Chapter 47: Conflict

robbed Gray Shibang's property, Lin Xiao's face was still calm, and it seemed that he had nothing to do with him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The shops in the town reopened, and yesterday's main target was Ash Sebang, and the others just followed with bad luck and didn't suffer much damage.

Especially civilians, the robbers didn't even look at them, although the previous robbers were not interested in civilians, but occasionally took some to help them carry their belongings.

Except for the gray world, everyone's loss is not big, what should they do, they can't stop working to earn rations just because they came to a robber.

Since Lin Xiao had already sent someone to rob the Gray World, he had to let go of the idea of iron ore, if he was too arrogant, he was afraid that it would backfire.

After waiting for a few days, Gray Shibang finally returned, and this time he brought with him a man who looked like an officer, this officer with 50 soldiers, much better equipped than the guards in the town.

Originally, Gray Shibang came back happily, but found that the people in the whole town looked at him strangely.

It used to be fear or hatred, but now it is with a hint of sympathy......

Gray Shibang looked puzzled, came to his castle, and looked at the city wall in a mess, all bloodstained, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

Then I saw him push open the door and walk in, and the people peeping outside didn't know the situation.

Soon, however, a scream could be heard from inside the castle, and one of the guards hurried out to call the town's doctor.

Their lord, Gray Shibang, is unconscious!

This is a joy for the inhabitants of the town, even ignoring the losses caused by the robbers.

And Lin Xiao, who learned the news, was also secretly refreshed, asking this guy to threaten himself, this is the consequence!

He didn't pay much attention to the situation of Gray Shibang, because the town was a little panicked, and there was no shortage of human resources as before, he still expanded the manpower for the coal mine.

At the same time, scouts were sent to understand the officers who came with the Gray Shibang this time, and he definitely could be a nuisance to these people.

Sure enough, after a few hours, Gray Shibang woke up and came to Lin Xiao's residence with the officer.

The officers and soldiers wore military uniforms, and Lin Xiao had also seen the military uniforms of the Middle-earth Kingdom for the first time, brown, lean and tight.

The officer had a thin scimitar hanging from his waist, which was not lethal and was supposed to be an ornament.

Gray Shibang's decadent expression became a clear contrast to the officer, and the guards under him were obviously not these opponents wearing the same military uniform.

This is probably the difference between the regular army and the militia, the guards are at most a little stronger than the militia, nothing more than 50 steps and 100 steps.

"This is the residence of the merchant who can make koji." Ash Shibang explained to the officer, his expression was very respectful, although the officer did not have a knighthood, but it was not something he could afford to provoke.

Originally, Gray Shibang wanted to hide the wine koji privately, but his little abacus had already been seen by the nobles of Huangsha City.

These nobles knew better about the benefits of koji than Ash Sebang, and they only gave Ash Sebang a pitiful benefit, and they wanted to completely control koji.

Gray Shibang didn't expect that these nobles were even more black-hearted than himself, he was just a small rider, so he naturally couldn't keep it, so he had to explain it all.

And this officer is the one brought by the nobles to take away the recipe for koji.

I saw that the officer signaled to his adjutant, and the adjutant took several soldiers and directly slammed the wooden door open.

The officer looked arrogant, stepped into the courtyard, saw a patient in a wheelchair, and asked directly: "You are the vendor-Lin Xiao?" ā€

Looking at the menacing officer, Lin Xiao's face did not change at all, which made the officer a little unhappy, with his style, ordinary people had already been frightened.

The officer suddenly had this hunch that this time might not go too well, but he looked at the guards in the courtyard, there were less than 10 people, and he didn't think much about it.

This time, he brought 50 soldiers, plus the guards of the Gray World, a total of nearly 70 people, and he still needs to be afraid of the other party?

Lin Xiao didn't have the time to guess the psychology of the officer, and replied:

"That's right, I'm Lin Xiao, I don't know what the adults came here for this time?"

"Koji." The officer opened the door and said directly, he was too lazy to go around the bend, he wanted the other party not to give it, just grab it.

As for the law or something, it is for the nobles, traders like them, it is good to know each other, but if they don't know each other, the nine clans who have been punished have no place to redress their grievances.

"I'm sorry, I've already made a deal with the Grey Lord."

Lin Xiao said as he looked at Gray Shibang, who had an ugly face.

If he had known, he would not have paid attention to any koji, not only did he not reap the benefits, but because of his departure, the castle was empty and patronized by robbers.

All the property he has accumulated over the years is gone, and it is not easy to accumulate so much wealth in such a barren place as Huangsha City.

The feeling of returning to liberation with a shot made Gray Shibang very uncomfortable, those nobles couldn't afford to provoke him, he directly hated Lin Xiao, and the center had some thoughts, and said: "I have already torn up the agreement alone, you don't have to think about me anymore." ā€

Secretly scolding that Gray Shibang was spineless, Lin Xiao said: "I don't know how this adult wants to cooperate." ā€

"Cooperation?" The officer laughed and said, "You don't need to cooperate, you can just hand over the method of making koji." ā€

At the officer's signal, two soldiers came over carrying a wooden box, and when they opened it, they saw that it was full of silver bars, about 100 of them.

100 silver bars to buy koji, no matter how Lin Xiao calculated, he didn't know how much koji was worth, but he definitely could buy it with 100 silver bars.

If he were given 10 tons of iron, he might have to think about it.

"What if I don't give it." Lin Xiaodao.

The officer sneered, and all the soldiers at the door drew their swords, and they would rush up at the slightest order.

Gray Shibang was not as calm as the officer, and reminded: "This person has a disease, and if he gets too close, he will be infected, and then he will become a mad dog and die violently in three days." ā€

"Gray Lord, do you believe that?" The officer looked at the gray se-bang like a fool.

This made Gray Shibang's face look ugly again, and after thinking about it carefully, he really hadn't heard of this disease, could it be that Lin Xiao was really playing tricks on himself?

Gray Shibang was not sure, pointed to one of his guards, and said, "You go over and have a look?" ā€

The guards turned pale when they saw that they were being pointed, but they still walked towards Lin Xiao with a hard head.

Lin Xiao didn't let the guards stop him, and let him come over.

When there were only 2 meters left, the officer said, "Gray Lord, don't you still believe what I say?" ā€

Gray Shibang just wanted to say something, only to see the guard shout, Shuangyang turned red and killed Lin Xiao, but was cut to the ground by the guard next to him, and died instantly.

Seeing that his guards were killed, Gray Shibang was not angry, his face changed, and he took a few steps back.

The others also heard the words of the gray Shibang just now, and with their own eyes, they had to believe it and all withdrew.

The officer's face was also flushed, and he didn't care about face, so he retreated to the door.

"Don't think I can't help it!" The officer said angrily.

Lin Xiao didn't continue to provoke these people, and said, "I thought about it, it's better to hand over the production method of koji." ā€

"That's what smart people do." The officer was suddenly relieved, he didn't want to face this man with the plague on his body.

There are many ways to make koji, but Lin Xiao uses it very simply, only wheat is needed, and after processing and fermentation, koji can be made.

Of course, it doesn't have to be wheat, red fruit can be replaced, and wheat in the Kingdom of Middle-earth can also be replaced.

Due to the variety, it is very difficult to make koji without a professional method, which is why they have not made koji until now.

Even if it were made, I guess I wouldn't have thought that it would be possible to bake bread with koji, otherwise soft bread would have appeared a long time ago.

It's a pity that Lin Xiao can't make money with this anymore, I have to say that these nobles are too greedy, he doesn't want to set up a new enemy now, so he can only back down.

When he becomes stronger, these nobles still dare to come to trouble him, don't blame him for being ruthless.

After reassuring himself a little, he was ready to tell how to make koji.

But the officer asked him to wait a little and expelled the people around him, and even the gray Shibang was kicked out, and then he took out a pen and paper and began to record.

After noting down the method of making the koji, the officer put the paper away, and still had to confirm it, so Lin Xiao had to take out the koji he was brewing.

After confirming this, he had no intention of staying in this obscure place, and was ready to leave immediately, preparing to return to Huangsha City.

At this time, Gray Shibang, who had been waiting for a long time, walked in with his own guards, and said coldly: "Since we have torn up the agreement, the title deed of that wasteland should be returned to me." ā€

The officer glanced at Gray Shibang and didn't say anything, and the other party reminded him that he was still very grateful, otherwise he might be lying on the ground.

And the other party had just been robbed and was poor and white, and he wanted to recover some losses, he also felt that there was no problem, so he stopped and prepared to help Gray Shibang Town.

Very good, you guys are ruthless......

Lin Xiao's face was still pale, and he couldn't see the change in his expression, only Lin Xue on the side could feel a special chill.

The atmosphere was silent, and Gray Shibang said impatiently: "Don't you want to pay?" ā€

I only saw that all the guards of the Gray World State showed their bows and arrows, even if they couldn't get close, it wasn't just right to shoot them from a long distance with bows and arrows.

Anyway, the production method of koji has been obtained, even if Lin Xiao doesn't agree, Gray Shibang can kill the other party and grab it.

If he was alone, he might not dare to do this, but now that this officer is here, it is not too easy to suppress the other party, and if he doesn't make good use of this opportunity, he will really be a fool.

Of course, there is still one thing that Gray Shibang did not say, and the people he planted in the coal mine came to hear that this coal mine was actually a large coal mine.

Knowing this, Gray Shibang no longer calmed down, medium-sized coal mines have already made him excited, let alone large coal mines.

Even if the robbers didn't come this time, he had to find a way to get the title deed back, knowing that the large coal mines were no less than the iron mines, which was enough for him to make a lot of money.

You can recover all your losses in less than a year.

Lin Xiao was a little hesitant here, but finally compromised, did he want to set up a new enemy for a coal mine?

He didn't think it was worth it.

Now you can only endure it, and when the strength is strong, let them pay the price!

When Lin Xiao motioned for the guard to push the wheelchair and turn around to go back to the house to get the title deed, he felt the killing intent of Gray Shibang.

I only heard Gray Shibang say to the officer on the side: "Your Excellency, I think Lin Xiao and the robbers are in the same group. ā€

The officer looked surprised, and soon understood that Gray Shibang was convicting Lin Xiao, after all, it was uncivilized and dishonorable to rob things.

Although Gray Shibang can take back the title deed, no one will dare to trade with him after that, which is a very big loss.

It just so happened that a group of robbers from the town came to attack the day he left, and he could guess that there must be a mole in the town.

It is not clear who the traitor is, but he is the lord of the town, he said that it was a traitor, and then falsified the evidence, who would dare to disagree.

When the time comes, there is no proof of death, and it is useless to want to be rehabilitated, and you can still snatch back the title deed, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Although Gray Shibang's voice was small, Lin Xiao's hearing was twice that of ordinary people, and he still heard what he wanted to do to himself.

Lin Xiao didn't believe that Gray Shibang could find out that the robbers were with him, but what he did was very secretive.

If you think about it carefully, the other party probably made an excuse to slander himself, and he didn't expect to guess him.

He is indeed willing that the robbers are in a gang, and the robbery of the Gray World State is still planned by him.

But the other party obviously came to the coal mine, and the husband was not guilty, but guilty.

This world is not as civilized as the earth, and what is advocated is the primitive law of the jungle, since the other party wants to force himself to a dead end, then he is not to blame.

Forbear......

Thinking of this word, Lin Xiaolu smiled, and his pale face made his expression weird.

"Is my brother okay?" Lin Xue on the side was a little worried.

"I'm fine." Lin Xiao recovered his expression and said, "If someone wants to kill me, what do you say?" ā€

"Kill each other first!" Lin Xue replied without hesitation.

"Good! That is to kill the other party first! ā€

As soon as the words fell, the guards took action and blocked the doors and windows, fortunately, Lin Xiao rested when he came in, and the inside was very strong and could withstand it for a while.

After doing this, one of the guards released a flare.

It was also the first time they had seen a signal flare, and the officer had a lot of knowledge after all, so he quickly guessed the effect and exclaimed:

"Oh no, he's signaling!"

Gray Shibang also reacted, only to see that the doors and windows were closed instantly, and it seemed that the other party was planning to resist.

"Shoot the arrows!" The officer ordered without hesitation.

The soldiers all took out their bows and arrows and shot at the house, and the gray Shibang on the side also ordered his men to release arrows.

Hundreds of arrows rained down on the houses, piercing the doors and windows into hedgehogs.

After shooting the arrow, the officer had no intention of continuing to attack, this was a matter for Gray Shibang, and he had been able to help him until now.

Gray Shibang didn't say anything, and after putting so many arrows, the people inside were probably almost dead.

At his command, the guards drew their swords and rushed towards the gate.

He kicked open the door that had been shot open, only to see several guards blocking it, and the steel sword in his hand stabbed at it.

Only a few 'pops' of steel swords piercing into flesh were heard, and the guards who rushed to the front instantly lost their lives.

The guards in the back saw these people so fierce, and they had the idea of retreating.

Seeing this, Gray Shibang shouted: "There are only 4 of them, and there are more than a dozen of you, what are you afraid of them doing!" ā€

With such a sentence, the guards have some confidence, there are so many of them, are they afraid of each other?

The facts tell them that they can use it.

I only saw that these 4 guards seemed to have turned into butchers who killed people without blinking, and in just one minute, nearly 10 guards were killed.

The remaining guards were directly frightened and stupid, and they no longer dared to be strong, and all retreated.

The officers who were watching the play on the side didn't expect these 4 guards to be so powerful, and they suddenly had a plan to subdue, and said:

"We only arrest Lin Xiao who colluded with the robbers, and has nothing to do with others, and those who dare to stop it will be killed!"

Speaking these words, the officer looked at the four guards with a smug face, and his words were enough to shake most people.

But the four guards didn't move, and they didn't seem to hear this.

The officer was a little annoyed, but still said: "I am very optimistic about the four of you, if you surrender, the gray lord will not be to blame." ā€

Gray Shibang's expression was a little ugly when he heard this, but he still said: "You surrender, forget what happened just now, otherwise you will be wanted and hunted down to death by the entire Middle Earth Kingdom!" ā€

However, the 4 guards remained unchanged, which completely annoyed the officers, and even if they didn't know each other, there was no need to keep them.

"Surround the whole courtyard, and no one is allowed to escape!"

"Yes!"

Dozens of soldiers surrounded them, they were no match for the guards, and it didn't take long to get inside the house.

At this time, I only heard some unusual movement in the distance.

"Could it be that the other side's reinforcements have arrived?"

The officer was a little puzzled, but he had 50 soldiers, and he was a formidable force here, so he didn't need to worry about facing more robbers than he did.

One of the guards rushed over and was stopped by the officer's soldiers, and they also knew that the person in front of them was not easy to mess with, so they hurriedly reported: "My lord, a group of people of unknown origin have been killed from the town, and the number is not less than 100 hundred!" ā€

Gray Shibang's face suddenly changed greatly, and he couldn't stand steadily, and the officer on the side sneered: "What about 100 people, it's just a group of rabble, and the gray lord just needs to watch it with peace of mind." ā€

Hearing this, Gray Shibang felt a little relieved, the other party is a regular army, and it should not be a problem for each soldier to be one enemy and two enemies.

"Gather all the troops."

The officer directly asked his adjutant to assemble the troops, first lay out the formation, and solve the 100 people.
