Chapter 537 Bandits
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.
It turns out that Shen Changgong is also a normal person.
The Jianghu guest said,
"Brother, if you throw away this leather armor, who would know that you were a member of the Qi army? Most of the people in Jiutian Tower are expatriates, so you may not meet Shen Changgong.
Besides, the war is over, why would he bother a disabled veteran like you?"
At this time, Shen Changgong, who was not far away, also said,
"Yes, King Shen is a man of great vision and great heart. He won't make things difficult for a veteran like you. Many people find it difficult to meet him, so why are you afraid of meeting him?
Brother, if you really meet Shen Changgong, will you give him a knife?"
The old soldier glanced at Shen Changgong and said with a smile,
"There's no need. Let's not talk about whether we can kill him or not. Even if we really kill Shen Changgong, what will happen?
My comrades-in-arms would not be able to survive, and the world would be in chaos.
Besides, most of the people I met during my years in the army surrendered and were captured in Heqi County, and then were sent back home. They are all still alive.
As for the rest of the people, I met them through running around. I can’t remember their names and I don’t have much affection for them.
I only have this one miserable life left, and it’s enough to just be alive. Why should I make myself unhappy?
Let’s just muddle along.”
"Brother, you are so righteous. I admire you. Take this pot of wine and drink it."
Shen Changgong asked Tu Queling to bring a pot of wine to the old soldier.
"Thanks. Judging from your accent, you sound like you're from the Northeast. Are you from Yan?"
"Yes, a merchant from Yan State, doing some small business."
"That's great. Now this is also the State of Yan, so you are considered to be in the country. Have you met Shen Changgong?"
"I saw him once two years ago, and then he came south to fight."
"I see."
The old soldier raised his glass to Shen Changgong and offered him a toast from afar.
Just then, there was a sudden noise outside.
Everyone looked up. The shopkeeper at the counter went out to take a look, was so scared that he hurried back and told the waiter to close the door.
"Oh no! The bandits from Shuanglong Mountain are here. There are over a hundred of them. Everyone, stay put. Don't make any noise. Wait for the mayor to arrive with the security team."
The shopkeeper closed the door and greeted everyone in the store.
However, the next second, his door was kicked open and a large group of bandits came in with knives.
The shopkeeper clasped his fists and bowed,
"My fellow bandits, please spare my life. For the mayor's sake, please show some mercy."
"Fuck you, get out of here!"
A cunning bandit kicked the shopkeeper, then saw Shen Changgong's table, his eyes lit up, and he pointed at them and said to a burly man behind him,
"Brother, it's them. A pretty boy with several beautiful women, all of them are stunning beauties!"
Shen Changgong laughed when he heard this. No wonder the bandits suddenly came over at this time. It turned out that they had been targeted for a long time.
Indeed, all of Shen Changgong's women are graceful and have their own unique qualities.
You can say that Shen Changgong has poor credibility, but you can't say that he has poor vision.
The bandit leader looked at Yan Fuyao, Tang Xinyi and other women with greedy and lustful eyes, and his saliva was almost flowing.
Shen Changgong stood up and walked towards the bandit.
However, before he could speak, the bandit leader spoke.
"Go, arrest this pretty boy and all those women. This guy must be very rich to be able to support so many women.
Everyone else, hand over all the money you have, hurry up, or I'll blame you for not recognizing you!"
Hearing this, the sitting shadow guards and bodyguards stood up instantly, drew their swords, kicked over the table, and quickly formed a defensive formation in front of Shen Changgong.
The old soldier and the martial artist also stood up, their faces gloomy, and drew their swords.
Seeing these people moving in unison and looking fierce, the bandit leader frowned and sneered,
"Hey, tough guy, you're a king of heaven and a tiger of earth, where are you running off to? What's the price?"
This is the jargon among bandits. "Tianwang Gaidihu" means, "You are so brave that you dare to anger your grandfather." The latter part means, "Where are you from and where are you going?", which means to interrogate the details.
Avoid running into bandits in other places.
If Shen Changgong understood, he should have replied with "The pagoda suppresses the river monster", which means I have no intention of offending you, otherwise I will fall into the river and drown.
Unfortunately, Shen Changgong didn’t quite understand these things. Even if he did, he wouldn’t flatter these bandits.
Shen Changgong sneered and said,
"I don't care what mountain you are from or what you want to do. Before I lose my temper, get your people out of here, or don't even have to go out."
The bandit leader snorted coldly when he heard this.
"You're so arrogant! Just relying on the twenty or so of you? Do you know how many of us there are? Do you know how many of us have come?"
The shopkeeper hurried over and said anxiously to Shen Changgong,
"Young man, don't get carried away by personal feelings. These people are bandits and will kill without blinking an eye. Don't be impulsive. Just give them some money and send them away."
The Jianghu guest slammed the table and said,
"Boss, why should you compromise with the evildoers? Don't encourage their arrogance!"
The bandit leader looked at the Jianghu guest in surprise and sneered,
"Where did this young, foolish boy come from, holding a knife and really thinking he's a hero?"
"you……"
The Jianghu man wanted to speak, but was stopped by the old soldier.
The old soldier walked forward, waved the broken knife in his hand, and said slowly,
"Bandits are blocking the road and robbing people. This is against the will of heaven. Since the government won't take care of you, then I will take care of you."
"You? You're just a lousy soldier with no arms, and you still want to control us? Hahahahaha, if I didn't see you don't have a single valuable thing on you, I would chop you off first."
"Protecting the country and the people is our duty. Although my body is broken, my flesh and blood can still be exchanged for a few bandits.
If one more of you dies, the people will suffer less."
The veteran stood in front of everyone and protected them behind him.
At this moment, the humble smile on his face disappeared, and the desolation and despair were swept away, replaced by unparalleled fighting spirit and murderous intent.
He is a veteran.
Even if he was defeated repeatedly, he was still a veteran who had experienced many battles.
This time, he no longer chose to be a deserter.
The bandit leader wanted to speak again, but Shen Changgong no longer gave him the chance.
"Kill them out and signal outside for help."
"As ordered!"
Twenty shadow guards responded in unison and rushed forward.
Shen Changgong turned his head and said to the woman behind him,
"Que Ling, Mei Yan, protect them well. I'll be back soon."
"As ordered!"
Shen Changgong pulled out two scimitars from his waist and a ferocious smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
Just because he hasn't done anything for a long time doesn't mean he won't kill anymore.
The killer's bloodthirsty instinct ignited again.
