Chapter 718: Fight for only one inch of shelter
"So you're the leader of the sand pirates. The honest man seemed to know the identity of the fierce wolf in Mobei at this time, and his tone sounded a little unpleasant.
"That's right, but you regret being friends with me?" Mobei Fierce Wolf shook his head.
"I hate most of my life those who rob others of their things and fulfill their own greed. The honest man shook his head, and then stopped talking.
The Mobei Fierce Wolf wanted to defend something, but he still shook his head and didn't say anything.
"Brother, this brother is going to Mobei Mansion, if it's convenient for you, take him for a ride. Mobei fierce wolf said to An Gongzi.
"I don't need robbers to help me. But the honest man shook his head.
The fierce wolf in Mobei was angry for a while.
These two people, one is the one who once saved his life and is regarded by him as a brother.
One is a person who has just met, but has a speculative conversation and is quite a match.
But after they learned his identity, they all made a 180-degree turn in their attitude towards him, which made him angry.
Even the clay man has a three-point temperament, not to mention that he is the leader of the sand thieves.
"I don't care what you think of me, but there are some things I have to say clearly!" Mobei Fierce Wolf Zhengse said to the honest man: "We sand people have lived in the desert for generations, and we have made a living by panning for gold in the desert, and the oasis in the desert can also make us self-sufficient. It is your officials in the Heavenly Empire who oppress us and rob us of what belongs to us, and the reason why we are sand thieves is only to take back what belongs to us. Why should we pay taxes to you if we don't take a penny from you? What's wrong with us taking back what you have taken from us? Is it not called robbery if you people deprive us of what we have taken under the guise of collecting taxes?
"You are a fallacy, the whole world is not the king's land, you live on this land, naturally you have to pay taxes. An Gongzi snorted coldly.
"Pedantic, ridiculous!" Mobei Fierce Wolf shook his head again and again, "I appreciate your kindness and integrity, but you are too pedantic, brother!"
"You have a point. The honest man lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then said to the fierce wolf in Mobei, "If the emperor wants you to pay taxes, you should bear the obligations to you, and if you don't fulfill your obligations, you also have the right not to pay taxes." ”
"Yes, that's a good point, brother, you still have knowledge!" Mobei Fierce Wolf patted the honest man's shoulder vigorously and said.
"It's just what we adults have said. "People are born to live in this world, everyone has the right to enjoy the resources of this world, and no one is qualified to take all the resources in their own hands and exploit others." ”
"That's the truth, brother, you're right!"
"Fallacy, fallacy!" An Gongzi's face turned red, "Who said such a rebellious remark?"
"Our Excellency. The honest man said.
"Hmph, I won't take a lawless person like you! you can ask your good friend to send you there!" An Gongzi snorted angrily and asked the coachman to drive away.
"Alas, my brother, everything is good, but it's too pedantic. Seeing An Gongzi go away, the Mobei fierce wolf shook his head again.
The honest man also shook his head, these two people seem to have a good relationship, but the concepts of the two are too different, so they always get along so awkwardly.
But what's even stranger...... Why did these two become friends?
Sure enough, the world is so big that there are no surprises.
"Brother, I can't send you to Mobei Mansion...... You, give your mount to my brother. Mobei Fierce Wolf pointed at a sand thief, and the sand thief hurriedly handed over the reins in his hand.
"Okay, thank you. The honest man didn't shirk and took it.
"Brother, my name is Beiqiang, I don't know your name yet?" said Mobei Fierce Wolf to the honest man.
"My name is Xue Congshan. ”
Seeing An Gongzi, Xue Congshan and the others disappear into the distance one after the other, the Mobei fierce wolf looked back at his side.
The one-eyed wolf and the others were still standing beside him, looking at him convincingly, waiting for him to give orders.
In any case, they are all sand people, and they are all of the same race. In fact, there are already many sand thieves like the one-eyed wolf who have been doing all kinds of evil for a long time.
The desert was getting poorer, the taxes were getting higher, and the pressure was getting greater, and he was no longer able to sustain it.
Is it really a gamble?
I can't wait anymore......
You must find the land of the legendary ancestors......
......
An Gongzi left in a bad mood, and Xue Congshan rode a short pony and followed behind unhurriedly.
He was unwilling to have more contact with An Gongzi, so he was naturally not willing to come forward, and he didn't know the way to Mobei Mansion, so he could only follow behind.
After walking for about half an hour, the surroundings were still so desolate, and there was no shadow of the city in sight.
Fortunately, Xue Congshan was used to trekking alone in the wilderness, so he didn't have a trace of impatience.
He ran his exercises, feeling the footsteps of the pony under his crotch, and his thoughts extended, as if the pony had become a part of his body, and he was measuring the land with his feet.
Step on the iron shoes and look at the autumn water.
Cangshan searched, exhausted the sea and rivers, and explored the secrets of the world.
This is the purpose of the Exploration Sect, and it is also their way of cultivation.
Measure the land with your own feet, wade through the long river, climb the peak, and every step you take is a practice and an accumulation.
And he, when he waded through the desert some time ago, finally broke through to the fourth layer of the exercises, and he could extend his thoughts and senses, and use some simple means of transportation to speed up his cultivation.
Gradually, he developed a strange resonance with the land, as if the land had a spirituality to tell him.
Suffering.
Barren.
Struggle.
What kind of land is this......
Xue Congshan felt a tear in his chest.
These days, he has taken one step at a time, and with each step, the more he understands the mind of adults.
Why save the world?
Because the world has suffered so much.
Every inch of land, soaked in pain, could not bear more.
The exercises of the Exploration Sect are derived from Zi Baifeng's demon cultivation technique, and the fourth-order exercises have just been created, he can sense the earth and the leylines, and every step he takes, he also injects his own perception and spirit into the earth, slowly changing the earth and the leylines.
This is the reason why he established the Exploration Sect, to discover the beauty of this world with his own feet, and to save this land with his own strength.
Just as Xue Congshan was immersed in the interaction with this world, a whistle suddenly sounded, and an arrow shot in front of Gongzi An's carriage.
"Bah, robbery!"
A group of sand people dressed in white, with white cloth scarves around their faces and white cloth heads, poured out from all around, and when they came out, they saw the carriage and immediately laughed: "It's rare to meet a fat sheep, brothers, kill them all!"
At this moment, Xue Congshan was speechless, what kind of place is this.
He reached into his arms, already ready to make a move.
Suddenly, a group of people came out from behind, shouted a few times, and rushed towards those sand thieves, Xue Congshan recognized those people, it was the one-eyed wolf and others.
It seems that Beiqiang is still not at ease, so he sent them to protect them secretly.
An Gongzi did not stop, continued on the road, and encountered three waves of sand thieves in a row along the way, it seems that someone leaked An Gongzi's whereabouts, and these sand thieves came to ambush.
Later, the sand thieves didn't even pay attention to the one-eyed wolf and the others, and shouted: "This is our prey, you guys get out of the way for me, and rush up with a steel knife." ”
Xue Congshan sighed helplessly, he also drew his sword and killed it.
Xue Congshan saw Beiqiang's face, and was unwilling to kill and injure these people, so he stabbed a sword in the shoulder of a person, picked him off the horse, and suddenly stabbed a sword from the oblique stab, piercing the person's throat.
Xue Congshan turned his head and saw An Gongzi standing behind him with a sword, his face solemn.
At this time, Gongzi An was not at all like the appearance of the handsome boy just now, his face was cold, and the murderous intent in his eyes was Ling Ran, from his body, Xue Congshan was in a trance, as if he saw a familiar shadow, and he was stunned for a moment.
"Bell!" An Gongzi suddenly took out his sword, grabbed the scimitar of a sand thief, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing in a daze?"
"Why did you kill them?" Xue Congshan didn't actually notice that person, but these people were just ordinary sand thieves, and the strength difference between them and him was too much, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.
"These people, each of them has dozens of lives in their hands, killing one can save ten of my people!" An Gongzi drank coldly, "Kill! kill!"
"Kill, kill!" two of his guards, and even the butler scholar, fought with swords.
Xue Congshan shook his head speechlessly, and said after a while: "The one-eyed wolf just now, why didn't you kill them?"
"If it weren't for Beiqiang, I would have killed them all a long time ago!" An Gongzi said.
The one-eyed wolf was beside An Gongzi, and when he heard this, he snorted and blocked a knife from one person, but he was slashed in the ribs by another person, and blood flowed for a long time.
After a fierce battle, when they killed all the sand thieves, the one-eyed wolf was also injured, and several of his brothers died.
The one-eyed wolf gathered up all the carcasses, put them on horseback, and took them all away, regardless of whether they were friends or enemies.
He took them back and buried them in the rites of the sandmen. Looking at the one-eyed wolf who left without saying a word, An Gongzi explained.
Xue Congshan snorted, when he walked in the desert, he had also seen the funeral in the desert.
The one-eyed wolf is no longer able to fight, nor is he able to protect An Gongzi, his task has been completed, so he naturally leaves.
Counting carefully, along the way, a total of five waves of sand thieves were encountered, three waves were driven away by the one-eyed wolf, and two battles took place, and this time was the most tragic.
"What the hell is this place...... What are you killing each other like this, and what are you ......" Xue Congshan muttered.
"You're not from Mobeizhou, so you'll never understand. An Gongzi lowered his head and said in a barely audible voice: "Because ...... The oases in the desert are starting to dry up......"
Whether it is the Sha people or the Han people in Mobei Prefecture, they are just trying to survive.
Survival is as simple as two words, but it is more difficult than anything else.
"Even so, you still insist that Shamin should pay taxes?" Xue Congshan did not sympathize with An Gongzi.
"That'...... It's not the same......" An Gongzi's tone was a little weak.
They have to make the sandfolks pay taxes because they have to survive too.
He is Gongzi An.
The eldest son of the Governor of Mobei Prefecture.
