Shangguan Silong looked calm and continued to read the instructions. The guard who reported the report responded and immediately retreated. After a while, a strong man wearing a black hat and gray robe slowly walked into the door.
He sat on the chair where he started.
"Based on your position, you shouldn't be here."
His tone was calm, without raising his head, but when he spoke, he made it clear the relationship between the two parties. They were soldiers, and the other party was a thief. At best, they were just gangsters who relied on shady means to make a living. Strictly speaking, there was no relationship between the two high-level officials.
There will be no contact.
Of course, now, he was just pretending to be dumbfounded. He knew the purpose of the other party's coming, but he just didn't say it.
Anyway, it's not him who's anxious.
"I came here today for a subordinate."
Li Xiang looked serious, and slowly took off the bamboo hat on his head. He glanced up and down, observing the legendary city lord.
Although he didn't know much about this person's strength, in this era of advocating martial arts, having high martial arts skills did not necessarily mean he was in a high position, but those who were in high positions must have high martial arts skills.
To be able to serve as the lord of a city, one must first be a first-rate master, or even a super first-rate being.
Facing such a top figure, even he did not dare to be careless. He breathed lightly and carefully felt the differences between the two sides. Although they had never fought each other, there was always a special feeling between strong men.
Especially his own strength is stronger than the average first-class master, especially in terms of perception.
Even though the other party didn't show any hostility, he still felt like he was being stabbed in the back.
"Oh?" Shangguan Silong raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Go on."
"This junior is here for the first time. If you are not polite enough, please bear with me. This is a 500-year-old ginseng. Not only can you beautify your face, but it can also activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, making you have dragon essence."
The wonderful functions of Tiger Fierce cannot be explained in detail one by one. It is just a little bit of my thoughts from the younger generation, so please accept it."
Presenting the half-meter-long dark red box forward, Li Xiang paused for a moment. When Zhao Chengkun took it away after receiving the signal from the city lord, he continued: "I wonder if the city lord can use me? I can do what I can.
, never refuse."
"Good boy."
After hearing these remarks, Shangguan Silong finally raised his head, showed admiration, and said: "I originally thought you would angrily ask for punishment, or beg me to give an explanation and let your men go, but let me
Surprisingly, you did it so happily."
Although five-hundred-year-old ginseng was precious, it was nothing to a person of his level. What really impressed him was Li Xiang's attitude.
Being angry and angry is not your skill. Only when you can bend and stretch can you be a husband.
Warriors are inherently strong-willed and have bad tempers, and this is especially true for contemporary young people. There are many people who think they are invincible after learning some three-legged cat kung fu.
In such a big environment, there is a person with such a unique personality, how can he not appreciate it?
After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "If you satisfy me, then I won't do that. Your subordinates, according to the law of the imperial court, will either be beheaded or sent to labor camps. However, that is the imperial court's responsibility."
My rules, not mine. This is Beibo City."
"Senior, please make it clear." Li Xiang's tone was respectful, and his heart was like a mirror. If the city lord had nothing to do, he would never talk so much nonsense.
But the officials are very particular about asking you to do things, and if they don't go to you, they will think of ways to get you to come to them and beg to help them do things.
Of course, you can also refuse, but the prerequisite is that your fist must be big enough, otherwise just wait to be beaten. After beating you up, I will let you do things.
To put the facts and make sense, his fists are quite big, and he also has a group of subordinates with equally big fists. But compared with the government, they are far behind. They are just trivial and not worth mentioning.
"Some time ago, I received an order from the imperial court. The fugitive Sherbo will arrive near Beibo City soon. I want your Qingzhu Gang to cooperate in the arrest."
Shangguan Silong's face was calm and he didn't hesitate to speak directly.
"May I ask what kind of strength that Sherbo is?"
Li Xiang had an unpleasant feeling in his heart. What kind of ruthless person made the government feel troublesome, so he asked for help from a group of people like them?
In fact, he didn't need to think too much, he already vaguely had the answer.
“Superb.”
Sure enough, what Shangguan Silong said the next moment confirmed Li Xiang's guess, and he suddenly fell silent. Su Xin's confrontation with him before had profoundly made him realize that the super-class was unfathomable.
He had no confidence that he could compete with a top-notch master who was reserved and went all out.
"Don't worry, you are only participating in the operation as auxiliaries. The government is the main force. Moreover, in addition to your Qingzhu Gang, the auxiliary forces include the Santanhui, Zhang Family, Bandit Gang and other forces."
Seemingly sensing Li Xiang's worries, Shangguan Silong comforted him nicely, saying that a good tiger cannot fight against a pack of wolves. Even a super-class who claims to have surpassed human limits will be constrained in his actions when faced with a large enough number of enemies.
A slight difference can make a difference of a thousand miles. In a battle at the same level, one person is alone and the other has a group of helpers. Even if the group of helpers is weak, the balance of victory will be greatly tilted.
"Have they agreed?" Li Xiang was slightly surprised.
"They will agree."
Shangguan Silong's voice was calm, and the tyranny revealed in it left Li Xiang speechless. It seemed that this person had not yet discussed it with the others, but according to his status, other forces might not dare to refuse.
The two chatted again for a while, and then he began to put forward the core purpose of his visit.
"I wonder when my subordinates will be released?"
"You can take them away now."
Once a consensus was reached, Shangguan Silong was very straightforward. With a wave of his hand, he let go of a group of people who had previously been characterized as lawless, murderous and troublemakers.
Today's imperial court is increasingly unable to restrain various places, and even remote towns like Beibo City are his one-note voice and a well-deserved local emperor.
…
Bang bang bang.
The sound of collisions continued, one wooden man after another was beaten to pieces by fists, and a strong figure moved quickly in the field.
This situation lasted for half an hour.
"call……"
Li Xiang took a long breath and said softly: "The Bronze Arm Fist is done."
Big beads of sweat slid down his bronzed skin, which was sharp and angular, like the strong muscles piled together by dense rats that kept squirming with his breathing.
Coupled with his height of about two meters, he is extremely oppressive, as if his appearance tells his enemies, don't even think about it, if you go against him, you will not end well.
Thanks to the fact that he had practiced Black Devil Palm before, his arm strength had also increased a lot, so it didn't take him a few days to get started with the Bronze Arm Kung Fu.
What really makes him feel strenuous is the Chuanyun legs. The accumulation of muscle mass also represents his weight. Now, even under normal conditions, he weighs 230 kilograms.
With such a heavy weight, an ordinary person would be out of breath even if he could walk a few steps, let alone practice his body movements.
Even for him, it took him nearly twice as long as the Bronze Arm Fist to get started with Chuanyun Kick.
"Nowadays, the Bronze Arm Kung Fu and the Cloud-Piercing Leg have reached the entry-level level, and a large number of various rare and rare treasures have been collected. We are just waiting for the upgrade of the Heavenly Book with Words to be completed."
He had some expectations. If he practiced all these martial arts to the transformation state, what wonderful changes would happen?
Practicing martial arts is an extremely time-consuming project. Even if one is extremely talented and has no shortage of resources, it will take at least ten years to practice a martial art to a state of perfection.
This premise is that for most people, it is enough to choose one martial art throughout their lives. Even if there are people with outstanding talents who become first-class masters at a young age, they will not waste time learning other martial arts, because
As long as they have magic weapons and become military masters, they can reach the super-class level and become the ones that all living beings can only look up to.
And those who do not have magic weapons and want to increase their strength will choose to practice other martial arts.
But it is very difficult for those people to achieve anything. Even if they have practiced both martial arts to the realm of transformation, how many years do they have left in their lifespan?
Life only lasts for a hundred years, and warriors have been fighting with others all year round, and have accumulated countless hidden wounds. It is not easy to die at the end of their lives. Those who live long and powerful belong only to those who are in a high position and have abnormal strength.
"Drink some water."
At this time, Zhang Yuexi, who was waiting nearby, trotted over and handed over a thirty-centimeter wooden bottle with a blushing face.
Li Xiang came to his senses and said nothing. He picked up the wooden bottle and began to drink water in small sips. He swallowed it in three gulps. He had just finished a strenuous exercise and it was best not to overeat, even if his current physical condition was no longer good.
He still maintained his original habits even if he needed to care about those things.
Suddenly, a jade hand wiped his cheek with a fragrant handkerchief, and the sticky sweat was quickly wiped away.
Looking down, she saw Zhang Yuexi standing on tiptoes, looking at him seriously, sliding the handkerchief from her cheek to her neck.
This scene had been going on for several days, and he gradually got used to it.
This Miss Zhang came to him every now and then. When she came, she would usually bring a lot of food, or martial arts secrets that she got from nowhere, and sometimes she would also bring some rare treasures. She would often watch him practice and show concern for him.
His body and mind are simply self-evident.
"I was born in poverty and have been weak since I was a child. Even though I am strong now, in fact, there are internal injuries inside. My kidneys are worthless and cannot be exchanged for apples14."
Li Xiang's tone was sincere.
"..."
Although she didn't know what the Apple 14 was or what the relationship between her actions and kidneys was, Zhang Yuexi vaguely understood that this guy seemed to have misunderstood something.
She bit her red lips lightly, hesitated to speak, cursed "idiot" under her breath, turned around and ran towards the door.
The gang members stationed there have become accustomed to Miss Zhang's presence these days, and since the gang leader didn't say anything, they didn't stop her.
"Master Li, Miss Zhang needs a good background and good looks. Why did you reject her?"
At this time, Zhong Can walked in from the door with a look of confusion on his face. If it were a normal superior-subordinate relationship, it would naturally be inappropriate for a subordinate to ask his superior why.
But he was different. He fought side by side with Li Xiang when he was still in power. He had a deep friendship with him and was deeply trusted by him. He was like a brother in daily dealings with him.
Precisely for this reason, it was not considered too polite for him to ask directly.
"What right do people like us, who live in precarious situations, have the right to fall in love? If one day we lose our heads, wouldn't we be hurting others?"
Li Xiang's voice was calm and his eyes were looking at the sky, a little dull. Although he was not a genius with quick thinking, he was not ignorant of the world. He could still see clearly whether the other party was plotting against him or sincerely.
But sometimes, in life, you can't just do whatever you want.
"You are now a first-rate master, with hundreds of younger brothers under you. Yuan Gang and I are no less powerful than ordinary second-rate masters. Isn't this power enough?" This chapter has been completed!
