I'm the only player

Chapter 136 [Things Are Different Than Before]

The owner of King Kong Hall stood at the gate of the county town, looking very high-spirited.

The two soldiers guarding the city gate pretended not to see anything. Although they didn't know who the people in front of them were, they were not blind. They looked at their huge bodies and muscles that looked like they were cut by knives and axes.

Just by poking it there, people felt extremely oppressive. If you didn't pay attention and went up to it at this time, you would be asking for trouble. If you were beaten up, it would be worth it.

They can be arrogant to ordinary people and even extort money from them.

For the tough guy?
All I can say is show some respect.

"Walk."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people, led by Ma Long, entered one after another.

The refugees who were squatting on the ground slurping porridge could only watch them enter the city with envy.

"Clang clang clang!"

The person in charge of distributing porridge hit the iron pot with an iron spoon, attracting countless people's attention.

"Listen carefully, tomorrow is the last day stipulated by Dayun." The so-called last day referred to the ancestral precept of Taizu of this dynasty, which stated that in every county under the rule of the dynasty, refugees passing through must be provided with porridge for three days. Anyone who fails to do so will be executed immediately.

"Tomorrow, do what you need to do. The grain in our Leting County doesn't come out of thin air." After he finished speaking, the manager directed his men to clean up the messy porridge shed.

After drinking the porridge, a group of refugees returned to the makeshift shabby shelters with numb expressions. They were not allowed to enter the city. The county magistrate was afraid of disturbing public order and delaying his promotion; the county residents were afraid of getting into trouble. There were lessons in the history of the county.

After all, no one can predict what kind of sensational and vicious things the refugees who are desperate for their lives will do under extreme circumstances.

On the other side, the people from the King Kong Boxing Gym who had just entered the city were very eye-catching. A large group of people, all of them were huge and muscular, and they were all wearing the same uniform and had logos on their chests, which showed that they were from the boxing gym.

The three major boxing gyms in Leting County were naturally well-known to the people in the county. The trainers from outside represented the challengers. The crowd of spectators could not help but whisper to each other, and it was fun to watch.

In ancient times, there were no entertainment activities. Or rather, entertainment activities belonged to the rich families. The common people were satisfied to fill their stomachs on weekdays. If they could occasionally listen to music in a brothel, it would be great.

Therefore, gossip is the best way for ordinary people to pass the time, and more importantly, it doesn't cost money. It all depends on one's mouth, the imagination of the brain, and a little bit of exaggeration.

"Hahaha, Master." A group of people suddenly emerged from the crowd. The leader was none other than the second son of the Zhao family, who had become a disciple of Ma Long in Qinghe Town in the past.

This man is quite interesting. When Qian Laosan returned to Leting County, he left immediately without any hesitation. To be honest, if Zhao Laoer was a woman, Qian Laosan would marry her and live a life of respect and equality.

"Jin Tong, thank you for your help."

Master Ma patted Mr. Zhao Er on the shoulder and said.

So his name is Zhao Jintong?
He Sheng only knew the other person's name today since he first met him.

Having said that, Mr. Zhao is a bit partial. He named the boys gold and the girls silver.

"Hey, I'm a disciple of the boxing gym. What's the trouble? Everyone, where is my junior brother? I have booked two tables of wine and banquet at Zuixianlou to welcome you all. Please follow me."

When did the burly Ma Long get involved with the Zhao family?
Zhao Jintong said that he personally hosted the banquet, but in fact it was most likely with the tacit approval of Mr. Zhao, or even his assignment.

He Sheng's eyes rolled around. He vaguely remembered someone saying that the three major boxing gyms were supported by the three major families. It seemed that Jiang Yu's master, Jiang Wannian, the Soul Chaser, was supported by the Zhao family.

The group of people came in a grand procession, and after about two incense sticks of time, they finally arrived at Zuixian Tower.

Everyone entered the restaurant and went up to the second floor, where the huge wing room looked at the familiar decorations and furnishings. He was silent. He thought it might be a duplicate, but who would have thought it was a 100% replica.

"."

Wow, it turns out Zuixianlou is an ancient version of a chain store.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

The person who spoke was the elder sister of Mr. Zhao Er, who had once personally recruited someone - Zhao Yinling.

When a group of people entered the room, she was already waiting inside.

He Sheng, Ma Long, the eldest sister, and the Zhao brothers and sisters sat at the first table. The remaining old men from the boxing gym, Zhao Wu, and the Zhao family's guards sat at two tables.

"Everyone, don't go home until you are drunk today."

Zhao Jintong, the local tyrant of Leting County, was the first to raise his glass and drink it all in one gulp.

"it is good!"

Everyone cheered in unison, and then began to toast.

After eating and drinking, He Sheng got up and left, heading for the terrace.

He held the railing with his hands and looked down at the guests coming and going downstairs, feeling quite emotional. Once upon a time, his biggest wish was that the sunflowers would never bloom.

Now, I can actually overlook the streets and look up at the stars in the best restaurant in the county.

"Mr. He, what are you thinking about?"

A sweet voice like a silver bell sounded from behind. I didn't need to turn around to know it was the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. "Nothing."

What could he say?

Are sunflowers blooming?

"I never thought that, after only being apart for a while, Mr. He is now a completely different person and has become the eldest senior brother of the Vajra Boxing Gym." You can call him senior brother casually, but you must not use it casually after adding the word "big" in front of it.

Basically, those who are given the title of Big Brother are the future heirs of the boxing gym.

The owner of a museum is considered a big shot in LeTing County.

"I didn't expect that either."

"Mr. He, do you know that a big event happened in Leting County some time ago?" Zhao Yinling came to his left side, holding the railing with her hand, and said casually.

"Are you referring to the murder of Third Master Qian? I heard about it from my junior fellow apprentice who experienced the turmoil at Qingfeng Tower that night. It is said that a big shot in the county city died at that time."

How could I not know, since I was the one who did it?

"Since then, I feel that the fight between the three old guys is meaningless. Or rather, it doesn't make much sense. In Leting County, Zhao, Qian, and Sun are very powerful, but what if they meet someone with even greater power?

A big shot in the county town died in Qingfeng Tower, and someone came to investigate the next day. Just one sentence made the three families and the entire county government run around without a single complaint.

Because the other party had a higher official position, because the young master of the Qian family died in Qingfeng Tower, and because my brother was also competing with the Qian family for favor in Qingfeng Tower.

As for the Sun family, no one died, and there was no jealousy. However, they still had to perform well. They dared not neglect it, and dared not work without effort.

In seven days, a total of tens of thousands of taels of silver were spent on entertaining the people. This did not include the gifts taken away by the investigators when they left. The three old men were afraid that the other party would not accept them, so they casually wrote a few ambiguous words in the transcript, implicated by the death of the big shot.

Finally, perhaps out of respect, he revealed a little bit. The attackers were indeed targeting the big shots in the county, and the young master of the Qian family was just implicated.

Mr. Qian clearly lost his son, but he didn't dare to mention it. It was as if the dead person was just an insignificant guy. Even so, he had to smile every day and couldn't show any dissatisfaction.

The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad?

Another wealthy family who deep down feels that their status is nobler than that of ordinary people.

"Ms. Zhao, can I ask why you want to give up Jiang Wannian?" He Sheng didn't want to continue arguing with her about the meaning of life or something like that. Damn, do you know how scared I was when I came into this world?
If you are afraid of big shots, then you should work hard to climb up and become a big shot. If he hadn't worked hard, he would have been killed by others or died under the fireflies of the mountain people.

"Haha, the Jiangs are dishonest. They flirted with the Qian family and even accepted Mr. Qian's brother-in-law as their official disciple. Jiang Yu is indeed quite capable, but he is not qualified to be Jiang Wannian's disciple.

Since he doesn't follow the rules, then in order to maintain the balance in the county, it is natural to replace him with someone else. Although the King Kong Hall Master seems reckless, he actually acts within the rules. Otherwise, why would we tolerate his outrageous behavior?
For example, the previous senior brother of the King Kong Boxing Gym was killed. Mr. He, can you see that your master has gone crazy and is looking for someone who might have taken action to take revenge?

Don't use your case as an example. That was a case of the mountain people being caught. If you break the rules, you have to pay the price. Given the situation at the time, no matter how much trouble the King Kong Hall Master made, our three major families would not care. "

rule?

Ha ha.

He Sheng was full of disdain for Miss Zhao's words.

Jiang Wannian does not follow the rules and hooks up with the other party's money master. Is that following the rules?
Why didn’t you notice that your Zhao family was making moves on the Qian family, and even fighting to the death?

If Ma Long was not strong, he would have been crushed to death by the three families long ago.

To put it bluntly, the final right to interpret the rules lies in the hands of the three masters Zhao, Qian, and Sun. The only thing that can make them talk to each other on an equal footing is their fists.

"It's getting late." He left Zhao Yinling alone on the terrace and returned to the wing room. He knew clearly that the other party wanted to recruit him, but things were different now.

He was no longer the young disciple who had just entered the outer courtyard. Why did he leave the great Vajra Boxing Gym and go to serve others as a lowly servant?

That's why Miss Zhao didn't say it out loud because she knew it was impossible.

Regret?
Billion points.

It was just that at that time, based on the other party's qualifications, he could only provide those conditions. Who would have thought that if he didn't make a sound, he would be amazing.

"Oh~~~"

She opened her mouth, looked at his back, and sighed.

What a pity, what a pity!
"Master, the time is set for noon tomorrow. Let me wish you a successful start!" As soon as he entered the room, Zhao Jintong's words came into his ears.

"Okay, hahahahaha." Ma Long laughed triumphantly, then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"I have already arranged to move the Feiyan Inn, which is not far from Zuixianlou."

After a while, the crowd left in a mighty procession and headed for the inn.

"Tonight, I will first upgrade the Diamond Finger to Lv10 and see if the Heart of Keeping the Precepts can provide the conditions for advancing to the next quality."

If that's not possible, you can only use your fingers instead of your feet to advance. After all, no one knows what level perfection is. If it's level 100, wouldn't it take a lot of time?
