"This carriage of mine can actually seat twenty-two people. I only allowed twenty people to board because I didn't want you all to be too crowded."
"Since this little brother is so loyal, I will also be a good person and send you to Sand City for free!" However, at this moment, the old coachman suddenly said to the crowd. Then, he looked at Xing Jue with an appreciative gaze.
"Thank you, old man!" Seeing this, Xing Jue cupped his hands towards the old coachman to express his gratitude!
In fact, he admired this coachman a little. Although he was only an intermediate Battle-Saint and his aura wasn't strong, he was quite quick-witted.
From the moment he told the passengers that his carriage could seat twenty-two people and then invited Xing Jue to board, it could be seen that he had a rich life experience.
If he told them that the carriage could only seat twenty people, but he still let Xing Jue board, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the passengers.
However, if the carriage could seat twenty-two people, it would be completely different. Although the passengers would still be dissatisfied, they could only endure it.
As expected, after listening to the old coachman's words, no one refuted him. Xing Jue successfully boarded the carriage. After boarding, Xing Jue realized that although the carriage wasn't very big, it wasn't as crowded as they said.
There were three rows of seats in the carriage. The small row of seats at the front was occupied by Liu Lele and Ma Qiang. The two of them didn't seem to be crowded at all. As for the two vertical rows of seats that were shared by the remaining nineteen people, it was still passable for nineteen people.
"Old man, what's up with the bandits that you mentioned earlier? Could it be that there are people who dare to rob here? "After boarding the carriage, Xing Jue asked curiously.
"Yes, there have always been bandits. Speaking of which, those bandits are also the citizens of the dynasty."
"Because their lives are too poor, they became bandits. They usually hide in the remote forests between the counties and rob people who walk alone. They rarely rob carriages like ours."
"However, a group of extremely powerful bandits has appeared recently. This group of bandits consists of dozens of people and many of them are mid-level Battle-Saints. Especially the bandit leader, he wields a spirit weapon and can be said to be incomparably valiant. It is said that many carriages have been robbed by them!" Seeing Xing Jue's question, the elder explained in detail.
"There's actually such a thing? Why didn't they inform the Heavenly Secret Battalion about this? Or the surrounding government offices? "Xing Jue asked in confusion.
"Sigh, why would the Divine Secret Battalion care about such a small matter? Unless something happens to the great figures of the Imperial City, they won't easily take action. After all, they are the most elite troops of the Empire."
"As for the county government, sigh, it's not that they don't care, they simply don't dare to care."
"In the past, they could still deal with the young bandits. However, when it comes to bandits that are abnormally powerful, they are no match for them at all." The elder sighed helplessly.
"Sigh, old man, what do you mean by that?" However, at this moment, Liu Lele shouted at the elder with extreme dissatisfaction. As the young mistress of the county government and the daughter of the county lord, she was naturally unwilling to hear such words from the elder.
After hearing Liu Lele's words, the elder was also greatly shocked. He had almost forgotten about Liu Lele's special identity. Immediately, beads of sweat the size of beans soaked his entire body. Even his body began to tremble uncontrollably. He seemed to want to explain something but did not know where to start.
"I'm talking to an old man, why are you interrupting?"
Seeing how frightened the elder was, Xing Jue's expression changed slightly. He turned his head and said to Liu Lele. One should know that Xing Jue had always been protective of his people. Although he had not known the elder and Xiao Ming for long, he would not allow outsiders to bully them.
Moreover, Xing Jue's sharp gaze frightened Liu Lele so much that her entire body trembled. After that, she actually did not dare to say anything because she actually felt a fatal danger from Xing Jue's sharp gaze.
Seeing this, Ma Qiang suddenly shouted at Xing Jue loudly, "Hey, do you know who my cousin is?"
Seeing this, Ma Qiang suddenly shouted at Xing Jue loudly. Keep your mouths shut when I'm talking to an old man! "
The tone of the sentence was not serious, but it was filled with an aura that made everyone present feel uneasy. It was even more terrifying than a loud roar.
In the face of Xing Jue's aura, Ma Qiang, who had wanted to stand up for Liu Lele earlier, actually trembled. He was actually afraid, and the reason for his fear was exactly the same as Liu Lele's. Although this fear was indescribable, it caused him to no longer dare to go against Xing Jue.
"Big Brother Xing Jue, she, she is the young mistress of our county."
"Her father is the county magistrate, the county lord. He is in charge of more than ten villages in the surrounding area. So, do not offend him."
At this moment, Xiao Ming, who was sitting beside Xing Jue, used his small hand to tug at the corner of Xing Jue's clothes and reminded him in a low voice.
Looking at Xiao Ming's bright eyes that contained a trace of pleading, Xing Jue instantly understood what he meant.
These people all came from the same place, but Xiao Ming and his grandfather were not even from the county. They were just people from a small village outside the county. For people like them, of course, they would not dare to offend Liu Lele.
"I'm sorry, both of you. Just now, I, Xing Jue, was too harsh. Please forgive me!" Suddenly, Xing Jue cupped his hands and said with a faint smile.
As the saying goes, a powerful dragon cannot suppress a snake in its territory. Even if Xing Jue could protect Xiao Ming and his grandfather now, he could not protect them forever. If Liu Lele really made things difficult for Xiao Ming and his grandfather in the future, he would not know. At that time, he would be harming Xiao Ming and his grandfather.
"Humph, if the county government's car did not break down, why would I be squeezed in this dirty place with you ignorant villagers?"
"But let me remind you, don't forget your identity. Unless you don't want to stay in the village in the future! "
Seeing that Xing Jue actually compromised, Liu Lele instantly became confident. He actually stood up and pointed at the crowd and warned them loudly.
"Forget it, cousin. Why should you be angry with this kind of person?"
"I think he is just afraid of the name of a robber. He thinks that you, a weak girl, are easy to bully, so he yelled at you and used you to boost his courage."
"Now that we know your identity, cousin, what do you think? Are you scared? Are you scared? Didn't you apologize? So, don't be angry with this kind of person. It's not worth it. "
Seeing that Liu Lele warned them so arrogantly, Xing Jue was extremely angry. When he was about to shed all pretense of cordiality and teach this arrogant girl a lesson, he did not expect that Ma Qiang, who was beside Liu Lele, would suddenly mock Xing Jue.
But at this moment, Xing Jue's anger disappeared. Instead, he laughed in his heart. He laughed at Liu Lele and Ma Qiang's ignorance. At this moment, an idea suddenly came into Xing Jue's mind.
That was to let Liu Lele and Ma Qiang be arrogant and domineering. Then, when they arrived at Sand City, he would let them know that there was always someone better than them. Xing Jue wanted to see if they could still be as proud as they were now!
One had to know that one could endure anything except being bullied and being humiliated. Originally, he had wanted to take a step back. After all, he still had important matters to attend to after returning to Sand City, so he didn't want to be entangled with the people here.
However, Liu Lele and Ma Qiang were so arrogant and despotic. Their behavior of bullying the weak and fearing the strong had changed Xing Chen's mind. Xing Chen wanted them to remember this, and this memory was something that they would never forget for the rest of their lives, because it would be a pain for the rest of their lives.
"Sigh, he is indeed a fake tiger."
"It seems that the story of him killing the rabbit-eared bear is also fake."
"I think so too!"
"A person who bullies the weak and fears the strong!"
However, the most unexpected thing was that the previously arrogant Xing Jue actually endured Ma Qiang's ridicule after knowing Liu Lele's special identity. The crowd in the car began to discuss spiritedly. They all felt that Xing Jue was a fake tiger who acted arrogant in front of the weak, but became a useless person in front of the strong.
"You all …"
After hearing the crowd's discussion, Xiao Ming, who was saved by Xing Jue, was indignant. However, just as he was about to stand up and argue with the crowd, Xing Jue covered his mouth and signaled him not to speak.
Looking at Xing Jue's slightly narrowed eyes, the index finger in front of his mouth, and the indifferent smile on his face, Xiao Ming understood what Xing Jue meant. The smart Xiao Ming understood the meaning of the sentence. Then, he pursed his lips angrily. However, he did not say anything else and allowed those people to continue their nonsense.
After that, Liu Lele and Ma Qiang became even more complacent. They ridiculed and ridiculed Xing Jue in all sorts of ways. However, in Xing Jue's eyes, it was like two clowns performing acrobatics in front of him. It was extremely amusing.
"Boom"
However, just as the two carriages were about to leave the boundless forest, a loud sound suddenly came from below. Then, everyone felt a powerful force coming from behind and pushing them into the carriage.
"Wa ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
"Ah ~ ~ ~ ~"
In an instant, a dozen villagers shot toward Liu Lele and Ma Qiang who were in front of the carriage like arrows. The powerful force knocked them heavily. Only Xiao Ming and his grandfather, who were tightly held by Xing Jue, were not affected by the force and were not injured at all.
"What's going on? Old coachman, why are you steering the carriage? "
"All of you, get lost! Stay away from me!!!!!"
Suddenly, the furious voice of Liu Lele, who was tightly pressed down by a dozen villagers, rang out. At that moment, everyone realized that the carriage had suddenly stopped without any warning.
"Oh, boss, there's actually a girl. It seems that we're really lucky this time!"
"I wonder what kind of goods they are. If they're good goods, all of us will have a share!"
"Hahaha, boss is too good to us."
"Stop flattering me. Quickly call them out. We're robbing during the day, so we must end it quickly!"
However, just as Liu Lele shouted angrily, he regretted it. That was because an unfamiliar man's voice came from outside the carriage. That appearance …
"People in the carriage, listen up. Line up in an orderly manner and get off the carriage. If anyone dares to resist, I'll cut off your head!"
Just as everyone was guessing, a voice filled with male desire suddenly rang out from outside the carriage. At that moment, there was no need for anyone to guess. Their faces were filled with fear because their guesses had all been verified. They had encountered bandits!
