Since His Royal Highness Carter announced the closure of the city, the surrounding villages have become uninhabited, and the buildings, fields, and ponds are still intact, but there is no population, which looks very strange. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But recently, there is gossip, saying that the six cities of Bianfan are ready to open to the outside world, and claim that they have solved the problem of the route, this news has caused a great sensation, some businessmen are waiting, and there are also a little bolder but not much experience with the goods to run to the side, want to earn the first wave of business opportunities!

If it is a merchant with some experience, it will definitely not be like this, such as a tavern in Fenghua City, where several experienced merchants are discussing related matters together at this time.

"You said that the announcement of the opening of the route here and there is true or false?" A middle-aged man with a goatee and a somewhat lean skeleton asked, squinting his eyes.

"Who knows?" The accomplice next to him said: "It's blocked over there, but I have a friend who brought intelligence from the West Sea that the Shenyang Empire is still in a state of readiness, which means that the battle should not be over, and the Shenyang Empire has not spoken, this time I have a little hard time believing that His Highness!" ”

"But that Highness has never disappointed!"

"That's .......," the merchant recalled, and then nodded, "It's true that it hasn't disappointed, but we'd better be steady!" ”

"Steady?" The middle-aged man with the goatee frowned: "The business opportunity is the first wave, and the biggest oil and water must also be the first wave. ”

"What's wrong with the soup?" The other disagreed: "You have to see if you can eat meat, not to mention that the situation over there is complicated, there are a lot of risks on the road in the past, have you forgotten?" It takes two days to get from here to the nearest city of Bian Fan, and because of the closure of Bian Fan, the surrounding towns and villages are deserted, do you think ......" said he stared at the goatee companion with a faint look in his eyes: "What are the things that live in it now?" ”

"Forehead......" The goatee middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly thought of something, his face was pale, yes, now a large number of merchants are running there, and the smarter thieves must have been ambushed in those places early to prepare for a slaughter, not a large caravan, and now in the past, maybe they will be swallowed to the scum!

Seeing his friend's expression, knowing that the other party had woken up, he smiled and said: "With the prosperity of Bian Fan, as long as the back is stable, even a little soup is enough for us to earn, not to mention that Fenghua City is not bad here, now the new lord's policy is very good, at least this business tax is a lot less, I don't know how much better than other cities, wait slowly, don't worry my friend!" ”

"Yes!" The goatee-bearded merchant seemed to have finally been convinced, and took a sullen sip of his wine!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

What the two merchants said was the current situation of Bianfan, the towns around the six cities had become deserted due to the closure of the city, but in fact, it was not that there was no one, and the thieves who were waiting for their opportunity were ambushing around these towns at this time, as the tavern merchant said.

These thieves are very experienced, of course, they don't live directly in the town, it's easy to scare away a lot of people, they usually camp in the forest or mountains, and then send people to keep an eye on them every day, and when they gather too much, they will go to collect a wave!

At this time, this town called Chenguang is located on the periphery of Bianyang City, about a day's journey from the main city, if you ride a fast horse for about half a day, many merchants gather here to rest, but after coming in, many people regret it.

The main thing is that some scenes are too ugly when you come in!

As soon as you enter here, there seems to be a dead silence, desolation, and weirdness that fills the whole town!

If you look closely, you will find that the doors of these houses, especially some large buildings, such as the church gates, are quite badly damaged, and there are traces of arrows, fire, and bullets on them, but the traces are not very old, it should be the matter of the past ten days!

After entering the street, you can see pools of dark red blood everywhere, on the side of the street, next to the door, in the corner of the wall, everywhere.

There were also some bloodstained tattered pieces of cloth scattered, and the blood on them was so glaring that it seemed that something terrible had happened to the owner of the clothes.

There are also traces of the destruction of the portal, and some houses have been burned......

After seeing this scene, all the businessmen turned pale with fright, but the distance between this location and the previous location is very sensitive, many people set off from the previous location in the early morning and arrive here at night, at this time people are tired and sleepy, and it is more dangerous to force the road or go back at night, so everyone can only gather together, gather strength at the same time, but also have more courage.

Everyone gathered in the church of the town, after all, this building is the largest, and it is the most suitable for defense, and more importantly, there are statues of gods inside, which will give people a little more peace of mind.

There is a group of people in the crowd who are very different, they are dressed luxuriously, and several samurai around are wearing regular equipment, obviously not in the same group as the people around them, in the middle of the samurai, is a brown-haired boy, if you see it clearly, you will know that this is His Royal Highness Andy, the sixth prince of the empire!

Among those merchants, an old man who looked quite prestigious, suddenly walked over, carefully bent down and asked, "Honorable lord, may I ask..... Are you nobles? ”

The people around also gathered their eyes, although everyone faintly guessed that the identity of the other party was not simple, but if he admitted that he was a nobleman, it would give people more peace of mind, once confirmed, even if those thieves came, they should not dare to kill the nobles indiscriminately, in the empire, it is a crime for you to kill civilians or even kill civil servants, but killing the nobles is to provoke the empire, except for those barbarians in the southwest region who do not understand the rules, most of the thieves still dare not kill the nobles!

Andy frowned, nodded slightly, and the people around him secretly cheered when they heard the words, with the presence of nobles, although they may still be squeezed, the chance of their lives being saved is very high!

As he was talking, someone suddenly came and ran in, it was a young man who was selected by the big guy to sentry, he ran in and panted and said, "Yes..... Someone's coming! ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and their faces were nervous, only Andy seemed calmer, he stepped forward and asked, "Is it a bandit?" ”

"It's like.... No! The man took a few breaths, and then excitedly said, "I see that they are carrying cattle and horses, goods, furniture, and seeds, it seems... It seems that the ordinary people of Bianfan should have come to settle and restore the village! ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, everyone's mood relaxed, and even Andy's frowning brows relaxed, and then ordered: "You continue to guard this house, be on guard, don't rule out that it is a thief disguised, you must strengthen your guard, I'll go out and have a look!" ”

"Your Highness....." The samurai on the side hurriedly said, "It's too risky, let's go....."

Your Highness? There were a few businessmen who reacted a little faster with their pupils shrunk and hurriedly lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.

"It's fine!" Andy waved his hand: "You guys come with me!" ”

After a few people went out, they saw the people of Bianfan that the person just said from a long distance, Andy looked at it, and it was indeed as the person who was watching said, these people were wearing ordinary civilian clothes, and they were pulling a large number of goods, many of which were daily necessities, and they didn't look like thieves in disguise.

The leader was an old man, and his outfit was instantly recognizable to Andy, a scholar's attire!

"Good night, Elder!" Andy stepped forward and performed an aristocratic etiquette to the leading old man, the other party is a scholar, although the scholar is not necessarily a nobleman in terms of identity, but they are all high-ranking and respected, it is not a shame to salute them, and most of the scholars are also proficient in etiquette, Andy is also a test, if the other party is really a scholar, he should return the salute.

Sure enough, the other party also smiled and bowed: "Good night, my lord!" ”

Andy and the warrior behind him were stunned, they had never seen this kind of etiquette of the other party, but he couldn't find fault with it, because the other party was impeccable in terms of posture and bearing, and even he felt that he had been influenced by royal etiquette for more than ten years, and he didn't seem to be as good as the bearing of the person in front of him.

What's going on? This etiquette..... It's so beautiful! That's Andy's mind right now.

And he noticed that even if he revealed his noble identity, the old man and the people behind the old man all looked calm, and did not immediately show a humble look like ordinary people, and Andy also vaguely felt that there was still a trace of superiority in the eyes of those people!

What's going on?

Shaking his head, Andy still asked the matter: "Elder, may I ask if you are the people of Bianfan?" ”

"Yes!" The old man smiled and said, "We are the people of Bianfan, and we are also the people of the night!" ”

"Dark night?" Andy was stunned for a moment, didn't understand, and said secretly: "Maybe it's some religion....", and then asked the point: "Then you came back to settle the village this time, do you have regular soldiers to follow and protect you?" As far as he knew, most of the villagers who opened up new places or reinstated villages would send troops to protect the first phase of the village, and then some knights would stay here after the villages and towns were built.

"Soldiers?" The old man glanced at Andy with a smile, then shook his head and said: "The soldiers of Bianfan are now in short supply, in addition to the affairs of HNA, they must also be assigned to various waypoints to be stationed, and there are no extra soldiers to take care of our little things!" ”

"A trifle?" Andy was angry: "Then who is responsible for your safety?" ”

"What are the safety issues associated with developing a Zhuangzi?" The old man looked unimpressed.

Andy was a little speechless, could it be that there had never been any bandits before Bian Fan? This scholar has a good bearing in all aspects, not like a person who has no brains and no common sense!

"The bandits are coming!" Just as Andy was about to say something more, the shouts of the sentry were suddenly heard in the distance!

The people in the church screamed in horror when they heard the sound, and they became more and more confused, but Andy was a little surprised to find that the group of ordinary people in front of him had calm faces and did not react at all.

Seeing this, Andy took a step back and secretly guarded: "Are they really accomplices?" It doesn't make sense! ”

Then he found that after these people put down the goods, they all walked slowly towards the back, lined up in a scattered formation, Andy frowned, it seemed that they were not accomplices, but what was their expression? It looks like it doesn't matter......

"Roar!" Outside the town, a large firelight suddenly appeared in the distance, and Andy also heard the sound of horses' hooves, which made Andy frown slightly, there were horse thieves on the other side, and there were no less than 20 horses, and they seemed to be carrying bows and arrows from a distance, which was a little troublesome!

"Oooh!" The horse thieves and the foot thieves who followed behind them all shouted and screamed with joy and excitement in their throats, and their hands danced, and when they looked at the villagers on this side, their faces were hideous and full of desire.

According to the intelligence, there are not only a lot of businessmen gathered here, but also civilians who come to settle down, and the most important thing is that these civilians are not escorted by the army, which is simply a benefit from God.

But some of the horse thief leaders felt that something was wrong, he felt that the other side was too calm, and the merchants or civilians in the past were not frightened when they encountered their own group, even if they were calmer, they were all looking for a corner and trembling for defense.

How can they be like them, just standing around casually, looking at their group expressionlessly, and that look seems to be full of disdain!

What's the situation? The leader of the horse thieves frowned, and said secretly: "Establish a prestige first!" Then he took off his strong attack, and the upper arrow pulled a perfect arc, and shot an arrow at a civilian woman on the left.

Picking women to do the goal is particular, the average woman does not react as fast as young men, the probability of failure is very small, and the woman's body is relatively weak, with his strong bow, he can basically guarantee an arrow to kill, more deterrent, and shooting women will also make people feel that their gang is more cruel, so they are afraid!

Seeing this, all the bandits roared even harder, letting out bursts of cruel laughter and mockery.

"Be careful!" Andy exclaimed in the back,

But the next moment, Andy and the bandits opposite were stunned, and the young woman, as soon as she stretched out her hand with an expressionless face, she directly caught it empty-handed!

The bandits who were originally cheering and howling suddenly quieted down, a little incredible, the leader of the horse thieves was also, and the distance between himself and the other party was only about 20 meters, such a close distance, and he received arrows empty-handed? He asked himself that he had never met after walking on the mainland for so many years, even those famous warriors, it was estimated that few could do it, let alone a civilian woman!

Moreover, I shot a 200-pound strong bow! It's no ordinary light arrow...... The horse thief leader's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the civilians around him, and finally smelled a trace of weirdness!

Andy was also dumbfounded, among the knights of the kingdom, he had never seen anyone who could do it, and most importantly, the civilians around him were almost expressionless, as if it was a matter of course that the woman could take arrows empty-handed!

"Your Excellency, you are from the imperial capital, right?" The old scholar next to Andy suddenly asked.

"Uh.... Kindness! Andy nodded confusedly.

"Then welcome to the Six Cities of Bianfan, you are very lucky, because you will see the greatest city in the world, and ......" he paused, and said proudly, "The greatest nation!" ”

"The most.... Great nation? "Do you mean themselves? Andy looked confused, feeling that the other party was so arrogant and straightforward, and he was not modest at all. But the other party's expression and bearing made him unable to say a word of rebuttal, and he couldn't even think of rebuttal in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, Andy saw that those civilians were all moving forward towards the bandits at this time, and the inexplicable bandits, whether they were people or horses, seemed to be shocked, and they all took a few steps back, which made Andy behind him stunned!

A flash of purple light flashed in the eyes of all the civilians, and finally some excited expressions appeared on their faces, looking at these bandits as if they had seen prey!

Genetic bloodline, as long as it is injected, will have some impact on the personality of the original owner.

The chaotic bloodline will make people violent, the empty bloodline will make people full of predation, the natural bloodline will make people inexplicably peaceful and love and hate, and the dark night is too, although the dark night belongs to a more positive race, but they have never been a peaceful race, the dark night believes in the lord of the silver moon, is the god of the moon and the god of hunting, and the dark night belongs to the heroic and warlike race even among the ten races, and it is full of wildness from the bones.

Those bandits were stared at like this by this group of people, and suddenly a piercing chill broke out in everyone's hearts, and they ..... I finally felt that my group... Seems to have messed with something that shouldn't be messed with!
