"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Do you untouchables want to die?"
As the city gate opened, dozens of soldiers rushed out. They were neatly equipped, wearing armor and carrying weapons. They moved in unison. It was obvious at a glance that they were the elite in the city.
"Commander Wu, Commander Wu, Boss Hu fainted. It was the kid in front who hit him."
When the former had a tall and straight figure, and the armor fit him well, not as funny as when a fat man wore it, he waved his hand, and the brothers behind him surrounded Mu Qing and Wang Xiuwei, and even the frail pregnant woman could not Run away.
The people sent by Fatty Hu to ask for help said that Mu Qing and the others were rebels and were gathering to make trouble. At this time, the city was initially set up. Ubu, the commander-in-chief of Shule City's army, did not dare to be careless at all. He kissed dozens of his most elite brothers and rushed Come over.
He himself has a fifth-level strength, and his brothers have also practiced the strength of iron bones to move mountains. At this moment, the encirclement has become complete, and even if the opponent has a third-level cultivation, they may not be able to escape.
Seeing that the situation was under his control, Wu Bu slowly walked up to Fatty Hu, inspected the opponent's injuries with a look of disgust, and asked with sharp eyes: "Tell the truth, what's going on?"
Mu Qing asked Xiao Wuling to help the woman who failed to escape from the encirclement to his side. He shook his head at Sun Ren and others who were about to draw their swords and fight, "Don't move lightly for the time being."
There were still uncleaned bloodstains on the swords of those soldiers. They were obviously veterans who had experienced battles. They understood the principle of capturing the thief first, so they put most of their strength on Mu Qing's side. They were also very particular about their positioning during the siege. .
Mu Qing looked to both sides and saw that the refugees had dispersed like birds and beasts. Only Wang Xiuwei and others were standing next to him. His eyes were calm and he comforted: "Sister Xiuwei, just keep an eye on them. Don't stand next to me." Something will happen."
Wang Xiuwei looked at the luxurious carriage that seemed to have been forgotten by everyone. He slightly opened his red lips and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, in fact, my sister also knows some self-defense skills."
Sun Ren was more than ten feet away from Mu Qing. Seeing that Mu Qing was surrounded, he understood that if something happened to Mu Qing today, the dozen or so of them would not end well. The fear in his heart and the thoughts in his chest The cruelty surged into his throat. He and his men approached Mu Qing while waving their weapons, while nervously reminding him loudly: "Young Master, you have to be careful, they should be a combined attack formation."
Sun Ren was an old man in Iron Bone Village. Their leader Lin Pan would always inadvertently mention the exercises practiced by the army when he showed his skills to the brothers. Occasionally, he even led several leaders to demonstrate the results on two occasions. The momentum of the formation, Sun Ren remembered for a moment, he was no stranger to the formation on the field.
Others know that to capture a thief, you must capture the king, how could Mu Qing not know that?
As if being pricked by needles, Ubu's palm trembled and quickly withdrew from Fatty Hu's chest. Before the horror in his heart could ferment and become bigger, he felt that the same hot sword intent had locked onto him, and he He quickly stood up and looked towards where the line of sight came from, past the layers of surroundings.
The burning feeling on his hand that wanted to pierce the depths of his soul was still there. Ubu squinted his eyes to hide the jealousy in his eyes. His thin lips seemed to be glued together. He moved for a long time before speaking with difficulty. : "Your Excellency has great cultivation and superb methods. I wonder how the fat man behind me offended you?"
"Commander, Boss Hu is the father-in-law of the city lord, why do you..." Ubu started begging for mercy. The gloating on the faces of Fatty Hu's men had not faded away, and they all looked at Ubu in surprise.
Ubu raised his eyebrows, looked around and then became quiet. These ants didn't know the terror of the sword intent, but he felt the residual power of the fingertips, not to mention the new hot sword intent hanging there. Above his head, how dare he dare to resist?
Mu Qing looked at the surrounding soldiers who were still full of hostility and said nothing. Wang Xiuwei smiled at Tantai Jing, who had wide eyes and was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "It seems that this person knows the strength of brother Mu Qing, we won't something's up."
Wu Bu had been paying attention to Mu Qing's movements, and saw Mu Qing gently resting his palm on the long sword at his waist, raising his slightly dark cheeks, waving his big hand to his subordinates and saying: "You guys get out of the way first. "
His cheeks were slightly hot, and he walked up to Mu Qing step by step, and asked in a low voice to save his dignity: "Didn't I ask for your name?"
"Mu Qing."
"I don't know how that Fatty Hu offended Your Excellency, but he was beaten unconscious by a sword energy."
how? When you can win, you fight. When you can't win, do you think of convincing others with reason?
Mu Qingxing's eyes flashed with amusement, he looked at the unconscious culprit over there and said: "We are going to the city, and he wants to collect money, ten taels per person, and we also give it, but this man It's not that we came from a bad way, and we were labeled as rebels."
Wu Bu looked at the meat ball on the ground not far away with a look of disgust. He couldn't get into trouble at this time. In order to stabilize his image, he raised his head and looked directly at Mu Qing and said: "Please forgive me, the rebellion in the city has been decided." , it’s a good thing to have stricter investigation.”
Is it a strict investigation, or is it just taking orders for personal gain? Mu Qing thought of the indignity of these people, chuckled and shook his head. He had no interest in dealing with these people anymore.
Xiao Wuling saw that Mu Qing didn't want to say more, so he stood next to Mu Qing and continued: "Then you can't just take money randomly when we have money. From ten taels per person to one gold per person, they even ask us to get rid of it." Clothes search, especially the fat man looked at Miss Xiuwei with a leering look and told Miss Xiuwei to take off her clothes too!"
When Wu Bu saw a younger brother coming out to talk to him, his eyes narrowed and his chest felt extremely irritated. He wanted to snort and get angry, but what he saw when he lowered his head was Mu Qing's fingers on the hilt of the sword. He quickly woke up and felt that after hearing the last Finally he understood what was going on, he let out a breath, clasped his fists towards Wang Xiuwei and said, "Fat Hu was disrespectful to Madam with his words and deserves to be punished by Your Excellency. I apologize to Madam for him."
"Huh?" Wang Xiuwei raised his eyebrows. She never thought that the other party thought she was Mu Qing's wife. She opened her red lips and asked, "General, can we enter the city now?"
"Okay." Wu Bu waved his hands to move away, looked at the hands of Sun Ren and others, hesitated for a moment and said: "It's just that their weapons have to stay, and you have to provide a guide to go to other states. .”
Sun Ren also came over at this time and saw that everyone was in peace. His face was filled with joy. When he heard that his weapons were about to be confiscated, he couldn't help but look at Mu Qing with a grimace.
"Go and get the road guide that Li Si gave you." Liu Weirui once asked Li Si to bring a road guide to Sun Ren and the others. After Mu Qing finished speaking, he looked at Ubu and nodded: "This Commander, you may not know something. These people are the guards of the caravan. If they don’t have weapons with them at any time, the road to Youyan State will be difficult. We are just passing by when we enter the city this time. No harm done.”
Wu Bu was hesitant and didn't want to agree. When he saw the road guide handed over by Sun Ren and the words "Liu Family of Jinguan City" on the document, he hurriedly put it away and gave it back to Sun Ren. He looked at Mu Qing and clasped his fists, saying: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You really made a big mistake. Since you are the Liu family's caravan in Jinguan City, how could you be the rebels who gathered to make trouble?"
Sun Ren didn't expect the Liu family's road guide in Jinguan City to be so useful. He felt happy and asked, "What about our weapons?"
Wu Bu quickly waved his hand and said with a familiar face as if he had known each other for a long time: "Since it is a reasonable situation, we will not confiscate it."
He asked his men to open the city gate wide, stretched out his hand and said: "I have only heard of his name but not of his person. I have always heard of the name of the Liu family in Jinguan City. I have to see you today. I wonder if you can give me a chance to give me a brief introduction." I will prepare a banquet to entertain you all, and also let me apologize to everyone on behalf of Fatty Hu."
The situation in the field changed so quickly that even Mu Qing, the person involved, could not accept it. Originally, his worst plan was to kill the person in front of him and then take advantage of the chaos to leave. It was nothing more than taking more detours and turning over Shule City. It's just a barren mountain. How could you imagine that the Liu family's road in Jinguan City would be so effective.
Mu Qing was a little strange and asked Sun Ren: "Why didn't you take out the road guide at the beginning?"
Sun Ren looked remorseful for causing trouble to everyone, and said regretfully: "It's not like that fat guy just wanted to kill us when he saw there were so many of us. I was so angry that I forgot about it."
Wu Bu burst out laughing when he heard this. Fatty Hu did nothing good by taking advantage of his daughter being the city lord's concubine. He took away an unknown amount of oil and water that should have been his. After the crisis was over, he was actually happy to see that the other party was unlucky today. After a lot of money, he smiled widely and said: "This Fatty Hu is famous for amassing money. Since he is unconscious and doesn't believe it, we will perform his duties on his behalf. Today, when the young master goes to the city, he doesn't have to hand over a penny."
Ubu felt quite proud, feeling that he had been surrounded by the city lord all day long. He had already done enough etiquette in these dealings. He waved his big hand forward aggressively, "The untouchables here are so crowded, I'm afraid it will stain my eyes." , is not a good place for conversation, so please go with Ubud to the city for a drink."
Mu Qing originally thought of reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling man, and was already ready to agree to go into the city together, but he didn't expect to hear the other person say this. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Xiuwei calmly.
Wang Xiuwei grew up in Huanchang. When he was among people, he had already been accustomed to quietly observing the expressions and movements of everyone who spoke. When Mu Qing looked at him, he instantly understood his intention. She moved closer to Mu Qing, opened her red lips and pretended to whisper: "The master of the house has told us to escort the wife back in a low-key manner, how dare we drink freely." After saying that, she glanced at the carriage where Wang Yeqing was staying.
Mu Qingxing's eyes lit up, he smiled softly at Wang Xiuwei, then looked at Wu Bu and shook his head and said: "Commander Wu, we were supposed to be secretive on this trip, but this happened unexpectedly. We can't stay too long after entering the city, let alone drink. , we will keep your kindness in mind. Please understand."
Wu Bu also heard Wang Xiuwei's whisper. Only then did he notice the luxurious carriage parked a little far away. The curtains of the carriage were made of gauze, and people could be faintly seen. Thinking of some kind of lady, Wu Bu had a feeling in his heart. Stimulated by spying on the secret affairs of the big family, he also came closer and looked a little obscenely, and said in a much lower voice: "That's really unlucky, but I can understand it. Then please stop at Shule when you return in the future. , don’t forget that there are several tables of fine wine waiting for you here.”
Mu Qing nodded with a slight smile and walked out of the city gate under the leadership of Wu Bu. Wu Bu looked at the three refugee beggars following Wang Xiuwei and frowned slightly. Wang Xiuwei explained softly with a smile in his eyes: "They are following I am coming with you, but Madam feels the journey is lonely and boring, so she feels pity for them and wants to stay so that they can talk with her in the future."
Wu Bu looked at the carriages that were slowly moving behind him and said with a slight smile: "This lady is a living Bodhisattva. We reckless soldiers can only protect ourselves in this troubled world."
As Mu Qing walked towards the city gate, he looked at the refugees who had gathered around him, and asked Ubu: "Has there always been a rule at this city gate that requires people to pay before they can enter?"
Ubu's steps were cautious and he smiled a little awkwardly and said: "That's not true, it's just that Fatty Hu did make a small fortune for the city lord."
Mu Qing nodded and signaled Wang Xiuwei to hand the silver he had prepared earlier to Ubu.
Wu Bu quickly shook his head and said: "What does this mean? Are you trying to kill me?"
Mu Qing shook his head and said: "Since this is indeed a rule that the city lord knows, we naturally cannot make it difficult for Commander Wu to do it."
Wu Bu still refused, and he could still distinguish between short-term benefits and long-term benefits. Mu Qing's eyes flashed with light, and he nodded: "Then this doesn't count as our entry into the city, how about it counts as these people's?"
Mu Qing pointed at the people standing numbly on both sides. Their eyes were cloudy and yellow, and only when Wang Xiu showed his silver, did they shine slightly.
Wu Bu looked at the people Mu Qing pointed to. He naturally knew what was going on with these people. He shook his head slightly and frowned and sighed: "Why bother, Your Excellency? These people's eyes are dull and they have lost their vitality long ago. They are no longer alive." There is no doubt that they are dead. You saved them for a while and allowed them to cross this city, but what about the next city? Can they really follow you to Youyan Prefecture and settle down?"
"It's just a waste of effort."
Wang Xiu glanced at Wu Bu slightly, and then at Mu Qing, who seemed unusually silent at this time. He lightly opened his red lips and said bluntly: "What the commander told is the truth."
Mu Qing looked at the woman who was huddled next to Wang Xiuwei, her back hunched, warily holding the baby in her arms, and nodded, "That's it."
