Chapter 127 You have to think about the people, but I don’t need
Faced with the oppressive feeling brought by fifty or sixty guns, everyone was trembling with fear, with the exception of two people, one was Captain Yang and the other was Cheng Long.
But the former was just pretending to be calm.
It’s not that Yang Kenan is not afraid, but he dares not show his cowardice. If even he is afraid, then Pucheng will completely become a lamb to be slaughtered.
Only Cheng Long was skilled and brave. He stood with his hands behind his back, as if there were fifty or sixty guns and fire sticks blocking the gate of the courtyard.
"Marshal Cao, don't you really like making bets with others?"
Cheng Long calmly walked in front of Cao Shaolin, exposing his back completely to the soldiers at the gate, which made Yang Kenan horrified.
The soldiers tightened their guns in their hands, and every look was like a cold blade, full of oppression and threats. At this tense moment, Cheng Long, a stranger, ran up to the young marshal as if nothing had happened, thinking of making a bet with him.
Young Marshal Cao, who enjoys killing people, is already crazy enough, but he didn't expect another crazy person to come!
"Okay, how do you want to bet?"
After experiencing a brief moment of fear, Cao Shaolin returned to his previous lazy, calm, and crazy state of treating others as playthings.
"Let's bet on whether your soldiers dare to shoot."
"I bet they don't dare..."
Say it.
Cheng Long grabbed Cao Shaolin by the collar and dragged him to the center of the court.
But he did not hide behind Marshal Cao, but stood side by side with him.
"Shen Ding, shoot."
Cao Shaolin had never been treated like this before, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to shoot Cheng Long.
But he was right next to him, and if the soldiers under him got distracted and shot him, it would be a serious matter.
So, his orders were ignored.
No one dares to move!
In this era, bullets were very expensive and soldiers rarely had the opportunity to practice shooting. Even if they had the opportunity, they were only given a few bullets.
The elite troops under Zhang Yi usually practiced shooting, and they only fired a few more rounds than ordinary soldiers. Not to mention that Cao Shaolin was standing next to Cheng Long, even if there was a one-meter distance between them, few of them had the courage to pull the trigger.
"Look, they don't dare to shoot. You lose. Let me think of a fine for you."
"Got it, I'll cut off one of your arms!"
The words haven't finished yet.
Cheng Long took out the magic knife from the storage compartment and cut off Cao Shaolin's arm from bottom to top in a flash...
He was so fast that before Cao Shaolin could react and everyone was questioning him, Marshal Cao's left hand fell from his body.
"Ah... ah ah..."
Looking at his arm falling to the ground and the blood gushing out of the wound, Cao Shaolin first showed an expression of incredible astonishment, and then a sharp pain rushed straight to his head, causing him to howl hysterically in pain.
It was not until this moment that Marshal Cao, who had been calm and playful, realized that the man in front of him was not joking with him or trying to intimidate him, but was serious.
He held the gushing wound with a look of horror on his face, and instinctively wanted to move away from Cheng Long to give his subordinates a chance to shoot.
"Marshal Cao, don't leave in such a hurry, let's continue playing."
Cheng Long grabbed Cao Shaolin by the collar, put the magic knife on his neck, and sneered: "Next, let's bet on whether I dare to chop off your head. Tell me, do I dare or not?"
"Gulu~~"
Facing the cold blade, Cao Shaolin was so frightened that his face turned pale and he didn't dare to answer.
At this moment, the severe pain from the broken arm was no longer that important. Although he had lost a hand, he could still live a free and easy life and kill anyone he wanted.
If life is gone.
Then there is nothing.
"Asshole, let go of the young marshal! Otherwise, when the army arrives in Pucheng tomorrow, our army will definitely massacre the city and wipe out your entire family." Shen Ding's eyes were bloodshot. The young marshal had an arm chopped off in front of him, and he might even have his head chopped off. If this matter gets to the ears of Marshal Cao, they will have no chance of survival.
"I am not from Pucheng, what does your massacre have to do with me?"
As soon as Cheng Long said this, there was an uproar.
The defense corps, the gentry, and the common people...all of them glared at him. You, an outsider, caused trouble in Pucheng, killed people, and then walked away, but you made us suffer. How can this be justified?
"Um...um, what should I call you?"
Although Yang Kenan felt very happy, and knew that to deal with evil people, one must use more evil methods to make them feel afraid, but he was the leader of the defense corps after all, and had a heavy responsibility, so he could not allow Cheng Long to kill people.
"I will not change my name, my surname will not change, my last name is Cheng and my first name is Long."
Cheng Long originally planned to sneak into the military camp, kill Cao Shaolin, and avenge Bai Ling, Tie Niu and others, but after he ran to watch out of curiosity, he really couldn't stand the arrogant attitude of Cao Shaolin and his subordinates.
The purpose of practicing magic is to feel comfortable and at ease.
Feeling unhappy once or twice is okay, but if it happens too often, something serious may happen.
So, he changed his strategy.
Marshal Cao, who has an army of tens of thousands, is certainly difficult to deal with, but he is not without a solution.
"Mr. Cheng, I am very grateful that you have come forward to vent the anger of Tie Niu, Teacher Bai and the children. I think everyone feels the same. But Cao Shaolin is Cao Ying's son after all. Cutting off one of his arms is enough to punish him. You can't kill him."
In the movie, Yang Kenan has always been a staunch upholder of county laws. He is determined to kill Cao Shaolin, but in the end, under pressure, he has to personally unlock the shackles on Cao Shaolin's hands and let the tiger return to the mountains.
Because he is not just one person, he has to consider the people of the entire city.
Although he knew in his heart that Cao Shaolin had set his sights on Pucheng, whether he released the hostages or not, it would eventually lead to a large army attacking the city, he was one of the few people who understood.
But before things happen, people always have hope.
Captain Yang was no exception. "Captain Yang, I admired your attitude before, but it's a little off now. But I understand. After all, Pucheng's defenses are weak now, and there are no soldiers guarding it. You need to consider the people of the city, but I don't need to..."
The cold blade emitted a red glow.
The next moment.
Cao Shaolin’s head shot up into the sky.
The murder without any warning is so crazy that it makes people tremble.
Mr. Cheng in front of him seems to be righteous, but in fact he is more terrifying than Cao Shaolin.
Cao Shaolin's killings followed a pattern and could be resisted.
This guy kills people without any warning, and there is no way to prevent him!
"Let's all go to sleep!"
Without giving Zhang Yi's men a chance to react, Cheng Long cut off Cao Shaolin's head with a single blow, and then released a powerful demonic energy that surged out of the court.
The people in the inner courtyard were exposed to the evil spirit and fell to the ground one after another. Zhang Yi's subordinates who were guarding the gate of the courtyard also collapsed to the ground one after another.
This was the first time that Cheng Long had performed sleeping magic on such a large scale.
However, the effect was quite explosive. The people in the inner courtyard and Zhang Yi's subordinates, about 400 people, were all knocked down in an instant.
This scene made the guards and the gentry terrified and dumbfounded.
This is this...
Where did this devil come from?
Why did they target Pucheng?
"Don't look at me, don't look at me..." Boss Liu, who had scolded Cheng Long before, kept repeating to himself in his heart, his head almost shrinking into his stomach.
Cheng Long glanced at Boss Liu, then passed by a group of gentry, and finally stopped his gaze on Yang Kenan. "Captain Yang, why don't you go and confiscate their guns? Otherwise, when they wake up, Pucheng will be finished."
"Alyo, surrender your gun."
Yang Kenan gave orders decisively. Now that things had come to this, what else could they do?
Could it be that Cheng Long was killed?
Not to mention whether he has the ability or not, even if he does, he can't do it.
Because Cheng Long killed Cao Shaolin, essentially he was helping them vent their anger, not killing innocent people indiscriminately. This point must be clearly distinguished.
It’s just that Mr. Cheng’s methods are really intimidating.
I originally thought that he was a young talent from a famous mountain or sect, who came down the mountain to gain experience and passed by Pucheng. Who knew that the methods of this "young talent" were more evil than righteous.
For a moment, Yang Kenan couldn't think of what attitude he should use to communicate with Mr. Cheng.
Lao Liao, Zhang Wu and other members of the defense corps acted swiftly and decisively. The guns and bullets of Zhang Yi's subordinates were quickly confiscated by the defense corps. Then they found bundles of ropes and tied up Zhang Yi and his subordinates.
Boss Liu and other local gentry took the opportunity to slip away.
"You guys are busy, I'll take care of the body."
Leave this sentence behind.
Cheng Long picked up Cao Shaolin's severed arm, tucked his head under his armpit, dragged the rest of his body, and walked towards the inner hall, leaving a trail of blood all over the ground.
Yang Kenan's wife Zhou Susu saw this scene and couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Kenan, he doesn't want to bury the body in our backyard, does he?"
Yang Kenan thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you go and take a look?"
"Forget it. I don't dare go there alone."
Zhou Susu is actually also a warrior with pretty good skills. She can pick several of the fiercest generals under Zhang Yi's command, but she is still a little scared to face Cheng Long alone.
The person Mr. Cheng just killed and the things he did were exactly in line with her perception of evil people.
He killed without hesitation, without warning, and his style was evil and sinister...
"Teacher Bai, I have already killed the man for you. It is time for you to fulfill your promise."
In the residence in the backyard of the court, after Cheng Long put Cao Shaolin's severed limbs and head together, he couldn't wait to call out Bai Ling, Li Tieniu and Xiao Yuan.
Cao Shaolin, who died with his eyes open, lay motionless on the ground. The resentment of the three people disappeared in an instant.
Teacher Bai changed into a pure white cheongsam. There was a gunshot wound on her chest, and the blood had stained a large area of her clothes, which looked a bit creepy.
At this moment, she looks like a holy fairy, with a graceful figure and beautiful appearance, but her hairstyle is a bit old-fashioned.
"Mr. Cheng, thank you for avenging us and killing the villain Cao Shaolin! I will keep my promise and stay by your side, so you can rest assured." Bai Ling didn't expect Cheng Long to act so quickly. In less than an hour, he helped them kill Cao Shaolin. While she was happy, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, afraid that the people of Pucheng would be implicated.
"Mr. Cheng, I am very grateful to you, but you killed Cao Shaolin and the people of Pucheng..." After Li Tieniu regained his senses, he realized that revenge would bring him into big trouble and his heart was filled with guilt.
"It doesn't matter. Since I dare to kill people, I have the ability to protect Pucheng. You can go with Xiao Yuan without worry."
"This……"
"Cousin, Mr. Cheng is a hermit. If he says he can protect you, then he can. You should go down quickly and don't miss the time."
After Bai Ling's resentment dissipated, she sensed the road to the underworld and knew that the time for reincarnation had come.
She promised Cheng Long that she must stay.
But her cousin and Xiao Yuan still have a chance to reincarnate, and they must not be hesitant and miss the opportunity.
Otherwise, you will become a wandering ghost, which would be terrible.
"I'm leaving then, you... take care!" Li Tieniu wanted to say something but didn't know how to start. He could only lead Xiao Yuan to the underworld with full of regrets.
One cannot go back on one's word, one of the three of them has to pay!
"Teacher Bai, take care."
"Xiao Yuan, follow my cousin closely on the road."
