When Zhang Xiaoluo saw the two groups fighting, he immediately got excited and went to the counter to grab a handful of melon seeds and became a melon-eating crowd.

Unexpectedly, he became the "target of public criticism" at this time, which made him extremely embarrassed.

"Would you like some?"

Zhang Xiaoluo gritted his teeth, opened his palms, and handed out the melon seeds.

"Shopkeeper! Didn't I say that the venue is reserved? Why are there so many people waiting!"

Li Qiancheng vented his anger on Zhang Xiaoluo.

"Are you saying that we are just idlers?" The old man raised his eyebrows slightly.

Li Qiancheng was startled and quickly explained: "No, no, I mean him."

Li Qiancheng pointed at Zhang Xiaoluo and blamed Zhang Xiaoluo.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Zhang Xiaoluo's heart, but he did not show it.

"Where are you bastard? Get out of here!" Li Qiancheng actually pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at Zhang Xiaoluo.

The old man frowned even more, and Cao Zhengqing and other accomplices were also startled.

The duty of the black knight is to protect the people from demons and evil cultivators, and the sword in their hands will never be aimed at the people.

But isn't Li Qiancheng in front of them a trick for their dark cavalry?

"Li Qiancheng! Put down the knife!" Cao Zhengqing scolded.

If the old man in front of him, the No. 1 Black Rider, reported this matter, all eight of them would fail the assessment!

Li Qiancheng snorted coldly, but still gave Zhang Xiaoluo a look that seemed to warn Zhang Xiaoluo: Just wait!

"Sir, it was me who was impulsive." Cao Zhengqing quickly came over to apologize to the old man, and also apologized for Li Qiancheng's action of drawing the sword.

"Get out!" the old man yelled, looking really angry.

Li Qiancheng gritted his teeth and left directly. Tianzi No. 1 is amazing?

My father is a third-grade general named Xuanwei. He has 200,000 troops and horses, and has direct mobilization authority over 50,000 of them!

Although I am not as good as you in grade, I am worthy of you!

Cao Zhengqing apologized again and left with the other six people.

Before leaving, he took one more look at Zhang Xiaoluo.

"Young man, please leave Yunhe Town as soon as possible." The old man glanced at Zhang Xiaoluo and reminded him kindly.

"Why should I leave Yunhe Town?" Zhang Xiaoluo asked.

"What a fool! Teacher, since he doesn't know how to live or die, why bother with him." The girl sneered.

Zhang Xiaoluo felt baffled. He was new to the world and naturally didn't know the darkness of society. How could Li Qiancheng let him go so easily?

For Li Qiancheng, who has been standing high in the pyramid since he was born, as long as he doesn't like anyone, he will kill him! For no reason!

Because to him, all living things are ants! I am a giant dragon, what will happen if I step on you?

The old man was silent and started drinking by himself.

At this time, the shopkeeper ran out with a food box. In fact, Zhang Xiaoluo's food had been prepared a long time ago, but the shopkeeper just saw the tense situation outside, so he hid behind the curtain and did not dare to come out.

"Xiao Luo, please leave Yunhe Town quickly. Those young people will not let you go." The shopkeeper stuffed the food box into Zhang Xiaoluo, and at the same time returned the money for the food and drinks he had just received to Zhang Xiaoluo.

"Take these and run away! Leave now!" The shopkeeper held Zhang Xiaoluo's hand.

Zhang Xiaoluo felt even more confused. He had done nothing, so why did he run away?

Zhang Xiaoluo went out with his food box. Before going out, he put his money bag on the Eight Immortals table near the door, and then strode away.

As soon as they returned to Changlong Buzhuang, the food box in Zhang Xiaoluo's hand was almost knocked over, and He Bi, the shopkeeper of Buzhuang, rushed out in a hurry.

"Shopkeeper, what's going on?" Zhang Xiaoluo asked.

"Hei Qi is in the central square, summoning the whole town to come over! Put down the food box and follow me quickly!"

He Bi said, took the food box from Zhang Xiaoluo, threw it on the ground, pulled Zhang Xiaoluo and ran away.

Zhang Xiaoluo thinks

, everything today is a bit inexplicable.

When they arrived at the central square, they saw the usual arrogant policemen in the Yunhe Town Yamen, standing on both sides like mice that had seen a cat.

And in the middle, there was a group of black knights wearing silver-white armor and jet-black cloaks!

At this time, the mayor and county magistrate of Yunhe Town was nodding and bowing in front of Cao Zhengqing.

Even if he is the head of a town and has a salary from the seventh rank, even if he sees the lowest level black knight, he must treat him as if he were a superior.

There is no way, the power of the Black Cavalry is too great, even a mayor cannot get into their eyes.

"Ahem."

The mayor turned around to face the people of Yunhe Town, cleared his throat and coughed lightly.

"Many of the people present should have been spared by the gang of bandits in Yinshan. The imperial court sent people here this time to wipe out that group of bandits."

"However, your lords need a guide. Is there anyone willing to go?"

The mayor's voice spread throughout the central square, and everyone's expressions changed after hearing the words, and then they all lowered their heads.

Cao Zhengqing, who was behind the mayor, frowned slightly when he saw this.

However, he soon felt relieved. How many bloody people could there be in a small rural place?

Zhang Xiaoluo secretly thought twice. Sure enough.

The first time I heard it, I guessed that these black knights from the imperial court were here to wipe out the gang of bandits in Yinshan Mountain.

The second time I heard it, I guessed that no one would be willing to lead the way.

They are all people with families, who is willing to risk their lives?

"Before dinner today, choose someone to come out."

After Cao Zhengqing said these words, he left with a group of black cavalry.

After they left, there was an explosion in the central square, and everyone was talking about who should go.

"How about drawing lots?" the mayor asked tentatively.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you, still a little reluctant, but this seems to be the fairest way.

As the mayor of the town, he did not choose to forcibly appoint individuals, but used the method of drawing lots. It can be said that he took the people's feelings into consideration.

The mayor immediately ordered people to prepare, and soon thousands of lottery tickets were obtained. Whoever drew the red lottery ticket would go.

"Who comes first?" The mayor glanced around, but no one was willing to come forward.

Choose one of the lottery numbers, and whoever draws the red lottery ticket will be unlucky. Although the probability seems to be equal, the later ones can always take advantage.

Because if the person in front draws the red lottery, there is no need for the person behind to draw again.

Zhang Xiaoluo closed his eyes, sniffed, and finally opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the ground not far away.

Zhang Xiaoluo licked his right index finger and thumb, then squatted down and touched the ground a few times with his fingers dipped in saliva.

There, there was a pool of half-dried poultry blood.

"I'll do it."

A voice broke the somewhat awkward silence. Under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Xiaoluo slowly walked out and came to the center of the square.

The mayor breathed a sigh of relief. If no one came forward, he planned to assign a group of detectives to draw lots first.

Zhang Xiaoluo stretched his whole arm into the large wooden barrel for drawing lots, then took a deep breath, rubbed the end of the lot with his right thumb and index finger, and took out the lot.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the sign held by Zhang Xiaoluo's fingers. Most of them were praying, hoping that it would be a red sign!

Zhang Xiaoluo slowly moved his fingers away. Many people swallowed their saliva and their eyes widened.

"Red!"

A policeman behind the mayor saw the color of the sign first and cried out.

There was no uproar in the audience, just silence and sounds of relief.

The mayor also looked a little stunned, just like this? It’s over?

After the shock, the mayor regained his composure and ordered people to disperse the people, leaving Zhang Xiaoluo alone.

Come down.

"You..." The mayor wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

He knew that Zhang Xiaoluo had a hard life, but he was popular. When talking about this kid, the only thing that came out of everyone's mouth was praise for him.

"It's bad luck, but I have a strong destiny." Zhang Xiaoluo smiled and shrugged, then turned around and left.

However, after walking only a few steps, he turned back and asked with an embarrassed look: "Well, do I want to go find those black knights now?"

"Just go to the city gate tomorrow morning," the mayor replied.
