Chapter 507

Xuzhou, Luofeng City.

To be precise, Luofeng City no longer belongs to Xuzhou. In order to balance the forces of all aspects, Li Letian received the support of all families and sealed the eighteen princes and kings in one go.

Li Xingzai was named the king of Xiaoyao, and his fief was in Luofeng City, Xuzhou. In fact, when he left Chang'an City, Li Xingzai was still full of ambition. After all, although the situation in Luofeng City was bad, it was already good compared to Li Xingya's previous experience.

He wandered all over the world, followed Cheng Dalei as a thief for three years, and was a puppet in the hands of Cui Xiang for more than half a year. There is not a single soldier under his command, and the so-called puppet is naturally pointed by others, and he has to run there.

But later Cui Xiang abandoned Li Xingzai and landed in Fengcheng, although the foundation of Luofeng City was very bad. But after all, it's his own territory, and then again, no matter how bad the foundation of Luofeng City is, can it be worse than the foundation of Qingniu Mountain Toad Village. When Cheng Dalei was first born, there was only one thin horse and five people.

Now it's not all over the world, mentioning Cheng Dalei's name, although everyone gritted their teeth with hatred, but no one is afraid and respectful.

Even if the start is worse, it's better to have a territory than no territory, and if you endure it for a few years, you can always free up a piece of the world.

With this thought in mind, Li Xingzai left Chang'an and ran to Luofeng City. I also encountered several assassinations on the way, and I vaguely felt that someone was secretly helping me, but I couldn't find out who it was. In the end, he used a trick to cheat his death, and came to Luofeng City unknowingly.

Li Xingzai was quite satisfied with his plan, and he was a little complacent. However, when he arrived in Luofeng City, he realized how bad the situation was.

The population of the city is 100,000, but in fact it is far from that much, only some registered residents, mostly old and weak, women and children.

So where have all the men in their prime gone?

They all went to be pirates and bandits.

Luofeng City is near the sea, and pirates are often found, and the middle-aged men in the city, but those who can carry knives are either taken away by bandits or taken away by pirates.

Therefore, there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the city. When he entered the city for the first time, Li Xingzai led his horse to walk in the city, and saw that the four houses were withering, and there were almost no shops on both sides of the street. Li Xingzai's first feeling: This is a dead city.

The youngest strength of a city is gone, like a man emasculated from his waist, lifeless, dying, and dying of age.

There is no anger, this is the first difficulty of Luofeng City. The second difficulty is that the pirates and bandits make trouble, and they come to the city from time to time to shoot once. The key is that Luofeng City is already poor to this extent, what else is there to be strong.

These two difficulties have made Li Xingzai helpless, but there is a third difficulty, which is the geographical location of Luofeng City. Luofeng City is located in Xuzhou, and is close to Yangzhou and Yanzhou, which is the gap between the three forces. If Li Xingya gritted his teeth and endured it, it is estimated that no one will move him, but as long as he tosses a little bit of movement. The Prime Minister's Mansion, the General's Mansion, and Yangzhou Li Xing will not watch him become bigger.

In this way, this is the situation that Li Xingya is facing.

"King Xiaoyao, King Xiaoyao, your grandmother has a big chicken leg ......"

In the kitchen, Li Xingzai scolded, chopped off a piece of dry wood with an axe, and threw it into the stove.

He has already lived in the city lord's mansion, and now he has no ability to rest and improve and build a royal mansion. The previous city lord was killed by pirates, and there was not a single servant in the city lord's mansion. Li Xingzai has to make his own fire and cook every day, and Li Xingzai doesn't know how to do this kind of thing, after all, he has been wandering alone for many years.

Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, seven things to open the door, each one costs money. And Li Xingzai didn't have a penny on his account, and now he had to go up the mountain to chop wood and borrow rice for the pot.

Li Xingya finally understood one thing, the most important thing now is not the issue of development, but the issue of survival. Maybe one day, I will have to starve to death in the city lord's mansion, woo hoo lament, how tragic.

Suddenly there was a shout of killing outside, and someone shouted: "The pirates are coming, the pirates are coming." ”

When Li Xingzai heard this movement, he scolded viciously. Carrying a firewood knife in his right hand, he thought about it and picked up a burning stick, and limped out of the city lord's mansion.

"Grab it every day, grab it every day, make this your back garden!"

He left the street and saw a dozen pirates looting. The pirates did not often count in the thousands, but in small groups of seven or eight people or a dozen people. Because Luofeng City is only a small city, there are no soldiers to defend, they are always on the scene to rob the people, and some women and children are often taken away by them.

Now more than a dozen pirates are unscrupulous on the long street, and the people flee in panic, and those who can't escape are killed by the pirates with a knife, in exchange for the pirates' laughter.

Seeing this scene, Li Xingzai was angry from his heart, and he shouted in his mouth: "Well, your grandfather Li is here, and you and other wolf-hearted gangsters dare to kill my people, and quickly come to my knife to die." ”

He stood in the middle of the long street, and protected the people behind him. The people all knew that there was a free king in Luofeng City, but they didn't take it seriously, and today was the first time they met.

One of the men in the Li family is counted as one, although his head is often confused, but there is never a coward.

Li Xingzai has no soldiers to send today, no generals to send, only a knife and a stick in his hand, but in the face of more than a dozen pirates, what is he afraid of.

Carrying a knife and slashing with everyone, he first overturned one with a firewood knife, and then attracted pirates to attack and surrounded Li Xingzai in the middle of the fight.

Li Xingzai hit him far away with a stick and cut close with a knife. He is not a weak scholar who is powerless, but kung fu is not good after all, and there is really no way to face enemies who surpass him too much.

Let's go!

Li Xingzai let out a long sigh, thinking in his heart, I will die if I die today. died to protect the people, and after it was spread, it also let the world know that my Li family had no seeds.

At this time, a man was killed from behind the pirate, who was still young, about ten years old, carrying an iron spear, and killed all the way. The moves were fierce, the attack was ruthless, and the spear stabbed a few times, and he was in one place with Li Xingzai, and fought outward together.

Li Xingzai saw that this young general was so good, and he had confidence in his heart, and he was even more powerful. The two joined forces and beat the dozen or so pirates into the desert and fled, and the slow ones escaped were shot by the young general, piercing the heart.

Li Xingzai wiped the blood from his forehead, looked at the young general with three eyes, and said: "Thank you, if it weren't for you today, I really don't know what to do." ”

The young general also looked at Li Xingzai and said, "Is Your Excellency Li Xingzai, the King of Freedom?"

"Huh. Li Xingzai waved his hand: "Shame, shame." By the way, what's your name?"

The young general suddenly knelt down and said: "The king of Xiaoyao is above, and a certain family of relatives Jiguang has come to take refuge." ”
