Chapter 52: The Mountain Bandits Are Coming
"We're about to arrive at the Purple Sword Sect, it's getting dark, let's rest here first, and then return to the Purple Sword Sect tomorrow." Elder Gutian spoke.
After the crowd had set up their tents. Ye Yanqing stayed for a while and felt bored, so she was ready to secretly go to a small town not far away to play. Unfortunately, he happened to run into Chen Chen coming to him.
So after talking to Wang Rongguang, he left with Chen Chen. Looking at the distant backs of the two, Wang Rongguang said with a wicked smile: "This kid won't be the son-in-law of the sect master." β
After coming to the town, Ye Yanqing first took Chen Chen to a tavern to eat something. When he was enjoying eating, suddenly a faint voice sounded in Ye Yanqing's ears.
"This young man, please give me something to eat, the village protection fee given to me in our village has been forced. My father was seriously injured by them, so please have mercy on our father and daughter. I saw a girl in ragged clothes, unkempt but with a hint of fragrance grabbing Ye Yanqing's shirt and begging.
The guy on the side saw that Ye Yanqing didn't make a sound for a while, so he hurriedly ran over, and then said, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't you see that this master is from the Purple Sword Sect? "I don't know why the guy bites the words of the people in the sect so hard.
Ye Yanqing frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter, will the people of the sect eat her, isn't it just a meal?" What a big deal. β
The guy on the side said in surprise: "Master, you are willing to help her." β
"Nonsense. β
"Okay. The man quickly turned around and went into the kitchen, took out his chopsticks, and handed them to the girl.
"Thank you. The girl said timidly.
"Damn, he did that to you just now, and you didn't thank me for inviting you to eat. Not happy. β
"Ah, I'm sorry for that, thanks... Thank you. And that... That guy brother is a good man, and it was he who secretly gave me some leftovers every time, and my father and I have survived until now. After the girl finished speaking, she glanced at the fellow gratefully.
"Then why did he pull you away just now?" Chen Chen asked curiously.
"Thisβ" The girl was speechless.
"Look, I can't say it, it means that he doesn't really want to help you. Ye Yanqing said with a cheap face.
"No, it won't. The girl's voice was louder, and she seemed to be a little angry.
Suddenly, Ye Yanqing felt that she was a little out of shape, and just when she wanted to round the field, the guy ran over.
"This master, I'm not afraid that you will beat her. Alas, actually, this child is very likable, she and her father came here to eat that day but ran into the bully here, the bully wanted to rob the child, her father refused to be seriously injured, the bully robbed them of the village money, and said that only when the child went to him, he would pay it back. β
"What is the village money?"
"Every winter, some wild beasts and demonic beasts come out to feed, and those villages without warriors are one of their main feeding places, so in order to protect themselves, those villagers will pay warriors to help them guard the village. Chen Chen opened his mouth to explain.
"Are you inviting a casual cultivator or someone from the sect?"
"Generally, most of them are casual cultivators, and those Qian sects don't look down on them, and the disciples don't want to waste their cultivation time because of this. But sometimes the sect will send some people in order to hone its disciples. β
"Damn, why don't I know anything? It must be that the person surnamed Wang didn't tell me, by the way, if I go to help them guard the village, will other sect members come?"
"No, this piece belongs to our Purple Sword Sect's territory, and other sects won't send people here. What's the matter, Brother Yanqing, are you going to guard the village?" After feeling that it was unpleasant to call Brother Ye last time, Chen Chen changed it to this title.
"This young man, are you really willing to help our village?" said the girl on the side excitedly. seemed to think of something, his eyes darkened again, and then he whispered: "But, I have no money." β
"Go, I don't want money. Ye Yanqing pursed her lips.
"Really?"
"What's in it for me to lie to you?"
"But... Young man, are you two alone?"
"Nope. β
Hearing this, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, after all, only two people are too risky, after all, the people who were invited before were all at the level of a war master, these two people are so young and not much different from themselves, even if they are disciples of the sect, they should not have the level of a war master.
"I'll do it alone. Suddenly, Ye Yanqing came up with such a sentence.
"What?" The guy and the girl on the side, except for Chen Chen, were all shocked. The girl hurriedly spoke: "Young man, this matter is very dangerous, please... Please be careful. β
"Trust me, no problem. Or why are you afraid of me and her?" Saying that, Ye Yanqing's eyes looked at the guy.
"It's... Alas, after this kid was robbed of money by the bullies before, she had to find someone to protect the village, so I gave her an idea to dress up in tatters, and then see if I could win some sympathy to get people to help her, but... Those dogs. The man's eyes suddenly filled with anger.
"Well, no, even if others don't want to help, don't talk about people. Ye Yanqing said.
"Master, don't you know, those martial artists all dislike her like this, they don't help and even start beating people, the most hateful thing is that there is a sect of people at first I thought he was going to help, who knew that he was just to tease this child, this child found out and wanted to leave, that person not only didn't let him go but also beat people. β
"Damn, these warriors, their conduct is really not flattering. β
"Brother Yan Qing, this is also something that can't be helped, the strength of this world is respected, and I was often bullied before. β
Ye Yanqing was silent for a while and then said, "So you just saw me and didn't speak for a while, thinking that I would also beat her, right?"
The fellow nodded awkwardly. Ye Yanqing stopped speaking at this time. After all, only he knew that he was in a daze just now because he was curious about why this girl was dressed in tatters but still had a fragrance.
Then, after eating, Ye Yanqing asked Sun Shuyu, the girl, to take him and Chen Chen to find her father, and then Ye Yanqing asked her father and daughter to stay here for a while, and then go and talk to Wang Rongguang by herself.
"Girl, do you say this young man is reliable?"
"I don't know, but he said that he was the number one in the Purple Sword Sect's Five Courtyards Competition, and we can only trust him now. β
"Alas. With a long sigh, the father and daughter fell into deep thought.
"No, it's not that you won't be allowed to go, the village must be at least at the level of a war division, otherwise you will only take the rough village to be buried with you. Wang Rongguang shouted.
"Ah, is it a warrior? Ye Yanqing burst out of her battle spirit.
"This breath, Second Rank Warrior, Damn, you kid came out of the ruins and was so powerful. Okay, you take this with you and go. Saying that, Wang Rongguang took out a wooden card, which was very ordinary, and there was only one purple character on it.
"This is the token of the Sect Master of the Purple Sword Sect, this is what the Sect Master gave me before, you have to return it to me when you run out, with it, you can walk sideways in the jurisdiction of the Purple Sword Sect. β
"What a good thing. Thank you. With that, Ye Yanqing took the token and left.
"This kid..."Looking at Ye Yanqing's back, Wang Rongguang's eyes were a little envious.
Then Ye Yanqing found Sun Shuyu's father and daughter, and then took them to an inn, first, to let them take a good bath, and second, to let Sun Shuyu and her father Sun Guanglei have a good meal.
Early the next morning, Ye Yanqing left under the leadership of the father and daughter, and the three of them came to Sunjia Village where the father and daughter were located in the evening.
And the most surprising thing for Ye Yanqing was Sun Shuyu, in Ye Yanqing's words, it was the same as Chen Chen, after taking a bath, Ye Yanqing was stunned, and she also knew why the bully would arrest her, and I would do the same if I replaced her.
As soon as the three of them entered the village, a large number of village names surrounded them, and in a burst of crying, Ye Yanqing understood, it turned out that the village was not only worried about the monsters, but also about those mountain bandits, and yesterday the mountain bandits came to the village, not for money, but for Sun Shuyu.
It turned out that the bandit leader didn't know that Sun Shuyu was happy to look good from there, so he was about to pull into the mountains, but yesterday he was told by the villagers that Sun Shuyu had left the village, so the leader left a message that if he came back tonight, if he couldn't see anyone, he would burn down the village.
And after the villagers learned that Ye Yanqing was the village protector this time, they all sighed slightly, and a kind lady even bluntly told Ye Yanqing to run.
"Damn, is Lao Tzu so unreliable? Isn't he a mountain bandit? Let him come, I can't kill them. Ye Yanqing felt that she had been hurt countless points.
The villagers were about to say something more, when suddenly the sentry at the entrance of the village shouted, "The bandits are coming." For a while, the villagers fled in all directions, and some people said as they ran: 'I thought the village chief had brought some powerful person this time, who knew that it was such a child, alas, our village is finished this time.' β
And the only thing that made Ye Yanqing happy was that Sun Shuyu's father and daughter had not left yet. Ye Yanqing had no choice but to lead the villagers and let them hide quietly in their homes.
"Well, if I succeed in driving away the bandits, promise me a request. β
"Ahh β
"Go, do you like money so much in your eyes? My request is that after driving out the bandits, you tell me that you admire me very much, how about it?"
"It's... This can be promised to you. As long as you can drive away the bandits, I promise you. β
"No problem. Aren't they just mountain bandits? β
While the two were talking, the mountain bandits had come to the outside of the village, and the leader of the mountain bandits shouted: "Let Sun Shuyu's little lady come out, otherwise Lao Tzu will level your village." β
"Fuck your uncle. I'll talk about it if I win your grandfather. Saying that, Ye Yanqing's body moved, and in the blink of an eye, she came to the bandit leader.
"It was you kid who just spoke, haha. Even a hairy boy like you who has not dried up dares to talk to your grandfather and me like this, don't you want to live anymore? The man laughed, and even the younger brothers behind him laughed.
"I'm the protector of the village this time, if you want to win people, fight with me first. β
"Haha, why did this broken village choose such a garbage like you to protect the village, it's up to you? After speaking, the leader swung the big knife in his hand towards Ye Yanqing. This was originally an innocent knife, but at this time, it seemed to be a big mountain attacking.
"It's an earth attribute again, no wonder he has so much strength, but he's just a first-class battle master, and he can be solved within three moves. The voice of the wyvern rang out.
"Hmph. Broken Dragon Fist. Ye Yanqing met the enemy with her fists, not only caught the big knife, but also used her spare strength to repel it.
"Huh, it seems that this Ye Gongzi really didn't brag, and he beat the bandit back so easily. β
"Nether Killing Array. As Ye Yanqing made a strange set of handprints, a starlight magic circle rose from the foot of the bandit leader, and then the magic circle trapped Qi inside, and then two basketball-sized basketballs appeared.
"Hmph, pretending to be a ghost, watch Lao Tzu slash these two broken things with one knife. As he spoke, the leader picked up his knife and slashed at the two balls, and the two balls seemed to have the same idea, and quickly rushed towards the bandit leader, and then the knife met the ball...
"Chasing electric swordsmanship. Ye Yanqing didn't care about the bandit leader anymore after seeing that the double ball smashed the big knife in the bandit leader's hand, but rushed into the group of bandits with one person and one sword.
A moment later, when the villagers saw Ye Yanqing and the bandits around him who had fallen to the ground, everyone was stunned.
"Alright, now it's time for you to fulfill my request. Ye Yanqing turned her head to Sun Shuyu and said.
