Chapter 32: Wouldn’t it be over if you had said so earlier?
"Gather everyone in the front yard and keep an eye on it yourself."
“No one is allowed to enter the inner courtyard, no matter what happens.”
"Understand?"
As soon as he entered the gate of Xu Mansion, Xu Chong gave an instruction to Lao Li.
"clear."
Old Li held back all the words in his mind and bowed to accept the order.
Not long after, Xu Chong met Zhou Ze in the main hall of the inner courtyard.
He was wearing a coarse linen shirt, his hair was messy like a chicken coop, and his face was dirty.
"Doesn't it look like a beggar?"
Zhou Ze chuckled.
"It's not necessarily that I want to beg for food, but it's true that I want to be a criminal."
Xu Chong stood at the door, his eyes cold: "How dare you come back? Aren't you afraid of being caught?"
"whispering sound."
Zhou Ze smiled disdainfully, "Don't try to bluff me. I took so long to come back just to confirm whether Fu Yuanlong is here."
" Who can catch me now that he's gone?"
"Are those bailiffs able to catch me? Or are you... the real traitor?"
As soon as the words fell, Xu Chong's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean?"
"Okay, stop pretending. After all this time, if I still don't figure it out, then I've been the chief clerk for nothing."
Zhou Ze couldn't stop laughing, and he made a clicking sound, "I have to say, you really surprised me. For the sake of martial arts skills, you actually joined the Taiping Dao."
"I do not know what you're talking about."
Xu Chong was secretly on guard, ready to unleash his positive yang energy at any time.
"have no idea?"
Zhou Ze seemed very patient, "Then I'll explain in more detail."
"You, Xu Chong, used to be a gentleman, who hated evil and was upright and incorruptible."
"Until you learned from Wang Hezhi about the existence of martial arts and the secret of household registration, you changed."
"You long to embark on the path of martial arts and long to possess power."
"At the same time, you didn't want to wait another three years in vain, so when you heard that Youde Bookstore was secretly hiding evil methods, you were more active than ever."
"Unfortunately, Zhang Youde died before you found him, and you were unable to obtain martial arts skills from him."
"Until the Blood-Robed Guards came to Canglong to hunt down the Taiping Dao rebels, Wu Wenjing and I didn't want to put ourselves in danger, so we wanted to pass the responsibility to you."
"But you're not stupid. You know there's danger and you don't want to take it alone."
"But why did you agree in the end?"
"Because I'm telling you, the rebels may be carrying martial arts skills."
"In order to start practicing martial arts as soon as possible, you finally chose to take a risk."
“Tsk tsk tsk, he is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. You have to know that he is a Tongmai realm expert that Wu Wenjing and I dare not show our face to.”
"Oh no, you can't say that."
"You know too little about martial arts to determine that the rebel is at the Tongmai realm, and you don't know that ordinary people cannot pose a threat to Tongmai warriors."
"You are nothing but a poor creature blinded by greed."
At this point, Zhou Ze laughed sarcastically, "Sorry, I got off topic."
"Anyway, you took advantage of the Blood Robe Guards' prestige to conduct large-scale searches in the city, pretending to be doing your best."
"In fact, I'm afraid you found the female rebel in the first few days."
"I don't know what method you used, whether it was bribery or coercion, to team up with some yamen runners to hide it from Fu Yuanlong."
"Then, you cooperated with that female traitor to divert Fu Yuanlong's attention, allowing her to find the right time to sneak into the county government office, kill Wu Wenjing, hold me hostage and pretend to be a water ghost, and finally escape successfully."
"Tsk tsk tsk, one thing after another, everyone is encouraged, it's simply perfect."
Snap, snap, snap!
Zhou Ze clapped his hands, his face full of admiration, "Xu Chong, Xu Chong, you really impressed me. If I'm not mistaken, you have joined the Taiping Dao, right?"
"So, you came back to kill me to avenge your calculations?"
Xu Chong neither admitted nor denied it.
"Kill you? No no no!"
Zhou Ze's expression suddenly turned cold, "There's something you may not know yet."
"Once the crime of treason is reviewed by the Ministry of Justice, the court will reduce the person's household registration to that of a craftsman."
"By then, all the things like opening the orifices, opening the meridians, and martial arts will disappear from my memory."
"Even if I have the strength of the eighth level of enlightenment, I can't use it at all."
"I don't even dare to think about what I will become by then!"
"You've caused me to fall into this state. If I just kill you like that, wouldn't that be too easy for you?"
Zhou Ze stood up and walked towards Xu Chong step by step. Endless hatred boiled in his eyes: "I will use the most cruel and vicious punishment on you and make you regret being born into this world!"
"etc."
Xu Chong raised his hand, frowned and asked, "You said that the rebels are all craftsmen? Then how can the people of Taiping Dao practice martial arts?"
"Oh, how naive! Is this a secret that everyone can know?"
Zhou Ze came closer with a grim smile.
"Hmm, so, the Taiping Dao has a way to allow people to avoid the fifth-class household registration, and you... failed to join the Taiping Dao?"
Xu Chong suddenly relaxed and curled the corners of his mouth.
"Yes, the Taiping Dao said that people like me are not worthy of joining... Haha, you who are worthy of joining, didn't you fall into my hands?"
Excitement and madness mixed with despair caused Zhou Ze's face to be distorted to the extreme, making him look extremely terrifying.
Xu Chong, however, was more relaxed, and said lazily: "Why didn't you say so earlier? You've wasted half a day."
Fu Yuanlong had explained to him the difference between great medicine and precious medicine. Through this, he deduced that Zhou Ze's highest level was only the eighth level of enlightenment.
So he was not worried about Zhou Ze's strength from the beginning.
He was only worried that Zhou Ze had joined the Taiping Dao, and if he was killed, it would lead to revenge.
it's good now.
The Taiping Dao will not accept it.
Just kill him.
Xu Chong released his suppression of Zheng Yang Jin.
"You wasted so much time? What's the point..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Ze's pupils suddenly shrank to the extreme.
This feeling!!!
impossible!!!
In Zhou Ze's perception.
Xu Chong suddenly transformed himself from an ordinary person with nothing special into a supreme being that could not be looked directly at.
That kind of majesty and dignity was something he had never experienced in his life.
Even when I met the Heavenly Official during the Ministry of Personnel Assessment in the capital, I didn’t have such an exaggerated feeling!
Can Xu Chong , no matter how special he is, be compared with the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel?
impossible!
This must be an illusion!
Zhou Ze fell into great doubt about himself and the world.
"What I mean is, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you anymore."
With the power of Zhengyang surging, Xu Chong's figure disappeared in an instant.
When he reappeared, he had already grabbed Zhou Ze's neck with one hand.
Bang——crack!
One punch.
Just one punch broke Zhou Ze's collarbone.
It was not until then that Zhou Ze finally came to his senses, and then fell into even greater shock.
"Ninth level of enlightenment!!!"
"How can it be?!"
