Chapter 22: Guan Shuntong's Anger, Strange Emerald Ridge
Early the next morning, Zhang Hu, Zhao Long and Wang Dazhuang came.
However, as soon as they arrived at the patrol room, an officer told them about the events of last night, and the three of them were shocked.
Last night, there was a thief master who dared to attack the patrol room! It's worth it!
The point is that the three of them are not there, which is a dereliction of duty!
The three of them quickly came to the backyard, and seeing that Jiang Changkong had already gotten up and was practicing his sword, Zhang Hu hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "My lord, my subordinates practiced at home last night, and I didn't protect my lord here in time, please surrender my lordship." ”
Zhao Long and Wang Dazhuang glanced at each other, and Zhao Long said with Ai Ai: "After the subordinates and Da Zhuang patrolled last night, they drank with a few friends in the martial arts hall in Fenghualou, and they drank a little too much. ”
"The subordinates are derelict in their duties, and they ask the adults to condemn their crimes." Wang Dazhuang also clenched his fists and said.
Jiang Changkong smiled and said: "It's useless for you to come, the strength of the bandits is very strong, and there are many people, even I am not their opponent, fortunately, there are Tong Tianwei here, so I killed them." ”
Bronze Guardian ...... Grown-ups!
All three of them were moved.
In other words, there was more than one Bronze Tianwei here last night!
It turned out that the Demon Town Division had already made arrangements.
The three of them were shocked and at the same time rejoiced.
Not only was he glad that he didn't come, but he was also glad that there were Tong Tianwei lords, otherwise Lord Jiang would really be in danger.
The three of them didn't ask if these Tong Tianwei adults were still patrolling the room now, and the affairs of these adults were not something that their subordinates who didn't even have an establishment could ask.
"My lord has the help of nobles, this is a blessed star!"
Zhang Hu and the three of them clasped their fists and said with a flattering expression.
Noble people to help?
Jiang Changkong smiled slightly.
Counting it up, Wei Fuguang is his nobleman, starting from entering Qinghe County to get the pension of Najiang Farewell, to repelling Guan Yulong today, he has been helping him several times before and after.
In addition, the 'second uncle' Jiang Bieli is also one, and when he dies, he not only gives him a pension, but also gives him a 'referral' place.
But last night's noble man was none other than himself.
He single-handedly killed nine people, destroying the elite of Emerald Ridge.
Of course, he wouldn't say that to the three of them.
"You hang the corpses of nine villains at the south gate to show the public, and send people to guard them to deter Xiaoxiao!"
"Yes, sir."
Zhang Hu and the three of them clenched their fists and left.
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
The sun has risen.
At the south gate of the town, more and more people gathered.
There are merchants who enter the town from the countryside, and there are merchants who enter Nanping Town from other places, but most of them are from Nanping Town.
Everyone gathered at the south gate, looking at the notices, pointing and talking one by one.
Some of them have already obtained "inside information": the patrol room has Master Tong Tianwei in charge, so these thieves have not been able to succeed.
Some of the Guan family's eyeliner was in the crowd and quickly disappeared.
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
Kanfu.
Guan Shuntong's face was pale, and his originally smooth beard was messy at the moment.
The table next to him had been smashed by him, scattered on the ground, the teacups were broken by him, and the ground was full of porcelain shards.
"A bunch of useless things!"
"The nine masters didn't even kill a small black guard!"
Guan Shuntong's lungs are about to explode.
Originally, he hoped that Lu Lin and others would take a bad breath for him and avenge his son, but who knew that the result of waiting all night was that the bodies of nine people were hung at the south gate and exposed in public!
"It's all rubbish!"
"It's not a pity to die!"
Xiang Jiu hugged his fists on the side and said: "My lord is angry, I heard that there is a Tong Tianwei in charge, and there is more than one, Lu Lin and they probably don't know the details of the patrol room at all, and they will be wiped out if they are careless." ”
"Didn't they go to step on the spot during the day?" Guan Shuntong was still furious, "Are they all blind?" ”
"Such a group of bandits, dare to say that they have no defeat in Jade Ridge, they are simply blind!"
"If it weren't for our Guan family wiping their butts in the back, they would have died hundreds of times!"
"These useless things...... Good !! to die ”
As he spoke, he reached out to grab a teacup, but he grabbed an empty one.
"Teacups?!!"
Guan Shuntong roared.
Xiang Jiu hurriedly took a teacup from the cabinet next to him.
Guan Shuntong snatched it and slammed it to the ground.
Crash!
Fragments of a place.
Then he stretched out his hand to ask for it, and Xiang Jiu had to hand him the teacups on the cabinet one by one.
Guan Shuntong slammed the teacups to the ground.
It wasn't until all the teacups were smashed that the impotent and furious Guan Shuntong stopped.
"Master, are we going to ...... next?"
Xiang Jiu made a throat-slitting motion.
Guan Shuntong let out a long breath, his eyes cloudy.
"Wait. It is unclear whether Tong Tianwei is still patrolling the house. ”
"Whether it's or not, let's not startle the snake for the time being, let's wait for a while."
"I don't believe it, Tong Tianwei can stay in the patrol room all the time and don't come out, don't leave, they can't protect Jiang Changkong for a lifetime!"
Speaking of this, he glanced in the direction of the main hall, and his eyes were full of sadness.
"My son......"
Originally, he wanted to use Jiang Changkong's head to honor his son, but now he had to change his mind.
There is a bronze guardian, and according to the news, there is more than one, obviously the Demon Suppression Division has made preparations.
didn't tear his face with the Guan family, but the soldiers came to block it, and killed Lu Lin and others who attacked Jiang Changkong without asking the Guan family for their crimes, and the Demon Suppression Division had already given the Guan family face.
Therefore, it is impossible to kill Jiang Changkong now.
At present, it is not suitable to turn their faces with those people in the town demon division of Qinghe County, at least not on the surface.
Guan Shuntong knew very well in his heart that he had to retreat to the next best thing now.
This revenge must be avenged, not only because his son died, but also because of the face of the Guan family.
If the son is indifferent when he dies, then it is very likely that everyone will dare to use the knife on the head of the Guan family in the future.
Therefore, Jiang Changkong still has to be killed, but not now.
As for the consequences of killing Jiang Changkong, Guan Shuntong didn't care at all.
The role of the Guan family is not as simple as it seems, it is a big deal to lose some money after killing Jiang Changkong.
As for who the money was given to pay for his life, it doesn't matter, the key is that the Guan family has taken revenge and established authority, and no one will dare to do anything to the Guan family in the future, which is enough.
Guan Shuntong thought very beautifully and practically, but he didn't know that the Guan family had no chance to lose money.
"I'll talk about this after my son's first seven days."
Guan Shuntong said with a sullen sigh.
"Withdraw all the eyeliner around the patrol room."
"Yes, sir."
Xiang Jiu responded.
----------------------------------
Patrol room.
After Jiang Changkong finished practicing his sword, he changed his clothes and left Nanping Town on horseback without telling anyone.
The direction he headed was Qinghe County.
But after riding the horse for a while, no one was watching, so he turned around and headed for Emerald Ridge.
Lu Lin and the others were killed by him, and the bandits in Emerald Ridge were solved.
But the bandits' dens are still there, and the bandit problem is not completely solved.
He went to Emerald Ridge to prepare to solve all the bandits, and more importantly, the silver taels he found from the nine people in Lu Lin were too small, and a large amount of money should still be in Emerald Ridge.
The most important thing for cultivators is the "Wealth and Wealth".
'Cai' refers to money and resources, 'couple' refers to like-minded Taoist couples who communicate with each other, 'Fa' refers to exercises, and 'di' refers to the treasure land of feng shui.
These things are indispensable for immortal cultivators.
And these points are also applicable to martial artists.
And the most important of these is 'wealth'.
Without money, it is difficult to cultivate, just like the Zhuang Body Powder that Jiang Changkong bought before, without money, you can't improve your physical body, and it is impossible to improve so quickly.
Zhang Hu and others also had no money to cultivate, which made their cultivation move forward.
This shows the importance of money.
After killing Lu Lin's nine people, Jiang Changkong had no reason to give away a large amount of money from Jade Ridge to others.
Therefore, he wanted to take down the Jade Ridge first while others had not yet attacked the Jade Ridge.
Drive! Drive! Drive!
Along the way, Jiang Changkong quickly whipped up and went straight to Emerald Ridge.
More than an hour later, a green and treacherous mountain was in sight.
It is the famous Emerald Ridge.
Jiang Changkong rode his horse to the front of the mountain.
A narrow passage passes through the middle of the two peaks.
This is the first line of the famous two counties, where the bandits of the Emerald Ridge guard, collect the money from the pass, and make a lot of money every year.
But to Jiang Changkong's surprise, there was no one on duty here.
When he used the 'Sword Heart Clearing' to look around, he saw black qi rising in one direction of the mountain, and Jiang Changkong's eyes lit up.
If that's right, it's supposed to be the lair of the Emerald Ridge bandits.
The mountains here are steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult for horses to climb the mountain.
Jiang Changkong found a place to tie the horse and went alone.
The strength of the four grades of martial arts allowed him to walk on the ground in the steep mountains and move forward quickly.
After a short time, we arrived at our destination.
Place is private.
Walking through the dense woods, you can see rows of vegetable patches in a mountain col, and from a distance, a field of green and lush, you can see that all kinds of vegetables are growing well.
There are some winding passages on the peaks on both sides.
In some places, plank roads have been built to connect the passages of the various levels.
There are quite a few holes on the sides of some passages, and I think these are the homes of the bandits.
But to Jiang Changkong's surprise, there was no one here.
Not even a single sound.
Not even the sounds of birds or insects.
The silence was eerie, eerie.
Wrong!
Something is very wrong!
Jiang Changkong's eyes narrowed slightly.
The so-called artist is bold, and with his current strength, safety should be no problem in this place.
What's more, under the cover of his sword intent, he didn't feel a fatal danger to him.
Jiang Changkong immediately entered the mountain pass.
Soon, he saw a series of large footprints under the col.
Looks like feline footprints.
Mountain-kun?
Looks like it should be.
Shanjun, also known as the tiger.
However, the tiger's footprints are too big!
Jiang Changkong's pupils shrank slightly.
The footprints look like they are fifty centimeters long!
And the span of the footprint is two meters.
How big is this?
Jiang Changkong was shocked in his heart.
He seemed to see a huge tiger two or three meters tall and four or five meters long looking down on him condescendingly.
This tiger ...... It's not going to be a sperm.
Judging by the freshness of the footprints, it should have been more than a day since now.
In other words, the giant tiger was here yesterday.
Considering the nocturnal nature of the tiger, it can be said that the giant tiger came before daylight yesterday.
If you had been here last night, then there would have been fewer people here.
Jiang Changkong raised his eyes to look left and right, chose a road to the mountainside passage in the left direction, quickly went up, and soon came to the passage.
As you follow the passage, you will soon see a cave.
After entering, I found that the cave was very large, and there were all kinds of stoves, furniture, and even toilets.
The inside was very clean, apparently occupied by someone for a long time.
But there was no one, and there were no traces of the fight or blood.
Leave this cave and head to the next cave.
There was still no one in the next cave, and there were still no traces of a fight or blood.
Walking down the passage, he found that every cave was empty.
There are people, but there are no people, and there are no traces of fights and blood...... Don't tigers eat people?
If tigers don't eat people, then where are all the people here?
Jiang Changkong was secretly strange.
As he walked along the passage to a larger cave, he was stunned by what he saw.
The cave is so large that it is as if the entire belly of the mountain has been hollowed out.
And in this cave, rows of corpses lie neatly on the ground, men, women and children, and their bodies are peaceful.
But every corpse is a dried corpse.
Densely packed, there were hundreds of people.
