I Don't Know Martial Art Chapter 343

Chapter 343 - A bunch of cowards

The next day, in the front courtyard of Tiger City's Patrol Office, the first rays of the sun had yet to arrive, and the sky was still bright and sparse. However, the group of people were even angrier than the crows that reported the news.

"Aiyo, why are you getting up so early in the morning? What are you doing? I'm so cold that I'm about to turn into an ice cube." Some people couldn't help but complain.

"Captain, you can't be trying to take revenge on us, right? We weren't too friendly with him yesterday, right?"

When Yan Bao, who was standing at the front of the line, heard this, he rubbed his hands and said with a cold smile, "If he really wants to take revenge on us, we will all need to lose a finger today."

Hearing this, one of the veterans couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Captain Yan, then do we have to listen to Captain Wei's orders from now on?"

The moment he said this, everyone turned to look at Dai Hu. Although Xiang Yun's methods had subdued them yesterday, causing them to feel some reverence for him, Xiang Yun had just arrived in this world, so they could not accept his control so quickly. They subconsciously felt a little repulsed.

When Yan Bao heard this, he frowned and pondered for a moment before saying something.

"Let's take a look first." The others were perplexed by his noncommittal reply. They were about to continue asking.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from behind and everyone immediately realized who it was. Without any warning, they subconsciously reached out their hands from their sleeves and straightened their backs. They then raised their heads and stood upright in the yard!

Afterwards, Xiang Yun walked out, wearing a black robe, a red tunic on the inside, and a Cloud Boat. If it weren't for the Blue Profound greatsword on his back, but rather the long blade hanging from his waist, he looked like a 'Great Ming Embroidered Uniform Guard' dressed in a phoenix robe and red python robe.

Wearing the official's uniform, Xiang Yun currently had a sharp gaze in his eyes as he walked steadily. His delicate and pretty face, in contrast to his black official's uniform and that enormous sword of the azure profound, appeared a little more resolute and cold. At this moment, Xiang Yun truly had the bearing of a young and experienced young hero!

If they knew that this heroic young man in front of them was a veteran of gambling in the Northwest Qin Feng city, a VIP in the Misty Flower Land, a foppish young lord who stole jade, stole incense, and spent money all at once, how would they feel!

Xiang Yun looked at the group of soldiers standing in the courtyard, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Good, everyone gather on time!"

"I'm sure everyone is curious about the purpose of this gathering."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Xiang Yun in confusion. They really did not know what this new captain was up to.

Xiang Yun looked at the crowd and only said two words!

"Do your duty!"

"Hmm?" Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Xiang Yun continued, "I've already looked over it last night. Our Patrol Office has to take charge of the various posts, city guarding, patrol, custody, naturally as well as the files within the government office, as well as other daily details. So I feel that from today onwards, all the positions will be reopened and everyone will be on duty in turns!"

"What!"

"You must be joking!"

Everyone in the team knew what was going on in Tiger City. The barbarian people didn't put the Inspector General of Storm Country in their eyes at all. There were even barbarians at the south gate of the city who would frequently collect passage fees.

As soldiers of the Diwan, they had to be extremely careful even on the streets. Xiang Yun had actually allowed them to carry out their duties, patrolling and guarding the city. Wasn't this sending them to their deaths?!

"Not going! Not going!"

"Right, let's not go!"

In the next moment after Xiang Yun announced his decision, voices of opposition arose within the group, a strong voice at that. After experiencing a series of changes in Tiger City, these soldiers had long since developed fear and loathing for this city.

Although Xiang Yun had already anticipated this scene, seeing the fear in this person's eyes made him feel a little angry!

"If you dare to disobey, aren't you afraid of being punished by martial law?"

Hearing this, a middle-aged veteran coldly snorted: "Hmph, stop trying to scare us like this, Captain Wei. Old Song, I know your cultivation level is high, and your methods are impressive, but you can't just take our lives as a joke!"

Do you know how many people there were in our Patrol Office six months ago, a total of two hundred brothers? And now, look at you, including you, we only have fifty people together.

"If you let us out now, we might lose half of the people who came back tonight. Aren't you asking us to go out and die?"

The moment he said this, it seemed to evoke the fear in everyone's hearts. As they recalled their previous experiences of being on tenterhooks, fear and unease grew in everyone's hearts. At the same time, it also gave birth to a rebellious feeling as they looked vigilantly at Xiang Yun.

"Heh heh."

Unexpectedly, Xiang Yun suddenly laughed as he faced the crowd!

Everyone was at a loss when they heard Xiang Yun suddenly shout out a cold rebuke!

"A bunch of cowards!"

"What did you say? Who are you calling a coward?!" When everyone heard this, they were immediately filled with rage!

"I said you are all cowards, the most cowardly people in the entire Tiger City!" Xiang Yun repeated himself again!

After being humiliated repeatedly, a soldier immediately shouted in anger, "Captain Wei, you are a newcomer after all, do you know the situation in this city? Have you been through all this? What qualifications do you have to scold us! "

"I don't have the qualifications for you!"

Everyone looked angrily at Xiang Yun. Yan Bao stood in the middle of the crowd and calmly looked at Xiang Yun, not looking as excited as everyone else.

Facing the excited soldiers, Xiang Yun did not choose to comfort them in a gentle tone, but instead ridiculed them with a sneer.

"Heh heh, you think you're not cowards. Right, you're not even afraid of being beheaded for disobeying orders, you dare to contradict Shangguan in this way, aren't you? You're very brave, are you?"

Xiang Yun pointed to the door behind him, saying indignantly.

"You will only stay behind this gate and drink, gamble, and sleep in the dark. You will drive away disasters and turn a blind eye to the people in the city who are trapped in water and fire. You will turn a blind eye to the barbarians who are reaching their hands into the territory of the Southern City of the Wind Cloud Country!"

"All of you have been talking to me all day long about how difficult and arduous it has been for you all and how many contributions and efforts you have made in the past six months. You have used these merit points to numb your cowardice and the fear of your team of barbarians!"

"But you know, you have already become a bunch of cowards! A bunch of cowards! You all don't dare to step out of this gate again! "

Many people clenched their fists and gritted their teeth. Although there was anger in their hearts, they discovered that they did not dare to look into Xiang Yun's eyes again. It was not fear, but more like shame!

Xiang Yun continued, "Let me tell you, when we entered the city last night, I met two barbarian soldiers. They charged the passage fee to the citizens of the city in our territory and bullied them without restraint!"

"Later on, the barbarians robbed a couple of women of their wealth and killed their loved ones. However, they still chose not to let them go. They forcefully captured that lady and made her accompany them to sleep for the night before letting them go."

"And that little girl is only five or six years old. She is cold and hungry, and if her mother is taken away, then she will be frostbitten for an entire night in the cold wind outside the city gate. The next day, she will probably wait for a cold corpse, and perhaps before long, she will also die."

As they heard this story, everyone's heart violently shook. Their bodies unconsciously tensed up and their breathing became hurried!

"What happened to the mother and daughter?" Someone in the team asked! Everyone immediately turned to look at Xiang Yun!

Xiang Yun looked at them and answered with simple words!

"I saved the mother and daughter."

"Hu!"

When everyone heard that Xiang Yun had saved mother and daughter, they all let out a long sigh of relief!

However, Xiang Yun's gaze instantly turned cold and harsh!

"Withdraw your sympathy, because you are not worthy!"

"This …" Everyone was once again frozen in place.

Xiang Yun's expression became increasingly contemptuous, "Hmph, I only came to Tiger City for the first time yesterday. That mother and daughter pair were only the first victims that I met. But before I came, was no one else killed?"

"Would there be any less pitiful people like this mother and daughter? How many men have died under the butcher's knife of the barbarians, and how many women have been humiliated under their crotch? "

"Where were you guys when they were bullied by the barbarians? When they felt despair and the end of the world …"

As everyone heard this, they felt as if their hearts had been struck by a massive hammer. Their bodies trembled, and their faces began to flush red with heat. The blood in their bodies began to heat up, making them feel uncomfortable, as if they were being roasted by raging flames!

At this moment, under Xiang Yun's burning gaze, they finally lowered their heads!

"Right, I know that you have sacrificed a lot. Brothers, friends, including yourselves, may have come down to the border of life and death countless of times, but this is not the reason for us to retreat."

There are too many pitiful people like that mother and daughter. They might not be your family members, your parents, wives, and children, but they're still people of this Windcloud Nation. They're your compatriots!

"Think about it, if your relatives were to be persecuted like this, how angry and sorrowful would you be? You are men of the Wind Cloud Country, guardians of the entire tiger city, are you going to give up on them just because of a little fear?"

"Don't say anymore!" Finally, one of the men in the team choked up and shouted! Everyone looked at him!

When the man raised his head, his eyes were already filled with tears. However, those eyes that were filled with tears were filled with determination and determination!

"Captain Wei, don't say anymore, I'm willing to defend the city!" The man shouted with determination, and then strode forward, arriving at the front of the line!

"I'll go too!" Dong Lin did not hesitate to take a step forward and appear beside the man!

"I'll go too! I'll go too! "

Suddenly, the number of people who said those three words increased, and the number of people who walked out of the team also increased. At the moment, the number of people who said those three words increased, and the number of people who walked out of the team also increased.

At this moment, there was only one person who had yet to step out from the back of the line. It was Yan Bao!

Everyone turned to look at him, their eyes filled with anticipation!

Yan Bao slowly raised his head. His expression was calm, but no one could see that his hands were trembling behind his back!

"You guys are all going. As the vice-captain, I should at least help lead the team, right? I can only go with you guys." The corner of Yan Bao's mouth curled up as he stepped into the crowd!

"Let's all go!" The voices of the crowd gathered together like a thunderclap that pierced through the clouds, echoing throughout the sky above the Tiger City!
