Chapter 260 Letter from the Horse Thief
(It has not been revised yet, but you can check it out tomorrow!)
Bachiman and Dalamte's faces were a little pale. At this time, they had left Thousand Machines Palace, and they also realized that they could not escape this crisis no matter what.
"Master, we really have to listen to that..." A horse thief muttered with a sad face and some reluctance.
"If you don't want to die, just shut up!" Bachiman glared at the other person and said viciously.
Intimidated by the majesty of their master, the surrounding horse thieves did not say a word, but the anxiety in their eyes continued to spread.
Daramt was sitting next to the bald man, lost in thought, obviously still immersed in what happened before.
"My Anda, what do you think?" Bachiman asked uneasily when he saw that he was in a trance.
"Don't believe everything he says, and don't believe it at all!" Dalamt retracted his gaze and said gloomily.
"Oh? How do you put it?" Bachiman raised his eyebrows and said.
"This person is the Demonic Son of the Demon Sect, Qianyuan. This cannot be denied."
The horse thieves looked at each other, and they all saw each other's fear and caution. The Demon Sect's Demon Son was a well-known figure in the world, not to mention the Demon Country and the Western Region. He is considered an extremely outstanding figure in the younger generation of the Demon Sect.
Moreover, people from the Demon Cult care very much about reputation, and imposters rarely happen.
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to be him!"
Bachiman had a look of frustration on his face. After all, it felt very uncomfortable to be controlled and threatened but unable to resist. Now he somewhat understands that the women who were kidnapped by him will commit suicide within a few days, even if they are well fed and fed.
This feeling of being dependent on others is really uncomfortable.
Dalam nodded, knowing clearly what his leader meant, and then said: "But we can't believe it. Even if we lure Xiao Yuanshan, the Lord of Loulan City, will this devil let us go?"
He pointed out what everyone was most worried about, and it was also the key to the anxiety of the horse thieves.
The followers of the Demon Cult acted casually and acted erratically. Even if they withstood the pressure in the end, they attracted a city guard that far exceeded their own number and used the advantage of field battle to eliminate the opponent. But what if Qianyuan regrets it at that time?
The horse thief, who was already at the end of his strength, was no match for this devil.
"A dignified devil represents the face of the devil's sect. He won't break his promise and openly break the contract, right?" Bachiman said with some reluctance.
"Haha, my Anda, don't be too naive! Neither the so-called decent sects nor the people of the Western Region will condemn him because the Demon Cult broke the contract and killed a horse thief!"
Yes, they are thieves that everyone calls for beating. In the eyes of outsiders, this approach of the Demon Cult can at best be called "fighting evil with evil"!
"Besides, the second boss has already given us hints." Dalamt said slowly.
After the other party pointed this out, Bachiman immediately understood the meaning of these words and said with some solemnity: "You mean what he said to Qianyuan."
The group of horse thieves recalled what the mysterious young man said in the side hall of Qianji Palace. "After the incident was completed, Bor Qincha volunteered to sacrifice his soul!"
They are all horse thieves, and of course they know the values of horse thieves. Nothing is more important than his own life, not to mention for the sake of the tribe. If betraying the tribe can give him a chance of survival, any horse thief will be happy to do so without any psychological burden.
This kind of spirit of sacrificing the ego for the benefit of the tribe is considered a "big fool" by horse thieves. Is the second boss a fool? All the horse thieves in Bachiman knew the answer by thinking with their toes.
So when he told Qianyuan like this, he had only one purpose, to remind everyone. This Qianyuan probably didn't want to let them go, but just to maximize their use, he decided to use them to consume a certain amount of Loulan City's combat power, and then catch them all in one fell swoop.
As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins. A guy like Qianyuan who thinks highly of himself will of course become that fisherman.
…………Dividing line…………
Xiao Yuanshan looked at the sand table in front of him, which was a review of yesterday's offensive and defensive battle. After several interpretations, the final result has not changed. They can win, but it will not be as easy as yesterday.
Recalling the golden light emitting from the golden body of the bronze statue, City Lord Xiao couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.
In fact, on the day he won the battle to defend the city, he issued a decree to make Confucianism the state religion throughout Loulan City and encourage warriors to practice Confucian exercises.
Because he knows that only Confucian exercises can activate this weapon! And this golden bronze statue will also become an important weapon of the Loulan Kingdom. It can be seen from this that Xiaoyuan Academy is indeed extremely powerful, and its scheming methods are extremely proficient! Even if Xiao Yuanfeng knew that it was Dean Chen's handiwork, having a valuable treasure in his hands would benefit him without any harm. Both of them would get what they needed, and it would be considered a win-win situation.
If Yi Xifeng knew the whole story, he would definitely praise Chen Chuantuo for his sharp vision and his ability to think of the correct policy of the "Belt and Road Initiative" so far ahead of his time. It turns out that heroes think alike!
A guard captain hurried in. After seeing Xiao Yuanfeng, he knelt down and said, "Report! A letter from outside the city!"
"Letter?" Xiao Yuanfeng took the envelope from Konoe with some doubts, opened it and looked through it.
The letter was not long, but City Lord Xiao's expression changed several times.
At first it was confusion, then shock, then doubt again, and then hesitation...
"Please invite Mr. Lin and Mr. Qi to come over and discuss important matters."
…
Qi Chengcheng looked at the letter in her hand, and a gleam flashed in her peach blossom eyes.
"These horse thieves are not stupid!" He said calmly with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
Lin Lei looked gloomy and continued: "They just treat us as fools!"
Xiao Yuanfeng sat at the top, listening to the conversation between the two people, his brows raised slightly. These horse thieves were more cunning than they imagined, but they did underestimate the strength of Lin Lei and others.
They are not fools. How stupid would they be to abandon the fortified city and start a field battle with each other?
Of course, it's not impossible. For example, yesterday Qi Chengcheng asked a group of Shenfeng battalion soldiers to lead a sneak attack on the horse thieves' rear. However, the final result is victory, but victory cannot cover up Qi Chengcheng's recklessness.
The two have had a normal relationship since they were young, and now that they are talking about this, they are somewhat at odds with each other.
"Don't talk to me about fighting methods and tactics here. If I hadn't brought people to rush in, how would you have had the chance to show off at the North City Gate with a bronze statue?" Qi Chengcheng said with squinted eyes.
Lin Lei was not to be outdone, and snorted coldly and said: "Do you really think that you are the savior? Do you think that Loulan City will be hopeless without you? City Lord Xiao is a warrior at the Dacheng Realm, and he has never taken any action from the beginning to the end. , just beating drums to boost morale. Use your brain and think about it, if City Lord Xiao goes into the battlefield, can the Bachiman and Dalamt hold on?"
