Chapter 100 Make a Bet
It was already evening when Bai Yuzhe and the others left the auction house. They took back the wildebeest they had stored and then headed all the way to their residence! However, their speed was not too fast. After all, there were many people on the street at this time. In addition, the auction of spiritual-level skills had just ended, so the flow of people was still relatively dense.
When they were about to return to their residence, it was completely dark. When they turned down and were about to lead the wildebeest into the yard, Bai Yuzhe suddenly frowned and looked inside warily.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Seeing Bai Yuzhe's strange movement, Tieta asked.
Bai Yuzhe did not answer Tie Ta's words, but said coldly to the dark place inside: "Now that you are here, don't hide your head and show your tail, just come out!"
The Eighteen Blood Guards immediately moved, holding their weapons in their hands, ready to fight at any time! Someone actually found their residence directly and prepared to ambush them here. Some of them have already thought that the people coming are most likely members of the Yuan Kingdom royal family.
"Hahaha..." A burst of laughter came from inside, and then, figures kept flashing out of the darkness, and the laughter came from the mouth of the leader.
The leader is a middle-aged man with a burly build, a resolute face, and sharp features. He is wearing a black suit and exudes a violent momentum. His short black hair makes him look more energetic and domineering!
There were more than thirty people behind him, each of them tall and tall, exuding an aura of iron blood.
"Boy, it's really good. You were able to discover us so quickly!" The middle-aged man in charge had a smile on his face. He didn't seem to be hostile. He even praised Bai Yuzhe!
Bai Yuzhe frowned. He felt a threat from these people, and the iron-blooded murderous intent made him already judge in his heart that they should be members of the royal family, and these people had all been on the battlefield. of.
"City...City...Lord of the City!" Before Bai Yuzhe could reply, He Shengming, who was following at the end, suddenly trembled all over. He looked at the trembling middle-aged man and said with fear on his face.
After hearing He Shengming's words that were beyond his control, Bai Yuzhe and others immediately understood that Su Lijun's reminder had indeed come true. This person is the city lord of Huangcheng and a member of the royal family of Yuan Kingdom. In other words, the royal family is going to take action against them!
Hong Zhenshan is not surprised that someone knows him. He is not a particularly mysterious figure in Huangcheng. He often appears in the public eye due to some needs. It is normal for someone to know him.
"Yes, I am the city lord of Huangcheng. I believe you all know that the city lord of Huangcheng has always been appointed by the royal family. You don't seem to be stupid. You should know the purpose of this city lord! Now, I will give you two ways. First The way is to join the Yuan Kingdom and follow the prince and the others back to the imperial city. Your Majesty will not treat you badly then! The other way is to disappear from this world forever!" Hong Zhenshan said the last words with a smile on his face still. At that time, it was still so natural.
He did not accompany Prince Hong Qinglin to the auction today because he had already found out the situation of Bai Yuzhe and others, so he had already started making arrangements.
It has been three or four hours since Hong Zhenshan came here. The gangsters around him have already been controlled by them, and a comprehensive search was conducted in the house! Because this group of people can actually put up spirit-level skills for auction, then who knows what good things will come out?
After more than three hours of searching, they did not find many valuable things. What surprised Hong Zhenshan the most was that he saw an alchemy furnace in a room! Moreover, that room was filled with the aroma of the elixir, and it was obvious that the elixir had been refined not long ago.
Even with Hong Zhenshan's experience, he could tell that the grade of this elixir was not low at all. From his careful investigation, he found that no one else had been living in this place recently, which meant that the alchemist was among this group of people.
Such a young alchemist, and at least a second-grade alchemist, made Hong Zhenshan moved! Originally, the order he received was to recruit first, but if that didn't work, he could only silence them. Another spiritual-level skill appears. What they want to do is to monopolize it. No one else except the Hong family, the royal family of Yuan Kingdom, can own it!
Only in this way can they always maintain the strength of their Yuan Kingdom and ensure that their Hong family's throne is stable!
Although this group of people may have practiced spiritual-level skills, they are still young after all. As long as they arrive in the imperial city and join their national organization, they will definitely be tightly controlled, and they are not afraid of what they can do. And, if things go right, they can serve their country.
When Hong Zhenshan discovered that among this group of people there was an alchemist of a high level, his idea of recruiting became even more popular. There are never too many alchemists no matter where they are, not to mention that there have never been many royal alchemists! It's not that they don't want to recruit more, it's just that the number is so scarce.
"What if I choose the third path?" Bai Yuzhe narrowed his eyes slightly, as if there was a flash of light, and his tone was calm, but with an unquestionable momentum.
"Hmph!" Hong Zhenshan snorted coldly. His previous smile disappeared, and an extremely powerful aura emitted. He pressed directly towards Bai Yuzhe and the Eighteen Blood Guards, and said in a tone that brooked no resistance, "There is no third way. It can be seen that you all have good talents, and you may have even practiced spiritual-level techniques. But don't forget, how old are you? How much fighting power do you have? Even if you have reached the source-inducing realm, can you still fight against the entire Yuan Kingdom? ?”
"Besides, having you serve His Majesty and become ministers of Yuan Kingdom is what many people dream of. Don't miss it and choose a dead end instead!"
As he spoke, Hong Zhenshan slowly walked forward, his momentum increasing continuously, and he pressed towards the opponent! However, as the momentum he released continued to increase, Hong Zhenshan became more and more shocked...
Because, among the twenty people in front of me, except for the person who called out his identity before, he was shivering and even almost lying on the ground! None of the other nineteen people felt anything at all, especially the person standing at the front. Facing his violent momentum, they felt as if they were taking a breath of spring breeze.
Bai Yuzhe did not answer his words immediately, but was thinking quietly. He does not want to be an enemy of Yuan Kingdom now. If he really wants to fight, although these people in front of him are powerful, he does not have no chance!
However, if they become enemies with the Yuan Kingdom now, they will have almost no foothold in the deserted city, so if it can be resolved peacefully, try not to take action! If the city lord of the deserted city is killed, there will be no room for change.
"City Master Hong, if you group of strong men bully us juniors, it doesn't seem to be a glorious thing! If you want us to be loyal to the country, it's not impossible, but you have to convince me that I lose!" Finally, after passing After a short period of consideration, Bai Yuzhe spoke.
"Oh? How can I convince you? Why don't you tell me?" Hong Zhenshan stopped, looked at Bai Yuzhe with interest, and asked. He is very confident in himself and is not afraid of the other party delaying time. In Huangcheng, he really doesn't believe that anyone dares to confront him.
Even the Luo family and Huangtianmen, although those two old men were indeed stronger than themselves, they did not dare to fight against me. And if we can truly convince the people in front of us and serve our country in the future, it will be worth spending more time and energy!
"Let's make a bet. If you win, then as you wish, all nineteen of us will follow the Crown Prince to the imperial city and wait for your orders without any hesitation! If I win by chance, then please give us one year Considering time, I will live here all the time this year, how about it?" Bai Yuzhe said his suggestion and looked at Hong Zhenshan, waiting for his response.
"Does it take a year to consider it?" Hong Zhenshan asked with a frown.
"Need! Because the matter is so important that we can't be careless!" Bai Yuzhe replied firmly.
After Hong Zhenshan thought about it for a while, he said: "So, let's talk about your bet first. How will you make it?"
"If we really want to fight, then I think I am no match for you! So, I want to show off my strength with City Master Hong, how about that?" In order to lure the opponent to take the bait, Bai Yuzhe had to be humble and pretend to be a pig this time. Eat tiger!
In fact, what he said was reasonable. No one would believe that a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old could defeat Hong Zhenshan, the lord of Huangcheng who was already in the Guangpo realm. This was simply a joke.
Hong Zhenshan narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Bai Yuzhe as if they were in a straight line. A show of arm strength? In fact, this kind of thing happens often in the army. He also joined the army back then, but this happened decades ago. The word "arm strength" sounds strange and a little familiar at the same time.
Moreover, he also suspected that although this boy was not thin, he had absolutely nothing to do with the word tall and burly. The realm is in the middle stage of the Spiritual Aperture Realm. Why should he compete with me in terms of strength?
Even with natural divine power, it is impossible to cross such a huge realm. Moreover, is there anyone with such natural power as him? You are the one who is born with divine power, okay?
No matter how you think about it, you can't lose. Maybe this guy is a little arrogant and doesn't know much about himself, the lord of the deserted city! Thinking of this, Hong Zhenshan nodded and said: "Okay, then as you said, let's compete in arm strength. This city lord wants to see how strong you can be with this board!"
