Chapter 10 Liberating the Slaves
"The Nightmare Exterminator is ......" Lei Aotian just wanted to explain, but suddenly felt strange, how could the fourth prince of the Tang Sect not even know the Nightmare Exterminator? After being stunned for a long time, he suddenly said again, "Maybe you younger generations don't know about the Nightmare Slayer, after all, there are no Nightmare in this world anymore, and there are some little demons and monsters who are doing it, and the Nightmare Slayer can only be called the Demon Slayer by the current people." ”
If the word Demon Slayer is literally understood, Tang Qianshu can still probably understand what it is for, and it is the first time that Tang Qianshu has heard of the Nightmare Slayer.
However, there is a folk saying that there are nine demons and one nightmare. It probably means that there are nine demons in the world, but they may not necessarily form a nightmare, and the ferocity of the nine demons is not as strong as a nightmare.
"I know the nightmare, the so-called nine demons and one nightmare!"
Anyway, she is also the fourth son of the Tang family, casually reciting a folk ghost story.
"Demons are relatively easy to generate, and nightmares need harsh external conditions to generate, and there must be large-scale tragic deaths to ensure that enough resentment is condensed, and the corpses of the deceased must be kept as they are, without decay and drying, and without other treatment, the evil spirits can attach to their bodies to form nightmares......"
"Ugh." Lei Aotian looked at Tang Qianshu's troubled appearance, and finally couldn't help laughing, "Sure enough, the legend of the Wei Clan has become like this in your generation?" ”
"What, I'm not right?" Tang Qianshu raised his eyebrows and asked.
Lei Aotian coughed and put away his smile: "It's not wrong, in fact, the Nightmare Clan is the orthodox bloodline of the Demon Clan, but the Nightmare Clan was wiped out by the Nightmare Exterminator a long time ago, and since then, there has been no pure bloodline Nightmare in this world, and Nightmare has gradually become a folk tale handed down." ”
As if it was true, Tang Qianshu just wanted to scoff at it, but looking at everything unscientific on the square, he couldn't laugh at it.
It's okay not to look at the square, this look scared her out of a cold sweat.
On the square, there are either puppet corpses that have been hunted and fallen to the ground, or meat balls that have been blasted into slag by demon-breaking arrows, and there is only one person standing in the middle of the square in the mess.
It was the slave who was chained to the cage and could not move, and he still stood proudly, his eyes still clear as frost above his dirty face.
The archers looked at the slave as they saw no more bodies on the field.
"Coach Zhao, there is one person left on the field."
Zhao Jiaotou, who was riding on a horse, glanced at the slave in the center of the square, his eyes narrowed, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he looked down at the soldiers on the side.
"Are you sure he's a person?"
The soldier looked like a slave, but he did seem to be a human being: "Leader, what ...... Not people. ”
When Zhao Jiaotou heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked: "Since you are not a human, why don't you give me the arrow?" ”
The soldier immediately presented the arrow.
Looking for the head of the sect with a bow and arrow, looking at the only living creature in the field, his eyes showed a cold light, as if he had been waiting for the hunt of this slave for a long time.
Put the arrow on the bow, pull it full, his bright arrow aimed at the heart of the slave, Zhao Yongliang, the head of his crossbow soldiers in the Xiliang Army, archery is also a bit famous in the hidden capital, as long as this one is shot, the person who is chained to the iron cage will definitely go to Huangquan.
If the corners of the mouth are coldly hooked, the arrows full of bows will leave the string!
"Wait!" Tang Qianshu suddenly shouted loudly.
Zhao Yongliang squinted his eyes, only to see a fourteen-year-old boy with a fierce look: "Bold, where did the kid dare to obstruct official business?" ”
Tang Qianshu, who had made a bet with Thirteen with his life just now to save those slaves, couldn't look at the people who survived so many deaths at this moment, and finally couldn't escape the fate of being hunted, so he finally stepped forward to stop Zhao Yongliang.
"Dare to ask what is Zhao Jiaotou's so-called official business?"
"In the name of Li Dufu, the head of this sect hunts and kills the monsters that have been transformed into corpses."
"Governor Li really sympathized with the people of Youdu, and when he learned that there were monsters harming the people, he immediately sent people to strangle them, and he deserved to be the parents of the people. Sect leader Zhao was brave and hunted and exterminated the monsters in a short period of time. ”
"Hmph, since you know everything, you don't get in the way here."
"Since the head of the Zhao sect who eliminated harm for the people has already wiped out the monsters, why did he kill that slave?"
"You ......" only then did he know that this kid was here to find fault, Zhao Yongliang said impatiently, "Under the hunting of so many wolves and ghouls, that filthy slave is actually safe and sound, it is very likely that it is the bane, and the head of this sect killed him also to calm the people!" ”
"The worries of the sect leader are really far-reaching, and the people are short-sighted."
Although Tang Qianshu stood on the ground and looked up at Zhao Yongliang on horseback, because of his own modest and delicate, he did not show flattery at all, but had a little more free and easy ridicule.
"It's just that Xiaomin can prove that the slave is not the bane, and he has nothing to do with these ghouls."
"You can prove it by what you say?"
"Xiaomin doesn't dare." Tang Qianshu looked at the people around him, "Everyone here can prove that the slave has nothing to do with the ghouls, we can start with the beginning of the Lei Da master." ”
“……”
Lei Aotian's face flickered a little when he was named, he didn't want to have a conflict with the people in the government, and he didn't want to have a conflict with the Tang Sect. Just now, he also paid attention to it, the four young people of the Tang family are too young, and they have fine skin and tender meat, so they have no real skills.
Before Thunder was compared to archery, she admitted that she was a coward without saying a word, and she didn't want to compare. When the ghouls came to kill, she was guarded by a maid and guards, and she was completely ineffective.
may also be because of this, so Tangmen is known only for its three sons, and the fourth one is too watery to take it.
But this kid wants to confront Zhao Yongliang for the sake of a slave at this time, isn't that ...... Let him be in a dilemma. Zhao Yongliang is the head of Li Dufu's crossbowmen, and he is also a distant relative of Li Dufu, and he is also ruthless on weekdays. It's not easy to offend.
"Starting with Thunder?" Zhao Yongliang snorted, "You have to answer well." ”
Lei Aotian coughed and said, "Lei will answer truthfully." ”
"Master Lei, do you remember the time I entered the city today?"
“…… Remember, your son-in-law came at noon, how can you not remember? "But what does that have to do with those slaves?
"I remember when you came, you had several wagons with slaves stopped at the gate of the city and checked, which caused me to wait with the people who wanted to enter the city."
"Yes, yes." Lei Aotian said, "Next time, I will prepare more properly and not let my son wait." ”
"Then Lei Dang, are those slaves the ones who are in Sunset Square today?"
"Exactly."
Tang Qianshu shook his head, looked calmly in the direction where Thirteen was, and took two steps forward. Thirteen stared at her coldly, didn't he want to beg him with his life again?
But her gaze passed over him and looked at Li Qing behind him: "I heard Lei Ting say that Li Gongzi is the child of Li Dufu, but when did Master Li say that this ghoul started to haunt Youdu City?" ”
"Presumptuous!" Zhao Yongliang didn't expect her to ask Li Qing for questioning, so that even if he thought about it, he wouldn't be able to count Li Qing's head after settling the account, "You are really casual, anyone dares to ask!" ”
"Then Xiaomin asked Zhao Jiaotou." Tang Qianshu looked at Zhao Yongliang with a long look, "What's going on in the secluded capital where ghouls began to attack the people?" When did the government issue a list of martial law for the whole city? ”
Wang Cheng came back just now and said that there would be ghouls in the west in the morning, which Tang Qianshu could hear.
Zhao Yongliang looked at this kid and squinted his eyes, he looked very weak, but he was also fat with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth.
"With the many years of experience of the sect leader, you should also know that the ghouls in Xitou were transported in the morning, and these slaves were transported at noon, so obviously that slave had nothing to do with this case."
Zhao Yongliang's face sank, obviously extremely unhappy, glared at Tang Qianshu fiercely, and looked at the onlookers on the sidelines. How much he is a sect leader, killing a slave is nothing, but at this moment, he is so troubled by this kid, he at least has to kill him in a high-sounding manner, so as not to lose his face as a sect leader.
"The head of the sect also asked Ray the family, why is that slave the only one who is chained to the cage with so many slaves?"
Lei Aotian hesitated for a moment and said, "When I went to buy it, I heard that this slave is not very different from other slaves. ”
"How different."
"He didn't ask even more about it, but he heard that if he wasn't tethered, all the slaves in the same cage with him would die."
"Bold Thunder Aotian!" Zhao Yongliang shouted sharply, "You dare to bring such a dangerous slave to the hidden capital and want to rebel!" ”
Lei Aotian hurriedly said: "Sect head Zhao, Xiaomin doesn't dare!" ”
"Such slaves of unknown origin must not be kept without a master, but must be ...... Kill. When he said this killing word, Zhao Yongliang looked at Tang Qianshu proudly, to see what else he had to say?
