing Yan Liqiang walk over, the Shatu glared at Yan Liqiang while his body spasmed. He tried to get up but he couldn’t.
That Shatu person didn’t die immediately but all his bones and organs had pretty much been shattered by Yan Liqiang. The man could only breathe his final breath.
Yan Liqiang said nothing but went up to that Shatu person and squatted down. He stared into that person’s eyes, “I know you can understand me. Who sent you here, and what is your purpose in Pingxi City?”
Blood bubbles rolled in that Shatu person’s throat and seeped out from his mouth. He said nothing but just glared hatefully at Yan Liqiang. Half a minute later, he opened his eyes wide and stopped breathing but Yan Liqiang got the answer he wanted.
The Shatu also carried a small arrow sack. Yan Liqiang opened it and there were still two black metal arrows inside.
This wasn’t an ordinary arrow. The strange runes on the arrow told Yan Liqiang that such an arrow was the work of a talisman master.
This talisman arrow was interesting. Ye Mo scanned the runes with the eyes of a professional. This was the second time he’d seen a talisman from the Shatu. The tail of the arrow was special. What powered the talisman wasn’t an entire beast core, but beast core powder. The person who created this arrow was more precisely an apprentice. He just fused the powder into the tail of the arrow.
To ordinary people, talisman equipment was rare. They were high-quality stuff, but to Yan Liqiang, the craftsmanship of this arrow was from a low-level talisman master. There were many places that could use improvement.
Just when Yan Liqiang was studying the arrow, footsteps rustled behind Yan Liqiang. He put away the arrow and turned around.
Eight armed Shatu people suddenly dashed out from the rubble. They looked at the Shatu person on the ground and then glared at Yan Liqiang with ferocious gazes. They glanced at each other and then slowly surrounded Yan Liqiang.
Half a minute later, Yan Liqiang waved his sleeve as he looked at the eight bodies on the ground. Then, he began walking out from the rubble. A few steps later, he saw the black Horned Python bow on the ground. He picked it up and then disappeared.
When Yan Liqiang returned to the street, the few thousand Shatu people had been crippled. The road was filled with bodies and the remaining Shatu were completely and utterly defeated. They ran over the bodies like rabbits trying to run. The slower ones would immediately be impaled by the soldiers’ spears or arrows.
Yan Liqiang knew that the days of Shatu acting domineering in Pingxi City were over.
“Prefectural Governor…” Yan Liqiang went to Wang Jianbei and took out a black arrow before passing it to Wang Jianbei. “I finished that person off, but the thing he left behind is quite interesting!”
Wang Jianbei took the black arrow. Seeing the runes on it, he frowned. “This is an arrow made by a talisman master?”
“That’s right!” Yan Liqiang nodded.
“The Shatu Seven Tribes doesn’t have a talisman master!”
“Yes, so this thing probably comes from the Shatu Alliance. The Shatu Seven Tribes probably long had an affiliation with the Shatu Alliance. This thing was probably prepared for you and me. in the Pingxi Prefecture, we’re a huge obstacle to the Shatu. If nothing happened today, then this killer would’ve probably gone out to find us some time!”
“The Shatu Seven Tribes are indeed conspiring something. Luckily you did something just then!”
“Governor, you’re too polite. A small assassin can’t do much but the Shatu Alliance intervening on the Gulang Plains might require you to report to the Provincial Governor so we can make early preparations!”
“Liqiang, don’t worry. I will report this to the Provincial Governor!”
……
The Shatu people all suffered huge losses after the internal conflict last night. They no longer had the power to organize large riots.
This assassination towards Wang Jianbei also became evidence for the malicious schemes the Shatu people had done.
The battle on the street was the final struggle for the Shatu. The Pingxi troops were pushing in and clearing every area of the Shatu district, kicking the Shatu people towards the outside. There were no more large scale resistances but there were still small numbers of Shatu that started small battles. If they dared to fight, they would soon turn to the bodies on the ground.
Wang Jianbei’s iron fist cleaning of the Shatu district in the east erupted the entire city. Everyone rejoiced. When the citizens knew that the Shatu wanted to spread the riot to the entire city, they were more furious. Quite some youth of the city volunteered to help with the clearing of the city…
At midday, large numbers of Shatu were kicked out of the city under the enforcement of the soldiers. The east gate was filled with people, and the citizens gathered to watch.
There were men and women, old and young Shatu, but all their heads hung low in dejection. Meanwhile, the onlooking citizens were cheerful and bliss.
“The Prefectural Governor is indeed a parent-like governor. These Shatu people should have long been kicked out…”
“Yes, these Shatu never did a good thing in the city. All they do is abuse and rob people. They oppress the kind-hearted. We citizens have suffered greatly in their hands…”
“Heaven has opened its eyes. Pingxi City is finally back in the hands of us Han people…” One old man cried, “My shop was also in the east city but it was robbed by these Shatu bastards. In the beginning they said they would rent, but later on, they just stayed there and forcefully bought my shop at a low price…”
“Pfft, these Shatu dogs face such fates too….”
“I heard last night they wanted to come out from their district and light up fires everywhere. Today, there was a Shatu dog who wanted to assassinate the Prefectural Governor…”
“Beat them to death!”
“Beat them to death!”
Quite a few citizens roared in anger while others discussed amongst themselves. Some kids even started picking up rocks and dirt and threw them toward those Shatu people…
