I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Chapter 131 Encounter on the road
The grass is lush and the warblers are flying, the ancient road is quiet and remote.

The warm wind blew towards him, and Zhang Yuan felt relaxed and happy as he rode his horse.

At this moment, he had no idea that someone had offered a high reward for his capture.

But even if Zhang Yuan knew, he wouldn't be surprised at all.

Because he had expected this.

After arriving in Qing'an County, he learned about the situation of the mission target, Zhao Rongbin, and read the message Yue Wuji left for him.

Zhang Yuan guessed some of the thoughts of the War Hall Master.

Yue Wuji obviously wanted to train him to be a sharp weapon to stab the enemies.

But even though they are both weapons, they can be divided into open guns and hidden arrows!
Dark Arrow is a killer assassin.

In Zhang Yuan’s last mission, he demonstrated his ability to shoot opponents from a long distance.

Take the enemy by surprise and kill with one strike!

The Ming Qiang is a warrior who can fight the enemy openly.

The decision depends entirely on Zhang Yuan himself.

Once Zhang Yuan makes his choice, Yue Wuji will definitely invest corresponding resources to sharpen his weapon.

Charge into battle for the Whale Gang, or clear the way!
Of course Zhang Yuan can also give up the mission.

Then he will be of no use to Yue Wuji and can be simply used as cannon fodder.

Having lived two lives, Zhang Yuan was still able to guess some of the thoughts of those in higher positions.

Compared to an assassin, he would rather be a general!

Therefore, Zhang Yuan gave up the idea of ​​sneak attack on Zhao Rongbin and went straight to challenge him and kill the powerful enemy head-on.

He did not hide his real name and origins, both to establish his authority and to gain fame.

Establish your own name in this world!

Being offered a bounty will only make Zhang Yuan's reputation spread wider and more famous.

The only concern is that the angry enemy might take revenge on Zhang Yuan's mother.

After all, not everyone can abide by the underworld rule that misfortune should not extend to one's family members.

Therefore, in the letter that Zhang Yuan asked Zhan Peng to send back to Linhe, he expressed his willingness to use the reward from this mission in exchange for Zhang's mother's relocation to Jingbao.

Even if it's just a short stay.

Whale Castle is the headquarters of the Linhe Branch. It is heavily guarded and has many experts, as well as three fourth-level warriors.

Nature is the safest.

Zhang Yuan believed that Yue Wuji would not refuse his request for either emotional or logical reasons.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it chill people’s hearts?
And to be honest, isn't Zhang's mother the best hostage for the gang leaders to control Zhang Yuan?
Zhang Yuan understood that he was now weak and alone, and he had to rely closely on the Angry Whale Gang to grow.

The better he performs, the wider the road ahead will be.

There will always be a day when you can break free from the shackles and fly high!
Precisely because he had thought it through clearly, Zhang Yuan was able to embark on the journey of training with confidence.

As he traveled north, he met more and more business travelers.

As the saying goes, big tricks hide in mountains and swamps, small tricks appear in the wild.

There are no big mountains or swamps in the area north of Qing'an. Most of the area is open plains and rolling hills.

There are many villages scattered around, and the population is quite dense.

This is very different from the scene around the river.

It’s also much safer.

After traveling hundreds of miles, Zhang Yuan's mount was out of breath, so he stopped at a roadside tea stand.

Such tea stalls along official roads are not uncommon, providing a place for traveling merchants to rest and drink some tea to replenish their energy.

The tea stall was very simple, with seven or eight tables inside and quite a few people sitting there.

Among these people there are both traveling merchants and wanderers.

There was even a monk.

This tea stall is run by an elderly couple who are busy serving tea and water to the guests.

Zhang Yuan led the horse aside, then brought a bundle of hay to feed it.

He found an empty seat and sat down, calling the boss. The gray-haired boss quickly brought Zhang Yuan a pot of hot tea, nodded and asked, "Sir, would you like two sesame cakes? The donkey meat hot cakes are freshly baked, and they taste great!"

Zhang Yuan sniffed, nodded and said, "Then give me five to try."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver and threw it on the table: "No need to change."

"Thank you sir!"

The boss was overjoyed and hurriedly collected the silver: "Please wait a moment, I will bring it to you right away."

The silver Zhang Yuan gave was three coins.

And five donkey meat hot buns plus tea cost less than a hundred coins.

What a wealthy customer!
Soon, the boss brought a plate of five donkey meat buns.

Zhang Yuan reached out and grabbed one.

The crispy skin of this fire-baked bread, the tender donkey meat and the slightly salty sauce blend together, the taste is unexpectedly good.

I didn’t expect there would be such delicious food in a roadside shop!
He was greatly impressed and finished one in just a few bites.

"Where to run!"

Just as Zhang Yuan grabbed the second donkey meat hotpot and was about to devour it.

Suddenly, a roar was heard from afar.

The sound is like thunder, breathtaking!
Zhang Yuan and the people in the tea stall couldn't help but look in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw two men desperately running away on the official road not far away, and a man was chasing them from behind.

In just a moment, the two fleeing men were caught up.

The pursuer brandished a big sword in his hand and knocked them to the ground in a few strokes, cursing at the same time: "How dare you cheat me? You really don't know how to live or die. Hand over all the money you have!"

A man fell to the ground and wailed loudly: "Auntie, please spare my life, I really have no money!"

The pursuer was furious and kicked hard: "You don't have money to open your mother's gambling game?"

"what!"

The man's screams were extremely shrill.

The other person struggled to crawl towards the tea shed, raising his hands and calling for help: "Help, help!"

As a result, everyone in the tea stall turned their heads away, pretending not to see or hear anything.

The most taboo thing when you are in the world is to meddle in other people's affairs.

What’s more, the person asking for help is a cheating gambler!
Even the monk closed his eyes and just said "Amitabha".

"Save your mother!"

The next moment, the man calling for help was also stepped on.

Hold your breath on the spot.

The pursuer swung his sword to cut off the opponent's belt, and swept his clothes left and right, trying to find some valuables.

The result was nothing.

"Pooh!"

She spat unwillingly.

Then he came to the tea stall angrily with a big sword in hand.

At this time, Zhang Yuan could clearly see the other person's true face.

This extremely strong woman had disheveled hair, a slender figure, dark skin, fierce eyes, and half of her face was covered with a purple-red birthmark. There was also a large black-haired mole above her left slanted eye.

To be honest, Zhang Yuan had never seen a woman uglier than her in his life.

In comparison, the previously crude village women in Chenjia Village now looked much prettier.

The fierce and ugly woman glanced around, and no one in the tea stall dared to look at her.

Including several gangsters.

The ugly and fierce woman snorted coldly, then sat down opposite Zhang Yuan in a dignified manner.

She put the sword in her hand on the table and shouted, "Boss, give me a pot of herbal tea!"
