Chapter 202: Blood boiling
Needless to say, Liang Yuanwang immediately opened his voice: "Hey, my master, this is not the place for you to call the shots. We have to find a way out quickly, otherwise we will die here."
The two bodyguards also changed into inconspicuous clothes and stammered in agreement: "Yes, Master, let's find a way."
"Go to hell." The city lord kicked one of the guards. "I spent money, so you have to listen to me. Hurry up and find food and supplies. If you can't find it tonight, get out of here."
If you don’t know him, you would really think he is a playboy.
Liang Huanxue covered her face.
"Our city lord is... quite down-to-earth?"
Liang Yuanwang smiled secretly while cooperating with the city actor in the performance.
Sure enough, Zhu Qi and his group were quickly attracted by the movement here and hurriedly brought a few people over.
Although the city lord was deliberately pretending to be weak, it was obvious that he was in good health, not to mention Liang Yuanwang and his two bodyguards. No matter who they were, they didn't look like weaklings.
Zhu Qi had another idea and immediately walked over with two people.
"What's going on with you?" Zhu Qi frowned and walked up to the city lord and his entourage with the look of a gangster.
The city lord held his upper body high and said in a very impressive manner: "We are lost here. You, lead us out, and I promise to give you a huge reward, and ensure that you will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
Zhu Qi looked at the people in front of him, and especially when he saw that the city lord looked noble despite his ragged clothes, he became even more suspicious. His younger brother came over and whispered, "Boss, these people don't look simple."
"Humph!" Zhu Qi sneered, "There are so many poor young men in this world. But since we have encountered one, let's search them first to see if they have anything valuable, regardless of whether they are real or fake."
Upon seeing this, the two bodyguards immediately followed the plan, pretending to be afraid and deliberately showing off some of the gold and silver jewelry they were carrying in order to increase Zhu Qi's greed.
When Zhu Qi saw that there was indeed money to be made, he waved his hand and decided to take them with him.
The city lord seemed helpless, but he was actually secretly happy, and the group thus mixed into Zhu Qi's team.
In the following days, the city lord gradually won a certain trust from Zhu Qijun with his excellent acting skills and hidden strength.
Liang Huanxue was so stunned that she could only praise.
"As expected of the city lord, such courage and execution!"
"Boss, I found something."
The full actions there attracted the attention of the city lord and others, especially when they saw what was in Zhu Qi's confidant's hand, they were even more shocked.
Although the main force followed behind, for safety reasons, they did not follow too closely, but required them to leave a mark.
What that person was holding was exactly what the city lord had left behind.
Soon, Zhu Qi came over with something and asked with a half-smile: "What is this?"
The city lord remained calm and pointed at Liang Yuanwang and his two bodyguards: "Look, whose is this?"
Zhu Qi's eyebrows twitched. He couldn't ask any more questions and left with a gloomy face.
Soon, the guard whispered, "City Lord, Zhu Qi has sent a few people to watch us. If we want to leave something behind, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
The city lord frowned slightly, slapped his personal guard, and shouted: "I already said that this young master wants to eat meat, if you can't find it, get out."
As soon as he finished speaking, he whispered, "We'll take it one step at a time."
"I have a plan."
Liang Huanxue jumped out.
Based on absolute trust, Liang Yuanwang also spoke: "City Lord, I have a way."
The city lord did not ask, but just said: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
Liang Huanxue still took advantage of her field of vision to leave marks for the people who were following closely, and kept a close eye on the people around Zhu Qi. If they showed any unusual behavior, she would immediately put the things back into the space.
I walked back and forth like this for a few days, but I really didn't notice anything unusual.
Approaching the mountain road, Zhu Qi led everyone to stop to rest and talk with his confidants.
"Could it be that I am overly suspicious?"
The confidant suggested: "If you are worried, why not..."
The confidant made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Zhu Qizheng had this idea: "Wait, once we get into the mountain path, they will have nowhere to escape."
"The boss is still the most capable." The confidant flattered him.
In order to complete his idea as soon as possible, Zhu Qi called on everyone to hurry up. It was not until they entered the mountain path that the city lord started to go crazy again.
"Why are we leaving this damn place? I want to take the official road."
The city lord shouted and was about to leave with Liang Yuanwang and his personal guards.
Zhu Qi coughed twice, and his confidant understood what he meant. He drew his dagger and walked towards the city lord and others.
Liang Huanxue's blood boiled as she watched.
"It's about to start, it's about to start!"
The confidant walked up to him, and in a flash, the two guards attacked at the same time, one against one, and blood was immediately seen.
There was little light on the mountain trail, but everyone's noses were in good condition.
Liang Huanxue stuffed a lighter into Liang Yuanwang's pocket.
"Dad, I remember you brought a tinderbox with you, right? Why don't you use it?"
Liang Huanxue pretended to be curious.
Liang Yuanwang remained silent, wondering when he had brought a tinder with him. He reached into his pocket and actually took one out. After a moment of silence, he finally lit it.
Seeing that the city lord was still alive, Zhu Qi's expression changed again and again: "Who are you?"
"Lord of Linjiang City, we are here to arrest you." The Lord laughed cheerfully.
At that moment, one of the bodyguards came to Zhu Qi's side as fast as lightning.
Zhu Qi's eyes widened, without even the room to resist. When the people accompanying him were about to move, the city lord coughed a few more times.
Liang Yuanwang let out a loud howl, and the large army following closely behind him surged forward instantly.
The civilians being escorted reacted with agitation, and since they were all men, they had some martial arts skills, so the guards who had originally posed a threat were no longer a threat.
Liang Huanxue nodded repeatedly.
"Let Zhu Qi lead everyone in, so that they can arrive safely and not be suspected. But how can we make Zhu Qi obey us?"
Zhu Qi was afraid of death, so of course we made Zhu Qi think that he was going to die.
"Dad, do you have anything? Give it to Zhu Qi, but he says it's poisoned. Threaten him!"
Of course Liang Yuanwang didn't, Liang Huanxue just asked on purpose.
She stuffed some random things into Liang Yuanwang's pocket. When Liang Yuanwang took them out again, the city lord looked at him twice.
"Brother, you brought a lot of stuff. No wonder the third brother said you are reliable. I, the bodyguard, can't think of anything as complete as you."
Liang Yuanwang was so confused that he could only smile foolishly and get over it.
The bodyguard took the thing from Liang Yuanwang's hand and without saying a word, he pried open Zhu Qi's chin and stuffed it in.
Zhu Qi tried to clear his throat, but was slapped in the face by his bodyguard and swallowed the words.
The city lord shook his head and said, "It's not a good thing. It's called seven-day intestinal medicine. You know, as a city lord, I don't like to play with these things. It's just a coincidence that I met you guys. There is something to play with."
Zhu Qi's eyes rolled back and he nearly fainted.
