C15 beheading

Yuan Chiying rode his warhorse and galloped on the road. This area was surrounded by valleys and the roads were rugged. They had been rushing for three days straight but they had not seen a single person.

Following the route on the map, they would reach the first stop after walking for another 3000 meters, Liaofeng.

Yuan Chiying slightly frowned. Based on his current strength, Yuan Chiying was not so arrogant as to think that he could defeat these bandits and force his way through.

However, the Liaofeng was the only path that had to be taken to reach the Han Mo. Yuan Chiying had no choice but to take it step by step, and after eating some rations, he decided to continue his journey.

The next day!

At the foot of the Liaofeng, there were all kinds of bamboo houses, with all kinds of cries that sounded like a market. In this village, most of the people were elderly, but the strange thing was, there were no signs of bandits appearing.

Yuan Chiying came to the side of a bamboo house. At the entrance, an old man was busy fixing a somewhat dilapidated chair with his head lowered, his expression focused.

"Old man, may I ask, how do I get to the Pu Town?" Yuan Chiying asked.

When the old man heard this, he looked up and glanced at Yuan Chiying, slightly surprised. Yuan Chiying was simply too young, and just by looking at his clothes, one could tell that he did not belong to the Liaofeng.

"You really want to go to Pu Town?" The old man asked uncertainly.

"Yes!" I have to go! " Yuan Chiying nodded with certainty.

"Young lad, you are still young and you still have a long road ahead of you. Pu Town is not a place for you to go." The old man advised.

"Old man, is this Pu Town a man-eating monster?" Yuan Chiying pretended not to understand and asked.

There were only a few locations marked on the map, but most of the information on the Pu Town were not specified at all. Yuan Chiying wanted to find as much information as possible that would be useful to him.

"Let's not talk about Pu Town, even a child like you cannot go through Liaofeng!" The old man shook his head.

"Why is that? Is it because of the bandits on the Liaofeng? " Yuan Chiying was a little surprised.

"The current Liaofeng is extremely chaotic. Originally, it was a single power, but in these years, a power suddenly appeared and seized the mountain region at an extremely fast speed. Now, it can be said that the battle is extremely intense, not to mention you, an outsider, even us villagers, who have been living at the foot of the mountain for many years, can't get through it." The old man slowly said.

Originally, our village only used to supply grain to one village. But now that the war is still going on, we were forced to provide grain to two families.

"Then the imperial family doesn't care?" Yuan Chiying was a little puzzled.

The old man shook his head. Furthermore, these bandits are used to pretending to be powerful, so how could they allow others to control them. Of course, it's not like the Imperial Family never interfered, it's just that the results were minimal. "

It had to be known that the empire was huge, and many places were in chaos. Even the royal family couldn't allocate that many people to deal with it.

"Old man, who are these bandits?" Yuan Chiying asked curiously.

"One group calls themselves the bamboo hat thief, the other calls themselves the Qiu thief." The old man said.

Indeed! Yuan Chiying understood that these were the Li Mansion and autumn gate that were active in the southern borders, the subordinates of these two families.

"Old man, I want to have a meal with you. Is that alright?" With that, Yuan Chiying took out 20 spirit stones from his cloth bag and gave it to the old man.

Since the beginning, Yuan Hua had already given Yuan Chiying ten thousand spirit stones. Although it wasn't much, it was enough for him to use for a while.

"Come in with me!" The old man took the Spirit Stone from Yuan Chiying's hand and said.

Following the old man into the room, aside from a pile of junk on the floor, the entire bamboo house was not spacious and the furniture seemed a bit old. In the center of the room, there was a simple wooden table and three square wooden chairs.

"Take a seat!" The old man invited Yuan Chiying to sit, then walked into a simple kitchen.

From the looks of it, the old man seemed to be living a simple life, and from the looks of it, he didn't even have family members.

"Big brother, why are you in my house?" A shy little girl stood behind Yuan Chiying and said in a tender voice.

Hearing that, Yuan Chiying turned around.

The little girl looked to be about four or five years old, with two ponytails. On her pink cheeks, a pair of big eyes shyly looked at Yuan Chiying.

"Little sister, do you live here?" Yuan Chiying smiled, rubbed the little girl's head and said.

"En!" The little girl lightly nodded her head and moved a bit evasively.

"Don't be afraid! "Big Brother is not a bad person, it was grandfather who let me come in to eat," Yuan Chiying said with a smile.

"Is Grandpa in the kitchen?" The little girl said childishly.

"Hm!" "What's your name?"

"Feng Linger."

"It's a very nice name. My name is Yuan Chiying."

Mhmm! Feng Linger gently nodded her head as a blush appeared on her pink cheeks, making her look extremely adorable.

"Ling'er, wake up!" "Then come over to eat!"

At this time, the old man brought out a pot of steaming hot food from the kitchen and said.

"Grandpa …" Feng Linger shouted as she trotted.

Then, she took out three pairs of chopsticks from the old bowl on the stove. After running for a while, Feng Linger's face became as red as an apple, and she started panting for breath.

"Here!" Big brother, this is for you! "

Feng Linger handed a pair of chopsticks to Yuan Chiying.

"Ling'er is so obedient!" Yuan Chiying lovingly patted Feng Linger's little head.

As his stature was too small, the old man carried Feng Linger onto a chair, scooped a bowl of food and passed it to her.

"Child, you have to eat too!" The old man said to Yuan Chiying.

"En!" Yuan Chiying nodded and unceremoniously started to eat.

Yuan Chiying was indeed hungry, and in the past half month, his stomach had not eaten a single grain. Even if the food on the table was just plain rice and vegetables, Yuan Chiying still ate with relish.

As the young master of the Yuan Mansion, he usually ate precious delicacies and had long become immune to all kinds of delicacies. But at that moment, Yuan Chiying suddenly felt that the plain tea in his mouth was more delicious than any other food.

The old man looked at Yuan Chiying, who was wolfing down his food, and said benevolently: "Eat slower, there's still more if it's not enough!"

While the three of them were eating, a shout suddenly came from outside the house.

"Come out, it's time to pay the protection fee!" A rough voice sounded.

"Sigh!" You two can eat here while grandpa goes out for a while! " The old man sighed and said.

Hm!

Yuan Chiying nodded his head, just from the sound of it, the people who came were probably a group of bandits that lived in the Liaofeng.

Feng Linger's tender hands trembled a little as she placed the bowl on the wooden table.

"Ling'er, don't be afraid! With big brother here, no one will bully you and grandfather! " Yuan Chiying held the little girl's hand, stood up, and walked out.

Outside the house, the bandits had a total of ten people. The leader was a man who was completely naked, with several thick golden chains around his neck and a bald head. He didn't look like a good person.

"Don't just stand there. A hundred spirit stones or five hundred catties of rice per household!" The bald man shouted.

Basically, everyone in the village was gathered here. With a rough calculation, there were almost fifty people in the entire village, and most of them were old people.

"My lord, the crops have not been harvested recently. Our meals have become a problem. Where can we get five hundred catties of rice?" An old lady in the crowd complained.

Master, this year's harvest is not good. We haven't been to the market in Pu Town for a long time, so we can't afford to take out the spirit stones! A middle-aged man quickly said.

"Hehe!" No? That's easy to do... "Take them away and move rocks in the mountains. If anyone dares to resist, beat them to death!" The bald man threatened.

Just as he finished speaking, the nine people behind the bald man moved in unison. They all drew their sabers and stared fiercely at the crowd.

"Master, the people from autumn gate just came a while ago and they've already collected all of our leftover food. We really can't take out five hundred kilograms of rice right now! Besides, old bones like us can't do this kind of heavy work! " Grandfather said as he swam.

"Old thing, cut the crap. If you can't pay up, even if you die, you will die on the mountain!" The bald man said fiercely.

Seeing the bald man's impatient expression, the grey robed man behind him slowly walked out and extended his hand toward the old man.

Right at this moment, a strong gust of wind assaulted him.

Bang.

As if he had suffered a heavy blow, the grey robed man flew backwards.

"Ah …"

The grey robed man's hand broke and he rolled on the ground, screaming in pain.

Seeing that, the bald man's gaze darkened as he stared at them and said, "Who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of our Li Mansion? "

"The person who wants your life!" Yuan Chiying said coldly.

Swoosh!

Just as he finished speaking, Yuan Chiying's body shot out like a cannonball, his left hand aiming straight for the bald man's head.

"How dare you!" The bald man was enraged.

A fist the size of a bowl struck towards Yuan Chiying's face at the same time, the bald man's strength was at most two thousand kilograms, how could he be a match for Yuan Chiying? During the sprint, Yuan Chiying's head slightly tilted to the side and dodged the bald man's attack.

Ka-cha! *

The sound of bones breaking resounded. The bald man's huge head tilted, and his entire body collapsed onto the ground, lifeless.

This was the first time Yuan Chiying had killed someone ever since he came out of seclusion, and his actions were efficient and efficient, without any hesitation. The anger in his heart could be seen, the remaining eight bandits all waved their swords as they charged towards Yuan Chiying.

"Take revenge for boss!" One of the bandits shouted.

"Humph!"

Yuan Chiying laughed out loud, his figure flashed, and in a few seconds, all of the fists and kicks struck the vital points of these bandits, and in a few breaths, these eight bandits were all killed by Yuan Chiying.

To Yuan Chiying, killing these people would be as easy as blowing off dust. In the end, the grey-clothed man who laid on the ground screaming miserably, was also finished off with a single kick from Yuan Chiying.

All the elders looked at the bald man's group that had been showing off their might a minute ago. In the blink of an eye, they had been killed in front of their own eyes. It could be said that they were speechless for a moment.

This was also no wonder. The people in this village were basically all ordinary people, not to mention that Yuan Chiying looked too young. In the words of these elders, his fur hadn't fully grown yet!

"Sigh!" "You're too rash!" The old man sighed.

"Old people, don't worry, I won't implicate any of you. If anyone comes to interrogate me, you all can say that it was the Yuan Mansion's Yuan Chiying who did it!" Yuan Chiying said with a slight smile.

"Sigh!" Why do you have to suffer! "

"Young man, hurry up and leave!"

"Yes!" Before they realize it! "

Everyone tried to persuade him.

"Thank you for everyone's concern! "Don't worry, these bandits can't do anything to me. Not only will I not leave, I will even make a trip into the mountains!" Yuan Chiying said with clear eyes.

Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, they could only give up.

"Elder, let's go back and eat!"

As he said that, Yuan Chiying walked into the room.

"Big brother!" Feng Linger ran over and jumped into Yuan Chiying's embrace.

"Ling'er, you aren't scared, right?" Yuan Chiying tenderly caressed Feng Linger's little head and said.

"Hm!" They are all bad people! I hate them! " Feng Linger pouted.

"As long as big brother is still alive, I definitely won't let these bad guys bully Ling'er!" Yuan Chiying said while looking at the little girl in his arms.

The old man looked at Yuan Chiying and spoke bitterly: "Child! "Don't you know that these bandits are ruthless? Moreover, they have powerful strengths. All the young villagers have all been captured and taken to the mountains to work hard?!"

"The group of people you killed earlier are only the vanguard troops. If you don't return tonight to report to them, there will at most be another group of people tomorrow!" The old man said worriedly.

"Old man, you don't have to worry, I'll go into the mountains tonight and meet these bandits!" Yuan Chiying said with a profound gaze.

"Sigh!" Let's eat first! " The old man said helplessly.

As night fell, Yuan Chiying stayed in his room with Feng Linger until she fell asleep.

Yuan Chiying stood up without batting an eyelid, left the five thousand spirit stones in his bag on the table and quietly left.

Carrying a cloth bag on his back, Yuan Chiying sprinted all the way up the mountain, causing rustling sounds to be heard wherever he went. Yuan Chiying's goal was very simple, he had to first ascertain the specific strength of these bandits.

Not long after, Yuan Chiying arrived at the mountainside where he coincidentally found a stronghold.

It seemed like everyone inside was having a party. There were two guards standing outside the foothold with sticks in hand. These two were dressed differently from the group of people from earlier in the day. According to the elder, these people were probably Qiu Thief's group.

Yuan Chiying was dressed in a black robe and quietly hid in the darkness. He quietly approached the stronghold and stealthily bypassed the two guards. He arrived at a corner of the stronghold and crouched down, listening to the wall.

"A mysterious guest has arrived tonight. Have you heard about it?"

"I heard that this person has a good relationship with our tribe's chief!"

"Of course, after being in the Liaofeng for so many years, when did you ever see the chief receive anyone personally?"

"Guess who he is?"

"I advise you not to talk too much in case you get punished!"

"I feel that this mysterious guest is a woman …"

"Hehe!" "How do you know?"

"We can see it from the chief's expression."

"Then do you think the chief will …"

"What nonsense are you spouting!" "Based on the degree of respect the chief has for this mysterious person, I'm afraid his status is extremely high!"

From the voices, Yuan Chiying was able to determine that there were probably four people on the other side of the wall talking to each other.

Yuan Chiying was not a bloodthirsty person, upon finding out that these people and the people who attacked the village during the day were not the same, Yuan Chiying decided to use a relatively gentle method to infiltrate, the walls of the stronghold were not high, it was only five metres, to Yuan Chiying, climbing over it was not difficult at all, it was just that, how could he avoid these people and find the City Lord?!

"Since there isn't a good way, then we can only forcefully charge in," Yuan Chiying said in a low voice.

According to the elder's words, this gang of Qiu Thieves was one of the more merciful ones. Even when it came to collecting salaries, they had never resorted to forceful methods.
