Zhang Shengli was humming a ditty while grilling meat.
Qu Xiong couldn't understand what he was humming, and he couldn't understand it either.
Smelling the aroma of the barbecue, dozens of people in the group were salivating, but they could only eat dry food.
"Did I say you are so afraid of me?"
Zhang Shengli cut off a piece of meat with a knife, took a small taste, and turned his attention to Qu Xiong and others.
"If you don't eat meat, why should you eat dry food?"
Zhang Shengli shook his head and smiled bitterly, then took out a bunch of fruits from the space.
"Want to try it? I have a lot more here!"
Qu Xiong swallowed his saliva almost subconsciously and shook his head quickly: "As long as we have dry food, we won't starve to death."
"Afraid I'll poison you?"
Zhang Shengli felt a little unhappy because he was treated like a donkey because of his good intentions, so he simply put away the fruit and kept one for himself.
"Sir, I just want to know, you said that my brother is in Dahuang Mountain. Is this true?"
"Do I need to lie to you?"
Zhang Shengli tore off a piece of barbecue in one gulp, oil stains spilled out of the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Qu Xiong tried not to let himself pay attention to the barbecue, and asked again: "I have been to Dahuang City, and I also know Chiyang."
"So what?"
Qu Xiong was slightly startled: "Dahuang Mountain is a desolate land, bounded by the Grand Canyon, and all to the north is barren land with no grass growing. There is a natural disaster that occurs every few decades, so it is impossible to survive."
Zhang Shengli didn't expect that Qu Xiong knew Dahuang so clearly.
"Believe it or not, not only Qu Feng is in Dahuang Mountain, but your little niece Qu Ting is also there. One has lost her legs and the other has lost her arms. I don't need to lie to you about this."
One bite of barbecue and one bite of fruit.
Zhang Shengli’s journey was very comfortable.
In this desolate land, there is no way to reach the sky or the ground. Except for a main road that occasionally passes by a convoy, there are no other pedestrians.
They just sat on the roadside, one eating barbecue and a group of people eating dry food, forming a sharp contrast.
"My niece is not dead?" Qu Xiong stood up again and put away the dry food in his hand.
"He didn't die. After being escorted to Dahuang City, he was rescued by a girl named Cuicui from the flower shop."
At this point, Zhang Shengli seemed to remember something and said, "That Cuicui seems to be Qu Feng's sister-in-law."
Qu Xiong frowned and sat down bitterly: "Where did my brother get his sister-in-law? My sister-in-law is the only daughter in the family."
"The people in the flower shop are all women who are greedy for money. If there is no profit, it is impossible to save people."
"That's weird!" Zhang Shengli laughed: "That girl Cuicui admitted it, Qu Feng also nodded, and even Xiao Qu Ting called her aunt."
"This relationship is a bit complicated. It seems that your brother is hiding something from me."
While talking, Zhang Shengli had already eaten a large piece of barbecue in his stomach, patted his belly, and continued: "Ignore the Cuicui thing for now, in short, Qufeng is indeed in Dahuang Mountain, and he is in charge of the affairs there.
The whole mess in Dahuang Mountain.”
"Then what is your identity?"
"Me?" Zhang Shengli patted the dust on his clothes and laughed: "I am the owner of Dahuang Mountain."
"This is impossible!" Qu Xiong was still a little skeptical at first, but now he is even more unconvinced.
"It is impossible for Dahuang City to allow Dahuang Mountain to form a force. This violates the rules."
"What rules?" Zhang Shengli said angrily: "Strength is the rule. I want to build a force in Dahuang Mountain. How dare Chi Yang say no?"
Qu Xiong turned his head to the side.
He couldn't refute this. Chi Yang would be at his peak the day after tomorrow. Even he could compete with him, let alone Zhang Shengli, who had innate strength.
"Dahuang City is different from other cities. Everyone in Fengtian is sending criminals there. If you build power there, you will not be an enemy of Dahuang City, but the entire Fengtian."
Zhang Shengli was noncommittal.
He also knew in his heart that he harbored a large number of war criminals.
It would be okay if he couldn't afford it. Now that he can support so many people, the outside world will naturally not let him form a force.
The reason why no one is taking care of it now is simply that Chi Yang, the lord of Dahuang City, is under his control and the news has not spread yet.
Now that their fruits have begun to be exported, it will only be a matter of time before word spreads. By then, as Qu Xiong said, they will really be enemies of the entire Fengtian.
If one or two cities didn't matter, what he was most worried about was the intervention of the Fengtian Dynasty.
"Okay, I don't want to discuss this issue with you. Now that we are outside the boundaries of Phosphorescent City, your crisis has been resolved. I will take the first step."
Having said this, Zhang Shengli suddenly thought of a question: "Do you have enough money?"
With that said, he directly took out a thick stack of money notes and threw it to Qu Xiong: "I haven't had time to exchange these things with Shi Jin for spiritual stones. You can keep them for the road."
He didn't want to take these people to the wilderness all the time.
With their pace, they would not be able to reach the wilderness without a few months.
After such a long time, the family still has to wait and go crazy?
After saying that, he ignored Qu Xiong who was in a daze and flew directly with his sword, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
"Boss, is what this person said true?"
Just as Zhang Shengli left, a voice sounded behind Qu Xiong.
"Whether what he said is true or false, now that there is news about my brother, we must go to this wilderness."
As Qu Xiong spoke, he put away the stack of money notes without ceremony, and his mind wandered nine days away.
"But what he said is not outrageous. I have heard about Chiyang. The city lord of Dahuang City is very powerful and will not surrender to anyone. What if..."
Qu Xiong's expression was a little complicated.
He understands these issues very well, and he also understands Chi Yang's character.
That is a villain who does all kinds of evil and does not give face to anyone. He relies on his identity as the Lord of Dahuang City to be his own City Lord in Dahuang City.
Each batch of criminals sent in will be charged a certain spiritual stone fee.
Then blow up the labor force of these criminals, drive them to the wilderness, and leave them to fend for themselves.
To put it bluntly, even if Qu Xiong becomes a criminal one day and is forced to go to Dahuang City, he will definitely be treated the same as those criminals and will not receive any preferential treatment.
"Then what if what he said is true?" Another person said: "If what he said is true and we did not go to the wilderness, wouldn't the military advisor..."
"go!"
Gritting his teeth, Qu Xiong said: "We have been hiding in Phosphorescent City for so long, just hoping that one day we will rise to power. Now that we have the opportunity, why don't we seize it?"
"As long as we find my brother and he gives a shout-out, our old troops will be able to return one after another. At that time, we can capture the Phosphorescent City and avenge the bloodshed of the city lord."
"We listen to the boss!"
At this time, someone stood up and shouted, and dozens of people responded at the same time.
