Chapter 11 Assignment
The Jin Kingdom is located at the northern end of the Celestial Empire, near the end of the continent, and as long as you stand on the edge of the Jin Kingdom's borders, you can see a scene like a heavenly moat—the endless void in front of you is like an abyss, which makes people shudder.

Nu Tian went to the Jin Kingdom to serve as the deputy "pastoral supervisor" under the Taifu Temple, the official rank under the seventh grade, and was responsible for raising military horses. After leaving the academy, Nu Tian took the three of Zhang's father and son to the northern grasslands to take office. Coming down from Tianbu Mountain, he stepped into the land of the Jin Kingdom, and it only took more than ten days for the four of them to enter the grassland area.
"The scenery of the grassland is different, it's much more fun here than Tianbu Mountain!" Zhang Xiaoshan rode on the Yan Ying and shouted loudly, it seemed that he was suffocated on Tianbu Mountain.
"Stinky boy, let the 'flames' be reined in, do you want to set this grassland on fire?" Zhang Sanshan, who was driving the car, scolded loudly to his son in the sky.
This time when they went out, in addition to their own spirit beasts, Nu Tian and the others also brought an extra riding beast - the Black Rock Horse. This kind of monster beast has great strength and good endurance, and what it is best at is to travel far away. Therefore, Zhang Ershan deliberately built a big car and asked him to pull the car to hurry up, so that everyone could rest on the road.
Nu Tian rode on the six-pupiled horned antelope and looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in the sky, and couldn't help but laugh happily.
"Xiaoshan, this kid was stuffy when he was on the mountain!That's why he was so presumptuous after coming down the mountain, don't worry about it, childe. Zhang Ershan said with a smile.
"How could it be? Seeing this grassland scenery, my mood has also become better!" said Nu Tian with a smile.
"This kid, flying in the sky on a flame eagle is great. If he rides on the 'ghost shadow', I can throw him into the sky in an instant!" Zhang Sanshan said proudly.
Nu Tian and Zhang Ershan laughed out loud when they heard this.
"There's someone ahead!" At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan in the sky suddenly shouted loudly.
"This grassland is not your family, of course there will be people, why are you so excited?" Zhang Sanshan scolded dissatisfiedly.
"Horse thief...... It's a horse thief!" Yan Ying flew back, and Zhang Xiaoshan excitedly pointed ahead and shouted.
"Isn't it a horse thief? It's not a pretty girl, what are you shouting!" Zhang Sanshan became more and more dissatisfied with his son who did not grow up!
"Did you find anyone other than the horse thieves?" asked Nu Tian, as he felt that the horse thieves might not be coming towards the four of them.
"No, I can't see any other horses and carts up there. Zhang Xiaoshan replied affirmatively.
"Oh, then Xiaoshan, come down and see what they want to do?" Nu Tian said with interest as he withdrew the six-pupiled horned antelope into the spirit beast space.
When Zhang Xiaoshan heard this, he immediately retracted Yan Ying and climbed into the carriage with Nu Tian. Zhang Sanshan snorted lightly, raised the whip in his hand, and drove the Black Rock Horse to continue to move forward. It's just that it's no longer as fast as before, but it's slow.
After a while, the four of them saw a team of horses galloping in the cold wind. There were twelve people in this team, and they were very well dressed, and each of them was equipped with two horses, strong bows, and scimitars, and they knew at a glance that they were not good people! As soon as the horse team found the carriage of Nu Tian and the others, it immediately dispersed quickly, and trapped the carriage in the middle in a closed circle.
"Wu Na man, put down your belongings and horses, and stay and wait for a dog's life!" one of the horse thieves shouted loudly, pointing to Zhang Sanshan in the car.
"Where are they?" Nutian whispered excitedly from inside the carriage.
"Are you from that mountain?" Zhang Sanshan asked with a smile.
"Hehe, I'm not afraid of death!" said one of the horse thieves with a smile.
"I'll wait for the 'Blue Wolf Twelve Teeth' to keep my word, put down your belongings and horses, and spare you from death!" At this time, the other horse thief frowned slightly, and then also spoke.
This man was the leader of this troop of horse thieves, and he found the carriage a little unusual. Although there was no guard, it was a demon beast that pulled the cart, and the car was also very gorgeous, and it was impossible for an ordinary caravan to have such a car, which showed that the owner of the car was probably an official. And just now he didn't find out from a distance that this guy who was driving the car was actually a monk, which made him a little unable to understand the situation inside the car!
"Blue Wolf Twelve-Fang, I didn't expect you to have a name? It seems that you are not unknown in this grassland!" Zhang Sanshan obviously became more excited when he heard the name of the horse thief.
"Bow and crossbow, they dare to make any moves, shoot and kill!" the horse thief leader commanded coldly.
Zhang Sanshan just watched everything calmly, without the slightest movement, and the three Nutian people in the car also observed the group of horse thieves with interest.
"Childe, I don't think these people are ordinary horse thieves!" Zhang Ershan said in a low voice.
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" asked Nu Tian curiously.
"These people's scores are very messy, but their boots and ornaments are unusually consistent, and those bows and crossbows are also average, so I think they are probably from the Jin military?" Zhang Ershan carefully analyzed.
"Oh, if that's the case, leave them alive!" Nu Tian said helplessly.
"Is it necessary? Childe, they are not good people!" Zhang Ershan asked.
"Then let them remember the lesson of this time!" said Nu Tian casually.
Zhang Ershan shook his head gently, having lived together all these years, he knew Nutian's character very well. From the very beginning, he guessed that Nu Tian had no intention of killing these horse thieves, and after knowing that the horse thieves were soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, it was just one more excuse not to kill them. But there is no way to do all this, Nu Tian has been in the academy for decades, and he has long been rendered by the atmosphere of the academy as a righteous gentleman, who knows the sinister nature of the world. Zhang Ershan only slowly let him know that the world is not a heavenly world like the academy!
"Let me come!" As soon as Zhang Xiaoshan saw Nu Tian speak, he could still bear it, and immediately rushed out of the carriage.
"Shoot!"
Those horse thieves are all murderous characters, and I don't know how many big scenes they have experienced. As soon as the people in the car moved, they had already guessed each other's intentions, so the crossbow arrows were also shot as soon as possible, killing the enemy in front of them first. If it were normal, the merchants of the car would have died in an instant. But it's a pity that what they met today was the four of Nutian!
"Boom!"
As soon as Zhang Xiaoshan rushed out of the carriage, he saw the oncoming arrows and hurriedly shouted. Then a thick flame erupted from all over the body, and it exploded like fuel oil. The arrows were suddenly knocked away by the bursting flames, and none of them hit the target.
"Bastard, do you want to burn you?"
"Monk, run!"
Two voices rang out at the same time, and the owner of the voice fled in a hurry at the same time.
Zhang Xiaoshan's move was amazingly powerful, but the lethality was almost zero, except for scaring the horse thief and his Lao Tzu, not even a single person was injured.
"Hmph, don't even think about running away!" Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw the group of horse thieves fleeing without a fight.
With a wave of both hands, dozens of fireballs flew out, instantly forming a circular wall of fire on the grassland with Zhang Xiaoshan himself as the center, blocking the front of the horse thieves. Then he quickly retracted in Zhang Xiaoshan's sneer and pounced towards the group of horse thieves. Zhang Xiaoshan's trick is very good, leaving no back road for the horse thieves at all, unless they know how to fly through the sky or rush through the wall of fire regardless of life and death, otherwise they can only obediently drive the horse and run back!
"Let you escape?" Hmph, obediently leave the things on your body, and then knock a thousand heads to our son, or our son will let you live!" Zhang Xiaoshan was as proud as a peacock with an open screen, pointing fingers at the group of horse thieves who fell in front of the carriage in embarrassment, so not majestic!
"Who are you, and why are you robbing us?" Nu Tian asked calmly as he stepped down from the carriage and looked at the group of horse thieves in front of him.
"My lord, we know that we are wrong! The villain has eyes but does not know Mount Tai, and he is greedy for a while, and he dares to fight the adult's idea. Damn it!" When the leader of the horse thieves saw Nutian's clothes, his whole body suddenly collapsed, and he fell to the ground trembling and begging for mercy.
"Do you know who I am?" Nu Tian looked at the guy in front of him in surprise, and couldn't help but have a strange thought in his heart.
"The name of the academy is known to the whole world, and of course the villain recognizes that the clothes and ornaments on the adult's body are from the academy, so the adult's identity is naturally about to come out!"
"I see!" said Nutian with a smile, looking up to the horse thief again.
"Childe, instead of letting them go like this, it's better to leave them behind!" At this time, Zhang Xiaoshan suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.
"Childe, spare your life!" the group of guys suddenly begged for mercy loudly.
"Shut up, I'm not trying to kill you!" Zhang Xiaoshan turned around and said with a smile after scolding those guys: "Isn't Gongzi always useless under his subordinates? Now they are all sent to the door by themselves!"
“......”
In fact, Nu Tian also knew that he couldn't spare these guys, but his peaceful life over the years did make him unwilling to kill people casually, and now he felt that it was a good idea to hear Zhang Xiaoshan's words. Although these people don't have the slightest cultivation, let alone the slightest loyalty, but they lack people who are familiar with this plain, aren't these people just right?
"No, Childe! We can't go back, or ......" Hearing that this Childe wanted to keep them, those guys hurriedly stepped forward and begged. It's just that before he finished speaking, he heard a loud "boom", and a huge hole appeared in the grass.
"What did you just say, I didn't hear you clearly!" Zhang Xiaoshan asked with a hippie smile.
“......”
