Swallowing the Emperor

Chapter 368
That night.

Wang Ba stood on the city wall and looked at the night sky in the distance with a sad expression on his face.

Based on his understanding over the past few months, he knew that although the Miao family was not one of the largest families in the imperial city, they were powerful. Except for his father who was the patriarch, the seven elders were all masters in the extreme martial arts realm.

Although the Golden City can easily block the attacks of martial arts masters, it is a bit stretched in front of the former Wu Zong.

In the final analysis, there were no masters in the castle, and he couldn't help but miss the days when Ouyang Xueqing lived in seclusion in the castle.

"Boss, everything is ready, it's time for you to go down."

Niu San's voice sounded from behind. This middle-aged man who was obsessed with refining weapons was promoted by Wang Ba to be his deputy. He contributed a lot to the blacksmith's success in the city in such a short period of time.

"Let's go."

Wang Ba turned and walked down the city wall.

On the open space of the castle used as a martial arts arena, there are more than 20 corpses placed side by side. They are the brothers who died in the daytime.

"Brothers, I, Wang Ba, am sorry for you."

Someone took the sandalwood and lit it. Wang Ba took it and bowed three times to the corpse in front of him. The surrounding bandits who had been incorporated into the Mohist miners' team also looked sad, with hatred and anger shining in their eyes. shine.

After the simple sacrificial ceremony, someone carried the body to the wooden pile prepared in advance and set it on fire.

Thick smoke rose into the sky, and the pungent smell of burnt flesh filled the night sky.

The atmosphere in the square was dull and depressing, and everyone was shrouded in a layer of gloom.

"Boss, what if the Miao family comes again?"

Seeing the flames soaring into the sky, Ge Liuwen, who was originally the second leader of the bandits and is now the captain of the Mohist miners' team, asked.

"Why, are you afraid?"

Wang Ba looked up at Ge Liu.

Ge Liuyi patted his chest, and said in a deep voice: "The manager looks down on me Ge Liu too much, what is there to be afraid of? He lost his head with a big scar, wandered around the mountains with Dulong back then, killed people, set fire to his house, and was chased all over the mountain to escape I wasn’t afraid all those days, but now I’m afraid?”

Before Wang Ba could answer, Ge Liu went on to say: "Boss, I just wanted to say a few heartfelt words to you. I have been in Hongdu City for more than ten years, and I have some influence on the power of the major families in the city." I understand that although the Miao family is not a first-rate dignitary, apart from the Chen family, the Fang family, the Jiuchonglou and the reclusive Ye family, they can also be ranked among the top ten second-rate forces. The nobles in the city are all virtuous and Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, since the Miao family is eyeing us this time, they will never let it go."

"Today we also killed seven or eight of them during the day, and they will definitely avenge this revenge. With the skills of us bandits, it is impossible to fight them head-on, even if we hide in the castle, we can't last long. Although it sounds discouraging to say it, but the truth, sir, you are not angry when I say that, right?"

Wang Ba shook his head: "You're right, just say what you think."

Ge Liudao: "I, Ge Liu, came to you to convey the meaning of the brothers. Since we joined Mr. Mo, we have never worried about our livelihood in the past year, and we have never worried about being chased and killed by the royal family. I’m a little tired, but my heart is at ease, and I can go to a brothel in the city every month to find a few beautiful girls to have fun, which I never dared to dream of before.”

"There's one thing you haven't said all this time, but you guys got the news when you went to the kiln to play with women. Our young master is Lin Mo, the head of the top ten talents of Fengshen Academy this year, a martial arts genius who single-handedly picked the top ten masters. My dear mother, what is Fengshen Academy? It is a holy place that Yunlan Kingdom martial arts practitioners dream of entering, and we can work hard for the young master, this is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes."

"It is said that scholars die for their confidantes. This is too hypocritical. Don't put our heads on the waistband of our trousers. If there is no next meal, there will be no tomorrow after today, confidant? Who will give me meat and who will give me money? , who is my dear father!"

"We have also noticed these days. You really didn't wait for others to see our brother. Mr. Mo is also a knife-mouthed bean curd, and his mouth is cruel, but he has never treated us badly."

"This year, we have enjoyed all the blessings we deserve in this life, even death is worth it! Brothers, just one word, no matter when, as long as the bastards of the Miao family dare to come, you just order, and the more than 200 members of the miners team Fate, it is yours from now on. I only hope that after the son comes back, he can avenge our brothers, destroy the Miao family, and destroy those noble bastards who bully our common people. In order to protect the mine, we are willing to fight to the death !"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

More than 200 strong men roared in unison, and their anger soared into the sky.

Following the shout, Ge Liu took out a dagger from his pocket and wiped off the little finger of his left hand with one blow, and everyone else also took out their daggers, wiping out their fingers wisely.

Wang Bachang, who is used to seeing nobles fighting openly and covertly, and killing people with soft knives, has never seen such a scene at his age.

In all fairness, he was born into a wealthy family. Although he was born with a handicap, he was ridiculed and ridiculed everywhere in the family, but as an imperial family, his instincts were full of hostility to bandits and bandits who were as inexhaustible as moths.

He was very moved by what Ge Liu and the others said.

Although he didn't show anything on the surface in the past year, but in his heart he only regarded these bandits as a tool to make money. For the first time, Tianchi Wangba felt that he felt sorry for them.

Looking at the severed fingers all over the floor, Wang Ba remembered what Mo Lin said before he left.

Mo Lin said that if you encounter unsolvable troubles, such as the mine being discovered by the rich and powerful in the city and insisting on taking it for yourself, you must learn to be flexible and hand over all your property, and you must not let anyone do this. It's a stupid thing to hit a stone with a pebble.

Unexpectedly, his prophecy came true.

How could Wang Ba not know the strength of the Miao family.

It is said that a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake, not to mention that he is not even a dragon's tail.

"Can bend and stretch..."

Wang Ba didn't want to, the reason why he insisted on not letting go until now was because he knew better than anyone else the character of the rich and powerful, once he was admitted, it was like attracting a wolf into a house, and it would be very difficult to drive out.

To put it bluntly.

This barren mountain is also the territory of the Song family.

Although Wang Ba is a member of the Tianchi family of the empire, and even though the mine was once owned by a friend of his, he never dared to tell the secret, not to mention whether the Miao family would believe it. The group of people who wanted to assassinate him must do something, and he believed that he would never meet another Molin.

"None of you will die."

Keeping the green hills is not afraid of running out of firewood, Wang Ba was ready to retreat, but before he could say this, someone said it for him.

The voice came from the top floor of the castle, and at some point, a boy in black appeared there.

By the light of the fire, when Wang Ba saw the young man's face clearly, his whole body trembled suddenly, and his eye circles were red with excitement.

Ge Liu and the others also heard the voice from above their heads, and they raised their heads together, startled for a moment, and then ecstasy that had never been seen on their faces!

"Son!"

"City Lord!"

"Boss!"

"Owner!"

Mo Lin, who has been away for more than half a year.

came back.
