The bandits made way for the carriages to leave.
No one dared to stop them!
This time, their First Master, who could be considered a reputable figure in Xuyang County, had lost a lot of face! The Great Leader had given strict orders not to spread what had happened today.
However …
There were five thousand bandits around today, and all of them were addicted to alcohol. How could they not spread the news?
…
Good news was hard to spread, but bad news spread far and wide!
The top gang of Fanwu City in Xuyang County, the Wushan Gang, had five thousand bandits. Instead of robbing them, they were robbed of treasures worth millions of taels of silver. This news spread like the wind to all the major forces in Xuyang County!
The Wushan Gang could send out five thousand bandits for a single robbery. One could imagine how strong they were.
In terms of real strength, they were even stronger than the White Horse Gang in Teng Qingshan's hometown, Yi City. However, they had suffered a huge loss this time!
Many of those treasures were priced at a low price. Their true value was around seven to eight hundred thousand taels of silver. However, the more rumors spread, the more exaggerated they became!
*****
Xuyang County was in chaos!
The Wushan Gang could establish themselves and have such a huge force. It was not that the Wushan Gang was weak, but that Teng Qingshan was too ruthless. Even an army of thousands of men and horses couldn't stop Teng Qingshan. It was as easy as taking something out of his pocket to capture the leader!
Because of the Wushan Gang's failure!
Coupled with the reputation of the Black Armoured Corps, the major gangs and sects in Xuyang County did not dare to rob them.
…
The carriages moved slowly on the official road. Seventy to eighty cavalry guards and twenty Black Armoured Corps soldiers guarded the goods as they moved forward. Along the way, no bandits dared to rob them.
"Sir Commandant, I heard that Xuyang County is in chaos! Sir Commandant showed his might last time, and we have not encountered a single robbery in the past two days, "Du Hong said with a smile.
"Haha, if they come again, Qingshan will extort another sum of money," Teng Qinghu laughed.
Ever since Teng Qingshan had made his move last time and displayed his astonishing strength, Teng Qingshan's status in the team had become even higher.
At that time, Teng Qingshan had obtained a total of 130,000 taels of gold and silver notes! Although the Bright Jade Buddha, the bow, the saber, and the vest made of golden silk were more precious, they could not be exchanged for silver for the time being.
The sergeants of the Black Armoured Corps were very envious, but they had never thought of getting a share of the silver.
After all …
This was obtained by Teng Qingshan with his own strength. In the Black Armoured Corps, if a Black Armoured Corps unit wiped out a group of bandits, even if the officer did not contribute, the officer would still get the majority of the gold and silver. Moreover, in this battle, not a single one of the Black Armoured Corps soldiers had contributed.
However, Teng Qingshan still got some money.
Two centurions, ten thousand taels of silver each.
The twenty soldiers, including the corporal, were paid a thousand taels of silver each.
This sum of money was more than everyone's monthly salary for a year. With their wallets bulging, the Black Armoured Corps soldiers naturally supported Teng Qingshan even more. As for the seventy to eighty guards of the convoy who were envious, Teng Qingshan could not be bothered to share a single tael of silver.
This was the benefit of being in the Black Armoured Corps!
"To increase the sense of superiority of the Black Armoured Corps! This way, they will have a stronger sense of belonging. " Teng Qingshan understood this very well. He glanced at the horse carriage. At this moment, Zhu Chongshi was already staying in the carriage, accompanying his three children. Thinking of his children, Teng Qingshan could not help but feel his heart ache.
He still remembered that memory from his past life.
"Wolf, when we leave the organization, we must have a pair of children, a boy and a girl."
"Mm, alright."
"When the time comes, we will let them learn how to draw, learn how to play the piano … and live a normal life! We will not let them learn how to kill. This kind of life … I am really tired of it. "
"Mm, soon, we will leave the organization. We will, Kitten!"
…
"Kitten!" Teng Qingshan still remembered his wife from his past life. She looked like a cold machine, but she was very gentle when they were together. She was the only woman he had ever truly loved. According to his original plan, he would be able to leave the organization when he broke through to SS-rank.
He would have children with Kitten.
Unfortunately, Kitten was dead. When Kitten died, he took revenge on the Red Organization in a frenzy. Only then did he comprehend the 'Mournful Blade'. He then devoted himself to martial arts and finally stepped into the realm of Grandmaster. Unfortunately, it was all too late.
"Kitten …" Teng Qingshan mumbled.
He shook his head and tried hard to hide this love from his past life in the deepest part of his heart. Teng Qingshan deliberately made himself forget everything. After all, this was his new life. Only occasionally, he would be touched and think about it.
"In this life, I have parents, a sister, and clansmen. I am already very satisfied." Teng Qingshan's state of mind quickly calmed down. "Let's pursue the pinnacle of martial arts! The legendary Emperor Yu could split a tall mountain with five strikes of his axe. The Heavenly Emperor of Qin Mountains could stop the flow of a hundred Zhang wide river with one palm. I am still too far away from them. The path of martial arts is long and bumpy. It is worth my life to explore it! "
Teng Qingshan's heart was as firm as a rock!
…
The wheels of the carriage rolled with creaking sounds. In the spacious carriage, there was only Zhu Chongshi and his two wives. As for the children, they were in the carriage behind with the servants.
"Master!" A beautiful woman dressed in green said uneasily. "We have been in Xuyang County for four days. I estimate that we will be able to leave in two or three days. Once we reach Chu County, we will be safe. But … … Master's brothers, will they not do anything? "
"Big Sister is right. I am also a little afraid." The other beautiful woman dressed in purple said.
Zhu Chongshi leaned against them and ate fruits. He laughed and said, "Haha, you two women, don't worry. We just returned from overseas. We directly entered Jiangning County City from the East Sea. We only stayed for a few days? Then we immediately rushed to Chu County! My brothers are the same as me, developing on their own. It takes a long time to gather information … … I am afraid that even now, only two or three of my brothers know that I have returned! "
Jiangning County City was a city by the sea.
This was also the reason why Zhu Chongshi stayed in Jiangning County City.
"Master, what will happen if they know?" The beautiful woman dressed in green asked anxiously.
"Didn't you already guess?" Zhu Chongshi said, "They won't dare to kill me and the children. After all, we are descendants of the Zhu Clan! What my father hates the most is fratricide between his own children. Once they do that, with my father's information network, he will definitely know everything. At that time, my father will not let the person who killed his brothers become the Patriarch! He will even be deprived of his family property and chased out of the Zhu Clan! "
The two women heaved a sigh of relief.
Indeed, their father-in-law, who was known as the 'God of Wealth', was a great deterrent.
"They won't dare to kill me and the children, but they will still dare to destroy or rob my goods." Zhu Chongshi frowned. "If the goods are robbed, I will only have a 20% chance of becoming the Patriarch when the ten years are up."
His two wives also understood the importance of the goods.
Their husbands had been overseas for several years just for the sake of these goods.
"With these goods, I will have at least a 90% chance of becoming the Patriarch when the ten years are up!" Zhu Chongshi smiled confidently.
*****
Of the thirteen counties in Yangzhou, the south was the wealthiest while the north was the poorest. However, even the poorest 'Chu County' was considered one of the wealthiest counties in the entire Nine Prefectures.
On the official road in the north, there were few people and it was rare to find an inn.
On the official road, there were very few inns in the wilderness. This was because an inn would be easily robbed by bandits if it was all alone. Anyone who could open an inn in the wilderness must have a strong background and strength!
San Shi Inn!
This was an inn on the official road in the north of Xuyang County. There was no other inn within 60 Li to the south or north of it.
In a room in the backyard of the San Shi Inn.
"Elder Meng!" A man wearing a yellow short-sleeved shirt walked into the room and said, "Ninth Master Zhu's men are only 50 Li away from us! However, it's already afternoon now. I don't think they will be able to reach our inn by nightfall. Perhaps they will spend the night in the wilderness. When that time comes, won't Old Master's plan come true? "
In the room, there was a middle-aged man with extremely thick eyebrows. He was wiping a long and narrow saber that was slightly curved. The saber itself was blood red in color.
"Hmph, what are you worried about?" The middle-aged man snorted. "The San Shi Inn is definitely on the map. Ninth Young Master is just staying overseas for a few years. However, he is still a young master of a wealthy family. Even if he has to travel a few Li before nightfall, it's normal for him to reach us. Even if Ninth Young Master doesn't come, we can still rush over and take action! "
The short-sleeved man flattered him and said with a smile, "With Old Meng taking action, we'll definitely succeed. But Senior Meng, it is widely rumored in Xuyang County that the Commandant of the Black Armoured Corps that Ninth Master Zhu invited is a powerful expert! "
"Alright, you can leave now." The middle-aged man coldly said. From the beginning to the end, the middle-aged man had been staring at the long blade in his hand. He did not even look at the short-sleeved man.
"Yes, yes." The short-sleeved man hastily retreated.
The short-sleeved man did not feel the slightest bit of anger towards the other party's attitude. This was because Elder Meng was the strongest powerhouse under his master, the Zhu Clan's Thirteenth Young Master.
Although he looked like a middle-aged man, he was actually over eighty years old.
It was only because his inner strength was dense and he was good at maintaining his health that he was able to maintain his current appearance.
"With Old Meng's help, the goods will definitely be taken away. If those people arrived at the inn. Hmph, Senior Meng doesn't even need to do anything. "The short-sleeved man walked out of the house confidently. They had just bought this San Shi Inn two days ago, and had purposely waited here for Zhu Chongshi and the others.
Old Meng's real name was Meng Tian.
If one were to flip through the recent 《Earth Ranking》, one would know that Meng Tian was an expert ranked 61st in the 《Earth Ranking》!
Do not look down on him just because he was ranked 61st.
One must know that even the Four Great Commanders of the Black Armoured Corps were not qualified to be listed in the 《Earth Ranking》. There were too many experts at the peak of the Postliminary Realm in this world. Which of those who could be listed in the 《Earth Ranking》 did not have a terrifying ultimate move? Even those experts who had just entered the Innate Realm had to be vigilant against those who were listed in the 《Earth Ranking》.
Although their inner strength was far inferior to that of the Innate Realm, the experts of the Earth Ranking all had their trump cards.
To be able to make an expert of the 《Earth Ranking》 work for him, the Zhu Clan's Thirteenth Young Master indeed had some tricks up his sleeve.
