The Desert Rattlesnake looked somewhat ugly at the moment. He never expected that his two brothers would be killed by others in just two moves.

Facing the vigorous Zhao Yuan, Rattlesnake suddenly showed fear, reined in his horse and took a few steps back, saying in a trembling voice: "You...what do you want to do?"

Zhao Yuan took two steps forward and said sternly: "If you tell who sent you, I won't kill you! If you are stubborn and don't know, I will send you back to the west!"

Rattlesnake saw that his men were surrounding Wang Bin and others at the moment and had no time to save him. He suddenly felt timid and said: "Okay, I said, yes..."

But at this point, the words suddenly stopped, and the person next to him who had never spoken was the one who took action. At this moment, a sword in his hand pierced his neck.

Rattlesnake obviously didn't expect that the person who attacked him was actually someone close to him. He turned his head with difficulty, with a look of disbelief on his face, and opened his mouth, but at this moment he couldn't even speak.

"Poof!"

The man drew out his sword, looked at Zhao Yuan, smiled, and said: "Boy, I didn't expect you to have some skills. It seems that I'm not just complaining about you, but also overestimating this group of people. That's all, today counts."

You’re in luck!”

Having said that, he shakes the reins and rides away.

"Where to go!"

Zhao Yuan shouted and struck with a knife in his hand.

The man raised his sword and waved it casually!

"Ding!"

The swords clashed together.

Zhao Yuan felt his hand tremble, and he couldn't help but take a step back to stabilize his body. When he looked at the other party, his body swayed slightly.

"The inner strength is stronger than myself!"

Zhao Yuan came up with this answer in his heart and did not rush to attack again.

The man smiled and said: "Young man, you must know how to advance and retreat!"

Then he shook the reins, turned around and rode away, not caring about the bandits who were still fighting desperately.

Zhao Yuan did not dare to pursue him. It seemed that his own kung fu was no match for him yet. It would be best for him to leave such a strong opponent.

Looking back, I saw the bandits still attacking Wang Bin and others. He took a deep breath and shouted: "The desert rattlesnake is dead!"

This shout was so powerful that even the robbers, Wang Bin and others who were fighting desperately could hear it clearly.

The robbers couldn't help but look this way after hearing this, and easily saw the three people lying on the ground.

"The boss is dead!"

…

I don't know who shouted loudly next.

The Desert Rattlesnake was the core of these people. As soon as he died, the robbers had no desire to fight at this moment. They ran away one by one. They ran away in an instant, leaving corpses on the ground. This sudden incident

The battle ended suddenly in this way.

"Brother, your kung fu is pretty good!"

Wang Bin stepped forward and looked at the bodies of the three people on the ground. He had some injuries on his body, but he didn't care about them at all now.

He was somewhat surprised by Zhao Yuan's martial arts skills. He didn't expect to kill the three Desert Rattlesnake brothers so quickly. These three men were notoriously difficult to deal with.

Zhao Yuan shook his head slightly and said: "I didn't kill the rattlesnake, or was it killed by the people who came with him?"

"Killed by someone who came with us?"

Wang Bin wondered, squatted down, looked at his body carefully, nodded, and said: "Indeed, he was killed by a sword, and the person who drew the sword was so fast that he didn't notice it at all. Logically speaking,

He said his kung fu is pretty good, how could he not even have any reaction?"

Zhao Yuan put the knife back into the scabbard and said: "This person's kung fu is much higher than mine. If he deliberately wanted to deal with us, we probably wouldn't be able to escape today, and they have a complete advantage? Do you know this person?"

"

This is what Zhao Yuan is wondering about. There are more enemies than him in the round. The assassin can easily suppress him with his skills. Why did he suddenly kill the desert rattlesnake and leave on his own?

It's like giving up the victory so easily.

Wang Bin shook his head and said: "This person is very handsome and I don't recognize him! But don't worry about it. One day ahead is Zizi City. I'll treat you to a drink!"

Zhao Yuan put away the doubts in his heart, cupped his hands and said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey!"

I vaguely felt that this Wang Bin was not an ordinary person.

Five of Wang Bin's dozen people were killed in this battle, and the rest, including him, were more or less injured. Only Zhao Yuan was unscathed, and more than thirty people were killed by the bandits, including desert rattlesnakes and

His two brothers, and most of the more than thirty people died at the hands of Zhao Yuan.

The caravan group was obviously frightened. Although they did not suffer any losses and the bandits were not the target of the attack, they refused to be escorted by Wang Bin and others during the rest of the journey.

Wang Bin didn't care. The robbers left a lot of horses behind. Each man rode one and took the rest away together. After all, horses are a very precious asset in this desert.

Their dead and injured brothers were also taken away. The corpses would not rot in a day, and they could be taken back for a proper burial. As for the corpses of the robbers, they were left to be left in the desert. They would become the vultures and vultures in the sky.

The best food for the beasts that struggle to survive in the desert.

There was no need to escort the caravan, and there were horses, so the speed suddenly became very fast. At dusk, the people and horses arrived at Zizaicheng.

The entire Zizai City is built entirely on the mountain, and is divided into two parts, high and low. The high part is built on a high platform and is surrounded by towering city walls, while the low part was later expanded and built on the ground.

Above, it is also protected by tall walls.

Xia Zizai's residence and barracks are mainly concentrated in high places. The city walls are several feet high, and the base of the city wall is five or six feet higher than the lower floors. In this way, even if the enemy breaks through the first floor, it will be enough to resist them.

It is nearly ten feet high and is like a natural barrier. It will take a lot of manpower to break it. In order to prevent the enemy from sieging the city, Xia Zizai has stocked up enough food to feed all his troops for two years. In addition, the reason why he chose this place in the first place

The city was built because a cave was discovered here. Inside the cave was an underground river, which would never stop flowing no matter how dry the area was.

Xia Zizai had people divert a small part of the water out, thus ensuring water supply for the entire upper and lower cities.

If Zizai City still has a shortcoming, it is that it lacks enough river water and cannot dig a moat outside the city wall. However, there is no need for a moat for Zizai City. You must know that this place is now unattended.

The area still belongs to the Ming Dynasty on the territory. However, since the Ming Dynasty army retreated to Jiayuguan, it no longer cares about this area. It is too close to the Ming Dynasty for Tubo. Although the current Ming Dynasty is due to the coastal

The invasion of Japanese pirates caused a lot of damage, but they were still strong, and Tubo did not dare to take over the place rashly.

Precisely because it was caught between the two forces, and because Xia Zizai had eliminated the surrounding bandits, Zizai City had become a paradise for those merchants, and many merchants were willing to repair or trade here.

Therefore, the lower level naturally became a commercial area. Hotels, inns, and various businesses were built here, and the prosperity was no less prosperous than those cities in the pass.

Wang Bin was obviously very familiar with Zizaicheng, so he took Zhao Yuan directly into the largest inn in the city, asked the waiter to arrange the accommodation, and then asked him to prepare a table of wine and food.

Looking at the table full of wine and meat, Zhao Yuan's taste buds were immediately excited and he said: "Brother Wang, is this too much?"

Wang Bin picked up the wine jar, filled the bowl in front of Zhao Yuan, and said with a smile: "You saved my life. A little food and wine are nothing. If you need my help in any way, just ask."

Zhao Yuan's heart moved, he picked up the wine bowl and said: "Brother Wang, I really need your help with something. Is it convenient?"

Wang Bin smiled and said: "If there is any inconvenience, there are things in this city that I, Wang Bin, don't know about! Just ask."

Zhao Yuan turned his head and looked out the window. What he could see outside the window was the tall city wall and the watchtowers at intervals. It looked like a heavily guarded place.

So he pointed his hand and asked: "May I ask Brother Wang, where does King Zi Zai live behind the wall?"

Wang Bin also picked up his bowl at this moment. He drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp and said: "Exactly!"

Zhao Yuandao: "Then, Brother Wang, is there any way to help me and let me meet King Zi Zi!"

"puff!"

Wang Bin spit out a mouthful of wine and said in disbelief: "You want to see King Zi Zi?"

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I want to meet him!"

Wang Bin was a little confused: "King Zi Zi is not that easy to see, and I heard that his whereabouts are unpredictable, and he may not necessarily stay in the city. It will not be easy to see him!"

Zhao Yuan also knew this. If he wanted to see Xia Zizai here, it would be no less than meeting the emperor in the palace. Even if Wang Bin was a local snake here, it would not be easy to see Wang Bin through him. He looked embarrassed.

He didn't seem to force it, so he said: "If it's difficult, just forget it, I'll find another way!"

Wang Bin put the bowl down with a bang, patted his chest and said: "A man, what have you said doesn't count? Just wait, I think I will find a way. Don't say he is the king of freedom, even the king of heaven, I will think of it."
