Pingyuan County consists of two cities, namely Hengcheng and Border City, eight towns, and several villages. It can be considered a large county.
Hengcheng is the county seat, and the border city is on the border of Feng Kingdom, adjacent to the Morpheus Federation. It is also the place that is most frequently attacked and plundered by Morpheus's army.
The Feng Kingdom issued a ban on relocation a long time ago. People on the border can only live in the same place and are strictly prohibited from moving in. If they are found to have moved in, they will be sentenced to death.
If it hadn't been for such a regulation, all the people in Pingyuan County would have fled long ago, and Hengcheng and Border Town would have become two empty cities.
The destination of Tang Yin and others is Hengcheng, the county seat.
Hengcheng is not close to Shunzhou, and even riding a horse would take nearly two days.
After leaving Shunzhou, the further north you go, the more desolate you feel.
When walking on the official road, not only are there few passers-by, but looking to both sides of the road, you can see basically vast stretches of barren grassland and dry woods with all their leaves gone. There is no crop land, let alone farmers’ houses.
Qiu Zhen looked up at the sky. As the sun set, he hurried to Tang Yin's side and said, "Brother Tang, there are no villages nearby. We can only spend the night in the wild tonight."
Tang Yin has long been accustomed to a life of using the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed. He nodded, looked around, and saw a large forest at the foot of the mountain in front of him. He pointed with his finger and said, "We will be there tonight."
Let’s spend the night there!”
"Okay!" Qiu Zhen responded and conveyed his words.
They were walking towards the woods pointed by Tang Yin. Suddenly, whistles sounded in the woods, and then hundreds of big men armed with swords, guns and clubs rushed out.
Tang Yin and others were startled, thinking they had met Morpheus's enemy soldiers here, but after a closer look, they didn't look like them at all. The big men were all wearing the clothes of the Feng Kingdom, and they were mixed and messy, gathering together.
There is no formation and no structure.
These people should not be Morpheus's army, but local bandits.
Before Tang Yin could say anything, Gu Yue rode forward and shouted loudly: "Who are you? What are you doing?"
Two people walked out of the opponent's crowd. They were both of the same stature. They were both six feet tall. They were tall and sturdy. They also looked the same. They both had thick eyebrows and beards. They both had fierce looks on their faces. Look at the weapons in their hands.
, it’s still the same, each of them is holding a long gun. When they stand together, they look like clones.
The two big men shouted in unison: "I planted this tree and opened this road. If you want to live forever, leave money to buy the road!"
They are really bandits! Tang Yin and others secretly laughed in their hearts. The other party was so short-sighted that even the county guard's team dared to stop him. Isn't this looking for death?
Gu Yue almost laughed angrily, but he kept a cold face and said in a deep voice: "You are so brave, you dare to rob the officers and soldiers..."
Before he could finish speaking, the burly man on the left laughed strangely and said, "Don't say I didn't tell you the rules. I will let you go after leaving half of the money. If you dare to resist, hehe..." As he spoke,
, he swung the spear in his hand and said proudly: "Then don't blame me, sir. My men are ruthless and will kill you without leaving a trace!"
"What a loud tone!" Gu Yue was furious, got off his horse and rushed out.
When the big man saw this, instead of being afraid, he came out to greet him.
Gu Yue was on the horse and he was on the ground, so the former naturally had the advantage.
When the big man rushed to the horse, Guyue didn't say anything, and swung his arm with a heavy knife.
He didn't take the bandits seriously, and he didn't use the spirit of the weapon when he drew the sword, but the force of the steel sword was still great, and the whistling sound of the breaking wind was ear-piercing.
The burly man did not dodge, but stood on the spot, parrying with his spear.
Danglanglang!
With the sound of the collision of iron tools, Gu Yue almost screamed. He felt that his knife was not held by the opponent, but more like it was chopped on a boulder. His wrist was numb from the shock, and his mouth was painful. Before he could wait,
When he came to his senses, the burly man suddenly jumped up, swung his gun with one arm, and hit Guyue's head hard.
Woo--the gun body broke through the air and roared like a strong wind.
He knew how powerful the opponent's shot was without having to take it. Gu Yue's expression suddenly changed, and he no longer dared to be careless. While raising the sword, he completed the spiritual transformation of the weapon, then held the handle of the sword tightly with one hand, held the blade up, and raised it.
Hard connection on top of head.
Click!
The big man's spear hit his sword firmly, and the force was so great that Guyue felt like he was being pressed down by a mountain. He could barely bear it, but he couldn't bear it anymore when he got off the horse. All the limbs of the horse were broken, and the horse
His waist collapsed, he fell to his knees with a plop, his mouth was bleeding, and he died unexpectedly.
"Ah?" Gu Yue was shocked. Just as he was about to stand up from the dead horse, the sturdy man shot back and stabbed him straight in the throat.
It was so fast that Gu Yue didn't even have time to dodge.
At this moment, a ray of cold light flew out from behind Guyue and hit the face of the sturdy man.
The latter sneered, flicked the spear he thrust out, and easily knocked away the incoming arrow.
That's Lotte's arrow.
Although he did not hurt the opponent, he interrupted his attack. Taking advantage of this gap, Gu Yue jumped away from the horse and retreated several steps back.
He used the Spiritualization of Soldiers, but the opponent only used an ordinary spear to force him out of danger, which shows how powerful this burly man is.
Guyue was not convinced and wanted to get on again, but Tang Yin behind him shouted: "Guyue, come back!" As he spoke, he got off his horse and walked forward.
Even though he was unwilling to do so, he did not dare to disobey Tang Yin's order. Gu Yue glared at him fiercely and slowly retreated to his own camp.
When he went out, he only exchanged two moves with the opponent. Not only did he not hurt anyone, but his horse was shocked to death. He felt a little embarrassed. When he came back, he shook his head in shame and said nothing.
Let's talk about Tang Yin. When he got close to the sturdy man, he looked him up and down, then looked at the man behind him who looked exactly like him, and asked: "Are you two twin brothers?"
"It's none of your business. If you want to take action, show off!" The burly man was very arrogant. In addition, he easily defeated Gu Yue just now, and he was even more arrogant. He raised his head, curled his big mouth, and stared at Tang Yin from the corner of his eyes.
"Haha!" Tang Yin was infuriated by his appearance. He was already crazy enough, but this big man was even crazier than him.
He asked: "Do you know who I am?"
"Who are you?" the sturdy man asked obediently.
"Tang Yin!"
"Tang Yin? I'm sorry, I haven't heard of you!" The look of contempt on the face of the sturdy man became even stronger.
Tang Yin said with a smile: "I am the new county magistrate of Pingyuan County!"
The burly man was stunned for a moment, then he said "Oh" in sudden realization and said with a smile: "I remembered, I heard that the county magistrate has been replaced. I didn't expect that the new county magistrate is you..."
While he was shaking his head and talking, Tang Yin suddenly moved forward, and at some point the two swords appeared in his palms, stabbing the big man's throat and heart.
He didn't even say hello, he just took action when asked, and his speed was extremely fast. The big man was startled and instinctively swung his gun to block.
But who would have thought that the two swords struck by Tang Yin were just feints. The moment he swung the gun, Tang Yin twisted his body and turned behind him like a top, swiping his two swords horizontally and slashing his waist.
Tang Yin's movements were too fast and too weird, completely beyond the big man's expectations. The latter couldn't dodge and retreated unscathed. In desperation, he had no choice but to use the spirit armor transformation, and took advantage of the situation to spiritualize the spear in his hand.
Bang!
The two swords struck the spiritual armor, causing sparks to fly and making a golden sound like the collision of iron tools.
Tang Yin's sword is fast, but the strong man's spiritual armor can be transformed faster.
Just by looking at the speed with which he completed the spiritual armor transformation and the spiritual transformation of the weapon, Tang Yin could tell that the opponent's spiritual energy cultivation level should have reached the spiritual realm.
It is hard to imagine that a spiritual cultivator with such advanced cultivation could be a bandit.
The opponent's cultivation might be higher than his own, so Tang Yin didn't dare to be careless. After attacking with two swords, he also completed the spiritual armor transformation and the spiritual transformation of the weapon.
He combined the two spiritualized swords into one, forming a sickle shape.
The two consecutive spiritual transformations of the soldiers surprised the tough man. He stared at Tang Yin and said unconvinced: "You have learned the spiritual martial arts well, but the sneak attack just now shows that your moral character is very poor."
"You bandits, how dare you talk about virtue with me? Besides, haven't you heard that a soldier never tires of deceit?" Tang Yin sneered, waved the sickle in his hand, and started another fight with the sturdy man.
This time, both of them saw how powerful the other was, and both showed their true abilities, applying what they had learned, and the fight was extremely fierce.
Tang Yin's prediction was correct. This big man's cultivation had indeed reached the Lingyuan realm, which was a step higher than him. However, Tang Yin's body skills were flexible and his attacks were agile. When fighting with the big man, he did not fall behind at all. Instead, he often defeated him.
The opponent was in a hurry.
Seeing that the brothers were struggling to fight Tang Yin alone, another big man who was watching from behind couldn't hold back his anger. He was afraid that his brother would suffer a loss. He roared and rushed over with his gun. What was originally a one-on-one duel became the twin brothers fighting together against Tang Yin alone.
.
With one against two, the opponent's cultivation level was higher than his own. In addition, the two brothers' marksmanship was superb and each had its own uniqueness. Tang Yin began to fall at a disadvantage. Gradually, he made fewer moves and more parries, making the situation quite dire.
passive.
However, his movement skills are too fast and weird. Even if he is unable to defeat the two brothers, it will be difficult for the opponent to hurt him.
Often when the two brothers' killing moves were about to hit Tang Yin's vitals, the latter's body miraculously escaped like a ghost. The two brothers were so angry that they screamed, but there was nothing they could do against him.
While the two sides were fighting fiercely, suddenly, they heard shouting and shouting on the official road, and a group of officers and soldiers came running under the banner of the wind flag.
There were thousands of officers and soldiers in this group, and it was dark now. Looking from a distance, one could not tell the number of people in the darkness on the road.
The bandits were all shocked when they saw this, and the two brothers who were fighting fiercely with Tang Yin were naturally aware of it. The two of them looked at each other and had a mental connection. They abandoned Tang Yin and jumped out of the circle. The two looked back, and then started to move toward
He retreated hurriedly and shouted to Tang Yin: "Your helper is here. You are lucky. If you meet our brothers next time, we will never let you go!"
After saying the cruel words, the two brothers blew sharp whistles, led hundreds of bandits, and quickly got into the woods and fled.
