Chapter 55: Bandits

"What are you doing?" he asked politely, seeing the coachman staring at him, swallowing the butter cake in his mouth that he had not finished chewing.

"Young man, where are you going, mule with your head?"

Han Lingxiao's eyes widened in surprise, and when he looked back for a while, this "old horse" really had a bit of a mule's taste!

"Go to Tianhuang City. After he finished speaking, he took a hard bite of the bread in his hand.

"Hey, I heard you right! This kid said he was going to take this mule to Tianhuang City!" the coachman said with a laugh on his back, and the surrounding guests couldn't help laughing and talking. The tea farmer on the side looked at him with wide eyes and admiration.

"Hey, young man, you can't walk to Tianhuang City with this mule, the road ahead is still far away, and if you can't get out of Yuguo, your old mule will be tired to death!"

Han Lingxiao looked back at the mule, it had been fed by him in the past few days, and it was now eating the tender grass on the ground with relish. He waved his hand at the coachman, "I'm tired, I've fed it all the way." ”

"Hey, no matter how well you feed, you can't reach the long distance!, but I have a good way," he narrowed his eyes and approached Han Lingxiao, pointing to a small village not far away, "I have someone I know over there, so I will help you entrust it to that family for free, and you can take my car to Tianhuang City." ”

Han Lingxiao was hesitating, and the man said again: "You see that your mule is so old, ordinary people don't want money, now I will help you give it to a good Samaritan, so that you can take my car, hey, it is easy and fast to reach Tianhuang City." ”

"Then I'll go with you, and just go to thank that family. Han Lingxiao was about to get up as he spoke, but was stopped by the coachman.

"Hey, don't go, the villagers in this small mountain village are afraid of life, you go with such a big man, in case you scare people again!"

"Oh, thank you then," Han Lingxiao hurriedly nodded in thanks, "I'll treat you to a cake when you come back." ”

"Ah, well, well!" said the coachman, who rudely picked up the mule and walked towards the little mountain village, and the mule wailed twice and went away reluctantly.

Han Lingxiao looked at it reluctantly, but after thinking about it, this is fine, after all, the journey is too long, and if the mule really falls ill, he will have to find a doctor to treat it.

***************

Lan Lan looked at the steaming donkey meat on the table, and felt sick to her stomach, she didn't know why the soldier next to her ate so deliciously.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you eat this first to satisfy your hunger, and then you will arrive at Linglan City, the capital of Yu Kingdom. The guard on the side said with some embarrassment.

"How can you let the princess eat such a thing! It's still in such a small mountain village!" a little maid beside the princess complained dissatisfiedly, "Your Highness, this country of Yu also looks down on people too much! Although our country is not as strong as theirs, it is also a big country, and you are also an upright princess, why don't you come here to visit them and don't come out to greet them, it's really annoying!"

"Xiao Ling, I can see through it now, like Yu Guo, who looks down on other countries because of his strong country, we don't have to have a deep friendship with it!"

"That's right, although you were ordered by His Majesty to ally with the Yuguo army this time, but with their attitude, they didn't take us seriously at all, princess, I think we should go back, don't humiliate ourselves here!"

As he was talking, he suddenly saw a commotion in the jungle not far away, followed by a strange scream, and then more than a hundred bandits armed with machetes jumped out, and they rushed towards them in a black and oppressive manner. The owner of the donkey meat shop rushed out of the shop when he heard the sound, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he threw down his knife in fright, and shouted desperately to the village with his head in his hands: "The bandits are coming!"

Then he rushed to the village, shouting as he ran: "Run, everyone!

"There are enemies! protect the princess!"

Hearing the news, the personal guards beside the princess immediately got up and took up their weapons, blocking the princess behind and preparing to meet the enemy.

***************

It is said that the coachman had just led the black mule halfway up the mountain, when he suddenly saw a group of thugs rushing out of the jungle and heading straight for the small village at the foot of the mountain.

"Get in the car, everyone, get in the car! We're leaving!" the driver shouted to the crowd from afar, "The bandits are coming!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they scrambled to climb towards the car, and the tea farmer also changed his face instantly after hearing this, and he was busy cleaning up his small stall.

"Hey, big brother coachman, where's my mule?" Han Lingxiao couldn't help but be a little suspicious when he saw that he had come back so soon.

"Hey, hey, I'm dying, who's going to care about your mule!" the coachman got into the carriage panting and picked up the whip, "I said you can't get on it, I'll tell you first, I want seven hundred silver coins to Tianhuang City......"

"I'll save my mule!" he said, and ran towards the entrance of the village without looking back.

"What a fucking idiot!" the coachman scolded and whipped up the carriage as he looked at his back, "Poor bastard!

Han Lingxiao saw his black mule halfway up the mountain, he breathed a long sigh of relief, he stroked the black mule's hair with pity, the black mule also rubbed on him affectionately when he saw him, and he looked up again and saw the gang of bandits that the coachman said just now, they had entered the village, the village was burning with fire, and there were screams of women and children and the cries of children.

"Alas, old mule, old mule, I have more than enough heart, and I am alone, and there are too many of them, and I am alone, and you are of no use...... If you're a really good horse, I'll probably be able to fight them on your horse......"

At this time, the screams of the villagers and the rampant laughter of the gangsters were heard in the village. Han Lingxiao suddenly clenched his fists.

"Forget it, I can't stand idly by even if I die here today! so many years of hard work are not in vain!" he said as he left the black mule and ran to the village on his own.

As he was running, the ground under his feet suddenly trembled slightly, Han Lingxiao thought that he was running too fast to hallucinate, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But a huge dark cloud suddenly gathered in the sky, and the sky instantly darkened, as if a violent storm was about to fall, and he began to feel that something was not right. There was another thunderous roar behind him, like the roar of a wild horse, and the whole earth trembled.

Han Lingxiao turned around abruptly but saw a black shadow coming straight towards him, and he was instantly hunched onto a huge object, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that he was riding the old black mule just now, but its hair was even more black and thick, and there was a golden light shining between the ends of its hair, it was as strong and powerful as a young horse, and its physical strength and speed were even better than any tall stallion he had ever seen!

Although he did not know what the situation was, seeing that the situation was favorable to him, he rode down the foot of the mountain on a black mule and rushed into the mountain village.
