Chapter 96 The Hateful General

Chapter 97 The Hateful General
There were quite a few people captured by the robbers, as many as 50 to [-] people, most of whom were women, and it seemed that they were used by the robbers to vent their anger on weekdays.

Everyone was taken to the center of the robber's den and gathered together.

Along the way, Xingyu saw countless corpses, most of them were robbers, and there were also some corpses of officers and soldiers. Blood was flowing on the ground, and the scene was shocking.

The people were surrounded by the officers and soldiers, looking at the shining saber, they panicked again.

At this time, an officer riding on a horse said: "Everyone, don't be afraid, we are here to rescue you, and the robbers have all been killed right now, so you are safe."

When the officer on horseback was speaking, his right hand was raised slightly, reflecting the scorching sun, a dazzling light shone on Xingyu's eyes from his fingers, making Xingyu's eyes slightly narrowed, and at the same time he couldn't help being stunned.

The official soldier was wearing a star pattern ring, but it was his.

Thinking about it, he must have got it from the robber leader Erye.

Xingyu looked gloomy, thinking how to get this star pattern ring back?
As soon as the words of the officer riding on the horse came out, everyone was overjoyed and expressed their gratitude to him one after another.

Guanjun waved his hand and smiled faintly, "You don't have to thank me, this is what we should do. But..." After a pause, Guanjun said again: "However, everyone wants complete freedom, but It is not an easy task either. I am Li Meng, the general defending the Qingyang City of the Zhantian Legion under the Zhantian King. You must have heard of Qingyang City. It is a poor place. Today I will bring people to rescue it. You can be said to be laborious, so if you want to be completely free, you need to show a certain amount of sincerity, and this general does not need a verbal gratitude."

As soon as Li Meng's words came out, everyone gasped. He was taking the opportunity to extort money. Most people here are poor, especially those women. They were only captured for the robbers to vent. It's not someone who spends money at all.

Isn't this forcing them to die?

"If you don't do what the general said, how will you deal with us?" A woman suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Li Meng smiled lightly and said, "If you don't hand it over, then what are you doing here with the robbers, and what will you do when you get it in our hands? This general is worried that there is no way to reward my subordinates."

"You... What is the difference between you and those robbers?"

"You actually said that we are the same as the robbers. It's ridiculous. Do you know that we guard Qingyang City to protect your safety, and how many soldiers die every year. If you support us now, you would not want to. If you knew this, you shouldn't save you."

Staring at the woman in disheveled dress with a cold face, Li Meng did not feel ashamed, but justified his words.

"you······"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, you have five days to hand over [-] gold coins each, or you can go back to work honestly." Li Meng shouted angrily.

His words drove some into complete despair.

The same is true for Xingyu. He stared at Li Meng coldly. These are the officers and soldiers protecting the people, or robbers. What they are doing at this time is even more hateful than the robbers. No wonder the Xingwu Dynasty The national strength has been declining in recent years, precisely because of this moth.

All the people were taken away, and they arrived at Qingyang City after driving for three days and three nights.

During the period, some sons of rich families sent letters to the family, and soon sent one hundred thousand gold coins, and then left, while those who could not give one hundred thousand gold coins could only do what Li Meng said before. What are you doing now.

The women were sent to the barracks to reward the soldiers, and the men who had no money were recruited to be strong men to replenish the source of soldiers.

Qingyang City is not big, and it is indeed very poor. Just looking at the streets, one can tell that there are only about [-] to [-] soldiers guarding the city.

In the military camp of Qingyang City, Xingyu, Ling Shuang, and Lin Xuerong were all in a tent.

The three of them stood quietly in front of that Li Meng.

"Is your name Xingyu?" Li Meng asked lightly.

"Yes." Xingyu replied calmly, completely suppressing the hatred for Li Meng in his heart.

"You said you are a star pattern master, very good, people like you are needed in the army."

Li Meng said indifferently: "As long as you can make star pattern weapons for the soldiers of this general and use them to kill the enemy, this general will naturally not embarrass you, and of course you will not embarrass your friends. I can guarantee their safety." .”

"It's just that the general wants to know, what is the level of your star pattern?" Li Meng continued to ask.

Xingyu replied: "I'm a junior middle-rank star pattern master now, but it shouldn't take long before I can reach a junior top-rank star pattern master."

In order to protect Lin Xuerong and Ling Shuang from being dragged to reward the soldiers, when Xingyu was taken away by Li Meng and the others, he told Li Meng that he was a star pattern master. He knew that the army needed more than some warriors, but also star pattern division.

You must know that the role of a star pattern master is far better than that of a warrior in the army.

A martial artist is only strong alone, and has no way to drive others.

However, the star pattern weapons used by the star pattern master system can equip an army with strong combat effectiveness.

"Elementary mid-level, the level is a bit lower." Li Meng was a little disapproving, and then said: "The general now wants to know where your self-confidence comes from. The cultivation of star pattern masters is far more difficult than that of warriors. You should eat and drink water so well." Simple?"

In Xingyu's calm eyes, a burst of extreme self-confidence suddenly shot out: "Because I have the potential of a ninth-level star pattern master, I think as long as there are enough production materials for me to use, it is not a problem to upgrade the level."

"Very well, the general will trust you for the time being. The general will provide you with the materials you use. But as for when you can let you go, it depends on your performance." Li Meng had a strange look on his face.

Hearing this, Xingyu said: "General Li said, one hundred thousand gold coins per person, then General Li will deduct the cost of materials, and the rest should be mine. You only need to deduct thirty gold coins, and we should be able to leave Bar."

"That's right, the general did say before that one person can leave with 50 gold coins, but don't forget, the general said that the limit is only five days. Now that you have exceeded this time, the gold coins you need will naturally increase. But it is not difficult for you as a star pattern master to make money, how about it, the three of you, you can leave as long as you pay [-] gold coins."

"50?" Xingyu, Ling Shuang, and Lin Xuerong were startled. Isn't that too much?

Originally, when Li Meng asked for [-] gold coins, Ling Shuang said that he wanted to send a letter to the family to let the Ling family take the money, but firstly, there was too little time, and secondly, Xingyu didn't want to bother the Ling family too much. .

With his current cultivation level as a junior mid-level star pattern master, it may only take about a year or even less to earn 30 gold coins. After all, he will continue to improve his cultivation level later on, so Xingyu didn't do that .

But now it needs 50, three people is 150 million, how long will it take?
"General Li, isn't this too much?" Xingyu wondered.

"Is there a lot? In my general's opinion, it's not much at all." Li Meng said with a relaxed expression.

"Since General Li asked for so much at once, well, please give us half a month, and we will definitely ask someone to bring the 150 million gold coins." Ling Shuang finally couldn't help it, and couldn't help but said.

This Li Meng is really hateful, he is even more hateful than robbers!
"Oh, is that so?" Li Meng was a little surprised. It seemed that this girl belonged to a wealthy family, but what Li Meng was thinking now was not just 150 million gold coins.

If Xingyu can really help him make the star pattern artifact and let him resell it, I am afraid that it will not be as simple as 150 million. After all, how many gold coins will be sold at that time is not what he said.

"However, the general has changed his mind now. He only wants the star pattern artifact, not the money."

"You..." Why is this Li Meng such a rascal, Ling Shuang was so angry that she was going crazy, she couldn't bear to go up and give him a few slaps.

"Vice General Lin, take them down." Li Meng impatiently ordered the young man next to him.

"Yes, General!"
-
"Xingyu, the three of you will live in this tent from now on, tell me if you have anything to do."

Leading the three of Xingyu into a tent that was not too big, Vice General Lin said calmly.

"Remember that without General Li's order, you are not allowed to step out of the barracks, and you are not allowed to walk around in some places in the barracks. You need to cast items, and I will prepare them for you as soon as possible in the next few days."

After finishing speaking, Vice General Lin turned to leave.

Xingyu stopped him suddenly, he had a good impression of this Deputy Lin Xingyu.

And this deputy general Lin is very young, he looks like he is only 26 or [-] years old.

"Vice General Lin, thank you!" Xingyu smiled faintly.

Vice General Lin didn't speak, just tapped lightly without responding, but turned around and walked out of the tent, but he couldn't help shaking his head slightly and sighing softly.

"Xingyu, what should we do next? It's so difficult that we really want to make a star pattern tool for that bastard general?" Ling Shuang was very dissatisfied. If she could, she would rather not be rescued by these officers and soldiers. Wo, into the tiger's mouth again!

Xingyu smiled helplessly and said: "If we come, we will be safe, and at least our lives are not in danger right now, first follow what Li Meng said, and I believe there will always be a chance to escape in the future."

"Well, that's the only way to go now." Ling Shuang sighed helplessly.

The three of them finally escaped a catastrophe. Although they are currently in the military camp and cannot be free, they are less dangerous.

After a few days, Vice General Lin really prepared all the things that Xingyu needed to cast.

And Li Meng also brought a production blueprint, which showed a dagger, a star pattern book with ice attributes, and some casting materials.

Li Meng told Xingyu that he should make it within five days and pick it up when the time comes, Xingyu agreed.

The design of this dagger looks good, but when it is finished, it is actually just a low-level product. For Xingyu now, it is not difficult at all.
