Zhao Zheng was also hit by the punch, but the damage suffered was much smaller than that of Zhou Chen. After a slight adjustment of his internal strength, he suppressed the pain. He looked down on Zhou Chen and said lightly: "This time I won with my internal strength. You are inevitably a bit weak in victory. I can give you another chance. This time I will no longer use my internal strength to suppress you, but I will use my moves to determine the outcome."
After Zhou Chen heard this, his expression changed several times and became even more ugly. At first, he thought that Zhao Zheng relied on the sword in his hand to win, but after the recorded fist fight just now, he understood that Zhao Zheng relied on absolute strength to win. The strength!
He is obviously inferior to Zhao Zheng. Even if the comparison continues, he will only lose again. No one likes to taste the feeling of losing.
"The winner has been decided. My skills are inferior to others and I am resigned to being the inferior. There is no need to compete any further. I don't want to lose again and humiliate myself." Zhou Chen said with a sullen face.
"Just be convinced." Zhao Zheng's eyes changed from sharp to gentle, and he was no longer as domineering as before.
"Haha, I'm convinced. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Hongchen Inn is far beyond my imagination. These five hundred taels of silver can be regarded as a gift to shopkeeper Shen. I will go back to the room and promise never to disturb Shen again. It’s time for the shopkeeper to take his leave.” Zhou Chen said with a wry smile, clenched his fists, turned around and went back to his room.
Zhao Zheng won a great victory, taught the annoying people a lesson, and felt very happy. He picked up the oil lamp on the guardrail, walked to the door of his sister's boudoir, tapped a few times with a secret code, and conveyed a message to Shen Luoxia. He had already won. There was no response from the room, maybe Shen Luoxia had fallen asleep.
He did not stay, and returned to his room with an oil lamp. Because of his victory, he was filled with pride and excitement. He took out a pot of bamboo leaf green from the bedside table, opened the lid and drank a few sips, and his stomach immediately felt hot.
The third-level heavenly warriors are very powerful, and it is really a joyful thing to be able to defeat the third-level heavenly warriors.
After tonight's battle, he has a more intuitive understanding of his own strength and is more confident.
It seems that the Nine Meridians and Six Yuan Meridians are really powerful. It has greatly improved his strength in a short period of time, which is like trying to reverse the situation. His current internal strength is much stronger than that of ordinary third-level heaven warriors. In addition, the use of Maha Sword Techniques It's also quite easy, and some of the self-created sword moves are surprisingly powerful.
He felt that he finally looked like a warrior now. Although he was not as good as the previous ones, he was more than enough to defeat most people in the world.
Tonight is really a night worthy of making people happy.
Zhao Zheng fell asleep with a smile on his face, and there was also a faint hint of drunkenness on his face.
…
Early the next morning, Zhou Chen settled the expenses for these days in front of the counter. The bill also included the five hundred taels of silver required for the wedding ceremony. This amount was listed among the payments, which was particularly conspicuous. .
He didn't even eat breakfast, so he left the Hongchen Inn in despair and spent half a day riding back to Qibao County.
The battle last night was really humiliating for him. Losing to a yellow-haired kid was barely bearable. After all, there are many martial arts geniuses in the world, but the few words Zhao Zheng said last night were too unpleasant. It was like steel needles piercing into his heart, making him feel uncomfortable.
He has secretly hated Zhao Zheng and regards him as an enemy. Although he is not capable of dealing with Zhao Zheng now, he will pay more attention and look for opportunities in the future. Once he finds an opportunity to harm Zhao Zheng, he will never do it. Let it go.
Ginger is still hotter than old. Zhao Zheng was the only one who said this right last night.
Along the way, Zhou Chen had a straight face and remained silent.
After returning to Qibao County, he stayed at home for a day, washed himself off, and had sex with several women at home to vent his frustration. During the intercourse, he also deliberately moved his crotch The woman imagined herself as Shen Luoxia and criticized her fiercely.
Another day passed before he dressed up and came to Zhang Yuanwai's home. He also sent a letter to Luo Ming and gathered the three of them together to discuss matters together.
Not long after the guests and hosts were seated, Zhang Yuanwai couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Zhou Xian, have you gained anything from this trip?"
"Don't mention it, it makes me angry just talking about it. Not only did I get nothing from this trip, but I was also punished by that Zhao Zheng. It's really unlucky." Zhou Chen waved his hand and frowned into knots.
"Zhao Zheng?" Zhang Yuanwai was startled for a moment, then he remembered who this person was and patted the table, "Oh, you mean Shen Luoxia's brother, right?"
"Yes, that's him. He has already reached the third level of heaven at a young age, and his strength is even stronger than mine." Zhou Chen was unwilling to talk about such embarrassing things, but the matter was of great importance and could not be concealed.
"You started fighting with him? Could it be that...he saw through you?" Zhang Yuanwai asked in shock.
"That's not true. I just had a discussion with him over some trivial matters. He doesn't know the purpose of my going there." Zhou Chen waved his hand.
"That's good, that's good." Zhang Yuanwai nodded, and then said with emotion, "It's amazing that he can defeat you at such a young age. Could it be that he is a martial arts wizard?" Although Zhang Yuanwai is not a martial artist, But I also know a little bit about the division of warrior realms.
"The higher his martial arts skills, the greater the suspicion. It is very likely that the Tiger Power Yang Pill came from his hands. He is young, has strong physical strength, and his martial arts is so good. There is no way he needs that kind of pill to strengthen his body." *Yang. And according to my observation, he is a clean person and is not addicted to women. He has never touched a woman these days. Therefore, he cannot go to Fu'an Inn to buy medicine, but to deliver medicine. If this speculation is true, then the real source of the Huli Zhuang Yang Pill is the Hongchen Inn." Zhou Chen's eyes narrowed slightly and he deduced.
"Well, it's possible." Zhang Yuanwai nodded and his face darkened.
In comparison, Luo Ming's face was even heavier. He frowned and said, "If this Tiger Strength Yang Pill really comes from Hongchenke, it would be very difficult. Shen Luoxia alone is difficult enough to deal with. In addition, Zhao Zheng, who has the strength of the third level, is definitely not something that the three of us can attack."
"This matter cannot be concluded yet. I have not been able to find the tools for alchemy or other clues related to the elixirs in the Hongchen Inn. For now, I am just suspicious of the Hongchen Inn. Those elixirs may also come from the hands of others. " Zhou Chen didn't want to hear Luo Ming's depressing words, so he changed the subject and asked, "Forget about me, what have you two gained in these days?"
"The two of us have gained nothing just like you. Although we have investigated many people, none of them are the bosses behind the scenes." Zhang Yuanwai said with a bitter smile.
Zhang Yuanwai and Luo Yuanwai then each reported what they had found out over the past few days, but there was no breakthrough.
The three of them seemed to have been treading water these days, wasting time and energy in vain.
The discussion reached a deadlock. After the three people finished reporting, they stopped talking and drank bitter tea in silence.
After a long time, Luo Ming broke the deadlock and asked in a deep voice: "Do you two have any other suggestions? If there is no good solution, I don't want to accompany you anymore. I have been working hard on this matter these days, and I have been working hard for a long time.
My family's business has been delayed a lot and I have lost a lot of money."
"Brother Luo, don't be anxious. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. We have spent so much thought on this matter. Wouldn't it be a pity if we gave up halfway?" Zhang Yuanwai quickly put down his tea cup and spoke to comfort him.
"It's a pity that there is no way. Not every business in the world can be successful." Luo Ming said.
"This deal is of great significance. If it is completed, we will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives. As brothers, we should stick to it a little longer," Zhang Yuanwai said.
"Then I will spend another half month with you two. If there is still no progress after the deadline, you two should stop stopping me." Luo Ming said sadly.
"If you want to make progress immediately, there is nothing you can do. It just requires a dangerous move." Zhou Chen suddenly interrupted the conversation of the other two people and looked at them.
"What dangerous move?" Zhang Yuanwai asked quickly, and Luo Ming on the other side also raised his eyebrows.
"Kidnap Ma An and force a confession directly!" Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes and said fiercely.
…
The walls of Fu'an Inn are very soundproof. Once night comes, the room will become quiet, and you will never hear anything going on in the next room or in the corridor.
Because it is quiet, Ma An sleeps deeply every night.
Tonight was no exception. After he put his daughter to sleep, he returned to his room and fell asleep too. He slept deeply and soundly, without even a dream.
But just as he was sleeping in the middle of his sleep, he was suddenly awakened by a noise. He opened his eyes hazily and looked into the darkness.
The sound came from the other side of the door. A black shadow broke through the door and strode towards this side.
Is this black shadow a human or a ghost?
Ma An was startled, and just as he was about to scream, he was knocked unconscious by the black shadow that rushed towards him. He half-closed his eyes, his head was spinning, and his consciousness was somewhere between half asleep and half awake. He felt that he
He was lifted up by the black shadow, and then carried out of the house and into the living room.
He still retained a trace of consciousness in his heart, and secretly complained about the sound insulation effect of this room. If the sound insulation of this room was worse, it might disturb the people in the next room.
The room was dark, illuminated only by the faint moonlight. Through the faint moonlight, Ma An saw some blood stains on the ground. In the darkness, these blood stains appeared particularly clear.
He shuddered, had a vague premonition, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom. He wanted to shout, but he fell into a deeper coma. He couldn't feel anything, not even his soul.
Falling into dead silence. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a Piaotian Literature member to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
