Chapter 34 [Countermeasures]
Luo Xiao, Cheng Feifeng and Lao Feiyan settled the carriages and horses, registered the weapons and handed them over to a regiment to a training team. Each of them received a license plate. When they left, they could use this license plate to get the weapons back.
Lao Feiyan looked at the license plate in her hand and said dissatisfied: "Why should we hand over our swords? But don't you use your shield?"
Luo Xiao patted his chest and made a unique metal clanging sound: "What shield? I am a heart-protecting mirror, a defensive weapon, not a weapon. I understand?"
"Protecting...heart mirror..." Lao Feiyan's mouth twitched. She saw with her own eyes that the blue round shield had become a killing weapon in Luo Xiao's hand, which was much better than the slashing sabre she was proud of.
Cheng Feifeng threw away the license plate in his hand and suddenly pointed forward: "Here, Ma's shop."
The Ma Family Shop is the only food shop and inn in Hongliu Town. There is a circle of fences outside, a horse shed on the left, a well house on the right, and behind the well house is the largest drying ground. In addition to drying some unknown herbs, there are large patches of colorful clothes and bedding. Looking carefully, a layer of fine gray sand fell on it. It seems that it is not easy to wear a clean dress in the northwest.
The entire shop is made of gray-yellow earth walls, two stories high, and from the outside, it looks like a huge warehouse for storing grain.
The three of them lifted the thick curtains and walked into the shop. The lobby was very spacious, with more than twenty large tables, but there were not many guests, but there were four or five tables. On the right side was the counter, and a shopkeeper and three friends were busy.
This is not the first time Luo Xiao and the other two have come to Hongliu Town. After all, this is a must-pass place to visit Baicao City, and it is also familiar to you. With the warm greeting of the guest, he walked along the stairs on both sides of the lobby and entered the guest room. The three of them booked two upper rooms, put their belongings, and then went downstairs to have food together.
There is no need to eat anything outside the border, and they eat large pieces of meat and drink wine. Luo Xiao and Cheng Feifeng are not good at this, so Lao Feiyan has a lot of alcohol. However, he also knows that they will inevitably have trouble along the way, so naturally they will not encounter such misunderstandings. The three of them only ordered two large plates of braised beef, a plate of pickled vegetables, three large bowls of mixed meat soup and a few large pancakes and steamed buns, and then they ate it hard.
Halfway through the meal, a group of people rushed in as the curtain moved.
Luo Xiao and the other two subconsciously looked up, their eyes narrowed, and the movements in their hands were frozen for a moment.
After entering the store, the group of people glanced at them and quickly locked on the three of them. They smiled sinisterly and walked towards a table not far from the three of them.
Cheng Feifeng and Lao Feiyan stared at the group of people with a vengeance, lowered their voices and said to Luo Xiao: "The tall and thin man in front of me is the guy who plotted against us."
Luo Xiao nodded, said nothing, withdrew his gaze and continued to eat.
Suddenly, Lao Feiyan said, "The bastard who intercepted us on the road is here."
Luo Xiao looked up and saw Yan Hong coming with two bowls of wine.
Bang! The wine bowl was slammed heavily on the table, and the wine overflowed and wet.
"Boy, you, very, very well, you almost killed my Yan Hong's life." Yan Hong slowly approached and stared at Luo Xiao, "Drink this bowl of wine, I'll give you a chance to survive."
Luo Xiao raised his sword eyebrows: "Oh? You are chasing and intercepting, aren't you just planning to kill them all? Can you still have a way out?"
"Of course there is! You guys are lucky. The two adults are generous. As long as you want to hand over that shield, you will be able to live. Otherwise..." Yan Hong replaced the unfinished words with a murderous cold snorkeling.
Luo Xiao's heart moved. It turned out that these guys were eyeing his dragon scale flying shield. If this was the case, they might be able to find a breakthrough... For a moment, my mind quickly turned, and a strategy to break through the current dilemma was quickly formed...
"I only drink toasts but not punished wine. I will leave this wine for you. As for the chance to survive...haha." Luo Xiao looked at Yan Hong sarcastically and smiled suddenly, "We plan to live here for a while, so I don't know if you have so much time to play with us."
Yan Hong's face suddenly looked ugly. As a border lieutenant who had been patrolling for many years, he knew more about the situation in Hongliu Town than anyone else. It is indeed not suitable for blatant actions here.
Strictly speaking, Hongliu Town only has one team of militia training. Although it is very fierce and its combat power is no less than his cavalry, he has two warrior-level strong men on his side. It is no problem to destroy a militia. However, the significance of this militia does not lie in its real combat power, but in deterrence - yes, it is deterrence.
It is only forty or fifty miles away from Baicao City, almost within the radius of cavalry patrol patrols. However, if there is any disturbance, it will attract Baicao City cavalry at any time, and then it will cause greater trouble. Whether it is Yan Hong, Agush, and Colin, after dealing with these young men and women, they must go to their respective positions and maintain their previous state. They cannot kill and robbery like real robbers, and do not have so much time to spend with the other party. It is obvious that this young man named Luo Xiao saw their concerns and became somewhat fearless.
Yan Hong's hand holding the wine bowl made the bowl rattle: "Boy, don't be proud, I'm kind of polite to give you a bowl of wine on the road..." Before he finished speaking, his pupils suddenly shrank.
But Luo Xiao picked up the wine bowl on the table and slowly tilted it. The wine drizzled and there was no drop left.
Luo Xiao threw the bowl onto the table: "I won't drink Shanglu wine. If you have this preference, I will prepare it for you next time."
Yan Hong didn't say anything anymore. He was afraid that if he continued to talk, he would not be able to hold the wine bowl on the head of the hateful boy, and then snatch the other person's neck with his arms... However, the result of this was to reveal his identity and the group of people. Tule people would never allow him to do this.
Seeing Yan Hong walk away, Lao Feiyan gesturing her fleshy fist hard and whispered: "This is a good idea. I wish they wouldn't dare to do it here. We'll waste time with them."
Luo Xiao looked at Cheng Feifeng: "What do you think?"
Cheng Feifeng frowned a pair of heroic eyebrows, thought about it and shook her head, "Of course we can bear it, but I'm afraid they won't come to know."
Luo Xiao focused heavily: "Yes, this is what I am worried about. The training of militia in the town regiment can only shock them and dare not take action openly, but no one can take action secretly."
"so……"
"So we won't really get through with them--to be precise, you can't really get through with each other."
Cheng Feifeng seemed to hear something and frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Go back to the room and talk in detail." Luo Xiao poured the last bite of meat soup into his stomach, stood up, winked at the two girls, and walked towards the stairs.
Yan Hong's table stared at the three people with different eyes, but did not make any stopping actions. Only the big guy, Tik, looked fierce and made a big move to wipe his neck.
Shortly after Luo Xiao and others disappeared, they moved the curtains and Xiao Ba, who was covered in dust, walked in, squeezed to the table, took a bowl of wine handed over by Su Bai and took a big mouthful, wiped the wine stains at the corner of his mouth and whispered: "I have checked it, but I haven't seen the blue shield that Captain Yan said."
Agush frowned: "So, did he carry it with him?"
"It's possible." Yan Hong had more dealings with the Hongliu Town regiment to train militias and learned more. "Weapons are collected here to prevent fighting. The main ones are weapons with high lethality, which are looser to daggers, hidden weapons, sticks, etc. If defensive weapons like shields persist, they may not be forced to be confiscated."
"It seems that it's on that kid." A killing intention flashed through Agush's eyes, "Okay, it's not a problem to get the license plate and collect items after killing him."
Yan Hong was choked by Luo Xiao and wanted to take action immediately. He asked, "That kid wants to stay calm and hold us up. Mr. Ke, Lord Agush, I wonder what plans are you planning?"
"Have it?" Colin laughed, stroked the goat's whisper, and said lightly, "We have to agree."
Agush looked even more light-hearted: "Plan? When will two crocodile warriors surround and kill three low-level warriors also need to plan?"
Yan Hong was shocked by the domineering responses of these two people. After a while, he laughed and raised the wine bowl: "Yes, it's because he was making a mistake. Yan punished himself for one."
There was a burst of laughter coming from the table, echoing the lobby.
In the guest room, Luo Xiao withdrew his peeping gaze from the door and returned to the table, with a solemn expression: "There are six people in total, and the big guy and the thin man are about the fourth to fifth levels. I have fought with the captain, and it is certain that it is the fifth level, and there are two... crocodile warriors."
Lao Feiyan was still unbelievable: "That Tule bastard and another goatee? Look at their breath at most, at most, level 4..."
"They have a breath-catching technique that can suppress their own breath. Unless they are much stronger than them, it will be difficult to perceive it." Luo Xiao sighed and shook his head, "If there were no illusion created by this technique, could this Hongliu Town easily let two level six warriors come in? I'm afraid that they would have reported to Baicao City to guard."
Level 6 warriors! Still two!
The two women's faces turned pale and their whole body was tense.
Lao Feiyan suddenly stood up and said angrily: "It's too much to bully people! Auntie fights with them..."
Cheng Feifeng hit her cousin with an elbow, and then hit her lower body back into her stomach. She looked at Luo Xiao’s face seriously: “What did you mean in the lobby just now?”
Luo Xiao pondered for a while, organized the language and said, "These people were originally coming to you, but now the situation has changed. They are coming to me."
Cheng Feifeng was stunned: "Why do you say that?"
"Because of this." Luo Xiao opened his clothes, took out the dragon scale shield used as a heart protection mirror and slammed it on the table.
"This is..." Cheng Feifeng widened her phoenix eyes, and the more she looked, the more surprised she became, "Is it really..."
"It's a spiritual weapon! It's the same breath as my uncle's Baizhan Dao!" Lao Feiyan also opened her mouth wide and looked at Luo Xiao in surprise, "How could you have a spiritual weapon? Who gave it to you?"
"Why do you have to give me?" Luo Xiao was speechless. "This is made by me using Jiao Scale and Wind Grinding Copper. It is produced by Luo's family and produced by Yishuicheng Refining Floor. It is, I, myself, myself."
Lao Feiyan looked incredible: "Jiao Scale?! How could you have such a superb spiritual material?"
Luo Xiao glanced at her indifferently: "It's not suitable to dig into the bottom of the matter, whether it's normal or the current situation."
Lao Feiyan also knew that she was wrong and it was a taboo to find out other people's secrets, so she hurriedly apologized.
"So that's it." Cheng Feifeng then understood what Yan Hong said to Luo Xiao before when he was in the lobby, and nodded, "A spiritual weapon is indeed much more valuable than me, the daughter of the city guard."
How rare are spiritual weapons? As long as you know that the entire Tianjing Domain is only a few dozen pieces, and it is basically controlled by the royal family, county magistrates and city magistrates, you will know that they are precious. More importantly, it is said that the entire Tull Alliance has no more than five spiritual weapons...
Luo Xiao gently stroked the shiny shield as a mirror and said, "I have a plan."
Cheng Feifeng was excited: "Senior Brother Luo... Please tell me."
Those who practice martial arts halls are the first. In today's battle, it can be seen that Luo Xiao is much better than them, so the word "School" is a bit unspeakable.
"Since they came for me, then I will stay with them and you will leave early tomorrow morning."
Bang! This time, Cheng Feifeng suddenly stood up and his phoenix eyes widened.
What kind of plan is this!
Chapter completed!
