He was in his early thirties, with rough and dark skin and sharp eyes.
Steward Zhu did not know who he was. In his impression, the head of this group of water bandits was a martial artist nad " wild Mandarin Duck ". He was at the Qi cultivation realm and was quite a man of rules. He gave the money as he was given.
"If you are not. pair of wild lovers, where is he …"
Just as he was about to open his mouth to follow the sound, the man in the large cloak had already leaped up and smashed the bow of the rchant ship.
BOOM!
The bow of the entire ship suddenly sank, causing everyone on the ship to sway left and right, almost falling down.
The Man in Black glanced at Miao Youfang, who was the only one standing still, as well as the few martial artists who were guarding the boat with bows and knives on their backs. He snorted, "
"There are still a few martial artists.
"Wild mandarin ducks? You an that guy who doesn't know how to appreciate favors? I've already chopped off his head and sunk it into the river, but I'm still quite loyal and took good care of his wife for him."
Manager Zhu said in a low voice:
"How much silver do you want? you can just tell ."
The Man in Black raised his palm and spread his fingers. "This amount."
Five hundred taels … Manager Zhu said in a low voice:
"Don't joke around, Sir."
The net profit of the entire ship was less than five hundred taels.
The Man in Black said with a smile, "
"Not only do we want money, but we also want won. We have so many brothers under us, and we can't live without won.
"I'll give you a compromise. A woman will be worth ten taels, and those with good looks will be worth twenty taels."
As he said that, he looked at mu nanzhi, who was beside Xu Qi 'an, and clicked his tongue in disdain.
"For this kind of goods, five taels of silver can't be more than that. It's only enough for us brothers to pass ti for a few days."
Mu nanzhi sneered.
. Don't be too extre when you're out in the pugilistic world …"
Steward Zhu, who had originally wanted to persuade him with kind words, suddenly choked. Because at this mont, the black-clothed man was deliberately facing the sun, and there was a faint divine light on his skin.
Rank-6, copper skin and iron bones!
He had encountered a tough one … Overseer Zhu's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Miao Youfang.
Usually, when one encountered an expert of this level, one could only admit defeat.
Steward Zhu couldn't estimate Miao Youfang's level, so he could only leave the decision to him. Steward Zhu believed that Miao Youfang would weigh the pros and cons.
"Wishy-washy, this Lord's patience is limited!"
The Man in Black walked to the table, grabbed the wine pot, took a big gulp, and whistled.
With a few tugs, a dozen iron hooks were wrapped around the side of the ship, and the water bandits climbed up along the rope.
The water bandits who did not climb with ropes aid their long Spears at the bottom of the boat or opened their kerosene jars, waiting for the order from the Man in Black to chisel the boat and burn it.
They were water bandits, not businessn. Who would bargain with you?
After the water bandits boarded the ship, the Man in Black instructed, "
"Go inside and search for valuables. Bring the won out."
Then, she pointed at mu nanzhi. take this woman with you too. But it's not considered money. Just treat it as a bonus.
His tone was relaxed, but he didn't relax. His right hand was still on the hilt.
Imdiately, two water bandits walked towards mu nanzhi with knives in their hands, looking fierce.
Suddenly, with two loud thuds, the water bandits were sent flying by a huge force as they approached mu nanzhi. They spat out blood and fell to the ground.
Xu Qi 'an reached out his hand and grabbed the man's neck.
"Let them down."
"Down, down, all of you. down …"
The Man in Black's face was filled with fear. His current mood was the sa as manager Zhu 's-he had t a tough opponent.
There was a commotion among the water bandits. They had never thought that the person who had killed the previous leader in one move would be as weak as a quail in front of this ordinary man.
Just a re follower is already so powerful. Hero Miao's strength is even more terrifying than I imagined … Manager Zhu was secretly shocked.
Along the way, Xu Qi 'an had considered himself Miao Youfang's follower.
The water bandits that sward in sward back.
"Sir, please be magnanimous and let's discuss this. I failed to recognize an expert today."
The Man in Black's tone was sincere and pleading.
He believed that unless the other party did not want the entire ship's cargo, they would not fight to the death with him.
Sotis, water bandits like them were not afraid of Masters at all, because many masters would choose to compromise due to casualties, goods, and other reasons.
There was no need to risk one's life for sothing that could be done with silver.
Xu Qi 'an didn't kill him. He asked, "
"Where are you from?"
"Yuzhou!"
After a series of questions and answers, Xu Qi 'an found out that the Man in Black was called Sun Tai. He was from Yuzhou and was a Wanderer in the Jianghu. He was wanted by the Yuzhou governnt for his cris.
This made it impossible for him to set up a gang in a certain place, because the Imperial court's wanted order was shared between all continents.
Sun Tai started to wander around the world. Although he was happy to settle grudges and did not lack money, he was still a lone wolf.
As winter ca this year, cold disasters were everywhere, and the order between the continents was vaguely broken. No one would pay attention to a wanted criminal like him anymore.
Sun Tai began to gather the refugees and other Jianghu Wanderers. He was the king of the water here. Now, he had hundreds of water bandits under him, which was a pretty good force.
According to the developnt of the situation, if this continued, such bandits and water bandits would beco righteous teachers who wanted to overthrow the Imperial court, or " feudal lords " who wanted to take over a territory, becoming a part of the avalanche … Xu Qi 'an sighed.
"Do you want to live?" Xu Qi 'an asked.
Sun Tai imdiately nodded.
Xu Qi 'an pointed at Miao Youfang. kill him and you can live. I won't interfere.
Then he said to Miao Youfang, "
"This is your first trial. In half an hour, bring his head to . If you fail, then our master-disciple relationship will end."
With two clangs, Xu Qi 'an kicked Sun Tai and Miao Youfang out of the rchant ship, and the two of them fell toward the shore.
He then asked steward Zhu to drop the anchor and stay where he was, watching the battle with mu nanzhi.
Manager Zhu was scared silly, he didn't expect this follower to be the main character.
Mu Nanxi saw his serious expression and asked, "
"Worried about Miao Youfang?"
"I'm thinking, if I were the Duke of Wei, how would I deal with these martial artists who have broken the rules with their martial arts?" Xu Qi 'an said in a low voice.
Da Feng's enemies were not only the rebels in Yunzhou, but also the people of the martial world who took advantage of the situation to cause chaos and the refugees who snatched wherever they went in order to fill their stomachs.
In the study of the Wang Residence.
The dispirited Wang shoufu was holding a hand warr. He tapped the table with his fingers and asked, "
"Erlang, these are the morials sent from various places. Since the beginning of winter, bandits have been rampant in various places. The vagrants of Jianghu took advantage of the situation to gather the refugees and Rob them. There were problems both inside and outside.
"Today, in His Majesty's Palace, he asked all of you how to solve this? Do you have any objections?"
Xu Erlang knew that chief advisor Wang was testing him.
Similar examinations had happened in the past few months.
Chief advisor Wang took a sip of tea and said slowly, "
"You're too inexperienced and can't convince the people in the king's party. I don't know when my body will recover, and it might not.
"It's a pity to hand over the team that we've been running for so many years."
Xu niannian frowned and didn't say anything.
"Don't worry, just give a reply within three days." Chief advisor Wang waved his hand tiredly, "
"You can go now."
