Chapter 51: Sin City!
Helenor's whole body shook when he heard this, and then he turned his head like lightning as if he couldn't believe his ears......
I saw a very simple carriage parked not far behind him, but I don't know when it appeared, the two tall horses seemed to be stimulated by the strong smell of blood here, and they were quite manic, and from time to time they used their hooves to dig the ground hard, but no matter how they struggled, they could never leave the place, because a pair of thin but powerful little hands were tightly pulling the horse's reins, and looking along these hands, a black and thin boy was looking at Helianor lying on the ground with a red face.
Helenno was so surprised that he almost cried out, but a strange feeling instantly blocked his throat, and even, this feeling even tightly restrained his heartbeat, and Helenno was almost out of breath with this feeling.
Yes, what was standing in front of Helenor was Sang Xiao who had gone and returned! At this moment, he was tightly pulling two desperately struggling horses, a thin little face was flushed red for I don't know if it was too hard or for other reasons, and a pair of big eyes seemed to dare not look directly at Helenor, and he had been dodging, but he couldn't help but look at him with concern.
Seeing this scene, Helian Nuo suddenly felt a warm in his chest, only to feel that a heavy stone in his heart disappeared in an instant, before he thought that this Sang Xiao was greedy for life and afraid of death and left him and Renault to escape alone, thinking that he was inexplicably cannon fodder Helian Nuo couldn't help but feel extremely uncomfortable in his heart, because he was swearing the ungrateful Sang Xiao in his heart while killing the enemy frantically, and he felt worthless for recklessly saving such a heartless person, who knew that just when he was about to despair of Sang Xiao, Sang Xiao miraculously appeared in front of him again, although it was a little late, but Helenor still felt extremely excited, after all, I didn't see the wrong person after all, after all, I wasn't betrayed after all!
Sang Xiao, who had been standing in place and didn't dare to step forward, couldn't see the joy and sorrow from Helianno's face, and secretly speculated in his heart that he only thought that the other party was still haunted by the disappearance of his suitable talent, and suddenly lowered his head in shame, and muttered in a volume that maybe even he couldn't hear clearly: " I'm sorry, I know that my kung fu is not as good as yours, and staying here won't make much difference, so I found an ownerless war horse and ran to a nearby farm, and used our remaining gold coins to buy a herd of bulls, poured fire oil on them, and set up a fire bull array and then came back to rescue you, fortunately I didn't make a mistake, otherwise...... Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to bear the shadow of self-blame for abandoning my friends for the rest of my life......"
Helian Nuo smiled noncommittally, but did not continue to pester Sang Xiaoshicai's actions, but said lightly: "Okay, no matter what, the three of us are still alive and well, this is the biggest good news!" It's just that this place is not a place to catch up with the past, we should not stay here for a long time, although Tuoba Tao is dead, but when the panic caused by the Fire Bull Array subsides, I am afraid that we will still be hunted down by Lanyue City again, after all, we killed their city lord, and the domineering Fire Bull Array also caused a lot of losses to the innocent people of the entire Lanyue City, so it is better for us to leave quickly and find a safe place to hide. ”
Sang Xiao said yes again and again, and hurriedly tied the reins in his hand tightly to the tree on the side of the road, and he carefully helped Heliano, who was already unable to move, into the carriage, and then went to help Lei Shuo, who was already unconscious, how could Lei Shuo's size be too huge, although he was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, but the weight was better than that of an adult, even if Sang Xiao had some soul refining skills, in the final analysis, he was still just a twelve or thirteen-year-old child with normal development but a little thin, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move Lei Shuo into the carriage, and in the end, the little wolf who had already jumped into the carriage and waited for departure couldn't stand it, and it jumped out of the car angrily, pushed the sweaty Sang Xiao aside, grabbed Lei Shuo's belt with his mouth, and easily jumped into the carriage.
Sang Xiao looked at the little wolf with a disdainful look helplessly, the latter had an indifferent expression, Helian Nuo gently patted the little wolf's head, and then said to Sang Xiao with a depressed face: "Don't care, don't talk about you, even my strength is far less than the little wolf, you also heard it, the movement in the city is no longer as chaotic as Shicai, presumably the fire bull array has been controlled, we must set off immediately, quickly find a safe place to recuperate." ”
Sang Xiao heard Heliano's urging but did not act immediately, but quickly pulled out his short sword as if he suddenly thought of something and ran towards Tuoba Tao's body, Helenor was puzzled, and when he looked back, he saw that Sang Xiao was using a short sword to cut off the head of Tuoba Tao, who had been dead for a long time, and then he took off Tuoba Tao's clothes and carefully wrapped the head, and after doing all this, Sang Xiao walked back and untied the reins and jumped into the front seat of the carriage, and turned back to Heliano with a puzzled face while driving: " I just remembered that there is a Meteorite City less than a hundred miles to the east of this Lanyue City, as far as I know, the city lord there and Tuoba Tao are quite disliked, Lanyue and Meteorite have always been mortal enemies, we might as well go there to avoid the limelight for a while, and as long as we take Tuoba Tao's head as a door-to-door salute, the city lord of Meteorite City will definitely treat us as guests and entertain us, and more importantly, we will no longer have to worry about Lanyue City's pursuit and killing when we get there!"
Helian Nuo nodded when he heard this, according to what Sang Xiao said, that Meteorite City is really the best place for his group to take refuge, but I hope that the pursuers of Lanyue City will not come too quickly.
Fortunately, Helenor's worries did not come true, for some reason the journey went quite smoothly, and it was quite strange to Sang Xiao, not only did they not see the pursuers of Lanyue City, but even ordinary merchants did not see one, a lonely carriage walking on the empty road seemed extremely quiet, for some reason, Helianor faintly felt that the party in Falling Star City might not be too smooth, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
While thinking about it, Sang Xiao, who was sitting in front, suddenly came back and said excitedly: "Brother Helian, the front is Falling Star City, we have arrived!"
In fact, Sang Xiao is twelve years old this year, two years earlier than the ten-year-old Helenor, but he said that his life was saved by Heleno, and he insisted on calling Helenor the eldest brother in gratitude.
Helian Nuo, who had always been uneasy, was interrupted by Sang Xiao's excited voice, rubbed the corners of his sour eyes and looked up, but saw an extremely tall city towering majestically, the city was full of arrow towers and military flags, and the soldiers of the brigade were patrolling back and forth in the city, and it seemed that the security was several times stricter than that of Lanyue City.
But Helianor soon discovered an extremely strange phenomenon, the city was so heavily guarded, but the city gate was empty and there was no protective equipment in sight, only two soldiers casually looked at the people entering and exiting with their blades, but they never stepped forward to investigate, and don't look at this place is only a hundred miles away from the commercial town of Lanyue City, but there is no trace of the prosperous situation of Lanyue City here, what is even more strange is that Helianor observed for a long time, but did not find that there was even one other person waiting to enter the city except his own group, and there were many people out of the city, but all of them looked quite ragged, coupled with the downcast look on their facesIt looks like a flock of flowers.
Could it be that this Meteorite City is the headquarters of the beggar gang? Helian Nuo just wanted to ask, but Sang Xiao, who was sitting in front, had already explained: "Brother Helian, are you wondering why this Meteorite City only sees people leaving but not people entering?" In fact, it is not surprising at all, Lanyue City and Meteorite City have been hostile to each other for generations, almost no merchants from Lanyue City dare to enter Meteorite City from the road of Lanyue City, we have chosen this path I am afraid that no one has walked it for a long time, as for why the people who go out of the city are extremely down, hehe, I am very clear about the catty here, don't look at the distance between this meteorite and Lanyue, in fact, these two cities have an extremely huge difference, Lanyue is an important commercial town, relying on the rapid development of the Demon Moon Forest, the wood of the whole country, medicinal materials, animal skins and other transactions are mostly carried out in Lanyue City, if Lanyue City is the world of merchants, then this Meteorite City is a paradise for the extremely rich, don't look at the people who come and go back and forth now are some ragged and down-and-out people, in fact, a few times forward, they are all huge rich!"
"What?", Helian Nuo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, turned his head to take a closer look, and sure enough, he found that the skin faintly exposed under the tattered clothes of those who went out of the city was extremely fair, and it was not like a flower child who slept in the open all day, obviously they were all pampered and well-behaved people, but why did they become the way they are?
Sang Xiao continued with emotion: "Actually, like me, they have experienced major changes in their lives in an instant, but I was victimized by traitors, but they are to blame, because they came to a place where they shouldn't come and did things they shouldn't do, because this Meteorite City also has a name, called the City of Sin!"
Sang Xiao's words made Heliannuo's heart ache sharply, did he suddenly change? How can I not be like this, just now I was the baby grandson of the family of the god of war, but in a blink of an eye I became a poor child in the forest, a majestic and kind grandfather was demoted from the god of the frost army to a traitorous minister in an instant, a loving and gentle mother was forced to commit suicide in the lake before she could hear her child scream, a wolf who had been with him for nine years and was more kind than his mother died in a vendetta in an instant, speaking of a bad fate, who can compare with himself?
