Chapter 222: Duel in the West
The appearance of the wide carriage attracted the attention of more people on the street, and by the time the carriage and eight guards stopped in front of the truck, the number of onlookers standing in the street behind had risen to several hundred.
Four of the guards directly surrounded Tang Yi and the carriage, and the other four continued to guard the four corners of the carriage, all looking at him with fierce eyes.
Tang Yi held his trouser pocket in one hand and a cigarette in the other, and calmly watched the coachman get off the car and open the carriage door, but it was the black lieutenant who came out of the carriage, and the lieutenant walked up to Tang Yi with an angry expression and said coldly: "The mayor wants to see you." ”
Through the lieutenant's anger, Tang Yi judged that it seemed that the mayor of the town already knew his true identity, which was normal, and the airship that sent him to office had deliberately passed over Sweetwater Town, so as the mayor of a town, if he didn't understand the purpose of the airship's appearance, would he be at ease.
Tang Yi threw the cigarette butt on the ground, turned his hands into his pockets and walked to the carriage, the two guards in front of the carriage turned over and dismounted, stood on both sides of the carriage door, and both of their hands pressed on their respective weapons.
At the same time, the four guards who were originally surrounding Tang Yi also followed him, and two of them even aimed their crossbows at his back, hehe, this is a blatant threat of intimidation.
As soon as he walked to the door of the carriage, the tall, thin and curly blonde guard on the left reached out to stop Tang Yi, his small eyes were full of disdain, the longbow on his back was not bad, the black iron recurve bow was a hundred times stronger than the old camel's broken wood bow.
At this time, the window of the carriage door revealed a round fat face, bald head, round ears and double chin, a very kind face, with a light smile on his face, and a deep gaze looking down at Tang Yi.
"Hehe, Battalion Commander Tang Yi, the space in the car is limited, I won't invite you to come up, I don't know why Battalion Commander Tang Yi stopped the truck that delivered to me?"
Tang Yi hates to look up and talk to people the most, and he is also a shameless person who wants to rob him of things, the most important thing is that he is in charge of this matter, and the records of the Shaman Military Region must also be the supplies delivered to him, so he is not afraid of trouble.
"Hah! The fat mayor is a person who understands, so let's not talk about those nonsense, I'm not greedy, and I don't want to be someone else's money, but I still have to live on this material, so I'm going to take half of it. ”
When the mayor heard Tang Yi call him fat, a cold glow flashed in his eyes.
"Hehe, young man, half of the truckload is a lot, do you have a lot of stuff on your back?"
The intimidating meaning of this sentence is even stronger, but Tang Yi has long known that today's matter cannot be resolved peacefully, anyway, he is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.
"Hehe, isn't there a truck, why should I carry it, fat mayor, your eyes are not very good, you have to pay more attention to your health, okay, since you agreed, then I will take the truck first, rest assured, I only unload half of the supplies, I am the most honest."
After Tang Yi finished speaking, he turned around and left, he didn't need to look back to feel the fierce light shooting behind him, but just as he was about to take a step, the curly-haired guard with the black iron recurve bow on his back stood in front of him, took off the black leather glove in his left hand, threw it at Tang Yi's feet, and said in a murderous cold voice.
"I'm going to duel you."
"...... uproar", the crowd standing on the street saw the curly-haired guard's behavior of throwing gloves, and immediately made a chaotic noise.
Duel? Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, is such a barbaric and backward behavior still allowed here? That's surprisingly exciting.
"Hehehe", the laughter of the fat mayor sounded behind him, "Battalion Commander Tang Yi, our Westworld is different from other places, allowing duels to deal with some disputes, if you lose or don't agree to the duel, then you can't take away what you want." ”
Tang Yi turned his head and looked at the mayor with a smile on his face, "Wouldn't it be a private duel to violate the laws of the country?" ”
"I'm so sorry, it's a tradition in our western world, protected by the laws of the country, hehe, young man, let's go back to your barracks, Sweetwater is really not the place for a kid like you."
After the mayor finished speaking, he actually moved his round head out of the car window, it seemed that he thought that Tang Yi would not dare to agree to the duel, no wonder he thought so, an idiot who offended others and was assigned here, even if he had a little background in his family, he must not have much power, and he could not make the town elder have any scruples at all.
"Well, I promise a duel."
As soon as Tang Yi's words fell, the noise of the crowd on the street became more intense, and he took the initiative to get out of the way, all of them stood on both sides, and at the same time, several people with black round curly brimmed hats appeared, these people immediately moved out of a shop and two tables, and then shouted loudly.
"The gambling game is opened, and 'Fast Arrow Gary' is against the major officer, one to ten."
Next Olympics! Doesn't the master have a little bit of "Wang Ba's spirit"? It's too embarrassing to pay 10.
"Hey! Old camel, lend me some money. ”
Tang Yi ignored the curly-haired guards who had already walked to the East Street, and shouted loudly at the old camel who was still standing in the roadside pit in the distance, but the old camel didn't even look at him, and began to dig the pit again.
This old camel, no wonder the poor gnaw hard cakes every day, and they don't know how to grasp such a good opportunity to invest and make money, Tang Yi thought about it and walked to the door of the carriage again, stretched his neck through the door and shouted.
"Hey! Dear mayor, lend me some money, and I'll pay you back twice as much in a while. ”
"Hahaha......"
The ridicule of the other guards suddenly sounded around, but Tang Yi ignored it and continued to speak shamelessly.
"As the mayor of such a big Sweetwater Town, and the management of Sweetwater Town is so good, I know at a glance that the mayor is not a stingy person, you lend me a hundred gold coins, and I will pay you back two hundred in a while, I know that the mayor doesn't look down on this little money, but mosquito legs are also meat, such a good opportunity to make money, you have to seize it."
"Hehehe", accompanied by happy laughter, the mayor's round head appeared in the car window again, "Young man, I just laughed at you just now, this gold coin is given to you." ”
"Ding!"
The mayor of the town threw a gold coin out to Tang Yi, Tang Yi reached out to catch it, and then walked towards the group of people who had opened a gambling game on East Street, muttering loudly at the same time.
"Whew! No wonder he is so fat, he doesn't just by eating, he is so stingy, so he will give a gold coin. ”
Suddenly, the happy smile on the mayor's face disappeared, and it became extremely cold.
Tang Yi struggled to squeeze into the crowd of bets, slapped a gold coin in his hand on the table, and shouted loudly: "I buy an officer to win." ”
In an instant, the area around the originally noisy gaming table was quiet, and everyone turned their heads to look at Tang Yi, their expressions and eyes were particularly interesting, as if they were mentally retarded.
After making a bet for himself, Tang Yi finally walked towards the curly-haired guard who had been waiting for him for a long time, at this time, the curly-haired guard stood in the middle of the street, holding a black iron bow in his left hand, and his right hand hung in front of the quiver on his side, staring at Tang Yi who was walking towards him with a cruel smile.
Suddenly, a kind-hearted person who was worried that the duel process was too boring shouted at Tang Yi, "Hey! Stop, stranger, you will be shot if you go any further, and what about your crossbow? ”
"Bow and crossbow? What bow and crossbow? ”
"Buzz ......", Tang Yi's rhetorical question made the conversation of the surrounding townspeople louder, I don't know if any of these people bought Tang Yiying with a hot head, if there is, it is estimated that the intestines are repentant at this time.
"Bang", an ordinary wooden bow and quiver fell from the sky and threw it in front of Tang Yi, looking up at the balcony on the second floor next to him, a strong man with combed back hair, full beard, and only a white vest on his upper body, showing strong muscles was looking at him with a cigar in his mouth.
"Boy, this bow is lent to you, if you kill 'Quick Arrow Gary', I'll give you a hundred gold coins, how about it?"
Tang Yi noticed that as soon as the strong man with a cigar opened his mouth, all the surroundings became quiet, and this person dared to blatantly provoke the mayor's guards, the so-called dog beating still depends on the owner, presumably this person's identity is not so simple, could it be the "madman Grace" that the old camel said?
Tang Yi didn't pick up the bow on the ground, but asked the strong man on the balcony, "Do you have to use a bow and arrows in a duel?" ”
The strong man spat out a puff of cigarette, leaned on the guardrail of the balcony with both hands, and replied with interest: "Before the duel begins, the two sides must be a hundred paces apart, and pulling out the arrow shaft or entering the range of a hundred steps is regarded as the beginning of the duel, do you understand?" ”
Oh, it turns out that there are such rules for duels, and at the same time, Tang Yi also understands why the people here are all carrying bows and crossbows, it turns out that it is not the defensive sand bandit he guessed at all, but to duel at any time! Tsk, the folk customs here are really strong.
"Thank you, can you give me the hundred gold coins first, that fat mayor was too stingy just now, so he lent me a gold coin, I really don't know how such a stingy person can become the mayor? Not worthy at all, I think you're more suitable to be mayor than that fat man. ”
"Hahaha......"
The strong man laughed heartily and heartily, and pointed at Tang Yi with his hand holding the cigar, "Boy, your straightforward sycophant is very comfortable, okay, your bet is even a hundred gold coins." ”
Tang Yi smiled, turned his gaze back to the curly-haired guard a hundred steps away from the long street, put his hands in his pockets, and took a relaxed and casual step.
One hundred steps, in fact, is more than fifty meters, Tang Yi's current speed is less than two seconds of one hundred meters, so fifty meters is really close to him.
Just when he had just stepped into the range of a hundred steps, the curly-haired guard's hands instantly burst out with a light cluster of seventh-level martial arts, and at the same time, a sharp arrow had reached his face, but Tang Yi tilted his head slightly, and the sharp arrow grazed his ear, and then everyone only saw an afterimage, and this idiot officer disappeared on the spot.
It stands to reason that the speed of the seventh-level martial ability is not much slower than Tang Yi, but before the curly-haired guard could retreat, he felt that his neck was pinched by a powerful big hand, and there was a strong pain and suffocation in an instant, and then he felt that he was pressed heavily on the ground, and he was pushed to rub and slide backwards rapidly.
