Chapter 183: A Time of Emergency
Hearing this, Long Xi hurriedly stood up, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all.
took out a piece of silver and threw it to the boss, and ran out quickly.
The boss shouted in the back: "Guest officer, looking for your money".
The striker followed, and at this moment he turned back to the boss at the gate of the hotel very regretfully, shouting at the top of his voice: "The money is on my account, don't forget my appearance, I'll come back next time."
Long Xi walked a few dozen meters away, and suddenly turned around and said, "Inform the Dragon Protector Commander that I am rushing to Dongfu."
Dongfu is the largest of the four families, and its industry and manpower have always been in the top three positions in the Central Plains.
After getting them, Long Xi felt that the other two would not have any difficulty.
The geographical location of Dongfu is very remote, and it has almost moved to the edge of Jianlong City, so the distance is relatively far.
If in the past, Dongfu might still have some scruples because of the existence of Xifu, but now since Ouyang Qian's death, Xifu is no longer able to compete with the other three masters, Ouyang Kun is drunk and dreams all day long, and he can't even make the most basic decisions.
It can be said that the current Xifu is half dead, and even if it does not fall, it no longer poses any threat to others.
The current arrogance of Dongfu has exceeded the maximum bottom line that Long Cheng can tolerate, and even Long Xi didn't expect them to move so quickly.
The growth of one force stems from the suppression of other forces.
Long Xi regretted why he hadn't found out earlier, he should have thought that the East Mansion would take the opportunity to take more resources when the West Mansion was in ruins.
Once the balance is broken, it is difficult to restore it.
There are many careerists in this world who want to achieve a monopoly position, and they are irretrievably inflated by desire.
Nothing goes, no end.
The striker stopped, asked nothing, said nothing, for he knew that it was a very urgent moment, and he had disappeared at the end of the street.
This is all about efficiency.
Even a fraction of a second faster is a meaningful thing.
Longxi turned onto the fifth street.
This is because this is the only street where specialized horses and gear are sold.
Buy horses in the east market and saddle sheath in the west market, but this street has everything.
It's a wide and long sidewalk, and it's deserted at the moment, isn't it even the price of horses?
"Too much?" Long Xi gritted his teeth in resentment.
Just when he had just chosen a fast horse and was about to dig out the silver, there was a sudden sound of breaking the air.
"Young Master Longxi", it turned out to be a striker, and when he fell, the color on his face was already very untasteful, as if vinegar and soy sauce were poured on his face together.
"Why are you back?" , Long Xi was just about to jump on the horse, and the striker suddenly hissed: "Young master is not good, Long Yuan has been attacked by heavy land."
Long Xi's face changed drastically, "What! He led the horse and turned back sharply.
At this moment, suddenly out of nowhere, a small child ran out of nowhere and bumped into him with a disgraced face.
There was a shouting and scolding behind him, "Catch him, don't let him run".
The little boy got up from the ground, and Long Xi inadvertently saw blood marks on his face, as if he had been whipped by a leather whip.
"What's wrong", Long Xi suddenly grabbed him.
"Let go of me, villain", the little boy struggled out of Long Xi's hands and ran out, and within two steps he was caught up by several big men behind him, and then he was pressed to the ground fiercely, and several stinky big feet quickly stepped on his already bloodied face.
The little boy opened his mouth and bit on the toe of a big man's shoe, and the big man was in pain and kicked him several meters away.
The little boy was covered in mud and still desperately got up, but several big men had already grabbed him by the neck.
Long Xi looked at the dying little boy, and suddenly snatched him from the big man's hand and protected him, "How can you adults bully a child."
Seeing that he was out of danger for the time being, the little boy ran forward again, and fell to the ground without taking two steps, gasping for breath.
Long Xi knew that he was exhausted and fell, so he bent over and squatted in front of him and said, "What the hell is going on?" If you fight so hard, you have to die."
The little boy struggled on the ground for a while, unable to stand up with all his might, and his tears suddenly flowed out, and large tears washed down along with the mud on his face.
Several big men were stopped by Longxi, and stood in place for a while, when suddenly a big man with a bare upper body raised his hand and pointed at it, and shouted angrily: "Who are you?" Nosy"
Long Xi raised his head and glanced at them coldly, "Nosy? Do you still want to be shameless, do you see the people of Dragon City, a few people chasing and beating a child".
The big men's chests couldn't stop rising and falling, and they looked very tired, but they didn't let go at all, "You know who he is, you just protect him, the whole street doesn't care about you, this bear child is a thief, he stole me eight times in a row."
Long Xi looked at the little boy, and saw that in addition to tears in his eyes, there was also an obvious shame, Long Xi looked at him for a few seconds, sighed and said, "They said you were a thief."
The little boy did not answer, but the tears flowed even more, and he cried completely, "I don't want to be a thief either, but my mother is dying of hunger, and I am going to save my mother".
Several big men had fierce faces and shouted in a rough voice: "How is it? He admitted it himself, and you see if he still has a few steamed buns hidden in his arms."
"You stole steamed buns?" , Long Xi glanced at the little boy again, stretched out his hand and touched his chest, there was a burst of heat beyond his body temperature, only to see that the little boy's chest had been scalded red by a few steamed buns.
Long Xi felt distressed for a while, "Aren't you afraid of being hot?" ”
The little boy cried hoarsely while weeping, "I want to save my mother".
Several big men stood aside and watched coldly: "If you just come out of the oven, you will steal it, and you deserve to be burned."
Long Xi was furious, pointed at them and said, "Do you still have compassion, such a young child?"
The big men couldn't bear to show weakness and said: "We don't have compassion, you have, you have it, we poor people can't eat enough, how can we have any sympathy."
"You are so vicious, see if I don't teach you a lesson......", the striker couldn't stand it, rolled up his sleeves and rushed up.
Long Xi hurriedly stopped him, "Don't do it, they're just ordinary people."
Several big men saw that Longxi was quite attractive, so they also restrained themselves and walked over, sighed slowly and said: "It's not that we don't save when we die, it's not that we are hard-hearted, it's really forced by life, since the price of flour has risen, we can't even afford to eat steamed buns, thieves, robbers are everywhere, and if it goes on like this, we can only rob it."
Long Xi looked at them, and then glanced at the half of the steamed bun that the little boy was holding tightly in his hand, and the killing intent in his eyes was like a monstrous wave, surging and surging upward.
Several big men were startled and hurriedly retreated.
"It's all the sins of that bastard in Longxi, it's he who makes us hungry, it's he who raises the price, it's he who wants to reopen the world's martial arts", a group of onlookers who didn't know the truth immediately blocked the street.
When the little boy heard this, he also gritted his teeth and said, "Longxi, I want you to die."
Long Xi stared at him, his eyes seemed to be burning with a white light, and he said to the little boy indifferently and gently: "If it is really him, let him die."
The striker couldn't help but gasp and reminded: "Once Long Yuan is lost, the consequences are unimaginable, let's go there first."
Long Xi slowly straightened up and said slowly: "Now the consequences are unimaginable, if I don't settle this matter, I still be the leader of the martial arts alliance."
So saying, he turned on his horse and headed straight to the east.
The striker said anxiously: "That...... What about Long Yuan? It's under siege by 200 fanatics."
"Long Yuan? What's the matter, isn't there Tang Wen? ", Long Xi said impatiently.
The striker still followed behind him with great anxiety, panting and saying, "Is it okay for him alone?" ”
Long Xi rode on his horse, swung a whip, the striker could no longer catch up, stopped and bowed at this moment, a rapid breath, Long Xi's voice came from the distant air, like a thunderstorm: "Believe in everything you can believe, go back."
