Chapter 344 - Barbarians BlockThe barbarians ran amok on the streets, and the citizens of the Wind Cloud Country would take detours whenever they met a barbarian on the streets. Even if the Southern City under the jurisdiction of the Wind Cloud Country was still the same, both the barbarians and the people of the Wind Cloud Country thought that it was normal for this to happen.
However, what shocked all the residents of Tiger City was that the patrol soldiers of Tiger City, who had been sealed away for several months and had almost never stepped outside of the Patrol Office"s gate, had today, for the first time, appeared on the streets!They were lined up neatly, wearing bright clothes and carrying long swords at their waists. They all held their heads high and puffed out their chests, with sharp eyes flashing. They were the same guardians who used to guard the safety of the citizens of Tiger City.
Leading the group was a young man that everyone was unfamiliar with. As he walked at the front of the group, his eyebrows were like swords as they flew into his temples. With a handsome face and pursed lips, he gave off a handsome and heroic vibe, causing everyone to feel a sense of respect and curiosity.
Both the people of Wind and Cloud Country and the barbarians were astonished when they saw the patrolling city guards of the Patrol Officer walk out of the Diwan and onto the main street.
"The sun must have risen from the west. Why are these patrolling guards out?" A citizen of the Wind Cloud Country said in shock.
"That"s right, these guys are no longer staying in Dian Ya to retire. They actually came out for a walk. Truly strange."A man mocked, "What do you know? Our Tiger City"s Patrol Officer has always been enjoying himself. Usually, he would close the door and come out to train, occasionally circling around and stretching his muscles and bones to prevent his body from rusting!"
A woman also covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "Oh, that"s right. Their bodies are even more delicate than a woman like me. Naturally, they need to be well nourished."
These discussions were not small, and as soon as they reached the ears of the patrolling soldiers, everyone"s expressions immediately turned extremely ugly. Dai Ziqiang observed their expressions, worried that Xiang Yun would be displeased, and immediately shouted towards the commoners, "Impudent!"However, his shout did not intimidate the crowd. Instead, it stirred up an even more intense reaction!
"Yo, Scouts of the Patrol of the Patrol Officer! How awe-inspiring! You actually dare to yell at us!"
"Oh, right, I was almost scared to death. I didn"t expect the voice of our Tiger City Patrol Officer to be so loud and clear. I just don"t know why, but in front of these barbarians, all of them are like mutes."This ability of bullying the weak and fearing the strong is one-on-one. Even though they are behaving like obedient grandsons in front of the barbarians, they are still grandfathers in front of us. If you don"t pay taxes and make them eat, then do you think they will show their teeth to you? "
"They woke up early today. It can"t be that someone is delaying taxes, right?"
"Haha!" Everyone laughed loudly!
"You!"Hearing this, the soldiers all clenched their fists, their faces red, but they had no way of venting their anger. Seeing this, Dai Zi Qiang and a few other soldiers came forth to control the situation. However, Xiang Yun raised a hand to stop them.
"Let them vent, they"ve suffered enough." Xiang Yun said indifferently to the rest of them.
Hearing these words, everyone"s hearts shook and they immediately came to their senses. These people did not have any ill intentions towards them, but rather, they were angry.
The Patrol Officer didn"t care about the security of the city for several months. They had been bullied by the barbarians, but had nowhere to redress their grievances. Therefore, they were full of resentment.
For a moment, everyone lowered their heads in shame. Indeed, they had been eating and waiting for death these past few days, completely abandoning the people of Tiger City. Many of them had been subjected to cruel and unimaginable humiliation, so what if they were scolded a bit?
Faced with the mocking and ridicule from the citizens of the Wind Cloud Country, the team slowly moved forward. Everyone"s mood became heavy. It was at this moment that the ground shook and someone suddenly blocked the Inspector General"s path!
"Yo, what day is it today? This group of cowards actually came out to bask in the sun?" An ear-piercing sound rang out in the middle of the street without restraint, causing waves of low cries to resound from both sides of the street!
"He"s a barbarian!""Hurry, let"s move aside. Don"t provoke them!" The citizens of the Wind Cloud Country on both sides of the street immediately backed off a little, afraid of provoking any sort of disaster!
At this moment, seven or eight huge barbarian men were standing in front of the patrolling soldiers, blocking the entire street.
The person in the lead wore a luxurious brocade robe and wore a jeweled headband on his head. He held an ink painting and a folding fan in his hand. If it weren"t for his green skin, mountain-like body, and oily green eyes, he would have been dressed like an elegant young master.
There were six or seven barbarian men standing behind this man. They were wearing tight black robes and had fierce expressions on their faces. They crossed their arms in front of their chests.
The leader of the barbarians glanced at the patrolling guards with his dark green eyes. His eyes were filled with disdain and ridicule.
Yan Bao, who was behind Xiang Yun, could not help but reveal a shocked expression when he saw this group of barbarians. As for the other soldiers, they subconsciously tensed up as well, a trace of fear flashing through their eyes.
The barbarian sneered as he saw the expression on everyone"s faces.
Sigh, you bunch of people from the Wind and Cloud race, you really are despicable people, especially you, the Patrol Officer. Since you guys are not guarding the city gate, and you don"t send anyone to patrol the city, we, the barbarian race, have to help you.
The patrolling guards" breathing became heavier and their eyes reddened with these words, but no one dared to argue, much less teach them a lesson!
When the citizens of the State of Feng Yun saw the confrontation between the two parties, they couldn"t help but stop and watch the situation unfold. Each one of them clenched their fists as a surge of energy coursed through their hearts.
Although they had great resentment towards the Inspector General, they were also filled with hope that he would be able to pull himself together.However, when they saw the guards of the Patrol of the City Scouts who were facing the humiliations of these barbarians and dared not to voice their grievances, they all sighed, their eyes filled with disappointment.
"These patrolling guards of the Patrol Officer were indeed afraid of the barbarians. Tiger City is already under the rule of the barbarians." Everyone sighed in helplessness as they lowered their heads and walked along the street, ready to leave.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking our path?"
At this time, a sudden cold question caused everyone"s hearts to tremble, and they couldn"t help but stop in their tracks. As they looked back, they saw that the young man wearing the uniform of the Patrol Officer, who was walking right in front of the patrolling guards, had spoken, and his tone was cold!
The seven to eight barbarian men as well as the other barbarian people who pa.s.sed by were also stunned. They had gotten used to the submissive tone of the people of Wind Cloud Country during the past six months. They lowered their heads to talk to the barbarians.At this moment, the man"s tone and voice, as well as the high head, had turned into a strange sight within the tiger city. It made the group of barbarians feel that it was ear-piercing and dazzling!
The jade-robed barbarian with half of his body was also startled. His pair of dark green eyes stared at the person in front of him. There was an obvious unfriendly look in his eyes.Looking at Xiang Yun"s clothing and the token hanging from his waist, the barbarian gave a strange laugh, "Hehe, so it"s the Patrol Officer. I remember that your Captain Du seemed to have been beaten up and crippled last time. You"re a newcomer, right?"
Xiang Yun did not answer this barbarian"s question. Instead, he coldly asked once more, "Who are you?"
He then sneered and said, "Looks like you are really a newcomer, you don"t understand the rules of this Tiger City. Grandpa will tell you then, I am Roth, the young master of the Qi Zhai of the North City of Tiger City. I presume you have heard of me."The moment this was said, the expressions of the patrolling guards changed. Yan Bao, on the other hand, quietly whispered behind Xiang Yun.
Captain Wei, the Qi Bao Zai Temple is a shop owned by the barbarians. It is considered a big shop in the Tiger City. I have heard of this shop before.
Hearing this, Xiang Yun"s face broke into a smile. Just as he was about to doze off, someone offered him a pillow. So this" screw "was actually a playboy. He must have been a little tactful amongst the barbarians.
"Hehe, what a coincidence, laozi"s nickname is the nemesis of the silkpants!" Xiang Yun laughed coldly in his heart."Cough cough, so it"s Young Master Roth. Please excuse me!" Xiang Yun cupped his hands together, a smile on his face.
Seeing that Xiang Yun"s att.i.tude had become gentle, the hearts of the patrolling guards relaxed slightly. As for the Barbarian named Roth, his face revealed a proud and contemptuous smile.
He thought to himself, This group of people from Wind and Cloud are born to be slaves. However, after hearing my name, even the captain of the patrolling city guards has to flatter and flatter this young master!When the citizens of the Wind Cloud Country saw this scene, all of them were extremely disappointed, sighing with anger!
At this moment, Xiang Yun was already smiling as he spoke, "I wonder what Young Master Roth is doing in the Southern City today?"
When he heard this, he smiled complacently, "This young master has nothing better to do, so I came to visit your Southern City to see if there is anything good to bring back to play with. Of course, the main thing is to take a look.Hearing this, Xiang Yun felt a fierce beast stirring in his heart as his fists slowly clenched. However, he tried his best to control his emotions as he spoke.
"So that"s how it is, but Young Master Ross, the Southern City is our territory after all, so I"m afraid that this isn"t a good idea. Also, we patrolling guards are supposed to patrol the Southern City." So that"s how it is, but Young Master Ross, the Southern City is our territory after all, so this isn"t a good idea.
