Legend of the Fighter (2)
Chapters... 70: Two Twin Axes
"Where are you going?" Zhou Fan stopped Shao Mingrui who was about to approach the soldiers.
"Of course address them, problems like this cannot be allowed to go away." Zhou Fan shook his head at Shao Mingrui's reply, he had already guessed if that was what was said.
"If you do it now, it will have no impact on the population, even in the future the first prince will tighten the guard in Duan City. At that time, then the townspeople will have twice as bad."
Shao Mingrui pensive. "But I can't just stand by watching this kind of oppression. They've been very bad, but had to hand over food supplies to the soldiers."
The train left after gathering supplies, Zhou Fan who saw their departure came out and approached the residents who were still there.
"Is that routine?" Zhou Fan did not ask anyone, but he said in a very clear voice.
One of the residents snorted and said. "Regular gifts whatever, every morning and evening they come to collect taxes, taxes that are actually used for themselves."
"But we're not stupid to leave everything to them, how would we want to live if there's no food?!" Zhou Fan turned his head to the side, there Shao Mingrui nodded in understanding.
Perhaps they were oppressed, but they could still endure with their own efforts. Maybe they suffer, but they keep fighting to stay.
If he had attacked the group of soldiers who gathered tribute, automatically the tribute would not have reached the place of the first prince, by then the first prince would have known if there were any problems in his territory.
It was not the best choice to let the soldier carry the produce of the townspeople, but for now it was the most appropriate choice. In addition, there must not be no eye among the residents of the city, acting rashly will only mess things up.
"We spend the night here, maybe tomorrow the city will enter Chen City. What say?" Shao Mingrui invited Zhou Fan to spend the night in an inn, they were still in Duan City, but the border was already visible from where they stood before.
Zhou Fan was fine, he could rest in the inn. Continuing the journey when the night will look like a very hasty, it even provokes suspicion if you meet the first group of princes.
Zhou Fan took one room, he and Zhou Jim went straight into the room. Inside he took out the beast crystal he had obtained in Xinyan City and handed it to Zhou Jim.
Zhou Jim instantly gnawed at the beast crystal like eating a bone, the wolf that was currently in its small body state slowly but surely drained the beast crystal that was in front of him.
Zhou Fan squinted, unexpectedly if a level seven beast crystal was only considered a snack. No sign of evolution, absolutely no change.
The night passed and the day changed. Zhou Fan as well as the two people and Zhou Jim continued on their way, they left Duan City and started the journey towards Chen City.
Chen City still has no power, this city is still in the power of local clans one of which is the Song Clan. Shao Mingrui was very excited when he found out that he would arrive, maybe he had not returned to his mother's family residence for a long time.
His grandfather was one of the elders in the Song Clan, his age had reached a hundred years, was the second person after the patriarch.
"Prince, it seems that ahead there is a problem." Shin put up his body, standing in front of Shao Mingrui.
"You should know that if you go down this road you have to pay. If you don't pay, then you better leave right now." Two thick-bodied men stood up holding axes, their faces looking in tune, they seemed to be twin brothers.
"Are you two Slaying Twins? I've heard this story, but it was before. Whether it's you or not." Shao Mingrui was somewhat doubtful, he himself had never faced off against the two slaughter twins, only hearing his name alone.
"We're not two slaughtering twins, it's our teacher. We have our own nicknames, Two Twin Axes!" One of the fat men said arrogantly.
"They're stronger than me, prince, don't stay away." Shin pulled out his sword, he was ready to fight against the Two Twin Axes despite knowing that his strength was under the two brothers.
"Only a two-star senior fighter wants to fight us, you've wasted that life only once." Fat man shakes.
"Don't underestimate me!" Shin jumped while swinging the sword, as the sword slashed the two axes together and held the sword together.
Shin's face turned blue while trying to slash, the ax was too hard, the opponent's power was too great. He couldn't move an ax an inch.
The two Twin Axes pushed the axe together, with which Shin retreated while holding the balance. But the attack was not over yet, the Two Twin Axes darted and pushed their palms.
Right on the stomach, two palms each from the left and right hands violently puked Shin to spit out fresh blood from his mouth.
"We don't want to kill, hand over your storage rings or leave and don't cross this path." The two Twin Axes said in unison, Shin can no longer stand up straight, his hands holding his body with the help of a sword.
Hem...
"You forget one person" said Zhou Fan, who made the Two Twin Axes look away.
Apparently, the wrinkles on the two's forehead were getting clearer, their eyes slowly opened wide knowing who was talking.
"Master, young master..." The two stocky men instantly kowtowed under Zhou Fan's feet.
"It seems like your life is getting more fun." Zhou Fan glanced at the two men curled up under his feet.
Stand up!
With that one word both stocky men immediately stood up.
"Hehe... Young master, how to be called pleasant, after meeting the young master, we no longer rob, we just ask well well well, if they do not give also fine." One of the stocky men said while scratching the nape of the head.
"No robbing? So what's the right name for you?!" Zhou Fan could not understand the two thick men.
Before this Zhou Fan had met the Two Twin Axes, it was on his way back from the cave to Bei Xian City.
Back then they met at the border of He City, their initial intention was actually to rob Zhou Fan, but was instead battered by him. Back then because it took Zhou Fan's information to release them, it was unexpected that he was now meeting here.
"Young master, do you need anything?" The two Twin Axes smiled trying to take a chance.
But Zhou Fan shook his head, changing the facial expression of the Two Twin Axes. "From you robbing and harassing people, what if you came with me, at least I guarantee you won't live badly."
Without thinking twice Two Twin Axes nodded.
Zhou Fan smiled, getting additional energy like the two of them is certainly a good thing. At least the two were at the level of a four-star senior fighter, with the combination between them, facing a five-star senior fighter was not impossible.
