Chapter 36: Great power

Among the northwest countries, among the small countries close to the west, basically some areas are passed by the Mianshan Mountains that run across the northwest. However, except for those areas, the entire terrain close to the north is mostly flat grasslands.

Tianluo State is also such a country. Taicang County and Taia County both belong to Linlang County. However, unlike Taicang County, there are not many mountains in Taia County, but mostly flat land.

This is also the junction of the Tianluo Kingdom and the Kairong Kingdom.

Kairong Kingdom is one of the three powerful countries in the entire northwest country. Its strength is far beyond the reach of Tianluo Kingdom.

When the horse thieves in Taia County robbed, they often avoided the caravans from Kairong Kingdom. In this way, the army of Kairong Kingdom turned a blind eye to the behavior of these horse thieves, and did not make great efforts to wipe them out.

However, for the Tianluo Kingdom, these horse thieves are undoubtedly a huge cancer. Unfortunately, no matter how they encircle and suppress, without the cooperation of the Kairong Kingdom's army, they are always unable to remove the entire cancer.

The horse thieves in Taia County do not have a fixed territory, but this is why they can maintain sufficient mobility and not be caught in one go.

Looking at the entire Tai'a County, because it is located on the border and there are many horse thieves, the martial arts trend is much higher than the other counties. Among them, there are as many as five of the ten-story internal strength masters among the horse thieves.

The Red Turban Thieves are one of the top organizations among the many horse thieves in Tai'a County.

In this large organization, there are two masters who have reached the tenth level of internal strength, which is simply unimaginable for ordinary horse thieves.

The ten-level internal strength masters, no matter where they come, are the targets that major families can win over. Even if they don’t want to be inferior to others, they can start a sect and establish their own family.

Although not every ten-story master can create a thousand-year-old family business, the first generation of family heads generally are basically masters of the ten-story masters of the ten-story masters of the big families with a thousand-year heritage.

At this moment, the two leaders of the Red Trouble were leading many horse thieves to loot a village and come to a flat place to organize and rest.

The master Guan Qing and the second master Guo Shaofeng are both middle-aged men with tough figures. They have the same characteristics, that is, their eyes are cold, and no matter who they look at each other, they seem to be able to see through each other at a glance.

Among the Red Troops, there are many people and heavens who are not afraid of the earth. Every time they charge in battle, they will take the lead without hesitation. But if they are with the two leaders and glar at them, they will immediately turn from tigers to rats and never dare to disobey them at all.

This is the courage of the two masters. If it weren't for this, they wouldn't be able to control the Red Treasure Stealing.

In the huge tent, these two leaders are enjoying fine wine and food and discussing future actions.

For each village in Taia County, as long as they pay the cap tax according to the standards every month, they will not be too embarrassed. After all, in order to survive here for a long time, in addition to relying on robbing past business travel, filial piety in these villages is also essential.

If there is not even a village in Tai'a County, then these horse thieves will not want to survive in this leisurely way.

Suddenly, the curtain of the tent was lifted open.

A thin man walked in, saluted respectfully to the two masters, and said, "Big Master, Second Master, I'm back."

Guan Qing nodded slightly and said, "How is the matter done?"

"The boss, Langya and Liehu, both agreed to our request and were willing to go to Taicang County with us to kill the Cheng family and avenge Captain Guan. However, the boss of Lan Hai insisted on rebelling, saying that this matter had nothing to do with them, and there was no need to work hard for our Red Treasures, so he was unwilling to go together."

Guan Qing's face suddenly became gloomy. He snorted coldly and said, "Have you told them that we will not take any money for the gains this time, and leave them all for use."

The man lowered his head and said, "I have already said it, but the second leader of Hai Hui and Qiao ordered his subordinates to tell you, she said..."

Seeing this person hesitating, Guan Qing said unhappily: "What did this girl Hai Huiqiao say?"

The man bit his teeth and said, "She said that Guan Wei was greedy for other people's wealth and broke the rules in Taicang County, so he destroyed himself. If our families joined forces, even if the Cheng family destroyed it, it would make the Linlang Lin family angry. At that time, the full revenge of the Lin family would definitely bring us great trouble, so please do not be impulsive, it is best to think twice..."

He spoke slowly the more he said, and when he saw Guan Qing's gradually gloomy face that could drip out of water, he finally closed his mouth with tactful tact.

Guo Shaofeng's face changed slightly and he said, "Senior Brother, since Hai Huiqiao's stinky girl is ignorant, we don't need to pay attention to them. This time, since Langya and Liehu can be invited to participate, even if the three major families in Taicang County are combined, we can destroy them all."

Although Guan Qing's face was extremely ugly, he did not lose his mind.

"Junior brother, don't underestimate the three major families in Taicang County." He snorted coldly and said, "Although there are only two tenth-level internal strength masters in Taicang County. But as far as I know, there are at least five more than five nine-level masters. Besides the He family, the Xu and Cheng families are all families with more than a hundred years of inheritance. Although it is not easy to appear on top of the nine-level masters, there are definitely many seventh- and eighth-level masters." He laughed a few times, his eyes were extremely sinister, and said, "If we really fight with them, even if our four families join forces to win in the end, at least it will be a serious injury to our vitality."

Guo Shaofeng's mouth squirmed slightly, and finally said, "Senior Brother, are you afraid that Lan Hai and the others will take advantage of the situation to rob?"

Guan Qing nodded slightly and said, "Yes, although Lan Hanyang is the tenth level of internal strength like us, everyone knows that his cultivation is indeed the deepest among us. Moreover, Hai Huiqiao is not only resourceful, but also has reached the peak of the ninth level. The two of them joined forces, and even if our brothers are fairly opposed to him, it will be difficult to win." He sighed and said, "It is really hard to reassure that such a force is placed behind us."

Guo Shaofeng blinked twice. Although his personal strength was extremely strong, he was far inferior to his senior brother in terms of intelligence, so he willingly surrendered to Guan Qing. Otherwise, with his strength, he would have been able to leave the Red Treasure and set up his own business.

"Senior brother, since this is the case, what should we do? Do we still need to avenge Guan Wei?" Guo Shaofeng had no idea, and immediately stopped thinking about it and asked directly.

A sharp chill flashed in Guan Qing's eyes and said, "This revenge must be avenged, but what Hai Huiqiao said makes sense, and you must think twice."

The Red Turban thief was able to roam Tai'a County for decades without extinction, but it was not just about force.

Just as they were talking, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and then someone rushed in like wind and fire.

If He Yiming and others met, they would definitely recognize that this person was the man who met them at the border of Jinlin Kingdom and finally jumped into the water to escape.

At this moment, he was embarrassed, his hair was curled, he looked messy, and his face looked even more ugly, as if he would fall down at any time.

Seeing his appearance, Guan Qing and the others were naturally surprised. Especially Guan Qing, he naturally knew where these people were going. His eyes turned and asked sternly: "What happened? Leader Liao."

The man's voice was filled with a hint of crying, and he said, "The boss, leader Liao is dead."

The muscles on Guan Qing's face twitched twice, but his voice calmed down and said, "What happened? Tell me in detail."

The man responded and was about to rush to the road. He also told him about what happened to He Yiming and others, which specifically mentioned the good horse of the BMW under He Yiming's seat. If it weren't for this BMW, they would not have ended up like this.

After hearing this, Guan Qing had a dark face and said, "There are only four people, so I will destroy you all?"

"The boss, in fact, only two of them took action." The man said in shame: "But those two are very powerful, and even the boss Liao was plotted against."

The Liao family was killed by a long strip of cloth. This incident was too incredible. Even if they saw it with their own eyes, it would be difficult to tell the reason. They had to say that the Liao family was conspired in advance, so they died so unknown.

Guo Shaofeng raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know who those four are?"

The man lowered his eyebrows and said with a pleasing look: "The villain jumped into the river, saved his life and immediately followed him up. Later, when they were investigating the store, they checked the horses they rode. Except for the horse, the other horses were marked with the marks of the Taicang He family."

"Taicang He family..." Guan Qing finally couldn't help but burst out. He suddenly stood up, and the wind that was brought up actually blew the fire in the tent to extinguish.

"Taicang, it's Taicang again." Guan Qing angrily crossed the tent. After a while, he finally made a decision and said, "Come on, prepare a horse for me, I want to go to Liehu and Langya in person."

Guo Shaofeng was stunned and said, "Senior Brother, what do you mean?"

"We founded the Red Turban Thieves and were rampant in Taia County for a full twenty years. Now my brother died in Taicang, and Liao Laosi also died in Taicang. If we continue to endure, the Red Turban Thieves' reputation will surely plummet, and we will let us go out to meet people." Guan Qing gritted his teeth and said, "I want to invite Xu Hanbai from Liehu and Zhong Wei from Langya to go to the Blue Sea together. If the couple are willing to join us, that's fine. If they still refuse, hehe, let's cook them first."

Guo Shaofeng nodded heavily and said, "Okay, since my senior brother has decided, I will definitely go with you."

His eyes were faintly glowing, and he seemed to have infinite expectations for the upcoming battle.

A pair of not-so-large hands gently stroked the stone bed, as if stroking the most beloved woman, which made people feel extremely strange.

After a while, He Yiming sighed in disappointment and stood up.

"Sixth brother, what do you want to do?" He Yi finally couldn't bear it and asked.

He Yiming smiled and said, "Brother, I'm looking for some materials."

He Yi said strangely: "What materials are you looking for? Are these stones?"

"That's right, I need some Minli stones." He Yiming said without hesitation.

"What do you want Wenlishi to do?" He Quanxin finally asked.

Since He Yiming came back, he has come to He Quanxin and Yuan Chengzhi who has been with him.

He Yiming's request was very strange. He hoped to choose a satisfactory bed in Yuan's mansion.

At this moment, He Yiming's position in the family was even more important than He Quanxin. Although He Quanxin and others did not know that he had reached the innate realm, the sixteen-year-old ten-level internal strength master was enough to show them He Yiming's powerful potential in the future.

Although Yuan Chengzhi, who was walking along the way, could not understand He Yiming's background, he understood some problems from the strange attitude of He Quanxin and his son towards He Yiming.

So when He Yiming made this strange request, he immediately agreed without hesitation and accompanied him to all the bedrooms in his home, allowing him to choose his favorite bed.

If He Yitian made this request, He Quanxin would definitely refuse immediately and scold him. But after He Yiming, He Quanxin chose to be a dull gourd.

After entering the ten bedrooms, everyone knew it.

What He Yiming needed was not an ordinary bed. If it was a wooden and iron bed, he glanced at it and left immediately. If it was a stone bed, he would observe it carefully, but in the end he was disappointed.

It was not until this moment that He Yi's inquiry that he expressed his true purpose.

Yuan Chengzhi smiled bitterly, with a little complaining in his heart, but his face was full of smiles and said, "Nephew Yiming, if you want Wenlishi's bed, then you'll say it earlier. But this kind of bed..."

He Yiming frowned slightly and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Yuan Chengzhi smiled bitterly and said, "The beds made of this kind of stone are relatively rough, and they have always been used for the lowest-class servants in the mansion to make a living."

Only then did He Yiming understand the whole story.

In the Tianluo Kingdom and the Huowu Kingdom, although Wenli Stone is not a high-end material, due to its characteristics, some Wenli Stone beds will be prepared in the wealthy house. Once it is cold in winter, sleeping on it will make you feel extremely warm.

However, the rich people in Jinlin Kingdom do not recognize this enjoyment.

In their eyes, Wenli stone seems to be a lowly material, so it is only for the servants to use.

In winter, in order to save firewood, let the lowest-class servant sleep on the bed of Wenlishi, which is undoubtedly the best choice.

These are different customs in different places. No matter how smart He Yiming is, he can't predict the future.

But since he found the place, He Yiming naturally would not be polite.

Under Yuan Chengzhi's leadership, they came to the place where the servants lived. When He Yiming saw the bunk bed, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This bunk bed was actually made of a whole piece of Wenli stone, with a width of two meters and a length of ten meters. It would be fine to squeeze twenty people on it.

"Uncle Yuan, you can just treat this kind of Wenli stone as a bed. Is it too wasteful?"

"Waste? That's impossible." Yuan Chengzhi smiled and said, "Yiming's nephew, you may not know that our Jin Lam-Cheng Tong County is one of the largest Wenli stones in the northwest. This giant Wenli stone may be rare in other places, but we can see it everywhere here and are not a precious thing."

He Yiming nodded suddenly and said, "Then Uncle Yuan, give me this stone bed."

"Okay, if you want it, take it." Yuan Chengzhi agreed readily, but then hesitated a little and said, "Nephew Yiming, this is the place where the servants live, and you are definitely not suitable for living here. But if you want to move this item to your room, this..."
