Batuer suddenly thought of a legend.
About a hundred years ago, there was also a traveling rchant from the Central Plains who rode a horse, pulled three large wagons of arrows, and arrived in the long-sealed Western Regions.
A single person, a single bow, road the vast desert of the Western Regions, using the legendary swordsmanship that pierced the Holy Mountain Bodhisattva, to take down, one by one, the rampant sand pirates and the rebellious cavalry of the noble lords of that ti.
Finally, reopening the trade routes between the long-disconnected Western Regions and the Central Plains.
Heroes from the Central Plains are never-ending, but heroes from the Western Regions slaughter each other.
Is it only the Western Regions that are like this?
Or are all the heroes under the heavens the sa?
Batuer felt montarily dazed.
He rembered asking the Prophet Sage such a question and received the answer from the Sage—
’All the heroes throughout history are like this.’
’The hero who kills the most is the greatest one.’
Batuer fell silent, but this ti, the Central Plains people he encountered were not leading them forward to kill, and he didn’t know what to say, the Sage’s words echoed in his mind, yet unlike before, he couldn’t refute them.
Li Guanyi looked at the noble, who stamred: "Are you from the Central Plains? I am the City Lord’s son here, and I have a Central Plains na, Huyan Yinshi."
Huyan Yinshi said, "Do you need serfs? Or gold?"
"I can give you whatever you want, as much as you need."
"My father is the City Lord, commanding the surrounding lands, he has thousands of brave samurai under him, you cannot harm , or my father will send people to kill you."
"With a sharp oxhide knife, cut out a wound as long as a horn under your skull, then hang you upside down for three days and nights in the sun until the last drop of blood drains from your body and you die!"
Li Guanyi was astonished, silent, he looked at Batuer beside him.
"Your nobility has always been like this..."
He pondered over his words, and said, "So brave?"
How the hell does he dare?
Even Lei Laong in the corner of his eyes flashed such a light.
His own power was already crushed, yet he still speaks with such tone and confidence, asking Li Guanyi to release him, Li Guanyi tossed the knife in his hand, and could only sigh:
"It seems that the customs of the Western Desert are indeed different from those of the Central Plains."
Batuer was silent for a mont, then said, "What should we do?"
His words also expressed the worries of the surrounding tribespeople, Li Guanyi looked at the confident noble, even if captured, he still wanted Li Guanyi to return his golden knife.
Li Guanyi looked at Batuer and said, "We’ve rescued the person."
"What do you plan to do next?"
Batuer pursed his lips, not knowing how to answer.
He intended to seek revenge even at the cost of his own life.
But after exacting revenge and rescuing the person, he felt lost instead.
Fan Qing said quietly, "It’s because you never had a long-term plan or thought, you don’t understand the larger situation, re courage pushed you to act, and when there are results, you are at a loss and extinguished."
Batuer pursed his lips, he suddenly rembered the Sage’s words and said:
"I dare to ask Tian Ge’er."
He stared at the young man and said, "What kind of person is the hero of this era? So say, it’s the one who kills the most..."
Li Guanyi thought for a mont and replied:
"I am not a hero, so I don’t know."
Batuer felt a bit of regret.
Li Guanyi looked at Huyan Yinshi and said, "Today, I offer you a second path." The young man showed a calm expression and said, "You ca here expecting to die, but you survived."
"Now, you can take your share of the spoils and return to your tribe, to the cheers of your kin."
As his voice fell, the hundreds of warriors from the Western Regions didn’t move, whether it was the danger they feared bringing to their tribe upon returning, or the nearly irrepressible fierce fla after revenge, they all stood there.
Li Guanyi said, "Then there’s a second path, I am a traveling rchant."
"I know of a place where you can live with , on our land, there shouldn’t be any distinction of serfs, female slaves, no higher or lower classes, after working, enjoying the fruit of labor."
"But if you go there, you must abandon the original customs of the Western Regions, everyone follows the sa rules."
Li Guanyi reached out, watching these hundreds of people, and said:
"He who kills shall be put to death."
"Wounding and theft shall be punished accordingly."
"If you are willing, step forward, and use this knife to cut this person."
"Take it as an alliance!"
Huyan Yinshi’s face changed dramatically, the atmosphere instantly turned stagnant, he glared angrily at those dirty-faced lower-class people, shouting and cursing, for a little while, no one moved, no one dared to co and hit him.
Thus, a proud expression appeared on Huyan Yinshi’s face.
At that mont, Saatanati suddenly rushed out, she looked at Li Guanyi and softly said, "In your place, can I live until the Flying Eagle crosses the earth for the fifty-sixth ti?"
Li Guanyi replied, "I don’t know."
"Because I also don’t know if I can survive in this chaotic world."
"But I can promise there will never be abandonnt of the old and weak."
Saatanati smiled, and she nodded vigorously, bent over, picked up the golden treasure sword, and under Huyan Yinshi’s shouts and curses, charged forward vehently, head lowered.
