Chapter Forty-Seven: The Bandit Siege
"What? It's just a little thief, nothing will happen, right? ”
Seeing that Lin Yi was so alarmed, his face was full of worry and anxiety, Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise.
Lin Yi glanced at him and didn't speak.
Zhao Rong is the chief dart head of the Longmen Dart Bureau, and he is also a person from the Huashan Upper Courtyard, and he is a second-rate master, and he has a great reputation in the rivers and lakes. Naturally, he didn't care about the little thief at all.
But Lin Yi knew very well in his heart how weak the Lin family's ability to face the thieves was, and it could be said that they had no power to resist. Even if Lin Zhihu goes back, I'm afraid it won't be useful, at most, it will be on the face of the Longmen Dart Bureau, just give more time.
This is still the usual situation.
Now the situation has changed, and the era of chaotic warfare has arrived.
Most people don't realize what this means, but Lin Yi knows it very well.
I have personally experienced that era in the game, and I know too well the tragedy of that era. Countless civilians have been killed and displaced. Countless small sects and family forces were tragically wiped out.
It's a big troubled time!
There are many thieves and ruthless hearts.
If it doesn't go well, the butcher will be wiped out.
At this moment, the Lin family encountered the most critical moment.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't stay any longer, and hurriedly said goodbye despite Zhao Rong's enthusiasm to stay.
If it was in normal times, Lin Yi would naturally value Zhao Rong's retention and establish a friendship with him. It is of great help to establish friendship with the head of the Longmen Dart Bureau and compete for the position of Huashan in the future.
However, at this moment, there is a problem at home, and it is a desperate situation.
When faced with a choice between the chief position and the life of his family, Lin Yi chose the latter.
He doesn't regret his choice.
As the chief disciple, he can also find other ways to work hard, and the relationship with Zhao Rong can also be made up. But the family only has one life. Lost, there will never be more.
Although he has no feelings, he has the responsibility to protect the Lin family.
Either way, he has to take his responsibility.
Otherwise, this incident will always be a regret in his heart and a demon in his heart.
In his martial arts heart, there will be cracks.
It's hard to be satisfied.
Besides, his martial arts is to protect everything he should protect.
Walk out of the Longmen Dart Bureau, ride on a white horse, whip up the horse, and run out of Leizhou City.
"Sure, sure!"
Lin Yi slapped the white horse desperately, kept the fastest speed, and rushed home, thinking anxiously in his heart
Lin Zhuang.
The entire Lin family's mansion was surrounded by dozens of mountain bandits riding big horses and carrying big knives.
The sword light flashed, and the cold light made people tremble.
The farmers in Linzhuang closed their doors one after another, not daring to look at them, covering their children's mouths, for fear that the children's fearful cries would arouse the attention of this group of mountain bandits.
"Oh my God, what kind of evil is this god doing, the forester is a foreigner, half a year ago, he recruited bandits and tied his son up the mountain. It's not easy to get through this difficulty, and now the days haven't been stable, and the mountain bandits have been recruited again. And it's even more terrifying than the last time, how hard and difficult this forester is really to live in! ”
"It's not the silver to make trouble, the forester has 10,000 acres of fertile land, and he is the richest man in our Yucheng, can he not recruit bandits?"
"In this world, I can't live it! I heard that almost all the rich families within a radius of 100 miles were summoned by the mountain bandits to give them 50,000 taels of silver. The Wang family in the next city was destroyed by this group of mountain bandits because they didn't get it together on time a few days ago. The whole family, more than 200 people, none of them stayed, and all of them were burned by a fire. That scene was simply so miserable that it scared people to the point of trembling! ”
"Don't say it, don't say it, even if I hear you, I'm scared! This damn world, this damn mountain bandits, why is there no one to take care of them? ”
"Tube? Can the government control these Jianghu people? Even if it is a famous faction behind the government, now all of his energy is involved in the Demon Sect, and he can't spare any energy to take care of these things at all. Moreover, it is said that the withdrawal of people from famous families in many places has caused many forces in the rivers and lakes to compete for the remaining territory. That's called chaos, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a river of blood! ”
"Hey, this damn demon sect, isn't it good to live a peaceful life? I just want to make trouble, and I have found a chance for these mountain bandits! I don't know how to get through this difficult time for the forester's family this time. ”
"It's difficult, 50,000 taels of silver, this is not a small amount. Even if the forester's family has so much property, how can the mountain bandits make up enough for such a few days? ”
The peasant households hid in their homes, whispering, and their faces showed worry and horror.
In the hall of the Lin family, the people under the ring were silent, hiding in the corner and shivering.
Lin Zhilong trembled and held the teacup, and the tea continued to swing out due to the vibration of his trembling hands.
After taking a small sip of tea with difficulty, Lin Zhilong sighed with a sad face.
Mrs. Lin on the side, her face was pale, her face was full of fear, she cried in a low voice, and kept wiping her tears.
"Cry, know cry! What's the use of crying? ”
Seeing Mrs. Lin like this, Lin Zhilong's face was full of anger, pointing at his nose and scolding angrily.
"What can I do, sir? We can't afford 50,000 pieces of silver! Mrs. Lin was crying and her face was sad, and her face was pale.
"Hey, 50,000 silver, these mountain bandits are really lions! How do you get it together in just a few days? What's going on in this world? First, Yi'er was kidnapped, and now she is bullying her to blackmail. Why is there no one to rule this group of hateful mountain bandits? Lin Zhilong kept sighing, his heart was sad and desperate.
The 50,000 silver that the mountain bandits wanted, in a short period of time, he couldn't take it out at all!
looked at Lin Zhihu, who was sitting on the side, and shouted, "Second brother, you come up with an idea, how to get through this difficulty?" ”
Lin Zhihu's face was also very ugly, even helpless, and his voice was hoarse: "Big brother, I can't do anything else." This group of mountain bandits is outlaws at first glance, and even if they take out the name of the Dragon Gate Dart Bureau, it is not easy to use. They made up their minds that we would come up with 50,000 taels of silver! ”
"If you can't see the silver, these bandits will break in and find it themselves! A few days ago, the Wang family in the next city was wiped out by this group of mountain bandits because they couldn't get the silver, and none of them were left, and they were all burned alive! ”
Lin Zhilong's face turned pale, and he had no idea at all.
There was despair in my heart.
Now that I think about it, if Yi'er had been sent to Huashan to practice martial arts in the early years, I am afraid that he would have been able to rely on Yi'er's reputation as a disciple of Huashan to deter these mountain bandits.
However, Yi'er has only been in Huashan for half a year now!
What can you learn in half a year?
How can it be the opponent of this group of fierce and vicious mountain bandits?
Regrets, endless regrets!
Regret shouldn't have been!
If so, it would be great to be able to send Yi'er to Huashan as soon as possible!
Lin Zhihu on the side was also desperate.
With his eyesight, he naturally saw the strength of this group of mountain bandits.
Dozens of mountain bandits, even the weakest minions, are about the same strength as him, not to mention, the two leaders who came!
If he didn't guess wrong, those two leaders were likely to be third-rate masters who had practiced internal skills.
Those who have practiced internal skills!
Ten of them went up, and they were no match for any one man.
Lin Zhihu's heart was cold.
"Master, the mountain bandits have called the door!" A man trembled and walked in, and said with a look of horror on his face.
"Let's talk and see if we can give these bandits a few days of relief." Lin Zhilong stood up, sighed, and took the lead to walk out of the hall
At the gate, two bandit leaders rode green horses and stood at the door.
"Three masters, do you think this Lin family can come out with 50,000 taels of silver?" One of them, holding a horsewhip, pointed to the Lin family's compound and said.
The third master was full of flattery, and said with a smile: "Seventh master, whether this Lin family can take it out or not, don't we all have to go in and raid the house?" Hehe, the Lin family has 10,000 acres of fertile land, and the family property must be very rich. ”
The seventh master was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, pointed to the face of the three masters, and laughed: "Haha, the three masters still understand me!" staring at the Lin family's compound with fierce eyes, he shouted viciously: "Wait until you break in, everything in here belongs to me!" ”
The third master wiped the sweat from his forehead, and served this seventh master, which really made him not easy, nodded and smiled: "I also heard that this Mrs. Lin family is a rare beauty, and she was famous for her beauty back then. Although I have given birth to a child now, and I am in my thirties, I maintain my figure very well, my skin is as delicate as a girl, and what is even better is that I have a little more mature charm than a girl. ”
The seventh master's eyes lit up when he heard this, his crimson tongue stretched out, and he licked his lips: "Master, my favorite is the young woman, haha, the young woman is delicious enough, much more flavorful than those girls!" Stay for a while, let's break the Lin family, this Mrs. Lin belongs to me. What a girl, it's all yours! ”
The third master was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Seventh Master!" ”
At a glance, dozens of mountain bandits were on the horses, full of silver, and the seventh master nodded and smiled: "This trip out, the harvest is quite a lot." After breaking this Lin family, let's call it a day! The brothers are also tired, besides, the eldest brother in the village is also waiting for me, right? ”
"Not tired, not tired! Follow the seventh master out, this day is comfortable! The three masters hurriedly shook their heads, but nodded approvingly in their hearts. This seventh master really regards wealth as his life, and as soon as he entered the village, he pulled him and took his brothers straight to the rich family within a radius of 100 miles.
First, he bowed down and said that each family would give 50,000 taels of silver, and take it after seven days.
Seven days later, he was purely moody.
When the mood is good, the rich who can take out the silver will let it go. When you are in a bad mood, hehe, even if the rich give money, you have to destroy people, play all the women's dependents, and then kill them all.
The degree of ruthlessness made the three masters who were mountain bandits frightened.
Secret Dao, no wonder it is a person from the Demon Sect, who acts so unscrupulously and ruthlessly.
Compared with his six elder brothers, this seventh master is more than a real bandit like him!
"Guys, listen to what Xiao Ke has to say!"
At this time, a person appeared on the wall of the Lin family and shouted loudly.
It was Lin Zhilong.
