Chapter 9: Maple Falls Blood

The next day, Xiaoyun City was the same as usual, the people went out to work, the merchants sold goods, and the soldiers stuck to their posts, nothing unusual, but many years later, today is a memorable day, a day to become the rise of the Tang Emperor.

"Drive!"

The convoy of thirty people slowly left Xiaoyun City and disappeared on the official road, and after Li Tang left, more than a dozen people on the city wall quickly left and went back to report the news.

The Princess's Mansion, the first successful princess's mansion in Qingxiao Country, is also the base camp of Gong Bingxue, with countless masters in it, and no one can peep into it.

"Princess, he's gone!"

A maid reported in Gong Bingxue's ear that she was the housekeeper of the princess's mansion and was in charge of some information.

"Got it! You send someone to keep an eye on him, and this palace wants to know all his actions. ”

She was facing the bronze mirror, and on her snow-white neck, a bite mark was very conspicuous.

"Yes, princess!"

The maid saluted and retreated, and soon another person reported to Gong Bingxue............

But a person like Gong Bingxue who attaches great importance to Li Tang is very rare in Xiaoyun City, and after knowing the news, he smiled slightly and ignored it.

After the convoy left Xiaoyun City, it kept hurrying, without too much rest, and in just two days, it rushed to the boundary of Fengluo City, and at a glance, all of them were maple trees.

When the warm spring comes, the branches of the trees send leaves, and the mountains are clothed in a thin layer of green, and standing on the mountains, you can see the fields below the mountains, and you can vaguely see the people working.

"Lao Fu, find me a horse, I want to take a good look around Maple City!"

Li Tang's voice came from the carriage, he had been practicing the "Nine Heavens Supreme Exercises" in the carriage for the past two days, and he had already achieved initial results, and his strength had reached a half-step martial artist, much stronger than his previous self.

"Okay!"

Lao Fu replied heartily, and when he came out of Xiaoyun City, he also became much more cheerful, just worried about why Li Tang had been staying in the carriage.

Riding on the horse, Li Tang took the lead and galloped towards the bottom of the mountain range, followed by the thirty imperial guards, looking like a thousand horsemen rolling flat posts.

"Drive, drive!"

After a while, Li Tang saw a mountain village in front of him, with about dozens of families, and he was overjoyed: "Zilong, let's go to the front to have a look, have a light meal, and ask about the situation in Fengluo City." ”

"Good way!" Zhao Yun nodded.

As the distance to the mountain village got closer and closer, and the line of sight became clearer and clearer, Zhao Yun reminded on the side: "Lord be careful, there may be danger ahead!"

Li Tang nodded, he also saw that there were many horses outside the village, war horses were very precious in the Continent of All Nations, and the small mountain village could not afford to raise war horses at all.

The mountain village is called Tugang Village, it has been a hundred years since it was relocated, there are plenty of fertile fields around, and life is rich and fulfilling, but in recent years, it has not been satisfactory, the original city lord of Fengluo City died unexpectedly, lost the suppression of the city lord, and the nearby thieves have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they have continued to emerge.

In the face of the outnumbered thieves, the villagers of Tugang Village dared not speak out, and had to pay protection money every month in exchange for peace.

It's just that this time the situation is special, the leader of this gang of thieves wants to get married, so he takes a fancy to Xiuxiang, the daughter of the head of Tugang Village, and wants to rob him to be a cottage lady.

Of course, the villagers of Tugang Village were unwilling, in the past, they gritted their teeth and endured the past, but now they actually robbed people, and under the strong sense of neighborhood, they began to resist the thieves.

"I'm asking you once, Xiuxiang, do you pay or not, if you pay, everyone is safe, I can also promise to charge less money from you, if you don't pay, my big knife will see blood!"

The leader of the thieves waved the broadsword in his hand, causing the villagers to involuntarily take a step back, looking at each other one by one, but none of them retreated.

"Red thief, don't be delusional, my Shangang Village will not give up on anyone. ”

A gray-haired old man said that he was the village chief of Shangang Village, where he had absolute rights, was a highly respected person in the village, and was deeply loved and respected by the villagers.

The red thief's face was immediately gloomy, the old man's refusal made him lose face, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he put the knife on the old man's neck, as long as the blade slipped, the head would fall to the ground.

"Village Chief!"

The surrounding villagers turned pale, took out the farm tools in their hands, and confronted a group of thieves, just when the smell of gunpowder on both sides was strong, a thief who was watching the wind outside ran in and said in a panicked tone:

"Cavalry, there are court cavalry!"

The panicked sound reached the ears of the two sides who were facing each other, and the faces of the villagers of Shangang Village showed a trace of joy, a trace of joy of regaining their lives, while a group of thieves looked shocked.

The leader of the thieves immediately lay on the ground, listened intently, and judged by the sound of the ground how many people came.

After a few seconds, the leader of the thieves hurriedly got up and said, "Everyone get on their horses and get ready for battle." ”

He could tell from the sound of the horses' hooves that the horses that came over were all excellent war horses, and they were definitely not comparable to these field horses, and it was not feasible to escape, and the best way at present was to fight and retreat.

"I'll let you go this time, and you won't have this kind of good luck next time. The leader of the thieves said, turned on his horse, and ran out of the village.

"Lord, it's a thief!"

The powerful Zhao Yun immediately prompted.

Li Tang said without hesitation: "Pass the order, don't kill it!"

Qingxiao country is still a country and a peaceful country, as long as you are willing to work, you can eat enough, in such an environment, the thieves born are not forced by life, but their nature is bad, and they do a lot of evil.

It has been a principle through the ages to govern the good people with good laws, and evil laws to govern the wicked people.

"Kill!"

When Zhao Yun heard that he was going to fight, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he ran quickly on the Yezhao Jade Lion, and soon caught up with a thief and knocked him off the horse with one shot.

Several thieves rode horses around to besiege Zhao Yun, but they were all solved by dividing three and five by two, and this battle aroused the anger of the thief leader, who immediately turned the horse's head and fought with Zhao Yun.

With the strength of the peak of the martial arts, he fought with Zhao Yun for more than ten rounds before he was defeated, and during this period of time, Li Tang also brought people here.

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

Seeing that their leaders were defeated, most of the thieves did not resist, and directly dismounted and knelt down and surrendered, of course, there were more than a dozen thieves who did not want to surrender and wanted to escape.

"Kill them!"

Li Tang held the Qiankun Sword in his hand and stabbed several people to death, ordering, because he had killed too many people, his eyes were a little red.

Everyone's growth is not easy, and if he has the ambition to compete in the world, he must see blood.

Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles!

In killing, in iron and blood, and growing in tempering, it was Zhao Yun's advice to him, and he agreed with it very much.

The reversal of the situation shocked the villagers of Shangang Village, and under the leadership of the village chief, they came over to thank Li Tang and them.
