God of Fire

Cangyan Empire.Yandu.

This is the capital of the Cangyan Empire.The city where the ruler resides.Although their Cangyan Kingdom has been besieged by major powers in recent years.The land is getting less and less.The economic aspect is also not as good as before.However, the number of people living in this country has not decreased.They believe that no matter how bad their country is, it is the place where they were born and raised.Absolutely will not leave casually.

Yandu has the largest population in the Cangyan Empire.Many spacious streets are also full of people coming and going.There is a lot of traffic.The flow never stops.The cries of small vendors from all over the place can be heard everywhere around the roadside.

It is a thriving moment.

"Ah. People from the Yan Army are here."

Just at this time.A small group of soldiers came running from the other side of the street.They were clad in fiery red fine armor.Shining red under the scorching sun.They each walked over swaggeringly with their weapons.These people all have arrogance and domineering looks on their faces.

As soon as they come.Many people on the bustling street just now became quiet.Looking at the team with fear in his eyes.The middle-aged man who took the lead had a deep and haughty look on his face.His eyes scanned everyone on the street.At that time, I waved my hand.He spit out a few words: "What are you still doing in a daze. Let me go."

The leader gave an order.More than a dozen soldiers behind him showed joyful smiles at that time.moment.They become like wolves and tigers.Quickly rushed into the major businesses around here.One by one they shouted in a rough voice: "Hey, hey, all the young and old here listen to me. Our Chinese military masters are not here this time to make trouble. As long as you cooperate obediently. We are I came here to ask for this month's protection fee. If you are smart, hand it over honestly. Everyone is easy to talk to."

Under the roar of this team of sergeants.Many businesses on the street are nervous.I had to give away the silver taels from my own family.However, there are also some people who are a little resentful: "What? I still have to pay. We have paid twice this month. I have never seen you asking for money in disguise like this. This is not asking for money. It is clearly a money grab."

"Asshole. What are you talking about here. We didn't collect your money last time. It was collected by other people in the army. It has nothing to do with us. Don't talk about it here. Otherwise, we will beat you mouth."

"Stop talking nonsense. You pay or not. If you dare not pay. Then don't blame the military men for not showing face. In the future, your family will not want to do business here."

In front of these ferocious sergeants.Although many people are unwilling.But there is no way.Still, he obediently handed over his family's money.

At a roadside wine stand.There were a few diners sitting scattered and drinking.They saw that the soldiers were collecting money and wanted to come over.Now it's almost the family's turn.Many diners also shook their heads and sighed.After throwing down the drink money, they all got up and left.

An old man is sitting in a hotel.Squinting his old eyes, he looked at the situation over there.shook his head.Reluctantly, he got up and collected the wine money of those diners.He muttered in his mouth: "What is the situation? I have lived such a long time. I have never seen such a situation. Sigh. These days are really sad. It is getting worse every day..."

"Old man. How come the soldiers in Yandu dare to do such robbery in broad daylight. Do the people in the army just ignore it like this?"

At this roadside wine stand.The surrounding guests were harassed by these unscrupulous soldiers.Everyone went away in shock.Only a long-haired man in a black cloak sat there quietly.There is still a small glass of water wine in his mouth.Doesn't seem to be affected by the situation here.

When the old man in this wine stall was cleaning up.The man in black asked the old man curiously.

After collecting the money for the drink just now.He didn't count how many there were.No customer paid less either.I saw the old man dug out some money from his pocket.Count them after accumulating them.After it was over, he glanced at the only drinker on his side.Said: "Little brother. You must have just come in from other places. If it was before, Mr. Zheng Jiangshan is sitting here. The city and the streets are peaceful. No one dares to make trouble. It's just that It’s all in the past. Our Yandu is very different now. Because the people above are not disciplined, many soldiers have become lawless. They take the lead in bullying the common people. This is a common thing.”

The young alcoholic looked very strange.He couldn't help asking: "Then, what about Mr. Zheng Jiangshan? Why doesn't he care about it now? Could it be that he was dismissed? That's not right. I remember that their Zheng family seems to be one of the top ten families in the Cangyan Empire. What used to be Anyone dares to arrest him. It is impossible for him to be dismissed. Could it be that he made some mistake."

At this moment, the old man caught a glance at the young drinker.There was a trace of surprise in the eyes of the old and chaotic: "I didn't expect this little brother to be very familiar with our Cangyan Empire."

There was a smile in the eyes of the young drinker: "To be honest, I was a member of the Cangyan Empire a long time ago. It's just that I just came back here recently. So I don't know much about the recent affairs of the Cangyan Kingdom. I understand. I also ask the old gentleman to give me advice."

The old man sighed: "I don't dare to take advice. In fact, it's no secret for a long time. It was about two years ago. The old man, who has always been healthy and healthy, suddenly fell into a strange disease. He became seriously ill all of a sudden. I'm sorry. It has long been rumored that there are thieves in the country who harmed the lord. This made many people very nervous. Because after this incident, the lord will never trust anyone again. He is very suspicious. Mr. Zheng Jiangshan He is the confidant of the king. So he transferred Zheng Jiangshan to protect the safety of the king in the palace."

"As soon as Mr. Zheng Jiangshan left, the people above didn't know what was going on. However, some people said that King Yan was powerful. King Yan's power quickly took over the affairs of the city, including the security of the streets. Let their Yanjun troops control the entire Yandu. Yanwang’s subordinates are not like soldiers at all. Instead, they look more like lazy, greedy dudes. Relying on themselves as the rulers of the city here .We often go out to the streets to bully the common people. They even protect each other. We don’t even have a place to complain. It’s been like this for more than two years.”

The young drinker over there listened.frowned.Then he asked again: "It's been such a long time. Is there no one in the city who comes out to take care of things? Everyone looks at it like this."

"Oh. Didn't I say that. Most of them are guarded by officials. Many times when those soldiers see someone from above come down, they pretend to be for the country and the people. They all look like loyal cities. Wait for the upper-level After the people left, they started to be unscrupulous again. This situation. Many people know it. Those high officials in the city also know it. It's just that the people below didn't make too much trouble. They all turned a blind eye Just close your eyes... alas. Here they come."

The old man said with a sigh.At this time.Those soldiers have already collected the money and received it from them: "Hey, old man, why do you only have this little money this time. What a fart. Bring some more."

The old man shook his head helplessly and said: "Master, I really don't have any now. People in your army have come here to collect money several times before. If I give it to you again, I don't even have money for food. Please do me a favor. Take this money as tea money for military gentlemen..."

"Go away. Think we are beggars."

The soldier ignored the old man's words.With a wave of his hand.The money in the hands of the old man was blown out.Even the old man himself was pushed astray by this force.He staggered back out.He fell down on the wine table all at once.But at the critical moment, one hand was on the old man's waist.Let him stabilize there.It won't fall down for a while.

The man who helped him.It was the young black-clothed alcoholic who had questioned him earlier.

The old man glanced at the man behind him.He sighed dangerously.But he straightened his body: "Thank you little brother for your help. This place is too dangerous. You should hurry up and go a little further. It seems that these people are not going to let the old man go easily. You should not let the old man get involved."

The old man just finished speaking.The young drinker looked at him instead.Said: "Old man, you can sit here first. These scumbags should be taught a good lesson."

"Wait. What are you going to do, boy. Don't provoke them..."

The old man was surprised to see the man in front of him stand up.Instead, he walked towards the soldiers on the opposite side.

I saw someone coming towards them.Those menacing soldiers glared at him: "Hey, kid. What are you doing here? Are you looking for a fight. If you have nothing to do, get away from me."

The man in black smiled slightly: "You bastards are so soft on taking money from others. Now you still want to bite people. I don't know how to write the word dead. Didn't your father teach you to be a man? Is it polite?"

Those few people heard this.I was stunned for a moment.Can't help but look at each other.Then all the reactions came.All of them had expressions of anger on their faces: "Smelly brat. You dare to scold our Yan army. You are going against heaven."

"Bastard. You can't find death..."

At that time, a soldier who was closest to him was furious.All of a sudden, he punched the young alcoholic in the face.But the drinker shook his opponent's fist with a slight movement of his body.I can't see how he exerts his strength.It seemed to touch the soldier's body lightly.The opponent's thick body suddenly looked like a kite being thrown out.Fly far away in an instant.A large cloud of dust rolled out on the ground.Then there was no sound.

He was knocked unconscious in an instant.

This is the hand of the young drinker.Several sergeants on the other side were suddenly nervous.It turned out that he met a master.

"You. Who are you. What do you want to do."

"It's nothing. It's just that you don't like it. Remember. My name is Li Liehuo. Now you, Uncle Liehuo, want you bastards to pick up all the money that just knocked off the old man. Then kowtow to the old man to apologize."
