Chapter 7: Soldiers Outshine Bandits
Chapter 7: Soldiers are more powerful than bandits
The two red winds fought side by side.
"Along this road, keep moving forward, I will be my Tianjiazhuang." The girl named "A Xiu" said.
Teng Qingshan looked at A Xiu: "What happened in Tianjiazhuang and who was saving?"
"Axiu, what, what?" Teng Shou also asked.
The farm girl cried and said, "It was a group of soldiers coming to our Tianjiazhuang to collect taxes, but the tax was too high and we couldn't afford it at all. So, those soldiers were in our Tianjiazhuang and caught young women everywhere to pay for the money! The village was completely in chaos. I climbed out of the dog hole in the fence and ran over."
"Charge taxes?" Teng Qingshan frowned slightly.
In his hometown of Jiangning County, Yangzhou, those robber gangs will collect New Year's money. Once the annual money is not enough, they will occasionally appear to catch some strong men to pay off their debts, or catch some young women to pay off their debts. The strong men can be used as bandits, and young women can even be sold to kilns or enjoyed within the robber gang.
In short, in troubled times, both strong men and young women can be considered money.
"Soldiers collect taxes and catch women? What's the difference between them and robbers?"
Teng Qingshan has already seen the village ahead. The village is not far from Crescent Lake, and it is about two miles away.
"Please, let me go, let me go!"
"Dad, mom--"
"Ahhh...save my mother..."
"Fuck, get aside."
"Little bastard, I kick you to death."
The woman screamed at the top of her lungs, the child cried loudly, and the scolding of many soldiers, in chaos.
Teng Qingshan and the others rode on the Red Wind to fight the bars. As soon as they arrived at the open space in front of the farm, they saw this scene, and there were even a lot of blood on the ground.
"Stop!" Teng Qingshan shouted angrily.
The angrily shouted, as if the spring thunder exploded, which scared many people to cover their ears. For a moment, the originally noisy and chaotic open space suddenly became quiet.
Teng Qingshan saw clearly that the open space was mainly divided into two groups, one group of people was locals in Tianjiazhuang. They all suppressed their anger, held machetes, guns and sticks in their hands, but did not take action. The other group was soldiers wearing simple light armor, and these soldiers were also holding many young women.
Some of those women struggled wildly, obviously knowing what a miserable fate it would be if they were taken away.
"Who are you?" The leader of the army rode on a one-horned battle stele and looked at Teng Qingshan from a distance.
"Dad, mom." The girl named "A Xiu" jumped off the Red Wind Battle and rushed to the Tianjiazhuang clan crowd.
"A Xiu, who told you to run out?" The patriarch of the Tianjiazhuang, a gray-haired old man with a scar on his face, shouted angrily. He was anxious! He knew very well... Even if the person A Xiu found was very strong, he could drive away these soldiers. However, the revenge of the soldiers in the future will be even more terrifying!
The old man with gray hair bowed and said, "I am Tian Weishan, the head of Tianjiazhuang clan. Two, Axiu, this child is ignorant..."
Teng Qingshan didn't listen and looked directly at the sergeant leader: "You, what's going on here?"
The leader of the soldier looked at Teng Qingshan carefully and thought to himself: "These two people who came out of nowhere are so arrogant... However, the ones he sat down were the Red Wind War Bars, and they were both sides! Tsk tsk, this is a valuable thing, and he can ride the Red Wind War Bars, and he is not an ordinary person."
"Haha..." The sergeant leader laughed, "We are here to collect taxes, but Tianjiazhuang refuses to pay. According to the rules, it is natural to get people taxes, only once a year, not much at all."
"We have paid for it three times this year." A woman who was caught by them roared, "You bad-hearted dogs have been raised again and again. We don't even have enough food, and we even ask us to pay it! We women and children all make money in farming, not enough for you--"
"Bang!" A black bearded sergeant who escorted her next to her directly slapped the woman's mouth full of blood.
"Mom." Among the Tianjiazhuang crowd, a young boy's voice was hoarse, but a strong man was covered by his mouth, and the strong man's eyes were filled with tears.
"Once a year, but this woman said she had sex three times." Teng Qingshan just spoke.
"Hey!"
The sergeant leader frowned and shouted, "This tax collection is our army's business. You, a passerby, are you meddling with other people's business. Give you a face and say a few more words to you, don't get in the way!" Then he turned his head and stared at the patriarch of Tianjiazhuang and shouted, "Old man Tian, hurry up, hand over the boy who hurt my brother just now. Otherwise, there will be more than one person in Tianjiazhuang today!"
"Damn it, I hate you who didn't kill you just now."
A young man with a ferocious expression and a red neck, who was pulled by many men in Tianjiazhuang shouted, "Give me back my wife, let go, let go, let go." The young man struggled, but he couldn't break free from a group of strong men.
On the snow in front of Tianjiazhuang, the Tianjiazhuang tribesmen and the army were confronting each other, and there were still a lot of blood on the snow.
Teng Qingshan, who was next to him, also guessed...
It should have been dead just now.
"Being stubborn, the first team, go and capture him. Anyone who blocks will be killed without mercy!" The army leader sat high on the unicorn battle bar and ordered. The troops in Tianjiazhuang were shocked, "A Beast!" The farm girl named "A Xiu" shouted shrillly. She had seen Teng Beast practicing boxing.
At this moment, I can only rely on Teng Beast.
"A beast, take him down." Teng Qingshan pointed at the army leader.
Whoosh!
The Teng Beast turned into a afterimage and instantly passed through more than ten feet of distance. The army leader was shocked and immediately wanted to slash at the Teng Beast.
"Peng!" Teng Beast first punched the army leader in the abdomen, causing him to vomit blood, and then turned around a few steps to Teng Qingshan, threw it away, and threw the army leader to the ground.
"Swish!" A sharp roar rose into the sky, "Boom!" flew into the air and exploded suddenly.
The army leader was on the ground, hunched over, and bloodshot at the corner of his mouth.
"You, dare you--" the army leader was red.
"Are you recruiting people?" Teng Qingshan looked up at the explosion of red powder, with a smile on his face, and looked down at the army leader below, "Little guy, you are the captain of the 100-man team, so be more tactful. Issuing an order to let your subordinates go of all women, otherwise... you will die soon!"
Teng Qingshan said calmly, but the leader of the Hundred People gritted his teeth and shouted at the soldiers: "Let go, let go of those smelly women."
"A beast, stomp." Teng Qingshan said.
"Ba!" "Ba!"
Teng Beast slapped twice, and the leader was covered in blood and his teeth fell off. The soldiers all had anger on their faces, but they still suppressed their anger and let go of all the women. In their eyes... these women were obviously not as good as their captain.
A group of young women ran towards their own ethnic group one by one.
"mother."
"Brother!" These women were hugging their children or hugging their men. Their parents all had tears on their faces. However, many people in Tianjiazhuang had sad faces. They knew very well that the two strong men riding the Red Wind Battle Bird in front of them would even be able to repel these soldiers.
Once they can, they will be even more miserable.
"Two sirs." The patriarch of the Tianjiazhuang knelt down and burst into tears. "I beg you, don't worry about this matter. We are already very grateful to you, please."
Teng Beast had a blue face.
Teng Qingshan looked south from afar and smiled: "Tsk tsk, it seems that there are many people coming."
Da! Da! Da! Da!
The sound of beast hooves that even caused the earth to tremble came. On the road ahead, groups of knights rushed towards him one after another, like a torrent of black steel. In just a moment, the open space in front of Tianjiazhuang was completely filled with the open space, and many knights rode camel beasts on the road.
Neatly arranged, teams lined up.
"General!" Many soldiers saluted respectfully.
A cold man wearing black heavy armor, riding on a battle bare-covered battle bar, also wearing iron armor, looked at the two Teng Qingshan in front of him from a distance.
"Two, please let me go." The cold man said.
Teng Qingshan waved his hand: "Abun, let him go." Teng Bun immediately kicked the captain of the Hundred People Team. The captain immediately fell on the snow, and got up and rushed to his own army. He saluted respectfully to the general on the armored war bar: "General, we collect taxes and pay those women to tax. These two people came out to stop them, and forced us to let go of the women just now."
The general nodded.
"Who are the two?" the general said, "Why do you care about this other people's business?"
"Friend." Teng Qingshan said, and smiled and pointed at the girl named "A Xiu", "This child's friend."
Next to the general, there was a handsome young man wearing heavy armor. The young man whispered to the general: "Dad, these two people are riding on the Red Wind Battle Bar, and they are not afraid of us. Maybe they are some powerful people. It's better to ask clearly. It's not a good thing to cause a lot of trouble after all."
The general nodded.
His son is very smart and has solved many problems for him.
"Two, we collect taxes, and it is natural for them to pay taxes. Please leave, please leave." The general said with a smile. Obviously, it is not difficult for Teng Qingshan and the other two to be friendly in his opinion.
Then, the general turned his head and looked at the people in Tianjiazhuang, shouting coldly: "For the time limit, you will hand over all the women just now, otherwise... men and women will be taken away as slaves!" As soon as these words came out, the entire Tianjiazhuang clan members were completely frightened.
Become a slave? That's all.
"Which family do you belong to?" A hint of anger appeared on Teng Qingshan's face, "Is it from the Wang family, the Murong family, or the Li family?" There are only these three major families around Nanshan City.
The general was suffocated by Teng Qingshan's question.
The Wang family, Murong family, Li family? Teng Qingshan's tone really scared the general.
"Is there a limit to the time for tea?" Teng Qingshan's cold eyes swept over the general and the group of people, "I will only limit to your time for tea, and all of them will disappear. Otherwise... all officers will be ready to be slaves." The general was arrogant and could arbitrarily judge the fate of the people in Tianjiazhuang.
But in a moment, it turned around.
"You, you..." The general's face surged with anger.
"By the way back, I will tell you the head of the family that from now on, don't disturb the villages around Shenfu Mountain. Just say, I, Teng Qingshan, said this!" Teng Qingshan said coldly.
The vast army was completely quiet, and many tribesmen in Tianjiazhuang also stared at this scene in a daze.
"Who is Teng Qingshan?" The people of the Tianjiazhuang tribe had no idea.
"Who is Teng Qingshan?"
Those ordinary soldiers didn't know either.
