Chapter 439: Stepping Stones
There were ten people squeezed in from outside the crowd, and looking at the clothes on their bodies, they were all together, but these people were dressed in a strange way, with the wildness of the tribesmen, but also wearing conspicuous silk clothes like the nobles of the royal city, and they wore reflective and eye-catching silk clothes with patterns on the inside, and a sleeveless brown and yellow animal skin short coat on the outside.
The ten people in this line are very conspicuous, not only because of the way they dress, but also because of the tall one among the ten.
Shao Xuan's Yanjiao people are already tall compared to most people, and the people of the "Black Bear" tribe are a little taller than most of the Yanjiao people, but the people of the "Black Bear" tribe are mainly strong, so they look particularly oppressive. But now, the "black bear" is significantly shorter in front of that person!
The other party's arm is as thick as a stone pillar, and he stands in the crowd like a flock, half a body taller. Not only is he tall but also very strong, standing in front of such a person, it is like facing the thick and strong city wall outside the royal city, such a big man, the timid person will be afraid at the sight, I wonder if he will fall down and crush the person next to him to death?
Some people guessed the identity of the comer, and their brains turned quickly, and they had already deduced from the words of the "black bear" just now.
"Lin Lu Tribe, Lu Family, that big guy can't be Lu Bi, right?"
"Lu Bi?" is the Lu Bi who was rumored to be able to kill a bear with a hammer a while ago?" someone exclaimed.
When he heard "kill the bear with a hammer", the eyebrows of "Black Bear" and Mao Da couldn't help but raise again and again. The color of uncertainty is stronger. What are you shouting about? When I hear this sentence in such a situation, I always feel that something is wrong, as if it is a provocation. I was very unhappy.
"It turns out that Lu Bi looks like this. "There are still people talking. The tone sounded excited and a little regretful. I was excited to finally meet a real person, and unfortunately, the real person was a little disappointing.
Lubi is known as the talented person of the Linlu tribe for hundreds of years, and it is said that he is tall and born with divine power, so the Linlu tribe also specially entrusted the people of the Ji family to ask the craftsman to create a big copper hammer for him. It is rumored that Lu Bi can kill a giant bear with a hammer!
Because the Linlu tribe moved to Wangcheng, it caused heated discussions among the people in Wangcheng. In order to brush up on the sense of existence, the people of the Lu family naturally spread all the outstanding talents and deeds of the tribe, and the name of Lu Bi was naturally known to everyone. The people of Wangcheng still wanted to see what Lu Bi looked like, whether he was like a demon god beast, with one arm like an elephant's leg, holding a huge copper hammer like a house. It's a pity that you can step out of a pool with one foot. I hadn't seen Lu Bi's face before, and the people of the Lu family hadn't completely moved over.
But now, everyone knows that the main personnel of the Lu family have moved to Wangcheng, and the person in front of him, who is a lot taller than the "black bear" Bei Mi, is the legendary Lu Bi!
Although it is a little worse than what I imagined, there is still a little resemblance to the rumors. Enough of the people of Wangcheng, who lacked entertainment, have been talking about it for a long time.
Lu Bi's long-handled copper hammer, the tip of the hammer is like a date. There were also some dents of different shades on it, which were the traces left by the battle, I don't know if it was left by man or beast, anyway, when you look at the hammer, you know that this person is not easy to deal with. Although Lubi's hammer is not as big as a house as people think, it can also be used as an umbrella to protect from the rain, and wielding such a solid copper hammer is not an easy job, let alone using it as a weapon.
As Lu Bi and a few people came over, Shao Xuan and Guangyi looked quite strong, but now compared to Lu Bi, they looked thin, of course, those onlookers, including a few other people from the Linlu tribe, were even more unbearable next to Lu Bi, and they were as thin as firewood.
However, it was not Lu Bi who spoke just now, but a relatively gentle young man who walked in the front, and the other party always looked at people with a cold mockery, and with his words, he looked a little arrogant.
The "Linlu Tribe" in the words of "Black Bear" just now made these people unhappy, and the young man who walked in front looked at "Black Bear" with cold eyes.
In their opinion, the word "tribe" sounded too earthy, and now everyone followed the example of the people of the six nobles, no longer calling themselves tribals, but transforming into a family with a surname, and striving to become a nobleman. In the royal city, when greeting or introducing themselves, most of them are from the X family and the XX family, who still says that the XX tribe? Finally, the Linlu tribe has transformed into what it is today, and it was ridiculed in person?
"The caravan is the caravan's people, no pursuit, vulgar!" The other party's cold face was three points of ridicule and seven points of arrogance.
"Black Bear" narrowed his eyes, "Yes, you have a pursuit, I heard that the people of the Linlu tribe are rushing to come to the royal city as slaves? It just so happens that in the fields outside the royal city, the grain is ripe, and they need someone to help collect it, maybe in a few days, you will have work to do, and the pay for the work is not low, enough for you to eat one or two meals." ”
There were sparks in the air, and it seemed like it could explode at the touch of it.
The voices of the onlookers around were quiet, but no one left, and after a short time after leaving, they ran back again, and brought relatives and friends to watch, one was to watch Lu Bi, and the other was to see that there was a quarrel here, maybe there would be a fight, they couldn't miss this opportunity.
On one side are the people of the Black Bear Caravan, and on the other side are the Lu family of the Linlu tribe who have newly moved to the royal city, there are only four people on one side, and there are ten on the other, if there is a real fight, which side will win?
Some people have already secretly speculated that bets have been made, and people on the periphery have even gotten together to place bets.
"Why, you're here to test your sword too, do you have the guts, do you have the strength?"
The young man standing at the front raised his chin, "Not bad." As he spoke, he took another step towards the sword test stone, and looked at the crowd around him, "Lu family Lu Ming, come and test the sword!"
A person next to Lu Ming also walked out: "Lu Peng, come and try the sword!"
Lu Bi, who was carrying a sledgehammer, grinned and showed his white teeth: "Lu Jia Lu Bi, come and try the sword!"
......
Ten people in a row, reporting their names one after another, it is not like they were reported for the purpose of testing the sword. It's more like saying it to the people around you. It's just pretending.
"You people from the Black Bear Caravan, get out of here if you're done, and get out if you're not done. Now it's our turn!" Lu Ming said as he looked at the "black bear".
Two words "roll" in a row, so angry that the "black bear" was about to explode all over his body, he hated others shouting the word "roll" to him the most, if it was elsewhere, he would have drawn his knife and cut it, just like yesterday on the dirt road outside. But this is the door of Gongjia's house, and he has just successfully tried his sword. is qualified to ask Gong Jia Heng to help build a weapon, if it is because of a fight, Gong Jia Heng will be angry. What if you refuse? Just waste a great opportunity for such a few doglegs? "Black Bear" is unwilling.
Moreover, now that the "Black Bear" is bringing Shao Xuan and them over, he doesn't want to implicate Shao Xuan, and he will rely on Shao Xuan to go to Jiju tomorrow. If Shao Xuan is injured. Tomorrow's plans will have to be scrapped too.
The "black bear" endured his anger, his face was gloomy and changeable, and his eyes staring at the side of the Linlu tribe were like substance, like a knife thrown over.
It's a pity that a few people from the Linlu tribe don't take it seriously at all.
Shao Xuan watched the successive movements of the people of the Linlu tribe from the side, and he had a bottom in his heart. The goal of these ten people is not to test the sword. Or rather, maybe come over to try the sword at first. But after seeing the "black bear", he changed his mind and targeted the four of them.
Originally, after the "black bear" sword test was completed, when he heard the other party's words, Shao Xuan thought that it was someone who didn't have long eyes and didn't recognize the "black bear", so he said that, but now it seems that these people clearly know the "black bear".
Looking at it this way, all their actions, all their words, are deliberate, just to provoke the "black bear"?
No, often hunting in the mountains and forests, Shao Xuan is very sensitive to the changes in the breath of people and beasts, and he can feel that the comer is not good. These people from the Linlu tribe really want to fight!
Shao Xuan guessed correctly, Lu Ming's plan was like this, it was originally to test the sword, but after discovering that the "Black Bear" was also there, he changed his mind, there were only four people on the "Black Bear" side, and there were no other black bear caravans around, while there were ten on their Lu family's side, a rare opportunity!
In a place like Wangcheng, no, not only Wangcheng, but everywhere else, if you want to gain a foothold, you have to show your strength, and in order to show your strong strength to the people around you, if you want to gain a foothold in such a new place, the best thing is of course to find a stepping stone!
That's the rule!
And this stepping stone can't be too small, otherwise it won't stand on it steadily, and it can't be too big, which will be counterproductive. Therefore, almost at the first glance, Lu Ming set his eyes on the "black bear" who was trying his sword. "Black Bear" is famous, and he is not a nobleman in the royal city, it is a very suitable stepping stone!
Lu Ming's eyes flashed with a strange light, it seemed to be an impulsive provocation just now, but in fact, he also had a purpose, when he came over, they had already planned, as long as they came according to the plan, the stepping stone of "Black Bear", they Lu family, step on it!
Lu Peng and the others next to him were still provoking, Mao Da was already angry, although he knew that the other party intended to provoke, but in front of everyone, he continued to endure it, where is the face of their "black bear" caravan?
So, the "black bear" raised his hand to block it, motioned for Shao Xuan and them to stand behind, and then pulled out a wide copper knife: "Since you are looking for death, I will reward you!"
Over there, Lu Ming's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand and waved it down, while the other nine people around him also moved.
Ten people, divided into four groups, rushed up in a three-three-three-one manner.
Everyone thought that the first to face the "black bear" was naturally the tallest Lubi of the Linlu tribe, and the one who could resist the "black bear" had the greatest chance. But no one expected that Lu Bi, who was wheeled with a long-handled copper hammer, was alone, and rushed directly to the target of Shao Xuan!
It is similar to the strategy used by predators living in wild groups to hunt, first to break up the prey group, and then to pick the old, weak, sick and the sick among them.
To bully more and to bully less? Despicable and shameless?
No, there's no such thing here, they call it a strategic siege.
Sometimes, even if the combat power of the two sides is balanced at the beginning, as long as the balance is slightly broken, it will be out of control. And the one that breaks the balance, from the point of view of nature's strategy, the simplest, is, of course, to start with the weakest.
In the plan of the ten people of the Linlu tribe, it is easy to pick the weakest of the target four. Needless to say, the black bear is excluded! Mao Da is a deputy, and his strength will naturally not be low, so rule it out! Among the remaining two, the older guy has too strong killing intent in his eyes, and he is not easy to mess with at first glance, so rule it out! So, there is only one left, this young man who doesn't seem to be a big deal, should be the weakest of the four, didn't you see that the "black bear" was still blocking him before he did it just now?
That's it!(To be continued......)
PS: The next one is a little later.
