"You lowly commoners deserve to die. You're all going to accompany my brother-in-law in death," said the captain coldly. He had never planned on letting these refugees off. Even if he had to take the money, he would still kill these refugees and Ye Lang to take revenge for his brother-in-law.
Perhaps it should be said that this wasn't considered revenge, but rather to prove his own dignity, to prove that he couldn't be disobeyed.
If this time, the captain's brother-in-law had been killed and he didn't pursue the matter, then he would feel that these people would very quickly go and kill some of his own people. In the end, it would be his turn.
Thus, he had to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.
"So it was just an excuse. You just wanted to steal our money. Everyone, this money was given to us by the young master. Would you all be willing to let such a person steal away our money?" The dark skinny man encouraged. These words didn't seem to be just to encourage the refugees, but also the commoners of this small city. He wanted everyone here to share a common enemy.
However, he had miscalculated one thing, and that was that the people here were all used to being bullied. They wouldn't muster up the courage to resist just because of a few words.
"No!" Although the shouts weren't soft, only the refugees and a few hot-blooded commoners of the small city could hear them.
"You want them to rebel against me? They don't have the guts." The captain sneered. He was very satisfied with this reaction.
"Even without them, we still won't surrender. We will fight you to the end," said the dark skinny man calmly. He didn't seem to be afraid at all. It was as if he didn't realize that he was in the eye of the storm. If the captain flipped out, the first person he would kill would be him.
"Hahaha …"
The captain suddenly raised his head and laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
After a while, the captain lowered his head and looked at the dark skinny man. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said disdainfully, "With just you lowly commoners, even if it's just me, I can still kill all of you. I don't have the time to care about you right now. Call out that young master of yours."
Although the captain had suspected that the dark skinny man was Ye Lang, after saying these words, he already understood that this dark skinny man in front of him wasn't that refugee young master. If he wanted to settle the score, he would first have to settle it with Ye Lang.
"The young master has already left. If you want to kill someone, then kill me." The dark skinny man didn't say where Ye Lang was. Instead, he wanted to take on this responsibility himself. That was because he was afraid that the leader would harm Ye Lang.
He didn't know Ye Lang's strength and treated Ye Lang as an ordinary noble young master. Moreover, he was a little muddle-headed. Like everyone else, he wanted to protect this muddle-headed young master and not let anyone harm him. Even if he had to die, it would be the same.
Naturally, not all of the refugees present would have such thoughts. They would still cherish their own lives. However, among them, there were quite a few who had the same thoughts. They wanted to use their lives to protect Ye Lang.
In their hearts, Ye Lang was their savior. Without Ye Lang, they wouldn't be where they were now. If they received a drop of kindness from someone, they would definitely repay it with a spring.
Because of this, beside the dark skinny man and in front of the leader, there were people who were not afraid of death. They looked at the leader fearlessly and confronted him.
Seeing this scene, many people felt an indescribable emotion in their hearts. They didn't expect that this group of refugees would actually have such integrity. For a single person, they were willing to disregard their lives.
At this time, almost everyone who hadn't seen Ye Lang before wanted to see him. They wanted to see exactly what kind of charm he had that made these people act in such a manner.
However, when they saw Ye Lang, Ye Lang's appearance was actually …
"I'm getting more and more curious. I want to see that refugee young master of yours. He actually managed to train you lowly commoners to be so loyal and devoted." The leader's disdain contained a little bit of curiosity. However, at this time, he didn't make a move.
In front of so many people, especially in front of the entire city, if he were to make a move against a group of lowly commoners before the big boss arrived, wouldn't that damage his own status?
"What's his name?" The leader continued to ask.
"… … I don't know."
After a moment of silence, the dark skinny man replied with three words that were commonly used by everyone. It wasn't that he didn't want to answer or that he didn't want to tell the leader, but he truly didn't know.
No one asked for Ye Lang's name. They just called him young master. Perhaps it was because they felt that there was no need to do so, or perhaps it was because they felt that there was a gap between their status and Ye Lang's. Since Ye Lang didn't say anything, they didn't dare to ask.
And this situation caused the leader to naturally think that this dark skinny man was playing with him.
"Are you trying to play with me? Let me tell you, don't think that I won't kill you. If you piss me off, it'll be the same no matter who it is! "The leader furiously roared. A powerful aura blew up the surrounding sand and stones, forcing the people near him to take a small step back.
The dark skinny man frowned. He was even more certain that he shouldn't have allowed Ye Lang to appear. Otherwise, the consequences would definitely be dire. This leader was actually this powerful.
In this small city, someone with this kind of strength could indeed be called a tyrant and run amok without fear.
However, such an expert wouldn't normally stay in a small place like this. Perhaps it was because this leader felt that the pressure outside was too great. Someone like him couldn't even roam freely outside, but staying here would allow him to be a tyrant. Only he knew the pros and cons of this.
"You can kill me. Even if you kill me, I won't know," replied the dark skinny man, unwilling to be outdone.
"I …" The leader's Dou Qi began to surge outwards, causing the surrounding people to stagger. He clenched his fists and walked forward step by step.
The dark skinny man closed his clear eyes, preparing to receive a punch from this tyrant. But in the end, all he wanted was for Ye Lang to quickly leave and not stay here.
Although it could be said that if he was killed by this leader, then he would die for nothing. That was because Ye Lang wasn't afraid of this leader. But this kind of moral integrity was still worthy of respect.
At this time, the refugees were also infected. They all hoped that Ye Lang wouldn't appear and that they would just let them die. Otherwise, if they ended up harming Ye Lang, they really wouldn't know what to do.
But things didn't go as planned. Ye Lang had actually appeared at this time …
"Hey, big guy over there, don't randomly use your Dou Qi. You're blowing sand everywhere. How am I supposed to eat my noodles?" Ye Lang's voice rang out, causing the originally silent crowd to become even more confused. They all looked towards the source of the voice.
Turning around, everyone saw a young man and a young girl standing on the street behind them. The young man was holding a bowl filled with steaming beef noodles.
