Chapter 170: Robbers
Lu Ming knew that Fenghua City, as the largest city in the entire Qingyuan Continent, was prosperous, and this time the trial competition organized by the Sword Hall would also bring great prosperity to the city.
Where there are people, it means consumption, and there are more people, even if it is the most basic point of eating, drinking, and Lazar, many businesses in this city can make a lot of money.
The Lu family is now developing steadily, and Lu Ming has no intention of doing some more designs, after all, if you do more, it will be more eye-catching, from the perspective of a killer, it is the best now.
"Senior, this time you will participate in the trial competition, you will definitely achieve the top ten in the overall ranking, and don't forget to give your junior brother some advice or two when the time comes!"
"Yes, senior, who in our Maocheng doesn't know, you are a genius who entered the realm of swordsmen at the age of twenty, and you are the first swordsman in our Maocheng, if you don't get a good ranking, senior, God won't agree!" This sentence caused a burst of arrogant laughter.
At this moment, passers-by were also attracted by this burst of laughter, and saw more than a dozen young people dressed in sword clothes surrounding a person who was obviously older than them, this person rode a red high-headed horse, leisurely enjoying everyone's whiskers, and his proud face was dark, but he couldn't cover the cyan beard stubble, and it seemed that because he was too clean, he seemed to have a generation gap with these young people.
Six-edged swordsman. Lu Ming just glanced at it and came to the conclusion that this kind of sword realm could theoretically be ranked in the middle and upper among the participating swordsmen, but it was still too reluctant to get the top ten in Qing Yuanzhou. He was dressed in the same color as the young men, but he looked very nondescript under the stubble.
Attracted attention. These sword students were very excited, and their faces were full of pride: "When the senior once rushed into the sword master at the age of twenty, it caused quite a stir, and at that time, the city lord also sent a congratulatory gift, saying that he has a successor, see? ”
"How can a senior be a city lord? His sword realm has improved by leaps and bounds in the past ten years, and now he is a six-bladed sword master, and he can definitely enter the realm of a great sword master before the age of forty, then he has the qualifications to enter Qing Yuanzhou as an official, and become a small city lord. It's a delay!"
"Young Master. Qing'er frowned. He whispered: "He said that he entered the Sword Master at the age of twenty, and in more than ten years, he has advanced by leaps and bounds to reach the Six-Bladed Sword Master, is he here to participate in the Trial Competition?
"Get carried away. Lu Ming smiled indifferently, and briefly explained to Qing'er the rules of the trial and the way to cheat. Let her be in the trial. You can tell if the other party is cheating in some places. I know what to expect.
Lan Fengyu leaned over and shook his head speechlessly before he said, "Cheating is such a thing." It's okay to know it, and although it's unintentional to say it, it's not very kind. ”
Several vegetable farmers with flat burdens began to be full of admiration, but then turned their heads and left, shaking their heads and sighing all the way: "Now people are blinded by interests!"
At this time, the footsteps of several vegetable farmers were actually faster than a group of light horsemen in front, and this group of knights walked freely, and one of the young men looked back and looked directly at the six-edged sword master.
This person has a fair complexion, very sharp edges and corners, is very handsome, and the clothes he wears look graceful and luxurious, and he is very temperamental. It's just that his expression at this glance is full of coldness, as if the realm of the other party's six-bladed sword master is nothing in his eyes. And the reason why I turned back was because I really couldn't listen to the noise of the people behind.
Lu Ming found that this person was quite young, he looked like he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but the sword realm was already a veritable peak swordsman, and he could indeed be called a good genius.
"Fifth brother, are you going to make trouble again? Remember, it's on the road now, we have to sign up as soon as possible, don't make trouble. ”
At this time, although the voice of a swordsman beside the young man was calm and irresistible, it exuded the taste of youth, and he definitely did not look more than twenty-five years old.
Nine Blades Sword Master. Lu Ming nodded secretly, although this person did not have a sword body, his talent was not much worse than that of Long Lin, and he could be called a genius in one place.
Hearing the young man's words, the young man's face showed a smile that did not match his age, and he looked at the six-bladed sword master very meaningfully before turning his head, as if to say, what is your talent? It won't take me three years to completely catch up with you.
The young man smiled again, and then turned around, and rode after him a few paces, parallel to the young man, and began to talk.
However, at this moment, a group of centaurs suddenly jumped out of the woods, just behind the genius swordsman, intercepted in the middle of the road with an extremely rapid posture, and very skillfully divided the troops into two ways, and the half-encircled formation intercepted the entire road and the nearby groves.
Choking ......
The robbers were just a suspicious one, and the swords in the robbers' hands were brushed out of their sheaths, and the blades of the swords pointed directly at all the people in front of them, and the fierce eyes and hideous faces were matched together, directly spreading a murderous aura.
The sudden emergence of people and horses shocked almost all the pedestrians on the road, and they felt the cold killing intent, and almost most of the people's pores exploded. The caravan captain's carriage was even more disturbed by the murderous spirit of the other party and suddenly became a mess, as if it had hit a train in the mountains, and it was in chaos, and the neighing of people and the neighing of horses were mixed together, and for a time the whole road was affected, but because of the contraction of the crowd, the road was completely blocked.
Even Lu Ming's people were at the back of the caravan, and they were all affected, but everyone's attention was almost in the woods.
Sure enough, after all the robbers had taken their positions, a stout swordsman in the woods walked out with a two-handed broadsword. This person has a wide face, a dark complexion, a wide scar from the forehead to the chin crawls obliquely on the face like a huge earthworm, and the short hair is like a steel needle, erected on the top of the head, but as soon as he sees him, he feels that this person is extremely strong, and the two-handed sword in his hand is flowing with blood.
Octagon Swordsman. Lu Ming had already seen through his sword realm, and at the moment when the person who was obviously the leader of the robbers walked out, a few human feet were also faintly revealed in the grass, just looking at the twisted angle, they definitely did not belong to the living people.
"Looks like they've done a few votes before. Lu Ming glanced at all the robbers indifferently, and found that several robbers had a very shrewd glint in their eyes, and they also chose this location very cleverly. Not only is there no city here, but it is also a detour like an elbow, and now there is obviously an accident, but the people at both ends can hardly see it, and it is far enough away from Fenghua City, if the city patrol comes to the rescue, I am afraid that it will not be able to reach it for most of the day. And the other party's eyes lit up when they saw this caravan, it seemed that they had not planned to rob the caravan before.
"We, have we met robbers?" the Sword of Destruction slammed his eyes.
"Yes. The old sword master nodded, and said expressionlessly: "I didn't expect to meet robbers when I went out this time, I'm really lucky!"
"Huh?" The old sword master and the Sword Saint of Destruction didn't speak loudly, but at this time it was very quiet, and many passers-by beside him who were secretly sighing bad luck all widened their eyes at this moment, turned their heads to look at the two old-timers in a daze, and sighed: "It's been eight lifetimes of bad luck when you meet robbers, and they still say lucky?
For a while, these people subconsciously stayed away from them, but Lu Ming smiled indifferently.
At this moment, Lan Fengyu, who was in the front position, saw the scar on the robber's face and suddenly shrank his neck in fright, and his steps involuntarily retreated.
He had never laughed? Why did he laugh when he saw the robbers? Lan Fengyu suddenly felt distracted, could it be that he had hired an informant for the robbers?
"Do you know this leader?" Lu Ming asked indifferently, but he kept sighing in his heart, these robbers must not have looked at the yellow calendar when they went out, and if they wanted to rob the head of a sword saint, how much luck would it take to meet it?
A faint smile also appeared on Ouyang Luo's cold face, these robbers who looked extremely murderous still felt that they were in control of the situation, right? Later, I don't know what they would think when they knew who they were robbing?
"Huh?" Lan Fengyu's fat face trembled, with a pain that seemed to be that as long as he saw the other party, his goods would not be able to keep it, but he didn't expect Lu Ming to ask like this, it seemed that he didn't know the robber, and he hadn't even heard of this person's murderous name.
"This person's name is Ma Mingshan, and he is the leader of a very famous adventure group in the nearby area in recent years, but this person has no bottom line in doing things, is extremely emotional, everything only depends on his own mood, very ruthless, but he didn't expect to be a robber now. Of course, I've only heard of it, but the scar on his face is his mark, and I won't be mistaken. ”
Lu Ming nodded, although Lan Fengyu was afraid of the other party's murderous reputation, he still spoke with a head and a word, worthy of being a successful businessman, but he didn't know that their identities as adventurers or robbers were just linked to what they did.
After Lan Fengyu said this, he began to worry again, if the other party is an ordinary bandit, he can do it with his own money, but this Ma Mingshan is a veritable guy who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, but this batch of goods is all my net worth, can I leave it alone?
