C2152 past-man, Lv Bu and Diao Chan
As long as Xia Lei managed to slap them, most of these soldiers would fall down. However, he did not do so. His toes lightly tapped on the ground and his body flew out of the crowd. He jumped over dozens of meters and landed lightly at the front of the crowd as if he was nothing.
Although Xia Lei had already deliberately kept a low profile, and did not soar into the sky, nor did he release any seven-colored light, he only jumped out of the crowd. But even so, it still scared these past-man, all of them were dumbstruck seeing him flying over their heads, their jaws dropping to the ground.
Who could jump that far for a normal person?
"Assassin!" A high-ranking officer suddenly shouted.
"Protect Lord Wang!" Another person roared.
A group of archers pushed past the civilians blocking the way, their bows drawn and arrows nocked.
"Don't ?" the woman cried. The cause of the incident was her crying "Ghost!" If she hadn't screamed, the soldiers at her father's side wouldn't have reacted in such a way. He recalled that the man in black hadn't done anything, yet now he had to face the danger of having the arrow pierce his heart!
However, her voice had long been drowned out by the past-man's screams and cries, and couldn't even reach the ears of the soldiers.
Sou sou sou!
Several tens of arrows flew towards Xia Lei.
Xia Lei shook his head, with a wave of his right hand, an arrow that was aimed at him fell to the ground.
Just like that, the entire scene was silenced. The group of soldiers who were shooting at Xia Lei trembled in fear, and some of them subconsciously retreated.
Xia Lei said: "Don't be afraid, I am not your enemy. "Let's hurry into the city. It's an empty city."
"Who are you?" The official with surname Wang stood out and saluted Xia Lei, "Please forgive the many offenses that I have caused you earlier."
Xia Lei then observed him.
The official surnamed Wang had a thin face, medium build, and calluses on his right hand. It was a callus that would only appear when one gripped the sword and knife very often. Thus, from his facial appearance, his luxurious attire, and his cocoon, he should be an official who liked to dance with swords and spears without worry.
Xia Lei could not remember what kind of person was surnamed Wang in the history, but he was not too concerned either, he said: "Who I am is not important, quickly enter the city, don't delay any longer, this place is dangerous."
After saying this, he turned around and left.
"Brave warrior, please wait." It was the beautiful woman's voice.
Xia Lei stopped and turned to look at her.
The woman carefully asked, "Brave warrior, may I ask where we are?"
Xia Lei said: "Middle Earth, this is Middle Earth." He pointed at the city behind him, "That city is called Zhongtucheng."
"Is there no one else here?" the woman asked.
Xia Lei shook his head, "Other than you two, there's no one else."
The officer named Wang said, "Brave warrior, can you tell us why there's no one here?"
Xia Lei remained silent for a while, before saying: "You will know. Be stronger, and no matter what suffering, it will all go away. "Well, I have to go. Let's hurry into the city."
After saying this, he turned around and left.
There were only around 10,000 people being intercepted this time, but not all of them were from Officer Wang's side. Some people said that he was at this moment, but there were only a few tens of soldiers and archers protecting the official surnamed Wang. From this, it could be seen that he was not the most powerful leader among the group of past-man.
However, he did not care about the identity of the officer surnamed Wang, nor did he care about the generals with more soldiers. And then there was the young woman, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but so what? He's never been one of those men who likes sex.
Also, the dark canyon could capture more past-man s at any time to come here. If he were to save all of them, how long would it take for him to do so? Even if he wanted to, he was powerless. He came to the Death World to end that mission, not to become a savior. He had to think of a way to break open the 'door', and leave this place, being entangled with the past-man was definitely not a good thing for him.
Also, he had already saved Xiaoqiao and Daqiao, as well as those past-man, but they were still dying. He didn't know how much was left, but he didn't think that it would be too much. It was for these reasons that he suppressed his compassion.
To not pester him or save him, this was a test for his conscience. However, even if it was painful, even if he would blame himself, he still had to do it.
Xia Lei hardened his heart and walked forward, observing every single detail that his gaze could reach, searching for clues related to the "door".
"Daddy, that person is so strange." The young woman looked at Xia Lei's disappearing figure and muttered to herself.
"What does it matter to a weirdo who doesn't know etiquette? "Humph!" Officer Wang was obviously dissatisfied with Xia Lei's previous attitude.
At this moment, a cavalryman suddenly moved, charging towards the direction of Central Earth City. The one who was leading the charge was a young high-ranking officer. He was about two meters tall and tall. Beneath him was a red warhorse, which was also tall and sturdy. He held a banner in his hand. The banner fluttered in the wind, and a large "Lu" character was embroidered on it.
"Father, who is that general?" The young lady looked at the young officer leading the charge and asked casually.
Officer Wang gave it a glance and snorted, "I didn't expect him to come too. Who is he? Three surnamed family servant, L? Bu! "
Among them, there was Lu Bu and Crimson Rabbit.
The strongest general of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu, had actually also been intercepted and brought to Death World. He was undoubtedly the person with the highest status and strength in this batch of past-man, and he would undoubtedly become the leader of this batch of past-man s.
When the young woman heard the name "Lu Bu," her expression immediately changed, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.
"Diao Chan." The officer surnamed Wang said, "I know that you're engaged to him."
If Xia Lei was here and heard the father and daughter conversation, he would probably be shocked. He never thought that this young woman would actually be one of the famous four great beauties in the history of the Grand China, Diao Chan!
Diao Chan was also intercepted and came to Death World. The person she called daddy was naturally her foster father, Wang Ziyi.
"No, no, no ?" Diao Chan shook her head, "He is a bully in our place, he wants to snatch our girl and her land. I was accidentally caught by him, and he coveted my beauty and insisted on marrying me. He came to my house with her men, hurt my father, and forced him to draw a bet on the contract. My father died that night spitting blood, I... I ran away overnight. I wish I could kill him. I am not his wife! "
In the past, Diao Chan was indeed Lu Bu's descendant, but this truth didn't exist in the records of history.
Wang Yun sighed, "I originally wanted to give you to Dong Zhuo, and then let you talk to Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. I have already prepared a feast, but I didn't expect that ? "Sigh!"
A layer of mist rose from within Diao Chan's vast eyes.
Whatever her godfather wanted her to do, any woman would feel sick. However, she had no choice but to agree to Wang Yun's request. In those days, women had no status. Even his daughter could be given away as a gift, or she could be used as a tool to achieve some sort of goal.
However, a hint of relief appeared at the corner of her mouth. If Dong Zhuo wasn't here, wouldn't Lu Bu know that she had escaped the fate of being used as a gift and tool?
"Lu Bu wants to take over Central Earth City. I, Wang Yun, disdain living in the same city as him. Let's go to the village there." Wang Yun said.
Wang Yun brought his men towards the Western Village, which used to be Daqiao's and Xiaoqiao's home. The Suspension City destroyed it when it landed, but it was reconstructed when the Suspension City left, it was exactly the same as before.
In total, Wang Yun's personal guards numbered more than two hundred men, a pitifully small number.
On the other side, a few thousand Steel Cavalry arrived beside Xia Lei in the blink of an eye.
"Scram!" One of the cavalrymen bellowed as he whipped Xia Lei's back, who was immersed in walking.
Xia Lei did not dodge. The horse whip slapped his back, but following that, the horse whip snapped inch by inch!
"You ?" The cavalryman that hit him shouted in fear, but it was only one word.
Xia Lei only glanced at him once before walking with his head down again. He had deviated from the main road and had only walked on the ground without a path.
The sound of hooves rumbled, and thousands of cavalrymen carried the dust and rushed towards Central Earth City.
Xia Lei sighed in his heart, "Kind people, arrogant and despotic people, all of you are past-man here. Your fates are the same, you will all die here. Therefore, even if you were to whip me once, I would not want to get into a conflict with you, because you are already quite pitiful. "
A few thousand cavalrymen quickly charged into the city, followed by the people on foot. This time, the number of civilians was very small, only accounting for a quarter of the population. There were less than two thousand people. These people were all dressed in rags, and they were dragging their children along. The scene was very sad.
Xia Lei's conscience was slightly uneasy. As he walked, he asked himself, "Although the logic is that, not saving them is also beneficial for me. But am I really going to be a cold-hearted person? They are so pitiful. If I don't save them, they will all be eaten as food ? "
Despite his uneasiness, he had already made the decision to not pursue this matter, to not save him. He had to harden his heart and continue onward.
Life can never be short of choices that can't be helped.
When they were passing by the Central Earth City, there were already soldiers standing guard there. The citizens entering the city were ordered to pay the tax. If you really don't have any money, then you can just give me things.
Xia Lei looked up at the banner with the word "Lu" embroidered on it, and could not help but curse in his heart, "Fuck, isn't that guy a bit too much of a scum? He had thought that he was the first to arrive and had treated this Middle Earth City as his territory. He had actually taken the tax from the city! When the army of dead comes back, if that guy still collects taxes like this, I'll give in to him. "
He did not know that the "guy" he was referring to was the most ferocious general of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu. This time, he did not care much about these past-man s, he only wanted to find some clues regarding "door".
"Maybe I should go into the city and look for him." Xia Lei very quickly swept the items related to the past-man out of Old Bag. He went around the city gate, walked to a remote part of the city, and then jumped up and entered the city.
A dark cloud rose in the sky, and thunder rumbled.
