Chapter 56: The Heartless Man (2)
The surnamed Ma Du Tou smiled: "Where do I have that leisure." I have long been inappropriate to be the head of the capital, and I worked as a bounty hunter for the first two years, specializing in arresting important criminals wanted by the government for a living. ”
Speaking of this, he arched his hand to the horse bandits: "We are all begging for a living in Ping'an Town, and we are all fallen people at the end of the world, no matter how big the beam was before, just put it aside." ”
The horse bandit squinted at him for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "You are soldiers, we are thieves, but now we eat under the same roof." How much of a creation does this have to be?"
The surnamed Ma said: "Exactly. And ask your friends to tell me the truth, who killed your people?"
The horse bandit said: "Have you ever heard of the 'Brocade Demon'?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present shuddered.
The horse bandit said slowly: "Now the most powerful person on the ruins of Huangzhou is probably this 'brocade demon'." Legend has it that he used a long sword, and wherever it passed, no grass grew and the earth turned into scorched earth.
I thought it was just a legend and I couldn't believe it. But half a year ago, the head of the green forest in the nine provinces opened a reward and offered a reward of 1,000 taels for the head of this 'brocade demon'......"
The man surnamed Ma jumped up suddenly: "One thousand taels?
The horse bandit said: "Do you think it should be a thousand taels of silver? Wrong, it's a whole thousand taels of gold!"
The one surnamed Ma was simply stunned: "Impossible...... Dude, aren't you kidding me?"
The horse bandit snorted coldly: "I'm going to let you do the ball? Looking at Your Excellency's posture, it seems that you still have any ideas? I advise you to die of this heart." Although the reward is high, you may not have the life to earn.
Don't you want to think about how capable that 'Brocade Demon' must be to make countless wicked people fearful by himself......?
The surnamed Ma hurriedly said: "The little brother has lost his words, brother, please speak." ”
The horse bandit continued: "My companion and I heard the news in the Sea of Stars, and because we were close, we wanted to try our skills. The owner said: We are riding fast horses, even if we can't catch the brocade demon, it's always okay to get out.
So we first went to Lujiazhuang, and then crossed the Huangchuan River, and along the way we were only the people who pursued the Jinyi Demon. In the end, as soon as we summed it up, we simply didn't chase it, and waited for him to pass by in ambush in Yangjiaxia.
The terrain of Yangjiaxia is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Not to mention that the kid is alone, even hundreds of officers and soldiers have to be shot into a sieve by our strong bows and crossbows.
But we waited for three days, and we were still nowhere to be seen. On the fourth day, the big guys were tired. We agreed to wait another day, and if we didn't see anyone, we would go home. Alas...... It would be nice if I did go back!
That night, the target finally appeared. I looked down from the top of the valley and saw a young man walking slowly. He was long, wearing a collared ermine coat and holding a long sword that had been numbered.
I was shocked in my heart, this person is exactly the same as the legend, and there is no doubt that he must be a demon in brocade.
We were overjoyed, but we waited until this fat sheep was delivered to the door.
The leader gave a whistle and signaled to wait until the target was close before moving. But as the young man approached, we felt a strange feeling.
At that time, dark clouds obscured the moon, but suddenly the canyon was brightened...... It was firelight. ”
The horse bandit suddenly licked his lips slightly, his eyes full of panic.
It turned out that the young man was followed by hundreds...... No, thousands of burning demons!
Do you know that they look like they have just come out of hell, and they are still on fire, and they are holding steel knives that make anyone tremble when they see them!
We were all terrified, and we were all in a flurry of arrows. But a flurry of crossbow arrows came through, and the canyon was empty, and the demon and the young man were gone.
Everyone panicked, thinking that they had encountered some monster. At this moment, I suddenly heard a sound behind me.
When I looked back, it was the young man. With a flick of his long sword, he didn't know what trick he made, and the heads of seventeen or eighteen people rolled down.
How had you ever seen such a hard idea? Immediately scattered and fled for his life, but the young man was like a ghost, and after a few dodges, he slaughtered everyone.
I only hid in the grass and pretended to be dead because I was old, but fortunately I escaped. ”
The man surnamed Ma asked, "Then have you seen what that man looks like?"
Ma Bandit said: "Extremely handsome, just a fairy-like character." The most unforgettable thing is his smile, which ......"
He suddenly shuddered: "That smile has no desire and no desire, like the Buddha in the temple." I really don't understand, who would put on that face when killing someone?"
At this time, a pony bandit said: "Third uncle, I see something different from you. I saw that the man was followed by a terrible ghost in red clothes, sticking out a long tongue, not to mention how terrifying!"
The horse bandit shook his head and said, "Maybe I was stunned and didn't look so closely." But it is an indisputable fact that the man was accompanied by a hundred ghosts behind him. ”
The man surnamed Ma said: "The demon in brocade clothes, his skills are so high, is there no one in the world who is his opponent?"
The horse bandit shook his head and said, "We haven't seen other people's kung fu, and it's hard for me to say." But in my opinion, the only thing that can compare to him is the one-armed divine sword in our town!"
"You said Li Remnant Hero?"
"Exactly. ”
The crowd burst into discussions, some suspected that the horse bandit was bragging, some said that the Jinyi demon knew how to do demons, and some said that he used powerful drugs.
While they were making a noise, a man in soft armor came in through the door, holding a couple of clothes in his hand, and asked, "Who is the new here?"
The three horse bandits said in unison, "We are." ”
The person who came was a steward, and handed the clothes to the three people: "After changing, go to the tent fifty paces outside the door to light the mao, and arrange work for you." For the rest, take the rope cart. We're going to get people. ”
"Fishing for people" means to go to a place outside the law to save people. This is the most dangerous kind of work, and it often kills people. But the law in the town is very strict, and no one can hide from it. I always have to walk like that every half a month.
Everyone was worried in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say much, so they could only obey orders.
