Chapter 136 The King of Joy
"Master Tiger, please wait, I will serve you right away." Although the stall owner Lao Liu is over 30 years old, he does not feel awkward at all calling a young boy "Master".
For those in this industry, if they want to survive in troubled times and make money, do they rely on dignity? Dignity is nothing, it's worthless.
Old Liu responded with a call of Zhao Hu, and calmly prepared noodles for a customer, then tidied up the pile of miscellaneous items in the stall.
There was a jar of fine wine inside. When the seal was opened, the aroma of the wine hit Zhao Hu in the face, and he was so greedy that his mouth was watering.
Old Liu brought out the wine he had stored for twenty years, hoping to sell it for a good price. Today he gave it to the escort Zhao Hu to spread the word that Zhao Hu loved his wine.
Then there is no need to worry about the price. Several restaurants nearby will send their waiters to buy wine. Old Liu is not stupid.
Spring has not yet arrived and the weather should be gradually getting warmer, but a late spring cold snap has come and heavy snow has covered the world again.
The elderly people who understand the weather and seasons all lamented that if this heavy snow had fallen later, it would have delayed spring planting.
It's just right at this time. It can freeze all the pests to death without delaying the farming season. Who wouldn't say that auspicious snow means a good harvest?
Of course, due to the heavy snow, there were not many pedestrians on the streets in the morning.
Zhao Hu walked a short distance with the wine jug in his hand when he heard the wonderful sound of a conch shell coming from a distant street corner, mixed with the sounds of various musical instruments from time to time, including flutes, horns, and pipa.
Anyway, these were just Zhao Hu's random guesses. Apart from the low roar of the horn, he knew nothing else.
Zhao Hu just wondered if there was something exciting going on over there, or if someone was holding a ceremony, and why didn't they report it to the escort agency?
You are so brave! Even though you made a big scene, can you still beat us in Yichang?
Such a grand scene and the sounds of various musical instruments were naturally not heard by Zhao Hu alone. People from the houses on both sides of the street also poked their heads out to see what was going on.
Old Liu's daughter-in-law was no exception. She walked out of the bungalow behind the noodle stall holding her newborn baby, came to Old Liu and asked what had happened.
She was just holding her son and weaving diligently to supplement the family income, when she heard a strange sound and came out involuntarily.
At the end of the street, the source of the sound revealed itself. A group of people were carrying a sedan chair carried by eight people and walking towards this side.
This group of people were dressed in gorgeous clothes and had fanatical expressions. They all wore leather boots made of high-quality animal fur, but they walked on the almost frozen ground as if it were flat ground. Even when they were carrying a sedan chair, it did not shake at all, making the people sitting in the sedan chair feel as stable as a mountain.
"King of Joy, whose martial arts are unrivaled, believe in me and you will enjoy eternal life!" This kind of cry was faintly heard, and these people kept chanting it, and their voices even drowned out the sounds of the musical instruments.
When Zhao Hu heard this shout, he didn't think anything of it. He just thought that the King of Joy was being too grand and wondered if he should go up and give him a warning.
Besides, how could the escort agency allow such a person to parade around? Where is the reputation of our Yichang Escort Agency?
"Big Brother, what are you doing? Why don't you bring people to stop it? Instead, you want me to report it to the head escort?" Zhao Hu thought to himself, but he still didn't forget to pick on Big Brother. Who told him to steal the sister he liked?
Zhao Hu didn't know who King Huanxi was, but other warriors passing by knew him. One warrior who was passing by Yichang County to rest suddenly changed his face.
"Why did King Huanxi travel here? It's all over. Yichang is finished. We can't escape death." The warrior's eyes were dull and he kept muttering to himself.
"What did you say? Yichang is finished. Who is this King of Joy?" Upon hearing that Yichang was finished, Zhao Hu suddenly became anxious. He stepped forward, grabbed the warrior's collar, and asked loudly.
With Zhao Hu's shaking and loud questioning, the warrior finally came back to his senses, took a look at Zhao Hu's escort agency decoration, and smiled bitterly.
"Haha, you Yichang Escort Agency have been living in peace for too long, you deserve to be wiped out. I didn't expect that even the infamous King Huanxi didn't know about it. Let go and listen carefully." The warrior snorted coldly and shook off Zhao Hu's hand that was grabbing his collar.
Zhao Hu was stunned and stood there with his hands held high. After all, he was still a young man who had never been in the world and lacked experience in dealing with the world.
However, the warrior was lost in his memories and said, "King Huanxi, I am the chief disciple of Huanxi Sect. Due to the strict rules of Huanxi Sect, you cannot forcibly take Yin to replenish Yang without the other party's permission. It is important to have mutual consent and make progress together.
The Joyful Sect is a formidable, prestigious, and upright sect. While its martial arts techniques are somewhat deviant, they never engage in deviant practices. This year, the Joyful Sect's chief disciple, having long failed to make any progress in the martial arts, fell into the evil path and began to extensively cultivate Yin to replenish Yang. He was labeled a traitor by the Joyful Sect and expelled from the sect.
"Then didn't the Huanxi Sect hunt him down? He's a traitor, and he can still get away with violating the sect's rules?" Zhao Hu asked his question naively.
"Haha, you're still so naive. This Happy King is extremely skilled at absorbing Yin to replenish Yang, and his martial arts have advanced rapidly. He's now a Grandmaster and ranked 77th on the Earth Ranking. You want the Happy Sect to hunt him down? Besides, this Happy King has always had a close relationship with them, so why cut off the connection with a Grandmaster? This is a major sect, kid, study hard. It's a pity, there's no future for you."
"However, taking Yin to replenish Yang is nothing. He can only harm a few women, at most a hundred or so, which is not a big impact. But this man is moody. Whenever he arrives at a place, he will always put on a grand show and flaunt himself. He also often plunders county towns and other small places, stealing wealth and beautiful women, and slaughtering local forces to build his illusory reputation."
Zhao Hu's scalp went numb when he heard this. He only had one last thing to say: to wipe out the local forces.
Zhao Hu threw down the wine jug in his hand and immediately ran away, rushing to the headquarters of his own escort agency and notifying the escort leaders to get ready.
The escort agency was in the center of the small county town, just a few streets away. Zhao Hu ran as fast as he could and arrived there in no time.
However, what was waiting for him was not the escort leader with the same smile, nor the big escort leader, nor the usually very strict senior brother or the cute and lovely junior sister.
There was only a pool of blood on the ground, and corpses were scattered all over the escort agency. Everyone had their eyes wide open and could not close them in death.
"I'm late, I'm late, ah ah!!!" Zhao Hu raised his head and yelled, his eyes red. He only wanted revenge now.
"King of Joy, my martial arts are unrivaled. Believe in me and you will enjoy eternal life!" This slogan is so harsh.
It seemed that the murderer had not gone far. Zhao Hu rushed out of the door with his eyes wide open, determined to take revenge, without considering whether he had the ability to do so.
"My king, there are still people alive here. Should we kill them?" A servant of the King Huanxi, who was wearing bright red clothes, discovered Zhao Hu.
"Kill him and don't disturb my fun." A weak voice came out, as if announcing Zhao Hu's future fate.
