The group of slaves looked at the man in front of them with some surprise, almost couldn't believe his words, from the day they were sold to people as slaves, they never thought that there would be a day when their freedom would be restored, maybe they would be slaves here today, and they would be sold to another person here tomorrow, and become slaves of another person, although they changed masters, but they would never change their slave status. Therefore, one by one they were still squatting in the corner, and they did not dare to leave.

Xiaoyaozi smiled bitterly, then put the sword back into its sheath and said, "Let's go, get out of here, go back to your own hometown, and from now on, live the life you want to live." Then, Xiaoyao Zishuang took out a bag of silver taels from his arms and said, "You can divide these silver taels and take them home!"

Seeing the kind smile on Xiaoyaozi's face, all the slaves looked at each other, and then they knelt down to Xiaoyaozi in unison, kowtowed, and after saying thank you, they dispersed in a hurry.

Xiong Qiang dragged the heavy shackles and looked at the departing slaves, and the face that had no smile for a long time also bloomed with a beautiful smile at this moment, happy that they had been reborn. At this time, Xiaoyaozi also walked over, cut off his shackles and shackles, and also took out a piece of silver, and said, "You can go too!" For the young man in front of him, Xiaoyaozi also had a strange feeling in his heart, he felt that this young man was different from those slaves, at least he was very courageous, and in such a chaotic scene, he dared to kill his enemies with his own hands.

Xiong Qiang shook his head, then knelt down towards Xiaoyaozi and said, "I don't want silver, I want to worship you as a teacher!"

"I don't accept disciples!" Xiaoyaozi's face changed, although he admired this young man a little, but this was not the reason why he wanted to accept this young man as an apprentice.

"Why don't you accept disciples? Your swordsmanship is so high, you need to accept a disciple to take over your mantle. Xiong Qiang looked at Xiaoyaozi with torch eyes and said.

"Why do you want to learn swords?" Xiaoyaozi asked rhetorically.

Xiong Qiang didn't speak, just tore the clothes on his body, and when he tore off his clothes, his whole face became hideous and distorted, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but even so, he still gritted his teeth and continued to tear his clothes. Xiaoyaozi looked at this scene, and frowned, and his mouth also grinned, because he saw that Xiong Qiang's entire back was almost no longer a piece of good meat, his back was full of yellow pus and red blood, and the shoddy clothes had been completely glued to his back by blood.

This process of tearing clothes off the wound, the kind of pain, makes people shudder to think about, but even if it is such pain, Xiong Qiang gritted his teeth and didn't even snort.

When Xiong Qiang completely took off his clothes, his whole face turned extremely pale, and he said: "You asked me why I want to learn swords, because I don't want to be slaughtered by others, I want to be a person who can control my own destiny." ”

The stick sores on Xiong Qiang's back made Xiaoyaozi's heart also a little shocked, and he didn't know why Xiong Qiang was able to survive when he was injured like this. But he still said: "Although these injuries are terrible, at least you are still alive, do you know what it is like when the cold iron pierces the chest, the warm blood rushes out of the body, the strength of the whole body is drained, and even the simple breathing becomes a luxury?"

"You don't have to scare me, death is not terrible for me, it is just a temporary unhappiness, the terrible thing is that I am afraid that you are still breathing, but your heart is dead. When the woman you love is stripped of all her clothes in public right under your nose, and then beaten to death with a stick, and you can only watch from the sidelines, this feeling is truly more terrible than death. Xiong Qiang said coldly.

Xiaoyaozi sighed, looking at the killing intent on Xiong Qiang's body, he shook his head and said, "You worship me as a teacher, one day you will regret it." ”

Xiong Qiang is also an understanding person, as soon as he heard Xiaoyaozi's tone, he knew that Xiaoyaozi already had the intention of accepting him as an apprentice, so he kowtowed to Xiaoyaozi three times and said: "Worship you as a teacher, I will never regret it!"

"Okay, then I'll pass you on a set of swordsmanship, but this set of swordsmanship is only one sword. Xiaoyaozi said.

Xiong Qiang was born a slave and didn't know much about what swordsmanship was, and when he saw that Xiaoyaozi had promised to pass on his swordsmanship, he was also very happy in his heart, and said, "Thank you, Master!"

The palace, which was very lively just now, has become depressed and even a little gloomy at this moment. The only thing that was still alive was the wind chime hanging in the corner of the eaves, and the breeze blew through it with a pleasant sound.

Watching the lively people, the whole palace is surrounded by water, this palace is also a well-known local family, in less than an hour, there is not even a living mouth left, this kind of thing makes people sound too shocking.

Not long after Xiong Qiang and Xiaoyaozi left the palace, three men fell on the roof of the backyard of the palace, one with a rough face, a beard, and a shocking huge scar on his face, the scar crossed the eye from the right forehead, straight to the right cheek, and the appearance looked extremely hideous, this person is called Wang Bing, and Wang Yuan is a sworn brother. The second is a man with a tall figure and an elongated face like a horse's face, named Ma Wenbin, and the third is a short dwarf named Zhu Wenshan. These three people are all well-known figures in the underworld, because they should have a deep friendship with Ding Wanqi in addition to Wang Yuan, so even if Ding Wanqi cheated to death three years ago and transformed into the current Wang Yuan, he did not hide from these three people.

Today is Ding Wanqi's fortieth birthday, and underworld figures like them can't blatantly show up in the palace during the day, so they are ready to celebrate Ding Wanqi's birthday at night, but as soon as the three of them came to Jingyang City, they heard that the palace was killed without leaving a single living mouth, but when the three of them came, they were still a step late, and all they saw was the corpses in the courtyard.

Scarface Wang Bing looked at the corpses scattered all over the place, his face immediately turned blue, when he saw the corpse outside Wang Yuan, the thick inky eyebrows were also upside down, the nostrils were humming and panting, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells, looking more and more hideous. He jumped from the roof of the house and went straight to the body of the king.

"Big brother, I'm late, which bastard killed my big brother?" he picked up the body of Wang Yuanwai and roared angrily.

Ma Wenbin and Zhu Wenshan glanced at each other, their faces were not good-looking, they both sighed, and Ma Wenbin said: "I didn't expect Brother Ding's birthday to become a sacrifice day!"

Zhu Wenshan was also secretly frightened after glancing at the fatal sword in Wang Yuanwai's neck, and said: "What a fast sword, this person can actually kill Brother Ding with one sword, he should be a super-first-class master, I don't know which existence Brother Ding has offended." ”

"Don't dare to be a bastard, kill my eldest brother, Lao Tzu must find him out, dig out his heart and liver, cut off his buttocks and drink wine. The scarface called Wang Bing cursed viciously.

Ma Wenbin patted Wang Bing's shoulder, sighed lightly and said, "Even Brother Ding is not his opponent, even if we meet, I'm afraid it will be difficult to kill him!"

Listening to Ma Wenbin's words, Wang Bing glared angrily, snorted coldly, and said: "If you are afraid of death, don't go, even if my eldest brother has no eyes and knows you as a coward." ”

"I'm a coward, Wang Bing, I'm reminding you that you gave your life for no other reason, even if it is to avenge Brother Ding, you have to use your brains, at least, we have to find the murderer of Brother Ding. Ma Wenbin said coldly.

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise! Now let's think about how to deal with Brother Ding's corpse! You can't walk around with his corpse, right? Such a big murder in the palace must have already alarmed the government, and soon the government will send someone to investigate. Zhu Wenshan said.

After Wang Bing heard this, the horizontal flesh on his face also trembled, and said, "I can't let the government know the true identity of my eldest brother, and set it on fire." ”

After the three of them finished discussing, it was a fire, which ignited the entire backyard, and the front yard had already turned into a sea of fire after Ding Wanqi detonated the thunderbolt, and after putting down this fire, the entire palace would be completely turned into ashes.
