Could it be that Zhong Linggu exposed his identity?
A murderous intent flashed in Shen Cong's eyes.
He had told Zhong Linggu many times that he would never be allowed to reveal his identity. Unexpectedly, this guy still violated his oath.
After a simple meal, Shen Cong told the steward that he would leave Yuncheng for a while today.
He is the top guy in the shop, so naturally he gets whatever he says. The person in charge must not only agree, but also be cheerful.
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Shen Cong quickly came to Yun's house.
Zhong Linggu, who was practicing, was ruthlessly blasted away by a huge force before he could feel Shen Cong's aura.
boom--!
The powerful force caused him to crash through the wall, and the energy and blood in his body surged.
He quickly got up and looked at the place where Shen Cong, dressed in black, was standing.
Zhong Linggu did not dare to be careless, and immediately knelt down anxiously and asked:
"Why is the senior so angry suddenly? Did the junior do something wrong?"
Shen Cong said coldly:
"Did you tell others that there is a master behind the Zhong family?"
Zhong Linggu looked confused.
"Senior, where do you start talking about this? This junior has never dared to pass on your news even to my son."
Shen Cong slightly raised his eyebrows. Judging from the other party's appearance, he was indeed unaware.
Thinking about it carefully, Zhong Linggu is not a fool. If he rashly goes against his will, he may bring disaster to the Zhong family. He is not that stupid.
"There are already some rumors outside. You have to be responsible for settling this matter. Otherwise, the Zhong family will disappear from this world forever."
After saying this, Shen Cong turned and left, leaving only Zhong Linggu with a confused look on his face.
"I really didn't say anything! What happened?"
"master."
A group of Zhong family warriors heard the commotion here and quickly rushed in.
Seeing Zhong Linggu kneeling on the ground, a big hole had been opened in the wall of the room, he seemed to understand something in an instant, and slowly backed out.
"Quick, get out."
"That master is teaching me, please don't disturb them."
"If it delays the master's teaching, please don't skin us."
Zhong Linggu: "(˘•灬•˘)?"
What's going on?
So what happened?
How did these people know there was a master behind the Zhong family?
A series of question marks appeared in Zhong Linggu's head.
...
On the other side, Yuncheng Mansion Office.
"Yun City is a place of trouble. It is located on the border. There will be dangers for a long time. I hope Lord Bai will take care of himself."
"Thank you Captain Ruan for your concern. Since I have been trusted by the imperial court to serve as the acting city lord of Yuncheng, I will naturally work hard and not dare to slack off. I would like to congratulate Captain Ruan for being summoned back to the capital by the Zhenwu Division. It is expected that he will enter the world of divine martial arts." Further education has a bright future.”
Ruan Hongyu's expression was calm, not too troubled.
"Based on my current achievements and cultivation, I am still a little short of being able to enter the world of divine martial arts. If I can already enter in advance, it will be a good thing for me personally, but it may not be a good thing for Daxia."
City Lord Bai nodded.
"It's amazing that Lieutenant Ruan can see this step. The development strength of Daxia has gradually weakened over the years, and frictions between neighboring countries have become more frequent. Beimang in the northwest, Northern Qi in the north, the grassland tribes in the northeast, Dongliao and Xixia , Nanman...sooner or later there will be a battle to protect the country. From now on, it will all depend on you young people."
Ruan Hongyu nodded.
"This junior has one more request. There is very likely a third-grade strong man in this Cloud City. I hope City Lord Bai can find him. If he can be found and serve the imperial court, it may be another good thing for our Daxia Sheji. Big credit.”
"A strong man of the third rank? I have heard about it a little bit. Since Captain Ruan has said this, I will definitely do my best."
"Thank you."
...
A few days later, the originally peaceful Qingzhou Mansion suddenly began to become restless.
Countless amounts of gold and silver were suddenly stolen from many cottages in a row, causing people to panic.
Even many century-old villages have suffered heavy losses.
Ever since, a rumor has emerged in the world.
There is a master of chivalry and righteousness who has been in seclusion for decades. His skills are profound and have reached the level of a master. In order to punish evil thieves, he steals ill-gotten wealth, robs the rich, gives to the poor, and gives to the poor.
The people respected him as the 'Thief Saint'!
It means a saint among thieves. Although he steals and robs, it is a great act of justice and good deeds.
For a time, all the treacherous people in the world were in panic. There were actually fewer criminals, for fear of encountering the legendary thief.
If you lose money, it's a small matter, but once you lose your life, everything is over.
And the initiators of all this, Shen Cong and Shen Dathief, had just exchanged hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes from the largest bank in Daxia, and their baggage had become more and more bulging.
After Shen Congcong left Yuncheng, he entered the village whenever he saw it and robbed the bandits whenever he saw it. He would not let anyone go.
When you finally come out, of course you have to act zheng, dian, wai, kuai.
The bandits in Dacheng County haven't robbed for more than a year. This time they looted a lot more leeks. However, because they had robbed too many leeks before, their foundations were damaged. The new bandits' foundations are weak, so they are strict. Said, the money is not much.
Based on this, Shen Cong changed his strategy slightly from killing bandits on sight. If he didn't have a strong murderous aura, he would let a horse go, but if he had a bloody murderous aura, he would definitely kill him.
In this way, the evil can be eradicated, and the inheritance of the bandits will not be cut off, and they can be cut again when they have time in the future.
What surprised him was that after leaving the territory of Dacheng County, the villages outside were all rich, because they had never had leeks cut by him before.
Therefore, along the way, Shen Cong earned a net profit of two million taels just from his property.
And he was just doing it casually. This was simply the most cost-effective deal.
I just suffered a lot from those bandits, and I am afraid I will have to tighten my belt to live a better life.
...
At this moment, eight hundred miles outside Qingzhou Prefecture, on a hillside called Laoniupo, several rough men were squatting, holding steel forks or kitchen knives in hand.
The weather was hot, and everyone's arms were split open. Sweat flowed down the fat body and wet the clothes.
"Boss, you said that the Thieves are so rampant now, if we still come out to look for work, will the boat capsize in the gutter?"
"Yes, boss, my cousin on the hill next door has been saving money for several years. He couldn't bear to eat or wear clothes. He finally saved fifteen taels of silver and planned to go down the mountain to marry a wife and live a life. All of them were killed by the thief saint. After sweeping away everything, he was so angry that he washed his hands in the golden basin and went down the mountain to go home and farm. We won't encounter the Thief Saint, right?"
"Look at how cowardly you are. Have you forgotten what I do? I used to be a fish seller! What do fish sellers do?"
