Chapter 028: Grievances in the Rivers and Lakes (I)
Speaking of the Cangzhou Continent, this was originally a complete Canglong Dynasty.
Because of the thousand-year-old rebellion, the dynasty was shattered, and the vassal kings of various places established themselves as states.
Among them, the north and south of the Canglong Mountains are the dividing line, with the Cangyue Empire in the north and the Cangri Empire in the south.
Between the two empires, there were more than a dozen vassal states that served as buffer zones for each other.
The Blue Kingdom is one of them, with a total of thirty-two cities and a population of 150 million, which is also a relatively powerful existence among the vassal states.
Jinling City is also close to the Canglong Mountains, making it an important hub for merchants from the north and south.
In the middle of the Cangyue Empire and the Cangri Empire, there are only eighteen important hub cities like this.
Among them, the Azure Kingdom occupies two of them, one is Jinling City and the other is Silver Moon City.
On this day, as usual, the merchants from the northern cities of the Blue Country, after several turnarounds, traveled all the way, driving on a road leading to Jinling City, and the towering city gradually appeared in front of them.
"Stop! I opened this road, I planted this tree, and I want to pass by from here, leaving behind to buy money. ”
Just when they felt that Jinling City was in front of them, they suddenly jumped out from the side, and seven or eight warriors with big swords, led by the warriors, had a hideous scar on their faces, extending from their foreheads to under their left eyes.
The owner of the caravan was a middle-aged fat man in his forties, who was rich in his body.
climbed down from the carriage all the way, and saluted a few people: "Brothers, we have not lost a cent of this month's toll fee, and we have already paid it on time." ”
The fat man wiped the sweat from his forehead, he had never encountered this situation in the future, and every month when he went on the transportation fee, he would issue them a medal, and as long as the carriage wore this medal, no one would trouble them.
I secretly glanced back and saw that the medal was still there, and it was hung in the most conspicuous position, which was a little relieved.
The scar warrior smiled wildly, put the knife on his shoulder, and said, "You don't seem to have heard what I said clearly, this is the money you paid for your life, since you don't want your life, I am very happy to send you to see the king of Hades." ”
The fat man's heart trembled, and he hurriedly took out a money bag from his body, handed it forward and said, "I'll buy, I'll buy, I don't know if these are enough for us to buy our lives." ”
The scar warrior swept the money bag in his hand, and his smile became even brighter: "It turns out that your life is only worth fifteen gold coins in total, very good, very good, I will buy your life!"
The fat man took a step back, shook his head, and said, "No, no, no, I don't know how many gold coins can buy our lives, I will definitely offer it with both hands." ”
The Scar Warrior counted: "There are a total of seventeen of you, and each of you will receive 10,000 gold coins, a total of 170,000 gold coins!"
The fat man's heart jumped suddenly, where is this robbery, this is clearly asking for their lives. Although there were seventeen of them, the highest cultivation was a [Cyclone Realm] lower-level martial artist, and he had spent a lot of money to invite them, just in case.
In the mountain path, there are still some fierce beasts that occasionally slip through the net to attack the caravan, so each caravan will also have some of its own strength. To be able to hire a [Cyclone Realm] martial artist, he was already very willing.
But before coming down, the [Cyclone Realm] martial artist told him that the weakest of the seven people on the opposite side was all on the same level as his strength, which was not like a robbery team at all.
Is such a team trying to rob the City Lord's Mansion?
"Big, big brother, 170,000 gold coins is really a bit too much, my goods are only worth 100,000 gold coins in total, if big brother can look at ......"
The fat man still wanted to say something, he was unlucky to meet these killing gods. Knowing this, I should have listened to my father's words and stopped being a walking merchant, their family lived in the city, there were a few shops, and they could live without worrying about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
After inheriting his father's business, he wanted to prove his ability, so he formed this caravan, which has indeed made him a lot of money in the past three years, from barely scraping together 10,000 gold coins, and now developing to the fact that these goods behind him are worth 100,000 gold coins.
But in that small city, inheriting his father's business, he could only count a dozen gold coins a month to live. The income of these three years also made him forget about business, after all, it was accompanied by some dangers, and countless people fell on the way every year.
Originally, he just wanted to earn more gold coins and stopped, from the original 10,000 gold coins to 20,000 gold coins, at least it could prove that he was not inferior to his father, and he was not a second ancestor who relied on his father.
Later, he thought about making 50,000 gold coins and stopping, but when he earned 50,000 gold coins, he only thought about how to make it bigger.
His father must have been jealous of his talent and overshadowed his original brilliance. When he was a child, he lived in his father's glory, and was the most prosperous person in their village, not only buying a large yard in the city, but also several shops of his own.
But at this time, he suddenly felt that it was not easy for his father to stop in time, and this was also the most amazing thing about his father.
It's a pity that he never seems to have such a chance, and that sword light fell directly on him.
At this time, not far away, a young man with two people was rushing down from the mountain in high spirits.
It was very unfortunate that he also saw this scene.
Turning his head, he said strangely to the other two people: "Isn't it explicitly forbidden by the gang, don't kill people casually?"
One of the people behind him said with a very ugly face: "Little, little boy, let's go quickly, they don't belong to the sect, and they are strong, not something we can provoke." ”
When they saw the Scar Warrior, Scar also saw them, and said with a smile: "Since you're here, why rush to leave?"
Dashing a few times ahead, he landed in front of them, blocking his way.
"The people of the Heavenly Wolf Sect! This is really an unexpected harvest!"
Scar seemed excited, even more excited than the cargo that had previously hijacked a hundred thousand gold coins.
"Knife, Scar, what do you want to do! This is the territory of the Heavenly Wolf Sect!" said the person behind Mo Yao, trembling.
Scar rightfully said, "I know, it's because this is your territory that I'm here to kill someone." I don't just want to kill, I want to kill you!"
Mo Yao frowned and said, "You have a grudge against the Heavenly Wolf Sect?"
Scar nodded and said: "There are some, Mo Wuxian wiped out my sect, this wound on my face was also left by him, and he left a life with kindness, let me change it, I really thank him." ”
Mo Yao said: "But they have no grudge against you. ”
There were seventeen people in the caravan below, and at this time, they were almost finished being cooked by his men, Mo Yao no longer felt any life, only two people were dying, and there seemed to be a faint breath.
Scar said, "Yes, they don't have a grudge against me, but I gave them a chance, and they didn't leave the money to buy their lives." ”
The two people behind Mo Yao said: "Little boy, you go quickly, there is no need to talk nonsense with this evil ghost, we will try to help you buy time." ”
Mo Yao shook his head and said, "The more you are like this, the more he won't let me go." ”
Scar also looked at him curiously and said, "It seems that your identity is not simple in the Heavenly Wolf Valley! ”
Mo Yao looked at Scar and said, "You're so sure, you can eat me?"
Scar couldn't help but laugh and said, "Even if you are an intermediate martial artist in the Qi Transformation Realm, at this age, you can indeed be called a genius in a thousand, and it is very likely that you are still the heir of Mo Wuji's old fox." But you won't be arrogant, you can fight with a martial artist at the level of the Cyclone Realm!"
"Although I am now a high-level martial artist in the Cyclone Realm, I am only one step away from the Foundation Building Realm, maybe after killing you, I will be in a good mood for a while, and I can break through to the Foundation Building Realm. ”
"Behind me, there are still six Cyclone Realm martial artists, with you as a small martial artist of the Cyclone Realm, and two Cyclone Realm lower-level garbage around you, how can you resist us?"
