Chapter 1074
Li Taihang and Xiaoai each rode a horse and left Qingzhen.
When passing a mountain road, a large number of shouts and shouts of killing suddenly came from the forests on both sides of the mountain road.
"Kill!"
Soon, a large number of bandits rushed out of the forest and surrounded the two of them.
Li Taihang was slightly stunned. This was robbed by a group of bandits.
"It's really interesting. It's not long since we left Qingzhen, and we ran into bandits."
Li Taihang glanced at the bandits. There were more than 40 of them in total.
However, when Li Taihang discovered the appearance of these bandits, he was quite surprised.
Because these bandits were skinny and had various farm tools in their hands. Rather than being bandits, they were more like a group of hungry people who couldn't stand steadily. At this time, they were staring at the two of them with fear on their faces, but they were strong and calm.
In front of the two of them, a group of bandits also walked out.
The leader was a bearded man with a full beard, who looked the most robust among the bandits.
But from the color of his face, it can be seen that he was also a malnourished guy.
The bearded man looked ferocious, holding a butcher knife, waving it a few times, staring at Li Taihang and Xiaoai ferociously.
"Hey, I planted this tree and opened this road. If you want to pass by here, leave money for the road."
After the bearded man said this, he saw that the two were dressed in gorgeous clothes, so he knew that they were of extraordinary status and must have valuable things on them, and he immediately became a little excited.
Li Taihang ignored the big bearded man's words, but looked at these bandits curiously and asked, "Why are you bandits?"
The big bearded man was stunned, then reacted and cursed, "Don't bother yourself with so many things, just hand over your money and property, and we will let you go, otherwise, don't blame us for bullying the minority."
Xiao Ai laughed, "You are so funny, dozens of people robbed the two of us? Under normal circumstances, it is indeed feasible, but do you know my strength?"
"Your strength?"
The big bearded man was stunned, and he hadn't thought about this question yet.
The main reason was that Li Taihang and Xiao Ai looked extraordinary, but they were very young and fair-skinned. In their eyes, they must be those who were powerless.
However, after hearing what Xiao Ai said, the big bearded man was not sure.
You know, the immortal cultivators in this world, even if they look very weak, they also have very terrifying strength.
"Then tell me, how strong are you?" The big bearded man hesitated and asked cautiously.
He decided to test it first.
"Haha." Xiao Ai smiled and said, "Then you better watch out!"
Xiao Ai raised her hand, and the bandits were nervous and even retreated slightly.
"Blow it up."
With Xiao Ai's light shout, the trees on both sides of the mountain road suddenly made crackling explosions.
"Crack."
"Crack."
In the blink of an eye, dozens of trees were broken into two pieces and fell on the mountain, raising a cloud of dust and debris.
Seeing this scene, the bandits stared with their eyes wide open, their faces turned pale, and they trembled all over. Some of them even dropped their weapons on the ground.
"What do you think if those dozens of trees are you?"
Although Xiao Ai looks cute, delicate and beautiful, her words made the hairs of these dozens of bandits stand on end.
"Sir, spare my life!"
The bandits were so scared that their legs and feet softened and they all knelt down.
The bearded man kowtowed like crazy, begging for mercy with a trembling voice: "I have offended you two, I deserve to die, I apologize to you."
The bearded man never thought that they finally made up their minds to rob, but ended up hitting a wall.
Now, they regretted it to death.
"Yes, my lords, please spare us, we don't want to do this, we really can't live anymore."
"Yes, yes! Sir, Miss, please spare us!"
Li Taihang saw their pitiful appearance and their sincere apology. These people were not real bandits, but they were unlucky after entering the industry and actually met them.
"In that case, tell me, why do you want to be bandits?" Li Taihang asked again.
"Sir, we can't survive." The bearded man wiped his tears and choked up and said, "My daughter starved to death a while ago. Those officers and soldiers are so abominable. They would rather starve us to death than steal our food. Now, we don't have any food at all."
"Now, they want us to pay all the taxes we owe. Otherwise, they will treat us as traitors."
"Now, all of us have been taken hostage by them.If we don't pay the taxes within the specified time, we will kill our relatives and friends, woo woo."
Big Beard and other bandits all shed tears.
If it weren't for survival and paying taxes, they wouldn't come to rob others. They also know that this is wrong and can't be done.
"The government took your people as hostages and forced you to pay taxes?"
"No, that's right, we don't want to do that either."
"Interesting."
It was the first time Xiao Ai heard of such a thing. The arrogance of the Lin family had refreshed her worldview. Now it was the government forcing the people to be thieves and plundering their materials?
This is really interesting.
"Brother, shall we go and have a look?"
Li Taihang nodded.
He was bored and went down the mountain to play around. Since he encountered such a thing, of course he had to take care of it.
"Let's go, take us back. "This..." The bearded man hesitated a little. After all, the government still had their people detained. "Don't worry, we will help you." Xiao Ai said, "Besides, you have also seen our strength. Do you still think that we can't help you?" "Okay." The bearded man finally decided, but in order not to expose themselves, they decided to only show Li Taihang and Xiao Ai the way, but not to follow them. In this way, they would not be discovered. Li Taihang and Xiao Ai also understood their approach, but did not force anything. So, under the guidance of these bandits, they came to the road outside the village, and they stopped not far from the village. "Sir, go straight along this road, and you will reach our village. There are soldiers disguised as villagers watching at the entrance of the village. You have to be careful. We will not go there next." The bearded man pointed to the road ahead. "Well. "
Li Taihang and Xiao Ai followed the road and headed forward.
"Uncle with big beard, can they really help us?"
"Yes!"
"Don't worry, these two people are more capable than that immortal master, and they can definitely help us." The big beard gritted his teeth and said, "Damn the government, it's really shameful!"
