Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1171 Loud Noise
But, as time passed, the quiet city of Luoyang remained quiet.

Liang Shide was a little panicked.

He struggled to take two steps forward. Although he was still a long way away from Luoyang City, he seemed to want to see through the thick city walls immediately to see what the soldiers inside were doing and whether they were following his orders.

Why haven’t you… yet?
Seeing that the knife in his hand could no longer control him, Liang Youying gritted his teeth and dragged him back fiercely.

At the same time, she was so nervous that she held her breath, staring with wide eyes at the Luoyang City in front of her, which was as hot as fire against the backdrop of red silk, but also exuded a strong smell of blood; at this moment, not only was her heart beating like thunder, but even Pei Xingyuan, who was standing in front and seemed to always be calm about everything and able to deal with all dangers and difficulties with a smile, also held his breath, listening to his own heartbeat, as if waiting for a bigger noise to come from the front the next moment.

But still nothing happened.

Everything became quiet too suddenly and too deadly, as if everyone had lost their reaction in an instant.

In the silence where even the sound of the wind was about to disappear, a white cloth was suddenly erected from the city wall at the Upper East Gate and began to wave towards them from afar.

Pei Xingyuan was overjoyed and turned back to look at Liang Youying: "Jiang Wei has succeeded!"

Just this one sentence made Liang Shide feel like he was falling into an icy cave.

Just now, he realized that Jiang Wei, who left Wanggangzhai with Liang Youying, must have acted with them. Since they already knew that he had buried gunpowder to destroy Luoyang City, and Pei Xingyuan and Liang Youying were at the altar stopping him from going up to the altar to offer sacrifices, then Jiang Wei must be in the city, stopping the people at the city gates from igniting the gunpowder!
Now, Shangdongmen failed to ignite the gunpowder after receiving his message, but he succeeded!
Hearing this, Liang Youying's face also showed an excited smile. Then, she looked coldly at Liang Shide in front of her and snorted coldly: "Hmph!"

But at the same time, Liang Shide sneered and said, "Do you think that after blocking the Shangdong Gate, you can block all places?"

This one sentence made everyone's heart rise to their throat again.

Guan Ao and Guan Chiying both knew that he had buried gunpowder in more than one place, and since Pei Xingyuan and Liang Youying were hiding in the city with the purpose of stopping him, they should naturally know this.

The two of them gasped almost at the same time and turned to look at Luoyang City again.

At this time, the sound of the gong that had just been struck by the soldiers at the East Gate had already reached the Jianchun Gate. In the distance, the sound of a gong seemed to be heard over there as well.

But, it was just one sound.

Everyone's heart suddenly rose to their throat again, almost bursting out.

This time, Liang Shide was obviously more nervous than Pei Xingyuan and the others. He originally thought that he had a sure win, and that if he fought to the death, he would at least be known as a king after ascending the altar for sacrifice. However, he did not expect that before the sacrifice was completed and before he ascended the throne, he would be held hostage. Even the city of Luoyang, which had been prepared to be buried with him, seemed to be out of his control.

Just as he held his breath, listened carefully, and waited anxiously for a roar to be heard in front of him, silence fell again.

Still nothing happened.

"no no……"

At this moment, he was about to collapse, shaking his head desperately, and he didn't even care that the blade would cut his throat. Liang Youying was so frightened that he could only hold the edge of the blade with his palm, but at this time, it seemed that there was no point in holding him hostage. Without control of Luoyang City, Liang Shide was like a puppet without strings, and he froze in place, looking at the silent distance with bloodshot eyes. Although the situation of Jianchun Gate could not be seen from here, it was obvious that the gunpowder over there had not been ignited.

So, what about the Tongmen?
He walked down the altar dejectedly, step by step. Liang Youying did not try to stop him. She just stood behind him, staring at him coldly with chilling eyes. There seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, watching him lose everything bit by bit.

She murmured, "That's great..."

The deathly silence, like the despair in Liang Shide's heart and the joy in Pei Xingyuan's heart, was constantly expanding and spreading. They could not hear or see what was happening at the gate in the distance, but precisely because they could not hear any movement, they understood that the people arranged by Jiang Wei had also won there!

Then...

There are also Changxia Gate, Dingding Gate and Houzai Gate in the south city. As long as they don't hear the news from Tong Gate, or as long as the people arranged by Jiang Wei stop it in time, they will be safe over there!

As long as, as long as this silence can continue!

And it was as if God had heard their prayers. Such silence was like an invisible cover, shrouding the entire Luoyang city. Apart from the few sounds of gongs just now, there was really no sound at all. The whole city was as quiet as a lifeless bonsai.

Great, great!
Pei Xingyuan couldn't help but jump up, bumped Liang Youying with his arm, and said with a smile: "Jiang Wei is still quite capable, I thought you were just bragging."

At this moment Liang Youying also relaxed and wanted to smile at his ecstatic look, but the expression on her face was a little stiff.

After all, the big things were settled, so she had to deal with the small things.

Seeing her complicated expression, Pei Xingyuan came back to his senses. He turned his head and looked at Liang Shide with a complicated expression. His neck was covered in blood, his eyes were dull, his eyes were red, and he looked like he would rather die than live. He was still staring at Luoyang City in a daze, as if Luoyang City was not blown up, but his entire soul was shattered.

"No, it's impossible..."

He murmured in disbelief: "I can't possibly lose. It's impossible for me to lose all of them..."

Liang Youying looked at him coldly, but seemed not to even be in the mood to argue with him.

Pei Xingyuan snorted coldly: "Your plan is to start from Shangdong Gate, Jianchun Gate, and Tong Gate. Now none of them have been blown up, and Changxia Gate and Houzai Gate in the south city are fine. What, do you still hope that Huimen in the north city will be -"

Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by a loud noise!
This rumble was like a bolt from the blue, not only interrupting Pei Xingyuan's words, but also shattering the silence that seemed to be about to take shape around him, shaking the earth slightly. For a moment, everyone was in a panic, especially Pei Xingyuan, who almost jumped up. Fortunately, Liang Youying grabbed him, but in the panic, she did not forget to immediately put the dagger on Liang Shide's neck.

Everyone looked at each other, pale and terrified. Everyone heard that the loud noise seemed to come from Hui'an Gate in the north of the city.

what happened?

Hui'an Gate, could it be that——
