Chapter 44: The Cheap Name Ling Xiao
These horse thieves are a little too arrogant, aren't they...... Tian Wai's expression was a little abnormal, as far as he was concerned, even if he was a powerful horse thief, he would not easily choose to rush directly into the city to carry out this kind of burning, killing and looting, but obviously, this kind of thing has not happened in Yancheng, just looking at the reactions of these people, he knows that they should have been used to such a thing.
Could it be that the city lord of Yancheng doesn't care about this kind of thing? So what else does this city lord do? Tian Wai stood on top of the house on the side of the road, and did not attract the attention of these horse thieves, but at the end of this road, there was Zhuang Diemeng's new house, and Yue Yao'er and Zhuang Diemeng were among them at the moment. Sooner or later, they'll come up against these horse thieves.
Sky Cry followed these horse thieves all the way, they did not kill anyone, but only carried out brutal looting and robbery, destroying some buildings from time to time.
"These thieves are smart and know how to be sustainable. ”
"Childe, what does this mean?"
"Look at them, just robbing and not killing, these people's psychology will have a fluke mentality, feel that they have escaped, normal people easily do not want to leave their hometown, so they will choose to stay, and when they fatten themselves, the horse thieves will come again. ”
Cher looked at the scene below in amazement, how could these horse thieves think of this? However, looking at the movements of these horse thieves, they did have such thoughts, even when it came to the meat in their mouths, they did not start, but let these people go.
But there are so many young women who have been taken away by these horse thieves!
"Childe, why are they ......?"
"I'm afraid I want to rob it back and sell it. Tian Wai said helplessly, such things don't just happen here, under the seemingly calm water surface of Tianyue, there are many places where such a situation occurs. As soon as the new country was established, not to mention the law and humanity, the barren economic conditions alone were enough to make many people take risks.
Human trafficking and brothels are undoubtedly the most lucrative ways. Then these lawless horse thieves, the best choice, is this.
"Don't stop yet!" a loud shout interrupted the thieves' movements, and they all turned their heads to look at the group of centaurs. If Tian Wai didn't guess wrong, I'm afraid that this is the people of the City Lord's Mansion in this Yan City. However, it seems that it is only on par with horse thieves, and the equipment is slightly better, but this morale does not look very high.
The one standing at the head of the row should be the city lord of Yancheng, with a bitter face on his face, looking at the horse thief in front of him. With a chaotic strength, there is no reason to be afraid of these horse thieves!
"Get out of here!"
"City Lord He, it's not your turn to take care of our affairs. ”
"Hmph! Even if you are in charge here today, I will take care of it! Get out of here!"
"He Chengjian, you have to figure out what position you are in now! You can still easily sit in the position of the city lord, isn't it because we are in charge of your care?!" The horse thief leader said menacingly, "This wild goose city is the most well-preserved city around, what is the situation in the middle, don't you have any points in your heart?"
He Chengjian looked at the surrounding situation with an angry face, and looked at the surrounding situation with some panic, but found that many soldiers looked at him, and there seemed to be a feeling that suspicion had come true on their faces. Could it really be because of the collusion between the city lord and the horse thief that they have today's situation in Yancheng?
"Fart! Yancheng is guarded by the Tianyue Army, and it is adjacent to the sunset moon, you are simply a rat trap, and now you still want to sow discord, you are really brutes!"
"Brute?!" the horse thief leader suddenly laughed, "He City Lord, who is the brute, who knows best." ”
Tianwee's brows frowned slightly, so to speak, this city lord's ass is probably not clean, and maybe even the people who are really in cahoots with this group of horse thieves, the nest is reversed, and the thief shouts to catch the thief!
"Stubborn! Give me and take down these horse thieves!"
The horse thief leader's eyes were stunned, he didn't expect He Chengjian to really dare to order to fight with them! But his reaction was also not slow, and he immediately commanded his team to launch an attack on this group of Tianyue Army.
Many people in Yancheng had never seen such a terrible battle, hundreds of people were fighting here, and the horse thief leader and He Chengjian were also fighting together!
What is the situation, a horse thief can have the strength of the chaotic realm?
Skycry had already left the previous place with Cher, which was too close to the area of the battle, so Skycry avoided it a little. I found out that there are a lot of people hiding here.
"Childe, he also has the strength of the chaotic realm?" Since he began to receive spiritual power, Tianwai has not taught Xue'er some relevant knowledge, and Xue'er is not weak in terms of realm cognition now, and she has also begun to use her spiritual sense recently, I have to say that she is the fastest progressing person Tianwai has ever seen! In just a few months, Xue'er's realm has reached the strength close to the chaotic realm, and such a speed of progress is simply incredible!
However, although her spiritual power is very strong, Xue'er's strength may not be able to match that of an old Jianghu who is determined to be a heavy one. After all, she had never experienced any training or cultivation of exercises. It's just guarding Baoshan, but this doesn't prevent Xue'er from seeing the situation in front of her clearly.
That horse thief leader can be on a par with the lord of a city, which shows the depth of his strength!
"These horse thieves are our soil emperors here!" said an old man beside Tianwai helplessly, "Not only in Yancheng, their power is very large, even if it is Xiyue, there are also their people, so we didn't run, it's not that we don't want to run, it's really nowhere to run." ”
"It's very powerful, how big is it?" Tian Wai looked at the old man suspiciously, since someone said so, I am afraid that this sphere of influence will really exceed Tian Wai's expectations.
"I heard that half a moon is within their range of strength, and there are their people in the entire north, and there are enough of them in charge alone. ”
Half a moon, Tianwee's pupils shrank, this kind of strength range, not to mention building a city, building a small country, I'm afraid it's enough, but before again, he had never heard of the existence of such a horse thief!
A short time passed, the two separated again, the horse thief leader and He Chengjian were shocked, it seemed that they didn't expect that the other party's strength would be able to match their own five or five, and they even realized that in a short period of time, I am afraid they will not be able to tell the winner!
In such a situation, there is no way for them to end this battle, and the final result is probably just a defeat for both sides. The leader of the horse thieves pulled the two of them apart, and immediately raised one hand high, signaling his men and horses to immediately distance themselves from the other party's Tianyue army, and there were casualties on both sides, but they were not heavy.
"He Chengjian! You have a kind! Wait for Lao Tzu!" roared angrily, and after letting out a cruel word, the horse thief leader immediately left here with people! Even after arriving, He Chengjian did not dare to send people to pursue, but showed a tired look. With some heavy relief, he turned to look at the soldiers behind him.
"I know you're blaming me for not making a move, and you've always suspected that I had a deal with these horse thieves. I'm telling you now, I do have a deal with them!"
This group of soldiers looked at He Chengjian in shock, and didn't understand why he would say that, even if it was true, he didn't need to say it in this kind of place, right?
"My deal with them is to only rob, not kill!" He Chengjian said helplessly, "You don't know how powerful they are?" You all know, you are all young people, you don't know how to deal with such a situation, you are not their opponents at all, we have no other way than to wait for Tianyue's support." Today, they're just a squad of horse thieves, but next time? If they want to take revenge, will they only come with such a few people? This time you're both defeated, and next time you're going to face more and stronger thieves?"
In the face of He Chengjian's cannonball-like rhetorical question, these soldiers' faces were pale and uncertain, and they were a little shocked to understand the truth of the matter, they seemed to have come to stop this group of horse thieves this time, and they succeeded, but it seemed that they were about to usher in a greater failure!
He Chengjian sighed heavily, and finally sat weakly on the stone steps on both sides of the road.
"Soon, this army of horse thieves will be coming! ”
"If we're leaving, what about the people here!?"
"People, that's the way horse thieves make money, they can't die, but you can't live! They won't let the threat of the Tianyue Army always exist by their side. Leave, go now. ”
These young soldiers had just joined the ranks of the Tianyue Army in recent years, but they didn't expect to be sent to such a place similar to the border, and what they didn't expect was that they would meet such a cowardly city lord! At first, all of them thought that the city lord was afraid of the strength of the horse thieves, so they had been forbearing, and even allowed this group of horse thieves to burn, kill, loot, and even plunder the population in the wild goose city!
So they risked their lives to admonish each other, in exchange for He Chengjian's most helpless attack. In exchange for today's results, He Chengjian treats them well on weekdays, but this time, it is all of them who are trapped in He Chengjian's injustice.
Half an hour passed, and this group of soldiers of the Tianyue Army did not choose to leave, and all of them even sat in place, accompanying He Chengjian and waiting for the arrival of the horse thieves! They were at the gate of Yancheng, guarding the dilapidated gates of this ancient city, and if there were horse thieves coming, they would meet them as soon as possible and help these people to be the last line of defense.
"Childe, these horse thieves are so hateful. Cher glanced at a group of people behind her, almost all of them looking like frightened birds, trembling in their respective hiding places.
"It's a bit overdone. "Everything needs to have a potential balance, Tian Wai has always felt so, if there are no horse thieves here, Tian Wai doesn't believe that it can be better than the current situation, but if it is all horse thieves, then the situation should not exist, everything in this world, after all, must be a balance.
"Let's go, Cher, and follow me to the city gate. ”
"Young man, I advise you not to go, you are not from Yancheng, I only saw you enter the city this morning. Listen to my advice and leave quickly. The old man closed his eyes and said in despair, "The situation here cannot be changed by you. ”
The old man had seen Tianwai jumping off the roof with Xue'er before, and thought that this young man should also be a martial artist. But how strong these horse thieves are, just by looking at their sphere of influence, you can see it. How can a young man change the situation? They have already resigned themselves to their fate.
"Old man, I have never done things only if I want to do it or not, and there is no way to do it. Tian wept and smiled, but asked curiously, "By the way, old man, I don't know your surname?"
"Uh...... is old and weak, and his cheap name is not enough to worry about. ”
Tianwai and Xue'er shook at the same time, their eyes changed instantly, and when they heard this name again after several years, they felt so unfamiliar. There are so many people with the same name and surname in the world, and how many people are called Ling Xiao? But there is no one who is the Ling Xiao in their hearts.
Tian Weeping's expression suddenly became a little bitter, looking at Ling Xiao's wrinkled face, he felt a sense of sadness in his heart. With some difficulty in his mouth, he said, "Ling ...... Elder Ling, this is not a cheap name, you can rest assured that you are here. Today, no one can hurt you!"
Originally, Tian Wai was just because he couldn't get used to the behavior and arrogance of this group of horse thieves, so he decided to go to the city gate to watch the situation for the time being, but as for whether to move or not, Tian Wai hadn't even made up his mind!
But at this moment, Tian Wai's thoughts completely changed! Not for anything else, just because there was an existence with the same name as Ling Lao in this ancient city of Yancheng! Even if it was just the same name, he would never let "Ling Lao" be hurt in the slightest! Because of one person, Tian Wai would not hesitate to slaughter a city!
Holding Xue'er's hand, the two of them walked towards the city gate without hesitation.
