Chapter 22 Jiang Shigui

  Zhao Hui, who had been worried sick, even shouted out loud: "How is it him?!"

  The person who caught Zhao Hu was Zhou Liang. No matter what, Zhao Hu had kindly taken him for a ride and saved his life with just a lift of his hand. Looking at the still dazed Zhao Hu, he said calmly: "Alright, leave it to me, you can go back now!"

  Zhao Hu's heart was filled with wild joy, a turning point had arrived. He hastily bowed to Zhou Liang and retreated several steps, but did not retreat into the circle of carriages. The others also curiously looked at Zhou Liang, their hearts filled with surprise and delight.

  "Dad, are you alright?" Zhao Hui asked as he stepped forward.

  "It's nothing, just a bit of chest pain!" Zhao Hu had just been kicked directly in the chest, rubbed it, and cast his gaze on Hei Da Han and Zhou Liang. The two formed a stark contrast, one big and strong, the other small and weak. Previously, he may have had some doubts about Zhou Liang, but Zhou's performance just now showed that he was not simple at all. The question was whether he could withstand such a sturdy man?

  The burly man was furious, but he didn't expect that after a brief scuffle, the person who had just kicked him was only a little kid. He was taken aback and blurted out: "Kid, where are your parents?"

  Zhou Liang had seen a lot in his past life, but he had never seen such a scoundrel before. He couldn't help but laugh and say: "You rascal, aren't you here to rob me? The young master is standing right here, come and try your luck!"

  The sturdy man scowled, staring at Zhou Liang. After a long while, he finally spat out a sentence: "You! Grandpa doesn't bother with kids, where are your parents? Let them come out!"

  Such a conversation made the expressions of everyone in the Zhao family's merchant group strange. Is it really that easy to solve? This is too far-fetched. The big black man just now was ferocious and almost took Zhao Hu's life. Who would have thought, it's actually so unclear, if I had known earlier, I would have found a child to go up instead.

  As expected, he's a troublemaker. Zhou Liang shook his head helplessly and strode past the burly man with a swagger, casually slapping the giant stone in the middle of the official road, which flew high into the air against all natural laws, before gently falling to the side of the road.

  Everyone was shocked, those stones were all bluestones, each weighing a staggering amount. Zhou Liang casually patted one and it actually flew up. This represented something, even the black big man's eyes widened in surprise, then he grinned and said: "Good kid, come on, let's compare our strength!"

  "Alright!" Zhou Liang replied faintly, pointing at the stone in front of him and saying: "You block, I push. Fair enough!"

  "Fair enough!" The big Han laughed loudly, his voice filled with a bright and straightforward tone, which made Zhou Liang look at him again. The tall and sturdy black Han had a nimble body like a leopard cat, and in an instant, he stood behind the giant stone, stretched his body, and every joint creaked as he said: "Alright, come on!"

  Zhuang Han stood in front of the stone, even if the stone was as big as a mountain, it couldn't take away Zhuang Han's momentum. The people from the Zhao family merchant group who were watching from the side started to worry, but Zhou Liang walked over slowly, as if he was taking a leisurely stroll.

  "Be careful!" Zhou Liang didn't make any moves, and directly pushed onto the giant stone. The big black man didn't feel any force, he thought Zhou Liang was just pretending to be fierce. Just as he was about to speak, a powerful force that he couldn't resist came rushing towards him. He didn't even have time to react, and was lifted high into the air along with the giant stone, and both of them were thrown to the side of the road.

  At this time, a cheer came from the direction of the horse carriage. Zhou Liang's strength was beyond their imagination. All the members of the Zhao family business team were overjoyed and excited. They were just small businessmen, and almost everything they had was earned through hard work and risking their lives. They thought it was a dead end, but they had unexpectedly escaped death.

  The burly man retreated over a dozen steps before he finally managed to stop his momentum. He stared at his own hands in disbelief, from childhood to adulthood, he had always possessed incredible physical strength, and in terms of brute force, he had always been confident. Yet, he never expected to suffer such a crushing defeat here; this wasn't just a matter of being weaker by one level, but rather an unknown number of levels, to the point where he didn't even have the ability to resist.

  Zhou Liang looked at the still dazed Hei Da Han, and smiled wryly. This rascal, even if he was a bandit, only had a ferocious appearance without any intention to kill. His character was still good, otherwise, Zhou Liang wouldn't have let him live. In his past life, no matter what, he was an expert in martial arts, and the lives of those under him were not few. For someone like this little thief, killing him would be a trivial matter.

  Just as Zhou Liang was lost in thought, the big black man suddenly pounced to his front and shouted loudly: "Master is above, please accept a bow from your disciple!"

  Master? Zhou Liang was taken aback and couldn't help but laugh, to be honest, the tall black man's physique was impressive, but his age wasn't that great either, at most a few years older than him, not even 20 years old yet, such talent is indeed astonishing. He couldn't help but feel a little affection for this talented youth, however, he hadn't even started on the path of cultivation yet, taking an apprentice was too early.

  Zhou Liang shook his head and said: "I'm too young, and there's nothing good for me to teach you!"

  Zhuang Han's face showed a hint of disappointment, but he still got up and crawled forward. Zhou Liang's eyes fell on the giant stone in front of him and said, "Still not moving it!"

  Zhuang Han was stunned, rubbed his head, and then said: "Alright then!"

  After finishing speaking, the strong man went three steps and two steps to move the huge stone that blocked the middle of the road, leaving a passage for the horse carriage to pass through.

  Next to him, Zhao Hu was stunned. He had thought that the two sides would definitely conflict, but he didn't expect it to pass so simply and easily. Wouldn't they have a big battle? He had thought he would see an epic battle, until Zhou Liang urged him to get on the car, and only then did he remember, hastily getting on the car and inviting Zhou Liang to get on, and even after sitting in the car, he still couldn't understand why it was like this.

  One carriage after another passed by the strong man, and the strong man stood motionless on the side of the road without moving. It wasn't until Zhou Liang's carriage passed that the strong man suddenly said: "Wait!"

  Zhao Ren's heart skipped a beat, the strong man's oppressive force was still very great, his body trembled, and he turned to look at Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang leaned out of the carriage and said, "What's wrong, is there something else?"

  The robust man's face turned slightly red, seemingly embarrassed. At this moment, his stomach let out a thunderous growl, the sound was so loud yet so familiar that Zhao Ren was stunned. A man who looked so robust, could it be that he was hungry?

  The strong man hesitated for a long time before saying: "I don't know if you have eaten!"

  "Something to eat?" Zhou Liang looked at the strong man deeply, at noon when they were having a snack, the cured meat was not bad. On this trip, there were occasionally places where you couldn't find a village in front of you or a store behind you, so he had bought quite a bit. He took out a piece of cured meat and handed it to the strong man, who excitedly took it over and almost forgot that Zhou Liang was beside him as he wolfed it down.

  Almost ten catties of cured meat were eaten clean by him in an instant, the huge amount of food made people astonished. After finishing eating, he noticed that the horse carriage was still beside him, and he said bluntly: "Aren't you leaving yet?"

  Zhou Liang smiled slightly and said: "What's your name? How did you end up in this situation?"

  "My name is Jiang Shigui, I accidentally lost my luggage, so..."

  Jiang Shigevin, Zhou Liang looked him up and down, physique, plus personality, was probably that Jiang Shigevin. He was born weighing ten kilograms, and from a young age had incredible strength. At this time, he seemed to be on his way to Shaolin Temple to become an apprentice, but due to a series of unfortunate events, he lost his money, robbed someone, and then robbed a merchant who happened to be a devout Buddhist from Shaolin. As luck would have it, Jiang Shigevin ran into him while trying to become an apprentice, and was beaten up and chased out of the temple gate. It could be said that he was extremely unlucky.

  But unexpectedly, due to misfortune, he met a sword immortal at the foot of Mount Song and was accepted as a disciple. Hundreds of years later, Chi Hu became famous throughout the land for his great name, and with one giant sword, he became one of the top sword immortals, known for his powerful and majestic swordsmanship, with a single stroke of his massive sword capable of unleashing boundless power.

  "You're not even prepared now, how can you go and find a master!"

  "This!" Jiang Shigui looked at Zhou Liang, but ultimately still said vaguely: "I'll continue to rob!"

  "Alright, your temper, how can you rob!" Zhou Liang laughed and said, the businessman in his previous life was not a good bird either, with an evil tone and flying everywhere, that's why he was robbed by Jiang Shijin. In his previous life, Jiang Shijin spent three days and three nights here, don't know how many people he robbed, but in the end, only one succeeded, others always had various reasons to escape from his robbery, also a rare thief.

  Jiang Shigui thought for a moment and said, "We're heading north anyway, why don't we give you a ride?"

  "That's great!" Jiang Shigui's face lit up with joy, and he directly jumped onto the horse carriage. His massive body made the carriage sink, and the horse let out a loud whinny. Zhao Ren's face showed a hint of difficulty as he looked at Zhao Hu, a notorious bandit who had just been invited onto the carriage - this change was too sudden! He looked at Zhao Hu, who slightly nodded his head, not daring to say anything, and drove the carriage forward.

  "Father, are you all right?" Zhao Hui asked.

  Zhao Hu excitedly said: "Nothing's wrong, it seems that we really picked up a treasure!"

  "What a pity, it's just Huizhou!"

  "It's already good enough that you've made it to Huizhou, where else do you want to go? Someone like this is destined to be different from us!"

  Zhao Hui didn't say a word, but his eyes drifted towards the last carriage, wondering what was on his mind. The carriage moved forward, and the high mountains on both sides quickly retreated into the distance.
