After returning to the old residence, Fang Niannian's cheeks were puffed up. She cast a sidelong glance at Zhu Minglang with her crescent-shaped eyes. Her resentment was about to spread out from her body.
"You spent eighty gold on this meat? Do you really think money grows on trees? I can buy you a ranch in Ancestor Dragon City with eighty gold!" Fang Niannian scolded without any trace of politeness.
"There's nothing I can do about it. Firewood, rice, oil, and salt are all very expensive here. Meat is even rarer than gold and silver. And that's because the old man gave me a discount because I'm the new city lord," Zhu Minglang said helplessly.
"Big Blacktooth's rations are gone. This cart of meat isn't even enough for him to eat." Fang Niannian was in charge of the accounts. So, what she couldn't accept the most was spending too much money on things that weren't of equal value!
Zhu Minglang's behavior was what she couldn't accept the most!
It wasn't like she hadn't lived a poor life before. Even if she was rich now, she was determined not to spend money recklessly!
"He bought this meat for us," Zhu Minglang said.
"What about Big Blacktooth? He's going to starve. Ever since he reached the master tier, his appetite has increased by three times. Normal black pork can't provide him with any energy. It's no different from drinking water," Fang Niannian said.
Zhu Minglang rubbed his chin. He couldn't help but look at Hao Ye, who was immersed in practicing his swordsmanship not far away.
Hao Ye seemed to have been stimulated by something today. He didn't say a single word, and his expression was absent-minded. He was like a sword training machine, constantly chopping at the weeds, and the plants in the courtyard were very tidy.
"Hao Ye," Zhu Minglang called out.
"Junior Martial Uncle, you actually remember my name!" Hao Ye turned around. His face blossomed with a smile that was like a blossoming summer flower. He felt as if his soul that had been scattered into the nine heavens had returned to his body.
Zhu Minglang was completely confused.
He gave Fang Niannian a look. Fang Niannian also had an "I don't know" expression.
Strange, Wu Feng didn't tell him that Hao Ye was sick.
"Hao Ye, you've practiced well today. However, plants are still plants that don't move. Next, you'll need to use some wild beasts to adjust your exquisite swordsmanship. For the next few days, go and kill some Yao beasts and Devil Spirits. It's best if you choose those with excellent meat quality and delicious taste. Remember to bring back the meat essence. The more, the better," Zhu Minglang said to Hao Ye.
"Understood, Junior Martial Uncle!" Hao Ye's eyes, which were as still as a pool of stagnant water, began to shine.
Practice, double the practice, madly practice according to little martial uncle's instructions. He had to make everyone remember him, Sword Master Hao Ye. In the future, his name would definitely shake the world!
"I'll go with him. I'll choose. I know what Big Black-teeth likes. Let's take a look around and see if there are any other resources. "Fang Niannian said.
"Hao Ye, I'll add another weight training for you. Take Nian Nian with you and slash according to her instructions. When you slash, you must accurately slice off the flesh!" Zhu Minglang said to Hao Ye.
"No problem, Junior Uncle!" Hao Ye nodded.

When night fell, the Hu Family brother and sister had already found their target and began to sweep through the city.
The Copper Blade Army was also sent to the city gates by Li Yunzi. They acted as if the city already had a master.
Zhu Minglang felt that as the city master, he couldn't just sit in the courtyard and eat barbecue. Thus, he specially ordered the Hu Family's military advisor to help him keep an eye on the warlords he had taken a liking to during the day. He would personally go meet them.
"Da da da da!!!!!!"
Suddenly, the sound of iron hooves came from the main street, causing the surrounding old buildings to shake.
Zhu Minglang jumped onto the roof and looked over. He was shocked to find that his small house was surrounded by a large group of soldiers. Among them was a group of people riding tall and majestic Dragon Horses. These Dragon Horses were three times the size of normal horses. They had horse faces and dragon horns, and were extremely fierce!
What was going on!
Weren't they supposed to sweep through the armed forces of Runyu City tonight?
Why was there an army surrounding this place??
"Flatten this place for me. If you see anyone alive, kill them all!" The tall and sturdy man riding the Dragon Horse shouted. His entire body was emitting a murderous aura!
"Everyone, which group of heroes are you?" Zhu Minglang stood on the roof and asked.
"You don't even recognize our Dragon Horse Camp, yet you still want to mingle in Runyu City. Tell your master that this city doesn't need anyone to manage it. This city is under the control of our Dragon Horse Battalion. If you dare to issue a kill order to us, I think you are the ones who are tired of living! "The leader of the Dragon Horse Battalion said with a sneer.
"So you're saying that you're here to kill me, the city master? I have a contract with the imperial court. If you attack me, you'll be committing the crime of rebelling against the imperial court." Zhu Minglang took out his contract and used his finger to tap the imperial seal on it.
"Imperial court? Does the imperial court have anything to do with this place? Let me tell you, no matter how many officials come to Runyu City, I'll kill them all. Kill them all! Don't leave a single one alive! "The Dragon Horse Camp leader waved his hand.
Suddenly, a large group of soldiers surged from the street like a tide. They were wearing leather armor and military boots. Although they were not wearing helmets, each of them had a cloth cloth with the Dragon Horse symbol on their foreheads!
At a glance, there were at least two thousand people. They almost filled up the streets and alleys near the house. They were so crowded that not even a drop of water could trickle through!
They held different weapons in their hands. There were sabers, spears, axes, and all kinds of weapons. As for the people riding the Dragon Horses, they were all equipped with bows and arrows.
Following the leader's order, the archers riding the Dragon Horses had already pulled their bowstrings. Their arrows were very special. They actually burned without coming into contact with anything!
The entire arrow was wrapped in flames. As the bowstrings were fully pulled, it formed a powerful aura that swept through the area like a heatwave!
"Yunzi, Lingsha, be careful of the fire arrows!"
Zhu Minglang hastily shouted when he saw the situation.
As soon as he finished speaking, the arrows whistled through the air, and the burning arrows flew into the air, instantly lighting up the nearby streets!
"Xiu xiu xiu xiu xiu!"
The archers were extremely fast. After releasing a fire arrow, they immediately shot another fire arrow towards the house. The fire arrow formed a curtain of fire that was blazing fiercely as it fell towards the small shabby house.
In the courtyard, Li Yunzi stood silently. She raised her head. Her beautiful eyes were as resplendent as agate when they were reflected by the dense fire arrows in the sky.
She didn't move half a step. She only stared at the sky.
Suddenly, the rain of fire arrows that filled the sky seemed to have touched an invisible wall. The speed of their descent slowed down …
More and more arrows appeared. It was as if they were being caught by some kind of power, and all of them stopped in their tracks above the courtyard!
The simple roof was covered with black and green tiles. Even normal arrows could easily pierce through them, let alone these arrows that contained the power of fire.
However, the arrows hovered above the roof tiles, like a large expanse of gorgeous lanterns, and did not descend any further.
Zhu Minglang stood under the roof and looked at the beauty in the courtyard with astonishment.
It stopped!
Staring at the curtain of arrows, he actually caused the curtain of arrows to stop completely!
Wasn't Li Yunzi a Swordsman?
