Chapter 11 Outside Jiuping County
The morning dawn is just dawning, and the morning sun has not yet had time to disperse the mist that envelops the heavens and the earth.
The city gate of Jiuping County has been opened, and there are several rural farmers and vegetable sellers on the official road who are preparing to go to the morning market, taking advantage of the dawn to carry baskets of freshly picked vegetables into the city.
One of them, a middle-aged farmer in plain clothes who looked like he was in his forties, didn't know whether he was tired of walking, or wanted to wait for someone, walked slowly to the side of the road, put down his flat shoulder, sat on a big rock, took out a cigarette stick from his waist, loaded it with tobacco and smoked a dry tobacco, and there was a boy of six or seven years old next to him, looking around excitedly, and when he saw the farmer sitting down, he ran to his side, and kept urging him to get up quickly.
The farmer touched the boy's head with a smile, took two puffs of his cigarette fiercely, knocked on the head of the cigarette gun, and walked forward again without hurrying. He had only taken two steps, but no one followed, so he turned his head curiously and looked at the child who was standing quietly in place, looking at the woods by the roadside.
The farmer followed the child's gaze and saw a Taoist with fluttering sleeves, dressed in a simple robe, and a handsome face, slowly walking out of the mist of the mountains and forests not far away.
This Taoist looks young, only sixteen or seventeen years old, but the indifferent and peaceful expression on his face makes people calm and convincing temperament, but it also gives people a feeling that is not commensurate with his appearance and age.
Li Haocheng, who killed Feixue Sanren and avoided Mrs. Hu, rushed to Jiuping County, the city gate was closed, and he had no choice but to breathe outside the city for a night, but he didn't want to open his eyes, and saw a big and a small person standing together on the side of the road, looking at themselves, smiling at them, and then turning his head to look at Jiuping County.
The small county town, the city wall is more than two zhang high, nearly eight meters, the wall is bluish, thick and there are no gaps, it is made of bluestone carved with a variety of runes and incantations, which is mixed with special adhesive to beat, not only solid, but also with the formation in the city, the surrounding leyline trend is connected into a piece.
In the face of this kind of defense, not to mention personal magic and martial arts, even if thousands of soldiers put up a military formation and use the secret skills of soldiers to hit it, they may not be able to shake down a few fragments.
In addition, there is a moat on the periphery of the city wall, sparkling, the widest place, more than three zhang, and the faint Shinto breath on it is obviously a heavy defense of the county.
When I arrived yesterday, the sun was setting, it was not good to get too close to observe, Li Haocheng did not take a good look at Jiuping County, at this time, I couldn't help but secretly sigh in my heart: "The county is already like this, no wonder this realm Dao Law is sage, there are still a lot of records in many histories, tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding a city, and it took several years to exhaust the food in the city before it was captured......"
Li Haocheng walked to the city gate with the vegetable vendor, and before he had walked a few steps, he heard a loud sound of horses' hooves behind him.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way for Lao Tzu!" The arrogant roar made Li Haocheng turn around with some curiosity, and saw five or six people galloping from afar with a spur, rolling up smoke and dust.
The leader was a young girl in a black power suit, and behind the girl were several tall men dressed as domestic slaves, constantly shouting and waving horsewhips to drive away pedestrians walking on the side of the road.
Li Haocheng took two steps back, and with the other vendors, flashed to the side of the road, but inadvertently left the boy who had just walked with him, because he was afraid that he would not notice the stones on the ground, and fell in the middle of the side of the road. The farmer, who was the elder, was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward to pull, but his reaction was no match for the group of people who came galloping, and the farmer who had just picked up the child had not had time to run out of the official road, and the horse was already only five meters away from him.
"Stinky old man, isn't it too late to think about leaving now?" A house slave with a meaty face looked at the farmer with a sneer, and without thinking about it, he just pulled out a long whip from his waist.
Such a move provoked a burst of exclamations around, Li Haocheng had already seen that the horse ridden by this slave was a black and brown horse, this horse was strong, running, extremely fast, even if it was not accelerated with all its strength, it could knock a hundred pounds of people away, such a powerful blessing, a whip down, the farmer would not die or be crippled.
Li Haocheng is not a ruthless person after all, he can't be indifferent when he sees such a scene, with a flick of his wrist, a copper flew out and hit the slave's shoulder, and the whip he waved turned around because of this, and slapped straight on the slave's face.
"Ah!" came the scream from the mouth of the slave, and with a bloody face, he fell off his horse with his head in his arms, and rolled around on the ground, screaming loudly, and his voice was so terrible that it made people feel like they were crying.
Li Haocheng casually glanced at the long whip that fell to the ground, and saw that the whip made of cowhide was covered with tiny barbs that flashed with cold light, such a whip, not to mention being drawn, even if it was rubbed, it was inevitably hung with a layer of skin, no wonder the slave shouted so fiercely.
and thou shalt not live. Li Haocheng sighed in his heart, shook his head and continued to walk towards Jiuping County.
"Boy, the person who injured me still wants to walk away like this? Holding the horse, the black-clothed girl raised her eyebrows slightly, like a sharp blade that was poised to come out, and her pretty face full of heroism showed a trace of gloom.
The girl was very angry, she was not yet twenty years old, she touched the innate threshold of martial arts, she was known as a martial arts genius, she didn't expect her house slave to be injured under her nose, and what made her even more angry was that although she knew that someone did it, she didn't see who it was. At this time, her clothes and manners were different from others, and Li Haocheng, who came from other places, became her target of venting, and as soon as she raised the whip in her hand, the house slave behind her immediately rode forward and stopped in front of Li Haocheng.
Li Haocheng casually glanced at the house slaves who came up, stared at the girl and asked, "I don't know what you are doing to stop the poor road? If you say that it was the hand of the poor road just now, do you have any evidence?"
The girl in black didn't look at Li Haocheng the same, and the house slaves who surrounded her pulled out their long whips from their waists one after another, and sneered at Li Haocheng: "Boy, what is the evidence? What my young lady said is the evidence! If you know each other, then give Lao Tzu and I will kneel down obediently, and beg you Lao Tzu to beat you, and as soon as Lao Tzu and I are happy, I may let you die as a dog." ”
Li Haocheng looked at the girl's accustomed and playful expression, and knew that this girl didn't know that she was the one who did it just now, she was purely to vent her dissatisfaction.
The corners of Li Haocheng's mouth rose slightly, and several coppers fell into his hands, revealing a contemptuous smile, and mocking: "Do you think that with their group of waste, you can deal with the poor Dao? This young lady, should I say that you are too naïve, or should I say that you are too small?"
"Not good. As soon as Li Haocheng's voice fell, the girl in black knew that something was wrong, but before she could react, the house slaves who followed her had already fallen from their horses in unison, and their broken teeth mixed with blood spit out of their mouths.
"Good boy, it turns out that it's really you!" The girl in black has always been arrogant, the first time she looked away, it can be said that she didn't pay attention, but the second time she looked away, it only showed that she had a problem with her eyesight. The annoyed and angry girl kicked her jade feet, jumped up from the horse, and appeared above Li Haocheng like lightning, and Qianqianyu's hand was aimed at Li Haocheng's neck and slashed off.
Li Haocheng's face was cold, his body was short, he slid backwards, the sharp palm knife slashed in front of his forehead, and his left hand poked out from the bottom to the top, like a fish swimming in water, and struck the lower abdomen of the girl in black with agility and agility.
Unexpectedly, Li Haocheng's face changed slightly, and her beautiful delicate body was twisted into an exaggerated posture as if she was boneless, narrowly avoiding the key points of the dantian, and flew back a few meters with the help of Li Haocheng's palm.
"The reaction is not slow!" Li Haocheng didn't care about the girl dodging his attack, his footsteps moved, his body rose into the air, and he appeared in front of the girl like a pine shaking crane dance a few meters away, his left hand stretched out, his fingers together, and cut it off at the neck as she did just now.
The girl's face changed, her body retreated rapidly, Li Haocheng smiled coldly, her steps changed, followed by her, her palms stretched out again and again, and she cut off the girl's neck.
"Bastard, scum!" The girl gritted her teeth, hating her heart to the extreme, she had already seen that Li Haocheng's cultivation was not much higher than her, but the speed was slightly faster than her, and she was busy dodging many tricks that could not be used at all, and after a few times, her exquisite black power suit was already stained with a little dust, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
