Volume 1 Chapter 26 The Great Lonely Town
Zhao Fan put away his bow and arrows, and let the two of them pierce their hearts with an arrow from twenty zhang, and Gao Zhan's archery made many people look sideways. Among them, Liu Yang is included.
"Invite someone over. ”
Without Liu Yang opening his mouth, he commanded his subordinates.
"Are you from Linzhou County?"
Seeing Liu Yang and them wearing uniform armor, the old woman was a little excited, thinking that they were officers and soldiers sent by the county seat.
"Finally looking forward to your ......"
Before they could react, the old woman knelt down, wept profusely, and cried out bitterly: "A few days ago, many people were infected with the plague, and half of them died. Everyone else ran as they could, leaving only us young and old. A few days ago, someone brought back a lot of food, but it attracted the rogues of Heifeng Village, and many people died. Please, adults, help us......"
As she spoke, she kowtowed, for fear that Liu Yang and the others would leave in the next second. Some time ago, some officers and soldiers had also come, but they ignored them at all, so the old woman said in a loud voice, almost in a pleading tone.
"Get up. ”
Liu Yang's face was very calm, but there was a tingling sensation in his heart. Puyang City is very lively, all kinds of dignitaries haunt the restaurant and dance hall, and drink a glass of wine to count two silver. However, this lonely town was forgotten by everyone, and it was reduced to death in just a few months. What the hell is wrong with this world? so much intrigue and killing!
A wave of anger burned in his heart, and he unconsciously clenched his fingers.
When Liu Yang was distracted, Zhao Fan had already asked the old woman a few important questions. The information I got was very unexpected, yesterday a large number of rogues from the Black Wind Village ransacked the entire Dagu Town, and they were the ones who wanted to attack Zhao Jiu.
"Leave some dry food. ”
Zhao Fan instructed the two subordinates, the old woman has been hungry for a long time, and if there is no dry food supplement, there will be two days of life left, since she will definitely help each other. What's more, the information she provides is very important.
"My lord, are you going to deal with the people of Black Wind Village?"
"Can you take me? I want to meet my son. ”
The old woman stood in front of the horse, and her expression was very persistent, with a burning look of hope.
"What's your child's name?"
Liu Yang opened his mouth and asked her very seriously.
"His name is Ah Hu, and he turns 18 this year. He's in the mine, can you take me with you?"
The old woman looked at Liu Yang with a pleading tone, and that kind of gaze made his heart tremble.
"We'll bring him back. You are waiting for us here. ”
Liu Yang didn't dare to look at the old woman's eyes, and tried his best to keep his voice calm.
"Really?"
The old woman looked like she couldn't hide her joy, and although the corners of her mouth were bloody, she smiled painlessly.
"Our young master is full of promises. ”
Zhao Fan spoke, as if sensing Liu Yang's strange emotions, and spoke on his behalf.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, ......"
The people rode away, leaving the old woman alone. She stood by the stake and waved her hand at the crowd, and the thin shadow quickly disappeared into the wind and sand.
"Young master, do you want to send someone back to the city?"
Black Wind Village is the most terrifying force within a hundred miles of Puyang City. Although they were well-trained black-armored guards, it was difficult to say whether they would win or lose against the large group of rogue forces, especially Zhao Jiu's loss of news under the attack of this group of rogues, which made them even more uneasy. You must know that Zhao Jiu is the leader of the black-armored guards, and his martial arts cultivation is unfathomable, and who else can defeat him except for the same enemy.
"No, Liu Fu naturally has a back hand. ”
Liu Yang's expression was calm, he led so many black-armored guards out of the mansion, it was impossible for Liu Yong to be indifferent. At present, there is an undercurrent surging in Puyang City, and if he does not have the means to protect himself, it is impossible for him to get here easily. The only explanation is that someone secretly followed, and it was someone who could protect him.
Panshan, located in the west of Dagu Town. In the past, there were few people here, and since someone dug up the strange ore, many people in the town came here to try their luck, especially some time ago, someone brought the ore and sold it in the town for a good price, so that people who were willing to stay in the town gathered here to mine and earn some silver in exchange for some food.
At this moment, Deng Ming was guarding the entrance of the cave with dozens of people. They held scythes and hoes, staring at the dense figures outside. There were hundreds of them, and they surrounded the entire mine tightly.
"How's your injury?"
Deng Ming walked to the edge of the cave, and a tall and muscular figure sat on the ground, with a blood-stained sword stuck in front of him. The rogue outside has attacked several times, but he hasn't entered yet, all relying on this person's terrifying strength. Every time the sword was drawn, several people left corpses, and the original more than 160 rogues were killed, leaving more than 100 left.
"It's not badly injured, and you can still fight. ”
He got up to let people see his face clearly, it was Zhao Jiu. His figure was tall like a demon god, his hair covered his brows, and as the long sword trembled, there was a glint in his eyes. These rogues outside knew what he was capable of, and every time he died, a few people consumed his true qi, although it seemed very stupid, but it was very effective.
As long as they are willing to fill it with the lives of their men, and if they attack in three more waves, the few remaining True Qi will be exhausted.
"Kill!"
Every time the rogues outside, they let out a beast-like roar, and then they rushed on a rampage like a fat. Although it seems crazy, it has a huge deterrent effect on the enemy.
Many young people in the cave have seen such scenes several times, but they still can't adapt to it. The palms holding the sickle and hoe trembled a little, and in order to survive, they had to resist.
Fifty or sixty people were killed and wounded, and many of their companions were also killed, and only half of the eighty-odd people who had been mining were left.
The battle still took place at the entrance of the cave, Zhao Jiu raised his sword and opened and closed widely, he tried his best to save every trace of his true qi, and his shots were very deadly. In an instant, six or seven more people died by the sword.
Despite this, the rogue around him still rushed to the ground without fear of death. He couldn't help frowning, the rogues of Black Wind Village were really unusual, they were not comparable to ordinary recklessness at all, and even some regular troops might not be able to compare with the momentum of these murderers.
Although he secretly admired it in his heart, he drew his sword faster. In a flickering cold, one or two people fell.
"Who the hell is this man?"
The leader of the gang was a young man, he looked no more than twenty years old, but his face was very resolute. If it weren't for his subordinates to stop him, he would have rushed over with a big knife and fought with Zhao Jiu.
"There are so many people in Qianjun Gorge who have been ambushed, and he has only been injured a little, I can't imagine that he won't be able to see defeat for so long!"
"Huang Yi, don't worry. ”
A middle-aged man next to him spoke, and his bearing was quite extraordinary. He smiled and said, "No matter how ferocious the beast is, there will be times when it is exhausted, and you can kill him yourself." ”
"Third uncle, but our people ......"
After speaking, Huang Yi stopped, taking into account the emotions of the other rogues around him.
"Someone who exchanged so many taels of silver for the ore inside, as long as we get the mining area, it will be worth the death of many people. ”
This middle-aged man named Third Uncle shook his head, they received news yesterday that someone had exchanged this strange ore for a large amount of wealth, I didn't believe it, but the spies found out about Zhao Jiu and Deng Ming's deal, so there was an action to attack the mine after attacking Zhao Jiu.
For the Rogues, wealth is everything. As long as there is wealth, loyal servants will receive a steady source of energy. The northwest has been in turmoil for many years, except for some big cities, ordinary people in many areas do not have enough to eat, and if they have wealth and food, it is very easy to lure them to become outcasts.
"In half an hour, I'll strike at him. ”
Tightening the knife in his hand, Huang Yi resisted the impulse again. He is the most outstanding young man in Black Wind Village, but at the age of twenty, he is a figure in the middle stage of condensation, and with his strange sword skills, even a figure in the late stage of condensation can fight. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't see through Zhao Jiu's cultivation, he would have fought a long time ago, so why use such a despicable way to consume the opponent's strength.
When the rogues retreated again, more than twenty corpses were left at the entrance of the cave. A small number of them also have miners. Even if Zhao Jiu's strength is amazing, it is difficult to protect everyone in such a chaotic battle.
"Those two are the bandits!"
While the rogues were trying to deal with themselves, Zhao Jiu was also thinking about how to deal with it. This mine is not only very important to Liu Yang, but also to the entire Liu Mansion, and it must not fall into the hands of others. That's why he fought so hard to fend off this group of rogues.
"Let's surrender!"
"We're all going to die like this......"
Most of the miners were ordinary people, who could endure a long fight, and their remaining will to fight was also carried away by the desire to survive, and a small number of people wanted to surrender to the rogues on the other side, hoping to survive.
"Stupid!"
Deng Ming spoke, he was older and had great majesty among the crowd. What's more, many people who came to mine were hired by him.
"Mr. Deng, let us go. ”
"I still have a few children at home, I don't want to die here......"
Several people pleaded that they still had relatives alive in the town, and that they didn't want to give their lives here in vain.
"You think if you surrender, they won't kill you?"
Deng Ming snorted coldly, and then said: "The rogue of Black Wind Village even killed his own people, he is notoriously cruel, do you think you will survive if you surrender!"
"I don't care, I'm going to try. ”
Two of them did not believe in evil and rushed towards the entrance of the cave. As soon as they tried to shout at the Liukou, they were killed by several arrows that ended their short and young lives.
"The second baby and Li Da!"
Some people cried out bitterly, they were all companions who had a good relationship on weekdays, but they watched the two die tragically outside the entrance of the cave.
"Now, you see that, right?"
Deng Ming sighed, if there was another way, why would he want everyone to stick here?
