The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 113 "Thousands of Deaths"

Here, Yongjie was fighting a life-and-death battle with three factions, and the others were not idle either.

The three lone top-notch masters looked at each other and then walked together tacitly.

The Cao Clan was special. They rarely spoke after entering the Miao King's Tomb. Because they were the weakest among the sects present. They wanted to come over and form an alliance with the Beggar Clan, but they were hesitant for a while.

They were not in the same circle as the others. Strictly speaking, they were in the "Green Forest Way", with shallow martial arts, which was very different from the big sects with a long tradition.

Lao Qifeng sighed, turned around and walked to Li Miao, who was watching the show with his arms folded.

"Master Li, what are you planning?"

Li Miao smiled and said, "What did you get from that, Boss Lao?"

Lao Qifeng lowered his voice and said, "I mean, is Mr. Li from the Ming Cult or the imperial court?"

"Oh?" Li Miao glanced at Lao Qifeng and said nothing.

Lao Qifeng knew that if he didn't make his point clear, Li Miao would never be frank, so he spoke on his own.

"Master Li, you know that my Beggars' Sect has disciples all over the world, which is different from the Emei, Qingcheng, Kongtong and other sects that focus on one place."

"They don't know about what happened in Tai'an City, but I received some news."

"Gu, Gu soldiers, Miaojiang." Lao Qifeng looked into Li Miao's eyes.

"Master Li's martial arts skills are impossible to be unknown, yet he is still unknown in the martial arts world. And he knows so much about poisonous insects, and he appears here inexplicably."

"Either he is a member of the Ming Cult or a spy of the imperial court."

Li Miao looked up at Lao Qifeng and chuckled, "How is the imperial court? How is the Ming Cult?"

Lao Qifeng did not answer for a moment.

He thought for a moment, prepared himself for action, and spoke seriously.

"If it is the imperial court, Lao will just pretend he doesn't know."

"If it is the Ming Cult... they will have to fight to the death with Hero Li."

Li Miao said: "Oh?"

"Boss Lao has a grudge against the Ming Cult?"

"No grudges or grudges."

"Then why do you want to fight me for life and death?"

"The moral code of the martial world."

"Heh." Li Miao chuckled: "Master Lao has become the leader of the Beggars' Sect, and you still believe this?"

"The Beggars' Sect's business isn't that clean, is it?"

Among the beggars in this world, there is only one kind of clean ones, and they are the beggars who really can't survive and beg for a meal or a bowl of water.

How clean can a beggar gang be that can make begging a profession, organize beggars, and turn begging into a business? There is no need to think about the filthiness of it.

"Yes, I don't deny it." Lao Qifeng said.

"If it were in the past, I would not have any hostility towards the Ming Cult. If they are too powerful, I can surrender. The leader of the Beggars' Sect is also a beggar, there is nothing he cannot bend to."

"If I run into it somewhere else, I can just ignore it."

"But I will not allow a Mingjiao villain to achieve his plan in Miaojiang."

"If the Tai'an incident happens again, Lao cannot afford the loss of life."

Lao Qifeng stared at Li Miao.

"Anyone who massacres a city and kills civilians can be punished."

This is the most basic and simple logic of the people in Dashuo's world.

"What belongs to the rivers and lakes ..., and what belongs to the people belongs to the people."

The so-called Jianghu morality, in the Jianghu people, often becomes unattended due to various interests, love and hatred. What kind of evil thief is like the Seven Ghosts of Meishan? No one will deliberately care about it unless they provoke someone they can't afford to offend.

But when it comes to ordinary people, especially the Ming Cult's atrocities of massacring a city, it will trigger the underlying rule of the underworld - "If innocent people are involved, anyone can kill them."

Li Miao laughed: "I said, among these people, I can talk to Boss Lao the best."

"Don't worry, I'm a Jinyiwei."

When Yin Minjun saw Li Miao reveal his identity, she hurriedly stepped forward and said to Lao Qifeng: "Boss Lao, the leader of our family was saved by you. Tens of thousands of people in Tai'an City were able to survive because of you." "Ah." Lao Qifeng responded, but his face changed for a moment.

"But... in front of the Thousand Dead Households?"

This time it was Li Miao's turn to change color.

"Say that again? What the hell!?"

"Death...death of a thousand households?"

"Which one died? Which one passed away?"

It was not until Lao Qifeng used his true energy to carve the two words on the stone wall of the cave with his fingers that Li Miao laughed weakly.

"What a crappy nickname, why not just call him Deadpool Qianhu..."

It's easy to guess that this is his nickname "Four Seasons Thousand Households". I don't know how it got spread out, and this bunch of uneducated people in the martial arts world changed it up and came up with such a rustic nickname.

Sure enough, after knowing Li Miao's identity, Lao Qifeng spoke cautiously.

"Rumor has it that the Ming Cult's two right and left emissaries, a Dharma protector, two flag masters, and hundreds of disciples all died in the hands of a Jinyiwei captain overnight..."

"I heard that this captain has been guarding the capital and never goes out. If he leaves the capital this time, anyone who sees him will be killed. He will be known as the 'Dead Captain' in the Jinyiwei..."

"I didn't expect it to be you, sir. When I saw you today, it turned out to be true—"

"Boss Lao, please stop for a moment. I have a headache."

Li Miao waved his hand to stop Lao Qifeng from flattering him.

He seemed to have lost all his strength and means, and his usual expression of not caring about anything now collapsed.

What is this?

Too unsophisticated.

If I had known this earlier, I would have pulled out all those people in the Imperial Guard who spread his nickname and beat them up, forcing them to come up with a better nickname before they could go out into the world again.

To be honest, Li Miao practiced martial arts to this level before starting to travel the world. He must have expected to be known by that nickname in the world.

He even envisioned several scenarios.

Qingfeng Sword? Average.

White Cloud Sword? Not bad.

The best in the world? Not bad.

Universal Martial Arts? Pretty good.

What if you call it "Mang Jin Gang"?

When he thought about how in the future when people from the martial arts world see him, they would say "But 'whoever sees me must be killed', 'Thousands of households will die' in front of me?", he felt like leaving the Miaojiang affairs behind and going back to Shuntian Prefecture to work.

"Sigh——" For the first time, Li Miao let out a long sigh of helplessness.

"Forget it, let's get down to business."

Li Miao glanced at Yongjie's side, which had already become a mess.

Seeing that Lao Qifeng ignored them and kept talking to Li Miao, the Cao Gang thought that the Beggar Gang was in league with Yongjie. After thinking about it, they actually began to help Yongjie.

The three lone masters, however, did not help either side and just fought randomly inside. Li Miao took a closer look and found that although the three of them seemed to be attacking fiercely, they only used 50% to 60% of their strength. It was obvious that they were planning to conserve their true energy and reap the benefits.

Li Miao said as he watched the fight over there.

"I came here this time to cut off the inheritance of Miaojiang's witchcraft."

"What Boss Lao just said is so righteous, I don't think he will stand idly by."

"Yes, this time it was the Miao people who took the initiative to plot against us. Coupled with the incident in Tai'an City, it is natural for my Beggars' Sect to lend a hand. But..." Lao Qifeng hesitated.

Li Miao waved his hand: "I know what you want to say."

"The imperial court has been suppressing the Miao region for so many years, but has not been able to completely eradicate witchcraft."

"But this matter is actually difficult for the imperial court to do."

“So, this matter still has to fall on the people of Jianghu.”
