C595 Blackmail Villains
The guards at the side were also confused and had long been angry with the head of the guards.2
This guard leader did not expect this at all, but with just a few words, he had infuriated the entire group.
The azure-robed scholar felt increasingly cold. A phrase of kindness that could warm three winters, a malicious speech that hurt six months of cold, kept guessing in his heart. This guard in front of him, this bastard, what else did he want to extort from him? He was truly somewhat annoyed, but he had no choice but to suppress his anger.
He heard the guard speak in a casual manner, "Ai, the Fengdu City has been destroyed. Everyone's life could not be peaceful. Before Fengdu City was destroyed, the Crocodile Man would come to our place every few days to find fault with us. Every day, he would urge us to find some wanted criminal. Unfortunately. . . The Fengdu City has been destroyed by the natural disaster, so the Crocodile Man won't come to find trouble. "
Hearing this, the azure-robed scholar was puzzled and asked casually: "May I ask why Sir is doing this?"
The guard leader heavily patted his yurt and said with a sigh: "Ai, without a mission, there is no income. Previously, when we caught a wanted criminal, it was a shining white silver. The reward was extremely generous. "
After a pause, his listless eyes drooped. Glancing at the snowflakes that filled the sky, he let out a long sigh: "But now. . . Sometimes, we finally managed to catch a wanted criminal who has been on the run for several years, and we thought that we could destroy this case. We got a little reward and wanted to have a good winter, full of expectation. But now, they couldn't be bothered with it, and no reward would work. I keep feeling that there seems to be a lot of stuff going on here!"
The azure-robed scholar couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the guard's head, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the guard's face filled with anticipation. It was as if he was waiting for his next words, and had no choice but to concentrate. He cupped his hands and bowed: "Sir, I keep feeling that the last catastrophe was still brewing. I'm afraid that it will intensify within a few years. I'm afraid that the Fengdu City and even the Ruins Space will not be peaceful. What should we do if natural disasters continue to descend? "
"That's right! No one can live a peaceful life!" The guard said in a daze, as if he did not realize what he was saying.
"Then what do you think of our situation? Is the security of Fengdu City still worth worrying about?" The green-robed scholar asked respectfully.
"Worry, hehe!" The guard casually replied, his tone becoming increasingly cold.
The snow gradually lessened, but the snow on the ground had already covered everyone's calves, almost reaching their knees. Those guards who did not have horses behind them all revealed worried expressions. Although the clothes they wore were a bit thicker than that of the azure-robed scholar, they were unable to withstand the cold.
For a moment, the people and horses were exhausted. The two lines of guards could only watch helplessly as the azure-robed scholar and the guard leader swaggered and swaggered as they rode their fat and strong horses. They chatted with each other without saying a word, and their eyes revealed dissatisfaction, as if they were about to spit fire!
Naturally, they could not complain to the head guard. They could only vent their anger on the azure-robed scholar and mumble at the side.
If not for the head guard staring fixedly at them from the corner of his eye, constantly searching and monitoring them, they would have been itching to beat the teeth of that azure-robed scholar!
As they entered the village, the cold wind from all directions surged into the narrow alley. The temperature seemed to have dropped by a few degrees, and the guard head couldn't help but feel a bit cold.
Lin Lang's eyelids drooped. In the warm room, he listened carefully, which made him feel more and more irritated. He still could not move even now, but the enemy was getting closer and closer.
The sound of the guard's head and the azure-robed scholar constantly reverberated in his ears.
Just as he was concentrating on getting some useful information from the inside, the whispers of the guards on both sides of his ear continued to shake his eardrums.
"If the Fengdu City is really destroyed this time, then we, the group of guards guarding the Fengdu City, will have no more work to do!"
"It's said that if it wasn't for the Floating Island exploding in the sky and the meteorite falling from nowhere, it wouldn't have caused this natural disaster to arrive so quickly. "
"Sigh, the people in the city are scattered, but I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, the rumors are getting more and more mysterious! In less than three years, I'm afraid that we will really become skeletons underground! "
The guard leader by the side was originally chatting casually with the azure-robed scholar. Suddenly, he heard these guards continuously complain, even mixed with fear and dissatisfaction. His expression darkened slightly.
The azure-robed scholar also stopped his conversation with the guard leader. He increasingly believed in the words of these guards. After all, these people had been in contact with the civilians for a long time, so they were naturally able to hear the sounds coming from all directions. It was also the most realistic sound.
The guard leader saw that the morale of the soldiers was getting lower and lower, and angrily rebuked: "Don't listen to those ignorant words anymore, especially those random rumors circulating around the streets. They are all rumors that are not worth investigating. All the lies about the end of the world, they are all false!"
The guards on both sides instantly shut their mouths tightly, and it was completely silent throughout the entire process. Only the sound of horses gasping for breath was left, and the azure-robed scholar was just about to ask when he saw such a solemn scene, and he instantly shut his mouth and didn't speak for a moment.
The guard's temper rose and he shouted sternly, "This time, we came out to do business. We're not here to chat. You have to believe it. This time, the natural disaster was just a simple meteorite fall. That was why there was an accident. If you dare to spread meaningless doomsday lies around again, don't blame me for licking the blood on your necks with my blade! "
Hearing the guard's reprimand, the azure-robed scholar didn't mind. He immediately opened his mouth and said, "Sir, I've heard that the Crocodile Man has recently relaxed the arrest of wanted criminals. It was because they were not prepared for this natural disaster that they sent their men to defend against it. Furthermore, the last time it exploded on the floating island. . . It was not a meteorite from outer space, but a man-made natural disaster. A special explosive the size of a palm was enough to completely crush our Ruins Space. This is what the people said, not something I made up! "
The guard secretly heard the words of the green-robed scholar and pulled out the sword from his waist. Placing it on the neck of the green-robed scholar, he deliberated for a long time. He spoke word by word: "I have said it many times before, no matter what. . . If you listen to the nonsense of those ignorant citizens and try to shake my morale. . . I will first kill you. As for the wanted criminal, that is secondary! You, the head of the bandit who bewitched people, are more valuable than the wanted criminal!"
