The lean man's face was gloomy, especially at this moment when the moon was dark, the wind was high and the light rain was falling, which made his expression even darker.
There were four other people behind him. Although none of them spoke, it could be seen that they were all of the same kind, because just by standing there, they gave off the feeling of being in a fish and meat village.
Shen Qing frowned and said, "If you want to take me, you must have a reason, and this reason must convince me. Otherwise, I am not a submissive person who can be at your mercy!"
Upon hearing this, the lean man not only was not angry, but actually laughed out loud.
He turned back to look at the few followers beside him, smiled and pointed: "Hey, did you hear that? This kid said that he was very tight, and he was not a submissive person. Haha, don't you need to be like this?"
funny?"
"Haha, Mr. Zheng, why don't you give me a chance and let me see how naughty he is?"
"Don't mention Mr. Zheng, give me this opportunity, and I will make sure he understands a truth you often say, that is, in this territory, Mr. Zheng, your words are the truth!"
Several followers rushed to speak, all looking like they wanted to perform well in front of the so-called Master Zheng.
Of course, as for how to behave, it was natural to give Shen Qing a lesson.
To be honest, from their point of view, this is really no problem. As the chief guard of the Qijia's external guard, Zheng Jiuchang has been responsible for the security of this area for more than ten years, not to mention that he has the Qijia mountain behind him
, just talking about his own ruthless methods, he glared, who dares to be restless in this area?
Therefore, in the eyes of Zheng Jiuchang himself and those who follow him, what Shen Qing just said is very ridiculous. You said that you are a little foreigner who can't even afford to stay in an inn and has to sleep on the streets.
Why don't you know how to restrain your temper? Why don't you insist on being in trouble with yourself and confront the local bully in this area?!
Yes, Zheng Jiuchang does not deny that there are usually no outsiders in this area, but whenever a large number of outsiders arrive, it must be during the Qiankun Soul Competition, and during this period, there may be many outsiders who are inconspicuous but have amazing identities.
on
He is an upper-class person, but this kid is obviously not good. Which upper-class person would act like a stray dog in the streets in the middle of the night on a rainy day? What's more, for any upper-class person, the Qi family would have already given him information.
Just to prevent him from offending the superiors.
Therefore, Zheng Jiuchang is very sure that this is a country bumpkin with a bad temper who hasn't even grown hair yet. He has never seen the world and doesn't know how to behave with his tail between his legs when he goes out, especially when he looks like that.
When Zheng Jiuchang made do with clothes, he understood that this brat was probably the young master of a certain local family. He was used to being coaxed by cows in his own family's three-thirds of an acre of land, so he felt like a horny person when he went outside.
!
With this in mind, Zheng Jiuchang waved his hand, indicating to his followers not to say much for now, and that he would ask a few questions.
"Hey, little brother, if you heard me right, you were asking me for a reason just now, right?"
Zheng Jiuchang's expression was full of ridicule, and even a fool could see that he didn't really want to give a reasonable explanation, but rather wanted to tease and humiliate.
Shen Qing glanced at him and said, "You don't have to do it now."
"Don't!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Jiuchang naturally thought that Shen Qing was scared, but he did not expect that Shen Qing actually felt that there was no need to waste words with such people. If they dared to go overboard in the slightest, they would just open it up.
But he didn't expect that he still felt good about himself and thought that he had scared the other person, so this humiliation would have to go through to the end. After all, he was very "kind" and felt that it was very necessary for him to let this kid understand.
, you need to be careful with your words and deeds when you go out, otherwise if you say the wrong thing, you will have to pay the price!
"No, no, no, no, little brother, please don't say this. Our brothers are surrounding you in the middle of the night. If we don't give you a reasonable explanation, we won't be treated as bullies if word spreads. Don't you think so?"
Shen Qing sneered, "I don't have the time to spread bad words about you, but I advise you to stay away from me."
"Oh, little brother, why are you so unreasonable? Since you asked just now, and I, Zheng, also said that I will give you an explanation, then I will definitely give it. As the saying goes, a gentleman's words are hard to follow.
If you don't let me say it, you are already insulting my character, right?"
With that said, Zheng Jiuchang took two steps forward and was already in front of Shen Qing. His cold and contemptuous smile was filled with the disdainful ridicule of a strong person towards a weak person.
This time, Shen Qing simply ignored him, because he really understood the need to be careful about his words and actions when going out. Especially after getting involved in the feud with Ji Ruisong, he understood more and more that it was better to do less than to do more.
But of course, this is not because he is afraid, but because he is waiting for the absolute advantage of reason. In fact, he can probably guess what this group of people does. They are nothing more than the guards hired by the Qi family to be responsible for the security of this place, and
As a patrolling guard, there is nothing wrong with checking suspicious people in the middle of the night, so as long as the other party does not go too far, no matter how much trouble is made, he cannot become Zhanli'er's party.
Then why should he pay any attention to them? Since he didn't steal or steal and was sitting upright, he could just wait for the other party to attack first. As long as the other party did something extreme, I'm sorry, at that time,
Then he can just talk loudly and teach him a lesson without having to worry about anything anymore!
It is worth mentioning here that although there is no royal court in the Northern Wilderness Continent, each place also has its own system. As for the system's creator, taking Wuyun County as an example, it is naturally led by Que Yuzong
The righteous sects were built together, and as long as they want to be attached to these righteous sects, the subordinate forces must abide by the rules of the righteous way, and no one is exempt from this.
So Qi Tianyang had to go through a lot of trouble to kill Shen Qing in his own territory. This is the reason. Killing for life is the unchanging rule of the righteous way. Unless, you can do it without leaking, or there is some reasonable reason.
Contract, or...justifiable defense.
And Shen Qing is undoubtedly waiting for the opportunity to defend himself. Otherwise, if things get serious, he will indeed be in a lot of trouble.
After all, this is not Wanren Mountain, let alone Qinglu Road. There is only "a wall" between this place and the inner city of Wuyun. To put it bluntly, it is under the nose of the righteous rules and regulations, and it does not involve competition for power. Once someone kills people at will, it will involve
But it is a public matter. When the time comes, not to mention the Qi family, but also any righteous force in Wuyun outer city can put him on trial...
Because after all, the same thing is said, this is a foreign country, no one here will support him, let alone protect him!
Of course, in fact, when the sects are not unified, this kind of rules are only for the little people. When the big sects are fighting openly and secretly, it doesn't matter how many people die. And let alone the death of people, it means annihilation.
So what if we lose an entire sect?
Therefore, Shen Qing has to be more cautious. In fact, Zheng Jiuchang is right to think about this. In Qinglu Road, the Shen family is the first family and the leader in charge of the rules. Although they have never acted arrogantly, even if
If they really did that, the so-called fault will never be on them.
In Wanren Mountain, Shen Qing was considered a respectable person because of several big movements in a row, so he could still obtain certain "privileges", but he did not use these privileges to do anything special.
That's all.
But here, in the outer city of Wuyun, he is just an outsider, a passer-by who will not be noticed when walking on the street. Therefore, if he makes any noise here, no matter how powerful he is here,
Or maybe public opinion will all turn against him!
This is beyond doubt.
This means that people under the eaves have to bow their heads!
However, the so-called bowing your head naturally does not mean breaking your teeth and swallowing it in your stomach, but you must ensure that you are absolutely right, because no matter how you say the rules are not set in stone, even if "the mountain is high and the emperor is far away", some things are beyond the control of the local people.
Snakes still don't dare to overstep too much.
For example, the Qi family's so-called inspections are actually bad behaviors that exploit outsiders.
Shen Qing had reason to believe that if he swallowed his anger and left with these people today, he would still be able to come out, but no matter how many yuan stones he had in his pocket, they would all end up in their pockets.
Or if he lets his temper prevail and takes the first action knowing that the other party must have bad intentions, then his result will definitely be that he will be imprisoned and he will not even be able to fish him out.
But if he first tolerates it and forces the other person to leap over the wall, it will be easy. Not only can he hit him back, but if the situation arises, he will "kill someone by mistake", and there will be no problem!
But of course, his heart is far from that violent, and he has never thought about taking the lives of these people. After all, there are many villains at this age, but they are just doing some despicable little bad things, and they are far more than just using their lives to make amends.
.
Just like these people in front of me, as long as they are not too excessive, Shen Qing thought, just give them some lessons to improve their memory, that's all.
However, the other party doesn't seem to think so...
Zheng Jiuchang said a lot in a series, all of which were provocative and sarcastic words, but after all he said, this kid closed his eyes and remained indifferent, which made him very annoyed!
"What the hell, you little bastard, you must be deaf. I've been saying this for a long time, why didn't you even fart?"
"If you don't speak, believe it or not, I will cut off your tongue and you will never be able to speak again!"
Zheng Jiuchang got a little angry. As he spoke, he drew his sword directly!
In fact, he originally thought the same as Shen Qing, because Shen Qing himself had no problem. Even if he forced himself to find fault, it was just that sleeping on the street in the middle of the night seemed suspicious. But if it is suspicious, you can cross-examine him, or if you still can't dispel your suspicion after cross-examination.
, you can send someone to observe, but no matter what, there is definitely no reason to take him away directly or take action.
Then the question arises. If he can't be taken away or attacked directly, how can he torture him in the dungeon to extract a confession, or beat him up to extort money?
Therefore, this is where he and Shen Qing have the same idea. He is also waiting for the other party to lose his patience and do something irrational.
It's a pity that his patience is far less than that of Shen Qing. After waiting and waiting, he finally lost his temper.
At this time, an imperceptible smile finally appeared on Shen Qing's lips...
