Chapter 1: Falling Feather City

Next Chapter

At the end of autumn and the winter solstice, a grain convoy composed of nearby villagers outside Luoyu City was slowly moving forward.

"I heard that the Cangli Empire is famine again this year, they won't come to loot us, right?" asked a thin young man at the end of the line.

The villagers who were traveling with him laughed after hearing this, and a rough-looking man in the team walked up to the young man, his eyes were full of love, and a pair of big hands slapped him on the shoulder, "I, the Holy Emperor of the Yunzhou Empire, drove the Cangli people out of the Luoyu Mountain Range in one fell swoop a hundred years ago, and now they are afraid that they will not have the courage to come again." ”

The young man wanted to argue a few words, but was interrupted by the man, "Yan Jingchen listens to the order, and the delivery of grain and grass must not be delayed!"

"Yes! Yan Jingchen stood straight, and he really looked like a sergeant. The atmosphere in the grain team also became much more lively, and after continuing to march for an hour or so, a majestic city appeared in front of everyone.

Luoyu City is known as the iron gate on the border line of the Yunzhou Empire, the city wall is built along the mountain, and the pass in and out of the Luoyu Mountain Range is deadly choked, and the west along the pass through the continuous Luoyu Mountain Range is the territory of the Cangli Empire. Because of this, the city of Luoyu, which is now in peacetime, has naturally become the largest trade port between the two empires.

Merchants can be seen everywhere in the city, including the graceful and elegant Yunzhou people, and the blue-eyed and white-skinned Cangli people. The grain caravan crossed the wide bluestone road in the middle of the city and stopped in front of a palatial mansion.

The rough-looking man took a few steps forward and bowed to the man standing at the door to receive him, "Yan Tiesheng, the grass people, have come to return to their lives with taxes and grain on the order of the assassin of Luoyu City. ”

The man glanced at the dresses of several people, and turned around to report without returning the salute. Yan Jingchen, who was bored, couldn't help but be interested when he looked at the pair of imposing stone lions at the door, and wanted to step forward to touch it, but Yan Tiesheng grabbed him, so he had to stand there and watch it stupidly.

After a while, the young man came with a young general in armor, who was handsome and fair-skinned, and he didn't look like a general fighting on the battlefield at all, but a bit of a wealthy young master.

"You will follow me to transport the grain and grass to the military warehouse, and your movements will be sharp. Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and followed the young general all the way to the barracks.

The neatly drilled sergeants in the camp were majestic and had grim faces. The dancing Changge in his hand gives people a chilling feeling. Yan Jingchen followed closely behind the team, timidly looking at the new things around him.

"All the grain and grass will be moved to this storehouse, and then someone will come with me to register the books. The armoured young general pointed to a granary in the camp and commanded.

"Brother Tiesheng, you go and register, and leave the matter here to us. One of the accompanying villagers said, Yan Tiesheng did not shirk, turned around and followed the general into the big tent in the middle of the camp, and when he left, he also took Yan Jingchen, who was struggling to unload food.

Walking into the big tent, Yan Jingchen couldn't help but get nervous, he had never entered the military camp before, so he pulled the corner of Yan Tiesheng's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Father, I'd better go back and help Uncle Zhang and them unload the grain, it's scary here." ”

"Shhhhhh If you don't let you come out to see the world, you will always be that stinky boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, see more things, talk less, and have more things to learn in the future. Yan Tiesheng looked at the immature Yan Jingchen kindly.

The young general took out a nameless account book from the bookshelf in the big tent, spread the account book on the table, counted the amount of grain and grass brought by Yan Tiesheng one by one, and filled it in the account book.

"Alright, there's nothing to do here, go back. "The young player closes the ledger and is about to get rid of people.

"That's not right, General, you haven't given the bill for tax rations. Yan Tiesheng reminded cautiously.

"If I say it's okay, it's okay!" the young general let out an extremely disdainful cold snort from his nose, "Hurry up, if you linger any longer, military law will deal with it." ”

Yan Tiesheng worked as a blacksmith in the military workshop for several years in his early years, and knew that there must be something strange about the young general in front of him acting like this, so he took advantage of the fact that the person was not paying attention, grabbed the account book on the table, and quickly flipped through it a few times.

"You moths, you actually sell the soldiers' rations to the Baili Trading House for personal gain!" Yan Tiesheng shouted indignantly.

The young man raised his head lightly, his expression unmoved, and said disdainfully, "Untouchable, do you know who I am, you are in big trouble today." ”

After a few years of military life, Yan Tiesheng couldn't see anyone engaging in favoritism, especially in the matter of grain and grass, "He is coming back, and my Yunzhou soldiers have no food to use, what to resist, you moths, you will die and have no place to bury when the time comes!"

"Smack!"

The young general slapped Yan Tiesheng in the face, "I am the young owner of Baili Commercial Bank, my father and Thorn Shi are friends for eight worships, what to do is not your turn to teach me." ”

A stream of red blood flowed out of the corner of Yan Tiesheng's mouth, and he wiped it casually. turned around and handed the account book to Yan Jingchen, and pushed him behind him, "Let's go, hand over the account book to Lord Zhang, the county guard." ”

"Are you leaving, today I will let you die without a place to bury. The young man's handsome face became hideous and terrifying at this moment, and his mouth giggled strangely.

"The storm is calling!" a cold voice came. The violent aura of destruction in the air condensed rapidly, accompanied by Baili Mo's finger dance.

"Hand over the ledger, and I can leave you with a whole corpse. ”

Looking at the whirlwind that was constantly beating around Baili Mo's fingers, Yan Tiesheng was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Baili Mo to be able to do immortal arts, knowing that today was already a lot of bad luck, so he couldn't be afraid, and turned to Yan Jingchen behind him and shouted, "Run!"

Before the words fell, Baili Mo's fingers moved, and the strong wind mixed with the sound of gold and iron resonating came straight towards Yan Tiesheng.

Yan Tiesheng's body was instantly pierced by the storm, and the powerful impact force brought his body up, throwing it far back, bursting a large cloud of blood mist in mid-air, and finally fell to the ground like mud, cutting off his vitality.

Yan Jingchen's tears burst out of his eyes in an instant, but his footsteps did not stop, and he could rush out of the tent at his sight. At this time, Baili Mo stretched out his hand and grabbed Yan Jingchen from ten zhang away.

snatched the account book from Yan Jingchen's hand, and Baili Mo slammed Yan Jingchen to the ground. Then he raised his foot and stepped on it, slowly increasing his strength, only to hear Yan Jingchen's ribs making a gurgling sound under the squeezing, and it looked like it was about to break.

At this critical moment, Yan Jingchen only felt a slight chill on his chest, and a light curtain appeared out of thin air and gently wrapped his body, so that Baili Mo's feet could no longer descend a point.

Baili Mo was also shocked when he saw this scene, in his imagination, stepping on Yan Jingchen was as simple as stepping on an ant, but now this ant has gained a divine power that even he can't compete with.

"Interesting, interesting. Baili Mo took his feet. The light curtain also disappeared, leaving only Yan Jingchen lying on the ground in pain and coughing violently.

"What spiritual treasure is hidden on you, hand it over, maybe I can spare your life. Baili Mo stood in front of Yan Jingchen and said condescendingly.

Yan Jingchen didn't make a sound, just lay there deadly, and didn't hear Bai Limo's question.

"It seems that I really have to look at the yellow calendar when I go out in the future, there are so many people who are not interested today. Baili Mo put down the account book in his hand, stretched out his hand to choke Yan Jingchen's neck, and lifted him up from the ground.

"I'm going to kill you!" Yan Jingchen said fiercely with blood foaming in his mouth.

"Okay, wait until I take your spiritual treasure first. Baili Mo groped on Yan Jingchen's body with one hand, and increased his strength with the other hand, just waiting for the moment when he took away the spirit treasure, and twisted Yan Jingchen's neck by the way.

"The boy of the Baili family, Hugh wants to hurt people's lives again. A loud voice like a bell came, and in an instant, Bai Limo, who was committing the murder, was shocked back a few steps.

"Who? I'd like to see how many of them are not afraid of death today. Baili Mo stabilized his figure and shouted in the direction of the curtain of the big tent.

The curtain of the big tent was blown up by the wind, and a man in a brocade robe walked in from the outside, "Don't be too crazy, this Luoyu City is not your Baili family." ”

After seeing the person who came, Baili Mo hurriedly threw Yan Jingchen aside, and then condensed a whirlwind to destroy the account books on the side.

"You little baby is very cunning, but this killing of mortals, it depends on how you explain it. Zhang Sanhu instantly understood Baili Mo's actions.

"Slash!"

While Zhang Sanhu was speaking, Baili Mo took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, and a transparent qi blade shot out from under his feet, leaving a furrow several feet deep on the ground.

Facing the galloping air blade, Zhang Sanhu calmly opened his hands, and the wide gorgeous clothes instantly swelled, floating without wind, and with a wave of his sleeves, he sucked the air blade into his robe. The explosion sound that the imaginary immortal law should have collided with did not appear, and after the qi blade entered Zhang Sanhu's robe, it disappeared without a trace like a mud cow entering the sea.

At this time, Baili Mo had already taken advantage of the situation to rush to Zhang Sanhu's approach, and shouted, "Thousand Shadow Fist!"

Dozens of fist shadows instantly appeared in the air, constantly blasting towards Zhang Sanhu.

"Thousand Shadow Fist? You're not far from it. Zhang Sanhu stretched out his thick big hand and grabbed it in the air, easily crushing the fist shadow in the air, and then took a few steps forward and grabbed Bai Limo's collar and lifted him into the air.

"Don't think that you are doing everything seamlessly. ”

"Hmph, even if you know what. Baili Mo left his feet off the ground and struggled hard in the air to escape Zhang Sanhu's control.

"Go back and learn more from your old man to behave in the world, otherwise I will have to cut it first next time." A trace of killing intent shot out of Zhang Sanhu's eyes, and Bai Limo was so frightened that he suddenly withered and didn't dare to shout.

Looking at Baili Mo, who was already honest, Zhang Sanhu put him down with a look of disgust, "Your charge of killing mortals as a monk has been confirmed, go back and tell the old man, and then go to the prison to report." ”

Looking at Baili Mo at this time, his head drooped, he had lost his arrogance, and he turned around and fled out of the big tent.

After Baili Mo left, Zhang Sanhu looked at Yan Tiesheng's corpse on the ground, sighed deeply, and then turned to Yan Jingchen, who was lying on the ground, looking up to the sky and crying into tears, and said, "Mourn, what should come will always come." ”
