Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

After entering the mansion, the woman with a pretty face had no room to speak, so she was sent away by Su Dinglun. He took Su Dingyu and Meng Zhao into a room on the west side of the mansion, poured tea, prepared cakes, and said,
"Brother Meng, you don't have to feel any psychological pressure. I brought you here to express my sincerity. What we are going to do today is very big. If things go wrong, not only will the three of us die, but all the people involved with the three of us will also die.

However, if we succeed, our profits will be incalculable. At least, if the three of us do this, we will have enough to feed our three generations of descendants."

Meng Zhao was even more surprised after hearing this. He took a sip of the bitter tea and asked in confusion,
"Actually, I still don't understand. If you two are planning such a big event, why would you choose me? And why are you so sure that I will participate and will not ruin your big event?"

This is indeed a very strange thing because there is too much uncertainty involved.

Meng Zhao was a complete stranger to them and they knew nothing about his background, but it was really irrational to entrust them with such a matter of life and death. If anything went wrong in any link, they would probably all die without a burial place.

Su Dinglun sighed, shook his head and said,
"Brother Meng, we have no other choice. A few days ago, we were set up and fell into a trap. We owe a large sum of money. If we can't pay it back, we will have no way to survive. We have no choice but to give it a try.

You are indeed not the best choice, but it is also the choice we have no choice but to make.

We have to do something tonight, but we don't have a suitable person. Your appearance finally gives us some hope.

Therefore, even if you know it is a risk, a gamble, you have to do it.”

Then the Sudinis said,

“Based on the skills of observing people that we have learned, you have a great talent for martial arts. Of course, we don’t have any internal martial arts for you to practice, but we can still teach you a few external martial arts.

Although you only have a little time, no more than five hours, it is still much better than the average person."

Through the two people's stories, and since they did not lie, Meng Zhao finally understood why they came to him.

The root cause is still one word: money.

The two guys now owe others a large sum of money. If they can't pay it back, they will be in trouble. The other party is very powerful. Although they have the background of the Su family and the Three Lions Gang, they have to abide by the rules in the county. The Su family cannot do whatever they want, not to mention that they are just two servants.

There was no other choice but to find ways to generate income. It would definitely not be enough to generate income through normal means, so the two of them thought of using some unorthodox means to make a big profit and earn enough money to last them the rest of their lives.

To do such a thing, two people are certainly not enough, as the number of people is too small. At least three people are needed, or even more.

It would be best if this matter could not be linked to anyone in the county, otherwise, there would be too many hidden dangers in the future and they could be easily linked to them through any clues.

Therefore, the two of them thought of country people, or even outsiders. In this way, their backgrounds would have nothing to do with them, thus eliminating hidden dangers to the greatest extent.

In Kaiyan County, in fact, over the years, a large number of country people, after moving to the city, could no longer make a living and finally chose to become fierce bandits who risked their lives. The world is big, money is the most important thing, and no one can be left unkilled.

That really brought about a period of blood and gore. Although 99% of them ended up badly and more people died than the locals, it also showed how ferocious these outsiders were.

Therefore, the two of them stayed near the city gate for several days to select suitable people.

Finally, they took a fancy to Meng Zhao and came looking for him.

Firstly, they had tested Meng Zhao before and recognized that this young man from the country was a fierce and ruthless man, not a fake who only talked big. In terms of what he did, he was a bit foolish and bold, and dared to do anything.

Secondly, Meng Zhao is tall and strong, has a talent for martial arts, and his initial physical talent is also quite good. Therefore, he is a usable combat force.

The combination of the two, plus the lack of time, did not even allow them to continue to be picky, before they finally made the decision.

"Well, since you two trust me so much, I will never let you down. As the saying goes, when a man dies, the birds fly back to the sky. If a man does not die, he will live forever.

When you're out there making money, you're not afraid of working hard, but you're afraid of losing hope. Since I can do something big and make a lot of money, I naturally won't refuse.

However, you have to tell me what exactly you are doing, how big the risk is, and what kind of situation and situation you might face afterwards!"

Su Dinglun smiled, stood up and walked to a corner of the room, rummaging around for a while, and finally found a long sword. He held it in his hand and said,

"If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. I will tell you what to do specifically, but I want to teach you something first. After you learn it, you can naturally improve your martial arts skills. It will not only be very helpful for tonight's work, but in the future, you will also have more tricks, and it is not impossible for you to make a name for yourself."

After saying that, Su Dinglun drew his sword from its sheath, and in the not-so-wide space, he wielded the ordinary long sword in his hand, causing cold light to fly, sword shadows to shuttle, and sharp gusts of wind to even make Meng Zhao's cheeks rise.

Meng Zhao recognized immediately that this was the result of practicing strong energy. Otherwise, relying solely on his physical strength and sword skills, there would be no such momentum and overflowing energy.

After performing the long sword technique, Su Dinglun said,

"This sword technique is called Phantom. It is agile, swift, graceful and dreamy. It is especially good at group fights. It is a sword technique that uses a small number of people to defeat a large number of people.

I will pass on to you the moves, main points, and essentials of this sword technique one by one, and you should learn it carefully.

With your aptitude, it is not difficult to master this sword technique. Of course, if you want to truly practice the art and get to the essence of it, it will take at least a few years of hard work. In a short period of time, it is enough to bluff people."

After that, he started talking about the moves, key points, and even some of the footwork and body movements of this Phantom Sword Technique.

This is definitely a costly investment.

In Meng Zhao's opinion, this phantom sword technique alone is much more valuable than the set of grappling techniques and deadly stabbing techniques that Zhou Zhihan passed on to him combined, because this is not an elementary martial art, it is a truly advanced level of swordsmanship, and can be said to be a mid-level sword technique, rather than a basic one.

Meng Zhao is of course a martial arts master. After watching it once, he has basically grasped the essence of this sword technique. However, now that he has changed his identity, he follows Su Dinglun to learn according to his character.

However, he still maintained a very high level of learning, which made Su Dinglun and Su Dingyu exclaim that they had not made a mistake. He was indeed a martial arts genius. With such talent and potential, if he practiced internal martial arts, I am afraid his achievements would be extremely high.

Of course, they do know the internal martial arts, but they would never pass them on to Meng Zhao.

What they learned was all taught by the Su family. Without the Su family's consent, they would not even be qualified to pass it on to their descendants, unless, one day, they defected from the Su family.

They waited like this until dark. Meng Zhao and the other two had dinner in the yard, took a hot bath, changed into black night clothes, and then gathered in the house again.

At this time, there were three long swords and three sleeve crossbows displayed on the table.

“This long sword was purchased from other places, and the three sleeve crossbows were obtained from the government. There is no need to worry about the weapons exposing flaws.

Let's talk about this operation, Brother Meng. Since you have been wanting to know what we are going to do tonight, I will explain it to you clearly. "

As he spoke, Su Dinglun began to talk about their goal, how to act tonight, and how to deal with the aftermath after the plan.

Let’s talk about the target first. These two people are extremely brave and they actually want to attack their own Three Lions Chamber of Commerce.

Through top-secret information, the two of them learned that a large amount of gold ingots would be shipped in from other places tonight. There seemed to be twenty boxes, and each box contained about one hundred yellow croakers, which could be said to be a huge fortune.

Nominally, this gold was part of the Su family Chamber of Commerce's income. After being converted into gold, it was brought into the Su family.

Logically speaking, there would be absolutely no accidents or opportunities for the two to take advantage of.

But, here's the tricky part. The Su family seemed to have an internal dispute over this fortune. In the end, they decided to temporarily hide the gold in a secret place in the city and send someone to guard it.

Meng Zhao immediately raised an objection.

"There must be something fishy here. Even if there is a dispute, the money must be brought into the Su family before it can be distributed. There is no reason to keep it outside. Is there something else you haven't told me?"

Sudin nodded, with approval in his eyes.
"You're right. You should have heard what Alan said just now. He was talking about the name, not the fact.

Nominally, it is part of the income of the Su family Chamber of Commerce. In fact, I am afraid that this large amount of gold is also smuggled goods. I don’t know where the Su family got it from, and its origin is not very clean.

They were afraid that trouble would arise from the gold, so they found another place to put it. If any problem really did occur, they could pass on the responsibility and not get into complete trouble.

This is my guess.

Alan, on the other hand, believed that there was no doubt that the gold was illicit goods, but the Su family was probably just the handlers rather than the beneficiaries. Eventually, the gold would still flow elsewhere, so they specially found a place to put it.

Anyway, this news cannot be wrong, we have confirmed it again and again."

Meng Zhao nodded. This made more sense.

Whether they were afraid of trouble, or the Su family was just a transit station and the gold would have another destination, it meant that the money would not be allowed to see the light of day.

The actions of Meng Zhao and the other two tonight can be considered as black eating black.

If you do it, you will definitely get into big trouble.

Apart from anything else, since the two of them knew so much, it must be because of their relationship with the Su family's servants that they learned the news from certain people.

If this thing really happens tonight, it will be exposed sooner or later.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask,

"If we accomplish this tonight, it will definitely alert the Su family and they will investigate the matter thoroughly. Have you two thought of a way out?"

Su Dinglun nodded.

"Brother Meng is indeed smart, so we won't hide it from you.

After tonight, we will leave Kaiyan City and go to another place to hide our identities. As for Brother Meng, you are a newcomer and have nothing to do with the whole thing. As long as you don't foolishly reveal your tracks or expose your weaknesses, you will never be found out.

Also, you don't have to worry, we won't take advantage of you.

The two of us will take 80%, and you will take 20%. Is that a problem?"

Meng Zhao looked a little dissatisfied, but after a careful calculation, he was very happy and said,

"Well, since you guys have been doing the preparations from the beginning to the end, this allocation is reasonable."

Meng Zhao actually already knew that these two people had bad intentions.

The simplest and most crucial point.

What if Meng Zhao was really a countryman who had just arrived and had obtained such a huge fortune?

It is very likely that he would live a life of debauchery and extravagance, and it is inevitable that he would be exposed and become a tool for the Su family to vent their anger.

Well, even if Meng Zhao could control his desires, this set of phantom swordsmanship was definitely a big pitfall.

Phantom Sword Technique might be the Su family's martial arts. Su Dinglun taught him this martial art, and before that, he deliberately guided him to join the Three Lions Gang.

If he really joins the Three Lions Gang in the future, as long as the news of this sword technique leaks out, he will inevitably become a target of suspicion by the Su family.

What's more, Meng Zhao is so talented and has such a powerful sword technique. He will definitely study hard and practice diligently, and by then, his true colors will be exposed.

Anyway, if Meng Zhao was really an ordinary person, he would definitely be tortured to death by these two old bastards.

Meng Zhao also felt that they would probably not harm him.

Because they needed Meng Zhao to buy them a little time and eliminate the Su family's resentment.

But Meng Zhao had an idea in his mind.

He had originally planned to make a fortune in this county and accumulate money so that he could prepare for practicing martial arts, purchasing medicinal herbs, and refining secret medicines in the future.

Now, it’s better to just go with the flow.

This wealth is really huge.

Gold is the hard currency of the Tianyuan Dynasty and is extremely valuable.

Even if you need to use it in the future, you can change your appearance and trade it in disguise.

But there is one more thing worth noting.

"What should we do with all this gold? There are so many boxes, can't we carry them back bit by bit?"

Su Dinglun smiled.
"Don't worry, we have already thought about these things. We have prepared methods for transportation and diverted attention. In short, we will transport the gold back safely. You just wait for your share of the money.

By the way, what we said before about helping you join the Three Lions Gang still stands, so you should consider it carefully.

With this gold, you can join the Three Lions Gang in the future. Money will pave the way for you to learn internal martial arts. Your future is limitless."

Meng Zhao smiled,

"That's all for later. Let's get the gold first!"

Meng Zhao has made up his mind that since he is already robbing the thieves, he might as well eat them all.

From the beginning to the end, it was these two people who took the initiative to find him. It was a windfall given by God.

If you don't accept the gift from heaven, you will suffer the consequences.

As for these two people, they should not hide their identities, but directly become the nutrients of Kaiyan City and nourish this city. This is their best ending. (End of this chapter)
