Chapter 11 All to me to dig coal(1/2)
The next day, a fat man wearing silk clothes entered the Xuanwu Gate.
Behind him were three followers, all of them skinny, in stark contrast to him.
"Isn't this Boss Huang in the city?" said a disciple who had met him once.
Boss Huang is a well-known local mining boss who made a fortune from coal mining in his early years.
After Zhong Lifei exchanged a few words with him, he called all his disciples to come out and line up to welcome him.
Chu Fan thought to himself: "It's such a grand ceremony. Could it be that Master owes him a loan shark that he hasn't repaid, right?"
Boss Huang had no airs at all and took the initiative to shake hands with all the disciples, squeezing each other's shoulders and patting their chests from time to time.
His overly enthusiastic behavior confused his disciples, thinking that he had a special hobby.
Zhong Lifei smiled and said, "Boss Huang, are you satisfied with my disciples?"
"Not bad, not bad! Every one of them is lively and vigorous, which makes me very satisfied!"
After hesitating for a moment, Boss Huang pointed at the Ninth Senior Brother and said, "But I don't dare to ask for this one."
Hey, what do you mean by this? Has the Ninth Senior Brother ever offended him?
All eyes turned to the Ninth Senior Brother who had difficulty with his legs and feet.
"Oh, why did I forget about his situation?"
Zhong Lifei slapped his forehead and said, "Then keep him in the gang and the others will follow you."
Boss Huang nodded and said, "That's very good. I will send someone to bring him living expenses in the middle of every month to ensure that he has enough food and clothing."
"Thank you, Boss Huang."
After saying that, the two of them walked into the hall to drink tea, arm in arm.
The disciples were so frightened that they lost their minds.
From the tone of their voices, it sounds like the boss sold everyone to rich families as slaves!
Li Fang couldn't hold himself back and shouted quickly: "Master, what do you mean?"
"Don't get excited, everyone!"
Zhong Lifei turned around and said: "Three years after I left, the Xuanwu Sect lost its backbone, and it was a problem for you to eat and drink. Why not let Boss Huang take care of everyone before I left? You must behave well when you go, and don't embarrass me."
"Oh, so that's it."
The disciples breathed a sigh of relief and then became happy.
Although Boss Huang is not as rich as Bai Zhongfa, he is still one of the best in Gushe Country. If you live in his house, you will definitely be popular and drink spicy food. You will not miss Shu!
"Wow!"
Everyone ran to Boss Huang, vying to fawn over him.
Senior Brother Ninth was unhappy and said with a grimace: "Master, don't abandon me! When the time comes, I will be the only one left in the gang. What should I do if something goes wrong?"
Zhong Lifei said: "If you have any problem, just write to Boss Huang and he will definitely solve it for you."
Boss Huang also said: "Don't be sad, little brother, I am doing this for your own good! Where I am, I have to work in a mine that is tens of feet deep every day. It is better to stay at home and be comfortable."
Li Fang was stunned when he heard this, and said in a daze: "Boss Huang, you don't want us to dig coal for you, do you?"
"That's exactly what Master Zhongli means. Normally, the workers at my place earn six taels of silver a day. I'll give each of you one, two and five taels of silver, including food and accommodation. Isn't that interesting?"
Damn it, the boss really sold us and sold us to dig coal in the deep mountains and old forests!
It was hard, tiring, and high-risk work, and one could die if a mine caved in.
The disciples instantly glared at Zhong Lifei angrily.
Li Fang's eyes widened even more, and he almost jumped up and beat the leader to death.
But Zhong Lifei's eyes were as sinister and terrifying as those of a demon, and could kill people.
Li Fang was scared, and immediately vented his anger on Boss Huang.
"Huang, you go too far and dare to humiliate us knights who uphold justice!"
Boss Huang said coldly: "So you don't want to give Mr. Huang face and don't want to work to make money?"
"Get out, get out! If you dare to say another word, I will punch you to death!" Li Fang made a threatening gesture.
"Master Zhongli, your disciple is quite angry!" Boss Huang turned around and said.
Zhong Lifei said with a smile: "Oh, it's all my fault for being negligent in discipline. I will have to trouble my brother to give me more guidance in the future."
This was what Boss Huang was waiting for, and he immediately said to a follower: "Zhang Cheng, go and enlighten this little brother and tell him not to be so impulsive."
Without saying a word, the follower named Zhang Cheng pulled out a leather whip from his waist and shook it in the wind. The whip made a crisp and bright "snap" sound.
All the disciples were stunned and said to themselves: "You trash, you dare to whip Senior Brother, do you want to die?"
Everyone thought that the thin Zhang Cheng was trying to scare his senior brother.
If he really wanted to use force, Li Fang would punch down and keep the opponent's bones falling apart.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Cheng showed no mercy at all and whipped Li Fang viciously in the face!
As soon as his whip moved, Li Fang quickly jumped up and flew backwards, causing the whip to miss.
"Beat him to death! Let him know how powerful the Xuanwu Sect is!"
The crowd was excited, and the disciples encouraged Li Fang to do cruel things.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Cheng pressed forward, followed by the second whip.
Seeing that Zhang Cheng's moves were ordinary, Li Fang bullied him as a slave who knew a little bit about martial arts, and immediately followed the wind and grabbed him.
In an instant, he caught the whip that was thrown at him.
"Pour it for me!"
Amidst the angry shouts, Li Fang pulled hard.
If nothing unexpected happened, Zhang Cheng's thin body was immediately pulled into the air, and then he fell down and suffered a big loss.
However, the anger on Li Fang's face solidified in an instant.
He was surprised to find that his legs were stretched out as if they were nailed to the ground. No matter how hard he tried, the other party would not move at all.
"Ah, he is a martial arts master!" Everyone exclaimed.
At this time, Zhang Cheng spoke: "Hey, I'm afraid it's more than that."
For a moment, the surrounding airflow seemed to stop, but suddenly it started moving again.
Zhang Cheng's leather whip turned into a vine full of vitality, growing countless spikes!
"Ouch!"
Li Fang screamed in pain and immediately let go, his palms dripping with blood.
"not good!"
Chu Fan, who was watching the battle, was the first to realize what kind of martial arts master this was!
Zhang Cheng is a hidden immortal cultivator, and his level is not that of the dead Master Liu.
Fighting against him, senior brother, is like an egg against a rock!
Li Fang was not a fool. As soon as he realized that he had made a mistake, he ran away faster than a rabbit.
Zhang Cheng held the whip in his hand, but his body flew up at the same moment, like a giant.
Before anyone arrived, Xiu arrived first and brushed against Li Fang's back.
With seemingly a gentle flick, the powerful aura is immediately revealed.
Li Fangru was struck by lightning and his body fell softly, motionless.
Seeing Zhang Cheng's vicious attack on his senior brother, some disciples became angry.
They failed to see the situation clearly like Chu Fan did, and surrounded Zhang Cheng arrogantly, wanting to avenge Li Fang.
Zhang Cheng sneered, with an arrogant expression, and regarded everyone as nothing.
The other two followers who were watching the battle also sneered several times and floated over like ghosts.
I saw one of them raise his arm, forming a magic seal with one hand, and five red flames rose up from his fingers and danced wildly.
In the blink of an eye, they fell around the Xuanwu Sect disciples according to the directions of the five elements, turning into a terrifying sea of red lotus blood.
The other person was not idle either. He raised his hands toward the sky, and thousands of beams of light shot out, intertwining into a huge sword net in the air, as if they were about to fall down at any time and kill everyone.
Facing this extremely terrifying scene, all the disciples were shocked.
Fighting with such a tyrannical master practitioner is simply suicidal.
"Master, save me!"
Li Fang, who was pretending to be dead, reacted the fastest, rolling and crawling, hugging Zhong Lifei's thigh, trembling all over.
"Whatever you ask me for, I have to ask Boss Huang to forgive me!"
