Heroes of the Fantasy World

Routine patrolling the city is a very boring job.

From the bustling hustle and bustle of the imperial city center where the houses look like houses and the streets are well-organized, step by step to the outer city, the city wall, to dilapidation, to barrenness, there is a sense of loss that seems to be born with you, which quickly fills your body and mind, and it will soon make people look at this place. job bored.

What's more, this itself is a idle job.

Under the imperial city, no matter what kind of gang leader you are, the leader of the gentry, or a famous aristocrat, here, there will always be someone with more status, talent, and ability than you, even if you are already invincible. There is also a "Son of Heaven" sitting on the head, who dares to openly make mistakes?

Therefore, the so-called patrolling the city is more often just a show, spreading the majesty of the emperor, and the dirt hidden inside, the weak and the weak that really need to be helped, and the evil that really needs to be attacked, are often destroyed before the army passes by. Disappeared without a trace.

And they, the heroic soldiers in silver helmets and steel armor, can only sniff the clues left by the old Jiang Hu and sigh secretly, sometimes it is the screams of women, sometimes it is the half-mutilated man or child squatting Dying by the side of the road.

"It's the emperor's army coming!"

The soldiers stared ahead, turning a blind eye to everything ominous. No one thought they couldn't see it, but they were used to it.

Bai Feng had thought about enforcing the law impartially when he went out to patrol the city several times before, but the subordinate's obedience to the law and the common people's distrust of him all made all the late justice come to naught.

This time, the situation seems to be a little different.

A man ran wildly from the end of the line to the front, jumping up and down excitedly, grabbed the reins of Bai Feng's horse, and pushed the little girl who was in charge of leading the horse aside: "I will lead the horse for Brother Bai!" I didn't need to explain it, because the others didn't want to pursue it at all: "You didn't tell me before you set off, and you caused me to run all the way. This kind of rough work should be done by me."

"You bastard!" The little girl who was pushed aside bared her teeth angrily. She calmed down only after the general on the saddle waved her hand, and then silently followed behind.

"Anyone who knows me, Su Qing, knows that I have never been a pampered and idle person. I can do any dirty work, and I will do it more neatly than everyone else!" His words Clearly very noticeable, though an earbud to a battle-hardened soldier.

People standing around Su Qing looked at him with contempt, the little girl behind him wanted to stab him with a sword, even the led horse felt a little noisy and struggled to shake its head.

"Hey! Wow~wow~" Su Qing hurriedly comforted him: "My wife abandoned me, and the master disliked me. Now, even the beast wants to show me face?"

After all, the surrounding soldiers giggled and sneered unexpectedly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to be mobilized, Su Qing immediately continued: "Am I a useless wretch? Tell me, do I have to spend the rest of my life in endless pain? I haven't found my wife yet. She accompanied me through a hard life, worrying all day, for fear of being approached by my enemies... One day, a lunatic approached her, and her fingers were cut off just because she refused to tell me where I was! Knowing that she has been obsessed with piano art in this life, this is simply more humiliating than killing her. I am useless!"

When the soldiers saw a despicable and miserable man crying like this, they couldn't help but became more interested. Someone asked: "Brother, do you have something to say tonight while we drink together? We are still patrolling the city, so don't lose General Baifeng face."

"Let him talk." Bai Feng immediately retorted: "Don't you all like to hear it? It's my honor for Su Qing to open his heart today!"

When Su Qing heard a tall hat on her head, she coughed a few times in shock and spit out blood again, the two beards around her mouth were stained red: "Xiang Chuchu, I miss her so much... But, I can't just do it like this." Go find her, look at me now, even I look down on myself!"

Everyone booed.

Not long after, an old woman suddenly bowed down in the middle of the road and blocked the way, pleading bitterly, saying: "My lords, when the grass people passed by here just now, a burglar snatched the package. It contained the silver for my daughter-in-law's medical treatment. I have no legs. I beg my lord to help me recover my burden!"

"Go, go!" The soldier standing in front of the old woman replied, "We are His Majesty's personal guards, such petty thefts are out of our control, go find other guards!"

Bai Feng hesitated to speak, and inadvertently looked at Su Qing, the two seemed to have a tacit understanding.

"General Baifeng, leave this matter to me." Su Qing cupped his hands in respect and said, "I am familiar with all kinds of gangs here, so I am not afraid of them hiding people!"

"Thank you, Brother Su." Before Bai Feng finished speaking, Su Qing jumped up the wall and chased after him, causing everyone to cry out in surprise.

"It's amazing!" The little girl who had been hiding behind finally took the reins again: "Brother Yi, isn't he critically ill? How can he be so agile? It's unbelievable."

Bai Feng said: "A Ke, don't look at him looking like he's about to die, it's probably just pretending."

After a while, Su Qing really came down from the sky with a bundle and returned it to the original owner, "I brought the things back, man, I will perform Fa-rectification on the spot, take off his pants, and tie him to a tree stump. He will definitely remember it all his life." .”

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!" The old woman kowtowed repeatedly, and then hurried home with her burden.

Seeing Su Qing's return, Yu Ke didn't fight with him this time, and took the initiative to hand over the rein and asked, "Brother Su, can you teach me to climb over the wall?"

"Hmph, so eager to learn?" Su Qing said with a sneer, "I'll think about it after I go back."

Yu Ke walked away slightly disappointed.

After the army reached the city gate, they began to divide their troops to search along the official road to see if there were any savages forming a camp here. Bai Feng took this opportunity to break away from the army and went to the depths of the dense forest privately. At the intersection of the river bank, he found traces of camping.

Both Su Qing and Yu Ke didn't know what Bai Feng wanted to do, and they couldn't help being cautious no matter how confident he was.

"Come out!" Bai Feng shouted, and Yu Ke and Su Qing followed suit.

On the other side of the river, two tall and short shadows approached from a distance, becoming more and more distinct.

"Brother Bai!"

"Young Master Bai!"

A pair of men and women in filthy clothes appeared in front of everyone. Their hands were black, their hair was messy, their clothes were damaged at different levels from the cuffs to the sleeves and elbows, and there was only half of the dress left. It was obvious that they had lived in the wild for a while. Due to time.

"It's Mr. Fu and Sister Ayu!" Yu Kedeng threw down his sword and greeted him in a bully way: "You guys finally appeared! I thought..."

Bai Feng echoed: "I haven't told anyone about this matter, I'm afraid that after leaking the secret, it will fall to the Taiping Taoists."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Su Qing covered her mouth and poked her head to have a look: "You guys are too picky! You don't wash it if it smells so bad, don't come here, I won't spare you if you dirty my clothes."

"Isn't this Mr. Su?" Fu Wentao and Ayu said in unison.

"You are as straightforward as ever." Fu Wentao said with a sly smile: "By the way, Brother Bai, I have been hiding outside the city these days. I thought I would never have a chance to come out in this life, but luckily I still I met another like-minded person, Brother Bai, please take a look."

Fu Wentao pointed to the bushes behind Baifeng, where there was a big pagoda tree, which was not noticeable at first, until the sound of fallen leaves rustled there.

A well-proportioned and stocky monk is slowly coming out. He is holding a golden lacquered Zen stick with a golden Buddha bell hanging from the stick, which will make a sound when he walks.

"Bai Shaoxia, don't come here unharmed." He said.
