Chapter 9: Border Cities
In the north of Taihang Mountain, three hundred miles away, there is a unique scenery of Biansai, although it cannot be compared with the flowers of the Central Plains, it seems a little monotonous, but there is no sense of slaughter and vastness.
In the sky, a bright moon hung high, and the hazy moonlight was like a thin veil, enveloping the entire earth.
On the vast earth, faintly, you can see a black horse galloping on the vast field, it is Lu Bu, the crotch horse, is specially selected from the Pegasus Ranch a black-patterned horse, although not as good as the wind chasing horse, but can also be said to travel five hundred miles, it can be regarded as a rare good horse.
Now, Lu Bu is close to the border, if it is divided according to the forces, this belongs to the territory of the Li family in Taiyuan, but now, the Li family and the Turks are in the honeymoon period, and most of their energy is concentrated in the Guanlong area, so that the original foundation of the place, the garrison is pitiful.
Lu Bu doesn't know where he is going, but he keeps riding a horse, born and raised in Biansai, here, there are too many memories of him.
How many years has it been since he went south to the Central Plains with Ding Yuan? Over the years, whether in the past life or in this life, there has been no return, although time has long since passed, although this is another illusory world, but some things will not change with the passage of time, the current situation or even the changes of space.
Ever since he stepped into this area and felt the fierce side plug style, Lu Bu felt that in the depths of his soul, it was as if something had been reborn.
The greedy breather was not particularly comfortable, but there was a smell of air that was not found anywhere else, and he felt the wind whistling in his ears, which was also unique to Biansai, and could never be found anywhere else.
In the morning, the red sun hangs in the east, and the warm light shines on the boundless grasslands.
"Sigh law~" The black-veined horse raised its front hooves high, and the hooves of the big bowl were flying all over the sky with the tender grass on the ground.
"Players?" Lu Bu frowned slightly, looking at the gatekeeper at the checkpoint in front of him, and had some doubts in his heart, because Li Tang's center of influence gradually shifted to Chang'an, and the players on the side of Bingzhou became scarce, of course, there are also many players in some big cities such as Taiyuan and Hanoi, but in this stuffed place, how can there be people to take on this kind of gatekeeping task with no oil and water?
The gatekeeper task, as the name suggests, is to accept the employment of some NPC forces to help the NPC forces guard the city gate as large as the city gate, and the gatekeeping task is not bad, not only with merit and contribution, but also a lot of experience and potential points and a small amount of money rewards.
The higher the level of the city and the higher the prosperity of the city, the richer the rewards for defending the city, but the border city in front of you is only a fourth-level city if it is a border city, and this is because it is a border city, the city wall is relatively strong, otherwise I am afraid it will not be rated as a fourth-level, such a small city, even if it is full, it is only tens of thousands.
Moreover, in the border fortress, from time to time will face the harassment of foreign races, although now Li Tang and the Turks are still in the honeymoon period, but these foreign people will still start to loot when there is a shortage of food, the power of the outsiders is generally strong, especially after the formation of horse thieves, although after killing, the reward is not low, but if you die once, the benefits you get are not enough to die once death punishment.
"Stop! What the hell!? Just thinking about it, Lu Bu had already come to the level, and a trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the two players, but their hands and feet were not slow, and they blocked Lu Bu with their weapons horizontally.
They can't tell whether Lu Bu is a player or an NPC, although Lu Bu's appearance has changed, but with a fierce momentum, firm and sharp gaze, falling on people's faces, it can make people feel a sense of palpitations, with such momentum, he is undoubtedly a master.
Generally speaking, although in the game, players and NPCs cannot be distinguished from their appearance, but there are always some subtle differences, and there are differences between people more than a thousand years ago and people more than a thousand years later, in terms of temperament and drinking habits, but they can't tell whether the person in front of them is a player or an NPC.
"You're a gamer?" A slightly thin player looked at Lu Bu and asked tentatively.
"No, I'm an NPC!" Lu Bu said indifferently, and then ignored the two of them riding into the city, and the two unconsciously removed their weapons and let Lu Bu pass.
"Fortunately, he is an NPC, not a player......" The player who asked at the exit seemed to be relieved, patted his chest, they are guarding the door here, just to prevent players from mixing in, but, just halfway through the words, his face froze, and he looked back at Lu Bu with an angry face, and said angrily: "Bastard, play me!" ”
Is there an NPC that will claim to be an NPC on its own? Even they didn't know the term NPC, and the person in front of him was obviously a master among players, if it was usual, he would not be so slow to react, but he was intimidated by Lu Bu's momentum just now, and when Lu Bu spoke, even if it was unintentional, it would bring a trace of mental power, which made people inadvertently think about the problem with their own words, so they were misled.
"He's a player, stop him!" The player glared at Lu Bu with some annoyance and anger, and shouted sharply, and at the same time, he also rushed up and slashed at Lu Bu.
What if you're strong? The strong dragon didn't suppress the head snake, thinking of Lu Bu's very simple lie just now, he shook him over, his face didn't feel hot, and his heart was even more ashamed.
"I can't help myself!" Lu Bu glanced at the player, waved his hand, and stabbed a spear head-on, but he flicked it, and the player with the gun only felt a strange force, and his spear involuntarily stabbed into the air.
"Puff~"
"Uh......" The player who pounced from behind looked at the spear that had not entered his chest in disbelief, looked at the player with the gun in front of him in surprise, his spirit was shocked, and the next moment, he appeared in the teleportation array in a daze.
"Click~"
Before the gun-wielding player could react from the shock, his steel-clawed hand grabbed his neck, and an unforged force surged, and the whole head was pulled out of the cavity alive.
"Puff~"
The pillar of blood that rushed to the sky splashed up, spraying more than a foot high, and many people who were close to it were splashed a lot, but Lu Bu was so close to the player, but he didn't splash the slightest blood, and those blood beads, as if they had eyes, took the initiative to avoid Lu Bu.
The surrounding players, looking at Lu Bu's eyes suddenly changed, death is not terrible for players, but such a terrifying method of death, but it is really beyond the psychological bottom line accepted by modern people, a human head, pulled from the living alive, not to mention the pain I endured, even for the people around who were originally ready to come to help, can also cause a huge psychological shadow.
"Who are you? Someone who dares to kill us Tiger Roar Gang!? A player whose cultivation realm was at least third-rate, looked at Lu Bu with an unkind gaze, and asked in a deep voice.
"The Tiger Roar?" Lu Bu couldn't help but be stunned, this name is very familiar, but I don't know where I have heard it, the strength has reached the level of Lu Bu, while the physical potential is developed, the brain domain will also be gradually developed, and the memory will be greatly increased, and it is a bit exaggerated to remember it, but as long as you have seen the people, you will have some impressions.
"Humph!" Looking at Lu Bu for a moment, the player obviously misunderstood Lu Bu's meaning and thought that Lu Bu was afraid of the prestige of the Tiger Roar Gang, and couldn't help but show a sneer on his face, what about the master, this kind of master who knows at a glance that he is a lone ranger, and he is always helpless in the face of a large gang like the Tiger Roar Gang.
This Tiger Roar Gang, it was the original Yangzhou, the Tiger Roaring Sky built a gang, under the Dragon Mountain, the city that was finally established was broken by Lu Bu's troops, the Tiger Roar Gang lost its foundation in Yangzhou, this Tiger Roar is also counted, the sword went sideways, it took a year to catch the Turkic line, and re-emerged in an alternative way.
Players look at this racial concept in the game very lightly, after all, in reality, whether it is Turkic or Iron, in fact, they are all part of the Chinese nation, so taking refuge in the Turks, in their opinion, is not a big deal, but it will cause the Central Plains NPC's plan.
In this Xinjiang area, the Tiger Roar Gang is one step ahead, almost monopolizing all the tasks issued by the Turks, of course, they will not care about some idle players accepting Turkic tasks, after all, the resources are huge, and the Tiger Roar also knows that it is rare to want to completely monopolize it, they only need to occupy a dominant position in the Turkic camp.
It's just that this time, the task released by the Turks was too tempting, so the tiger roared and ordered to refuse any player to come and grab their mission, but who knew that he met Lu Bu who ran to the side of the fortress in disguise.
"What about killing?" Just for a moment, the expression on Lu Bu's face returned to indifference, the Tiger Roar Gang may be a great force in the eyes of players, but in Lu Bu's role in Huainan and Jiangdong, who has already become a hegemon, the Tiger Roar Gang is just a small role, and it can't make him pay attention to it.
"You ......" The player's eyes were cold, in this area, the Tiger Roar Gang is the Earth Emperor, that is, the top ten advanced first-class or even super-first-class players among the players are here, and they have to be coiled, who would have thought that this inexplicable player would dare to directly call them out, which made him very annoyed.
"Fuck off! Get out of the way! Lu Bu didn't bother to pay attention to the small role of a third-rate martial artist, a third-rate martial artist, in Lu Bu's power, Lu Bu could pull out thousands of people.
"How daring!" This player's eyes suddenly became cold, and with a wave of his big hand, dozens of people rushed behind him in an instant, although he didn't know what the strength of the person in front of him was, but the compelling momentum made him feel cold in his heart, and he didn't think about making a move with Lu Bu at all, if it weren't for Lu Bu's words being too rushing, he wouldn't even want to conflict with Lu Bu, but now he is riding a tiger, if he doesn't take Lu Bu, how will he serve the public in the future.
