Chapter 173 A promise worth a thousand pieces of gold

Broken Realm.
A group of knights slowly passed through the small valley between the two hills.
In the center of the team, a man who looked to be in his thirties and had a short beard sat upright on a horse, scanning the hills on both sides, with a faint flash of sword light deep in his eyes.
A young knight next to him took out a hand towel and wiped his face, complaining: "Why is this damn place so wet! Brother, do we really not notify Ning Xi of the separation?"
The short-bearded man said: "Why inform them? Those losers only know how to drink, sing and dance. What, you want to give it a try?"
The young man said lazily: "What good stuff can be found here? I'm not interested. When we win this battle and return to the pass, what kind of women will we need?"
"That's pretty much it."
The short-bearded man took out the map, looked at it, and ordered a knight: "Inform General Zhang behind him and ask him to take his auxiliary troops to build a camp a hundred miles north of here, where the two rivers meet and it is very easy to spot.
.That will be our base camp for this operation, let him build it more carefully."
The knight accepted the order, left the cavalry, and galloped towards the rear.
At this time, the forward of the cavalry had already left the valley. It suddenly stopped and then flew to report to the Chinese army that there were people in front of them blocking the road and robbing them.
The short-bearded man and the young man were both stunned. They didn't expect that they would be robbed by their colleagues on the second day of their horse bandit career. It is difficult for horse bandits in the Western Regions to survive. Has it reached this point?
The two rode their horses to the front army, and saw hundreds of horse bandits in the open space in front of them, all of them grinning and looking fierce, and some even had several heads hanging from their waists.
In the middle of the horse bandits, a fat man with a sinister face shouted: "Listen to the people on the other side! We are the number one horse bandit group in the Western Region! If you are wise, hand over your property quickly. Your grandfather and I may be merciful.
Spare your lives. Otherwise, I...I will..."
Seeing more and more knights pouring out of the valley, the fat man's voice became softer and softer.
Moreover, the knights on the opposite side are not only numerous in number, but they are also black horses. They are also covered in dark green cavalry armor. Each of them is silent and full of murderous intent. On the other hand, not only are the number of knights on our side far inferior, but their formations and armors are also scattered.
Various and quite individual.
The short-bearded man said to the young man: "Take fifty cavalry and test their quality."
The young man looked bored and casually ordered fifty riders to kill them.
After a while, the young man came back with the fat man in his arms and threw him in front of the short-bearded man's horse. The fifty horsemen went out and came back, only two of them were slightly injured. However, the corpses of several hundred horse bandits were scattered all over the ground, and only a few dozen people were left.
He was able to escape quickly when he saw the opportunity.
The main reason why this battle took so long was that the horse bandits broke up as soon as they charged and fled in all directions, so it took some time to catch them up.
The fat man kowtowed and begged for mercy. The short-bearded man asked a few questions and then nodded to the young man.
The young man pulled out a short knife and put it on the fat man's neck, and said: "Remember, my eldest brother is Xu Xinhui, and I am Wang Ziyan. When you get there, reincarnate as soon as possible, and don't forget to come to us for revenge."
After that, he slit the fat man's throat with a single stroke.
Wang Ziyan got on his horse and said: "Is this the famous horse bandit from the Western Regions in Ningzhou? He is so inexperienced! This guy didn't even catch my sword."
"This guy is a ground-level killer, and he has cultivated to the later stage, which is actually quite good. I just asked if there are seven or eight horse bandits like him in the Western Region, and everyone says that he is the number one horse bandit.
Bandit, haha."
Wang Ziyan said: "Brother, why don't those old guys above let us defeat them in the realm?"
The short-bearded man shook his head and said: "This realm is not easy to fight. I heard that there are several monks from Taichu Palace in it."
Wang Ziyan snorted: "What's so great about Taichu Palace? It boasts that it is the leader of the Immortal Sect every day. How is our Sword Palace inferior to them? Even if they have more people, brother, you are the seventh Immortal Sword, and I am also the foundation of the Immortal Sect. We
There's no problem if two people beat a dozen Taichu palaces.
Even if there are immortal bases on the opposite side, our thousand cavalry and dragon fish army will not fall behind in the drill. They are at the level of the nine armies of Dadang. Those people in the realm are just a mob. We stopped the monks from Taichu Palace, and our brothers
If we can eradicate the realm, then only those from Taichu Palace will be left, how can they still play!"
Xu Xinhui said: "Don't be careless. I heard there are several geniuses on the other side."
Wang Ziyan laughed and said: "Genius? Who of us was not a genius back then? Now we are all out to do things, what is the use of genius? The record speaks for itself!"
The short-bearded man smiled slightly and said nothing.
——
There is a mine at the foot of a hill in the Broken Realm. The mine is quite large, with almost half of the hill dug out. Several mine tunnels are bottomless, and the shacks where the miners live occupy a large area.
.
At the gate of the mine, the Xu family's flag fluttered in the wind.
At this time, the sky was just getting bright, and the bells were ringing. The miners, all naked, had already finished their breakfast and were filing towards the mine. If they hesitated for a moment, they would be whipped by the supervisor. They had to work in the mine all day and could not come out until sunset.
.
There are guards armed with knives and armor everywhere around the mine. More than a dozen watchtowers are built on high places, giving a clear view of the surrounding area. There are sharp archers in each tower, and no arrows are fired within two hundred feet. The miners want to escape.
It would be a narrow escape from death. The mine was very busy at the moment, and a new batch of miners had just been brought in.
However, there were so many people sent today that the mine owner frowned and repeatedly checked with the leader of the convoy to see if there was a mistake.
The commander didn't know what to ask, and just said: "Eldest Young Master, no, this is the number of people the master of the family has given me. The order is for me to send them to you, and there is no other place. Now I have sent them to the ground.
Whether you can accept it or not is your business, I have no control over it!"
The owner of the mine said with a grimace: "I can hold up to three thousand people here, but you can send me five thousand, how can I take it! The previous miners haven't died yet, how can there be room for these people to live?"
? Besides, when there are too many people, things can easily go wrong. I only have a hundred guards here, how can I handle seven or eight thousand people?"
The commander thought about it and thought it made sense, so he said, "Then I will give you a hundred guards to guard you for a period of time. You can quickly talk to the owner of the house and call in more guards."
The boss was overjoyed and was about to say thank you when suddenly the alarm went off!
The chief and the commander were shocked when they saw dozens of knights running towards the end of the road in the distance like wind and fire. Although the number was not large, their momentum was so high that they actually ran like thousands of troops!
This group of knights came very quickly and rushed to the mine in the blink of an eye.
They all wore masks and cloaks, and rode first-class horses. The leader rode a gray, white, and red horse. Although the coat color was a bit mixed, it was exceptionally tall and majestic. But these people's cloaks were all different.
It's a bit shabby and obviously hasn't been doing well.
The leading knight immediately raised his gun and shouted loudly: "Listen up! Grandpas are the number one horse bandits in the Western Region, the Zhantian Gang! We are here today just to ask for money, not to harm our lives. You who are wise enough to put down your weapons obediently,
Otherwise, swords and guns have no eyesight, and Taoist master’s hands are heavy, and if you get hurt, you can only blame yourselves for your misfortune!"
The commander sneered, strode forward, and shouted: "What kind of thieves are you? You are so impatient that you dare to take advantage of my Xu family's mine! You also boast that you are the number one horse bandit in the Western Regions. I will take your head back, sir."
Receive the reward!”
After the commander finished speaking harshly, he strode forward. As soon as he raised the sword above his head, his vision blurred, and a gunshot passed through his chest!
"As slow as a turtle crawling." The knight cursed disdainfully, raised his hand to lift the commander in the air with his spear, and said loudly: "Whoever dares to resist again, this man is an example!"
The commander was also a monk in the middle stage of Daoji, but he had no power to fight back and was stabbed to death with a single shot. The guards immediately knew that these horse bandits were fierce and beyond their ability to resist, so they all knelt down to save him.
.
The Zhantian Gang kept their word and did not harm anyone. Then the fifty thieves dismounted and started working together, skinning the guards like naked pigs and tying them up one by one and loading them into the car.
Some of the guards felt bad, but the 51st Thief was watching from the horse, and the leader on the spear had not yet cooled down, so no one dared to resist, and he was stripped clean and loaded into the car.
The Zhantian bandits called all the miners out and the workers in the mines back. They asked them to pack their things, then haul in all the carefully selected rare ores, and then headed north in a mighty way.
.
The miners in the mine are all slaves, and dozens of them die every day, so they have to replenish them from time to time. They are used to being submissive, and they know that the horse bandits are extremely vicious and have always killed people without blinking an eye, so they are all very docile.
The leader of the horse bandits also said that they would not kill them or sacrifice them, but would just let them work in another place. When they arrived at the new place, they would be given at least a large bowl of rice every day.
All the miners were so happy to hear that they could have one more bowl of food, they couldn't wait to fly to a new place.
The team of several thousand people walked naturally slowly, and it took them seven or eight days to reach their destination. This is the edge of the Qingming Realm. These people have never seen what the realm is like. At this moment, they can see the bright mountains and rivers in the distance, one by one.
They were all dumbfounded.
At this time, a group of monks rushed out of the realm. There were hundreds of them, all of them were well-dressed and had extraordinary cultivation.
The first monk rode out on horseback with an extraordinary momentum. He raised his hands and said, "I am Cui Yu, the current commander of the Yong'an City Guards. Is this the number one rebel in the Western Regions, the Fifty Thieves of War?"
The leading knight rode his horse and raised his spear, making a sound that shocked everyone: "Exactly! The goods have been brought, where is the fairy silver?"
"It has been prepared for a long time!" Cui Yu waved his hand, and several knights carried three large boxes out and opened them in front of everyone. Immediately, the fairy light was dazzling, and they were full of fairy silver!
"Hahahaha!" The leading knight looked up to the sky and smiled. He laughed for a long time, fully displaying his powerful power, and said: "I have heard for a long time that in the Qingming Realm, the most honest thing to do when doing business is to be honest! When I saw it today, it is indeed well-deserved!"
Cui Yu said with a smile: "It's easy to say, easy to say. This transaction was very pleasant. I hope that next time you guys from Zhantian come back, we can do a deal of five boxes."
The knight said solemnly: "Seven boxes!"
Cui Yu gave a long laugh and said: "Then Cui will just wait for the good news."
The two have completely different styles. The knight is very domineering, but Cui Yu is quite gentle and polite. But their voices are spread far away, and it is obvious that their Taoist cultivation is extremely high, and Cui Yu is not inferior at all.
The knight asked again: "I wonder what business you do besides these people?"
Cui Yu said: "We collect minerals, fairy materials, food, and medicines. But the main thing is to collect people."
The knight did not hesitate, said hello, and took the fifty thieves away like the wind.
A team of several thousand people came all the way, naturally provoking countless spies from various forces. At this moment, countless pairs of eyes in the darkness were looking at this place, they all listened to the words of the two men, and then quietly disappeared.
Chapter completed!
