The Swordsman who started from Baicaotang

Baicaotang.

Mr. Gui was lying on a rattan chair, looking normal.

"Huang Feng, you have amazing talent and a promising future. Don't do anything stupid. In the martial arts world, some people like to do chivalrous things, but sometimes they have to do things within their capabilities. Naturally, someone will deal with Li Chufeng. We don't need to worry about it."

Huang Feng was called over for this matter. The young man was full of chivalry and passion. He thought he had learned some skills and wanted to do justice, but in the end he lost his life in vain and regretted it for the rest of his life.

Of course, Huang Feng is not a fool, and he would not do anything stupid beyond his ability. He did not respond, but changed the subject directly.

"Master Gui, the old hall master said he would teach me the art of alchemy, but I wonder when that will be?"

Alchemy is a good thing. As long as he gets this thing, he can make the elixir himself. Without the middleman to make a profit, he can save a lot of money.

"There is no rush for this matter!" Gui Lao replied calmly.

"You have amazing talent, and your cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds. It is too early for you to learn alchemy now. In my opinion, you should learn alchemy after you have entered the half-step innate realm."

"Alchemy is very complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive. We warriors mainly practice cultivation, and alchemy is just a means of making a living. Otherwise, even if you are very good at alchemy, if someone puts a knife to your neck, you still can't do anything."

"Besides, the higher your cultivation level, the easier it will be to master the art of alchemy. By then, you will save a lot of effort and get twice the result with half the effort."

Ok!

Huang Feng couldn't take it by force, so he had to give up. Maybe what Gui Lao said was true. For now, he should study hard and practice hard.

After getting the answer, there were no more questions. Huang Feng cupped his hands and was about to turn around and leave.

Whoosh!

Someone performed Qinggong and came quickly. Looking closely, it turned out to be Qin Liangzhu. He had a solemn expression, walked quickly, and his face was full of worries.

"Commander Qin!"

It was not until Huang Feng greeted him that he came back to his senses and hurriedly clasped his fists: "Huang Feng, you are here too!"

After saying this, he walked straight towards Mr. Gui, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him.

hiss~

unusual!

It’s probably something big!

With Huang Feng's current strength, he is qualified to participate in the major events of Baicaotang. He is also one of the big bosses of Baicaotang. If something big happens, Baicaotang will definitely invite him to come and discuss. Instead of running back and forth, it is better to wait here for a while.

as predicted!

After seeing the letter, Gui Lao stood up from the rattan chair with a thump. His expression changed drastically, no longer as calm as before, his brows furrowed, and anger rose in his eyes.

"It doesn't make sense! It doesn't make sense!"

Seeing that Mr. Gui was cursing, Huang Feng raised his eyebrows and immediately asked, "Mr. Gui, what's the matter?"

"Look at this! You are such an inhuman being! Such behavior is tantamount to digging someone's grave!"

Huang Feng took the letter from Mr. Gui's hand, unfolded it and looked at it, his face looked a little unhappy.

The letter read: "Within three days, Baicaotang needs to hand over one thousand bottles of top-grade Qi Pills, three thousand bottles of upper-grade Qi Pills, six thousand bottles of middle-grade Qi Pills, ten thousand bottles of lower-grade Qi Pills, and one hundred thousand bottles of top-grade Essence and Blood Pills."

"We also need to prepare 10 million catties of food and fodder, 100,000 catties of fine wine, and 1 million catties of high-quality meat. In addition, we need 5 million taels of silver, all to be sent to the Black Wind Village, 200 miles east of the city."

"If there is even a tiny bit less, we will kill everyone without leaving a single person alive."

There is another name left below: Li Shuangdao.

It was really a big mouthful. Whether it was elixirs or food, Baicaotang sold so much in a year, and it didn't need so much. No wonder Qin Liangzhu was in a hurry and looked worried.

After thinking for a while, Huang Feng said, "Mr. Gui, sometimes we don't want trouble, but trouble will come to us anyway."

"Ah!" Gui Lao sighed and asked,

"Where is the messenger?"

"I'm at your house, serving you good wine and delicious food." Qin Liangzhu replied in a deep voice, trying his best to suppress his anger.

"That's good! Let's calm this man down first! We need to inform the old hall master about this. Take this letter and go to the government office first to see what the government's attitude is. We pay countless taxes and levies every year, and we can't just let it go to waste."

After finishing speaking, Gui Lao was about to leave, but Qin Liangzhu stopped him and continued, "We also lost a batch of medicinal materials, and they also did that."

"It's OK if the herbs are lost, but it's OK if the people are fine!" Gui Lao replied casually, but unexpectedly Qin Liangzhu didn't say anything, his face was terribly gloomy. Gui Lao suddenly thought of something and said in surprise:

"Did something happen to someone too?"

"They're all dead!" Qin Liangzhu clenched his hands tightly, making a squeaking sound. He squeezed too hard, and his knuckles turned pale.

"All twenty-five guards had their heads chopped off, and the man put them in five sacks and gave them to us along with this letter."

What? ! !

Upon hearing the news, Mr. Gui felt as if he had been electrocuted. His body trembled and he was unable to recover for a long time.

"How could they do this! How could they do this! They have absolutely no sense of morality and they don't follow the rules at all! How hateful! How hateful!"

Baicaotang had encountered this kind of thing before, and there were also bandits who took risks and robbed the herbs. At most, they would injure the guards, leave the herbs behind, and ask Baicaotang to pay money to redeem them.

The bandits were also after money, at most they would extort money, but they would never kill people. This was the bottom line, and it was also an unwritten rule. If they killed someone, it would be a complete fall out, and it would be a situation of no return until death.

Gui Lao's tone changed from shock and anger at the beginning, to extreme anger in the middle, and then to helplessness at the end. The other party was a strong man in the Xiantian realm, and even if he was seriously injured, he was not something they could deal with.

It was so quiet all around that you could hear a pin drop. The atmosphere was extremely depressing and terrifying.

After a long time, Gui Lao finally spoke: "Take good care of your funeral affairs and give me more silver."

After saying this, he slowly left with heavy steps and a lonely look.

After a few breaths, Huang Feng finally started talking: "Commander Qin, why do you think we practice martial arts?"

Hearing this, Qin Liangzhu was shocked and said hurriedly: "Huang Feng, don't get involved in this matter. Li Chufeng is a Xiantian realm expert, and you can't deal with him. You are talented, as long as you have enough time, you will definitely break through the Xiantian realm and become a real expert. There is no need to argue with such a person!"

is it?

But Baicaotang seemed to have difficulty surviving this disaster. If Baicaotang did not deliver the things in three days, it would probably become a ghost under Li Chufeng's knife.

Kill the chicken and the monkey!

Maybe Baicaotang is that chicken!

Could it be that Baicaotang had other means? A power that had been passed down for nearly a thousand years might still have some hidden means.

"Clap!"

Qin Liangzhu patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Don't let your imagination run wild. You are still young and your cultivation is making rapid progress. Leave this matter to us. You just need to watch from the side. It can be regarded as a kind of experience."

"go!"

"Let's go to the government office!"

After he finished speaking, Qin Liangzhu took the letter from his hand, took two steps forward, and suddenly stopped. Then he whispered:

"If Li Chufeng really comes to kill you, just run, the farther the better, and don't take any chances."

"Commander Qin, are you going to run away or not?" Huang Feng asked seriously.

Hearing this, Qin Liangzhu smiled bitterly and replied frankly: "As for me, I am different from you. I am old and my potential is almost exhausted. Besides, my wife, children and elders are all here. I can't run away with so many people."

"However, if it were more than 20 years ago, I would have run away alone, the farther the better."
