"You're going too far!" Lieutenant Hong picked up the man's collar and was about to punch him.
The man's legs were shaking with fear, and he said in a trembling voice: "You still want to hit someone, do you know where this is, and I won't allow you to act wild."
Captain Hong will naturally not be afraid of the bullshit Lihuasi. If he really goes to Tianfu to file a lawsuit, he still doesn't know who will be punished. He just doesn't want to make the matter bigger and make the county guard appear incompetent.
Coupled with the news that he was going to help You Ziji find his friends tonight, it was even harder to offend him, so the punch was delayed.
But the man thought Captain Hong was bluffing and became bolder.
"Why, you should fight me. Let all the men coming and going see how arrogant and domineering the governor's retainers are."
Xiao Huang was about to secretly teach this person a lesson, but was stopped by Hao Laodao. There were people coming and going nearby, so it would be bad if he was discovered.
The dispute at the door attracted the attention of many people. Cheng Tong happened to be playing with his companions. When he saw this scene, he came over and said, "This is the only bad thing about Guixiang Tower. You have to pay before you can enter." , then how can the poor people spend money if they haven’t seen the real seal? Forget it, I’ll make up for it with the money.”
"Oh, Uncle Cheng is here. You're welcome. As long as Uncle Cheng says a word, we won't accept the money. You can come in as you like."
The gatekeeper was very flattering when he saw the children of the aristocratic family. But who he was, Cheng Tong didn't even take a glance at him. Then he continued his words with a look of disgust on his face, as if he had just discovered that the person in front of him was Taoist Master He, and said:
"As expected, he is a poor guy with a mud-legged background. He has to save this little money. If someone else has made up for it, you dogs in the county magistrate's mansion should just stay outside."
As soon as he said this, Old Taoist Hao's face turned red, and his hand that reached into his pocket to get some money stopped.
"Hey, what kind of tuberculosis ghost is there? Instead of drinking soup and medicine at home, you are looking for sugar water to drink here." Xiao Huang has always been unforgiving.
Lieutenant Hong was also very angry. He wanted to ask Guixianglou and didn't want to cause trouble, but now that the county was on the defensive, the Cheng family didn't need to give him any face.
He roared angrily, "Consumption ghost, what did you say!"
Cheng Tong's face was haggard due to excessive sexual indulgence before he achieved success in cultivation. Although he was full of energy and vitality after building the foundation, his face could never change. Therefore, he was often laughed at by other disciples of the aristocratic family and felt resentful in his heart. At this moment, two "consumption ghosts" hit his sore spot. When he heard it, he became angry, inserted the folding fan in his hand at his waist, and shouted: "I said you are a useless subordinate of a useless county governor!"
"How brave!"
The two sides were at war with each other. Hong Duwei punched him, and Cheng Tong also punched back. Although the two were not bad at the same level, Hong Duwei was much better in basic skills.
After the blow, Cheng Tong's fists swelled up. If he hadn't been born with a gloomy complexion, he would have blushed at this moment. When he saw Lieutenant Hong's expression remained unchanged, he secretly thought that the other party was powerful, but now he cannot lose the battle.
He pulled out the folding fan and flicked it open with a "swipe" sound, revealing the mysterious treasure pattern on it, which was obviously a magic weapon.
He is a child of a noble family and has a rich family background. He can choose any magic weapon to match his clothes. On the contrary, the Seven-Star Sword in Hong Duwei's hand cannot be carried with him on such occasions.
When the people traveling with him saw Cheng Tong taking out the magic weapon, they knew that he would win later. However, if the captain in front of him was really injured or even killed, the matter would be a big deal, and everyone was watching the scene closely.
Lieutenant Hong was not afraid of this, because the mysterious strength in his body was running, which meant that he would be entangled endlessly. Everyone secretly cursed this man for not knowing how to advance or retreat. Of course, some also disliked Cheng Tong for causing trouble.
Naturally, Cheng Tong couldn't lose his momentum. The folding fan in his hand shook, and a three-foot scimitar flew out. Then he raised the fan and rushed forward, hoping to wait for the scimitar to split the shield of Xuan Gangjin before adding another blow. .
Lieutenant Hong was waiting intently.
But at this moment, You Ziji, who had been silent all this time, suddenly took action, using a small amount of power to split the air, colliding with the scimitar and taking it towards Cheng Tong's wrist with one hand.
When Cheng Tong saw a person suddenly appear, he easily blocked his attack and even removed his weapon. He was furious, thinking that he would not be able to let this person get what he wanted.
So he flipped his wrist, used his body skills to turn his body, and used an exquisite backhand move to cut You Ziji's wrist, trying to force him back. Everyone secretly applauded when they saw this, "The Cheng family's martial arts is indeed exquisite. If not, they would be restrained."
Cheng Tong was quite confident and felt that he was out of danger, but he followed his hand and folded the fan forward, but the opponent's hand and the person behind him were missing.
How could his methods be as good as You Ziji's? You Ziji was just a step ahead and appeared beside him. Avoiding his counterattack, he directly clasped his arm and slid it along his arm to his wrist, about to remove the folding fan. .
This move showed the difference between them. Cheng Tong was shocked, but he could only watch helplessly as he was restrained.
However, You Ziji suddenly stopped and scratched Cheng Tong's wrist with his fingers. Cheng Tong's palms immediately became sore and weak, and he could only hold the folding fan.
Both sides retreated at the first touch. Except for those with advanced cultivation, no one could see that Cheng Tong had been defeated.
Only then did a group of people behind Cheng Tong realize that it was dishonorable for the other party to intervene during a duel, and they immediately gathered around.
Hao Laodao and Lieutenant Hong rushed forward, stood beside You Ziji, and confronted him.
Cheng Tong stretched out his hand to stop his friend. He was about to see where the master came from when he looked at You Ziji up and down and saw that he was only eleven or twelve years old and still a child.
He suddenly remembered that there are two people who are least likely to be trifled with in Zijun City. One is Taoist Priest Xuanming who fought and killed Wang Lexian. Even thinking about that level of battle makes his heart tremble.
The other one was You Ziji who broke through five formations in front of him and killed the most powerful group of foundation-building monks in the entire Zijun City.
Only Yu Zhu is not clean. If she shows her cards right, she may have to resign, so no one is afraid of her.
Cheng Tong saw You Ziji frowning slightly, and suddenly felt that the behavior of himself and others at this time was really unfriendly. He quickly handed over his hands and said: "The two brothers are highly cultivated. I admire you. I apologize for my inappropriate words before. I don't want to disturb you." It boosted everyone’s interest in playing.”
The people behind him were not all idiots. Naturally, some of them recognized You Ziji. Seeing Cheng Tong taking the lead, they immediately echoed his words.
You Ziji was originally worried that he was keeping his hand and the other party couldn't tell, so he continued the confrontation. Now that he saw that the other party had given him a step, it was just a squabble and not a life-or-death feud, so he nodded and accepted.
When Lieutenant Hong Du saw what the other party said, he also knew that he couldn't keep messing around and had nothing to say.
Cheng Tong and his men were about to enter Guixiang Tower. After taking a few steps, they suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, let's go in together, the three of us."
With Mr. Cheng speaking, the gatekeeper no longer dared to stop people, but You Ziji and others did not appreciate it.
Especially Hao Laodao and Lieutenant Hong, they were originally from the county governor's house. If they got too close to the aristocratic family, it would be unsightly for both parties.
As he took out the money, Hao Laodao said, "Thank you for Mr. Cheng's kindness. We just need to make up the money. We don't want to spread the news that a member of the county guard's house has no money and goes to a brothel for free."
After that, he handed over the money.
"It's not necessary for Mr. Haidao. Our Guixiang Restaurant has no rules about increasing prices for customers."
The speaker had just come out of Guixiang Tower. She was a rather plump woman with colorful makeup. She had a graceful figure and a waist as thin as a willow. When walking, her plump figure could be vaguely recognized through her clothes.
She was not very beautiful, but she had a very good temperament. Everyone outside the door suddenly looked at her with straight eyes, and even women couldn't bear it.
The men all said to themselves: "What a vixen!"
I don’t know if Hao Laodao made his judgment based on this.
Only You Ziji in the audience, who is still young and has the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, has a pure heart and is unaffected.
This woman came out just for You Ziji. After all, no one wanted to offend the current top master of the Foundation Establishment Realm in Zijun City, especially a genius with potential.
She said to the gatekeeper: "How dare you collect more money? I wonder if the Taoist priest and the captain are the county guards? Who taught you!"
The gatekeeper hesitated and said: "You didn't say that..."
"Snapped!"
The woman raised her palm and slapped the gatekeeper on the face, saying angrily: "You charge more money privately, and you still have to quibble? Do you want to ruin my reputation, or do you want to cut off Guixianglou's financial path?" Get back here and I will teach you a lesson later."
Everyone knew that she was acting and something like this happened at the door. If she hadn't known about it, how could the people below have dared to make things difficult for He Laodao and his party.
"This person is the madam of Guixianglou." Hao Laodao finally regained his composure and whispered to You Ziji.
"Taoist Hao." The old bustard seemed to have heard Taoist Hao talking in a low voice, and the sound frightened him, "You came here this morning, and I told you then that our Guixiang Tower always pays attention to reputation. , the business you receive will not be given up halfway, you should stop your delusions, I don’t know if you have told the Sheriff."
Taoist priest Hao smiled and said, "That's not why we came here tonight."
The old bustard said: "If you are here to have fun, Guixiang Tower will naturally welcome you. Tonight is like making friends with Taoist Master Hao. You don't have to pay for all the food and drinks. I just don't know if Taoist Master Hao's body can bear it." I can bear it.”
Hao Laodao said quickly: "Don't dare, don't dare, I'm not here to play tonight, I'm here for my little brother's business. He wants to find a friend."
"Hahaha, Taoist Master He is joking. This is a brothel, not a street vendor selling information. You can't find anyone here." The old madam smiled brightly and attracted the attention of all the men.
"I want to ask about the monsters." You Ziji suddenly said.
The face of the old bustard changed, and his tone was a little serious, "Little brother, please don't joke around."
"I'm not kidding, I will give you a satisfactory price."
"What price can you offer?"
You Ziji held Xiao Huang in his arms and showed it to the Madam. He had been silent since the Madam came out. Perhaps he was frightened by the big monster in front of him.
Yes, You Ziji relied on his experience of daily contact with various monsters in Da Mian Lake, and he had confirmed that the madam in front of him was really a vixen, and his ability to charm others was exactly the same.
The madam looked at Xiao Huang intently and said, "This little guy is a bit interesting. If you give it to me, in exchange, I will tell you the news you want to know."
When Xiao Huang heard this, he trembled suddenly. You Ziji quickly stroked its hair to calm it down, and handed it to Hao Laodao.
"Sister, there is no need to play charades with me. You probably don't know what Xiao Huang has, but I know you must want it very much. You don't want to keep talking to me here."
The old bustard's eyes flashed slightly and he said for a long time: "Come with me. As for your friends, just have fun in Guixiang Tower."
Everyone entered the attic one after another.
Taoist Master Hao still didn't take out the fifteen taels after all, but he didn't return the previous thirty taels either.
