Chapter 4: Little Marquis
Looking at the three corpses on the ground and the luxurious clothes on their bodies, Tang Xiao knew that if he didn't deal with these three corpses well, he would definitely leave a lot of trouble for himself in this world in the future.
After searching the corpse again, there was not much to gain, but Xu Ming and Huang Quan also had the kind of glowing gourd pendant hanging on their belts. Xu Ming even hung two, and it is very likely that one of them was the original Tang Xiao's.
It seems that this thing must be one of the more important things in this world, so let's keep it first.
Tang Xiao was worried about the tough inner armor on Xu Ming's body, so he peeled off his clothes. Sure enough, on the outside of Xu Ming's underwear, he wore a dark gold inner armor, which was extremely light in texture but felt extremely tough.
Although Tang Xiao still didn't know what the situation was in the world he was traversing, Tang Xiao could also figure out with his toes that this dark gold inner armor was definitely a good thing for self-defense.
It was this inner armor that blocked the dagger in Tang Xiao's hand from the fatal blow to Xu Ming's heart, otherwise Xu Ming would not have had the opportunity to use a second move against Tang Xiao at all.
Four small gourd pendants, an inner armor, and some broken silver, this is the first batch of trophies obtained by Tang Xiao after he crossed into this world, and was inexplicably hunted down, but relying on the experience of ten years of professional killer career, he killed the other party in the first batch of trophies.
Tang Xiao's hand hurt so badly that his entire right hand seemed to be numb, and he looked around, but found a deep pit dug by the three teenagers nearby. Perhaps in order to prevent Tang Xiao's body from being discovered, the pit they dug was more than three meters deep, and it was more than enough to bury three people in it.
With great effort, Tang Xiao dragged the three corpses to the deep pit and buried them, covering them with some weeds and leaves.
No matter what the identities of these three teenagers are, Tang Xiao, as a professional killer, certainly knows that after killing these three people, if he doesn't dispose of the corpses and find any clues, he will definitely be in big trouble in the future.
It was certainly not enough to just dig a deep pit and bury it, but that was all he could do with his weak body now.
Tang Xiao walked around, firmly remembered the nearby terrain features, if he had a chance in the future, he would return here to dispose of the corpse again, completely clean up all traces, and it was best that even the bones could not be found.
Looking at his luxurious clothes and ornaments, Tang Xiao guessed that the original owner of his new body was probably also a master who was either rich or noble. If this is the case, most of the elders in the family can be found to help deal with the aftermath of such a thing.
This kind of barren mountain place should not stay for a long time, so it is better to find a way to go down the mountain first, figure out your identity, and then make the next step.
Tang Xiao spent most of the hour going down the mountain, and there was only this one big road in Dongtai Mountain to go down the mountain. Because Dongtai Mountain belongs to a private mountain forest, the owner of the mountain forest built a sentry at the entrance of the mountain road, and there were five or six figures swaying in the sentry.
It took Tang Xiao a lot of effort to bypass those sentry guards guarding the mountain at the foot of the mountain, but it was not a difficult task for Tang Xiao, who had been a killer for a lifetime. He's just not as agile as he used to be, but his mind and experience aren't bad at all.
Leaving Dongtai Mountain, a small town appeared not far away, saying that it was a small town, but it was just a dozen low houses connected together, and it seemed to be some people. Tang Xiao killed three people on the mountain, and before the corpses were completely disposed of, he didn't want people to see that he had come to this mountain, so he found another way to bypass it far away.
After another half an hour of walking to avoid the crowd, the number of houses on the side of the road began to increase, and the road became lively. Some villagers in the mountains and wilderness were either carrying firewood or driving donkey carts on the road, and although occasionally someone would look at Tang Xiao, they did not pay special attention to him. In addition, this place is already a little far away from Dongtai Mountain, where the crime was committed, and Tang Xiao's heart slowly relaxed.
Walking all the way hungry and thirsty, Tang Xiao stopped at a lively three-way intersection, bought a bowl of tea, and when he sat down to rest, he deliberately pretended to be a foreigner and got lost, chatted with the old man who sold tea, but found out some information.
The continent under his feet can't actually be called a continent, it's just a huge island, called 'Obi Island', and all the people who live on 'Obi Island' are the people of the Daming Dynasty.
The Daming Dynasty used to be the ruler of the huge Kyushu continent in the northwest, but hundreds of years ago, the Manchurians in the northeast of the Kyushu continent invaded, destroyed the Daming Dynasty, and established the Damanchu Dynasty on the Kyushu continent. Millions of remnants of the Daming Dynasty followed in the footsteps of the former emperor to Obi Island, and rebuilt the Daming Dynasty on Obi Island.
Now Tang Xiao is at the three-way intersection, located outside the east gate of Taijing City, the mountain that Tang Xiao just came down is called Dongtai Mountain, which is about ten miles away from Taijing City.
As a human being, Tang Xiao immediately remembered a piece of ancient Chinese history based on this information.
Manchuria invaded, Wu Sangui led Qing troops into the customs, the Ming Dynasty fell, and some descendants of the Ming Dynasty retreated to Taiwan Island in an attempt to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty......
The experience of this Ming Dynasty seems to be very similar to the Ming Dynasty separatist forces that retreated to the island of Taiwan in history, but they are very different.
If the Ming Dynasty had survived on this island for hundreds of years, the Xinhai Revolution would have broken out, the Manchu government on the mainland of Kyushu would have been overthrown, and the whole world would have entered the high-tech era after the advent of computers. It's antique everywhere.
Hundreds of years...... After confirming with the old man who sold tea, Tang Xiao pinched his fingers and calculated, if it was counted from the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he really did not travel to ancient times, but was about the same era as his previous life.
Could it be that this is a parallel world?
Thinking about these things will only give people a headache, Tang Xiao decided not to continue thinking about it, one thing is for sure, this is not the world of Tang Xiao's previous life, let alone the ancient times of the previous world.
Taijing City is now the cultural and political center of Obi Island, and Tang Xiao guessed that his current identity is mostly the son of a noble family in Taijing City. If you want to figure out your identity and truly integrate into this world, you should go to Taijing City first.
After drinking the tea, Tang Xiao's swollen and sore right hand felt a lot better, and he gave the old man who sold tea a small piece of broken silver as a tea fee. The old man who sold tea was overjoyed, and after thanking him a thousand times, he heard that Tang Xiao was going to Taijing City, so he put down the tea stall and trotted all the way to a nearby family to help Tang Xiao call a carriage over.
Seeing the grateful eyes of the old man selling tea, Tang Xiao also grinned, he has been a wicked person for a lifetime, and now he feels good about being a good person once in a while.
After bidding farewell to the old man who sold tea, the carriage carried Tang Xiao all the way, and came to the east gate of Taijing City in less than half an hour. Tang Xiao didn't know his identity or where his home was, so he got out of the carriage outside the city gate.
Seeing that the soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp blades at the city gate did not check the people entering and leaving the city gate, Tang Xiao also walked towards Taijing City. As a modern person, it always feels a little strange to suddenly come to this world full of ancient style.
When you are alone, you don't feel it, but when you are surrounded by people, this feeling is obvious.
Everyone on both sides of the city gate went in and out, and the soldiers at the city gate didn't react, but when Tang Xiao walked over, the two soldiers at the city gate walked towards him together, and Tang Xiao couldn't help but secretly scream badly.
"Little Marquis, are you going out to play today?" The two soldiers greeted Tang Xiao very respectfully, they were very surprised that this little marquis had left the city without even bringing guards with him today, and he was very disheveled, as if he had fought in the mud...
