An hour later, Liu Mang and the other two hurriedly walked out of Zhao Yuanwai's house and thanked Yuan Wai with clasped fists.
"Thank you for the hospitality. If you come to Jiangcheng in the future, I will definitely give you a feast!"
Then the four of them left in embarrassment as if they were running away.
"Wori, it's so damn scary..." Lin Hanlin wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when he thought of the scene just now.
"The dowry is quite generous, including thousands of fertile fields, ten thousand taels of gold, and countless treasures and antiques." Ban Yang said with some envy.
"How about I recommend you to Yuan Zhao?" Liu Mang looked at him expressionlessly.
Ban Yang sneered and said: "Brother Mang is joking, how can anyone look at me?"
"Today's matter must be kept secret. If I hear it from others in the gang, I know your fist but not your fist." Liu Mang threatened.
"That's nature, that's nature." Several other people responded one after another.
A few people returned to the boat to rest, and then went to Jingcheng to wander around the next day.
However, they were destined not to be able to go shopping this time.
After a while, someone came to invite Liu Mang.
Either they invite him to have wine at home, they invite him to have wine in a restaurant, and some even invite him to have wine in the Red Mansion.
However, they were all declined by Liu Mang.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Whatever you get now, you will probably have to pay more in the future.
The Zhu family even invited him to come over for a talk. As the Zhu family's cheap offering, Liu Mang couldn't refuse.
At the banquet, He Chongfeng said in a roundabout way that the Zhu family was willing to pass on the legacy of the family to Liu Mang, and there was no need to wait another ten years.
Although he didn't explicitly put forward any conditions, Liu Mang understood everything instantly after seeing the evasive look in Liu Mang's eyes when the former third daughter of the Zhu family, now the new head of the Zhu family, did not dare to look at her.
He had no choice but to smile and refuse.
He had killed Miss Zhu's brother, but he didn't have the shame to marry another family, and there was no relationship between them. Of course, the more important reason was that the Zhu family's family was so bad.
Once an internal skill is learned, it cannot be transferred to other skills. This is why Liu Mang is so cautious.
His goal has never changed, which is to go to the Four Sacred Mountains to find Mr. Yin and learn the best internal skills in the world!
If your internal strength is worse than others, you will be congenitally shorter and will always be at a disadvantage when fighting against people of the same level.
And even if he can't become a disciple of the Four Sacred Mountains, he still has the Tianji Order as a way out!
However, there is no way to continue shopping in Jingcheng, so we can only go back in advance.
Due to the killing of Grandma Huanxi, the disciples of the sect who attacked him, and many people from the Zhu family, the energy in the attribute bar has increased by more than 300 compared to when it came.
This is much faster than killing chickens in the outer city.
Moreover, Liu Mang also discovered that killing people is only related to the number, and has nothing to do with the amount of energy they can give. If one day, there are too many people to kill, you can kill the stronger people first.
"When I go back, I can wait for at most two weeks before I can improve my external skills." Liu Mang thought.
…
At nine o'clock on the third day, the A-shaped boat slowly set off, leaving Jingcheng Pier and embarking on its return journey.
When they came, everyone was worried and afraid of meeting the black horse bandits, but when they returned, they felt very excited.
Every time you take a heavy escort, the reward is very generous.
According to Liu Mang's understanding, during this trip to Jingcheng, the average gang member said that he could get ten taels of silver, which is close to the income of a year in the gang.
Small bosses like Ban Yang and Qi Quan will only be higher.
There were no precious cargoes on the ship, and there was no need to worry about anyone coming to hijack the escort. Everyone just felt relaxed. Along the way, they ate wine, boasted, chatted and spanked, and Liu Mang let it go.
It was less than a hundred miles from Jingcheng, through Wucheng, Yuncheng, and then to Jiangcheng. Because they were traveling against the current, it took them nearly five days.
Thinking of arriving in Jiangcheng tonight, everyone on the boat was excited and started gossiping.
"Master Niu is taking a fifth concubine, do you know?" Liu Zi said mysteriously.
"Isn't this strange? Master Niu's promotion to the hall master is a big deal. It's normal to have a concubine to celebrate." Another person said indifferently.
"You don't understand. I heard that this concubine is from the inner city."
"Inner city, what happened to the inner city? There are poor people in the inner city too!"
Okay, we can't talk today.
Liuzi had no choice but to turn around and chat with another person next to him who looked more honest.
"Dawei, are you going to propose marriage this time when you go back?"
"When the silver reward comes out this time, the betrothal gift should be enough." Dawei said with a smile.
"Hey, it's not easy for us men. We have to work hard to raise money to marry a wife." Liu Zi's lean face showed a look of compassion.
"What do you know? Dawei married the daughter of Butcher Zhan, and her dowry is quite generous. Not to mention the dowry box, bed, cabinets, etc., there are ten old sows alone!"
It's the same man who spoke in a more aggressive tone just now.
"hiss!"
The sound of gasping for cold air kept resounding. Now that the price of meat is so expensive, ten old sows are definitely a big fortune for ordinary people.
Everyone looked at Dawei with envy. This guy was a fool and had a lot of luck. He could get ten old sows in one go.
Dawei also kept smiling silly.
Liuzi was annoyed by the two and stopped talking.
The ship soon arrived at the canyon between Jiangcheng and Yuncheng, and everyone couldn't help but be more vigilant. After all, this place could easily be ambushed.
Liu Mang stood on the bow of the boat and carefully observed the high slopes on both sides of the canyon. He mobilized his mind and senses, and suddenly the goshawk in his mind chirped.
His heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but check carefully again, but still found nothing.
It wasn't until the ship had completely passed the canyon that he finally felt relieved.
Jiangcheng is still dozens of miles ahead!
Thinking of being able to go home soon, Liu Mang felt a little excited and eager to return.
However, no one on the boat, including Liu Mang, noticed that at this moment, two figures suddenly appeared on the high slope of the canyon, looking at Jiangcheng opposite from a distance.
The man was over six feet tall, wearing a black robe, and his entire head was hidden in the shadow of the robe, making it difficult for people to see his appearance clearly.
The man was over seven feet tall, with a dark face and an extremely strong build. He was wearing a red cassock and had a large string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck.
He also wears a gold hoop on his head, which seems to be the same style as that worn by Chi Feipeng, the leader of the dark horse bandits.
"This Jiangcheng is rich in medicinal materials. If the mountain master wants to do something, the most important thing to take is it." The man in black robe said.
"Hmph, Chi Feipeng is as stupid as a pig! He listened to Huang Tiandao's gang of birdmen and went to fight against Liangcheng. He fought at the critical moment and lost the fight, even losing his life!
It doesn't matter that he is dead, the reputation of our Eighteenth Route Bandit in Taiyun Mountain has been ruined by him! As a result, the mountain owner was even mocked by the guy from the ghost town who wrote a letter! The mountain owner was very angry, and the consequences will be serious!" Black face
Toutuo said angrily.
The man in black robe said: "But Lu Gaoyang is really powerful. I have seen him from a distance once before, but I am not sure."
"It's just relying on the Chixia Sword." Toutuo said disdainfully, "Without the Chixia Sword, he is no match for me!"
"There happens to be a famous weapon in this river city that can rival the Chixia Sword." The man in black robe said with a smile.
