Chapter 489: Cottage
Goose City, stone city walls.
The county commander Ma Bangde was dressed in armor and paced restlessly back and forth on the city walls, surrounded by a circle of nervous and frightened officials and a small number of defenders.
Now that Siemens is going to pursue those white lotus demons,
If the Taoist priest returns triumphantly, it is better to say,
But if the plan fails,
even let the White Lotus Demon come to Goose City for the purpose of revenge...
Then they can only let these mortals take it first.
Ma Bond pinched his stiff and cold shoulders, this armor did not fit, it could not accommodate his already out-of-shape figure, and it was quite twisted on his body,
Coupled with the biting cold wind blowing from the heights, the hunger feeling of the waist and abdomen squirming,
It made Marbond almost think he was back in the dream world.
"You go down there and get some broth and give it to everyone."
Ma Xian Ling whispered an order to the official beside him, and sighed imperceptibly.
For one official, protect one people,
Many people only say that the White Lotus Sect is a holy religion that saves suffering and alleviates sentient beings.
But I don't know what the White Lotus Sect is best at is hiding in the shadows to incite fools and fools, break through the county government, cooperate with the displaced people, loot the city, burn and loot, and harm one party.
In the end, all the blame is shifted to the rebels, and they can also come forward to comfort and save the suffering people and buy people's hearts.
Ma Bond, as the county magistrate, can't let Goose City follow in the footsteps of those destroyed counties no matter what.
He had already distributed the weapons in the Wudewei armory to the officers and soldiers defending the city.
I hope that when the White Lotus Demon comes, he will be able to scare them off with magic weapons, strong city walls, and a large number of people...
"Look, sir!"
A man with a torch flashed in his eyes and pointed to a dark corner outside the city gates.
Ma Bond squinted and saw a Taoist dressed in black as if he was strolling leisurely, walking out of the dark jungle and coming to the gate of Goose City.
It was Leon.
"Siemens is back?"
Ma Bond was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly ordered: "Open the city gate quickly.... No, wait, the gates remain closed, put a hanging basket down from the walls. ”
The White Lotus Sect is full of tricks, and some of them are demons who are good at disguise and change, so they can't be guarded against.
The hanging basket was put down from the city wall by the officers and soldiers, and before he could lose half of it, Li Ang buckled the crack in the wall with his fingers, kicked the soles of his feet on the outside of the city wall a few times, and easily went up to the top of the city wall.
Ignoring the officers and soldiers defending the city who were like facing a great enemy, he arched his hand towards Ma Bangde, and said with a smile: "Ma Xian Ling can sleep peacefully tonight,
Those few White Lotus demons were hit by the palm thunder of the poor road, and all of them were seriously injured, and they fled in a hurry, and they should not come to attack Goose City in a short time. ”
"That's great."
Ma Bangde finally breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted to ask the Siemens Daoist, who are those prison robbers from the White Lotus Sect, so that he can explain to the Wude guards who will arrive tomorrow.
But the words came to his lips and he swallowed them back.
The White Lotus Sect is extremely corrosive to the imperial court, maybe at this moment, on this city tower, there are followers of the White Lotus Sect lurking.
Siemens Daoist is very likely to have killed one or several White Lotus demons, but it was only out of some consideration that he said that he was repelled.
And looking at the appearance of the Taoist chief, it seems that he doesn't want to get entangled with Wu Dewei...
"Okay, since the Wude guards will be able to arrive in Goose City tomorrow, there will be nothing to do with the poor road, so don't leave it at that."
With a wave of his sleeves, Li Ang's body jumped up, stepped on the outside of the city wall, went down to the city gate, and strode into the dark night.
————————
Far away, in the mountains.
Two figures, a man and a woman, ran wildly through the narrow mountain road, the man carrying a large sword bare-chested, and the woman with a luxurious fur and a soft sword belt around her waist.
It is a leaf green and a pit python.
The two climbed the hill and came to the front of a cottage set up in a cave.
The cottage was brightly lit, and the young thief squatting on the arrow tower saw the figure of a leaf green and a pit python by the torches inserted on both sides of the mountain road, his face was happy, his two fingers were ringed, and he stretched out his mouth and whistled.
"The big boss is back!"
The cottage suddenly became lively, and several of the leading thieves under the two of them got up and brought people to greet them, shouting for warmth, and welcoming Yiye Qing and the owl python into the cave.
"Where's my son?"
The pit python sat on the tiger skin seat in the cave, his face stiffened, and asked his subordinates coldly.
The son he said was a child adopted by his wife Yiyeqing for fun, raised for three or two years, and slowly developed feelings, if Yiyeqing can't give birth to a child in the future, maybe let him inherit this cottage.
"Back to the big master, the young master has already slept."
The pit python nodded, and said expressionlessly: "Call him up, and everyone in the cottage, call him in." I have something important to announce. ”
The little bandit leaders jumped in their hearts, looked at each other, and couldn't hide their excitement in their hearts.
They have long heard that the big boss and the second boss have the background of the White Lotus Sect, if the thing that the pit python said today is to join the White Lotus Sect,
That's much better than staying in the mountains and old forests to block the road and rob the house.
The bandits didn't dare to slack off, and soon handed over everyone, including the adopted son who was usually regarded as his own by Yiye Qing.
The pit python and Yiye Qing sat on the tiger skin chair and glanced at all the thieves in the cave, "Are they all here?" ”
"Back to the big boss, all the dishes have arrived, and the cooks have arrived. Only the hostages who were kidnapped a few days ago are still locked up in the prison in the back mountain. ”
"Good."
The pit python's gaze finally focused on the fifteen-year-old son, who had grown a shallow beard, and said hoarsely: "Ten days ago, you went down the mountain to plunder, robbed a woman and went up the mountain, and demanded ransom from her family.
His parents went bankrupt and borrowed money from relatives in the neighborhood to scrape together the ransom, only to find a mangled corpse hanging from a tree by the river.
Is there such a thing? ”
The young man touched his short hair a little uncertainly, his father and mother had already known about this matter, and they praised him for having the demeanor of two people at the beginning, why did he mention it again today.
However, the pit python is usually majestic and solemn, and does not smile,
He had no choice but to bow his head uprightly and said softly: "Yes, I see that the woman still has a few postures, and I wanted to tell my mother that I wanted to marry her to be the cottage lady in the future, but she resolutely refused, and hurt the child.
The child had no choice but to lock her up, but she didn't expect her to be so unbeaten, and she lost her breath in three or two strokes.
Originally, the child wanted to give her a reward to his brothers after she had eaten it. ”
"Okay."
The pit python nodded faintly, lifted the big knife placed at his feet, and slashed diagonally.
Blood was splattered in the air, the skull swirled, and a faint, somewhat smug smile remained on the boy's face.
The headless corpse fell to its knees,
There was an uproar of exclamation.
The pit python stood up, drew his sword, and slashed at the bandit,
Yi Ye Qing beside him drew a soft sword, cut the rope at the exit of the cave with an expressionless face, lowered the wooden door, and blocked the way out of all the bandits.
The shouts of killing and begging for mercy shook the sky,
For a moment, everything was silent,
The heavy wooden door was smashed with a knife,
Including the head, the pit python and Yiye Qing walked out of the cave side by side.
They were still expressionless, covered with crimson blood, covered with wounds large and small, but not a single drop of their own blood flowed out of the wounds.
The green fluff slowly pierces the surface of the skin, fluttering in the wind, absorbing all the blood and water, caressing all kinds of scars, allowing all the injuries to heal.
It's time to hit the road.
It used to be the existence of the pit python and Yiye Qing, twisting his stiff neck, rummaging through a few plain coats in the cottage, wearing them on his body, and continuing to walk in the direction of Luzhou.
No one noticed that above them, there were two strange-looking insects circling and flying.
They look the same as the ordinary Scout bees that Leon transformed from the biological master, but the head is unusually large, heavy as a watermelon.
There is a concern about whether they will fly and fall suddenly.
The two strange bugs were surrounded by four ordinary scout bees, guarding them as they marched towards the north together.
In the early morning of the next day, more than a dozen hostages in the dungeon behind the cottage were stunned to find that the cell where they were being held had been cut off at some point.
After escaping in a hurry, he found that there was not even a single thief in sight in the cottage.
All the bandits, gone.
