Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

"Zheng Qian, since you're here, leave your life behind."

A middle-aged man with a large, oily belly stood upstairs, dressed in luxurious silk, with a protruding chin that revealed his prominent upper front teeth.

Zhang Xinghai, President of the Lvchang County Branch of Jinmao Chamber of Commerce.

Upon seeing this man, Zheng Qian knew in his heart that things were going to be bad; it seemed that a fierce battle was inevitable today.

"Boss, we are complete strangers and have no grudge against each other. Why do you want to take my life?"

Zheng Qian pretended to be stupid. He had no connection with Zhang Xinghai, so pretending not to know him was the best way. It was best to avoid a fight if possible, since they were on someone else's turf.

Hey buddy, I'm leaving in a bit, so don't mess around.

"We are complete strangers, with no grudges or enemies?"

Zhang Xinghai's fat face contorted, and his teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.

"Zheng Qian, I've already hidden in the stables, but you're still chasing after me, pretending you have no grudge against me. Is it so hard to let me go?"

"Boss, is it really necessary to talk to me like that just because I'm buying a horse? I don't even know you, why would I be chasing you?"

It's so frustrating. I've never even met you, yet you've framed me.

You fat pig, are you insane?

Poof.

He slammed his fat hand heavily on the crossbeam, making the house shake, and said viciously.

"I am Zhang Xing..."

"stop."

Zheng Qian shouted to stop, "Don't tell us your name! We still have room to maneuver. If we know your name, things will really fall apart!"

"Boss, I've never heard of you, I don't know you, and I've never seen you before. I'm not buying the horse anymore. I never want to see you again, not even in death. I'm leaving Lvchang County today. You go your way, and I'll go mine."

"Haha, hahaha."

The fat man laughed; Zheng Qian was admitting defeat and was scared.

Awesome, so awesome.

“Zheng Qian, don’t think I don’t know your purpose. You were sent by Qin Yong to search me, weren’t you? You knew I was Zhang Xinghai all along, didn’t you? You would buy a mule for sixty taels a day? That’s hilarious. I knew you were here to search me the moment you came in. You’re really ruthless. The Biqiang Sect has fallen into your hands, and you still want to arrest me, Zhang Xinghai.”

Oh no, that bastard revealed his name.

But Zheng Qian really didn't know how he had offended Zhang Xinghai.

With his hands clasped in a fist salute, Zheng Qian said helplessly, "So it's Chairman Zhang. We have no grudges against each other. Why would I search you? Open the door and let me leave. This head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) didn't see or hear anything."

Zheng Qian really didn't want to fight. What's wrong with giving in a little?

Didn't you see the row of archers on the second floor?

Including those on the ground and those hiding in the building, the other side has at least a hundred people. If they don't back down, they might lose their lives here.

"Keep acting, keep acting."

Zhang Xinghai had a very long chin, and his hands left ten finger marks on the wooden railing.

"You and Qin Yong plotted to kill Li Weihu, causing me to lose 900,000 taels of silver. I, Zhang Xinghai, was no match for you, and I accept that. I also accept being scolded and having my pay docked by the higher-ups. Doing business is all about scheming and making and losing. I fell into your trap because I, Zhang Xinghai, was simply outmatched. I, Zhang Xinghai, accept my defeat wholeheartedly."

You killed members of the Biqiang Sect and severed the armed forces of my Jinmao Chamber of Commerce. I, Zhang Xinghai, didn't say a word. After all, you and the Biqiang Sect do have a grudge. I, Zhang Xinghai, endured it with tears in my eyes.

Yesterday, Qin Yong went to see you, and you two discussed it until night. You actually launched a surprise attack on my Jinmao Chamber of Commerce, killing more than two hundred of my brothers, and the fate of more than one hundred others is unknown. Even if it was your idea, Zheng Qian, to launch the surprise attack on my Jinmao Chamber of Commerce, I, Zhang Xinghai, swallowed my anger and endured it. Because you didn't take action last night, I didn't think about seeking revenge against you.

And what happened? I've already hidden in the stable, and you still won't let me go, coming to grab me with three swords on your back.

"Zheng Qian, please call you 'Father,' okay? Please, just let me go."

In the end, Zhang Xinghai's anger turned into pleading; he was truly feeling incredibly aggrieved.

How could such a large chamber of commerce, plus five or six hundred people from the Jade Spear Sect, be completely destroyed by Zheng Qian?

Zheng Qian understood completely.

When he defeated Li Weihu, the Jinmao Chamber of Commerce and Bai Shao wanted to swallow his bet of three thousand taels of silver, and there were still more than seven thousand taels left. However, Qin Yong said that Zheng Qian was his brother, and the Jinmao Chamber of Commerce obediently paid up the money.

Later, the Biqiangmen tried to kill him, but he killed them instead, effectively eliminating the only martial arts ally of the Jinmao Chamber of Commerce in Lvchang County, leaving him isolated and helpless.

After receiving the news of the killing of Hua Yixuan and Hua Feng yesterday, Qin Yong went to the scene to investigate. His visit to Zheng Le Escort Agency to chat with Zheng Qian was a smokescreen. After all, during this tense period, his every word and action was being monitored by the Jinmao Chamber of Commerce. Unexpectedly, he organized the Changwu Army and wiped out the Jinmao Chamber of Commerce that very night.

After escaping, Zhang Xinghai hid in Cao Bang, a place filled with the stench of horse manure, which he currently considered the safest place.

To prevent people from giving themselves away by buying horses, he raised the price of the horses several dozen times. He waited for wealthy and powerful people to come and negotiate the price, then mingled with their group to leave the city. After all, he had a solid network of connections in the business community of Lvchang County over the years.

It's normal for horse sellers to profit from war, right? It's normal for me to raise prices when there's a shortage of horses, right? If you, Qin Yong, come to search, I can just hide, can't that solve the problem?

As it turned out, Zheng Qian arrived carrying weapons. He actually spent 240 taels of silver to buy four mules, which normally cost less than four taels of silver.

Zhang Xinghai couldn't stand it anymore; in his eyes, Zheng Qian's acting was terrible.

I believe you're serious about buying one horse, so I, Zhang Xinghai, will hold back. Buying two horses is also normal, since Zheng Le Escort Agency has two people. Buying three horses is also understandable, since you still need to haul goods.

But you actually bought four horses! What does four mean? It means death.

You still say there are people outside? Does that mean that you taking four horses out is a signal to launch an attack and kill us?

I can't stand it, I can't stand it at all.

Extending his large, fat hand to stop Zheng Qian from explaining, Zhang Xinghai said menacingly.

"Zheng Qian, you are really too ruthless and arrogant. You actually dared to come and arrest me all by yourself. Do you really think I, Zhang Xinghai, am someone to be trifled with?"

Shrug, Zheng Qian was speechless. "Chairman Zhang, all your reasoning is just wishful thinking. I never intended to harm you or treat you as an enemy."

Zhang Xinghai's eyes were bloodshot. He was furious. Zheng Qian actually looked down on him, saying that he was fantasizing and that he was not worthy to be an enemy.

He roared, "This is outrageous! One team, block the door and stop his reinforcements from coming in. The second team, prepare the guard equipment. Brothers of Cao Gang, charge! Kill him!"

"kill."

At Zhang Xinghai's shout, the archers on the second floor were the first to launch an attack.

Whoosh...

Dozens of arrows flew out, but Zheng Qianqiang drew his twin swords with a clang and blocked them all.

The arrows shot by a group of ordinary people posed no threat to him.

"Kill."

The men surrounding him launched an attack simultaneously, each time targeting his vital points, clearly intent on killing him. Zheng Qian easily dodged them all, occasionally kicking one or two people over, showing mercy with every move.

Zheng Qian had no interest in fighting these rookies, nor did he want to kill them. He just wanted to buy a horse and leave, he said loudly.

"Chairman Zhang, I don't want to fight you. If you keep pushing me, I won't be polite."

Zhang Xinghai pulled out his Iron Fist Gloves, put them on, and jumped from the second floor.

thump.

A crater was stomped into the ground, and he said with a gloomy face, "Zheng Qian, no matter what you say, you're going to die today."

Swish.

He sheathed both swords and drew his heavy sword with a clang, his eyes cold.

"You're asking for trouble. Since you want to die, I, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), will grant your wish."
