Chapter Seventy-One: Blatant Provocation, Causing Great Trouble
After Natar left, Xiao Yao finally couldn't support his body and fell to the ground, and the third type of full force blow had exhausted all his physical strength, coupled with the grief in his heart, he couldn't transfer the "Nine Palaces Pulse Diagram" to recover his strength.
"Boom—"
It was dark, dark clouds obscured the moon and the stars, and after the lightning and thunder, the rain poured down.
The raindrops slapped his cheeks, Xiao Yao gradually woke up, got up from the ground with difficulty and walked to his senior brother's side, squatting on the ground and crying with remorse.
Hurriedly buried the senior brother's family, Xiao Yao staggered out of the dense forest.
......
A few days later.
Xiao Yao returned to Luohua Village.
Before the family had time to rejoice, Xiao Yao couldn't afford to fall ill and fell into a coma.
"Doctor Huang, how is Yao'er's condition?" asked Second Uncle Xiao Yuteng nervously.
"He was very weak, and it looked like he hadn't eaten for a long time, and he had to rest for a while. Physician Huang said.
"Yao'er has become like this without saying a word since she came back, which is really worrying to death. Xiao Yuteng said with a sad face.
"I'll prescribe a prescription, you can just give it to him on time, he will recover in a few days, you don't have to scare yourself. Physician Huang said.
Seeing off Doctor Huang, Xiao Yuteng tiptoed into the room.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Yao'er has nothing to do. Xiao Yuteng persuaded softly.
Yuying wiped away her tears and said sadly: "At the beginning, I didn't agree to let Yao'er go to the Wudang Sect, five months have passed in a blink of an eye, and now I have become like this when I come back, how can I not be sad." ”
Scratching his head, Xiao Yuteng grinned and said, "Yao'er just suffered from some cold, what does it have to do with going to the Wudang faction." ”
"Didn't you see that Yao'er came back with blood all over her body? And that weapon makes people shudder when they look at it. Magnolia cried.
Xiao Yuteng was speechless.
......
Five days later.
A cavalry team entered the village of Luohua.
Half an hour later, the square at the entrance of the village was full of people.
"Master Jun, we just paid the tax, and it's been less than two months, why do you let us pay it again?"
Seeing the villagers angrily confronting this cavalry, the old village chief waved his hand to let everyone calm down.
"Don't talk nonsense, we are following the orders of the city lord, and now that the military supply is seriously lacking, if you want to be peaceful, you should immediately pay the increased taxes. ”
The cavalry captain's whip pointed at the old village chief, and then more than 30 cavalry soldiers behind him drew their big knives in their hands, with a posture of killing people without paying money.
"I also asked the military master to take out the official document printed with the Dongzhou Decree on taxation. ”
The old village chief was puzzled, it stands to reason that as long as the official policy or order is issued, the official will send an official to post a notice in advance, and he has never heard of the cavalry collecting taxes in person, and it seems that it is not very reasonable to use knives and guns to coerce the villagers to pay taxes.
The cavalry captain's eyes widened and he said angrily, "Are you suspicious of us?"
"The military master misunderstood, as the village head, how can I give a clear explanation to the villagers, it is difficult to convince the public without an official document. The old village chief said.
"Are you people living a stable life, and do you still want to rebel if you don't obey the people?" said the cavalry captain angrily.
"We are all defenseless people, how dare we rebel, and ask the military master to take out the official document. Bending over, the old village chief bowed his head and said.
The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he secretly glanced at everyone, and the cavalry captain gritted his teeth and waved out the horsewhip in his hand.
"Smack~"
The horsewhip was whipped the back, and the old and frail body of the old village chief fell directly to the ground.
"What do you want to do?"
Xiao Yuteng ran out of the crowd and picked up the old village chief, looking at the cavalry captain with a pair of eyes full of anger.
"That's what happens when you question me!" said the cavalry captain disdainfully.
The village chiefs became agitated, and it was obvious that this sentence touched everyone's bottom line.
"Whoever dares to step forward will be killed!" ordered the cavalry captain.
"Boom~"
Receiving the order, the cavalrymen with broadswords urged their horses to step forward a few steps, trying to suppress the commotion of the villagers.
"If you don't have an official document, you are collecting money without permission. ”
Looking at the old village chief's painful expression, Xiao Yuteng's heart ignited with anger, and he broke the truth in one word.
"Bastard, you dare to slander me. ”
The cavalry captain was stunned, and his heart was a little empty, he didn't expect that someone would take the lead in daring to expose him, and if he confessed back at this time, wouldn't he let his brothers laugh at him.
"Is it slandering its own justice, more than 2,000 people in Luohua Village will definitely go to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for an explanation. Xiao Yuteng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
The cavalry captain sneered and sneered: "I'll give you an explanation now, come and take him down." ”
With an order, two cavalrymen with helmets and armor jumped down from their horses and pressed Xiao Yuteng to the ground with a fierce momentum.
Looking at the cavalry like a fierce god, the villagers dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and could only watch these cavalry, who were even more domineering than the bandits, behave recklessly.
"Let him go, I promise to pay you taxes. The old village chief stood up from the ground with difficulty and said in a loud voice.
"You're ...... cheap"
Before the cavalry captain could finish speaking, a silver light flashed in front of him, and then a cluster of triangular red rays pierced his throat, and before he could even scream, he fell headlong under the horse.
Xiao Yao wiped the blood-stained halberd on the cavalry captain's body, and then turned his head to look at the other cavalry expressionlessly.
A murderous aura instantly spread, and all the horses became irritable and kept neighing and retreating.
"Anti-anti-...... Instead, he actually killed the captain. ”
"Retreat, go back and tell the Commander. ”
The cavalry had already been frightened by Xiao Yao's very spicy methods, turned the horse's head and disappeared with a smoke.
There was a dead silence in the field, and the villagers were all petrified in place, no one expected that this teenager who had grown up watching it would kill the official people recklessly, let alone that he would be so indifferent after the killing.
Without speaking, without lingering, Xiao Yao walked quietly towards home.
Watching the bleak back gradually walk away, Xiao Yuteng came back to his senses and said tremblingly: "Yao'er, what did he do." ”
"He's too impulsive, and he's getting killed. Sighing, the old village chief said regretfully.
"Old village chief, what can I do about this? I can't watch him die. Xiao Yuteng said tremblingly.
Shaking his head, the old village chief said helplessly: "Blatantly killing the official cavalry captain is a naked provocation, the whole world is not the king's land, what can we do." ”
"No, I have to let Yao'er return to Wudang Mountain as soon as possible, as long as he returns to the sect, he will have a glimmer of life. Xiao Yuteng said with a flustered expression.
"Yes, yes, let Xiao Yao leave quickly, it's too late. The old village chief said hurriedly.
