Chapter 195: Bandits
Shang'an City can only be regarded as a small city in Chetian Country, but it is comparable to a medium-sized city in Dongtu Country, close to the Tuo River, and the water transportation is very developed, transporting resources from the northern mountains to the downstream in a steady stream, and the riverside is full of large ships transporting timber, game and wild herbs.

Muchang landed in the dense forest at the corner of the northern part of the city and walked on foot to Shang'an City, where he wanted to inquire about Qingfeng Cave so that he could prepare and reduce the danger.
At this time, it was still early, the sky had just had a reddish morning glow, and Wu Chang walked on the downhill road leading to Shang'an City, and the outline of the city wall in front of him was already faintly in sight.
Turning a fork in the road, there was a wider mountain road in front of me, and I was unexpectedly met by four strong men.
Wu Chang didn't care at first, thinking that it was a hunter who got up in the mountains to hunt in the morning, but when the four of them saw him, they were stunned, stopped, and asked loudly, he couldn't understand what he said, but he could understand the subsequent movements of the four people.
The four big men took out their weapons from their waists or backs, with knives, swords and axes, and at a glance they knew that these were not hunting guys, but were clearly murder weapons.
Wu Chang suddenly felt bad luck on this trip, and just arrived here when he met a robber.
Most robbers are forced to take this desperate path, and generally have a sense of getting by, greedy at night and lazy in the morning.
Wu Chang hadn't heard of robbers who robbed in the early morning, but looking at the appearance of these four people, they should have spent a night in the city and returned early to avoid the interrogation, just in time to meet him, a foreigner, and make a deal on the way.
As soon as I looked at the clothes, I knew that Wuchang was not a local, and he didn't look strong, and he was alone, and he was still on other people's territory, and he was treated as a fat sheep who had strayed into the wolves.
It's just that these robbers are afraid that they haven't thought about it, and how can they be ordinary people who dare to travel alone in the mountains and forests at night.
Of course, Wuchang is not a fat sheep, but an extremely dangerous guy, there have been many strongmen who have fallen at his feet, and if you don't mess with him, you may be fine, but if you provoke him, you will become a creditor who urges him to die.
Wu Chang didn't want to think about it, let alone answer, he made the first move, and the electric light sword was born in response to the thought, and flew over with a cold glow.
He was about to test the power of this spell.
The sword light only flashed, and one of the big men was split in half with a knife.
The other three robbers looked frightened, and shouted the same syllable at the same time, although Wu Chang couldn't understand it, but they also knew that they had discovered that he was a ninshi, and the strength of the ninshi had penetrated into the hearts of the people of the former garden star.
By the time the second robber's head left his body and flew up, the other two robbers had already thrown away their weapons and fell to their knees.
Wu Chang stopped and nodded secretly in satisfaction, his electric light sword was faster and sharper than Mengzhou Nianshi's.
His electric light saber has been integrated with the newly sensed Origin Law, and it already has the flavor of a void stunt, but it is limited to the way the electric light saber operates, and it can't break through the extreme speed, but it is no longer something that ordinary things can resist.
He didn't kill the two remaining robbers, because they were still useful.
Striding towards the two robbers, under their frightened gazes, he stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the head of one of the slightly thin men, searching for souls.
A little resistance, forcibly searched for the soul.
The big man's face showed a look of extreme pain.
The other big man stared blankly, and a fierce light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly picked up the axe on the ground and slashed at Wuchang.
A dog will go up a tree when he is in a hurry, and a rabbit can bite when he is in a hurry, not to mention that he is a robber in the first place, and he has to fight back with his life.
Wu Chang had already been distracted and guarded against him, stretched out his left hand, caught the axe, and the steel axe twisted and deformed in his hand like a ball of mud, turning into a ball of scrap metal, and throwing it to the ground.
This disturbance, the soul search did not control the strength, and the big man who was searched for the soul was twisted into a pulp in his head, and his eyes fell down in a daze.
Wu Chang let go, shook his head, and looked coldly at the only remaining robber.
The scar on the robber's face trembled with despair, and he picked up the sword on the ground with a shaking hand and laid it across his neck.
Wu Chang looked at him, and did not hinder him.
The robber's hand suddenly stopped shaking, and with a long sigh, his hand exerted force, and blood splattered.
Wuchang took a step back, avoiding the gushing plasma, and then stepped forward again, pressing on the bandit's head, searching for souls.
This time there was no resistance, and those who judged themselves dead did not have the will to resist.
Wu Chang originally just wanted to learn the language of the people here, but he didn't expect to get something useful from the robber's memory.
This group of robbers have committed crimes, were arrested by the government, and have no way out, so they live in the mountains and forests, because Wanfeng Mountain is their home, so they are more familiar with the situation here, and Qingfeng Mountain has also been there, but no one dares to enter Qingfeng Stream.
On the other hand, Chai Shuo, the national teacher of Chetian Country, recruited some outlaws at a high price all the year round to explore Qingfeng Cave, but he has always been there and never returned, but because of the high bounty, there are always some people who will not spare their lives in order to support their families.
Other death row prisoners were also taken to Qingfengjian, saying that if they could get out alive, they would be exempted from all crimes and receive bounties.
Therefore, every few months, a group of expeditions will go to Qingfeng Stream.
These four people didn't go to Shang'an City to have a good time, they didn't dare, they went to visit their boss, Liu Feng.
Liu Feng is the leader of the Eagle Village in Shang'an Mountain, originally just a scholar, avenging his father and burning the whole family of a rich family, wanted by the government, and his friend Lu Ma settled in the Eagle Gorge, started a business without capital, and later recruited troops and horses, built the Eagle Village, pulled up a team of 100 people, and became a large local force.
Because the Eagle Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the back mountains extend in all directions, and you can retreat to other mountains and forests, and the government has failed to encircle and suppress it several times.
Half a year ago, Liu Feng secretly went home to visit his mother in disguise, but he was betrayed by someone, caught by the officials, and sentenced to death, but was included in this batch of expeditions by the national teacher Chai Shuo.
The four of them went to Shang'an City to inquire about the news, to see which way the expedition team went, and whether there was a chance to rescue their boss on the road.
The person who was searched for the soul was called Yang Xuan, who turned out to be a butcher who sold meat, and fled to the Eagle Village after being drunk and hurting people, and had no other skills, only a handful of strength, because of his addiction to alcohol, and his drinking style was not good, he beat people and made trouble when he was drunk, and his popularity in the village was not good.
Sheep estimates, it's a terrible name.
But Wu Chang is ready to use this identity to blend in with the expedition.
Soon, he transformed himself into a sheep, and even the scars on his face were exactly the same, but he lost some weight, thinking that Liu Feng had not seen him for a long time, and he would definitely be able to see the flaws.
The clothes on the sheep's body were full of blood and could not be used anymore, and Wu Chang changed the clothes of the robbers who failed to search for souls, which were still a little loose, and he had to settle for it.
Compared to these robbers who eat meat and drink in large bowls, his figure is much thinner.
Throwing the corpses of the four people one by one into a no-man's ravine, the sky was already bright, and Wu Chang also consumed a lot of mental power, so he hid in a remote mountain forest to cultivate.
In the past year, with the help of faith, his mental power has increased a lot, but he has been flying for days and days, and it has consumed a lot, and those robbers are heavy, and it is very difficult to fly with their bodies, and he needs to recover well.
Three days later, he came to the mountain road that led to Qingfeng Mountain.
There is a liquor store here.
The liquor store is nameless, with only two wooden houses, a canopy, and is the only place in the neighborhood where you can eat.
The surrounding cottages often come here to buy some wine and meat, and they are very familiar with each other, and no one will stop the idea of coming here.
The owner of the wine shop is called Feng Qi, a sturdy old man, because the sheep estimate often comes to him to sell wine, and he has also broken several of his wine jars, so he knows the sheep estimate.
When Wuchang arrived, Feng Qi was very displeased, afraid that he would be immoral after drinking and damage his family, but when Wuchang slapped the iron money he found from the four robbers on the wine table, he still happily entertained him.
There is a lack of high-quality iron ore on the surface of Qianyuanxing, and the output of steel is not abundant, but it is a commonly used thing, so the price is expensive, and all countries generally use iron to make money.
Wu Chang wants to come with a big bowl of meat, a few jars of wine, and eat and drink.
Feng Qi was very worried, but fortunately, after Wuchang finished drinking, he fell asleep on his desk and did not go crazy with alcohol.
Soon, a group of men and horses came from a distance, but they were officials.
Feng Qi was in a hurry, the officials and bandits were incompatible, and he wanted to help Wuchang to hide behind the room, but he was knocked down by Wuchang's punch, and he lay on the wine table with a loud voice.
"You asked for it, don't blame me Feng Qi for not helping you. Feng Qi muttered to himself.
After a while, two people riding short-legged and stout mountain horses to open the way in front of them came first, with light leather armor all over their bodies, holding Changyu and carrying short knives at their waists, but they were two regular soldiers.
"Hey, Feng Qi, are the wine and meat ready?" asked the older soldier on the left.
"Master Jun, I received a notice a few days ago, and I have already prepared it, the wine is in the house, and the meat is suffocating in the pot. Feng Qi said with a smile.
The two soldiers dismounted, looked at the sleeping man on the table under the canopy, and asked, "Who is he?"
"A drinker, you have drunk too much, Master Jun, wait a minute, I'll go and bring you wine. Feng Qi responded and walked towards the house, trying to avoid this and wrong.
The young soldier stepped forward, grabbed his hair with one hand, lifted it, and instantly changed color: "Brother Hong, this is Yang Yi, the bandit of Eagle Village, look at this scar on his face." ”
Wu Chang shook his head, pretending to be drunk and hazy, and shouted drunkly: "Feng Laoqi, you don't care about me, dare to grab Lao Tzu's hair, I will kill you." ”
said that he punched over, but the fist was slow and soft, and it was better to say that it was a beating than a push.
The soldier frowned, let go of his hand, and with a slight flicker, he put his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist and asked, "Brother Hong, do you want to kill him?"
Brother Nahong swiped his palm down and made a fierce gesture.
The soldier drew his sword from its sheath, and the blade slashed at the neck of the ungrown with a cold light.
At this time, the punch that hit the person just now was swung out again, but this time only the shadow of the fist was seen, and the shadow of the fist met the blade.
The flesh fist collides with the steel knife.
As a result, nothing happened with the meat fist.
The sword of 100 steel was smashed to pieces.
Then, the fist flashed again, and the soldier's chest sank into a tooth-aching sound of bones cracking.
The soldier's face was full of disbelief, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding profusely, and he slowly withered.
Wu Chang raised his head with a helpless expression.
He originally designed to blend into the expedition as a sheep and become an inconspicuous character, so that if there is danger, it will not fall on him first, and there are others in front to warn him, but he didn't expect that the soldiers of this Che Tian country would be so ruthless, and he would kill people without saying a word, he couldn't be stabbed in vain, and the original plan was in vain.
The trip was a lot of trouble.
The elderly soldier Brother Hong looked at him blankly, except for not believing it or not, a fist made of flesh can break a steel knife, is this still a human?
Then he came back to his senses a little, glanced at the mountain horse not far away beside him, and wanted to run, but he didn't dare.
