Chapter 45: The County of Annam

On the way, Wang Yi and Liu Xiaopeng also left their mounts with the villagers to use to carry grain on camels.

At first, Wang Yi's red-maned horse snorted to express his dissatisfaction, but Wang Yi whipped it. I had to be honest.

Hanging his ears, he walked reluctantly.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and because there were old, weak, sick and disabled people in the team, and some were still carrying food and other items, they could not get up quickly at all. Therefore, the whole team did not move fast, and could only move slowly.

Along the way, Wang Yi also talked with Liu Xiaopeng, and for a while, the two fell in love, and the conversation was very hot.

From Liu Xiaopeng's mouth, Wang Yi also learned some news about him.

According to him, he spoke out in the Liu family, a first-class family in Fengtu Mansion City, his father was the head of the Liu family, and since he was born, he was given great expectations by the family, hoping that he could grow up and be in charge of the Liu family in the future.

As he grew older, he also began to practice martial arts, and his talent was not bad at the beginning, and the martial arts entered the realm very quickly, and the Liu family was quite satisfied with his talent.

But when he was fifteen years old, a cousin named Liu Tao in the family suddenly rose up, showing a very high martial arts talent, and the martial arts realm quickly approached Liu Xiaopeng, and suddenly, everyone in the family was shocked.

They were all very amazed at the cousin's martial arts talent, thinking that with Liu Tao's martial arts talent, they might be able to reach the peak of the innate realm of martial arts in the future, and maybe they would be able to spy on the realm of martial arts grandmasters.

Suddenly, most of the eyes of most people in the Liu family were focused on Liu Tao's body, so all the glory that originally belonged to Liu Xiaopeng was transferred to Liu Tao's body at once, and the cultivation resources in the family were also tilted towards Liu Tao, and even deleted some of the cultivation resources that originally belonged to Liu Xiaopeng.

Although Liu Xiaopeng was very dissatisfied in his heart, he had no choice but to endure it under the fruitless opposition, and he lived three or four years with more grievances.

Since then, Liu Tao has become a representative of the younger generation of the Liu family in Fengtu Mansion City, and all kinds of flattery and glory halos surround him, making him arrogant and arrogant, and even he began to covet the qualifications of the heir of the family that originally belonged to Liu Xiaopeng.

and openly challenged Liu Xiaopeng in the Liu family, threatening that if Liu Xiaopeng lost, he would automatically give up the qualification of the family heir. Liu Xiaopeng naturally disagreed with such a challenge, after all, it did not do him any good.

However, Liu Tao played tricks to incite the children of the Liu family, coupled with the help of the elders of the Liu family who supported him, to force Liu Xiaopeng to agree to this condition, even Liu Xiaopeng's father could not resist the union of the vast majority of the entire Liu family.

As a result, this battle to determine the next generation of the Liu family can only be carried out in Liu Xiaopeng's anger and unwillingness.

It's a pity that Liu Xiaopeng was defeated, Liu Tao deserved to be extremely talented, and his cultivation strength completely surpassed Liu Xiaopeng, so Liu Xiaopeng's successor qualification was ruthlessly deprived, regardless of his anger and shouts.

Thinking of Liu Tao's swaggering appearance after seizing his family's heir qualifications, he felt a burst of aggrieved anger in his heart.

I really couldn't stay in the family anymore, Liu Xiaopeng ran away from home angrily, and wandered outside for more than a year, and now he is twenty years old, and his strength has reached the fourth realm of martial arts.

After listening to Liu Xiaopeng's narration, Wang Yi couldn't help but be silent for a while, he really felt very worthless for Liu Xiaopeng, and he didn't know how to withstand this humiliation and blow.

I couldn't help but feel very sympathetic to Liu Xiaopeng in my heart, and at the same time, I was very glad that I didn't encounter such a tragic situation, but many uncles, uncles and brothers and sisters in the family took care of themselves and cared for themselves.

But he thought again, maybe they are so good to themselves because of my outstanding natural strength, if their natural strength is average, maybe they will not be so good to themselves, thinking of this, Wang Yi couldn't help but be silent in his heart.

Perhaps this cruel truth is the truth, and sure enough, in any world, only people with outstanding talent and strength will be loved and praised by all.

And ordinary people don't even have the interest to let others take a closer look.

The weak are just a stepping stone for the strong, a background wall for the strong, and an object of being beaten, scolded and humiliated by the strong at will.

The cruelty of this world was bloodily displayed in front of Wang Yi at this time, which made his heart shake.

If the actual situation of this world is like this, then I will never be willing to be a mediocre person, I will definitely be the person who is above the people, the strongest of the strong.

Wang Yi couldn't help but strengthen his determination to become stronger.

Subsequently, Wang Yi also said something about himself, and Liu Xiaopeng called him much luckier than himself.

Wang Yi could only smile awkwardly, not knowing how to reply to him, could it be that I just said that there was no one more outstanding than me in my family, otherwise the ending might be the same as you.

In this way, the two of them were silent for a while, and neither of them had any interest in talking.

As the sun set, the sky gradually darkened, and the party walked for several hours, and almost everyone became thirsty and hungry, and it was not known how long it would be before they reached the county seat of Annam.

At this moment, Liu Xiaopeng suddenly said excitedly: "Brother Wang, look, that is the county seat of Annan, and we are almost there." ”

Saying that, Liu Xiaopeng pointed ahead with his finger, and when he heard this, Wang Yi looked in the direction of Liu Xiaopeng's finger, and saw that in the dim sky, a majestic city stood at the end of the earth, like a wild beast, exuding the atmosphere of ancient vicissitudes.

Seeing this, Wang Yi also showed a smile, he turned around and said loudly to the tired villagers:

"Folks, look. Ahead is the county town of Annam, we are almost there, everyone hold on a little longer!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look up, and when they saw the faint giant city, everyone became excited.

"Great, we're finally here, let's do our best. ”

For a while, a force seemed to surge into everyone's tired bodies, and they persevered and continued to walk.

After walking for another hour, the group finally arrived at the gate of the county town of Annam.

Wang Yi looked up and saw that the city walls of this Annan County City were tall and heavy, although they were not as strong as the Longteng Mansion City, they were also majestic, and the city walls were also covered with sword wounds, as well as huge animal traces, exuding a fierce aura.

The city wall is more than 20 zhang high, and in the dark night, under the inflammation of the fireworks at the city gate, the heavy city gate is tightly closed at this time.

"The gates are closed, what can I do?"

"Yes, we can't get into the city, do we have to spend the night outside the city?"

For a while, the villagers couldn't help but talk about it, and it was noisy.

Wang Yi and his group had already been discovered by the city guards guarding the city gate, and when they heard the sound under the city wall, they couldn't help but shout angrily:

"Who are you, dare to make noise at the city gates, and don't want to live?"

"The military master above, it's like this, these are the villagers of Qingyuan Village thirty miles away, their village was ransacked by thieves at noon today, and the village was also engulfed in flames, we saved these villagers, seeing that they had nowhere to live, they came to ask for help from Annan County, and I hope that the military master will make it convenient, open the city gate, and let us in!"

Under the city wall, Wang Yi raised his head and explained to the guards on the city tower.

"No, the gates are closed, and they must not be opened unless there is a warrant from the lord of the city, and if you want to enter the city, wait for tomorrow. On the city wall, the guard refused unceremoniously and coldly.

"Then please go and report to the city lord of Annan! This is a little respect, please buy wine and drink from your brothers. At this time, Liu Xiaopeng stood up and said, and at the same time took out a bag from his arms and threw it towards the city.

The guard subconsciously caught it, opened it and took a look, and the other guards around him also gathered around him with a curious expression.

"Oh my God, that's a hundred taels of silver. ”

"Brother Yu, you sent it, you have to invite the brothers to drink!"

"Yes, yes, Brother Yu, you can't be stingy. ”

For a while, all the guards were full of envy and spoke one after another.

Hearing this, Brother Yu hurriedly put away the money bag, and said with a righteous face: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, when the time comes, I'll have a treat, everyone will come, everyone will come, and everyone will be indispensable for wine and food." ”

"Brother Yu is righteous, don't hide it then. The guards laughed.

"No, no. After saying that, Brother Yu turned his head and looked under the city wall again.

At this time, under the city wall, Wang Yi said with a surprised face, "Brother Liu, you?"

"Shhh, Brother Wang, the so-called going out, you have to be left and right, the so-called Hades is better, the little ghost is difficult, and the things that can be solved with money are not things. You see, there must be a lot to talk about, and we might be able to enter the city tonight. ”

Liu Xiaopeng whispered in Wang Yi's ear, and his words seemed confident.

"Hey, below, I can go and tell the city lord, but as for whether the city lord can agree to open the city gate, I can't guarantee it. ”

I saw Brother Yu on the city wall, shouting downward.

"Okay, okay, trouble this military master. Liu Xiaopeng hurriedly said with a smile.

"Wait. After saying that, the guard named Brother Yu turned around and left, got down the city gate tower, and ran towards the city lord's mansion.

And Wang Yi and the others sat down at the city gate to rest and wait for the results.
