"Hahaha..." The wicked man let out a hearty laugh, clearly enjoying the compliments from his three devoted admirers.
"If we wait another two years, I'll probably be able to tear Xiang Yu apart with my bare hands, right?"
The wicked man had a sudden thought. Despite his current strength of nearly two thousand catties, he was still somewhat unsure of himself when facing the legendary Overlord.
That guy is terrifying!
A few days ago, Zizhen used the latest technology to forge him a halberd weighing 120 jin (approximately 60 kg), which is still more than 20 jin (approximately 10 kg) less than Xiang Yu's Overlord Halberd.
He was a time traveler with cheat codes, while Xiang Yu was a native 'local', so you can imagine how terrifying he was.
Most importantly!
The State of Chu will inevitably be destroyed by Qin in the future, and Xiang Yu will never be obedient. The two will inevitably clash in the future.
By the time Xiang Yu reached adulthood, he was almost forty years old. As the saying goes, youth has the upper hand, and who knows how terrifying Xiang Yu was at his physical peak?
It's still unknown whether his physical strength will decline as he gets older!
"Xiang Yu, oh Xiang Yu, I, the Grand Commandant, am eagerly anticipating the day when I will face you head-on. I want to see if you, the Overlord, are more powerful, or if I, the Wicked Husband, am stronger!" A fiery glint flashed across the Wicked Husband's face.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Han and the other two exchanged bewildered glances, filled with curiosity about Xiang Yu, whom the wicked man had mentioned. "Who is this person that the Grand Commandant would consider an opponent?"
As the confidants of the villain, they knew his strength best. If the Grand Commandant was so terrifying, then Xiang Yu, who was regarded as an opponent by the Grand Commandant, must also be no simple man.
"alright!"
The wicked man, regaining his senses, laughed and said, "Quickly go and call the craftsmen to come and carve it. The market will officially open in seven days!"
That's right, the purpose of this huge rock in front of us is to serve as the market's archway!
"good!"
Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, seven days have passed like flowing water.
Today is an auspicious day for the opening of the Kucha Market in the Qin State!
Before dawn, the soldiers, like industrious bees, transformed into cleaners, carefully inspecting and meticulously cleaning the brand-new, luxurious city.
Just so that we can open our doors in two hours and warmly welcome merchants from all directions!
The wicked husband got up early and, with the help of his maids, put on a jet-black robe with gold thread carvings, and tied a white jade belt around his waist, making him look like a jade dragon coiled around.
His long, glossy black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and his cold, disdainful eyes made him resemble an iceberg—domineering yet handsome, captivating all who beheld him.
Looking at the blurry reflection in the bronze mirror, the wicked man sighed, "What a pity, I can't appreciate my own handsomeness. I'll have to make a mirror out of it later."
He stepped out of the room, where Huan Yi, Zhang Han, and others, all dressed in black armor and carrying Qin swords, had been waiting for a long time.
"Gentlemen, let's go, I'll show you something today!" the wicked man laughed loudly.
Huan Yi and the others laughed and replied, "Let's go! We've been busy for the past six months, and this is the day we've been waiting for!"
They've been waiting for this day for so long!
The crowd filed through the streets and went straight up the city wall.
At this moment, the area outside the city was bustling with activity. Nobles and merchants of various ethnicities lined up in long queues, eagerly awaiting the moment they could enter the city.
This wicked husband was truly domineering to the extreme; he would open the door whenever he wanted, and would never make an exception for anyone.
Last night, many people arrived early, hoping to enter the city to rest, but they were all firmly blocked outside the city by Qin soldiers and prevented from entering to find out what was going on.
As a result, many self-important people kept clamoring, saying that they were distinguished guests who came to attend the opening of this market, and that the Qin state dared to be so negligent.
News of the disturbance reached the wicked husband's ears like a message carried by a bird, and he uttered only one word!
"kill!"
Upon receiving the message at the city gate, the Qin soldiers did not hesitate at all. They raised their swords and killed several of the loudest ones on the spot, and these people finally quieted down.
On the city wall, the evil man looked up at the sky, then roared, "I am the Qin State Grand Commandant, Efu. You have come from afar. I apologize for not greeting you properly."
"The distribution market is a project that our Qin state has painstakingly built. In order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, I, the Grand Commandant, would like to state a few rules here."
The rioting crowd immediately fell silent, each person staring expectantly at the wicked husband.
The wicked man's face was solemn. He pointed a finger and said in a deep voice, "All transactions within the city must be consensual and fair. No one may cause trouble or create chaos under any pretext. If anyone is cheated or swindled, it is due to their own stupidity, and the Qin state will not be held responsible."
"All those who enter Kucha for trade will be protected by the Qin state; however, those who commit theft, robbery, or other illegal acts will be executed without pardon."
And investigate the country to which they belong.
"Those who enter my market must strictly abide by its rules. If there is any dispute, please report it to the soldiers in the city for resolution. Private violence and disturbances are strictly prohibited. Violators will be executed on the spot and all their property will be confiscated!"
"The city has complete facilities. No matter where you come from or what your status is, as long as you spend money, you are a distinguished guest of the Qin Kingdom, and there will be no discrimination."
"Entry requires a ticket, which is purchased at the city gate. The ticket price differs between tourists and sellers. Selling within the city requires a transaction tax of 10% of the transaction amount, which is borne by the seller."
"Those who enter the city to sell their goods shall not be held accountable for their origin or reason!"
The wicked man looked down at the various tribes outside the city with a disdainful gaze, making their hearts sink. "Have you all heard what I, the Grand Commandant, have to say?"
"If anyone dares to offend, or repeatedly offends, don't blame the Qin warriors for trampling their capital with their iron hooves!"
The expressions of the outsiders present varied; some were fearful, while others were disdainful.
Although your Qin state is strong, some of the people present are also quite influential.
Moreover, foreign tribes are known for their fierce and unruly nature, lacking knowledge of etiquette and law, and are extremely arrogant. Naturally, they would be tempted to fight upon hearing the words of the wicked husband.
Seeing that no one spoke, the wicked man shouted loudly again, "Open the city gates! Open the market!"
"Business is open!"
"open...."
As shouts rang out, the heavy, golden city gate was slowly pushed open.
A troop of Qin soldiers marched out of the city and lined up neatly at the city gate. Wang Li strode over and shouted in a deep voice, "Line up in an orderly manner to enter the city. Buy your tickets first!"
No one wanted to argue with the Qin state over such a trivial matter, and everyone followed the rules and bought tickets to enter the city in an orderly manner.
Upon entering the city on the first day, these foreign tribes were all shocked by the sights within.
The houses are luxurious yet simple and elegant. The streets paved with stone bricks are so clean that there is not a single piece of debris. Countless beautiful young women stand on both sides of the street, smiling and welcoming people.
"Welcome, distinguished guests, to the city!"
"Next, we will show our VIPs around the city's facilities. Please follow us in groups of three!"
These women were all carefully selected by the wicked husband to serve as etiquette and guides. Their appearance and figures were impeccable, and each one of them was exceptionally beautiful!
