Chapter 17: The Lion Emblem
In this way, after 3 days of traveling, Lianhua and his entourage came to a small town called Pani at noon on the fourth day, and the head of Menglu decided to perform a drama here to accept the results of the rehearsals in the past few days. So Lianhua and Liao drove the carriage to the square in the center of the town, where they performed in the evening.
In the afternoon, the main members of the repertory troupe had an intense rehearsal in the carriage. Lianhua, Li Ao, Lucy and the three guys in charge of logistics in the troupe went outside to distribute flyers and promote the evening performance. When the townspeople heard that there was a free play to watch in the evening, they were very happy and spontaneously spread the news.
"Don't get out of the way!" a rough voice sounded at the breach, followed by a "snap" whip whip, followed by a "Don't get out of the way!" a rough voice followed by the sound of whipping.
Leaflets were distributed not far away, Lianhua, Liao and Lucy heard these sounds, and looked curiously in the direction of the sounds, only to see that the three young men in charge of logistics in the repertory troupe had fallen to the ground, and the leaflets were scattered all over the ground, and a person who looked like a guard was whipping them with a horsewhip, and there was a luxurious carriage behind the person who looked like a guard, and there was a lion emblem on the body of the carriage, and the people in the carriage did not come out and did not make a sound to stop it. There were also some townspeople around one after another, but they didn't step forward to stop them, they didn't dare to stop them.
Seeing that someone he knew was beaten, Lianhua and the three of them hurriedly ran over.
"Stop!" Lucy shouted at the guard as she ran.
When the guard heard the shout, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and continued to wave his whip. Seeing that the guards had no intention of stopping, Liao immediately accelerated with a dash and took down the giant sword behind his back. Just when the whip was about to draw the boys, a figure had already arrived, and with a "snap", Liao held the giant sword and blocked the whip with his backhand, and at the same time, the huge anti-shock force made the guard's hand numb, and the person took 2 steps back, and the whip took off and flew out.
Lianhua did not go up, and after seeing the emblem on the carriage, she followed Lucy and grabbed Lucy who was about to continue to come forward, and quickly untied her cloak and put it on Lucy's head. Lucy was a little puzzled at first, and wanted to shake off Lianhua's hand and continue to step forward. Lianhua didn't explain, just took Lucy's hand like this, Lucy looked at Lianhua suspiciously, but Lianhua pointed to the body of the carriage with her finger.
"Lion Emblem, the nobles of the Imperial Capital!" Lucy couldn't help but exclaim after following Lianhua's hand and seeing the lion emblem on the carriage body. Dispelled the idea of continuing to come forward to help, and the person unconsciously stood behind Lianhua.
The lion emblem on the carriage is one of the emblems that the nobles of the imperial capital like to use, which means that the owner of this carriage is from the imperial capital.
Although Lucy did not say her identity, Lianhua and Liao also tacitly did not ask, but from Dak, a person who does not know martial arts, he can see at a glance what family Lianhua and Li Ao's fighting spirit comes from, the family behind Lucy must not be simple, the more unsimple the family, the higher the appearance rate in the imperial capital, in other words, even if Lucy is now dressed as a man and a woman, it is possible that people who come from the imperial capital will be able to recognize it. These Lianhua and Li Ao have discussed in private, in order to complete the task, in the case of encountering the people of the imperial capital, Energizer will avoid Lucy from showing up. That's why just after seeing the lion mark on the carriage, Liao rushed straight forward with his sword, while Lianhua followed Lucy.
"Hey, I said why can't you even hold a whip steadily?" After blocking the guard, Liao slammed his greatsword into the ground and looked at the guard with a mocking expression. "If you can't hold it steadily, don't hit someone. ”
"You, how dare you?" was forced to retreat, the horsewhip was shaken off, and was ridiculed by the other party, the guard's face, which was not handsome, was already annoyed and angry at the moment, but anger was angry, and the guard also knew that the person in front of him was strength supreme in his own right, so he didn't mean to continue to step forward, "You humble civilians, do you know who the lord in the carriage is?"
"Hahaha, I don't know! It doesn't matter who he is!" Seeing the guard's annoyed and angry face, Liao laughed very shamelessly, as for who the guard said in the carriage, he didn't care, so he ignored the guard, left the sword on the ground, turned around and helped the three guys up one by one. "Are you alright?"
"No, it's okay," the three guys were not big, they had been following the repertory troupe, where had they seen this scene, and they all resigned themselves, "Brother Li Ao, forget it, they are aristocrats." We can't afford to mess with it. ”
"It's just a nobleman, it's nothing remarkable!" helped the three guys dust off, and after listening to the words of the three guys, Li Ao said disapplaudedly.
In the past few days, these 3 guys have always been long and short, and they are very happy, but now they have been beaten for no reason. Li Ao was angry when he thought about it, and the fighting spirit of the "Blazing Emperor" suddenly gushed out of his body, and he turned to look at the guards and said word by word, "Apologize for what you have done!" "The expression is no more serious than serious.
The 3 guys looked stupid, the person in front of him was completely different from the usual giggle, not a decent Brother Liao.
"You..."If the guards were still angry just now, then after seeing Li Ao's fighting spirit, he had become afraid. Fighting spirit is released, at least a low-level martial artist. And the guards will only have some simple martial arts, not even fighting spirit, barely can only be regarded as a trainee martial artist, although the trainee martial artist and the low-level martial artist, there is only 1 order, but this 1st order is an invisible gap, a gap that some people can't cross in their lifetime.
"Lee, why has the carriage stopped for so long?" an old but powerful voice came from the carriage.
"My lord, there are a few civilians standing in the way. Hearing the question of the adult in the carriage, the guard who called Li recovered from his fear, and immediately turned to the carriage and replied respectfully.
"Oh, civilians, just get rid of them!" said the old, powerful voice casually.
"My lord, that..." Guard Li glanced at Li Ao, and his speech was a little slurred, not knowing how to speak.
Seeing that the guard was a little slurred, "What's wrong?" The old and powerful voice came from far to near, an old man wearing aristocratic clothes and a mustache walked out of the carriage, standing on the carriage and looking down, and saw that there were many townspeople around the carriage, and there was a young man standing in front of the carriage, and there were 3 young men behind the young man, the young man was hiding behind the young man, and the young man standing in front of him was exuding a golden-red fighting spirit, looking at himself seriously. "Fighting spirit is released? low-level martial artist?"
"Li?" the old man looked at Li Ao for a moment, then turned to look at the guard and asked, "Explain." ”
"Yes, my lord, there were 3 imps in your way just now, I asked them to leave, but they didn't leave immediately, so I beat them with a horsewhip, but unexpectedly, this young man suddenly appeared, blocked me, and asked me to apologize to them, and said, if you don't apologize," Li Guard replied respectfully with his head down, but after saying this, he paused, looked up at Li Ao, and then said, "Say, if you don't apologize, you will chop your carriage." ”
"Hahaha! Well, the kid is not small. After listening to the guard's answer, the old man looked at Li Ao approvingly, "Do you know? Even in the imperial capital, no one dares to say that they have chopped my carriage!"
"Hmph~" For the old man's words, Liao didn't care and continued to look at him.
On the contrary, the three guys behind him became more and more nervous, this old man had the coercion from the superiors, and they could clearly feel it hiding behind Li Ao.
The old man was also surprised to see that the young man was not overwhelmed by his own momentum, and looked at the more and more townspeople around him, waved his hand at the guards and said, "Forget it, Li, apologize." Don't waste your time here. Then he ignored the people and went back to the carriage.
"Yes, sir. Escort Li received the instructions of the adults, put away his previous momentum, walked up to Liao and the three guys, bowed, and said, "I'm sorry." ”
