Li Yi and the others were resting in a village inn and were having a good meal when they heard an old man at the next table drinking alone and wiping tears from time to time.
It seemed like there was something going on at home.
The innkeeper also brought him wine and food to comfort him, but the more Li Yi listened, the more something was wrong.
It turns out that the old man's child was spotted by a nearby horse bandit and insisted on marrying him.
I learned that horse bandits are coming to steal the bride today.
Li Yi's little temper came up immediately.
I wasn’t happy then!
He threw the bowl when he raised his hand.
The innkeeper's face turned green after the fall. What does it have to do with my bowl when a horse bandit came to snatch my bride? His eyes seemed to imply that Li Yi was also a horse bandit.
Thanks to Li Yi dropping a large piece of silver, the innkeeper was beaming.
Cao Qingyan immediately sent people out to collect some information, and immediately came back to report that there was a group of horse bandits on the mountain not far from the village, who often robbed people everywhere, and forced marriages were commonplace.
And today is the day when the bandit leader is coming to steal the bride.
The old man who was robbed was crying, "My poor child, why is he so unlucky that he was spotted by the bandit leader? He is only sixteen years old this year. I don't know what happened, but he fell in love with my poor child at a glance." If you have a child, you must marry him, today is the deadline!”
"You tell me, why am I so unlucky? If my poor child goes up the mountain, will he still survive?"
At this point, the old man beat his chest and cried so hard that he was out of breath.
When Li Yi heard this, he was furious. As the emperor, he encountered someone raping a common girl in broad daylight. It was so audacious!
"You bastard, you dare to bully someone and rob people's girls. I haven't even had time to do it before. This bandit leader is more domineering than me. I'm so angry!"
At this point, Li Yi suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the eyes of the people around him. He coughed twice and changed his words: "I am an official of the imperial court. How can I do such evil things, let alone ignore such things!"
"You can rest assured, I will take care of this matter!"
"As long as that horse bandit dares to come today, look at me, if I don't break his third leg, my surname will not be Li!"
The old man glanced outside the door and said, "It should be coming soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from the street outside.
Just by hearing the sound, I must have ridden more than a dozen people!
I could vaguely hear wanton shouting from outside, which was really arrogant and arrogant.
When the innkeeper heard this, he trembled with fright and said in great horror: "No, the Mountain King is here, here he is!"
When Li Yi heard this, he got up and said angrily: "Well done, I'm so angry and have no place to vent my anger, so I'm going to vent my anger on these bastards!"
Cao Qingyan and the others immediately stood up and dispersed when they heard the sound, with guards surrounding the inn.
Li Yi glanced at the innkeeper and the old man, "You go and hide in the back first, and leave the rest to me."
"Sir, are you okay?" the innkeeper asked with a worried look on his face.
Li Yi frowned, "What are you talking about? I can't deal with just a few horse bandits?"
"Sir, you don't know something. These horse bandits are extraordinary, especially the leader. He is very capable. Last time, a general nearby led troops to suppress the bandits. Hundreds of cavalry could not defeat the leader of the horse bandits. He was beaten by the horse bandits. The bandit leader took a big knife and hacked all the way to the nearby county seat before returning."
"snort!"
Li Yi curled his lips, what a bullshit bastard, that's because the officers and soldiers are incompetent, how capable can a horse bandit leader in such a remote and remote place be?
I am a being who can kill generals and seize flags on the battlefield. I am just a horse bandit leader. One sword is enough.
What's more, there are Cao Qingyan and so many masters of internal surveillance.
He was too lazy to waste any more, "Okay, go into the house and hide, and come out later to collect the body."
After saying that, he walked out.
Only the innkeeper and the old man were left looking at each other, making eye contact.
It's over, we will have to collect the bodies of these guest officials later.
These guest officials are good people, but it's a pity that their fate is bad.
Li Yi walked directly to the street in a bold move. Cao Qingyan also moved a chair and sat in the middle of the road in a grand manner.
On the left and right are Cao Qingyan and Shiba.
Eighteen is the master of internal surveillance who made great achievements in wiping out Zhu Chongyuan's bandits last time.
Cao Qingyan intended to cultivate him, so he simply took him with him.
Although Shiba is not one of the top four commanders, his strength is very good. He is a third-level master, and the internal machine supervisor has many hidden weapons. Ordinary masters are really no match for him.
As for the other internal machine surveillance masters, they have already seized powerful positions. They have taken out their crossbows and firearms from the roofs and walls and formed a battle formation.
On the street, a group of horse bandits dressed strangely and armed with various weapons rushed over like the remnants of a windstorm.
When they saw the three people who were intercepting them on the road, they all reined in their horses and stopped. For a moment, people screamed, and they were quite fierce.
However, this group of horse bandits has some strength. They are all fierce and powerful. Everyone is wearing a tall horse, holding a strong bow and a crossbow, which is very extraordinary.
The leader got off his horse and walked over with a big horse and a golden sword.
A burly figure appeared directly in front of Li Yi.
When Li Yi saw this man, his heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but raise his eyelids, "Oh my god, what a strong man!"
This guy is too strong. He looks like an extra-large African buffalo standing up. He is half as strong as Suoyi, wide and tall.
Especially those two arms, which are more than half thicker than ordinary people's thighs, just like two pillars.
Veins were popping out on his arms, and the tight, bronzed muscles seemed to contain huge tenacity.
The word "strong-backed and strong-backed" has become so true for the first time.
A head of black, slightly curly hair is draped over his shoulders, with what looks like dreadlocks in front, which makes him look a bit like a wild pony.
Square face, protruding chin, firm face, clear contours, two horizontal strips of flesh on the cheekbones, fierce and urgent, the whole face looks like a tiger's head and a lion's head.
Looking at the armor on his body, it's quite strange. If you look closely, you can see that it's just two pairs of armors pieced together and tied with ropes.
On his back is a huge heavy sword.
No, it can't be said to be a sword, it should be an extra-large zanma sword.
This strong man doesn't need to speak or fight, just standing in front of people is enough to shock the whole crowd.
A natural and domineering spirit arose spontaneously.
As for Li Yi and Cao Qingyan, the eighteen and three people were so shocked that they were speechless.
Of course, the three of them were simply ignored because of their thin appearance.
I saw that this "strong man" completely ignored Li Yi and the others, glanced at Li Yi, and strode into the inn, "Where are the people? What's going on? They are all dead. Get out of here!"
This deep sound shook the roof and made the roof fall to the ground.
Li Yi and the others all covered their ears for fear of being deafened.
This is too bullying, so I just ignore it.
Li Yi was furious and started to curse with an angry groan.
But what the horse bandit leader said next made Li Yi stunned and speechless for a long time.
"Old man, hand over your son quickly, this king is going to marry the husband of the stronghold today!"
Plop!
Li Yi sat down directly on the ground.
what's the situation?
Did I hear that correctly?
He just said that the old man's son is the husband of the stronghold?
Li Yi's expression was as if he had seen a ghost, dumbfounded and horrified.
Looking at Cao Qingyan, Shiba and the others were in a similar situation.
This "extra large" strong man is... actually a woman?
"You...what did you just say, that you are a woman?"
