Chapter 191: Dancheng (1)
On the way to find an inn to stay overnight, there was a lot of chaos on the street, even if someone killed someone in the street, no one cared, and the cries, screams, and roars were intertwined, as if to express the madness of the city, and the order of Dancheng had been completely disrupted.
Along the way, you can see many horse-drawn carriages carrying luggage towards the outside of Dancheng, as if they want to leave this chaotic place.
Many more people, who could not afford to leave, looked at everything with horror and numbness.
The three of them soon found an inn, and there were many people eating and drinking in the hall on the first floor of the inn.
But after the three of them entered the inn, no one came to greet them, and Jiang Yuan didn't care so much, found an empty table and sat down with Han Chao and Yuan He.
Suddenly there was a commotion outside the inn, and I saw a group of people holding sharp knives, chasing and killing another group of people, and the two sides were fighting and killing on the street and speeding away.
Yuan He saw this scene and sighed:
"With the collapse of the Giant Sword Gate's power in Dancheng, there has been a lack of power here, and chaos during this time is inevitable. Only when the people from the Star Demon Sea Martial City Branch come to take over Dan City, I'm afraid it will be more stable. β
Han Chao excitedly rejoiced:
"The Giant Sword Gate is just a second-rate force, and it is not easy to hold Dancheng for so long. At this time, Dancheng is about to be completely incorporated into the sphere of influence of the Wucheng Branch. β
Han Chao is a member of the Star Demon Sea, and the expansion of the Star Demon Sea's power is a joyous thing for him.
Jiang Yuan just smiled and drank tea, and he smelled that the inn was full of blood.
Behind the counter, the shopkeeper's body was lying there. There was also the corpse of a teenager at the top of the stairs, and the cry of a woman could be faintly heard upstairs.
But no one in the hall seemed to pay any attention to all this, eating and drinking loudly and laughing at the same time.
The conversation between Yuan He and Han Chao seemed to have attracted the attention of others.
A middle-aged man at the adjacent table turned around and said to the two:
"The two of you don't know, what the people of Dancheng are afraid of is not that there is no one in Dancheng, but that they are afraid that people from the Star Demon Sea will enter Dancheng, which is the real misfortune of Dancheng. β
Han Chao was immediately unhappy when he heard this, not to mention that there was also Master Jiang Helm by his side.
He stood up suddenly, slapped the table and pointed at the middle-aged man and said angrily:
"What are you talking about, what's wrong with Star Demon Sea entering Dan City?"
Yuan He hurriedly pulled Han Chao back to his seat, Jiang Duo was easy-going and didn't want to be troublesome. It was really unwise for Han Chao to come out in such a hurry.
The middle-aged man was not angry, he smiled:
"At first glance, you are outsiders, warriors who have just returned home from participating in the martial arts conference, right? To say that the most frightening thing in Dan County and Wu County is not the demons, but the son of the Star Demon Sea Martial City Branch, Shao Zhe! That Young Master Shao is a living person who is more vicious than demons and ghosts!"
Yuan He and Han Chao didn't answer, as members of the Star Demon Sea Gang, it was not appropriate for them to talk about a young master who was the master of the incense sect behind their backs.
The middle-aged man didn't believe the two of them, and hurriedly explained:
"You don't know, that Young Master Shao is a living evil ghost! He likes to kill and kill, and he especially likes to skin people to collect. Relying on his Lao Tzu's power to do evil in Wucheng, he provoked the anger of the heavens and people, but no one dared to care.
Now that everyone in Dancheng knows that the people from the Star Demon Sea are coming, this makes everyone panic, why? Because that Young Master Shao had put down his words at the beginning, if he broke through Dancheng one day, he would definitely wash away any people who had succumbed to the Giant Sword Gate.
Over the years that the Giant Sword Gate has ruled in Dancheng, the people in the city have basically paid money to the Giant Sword Gate for protection, and that Young Master Shao is a demon who does what he says and kills without blinking. Now you see, the rich people have run away, and the people with the relationship with the Star Demon Sea are not afraid, only the ordinary people are afraid all day long, and they are afraid that Young Master Shao will rule Dancheng. β
Yuan He and Han Chao also followed Jiang Yuan's example, drinking tea and smiling, but they didn't answer.
At this moment, I suddenly saw four or five men rushing down from the upper floor, either with sharp blades or with fierce faces, laughing at each other and coming down the stairs to the hall.
The leader of this group of men was a burly man in a wolfskin coat, the beard on his face was like a black steel needle, and he was covered with a fierce aura of rivers and lakes, but his vicious face revealed a sense of satisfaction at this time.
And the man was holding a petite girl in his arms, the girl was very delicate, but her lips were cracked and bloodstained, and one cheek was high and swollen.
Her hair and clothes were very messy, and her eyes were full of holes, and she was carried downstairs by a man like a walking corpse.
The people who were eating and drinking in the hall of the inn saw the man coming downstairs, and they all stood up and clenched their fists and shouted:
"Master Zhang!"
Even the middle-aged man who had talked to Jiang Yuan and the three of them before was like this, and respectfully called "Zhang Ye".
The man known as Zhang Ye waved his hand arrogantly, signaling that everyone did not need to be polite.
Then I saw him push the girl in his arms forward, and said loudly:
"You're welcome, everyone! We're done with our brothers, and if anyone else wants to play, just go!"
The girl happened to be pushed at Jiang Yuan's feet, she glanced at the corpse of the shopkeeper behind the counter and the corpse of the young man at the staircase, and then suddenly covered her face and broke down and cried.
The middle-aged man who had spoken to Jiang Yuan and the others before couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene:
"It's not a big thing, but it's going to be like this, hey......."
The young Han Chao couldn't help but ask:
"What's the matter?"
The middle-aged man replied:
"Zhang Ye and a few brothers happened to come to the inn to collect money, this is nothing, it is a normal thing, and the shopkeeper also obediently paid the money. But this girl just wanted to come out of the house, which was not taken by Zhang Ye. Zhang Ye wanted to play with her, but she wanted to resist. It's nothing, isn't it okay when you're done?
But the girl's younger brother ran out and attacked Zhang Ye and punched Zhang Ye. This is repaid, and the younger brother was naturally slaughtered by Zhang Ye. Originally, this was the case, but the shopkeeper couldn't figure it out when he saw that his son was dead, and he dared to curse Zhang Ye, isn't this looking for death? So he was also stabbed twice by Zhang Ye's brother.
Look at it now, the girl has been played by Zhang Ye and his brothers, and she has taken two lives in vain. Hey, if you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?"
After hearing this, Han Chao immediately looked at Zhang Ye with envy in his eyes, and sighed in a low voice:
"It's really majestic, the eldest husband should be like this!By the way, what is the origin of that Zhang Ye?"
The middle-aged man secretly glanced at Zhang Ye, and saw that Zhang Ye had returned to the table with a few brothers to drink and laugh. He lowered his voice and said:
"Now anyone in this Dancheng can be provoked, but they can't be messed with Zhang Ye. Zhang Ye is a person who has a relationship in the Star Demon Sea, and with the Star Demon Sea about to enter the Dan City, Zhang Ye will not be rising by then!"
Han Chao was even more proud when he heard this, it turned out that this Zhang Ye still relied on the Star Demon Sea where he was located, how could he be so majestic without the Star Demon Sea.
Jiang Yuan suddenly reached out and patted the girl's shoulder at this time, which frightened the girl like a frightened lamb, sitting on the ground and watching Jiang Yuan retreat in horror.
ζ±θΏ says:
"Are you from this inn, in that case, go and clean up some spare rooms for us, and prepare some more food." β
As he spoke, Jiang Yuan took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to the girl.
The maiden was still weeping in mourning, ignoring the silver ingots handed to her.
On the contrary, it was that Zhang Ye who came over after seeing the silver, he snatched the silver ingot from Jiang Yuan's hand and stuffed it into his arms, and said with a smile:
"This little brother, now I am the owner of this inn, and it is the same for me to give me this silver!"
As Zhang Ye spoke, he secretly looked at Jiang Yuan and the others.
Seeing that the three of them were extraordinary, and they were armed with blades, they only thought that the three of them were returning warriors, and suddenly the smile on Zhang Ye's face became a little more enthusiastic.
He kicked the girl on the ground violently and scolded angrily:
"Why don't you do what this little brother says!"
The girl was very afraid of Zhang Ye, she held her shoulders firmly with both hands, and her lips began to tremble with fright.
Zhang Ye didn't bother to pay attention to her, he pulled a stool and sat down at the table on Jiang Yuan's side, clasped his fists at Jiang Yuan and said:
"In Xia Zhang San, the villagers in Dancheng called me 'Zhang Ye' for face. I don't like anything else, but I like to make friends with heroes and heroes from all walks of life! Since the little brother and the two heroes have come to Zhang's land, Zhang Mou will definitely entertain the little brother well! Dare to ask this little brother his name!"
Jiang Yuan smiled and said:
"I'm sorry, but I don't like to associate with rats. β
As soon as these words came out, the keen Yuan He had already secretly put his hand on the hilt of the knife.
And Han Chao tried to behave in front of Jiang Yuan, and immediately pointed at Zhang Ye and shouted:
"What are you? and deserve to be friends with our son!"
Zhang Ye's face instantly became gloomy, and his beard like a steel needle was trembling slightly.
He asked himself to speak politely, and he never collided, but his hot face was sticking to someone's cold buttocks, if this matter spread, how would he mix in Dancheng in the future.
However, when it comes to hands-on, Zhang Ye doesn't have much confidence.
Now that the masters in Dancheng are all dead, the disciples of the Giant Sword Sect who heard the news have already fled, and the rest are all small shrimps. Zhang Ye himself is mediocre in martial arts, not to mention his brothers, and he really can't provoke these returning warriors.
Immediately, Zhang Ye could only try to save face through his background, and he deliberately bluffed and said:
"Since this little brother doesn't want to know Zhang, why should he humiliate me? I have had dinner with Lord Shao Xiang of the Star Demon Sea Martial City Branch, and I also have a good relationship with Master Shao Xiang, the son of Lord Shao Xiang! It doesn't matter if the three of you look down on me Zhang, but do you dare to look down on Star Demon Sea?"
Han Chao and Yuan He couldn't help but smile strangely when they heard this, the Jiang Duo Lord of the Star Demon Sea was sitting here, didn't this Zhang Ye ask for trouble when he said such a thing? Immediately, the two of them looked at Zhang Ye's eyes, and they were full of pity.
Jiang Yuan was already impatient:
"That's a lot of nonsense, kill him. β
Yuan He was about to draw his sword, but Han Chao hurriedly stopped him:
"Let me come!"
After finishing speaking, Han Chao took out his knife and grabbed it towards Zhang Ye.
