Chapter 267: The Horse Thief’s Team of Seven
When the black-armored soldiers were about to put them into the city, an armored man suddenly stopped them.
When Zhang Yanshi, who was following the team, saw the other party, his eyes shrank slightly. This man also wore black armor, but the format was different from these ordinary black-armored soldiers. Judging from the energy around the opponent, this man's strength must not be underestimated.
The black-armored soldier in charge of the inspection immediately bowed and said: "I have seen the guard general!"
It turned out to be the guard of the south gate! After knowing the identity of the other party, not only Zhang Yanyan, but also Yi Xifeng and Zhao Long were on guard.
That's right, this armored man is the gatekeeper of the south gate of Luoye City.
Luoye City is the most majestic city in the south of Luoyun Kingdom. The entire city has a hexagonal structure and has a total of six gates: South Gate, North Gate, Southeast Gate, Southwest Gate, Northeast Gate, and Northwest Gate.
Each city gate is guarded by a knight-level guard. After all, it is the most powerful city in the south. The status of these guards is no lower than that of the four generals under Ji Rentu.
In fact, in terms of overall strength, there are not many warriors above the chivalrous realm in Luoye City, more than twenty people. Even though Yinren Village has been focusing on art training over the years, Yinren is still at a disadvantage in terms of absolute numbers.
Fortunately, the Luoye City family has a great cause. Not only does it have this majestic city to guard, but as the overlord, it also has some strong men among the other forces. Among them, in addition to the four forces from Yinren Village and Tiexin Village, there are also knights from Luoye City. The realm warrior is in charge.
Calculated in this way, just to stick to its own power, Luoye City needs ten chivalrous warriors. If Ji Rentu and his four major cavalry generals are also included (two have already been lost), Ji Shenfu can truly be free. In fact, there are not many knight-level warriors deployed.
This is why Yinren Village repelled Ji Rentu's troops on the battlefield after annexing other forces, but Luoye City could only compete with them secretly, and the two sides did not openly fight each other. This is the reason!
In terms of high-end combat power, both in terms of numbers and quality, Yinren did not fall behind at all. If Ji Shenfu wanted to start a war rashly, he really needed to think about it.
At this time, the guard of the south gate was a capable general under Ji Shenfu's command. His name was Qin Kai, and his inner strength had reached the level of a chivalrous person. Even Luoye City, which had many strong men, could not do it. A person who can be ranked high.
However, what really made this armored man famous in the county was his ability to defend the city. Known as: Luoye County’s No. 1 City Defender General!
Because of this, people in the Jianghu gave the knight the name "Iron Bi" and became known as "General Iron Bi". Of course, General Iron Wall here is only well-known in Luo Yun Kingdom. If he went out of Luo Yun Kingdom, there might be many military generals with the same name as him. Whether it is self-proclaimed or rewarded by one's own king.
However, this knight's name is rarely repeated. After all, the military is divided into national boundaries, but the martial arts world is the same. Of course, there have been cases where two well-known knights, or heroes, rose to prominence at the same time, and ended up receiving the same evaluation, or knighthood, in their respective martial arts circles.
So if two heroes who are so destined do not agree to have a fight under such circumstances, it would be a shame for the people who gave them the reputation of being heroes.
So every time there are two similar or similar warriors with chivalrous names in the martial arts world, it means there will be a battle to keep the chivalrous names.
What? If you don’t like this knight’s name, can you give it to someone else if you don’t want it? Sorry, it's usually not possible without fighting. Is the other party so weak that you don't like it, and does it still need your charity?
…
Qin Kai looked at the group of people and frowned slightly. He couldn't explain why, but he felt that these people were awkward.
But there's something awkward about it that I can't tell you.
He stopped the black-armored soldiers guarding the city, took Ji Rentu's waist badge, and inspected it carefully.
The same question, the same code word, Ma Sanye's answer was flawless.
The armored man thought to himself: The waist card is indeed correct, and so is An Ye. Judging from their attire, they should be the group of horse thieves that Ji Rentu had conquered in a short time. Humph, what groom? A horse thief is a horse thief, to put it nicely.
He glanced at the leader, Ma San, and asked in a cold voice: "Why did you enter the city this time?"
Ma Bangzi rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Master Ji has ordered us to report back immediately if we find anything! No, let's catch a suspicious person."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the car behind him.
"One?" Qin Kai raised his head and glanced at the other person, but just this look made Ma San sweat like rain.
Ma Da Bangzi firmly believed that the armored man in front of him was more terrifying than the people behind him. Although his martial arts cultivation level is only in the Qi realm, which is stronger than that of his subordinates, his strength is limited.
But years of fighting in the arena have also given him a natural fighting instinct. It was this fighting instinct that allowed him to escape death again and again.
"Sir... Sir, it's really just... just..." Ma San was under too much pressure, and even answered the other party's questions, becoming a little stuttered.
"Sir, it is true that we only captured one person. As for the other person in the carriage, he is our companion. In order to prevent the other person from running away or committing suicide." Zhang Yanshi reached out and patted Ma Dabangzi on the shoulder and replied.
Qin Kai's frown relaxed slightly and asked slowly: "Who are you?"
Zhang Yanyan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I am their leader. People on the road call me Ma Da Bangzi. The general calls me Ma San Jiji."
"Ma San?" The armored man pondered for a moment. Apparently he had also heard of this name. As a defender, he had some understanding of the many forces south of Luoye City.
The guard in black armor threw the badge in his hand back to Zhang Yanshi and said softly: "When entering Luoye City, you must act according to the rules and don't play any tricks."
Zhang Yanshi immediately bowed, and then said softly to the real Mr. Ma Sanye who was standing behind him in a daze: "Brother Six, how are you going to go?"
Mr. Ma was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head and went down.
Knowing that this group of seven horse thieves had walked away, Qin Kai's eyes still stayed on them.
"Sir, what's the problem with this group of people?" A black-armored soldier asked his leader in confusion.
The armored man shook his head and laughed at himself: "There's no problem. The badge is right, the clothes are right, and even the password is right. It's so right. If there are too many pairs, it feels a little wrong."
The black-armored soldiers obviously didn't quite understand what the guard said, so they had no choice but to ask, "Then, how about I send someone to keep an eye on them?"
Qin Kai said with some astonishment: "It's just a feeling. I have nothing to do, so be careful. We don't have enough manpower? Are we going to keep an eye on them?"
In fact, there was something he had not said in his heart. Even if there was a problem, it was not his Qin Kai's problem, but his Ji Rentu's problem.
