Chapter 171: Arrogant at First but Respectful Later
Han Zheng's tone was cold and very impolite.
Hundreds of red-flag bandits in the mountain stronghold saw that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately took out their weapons and looked at Han Zheng vigilantly, as if they were going to fight if they disagreed.
Li Tianbao was not angry at this time, but just smiled and said: "Brother Su, you are overthinking. I don't mean that. I'm just curious."
Han Zheng laughed in anger and said: "Curious, right? Then I'll tell you, the boss.
You haven't heard of me because you bandits are ignorant and only know how to wander around Yanbo Lake. How many big and small figures do you know on Shannan Road?
As for why I was able to escape from the hands of the martial arts master, it's naturally because of this!"
As soon as the voice fell, a roar of wind and thunder suddenly rose around Han Zheng.
Almost in an instant, Han Zheng's figure appeared in front of Li Tianbao, and a punch with a cold and sharp aura suddenly fell!
Li Tianbao's face changed suddenly.
What a fast speed!
With his fists clenched, Li Tianbao's hand showed ice-blue energy. When the seal fell, it was like a giant whale roaring, and a magnificent explosion broke out.
The fists collided, and a deafening roar of energy was heard. Han Zheng retreated three steps, and Li Tianbao retreated half a step.
"With my speed, what can I do even if a martial arts master comes? The old man Xu Cunbao, the garrison commander of Kaiping Prefecture, is indeed powerful. Even Yin Taiqing of Guiyuan Sword Pavilion died in his hands.
But with my speed, even if Xu Cunbao comes, he can't catch up with me!
As for why I didn't hide on the wanted list, why did I come to Yanbo Prefecture, there are so many whys?
This young master comes and goes as he pleases. If I can't stay in Shannan Road, I can go to Xijiang Road to play with women. What can the Demon-Slaying Division do to me?"
When the red-flag thieves around saw that Han Zheng dared to take action, they gathered around him, holding weapons and looking at Han Zheng with murderous intent.
Chen Laosan and Fang Dahai were a little at a loss at this time.
This was completely different from what they had imagined before.
In their opinion, they had helped the village recruit a great master of the Xuan Gang Realm, and the boss should have kept him in the village as soon as possible. Why did they start fighting?
Han Zheng looked at the red flag bandits around him and sneered.
"You guys are a bunch of scumbags, and you want to stop me? It's just wishful thinking!
Originally, I wanted to kill your two men and take the boat to Xijiang Road directly.
They begged me to come to your shitty Wulao Mountain.
Now it seems that it is completely unnecessary!"
Having said that, Han Zheng turned around and left.
"Wait a minute, Brother Su!"
Seeing that Han Zheng was about to leave, Li Tianbao was relieved and immediately stopped him.
If Han Zheng had answered his questions in a formal manner and showed his intention to stay in Wulao Mountain, Li Tianbao would definitely be suspicious immediately. Even if he didn't take action, he would have expelled him from Wulao Mountain.
But Su Liuyun in front of him looked like a young and successful man with an extremely arrogant look. He even took action directly without any courtesy. Now he wanted to leave directly, which made Li Tianbao let down his guard.
In his opinion, Su Liuyun was probably a disciple of an old devil in Shannan Road. He was young and successful, arrogant, arrogant and perverse. He committed crimes in Kaiping Prefecture without knowing how to restrain himself.
However, the opponent's strength was unquestionable.
Su Liuyun was good at speed-related body movements. His speed was so fast that he almost couldn't react.
And the punch just now was enough to prove that although he was young, his cultivation in the early stage of Xuangang Realm was still very solid. He was only repelled three steps by himself, which was not weak.
Leaving such a great master of Xuan Gang Realm in Wulao Mountain will greatly increase the power of the Red Flag Bandits.
At this moment, Li Tianbao really wanted to keep Han Zheng.
"Why, do you really want to keep me?"
Han Zheng sneered: "There are so many Xuanjia guards in Kaiping Prefecture's Demon-Slaying Division who can't do anything to me. You want to keep me in a small mountain village? Wishful thinking!"
Li Tianbao hurriedly said: "Brother Su misunderstood, I didn't mean that. I didn't mean to humiliate you just now, but there are so many brothers in Wulao Mountain. Whenever outsiders enter Wulao Mountain, I must be cautious.
Brother Su has reached the Xuangang realm at a young age. He is a hero among heroes in the entire Shannan Road. I believe he will not be as narrow-minded as me, right?
Now that Brother Su has entered Wulao Mountain, if he leaves like this, wouldn't it make me, Li Tianbao, look petty?
How about this, Brother Su can stay in Wulao Mountain for a few days, just to avoid the limelight.
I will hold a banquet and let the brothers welcome you, Brother Su, what do you think?"
As he said, Li Tianbao also scolded the red flag bandits around him.
"Who are you showing your weapons to? Is this how you treat guests? Put them away!"
Li Tianbao was arrogant at first but respectful later, and his attitude was extremely humble.
Young people like Su Liuyun, who are very powerful at a young age and have an arrogant personality, are most susceptible to this.
You are tough, but he is tougher than you, so you must soften your attitude and make the other party feel respected.
Sure enough, Su Liuyun thought for a moment, snorted and said, "If that's the case, then I'll stay for a few days.
But let's make it clear that I have no interest in joining you Red Flag Bandits.
There is not even a woman in this place, I can't stand it, I will leave when the limelight is over."
Li Tianbao smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. Brother Su, you can leave whenever you want."
Although he said so, Li Tianbao had already made up his mind. He had understood Su Liuyun's character in the past few days and was determined to keep him here.
After arranging Han Zheng to sit down, Li Tianbao immediately asked people to prepare a banquet, and the dishes were extremely rich, giving Han Zheng enough face.
As the leader of the Red Flag Bandits, Li Tianbao was still very courageous.
Once it was confirmed that Han Zheng was not a suspect, he immediately put on a respectful and respectful appearance to improve his favorability in front of the other party.
When the banquet was served, Li Tianbao raised his glass and said, "This is to welcome Brother Su to Wulao Mountain. Brothers, let's toast to Brother Su!"
The Red Flag Bandits present raised their glasses at the same time. Han Zheng drank a glass and looked around and said, "Boss, there don't seem to be many of you Red Flag Bandits. There don't seem to be a hundred people here. Can you get enough people on a boat?"
Li Tianbao laughed and said, "That's why Brother Su is an outsider. We are different from the bandits on land. For example, the Blood Wolf Bandits next door have heavy armored cavalry and can directly confront the Great Zhou military.
But we are in the lake, and we are fast to come and go. Small boats are easy to turn around, and we need big ships to fight. The ship is not easy to control.
It’s not that the Red Flag Pirates don’t have big ships. After years of plundering, we even have a giant ship with a thousand people, but we just look at it and it’s not practical.
When plundering caravans, five or six people in a small boat, like a wolf pack, directly surround the big ship, start boarding from all directions, and control a giant ship in a blink of an eye.
So small boats have their advantages. At least in this Yanbo Lake, the more ships, the stronger the power.
The same is true for the number of people. Although the Red Flag Pirates are few, they are all elites, and each of them has experienced hundreds of battles. They are not inferior to the Black Armor Guards of the Demon Slayer Division! "
Li Tianbao was just bragging.
The strength of the Red Flag Pirates is only acceptable, but it can’t be compared with the Black Armor Guards.
"And my Red Flag Bandits have more than these people. There are more than 20 people in the surrounding fortresses controlling the city-breaking crossbows and the formation passages connecting Wulao Mountain. There can't be a shortage of people there."
Han Zheng nodded in understanding, pretending to be casual: "So we are drinking and eating meat here, and there are brothers blowing the cold wind there? How bad is that? Why not invite them in for a drink?"
Li Tianbao hesitated for a moment and nodded.
He didn't want to offend Han Zheng, and it wouldn't take long to just drink a glass of wine.
In fact, those Red Flag Bandits are not there all day and night for twelve hours a day.
Sometimes they will take a little slack when they change shifts.
But the outside world will not be so lucky to break into Wulao Mountain when they are slack, so it's no big deal.
Seeing Li Tianbao ask people to call all the Red Flag Bandits guarding the fortress, Han Zheng lowered his head, and a sharp look appeared in his eyes.
The people on Wulao Mountain are finally complete.
