Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 300: Demonstration
An uproar!
The soldiers of An Ning Wei never expected that Hong Meng would directly challenge Li Rui.

What is Li Rui's identity?
A soldier of An Ning Wei.

God of War of Qinghe!
Generally speaking, fighting in the military camp is limited to soldiers and ordinary officers. As the chief officer of An Ning Wei, Li Rui is certainly not ordinary.

The chief officer usually does not fight openly because winning brings no glory and losing brings shame.

It is not good for majesty.

This is almost a consensus among the major officials.

Fists and feet have no eyes, once you get on the field, there will definitely be a winner and a loser.

If we lose, the loss will be huge.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

'It turned out to be aimed at me.'

He could tell at a glance that today's plan was clearly set up by Hong Meng in order to deal with him.

Ning Zhongtian and that burly man were just an introduction.

He is the real target.

Hong Meng chuckled and said, "That's right. Lord Li is old, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't do anything. I don't want to be known as someone who bullies the old and weak."

As soon as the words fell.

The soldiers of An Ningwei became even more indignant.

What do you mean?
Is this a mockery of the fact that they joined the army because they are old and weak?

It is true that Li Rui is old, but among warriors there is never any mention of women, children, the elderly and the weak.

It's clearly a slap in the face.

Slap An Ningwei in the face!

Li Rui did not answer immediately, but looked at Hong Meng quietly, then smiled gently: "Since Brother Hong wants to try, then I, an old man, will stretch my muscles."

When the An Ning Wei soldiers heard this, they were shocked.

Li Rui accepted the challenge!
"Lord Li will win!"

"Fuck him!"

The young guys all got excited and started howling again.

Hong Meng grinned: "Master Li, I am sorry for the offence."

He doesn't use weapons.

He twisted his wrist and walked up to Li Rui.

"please."

Seeing this, Li Rui did not move his knife: "Brother Hong, I will try to be gentle, don't worry."

"??"

Before Hong Meng could react, a gust of strong wind blew towards him.

"grass!"

He cursed under his breath.

I didn't expect that the old man in front of me was so unsportsmanlike and started fighting before I even finished speaking.

"Then you can't blame me."

Hong Meng's face turned cold, and he bent his waist, barely avoiding Li Rui's attack.

Then the true energy in the whole body rises.

In an instant, the shadow of a sledgehammer as tall as a person appeared in his hand.

Picture of giant hammer smashing the sky!
Hong Meng's qi shape is exactly hammer shape.

As we all know, the qi in the shape of weapons has great killing power and should not be underestimated.

Anyone who has been to the battlefield knows that sharp weapons are not necessarily the most terrifying. Blunt weapons are the ones that can really kill people, and hammer-shaped weapons are even more domineering.

A strong wind arose.

The dust that was raised above the parade ground made it impossible to open one's eyes.

Hong Meng looked confident.

He had heard long ago that even Yuan Xiong lost in a fight with swords, so he would definitely not be a match for Li Rui if he used weapons. That's why he found an excuse at the beginning and said he would not use weapons.

Lord Yuan appointed Yunzhou's best swordsman, and if he were to compete with Li Rui in weapons, he would be courting death.

So he wanted to compete with Li Rui in internal strength.

To put pressure on people.

"I have already become the rising moon. I don't believe I can't crush you, an old man who has just entered the sea!"

He naturally knew that Li Rui's aura was very good.

It is in the shape of a dragon.

However, no matter how high the dragon form's grade is, it is useless in the face of absolute numbers.

He just wanted to crush Li Rui with the vast amount of true energy.

Li Rui looked at the shadow of the huge hammer coming towards him without any panic.

boom!
A dragon roar sounded, and his right hand supported the sky, as if there was a dragon shadow surrounding it, and he grabbed the sledgehammer.

An invisible shock wave surged between the hand hammers.

Hong Meng's pupils suddenly shrank.

An extremely domineering and powerful true energy violently rushed into the tendons and veins.

A muffled groan.

Continuously retreating.

Seeing this scene, there was an explosion of cheers in the parade grounds.

Hong Meng's mouth was bleeding, and he stared at Li Rui fiercely: "Master Li has a good method!"

Li Rui put his hands behind his back and smiled slightly:
"General Hong, thank you for letting me."

Hong Meng's face was gloomy. He was about to continue when he heard a familiar voice: "Okay, let's stop here. You don't mind the shame, but I do."

The crowd dispersed.

Nie Siming walked over and looked at Hong Meng coldly.

"Yes, General."

When Hong Meng saw Nie Siming appear, he didn't dare to say anything more.

She obediently followed Nie Siming and left the training ground.

Nie Siming walked away.

The soldiers of An Ning Guard surrounded Li Rui.

"Master Li is mighty!"

"I said, that jerk is no match for our Lord Li."

"Yes, yes."

Their faces flushed with excitement.

Li Rui smiled and waved his hand: "Let's go to training, everyone disperse."

Hear Li Rui's order.

The group of people then left with reluctance, and soon only Li Rui, Ning Zhongtian and Ge Hong were left in the center of the parade ground.

Ning Zhongtian looked at Li Rui with some shame: "Brother, I'm sorry for bringing shame to you."

Li Rui laughed angrily:

"I don't have any face, let alone the idea of ​​losing face."

"He came after me."

"I should apologize to my fourth brother."

The reason why he took action just now was certainly not because he couldn't stand Hong Meng's ridicule.

At his age, he has heard too many bad words and no longer cares about them.

But if today's matter doesn't have a result, there will be endless troubles in the future.

As the saying goes, hit with one punch to avoid a hundred punches.

Li Rui decided to publicize it and teach Hong Meng a lesson.

Ning Zhongtian was stunned when he heard this: "Are you here for my brother?"

"Ah."

Li Rui nodded: "This Hong Meng was born in a sect, and was once the elder of Yunzhou Hanbing Sect. Later, he went to the northwest. He has been gone for dozens of years. Most of the people in Yunzhou have long forgotten this old story."

"There is some conflict between our Tiandi Alliance and Hanbing Sect, and they came here specifically to offend me."

One listen.

Ning Zhongtian suddenly understood.

It turns out that this is the reason why he was beaten for no reason today.

No wonder he was chosen among the five garrisons of An Ning Guard.

Ge Hong was puzzled: "Brother Li, how did you know that?" Before he opened a martial arts school in Qinghe, he had been hanging around Yunzhou. Even he had no memory of such trivial matters. How could Li Rui know it so clearly?

Li Rui smiled slightly: "Wang Li told me."

Ning Zhongtian and Ge Hong were stunned.

Then she smiled.

"Big brother has many connections."

This is the importance of information, otherwise you won’t even know how you suffered the loss.

Nothing can be done.

When doing business, you are bound to offend people, but you can't stop doing business just because you offend people.

If we don’t do business, where will the elixir come from? Where will the immortal soldiers come from?

It's just a small thing.

Li Rui patted Ning Zhongtian on the shoulder and said, "Fourth brother, Brother Ge, practice some more physical skills. For those who live in the underworld, whether you can kill someone is secondary, and being able to withstand a beating is the first priority."

"."

Ning Zhongtian and Ge Hong were speechless.

Ge Hong: "Well, I should find two books on horizontal training to learn. It would be even better if there is a Buddhist Vajra Gong."

Saw this scene today.

He just understands.

Those who want to take action against Li Rui often do not target Li Rui directly, but start with people around him.

He and Ning Zhongtian are both perfect candidates.

You must practice how to take a beating.

"Hurry, hurry, be quick and clean up the demon pen for me."

"Master Yan will come to see us later."

"If you displease Lord Yan, I will make you pay. Get out of here!"

A burly man was walking in a square step, holding a whip in his hand.

"You bully people with your power."

A tall young man muttered quietly.

"You don't want to die!"

Another short guy of the same age lowered his voice and said that the two boys were from the same village and came to the city to make a living. They were favored by the manager of the demon pen because of their strong physique.

The tall young man still looked dissatisfied: "I know."

The short young man had been here for half a month, and was already half an old man. He pulled the tall young man’s sleeve, pointed at a corner of the demon pen, and said:

"There's something strange there. Agou died there before. Don't go there."

"Not many people know about this. I'm telling you because you're my brother."

When the tall young man heard Agou's name, he was suddenly startled.

Agou.

Also from the same village.

I heard that he suddenly disappeared a few days ago, and then, nothing happened.

People go missing in the demon pen every now and then, and we’ve gotten used to it.

As long as you don't run away.

They can get a fairly generous pension, and their family members will be happy and will not pursue the matter.

"okay, I get it."

The tall boy looked a few more times at the place the short boy pointed.

In that demon cage lived a harmless-looking little fox, which had nothing to do with the man-eating monster that the short boy had described.

He once asked.

Why don't you tell the steward about this?

The shorter boy just smiled.

"Do you think they will care if you tell them? A monster is more valuable than ten human lives. This is an easy calculation. Telling them will only result in a beating. It's useless."

The above is what the short boy said at the time.

In Yaolan, the death of a person is a very normal thing.

They were all ordinary villagers from the villages outside the city. As long as they were given some pension money, their death would be theirs, and their families would not report to the authorities. Of course, even if they did, it would be useless because Yaolan was originally run by the Municipal Trade Bureau.

The wages paid by Yaolan are several times higher than those at the dock. The greater the profit, the greater the risk. If someone dies, you can't blame others.

This is probably how a young boy named Agou from the same village died.

Just as the tall boy was lost in his memories.

Suddenly, I heard loud shouting and the sound of pigtails snapping.

He shuddered suddenly.

I saw a young man not far away being kicked to the ground by the steward. The whip was raised high and was about to fall. Once it landed, the result would be that his skin and flesh would be torn to pieces.

The young men in the demon pen couldn't help but close their eyes.

At this time-

A loud shout came from outside the demon fence:
"Master Yan is here!"

The manager's whip froze in the air, as if he had changed his expression, and all the ferocity on his face disappeared. He quickly threw the whip onto the demon cage beside him, and trotted out of the demon pen.

Soon.

Several people dressed in gorgeous clothes walked in.

"Master Li, I'll tell you, you can rest assured in the Demon Fence."

Yan Zhongxing said to Li Rui.

today.

Yan Zhongxing specially invited Li Rui to inspect Yaolan, of course, for the purpose of getting more silver.

Li Rui looked at the demon pen that was spotlessly clean with a smile.

My heart is as clear as a mirror.

He used to work as a groom in the Zhu family. The stable was the same as the demon cage. It was impossible for it to be so clean. They must have been notified in advance and cleaned it overnight.

See through, don’t say through.

Li Rui followed Yan Zhongxing and took a tour around the monster pen.

Seeing the skinny boy in the demon pen, he said jokingly: "Master Yan, how can these children work if they don't have enough food? The food in the demon pen needs to be improved."

Yan Zhongxing laughed and said, "Brother Li is right."

"You, remember to get this done."

Yan Zhongxing casually gave a few instructions to the officials around him.

It’s just adding a few dishes, it doesn’t cost much.

But when these young men in the demon cage heard about this, it was indeed great news.

For a moment, I felt admiration and affinity for Li Rui, this kind-looking old man.

When Li Rui was about to walk to a corner of the demon pen——

A tall young man suddenly said, "Sir, it's dirty there, we can't go there."

Li Rui paused.

He turned his head to look at the young man and smiled: "Thank you."

But these words were like thunder to the ears of the demon guard. He was so angry that his fingers trembled wildly and he wanted to tear the boy into pieces.

Li Rui saw all of this:

"Master Yan, I have some interest in this kid. Can I take him away?"

Yan Zhongxing said indifferently: "If Lord Li likes me, I will take me away."

All of a sudden, all the young men in the demon pen were as jealous as rabbits.

It was obvious that the old official was of high status.

This is simply a great thing that is soaring to the sky.

The tall boy's eyes widened, and for a moment he couldn't believe what he heard.

Li Rui chatted with Yan Zhongxing for a while.

It's probably the same things.

Regarding the issue of whether to pay or not, Li Rui finally agreed to pay more, but the number of demon cages of the Tiandi Alliance also had to be increased.

Finally, the two of them walked out of the demon pen with satisfaction.

And in the corner of the demon pen.

A fiery red little fox stared at Li Rui with a human-like excitement.
