Chapter 190 Hidden Arrow Martial Master Covets
There are 6 complete and 8 incomplete rubbings of ancient characters on Zhou You's body.

Among the 14 characters, the one in the worst condition is clearer and more intact than the one being auctioned.

According to his guess, the previous rubbing may have been reproduced twice, three times, or even many times.

Stone carvings have been passed down from hand to hand from ancient times to the present day, so damage is inevitable.

The first generation of rubbings is the most complete, so some people invite skilled craftsmen to restore it for a second time, and then put it on objects and stone walls for appreciation and collection. The second rubbing version is somewhat distorted, and so on, the original appearance of the text is gradually distorted.

Many tiny details are lost in the process of being reproduced over and over again.

From a professional perspective, Zhou You believes that the true value of the rubbing is less than 10%.

Even so, it still caused a sensation in the cockfighting arena, and the legend of someone becoming rich instantly spread everywhere.

"There's nothing to see!"

The warrior surnamed Ji saw Zhou You was about to leave, and tried to stop him, "Brother Lu, are you in such a hurry to leave now?"

"Stay a few more days. There will be a life-and-death fight tomorrow and a gentle place the day after tomorrow. I guarantee you will be amazed."

Zhou You waved his hand and declined, "No, I've already had an eye-opener on this trip to the capital, I want to go back."

"Then I'll take you there!"

Zhou You looked at him strangely, "Don't you have anything to do?"

The warrior surnamed Ji's heart skipped a beat, realizing that he was too eager and aroused the other party's vigilance. He hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, I just have to go out of town tomorrow to do some business."

"No need, I'll leave as soon as I finish packing, the time is uncertain."

After the warrior surnamed Ji watched Zhou You leave, his eyes darkened and became cold and gloomy.

A moment later, he came to a private room in the cockfighting arena, where four people were already waiting.

"How's the friendship with Poison Goose going?"

The young man who was speaking was holding a folding fan, with a jade ring on his waist. His eyes were as slender as a phoenix's, and he was a rare handsome man.

When he asked the question, his tone was clearly superior to that of the inferior.

The warrior surnamed Ji lowered his head, his attitude was very humble, "The other party is very vigilant, I can't get him to say anything, he is a difficult character."

Although he had a minor notoriety, he was nothing compared to the young master.

The handsome young man is named Hua Zhuomo. Under his good-looking appearance, he is a villain who has done all kinds of evil. He is lustful by nature and finds cruelty to women the greatest pleasure in his life.

He hooked up with a young man from the Lan family, a wealthy family in the city. They had similar tastes and offered each other many ways to have sexual pleasure.

For example, releasing hungry dogs to chase away young girls, leaving them to run barefoot in the thorn bushes.

The jade-white carcasses were either cut by sharp thorns and covered in blood, or eaten to pieces by vicious dogs.

There is nothing wrong with a vicious dog eating a person, but if the girl dares to fight back, she will pounce on the vicious dog and shoot it on the spot.

If hatred could be turned into substance, Hua Zhuomu, the accomplice who assisted the evil, would have been crushed to pieces long ago.

"Poison Goose Lu Zhigang, hey!"

Hua Zhuomo called the warrior named Ji to come to his side, "I have a useless junior brother, he doesn't have much ability, but he is more capable than me."

"He couldn't make it in the city, so he went to the small town of Gongliang to hunt for food. Unexpectedly, he capsized and failed."

"The one who killed him was Lu Zhigang."

The warrior at the side smiled and said, "That's great. Let him stay. Let's avenge Brother Hua's junior brother."

"I'll avenge that bastard."

Hua Zhuomu cursed, "There is a reward in Gongliang City, and Lu Zhigang got a bonus of 10 taels."

"How about we make a small fortune by killing him this time?"

So this is the real purpose.

Hua Zhuomo spent a lot of effort to be a dog for others, but at best he was just a high-end toy. The nobleman was not stupid and only treated him as a toy to entertain himself and would not make any important use of him.

He was used to spending lavishly, so he was short of money. He gathered around him a group of notorious warriors, who were trying to find ways to make money.

Coincidentally, a few days ago, a warrior from Sucheng saw Zhou You appear nearby and reported it to Hua Zhuomo.

Hua Zhuomu is cold-hearted by nature. He doesn't care about his cheap junior brother, but he is very jealous of the reward offered to him.

"It's settled. We'll take action outside the city tomorrow and capture Lu Zhigang alive. Cut him into human sticks and put them in pickle jars. Then squeeze out all the fat."

The warrior named Ji interjected, "Don't worry, Brother Hua. I have secretly observed him. Lu Zhigang's aura is definitely that he has a huge amount of money. He looks at everything calmly."

"When he heard the offer during the transaction, he didn't show any surprise. He must be very rich."

Hua Zhuomo nodded, "That's it. His poison palm is very powerful, so we need to prepare some tricks."

A few people were discussing, and suddenly someone spoke in their ears, "How about I get a share?"

The voice was very close, as if someone was standing behind them and whispering in their ears, but there was clearly no one behind them.

The tightly closed door of the private room instantly turned into paper and was easily torn in half.

The uninvited guest first sent a message and then showed up, shocking Hua Zhuomu and the others so much that they all stood up and took up defensive boxing stances.

"It turned out to be Mr. Gao!"

Hua Zhuomu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person coming.

The uninvited guest was a junior martial artist with grey hair, dark spots on his face, and hands with thick joints.

The key point is that this martial artist named Gao is a wanted criminal in the city, Gao Laozhuang.

He was originally supported by a wealthy family and had no worries about food and clothing, but he had a conflict with a member of the wealthy family.

As for retainers, no matter how much respect they are given, they are hired outsiders after all, and wealthy families will naturally prefer their own family members.

As time went by, Gao Laozhuang became more and more angry and felt that he could not endure it any longer.

One day, the conflict escalated and he exploded on the spot. He tore the enemy tribesman in half, and then he became so ruthless that he killed all the people in that family, young and old, leaving no one alive.

He did not waste any energy before killing them. He straightened his old waist and plowed the fields of the women in the other family one by one.

He had the confidence to do this at that time. The predecessors in Moyun Village had set an example for him, and if he couldn't make it, he could become a mountain king.

In addition, he had a good relationship with the big chief in the past, so if he joined him, he would definitely be able to become a leader!

however……

Changes always happen faster than planned.

The day after the killing, news came that Moyun Village was destroyed.

Gao Laozhuang was completely dumbfounded. Once the arrow was shot, there was no turning back. He could only go down this path until the end.

The wealthy family reacted quickly, wanted posters for him were posted all over the city, and warriors were everywhere wanting to claim the reward for his head.

Hua Zhuo rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Gao wants to join us. We warmly welcome him."

"Join us, hey, do you think you are worthy? I will just sit back and share the spoils. I will only take a cut, but I will not participate."

Gao Laozhuang said arrogantly.

Hua Zhuomo stared at him, remembering that the reward for this old man was also 7 taels of silver!
He laughed, "Okay, Mr. Gao, please take the trouble to support us. After the work is done, I will give you 5%."

"7%."

Hua Zhuomo's accomplices were very angry, and when Hua Zhuomo pushed them into a corner, they just fell out with each other.

The Gao family is not one to be seen in public, so at worst we can just part ways.

It's not convenient to go to the cockfighting arena. Once we leave here, there will be plenty of ways to deal with him.

"7% off, Mr. Gao, it's a pleasure to work with you."

A conspiracy, two groups of people, with seven or eight intentions working together, secretly plotting a conspiracy.
