Anyone who has been walking in the desert for nine days and suddenly sees green will feel better. Ye Ming smiled slightly and moved quickly towards the grassland.
However, just as he moved, a horse galloped towards him from the other direction. Immediately, there was a woman sitting in her twenties, with a very beautiful face.
She looked anxious, her eyes full of fear. Behind her, there are five fast horses, and on the horse is a man in blue, holding a crossbow and a short knife.
When the woman was about to rush to Ye Ming, five fast horses were already approaching. One of them jumped up, landed behind the woman, and knocked her off the horse with one palm.
After the woman landed, she rolled a few times and got up again. In her arms, she seemed to be holding a red-painted wooden box, which she seemed to cherish very much.
All five people dismounted and saw Ye Ming not far away, who seemed to have just walked out of the desert and was very embarrassed. One of them, without thinking, suddenly pointed the crossbow at Ye Ming, and then pulled the trigger.
Ye Ming narrowed his eyes. Everyone was strangers to each other. He actually killed people directly because he saw them
The crossbow shot the arrow very quickly. After the man shot it, he was sure that Ye Ming would die.
Sure enough, Ye Ming didn't hide. It wasn't until the crossbow arrow was three feet in front that he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the crossbow arrow in his palm.
The man using the crossbow was shocked. He had used crossbows to kill people all his life, and he had never seen anyone react so quickly. He just caught the crossbow arrow!
"brush!"
Ye Ming waved his hand, and the crossbow arrow shot out, suddenly penetrated the opponent's heart, and then shot far away. This shows how powerful his swing is.
The man's body fell heavily to the ground. He was unwilling to die. How could he meet such a powerful person
The other four people were dumbfounded. At almost the same moment, they aimed their crossbows at Ye Ming.
This time, they had no chance to shoot, because as soon as Ye Ming waved his hand, four sword coins flew out. Each coin was nailed deeply into the eyebrows of the four people, killing them on the spot.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ye Ming and said gratefully: "Strong man, thank you for saving me."
Ye Ming ignored her. She went to search the body, and he found some accompanying items. In addition to some knives and coins, there were also a few money tickets. Looking at the numbers on them, it turned out to be more than 15,000 knives.
Fragments were not very valuable, so he simply picked a few items. Then he took off a short knife. I feel that this short knife is well made and can be used for self-defense.
After he finished all this, he asked the woman: "Why did they kill you?"
The woman tightened the box in her arms and said, "I am from the Zhu family in Xuantie City, five hundred miles away. My Zhu family is a family of weapon refining, mastering the most advanced weapon refining techniques in the Zhao Kingdom. But late last night , a group of people broke into my house and killed all my Zhu family members. I was lucky, I was not at home at the time and escaped."
"After that, I quietly returned home, entered the treasure trove, and took away the heirlooms of my Zhu family. I didn't want them to be watching in secret. When they saw me appearing, they chased me all the way to here."
After hearing this, Ye Ming pointed to the box and asked, "What treasure? Can I see it?"
The woman actually sent the box over. She looked at Ye Ming and said seriously: "The little girl is willing to send the family heirloom. She only asks the strong man to kill those bad guys and avenge my family!"
Ye Ming took the box and opened it, there was a dagger inside. This dagger was of exquisite workmanship. After taking possession of it, he actually felt that there was spiritual energy flowing in it. It was actually a magic weapon!
He was secretly surprised that the number of magic weapons in this world was probably less than the number of warlocks. He didn't expect to encounter them.
He put away the dagger and asked, "Do you know who killed your whole family?"
The woman nodded: "These people in blue are all killers of the Ghost King's Mansion."
Then she told Ye Ming that the Ghost King was actually the cousin of the current leader of the Kingdom of Zhao. He was the county king here, but he was ruthless and murderous. He was regarded as a devil by others, so he was called the Ghost King.
Not only was the ghost king not disgusted by this title, but he accepted it readily. He regarded himself as the ghost king and established ghost camps, ghost killers and other duties.
In the State of Zhao, the princes had great power, and local officials had to obey them. This ghost king sent someone three days ago to ask for the Zhu family's heirloom, which is this dagger, named 'Turing Dagger'. The Zhu family did not agree, and as a result they were destroyed. "
Ye Ming: "That ghost king must be very powerful. You asked me to kill him. How did you know I could do it?"
The woman raised her head and said: "I saw the strong man take action. He is definitely a top expert. Moreover, the ghost king has a treasure rewarded by the king, called the 'Vajra Dharma Clothes', which is invulnerable. Kill him and the strong man can take it. Dharma robes. In addition, the Ghost King has countless wealth, and he has always loved talents, so all the treasures are hidden in the bedroom."
Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "Okay, I promise you. But I'm not familiar with this place, so you have to lead the way. You don't have to be afraid that the people from the Ghost King's Mansion will chase you again. They will die no matter how many times they come."
Ye Ming now has a clearer understanding of his own strength in this world. His strength should far exceed that of ordinary people. Even some masters are weak in his eyes.
He hasn't come into contact with the top group of people in the world, so he doesn't know how big the gap is. However, his current strength is also constantly improving, and those warlocks must not be much stronger than him. "
The woman nodded vigorously: "As long as I can get revenge, I can do anything."
So, Ye Ming took a beautiful woman and continued to move forward. Soon, we entered a small town with a restaurant. He was a little hungry, so he took the woman inside and ordered something to eat.
He now knows that the woman's name is Zhu Yuanyuan, she is twenty-one years old and is not yet married. Ye Ming was curious as to why she was not married, so he asked: "You guys seem to get married in your teens, why are you still a girl?"
Zhu Yuanyuan said softly: "I was betrothed to a young master from Xuantie City in my early years, but later he died in infancy, and my marriage was delayed because of this. Outsiders thought I was unlucky, so no one wanted to marry me."
Ye Ming shook his head: "It's really ridiculous that no one wants such a beautiful woman."
Zhu Yuanyuan lowered her head and said: "This little girl is homeless now. If she can avenge her, she is willing to work as a cow or a horse to serve the strong man."
This undoubtedly means that she is willing to follow Ye Ming. Ye Mingxin said that this was not bad, and he nodded: "Okay. But don't call me a strong man, call me Brother Ye from now on."
Zhu Yuanyuan nodded: "Yes, Brother Ye."
Through Zhu Yuanyuan, Ye Ming learned more about the Zhao country. This Zhao country is completely ruled by the aristocracy, and the aristocrats have all privileges.
Moreover, the bloodlines of nobles are very strong. Whether they are studying literature or martial arts, they are much higher than ordinary people. Almost all the generals in the army and ministers in the court were from noble families.
Ye Ming asked: "So, nobles are born noble?"
Zhu Yuanyuan: "Everyone in the world says so."
Ye Ming disagreed and said: "What is noble? There must be a secret in it. I will know it sooner or later."
It was getting late, so the two of them rested in the town. At night, Ye Ming continued to practice and left the desert. He felt that the aura of heaven and earth here was much deeper.
Now he was even more surprised. Although there was so much spiritual energy, it was so strange that the people here didn't practice!
After practicing for a whole night, his strength increased a lot, reaching forty medium-thousand-power.
As soon as it dawned, the two set off for Xuantie City. Xuantiecheng is a medium-sized city in the Zhao Kingdom. The Ghost King lives in Xuantiecheng, and its fiefdom has a radius of 500 miles, including Xuantiecheng.
The further you go along this road, the more prosperous it becomes. Later, Ye Ming saw a big city with wide official roads and busy traffic.
Finally arriving at Xuantie City, the first thing Ye Ming did when he entered the city was to find a meal at the most expensive restaurant.
Zhu Yuanyuan was afraid of being discovered, so she covered herself with a gauze scarf and followed Ye Ming.
Ye Ming had a big appetite and ordered twenty-four dishes in one meal, not counting soup and desserts. Finally, he finished everything on the table and was satisfied.
While picking his teeth, he asked, "Is the Ghost King's Mansion nearby?"
Zhu Yuanyuan nodded: "Five hundred steps east of here is the Ghost King's Mansion."
Ye Ming said: "After I kill the Ghost King, what are your plans?"
Zhu Yuanyuan thought for a while and said, "I am willing to follow Brother Ye to Taiping City, the capital of Zhao State. If we have money, we can buy property there."
Ye Ming actually had a similar idea. Ye Shaobai and the others were quite capable and could come out to absorb the aura of heaven and earth here. But before that, he must first settle down here.
Murder is really not a big deal to Ye Ming. But the opponent is the Ghost King, so you still have to prepare.
At night, Zhu Yuanyuan waited anxiously at the inn. And Ye Ming has appeared near the Ghost King's Mansion.
He jumped tens of meters high. When he was in the air, he looked down at the Ghost King's Mansion and saw a location with the brightest lights, so he landed towards that location.
At this moment, Ghost King Zhao Lingzong was playing with his jewelry. There are treasures everywhere in his bedroom, and he also loves treasures. If he doesn't play with them, his hands will itch.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise on the roof, dust flew up, and tiles, sawdust, and sand fell one after another. Vaguely, he saw a figure landing heavily not far from him, trampling his bed to pieces.
"Are you the Ghost King?" the other party asked.
The Ghost King was furious: "How dare you, who are you, dare to destroy this king..."
"puff"
With a flash of cold light, Ye Ming cut off the Ghost King's head. Then he picked up a big blanket and wrapped the treasures in the house into a big package.
At this time, a group of guards rushed in shouting. But he jumped, flew dozens of meters high, and left with the package on his back.
