Chapter 82: The Tiemu Xu Family
After the moon and clouds in the sky, the fire on the ground disappeared from darkness, and it was still in front of the gate of Tiemu City, which was as bright as day by the fire, and those who wanted to enter the city stood in front of the city gate.
gathered as a group, but no one dared to move forward.
The steward was very satisfied with the attitude of these people, and after Zheng Xiaoyao and the others were gone, pride appeared on his face again, and he put his hands behind his back, jumped back, and returned to the city wall.
Looking at the crowd below, he said softly: "Now that everything is over, the rest is our business, those who want to enter the city can enter the city by handing over ten spirit stones." ”
The steward's words fell, and no one answered for half a day, ten spirit stones a night, this is not a sky-high price, and sleeping outside the city overnight is forgotten, this is what most people think.
Seeing that everyone was stagnant, all they wanted to do was to sleep outside the city, and there was no urgency on the steward's face, as if everything was expected.
He said indifferently: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, now there are bandits rampant outside Tiemu City, often active at night, you can be careful!"
Listening to the steward's words, everyone was shocked, savored the meaning of it, and suddenly scolded in their hearts.
This dog is in charge, and he really has a good calculation, what bandits are rampant, just think about it, you know that it is your people, but this one.
One word stirred up a thousand waves, and as soon as the steward's words came out, the scene that had been quiet before the city gate boiled again.
Everyone's hearts began to hesitate, it would cost as much as ten spirit stones to enter the city, but if they were really attacked by the so-called bandits, they were afraid that the loss would be greater, but with so many people here, they might not have the strength to fight.
There are not a few people who have this kind of thought, and after a while, I heard someone shouting: "Everyone, don't give in, it's not just some bandits, so many of us here can't resist it." ”
In one word, there are many people who echo it, all of them are people who don't want to produce these ten spirit stones, but they are afraid that they will be weak and unable to resist the rampant bandits.
Seeing that all the people under the city had gathered together, under the leadership of a few of the most powerful people, they gradually gathered into a force of appearance, and there were also people standing guard in the distance.
The man in charge frowned, looking at all this, thinking about how to solve the situation in front of him.
Killing people doesn't work, massively killing civilians, not to mention that the previous one can't let me go, even if the Tianlan royal family investigates me, I can't escape death.
But if you really let these people form an alliance and live in peace, how can you explain to the city lord.
After thinking about it for a while, I gradually noticed that a pair of small eyes squinted on the big face, and a sinister smile appeared on my face.
Loud out: "Listen, according to the report of the front-line spies, those bandits who have gathered have already known the situation outside the city, and are gathering their forces to attack Ironwood City, and they will arrive here in a moment, I advise you not to lose a big one." ”
After a pause, he gave everyone time to digest, and then spoke again: "This lord is merciful, and it is not easy to forgive you, so the first force to pass only accepts one spirit stone, and the second two ......"
As soon as he said this, the city suddenly regained its restlessness again, and the alliance that had been formed with great difficulty was on the verge of shattering in an instant.
Several leaders saw through the discord between the stewards, and hurriedly spoke loudly to comfort the people around them.
But how could these people listen, and it is not that these people are stupid, most of them understand the plan of the person in charge, but at the same time, they also understand that since the person in charge said that the bandits are coming, it is true, although those are most likely not real bandits.
But what to do is really a bandit's thing, the sword has no eyes to resist, if it really hurts his life, it is really worth it, and now, only one spirit stone is needed to remove all this, why not do it.
So after a little thought, the crowd was completely chaotic, and a large number of people rushed towards the city gate.
Soon, the ten places were full, and the price of the required spirit stones was restored again.
And watching the lucky ones in front of them enter the city, a small number of the remaining people couldn't help but hesitate in their hearts, and handed over the spirit stone to enter the city.
As the crowd became smaller and smaller, the remaining people also struggled more and more, because could the remaining people really be able to resist the bandits who were coming?
After a struggle in their hearts, some people who did not dare to hand over their lives to luck had to grit their teeth and take out most or all of the income from this operation, so as to enter the city in exchange for a moment of peace.
Outside the city, there were only a few people left who were really strapped for money or who were sure that they would be safe, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the distant avenue, which was clearly audible.
The steward looked at the last people left, and laughed loudly: "Everyone, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, I'm afraid that the group of bandits is coming, everyone pay attention to safety, don't lose the goods, otherwise it won't be a matter that can be solved by ten spirit stones." ”
Turning around, he said to the people beside him, "Close the city gates and stop the bandits." ”
Then there was no sound, only the sound of horses' hooves in the distance was getting closer, and the rest of the people all gathered together, blocking in front of their own and others' goods, carrying weapons and waiting for the battle.
The robbers arrived, acted in an orderly manner, shot ruthlessly but did not hurt people, and the robbers fled away.
Great compassion, the people under the city are in pain, regret, at this time the city gate opened, an officer and soldier on the city gate showed his figure, shouted: "The bandits have retreated, you are all affected by the disaster, the steward has something to say, the people affected by the disaster must not be bandits, you can enter the city, everyone, please!"
The soldier retreated, and then there was a creaking sound, and the huge and heavy city gate was slowly opened.
The embarrassed crowd looked at each other, all of them were suffering, and they entered the city gate with a sad face.
On the second day, a store in the city sold all kinds of low-level materials at low prices in batches, and they were sold out in half a day, and the figure was gone.
These are all afterwords, and after Zheng Xiaoyao and his party entered Tiemu City, the people who were waiting around them poured up.
"Little friend, if you need accommodation, Windward Hotel is at your service. ”
"Children, come to our store, not only can you stay, but also other special things!"
Several men opened their mouths and said to Zheng Xiaoyao and the others, including some unfair competition methods, Zheng Xiaoyao did not speak, Zheng Li'er suddenly broke out, pushed the people who came up and blocked Zheng Xiaoyao.
said angrily: "Brother Xiaoyao won't go to your store, get out!"
Looking at Zheng Li'er's appearance, Zheng Xiaoyao burst into laughter, and the corners of Mu Tian's mouth also involved a little smile, but he didn't dare to be as presumptuous as Zheng Xiaoyao.
Because the former has long been used to this, he doesn't want to be ravaged by Sister Li'er, that is a very terrible thing.
The people who poured in were all human spirits, and when they saw Zheng Li'er's appearance, they didn't understand the relationship between the two in their hearts, and why Zheng Li'er came up.
Immediately, the words changed and became a different rhetoric.
Before Zheng Xiaoyao could make a move, Xu Lang stepped out from behind several people, faced a few people, and roared in a low voice: "Get out!"
When a few people heard this, they raised their heads and glared angrily, only to feel that the person in front of them seemed familiar, but they couldn't remember when they had seen it.
This is also normal, although Xu Lang is famous after that incident, he doesn't go out often, most of the time he stays at home, and it's normal for these people to not remember.
Since they couldn't remember who it was, these people didn't have a good face, looked at the young man, and shouted: "The baby of that family has no tutor so much." ”
Xu Lang: "I, Xu Lang's guest, don't need you people to receive me, if you are entangled, I will pull out your bones and feed the cat." ”
"Xu Lang!"
Everyone exclaimed, at this time, a person's face finally appeared in their minds, almost the same as the young man in front of them, everyone thought about the stories that had been circulated in the Xu Mansion in the past few years, and couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and cold sweat suddenly appeared on their foreheads.
Several people hurriedly begged for mercy, then pushed back, and finally ran up, and disappeared without a trace as soon as the smoke slipped away, disappearing in the eyes of Zheng Xiaoyao and the others.
Zheng Xiaoyao patted Xu Lang's shoulder and said with a smile: "Xu Lang, I didn't expect you to win so much in this city." ”
Xu Lang: "The master laughed. ”
Zheng Xiaoyao: "I didn't promise to accept you as a slave, just like you, you are not qualified enough, you are neither loyal nor powerful." ”
Xu Lang didn't speak, just silently retreated to stand behind a few people, and then said, "Master, it's better to go to Xu's house to rest for one night." ”
Zheng Xiaoyao smiled, did not correct Xu Lang's title, but said with a smile: "You should know what we will do if we go to Xu's house." ”
Xu Lang: "I know, it's just killing." ”
Zheng Xiaoyao: "Oh, then you're not afraid that I'll kill the people you care about." ”
Xu Lang: "I am an orphan, I have no relatives in the Xu family for a long time, the master is casual, if necessary, I can do it for the master." ”
When Xu Lang spoke, there was no half of the wave in his eyes, as if it was really as he said.
But after Zheng Xiaoyao's next sentence was spoken, Xu Lang's eyes showed strong fluctuations for the first time in this time.
"And what if you kill those who care about you?"
Standing in the middle of the street, the pedestrians and hawkers were noisy, but Xu Lang was completely uninhabited, stunned for a while, Zheng Xiaoyao looked at Xu Lang's face at this time, but he gave a few points in his heart, okay, okay.
It seemed that after a long time, Xu Lang's expression became firm through hesitation, and he watched Zheng Xiaoyao answer the question he asked: "It's okay!"
As the words came out, something was missing in Xu Lang's eyes, and the breath of his whole body changed suddenly, making people feel cold without the slightest temperature.
Zheng Xiaoyao's expression froze, he actually gave up, is the remorse in his heart so heavy? In fact, it is not difficult to take revenge!
Facing Xu Lang, Zheng Xiaoyao sighed softly, he had seen too many tragic scenes, but his heart fluctuated for the experience that this young man described in the mountains.
The scene in the mountains came to mind, Xu Lang knelt in front of Zheng Xiaoyao, begging Zheng Xiaoyao to take him as a slave, on the condition that revenge was revenge, and the hatred in his heart could only be quelled by devouring human bones.
Zheng Xiaoyao naturally didn't agree, the young man in front of him was obviously not qualified to follow him, and the emotions in his heart also made the whole person not normal.
Back in front of him, Zheng Xiaoyao called Xu Lang's name and asked him to lead the way in front, and the group walked towards the Xu family's mansion.
The big orange seemed to wake up, and when night fell before, he fell asleep in Zheng Li'er's arms, and the noise just now did not wake him up, and the cat rubbed his eyes at this time.
"Zheng Da Devil, why don't you take Xu Lang away, this kid is really miserable, and the cat master can't help but leave a few cat tears when he hears it. ”
After walking through the crowd, turning a few small roads, and walking forward along a wide road for a while, Xu Lang stopped in front of a mansion.
A few people looked up, there was a door plaque hanging on the door of the mighty house, the materials were extremely extraordinary, and the workmanship was even more exquisite.
There are two words written on it, Xu Fu!
