Chapter Seventy-Four: The Choice of the Crowd
Although Yuan Lixun is not a person from Tianluo Kingdom. But under the love house and Wu, her face is not good-looking, and Kairongguo is really too deceitful to do this.
Moreover, she also knew very well why He Yiming was so angry.
Since Kairong has even used the army, how can it hide it.
This kind of thing, maybe the high-level of Tianluo Kingdom has seen it clearly, but no one has stood up to speak at all.
At this moment, He Yiming sighed in his heart, the country is weak and is bullied, this is indeed a wise saying.
His gaze swept around, and everywhere he looked, the vendors here looked nervous, and the few female children were even more crowded together, and there was an unconcealed horror in their eyes.
When He Yiming saw these gazes, he felt as if he had been stabbed by something.
These...... They are all the people of Tianluo Kingdom, and they are the people who live under the protection of Shui Xuanjin and him.
Their worries and fears about the future made He Yiming feel an inexplicable anger. This emotion came from nowhere, but it slowly spread until it filled his heart.
The two young men who were in charge of monitoring them suddenly shuddered, and their eyes looked at the tent where He Yiming lived. I remembered the bone-chilling chill I felt when the curtain was just opened.
They also thought that they felt cold because the tent was cold. It's just that there is a puzzled question lingering in their hearts. How did the three of them stay in such a cold tent.
※※※※
Finally, many fast horses listened more than a hundred meters away from the camp.
As they approached the camp, their movements became less uniform. It's just that even though they seem to be extremely casual, He Yiming knows that this is just a deliberate act on their part.
This group of people is definitely a well-trained team that enforces orders and prohibits. It is also a powerful team that can only be trained in the barracks.
Xu Su and the others had already formed a circle around their carriage outside, although this may not be able to play a big role, but it is better than nothing.
Seeing them stop, Xu Su felt a little relieved and said, "Brothers, we are a small caravan from Kairong Country, passing through your land, and there is filial piety to offer. ”
A spear suddenly flew out of the camp, cut a bright line in the air, reached dozens of meters away, and slanted into the front of the leader of the horse thieves.
On top of the spear, there was a package. It's not huge, but it looks heavy.
What is contained in it must be yellow and white, and the number is not too small.
He Yiming's heart moved slightly, Xu Su was indeed sophisticated. It was obviously not the first time he had dealt with something similar, and he behaved properly, using both soft and hard, neither humble nor arrogant.
If they encountered a horse thief similar to the Red Turban Thief before, and it wasn't led by those few peak masters of the tenth layer of internal strength, maybe it would really make it easy for them to pass the level.
After all, judging from the strength shown on that spear, at least he has a cultivation of more than eight layers of internal strength.
For these ordinary one or two hundred centaur thieves, if they want to kill such a master, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses.
However, there was a thunderous laugh from the other side, and there was an indescribable taste of contempt in that voice, like a man on top looking at a beggar on the side of the road, full of disdain and contempt.
"Listen to the people inside, hand over half of the goods, and leave all the women behind, and let you live. ”
In the caravan, there was an uproar......
Yuan Lixun's face turned cold, and he said, "It's too much, they are going to kill them all." The tone paused. She said: "What do the troops of Kairong think, aren't they afraid of scaring people out, and there will be no more traders to take this road?"
He Yiming snorted coldly and said, "The merchants of Tianluo Country are gone, but the merchants of Kairong Kingdom are still there." ”
Yuan Lixun suddenly looked around, and met the eyes of those women and children, and her heart became more and more annoyed.
Xu Su's face was gloomy and frightened, and suddenly, a big fat man came to his side cautiously after a lot of hard work, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xu, how is it?"
Xu Su shook his head slightly, and said in a low, inaudible voice: "It's not good, it's a big trouble." ”
Zhang Facai was shocked and said, "There are only more than 200 of them. ”
"Their two hundred men are much more powerful than our rabble here. Xu Su said coldly: "We have been friends for decades, listen to me, take your people, lose the goods, and escape later while the chaos is in chaos." ”
Zhang Facai's body trembled, the fat on his face trembled, and said, "What about you?"
Xu Su smiled miserably and said, "Since I have eaten this bowl of rice that licks blood from the knife edge, what else can I do." ”
A fierce light flashed in Zhang Facai's little eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Let's go together." ”
Xu Su shook his head slightly, and said categorically: "You can go, I can't." A rare look of madness suddenly appeared in his eyes: "If you want me to die, I will also let them leave enough to pay ......"
Zhang Facai sighed. He knew that Xu Su had the intention to die and could not be persuaded to come back. And what Xu Su said is also right, since he has chosen this path, if he escapes today, he will never be able to raise his head in front of others in the future.
He moved his fat body back to his tent, and glanced at the precious goods, which were full of reluctance, but when he withdrew his gaze, there was no longer the slightest hint of affection, as if those things did not belong to him.
※※※※
In the distance, it seems that I am impatient to wait.
The leader of the thieves suddenly shouted, "Give me shameless things, and if you don't hand over people and things, I will kill you and leave no armor." ”
He raised the big knife in his hand high, and a voice like thunder erupted: "Kill ......"
Behind him, more than 200 people raised their weapons together, and the point of the blade pointed far away was the camp here.
"Kill. ”
The furious sound formed a huge wave that hovered over the camp.
Suddenly, the camp was silent. After seeing the rainbow-like momentum of others, no one would think that Xu Su and the others would be able to resist it.
Even if he had followed Xu Su for more than ten years, the old man who was full of confidence in him was shaken at this moment.
Anyone knows that when this group of people rushes over, it is absolutely unstoppable. And their humble cart defense, in the eyes of others, may not even be a little obstacle.
"Wow......" A loud cry suddenly rang out from the camp.
Although there were not many of these traders with their families, the number of women and children did not exceed forty. But at this time, some people couldn't stand it anymore and cried bitterly.
In an instant, the miserable atmosphere spread throughout the camp, and the already panicked atmosphere spread unlimitedly.
Xu Suxin is not good. But to his surprise, the cavalry on the opposite side did not take this opportunity to kill, but a mocking laughter came from that direction. It was as if they had never been worried about this operation, and they didn't bother to sneak attack.
Xu Su sighed, he smiled bitterly, and looked up at the sky, the fame accumulated over decades was about to be wasted today.
He looked into the distance, and in this dim world, he seemed to see his wife and children waiting for his safe return in front of his distant home.
His mouth squirmed slightly, and little by little, he drew his sword.
From his body, the most powerful momentum in his life soared.
"Pass it on, once they attack, everyone should not resist, flee immediately, lose the goods, it is important to save your life, it is a ...... to escape"
The people around him looked at each other, and when Xu Su pulled out his long sword, they all thought that this was the leader's determination to fight to the end. But what Xu Su said surprised them.
One of them took a step forward and said, "Big brother, aren't you horse thieves, if we fight with them, we may not necessarily lose." ”
Xu Su smiled bitterly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Listen to me, go for it." ”
The people around him were silent, but under his gaze, they could only obey the order.
When the last person also left, Xu Su's face became more and more bitter, and he whispered to himself: "The elite of the army of Kairong Country, what are we going to fight with them?"
Suddenly, an unexpected, deep voice sounded in his ears: "Of course it's to fight with your life." ”
Xu Su was taken aback, he turned around suddenly, but saw He Yiming didn't know when. has come to his side. His face changed drastically, didn't he arrange for two people to spy on them, why did he let him come here.
The long sword in his hand was raised, and he said coldly: "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
He Yiming ignored the bright sword in his hand and just walked forward.
Xu Su saw He Yiming's body walking towards him, and saw that the sword in his hand was about to pierce his body. He involuntarily put away his sword, took two steps back, and made way of the passage.
He Yiming stopped when he passed by him and looked at him deeply.
This glance contained a gaze that made Xu Su tremble. Then, he walked out of the carriage circle and stopped more than ten meters in front.
Xu Su looked at He Yiming's back in a daze, and countless thoughts in his heart were fighting fiercely.
Suddenly, he felt something strange around him, and when he looked up, dozens of brothers who followed him through the world and danced the dance of nine deaths on the road between life and death were already reunited by his side.
Although the expressions in everyone's eyes were different, the eyes they looked at themselves were full of trust.
His heart was hot, but he immediately remembered the strength of the regular army of Kairong Country, and the enthusiasm that had just surged up suddenly seemed to be poured cold on his heart.
Taking a deep breath, he waved his hand and said, "You are the same, you are all scattered, and one of them can escape." Remember, ...... to live"
He strode forward, pushed through the crowd, stepped out of the carriage, and came to He Yiming's side.
He Yiming looked at him with a smile and said, "Why are you still alone?"
Xu Su smiled bitterly and said, "They all have families and children, I can't let them die here in vain." ”
He Yiming turned his head and asked with a smile, "So...... What about you?"
Xu Su's teeth were clenched, and there was a faint hint of pain in his eyes.
He Yiming's voice sounded softly in the noisy ridicule, although it was not loud, but it was clearly audible, as if he was speaking close to his ear.
"If even people like you lose the confidence to win. So...... Tianluo Kingdom is really going to lose. ”
Xu Su opened his mouth wide, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. For some reason, he faintly felt that there was a power in He Yiming's words that made him feel excited. The already cold blood in his body seemed to boil again. The body, which was already not young, seemed to be full of strange strength and fighting spirit that did not belong to him.
He turned his head fiercely, looking at the group of cavalrymen in front of him who were like cats and mice, giggling, and his eyes gradually turned red.
Bright red as blood......
※※※※
Behind them, the dozens of men, you look at me, I look at you, they look at each other, some people's eyes flashed, but more people's eyes were filled with a brighter and brighter brilliance.
Finally, a middle-aged man pulled out his waist knife, his waist knife was almost a meter long, and the blade was wide.
He stretched out his thick tongue and licked the blade, and a wisp of bright red liquid flowed down the sharp edge. He smacked his mouth twice, laughed a few times, and swept his gaze over the faces of his companions.
Then, he turned around, strode through the carriage, and followed Xu Su's footsteps.
The original few people whose eyes flickered were swept away by his gaze, and the expressions on their faces suddenly turned blue and red, and the struggle of thoughts in their hearts was unobstructed.
An old man with one eye and one arm let out a sudden sigh, and he lifted a long thing from behind him, and slowly moved out of the carriage, also walking towards it.
He is the fireman in this team, and he has always been in charge of cooking and cooking.
He was a cripple, missing not only an eye and a hand, but also a lame foot.
In the darkness of the night, his steps seemed to be getting more and more difficult. But at this moment, no one dared to laugh at him.
"His Grandma's ......"
An irritable voice pierced the silent night sky, and a man in the prime of life stood up, his face glowing red because he didn't know whether he was excited or afraid.
"It's with a handle, just go with Lao Tzu. ”
His voice was loud and deafening, and then he picked up a large axe almost as tall as he was, and walked forward.
However, before his figure could cross the wheel, a thin figure had already rushed out first, and he rushed to the old fireman's side, like a fart, and held the old man's somewhat trembling body, holding it firmly.
Everyone recognized in an instant that this little guy was an orphan adopted by the old fireman, a thin boy of twelve.
One by one, figures stepped out from behind the carriage, and they silently came behind Xu Su.
Xu Su didn't look back, but if he turned back, then he would definitely be able to know why He Yiming was able to come here silently.
Because, among the people behind him, two of them were the young people he sent out to spy on He Yiming.
At this time, the eyes of these two young people flashed with excitement, their noses twitched nervously, and after standing up with a lot of enthusiasm, they felt this huge pressure, and also produced a powerful momentum of disregard for life.
In their bodies, there is a kind of momentum that looks at death as home.
This atmosphere seemed to be contagious, and the camp that had been in a panic suddenly fell silent.
From behind the cracks in each carriage, there were several pairs of eyes, silently watching all this.
However, not all of them walked out.
After most of the people had stepped out of the carriage, several people looked at each other with an irrepressible look of horror in their eyes.
Silently, they turned and left, and under the cover of the night, they mounted their horses and fled desperately into the distance.
They abandoned their companions, and abandoned the caravans they guarded. In the face of life and death, they chose their lives, even if they were ruined in the future, even if they went away, even if they were despised, and they remained incognito from then on.
But, after all, they survived......
Yuan Lixun looked into the distance, those who fled from here, and her eyes also floated with a trace of sadness.
※※※※
Not far away, the more than two hundred knights looked coldly at He Yiming and the others, who were less than a hundred meters away from them, and they all had cruel and calm smiles on the faces of these knights.
One person said hesitantly: "Unexpectedly, this time I finally saw a few warriors." ”
"Warriors?" the knight leader's voice was cold and without a hint of apology: "Warriors will only be born in the Kairong Kingdom, and what the Tianluo Kingdom needs is not warriors, but cowards who are obedient." ”
This man had a great reputation among the knights, and when he began to speak, no one dared to interject.
Glancing in the direction of the eastern horizon, the knight leader smiled: "The moment the sun rises, we will attack, remember, whoever escapes, do not kill." Those who resisted, I killed them. ”
"Yes. Voices in unison spat out from the mouths of each knight.
The leading knight raised the giant scimitar in his hand, he snorted lightly, and said: "A group of lowly things dare to resist me, I want you to know that anyone who tries to resist the Kairong Kingdom will be reduced to ashes." As for the ...... leader," he laughed, as if he were telling a trivial matter: "I will divide him into five horses." ”
As if sensing the gradually increasing killing intent here, the entire camp fell silent. Most people are at a loss, they can't make up their minds about what to do.
More than a dozen people also stood up, holding their weapons and silently standing outside the big car circle.
It's just that those who can really stand up and stand here don't even have a tenth.
Everyone, at this moment, made a choice.
Finally, the troops in front began to line up, and they seemed to have given up on the intention of dressing up as horse thieves, and more than two hundred horsemen lined up in a neat row.
The distance between the horses and the horses was widened, and anyone who saw this scene could guess.
These are not undisciplined, rampant horse thieves, but elite and well-trained troops.
They, in full view of everyone, slapped the procession, raised the scimitar in the hand of the leading knight, and suddenly shouted violently, and the first row of cavalry shouted and rushed like thousands of horses.
