Before the leader could figure out what was going on, the deserters dropped from the sky like dumplings. With a few bangs, they fell like human sandbags not far from Shen Tang's feet, wailing non-stop. Some had bruises and swollen faces, while others had fractures and concussions.
They were all thrown here by someone!
A few who were not killed were still able to stand. They seemed to have seen something horrible and were forced to retreat step by step. The powerful and pure domineering aura suppressed them so much that they had no will to fight. All they had left was trembling and shaking like sieves.
The leader's face turned pale and he tried to stand up with his elbows bent, but he was in pain all over and his several attempts ended in failure.
"What's wrong?"
Zhai Le jumped down from the tree canopy and came to Shen Tang.
Shen Tang raised his eyebrows and said, "This night is really not peaceful."
Before one crisis is over, another crisis arises.
Upon hearing this, Zhai Le turned his gaze towards the darkness.
Ding, ding, ding.
Zhai Le's relaxed look disappeared, and the curve of his upturned lips gradually disappeared, and his peach blossom eyes also revealed a rare solemn look.
As the man approached, the sound became clearer. He was not unfamiliar with the sound, it was clearly the unique sound of armor and scales colliding. The man's footsteps were steady and powerful, and the rhythm was slow and leisurely. It seemed casual, but in fact, every step was accumulating momentum, rising step by step. He had a hunch that if the man's momentum was enough, even if he was in the best condition, he would not be able to stop him!
Definitely a strong enemy!
Zhai Le took a step sideways and stepped forward, just blocking half of Shen Tang's body, and lowered his voice: "This person is dangerous. If there is a conflict later, I would like to trouble Brother Shen to bear with it for a while, and Wen Xin will assist me."
After Shen Tang heard this, his face looked strange for a moment.
"I'm afraid... no need."
Just as Zhai Le was about to ask why, a burly figure approaching two meters in height gradually walked out of the darkness. The man wore a black tiger-head helmet with a bunch of red tassels on his head. The armor he wore was made of black "mountain" armor pieces connected together, which was beautiful and domineering. He wore shoulder guards, tiger-head pattern arm guards on both wrists, chest and back armor covering his entire upper body, armor skirts that reached his calves, and a majestic tiger-head waist guard on the front of his waist. He wore black soap boots on his feet, looking like a general coming down from the battlefield.
She leaned close to Zhai Le's ear and said, "It's the thief!"
Zhai Le: “…”
Wow, it’s indeed Mr. Gong Shuwu.
Isn’t that him who is coming
Not only Gong Shuwu, but also two scholars whose faces were not much whiter than ink followed behind him, one was Qi Yuanliang, the other was Chu Wuhui. One's face was darker than the other, almost blending into the night. When the two sides met, Gong Shuwu breathed a sigh of relief, and his armor turned into black martial energy and returned to the martial tiger talisman on his waist.
Without the 40-50 kg armor, Gong Shuwu's steps became much lighter. He stepped forward and said, "Finally I found you."
Zhai Le smiled bitterly: "Mr. Gongshu, you don't need to wear armor to fight a few bandits, right? You really scared me just now. I almost wanted to put on armor and fight you."
He takes the flexible route. Compared with warriors of the same level, his endurance and strength are not very sufficient, and even his armor is relatively light. He should fight quickly and decisively, and avoid long and lingering battles.
If you really run into a strong enemy, will you be the type that takes its time to warm up and accumulate strength, instead of taking the initiative and waiting for the other party to kill you head-on
Gong Shuwu just said: "Be cautious."
After all, two gentlemen of literature also came along.
Speaking of those two gentlemen...
Gong Shuwu and Zhai Le looked at Shen Tang at the same time.
Young Master Shen was holding a sword in one hand, with one hand on his waist, his chin slightly raised, his eyebrows full of self-righteousness. Facing the silent questions of the two gentlemen, she did not show any weakness, and did not think that there was anything wrong with not returning home at night and running to the mountains to fight with others.
Not only can she enforce justice on behalf of heaven, punish evil and eliminate evil, punish evil and promote good, but she can also rob the rich and help the poor - there is no doubt that this "poor" is herself - it is a wonderful thing to kill two birds with one stone, only a fool would not do it.
She didn’t “start a business” alone either.
Didn’t you bring Zhai Le with you
If Qishan gets angry because of this...
Shen Tang sighed and spoke in a tone that comforted a child.
"I'll definitely bring you here next time, okay?"
She reflected on herself deeply, sincerely and seriously.
Qishan: “…”
He should have been happy that the person he had been worried about all night was still by his side, but when he saw Mr. Shen's expression, he felt a little pain in his stomach and was filled with anger.
At this time, Zhai Le jumped out to explain.
"Mr. Qi, Brother Shen is drunk."
When Qi Shan heard this and looked at Shen Tang's unusual demeanor, his eyes twitched violently, and even his voice became several degrees weirder involuntarily, and he shouted, "You said he drank again?"
Zhai Le: "I don't know where Brother Shen drank the wine at first, but after going up the mountain, he drank at least three kilograms..."
Qishan: “…”
Chu Yao coughed lightly and patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"Forget it, as long as Wulang is safe and sound."
Qi Shan took several deep breaths to suppress his anger, and secretly told himself not to argue with a drunk. As for the three of them, they ran around for this matter, searched several hills, and searched in the dark all night. They would wait until Shen Xiaolang sobered up and then slowly settle the accounts.
Gong Shuwu noticed some movement in the woods not far away. He frowned and was about to go forward to investigate, but saw a short young girl walking out of the woods. She looked haggard. Zhai Le also noticed her and called out, "Miss Lin, are you awake?"
Lin Feng stepped forward only after hearing Zhai Le's voice.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her.
Although Lin Feng was young, he was not afraid of the stage. He bowed, stood up and walked to Shen Tang's side before answering, "I woke up when I heard the noise."
In fact, she didn't sleep the whole night and couldn't sleep.
Listening to the fighting outside, he was trembling with fear, and the scene of his family being slaughtered by the guards not long ago kept appearing in his mind.
But the noise didn't last long and everything returned to calm.
She was worried and came over secretly to see what was going on.
Qi Shan asked: "Who is this?"
Shen Tang: "She is Lin Feng."
"Lin Feng?"
"Well, she'll follow me from now on."
Follow
Qi Shan secretly looked at Shen Tang with a strange look.
Zhai Le added: "Mr. Qi, Miss Lin suffered a great disaster not long ago. Her relatives were murdered by thieves. Now she is alone. Brother Shen felt sorry for her and decided to take her with him to take care of her. Brother Shen has good intentions and has no ulterior motives."
Qishan: “…”
It would be fine if he didn't say it, but once he did, he couldn't help but think of something wrong.
Shen Tang directly complained to him: "Zhai Xiaofang, what you just said was very tea-like. Why don't you tell me what I meant by 'his other intention'?"
Zhai Le: “…”
Although I don't understand what "the tea tastes very strong" means, I can tell with my toes that it is not a good word.
Driven by his survival instinct, Zhai Le chose to change the subject.
"What should we do with these bandits?"
Shen Tang said: "If you are lucky enough to survive, we will recruit you. If you can't hold on and die, we will bury your body on the spot and make the soil fertile."
Chu Yao keenly caught a word.
"Recruit?"
Shen Tang raised his head with a little pride.
"I now have dozens of younger brothers."
Chu Yao curved his eyes and praised: "Wu Lang is brave."
Qishan: “…”
His eyes rolled back to his head.
At this time, he noticed the injured bandit leader.
Relying on his photographic memory, he easily recognized his identity and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Isn't this the officer who escorted Gong? He is an official, no matter how come he looks like this?"
When he heard the word "Gong", Gong Shuwu's back stiffened.
His sharp eyes almost pierced through the man.
