Volume 1 Don't Use the Hidden Dragon Chapter 14 A Raccoon Dog
"Is this little deer calling for help like himself?" the Young Dragon Lord couldn't help but think.
When Alanjiyi arrived, he was also surprised to see this scene. She originally thought that the Young Dragon Lord would kill the wolves together, but the Young Dragon Lord didn't care about the wolves that were eating the deer, but hugged the deer and said to Alan Jiyi, "Let's go!"
Alan Jiyi didn't understand why the Young Dragon Lord did this, and asked, "Don't we care about those wolves?"
"Dogs travel thousands of miles to eat, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, that's nature. If all the wolves that eat meat are killed, other species will occupy the forest, which will cause the ecological balance of the forest to be out of balance. When there are no wolves, those deer lose their instinct to run for their lives in the face of danger. Leaving these wolves behind, leaving behind the natural law of survival of the fittest. ”
The young dragon lord held the young deer, and Alanjiyi led the horse and continued to hurry. When they walked out of the forest, they met an old man who was collecting medicine. The old man is a native of a nearby village, most of whom cannot afford to eat high salt due to poverty, and suffers from big neck disease, and the old man goes into the mountains to collect medicine to cure those who suffer from big neck disease.
In fact, the old man also knows very well that those patients with big necks will get better as long as they eat salt last time. It's just that during this time, Xianningzi blocked all the salt, and even if the price increased, it would not be sold.
Many villagers didn't understand why Xianningzi did this, not only did they occupy the brine spring and prevent outsiders from taking it, but he didn't even sell it when he bought salt from him at a high price. The villagers who live in a radius of more than 20 miles from Luquan only can't eat salt, so is there such a truth in the world?
The young dragon lord left a bag of silver coins for the old man who collected the medicine, and asked the old man to heal the fawn and release it back into the forest. Then he and Alanjiyi marched towards Xianning Town, and the young dragon lord secretly decided that this time he must find out what tricks Xianningzi is playing.
After climbing over the snow-capped mountains and walking more than ten miles, I saw the houses of the residents of Xianning Town. Many of the houses were built of wood and were scattered around the castle. The fortress made of huge stones is impregnable, and there is no doubt that it is the old nest of Xianningzi.
The snow on the road into Xianning has melted, and in a salt merchant's courtyard, a large chunk is pouring salt on the snow-covered ground. The two young dragon lords entered the courtyard and dismounted, and the big man stopped what he was doing and asked in a very unkind word: "Hey, you two strangers, what are you doing here?"
"I'm Baron Shang Fang from Maple Leaf Forest Village," the Young Dragon Lord replied with a smile, "Our village has been out of salt for a while, and everyone in the village has a big neck disease, so I'm here to buy salt." ”
"Lao Tzu doesn't care where you come from, and it doesn't matter who you are. Hey, Lao Tzu's salt, just don't sell it. ”
Alanjiyi said, "You have used this salt to spread on the ground to melt the snow, why do we pay for it and you still don't sell it?"
"Don't say that Lao Tzu uses salt to melt snow, even if Lao Tzu dumps it into the pit, you can't care about it. In short, this salt is not sold to you strangers. ”
"Excuse me," the Young Dragon Lord turned, "Let's ask elsewhere." ”
The young dragon lord asked several salt merchants one after another, but they didn't sell salt to outsiders, and there was no reason why they didn't sell it. In the end, he asked a hunched old man, only to learn that they had received Xian Ningzi's death order, and if anyone dared to sell salt to the outside, the whole family would be killed.
Two days ago, someone took the risk to sell salt to the outside world, and as a result, the whole family, regardless of men, women, and children, was ordered by Xianningzi to pour brine and die. Xianning Town is dozens of miles away, Xianningzi is the king of heaven, no one has anything to do with him, and no one dares to sing against him.
If it weren't for the abundance of salt in Hanoi City, it is very likely that Hanoi City, like the villagers in the Maple Leaf Forest, would have suffered from a big neck disease. In that case, the soldier will not even have a problem walking, let alone going to the battlefield to fight.
Xianningzi's method of cutting off salt was really vicious, and how many innocent people were harmed. Now it is obvious that Xian Ningzi is determined to fight against the Royal Dragon Clan.
The young dragon lord and the little dragon girl came to the gate of Xianningzi's castle, and after reporting their intentions, a person in charge came out of the small door and scolded and said, "It's the survey again?
"No, the first few times I didn't get a good deal when I went back," the young dragon lord nodded and said, "The top sent us here again!"
"From the perspective of Lao Tzu," the man said angrily, "you think that my lord's money is easy to take, and you have come to collect money in turn!"
"What?" the Young Dragon Lord asked in surprise.
"Don't you know?" the man asked.
The Young Dragon Lord shook his head, "Are you saying that the three people in front of you have all received the benefits of Master Xianningzi?"
"Well, isn't that, so? Are you kid pretending to be confused with Lao Tzu here?"
"Back to the adults, the little ones really don't know that there is such a thing. ”
"That's good," the man threw a bag of money to the young dragon master, "take this bag of money and get out of here as soon as possible, don't bother our master again." ”
"Why did you give me a bag of silver for no reason?"
"Didn't you kid come to Xianning Town to survey the population? What should I say when I go back, I don't need Lao Tzu to teach you, right?"
"I'm sorry," the young dragon lord handed the money to the man, "The master is here to see Xianningzi today, your salt is not sold, and the master will not accept this money." ”
"A little tempered," the man looked at the young dragon master, "The name of our master is also called by your yellow-haired boy?" Lao Tzu sees that your kid is impatient, come and draw it!"
"I haven't been fighting for a long time," the young dragon lord moved his shins, "the bones of his body are just itchy." The master spends money to buy salt, you turtle grandsons don't sell it, the master is ready to beat up the old boy Xianningzi. ”
"Lao Tzu saw that you were toasting and not eating, and you were digging into the pit with a lantern, and you were here to find death. ”
"So, you yourself admit that Xianningzi's castle is a stinking pit, and you are all a piece of stinking?"
The man was speechless by the young dragon lord, turned around and shouted to the castle gate: "Reckless man, you come out and teach this guy who doesn't know the height of the sky and the earth to teach a good lesson." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, and a giant with a length of one foot and two feet came out. The giant wore a bull's skull and a ring in his nose, and it was not difficult to see that his thin clothes were wrapped around a strong muscle.
The young dragon lord looked at it, "Wow! What a big guy!"
The man in charge said to the giant, "Go, beat out the of that boy, and beat him into his again, and beat him with his again." ”
The reckless man directly rammed towards the Young Dragon Lord, and without stepping a foot, he felt that the earth was trembling. If it weren't for the young dragon lord's timely dodge, he was almost knocked away.
Although the strength of the reckless man is strong, his body is too bulky, and his movements are not as vigorous as those of the young dragon master. Therefore, every attack of the reckless man was easily defused by the young dragon lord. But every time the young dragon lord counterattacked the reckless man's body, it was like tickling him, and he couldn't hurt the reckless man at all.
The young dragon lord punched the reckless man in the abdomen, but he was bounced away. The Young Dragon Lord sighed in surprise, "Hmm, is this minotaur so thick?"
After a few rounds, they all took the other party. At this time, the reckless man crashed into the young dragon lord, and the young dragon lord flashed behind the big tree at once. Unexpectedly, the reckless man actually knocked down the tree, but he didn't have anything to do with his body!
Just when the young dragon lord and the reckless man were in a hot fight, seven or eight fierce and vicious people rushed out of the courtyard inside the castle gate. Some of them have scars on their faces, some have one-eyed eyes wearing blindfolds, some are bald, some are fat and strong, and some are thin monkeys with sharp-beaked monkey gills.
These fierce criminals are a group of gangsters known as the "Eight King Kongs", who rob houses and houses in the Hetao area, doing all kinds of evil, and full of evil.
Seeing this, Alanji wanted to draw his sword to help the young dragon master. The Young Dragon Lord said: "The one who came is not good, let's leave here first!"
After that, the young dragon lord and the little dragon girl escaped from the road.
After leaving Xianning Town, Xiaolongnu said: "If Shaolong mainly draws his sword, we can stand together." ”
"It's not time to draw the sword yet," the young dragon lord replied, "I don't know the details of Xianningzi yet, but in today's battle, nine masters came out." I don't know how many vicious people are still hiding in his fortress. ”
"The Fierce Eight Men ......"
"Those eight people, I heard Grandpa mention them when I was a child, they are the notorious thieves Eight King Kongs. ”
"The Eight Great Donkey Kongs, the Eight Great Donnies who slaughtered a city with eight people?" asked Alanjiyi in surprise.
"That's right! The combat power of these eight King Kongs is very likely to be on par with the Ten Great Saint Warriors. Against such a master, coupled with that honest bull-headed man, I am not sure that I will win. ”
"Why did these vicious people all fall under the command of Xianningzi?"
"Money can make the devil grind, Xianningzi controls the salt, and it is naturally rich and oily. Those vicious people didn't rob him, but worked for him, it seems that this Xianningzi is not simple!"
"The combination of Haoqiang and bandits?
"Now it seems that Gongliang Bo is nominally the lord of the Hetao region, but in fact, Xianningzi is really the lord of the Hetao region. If we had attacked Hanoi City at that time and Xian Ningzi had come to the aid of Gong Liang Bo, we might not have been able to win. Now that I think about it, I can't help but feel a chill on my back!"
"In addition, when attacking Hanoi City, the Zuoqiu clan in Chaoyang Town, the Xie Qiu clan in Dugu Town, and the Yuqiu clan in Hekou Town did not send troops to aid Gongliang Bo. And after we defeated Gong Liang Bo, they quickly surrendered. ”
"Surrender, I'm afraid that they are not surrendering at all, but going their own way to protect themselves!"
"These four families...... One in the north of Hanoi City, one in the east, one in the west, and one in the south...... It is just the formation of a siege of Hanoi City. ”
"I'm aware of that, too. If the situation changes after the beginning of spring, and Gongsun Jingyang really presses the border, it is difficult to guarantee that this raccoon dog will not turn back. Therefore, the most urgent thing to solve at the moment is these four major families. ”
Alanjiyi analyzed: "If you solve the Xianqiu clan in Xianning Town, you can solve the current salt shortage. Solving the Yuqiu clan in Hekou Town is equivalent to controlling the waterway port. Chaoyang Town in the east and Dugu Town in the west, surrounded by mountains and rivers, are dangerous places, and if you solve them, you can ensure the stability of Hanoi City. ”
"That's right," the Young Dragon Lord affirmed, "let's go back and convene a council to discuss how to solve this mound." ”
Just as the Young Dragon Lord was preparing for the stability of the Hetao area, the four major families had already united and decided to give the Royal Dragon Clan of Hanoi City an unexpected surprise on Chinese New Year's Eve. The four major families raised a total of more than 5,000 troops and prepared to attack the city of Hanoi.
Before the young dragon lord could deal with the strong enemy Gongsun Jingyang in the spring, he made a mess first, and he underestimated the strength of the land snake that had been entrenched in the Hetao area for thousands of years. The Dragon Clan can capture a city with hundreds of men, but it may not be able to defend it with 3,000 men.
The bull-headed reckless man, the Eight King Kongs, and the barons and warriors who disobeyed the Dragon Clan all joined the camp of the four major families. Now the Royal Dragon Clan is facing a real war, a war to decide who is the lord of the Hetao.
Lord Shaolong's trip to Xianning Town made him understand the truth, that is, most of the officials who investigated the population were bribed or coerced. In the end, the number of people surveyed may not be accurate, which also created an opportunity for the four major families to rebel.
Who would have thought that the Hetao area had a total population of 60,000, which would have added 5,000 elite soldiers from the four major families out of thin air. How much water is in between? How many transactions are unrememberable? The young dragon lord does not know.
At this moment, the two Great Elders and the First Cadre Saint Warrior were the same as the Young Dragon Lord, feeling that it was easy to build a city, but it was very difficult to govern a region.
From the perspective of the four major families, they have been rooted in this place for thousands of years, and they rebelled to defend their family interests. From the perspective of the Royal Dragon Clan, if they want revenge and restore the country, they need a base that can continue to develop. Everyone has taken a fancy to the Hetao area, there is no place, only swords and soldiers.
The two armies set up positions outside the city of Hanoi, and the sound of trumpets and war drums was deafening. The contest between the Ten Great Divine Warriors and the Eight Great Vajra was inseparable, and there was no winner or loser. Three bull-headed men rushed into the camp of the Dragon Clan, trampling the Dragon Clan's soldiers mercilessly.
The bull-headed man has rough skin and thick flesh, and is particularly resistant to beating, and Wu Chengzi fought with the bull-headed man for several rounds, but he was not subdued. What's more, it is three bull-headed reckless men, this is even more incomprehensible, and the dignified heir of the sword saint was actually hammered by three bull-headed reckless men.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the Royal Dragon Clan relied on the advantages of armor and weapons to temporarily stabilize the scene, and the casualties were not serious. But those baron warriors who took refuge in the four major families were not fuel-efficient lamps, they were all brave and good at fighting, and they could compete with the three-star warriors that Shang Zhang called them. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Chengzi ordered the troops to retreat and defend the city.
There are only 2,000 soldiers of the Royal Dragon Clan, and there are 5,000 soldiers of the four major families. Even if there is a huge disparity in numbers, if there are dragons fighting, the Royal Dragon Clan will win the battle in one go. However, the enemy has three bull-headed reckless men, the enemy's morale is high, his own morale is low, and the city of Hanoi is in danger.
The battle lasted from noon to afternoon, and seeing that the city of Hanoi was about to be undefended, the two dragon knights had not yet appeared on the battlefield. The two Great Elders couldn't help but think that if the two Dragon Knights didn't come back to support Hanoi City, the Dragon Clan would be doomed.
