Volume 1 The Mystery of the Hidden Dragon Chapter 8 The Unexpected Unreasonable Extraordinary
On the other side, the armor had already entered the hinterland of the enemy formation, and the sand bandit leader and others who were far away on the sand dunes also saw his figure.
"It's the monster ......"
Miza's pupils constricted.
"What, do you know this person?" The leader of the sand bandits on the side was full of fear, and the lethality of the armor made him look terrified.
"That guy's name is armor, he used to be a wanted criminal in the clouds, and now he is a Great Wall Guard, the last time I was ambushed, his arm was cut off by him!"
Miza gritted her teeth.
That ambush killed his men and lost an arm, so he had no choice but to take refuge in another gang of sand bandits, and with the remaining men and horses, he barely became a small leader, but he couldn't make a comeback.
The leader of the sand bandits was taken aback: "The people of the Great Wall came so quickly?"
"Boss, let's get out of here. Misa hastened to suggest.
"But he's only one ......"
"Maybe the other Great Wall soldiers are hiding, and even if it's just him, we may not be able to withstand it. ”
"Why?"
"This ...... He has a special ability to burst out with demonic power, and our people can't stop him. ”
Miza's voice trembled slightly, and she trembled secretly.
His hatred for the armor was unforgettable, but the sense of fear was even more profound, and he had nightmares more than once, dreaming of the armor under the loss of control of the demon armor, the figure of Shura, almost became his nightmare.
The leader of the sand bandits hesitated for a while, and when he saw that the armor was getting closer by some distance, his heart trembled, and then he made up his mind, whistled, and shouted:
"Withdraw!"
The people of the Great Wall may have arrived, and it seems that they can't attack Dayue Village on their side, so there is no need to fight here.
Moreover, as soon as the armor joined the battlefield, the casualties of the sand bandits skyrocketed, and the lethality of an extraordinary strong man was not comparable to ordinary people.
It's better to run away.
The leader of the sand bandits thought that this was not cowardice, but an improvisation.
After all, there is Miza's example in the past, and he doesn't want to bury his family because of his head iron.
"If you cut the meat at a small loss, you should make a ......," the leader of the sand bandits comforted himself.
With the order of the leader of the sand bandits, the sand bandits who were besieging Dayue Village gathered their formations, spontaneously formed formations, and withdrew in different directions.
Miza galloped with the leader of the bandits, as if he were followed by a hungry tiger, and he turned back from time to time on his horse, measuring the distance between himself and his armor, like a sand deer hiding from a predator.
The armor didn't bother to wipe the blood sprinkled all over his body, and chased after Miza's figure, striding all the way, but the other party galloped and became smaller and smaller in his sight.
Finally, Armor's pace stopped, and he silently watched Misa disappear into the sand.
He looked back and saw that there were nearly two hundred abandoned and seriously injured sand bandits lying under the tower of Dayue Village, and no one followed him to pursue them, just watched the sand bandits scatter in a hurry.
...... Understandable.
These people are not the Great Wall Guards after all.
The armor stood silent for a while, and then walked towards Otsuki Village.
Back at the entrance of the village, the militia team was already cleaning the battlefield, Kunluo and other hundreds of people did not intervene, put away their weapons, went down the tower and stood crookedly, without any standing, waiting aside, and the surrounding militia was faintly surrounding them while cleaning up.
Wang Nian took Wang Xiaosha to greet him, still with a serious face, and nodded:
"Thank you for your help. ”
"The duty lies. ”
Armor nodded expressionlessly.
Wang Nian turned his head to look at Kunluo and the others, looked at them carefully, and then retracted his gaze and asked tentatively: "The sand bandits have been repulsed, we plan to send someone to bring the villagers back, do you want to be together?"
Kai heard the vigilance of others, paused, and said lightly: "Okay, let's go over together." ”
Everyone cleaned up, entered the dark passage again, and made their way to the hideout.
The armor took Kunluo and his party, and Wang Nian handed over the command to the adjutant, leaving a part of the militia to guard the village, and he took all the remaining militiamen to follow the armor and his party, vaguely sandwiching the armor and his party.
There was silence all the way, and everyone followed the secret passage to the hideout, and it was already afternoon.
Wang Nian and many militiamen were completely relieved to see that the villagers were unscathed, and the two sides converged excitedly.
"You're finally back, I've been waiting here for a long time, have the enemies all repulsed?"
Sirol found the armor, but he didn't smile.
"The bandits withdrew. Armor nodded.
"It's good to fight back...... Shall we be on our way?" said Silrol, with a slight eagerness.
"Nope. Armor shook his head, "I found Misa here, he is currently wandering in this area, I have to pursue him here until he is ambushed, and then I can continue to follow you to Jade City." ”
Sirol's face changed suddenly.
"You're not going to leave with me?"
"For the time being, this matter is more urgent, and one of my goals when I leave the Great Wall is to exterminate Miza. ”
"So, what should I do?!"
"If you don't want to help, I won't force it, you can wait for me here, or you can go to Jade City first. ”
Armor's reply was straightforward.
I couldn't catch up with Misa just now, so I could only watch him run away, but the armor didn't give up, and in a good direction, at least he mastered Miza's whereabouts.
Now that you see the goal, you don't let go of the truth.
If he followed Sirol to Jade City first, and then came back to deal with Miza, there was no guarantee that the people would still be wandering around here, and if he fled to another area, he would have to start looking for it from the beginning.
Besides, the sooner Miza is resolved, the more people will be spared, so it is imperative to kill Miza first, otherwise the armor will never move on.
Sirol's face changed several times, and finally showed a far-fetched smile.
"Okay, then I'll help you, solve the problem as soon as possible. ”
With that, Sirol walked away, and when he turned around, his face was completely gloomy.
On the other side, many militiamen had stopped greeting the villagers, urging the villagers to return to the village along the original path of the dark passage, and by the way, they guarded the entrance of the secret passage, protected the villagers behind them, and stared vigilantly at the armor and his party.
Wang Nian carried an iron spear, stepped forward, and said solemnly: "Our village has been attacked, and we still need to rest, so we won't leave everyone as a guest. ”
In and out of the words, the meaning of driving people is not disguised at all.
"Dad, you're ......"
On the side, Wang Xiaosha was looking at the armor with the star eyes of worship, and when he heard the words, he was stunned and puzzled, and he didn't understand why his father's attitude had changed sharply.
In his opinion, Brother Kai helped them fight off the sand bandits, no matter what, the village should treat each other warmly, how can there be such a cold truth, I am simply unthankful.
"Shut up. Wang Nian scolded him in a low voice, turned his head to stare at the armor again, the palm holding the iron spear was slightly sweaty, his face was full of vigilance, and he said in a deep voice:
"If nothing else, please leave quickly. ”
The armor looked at the militiamen calmly, some of them were full of vigilance, some of them were evasive, but they all firmly guarded the secret passage, as if they would not allow their group of outsiders to take another step.
He took a slight step forward, only to hear a clanging sound as many of the militiamen raised their weapons, their quivering spears pointed at him.
“...... Understood, I'll go. ”
Armor nodded slightly.
He understood what these people were thinking, and was not surprised, and even got used to such an attitude.
Before joining the Great Wall, he had such an experience more than once, and it was already commonplace.
"Dad! Brother Kai saved the villagers, how can you do this!"
Wang Xiaosha glared at Wang Nian angrily.
He didn't understand why everyone would confront his benefactors, and he couldn't help but be angry.
"What do children know!"
Wang Nian didn't explain, didn't even glance at his face, just stared at the armor tightly.
At this time, the village chief of Dayue Village, who also did not leave, suddenly sighed, took a few steps forward to Wang Nian's side, pressed the iron gun in his hand, and slowly spoke, breaking the deadlock:
"He has the credentials of the Great Wall, and since he is a member of the Great Wall, we should trust him. ”
"But ......"
Wang Nian's brows furrowed.
The village chief waved his hand, interrupted him, continued to look at the armor, and asked: "You saved us and helped us fight off the bandits, we will give you a full amount of remuneration and rewards, whatever you need, we will try our best to meet ......"
"No need. ”
Armor shook his head lightly and refused.
He helped Otsuki Village repel the bandits, never for anything in return, and he didn't need anything in return.
This is the duty of the Great Wall Guards, and it is also his unwillingness to stand idly by in the face of the suffering of civilians.
It's just that...... I still don't have a sense of belonging to this land......
The armor lowered his eyes and turned to leave, Sirol and the others greeted and followed, and the large army moved in the opposite direction of Otsuki Village.
Wang Nian and the others walked out of their hiding place, and only then did they put away their vigilant gaze when they saw this large force disappear from view.
"Dad! You guys are too much! Brother Kai doesn't ask for anything in return to help us, how can we treat people with that attitude!"
Wang Xiaosha was furious, and an indescribable disappointment rose in his heart.
I asked others for help, and they solved the crisis of the village regardless of the risk, but the village suddenly turned around, leaving only a dry thank you and drove them away...... Where is there such a thing?
It's simply ungrateful!
"You're too young, too easy to trust people, and you don't know the world is sinister. Wang Nian frowned.
"I'm young, but I also know the truth of knowing how to repay the kindness! You let me down so much, how can I have a father like you!"
"What did you say?!"
Wang Nian was furious.
However, Wang Xiaosha did not flinch, glaring at Wang Nian angrily, this was the first time he dared to talk back to his father like this.
After staring at each other for a while, Wang Nian's expression gradually became complicated.
He suddenly sighed and said helplessly:
"Okay, I may have done something wrong this time, maybe they really just want to help us, but I don't regret it, for the safety of the village, I would rather offend people than reduce the risk. ”
"What do you mean?"
"How long have you only met someone, do you really know the details of them? The guy named Armor, who used to be a wanted criminal, said that he was a member of the Great Wall Guards, and I found it hard to believe. ”
"But they took the initiative to help us, and they ...... back"
"I understand, but people take the initiative to help, it doesn't mean that people don't have ulterior motives, in the clouds, a group of sand bandits drives another group of sand bandits, and there are fewer cases of eating alone?"
Wang Nian spoke earnestly and said in a deep voice:
"Bandits are rampant in the clouds, and if you want to gain a foothold, you can't easily trust others. I put up with it until now because they had occupied their hideouts, and all the villagers were probably hostages, and it wasn't until I brought them back that I was relieved to confront them and drive them away. ”
"But if they really have bad intentions, why would they return the villagers to us......" Wang Xiaosha was not convinced.
"Who knows, but the guards around the armor are not the Great Wall guards, some people overheard the conversation of the armor guards when they were resisting the siege of the sand bandits, and it seems that they also want to attack the idea of looting the village, eighty percent are sand bandits, not good people...... Otherwise, why am I so vigilant and in a hurry to get rid of them? Are you really your father a person who turns his face and doesn't recognize people, I just think about everyone's safety, and I don't dare to risk luring wolves into the house. ”
Speaking of this seriously, Wang Nian glanced at Wang Xiaosha's distrustful expression, paused, and slowed down:
"Moreover, as soon as the sand bandits attacked the village, we activated the jade alarm device and notified the Great Wall Guards, even if the armor was really one of them, we didn't need to be sideways, we just waited for the arrival of the genuine Great Wall Guards. If I misunderstood, then I can ask them to tell the armor to express my apologies and make amends. ”
Wang Xiaosha's chest rose and fell violently.
He admits that his father has a point, but he resents it.
He believed that what he had seen with his own eyes was that Brother Kai was by no means a bad person and should not be treated like this.
Perhaps the father's original intention was to avoid risks, but he didn't consider that this attitude would make the benefactor cold.
No, maybe the father took it into account......
It's just that in the eyes of his father, if Kai is really a Great Wall guard who is eager to help, then it is harmless to let the family suffer a little grievance, because even if people are angry, they will not retaliate...... Can the good intentions of good people be let down at will?
As soon as he imagined the grievances suffered by Brother Kai, Wang Xiaosha was ashamed and embarrassed.
Wang Nian saw that Wang Xiaosha no longer talked back, and thought that he was persuaded by himself, so he ignored him anymore, and turned his head to instruct the militia next to him.
"The location of this secret passage has been exposed, and the hideout can only be abandoned, and the secret passage will have to be blown up later......"
As he was talking, Wang Xiaosha suddenly ran to the side and grabbed a horse.
The bandits who attacked the hideout were heavily wounded by their armor, leaving some of their ownerless mounts in their place. While Sirol was waiting for the armor to return, he cleaned up the battlefield and gathered some camels and horses.
Some of the good-looking mounts were taken away by Silrol's team, and some wounded, scrawny mounts were left here, and the militia of Otsuki Village were tethered to the cactus bushes on the side before they could take care of it.
I saw Wang Xiaosha untie the reins of a pony, turn over and sit up, clamp the horse's belly hard, and the next moment the pony jumped out like an arrow from the string.
He was young and young, but he trained hard and mastered horsemanship early on.
Wang Nian and the militia were not mentally prepared and were stunned.
It wasn't until they watched Wang Xiaosha follow the trail of Sirol's team and run out for a long distance that everyone woke up like a dream and was shocked.
"Come back!What are you going to do?!"
"Get off the horse and follow us back to the village, the sand bandits outside may not have gone far, don't run around!"
Wang Xiaosha tensed his face, turned a deaf ear to the shouts behind him, and only accelerated with all his strength.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his heart, that is, to catch up with Brother Kai, thank him in person, and solemnly apologize to him on behalf of his father and the villagers.
......
Cyrador's team followed the armor's guidance and marched in the direction of the Missa gang's escape.
The sun is gradually slanting to the west, the heavens and the earth are gradually dimming, and the scenery in the line of sight slowly enters the veil tent of the night.
The temperature in the sand sea plummeted, and the hot air quickly turned cold, and the dry heat that made people sweat gradually turned into a cold wind.
The two of them stood in the bow of the boat, and the cold wind howled in their faces, burrowing into their bones along the gaps in their clothes.
Sirol tightened his fur coat, looked at the sky, and said softly: "It's going to be night, let's find a place to camp and rest for the night?"
Armor shook his head, "That group of sand bandits should also stop and rest at night, it is a good opportunity to catch up, I don't plan to rest." ”
The corners of Sirol's mouth twitched, and he persuaded without giving up: "I thought about it carefully, it's better to go to Jade City first, anyway, that Misa has been wandering in the clouds, and the Great Wall will be able to find him sooner or later, but if the real murderer who made you bear the grievances leaves Jade City, it will be difficult to find out again......
"You can go to Jade City and wait for me first, it is my private matter to hunt down Miza, you don't have to take risks. "The words are concise and to the point.
Sirol's eyes sank, he took a deep breath of cold air, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a low voice: "Okay...... Then let's at least eat first, and then continue the pursuit. ”
Armor did not refuse this time.
The group stopped the sand boat, got off the boat one after another, spread felt cloth on the ground, took out dry food and bacon, drank water and spirits, and ate this dusty dinner with the clear light sprinkled by the hanging moon.
Many of the guards chatted while eating, like camping, and the atmosphere was lively and noisy.
The armor took out the steamed bun and chewed it slowly, the dry and hard taste made him miss the craftsmanship of keeping the promise for a hundred miles.
'I don't know what they're doing at this time......
This thought subconsciously flashed through his mind, and he was inexplicably a little worried about his teammates at the Great Wall.
At this moment, Sirol leaned over, as if handing over the water bladder in his hand.
Kai took the water bladder and poured it into his mouth, but before he could swallow it, his eyes moved slightly.
He suddenly tilted his head, rinsed his mouth, and then turned his head to spit the water aside.
The water sprinkled all over the ground, soaking the sand.
Immediately afterward, the armor craned its neck again, and the water bladder poured into its mouth, and the Adam's apple swayed up and down, making a gurgling swallowing sound.
"Whew. ”
Armor put down the water bladder and let out a sigh of relief.
Sirol's brows were loosened at this time, a look of success flashed in his eyes, and his whole demeanor suddenly became relaxed, and he laughed softly: "Drink slowly, there is water." ”
Armor looked around and saw that the guards around him were scattered and sitting, but vaguely surrounded him in the middle.
Quietly, he handed the water back to Sirol and said calmly, "You can drink some too." ”
"Hehe, I'm not thirsty. Sirol waved his hand and refused.
"yes, that's a pity, the water is quite sweet. ”
"Of course, I've got you covered. ”
"Oh, what's that good?"
"Anesthetic. ”
As soon as the words fell, the noisy chatter in the field suddenly disappeared.
Everyone turned their heads at the same time, and their eyes from all directions moved to the armor's body.
Silence.
Sirol quickly took a few steps back and stood beside Kunluo, as if he had found a sense of security, and stood with his arms crossed and a smile on his face.
The armor seemed to be taken aback, his face changed slightly, he slowly stood up with his knees, his head was tense, it looked like he had exhausted his strength, the whole person staggered and staggered, and asked in a deep voice: "I'm a little curious, did you plan against me from the beginning, or did you have temporary intentions?"
Sirol's eyes flickered, and he sneered: "You guess?"
"I'm guessing you're not really a member of the South China Sea Chamber of Commerce. ”
"Huh...... Hahaha......"
Sirol lowered his head and laughed, and the more he laughed, the louder he became.
Armor just looked at him silently, as if trying to stand up straight, and didn't speak.
Sirol laughed for a while, then slowly stopped, spread his hands, and finally tore off the disguise that had been respectful all the way, revealing a cruel face, and a playful tone:
"What's the use of you now realising? You're already a turtle in an urn!"
It's not pretended, it's a showdown.
There's no way to escape anyway!
Kai narrowed his eyes: "So those words of yours, what Haidu family, what real murderer, what wrongs, are all lying to me?"
"What do you say?" said Sirol, scoffing.
“...... Where did you come from, and why did you target me?"
"You'll know when we take you...... I think you're running out of energy by now. ”
Sirol looked at the rickety armor, and the corners of his mouth curled up in smugness.
Kunluo slowly drew his scimitar and stepped forward, his tone full of interest: "Just in case, I'll bleed him first, so that he doesn't have the strength to resist." ”
The armor shook his body, and watched Kunluo approach,
Ten Steps......
Seven Steps......
Five-step ......
Three steps!
The body of the armor swing stood up sharply, the blade of the sword came out of its sheath, and the cold light suddenly threw out, colder than the moonlight in the sky.
Clang!
The blades struck crisply, and the humming echo of the vibration spread.
Kunluo held the knife in one hand, the back of the knife with the other, and used the blade of the sword to support the blade of the armor, his narrow eyes narrowed into a slit, revealing a cold smile, but there was no surprise at all.
"Heh, sure enough, it's pretended. ”
