Chapter 219: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars
Bai Tang did not give the soldiers time to decide, and after killing the officer, he walked towards them.
"What are you going to do in this village?" Bai Tang asked, and he wanted to confirm the purpose of this hundred-man army one last time.
Although the soldiers were already frightened, after all, they had been formally trained, and they could still force their composure at this time. One of the soldiers, who had a relatively better psychological quality, had already replied: "We are here to rob ......."
Before he finished speaking, another soldier on the side hurriedly pulled the soldier, and then said with a smile: "We are here to inspect." ”
"Patrol?" Bai Tang raised his eyebrows, "You and this village belong to the jurisdiction of the same city lord?"
"Yes, yes, yes. The soldier continued to smile at him.
Although Bai Tang didn't fully believe the soldier's words, he really couldn't be sure if what the other party said was true or false. Bai Tang didn't know much about the west, and he didn't know anything about this village, so naturally he wouldn't know what kind of soldiers were dressed in the main city to which this village belonged.
But Bai Tang preferred to believe that the other party was lying, because he had already killed the other party's officers, and if these soldiers really belonged to the same force as this village, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Bai Tang to be caught in the middle?
At this time, the village chief had already found someone to push a cart of things to pay the protection fee, and when he came to Baitang's side with the cart, the smile that was still rippling on his face suddenly froze.
"This ...... What's going on?" the village chief looked at the corpse of the officer on the ground with a bitter expression, and since the officer came to collect protection money almost once a month, the village chief recognized the officer's identity at a glance.
Bai Tang asked the village chief directly: "Do they and this village belong to the same city lord's jurisdiction?"
The village chief shook his head.
Bai Tang immediately said: "That's the enemy, you don't have to worry about their revenge, I will kill them all, if anyone comes to ask, you can just blame me for this." ”
The village chief's eyes lit up slightly, and he was no longer willing to endure such a life of being controlled by others. The monthly tax was already a large amount, and the protection money to be paid to these soldiers had already formed a huge burden on the village.
If it can be done once and for all, of course the village chief will be happy.
"Are you sure?" asked the village chief, with some skepticism.
Bai Tang nodded, and didn't say anything more, because action is the most reliable proof.
The village chief watched Bai Tang weave between the soldiers, and the expression on his face changed from doubt to surprise, and then from surprise to shock.
He really didn't expect that Bai Tang's appearance looked so young, how could he have such a proud ability?
This world is martial, whether it is the East or the West, and strong warriors will always be respected by people. Because almost everyone in this world aspires to become a powerful martial artist, but most people can't find a way, and in the end they can only be an ordinary person with unwillingness.
Under the watchful eye of the village chief, more than 100 soldiers were soon killed or wounded, and nearly half of them were killed. Although Bai Tang was stained with blood, it was all from those soldiers, and he himself was not injured at all, but he just consumed some physical strength.
The morale of these soldiers was not high, at this time, seeing that Bai Tang was like a killing god, none of them were Bai Tang's opponents with a hundred of them, and there was only fifty people left, so how could there be any hope of victory, and continuing to fight was just adding dozens of corpses to the ground.
Thinking of this, the soldiers had completely lost their will to fight, but fortunately they came on horseback, and at this time they all felt that there was still a glimmer of life, so they immediately turned their horses' heads and hurriedly drove their horses to and fro.
But what made these soldiers desperate was that Bai Tang actually ran faster than a horse...... It was also the first time they had seen such people, and some of the soldiers were immediately frightened and fell off their horses.
In the end, all the soldiers died at the hands of Bai Tang, and the horses of those soldiers were left behind.
When Bai Tang returned to the village chief, the village chief was speechless in shock. At the same time, in the midst of this shock, there was still a slight fear.
This entire village is no match for the more than 100 soldiers, and naturally it will not be an opponent for Bai Tang. If Bai Tang had ill intentions towards this village, then the village could only be slaughtered by others, and it was completely impossible to resist.
Therefore, the village chief had already begun to worry that Bai Tang would suddenly show an evil face, he looked at Bai Tang with trepidation, and finally spoke first: "This hero, you have helped our village so much, just say what you want, I will definitely satisfy you as much as possible." ”
The village chief had prepared for the worst, no matter whether Bai Tang wanted money or people, as long as he could give it, he would never have any reservations. As long as you can save the whole village and save the lives of everyone in the village, no matter how much you pay, it will be worth it for anyone in this village.
Bai Tang couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't want the benefits, but now that the village chief has mentioned it, Bai Tang also has some ideas.
Seeing Bai Tang's complexion change for a while, the village chief's mood couldn't help but fluctuate.
When Bai Tang opened his mouth, the village chief's heart couldn't help but rise.
"Can you give me some money?" Bai Tang asked.
When the village chief heard this, his heart was suddenly relieved, and he immediately put on a smile and said to Bai Tang: "Since the hero is in need, it is naturally no problem. I'm going to prepare for heroes, but I don't know how much money does the hero think will satisfy you?"
Bai Tang frowned and thought for a while, then looked at the horses on the side, and finally said: "You estimate the price, I can't ask for your money for nothing, those horses are also my trophies, I will sell them to you, you see how much money is appropriate for me." ”
The village chief frowned slightly, and at first he seemed to be a little reluctant, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then let me do the math and give the hero an answer later." ”
Seeing the village chief's expression, Bai Tang immediately said, "If these horses are not easy to handle, then forget it." If you lend me a hundred taels of silver, I will find a way to pay you back. ”
The village chief was slightly stunned, thinking that he had misheard, and couldn't help but ask, "What did you say?"
Bai Tang thought that the village chief couldn't come up with a hundred taels, so he said: "If you are embarrassed, fifty taels can also be ......."
The village chief made sure that he had heard it correctly this time, and at this time, he naturally no longer doubted Bai Tang's intentions, and immediately patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, hero, I will estimate the price of these horses according to your instructions, and I will never lose a penny of you!"
Seeing this, Bai Tang couldn't help but feel relieved. In this way, he can continue to be a rich man......
"By the way, please leave me four horses, my friends and I will use them. When Bai Tang was immersed in the joy of making a fortune, he did not forget to remind the village chief.
"Well, don't worry. The village chief said with a smile.
This time, the village chief laughed from the bottom of his heart.
