Chapter 98
Li Tianxin found Shangguan Jinhong and asked, "Shangguan Gang Leader, why didn't you enter the city?"

Shangguan Jinhong said helplessly: "The city gate has been closed. The officers and soldiers guarding the city are afraid that we are rogue bandits and refuse to open the door. They only let us station outside the city."

Li Tianxin suddenly realized, nodded and said: "It's no wonder. After all, the officers and soldiers can't confirm your identity, so it's normal for them not to dare to open the door rashly. Instead, I want to praise them for being cautious."

Shangguan Jinhong smiled and nodded: "That's right. Fortunately, the dry food we carry is enough for three days."

"As long as we can get rid of the bandits on Mopan Mountain within three days, there will be no problem."

Li Tianxin said: "That being said, brothers have come all the way to suppress bandits, so they can't afford to be deprived of a hot meal."

"I'll try to communicate with the officers and soldiers. If it doesn't work, even if we don't allow large troops to enter the city, it should be okay for a few people to go in and buy some food."

Shangguan Jinhong said happily: "This will help you, young master."

Li Tianxin nodded to him, and then asked the bandits to stay here while he took Bai Feifei, Shen Lang, Panda'er, and Wang Lianhua and ran towards the city gate.

When the officers and soldiers on the city wall saw that only five horses were coming, they didn't pay much attention and just looked at them silently.

Arriving at the foot of the city wall, Li Tianxin raised his head and shouted: "Li Tianxin is here at Renyi Villa. I am leading the Renyi Villa iron cavalry and three thousand northern martial arts righteous men to suppress the bandits."

"The people who came earlier are the Cangzhou Qian Gang righteous men. Please open the city gate and let us go in to rest."

Usually when he was in the arena, Li Tianxin would not reveal his identity as Xiaoyao Hou of the Ming Dynasty in public, and would only deal with people as the person in charge of Renyi Villa.

He would only use this identity when necessary when dealing with the government, or when there were no other Jianghu people present.

A householder on the city wall heard this and said loudly: "Li Shaoxia, please wait a moment. I will give you an answer after I go to report to the officials."

Li Tianxin clasped his fists and said, "Thank you."

The waiting process was a bit boring, so a few people chatted there.

Wang Lianhua said to Li Tianxin: "Tianxin, you are young and it is still very early for you to find a successor. How could you suddenly decide to accept a disciple today?"

Li Tianxin chuckled, raised his eyebrows at him and said, "If you are jealous, just say it, why bother beating around the bush?"

Shen Lang, Panda'er, and Bai Feifei were all amused when they heard this. Wang Lianhua also laughed dumbly. He was really jealous.

Shen Lang smiled and said: "It's hard to find a master, and it's even harder to find a good disciple. With a talent like Jing Wuming's, no one would want to miss it."

Li Tianxin nodded and said: "No, any warrior with a little bit of discernment will not miss this talented and beautiful jade."

"Although I am still young, now that I have met him, it is fate. I cannot miss him."

Panda'er sighed: "Everything about this Jing Wuming is good, but his life experience is too miserable. I feel bad looking at his eyes. You two should be nicer to him in the future."

The smiles disappeared from everyone's faces. Li Tianxin nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will treat him as my own and will never treat him badly."

"In fact, it is precisely because of his life experience that I chose to accept him as my apprentice. Otherwise, why not give this apprentice to you."

Wang Lianhua said: "Because of the Thirteen Life-Destroying Swords?"

Li Tianxin said calmly: "Yes, the sword intent of the Thirteen Life-Destroying Swords has been sublimated to the extreme and is the purest sword of death. It represents death without any other things mixed in."

"Jing Wuming has suffered a big change, and his whole body exudes a will to die. In the future, he will definitely be able to practice this swordsmanship to the highest level, and become the most evil person in the world."

Several people heard this and didn't think there was anything wrong.

It does not mean cruelty, and death is not evil. Letting the evil people die is the greatest kindness to good people.

Shen Lang said seriously: "You must teach him well and never let him become an executioner who only knows how to kill people."

Li Tianxin said affirmatively: "Of course I will. My sword is absolutely extreme. Once I have the intention to kill, I will show no mercy and will fight until death."

"But swords are ruthless, but people are sentimental, so my sword will not point at anyone who does not deserve to die. I won't, and neither will my apprentice." Wang Lianhua praised: "What a passionate swordsman "The ruthless sword', this is the real swordsman. Those swordsmen who pursue the pursuit of love and righteousness have actually gone astray and entered the evil path."

"exactly."

"Old Man Tianji" Sun Baifa's sister, "Wind and Thunder Palm" Sun Tianfeng, broke up with Sun Family Fort just because she fell in love with such a swordsman.

The person she fell in love with was named Gui Ying'er, and he followed the same path of killing. Like Li Tianxin, he also practiced swordsmanship by killing people and had a superstitious belief in using human blood to nourish his swords.

It's just that Li Tian has principles in his heart, but his sword has mercy on others, and the Thirteen Life-Destroying Swords only take the lives of evil people.

Gui Ying'er has no taboos. In order to practice swordsmanship, he can draw his sword and kill people without any reason.

His only principle is that he only nourishes his sword with the blood of men and will not kill women at will.

During the chat, time gradually passed, and about half a quarter of an hour later, the hundred households returned to the city gate tower.

He called out to Li Tianxin: "Li Shaoxia, our Qianhu household invites a few people to come to the city to talk to you. After the Qianhu household meets you, we will decide whether to let the righteous people into the city. I hope you will forgive me."

Li Tianxin said happily: "It doesn't matter, the bandits are raging now, and that's exactly what they should be. It's really a blessing for the people in the city that thousands of households have such vigilance."

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your understanding." After Baihu replied, he waved his hand and said loudly: "Open the city gate."

The city gate was quickly opened, and Li Tianxin and the other five immediately rode into the city, and then the city gate was immediately closed.

There was a horse waiting outside the door. The sergeant on horseback saw a few people and said, "Please follow me, I will take you to Qianhu Station."

Li Tianxin clasped his fists and said, "Thank you."

The five people immediately followed the knight and walked toward the city along the central axis.

After entering the market area, the five people suddenly felt something was wrong.

This city is really too quiet. There is not a single pedestrian on the street. Even if there are bandits outside the city, there shouldn't be no one in the city. People still have to live.

Even the army defending the city needs the cooperation of the people during war, let alone forcing the people to stay at home and not go out.

Moreover, as they walked along the street, they did not hear a single breath from the houses on both sides. It was like an empty city.

The five people exchanged glances with each other and each of them increased their vigilance.

At this time, they had reached a crossroads. Li Tianxin calmly said to the sergeant who was leading the way: "Master, why is this city..."

"drive……"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, the sergeant knocked his horse's belly with both legs without any warning, and galloped away.

"Swish"

"uh"

The soft sword at Wang Lianhua's waist was immediately unsheathed, and a sword energy flew away, knocking the soldier off his horse. At the same time, he shouted: "There is a problem in this city, let's get out first..."

He didn't finish his words because there was no need to say more.

Just when they reached the center of the crossroad, a wave of people poured out of the four streets in front, back, left, and right, and from the houses at least thirty feet away.

The people in the first few rows of the crowd were all dressed in Ming army uniforms, holding Ming army standard spears and swords in their hands.

The people behind these men in military uniforms were dressed in various colors, and they also had standard spears and swords in their hands.
