Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1872: Chapter 1875: City Gates Wide Open?

The grand army of Qi Bei and Jiuyao is already on its way to surround the mine.

However, Qi Bei and Jiuyao had met in advance.

The place they met was not far from the mine.

”Hahaha, Jiuyao old brother, we meet again!”

Qi Bei had an incredibly gentle smile on his face, as if he were seeing an old friend he hadn’t met for years.

Such a smile is generally the hallmark of smart people, who excel at showing an uninimposing smile in front of anyone.

However, this smile is ineffective in front of two kinds of people.

The first kind, those who are smarter than the person showing the smile.

The second kind, the straightforward brute!

Clearly, Jiuyao is the second kind, a brute who only trusts his own power!

So!

”I say, Qi Bei, can you not show such a disgusting expression?!” Jiuyao said with a look of disgust.

To someone like him, he only likes one kind of expression, and that is the fear of others towards him!

As for smiles?!

He usually likes to turn those smiles directly into crying faces.

But the fact that he can’t completely crush Qi Bei makes him find this smile very disgusting!

”Jiuyao old brother is still as straightforward as ever!”

Qi Bei heard Jiuyao’s words and continued to smile without fading.

It’s unclear if this smile has become instinctual, or if it’s specifically to disgust Jiuyao!

”Alright, alright, let’s talk business!”

Jiuyao impatiently waved his hand: ”Whose power is that force anyway? It’s not you, Qi Bei, secretly making underhanded moves, is it? After all, I haven’t received any information! To silently swallow up this mine, only you would have that ability!”

Jiuyao knows he is not as smart as Qi Bei, so he uses the simplest and most direct method!

And that is to determine suspicion with the greatest malice towards the Qi Bei he finds very disgusting!

”Jiuyao old brother must be joking! I can’t do that!”

Speaking of business, Qi Bei restrained his smile somewhat, his eyes revealing a hint of caution: ”This force is definitely not simple! I’ve already sent someone to check it out, and the original high-level people who belonged to us have completely disappeared! And those at the lower levels, before I reminded them, hadn’t even noticed this! It’s really like thunder in silence!”

Compared to Jiuyao, he is more fearful of this force.

Because he knows this is absolutely not something Jiuyao could accomplish!

Since it’s not something either of them did, it means it must be done by an external force!

But for an external force to achieve this silently, how can that not be terrifying?

For starters, the mine itself is surrounded by both of their forces, with so many people, and so many Nascent Souls, how did they quietly enter the mine area?!

After entering, they even silently seized power?!

How could that not send chills down his spine?!

That’s why he immediately and decisively joined forces with Jiuyao to mount an attack!

In any case, this force must be eradicated in the shortest time possible, and even if it can’t be eradicated, they need to figure out the details of the opponent!

He even worried that Jiuyao might be influenced, which is why this private meeting was arranged!

”I don’t care about that, I just want to know, is it really not your people?!” Jiuyao’s eyes sharpened into those of a wolf as he stared dead at Qi Bei!

Qi Bei’s expression turned serious too, and he looked into Jiuyao’s eyes, speaking word by word: ”I swear! It’s really not my people!”

”Good, then there’s no problem!” Jiuyao relaxed: ”No matter how silent they are, as long as it’s not your people, and you don’t obstruct, I’ll send my men in and slaughter them all!”

”I fully support your idea!” Qi Bei said decisively.

There’s no need to say too much to someone like Jiuyao; straightforwardness is best!

The two reached an agreement and said no more, beginning to silently fly towards the mine vicinity!

In truth, they both found each other disagreeable!

Jiuyao was straightforward, thinking that as long as they got in, it would be fine. Having been a bandit, he felt showing stealing from or being stolen was very normal.

But Qi Bei was different, at that moment, he was deducing one possible scenario after another in his mind.

He wanted to know who could achieve such silence!

Frankly, he thought the biggest possibility was that it was done by Jiuyao!

Yes, by this brute of a bandit!

He himself might not be able to do it, but what if he had a powerful strategist by his side?!

Then it would be entirely possible!

Meeting with Jiuyao was primarily to investigate if Jiuyao had made a move, but judging from the recent meeting, it didn’t really seem like Jiuyao!

This made things even more confusing!

And just then!

A subordinate of Jiuyao suddenly rushed over, reporting loudly to Jiuyao: ”Boss, our army has already reached the outside of the town, should we launch an attack?!”

”Launch an attack! Leave none of those beasts alive! Completely raze the town!” Jiuyao shouted without hesitation.

”Yes!”

The subordinate instantly perked up, eyes blood-red, and charged out!

Jiuyao’s most loyal men were all bandits by nature, with a rebellious spirit throughout. The notion of razing a town made them more excited than visiting a brothel!

Qi Bei watched this scene and shook his head instantly—still as foolish as ever! Seems I’ve overthought it, how could it possibly be him?

Meanwhile, Qi Bei’s people also arrived.

Without a doubt, a leader determines the disposition of his subordinates.

Jiuyao is a brute, as are his subordinates.

Qi Bei is a smart person, and his subordinates also prefer to strategize before acting!

”Leader! The town’s gates are wide open, unguarded! Shall we attack?!”

Holding deep doubts, Qi Bei’s subordinate asked Qi Bei.

”Gates wide open?!”

Qi Bei’s eyebrows furrowed upon hearing this!

How can this be?!

If the opponent had any brains, they wouldn’t do something like this!

It’s unreasonable no matter how you think about it!

But with the arrow already on the string, there’s no choice but to release it!

”Send in a small team, advance strategically with each step!” Qi Bei immediately ordered.

”Yes!”

Qi Bei’s subordinate also left.

Hearing Qi Bei’s command, Jiuyao couldn’t help but mock: ”Do you really need to be that cautious? The gates are wide open, just charge in! Maybe they’ve gone to defend against my people! After all, my men are so fierce! They must be scared!”

Qi Bei ignored Jiuyao’s mocking.

He’s a fool, not worth a detailed explanation!

Gates wide open?!

Why would the gates be wide open?!

Are they trying to trap them once they enter?!

That doesn’t make sense, they’re already under attack from them both, how could they possibly be surrounded?!

Something’s wrong! There’s definitely a problem!

Though he doesn’t know why, his instincts still make him feel a sense of terror, prompting him to accelerate his pace towards the mine!
