Chapter 118: Arrived as scheduled
The disciple at the head shook his head and said with a resolute expression: "The sect leader personally appointed ten of us to come here just to protect the safety of Gongzi Wen. ”
"This battle is bound to be extremely fierce, although you are highly skilled, but under the flying arrows and stones in the sky, it is bound to be extremely dangerous."
"The ten of us have the Holy Order of the Sect Master, so there is no reason to retreat from the battle, as long as we can protect you from danger, why die?"
Wen Xuan suddenly stopped after hearing what they said, because he suddenly thought of his past life because of this.
If these disciples of the Discipline Hall wanted to sacrifice their lives to kill a few more Yuan soldiers, Wen Xuan could understand, accept, and fulfill their wish to die.
But how ridiculous is it to lose your life and abandon your family because of a casual order?
Wen Xuan himself was once a killing tool and humanoid puppet who only had loyalty in his head and forgot even the meaning of life.
Wen Xuan now knows the meaning of life better than anyone else, so he will never tolerate this seemingly righteous act of foolishness!
Wen Xuan, who clenched his fists, suddenly pulled out the Holy Flame Order from the sleeve of his left hand and decisively pressed the mechanism.
As the three-foot soft sword came out in response, the bag was also thrown into the sky!
The naked eyes of the ten Discipline Hall disciples could not see clearly how many times the angry Wen Xuan swung the soft sword at this moment......
It was only after hearing the sound of metal humming from the bending and shaking of the blade that he saw a shackle cut into pieces and a cloud of paper flying on the ground.
Then Wen Xuan's low and cold voice came from his ears:
"Loyalty is not a mistake, but loyalty is pedantic that is never advisable!"
"The Holy Fire Order is here, I want you to remember it for me!"
"There is no one in this world who can let you die for no reason, let alone me Wenxuan, even if it is the sect leader, or the Ming King and Maitreya who you worship as gods and worship day and night!"
"Go back to Brother Mu, and it is your duty to answer me with him."
"As for what you want to say to your family, you can leave your life and go back and tell your family in person."
After Wen Xuan said these words with his back to everyone, he slowly put away the Holy Flame Order and continued to walk towards Wanhe Village alone.
The ten disciples of the Discipline Hall behind him knelt together, and after a brief moment of astonishment, faint whimpering and crying could be heard......
Wanhe Village is located in the east of Taizhou, a small village near the coast.
The reason why Wen Xuan set the battlefield here after the exploration was because this village was sparsely populated, and it had been looted once by Cai Lantou and the pirates, so it could minimize innocent casualties.
After the ravages of the pirates, only a few families remained in the village for a long time, and the unused houses became places for caravans and fishermen to rest and stay.
Where there are people, there is demand, and where there is demand, there are business opportunities, so uninhabited houses are gradually turned into small shops such as wine shops and tea stalls to support families.
Looking at the tea stall was a white-haired old man, Wen Xuan saw it and didn't think of his father who was far away in the mountains, so he stepped over.
"Uncle, I came from western Zhejiang to go to the sea to do business, yesterday I met a group of thieves who robbed me of all the silver and wealth, and now I am penniless, I don't know if I can ask for saliva from you?"
Lao Suo was sitting under the pillar of the tea stall and closing his eyes and napping, and after hearing Wen Xuan's voice, he rubbed his swollen eyes, opened his cloudy eyes and looked at Wen Xuan from head to toe.
Seeing that Wen Xuan was wearing a green shirt, not like a hungry person fleeing the famine, he raised his chin at the teapot on the table, "There is water in the pot, pour it yourself, just drink a full drink." ”
Wen Xuan smiled, thanked the old man, and poured a big bowl of water by himself.
"Uncle, I heard that this Wanhe Village was also looted by the pirates?"
Lao Suo scratched his nose and said indignantly: "Why not Wanhe Village? Which of the dozen or so villages along the coast of Taizhou has not been poisoned by pirates? ”
Wen Xuan put down the tea bowl and asked curiously: "Then you are still setting up a tea stall here, so you are not afraid that Haikou will come again?" ”
"Afraid? My old woman was not afraid when she was killed by the pirates, but now she is not afraid, if that gang of gangsters dares to come again, I will give up this old life to pull a cushion! Besides, I am alone, if I don't rely on this livelihood to survive, how can I live? ”
After Lao Suo finished speaking, he looked at Wen Xuan in confusion and asked, "Since you were blocked by gangsters and robbed of money, you should turn back to the official by the same way, why do you come to this remote place?" ”
"Don't hide it from the old man, I want to wait for someone in this Wanhe Village, if the old man can kindly take me in for two nights, I will thank me with a lot of money after I see my friends."
Lao Suo hesitated for a long time and sighed: "That's it! Seeing that you don't look like a casual liar, I will believe you once and follow me. ”
Xiao Er from the wine shop next to him saw it, rolled his eyes and said, "Old Li Tou, you are also an old man, haven't you suffered enough of such a loss?" Which poor boy didn't run away after you had enough to eat and drink at your house, and I don't have a long memory! ”
Lao Suo ignored him, just glanced at him lightly, and still led Wen Xuan back to his dilapidated house, and did not forget to take out a piece of vegetable cake and hand it to Wen Xuan.
"Uncle Li is really a good person with a good heart." Wen Xuan smiled and thanked him.
Lao Su seemed to be commonplace, and he didn't respond, so he pushed open the door and stepped back to the tea stall.
After Wen Xuan finished eating the vegetable cakes, he went around the village, and after confirming that the situation in the village was not the same as the previous investigation, he hid in Lao Suo's house and did not go out anymore, and only ate some vegetable cakes that had been rancid overnight every day.
Until the afternoon of the third day.
Suddenly there was a lot of noise at the entrance of the village, and there was even the sound of horses neighing, and Wen Xuan pushed open the door again.
Under Wen Xuan's instructions, the caravan sent by Shen Fu was extremely large, and the guards who accompanied the team alone hired more than 20 people, and the carriage carried dozens of heavy boxes.
Mo said that he deliberately released rumors along the way that the caravan was transporting heavy treasures, even ordinary people could see that the caravan was full of valuable treasures.
Although Wanhe Village is located on a major road, there are often caravans doing maritime business passing by on weekdays, but it is the first time that it has encountered such a large scale.
When Xiao Er and the shopkeeper in the village wine shop and inn heard that such a big business came to the door, they rushed up to be courteous, wanting to pull people to their own shops.
The old man of the tea stall didn't want to miss such an opportunity, but after trying to squeeze forward a few times, he gave up, so he had to go back to his tea stall and sit down, muttering dissatisfiedly, "If Lao Tzu is ten years younger, it will be your turn to grab business here?" ”
