Chapter 219: Trump Cards

The city was not big, and Old Goatee moved very quickly.

He had walked through a majority of the streets in an afternoon, but he still could not find the hidden expert in the intermediate stage of the Perfected Person Realm.

“Most of the Perfected Persons in the city have already been bribed. Even if he is hiding and targeting us, it will not change the outcome.”

Old Goatee thought for a moment and decided to wait in the city for that variable to appear.

It would be best if the other party did not appear. If they did, he would personally go and deal with them. It would also be good if he could stall the other party.

After walking around, Old Goatee also discovered many things.

The Liu family began to shrink their territory, and many of their shops were closed. Even in the bustling places within the city, people did not say much.

The atmosphere in the city was very tense.

Clearly, the people in the city had also realized that a storm was coming.

“Hmph! So many people don’t want to escape, and they still want to rely on the Zhou and Liu Families? They can’t protect you.”

Old Goatee shook his head, climbed up the tallest tree in the city, and lay down.

That night, many people in the city went to the Liu and Zhou families.

They didn’t get any useful information.

By the time all the guests left, it was already late at night.

Liu Xiu leaned against the chair, her mind wandering.

She felt as if she had forgotten something today.

“Liu Xiu, if there’s a chance, it’s better to escape with Xu Fang and the others! I’m afraid I won’t be able to complete senior’s request.”

Big Sister was lying on her side on the chair, her beautiful curves unmistakable.

Her beautiful big eyes appeared listless, and her face was ashen. Her expression was extremely dispirited.

“Not necessarily! Perhaps, the people who deserve to die are those outside the city.”

Liu Xiu suddenly thought of something.

She suddenly stood up from the ground.

“What’s wrong?”

Big Sister turned her head and looked sideways at Liu Xiu.

Her eyes were full of questions.

What not necessarily mean?

There were so many experts outside the city, unless..

Could it be that senior was coming back?

Thinking of this, the eldest sister hurriedly sat up straight and looked at Liu Xiu.

“Today, I was besieged by saint level experts outside the city. I was even stared at by the Perfected Person experts. I didn’t feel a trace of fear. I was even at ease. This doesn’t fit the state of a warrior in danger, unless I have transcended, or my cultivation is very strong.”

“Is senior coming back, or is he quietly observing you?”

Eldest sister asked.

“No, but it’s about the same.”

Liu Xiu smiled.

“You mean, you still have a backup plan?”

Big Sister stretched her neck.

Seeing Liu Xiu speak so confidently, she felt relieved.

That’s right!

How could such a senior disappear without leaving a backup plan?

“Wait and see, Big Sister! If anything happens to me, you take Xu Fang and the others and leave. If nothing happens, then after this the small town will be more stable.”

“Alright then!”

That night, in the Zhou family’s secret room.

The young man picked up a bottle of red medicine and sniffed it.

“That’s the smell!”

He had spent a lot of effort to find countless materials, wasted countless medicinal herbs, and failed countless times to refine it.

For such a bottle of medicine, he had almost used up all of the Zhou family’s wealth.

If it weren’t for the fact that there were many more people and businesses in the city in the past two years, the Zhou family would have profited greatly from it.

It was likely that the Zhou clan would have been crippled by him because of his cultivation.

“No matter what, I have to do my best to raise my strength. Even if it’s just a little bit. With a little bit more strength, there will be a little more assurance and a little more chance of survival.”

After drinking the medicine, the young man sat down to start his cultivation.

The next morning, the young man woke up.

He checked his cultivation and found that it had indeed increased a little.

If he wanted to make such progress by relying on cultivation, he would need at least a month.

It was not bad to reduce the time for cultivation by a month.

Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, the young man began his day’s work.

He held a meeting to arrange the work for the day.

“Young master, isn’t our Zhou family business closed? Many businesses in the city are closed.”

Seeing that the young man continued to work, the butler could not help but go forward and ask.

“No, it’s their own problem if the other businesses are closed. Isn’t it good for our Zhou family if they are closed?”

The young man glanced at the key point and said.

“Young master, recently, there has been unrest in and out of the city. The shops of the Liu family are all closed. If we open the market, will it…”

“The more unstable it is, the more we have to open the market. If our Zhou family business is closed, then something big will really happen in the city.”

“Yes!”

The sun rose.

Many merchants in the city saw the Zhou family’s shops open their doors and opened their stores one after another.

“Have you all gone mad? If people outside the city were to charge in, you wouldn’t even have time to close your doors.”

“Then if the Zhou family’s stores are all open, why aren’t we opening our own? If the Zhou family isn’t afraid, what’s there to be afraid of in our small store?”

“What you said makes sense!”

..

“Zhou Kun is crazy!”

When some foreign merchants saw what happened, they didn’t dare to believe it.

Where did the small Zhou family get their confidence from?

Those outside were bandits.

There were over ten thousand bandits, and each of them had their own unique skills.

“Master, the Liu family’s stores are also open!”

Deng Deng

At this time, a butler ran in.

“Hmph! They are trying to use the opening of the market to stabilize the morale of the soldiers in the city. In fact, whether they open the market or not is not of much use to them. Once the tens of thousands of bandits enter the city, they will lose their property. It is better to open the market to stabilize the morale of the warriors in the city.”

“Then our shop…”

“No, prepare to move! The more the Zhou and Liu families do not care about the bandits outside the city, the more it means that they are panicking. Right now, the city does not have the strength to resist outside the city.”

“Master, I’m afraid we can’t move.”

Outside more than ten thousand warriors slowly approached the small city.

The warriors who had been staring at the outside of the city immediately panicked.

Before the bandits could get close, the entire small city was covered by dark clouds.

“Run! The bandits are going to enter the city.”

Shouts came from afar.

Boom!

In an instant, the entire city exploded like a torrential rain.

The people who were afraid could no longer suppress the fear in their hearts.

This was especially so for the refugees who fled into the city from elsewhere.

Their hearts could not withstand the shock, and they were even more sensitive to danger.

In an instant, the originally peaceful streets suddenly had many people carrying luggage.

This caused the hearts of the local residents in the city to panic.

“Run! The bandits are about to enter the city!”

The refugees carried their own children and rushed out of the city.

“What’s there to be afraid of? Even if the bandits enter the city, there will be tall people to hold them off.”

The local residents cursed as they began to pack their things.

Seeing the refugees leave the city safely, the local residents quickly packed their things.

But on second thought, where could they go after leaving the city?

Those refugees already had no home.

Naturally, there was nothing to remember about the small city. Everywhere was their home.

Once these locals left the small city, everything would be gone.

“After leaving the city, who can guarantee that we can live well? I’m afraid that even if we live, there will be problems!”

“Don’t leave. The Liu family and the Zhou family haven’t moved. What are we leaving for? Later, when the bandits enter the city, we’ll just hide in the cellar.”

..

After careful consideration, most of the people in the city still chose to stay in the city.

In Zhou family.

There were people constantly entering the young man’s study to report the current situation in the city.

“The Liu family didn’t leave either? Could it be that they have some trump cards? Or, they are also reluctant to part with the city’s foundation and decided to take a gamble?”

“Young master, I think it’s impossible! The remaining members of the Liu clan are all women. When bandits enter the city, what will happen to thee women… I’m afraid…”

“I’m afraid they’re all ready to fight to the death?”

Zhou Kun’s slanted eyes were full of doubt.action
