Zhao Changhe really didn't know that the "passerby" he had let go was actually a figure on the Hidden Dragon List. He had previously said that this was a rubbish place where even people on the Chaotic World List couldn't be seen...
He originally thought that after he made his arrogant declaration, the first ones to come to him would be the government.
After all, it is impossible for a wanted criminal to be so arrogant as to reveal his whereabouts. What's the difference between this and walking around the city with a "Come and catch me" sticker on his forehead
It's just that there's nothing to hide now. My whereabouts have been sold out, even those idiots know it. The government will definitely know it. What's the point of hiding
The significance of being a wanted criminal is different from that of an ordinary murderer. If he is really found, the person who will come to the door by the authorities will most likely be Lord Tang himself or other important persons. Even if it is his subordinate officers and soldiers who come, they will most likely "want him alive" and will definitely not kill him casually.
It would be better to just sit down and talk with them. So far we know too little about the official information, and it is not good if the information is seriously biased.
But what was unexpected was that no government officials came no matter how long we waited... I don’t know if the efficiency of the government in the late empire was really so low, or if there were other reasons, but in any case, all those who came were "gangsters".
"Clang!" The long sword broke, and a thin man was kicked several feet away by Zhao Changhe. He lay on the ground in pain, coughing up blood.
"Take off his clothes and hang him upside down! Damn, I said that a challenge would cost 100 taels, but you come here empty-handed to get it for free? I have nothing to do but wait for you to challenge me? If you don't pay, I will strip you of your clothes. This is the rule. It's been half a month, haven't you heard about it?"
"Zhao, Village Master Zhao, please spare my life, I really haven't heard of it..."
Zhao Changhe put his hands on the pergola and looked at several people hanging in the distance. He had a fierce look on his face, but he was actually very happy in his heart.
It has been more than half a month since the arrogant notice was issued.
He has faced quite a few challenges in the past half month, and his combat power is particularly suitable. Basically, they are all those at the first or second level of the Xuanguan who come looking for trouble, and occasionally there are even those who join him in the battle. This is simply a wonderful benefit to his practical experience.
It is not enough to practice by oneself. Martial arts is not a dance. It must be practiced in actual combat. Now fighting in the village has not improved his skills. No one dares to fight with him. He is worried about having no place to practice. The endless supply of sparring partners makes him so happy.
There were quite a few tough guys among them, the kind that could easily fall over if not careful. The more of these the better. As the fight went on, Zhao Changhe felt that he had mastered the swordsmanship more and more, and could truly use it as easily as using one's own arm.
Moreover, it greatly promotes the practice of martial arts. Zhao Changhe feels that his internal and external powers have been blending together these days, becoming stronger and stronger, and he is almost on the verge of another breakthrough.
Two worlds, inner and outer
I don't know how many days it will take. I feel like I'm still a little short of the mark. I'm really not a genius. Anyway, these few days have been really fun. Even if these people really don't pay a penny, Zhao Changhe is still very happy.
What's more, some people actually paid money... Those who didn't follow the rules and didn't bring money could also be robbed of weapons.
In just half a month, the Beimang Mountain Road was filled with people who came to challenge, and the silver in the warehouse increased from the original 300 taels to nearly 2,000 taels, and the warehouse was filled with good swords and knives.
"Dig a trap here too. Right at my door. Are you afraid I'll step on it? Also dig one behind the house."
In the village, people were busy everywhere. No one was practicing martial arts, but was setting all kinds of traps.
Because recently there have been many people who attacked the village at night and wanted to secretly chop off Zhao Changhe's head.
Of course, those who do this are no longer hung upside down on the mountain road, but their heads are placed on flagpoles. Look at the row of heads beside the village. The bandits look at their boss with both respect and fear.
Who said this boss was soft-hearted and didn't rob or pillage? He didn't even blink when he chopped off people's heads. The blood in his hands became thicker, and the bloody murderous intent on his body became thicker. Even from a distance, one could sense the devilish aura on his body.
That was truly murderous aura that shook Beimang.
No one has dared to launch a night attack in the past two days, but we cannot relax. According to Boss Zhao, spring is about to arrive and the government troops may be coming. These traps are not only useful for dealing with gangsters, but also for responding to attacks from government troops.
Therefore, traps should not only be set in the village, but also outside, and no place like the back mountain should be set.
A group of bandits who had nothing to do and were always thinking about robbing somewhere suddenly started to work in full swing, and no one dared to disobey them.
Zhao Changhe’s prestige is too high now.
Zhao Changhe crossed his arms and watched, thinking that he was so fucking great. He had definitely turned a ghost into a human!
But he also knew that his awesomeness wouldn't last long.
Generally speaking, strong people above the third level of Xuanguan will not come to snatch the Hidden Dragon Stupid with you... and the real strong people have a clearer understanding of the nature of the Hidden Dragon List, and will not think that they can challenge and snatch it like the fools here... But there is no guarantee that there will still be some, in this world there are not many people who can really read, understand and have culture, this is not the era of nine-year compulsory education.
There are no strong men near Mangshan now, so it is a novice village that is suitable for practical training. But things here will always spread out, and there may really be strong men of the third level of Xuanguan coming here... The transportation in this world is inconvenient, and this process will take some time, but it will definitely come.
Is digging traps really a way to deal with officers and soldiers
No, it is to deal with potential risks, whether it is the approaching triple powerhouse or Fang Buping who may recover from his injuries.
"Boss." Wang Dashan came to his side cautiously: "Today is New Year's Eve, do you have any plans?"
"I'm not your wife, why are you asking me during the holidays?" "?"
Zhao Changhe said, "There is a lot of money in the village recently, so give everyone red envelopes. Also, take some people to the city to buy wine and meat, so that the brothers can enjoy good wine and meat tonight."
Wang Dashan showed his delight: "Yes, I'll go buy it right away."
Watching Wang Dashan happily go away, Zhao Changhe showed a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
This deputy village chief is not honest. He has been secretly colluding with Fang Buping recently. In fact, Zhao Changhe knows that the first people who came to provoke him were recruited by this person.
In other words, what happened to him in Mangshan was leaked by this person and Fang Buping.
You want to be the village chief, right
Ah…
But at the moment, Zhao Changhe doesn't want Fang Buping to know that he has discovered his spy. It is better to know who the spy is than not knowing who he has planted later. So he will use him first. This guy is working very hard to gain his trust. How cool is that.
Anyway, I don't have any secrets that Wang Dashan can reveal. I practice internal skills in bed, so he knows nothing.
The most urgent task is to break through the second level of the entrance before doing anything else.
As for the Chinese New Year
What does that have to do with me... There is no wife in the house, so why should I celebrate the festival alone
Seeing the people in the village cheering and jumping for joy because they heard there would be feasting and drinking tonight, Zhao Changhe felt lonely in his heart. At this moment he missed home and his parents very much.
Human beings do not share the same joys and sorrows.
He sighed softly, looked up at the setting sun, and turned back to the house.
It’s better to practice martial arts.
"Zhao Zhaizhu roars like a tiger among the mountains, and his power shakes Beimang. Why are you sighing?" As soon as he stepped into the house, a female voice laughed: "Looking at the appearance behind you, it is very different from the heroic appearance you usually have outside."
Zhao Changhe paused, looking surprised.
A woman in red clothes was leaning against the window, reading the scriptures of the Blood God Cult. When she saw him come in, she looked up and smiled.
The setting sun shines through the window lattice, and the heroine's smile is free and bright, as if the sunset outside the window has become brighter.
The red feathers of the setting sun reflect the sunset glow, so beautiful that it seems like a scene from the human world.
Although the owner of Luozhuang is not a good person, this evaluation is really very appropriate.
"Miss Yue... why are you here?" Zhao Changhe was a little nervous. He knew how big the gap was between him and Yue Hongling. What if he killed too many people recently and she couldn't stand it...
Hey... wait...
Zhao Changhe suddenly noticed that the color of Yue Hongling's lower abdomen was wrong... There was a darker color on the red dress, that was not the red dress, but blood.
Is she injured
Yue Hongling knew what he was thinking, and laughed and shook her head: "Yes, I am injured... You are the only acquaintance I know here. What's so strange about me coming to you when I am injured? You really think I am here to exorcise demons... You look heroic, but you have a lot of thoughts and are not straightforward."
Zhao Changhe turned around and looked for medicine and bandages in the cabinet without saying anything. "Same here. The lady who let a stranger sit in the back without any precautions will probably not live long enough to see her return to the throne."
"Ha..." Yue Hongling tilted her head and looked at him: "So, you who didn't realize these things at that time, can you be considered a simple boy?"
Thousands of thoughts filled his mind. Zhao Changhe stared at the setting sun outside the window in a trance. After a long while, he whispered, "Forget it."
"So..." Yue Hongling looked at the bandage he took out and whispered, "Can I still trust you today?"
