Chapter 136: Robbery
It has been nearly a month since Xiao Ling left home and went out, Xiao Ling traveled all the way east, and slowly traveled, and gradually approached the capital of the Heavenly Wind Country, Tianfeng City.
On this day, the official road leading to Tianfeng City is sparse, and there are not a few figures in sight, which is a bit strange, it stands to reason that Tianfeng City is the capital of a country, and the daily flow of people should be huge, why can't you see a few figures today? This is very inconsistent with the scene of the crowd on weekdays.
"It's been almost a month since I came out, but I haven't encountered anything difficult, and it's a little boring, which is a bit contrary to the purpose of my adventure. ”
At the end of the official road, a figure slowly walked by, with a slightly thin figure, sword eyebrows and slight eyebrows, eyes like Lang Xing, not handsome, and a sky-blue robe added a bit of a sense of elegance and dust, it was Xiao Ling who had left home.
Xiao Ling has been out for nearly a month, but he hasn't encountered anything difficult, even if he occasionally encounters any unjust things such as robbers and robbers, he can solve them casually, and he can't help but feel a little bored.
Just as Xiao Ling was walking aimlessly, a group of black-clothed men holding long knives suddenly appeared in front of him and stopped Xiao Ling.
"Well, I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave to buy road wealth!" A big man led by a big man pointed a long knife in his hand at Xiao Ling, and stabbed the way.
Ordinary pedestrians on the official road have never seen this battle, seeing this group of black-clothed and masked people with big knives, they were immediately frightened and their legs became weak.
"I've been robbed?" Xiao Ling looked at the group of black-clothed men in front of him who robbed him, and couldn't help but have some urge to laugh.
"Ahem, this friend, what are you talking about? I didn't hear you clearly. Xiao Ling looked at the black-clothed man in front of him with a knife pointing at him with a strange expression, and said with a smile.
"Boy, listen up, what the uncle just said is 'I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave to buy road money', if you don't want to die, just hand over the money obediently. The big man at the head of the man stared, and he was really a little fierce.
This group of people has been doing this businessless business on this official road for nearly two months, and they are very particular about the object of their attack, not picking a team of more than ten dignitaries, but specially picking some well-dressed, three or two peers or even single people, so in the past two months, they have also gained a lot, and they have not lost a hand.
This is also the reason why the official road in the capital, which should be crowded, is now sparsely populated.
Two months is not a long time, but it is not a short time, so that this group of people has made a lot of money, but also let this road is now rarely walked, and the vast majority of people choose to take a long detour, unless there is an emergency, they will take this official road.
It stands to reason that Tianfeng City is the capital of the Tianfeng Kingdom, how could this kind of roadblock and robbery happen at the feet of the Son of Heaven? But this is the case, not only did this happen, but these people also lived very freely. Although the imperial court also sent someone to investigate the matter, it was dismissed every time, which was really incomprehensible.
Since there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on this road, this group of strongmen has not done a single business for several days. When this group of people was anxious, they happened to meet Xiao Ling coming out from home, and the strong people saw that Xiao Ling was brightly dressed and had an extraordinary demeanor, and they expected that he must be the son of a big family.
"Oh, so, so you want to rob me?" Xiao Ling felt a little funny in his heart and a little helpless at the same time, he was robbed by a group of ordinary robbers?
Hearing Xiao Ling's smiling tone, the black-clothed man led by him reversed his wrist, slammed the long knife in his hand into the ground, and pinched his waist with both hands: "Boy, are you playing uncle? Take out the money on your body quickly, otherwise even if I let you go, I won't let you go with this knife!"
Seeing that his boss said this, the group of younger brothers next to him naturally opened their mouths to cheer and cheer at a very opportune time.
Listening to the cheers of the little brothers behind him, the big man at the head couldn't help but smile proudly, of course, because he was covered with his face, so he smiled or not, only he himself knew: "Boy, do you see? Even if I let you go with this knife, the brothers behind me will not let you go." ”
"Then I don't know how much it costs before you are willing to let me go?" Xiao Ling had the heart to play with these robbers, anyway, life was so boring, it was naturally good to be able to have some fun, not to mention that this fun was still found by himself.
The big man headed by "this" obviously didn't expect Xiao Ling to ask this question, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.
In the past, when they robbed others, the other party would either be scared half to death, and then obediently hand over all the finances on their bodies; or they would be very tough and would rather die than give in, then they would beat the other party and rob him of his money. It was the first time that Xiao Ling asked how much money he was willing to let him go.
After thinking for a while, Dahan said, "Well, the more money, the better." But if I had to say it, the numbers would scare you half to death. Well, let's do it, you can take out all the money on you, if the uncle is satisfied, he will naturally not hurt you, and he will let you leave safely. ”
"Okay, I'll find out. Xiao Ling pretended to be very unwilling, hesitated for a long time, and then said, but he was secretly laughing in his heart.
However, from this short contact, Xiao Ling could see that these robbers didn't seem to have a bad nature, at least this bandit leader was like this, but he didn't know why they became robbers.
Xiao Ling groped with his hands on his body, completely touching it from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, and finally spread his hands in the eyes of the big man with great expectation, and said very helplessly: "I'm really embarrassed, I ran out of money, so now I am penniless." ”
"What?!Look at you like this, how can you have no money on you, boy, are you fooling me?" The big man pulled out the long knife from the ground with his backhand: "It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't obey." ”
Dahan said, with a slash of the long knife, he walked towards Xiao Ling, as if he was going to cut Xiao Ling a few times to give Xiao Ling a long memory, but the sharp-eyed Xiao Ling found that the big man's hand holding the knife was trembling slightly, and he was obviously a little nervous.
"Wait a minute!" Just as the big man was about to walk up to Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling shouted violently.
"Boy, what tricks do you want to play?" the big man asked as soon as he heard this.
"I don't have any money, but I have a family heirloom. I think it should be more than enough to exchange this heirloom for me to leave. Xiao Ling said with a smile.
