The fat general's eyes showed a touch of ruthlessness, his eyes widened, he staggered and pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and said angrily: "Where did you come from, do you dare to ask this general if he doesn't respect the king's order, and is he impatient? Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The old man with the cart turned pale with fright, and pleaded: "General, he is just a sturdy partner on my road, and all the wolf dung will be given to you, let him go!"

The fat general's face sank, his flesh trembled, and he said angrily: "Challenge the authority of this general, don't give him thirty military sticks, and this matter will not stop." ”

"Catch him, there's a reward. ”

A dozen or so guards armed with halberds poured up the tower, and their expressions were arrogant, endless sarcasm and ridicule.

"This kid doesn't show a trace of breath, it's definitely a waste. ”

"It's ridiculous to see him wearing a Taoist robe, pretending to be a spiritual cultivator. ”

"He also calls himself a ranger, and I think he's at most a little thief who steals a robe to avoid paying taxes. ”

The soldier at the head waved his halberd and mocked: "Boy, there is a price to pay for meddling, bear the thirty military sticks well, make the general happy, and save your life." ”

Jiang Ling didn't raise his eyes, leaned his back against the stone pillar, exhaled a cool breath, and said disdainfully: "Try it, if you can block my move, I will spare you from death." ”

The fat general raised his eyebrows, frowned, and shouted, "Take him." ”

Most of the soldiers defending the city were brute force and strong people, and they chose to join the army to defend the desolate border because they could not break through the too high realm of spiritual cultivators.

And real spiritual cultivators disdain to do these life-saving jobs, and Taoist schools and sects are often places where talented spiritual cultivators are willing to serve.

The soldier at the head had a mockery on his face, waved his halberd, and shouted: "Don't interfere, Lao Tzu can't believe that he can't suppress an arrogant boy who has no aura." ”

With both hands clenched and wielding the sharp halberd, the brutal strength prompted the halberd to quickly stab at Jiang Ling.

"Babble!"

Just when Jiang Ling was about to avoid the halberd, a figure jumped onto the city tower, eight tails wrapped around many soldiers, and the little fox rushed over angrily, waving the fox tail and knocking all the dozen soldiers to the ground.

The little fox's eyes released red light, bewildering the soldiers led by him, and said angrily: "Whoever dares to hurt my brother, I will die." ”

The fat general felt the powerful aura released by the little fox's body, and he didn't dare to look directly at the red eyes of the little fox, so he collapsed to the ground in fright, begging for mercy: "A powerful demon beast in the solid spirit realm, spare your life." ”

"The solid spirit realm is heavy, and the eight-tailed fox demon beast. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately hit everyone's eyeballs, and the soldiers defending the city shrank back, stunned and did not dare to approach, their whole bodies trembled and trembled.

"Eight-tailed fox, demon beast, it's terrible, everyone be careful. ”

"Demon beasts with the strength of the Solid Spirit Realm, a roar can burst our eardrums, so it's better not to act rashly. ”

The raccoon let go of the bound soldier, retracted the eight fox tails, and wrapped them firmly around the soldier who yelled the fiercest, and roared so loudly that it burst the soldier's eardrums, causing blood to ooze from his ears.

When he opened his mouth wide, bared his fangs, and was about to bite off the throat of the soldier who was bound up, Jiang Ling hurriedly stopped it and shouted: "Little fox, don't kill people, punishment is enough." ”

The little fox had no choice but to withdraw its sharp fangs, return to its human form, raise its small fist, and slam the soldier at the head of the attack, so that the soldier's face was swollen and his mouth was broken, and he was speechless.

"Let you sarcastically mock my brother and kill you. ”

Escaping death and picking up a life, the soldier led by him was so frightened that he hurriedly dropped the halberd in his hand and fell to his knees, unable to speak clearly, as if thanking the little fox for not killing.

The other soldiers were so frightened by the sudden transformation of the fox that they retreated to the staircase of the castle tower, ready to flee at any moment.

The most pitiful thing is the fat general, he wanted to take advantage of the chaos, avoid the attack of the nine-tailed fox fox, and sneak away, but as soon as he stepped out of the city wall, he was seen by Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling quickly cast the ghost shadow trace step, pulled out the bloodthirsty ghost sword, pierced the armor of the fat general with a sword, transferred it back, slammed it to the ground, and sneered: "If you want to run, it will be cheap for you." ”

After casting the aura, everyone saw Jiang Ling's strength clearly, and they were speechless in surprise, with a frightened expression. After a long pause, the fat general's tone changed greatly, and he said respectfully: "The villain doesn't know that your strength has reached the sixth level of the Earth Spirit Mirror, and you have offended the two, please let you live." ”

The sword qi gushed, the three blood lines were full of blood, the corners of Jiang Ling's mouth raised, and the bloodthirsty ghost sword in his hand flew out, quickly approaching the fat general, so frightened that the fat general supported the ground with both hands, retreated in embarrassment, and kept begging for mercy in his mouth: "A good man spare his life, I don't dare anymore." ”

"Invincible Sword!"

The sharp blade of the sword cut through the armor on the fat general's body, cutting off the scimitar in his hand, and hiding the power of the bloodthirsty Netherworld Sword on the spot.

The tip of the sword pierced through the armor, and when it was less than three inches away from the fat heart, it stopped still in front of the fat general, and said disdainfully: "You have to pay for what you said." ”

The fat general looked stunned, collapsed on the ground, held the broken knife in his hand, looked frightened, his expression was embarrassed, and begged for mercy: "Good man spare your life, whatever you want, I promise you." ”

Jiang Ling will accept it when he sees it, and he can't be too embarrassed to defend the generals, otherwise, there will be no one to guard Lonely Mountain City.

He smiled lightly and said, "Return the old man's carriage and goods as they are intact and compensate a bag of gold coins as an apology." ”

"A bag of gold coins? This is too much, right? Goods can be returned, gold coins... Hero, can you change to a bag of silver coins? When the fat general heard that he wanted to pay a bag of gold coins, he suddenly felt a painful feeling of cutting his heart with a knife.

Jiang Ling turned his head, glared at the fat general, and shouted without negotiability: "A bag of gold coins, one less will cut off one of your legs, don't discuss, just do it." ”

The fat general was so frightened that he clenched his legs tightly, for fear that Jiang Ling would be impulsive and really give a sword to cut off a leg. He sighed, beckoned to a soldier, and motioned, "Go and get a bag of gold coins and pay it to the old man." ”

About a sip of liquor, a soldier staggered, panicked back to the city tower with half a bag of gold coins, and said weakly: "General, a few days ago, I was robbed by the soldiers and bandits of the lonely mountain, and only half a bag of gold coins is left, you see, how to deal with it?"

The fat general took half a bag of gold coins, came to Jiang Ling's side in fear, bent down and said, "Good man, look, just this little gold coin, if you don't make do with it, let us go!"

Jiang Ling got the gold coin, threw it to the man guarding the carriage downstairs, and shouted: "Uncle, this is the fee they paid you, take it." ”

The old man grabbed the old horse, and did not see what was happening on the city wall, only to hear the soldiers screaming from time to time. He took the gold coin and knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”

"The sun came out of the west, and this group of greedy defenders confessed and actually lost money to me, an old man. The old man couldn't figure out how Jiang Ling defeated the defenders, but he was very down-to-earth when he got the money.

Jiang Ling asked curiously: "Fat pig, just now the soldier said that he was robbed by the Lonely Mountain soldiers and bandits a few days ago, what is going on?"

was called a fat pig, and the fat general could only dare to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and sighed: "Young man, you have traveled through the rivers and lakes and lived freely, so naturally you can't understand the hardships of our hard-working border guards. ”

"What's the problem?" ”

The fat general stood up, pointed to the raised mountain peak in the distance, and sighed: "Leaving the Lonely Mountain City is equivalent to stepping out of the realm of Chu and entering the outer realm of the Central Capital. However, there was a group of soldiers and bandits living on that peak, who were engaged in robbing merchants on weekdays, and from time to time they attacked Gushan City, demanding money and goods, and slaughtering the city if they did not give it. ”

He paused, then continued, "A few days ago, that group of soldiers and bandits ransacked Lonely Mountain City once, taking most of the tax revenue. We have no choice but to eat and drink, and we have to buy wolf dung to light a beacon fire to drive away the bloody corpses, which can only increase the taxes of the checkpoint. ”

Jiang Ling's eyes were shocked, and he said: "Is there such a thing? At the beginning, I wondered, the King of Chu is politically clear, how can he condone you to do such things, it turns out that there are still these episodes." ”

The fat general sighed and said: "I also learned that the king of Chu is the king of Ming, but the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and he can't control these border places." ”

Jiang Ling asked curiously, "Is there no one to take care of these soldiers and bandits?"

The fat general said helplessly: "You don't know, these soldiers and bandits are not like the usual mountain bandits, they are all composed of strictly trained soldiers, and their vigilance and combat effectiveness are extremely strong, even if the mercenary group team enters the mountains to hunt fierce beasts, they must beware of these bandits from plundering and looting." ”

"Soldiers are not even afraid of the mercenary group composed of spiritual cultivators, they do have some ability, they are not good soldiers, they go to the barren mountains to be soldiers and bandits, why bother?" Jiang Ling asked puzzled.

"But no, three years ago, the capital of Chu was turbulent and the situation was unstable, and the Qin State, a powerful country in the western region of the Shangwu Continent, took the opportunity to send troops to attack the Chu State, and the army pressed the border, and it was in danger. Fortunately, the king of Chu succeeded to the throne and scattered the wealth accumulated by the Chu Ling clan to call on everyone to resist the Qin army and form a powerful anti-Qin army. The two sides fought to the death in Zhongdu, and the blood flowed like a river, and finally due to the unity of the hearts of the people in the Xingqi Continent. drove the Qin army back. ”

The fat general showed a scar on his body and said: "After the battle, the central capital is chaotic, and some soldiers who are dissatisfied with the rule have been bewitched by the evil spirit master, and they do not want to return to the barracks to stay in Xiaogushan to become bandits. ”

When Jiang Ling heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and thought: "It turns out that the soldiers and bandits in Zhongdu were caused by my original impulse, so in this way, I am the sinner." ”

When he learned that Princess Ling Yao was killed by **, he was extremely sad and angry, killed Chu Tianba, destroyed the Nangong family, and angrily disturbed the situation in the capital, and besieged the imperial city with ruffians and hooligans.

Unexpectedly, it would make the Qin State take advantage of the situation, resulting in the hidden danger of soldiers and bandits in the central capital.

When he heard the words 'evil spirit master', his brows furrowed slightly, and he said unhappily: "It's the scum among those spirit cultivators who are endangering pedestrians, it seems that I have to take care of this kind of thing." ”

Evil spirit masters belong to a very special type of people among spiritual cultivators, because when they break through the realm, their minds are uncertain and their aura is unstable, which leads to the unsmooth veins of spiritual energy, so they go crazy and become evil spirit masters who cannot control their consciousness.
