Chapter 305 The target of public criticism
Xiaxu, Xinglong Restaurant.

Zhang Yuan sat by the window on the second floor, tasting this year's newly brewed peach blossom wine while listening to the conversations of the drinkers.

He had no reliable intelligence channels in the city, so places like teahouses and taverns where people gathered naturally became the best places to get information.

Of course, the news heard in these places is true and false, and many rumors are absurd and bizarre.

Screening and selection are required.

But there are some real things, and quite a lot of them.

Zhang Yuan had been sitting there for nearly half an hour, and his mood was far from being as calm and composed as he appeared.

He didn't expect that the Li family, which had suffered a great loss, would actually give in and take the initiative to withdraw all the reward notices.

Moreover, Zhang Yuan's "Zhao Yun" alias has become a well-known figure in the city.

He is a ruthless character who can make the dignified Xiaxu Li family suffer a setback!
Although several days have passed since the Battle of Taiwu Mountain, Zhao Yun is still very much talked about.

For example, in this Xinglong Restaurant, at least three or four out of ten tables are talking about him!
In the mouths of these drinkers, Zhang Yuan's image was completely distorted.

Some said that he was eight feet tall and had a waist circumference of eight feet, and was as brave and ferocious as a bear.

One person killed the Li family and caused a river of blood!
Some also say that the Li family became furious after suffering a loss, and their ancestor Li Shentong broke through the pass, found Zhao Yun and fought with him for three hundred rounds, resulting in both sides suffering losses.

The Li family suffered heavy losses and had to give up.

Some people also say that Zhao Yun was not alone, and that he had the support of a powerful family behind him, so he could compete on equal terms with the Li family.

Zhang Yuan was speechless after hearing all these things.

He felt that behind these seemingly absurd and untrue rumors, there were people or forces fanning the flames.

But no matter whether the news was true or false, everyone agreed that the Li family suffered a great loss and lost face.

Many people speak of it in a tone of gloating.

Zhang Yuan also heard a piece of news, which was said to have come from the Li family.

It is said that Zhao Yun possesses an extremely powerful mysterious weapon.

It was with the help of this powerful mysterious weapon that he killed the fifth-level strongman of the Li family, making the Li family dare not continue to retaliate.

Zhang Yuan knew clearly that the source of this news should be true.

The Li family probably really doesn't want to fight him anymore, or chooses to cut losses in time.

But they obviously couldn't swallow this.

So he deliberately leaked the news to make Zhang Yuan the target of public criticism.

The mysterious weapon wielded by a fourth-level expert could actually defeat a fifth-level expert.

Who wouldn’t want a treasure like this?

It's just that the Li family accidentally guessed part of the facts.

But they would never dream that what Zhang Yuan possessed was not a mysterious weapon at all.

But it is a magic weapon!
Otherwise, Li Shentong, the ancestor of the Li family, would definitely go crazy and would kill Zhang Yuan and seize the magic weapon at all costs.

Despite this, this method of diverting trouble away is bound to bring Zhang Yuan considerable trouble.

I have to say that this move by the Li family is really disgusting.

Zhang Yuan drank the remaining wine in the glass, with a thousand thoughts running through his mind.

He is not afraid of trouble.

But he would never allow the Li family to take advantage of him. He must find an opportunity to stab them hard again.

Even if it means provoking Li Shentong, a sixth-level strongman, it doesn't matter!

Otherwise the thoughts will not be clear.

But now is not a good time for revenge, and Zhang Yuan lacks understanding of the Li family's situation.

So we have to think long-term.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yuan called the waiter to settle the bill and left the restaurant leisurely.

He did not continue to wander around in the ruins, but went straight back to Xishan Market.

What Zhang Yuan didn't expect was that before he reached his home, he discovered through the red-eyed crow that there was a person standing in front of the door.

Recently, Zhang Yuan has been very careful and vigilant.

Although he had just received news from Xucheng that the Li family had given up the bounty on him, Zhang Yuan did not dare to be careless.

Maybe the Li family did this just to make him relax his vigilance, secretly accumulating strength to give him a fatal blow.

It is entirely possible.

Because Zhang Yuan used red-eyed crows as scouts whenever he entered and left Xishanji, to guard against the enemy's sneak attacks.

But the middle-aged man standing in front of his house did not look like an enemy.

Zhang Yuan calmly gave the Red-Eyed Crow an order for close reconnaissance, and then activated its special perspective.

Insight into the other person's life breath!
The level five red-eyed crow's ability to detect the life breath of living creatures has expanded to a range of two to three hundred steps.

Therefore, Zhang Yuan saw through the strength of this uninvited guest at a glance.

He only has the second-level dark energy cultivation.

With such strength, Zhang Yuan could not break his iron shirt no matter how hard his opponent attacked.

So Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and then walked over quickly.

See what the other party is up to!

The middle-aged man was looking around in front of the door, looking a little anxious.

When he noticed Zhang Yuan's appearance, he immediately perked up and took the initiative to greet him.

From a distance, he bowed respectfully and said, "Excuse me, sir, are you Lord Zhao Yun?"

Zhang Yuan paused and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Sir, I am just a nobody, and I was asked to deliver something to you."

As he spoke, he took off the bag on his back and took out a silk paper scroll from it.

Then he held it up with both hands, bent down and presented it to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward and took the scroll from the other party.

He concentrated his energy in his palm and was not afraid of the other party playing any tricks.

There is actually nothing wrong with the scroll.

In front of the middle-aged man, Zhang Yuan unfolded the scroll and saw a large amount of text densely written on the paper.

The contents are all related to the Li family of Xiaxu.

These include information on important members of the Li family, a list of the Li family’s many industries in and outside the city, and so on.

Very detailed and thorough.

Zhang Yuan didn't finish reading it, he just put it away and asked, "That's it?"

The middle-aged man replied respectfully, "Yes, sir."

"okay."

Zhang Yuan nodded: "I'll take the things, you can go back now."

The middle-aged man bowed and said, "I'll take my leave."

Zhang Yuan watched the other person leave until his back completely disappeared from his sight.

interesting!
Zhang Yuan weighed the heavy scroll in his hand, his eyes revealing a thoughtful look.

He didn't know who got this intelligence information, or which force had specifically passed it to him.

There is no need to ask the messenger. It is useless to ask as the other party is definitely not aware of the matter.

But Zhang Yuan can be sure that the mastermind behind the scenes must be at odds with the Li family, and may even have a deep hatred for them.

Coincidentally, when Zhang Yuan was in the restaurant before, he was thinking about finding an opportunity to stab the Li family.

As a result, someone immediately sent information about the Li family over.

It's obvious that they are using him as a knife!
And this is not a conspiracy, it is a clear open conspiracy.

Zhang Yuan stood in front of the door and pondered for a moment. Just as he was about to open the door and go into the house, he suddenly had an idea.

He turned his head and looked towards the path leading to his home.
