Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 660
Liaoxi County is a relatively rich place in Jianzhou.

He has a meadow that is a great place to graze.

It can be said that it is a very common phenomenon to see cattle and sheep when the wind blows and the grass is low.

Moreover, he is located in the southern part of Jianzhou, and has frequent exchanges with the outside world.

It is also an important place to go south, with relatively intensive commercial exchanges, and it has also become the target of some bandits.

It is precisely because of this great treasure that Yuma is entrenched here.

Robbing the business travelers coming and going.

Of course, Yuma is not the only team in western Liaoning. As bandits became more and more rampant, merchants and the government began to increase protection and clean up the bandits in western Liaoning.

Except for horse bandits like Yuma, the rest have been reduced to ashes.

And Yuma took advantage of this opportunity to rise up.

Absorbed the remnants of the bandits, and at the same time annexed other horse bandits to strengthen their own team.

With Liaoxi County as the main base, they moved around and looted.

Running around, they are as elusive as monkeys.

Of course, the merchants did not escape Yuma's looting either.

As the team grows, Yuma's targets also expand.

They acted irregularly and committed crimes completely randomly.

But there is one thing, Yuma is not reckless, he wants to grab the caravan when he sees it.

Rather, there should be a certain source of information. Whether it was obtained by oneself or provided by others is unknown.

But what is certain is that even if they commit crimes randomly, they still have a certain understanding of the people they come and go, and they have never encountered a powerful enemy in robbery.

Even the several ambushes designed by Liaoxi County were subtly avoided by them, only a small number of people were eaten, and Yuma's main force has not suffered a fatal blow so far.

On the surface, Liaoxi is calm and calm, but in the dark, wandering horses are a threat to the business travelers coming and going.

Whether it was a group or a guest, very few survived Yuma's hands, and there were very few survivors.

Especially in this day and age, when people are looted and taken away, outsiders can't figure out whether people are alive or dead.

The families of the victims were heartbroken.

Of course, it is very difficult for you to let the people in Yuma realize their conscience.

It is said that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. The general environment of Yuma is such that those who enter it will be assimilated, and those who cannot assimilate must have died. This is a group of cunning enemies.

The three of Chen Zheng were riding on horses, and they were dressed as warriors without any disguise.

When performing tasks, the people in the Procuratorate will wear corresponding face masks, so there is no need to worry about revealing their identities.

The current identities of the three are casual martial artists walking the rivers and lakes.

It's just that there is a small head in Chen Zheng's arms.

It's Ali.

Now it can freely control the size of its own body, which is probably a black technology that it suddenly learned.

In her true form, Ahri is about 1.3 meters long, and it is impossible for Chen Zheng to hold her in his arms.

Now it is only as long as a forearm, and it just curled up and curled up in Chen Zheng's arms, with a small head exposed to let the wind out.

Ahri's cultivation is improving very fast, even faster than a warrior's cultivation.

The last breakthrough also happened to be the day when Chen Zheng broke through.

Now Chen Zheng is still in the late stage of Zhou Tian Realm, while Ah Li has reached the middle stage of Zhou Tian Realm.

Converted into actual combat power, he is already in the middle stage of Tongmai Realm, and Chen Zheng doesn't seem to be able to fight.

Chen Zheng still attaches great importance to his own life, not only brought two bodyguards of Tongmai Realm, but also Ali, a strange beast whose combat power is comparable to that of the middle stage of Tongmai Realm.

In the system space, there is also Chen Zheng's big killer, which can not only escape for his life, but also has the big guy Pangpang.

Chen Zheng has already realized that Pang Pang is too powerful to be too aggressive. Pang Pang has done a lot of things, all using methods that Chen Zheng can't understand.

In Chen Zheng's view, it was no longer martial arts, it was like an instinct.

In this way, Chen Zheng felt more and more that the thing brought over by the system was absolutely extraordinary.

It also made him a little more doubtful. Is the system really the product of his lame master?So Pang Pang's strange method, is it something that warriors can deal with?
Able to control the vitality of heaven and earth at will to form various postures.

The original epee transformed into a sugar ball and ate it.

Also, when Chen Zheng was about to break through, he couldn't keep up his strength. It was Pangpang who mobilized the vitality of heaven and earth to replenish it.

Having such a method means that Pangpang looks like a cute little thing, but in fact it is unfathomable.

Everything about a warrior depends on his vitality.

Even a body-training martial artist cannot do without using vitality to motivate himself.

It can be said that vitality is everything that makes up martial arts.

As long as one is a warrior, one cannot do without vitality.

But Pang Pang can control vitality, since he can control it, he can dismiss it.

As long as it's related to vitality, don't think about hurting Pangpang.

And those related to vitality are all warriors.

Chen Zheng reckoned that unless he was a martial artist in the Dao realm, or just relying on martial arts and the like, it might be a tonic for Pang Pang.

Even warriors can't effectively attack Pang Pang, let alone ordinary people.

There was no disturbance when the three of them came along the way.

Calm and calm.

There were quite a few business travelers coming and going, and the closer they were to Liaoxi County, the more nervous they looked.

It is precisely because of the existence of Yuma.

Yuma's people don't show mercy.

Many business travelers are consciously moving forward in groups.

It is very easy to gain unexpected results when traveling alone, especially at night.

The three of them, Chen Zheng, also followed a joint caravan to Liaoxi County.

He was hired as three casual warriors and had a considerable income.

Xiantian realm warriors can no longer be hired by casual caravans.

Only large caravans can have the opportunity to hire Xiantian realm warriors.

One at the late stage of Zhoutian Realm, and two at the Tongmai Realm, can be said to be the combat power that can be hired in general chambers of commerce.

And through communicating with the people in the caravan, Chen Zheng also learned about some of Yuma's situation in Liaoxi County.

At present, the scale of Yuma seems to have expanded again. In the past, Yuma gathered forces to attack in one place.

But just last month, Yuma acted again, this time two robberies were carried out at the same time.

The number of each will not be less than a thousand.

Even though it was a dark and windy night, he could tell it was Yuma.

Because Yuma has a distinctive whistle, they are also used to leaving various marks on the scene.

It seems that he is specifically trying to provoke the government.

This is Yuma's first double attack.

And the goods that were stolen were not ordinary.

It is a product of the Shi family, a local family in Liaoxi County.

The Shi family can be said to be the leading family in western Liaoning.

My ancestor used to be a helper in a hotel. After acquiring certain knowledge and skills, he used his own savings to open a small restaurant. It gradually developed and grew and became a leader in the catering industry in Liaoxi County.

Then it reached out to wine, vegetables, meat and other industries.

It forms an industrial chain with their own catering industry.

It is also growing stronger in Liaoxi County.

People eat for food.

People are always inseparable from eating.

The Shi family's property is closely related to what they eat, so naturally they earn a lot of money.

Known as an excellent businessman, he has considerable capital.

Then at this time, the Shi family began to develop in the direction of politics and martial arts.

They started as businessmen and they knew that money alone would not be able to keep their property, and they had to have both money, power and military in their hands to maintain the survival of the family.

Facts have proved that this is a very correct decision.

The Shi family vigorously cultivated their children.

Those who study literature go to the academy, and those who study martial arts find martial arts masters.

The corresponding talents will appear soon.

One is studying in an academy and participating in scientific examinations, and the other is just a beginner in martial arts and begins to wander outside the rivers and lakes.

Both of these people have achieved certain achievements.

Xuewen held a certain official position in the Liaoxi county government.

With his own hands, Xuewu got to know some good players and formed a group of loose martial artists outside, with a good reputation.

While earning money, he also sent many excellent warriors to the family.

This became an opportunity for the Shi family to rise again.

Now Shi Jiawen has children not only in Liaoxi County, but also in other counties in Jianzhou.

And there are two parts in martial arts, one inherited the legacy of the predecessors, and opened up a hired group of casual martial artists outside, accepting various employments.

At the same time, it also helps the family to deal with some things that are inconvenient to come forward.

Another one opened up a martial arts gym and recruited many students.

It is also open to the family and systematically trains the children of the family.

Continuously train martial arts talents for the Shi family.

Also with the help of such civil and military power, the Shi family's fundamental industry is also booming.

It is different from ordinary families.

Many families began to shift the focus of the family after their descendants embarked on the path of civil and military affairs.

Industry is instead a subsidiary product.

The Shi family is just the opposite.

They used civil and military forces to protect and promote the development of their own catering industry. Also after the catering industry expanded, they had a lot of money to smooth relations with the civil and military personnel of the Shi family, purchase various needed resources, etc.

The three complement each other and are indispensable.

Now the Shi family's catering industry is not only for the working people, but also for many dignitaries.

From the very first tea, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea, to the current Lingmi, Lingguo and exotic animal meat.It can be said that the Shi family cannot get around the problem of eating for the people in Liaoxi County.

In this way, the Shi family secured its position as the leader of Liaoxi.

Yuma had plundered a lot before, but he had never heard of any conflicts with the Shi family.

This time, there were two consecutive shots, which always made people feel that things were not that simple.

Chen Zheng secretly kept this matter in his heart.

The conflict between the Shi family and Yuma seems to be exploitable.

But what Chen Zheng was curious about was why Yuma would take action?
According to the captain of the caravan, the Shi family's business is in the catering industry, and the most traded goods are various ingredients.

This is used to satisfy the appetite, even if it is Lingmi, Lingguo, and different animal meat, it will have a little more vitality, and it will be effective if taken in large quantities for a long time.

These things are really not very attractive to Yuma.

It's better to have a good wine.

Chen Zheng thought that there shouldn't be much problem with his guess. Either the Shi family had obtained some treasure or person, or else Yuma had made a deal with some people and asked Yuma to help him handle some things.

Based on what Chen Zheng only knew, combined with these, he came up with a short guess.

The three of them followed the caravan into the city.

There were no accidents along the way, so it can be said that we arrived safely.

It can also be said that the boss of the caravan broke up peacefully.

Chen Zheng could see a relieved smile on the faces of the caravan boss and others after safely entering the county town of Liaoxi County.

The spirit that has been tense during this time can finally be relieved to a certain extent.

This also reflects from the side that Yuma and his group are indeed threatening.

Similarly, the defense strength of Liaoxi County City is also very sufficient and has not been relaxed. Obviously, in the face of Yuma's threat, the local government is not letting go.

There is considerable vigilance.

After all, a nimble horse bandit, or cavalry, has certain abilities and feasibility for attacking cities and territories, so you must be vigilant.

Through the unique contact means of the Procuratorate, Chen Zheng discovered the contact mark that had been secretly arranged.

Then the three of them followed the signs and finally came to an antique shop.

The name is also simple and rude, it is called an antique shop.

To describe it with a little more gorgeous words is concise and to the point.

Shen Kuo, like Chen Zheng, was named useless, so he directly set up an antique shop to cover up his identity.

And since this is a real antique shop, everything necessary for a perfect disguise is there.

There are all kinds of servants, cashiers, and shopkeepers, and they are all their own people.

As soon as Chen Zheng went in, he answered the code directly.

"I want to buy a baby from my childhood. I wonder if your store has them?"

"It's an objective coincidence, isn't it? Our store has just received a batch of high-quality antiques from the Zhou Dynasty. I don't know what type you like? May I recommend it to you?"

"Da Zhou is most famous for their totems. I hope to find a baby with a flying bear totem. I wonder if you have any?"

"Hey, guest officer, you are embarrassing me. Such a treasure is not something that a boy can know, our shopkeeper may know, please go over and talk to him." After speaking, the boy began to lead Leading Chen Zheng and the three of them to the backyard of the antique shop.

"Shopkeeper, some customers want to ask if there is a baby with Da Zhou's flying bear totem. I brought it here for you."

"Please come in." A voice that seemed to be pinching the plate came out.

The boy made a safe gesture to Chen Zheng, and then the others went to the outside world to guard. The content of the next words must be very confidential, and they are not something people like them can listen to.

As soon as Chen Zheng went in, he saw a familiar figure, Shen Kuo.

After knowing that it was his own people who came, Shen Kuo did not continue to wear his disguise mask but showed his true colors.

When the two of them came up, it was a kind of bear hug, and they didn't see each other for a while.
