Chapter Twenty-Six: The Horse Thief Arrives
At dusk the next day, the sun was setting, the sky was gloomy, and Tianhua Town was still full of people coming in and out, and it was peaceful. At this time, outside the city gate of Tianhua Town, hundreds of people galloped towards Tianhua Town on fast horses. They look so strong, so mighty, so cruel, like a bunch of bad guys.
Sure enough, they were simply vicious, they killed people indiscriminately, they took everything valuable when they saw them, and pulled them directly on horseback when they saw women, without mercy.
Some people want to resist, but their cultivation is low, at most it is just a refining level, for this group of people, it is simply a dish, they don't care at all, they can easily pinch them to death.
When pedestrians in the distance saw this group of people, they knew that this group of people were horse thieves, the horse thieves that people were most afraid of.
"The horse thief is coming, everyone run away. ”
As soon as the people who went out heard the horse thief, they quickly turned around and ran towards the city, each of them was very frightened, and ran desperately to the city, hoping to escape their clutches before the horse thief did not chase them, but fortunately it was getting late now, and there were not many people going out at all, otherwise they would have suffered, and this small city gate could not withstand the crowding of so many people.
There were still some people outside the city gate who didn't run fast enough and were directly killed by horse thieves, and some people even saw the city gate closed, and they didn't have time to go in at all, so they were left outside the city gate.
As soon as the people on the street heard that the horse thief was coming, everyone immediately ignored their own things, ran away, and fled in a hurry. Running home or fleeing to some places that are easy to avoid, in a moment, the street is panicked, noisy, and even many people are directly trampled to death and injured.
They all know that this reality is too terrifying, if they don't run faster, they will be caught by horse thieves, and the end of being caught is directly worse than death.
Who doesn't know the ferocity of horse thieves, they are simply not people, they are beasts, pigs and dogs are inferior, they rob houses, burn and rob, do all kinds of evil, see women directly rape, men as long as they see the eyesore directly kill, see disobedient, kill, resist, kill, all valuable things directly robbed over.
Their behavior is directly chilling and terrifying, how many people want to resist, but who dares to resist, their strength is not easy to provoke.
People know that the strength of the horse thief boss is the strongest, and his strength has reached the rank of a soldier, which is unthinkable to ordinary people, who dares to provoke them, isn't this asking for a dead end?
You must know that the strongest person in Tianhua Town is the chief guard here, but he only has the strength of the refining level, what to fight with others, if the Li family does not transfer the people of the battle rank, then these horse thieves will dare to run rampant, you must know that within the jurisdiction of each family, as long as there are people in the battle rank, they will be directly transferred to the imperial capital as guards, or go to join the army, you know, every year several major families will send some strong people to join the army, and these ordinary people can also join the army.
So the strong people left, and then the only people left were these ordinary people, so of course they had no power to resist these horse thieves.
In a matter of moments, all the people on the street disappeared without a trace, whether it was merchants, pedestrians, hawkers, beggars, all at once, and the street was in chaos, and everything was messed up.
If you listen carefully, you can also hear the sound of breathing in some small corners, the breathing is so fast, and there are even small sobs, which cannot be blamed on them, who made these horse thieves famous for their murder, and they are so cruel, who is not afraid?
It didn't take long for the horse thieves to break through the city gate and rode directly into the gate of Tianhua Town, and a group of people led by a middle-aged man in a black robe walked into the city gate.
"You listen to me, you guys work in groups of three, give me a careful collection of every corner of Tianhua Town, I won't say the rules, you are not newcomers, you know what to do, remember to bring back all the valuable things, if you see a better goods for Lao Tzu to keep, it is Lao Tzu's dish, do you know? All we need here is a few of us, and for the rest, I'll do it now. ”
The middle-aged man shouted to the people below, and directly ordered them to collect people in different corners. Everyone took their weapons and torches and put them away in different directions, just like a devil entering the village, and suddenly the chickens and dogs jumped, and there were flames everywhere, obviously they had already started to set fire.
In a moment, many people were caught by them, and some were even killed directly, the current situation is so terrifying and cruel, how many people's shouts, cries, shouts, and scolding, all of a sudden made the originally quiet Tianhua Town lively, but this kind of excitement makes people feel cold, feel cold, and feel resentful.
Li Aocheng and the three beggars were also hiding in a remote corner at this time, when everyone began to flee, Li Aocheng didn't have time to react, and was almost trampled to death, but fortunately, he was directly carried away by the three people in an instant, when he saw the old man holding him, he was very curious why Grandpa Li, who usually looked weak, had so much strength, and there were two grandfathers Long, even if he was thin, he had seventy or eighty pounds, they were so old old men, they actually picked themselves up all of a sudden, and they ran away effortlessly holding themselves.
Although they have nothing, they are also afraid, they have also seen horse thieves, they are also survivors of their fall, knowing their horror, they still want to live, and they do not want to die now.
However, Li Aocheng is naturally hiding with the three old beggars in a corner now, although Li Aocheng is not afraid, but he has no strength, let alone unable to resist these people.
Li Aocheng stood up and looked at the surrounding environment, and suddenly had a plan, he immediately ran out, completely ignoring the shouts of the three behind him.
It didn't take long for Li Aocheng to come back after he went out, and he was tired and sweating profusely, obviously he went to do something, which made the three people behind him very curious.
"Xiaofeng, what did you do just now. ”
"Wait a minute, whatever you hear, don't make a sound, and it's as if it didn't happen. ”
Li Aocheng said to the three people behind him, and warned them that the drug disorder would occur, obviously afraid that they would ruin their plans.
"Yes, but, wouldn't it be very unsafe for you to do this, I just saw the things you did, did you set a trap for them, if you can't kill them like this, then we will be miserable. ”
They also knew what Li Aocheng was thinking, so they reminded him not to act recklessly.
"Anyway, I can't control it, they are a bunch of scum, I don't teach them a lesson, they still think my house is a soft eggplant, wait a minute, as long as they fall into the trap I set, we will immediately rush out and kill them, rest assured that they are a group of three, there are four of us, enough to pay them more." ”
"Xiao Feng, but they are cultivators, even if they fall into the trap you set, as long as they don't die, we still can't beat them, and besides, we old men don't have the courage or strength at all. ”
"It's okay, wait a minute, as long as they fall into the trap I set, they will be half dead if they don't die, and besides, their strength is not very strong, as soon as they are injured, it will be a piece of cake for us to deal with them. ”
"Okay, we'll listen to you, and we'll gamble with you. ”
It didn't take long for the voice of the horse thief to be heard, and there were quite a few people behind them, but they were all tied with ropes, and they did not dare to make a sound, and only tears were seen on their faces, these people were obviously captured by them.
They also carried a large box containing a lot of valuable things, which they obviously used to hold their belongings, and they put down the box, and then tied the rope in their hands to the big tree next to it.
"Xiao Jiu, you two go in and collect it, I'm looking at this group of people here, the environment here looks better, there will definitely be good things. One man said to the other two.
"No, I'm going to go to you, I'm watching them here. ”
The other man apparently disagreed.
"Okay, they're all tied here, let's go in together, they can't run anyway, and it's okay to go in together. I'm sure there will be unexpected good things here. ”
The man who had not spoken for a moment opened his mouth and said, he didn't want the two of them to go in, so he simply went in together.
"Ah~"
The three of them had not gone far before they suddenly screamed, screaming so miserably, and they knew how painful they were when they heard the cry.
"Rush, kill them. ”
Immediately heard Li Aocheng's shouting, the three old beggars and Li Aocheng quickly rushed in the direction of the shout, and in a moment the people outside only heard the screams of the three people, and they were immediately extremely excited, because they knew that these guys were not having a good time now, and they might have died.
The three old beggars were still beating the three horse thieves, apparently as if they were afraid that they would not be killed, the horse thieves were dead, and they kept beating.
"Alright, stop fighting, they're dead. Don't pretend to be with Young Master Ben anymore, I already know your identity, so don't pretend in front of Young Master Ben anymore, do you really think that you are well disguised? Young Master Ben has already seen you, but he didn't know your purpose earlier. ”
Li Aocheng said breathlessly, obviously he already knew the true identities of the three of them
