Chapter 130: The East City Gate Turmoil
As soon as Xiao Manzhan left the City Lord's Mansion, he went directly to the east city gate, and did not wander the streets. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He was used to staying in the dim atmosphere of the border, and at this time, he only felt extremely uncomfortable when he walked in the sunlight of people coming and going.
When Xiao Manzhan approached the city gate, he happened to meet a gray-haired old woman and a rickety man wrapped in a white robe, and was about to go out of the city, but was stopped by the soldiers defending the city to check and verify his identity.
"Well, there's no problem with your identity, but this one?" the soldiers glanced at the mysterious man behind the old man with a face hidden.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my daughter, she is seriously ill and it is really inconvenient to see people, I plan to take her to seek medical treatment elsewhere, do you see if it is accommodating?" said the old woman, took out a few ingots of silver from her purse and handed them to a few guards who blocked the way.
The old man's words can be described as full of flaws, Dust City is already a relatively prosperous city in Youzhou, where do the old people plan to seek medical treatment if they are not treated here?
Besides, if they were really sick, and there were no people for hundreds of miles in the vast desert, they did not follow the caravan but the two of them traveled lightly, and they would have died on the road before they reached other cities.
Therefore, the only explanation is that these two people are not ordinary, and eighty percent of them violated the [Xuanfa] and were hunted down by the officials, so they went to the wasteland to escape punishment through Youzhou. Such people appear in the dust city from time to time, although the dust city lord did not say anything about this, but his meaning is probably to let the soldiers guarding the city turn a blind eye and let this type of people go, after all, this kind of people are the main source of people in Youzhou Town to guard the border wasteland.
Several of the guards opened their mouths when they saw this, and were about to take the money, but they were stopped by the chief in charge of the information sitting on a stool in the city gate, who stood up and paced forward.
"Go away!" the chief said coldly to the two, and the old man smiled politely, and walked out of the city gate with the mysterious man in white robe in front of everyone.
"Why didn't the chief take their money today?" the guards guarding the city beside him said suspiciously when they saw that people were gone. Although they are superiors and subordinates, they have been together for many years and know the root and have feelings, so there is something that will not be hidden in their hearts.
"Forget it, it's all a gray-haired old man, and she would be ashamed to accept her money!" explained the chief.
"They're obviously not ordinary people, maybe they're heinous criminals, and this money is nothing to them!" retorted the defender.
"Having said that, it's her business to make money or not, but whether or not to take the old man's money is my business, and I don't want to do anything with a troubled conscience. The chief shook his head and explained.
The soldiers defending the city had to laugh at it, although their commander was good, but this pedantic mother-in-law and mother-in-law had never been able to change her character, and she suffered a lot of dark losses because of this. In this regard, several defenders of the city had 'advised' him to correct it countless times in the name of their friends in their lives, but they could not change it, and finally everyone concluded that it was nature.
"At this age, what kind of sin do you let go?" said the chief wistfully as he looked at his distant back.
What the soldiers defending the city did not know was that the silver handed to them by the old man was already covered with poison, and if it were not for the compassion of their commander, they would all be in danger of being poisoned at this moment.
"Hey, the lord of the city of dust forced us to leave the city of dust by himself, the old man originally wanted to leave some thoughts for him, but he didn't expect that this stunned young man guarding the city turned out to be a good person!" the old woman smiled kindly, with a mocking expression in her expression.
No wonder he had to defend the city here, that is, in Youzhou, if he had died in the wasteland, he would have died many times!"
Xiao Manzhan watched everything from the sidelines, and the chief was the one who lent his robe to Xiao Manzhan before.
"Thank you, it's just a little dirty!" Xiao Manzhan stepped forward and took off his robe and handed it to the chief, the robe was stained with the blood on Xiao Manzhan's clothes, and it was slightly red.
"It's okay, it's all an honor! I won't tell you that I want to kill the enemy on the side, but I don't have enough skills!" the chief smiled.
"Hahaha! Isn't it also an honor to be stationed at the city gate to protect the people?" said the little barbarian with a smile. He was very interested in the person in front of him, and saw the shadow of Uncle Bai from the character of the chief in front of him.
"Eh, it's far-fetched! No one dares to attack the Dust City, and there are no evil people in the city to protect the people?
Xiao Manzhan was not in a hurry to leave, and wanted to say a few more words of greeting after hearing the words of the chief of the city. But suddenly, I only felt someone hurriedly walking behind him, and a light wind was raised, and Xiao Manzhan immediately turned around, but there was no one behind him.
"What's wrong?" the chief asked.
"No! nothing!" Xiao Manzhan shook his head.
"I obviously feel someone passing by, but why can't I see a human figure?" Xiao Manzhan moved his nose, and an extremely faint smell in the air walked out of the city to confirm his feelings.
"I'll go out of the city and have a look!" Xiao Manzhan immediately said goodbye to everyone and ran out of the city.
"What's wrong with him?" puzzled the chief in the cave.
Xiao Manzhan searched for the smell, and sure enough, not far from the city, he saw three lines of footprints in the desert, two of which were close to blurring, but one was just printed. Obviously, someone did sneak out of the dust city just now, and followed the two grandmothers from before.
"Who could this be? follow up and see if the situation is wrong, it's nothing wrong with me anyway!" Xiao Manzhan followed, he wondered what kind of person was this person who could walk out of the city gate in full view.
The little barbarian battle unfolded and ran at great speed in the desert, and the dust city behind it slowly became smaller until it disappeared. Finally, on a sand dune, Xiao Manzhan saw the old woman who had left the dust city and the man in the white robe, but there was no third person.
"Could it be that the mysterious man didn't come with them?" Xiao Manzhan hid in the sand dunes for a while, and just as he was about to return the same way, he suddenly found a row of footprints in the desert behind the old grandmother and the two of them, slowly approaching, but there was no human figure in sight.
"What's going on?" Xiao Manzhan hid himself and watched intently. After the footprints behind the two approached, a masked man appeared out of thin air on the footprints, and the masked man took out a short weapon from his waist and prepared to assassinate the two immediately.
However, the small brute battle above the sand dunes was full of rage, and the weapon that the masked man pulled from his waist was all too familiar, a short weapon with a flame motif printed on it.
"The weapon made by the Royal Research Workshop - Zhan Xiong!" said Xiao Manzhan through gritted teeth.
Before the man could act, the little barbarian swooped down from the dunes like a missile, and smashed his fist at the man in black with a short soldier.
Seeing this, the man in black hurriedly jumped out of the way, and the little barbarian battle fell short of a blow, and suddenly the sand and dust rose, and the whole person got into the sand because of the excessive force. The whereabouts of the man in black were exposed and he was ready to retreat immediately, but as soon as he turned around, the little barbarian battle pierced through the desert under his feet, and the small fist rushed towards the man in black, but the figure in black was extremely flexible, and he actually dodged sideways.
The man in black jumped back again, his figure jumping in the air, and then suddenly divided into several identical figures in the air, and the little barbarian wanted to pursue but couldn't tell which one was the main body.
Just when the little brute was in a moment of confusion, a chill rose behind him, and his nerves, alert like a beast, had a premonition of danger. Xiao Manzhan hurriedly bowed forward, but it was still too late.
The man in black appeared behind him and stabbed him in the left shoulder, and if he hadn't noticed it, it would have pierced him in the heart.
"Ang!" Xiao Man shouted angrily, endured the pain and quickly raised his left hand to grab the tip of the weapon that came out of his shoulder, and the man in black behind him pulled out the weapon, but he couldn't pull it out because he was caught by Xiao Man.
Xiao Manzhan immediately grabbed his right hand behind his back, grabbed the long hair of the man in black and smashed it forward, knocking the man in black down in front of him, and then punched the man in black in the chest and shattered his heart. The battle ended quickly, and it all happened between the lightning and the flint.
However, the little brute was not satisfied, and pounced on the corpse of the man in black like a beast, and his fists kept smashing into the chest of the man in black, until the flesh and bones were mixed with the yellow sand.
