Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 7 Fragments
(2)

Dusk is approaching, and the setting sun dyes the road ahead red.The crows screamed shrilly in the sky, they stopped on the wreckage of the village by the roadside, or they were eating the cold leftovers on the ground, or they were looking at the five people who came here.

Seeing the dilapidated house beside her feet overgrown with weeds, Bai Feng immediately showed an unbelievable look on his face, and couldn't help but sigh, "How could this be..."

Zhao Kuo heard his friend muttering to himself, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing. In front is the west gate of Yangcheng." Bai Feng replied.

"Oh!" Zhao Kuo stared at Bai Feng with wide eyes, as if he knew some secret.

The city wall of Yangcheng is very dilapidated. Not only are weeds overgrown, bricks and tiles are lacking, but there is a big hole on the right side of the gate, which is big enough for an adult man to pass through.

The five of them saw that there were no soldiers guarding the door, so they went straight in. Unexpectedly, a man in ragged clothes came up and hugged Zhao Kuo's thigh, crying, "Master! Give the villain some money. Come on! The little guy hasn't eaten for a few days..."

Only when Zhao Kuo reacted did he realize that this person was not only full of sores on his hands, but also extremely ugly.He wears a rags bonnet, and a scar on his dirty face stretches from the left corner of his eye to the left corner of his mouth.Seeing the dirty hands covered with black mud and ash, and the yellow pus dripping from the sores on his hands, Zhao Kuo was so frightened that he subconsciously took a half step back. stay on the spot.

"You... let me go! I'll give it, I'll give it!" Zhao Kuo hurriedly took out a bunch of hanging money, but was stopped by Tuoba Chong.

"Young Master Zhao, don't reveal your wealth!"

Zhao Kuo looked at the sparse and desolate atmosphere around him, and replied confidently, "Brother Tuoba, you think too much, you should send him away with money!"

Bai Feng remained silent, just observing meticulously from the side.He stared intently at the sores on the beggar's hands, which seemed familiar.Seeing the long hanging money, the beggar immediately let go of Zhao Kuo and thanked him again and again.

"Do you know where there is an inn?" Ah Bian asked with his exhausted body pushing away Zhao Kuo, who was sorting his clothes in front of him.

The little beggar hurriedly put away the hanging money, pointed to the alley behind him, nodded and replied, "Cut the alley in front of you and keep walking until you see one."

"A-Bian, give him half of our remaining dry food." Bai Feng, who had been silent for a while, suddenly threw out such a sentence.

Ah Bian looked puzzled, looking at the little beggar's extraordinarily thin body, pale skin beside the sores, and delicate voice.He understood in his heart: Bai Feng was taking pity on this weak child. Moreover, he was in a city with more abundant supplies. As long as he had money, it was much easier to buy food and clothing than before.So he gave half of the white-faced steamed buns he carried to the little beggar.

After leaving the little beggar, the five walked into the dim alley.The alley is on the shady side of the tall tile-roofed house next to it. Because there is no sunlight all the year round, it makes people feel gloomy.A gust of wind blew, and he couldn't help but shrunk his body to resist the chill in that moment.

Bai Feng, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped the four people behind him, only to see two people slowly appearing on the road ahead.

"Be careful!" Bai Feng shouted.

A tall, thin man with a strange hooked weapon stood on the left; on the other side was a man with an ax the size of a logging axe, dragging a huge, round body that was almost eight feet tall.They were all wearing darker tights, and from a distance, they almost blended in with the surrounding environment.

"It's too late! Poor stranger, hand over the money quickly!" said the man with the axe.

Bai Feng and his party moved slowly and carefully, but at this moment, a man's voice came from behind: "Where do you want to run? Little sheep."

Zhao Kuo looked back, holding a big knife in one hand, a burly man standing there, the thick fluff on his chest was particularly noticeable.When everyone realized that they were surrounded by bandits, Zhao Kuo suddenly shouted: "Wow! Look!" The other four immediately looked towards the direction Zhao Kuo pointed - behind the burly man.I saw the little beggar who had just been away from him hiding at the other end of the alley, still holding the white-faced steamed buns given by Ah Bian.When he realized that he was seen by Zhao Kuo and the others, sweat dripped from his forehead, and the "scar" that stretched from the corner of his left eye to the corner of his left lip slipped down from his face!
Seeing this scene, Zhao Kuo was furious and kept scolding him as a liar: "This little liar, actually betrayed us!"

Tuoba Chong looked helpless and had no choice but to draw his sword to fight.After the little beggar found the "scar" exposed, he hurried away with his left face covered.

The two groups confronted each other for a long time. Due to the large number of Bai Feng and his party, the bandits were forced to dare not act rashly.In order to protect A Bian and Zhao Kuo, who are not proficient in martial arts, Bai Feng decides to team up with Tuo Ba Kuang to fight against the man with the long hook weapon and the man with the giant axe; while Tuo Ba Chong protects them Behind the two of them, they were alone to deal with the burly man. The two who did not know martial arts were in a position between Bai Feng and Tuoba Chong.

The first to act was the two with a long hook and a giant axe. They first kept a distance from each other, and then slowly approached Bai Feng and Tuoba Kuang.

Almost at the same time, the man with the long hook attacked Tuoba Guang. He deliberately feinted at Tuoba Guang's knife, trying to use the hook to restrain Tuoba Guang's weapon; and the tall man with the giant axe attacked even more. Bai Feng's long sword is intended to be like a tree: even if it is only subjected to a violent cross of swords, cracks will inevitably appear on the sword.So Bai Feng had to dodge left and right, and from time to time he had to beware of long hook sneak attacks.

Bai Feng thought while resisting: "Their way of fighting is to surrender each other's weapons first! And their cooperation is very tacit, and they must have worked together for many years. But he and Tuoba Gang only knew each other for a day, and if they fought for a long time, only There is a defeat. The Tuoba Chong on the other side and the burly man with the knife are inseparable. If even Tuoba Chong can't hold on, the consequences will be unimaginable..." Just when Bai Feng couldn't figure out what to do. After that, a delicate voice came from behind Bai Feng to the ears of everyone in the alley.

"Sir, the official messenger, it's right in front!" Then came the sound of footsteps, and dozens of soldiers came from the front and the back of the alley.

"Remove all the weapons, otherwise, kill them!" The leading spearman was majestic, with a two-character moustache on his lips and a goatee under his lips.The sharp eyes made people dare not disobey his orders.Wearing Han army armor, holding a red tassel spear on the right, about seven feet tall, with a vigorous posture.

After everyone heard it, they threw down their weapons. The burly man looked disdainful and looked at the leading spearmen angrily, and was then taken away by two soldiers.In the end, the two groups of people who fought each other with weapons were brought back to the Yangcheng county government office.
