Chapter 23: Night Encounter with Sand Pirates

"I said Xiucai, don't make trouble, with your small body, it's okay to dance the sword to help you have fun, if you face those sand thieves who kill people without blinking, there is no chance of winning. The merchant was not bad-hearted and persuaded Xiaoyaozi.

As he spoke, the sand thieves had already arrived in front of the caravan, and there were still a few camels with unloaded goods. The merchant didn't care so much, and shouted directly to the people under him, "Hurry up and withdraw with the loaded goods, don't leave the rest!"

After speaking, the merchant grabbed Xiaoyaozi's hand, "Go, scholar, hurry up and run for your life with my brother!"

Xiaoyaozi smiled, "Brother, I received your love, followed you, and took care of me along the way, I followed you to eat and drink, and you didn't ask me for a tael of silver, and I couldn't help it." ”

"Run for your life, what are you talking about at this time?" the merchant reached out anxiously to drag Xiaoyaozi.

"Even if I repay you for taking care of you. Xiaoyaozi turned and rushed towards the sand thief.

At this moment, the merchant was dumbfounded, and he was also dumbfounded, not only the merchant, but even the guards and laborers under him were dumbfounded, no one thought that this scholar-like person would work so hard for the merchant, you know, there is only one human life, once it is dead, it can never be recovered.

But the most surprising thing was the sand pirates.

A few of the enthusiastic guards stopped running, but turned around and turned back to help Xiaoyaozi, "A scholar is so desperate, we are all martial artists, how can we still escape?"

Perhaps it was this spirit that infected the rest of the caravan, and everyone no longer ran away, but gathered together and came to the back of Xiaoyaozi, including the merchant.

"Hahaha, look at these people, are they all crazy. The leader of the sand thieves looked at the people in front of him and almost laughed. Behind him, there were thirty or forty sand thieves.

In terms of numbers, it is not less than the people of the caravan, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it is not weaker than the people of the caravan.

"Isn't it funny?" Xiaoyaozi also smiled at the leader of the sand thieves.

This made the leader of the sand thieves very curious, the scholar in front of him seemed to be very weak, but he was not small, and he could still laugh in this situation, which made the leader of the sand thieves very appreciative, "Scholar, I said that if you don't want to die, why don't you be a military advisor under me?"

Xiaoyaozi tilted his head sideways and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "It seems that you are used to dreaming, in this case, then I will help you get rid of this habit." ”

After that, Xiaoyaozi's wrist holding the sword shook a little, and the sword was unsheathed.

Then, Xiaoyaozi's wrist shook again, and there was no more.

The sand thief looked at Xiaoyaozi curiously, and then laughed again, "I said scholar, you are really interesting, you haven't held a sword for too long, and your hands are shaking, right?"

Just as the sand thief finished saying this, a strange phenomenon happened, and a blood-red mark suddenly appeared on the sand thief's neck, and the sand thief's eyes widened, completely unable to believe what had just happened, he had never seen such a fast sword.

The people around him didn't understand what was going on, because Xiaoyaozi's sword was too fast, faster than you could imagine, and faster than others could understand.

"Chief, what's wrong with you, Chief?" a deputy on the side saw that something was wrong with the leader of the sand thieves, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

But now, the leader of the sand thieves could no longer speak, his throat had been slit and his breathing had stopped.

"The leader is dead!" The deputy was startled at first, but then, his eyes rolled, and then he shouted, "Now I will be the temporary leader first, this group of people in front of me has a lot of valuable goods in their hands, and when we grab the goods, we will go back and slowly re-elect the leader!"

The deputy had a bright mind, and the idea was not much, so none of the sand thieves refuted it.

The deputy pulled out a full moon scimitar and gestured twice towards Xiaoyaozi, "Boy, just now our leader didn't know why he died suddenly, otherwise he would definitely attack you." Now, I'll send you to Hell instead of him. After saying that, the deputy raised the knife in his hand, ran a few steps, and rushed towards Xiaoyaozi.

Xiaoyaozi stood in place, not dodging, the sword in his hand pointed forward, and then stabbed in the air.

The deputy smiled very proudly, "You think you are a fairy when you stab me from such a distance?"

But after saying this, the deputy did not take three steps before he fell to the ground, and blood flowed from his chest and stained the sand around him red.

At this moment, all the sand thieves were dumbfounded, they could now see what was going on, this scholar, who seemed to be very powerful, could kill people with a sword in the air with a casual gesture, as if he had learned some kind of witchcraft.

There are more greedy sand thieves who mustered up the courage and roared, "Don't be afraid of him, don't you just know some evil magic, there are so many of us, are you afraid of him?"

"One~two~three!" the sand thief shouted and began to rush towards Xiaoyaozi.

Xiaoyaozi took a step forward with his left foot, and the sword in his right hand drew an arc in the air counterclockwise, and also counted three times, "One~two~three!"

After shouting the three words, all the sand thieves in the front row fell, and they died exactly the same way as their leader.

For a moment, everything was silent, and no one dared to rush up.

In another moment, a sand thief plopped and knelt on the ground, "Hero, hero, spare life!" Then there were dozens of plopping sounds, and all the sand thieves standing knelt on the ground and begged for mercy from Xiaoyaozi, "Please, hero, spare our dog's life, we are also old and young in the family, and we eat together." ”

Xiaoyaozi shook his head, turned to the merchant and said, "In your opinion, what should be done with them?"

"Let them go, it's not easy for them, you see that several of their companions have died, and the leader is also dead, it is estimated that they will not dare to do evil in the future, it is better to give them a chance, give them a way to live, and let them go." "The merchant has a bodhisattva heart, and he is very generous and benevolent.

Xiaoyaozi smiled and nodded.

"Take the corpses of your companions with you. I won't kill you today, but if you dare to do evil again, the next time you are touched by me, you will definitely not show mercy. With that, Xiaoyaozi stuffed the sword in his hand back into the scabbard.

After the sound of "bang", all the sand thieves' hanging hearts relaxed. Although they are sand thieves, but they are also afraid of death, because of their large number of people, ordinary merchants do not dare to confront them, so they are more and more rampant, and now they are so frightened by Xiaoyaozi that they are directly frightened, and they can't wait to get away from this place quickly.

"Okay, we can camp again, it's not too early, hurry up and rest, we have to go on the road tomorrow, this Death Desert is not a good place, go out one day earlier and be safe one day earlier." Xiaoyaozi said to the merchant.

In general, Xiaoyaozi's impression of this businessman is still good, and he subverts the image of the phrase "no business and no adultery" in Xiaoyaozi's heart.
