Zhou Qingfeng turned hostile and didn't give him the slightest chance. That night, he expelled Tan Feng. He stayed in the coal mining village and was responsible for reorganizing the place. He only sent the human-faced demon to keep an eye on Tan Feng from afar to determine his whereabouts.
The reason why he was so ruthless was that Zhou Qingfeng had higher requirements for the loyalty of his subordinates. He couldn't tolerate the existence of people like Tan Feng who tried to establish a mountain on his own. Secondly, he really didn't want to create an opportunity to find a way to place someone by Li Yongfang's side. As for whether this person was willing or not — obviously, it was more likely that he was unwilling.
This kind of personnel placement was completely the next step of Zhou Qingfeng's plan. He already had plans to gradually leave Fushun and go to Lushun to develop. In addition, his strength had skyrocketed. Naturally, he was very unhappy with the first traitor in history. It just so happened that Li Yongfang was also very unhappy with him and wanted to fight it out with him.
Not mentioning Zhou Qingfeng's secret plan or Tan Feng's embarrassing departure, Wang Kai's and Wong Yuanwai's residences in Fushun were brightly lit and very lively. In the private residence's reception hall, a troupe was performing 'Romance of the Western Chamber'. On the stage, Cui Yingying and Zhang Junrui were having a private rendezvous. Several spectators below the stage were clapping their hands and watching with great interest.
The man and woman sang to each other, the lyrics and music were very beautiful.
"Here, I embrace a soft jade and warm fragrance. Ruan Zhao goes to the rooftop. Spring is coming and flowers are in color. Swaying the willow waist, the flower heart is gently folded, the dew peony opens.
But dipped in some sesame, the fish and water are harmonious. Tender and fragrant, butterflies are unrestrained. Half-refusing, surprised and loving, the sandalwood mouth and fragrant cheeks. "
At the climax of the song, Wang Kai, who was below the stage, repeatedly shouted. He turned around and said to Li Yongfang, "Sir, this is a Kunqu opera troupe that recently appeared in Liaoyang. I spent a lot of money to invite them to entertain you. What does Milord think? "
"Good, good, good." Li Yongfang was not young anymore. Listening to the erotic songs on the stage, she laughed so hard that her beard almost curled up. Seeing that he liked it, Wang Kai quickly waved towards the stage. The troupe immediately stopped, and the two leading actors who were singing hurriedly kneeled in front of the reception hall to pay their respects.
The two performers were only sixteen or seventeen years old. Their lips were red and their teeth were white. Their features were delicate and pretty. When they knelt down, their bodies trembled. They looked like willows and flowers. Li Yongfang went forward and lifted 'Cui Yingying's' face. Then, she pinched 'Zhang Junrui's' cheek. Wang Kai smiled and said in a low voice, "If Daren likes it, then it is their fortune. Why don't we let the two of them not take off their costumes and let you train them carefully at night? "
In the end, the two performers knelt down again and begged Li Yongfang to teach them. As soon as they spoke in a normal voice, someone behind them asked in surprise, "Are they both men?"
The person who spoke was bald and only had a golden rat's tail hanging behind his head. Being teased by this person, Li Yongfang felt embarrassed. Instead, Wang Kai turned around and said with a smile, "My Master Ma Chengta, three flat is not as good as one round. Only those who have tried it will know what it feels like. Why don't we ask the Lord Li to part with his treasure and send this' Cui Yingying 'to your room to serve you? "
Ma Chengta had a rough look on his face. He had heard that the Ming scholars liked to play with performers, but he did not know that they played with women. He repeatedly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. If the Khan knew that I played with a man, I'm afraid he would immediately cut off my head."
Li Yongfang was already tempted, but Ma Chengta's words dampened his spirits. He waved his hand to dismiss the two performers. He returned to the reception hall and asked, "Today, I invited you, Ma Chengta, to ask you a question."
Ma Chengta touched his forehead and sat opposite Li Yongfang. He said with a smile, "Is it about Zhou Qingfeng's matter in Onizuka?"
Wang Kai also came over and deliberately lowered his voice to ask, "Master Ma Chengta, don't tease us. You already know the answer but still ask. You should know that after Zhou Qingfeng came back, he subdued the entire Fu Shun. Several cultivators who were beaten up by him before still wanted to renege on their debts, but now they obediently went to deliver the money for fear that they would lose their lives if they were late.
Now, Zhou Qingfeng's prestige has risen and almost suppressed everyone. We don't know what happened in Onizuka. I heard that your Big Gold also suffered a loss there. You should at least ask about it. "
Seeing that Li Yongfang and Wang Kai were staring at him, Ma Chengta sighed. He grabbed the wine pot and poured himself a cup. He also lowered his voice and said, "I won't hide it from you. This matter has caused a storm in Hetuala, and my Khan has issued a gag order.
I don't know much about the inside story. I only know that Onizuka has collapsed and disappeared. The strange valley where Onizuka was located has seen the light of day again, but it was filled with tens of thousands of bones. "
"Onizuka is gone?"
"It's indeed gone. It's said that Bu Zhai, who sacrificed himself to build Onizuka, has been killed and nothing is left. "
"Then how did Zhou Qingfeng come back?"
"I really don't know the inside story. I'm only sure that Chu Ying is dead. Only half of the troops sent by our Big Gold came back this time, and we lost many good men who have been fighting for many years. Fifth Beilei Mangurtai was seriously injured. When he came back, he didn't hate Guo Buyi, who had fought with him, but he cursed at Zhou Qingfeng. As for what exactly happened, I don't know. "
Ma Chengta spread out his hands. Li Yongfang and Wang Kai were very surprised after hearing this. This situation was more shocking than they had expected. If Zhou Qingfeng had gone to Onizuka and escaped back, it could be said that he was lucky. But now, even Mangurtai hated him, which was terrible.
Mangurtai had a fierce reputation and was not easy to get along with.
What Ma Chengta said was what could not be concealed at present, and he didn't dare to say the real truth. After Zhou Qingfeng left Onizuka, Mangurtai also escaped from it. The troops of Jianzhou originally went in aggressively, but when they came out, they were in disorder, and nearly half of them were gone.
Because this time, those who went to Onizuka were the elites of Jianzhou, when Mangurtai came back, 40 or 50 people were gone, and the families of these people naturally wanted to know what happened. But before they knew the situation, Nurhachi had already issued a gag order, forbidding the survivors to say what happened in Onizuka.
But Ma Chengta's status in Hetuala was not low, and he still knew a lot of information by beating around the bush and asking in person. In particular, even Mangurtai was seriously injured and needed to recuperate, which made people even more suspicious.
The ministers and the Beilei in the city all went to visit Mangurtai. Soon, it was said that Mangurtai jumped and scolded Zhou Qingfeng, and even almost beat up Zhou Qingfeng's master, Gu Yuanwei. The Fifth Beilei also said that Gu Yuanwei must be a spy sent by the Ming Kingdom, and Gu Yuanwei was so scared that he ran to Nurhachi and swore that he had no other intentions.
If Mangurtai hated Guo Buyi, the Jin Kingdom could understand. After all, everyone knew how powerful Guo Buyi was. But Mangurtai vented all his anger on Zhou Qingfeng, which was puzzling.
At first, everyone thought that the Fifth Beilei had fallen into Zhou Qingfeng's trap, but after careful questioning, Mangurtai himself said dejectedly, "It's not a trap, I really didn't win. I asked the Ancestor Spirit for help to transform into a devil, but I was seriously injured by his magic weapon. I don't know where that little brat got his ability, but I was beaten so badly by him! "
Ma Chengta didn't see it with his own eyes, but he heard that Zhou Qingfeng punched a fist-sized hole in Mangurtai's chest — a fist as big as a bowl! This was only the Fifth Beilei, and if it were anyone else in the Jin Kingdom, no one would dare to say that they could survive such a blow.
How did he punch such a big hole?
Ma Chengta felt that if there was a fist-sized hole in his chest, his whole body would be torn into pieces. Want to escape from Onizuka and return to Hetuala? Dream on.
Then he thought about how Zhou Qingfeng had to be to beat the usually unreasonable Fifth Beilei to the point of cursing heaven and earth.
Other than the hole in Mangurtai's chest, Ma Chengta had seen the other thing with his own eyes. It was a heavy lead ball, slightly smaller than a fist and weighing a few kilograms. The lead ball was already deformed, and its surface was distorted and damaged. It was said that this was the thing that punched a big hole in the Fifth Beilei's chest. It was hard to believe that such an inconspicuous thing could be so powerful.
Because no one in the Jin Kingdom's upper echelon could recognize what kind of magic weapon this lead ball was, Ma Chengta was personally asked by Nurhachi to examine it because of his extensive experience in foreign business. He even watched as the upper echelon of the Jin Kingdom carefully cut open the lead ball with a knife, trying to study the mystery within. In the end, he could only confirm one thing — this was a solid lead pellet. It was made of soft material and wasn't worth much.
But it was this thing that caused Mangurtai to fail on the verge of success, which was really puzzling. Everyone in the Jin Kingdom could not help but feel deeply frightened. They felt that the Ming cultivators were really good at making magic weapons. Nurhachi attached great importance to this and specially called Gu Yuanwei over to scold him, asking him what this thing was. Which family produced it? Could it be bought? How could it be defended? And so on and so forth.
Gu Yuanwei was suffering in silence, unable to voice his bitterness. He banged his head until it bled. In the end, he could only come up with a magic weapon to fool Nurhachi, and said that he would send someone to the Central Plains to buy this treasure for the Khan as soon as possible.
But Gu Yuanwei knew that the thing that injured Mangurtai might have been obtained by that little rascal Zhou Qingfeng himself from four hundred years in the future. Now that he thought about it, he regretted pressuring the little rascal so much.
Ma Chengta had come to Fushun to gather information, and on the day he arrived, he learned that Zhou Qingfeng had smashed a big hole in the west of the city with one punch. He remembered that he had chatted and laughed with Zhou Qingfeng before, but now he did not dare to go to the scene to see it in person, so he sent someone to watch in secret.
In the end, the servants who went came back trembling with fear and trembling all over. In order to explain the big hole to Ma Chengta, the servants had exhausted all the adjectives they knew. In the end, they could only say that Zhou Qingfeng's punch was so powerful that even the city walls were about to be destroyed.
When Zhou Qingfeng's title as the world's number one began to spread in the city of Fushun, Ma Chengta was scared out of his wits. In the past, if someone said that Zhou Qingfeng was the world's number one, it would naturally be absurd. But now that even Mangurtai had been defeated and the upper echelons of Jin were collectively enraged, it was most likely true.
When he received the invitation to the banquet, Ma Chengta hurriedly went to find Wang Kai and Li Yongfang, wanting to know how powerful Zhou Qingfeng was.
Now that Wang Kai heard that Zhou Qingfeng had beaten Mangurtai to the ground, he was even more surprised. His round face was full of disbelief, and his eyes were wide open as he repeatedly asked Ma Chengta questions. Ma Chengta's words were full of mystery, but he had already subconsciously admitted that Zhou Qingfeng was very powerful. At least he was an opponent who could compete with Mangurtai, so his words were full of praise for Zhou Qingfeng.
"Ah … Could it be that this fellow is really the world's number one?" Wang Kai was shocked by himself. He thought to himself, I was just casually spreading rumors. Could it be that my nonsense was right?
Li Yongfang and Ma Chengta came to ask Wang Kai again. Wang Kai naturally could not embarrass himself, so he simply told them the rumors in the market as a third party. "Sir, I don't know who was the one who spread the rumors, saying that Zhou Qingfeng's spells are godly, that his punches are shocking, and that his cultivation has already broken through the ninth level to become the world's number one."
"Nonsense, that's impossible." Li Yongfang would never admit it. "If Zhou Qingfeng is the world's number one, then what am I? I have the authority of an official, and the Mandate of Heaven recognizes me. The three hundred thousand people around Fushun have to listen to my orders. I'm not even afraid of Guo Buyi, how could a mere Zhou Qingfeng be stronger than me? That's impossible! "
