Everyone waiting in line to enter the city was stunned: "Fish! They have fish!"
"There are so many fish. They look quite fresh. They must have been processed recently, right?"
"Yesterday, the leader of the Black Wind Village announced that he would pay ten silver coins to anyone who had fish."
"I have a co-worker who still has some salted fish from the New Year at home, and he bought it for three silver coins."
Chu Mu listened to their conversation silently and raised his eyebrows arrogantly:
"You're a bunch of ignorant people. How long has it been since you last had a bite of fish? Er Gou Dan, take the fish to the gatekeeper."
The young man took Chu Mu's words as an imperial decree, dragged the long string of fish, and walked straight to the busiest city gate in full view of everyone.
"My young master is going into the city. Is this enough fish for you?"
The young man Fan Ji didn't say much. It had been more than ten years since he last came to Taiping Town.
He didn't know if anyone in the city could recognize him, but he understood the principle that too much talk leads to mistakes.
"So many fish? Give them all to us?" The city guards who were ferocious just a moment ago, dragging orphans and widows to the city to rent a child, were all dumbfounded.
"Well," Er Gou Dan looked at the back of the line, "my young master is still waiting in line. Can you open the door and let him into the city first?"
Several guys looked at each other and said, "Okay, okay, little brother, go and invite the young master over."
Besides Pingniang, the guy with buck teeth also came with Chu Mu.
The gatekeeper recognized the bucktoothed man, and a glint of understanding flashed across his raised triangular eyes: "Old Tu, have you found a distinguished guest?"
Bucktooth smiled and said, "Thanks to my brother, thanks to my brother."
The gatekeeper made way for them, and after Chu Mu and the others had passed, he leaned over to Bucktooth's ear and whispered, "Now that you've made a fortune, don't forget us brothers."
Bucktooth replied softly, "That's inevitable."
They all showed greedy and cunning smiles at the same time, thinking that Chu Mu, the big fat sheep, knew nothing.
However, Chu Mu had already heard all their whispered conversations.
"Even the guards at the city gates are greedy. It seems that Taiping Town is rotten from top to bottom."
Er Goudan followed closely beside him, and when he saw that the bucktoothed man hadn't come over yet, he quickly added:
"Taiping Town is the Fan family's home base. The Fan family is full of ruthless people. How can we expect them to show any kindness?"
Chu Mu looked at him with a half-smile: "Then are you considered a ruthless person?"
Er Gou Dan shook his head firmly: "Once I take down the Fan family, I will definitely bring true peace to Taiping Town."
"Good, great ambition." Chu Mu patted his shoulder, "Keep working hard and learn everything I teach you. You can kill all those rubbish from the Fan family with just a snap of your fingers."
Chu Mu's tone was indifferent, even a little joking, as if there was nothing strange about killing someone.
He opened his bright black eyes and looked intently at the young boy Fan Ji: "When you have learned it, it will be your turn to protect me."
The young man's clear eyes suddenly became deep. He nodded with all his strength and replied emphatically, "Yes!"
…
In front of the magnificent main hall, the huge water mirror was like an IMAX screen, and every subtle expression of Chu Mu was completely recorded.
Of course, this also includes Ergoudan’s.
"Haha," the third eye on the God of Prescience's forehead blinked slowly, "Isn't our little Si Zheng the God of Judgment? Why do I feel like he understands temptation even better than Mi Tuer?"
The pink-dressed goddess beside her half-exposed breasts caressed her cheek with her fingertips and said coquettishly:
"Hey, Brother Shenjian, please don't look down on me. I'm not as good as Chu Mu. I'm pure and lustful~"
The Charming God's words were clearly filled with hostility, a compliment that was meant to be a subtle criticism, but Qi Meng didn't seem to notice at all and nodded seriously.
"You're right, Chu Mu is pure and lustful, very attractive."
Charming God: …
"Haha," the God of Prescience laughed twice like a good old man, "Hey, are you so confident that Chu Mu will stay alone in the ant pile? I think this abandoned grandson of the Fan family seems to be a good person."
"Just an ant," Chu Meng's expression was full of disdain. "I am a true god, why would I care about a stink bug that can be killed with a pinch? Chu Mu is young, so it's normal for him to be a little playful."
Seeing that his provocation failed, the God of Foresight said no more, swept his sleeves and left the temple.
The other old gods also left one after another, and finally only Qi Meng was left.
"Chu Mu..." The red-haired killer reached out and touched Chu Mu in the water mirror, "Don't forget what you promised me."
…
The overall layout of Taiping Town is a big bagua, and most of the buildings in the town look the same and have no special features.
Only the Fan Family Building, located at the intersection of the Yin and Yang lines, is particularly majestic.
Bucktooth led Chu Mu and the other two in many twists and turns, and deliberately led them into a narrow, dark alley.
When Bucktooth saw Chu Mu enter the alley, the malice on his face was no longer hidden: "This entire fly alley is ours. Sir, if you know what's good for you, we can sit down and have a good talk."
Several men walked out from both sides of the alley, and they didn't look like serious people.
Chu Mu pretended not to notice the knives on their waists and said indifferently, "What if I don't know what's good for me?"
"Humph!" Bucktooth sneered, "Then don't blame us for being rude!"
He raised his hand and waved, and the group of strong men approached.
Chu Mu saw that they were familiar with each other and knew that this group of people was not the first time to commit such murder and robbery.
This way he wouldn't have to show mercy.
"Gou Dandan, your master is here to check your lessons." Chu Mu stepped aside and pushed the young man out. "Take care of them."
Er Goudan was not afraid of the many men who surrounded him, and put the fire control he had practiced all night into a real-life exercise.
These bandits didn't know any martial arts techniques, and relied solely on brute force and underhanded tactics.
There is no chance of winning against a young man with good martial arts skills, not to mention that Er Gou Dan can spit fire.
In a short while, the group of people were beaten to a pulp and knelt down begging for mercy with their hair burnt.
Chu Mu glanced at them and said, "Lead the way to your nest."
He had made plans long ago. He didn't have a penny on him, and Pingniang didn't look like she had any money, let alone Ergoudan.
If you want to walk in this world, you can't take a single step without money.
Where does this money come from?
Of course, it is the most worry-free if it is delivered to your door.
The men did not dare to disobey and led the way in front with a listless look.
As Chu Mu took a step, the young boy next to him pulled his sleeve.
"Hmm?" Chu Mu lowered his head slightly. Fan Ji, who was only fifteen years old, was just as tall as his shoulders.
The young man's eyes lit up slightly, but he didn't say anything.
But the desire for praise on his face was so obvious that it was difficult to pretend not to see it.
Chu Mu reached out and rubbed his head: "Well done."
Chu Mu's attitude was perfunctory, but the young man Fan Ji's eyes were instantly ignited with fire.
So bright that it burns people.
Chu Mu's heart softened, and he rubbed his head again: "I'll give you a snack tonight, let's eat meat!"
