Chapter 19
Chapter 19: Shot

Cars rattled, horses Xiaoxiao, pedestrians with swords at their waists.

The official road leading to Tongcheng was originally a straight and solid road.

But it can't stand the crush of pedestrian convoys, and as time goes by, it becomes a little more rugged.

The government is incompetent, and the four major clans in charge of power will not do such laborious and useless things as maintaining official roads outside the city.

It's just difficult for the common people at the bottom.

In the troubled times, no one can fight for a guarantee for them. If they want to survive, they can only keep climbing.

But the people who climbed up are no longer as simple as they used to be. Who in the world can always guarantee the original intention?
The loess is wrapped in dust and smoke, and a fine horse gallops past pedestrians on the side of the road.

Some half-grown boy took a mouthful of ashes and couldn't help but wanted to curse a few words, but was stopped by the middle-aged man beside him.

"Goofy, you have to remember when you go to the city in the future, we can't afford to offend people like this, but don't run into them, or else"

The half-child was a little dissatisfied and said, "What else?"

The middle-aged man sighed, full of the burden of life: "Otherwise, you may get a beating, or you may lose your life if it is serious!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at the steed that had gone away long ago, and the figure with only a red dot left on the horse's back.

He spat and said, "What's the big deal, sooner or later, I will be stronger than him!"

Looking at the half-child with a heart higher than the sky, the middle-aged man beside him who has been smoothed by life can only sigh silently.

Zhao Quan didn't know that he had already become the target that a certain half-sized man vowed to catch up with.

Even if he knew it, he wouldn't care, because in Qianshan City alone, more than [-]% of the children targeted him.

This is a cruel arena where if you don't work hard to climb up, you will never have a bright future.

At this time, Zhao Quan, looking at the strange but familiar scene around him, knew that he was about to arrive in Tongcheng.

Tongcheng is an old city, which has been built for thousands of years. Zhao Quan could see the solid city wall made of stones from a distance.

There are still historical winds and frosts left on it, and numerous scars, which seem to witness the growth of this city.

As they got closer to Tongcheng, Zhao Quan reined in the reins, and the horse slowed down.

There is a moat in front of the city gate, and there is a suspension bridge on the river, which was built before the imperial power declined.

At this time, large and small convoys, pedestrians, businessmen, people traveling in rivers and lakes, and people entering and leaving the city are all slowly crossing the suspension bridge.

After passing through the city gate, someone will charge a fee to enter the city, and then be put into the city.

Of course, the defenders of the city will not be the people of the government, but the children of the four clans.

There are four city gates in Tongcheng, and one of the four clans guards one gate. The daily entry fee charged is quite a considerable number.

Of course, not every one of the four gates is facing the traffic arteries, there is an endless stream like this.

That's why there is a year-end four-clan competition to distribute such benefits.

If anyone can win, this well-oiled city gate will belong to that family next year.

Zhao Quan dismounted from his horse, holding the rein in his hand, wanting to join the crowd, and slowly entered Tongcheng together.

People around looked at Zhao Quan, who was tall and handsome, with a dark red cloak thrown behind him, revealing a pair of muscular iron arms.

There is also a black and bright horse by the side.

Although he didn't wear a weapon, he still belonged to the people in the rivers and lakes.

Most of them consciously avoid it.

Even though he was in the crowd, it didn't make Zhao Quan feel crowded.

Soon on the suspension bridge.

However, at this moment, I suddenly heard a voice from behind: "Get out of the way!"

Zhao Quan turned his head to look, and saw a young girl galloping towards her, with a look of anxiety on her brows, she didn't slow down even though she was approaching the moat.

Instead, he directly wanted to rush up the suspension bridge, regardless of the crowds here and whether the horseshoes would trample and hurt others.

The young girl looks quite pretty, and she is wearing a strong outfit, which can be seen to have good martial arts.

Zhao Quan squinted his eyes, and he could guess that in Tongcheng, there was no one other than the four clans who could act so arrogantly.

I just don't know which clan this girl belongs to.

The girl came very fast, and the space on the suspension bridge was limited, so there was no way to escape in such a hurry.

The crowd panicked.

A little girl with shofar braids looked at the horse's hooves running towards her in a daze. She was startled and stood there dumbfounded.

But her mother was crowded by the crowd and wrapped up to one side.

He shouted the girl's name hoarsely, but he couldn't get rid of the flow of people around him.

The shouting made the drawbridge even more chaotic.

Zhao Quan frowned slightly, he didn't hate the girl riding a horse like the people around him.

It's just because he knows that in this world, human life is worthless, and a girl who comes from a big clan and has enough power can completely disregard other people's lives and act recklessly.

Even if the little girl died on the spot today, and trampled other people to pieces, no one would come to avenge their grievances.

It's just that good things always make people want to protect them. Zhao Quan looked at that lovely girl, and her fate shouldn't be so miserable.

So he is ready to shoot.

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the crowd.

This person is thin and immature, looks like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old.

But there was determination and determination in his eyes, and before the iron hoof was about to approach, he stepped forward and opened his arms to protect the ignorant girl.

The girl on the horseback was still yelling loudly: "Get out! Get out of my way! Get out!"

Even if the girl felt remorse, it was too late, the horse was frightened, and she was no longer able to control it.

The horse's hooves still didn't stop, the boy and the girl were about to die under the iron hoof.

The surrounding crowd all held their breath and hurriedly dodged to the sides, lest it would be their turn next.

Suddenly!
A streak of red silk drifted past, followed by a long neighing.

Everyone looked again, only to see a tall man in a burly man with a dark red cloak tied behind his back, catching the horse's hooves that came down with his bare hands.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they saw that the man's palm was unabated, the horse's leg was broken instantly, and the iron palm hit the horse's belly directly.

The steed let out a whine, flew straight out, and fell into the moat under the bridge.

Zhao Quan's own cloud-dispelling palm technique is swift, fierce and domineering, and supplemented by the great strength of the five dragons and five elephants, it is even more fierce and unparalleled.

The girl on horseback was not spared, and fell into the river together with the horse's corpse.

The surrounding people didn't expect such a turning point, and after a moment of surprise, they all quickly moved away from Zhao Quan.

As if avoiding the plague god, even his eyes were dodged, unwilling to look at him.

There was only one woman who hurried forward and pulled out the girl who was being protected by the boy.

But he didn't even say thank you, so he left in a hurry.

Only the indifferent Zhao Quan and the bewildered young man remained in place.

After a while, the original commotion stopped, and people around entered the city, and those who left the city left the city. There was a space on the originally crowded bridge.

All this was expected by Zhao Quan, the girl was obviously a member of a certain clan.

Zhao Quan saw that he was from Jianghu, so he was not afraid, but ordinary people like them had to be afraid.

Even if Zhao Quan's help was considered a chivalrous act, no one would come forward to applaud, but they were afraid that Chi Yu would be harmed.
