Chapter 638: Lowly Villagers
Crunch. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The door of the last house in the village shook and made a dry sound, and Xu Yan raised his feet and stepped in.
The room was very dark, and there were two white bones lying next to the dilapidated bed, one of which was kneeling, touching the ground with its head, and should be begging for mercy before dying, and the other with its back to the door, and its outstretched arm against the bed, as if to stop the murderer.
It was supposed to be a young couple, because on the dilapidated bed, there was a small white bone, and under the white bone was a swaddling swaddling body that had been gnawed by insects and ants.
The corner of the swaddling clothes is embroidered with words, and a broken 'Thai' can be roughly recognized, and there should be a 'An' word in front, which means that the baby is Antai, and now the Thai word has been gnawed by insects and ants, leaving only the middle one, which looks like a hideous insect.
The cold gaze swept over the hut, and Xu Yan's ears seemed to be the cry of a man, the pleading of a woman, and the cry of a baby.
The room was as dead and silent, but the wailing in his ears was getting louder and louder, and in front of Xu Yan's eyes, a tragic scene flowed.
In the middle of the night, a horrible creature broke into the house, killing a family of three and slaughtering the entire village......
With his eyebrows locked, Xu Yan sat at the head of the bed, looking at the little white bones beside him.
At the end of the gaze, there was a small hole in the forehead of the white bone, which ran through the back of the head, and it was this small hole that sucked up all the vitality of this small corpse.
"Demon ......"
A light sigh became the only voice in the dead land, these lifeless villages reminded Xu Yan of the locust plague in Dapu back then.
The mountains and rivers in the deserted village rose in the wind and flew high into the air.
Looking into the distance, Xu Yan saw a river in the distance, not too wide, it should be a branch of the Tongtian River, and above the river, there was a strange giant city that seemed to be built in the air.
The reason why the giant city cannot be suspended in the air is because the base of the giant city is covered with countless stone pillars, which are arranged on both sides of the river and stretch for several miles.
It was those stone pillars that built a city across the river!
Against the backdrop of the setting sun, the long and narrow giant city in the distance is like a multi-legged centipede, which is not only bizarre, but also hideous.
The city of a thousand feet is famous for the thousands of stone pillars on both sides of the river below the city.
The small village at his feet is the territory of the Thousand Foot City, and Xu Yan, who wanted to stay away from these giant cities and find a place to retreat, changed his mind, and with a move under his feet, the mountains and rivers went straight to the giant city on the river.
The small village full of white bones did not make Xu Yan feel pity, the law of the world is the law of the world, but a cloud of anger is burning more and more in Xu Yan's heart!
Don't even let go of the baby, the city lord of Thousand Feet City is more damned than Niu Changle!
The galloping flying magic weapon soon approached the giant city in the river, stepping on the afterglow of the sunset, the young figure climbed the stairs outside the city gate, with a simple smile, and with a thousand killing intent, towards this thousand-legged city.
There were guards in iron armor under the city gate at the end of the stairs, and it was getting dark, and several guards were about to close the city gate, and when they saw someone about to enter the city, the leader of them immediately shouted impatiently: "Close the gate!" When do you still want to enter the city, when the thousand-foot city is opened by your family, squat outside the city for a night. ”
The crunching gate fell, and several guards hid behind the gate and looked sarcastically at the young man who had just approached.
It is dark and locked, this is the rule of Thousand Foot City, whether to close the door early or late is the city guard.
Xu Yan's footsteps did not stop, neither fast nor slow, it was just a big city, how could it stop the Xudan strongman.
As soon as I walked outside the city gate, the gate was only half a person high, and the city guard inside deliberately mocked: "If you move quickly, you may be able to climb in, as long as you don't get crushed by the gate, hahahaha." ”
There was a cold glint in his eyes, and when Xu Yan was about to smash the city gate, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and a team of fast horses rushed directly up the stairs, and the people at the head were still shouting and scolding.
"Open the door! Close so early, all the fucking looking for a beating!"
Hearing the scolding, the guards in the city changed their faces one by one, and hurriedly reopened the city gate, and no one dared to laugh at it.
"Hey, it's you. ”
The visitor saw Xu Yan immediately, and immediately smiled: "It turned out to be Brother Xu, let's go into the city for a while." ”
Riding on the horse was the strong man Qianli who met in the Changle City Restaurant.
That's exactly what I mean. ”
Xu Yan smiled faintly, and as the other party entered the city, Qian Li had already jumped off the horse, and said as he walked: "Brother Xu is not slow, why didn't I see you riding a horse, I won't come all the way from Baile City." ”
"The multiplier is coming. Xu Yan said casually.
"Do you have a flying magic weapon?" Qian Li was taken aback and said, "It seems that Brother Xu is worth a lot of money, much more generous than me, and after so many years in the City Lord's Mansion, he hasn't even mixed a flying magic weapon." ”
As he spoke, Qianli's eyes flickered, and a greed was well concealed by him.
"What did Brother Xu think about last time, as long as you and I join forces, those monks in the poor countryside will definitely not be able to resist it. Qian Li said in a low voice, his way to get the spirit stone was to rob, rob the monks in those villages and towns.
"Okay. Xu Yan said quietly: "When I came, I saw some uninhabited villages, and those dead villagers, are they all moths and cicadas?" ”
"Those lowly villagers were all killed by the city lord, as long as there is one less green worm, no one in the village can survive. Qianli snorted and said, "It's not that I don't know the rules of Qianzu City, the current villagers are getting lazier and lazier, digging insects, and it's not for them to go to find treasures, and they can't complain about others by looking for their own death." ”
"Why don't the villagers move into the city, the residents of the city shouldn't have to hand in those tasks. Xu Yan asked a question that he couldn't figure out.
"How can they be qualified to live in the city, the city lives in the family members of the city lord's palace guards, and the most important ones must be the relatives of the city lord's mansion, and the relatives of a guard are at most hundreds, so the people who live in the city are all the city lord's people, which is different from those lowly villagers. ”
Qianli's answer completely ignited the anger in Xu Yan's heart.
The relatives of the guards of the city lord's mansion can live in the city, without going through those difficult collection tasks, and those who are not related to the city lord's mansion can only live in the villages and towns outside, being treated as slaves, collecting all kinds of resources year after year, and if they don't collect enough resources at a time, they will die, this is no longer the relationship between the princes and the fiefdom, but the villagers are kept in captivity as pigs and dogs!
"City Lord, can you be in the city?" Xu Yan chuckled and said, "I am not talented, my skills are not bad, I don't know if Brother Qian can recommend it on your behalf." ”
"It's good to say, hehe, the city lord is in the city lord's mansion, and he is about to go back to restore his life, whether he can become the city lord guard at that time depends on the creation of Brother Xu. ”
Qianli agreed, but his heart was overjoyed.
From the beginning of paying the bill in the restaurant, he had already seen that the other party was quite wealthy, but he didn't dare to start because he didn't know the details of the other party, and now that he was in his Qianli's territory, the fat sheep beside him couldn't let go.
I wanted to trick Xu Yan into looting other villages and towns, and had the opportunity to slaughter Xu Yan together, but I didn't expect the other party to make a recommendation, which saved trouble, because the city lord guard of Qianzu City never wanted outsiders, only the warriors and monks in the city were qualified, if outsiders recklessly wanted to become the city lord guard, the biggest possibility was to be killed by the city lord on the spot!
