Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 205 The Beginning of a Dream

(15)

At this moment, no matter whether it was in front of the door or by the wall, there were servants with long sticks everywhere they looked.

These young servants looked extremely thin, their arms were not much thicker than the bamboo poles in their hands, and it felt like a gust of wind could blow them to one side.The clothes on their bodies had countless holes, so that their ribs were exposed, but their steps were still surprisingly consistent, no one panicked, they just stood where they were, like soldiers on the battlefield——no new orders came At that time, they will build a hard wall of flesh on the spot.

The reason why human beings can fight against huge beasts that are hundreds of times stronger than themselves is not only because they can make and use weapons, but also because they can unite their own forces most effectively, so that they can fight side by side with more favorable factors.We would call this behavior a tactic or strategy.

Bringing out these little servants one by one and comparing them with Bai Feng is like comparing flies and rats to eagles and boa constrictors. The young swordsman can defeat his opponent without any effort.But now standing in front of them are dozens of people with weapons in their hands, and they are united as one, without any flaws to be found.

Under such coercion, even Bai Feng, who has faced life and death tests several times, has to think carefully, is this conflict worthwhile?

There are layers of stick formations in front of you, and the hunchbacked old man's voice hinders you behind him, and he said: "Don't do anything, just talk if you have something to say! Young Xia Bai, this old man just wants to see the glory of the Longming Sword with his own eyes, why bother?" To make such a big move?"

Seeing Bai Feng standing still, the hunchbacked old man thought that his persuasion had begun to bear fruit, so he walked up to the other party, intending to spend more time trying to trick the young swordsman.

Unexpectedly, Bai Feng had already made a plan in his mind at this time, and happened to see the boss of this group of boys approaching in front of him, so he simply took advantage of this opportunity, pulled out his sharp blade decisively, pressed it against the throat of the hunchbacked old boy, and threatened: "Hurry up!" Get out of the way, or I'll kill your brother!"

Suddenly the crowd was in an uproar, no matter in front of him or behind him, big beggars and little beggars all flocked to him, pointing at Bai Feng and saying: "Young hero, absolutely not!"

"Don't... don't come near me!" After the hunchbacked old man said, the surroundings became a little quieter.Afterwards, he actually started to hold the sword propped under his head, and looked at it carefully, "This... this is definitely that sword! I think, I can still smell blood from it, it's us villains The blood! Not only fishy, ​​but also smelly."

Seeing the old man's excitement, Bai Feng was confused and asked, "What do you mean?"

"You understand what I mean, you won't kill me, and you don't want to kill any of them." The old man said: "You can scare them, I won't be afraid! Tell me, where did you get this sword? of?"

"Bah! You old man, I don't even know your name, and you actually asked me to hand over my sword to be slaughtered?" Bai Feng shouted at the servants again: "Get out of the way, if you don't obey, I'm going to cut a small gash right around his throat!"

"Little brother, I have no grievances or enmities with you. I just negotiated a deal. There is no need to fight and kill... This old man can tell you that I have no name. I grew up among rats, and I was gnawed by rats when I was born." He lost a foot, and was almost smothered in a pool of blood, but fortunately he was rescued by a passing beggar. From then on, he lived a life of hard food, sleeping in the open, hungry and cold, and because of this, he got a hunchback."

Bai Feng saw that he was still trying to confuse the crowd, trying to shake his own will, so he urged: "Say something quickly, don't beat around the bush!"

"Everyone calls me 'Shutuozi'. Those who look up to me will call me big brother, and those who look down on me are just like you, Young Xia Bai. There are all kinds of names, and there are all kinds of ugly names." As soon as the Shutuozi finished speaking, he stretched himself out With his left foot, he lifted off the old and worn-out dark-colored hakama for others to see clearly, so as to prove that he was not lying.

I saw that a large part of his left foot was indeed missing, and it was replaced by a wooden stake, or a stick, because this wooden stake is not thick, but it looks heavy only because too much dust has accumulated around it.

"That mouse hunchback, why do you know about the Longming Sword?"

"Hey, you haven't answered my question yet, Young Master Bai, how did you get this sword? Could it be that you stole it?"

"No, this sword was a gift from someone else."

"Then, you must know who that person is!" Shu Tuozi was startled, raised his head and begged back: "Is he still alive now? If he is still alive, he must be an old man with white hair. Come on!" Come quickly to me!"

"He's alive, but he's still an upright man, obviously not an old man."

"Isn't the person you're talking about called Gao Zhu? That kid can live forever!" Shu Tuozi was extremely surprised, and murmured, "It's really embarrassing not to teach me such a method..."

"Senior, you...you are talking about Gao Zhu, but that White Snake Immortal? He...he is my master!"

After Bai Feng finished speaking, Shu Tuozi jumped suddenly, then turned around, held the opponent's arms tightly and looked at him carefully, his arched back directly bounced the Longming Sword away up.

"Are you his apprentice? Are you really his apprentice? Then we are on our own, hurry up, put down our weapons, let's go in and continue drinking and chatting?"

Bai Feng saw that the servants around him were obeying orders, everyone got rid of the state of fighting to the end, and turned to greet each other with smiles, and just agreed, followed Shu Tuozi to go in, chatting with each other.

This time Shu Tuozi didn't play tricks around Bai Feng, but regarded him as a guest of honor and treated him respectfully.

"How is your master? I think about him day and night, and I don't see him come back to visit me, an old hunchback."

"Master, he passed away a few months ago. This sword was not given to me by Master."

"It sounds like there's another story?" Shu Tuozi said, "However, he actually passed away before me. Unexpectedly, my old hunchback's life is really hard. Not being able to attend his funeral is the most regrettable thing in my life. "

"Why does senior miss Master so much? Did he ever come to Yuyi Town?"

"Not only did he come here, he also killed the big corrupt official at that time!" Shu Tuozi said vividly, looking at the sword from time to time: "Although Boy Gao looked like a beggar at that time, he actually had great ambitions in his chest. He is very skilled in martial arts, and holds a rare sword in his hand. So, the old hunchback, I naturally approached him very quickly to curry favor with him. But...he despises the business we do, but he even less despises the corrupt officials oppressing us outlaws after!"

"He stood in front of those bureaucrats and said, 'I don't know what kind of exiles, I just see you oppressing the people, in Yurou Township'. Before he finished speaking, he dodged and went straight up to take the head of the dog official. "

Bai Feng responded and said: "Master killed the officials in the government, and he will definitely be wanted, so the senior helped the master escape?"

"Bai Shaoxia, you don't know. We exiles will be looked down upon wherever we go, so we can't do anything. In the end, we can only do some sneaky business. Your master looks down on my business, and he doesn't bother to ask the old man I asked the hunchback for help...but he helped me, us people, so I planned to help him once. So, when he took refuge, he confided his heart to the old hunchback, saying that he came down from Kunlun Mountain to find relatives , I want to go back to Huaishuo Town! I told him where Huaishuo was, and finally he left alone."

Shu Tuozi blinked, tearful, looked away with admiration, and recalled: "This Longming Sword has killed countless treacherous villains, bullies and robbers, but your master still didn't cut off my head after all. He respects me and knows the difficulties of us people, and I respect him as much, so when we parted, I promised him that I would never do those businesses that ruined people's fortunes and separated their wives. It's booming."

"It turns out that Master has also been here before." A smile appeared on the corner of Bai Feng's mouth, the feeling of happiness is indescribable.An old friend who is so close to him and yet so far away is now "living" in the mouth of others.

"Speaking of Young Xia Bai, what exactly do you want to investigate? Do you really want to know the whereabouts of that 'Yi Xiao Huang Quan'?"

"Senior, I have to know, because a batch of silver taels of my friend were robbed by this 'Yi Xiao Huang Quan', and I suspect that this has something to do with General Yao."

"Hahaha, you guessed right. Our Money Rat is the middleman in this matter. We are in charge of connecting General Yao and 'Yixiao Huangquan' and trying to divide up the 1 taels of silver. I heard that the [-] taels of silver is still from Zhao. Relief money from the family to others?"

"This matter is absolutely true. My friend Miss Lou's family is in trouble and she needs this money urgently! If the truth can be found out as soon as possible, she will be able to get over the difficulties as soon as possible."

Shutuozi's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at the other party very seriously: "It's better not to pursue this matter any further. This is a transaction between the powerful and powerful, and we unknown juniors are just pawns. Bai Shaoxia, after this old hunchback, I can Send someone to lead you to 'Yixiao Huangquan', if you want to live, don't investigate any further. Go and capture 'Yixiao Huangquan' safely, then become a petty official and settle down."

"Why? Could it be that there are more entanglements in this?" Bai Feng replied: "Senior, I am not going to be an official. Isn't senior afraid that these people will cause Yuyi Town to be implicated in the flames of war again? At this time, the building collapsed, The people were displaced..."

Shu Tuozi sneered, shook his head, and said: "Oh, this place can't accommodate us, and we will be despised and ridiculed wherever we go. I admire Bai Shaoxia's old mind, but, old Tuozi, I just want to see the living Bai Shaoxia, so that even if the flames of war come, we can stand on the same front."

After finishing speaking, Shu Tuozi took out a gold-plated copper coin with a few mischievous mice carved on it, and said: "You take this copper coin, then you will be a friend of our money mouse. When you walk around the streets, what happens to you?" Don't be afraid, we are all your 'brothers'."

Bai Feng accepted the kindness, drank a few more sips of mulled wine, and then went back home.
