Chapter Fifty-Seven: Chivalry and Righteousness!
In the southeast corner of the Northern Wilderness region, there is a small dynasty called the Fallen Kingdom, and the origin of the name has long been buried in the thick dust of history.
Although the national strength of the Fallen Dynasty is not strong, the territory occupied by the dynasty is not vast, the population is not dense and it is located in this remote corner, but there is an advantage, that is, the Emperor is far away, and the Northern Wilderness Empire has been dealing with those relatively large dynasties and sects for several months, and the Fallen Dynasty has been dealing with those relatively large dynasties and sects for several months, and the Emperor and the generals are still doing as usual, and they are not worried about those problems at all.
There were thirty counties of all sizes, which were divided into the upper ten counties, the middle ten counties and the lower ten counties.
Nanlin County is located in the southeast of the Fallen Dynasty, and it is extremely remote, but it is also a county anyway, so there are officials such as county guards to maintain order.
Today, the young new county guard will take office, and the old county code will return to Beijing to retire for the rest of his life.
There is an official road in the capital that leads directly to Nanlin County, which is also the only official road leading to Nanlin County.
The journey of thousands of miles came and went, and the new county guard walked more than half of the two months, and finally when there was still a hundred miles away, he ran into trouble.
In every place of each dynasty, there are almost bandits, even the extremely powerful empire is the same, today a group is destroyed, tomorrow another group will come out, the world is like this, the people can not live, even if they risk death, they have to go up the mountain to do the work of tying their heads to the waistband of their trousers, so the court is completely inexhaustible.
The new Nanlin County Keeper was the year of the establishment, it was last year's Tanhualang, and there happened to be some elders who were officials in the family, so he was sent to Nanlin County to be the county guard for a few years, using this as a springboard, and then returning to Beijing to be an official.
He took office this time in Nanlin County, because he walked all the way to the official road, so he only brought three servants and more than a dozen guards, and he never thought that he would encounter thieves and thieves.
"Bold thief! My name is Du Xiangyou, I am the county guard of Nanlin County, and I dare to rob the imperial court officials?!"
Du Xiangyou usually reads some chivalrous novels, and sometimes when he reads that those chivalrous men in the rivers and lakes are either frightened or pale after they meet the evil thieves, he can't help but be excited, but he didn't expect to let him meet him today, so that he can be a chivalrous man in those books!
"Oh! I'm still an official, and my official hat is not small! Brothers, this time I'm going to catch a big one!" a middle-aged man with tattoos on his face smiled and shouted at the dozens of thieves around him with a knife in both hands.
"Go! Surround me first!" the tattooed middle-aged man ordered, and dozens of thieves quickly surrounded the convoy with only a few carriages.
"How dare you act like this?!" Du Xiangyou's face turned pale, and he angrily pointed at the thieves whose swords were already out of their sheaths, and his tone was angry.
The dozen or so guards drew their swords one after another, their duty was to protect the new county guard, they could die, but the county guard Du couldn't die!
"More than a dozen of you, can you stop us brothers?! Why don't resist, just join our Shanhu Village! As long as you are in the first-grade realm, you can join! The second-grade realm is a small leader, and the third-grade realm can be a master like me, and now we are only three in charge of Shanhu Village, so there is a good chance!" The tattooed man coerced and lured.
Most of the dozen or so guards were in the first-grade realm, and two were in the second-grade realm.
In the overturned country, the three-grade realm can be famous in a county, and the four-grade realm can dominate one side, as for the supreme five-grade realm, it is enough to be proud of the rivers and lakes of the downturned country, that is, the emperor will give three points when he sees each other.
"We have received a lot of favors from Dujunshou along the way, and Dujunshou has been kind to us along the way, so we ......"
Before a young guard finished speaking, three middle-aged guards walked out silently, drawing knives at them, one of them was the guard of the second-grade realm.
The young guard's face was full of anger and he shouted, "How can you be so ungrateful?!"
"To survive. The betrayed second-grade realm guard spat out a sentence coldly, and then looked indifferently at these people who were going to die in front of him.
"How can we all survive?" Du Xiangyou picked up the pride of being a scholar, and asked with his head held high, full of anger.
"Impossible, you are the county guard of Nanlin County, if you or anyone else are released, then our Mountain Tiger Village will not be leveled by the imperial court?!" The tattooed man laughed mockingly, "It's the first time I've seen such a big official, that's why I'm nagging you so much, otherwise you would have been hacked to death and fed to the dog by now." ”
"Who has not died in life since ancient times?! Today I am waiting to die, he will have a chivalrous man to avenge us one day, the way of heaven is good reincarnation, and good and evil will be rewarded!" Du Xiangyou smiled, feeling that he was worthy of those sage books at this time.
"Then feed the wild dogs!" said the tattooed man with a hideous face and murderous intent.
"This official road is also Yangguan Avenue, could it be that there are really wild dogs?"
Suddenly, a crisp and beautiful voice came from the end of the official road, and everyone turned their heads to look.
I saw a girl with a sword walking in front, and a young man following behind, the girl had a youthful breath and chivalrous momentum, and the young man's face was as calm as water, and the ancient well was unpredictable.
Soon the tattooed man's eyes lit up, because he saw the appearance of the girl, this was the first time in his life that he had seen such a beautiful and beautiful girl, especially those eyes, which made him fascinated, like a fairy descending to earth.
"Hey, brothers, capture her alive for me, remember! Whoever dares to hurt her hair, I'll chop him up!" the tattooed man laughed and commanded loudly.
Although many thieves were shocked by the appearance of the girl who had already approached, but at this time, when the head of the family spoke, they immediately sobered up and approached with a sneer.
The guards who had just defected to the Mountain Tiger Village were even more in the lead, wanting to make a meritorious contribution.
The girl and the young man were none other than Zhao Zhishui and Chu Chou. This is also doomed to the fate of these thieves in Shanhu Village.
Phew!
Phew!
Phew!
After a few sounds of breaking the air sounded, the dozen or so thieves who were usually fierce and vicious near Zhao Zhishui immediately lay on the ground, in pain.
I saw that they all had a small hole in their thighs, and I don't know what they had penetrated by.
Zhao Zhishui was very satisfied with her sword qi, and glanced at Chu Chou, Chu Chou nodded slightly at her, and she laughed.
At this time, the tattoo master didn't care about the alluring smile, just looked at Chu Chou, and was shocked, could it be that he met a four-grade master? Otherwise, how could he not see when and how the other party made a move?
"Kill!"
There were also thieves who didn't have long eyes and shouted because of the number of people, and then everyone rushed forward in a swarm.
"Poof!"
A dozen more people collapsed in an instant, steaming blood dripping from their legs.
"Friend! It's because we don't know Taishan with our eyes! We are from Shanhu Village, I don't know who our friend is?" The tattooed man was furious when he saw this, but he still reported his name in a sincere tone, hoping to deter the other party.
"Sorry, I haven't heard of it. You don't have to know where we come from, we just travel in all directions, and when we see injustice, we will draw our swords. Today can only be considered unlucky for you. Zhao Zhishui pointed at Du Xiangyou and continued: "You let these people go, and then each of them let me stab a sword, and I will release you." ”
"Friend, you have to be forgiving and forgiving!" The tattooed man saw that Chu Chou still didn't speak, or that little girl still spoke, and his tone was still so big, he couldn't help but be even more angry in his heart, but he still held back to keep it calm.
"If it weren't for this chivalrous warrior, I would have died today!" Du Xiangyou and the dozen or so guards walked up to Chu Chou with a grateful expression.
"Just thank me for being a disciple, she's always been the one who makes the move. Chu Chou shook his head, then smiled and pointed his finger at Zhao Zhishui and said.
Du Xiangyou and the dozen or so guards were all shocked, they had always been this Chu Chou who looked older, who knew that it was the young girl who was making a move!
"What's the matter? I'm already a swordsman in the five-rank realm now!I'm already more than half of the master's realm!" Zhao Zhishui saw the master smiling and encouraging her in front of others, she looked arrogant and proud, feeling that she had not suffered in vain in the past few years.
The tattooed man and the remaining thirty or so thieves who were still standing were preparing to draw their knives and fight to the death, and when they heard this, they didn't care that there were still more than 20 "brothers" lying on the ground, so they turned around and ran, each running faster than the other.
"Master, do you want to kill?" Zhao Zhishui looked at the fleeing thief and asked.
"No, they didn't kill anyone, at most they just scared it, but this time today it was really with murderous intent, because when I met this official with a big official position, I was afraid that the mountain tiger village would be destroyed after being released. Chu Chou looked at the distant backs of those thieves and shook his head slightly.
"Thank you two knights! Thank you, can the two knights go to Nanlin County, so that I can do my best to be a landlord!" Du Xiangyou said respectfully after saluting with his fists.
"It just so happens that we are passing through Nanlin County, and we will stop by with you. Chu Chou nodded in agreement.
Those guards were even more excited, not because of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, but because the girl was a five-grade sword cultivator, and this man was her master...... So how powerful should this man be, and how profound should the realm be?
In the country of reversal, there are very few people in the rivers and lakes in the realm of five grades, and there are only a few in an era, and they are all old guys.
The guards were dizzy, didn't dare to ask any questions all the way, and were cautious all the time.
And Du Xiangyou talked with Chu Chou from time to time, and most of the content of the conversation was about the customs and customs of the country, because Du Xiangyou found that this benefactor was not a native, but he spoke a standard official dialect of the Northern Wilderness. The girl would occasionally interject a few words, although the official dialect of the Northern Wilderness was not very standard, but it did not affect normal communication very much.
More than 100 miles away, not far or near. The sun is blazing during the day, and the stars are covered at night, and everyone is marching unhurriedly......
