Chapter 1800 Zhou Changhe
“Hey, Brother Zheng, you are too polite. You and I are brothers, and your Zheng family’s business is my Zhou Changhe’s business. It is my duty to do so.”
Zhou Changhe As soon as Zheng Zhongyuan mentioned the precious herbal medicine Ten Thousand Years Hua Youcao, he immediately showed great interest, as if his previous indifference and disdain had disappeared.
"Then I'll rely on Brother Zhou." Zheng Zhongyuan replied. Although he felt contempt for Zhou Changhe's hypocrisy in his heart, he pretended to be very enthusiastic and grateful on the surface.
"You're welcome, without further ado, let's set off early. I want to see who is so bold as to kidnap our Zheng family." Zhou Changhe waved his hand, looking very bold and righteous.
Afterwards, they quickly organized a team and set off from Zheng's house straight to Taoyuan Village. The number of people in the team was large and the momentum was huge, like a grand parade. Among them were the Zheng family's cavalry and dozens of Dan Sect masters.
Although these masters of Danzong are all wearing long robes and look casual, far inferior to the well-trained cavalry next to them, their strength is that one can fight dozens of cavalry. .
At this time in Taoyuan Village, Liu Jun and the villagers did not seem to realize that the danger was approaching. They were still drinking and eating meat together as usual, talking and laughing loudly, as if everything was normal.
"Liu Xiaozi, I said you are not worried at all about the Zheng family asking for reinforcements to deal with you?" The old village chief asked Liu Jun curiously, holding a pot of wine.
“Don’t worry, I believe them.” Liu Jun replied with a smile, a firm light shining in his eyes.
He is not afraid that the Zheng family will come, but that the Zheng family will not come. If the Zheng family does not come, the next plan will be a little troublesome.
The Zheng family's army descended from the mountain like tigers, their speed was staggering. At dawn, before the barking of dogs in the village had stopped, the Zheng family's cavalry had already assembled at the entrance of Taoyuan Village.
Looking around, the neat silver-white armor shone coldly in the morning light, the flags rustled in the wind, and a strong momentum rushed straight into Taoyuan Village.
The villagers in Taoyuan Village were also awakened by the huge movement. They walked out of their homes one after another, holding hoes and shovels, and stared firmly at the Zheng family cavalry at the entrance of the village.
Although there was fear in their eyes, they had no intention of retreating. They were willing to fight to the death against the Zheng family's army in order to defend their homeland.
"These villagers are quite courageous." Zheng Zhongyuan looked at the villagers who dared to resist and couldn't help but praise.
Although he is the head of the Zheng family, he has climbed up from the bottom little by little. He knows how much courage it takes for ordinary people to dare to take up arms to resist those at the top.
"No matter how courageous the ants are, they are just ants and cannot make any waves." Zhou Changhe said disdainfully.
Zhou Changhe is different from Zheng Zhongyuan. He has stayed in Danzong for many years, and few people around him dare to offend Danzong. Even other big forces have to give more or less face, so he He doesn't know how to respect others. He only thinks that the villagers are insignificant ants and cannot pose any threat to him.
"Who is the village chief of Taoyuan Village?" Zheng Zhongyuan looked at the villagers of Taoyuan Village. He wanted to know who had the courage to lead the villagers to resist the Zheng family's cavalry.
The crowd parted, and a white-haired old man walked out with a cane. His eyes were firm and he looked at Zheng Zhongyuan without timidity. "I am the village chief of Taoyuan Village. What advice can you give me?"
Although the old village chief's voice is old, it reveals a firm and unyielding will.
Zheng Zhongyuan's attitude was much more modest, and he clearly expressed his intention: "Old village chief, I have three purposes for this trip."
"The first thing is that I hope to be able to We will fully compensate Taoyuan Village for the losses it has suffered because of us." Zheng Zhongyuan's eyes were sincere, showing that he attaches great importance to the consequences of this incident.
“Secondly, I ask you to release Huang Silang and my subordinate Deputy Commander Hafu. We are willing to pay a ransom for their release and hope to receive your understanding and forgiveness.”
Comparing the status of the old village chief to Zheng Zhongyuan is like comparing the status of the richest man in a village to the richest man in a province.
As the head of a large family, Zheng Zhongyuan’s ability to say this clearly shows that he has given the old village chief enough respect.
"Finally, I hope to have a chance to talk to that person." Zheng Zhongyuan's implication obviously refers to the unfathomable strong man behind the village chief. His purpose was not only to reconcile, but also to understand the strong man's intentions and position.
Although Zhou Changhe is on their side and there is strong support from Dan Zong behind him, Zheng Zhongyuan does not want to easily form a relationship with a strong man. He knew that it was better to resolve the issue peacefully than to fight with swords. This was the best option for both parties.
Before the old village chief could answer, Zhou Changhe on the side became impatient, with a bit of ridicule and disdain in his voice: "Brother Zheng, why are you so cautious? Just get rid of all these people. ”
There was a ruthless aura in Zhou Changhe's words, which made people shudder.
"Oh, Brother Zhou, it is not good to kill too much. Can we solve it peacefully?" Zheng Zhongyuan certainly didn't want to massacre the village. The key was that he didn't want to anger the strong man.
"What's the matter? I once passed by a village, and the children there threw a stone at me, and I slaughtered the whole village." Zhou Changhe's tone was full of pride, as if he was telling the story of what he had caused. A proud deed. However, as soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice came from not far away: "Then you really deserve to die." That was Liu Jun's voice, his tone was cold and full of murderous intent.
Zhou Changhe raised his hand, and a ray of cold light flew in the direction of the sound, like a runaway wild horse, flying through the air. The cold light drew a beautiful arc in the air, carrying a strong murderous aura, and headed straight to the place where the sound had just been made.
However, Liu Jun was obviously no ordinary person. A faster ray of light shot out instantly and collided with Zhou Changhe's cold light in the air, making a loud noise. The cold light was quickly repulsed and flew back at an even faster speed, so fast that it was dizzying. Zhou Changhe had quick eyes and quick hands, and he avoided it in an instant, but the cold light still left a shallow wound on his shoulder. Although it was not serious, it was still injured, and blood immediately poured out.
Zhou Changhe jumped off his horse and looked in Liu Jun's direction coldly, with fighting intent flashing in his eyes.
He was a little surprised. The injury just now did not mean that he was not strong enough, but that he was careless. He did not expect that there were masters here, and he underestimated the other party.
“That’s right, I didn’t expect there to be experts here, so it’s not a waste of time for me to come here,” Zhou Changhe said coldly.
At this time, Liu Jun walked out of the crowd, with a sneer on his lips, and said sarcastically: "Stop nagging, hurry up and fight, you turtle grandson."
The words were full of provocation, obviously trying to anger Zhou Changhe and make him lose his cool in anger, thus exposing his flaws.
However, Zhou Changhe was not someone who was easily angered. He looked at Liu Jun coldly, with a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"What are you looking at your grandpa for? Do you want to fight? If not, get out of here," Liu Jun scolded angrily.
"You are looking for death." Zhou Changhe had never been insulted like this before. Although he knew that the other party had bad intentions, he still couldn't help it and struck out in anger. His figure was like a bolt of lightning, heading straight towards Liu Jun.
Zhou Changhe's movements were fast and violent, with a strong murderous intent, like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable.
"Old village chief, take the villagers and stay away, don't accidentally hurt you," Liu Jun reminded.
As soon as he finished speaking, he discovered that the villagers were already standing a few hundred meters away. At that speed, even Liu Jun could not match them.
"Good guys, are they all hidden masters?" Liu Jun's mouth twitched.
Before he had time to sigh, Zhou Changhe's long knife had already struck at him. The force of the knife was as sharp as a ferocious beast, unstoppable.
According to common sense, Liu Jun faced such a fierce sword with his bare hands and should avoid its sharp edge.
However, Liu Jun did not choose to escape. A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, as if he had already made a decision.
Everyone's nerves could not help but tighten, as if they had seen the tragic scene of Liu Jun becoming a dead soul under the knife.
Almost at the moment when Zhou Changhe's sword came, Liu Jun rushed forward, like a cheetah, swift and precise. His hands were stretched out, palms facing forward, as if to resist the force.
The surrounding villagers were stunned by this scene, their eyes flashed with fear and surprise, and they could not understand Liu Jun's behavior. He could obviously choose to dodge, but chose to face this fatal blow head-on.
The sword flashed, and the cold light pierced the sky. At that moment, the tense atmosphere almost made everyone hold their breath. The sword was approaching with great force, as if it was the final verdict of fate. However, at this critical moment, Liu Jun stretched out his hands at an extraordinary speed, tightly grasped the long knife in Zhou Changhe's hand, splashing sparks, and the knife seemed to be struck by He was bound by magic and couldn't move.
Zhou Changhe had a look of astonishment on his face, his eyes filled with disbelief. As an elder of the Dan Sect, although the long knife in his hand is not a top-grade artifact, it is also an unrivaledly sharp top-grade weapon. However, now, he was caught by someone with his bare hands! On his face, anger and confusion intertwined, forming a strange picture.
The corner of Liu Jun's mouth evoked a smile at this moment. That smile seemed to say: "Look, I'm telling you that you are bad."
This smile , full of provocation and full of confidence. The reason Liu Jun was able to catch the knife was not only because of his speed, but also because of the dragon scales on his body.
The dragon scales were densely covered on his hands and body, like a layer of solid protective armor. It was this layer of dragon scales that gave him enough courage and confidence to face Zhou Changhe's sword.
Zhou Changhe’s roar echoed in the air: “Get out of here!”
After pulling hard twice, Zhou Changhe found that the knife still didn't move at all. His face became even angrier, and his eyes flashed with ferocity.
This scene shocked everyone. It was as if a bolt of lightning flashed across their minds, shattering their perceptions. They couldn't understand or accept it. They knew Liu Jun was very strong, but they didn't expect him to be so strong, taking the sword with his bare hands! It takes a lot of confidence in one's own strength to dare to do this.
However, the facts are right in front of you. The knife is caught in Liu Jun's hand, and the smile is on Liu Jun's face. At this moment, they truly realized that this young man might not be as simple as they thought, and was even more tyrannical than they thought.
