Chapter Sixty-Seven: Salute First and Soldiers Later

As soon as these people came up, they stood in front of the shopkeeper and faced Xiao Rui and the others. It was like a group of fierce beasts facing their prey, and it seemed that as long as the shopkeeper gave an order, they could tear Xiao Rui and the three of them to pieces. The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Rui and said proudly: "How about it?" Think about it clearly, is it to lose money or accompany the parts?" Xiao Rui's face was as usual: "You better retreat, that plate is not our fight, you go to whoever beats it." And you can't take care of his business, so don't ask for trouble. ”

The shopkeeper's eyes immediately widened: "Boy, it's really a toast and don't eat and drink, if you don't want to give you a chance, then don't blame me for being ruthless." Come on, they don't know their parents who beat me, and if they break anything again, it's on their heads!"

Xiao Rui was actually angry, this shopkeeper is really stubborn. He had already said it so clearly, but he still had to come in. It seems that if he doesn't find some ground for the man named Ma Gongzi, he won't be able to get over today. It seems that it is not possible to teach them a lesson. But Xiao Rui hadn't moved yet, when he saw that the big men who were about to pounce suddenly had dull eyes, and turned around and held down the shopkeeper and beat him.

Xiao Rui glanced at Luo Hong, and could only smile bitterly and shake his head. Then he said, "Don't kill anyone." Then just wait and see. This is in Baita City, Xiao Rui's hometown, he doesn't want to kill people as soon as he comes back, and besides, this little thing is not worth killing.

The shopkeeper was beaten by a few of his own subordinates and cried for his father and called his mother, and he didn't listen to how he scolded those people, and secretly screamed that there was a ghost in his heart. The young man and his two attendants were also stunned by this scene. The surrounding guests couldn't understand it, and those big men were obviously called by the shopkeeper, saying that they wanted to teach the three young people a lesson, but how did they get the shopkeeper here? Could it be that in these years, they have set an example and told people that they would not be beaten up if they made mistakes? Then it is really not easy for the shopkeeper!

When he was making a mess upstairs, he suddenly heard a chaotic sound on the stairs, and more than a dozen people came up from downstairs. As soon as these dozen people came up, they immediately blocked the staircase. And formed an encirclement around Xiao Rui and the three of them, surrounding the three of them. Xiao Rui glanced out of the window out of the corner of his eye, and found that the street downstairs was also surrounded by people, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart.

The first one was in his forties, wearing a purple brocade robe and a purple eight-lined hat on his head. The complexion is ruddy, with a pair of red phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a short beard under the chin. This person's appearance is very similar to that Ma Gongzi, but his complexion is much better than that of Ma Gongzi.

The man was followed by a man in his thirties, dressed in a brown cotton robe and wearing an animal-skin hat on his head. The complexion is slightly darker and the body is muscular. The facial features are sharp and angular, and the eyes are shining.

The person at the front first glanced at Ma Gongzi, who was covering his face, snorted coldly, and then slowly walked towards Xiao Rui and the others, but Ma Gongzi didn't dare to say a word. Xiao Rui knew at a glance that the one who could call the shots was coming, so he motioned to Luo Hong to stop. Luo Hong stuck out his tongue, and then the few big men who were struggling to teach the shopkeeper a lesson stopped. The shopkeeper immediately ran to the side, looking at the people around him, his eyes were full of horror, and he didn't know what else would happen.

At this time, the man walked to Xiao Rui's table and arched his hand: "The three little friends are invited, I don't know why the dog offended the three." The lord of this city has made amends for his sins first. Xiao Rui had also stood up: "It turned out that the city lord had arrived." Is that the son of the city lord's family? It's really disrespectful and disrespectful! Actually, it's nothing, it's just a misunderstanding. Then, he gave a general account of what had happened.

As he was talking, two more people came up downstairs, but it was the guy and a middle-aged man, the middle-aged man was still carrying a medicine box in his hand, and he thought it was Wang Miao's hand. That Wang Miao came upstairs in his hand, and when he saw that the city lord was stunned at first, he hurriedly bowed his hand. The city lord didn't speak, just waved his hand, and Wang Miaoshou began to show Ma Gongzi the injury, and started to rub the medicine to treat it.

After listening to what Xiao Rui said, the city lord's face became gloomy. Turning his head and asking the young man, "What this little friend said is the truth?" The young man nodded very obediently and said, "That's it." ”

The city lord nodded, turned around, and said to Xiao Rui with a smile on his face: "Since it was the dog who offended his friend first, then the city lord will accompany the three on behalf of the dog, I wonder if the three can forgive the dog for the offense?"

Xiao Rui and the three of them looked at each other, they didn't expect that this city lord had brought so many people, they thought that they were coming to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, but they actually took the initiative to apologize, or apologized to the three juniors as the dignified city lord! The three of them immediately stood up and returned the salute and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." It's a misunderstanding, where do you dare to bother the city lord to apologize. There is something wrong with us, so please bear with me. ”

Seeing that the three of them finished speaking, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and he said in a deep voice: "In that case, the three of them accepted the old man's apology, and this matter is over?" Xiao Rui replied: "Of course, of course." The city lord continued: "Since this matter has been revealed, the old man will not mention it again. However, the dog spits phlegm on your table, and you wipe it with his face. But don't you have an explanation for the injury on the dog's face?"

Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "This is easy to say, I will pay for your son's consultation." If I still need to recuperate later, I can pay more for the medicine in advance. ”

"Hahahaha....... The city lord actually looked up to the sky and laughed: "How much do you pay for the consultation?" Xiao Rui was stunned again, this is really hard to say, he doesn't know much about this aspect, and it seems that Wang Miaoshou's consultation fee should not be low. But after thinking about it again, the Ma Gongzi was just a bruise on his face, and it shouldn't cost much, so he flicked his wrist, took out ten gold coins from the storage ring, put them on the table, and asked, "I don't know if these are enough?"

Ten gold coins is definitely a lot of wealth for ordinary people. Many poor families don't spend a few gold coins a year. Even if Wang Miaoshou is called the number one divine doctor in Baita City, the usual consultation fees are settled in silver coins. What's more, this time it was only a little skin trauma treated. Therefore, the people on the second floor felt that Xiao Rui was generous enough.

The city lord looked down at the gold coins on the table, and laughed again: "Hahaha...... Boy, do you think I'm here for you to make so much money? Look outside, every grass and tree, brick and tile in this White Tower City, that is not my horse's own? In Baita City, my horse wants gold, but I don't want as much as I want. Do I still care about your ten gold coins?"

Xiao Rui and the three finally understood at this time, it turned out that they were really asking for guilt, but they seemed to be called salutes before soldiers, so you had nothing to say. Xiao Rui was no longer polite at this time: "In that case, I don't know how the city lord wants us to explain?"

As soon as the city lord was about to speak, the sturdy man who followed him stepped forward and said to the city lord, "Lord of the city, I have not yet presented a greeting to the lord when I came down to the White Tower City. Today, let's use the heads of these three boys as a gift. The first is to let the adults see our strength! The second is to let the adults see our sincerity!"

The city lord's face sank slightly: "I have already heard of your strength, but it seems inappropriate to show sincerity with the heads of these three kids." ”

The sturdy man asked, "My lord, what's wrong?" The city lord said, "These three people are now in White Tower City, and for me, they are in the bag. But your family's treasures are world-famous, and if you use your family's treasures to show your sincerity, this city lord will definitely consider your conditions!"

The two of them actually chatted here, and they didn't take Xiao Rui and the three of them seriously at all. It seems that it is really like what the city lord said, he has long regarded the three of them as his bag, and feels that the lives of the three have long been in his hands.

But Xiao Rui heard another piece of information from their conversation at this time, the city lord said that the treasure of the man's family is world-famous, and such a family seems to be the only one in the Renault family of the Faro Empire. But if this person is from the Renault family, then he belongs to the Faro Empire. What can a person from the Faro Empire do when he comes to the Holy Heaven Empire and finds a city lord? It seems that the two are still talking about what conditions.

Xiao Rui was thinking in his heart, and the sturdy man had already said: "What the lord said is true? Okay, as long as the lord agrees to send troops, then I will immediately show the head of the family, and I will definitely get a treasure for the lord!"

This sturdy man seemed to be a little overjoyed, and when he heard the words of the city lord, he intended to agree to their conditions, but he directly said what they wanted from the city lord.

The city lord's face tightened, he turned his head to look at the people upstairs, looked back at the man and said, "Be careful when you speak, it's not time to really send troops yet." ”

The man seemed to realize that he had leaked his mouth at this time, and seeing that there were so many guests on the second floor, he was afraid that the secret between them would not be kept, so he hurriedly asked, "My lord, what should I do then?"

The city lord snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, in Baita City, the people of my Ma family can't suffer a little grievance. These wastes, since they saw that the people of my Ma family were beaten, they couldn't spread the news. Otherwise, if someone knows that my son has been beaten, where will my face go? Not to mention that they have heard what they heard about calcium supplements. ”

Hearing the words of the city lord, the guests on the second floor immediately made a mess and hurriedly ran to the staircase. As he ran, he secretly regretted that when he first saw the fight over there, he should have left early with those who left. I didn't expect that if I wanted to see the excitement, I had to put my life on the line, how unjust it would be if I died so much.

Before the guests reached the staircase, the samurai who had come up with the lord were already holding their swords. The city lord didn't look back, just waved his hand: "None will be left!" When the warriors heard the city lord's order, they immediately raised their swords and slashed at the guests.

Xiao Rui and the three of them were really angry, they didn't expect this city lord to be such a vicious person. looked polite at first, but I didn't think that he was so ruthless, for the sake of his own face, even a group of ordinary people who watched the excitement had to be killed, it was really inhumane!

Xiao Rui saw that those warriors were about to slash and kill the guests, and he shouted: "Stop!" The warriors immediately stood still, holding steel swords in their hands.

Xiao Rui pointed at the city lord and said hatefully: "As the lord of a city, the people in the city are not your people, but for your own selfish desires, you actually want to kill so many innocent people, I really don't know how many evil things you have done on weekdays." Today, I will kill you, a wicked man, on behalf of the emperor!"

When the city lord saw that Xiao Rui just shouted, he stopped his samurai, and his heart was slightly surprised. But when he heard Xiao Rui's words, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha...... Now that you know that they are my people, I am in charge of their fate. As for the place you said to replace Duan Yuhai? Haha, can you replace it? For so many years, the old man has worked hard to maintain law and order in this White Tower City, and the White Tower City has become more and more prosperous. But what did he Duan Yuhai give to the old man? Just because you hairy boy still want to kill me on his behalf, hmph, I'm not afraid to tell you, it won't be long before I will kill the Holy Heaven City and attack his palace! Kill me! Leave no one behind!"

The last shout of the city lord immediately woke up the samurai. The warriors raised their steel swords again and slashed at the guests.
