Chapter 489 Copycat

Goose City, stone city wall.

The county magistrate, Ma Bangde, was wearing a suit of armor and pacing back and forth restlessly on the city wall. Surrounded by a circle of nervous and frightened government officials and a small number of city defenders.

Now Taoist Master Siemens is going to chase those White Lotus Demons,

It would be okay if the Taoist priest returns in triumph.

But if the plan fails,

Even the White Lotus demon came to Goose City out of revenge...

Then we can only let mortals like them go up first.

Mabond squeezed his stiff and cold shoulders. The armor did not fit well and could not accommodate his already out-of-shape figure. It was quite twisted when worn on his body.

Coupled with the biting cold wind blowing from high places and the crawling hunger in the waist and abdomen,

Mabond almost thought he was back in the dream world.

"Go down below and bring some broth up, and give some to everyone."

Magistrate Ma whispered instructions to the Yamen servant beside him and sighed imperceptibly.

To be an official and protect the people of a country,

Many people only think that the White Lotus Sect is a holy religion that saves suffering and saves all sentient beings.

But they don’t know that what the White Lotus Sect is best at is hiding in the dark and instigating foolish men and women to break into the county government, cooperate with the refugees to rebel, loot the city, burn, kill and loot, causing harm to one party.

In the end, all the responsibility was shifted to the rebels, and they could also come forward to comfort and save the suffering people and win people's hearts.

As the county magistrate, Mabond cannot let Echeng follow in the footsteps of those destroyed county towns.

He has distributed the weapons in the Wude Guard armory to the officers and soldiers guarding the city.

I hope that when the White Lotus Demon comes, he can scare them away with the help of magic weapons, strong city walls, and strength in numbers...

"Look, sir!"

The eyes of a government official holding a torch lit up and he pointed to a dark corner outside the city gate.

Mabond squinted and saw a Taoist wearing a black cloak walking out of the dark forest and arriving outside the gate of Goose City.

It was Li Ang.

"Priest Siemens is back?"

Mabond was overjoyed and quickly ordered: "Open the city gate quickly... No, wait, keep the city gate closed and put a hanging basket down from the city wall."

The White Lotus Sect is full of tricks, and some of them are demons who are good at changing their disguises, so you have to be on guard against them.

The hanging basket was lowered from the city wall by the officers and soldiers. Before it was dropped halfway, Li Ang grabbed the crack in the wall with his fingers, kicked on the outside of the city wall a few times with his feet, and easily climbed up to the top of the city wall.

Ignoring the officers and soldiers who were guarding the city as if they were facing a formidable enemy, they bowed their hands towards Mabond and said with a smile: "Magistrate Ma can have a peaceful sleep tonight.

Those White Lotus demons were hit by Pindao's thunderbolt, and all of them were seriously injured. They fled in a hurry. They should not invade Goose City in a short time. "

"That would be great."

Mabond finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to ask Taoist Siemens who the prison robbers were from the White Lotus Sect so that he could explain to the Wude guards who would arrive tomorrow.

But when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.

The White Lotus Sect has severely corrupted the imperial court. Maybe at this moment, there are followers of the White Lotus Sect lurking on this tower.

Taoist priest Siemens probably killed one or several White Lotus demons, but he said he was repelling them out of some consideration.

And judging from the Taoist priest's appearance, he doesn't seem to want to get into trouble with Wu Dewei...

"Well, since the Wude guards will arrive at Goose City tomorrow, Pindao will be fine. Let's just say goodbye."

Li Ang waved his sleeves, jumped up vigorously, stepped on the outside of the city wall, went down to the outside of the city gate, and ran into the dark night with long strides.

————————

Very far away, in the mountains.

Two figures, a man and a woman, were running wildly on the narrow mountain road. The man was bare-chested and carried a broadsword on his back, while the woman wore luxurious furs and a soft sword belt around her waist.

It is Yiyeqing and the owl viper.

The two of them climbed the hillside and came to a mountain village set up in a cave.

The village was brightly lit, and the young bandit squatting on the arrow tower used the torches on both sides of the mountain road to see the figures of Yiyeqingqing and the owl viper. His face was filled with joy, and he clasped his two fingers together and put them into his mouth. Blow a whistle,

"The boss is back!"

The village suddenly became lively. Several bandits who were ranked below the two men got up and brought people to greet them. They greeted Yiyeqing and the owl viper snake into the cave.

"Where is my son?"

The owl viper sat on the tiger leather seat in the cave, with a stiff face, and asked his men coldly.

The son he was talking about was a child adopted by his wife Yiyeqing for fun. After raising him for three or two years, he gradually developed feelings for her. If Yiyeqing still couldn't give birth to a child in the future, maybe let him Come and inherit this cottage.

"Go back to the headmaster's house. The young master has already gone to bed."

The owl viper python nodded and said expressionlessly: "Call him, and everyone in the village, and call them in. I have something important to announce."

The little bandit leaders' hearts skipped a beat, and they looked at each other, unable to conceal their excitement.

They have long heard that the first and second masters have the background of the White Lotus Sect. If what Owl Viper said today is that he wants to join the White Lotus Sect,

That's much better than staying in the deep mountains and forests to rob roads and rob homes.

The bandits didn't dare to neglect, and soon made friends with everyone, including the adopted son who was usually regarded as his own by Yi Yeqing.

Owl Viper and Yi Yeqing sat on the tiger leather seats and glanced at all the bandits in the cave, "Are they all here?"

"Back at the headmaster's house, everyone is here, including the cooks. Only the few hostages kidnapped a few days ago are still locked up in the prison in the back mountain."

"very good."

The owl viper's eyes finally focused on the fifteen-year-old son who had grown a light beard, and said hoarsely: "Ten days ago, you went down the mountain to rob, robbed a woman, and went up the mountain to ask for ransom from her family. ,

His parents lost everything and borrowed money from relatives in the neighborhood to collect the ransom, but what they got in the end was a mutilated body hanging on a tree by the river.

Is this possible? "

The young man touched his short hair with some confusion. His father and mother had already known about this matter. They praised him for his two-person style at the beginning, but why did he mention it again today.

However, the owl viper python is usually dignified and solemn, and does not smile or speak.

He had no choice but to bow his head upright and said softly: "That's what happened. I saw that the woman was quite pretty. I originally wanted to tell my mother that I wanted to marry her to be the wife of the cottage in the future, but she refused and refused. Injured the child,

The child had no choice but to lock her up, but he didn't expect her to be beaten so easily that she died after a few blows.

Originally, the child wanted to enjoy her and give it to his brothers as a reward. "

"good."

The owl viper python nodded lightly, picked up the big knife at his feet, and slashed diagonally.

Blood was scattered in the air, his head was spinning, and there was still a faint, somewhat smug smile on the young man's face.

The headless corpse fell to its knees,

There was an uproar and screams.

The owl viper stood up, drew his sword and slashed at the bandit.

Yi Yeqing beside him drew out his soft sword, expressionlessly cut off the rope at the cave's exit, lowered the wooden door, and blocked the way out for all bandits.

The shouts of killing and begging for mercy were loud,

For a moment, everything was silent,

The heavy wooden door was smashed into pieces with a knife.

Including the head, the owl viper python and Yiye Qing walked out of the cave side by side.

Their faces were still expressionless, and their bodies were covered with bright red blood and covered with large and small wounds, but not even a drop of their own blood flowed out of the wounds.

The green fluff slowly pierces the surface of the skin, flying in the wind, absorbing all the blood, and gently caressing all kinds of scars, allowing them to heal.

Time to hit the road.

The beings who used to be Owl Viper and Yiyeqing twisted their stiff necks, rummaged through the village to find a few simple coats, put them on, and continued walking towards Luzhou.

No one noticed that there were two strange-looking insects flying in the sky above them.

Their appearance is the same as the ordinary scout soldier bees transformed by Li Ang using the biological master template, but their heads are unusually large and as heavy as a watermelon.

It makes people worry whether they will suddenly fall while flying.

Surrounding these two strange bugs were four ordinary scout soldier bees, guarding them and heading north together.

In the early morning of the next day, a dozen hostages in the dungeon at the back of the cottage were shocked to find that the chains of the cell where they were being held had been cut off at some point.

After escaping hastily, they found that not even a single bandit was visible in the village.

All the bandits have disappeared.
