Chapter 14 Speculation
Hearing this, Cao Yanbing looked at Cheng Hao at the end of the strong crossbow below and Xia Ling, who was spiritually exhausted, and thought to himself: Even if the tiger and the two heroes are powerful, if they desperately attack with the remaining bed crossbow, I am afraid that these two burdens will have to be explained here.
Thinking of this, he said loudly: "Old man, there is no evidence, how can I believe it?" β
The old man's face was suddenly a little tangled, and after a moment of silence, he said: "If General Huo doesn't believe it, you can take the old man as a hostage, and then release the old man when he gets out of the cottage, how about it?" β
Before the words fell, the group of people behind him began to stir, the old man's face sank, and as soon as he raised his hand, they stopped moving, but their faces were anxious.
Cao Yanbing felt feasible when he heard it. If nothing else, coming here can make the guards stop one after another, this prestige, there is nothing to say! So he greeted Xu Chudianwei and Xia Ling, flew down from the city wall, put his arm around the old man's shoulder, carried the Ten Halls of Yama in his hand, and swept his cold gaze towards the crowd behind him.
The old man then gave a death order: put down the sword, open the city gate and protective array, and let them go!
Although the guards were full of unwillingness, the patriarch's order could not be disobeyed, so they hatefully collected their knives and got out of the way.
Xia Ling, who flew down from the city wall, wiped her tears, hurriedly helped Cheng Hao up, and asked about the injury urgently, Cheng Hao raised his hand to stop Xia Ling's questioning, now is not the time to say this.
Under the signal of Cao Yanbing's eyes, let Xia Ling help him to walk outside the cottage under the escort of Dian Wei. Cao Yanbing slowly followed behind, and Xu Chu was on guard.
The old man really let the three of them go.
After leaving the cottage for three miles, Cao Yanbing let go of the old man, saying that he had forgotten all about today, and thanked the old man for borrowing the road, and then said goodbye, and the old man also laughed and said that he didn't dare to dare.
Seeing that the three of them walked away, the guards hurriedly stepped forward and protected the old man in the middle.
Tie Niu stepped forward and said urgently: "Patriarch! Are you really going to let them go? They can see that we have contrabandβbed crossbows, and it's us in this direction..."
When the old man heard this, he suddenly became angry, and couldn't help but kick it again, directly interrupting Tie Niu's words and saying angrily: "If you fucking let go of the arrow at the beginning, will it cause such a big casualty!" β
When Tie Niu heard this, he was full of remorse, and directly slapped himself and said, "It's me who underestimates them too much." β
Zhang Ganping, an old man in white next to him, said: "Lao Hong, it's not all to blame Tie Niu, who would have thought that Cao Yanbing was actually a martial god!" β
The old man turned around and sneered: "What about the Martial God Body!" Killing so many of my Shanyue tribe's disciples, how can it be like this? Cao Yanbing, Cao Yanbing, you are still too tender, knowing such a big secret of our clan, then the old man will send you a bigger secret to bury you!
Four old brothers, when it gets dark, I will send an order for the guards of the arsenal to make second-hand preparations on the first line of the sky... Scold! Who knew that Tie Niu was so uncompetitive, it seems that this time he will use all his family resources! The four of you will arrange it in person, and if you don't leave these three people, I'm afraid that my Shanyue clan will be bleeding! β
An old man named Wang Ping said: "Big brother, what if the kid surnamed Cao doesn't go in the direction of the sky and walks around?" β
When the old man heard this, he stroked his tiger whiskers and said: "Don't worry, Brother Wang, don't forget that this kid has the blood of the Cao family on his body, I don't believe he will be interested in the bed crossbow!" β
The four old men glanced at each other, and then gave up their orders, and an old man named Wang Ping summoned a five-meter-long black-haired giant eagle, and the four of them turned over their backs, and the giant eagle flapped its wings and soared into the sky, and disappeared after a while.
The old man squinted at the dark night sky, and after a moment of silence, he took out a piece of paper condensed by spiritual power, waved his hand and wrote a spiritual letter, watching the spiritual letter disappear, he couldn't help but sneer: There is a good backstabber, why not... Moreover, my Shanyue clan has been a slave to others for a long time!
β¦
Cheng Hao and the three of them are healing in a cave at the moment, and the most seriously injured is Cheng Hao, fortunately, he is a wood attribute, with strong recovery and Xia Ling's cultivation, the injury has been improved by two points, and he is not coughing up blood.
Cao Yanbing walked in from outside the cave and handed them two roasted wolf legs to the two, and the two thanked them, and they gnawed on them regardless of whether they were hot or not, and they were tired for a day, and they were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.
After gobbling it up, Cheng Hao thought for a while and said, "Do you really believe that the old man will let us go?" β
Cao Yanbing rubbed his face with his hand and said, "I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't think of what is wrong." But... The Shanyue clan must have colluded or secretly surrendered to a certain soul general, otherwise how could there be so many bed crossbows! Harboring and selling weapons without permission is a capital crime, and the Qunying Hall under the command of the Imperial Spirit History will never allow such a thing to happen! β
"In that case, we might as well send a message to the Qunying Hall to hand over this gang of rogues!" Xia Ling gnawed on the bones and said vaguely.
"Do you have any spirit paper from the Hall of Heroes?" Cao Yanbing didn't have a good airway.
Xia Ling also realized that what she said seemed to be nonsense, and spit out two words like a mosquito: "No..."
There are also conditions for sending spiritual messages, and you must use the other party's spiritual power to condense the paper. Xia Ling saw that the two of them didn't mean to laugh at her, so she put her mind at ease and gnawed on the wolf's leg very happily, she was hungry, and everything she ate was delicious!
Cheng Hao said: "Such a criminal evidence related to the life and death of the whole clan is in our hands, there is no reason to let us go... Come to think of it, there is only one possibility! There must be an ambush ahead of them! β
Hearing this, Cao Yanbing frowned and thought for a while: "If there is an ambush, it must be even more powerful than last night's, unless they have more bed crossbows!" β
Cheng Hao thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong, and suddenly a spiritual light turned in his head, and he hurriedly asked, "How many bed crossbows can a soul suppressor have?" β
Cao Yanbing suddenly touched his head in embarrassment, and said, "I don't know... I didn't think about setting up an army... All I know is that a soul general can have an army of up to 100,000 men under his command! β
Cheng Hao thought for a while and said: "Judging from the situation last night, a bed crossbow needs four soldiers to operate, plus the shift manpower, as well as the manpower for transportation, etc., it is impossible to have ten thousand bed crossbows!" Three thousand is impossible, the most reasonable should be five hundred to a thousand! Otherwise, once there is a soul that will plot against it, it will be difficult to control the Qunying Palace! β
Cao Yanbing nodded and said, "I just asked Xu Chu, and based on his experience, I guessed that it was about five hundred, and the limit was one thousand!" β
Cheng Hao nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then we will be in big trouble!" If the Shanyue clan wants to keep us, they must come up with at least three times as many bed crossbows as last night! There were about five hundred bed crossbows last night, and they were bed crossbows with four bows, and their limits should not be enough to shoot and kill people who gathered and cultivated, and with the strength of the scorching seventh, they could resist hard, but they needed to consume about seventy percent of their spiritual power!
This is still because they did not realize that a salvo could cause resonance, which would have caused more power, otherwise it would have multiplied several times! However, there will probably be dozens of 500 shots that will reach a salvo, and my internal injuries are caused by the resonance caused by this salvo, which should not be underestimated! If there are more than 3,000 bed crossbows, I'm afraid we will all have to account for this! β
Cao Yanbing and Xia Ling's faces turned pale after hearing this, and Xia Ling said: "Isn't three thousand pieces capable of equipping an army of 300,000!" How could the Shanyue tribe have such a bed crossbow? β
Cao Yanbing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt a little incredible, so he shook his head and was silent.
Cheng Hao nodded to Xia Ling and said, "The only reasonable explanation I can think of at the moment is that the Shanyue clan has an arsenal!" β
Xia Ling gasped, obediently! Is this still a bandit? How many people are needed!
Cao Yanbing suddenly smiled meaningfully: "If your guess is correct, then I don't know how deep the water behind this will be!" β
