Chapter 295: Tough Guys Never Talk Nonsense in a Fight
Over the next three days, three more people joined the depressed army.
And they collectively show hostility towards anyone worth more than 1,500 gold.
And Cangwu City also faced the biggest undercurrent in its history beneath its calm appearance.
Ever since the news spread that the eight people on the Nine Countries Wanted List had all appeared in Cangwu City, people started rushing in from all over.
Court generals, heroes from the martial arts world, bounty hunters...many masters gathered in Cangwu.
The Cangwu government office was also busy. The entire city was under martial law, and officers and soldiers conducted checks day and night, leaving no corner untouched.
Not only did they fail to find the person, but someone also hung a white flag on the roof of the yamen lobby, fluttering in the wind under the August sun, making it a laughing stock.
The Mid-Autumn Festival temple fair arrived as scheduled.
The Chenghuang Temple in the west of the city and its surrounding areas are bustling with traffic and crowds of people.
A certain boy mixed in the crowd looked at the stalls filling the aisles, the opera stage that had already started in the front, and the fire dragon spewing out from the middle of the crowd on the diagonal side. He was as amazed as a country bumpkin entering the city for the first time.
"Is this the temple fair? The stalls are all vying for attention, the acrobatics are all competing for attention. It's really lively."
A pair of ordinary siblings walked past him. "The most lively ones are at the back."
"What's next?"
"The Eight Vajras battle against the heroes. This is unprecedented and will happen again. Welcome to watch."
Kid: =.=#
Around the three of them, leisurely wandering in the crowd were a handsome and frail scholar, a timid old man carrying a backpack, inconspicuous servants and page boys... and a destitute man lying in the corner with a veil on his face and snoring loudly.
Su Wu stroked his chin and quietly approached the servant and the book boy. "There are so many people here, and we've already dressed so inconspicuously. It won't be easy for us to be recognized, right? We'll leave after the temple fair is over."
Su Wen held the scroll in his arms, his gaze fixed straight ahead. "Of the three of us brothers, you're the only one who's grown taller than you are smarter. You've traveled thousands of miles without reading thousands of books, but why haven't you made up for the lack of brains?"
"Su Wen! I'm warning you, if you keep making such noises, I'm going to turn against you!"
Su An took the opportunity to swing his sleeves in their faces and said, "Come on, show us your unique skills and try to double your value. Brother is optimistic about you."
"Bah! You're only fifty short of being a fool, why are you pretending to be so steady and profound?"
Several people nearby quietly moved away from the three of them to avoid being affected when the fight broke out.
They are not familiar with each other.
From all directions, gazes hidden in the dark converged silently towards this side.
At the other end of the temple fair, archers were ready for battle.
The Archer Commander stood in a hidden place on the high ground, staring at the temple grounds with a sharp and cold gaze.
"Commander, do you really want to use archers? The people gathered at the temple fair are almost all ordinary people. Once the arrows are fired, they will have nowhere to hide."
"The emperor has ordered that as long as we can kill those people, we must do so at any cost!"
"But--"
"No buts! Military orders are as heavy as a mountain, and divine orders cannot be violated!"
The commander spoke coldly, his gaze darting around the area for a moment before waving his hand and ordering, "Spies, move in! Those people are proficient in disguise, but some features can't be hidden. Bai Xiaofeng, the owner of Wangque Tower, loves cleanliness and incense, so even when disguising himself, he dresses neatly and elegantly. Du Buqun has been around poison for decades, and there's an indelible herbal scent on his body. The leader of the Twelve Piers is easily recognizable for his beard. Search in these three directions, and if you see any suspicious figures, send a signal immediately!"
He could recite the information he had obtained by heart.
As long as we find these people, there is no need to worry that Su Jiuni will not show up!
The entire temple fair grounds have been surrounded by layers of soldiers, hundreds of archers are on standby, and nearly a hundred martial arts masters are lurking in the inner field. This time, we have caught the turtle in the jar, and those eight people will not be able to escape even if they have wings!
Amidst the lively temple fair, there were undercurrents of murderous intent brewing. The people, immersed in the festive atmosphere, were unaware of this and there were cheers and laughter everywhere.
Bai Yu subtly withdrew his gaze from certain people, tilted his head and smiled at the girl beside him, "Jiu'er, the City God Temple is just ahead. During festivals, many devout men and women come to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. Do you want to go and pray for good luck?"
"No." Tianbao refused without thinking. She didn't believe in gods or Buddhas.
"Although it's said that if you believe, you get it, and if you don't, you don't get it, but it's okay to pray for Grandpa Su and Grandma Su. If it doesn't work, you won't lose anything. If it does, wouldn't you make a profit?"
Tian Bao blinked twice and walked towards the City God Temple. "What are you planning?"
Persuading her to go to the City God Temple like this is not just about praying for blessings.
Bai Yu dodged to the side as the children who were rushing towards him with laughter and playfulness, his eyes softened as he glanced at their innocent smiling faces.
Tianbao liked to chase him and beat him like this when he was a child.
This time, these innocent people will not be involved.
If he could accumulate some blessings through this and bring them to Tianbao, he would wish her to be so free forever.
The boy followed the girl slowly and whistled cheerfully.
Hearing the whistle, several other people in the crowd took a step and walked towards the City God Temple.
The big man lying in the corner and snoring loudly had his veil hit by a stone. He muttered, sat up, put the veil on his head, and got up to follow.
Almost immediately, there was movement in various parts of the crowd.
People sitting on the roadside drinking water, looking at goods in front of small stalls, watching the excitement next to the circus... Many people's aura suddenly changed after hearing the whistle, and their sharp eyes looked towards the source of the whistle.
However, the whistle was very short, and by the time they wanted to look for the person, the sound had disappeared, and they could only make out the general direction.
"They are here! Be careful! Don't let them run away!" Another loud shout suddenly erupted from somewhere in the crowd, causing screams from all around.
The frightened people ran out.
The few people who were going against the current as calm as dogs became conspicuous at this moment.
Bai Xiaofeng kicked the person shouting out, rubbing the sole of his shoe on the ground twice in disgust, "You bastard, how dare you sniff at me!"
The old man who was walking with his back hunched straightened up immediately, threw away the basket that was in the way, and pointed at Bai. "Oh! You've been exposed this time, don't blame me! I combed my hair today!"
The big man wearing a veil hat took off his hat and raised it deliberately, not wanting to talk.
There is not a single peaceful day when I am with these dogecoins. I can't even live in peace by covering my face. Go ahead and beat them, damn it.
Seeing this scene, the boys were even more open-minded and rushed to the City God Temple with loud laughter. "Thank you all for showing us so many people. Hahaha! We'll wait for you in the temple!"
"Eight Vajras fighting a pack of dogs! If you're a dog, come! Lululululu!"
"To commit such a bloody massacre in front of the Bodhisattva is truly a sin. If the Bodhisattva were to punish them, he would punish them like dogs. They rely on their teeth to bite people without restraint."
Tianbao rubbed his ears and sighed silently. He didn't know when his brothers developed this habit of always saying a few words before fighting.
A tough guy never talks nonsense in a fight, just showing his fists is enough.
For example, her.
