In the governor's mansion.
Zhang Yao and Li Xiaofeng also exchanged some cultivation experiences during their chat.
In fact, at the stage of Grandmaster, martial arts has reached its peak and it is difficult to increase in strength. After all, all potential has been tapped.
usually:
The first few years of cultivating Qi are the peak of a master's strength. Later, as the Qi and blood gradually decline, the strength will gradually decline.
For someone as old as Grandmaster Wang, it is already very good to be able to exert 60-70% of his strength.
"Brother Zhang..."
The two communicated for a moment, and Li Xiaofeng couldn't hold it back and expressed his desire to invite Zhang Yao to join the Caogang.
This was the real purpose of his visit to Zhang Yao this time.
If a grandmaster can win over the Cao Gang, he can instantly overwhelm the merchant alliance and the government and become the leading overlord in Jiangzhou.
However, as soon as he revealed his intention, Zhang Yao decisively rejected him.
He came here to enjoy the blessings of being a county guard, not to be a thug.
No matter how good the conditions offered by Li Xiaofeng were, he would not take it seriously. After all, no matter how generous the treatment was, there was no way Li Xiaofeng would abdicate in favor of someone more talented and let him be the leader of the Cao Gang.
"That's such a shame..."
Li Xiaofeng felt a little regretful, but did not insist and quickly changed the topic.
The two chatted for half an hour before Li Xiaofeng said goodbye and left. Zhang Yao personally sent him out of the governor's mansion.
After Li Xiaofeng returned to the Caobang Branch, the helmsman of the Baihe Branch led his people to greet him:
"Gang leader, how's it going?"
"Everyone has his own ambition."
Li Xiaofeng shook his head and said:
"This Mr. Zhang has amazing talent. He has become a grandmaster at a young age. He will definitely not be willing to succumb to others."
"But you don't have to worry. I think his idea is very simple. He just wants to enjoy it after practicing martial arts for many years and getting ahead."
"You should follow his wishes and don't disobey him if you have any ideas. If you prepare generous gifts during the holidays, he won't be able to trouble us for nothing."
After hearing his words, Captain Baihe was a little disappointed, but at the same time secretly relieved.
If there is no necessity, no one is willing to be an enemy of a grandmaster, not even Li Xiaofeng.
Since the county guard, Mr. Zhang, did not interfere in the specific affairs of Baihe City and just wanted to enjoy it from above, this is the best ending.
…………
Happy days always pass quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yao has been the county guard in Baihe City for more than two years.
The people of Baihe City have gradually become accustomed to this Mr. Zhang who likes luxury, delicious food and beautiful women.
Some anecdotes about him are often circulated on the streets:
A certain peasant girl was attracted by Mr. Zhang who was out for fun and took her into the house. The family immediately ascended to heaven, moved into the city and became rich, attracting the envy of everyone.
During a trip to the lake, Mr. Zhang showed his unparalleled martial arts skills and saved several people who had capsized and fell into the water. This became a legend for a while.
Some gossips say that Mr. Zhang does not want to leave any heirs, so he likes to do it outside every time, but the little goblins are not happy and often fight with him in battles of wits and courage...
I even heard that he invented many new styles of clothes specifically for the beautiful maids in the county governor's mansion, but no one had ever actually seen them.
Gradually, the various interesting stories and rumors about Mr. Zhang became a daily topic of conversation among the people of Baihe City.
Although no one dared to say anything bad about him, various speculations and discussions were always widely circulated in private, and everyone was very enthusiastic about participating.
Arranging jokes about big shots is also one of the sources of joy for the people at the bottom.
On this day, a luxurious building boat was floating on Baibo Lake.
Zhang Yao was lying on the deck of the ship, his rocking chair swaying, and the little maid beside him was peeling grapes for him to eat.
"...Is what you said true or false?"
He ate grapes and said vaguely: "That 'Pingbo Dragon King' also met the gods in Baibo Lake?"
"Really, everyone is saying this!"
The maid who peeled the grapes for him said with a smile:
"I heard that Gang Leader Li was just a son of a fisherman's family in Baihe City at first. His family was extremely poor and his life was very difficult."
"Until one day, when he was fishing in Baibo Lake, he bumped into the gods and rewarded him with some miraculous medicine, which opened his eyes."
"After that, he joined the Cao Gang and worked from the bottom. He quickly stood out and gradually became the leader, helmsman, and finally the gang leader!"
Zhang Yao laughed and said nonchalantly:
"Where did this all come from?"
"I have met Li Xiaofeng in person. He is almost the same as me. He is just good at martial arts."
"If he says he has seen any gods or knows any magic, I would be the first to not believe him."
"Do you still think that because his nickname is 'Pingbo Dragon King', he really becomes the Dragon King?"
The maid pouted and said unconvinced:
"This news was told to me personally by my grandfather."
"It is said that it was said by Gang Leader Li himself back then. He said that he saw the immortal who walked on the water without a trace, and there was a big fuss at that time."
"But after several decades, not many people have heard of it."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yao sat up straight and snorted:
"Treading on water makes no trace, right?"
"Then open your eyes and take a good look."
As soon as he finished speaking, he already made a vertical leap, directly over the boat and onto the lake.
Many maids on the deck of the building suddenly let out a cry of surprise, but then their eyes widened.
"Pop!" "Pap!" "Pap!"...
Zhang Yao's body shape changed at an astonishing speed. He stepped on the water without actually sinking.
Take a closer look:
Each of his feet stepped heavily on the lake. With such huge force, it should have exploded into sky-high waves like a huge boulder falling. However, under his incomparable strength control and use of his true energy, only a small amount of water was splashed. Small splash.
The huge force bombarded the water surface, shaking the undercurrents. At the same time, it also lifted his body and immediately flew towards the next place.
With absolute speed and amazing skills, Zhang Yao actually achieved the legend of "walking on water without leaving a trace".
"Bang!"
He stepped on the water and made a circle, landed on the building boat again, and said proudly:
"How's it going? Did you see clearly?"
"It's just a matter of treading water without leaving a trace, your master, I can do it too."
A group of maids immediately gathered around, all talking:
"Master is so awesome!"
"My master's martial arts skills are simply unparalleled..."
Zhang Yao heard their compliments and admiration, enjoyed their adoring eyes, and immediately burst into laughter.
"I will never get tired of such a good life in a hundred years."
