Chapter 204 Buying a life fee 【Ask for a monthly ticket】
The old man was anxious and angry, but he dared not say anything. After paying the money, the hairpin was taken away in vain. He could only sigh in his heart that he was unlucky, and then he struggled to get up and protected the hairpin on the shelf.
items to avoid greater losses.
A young man wearing armor arrogantly explained what buying tolls meant. After he finished speaking, the leader smiled and stretched out his hand, gesturing for Ye Tian and others to hand over their money.
"court death!"
Jin Yu was furious in her heart. If Ye Tian hadn't signaled with his eyes, Jin Yu would have taught these people a lesson.
After seeing the leader beating the old man and snatching his hairpin, Ye Tian and the others felt a little angry. Feng Ying's mood was quite complicated. In the past, he was a horse thief, and beating people and grabbing things could only be regarded as a crime.
Just a commonplace meal.
"Excuse me, sir, how much does it cost to pay for the toll?"
Ye Tian cupped his hands and asked.
"Seeing that you have come all the way, I won't charge more. The price is only ten taels of silver."
The leader chuckled.
"Ten taels of silver, so much!"
The old man murmured in surprise, ten taels of silver is not a small amount, these patrolling guards are really evil-hearted.
Ye Tian also felt that ten taels of silver was a lot. In the past, even if he worked hard for hunting for several months, he might not be able to earn ten taels of silver. These people were clearly robbing!
"Old guy, you're a bitch, don't you think so?"
A young man viciously kicked the old man to the side of the road, then held his long sword to his chest and continued to curse.
At this time, some passers-by came to watch, and after a while several groups of people gathered. The leader became a little anxious and cursed: "Hurry up and pay the toll, otherwise I will not be polite."
"My lords, the four of you come from a remote village, and we have already run out of money. We need ten taels of silver to pay for the travel expenses. It is really too expensive, and the lower class cannot afford it."
Ye Tian clasped his fists and said with a wry smile on his face.
"Yes! You won't be able to make even one tael of silver in the next year! You are robbing money!"
Luo Yu also continued.
The onlookers were talking a lot, and some were pointing, which made a group of cavalry a little anxious. The leader was furious: "If you don't pay the toll, then we will arrest them all."
"Wait a minute, how can you do such a greedy thing under such a bright and clear world? Is there any way to do it?"
A passerby made a reprimand.
"If you don't want to die, just mind your own business!"
The leader stared at the man and shouted.
The passerby was alone. Hearing this, he stepped back a few feet and closed his mouth with a wry smile.
"Let's do this! Let's go another way! Take the unbuilt road."
After Ye Tian finished speaking, he walked towards the road, and the three of them followed suit.
"This is a group of unruly people, take them all down!"
The leader shouted coldly.
A group of people fiercely drew their swords and charged at the four of them. Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh. These people were too domineering and completely unreasonable. The four of them had just arrived and were threatened to pay for travel expenses.
Not wanting to cause trouble does not mean blindly tolerating. After Ye Tian investigated some, he found that the cultivation level of these cavalrymen was very weak, and the strongest ones were only at the level of late-stage martial arts masters.
"Yu'er, teach them a lesson and let them know that some people are not to be messed with."
Ye Tian said with a smile, feeling that he really didn't need to take action against these people.
"Yes, master!"
Luo Yu had been holding back his breath for a long time. When he was in Xiqiu, he faced all the strong men in the Martial God stage. He was powerless and had no chance to display his skills.
In full view of the public, Luo Yu stood in front of the three of them. The cavalrymen did not take Luo Yu seriously. The leader laughed and said: "These boys don't know how high the sky is, how dare they resist? It's really unbelievable.
Do your best!"
Luo Yu didn't even use his Yuanli talent. He put his hands behind his back and kept flashing. He only heard bursts of screams. How could those cavalry be Luo Yu's opponent? None of the cavalry could clearly see Luo Yu.
With just one movement, he was kicked to the ground.
Within a few dozen seconds, all the cavalrymen who had rushed over had fallen to the ground. The leader was dumbfounded. He never thought that these young men could be so powerful. Especially the person who took action, who was only twelve or thirty years old.
Even though he is so old, he is so powerful!
"You are so brave, you dare to attack the city guards!"
The leader's expression changed drastically and he shouted unwillingly.
"It's you city guards who are being beaten. If you don't want to die, take your men and get away!"
Ye Tian sneered.
"court death!"
The leader drew his sword angrily and rushed towards Ye Tian. Luo Yu rushed forward with a sneer and kicked him three feet away.
"It's so awesome, at least he's a master in the Wuzong period."
The leader felt that his ribs had been broken by the opponent's kick. He looked at Luo Yu in horror and couldn't figure out how this little-known boy could be so powerful!
Some of the onlookers left immediately, while others were still watching the fun, but the old man was dumbfounded. In his heart, he felt that these four people were too reckless. If they beat the city guards, the consequences would be very serious.
There were a few others whose legs were trembling and they did not dare to attack Luo Yu. However, the leader finally got up from the ground and stared at Luo Yu in shock and anger.
"Why, are any of you still dissatisfied? Otherwise, let's continue to gesture, gesture!"
Luo Yu said with a smile.
All the city guards, no matter how dared to provoke, looked at Luo Yu with awe.
"Master, what should we do with them?"
Luo Yu asked.
"In this way, a person pays ten taels of silver to buy his life. If he doesn't pay the silver, he will be shot without mercy!"
Ye Tian sneered and said, thinking that he had already offended the city guards, so he simply offended them completely. Since they wanted to extort money to pay for travel expenses, then he would treat them the same way as others and give them money to pay for their lives.
.
"What? Damn it! You are seeking your own death."
The leader yelled angrily.
"You are asking for death!"
Luo Yu rushed over and kicked him to the ground.
"You idiots, run quickly and bring in the reinforcements!"
The leader roared angrily.
The few people who were still standing suddenly realized, and they all thought of escaping at this moment. However, Luo Yu had already rushed forward quickly, knocking the remaining cavalry to the ground.
"No one of you can escape. Hurry up and start paying the money from yourself. If you don't have any, you can ask your companions to borrow money. Otherwise, you will die!"
Luo Yu coldly pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it directly at the leader.
"You dare to rob the centurion of the city guard? You are too brave."
The leader pointed at Luo Yu and shouted sharply.
"Stop talking nonsense, if you don't pay the money to buy your life, prepare to die!"
Luo Yu had long disliked this person. He exerted a little force with his right hand and the sword had already penetrated a few points. The armor on the leader's body was actually pierced, and blood oozed from his chest.
"Ah! Do you really dare to kill the centurion?"
The man exclaimed.
"Why are there so many nonsense? Let's cut off one of his arms first to let him know that we are not joking."
Ye Tian said with a smile.
Luo Yu raised his sword and cut off the man's right arm with ease.
The man let out a shrill scream, and no longer dared to fight harshly, and hurriedly shouted: "Spare your life, spare your life! I'll pay for your life."
Luo Yu collected the money and then said with a smile: "You can go away, I won't issue a receipt."
A group of city guards became lambs to be slaughtered. Each one of them paid a life fee and quickly fled the place. After these city guards fled, some onlookers advised the four of them to leave quickly.
"Thank you for your kindness. Although the four of you come from a remote mountain village, they are not afraid of those city guards. If they want revenge, just come here!"
Ye Tian cupped his hands and said.
The onlookers left quickly because they knew that the city guards would not give up and would come looking for reinforcements at this time. No one wanted to get into trouble.
So, there were only four people and the old man left in that place. The old man was worried and advised the four people to run away quickly. However, Ye Tian was calm and composed, smiling at the items he was selling.
Ye Tian chose a snow-white bow and a bunch of wind chimes, and when he asked about the price, the old man said he would not accept cash, which made Ye Tian speechless.
"Old man, we are not the city guards. It is not easy for you to do a small business. Please set a price!"
Ye Tian smiled.
"Sir, you can give it as you like! I'm about to rush back. If I'm caught and thrown into prison in the city, the consequences will be disastrous."
The old man put on airs and felt very nervous.
"Old man, we are the ones who have caused trouble for you today. So be it! Don't go out to do business recently. There are one hundred taels of silver here, just accept it!"
Ye Tian handed the silver to the old man.
"One hundred taels? No, this is too much. I can't accept it. Even if I do business for three years, I may not be able to earn a hundred taels. Guests, you should keep it for your own use!"
The old man refused.
"If you don't accept it, I will kill you immediately!"
Ye Tian's expression darkened, and he pulled out the long sword from his waist with one hand. The frightened old man trembled all over.
"Have mercy! I'll just take it. Thank you sir!"
The old man said hurriedly, accepted the money with gratitude, and then knelt down to thank Ye Tian.
"Let's leave quickly! Only fools would wait for their revenge!"
Ye Tian chuckled and led the four of them away from the official road and onto a small road. The old man also quickly entered another small road and soon disappeared without a trace.
"Master, this place is really strange! What exactly are the city guards? Are there horse thieves in Xiping County?"
Luo Yu asked curiously.
"Probably not horse thieves, but they are not much different from horse thieves. If we hadn't been strong just now, we would have been blackmailed or thrown into prison. So, these people are really a bit hateful."
Ye Tian said in a deep voice, at this time, he didn't understand what the city guards were doing. Their cultivation level was very low, and they were not like the worshipers in the village. They were not even as good as the disciples who worshiped them.
"Zhuangzi here doesn't even build walls or guard the fields. Aren't they afraid of horse thieves?"
Feng Ying looked at the fields around him, feeling very confused in his heart.
"There are already city guards. If there are still horse thieves, the people here will not be able to live. Why not, I will go find my friend first. Her residence is not in Xiping County, but outside Xiping County.
In a village."
Ye Tian took out the letter again and looked at the crooked map marked on it. He became more and more excited because it was not far from Xuanyuan Youxue's residence.
