"What do you mean by 'what else do I want'?"
Chu Mo looked at the middle-aged man and said, "The ones who stopped me were you guys!"
"The ones who wanted to rob me were also you guys!"
"Now that you can't beat me, you're still asking me what else do I want?"
"From the beginning to the end, it was you guys who pressed on!"
The middle-aged man immediately breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "Although this little thing is so powerful that it makes people feel afraid, he is still a fledgling after all. If he were an adult, I'm afraid none of us would be able to leave here alive today. "
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "Little hero, we were blind before and offended you. We are really sorry."
After saying that, he bowed to Chu Mo and said, "Now, we have received the punishment we deserve. You see … my brothers are all seriously injured. Can you … let us go? Let them get treatment? Otherwise, they will all die! "
Chu Mo looked at the middle-aged man and he was struggling inside.
He was not a fool. He remembered clearly what his grandfather had taught him since he was young. He knew that if he let this group of people go, there would be endless trouble in the future. He was carrying such a large amount of wealth on him. It would be strange if this group of people could really turn back and give up.
The road ahead would probably be even more difficult!
However, knowing it was one thing, doing it … was another.
No matter what, he was only thirteen years old this year. Unless there was a deep hatred between them, it would be very difficult for him to kill someone with a knife. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to do so.
Chu Mo hesitated in his heart. In the end, his kind side won. He looked at the middle-aged man and said seriously, "You don't have to scare me. You guys are not good people!"
"You look like a group of adventurers, but you immediately surrounded and robbed others when you saw their wealth. Obviously, before this … you guys have done this kind of thing before!"
The middle-aged man was startled. His face revealed an awkward expression as he said, "You've misunderstood … We, we're not the kind of people you're talking about. It's just … it's just that little hero, you're young, so we want to bully you, really …"
Chu Mo glanced at him and said, "I won't kill you today. But remember, if I run into another robber, I'll kill you. Once it's proven that it's related to you, you better pray that you don't run into me again. "
"This world is very big, and the heavens and earth are vast. However, sometimes, the world is also very small. Who knows, we might meet again somewhere."
"Take care of yourselves!"
As Chu Mo spoke, he glanced at the middle-aged man before leading a horse over. "This horse, consider it my interest!"
As he spoke, he mounted his horse and whipped it away.
Only when Chu Mo's figure disappeared from his sight did the middle-aged man stomp his foot with a gloomy expression. "Damn it!"
The few uninjured people beside him were currently treating those who had fallen to the ground. Among them, a young man in his twenties shouted with a sobbing tone, "Old Wang, we've been played by that little bastard. He's too ruthless …"
"What's wrong?" The middle-aged man's face was filled with killing intent as he gritted his teeth and asked.
"That kid … crippled a few of our brothers. Their vitality has dissipated … We can't use martial arts anymore, sob sob!" The young man said as he began to cry.
"Cry your mother!" The middle-aged man shouted angrily, then gritted his teeth and said, "What a vicious little bastard. Crippling people is no different from killing them!"
"You're still threatening me before you leave. Little thing, if I let you leave this grassland peacefully, I'll write my surname backwards!" The middle-aged man swore as he roared.
The young man who had just been scolded by Old Wang said weakly, "Your surname is the same even if it's written backwards …"
"Get lost!" The middle-aged man kicked the young man away, then took out a whistle and blew it.
Strangely, there was no sound. But after a while, a black light appeared in the sky. It was an eagle. It descended from the sky and landed on Old Wang's shoulder.
Old Wang took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote a few words. He then tied the pen to the eagle's leg and fed it a piece of raw meat.
The eagle held the meat in its mouth, flapped its wings and flew high into the sky.
Old Wang spat out a mouthful of turbid air. He gritted his teeth and said, "A child carrying a gold brick in a busy market … If you want to die, then I'll fulfill your wish!"
On the other hand, after Chu Mo snatched a horse, he galloped madly towards the grassland.
Chu Mo vaguely remembered that his grandfather had told him about this grassland. It was located in the north of Da Qi and belonged to Da Qi in name.
But in reality, the nomads of this grassland were the ones who controlled it.
This grassland was very fertile and rich in resources. Moreover, it produced high-grade warhorses.
Nearly three-fifths of the warhorses in Da Qi's army came from this grassland. But it was difficult to completely subdue it.
The Great Qi Dynasty had fought against the nomads of the grassland several times, but they had never succeeded.
These nomads were very familiar with this grassland. They followed the philosophy of 'if we can win, we fight; if we can't, we run'. Therefore, this grassland had always been the biggest headache for the Da Qi emperors.
The relationship between Da Qi and Da Xia could not be considered harmonious. It could even be said that there was enmity between them.
Since ancient times, no one knew how many times they had fought each other. But in the last twenty years, things had been peaceful. Apart from the occasional friction, both sides were friendly most of the time.
However, the old man had said that peace would not last for many years. All these years, Daqi had been conserving its strength and had adopted a conciliatory policy towards the nomadic tribes in the northern grasslands. However, in reality, it had secretly laid out many schemes.
Once these schemes were used, it would be able to completely subdue the northern grassland. When that time came, Da Qi would be strong and powerful.
In that case, the war with the Great Xia was about to begin.
"Since I'm going to traverse this grassland this time, why don't I just explore this place and see if it's real? I can give grandfather some useful information when I get back! Chu Mo narrowed his eyes as he rode against the wind.
"Hey, why did you let those people go? They clearly wanted to kill you! "
A voice as clear as a lark's rang out from behind Chu Mo. Chu Mo wasn't surprised. Qi Xiaoyu had always been this elusive.
"Those people are no longer resisting, and I've crippled a few of them who tried to kill me. Even if they recover, they won't be able to use their origin power again. They'll be ordinary people for the rest of their lives. Isn't this punishment enough? "Chu Mo asked coolly without turning back.
"I don't think it's enough." Qi Xiaoyu walked up to Chu Mo and glanced at the horse. "Did you know that their leader immediately sent word after you left? I'm afraid your journey won't be peaceful."
"I knew it!" Chu Mo retorted angrily. "I knew those shameless bastards wouldn't keep their word!"
Qi Xiaoyu glanced at him. "If you knew, why did you let them go? Wouldn't it have been more straightforward to just kill them? That would have saved us a lot of trouble. "
Chu Mo stared blankly at Qi Xiaoyu. "How can you be so cruel?"
Qi Xiaoyu retorted angrily. "How can you say that about me? I'm warning you out of goodwill, but you say I'm cruel and won't bother with you anymore! "With that, she drifted away in a flash.
She left Chu Mo standing there in a daze for a long time. Then, he shook his head in a daze. "Did I say something wrong?" he murmured.
Sighing softly, the thirteen-year-old boy's handsome but immature face revealed a rare pensive expression. He sat on the horse's back, pondering as he traveled slowly.
Often, right and wrong weren't absolute.
It was a bit far-fetched to expect a naive thirteen-year-old to be cold-blooded and decisive.
Night fell. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The view was excellent, and the world was quiet.
Chu Mo's heart was restless. He felt that he'd gone too far in speaking to Qi Xiaoyu earlier in the day.
Although this girl was very mysterious and appeared and disappeared unpredictably, she had helped him a lot along the way. Although their relationship couldn't be said to be very good, at least they could be considered friends who could talk to each other.
"Maybe my words today hurt her. Maybe she won't talk to me anymore?" Lying on the grass, Chu Mo looked up at the starry sky with melancholy.
The black horse that was snatched from the bandits was quietly grazing on the grass at the side.
Suddenly, Chu Mo heard the sound of hooves in the distance. It seemed to be heading in his direction.
Chu Mo's heart skipped a beat. Then, he saw a black shadow fly past the bright moon.
"Damn it!" Chu Mo finally realized that the other party had been watching him all this time.
Grumbling, Chu Mo jumped onto the horse's back and galloped in the opposite direction.
Suddenly, a string of torches lit up behind him. At the same time, several arrows landed not far behind Chu Mo.
Chu Mo was both shocked and angry. It seemed that these people wouldn't stop until they achieved their goal. As he galloped away, Chu Mo thought to himself, You're right, Qi Xiaoyu. It's better to kill these people directly. Otherwise, there'll be endless trouble in the future!
"I've been too soft-hearted!"
"I was wrong!"
Chu Mo looked back and saw the silhouettes of many dao knights in the distance.
"Chase him! Don't let him get away!"
"That kid has a lot of soul beast tendons, bones, and hides on him! They're priceless!"
"If we catch him, we'll be able to split the gold, drink the wine, and feast on the meat!"
Awooo!
Cries of joy rang out in the night sky above the grassland.
Forty to fifty riders formed a huge fan-shaped formation as they chased after Chu Mo.
