Xu Qianjing frowned. He glanced at the crowd and spoke in a deep voice, “There are many innocent people besides our target. If you mobilize the Ziying Battleship, can you bear the consequences of so many lives?”
There was a hint of questioning in his voice.
To Xu Qianjing’s dismay, those deputies all looked disapproving. Some even sneered, “Those who ride in the spirit shuttle are just a group of Pariah. Why don’t we sacrifice them as long as we can kill the target?”
Pariah!
This word suddenly hurt Xu Qianjing. Before he entered Green-deer School, he was also a pariah in the eyes of these rich kids.
“Mr. Xu, don’t hesitate any more. This is the best time to kill the target. As for the death of those Pariahs, who will know the fact as long as we ignore it?”
Someone persuaded.
“Ha ha, if Mr. Xu is worried about taking the responsibility, you can put all this on us. To be honest, no one will pay attention to these pariahs’ death even this event gets a little big.”
Some people sneered and exclaimed with contempt.
Xu Qianjing kept silent and an unspeakable anger grew in his heart.
Bang!
At this time, the gate was pushed open. A graceful figure with imposing momentum came in. It was Chi Cangmei.
“Qianjing, let’s do that. I’ve issued an order to mobilize a Ziying Battleship to the Maple Mount.”
Chi Cangmei announced indifferently.
Xu Qianjing’s eyes narrowed. His calm look turned to be gloomy at this moment.
“You should know that it’s no different from killing the people of the Empire!” Xu Qianjing stood up, took a deep breath and said coldly.
Chi Cangmei didn’t argue for herself but only made a cold sound.
Those deputies all showed their disdain. Originally, they respected Xu Qianjing for his name of Tactic Master. But with the failure of the encirclement, they began to question Xu Qianjing’s ability. So their respect declined with the failures.
When they learned that Xu Qianjing did not dare to make the most sensible decision for some pariahs, they began to doubt whether Xu Qianjing was unworthy of his reputation and how could he be so stubborn.
As Xu Qianjing received people’s mockery and disdains, an inexpressible cold and powerlessness suddenly appeared in his heart.
“I’m against it.”
Xu Qianjing didn’t compromise. He was sticking to the bottom line of his heart.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Xu. From now on, your task has been completed. Let me do the rest.”
Chi Cangmei was indifferent this time. After several failures, she also doubted Xu Qianjing’s tactical ability. When she learned that Xu Qianjing gave up the best time to kill the target for some pariahs, she was sure to not believe Xu Qianjing again.
“You mean that I can go now?”
Xu Qianjing asked with surprise.
“Ha, of course, Tactics Master, you’d better leave now. Our place is too shabby to accommodate you. ”
Some people couldn’t help laughing and making sarcasm.
Others laughed together.
Chi Cangmei frowned but didn’t scold those deputies. She looked at Xu Qianjing and said seriously, “Mr. Xu, please.”
A word “please” showed her irresistible tone of banishment.
Xu Qianjing was stunned for a long time. Finally, taking a deep breath, he bowed with his hand cupped in the other and announced, “I’ve paid what I owe Chi family now. See you.”
Then he turned around and pushed the door open to leave.
“Hum, he is so bold to say that. We are so polite not to hold this guy accountable. ”
“From the moment the target appears, all the actions arranged by this Tactic Master will end in failure. If we believe him again, our operation will be wiped out!”
Behind Xu Qianjing, there was a sneer, which made Xu Qianjing suddenly feel sad and bitter “How do these rich children know tactics?”
It was ridiculous that they got in a mess just because of a few failures.
However, Xu Qianjing knew that this was the behavior of those from aristocratic family. When someone was useful, he would be regarded as the guest of honor. When he was useless, he would be abandoned as out-fashion shoes.
Unfortunately, they didn’t know how terrible Lin Xun was!
Would Lin Xun be killed by the Ziying Battleship?
Naive!
After the intelligence analysis collected these days, Xu Qianjing had a strong sense that Lin Xun was not so easy to kill!
What if he survived the shelling of Ziyang Battleship…?
Xu Qianjing shook his head. He didn’t need to think much anymore. He had already prepared a lot of tactics for the target, but… it was useless now.
…
In the room, a group of deputies were still sneering at Xu Qianjing’s unworthy name and weak humanity, as if Xu Qianjing was filled a post without real qualification.
They even decided to publicize Xu Qianjing’s incompetence in the Forbidden City after killing the target, so that he would be completely ruined!
Chi Cangmei looked at the reaction of the crowd and frowned imperceptibly. There was a sense of insecurity in her heart, but she soon abandoned it.
The action was launched. Chi Cangmei didn’t think that target shuttle could withstand the attack of Ziying Battleship!
This new type of Ziying Battleship had just been developed by Master Mo of Academy of Spiritual Implements not long ago. Its power was improved by more than half of its original. It was the trump among all kinds of small battleships. It was hard for a Sea Spirit Realm practitioner to resist the full attack of Ziying Battleship, not to mention a Human-gang realm target!
…
Dicking….
In the quiet carriage, there was a sharp warning sound, which caused all the passengers to panic. They all stood up and looked around at a loss.
In the past years of Empire, there were several accidents of falling spiritual shuttle, which was the most worrying thing of this vehicle.
So when they heard the warning sound, everyone was in a panic, and there was no exception for practitioners because they would die once they fell down in the high sky.
Lin Xun, who was talking with the little girl named Luoluo, suddenly got up and squinted after he noticed the sudden change.
Through the glass window of the spiritual shuttle, people saw a small battleship which was a hundred meters long like a sharp cone and covered in dark purple luster.
“It’s the battleship from the Empire!”
“Since it is from the Empire, we should be safe.”
A lot of passengers showed their ease after seeing this scene. They thought that something bad had happened. But it was just a battleship that didn’t need to make a fuss about it.
Some even joked, “I wondered what happened. It turns out that the imperial battleship comes to escort us.”
A lot of people laughed.
Only Lin Xun felt chill in his body and worried in heart. At a glance, he recognized that this battleship was the new Ziying Battleship designed by him for Old Mo. Lin Xun was sure that such a battleship that suddenly appeared must come to fire him!
As Lin Xun had this idea just flashed in his mind, a bright and dazzling light suddenly appeared on the Ziying Battleship in the far distance!
Lin Xun was stiff and his eyes were dilated. This was a sign of firing of the spiritual cannon equipped on the Ziying Battleship!
This battleship was designed by Lin Xun. How could he not recognize it?
“Be careful!”
Lin Xun yelled loudly with gloomy face. He didn’t expect that the enemy was so fierce. They even tried to destroy the whole spiritual shuttle in order to kill him!
They… never thought about the safety of those innocent people!
Many passengers were confused by Lin Xun’s yelling. But some others were acutely aware of this danger scene and couldn’t help but scream in horror.
All of a sudden, the crowd in spiritual shuttle was in disorder. The harsh warning continued to ring, and people in fear sent out desperate and helpless screams and curses.
At that moment, Lin Xun was not able to care about other people. He held the girl Luoluo in his arms, clenched his teeth, and used all his strength to cut the wall of spiritual shuttle with a roar.
Boom!
The wall was broken open.
But almost at the same time, the shot launched by the Ziying Battleship had banged on the spiritual shuttle.
Boom!
The terrible blast was like a mountain crash and a tsunami, sweeping and shaking in the narrow carriage like the end of the world was coming.
Lin Xun felt a pain all over his body. The lingering sound was so piercing as if his eardrums was about to be torn by needles. His vision became dizzy and dim.; his body was swept by a terrible tearing force, flying out uncontrollably.
Nothing could be seen. Nothing could be felt. Only the intense scorching pain spread over his body like tide. But Lin Xun still relied on his instinct to protect the little girl Luoluo in his arms.
Time was hard to be described under this situation. It seemed that many years had passed, and it was just like a moment ago. Lin Xun held his strength and suddenly opened his eyes.
In a flash, he saw that he was only fifty meters away from the ground!
Lin Xun clenched his teeth and roared like a wild animal subconsciously, trying his best to turn his body over in the air.
Bang!
At the next moment, Lin Xun hit the soft grass with his back to the ground, making a big hole and the soil splashing.
Before landing, Lin Xun successfully transferred the force of falling from the little girl in his arms to himself.
With a shake of his wrist, Luoluo rolled down in the grass not far away.
Lin Xun’s bones were almost broken because of twice the impact force of falling. As soon as he fell to the ground, he could not help coughing up blood. His face turned pale and he could not help moaning.
Hurt!
The great pain made Lin Xun feel that all his viscera were displaced. He was dizzy at this time and almost fainted.
