Chapter 415
“Little brother, don’t scare us. I will immediately report to the City Lord. I hope you are not joking. You will lose your head if you make fun of the City Lord!
Third Brother, you wait here with this little brother. I will go in and report to the City Lord! ”
The two guards looked at each other and decided that it was necessary to go in and report to the City Lord. The older guard said something to Little Eight seriously and then hinted to the other guard. Then, he strode into the City Lord Mansion.
“Hu!”
Little Eight saw that he had finally convinced the guard and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. However, he immediately became nervous because this delay had wasted the time of half an incense stick. If the City Lord did not see him immediately and asked him to wait for half an hour, then … he would really be screwed!
What he was worried about happened. After waiting for half an incense stick of time, he still did not see the guard come out. Little Eight was burning with anxiety and wanted to shout to the City Lord directly.
High and mighty!
Foolishly arrogant!
This was what Little Eight wanted to say to the City Lord and many big figures in the city at this time, but he did not dare because his status was low. He was only a low-level soldier in the city gate guard.
Little Eight was a poor martial artist. He was in his early thirties, and his cultivation was only at the first level of the White Tiger Realm. It wasn’t easy for him to find a position as a guard and earn a salary that could barely support his family. However, he was fed up with the arrogance of those big and small families’ young masters and ladies. Even so, he didn’t dare to voice his anger. In this world where the strong ruled, those without strength and status could only be obedient and humble people.
Little Eight was very envious of Xiao Chen. If he could be like Xiao Chen and be hunted by the powerful Xie Family and the entire Full Moon Tribe’s martial artists, he would have no regrets even if he died. As a martial artist, wasn’t it necessary to have a spectacular achievement?
To be able to have a sky-high bounty on the head of the entire Full Moon Tribe was a great honor and success in itself.
In a blink of an eye, half an incense stick of time had passed. The guard who went in to report finally came out and said with a stinky face, “Brother, I was scolded by the Commander when I went in. I only came out now. The City Lord is still in a meeting. I didn’t have the chance to see him at all. I could only beg the Commander to report, but … Alas, don’t mention it!”
“What?
You mean that the City Lord doesn’t know that there’s a powerful bandit outside the city gate?
We’re done for. We’re all done for. Let’s get ready to run for our lives … ”
Xiao Ba saw his big brother’s bitter face at the door and knew that things were not going well. Indeed, even a report did not go smoothly. Thinking that Xiao Chen was about to attack the city, he was so scared that his legs turned to jelly. He was very smart and had already guessed that the yellow dog beside Xiao Chen was definitely not simple. It was definitely a powerful dire beast. If it was just an ordinary dog, why would the famous Xiao Chen call a dog brother?
When the two guards saw that Little Eight’s face was pale and his legs were trembling, they couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Brother, is the bandit outside really so scary?
You’re really that scared. ”
“Because, because he … he is Xiao Chen.”
At the moment of life and death, Xiao Ba couldn’t care so much anymore. He finally said that the robber outside the city gate was actually a big shot that their Lord Castellan was holding a meeting on how to arrest — — Xiao Chen.
“Plop!”
After saying what was in his heart, Xiao Ba suddenly felt his whole body collapsing, as if he didn’t have any strength left. He fell on his butt, looking dispirited and powerless.
“What?
Xiao Chen! ”
The guard with the bitter face didn’t react at first. Then, his expression suddenly changed and he roared. He took a few steps forward and reached out to grab Xiao Ba’s clothes. He lifted Xiao Ba up and glared at Xiao Ba. He asked fiercely, “Bastard, why didn’t you say so earlier?
Or are you playing with us?
Aren’t you afraid of losing your head?
Hmm? ”
“Big Brother, it’s not that I don’t want to say it. Xiao Chen ordered me not to because seven of our brothers are under his control. He wants me to come in and report to the Lord Castellan that he is the Ghost-Faced Bandit and that he is here to rob us. He only gave us an hour, and in an hour, he will kill his way in. At this moment, I have no choice but to say it. Sigh!”
Xiao Ba’s heart was filled with fear. He was afraid that the guard would kill him, so he said everything he knew. If he didn’t say that the guard wouldn’t kill him, all the families in the city would tear him into pieces.
“Come with me to see the Lord Castellan!
I hope you are not lying, otherwise we will all die!
Go! ”
The guard who grabbed Xiao Ba shouted coldly with a murderous aura. He directly dragged the poor Xiao Ba into the Castellan’s Mansion. His face was incomparably solemn and anxious. He believed that Xiao Ba wouldn’t have the guts to make a joke out of Xiao Chen. If that was the case … Xiao Chen really appeared.
“Bang!” “Bang!”
After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, two figures flew out from the window of the Castellan’s Mansion. After flying for three zhang, they heavily fell to the ground. Their bodies were covered in blood, and their chests were caved in. They were motionless, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
These two people were Xiao Ba and the guard. They didn’t expect that they would end up so tragically. Obviously, after hearing their report, the big shots in the Conference Hall were furious. They blamed them for being late in reporting the important matter, and in a rage, they were directly sent flying out of the window.
The lives of insignificant people were so worthless. If they made a mistake or didn’t do a good job, they would become the target of the big shots’ anger. Xiao Ba and the guard were the best examples.
“All the family heads!
Come with me to meet the arrogant man nicknamed the Ghost Face Bandit outside the city. Let’s see if he is the famous Xiao Chen who was killed by Lord Xie!
Go! ”
The next second after Xiao Ba and the guard flew out of the window, an old man’s voice burst out from the Conference Hall of the Castellan’s Mansion. After a while, a tall and strong old man in his fifties strode out of the Conference Hall. Five middle-aged men followed closely behind him. They were the family heads of the five big families in the city, except for Mayor Li’s family.
All six of them were dressed in luxurious clothes, and they looked extraordinary. However, their faces were extremely serious. Obviously, they heard that Xiao Chen dared to stand outside the city gate and called himself the Ghost Face Bandit to rob all the big and small families in the city. This was too strange, or too ridiculous.
Of course, the six family heads weren’t going to give the purple gold tickets to Xiao Chen. They just wanted to confirm if the person outside the city was Xiao Chen, who was wanted by the Xie family. If it was Xiao Chen, this matter could be big or small.
If Xiao Chen was an idiot, then there was nothing to be afraid of when he showed up outside the city gate. However, if Xiao Chen was a smart person, then he would have to have something to rely on, something that would allow him to challenge and threaten the entire city.
From the understanding of the six family heads about Xiao Chen, the possibility of the latter was very high. This was the only way to explain why Xiao Chen dared to rob the city so arrogantly. This was also the reason why the six family heads looked serious.
The one who came did not come with good intentions!
Xiao Chen’s attack surprised the six big families in the city, and it disrupted their search plan. They had already sent out half of their warriors to search for Xiao Chen. Now, there were less than half of the warriors in the city. If it was Xiao Chen outside the city, then Xiao Chen must have come prepared.
Killing the chicken to warn the monkey!
Could it be that Xiao Chen wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkey? If that was the case, the city was in danger!
