Chapter 218: Old Man Grows Stronger

Today is a day of robbery, and the blame can only be blamed on Bai Tang for not looking at the yellow calendar when they went out, resulting in them not being destined to sleep well tonight.

Naturally, the village prepared a "protection fee", and when the heavy sound of horses' hooves approached, the villagers knew that the army was coming.

The village chief had already hurriedly got up from the bed, hastily dressed, and then walked out of the house with the key to the village treasury, ready to take the army officers to the treasury to collect the "protection money".

Because there is no specific time for the army to attack, it only forms an approximate cycle, but it is impossible to determine the first seven and the last eight, mainly depending on the mood of the army officers.

Perhaps the officer won the gamble today, and he was in a good mood, so he said to his subordinates: "I'm in a good mood today, let's go and rob it." ”

Or maybe the officer was in a bad mood that day, so he said: "Lao Tzu is very unhappy today, let's go and rob it." ”

The officer's subordinates have always been forbidden by order, as long as the officer gives the order, no matter what the reason, even if it is such a reason that the officer is in a bad mood, they will be ready to go, just wait for the officer to take the lead, and they will follow them.

These soldiers also know what they are going to do, things like this have always been more oil and water, but they don't need to pay anything, as long as they follow the officers to strengthen their momentum, the soldiers are naturally very happy.

Anyway, it's not their own territory, and they don't have any psychological pressure at all.

When this army came outside the village tonight, Baitang and the others were naturally alarmed. As a person who practices martial arts, he is often particularly sensitive to abnormal movements, and the sound of a large number of horses' hooves in the middle of the night is naturally quite abnormal.

When Bai Tang walked out of the courtyard, he saw more than 100 cavalry scattered outside the village.

As an outsider, Bai Tang didn't know the rules of the West, so he naturally didn't understand why the army came to his door.

Before he understood the purpose of this army, Bai Tang naturally would not do anything, because he did not know the relationship between this army and the village.

Naturally, this army also saw Bai Tang, and the officers of the army immediately shouted at Bai Tang: "Boy, what are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you hand over the valuable things at home quickly!"

After hearing the officer's words, Bai Tang at least understood that this army was not his own. In this way, as an outsider with a full sense of justice, Bai Tang felt that he still needed to help this village.

After all, I happened to live here tonight, and this army disturbed Bai Tang's clear dream, even if Bai Tang didn't get up angry, he wouldn't be in a good mood at this time.

Due to the ruling characteristics of the West, Bai Tang was not worried about how much trouble he would bring to himself after provoking this army. Because most of the city lords don't deal with each other, even if Bai Tang provokes this army and provokes the city lord behind the army, as long as Bai Tang doesn't go to the area under the jurisdiction of that city lord, then he doesn't need to have any worries. Anyway, it was impossible for that city lord to go to another city lord's area to arrest people, unless the city lord was ready for an all-out war.

So, Bai Tang stepped forward, and at the same time one hand was already on the handle of the umbrella.

The officer had already sensed that something was wrong, he had extremely rich experience in robbery, and he had never seen a villager who dared to resist, not to mention that Bai Tang even had an umbrella in his hand.

On this big night, and it was a sunny day, it was impossible for normal people to carry an umbrella with them. So either Bai Tang is abnormal, or the umbrella in Bai Tang's hand is abnormal.

A person who can become an officer has a certain amount of eyesight. This officer had already sensed the difference in Bai Tang, and he was naturally not so stupid as to think that Bai Tang was not a normal person.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and the officer has already determined that the umbrella in Bai Tang's hand must be a hidden mystery. It's just that after thinking of this, the officer was not so worried, because he would be wrong about Bai Tang's intentions.

The officer thought so at the moment, since the umbrella in Bai Tang's hand might be a treasure, then Bai Tang was very likely to come to offer a treasure. After all, it is difficult to feel safe living in a village where there are not many people to protect them, and most of the young people in these villages will find a way to leave the village and find another way to make a living, even if it is much safer to work as a worker in the nearest town than to live in the village.

At least the town was protected by walls and regular guards, and even if there were not many guards, the risk of looting was obviously much smaller.

Most of the guards in the village were formed spontaneously by the villagers, and there were also martial artists hired by the village chief from outside. These people had no formal training, and were much worse than the regular army in terms of skill and discipline. Unless the village is particularly wealthy, and the number and strength of the hired people are relatively strong, it is possible to resist the attacks of soldiers and bandits, otherwise it is just a matter of giving their lives for nothing.

However, most villages are much safer after paying the "protection fee", except for the occasional encounter with bandits, the life of the villagers is still very peaceful.

It's just that the "protection fee" is a burden after all, and the villagers have to look at the face of the army after paying the protection fee, so the pressure of such a life is undoubtedly very great, and the villagers naturally hope to be able to get rid of it.

The officer thought that Bai Tang wanted to be free from this oppressed life, so he naturally stretched out his hand to Bai Tang and said: "Okay, quickly bring your treasure to me to see, if it can satisfy me, I can consider letting you follow me in the future, although you have to start from the lowest soldiers, but at least it is much better than your current life." ”

When Bai Tang heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and then said, "I'm afraid that you can't stand my baby." ”

The officer's face sank: "What's so unbearable? Don't talk nonsense, quickly bring the baby, or I'll grab it." ”

Bai Tang immediately smiled and said, "I'll give you the baby now, you must take it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Tang had already drawn out the sword in the umbrella, and at this moment, the distance between him and the officer was only two steps away.

The black umbrella and the black sword are inconspicuous in this black night. When Bai Tang's sword was drawn, the officer had not yet reacted, and when the sword had already stabbed the officer's throat, the officer didn't even see the sword in Bai Tang's hand.

This scene immediately shocked the soldiers behind the officer into a cold sweat, they had not experienced a war for a long time, and they had not died for a long time.

It wasn't until this moment that the soldiers were alarmed. It turns out that they will die too...... As a soldier, it is very likely that one day he will die in battle. It's just that these soldiers have become accustomed to it, and they have gradually ignored it.

Suddenly they were scared, and suddenly they were a little overwhelmed......

At this time, should they flee or fight?
