I Became A Mighty Lion

Chapter 559 Southern Tang Kingdom

The originally quiet street was now noisy.

Because this town is quite prosperous and trade from all over the world passes through it, the Southern Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to it and stationed 20,000 troops here.

After receiving the news at this time, the general stationed outside the town immediately ordered his captain to rush over with two hundred soldiers.

Patrolling soldiers were killed, which was enough to alert the army.

Other patrol soldiers in the town also came after hearing the news.

But at this time, Chu Xiaoye had already picked up Catherine and Duoya, and led the girls on horseback to rush out of the siege and rush out of the town.

The way in was blocked, and there were pursuers coming from other directions.

Chu Xiaoye made a decisive decision and immediately gave up the original direction and rushed towards the territory of the Southern Tang Empire.

Riding on the back of a war horse, through the dark night, he could clearly see whether there were soldiers intercepting him in front of him. The other party was completely unprepared. Even if he had just received the news, he had no time to react.

Soon, they rushed out of the town and continued running towards the unfamiliar plains.

The torch swayed behind him, and there were still pursuers chasing him.

The captain mounted his war horse and led the soldiers to continue the chase.

Chu Xiaoye didn't dare to stop and ran all the way with the girls.

Fortunately, the horses given to them by Fatty were all of the highest quality, and had undergone mutation. Their physiques were extraordinary, and they were still full of energy even now.

At this time, the three unconscious Willis finally woke up from the jolt.

Lan Nixi told them what happened intermittently.

Willis jumped on her horse and said angrily: "I want to kill those bastards!"

Chu Xiaoye turned around and said, "If you want to commit suicide and kill us all, just go ahead."

Willis blushed and said, "I'm just telling you, shut up!"

Thinking of how she was almost kidnapped and sold to a brothel, she felt uncomfortable all over. The anger in her heart did not get out, so she suddenly slapped the horse's butt and shouted: "Drive!"

Then he ran ahead.

When Duoya heard the process of being kidnapped and rescued, her face turned pale and she said to Chu Xiaoye: "Master Ye, thank you, if it weren't for you..."

"Without me, you would still be the eldest lady in Binluo City."

Before she could finish speaking, Chu Xiaoye turned around and smiled.

Duoya was moved, but didn't know how to express it, so she could only smile.

The pursuers behind him could no longer be seen, but the danger was not eliminated.

After daybreak, they slowed down and moved on.

This is a valley with blooming flowers and green grass.

The horse was thirsty and tired after running all night, so it was eating grass and walking forward.

After crossing the valley, they came to a main road.

Because they had deviated from the original road before, no one knew where this road was leading, so they could only walk forward in the established direction.

Not long after, Catherine, who was walking in front to explore the path, suddenly stopped and jumped up to the big tree next to her with a "swish" sound. She squinted her eyes and looked ahead, and her tail began to shake.

"There is someone in front of you, please be careful!"

Chu Xiaoye immediately dismounted and told Lannixi and others to wait here while he and Catherine stepped forward to investigate.

Lan Nixi glanced at Denise next to her, and Denise immediately followed her.

If someone is discovered, and there aren't many of them, Denise's arrows can make them afraid to pursue.

Chu Xiaoye soon saw a group of tall men holding machetes.

These people are all relatively tall, with bare chests and backs, and ferocious faces.

At this time, they were hiding furtively on both sides of the road, and in the middle of the road, there was a big tree falling down.

Obviously, this was a group of robbers preparing to rob someone on the road.

While Chu Xiaoye was carefully counting the number of people on the other side, there was a sudden sound of horse hoofbeats behind him, and it was not the sound made by Lan Nixi and others.

"There are people behind you too!"

He immediately returned with Catherine and Denise, preparing to take Lan Nixi and several abandoned horses and run into the nearby woods to take shelter.

But it was too late.

A group of men in uniform dark blue uniforms, driving several carriages, came from behind.

Among them, walking in the front were three strong men riding tall horses.

Chu Xiaoye looked at the carriages, each with a flag flying in the wind and the four characters "Longwei Escort" written on it.

At this time, he finally understood.

This is a team of darts, and those in ambush on both sides of the road in front probably have already received the news, so they are ambushing here early, preparing to rob the darts.

Thinking of this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the horse, gave a few girls a look, and moved to the side of the road.

"Who's in front of you?"

The escorts are very vigilant and will immediately stop and ask if someone appears on the road.

One of the middle-aged men riding a horse walked over, holding a knife at his waist. He looked at Chu Xiaoye and others with majestic eyes. He felt relieved when he saw that there was only one boy and the others were young girls. , said: "Are you in a hurry?"

Chu Xiaoye nodded and said, "Yes, the horse is a little tired, so let's rest on the side of the road for a while."

The middle-aged man nodded, waved to the back and said: "A few young people who are on their way, it's okay, let's go."

Chu Xiaoye took a closer look at the team behind him. There were more than thirty people in total. All of them were big men with simple swords hanging on their waists. They all seemed to be martial arts practitioners. However, among the four carriages, he did not know who was carrying them. what.

He had just roughly counted the gangsters in front, there were about fifty people, and they all seemed to be ruthless guys who were not afraid of death.

It is estimated that if a fight breaks out soon, this escort team will most likely be wiped out.

When Chu Xiaoye was hesitating whether to remind them or not, when the first carriage passed by them, the curtain of the window suddenly opened, and a little girl stuck her head out, looked at them with big dark eyes, and then got excited Said: "Sister! Sister! They are elves! They are elves!"

A girl's face was also exposed through the window. She stared at them curiously for a few times, nodded slightly as a greeting, then hugged the little girl in and whispered: "Little girl, Be good, don’t do this, it’s very rude.”

The little girl said anxiously: "Sister, I want to see more! I want to see more! There are so many beautiful elf sisters!"

In the second carriage, a man coughed suddenly, and then a woman's voice sounded: "Master, when we go back this time, we will never go to the border again. You are not in good health, no matter how much you earn, There’s so much money to spend. Besides, Li’er and Xiaoguai don’t like the life there. It’s time for Xiaoguai to enter the school.”

The man sighed and said: "Since I have brought everything with me, I naturally don't plan to come back again. There are more and more merchants here, and it's really difficult to do business. Let's go back to our Suzhou and Hangzhou."

The woman smiled and said, "That's best."

When the second carriage passed by Chu Xiaoye, Chu Xiaoye finally couldn't help but said: "There is an ambush ahead!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire team stopped immediately.

"Little brother, you just said there was an ambush ahead?"

A man guarding the carriage asked quickly.

The three men walking in front also quickly reined in their horses and looked back.

Chu Xiaoye nodded and said: "We just heard the sound, so I went to look ahead alone and found a big tree in the middle of the road. A group of people ran towards the woods on both sides and hid in the ditches on both sides. If my guess is correct, they should be highway robbery gangsters."

"Gangster?"

Everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

"Brother, are they Liu Scarzi and the others? Haven't we already said hello to them? Do they dare to stop my escorts from Longwei Escort Agency?"

"It doesn't have to be them, it could be someone else."

"How do they know about this escort trip? Is there a traitor in our escort agency?"

"Who doesn't know that we are leaving the city in a big way? It doesn't necessarily have to be a letter from a traitor. If it is a robber, there will naturally be their people in the city, keeping an eye on the carriage leaving the city at all times."

"You guys stand here to protect the carriage for now. My second and third sons and I will go over and have a look. If we know each other, I'll give you some hard-earned money."

The three men walking in the front discussed it for a while and immediately rode over.

Soon, they saw the big tree blocking the middle of the road.

At this time, they had confirmed what the elf boy said.

Highwaymen usually place a tree across the middle of the road so that when they stop and move the tree, they will attack suddenly and prevent them from escaping forward.

"Which brother is planning to take advantage of my Longwei Escort Agency? Please come out and meet me?"

The strong man on the horse did not dare to go any further and immediately shouted loudly.

However, there was no response from the woods on both sides of the road.

"Brothers, there is no need to hide your heads and tail, we have already seen you! I, the Longwei Escort Agency, have never offended anyone. I, Long Yaotian, know all the brothers who hang out here and have already said hello to them. Excuse me, you guys Which road is it on?"

The strong man said loudly again.

At this time, the gangsters already knew that they were exposed, so they roared and rushed out of the ditch in the woods on both sides.

One of them, a bald man with a scar on his head, shouted loudly: "Long Yaotian! Leave the jewelry on the carriage and the two rich ladies, and grandpa can spare your life!"

"Niu Kui! It's you! You robbed my Longwei Escort Agency, did you ever tell your boss?"

Long Yaotian saw the person coming clearly and was suddenly shocked and angry.

The bald man named Niu Kui stopped talking and immediately rushed up with his men with murderous intent.

"Walk!"

Long Yaotian immediately turned the horse's head and fled back with his two brothers. He shouted to his men guarding the carriage: "Everyone, kill these bandits!"

The men in the escort agency have all gone through various life and death tests. They immediately pulled out their knives and were serious about it.

The little girl who was clamoring to see the elf in the carriage was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word.

"Kill--"

The bald man and more than fifty gangsters rushed over with a roar.

"Ye, what should we do?"

Lan Nixi and several girls all looked at Chu Xiaoye.

Chu Xiaoye directly pulled out the sword from his waist and said: "What else can I do? I must go up. Didn't you hear the scoldings of those gangsters? They not only want jewelry, but also rich ladies. You guys are better than those two Rich girls are much more attractive. If the gangsters win, they will never let you go."

"call out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Denise's arrow had already shot out, hitting the bald gangster named Niu Kui right in the face!

Before the gangster leader could react, he fell to the ground with a "bang", rolled a few times, and died.

The other gangsters did not retreat, but still charged forward with roars.

Denise's arrow shot out quickly again.

Mayfair also began to aim and shoot.

Chu Xiaoye held the sword and rushed forward with Lan Nixi and Wei Lisi.

Willis's whirling storm was already hungry and thirsty. In order to vent her anger about last night's incident, she turned on her full power and began to kill.

The samurai in the escort agency are also good players.

Soon, of the more than fifty gangsters, only a dozen were left.

Seeing that their defeat was certain, the dozen gangsters did not dare to stay any longer, turned around and fled towards the nearby woods.

"Catherine! Denise! Mayfair! Leave no one behind!"

Chu Xiaoye ordered.

"Whoosh!"

Catherine flew up like lightning.

Denise and Faile chased forward while quickly pulling strings and shooting arrows.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In the blink of an eye, the remaining dozen gangsters all fell to the ground. Catherine killed three, and the rest were all shot to death by Denise and Mayfair's arrows.

Denise alone, plus those who had been shot before, there were at least twenty people.

This tall and charming silver-haired girl was really superb with a bow and arrow, which made Chu Xiaoye sincerely admire her.

The reason why Chu Xiaoye wanted to kill all the gangsters was that on the one hand he was afraid that the other party would continue to bring people to harass them, and on the other hand he was afraid that the other party would collude with the officers and soldiers.

At this time, what they were doing in that small town had probably been spread out, and it would be terrible if officers and soldiers discovered it.

"Thank you for your generous help! I don't know where they are going. We can go with you all the way. We will cover all the food and accommodation expenses along the way. This can be regarded as a thank you to you."

The man named Long Yaotian came over and said with gratitude and respect.

He had just experienced what it means that there are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world. Not to mention the miraculous archery skills of the two elf girls, only the underage girl wielding a giant sword. When the giant sword was swung, it was simply awesome. It can be said to be terrifying, but it can be said that people who stand in the way kill people, and Buddhas who stand in the way kill Buddha. None of the gangsters can take the next move.

In his opinion, these young elves are all experts in this world.

With them, this journey will definitely be much safer, and it will be worth wasting some money.

"Do you know where to get closer to the Rakshasa Kingdom?"

Chu Xiaoye decided to ask for directions first.

"Rakshasa Kingdom?"

When Long Yaotian heard this, he immediately said: "Everyone who wants to go to Rakshasa Kingdom must have gone the wrong way. You must return immediately and go from Baiyang Town. There is a road there that can lead directly to the border of Rakshasa Kingdom. If we continue to move forward, we will only go further and further away.”

Chu Xiaoye knew in her heart that the Baiyang Town she was talking about must be the town they escaped from before, and they could never go back there.

They killed so many soldiers, wouldn't they just throw themselves into a trap when they go back?

"Is there any other way? We are not in a hurry to go to Rakshasa Kingdom now. We still want to wander around in Southern Tang Dynasty. I wonder if there is still a way to Rakshasa Kingdom if we keep going forward?"

Chu Xiaoye's face didn't show any strange color and acted very naturally.

"this……"

Long Yaotian frowned, thought carefully, and said: "There are several roads from our Southern Tang Dynasty to the Rakshasa Kingdom, but they are all too far. The nearest one..."

At this moment, the curtain of the second carriage suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man wearing fine silks and satins walked down, bowed his hands to Chu Xiaoye, and said, "Thank you so much for your help just now. Help. I was on the carriage just now and heard this young righteous man say that he was going to the Rakshasa Kingdom, right?"

Chu Xiaoye's heart moved and she quickly said: "Yes, but we still have to visit Southern Tang. We will definitely not go back to Baiyang Town."

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "That's good. Let the few righteous men follow us to Suhang. Not only is the scenery there beautiful, it is also the most prosperous place in the Southern Tang Dynasty. When the time comes, I can do my part as a landlord and accompany these righteous men everywhere. Take a walk. There is a port east of Suzhou and Hangzhou. There are many cargo ships stopping there. Most of them go to other countries at sea, and some go to Rakshasa Country. From there, you can take a boat to Rakshasa Country very quickly. , it won’t take more than five days at most. I happen to have a few friends there, and one of them specializes in Rakshasa country business. I can let them take you for a ride when the time comes."

By boat? Going to sea?

Chu Xiaoye felt happy and said quickly: "Thank you very much."

If you can follow those merchants to the Rakshasa Kingdom by boat, you will definitely save a lot of trouble along the way, and you no longer have to worry about being eaten, slept, and rushed. It is definitely much more cost-effective than traveling like this.

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I, Qin Zhitan, in the car are my wife, Luo Shi, and my two daughters. When I return to Suzhou and Hangzhou this time, I will definitely thank the righteous people."

Chu Xiaoye said quickly: "My surname is Chu. There is no need to call me a righteous person. They are my friends. Just call them girls. You're welcome. When we go to the Rakshasa Kingdom, we will have to trouble Uncle Qin."

Hearing this "Uncle Qin", the middle-aged man laughed loudly and immediately became closer, saying: "Okay, okay! This is not the place to talk, let's go on our way first. Why don't Mr. Chu and everyone sit down?" Get on the horse and we can have a nice chat.”

Chu Xiaoye quickly declined: "We don't like riding in carriages first, so we feel more comfortable riding horses."

He didn't want to chat with anyone. With someone he had just met, it was natural to talk as little as possible, so as not to accidentally get tricked.

They were criminals who had killed Southern Tang soldiers.

When Qin Zhitan saw what he said, he couldn't force himself anymore. He exchanged some pleasantries before getting into the carriage.

The little girl also stuck her head out of the car window, looked at Chu Xiaoye and said, "Brother Chu, are you an elf? I heard that you elves can fly and don't need to eat every day, right?"

Chu Xiaoye rode a war horse and teased her with a smile: "Yes, we can fly. We don't need to eat. When we are hungry, we can just catch a few disobedient children and eat them."

The little girl opened her eyes wide and was stunned for a moment. Fang stroked her chest and said, "Fortunately, little darling is obedient. Little darling is not a child anymore."

The girl's laughter came from the carriage.

Then the little girl was carried back.

"My dear, be obedient and don't stick your head out again, or you may be eaten by the elf brother."

After the girl finished speaking with a smile, she picked up a book from the side and continued reading.

The little girl felt so bored. She pouted and said, "Sister, don't read any more. Children are reading poems. Talk to Xiaoguai. Will the elf brother outside really eat a disobedient child?"

The girl put down the book, looked at her with a smile and said, "What do you think?".

The little girl tilted her head, thought for a while, and then said, "I don't know either. Brother Elf and Sister Elf just killed a lot of bad guys. They should be good people. Good people don't eat children."

The girl smiled and stroked her little head, her eyes flashed, but she didn't answer.
