Chapter 487: Checkpoint
"What's coming?" Yang An asked.

Li Ming shook his head and said, "The fun is about to begin."

As he spoke, Li Ming stretched out his body, and the bones all over his body made a crackling sound.

There was a cool breeze on the official road. The cold wind in August made people feel a little cold, and they couldn't help but want to tighten their clothes.

Suddenly there was a traffic jam ahead and the caravan's carriages and horses all stopped.

As they got closer, Yang An lifted the curtains on the car. Ning Cai had already walked over and whispered, "Someone set up a checkpoint ahead without authorization. Manager Wu went to negotiate."

This is different from highway robbery. Highway robbery mostly relies on force and often has to fear being surrounded by government soldiers. However, setting up checkpoints and charging fees is different.

Most of those who can do such things have great backgrounds, either they are powerful or have complicated connections. Even if you report them to the government offices at all levels, it will most likely end up in nothing. Some martial arts sects that don't know how to make a living will set up checkpoints privately, making it even more difficult for the government to control them, so they can only turn a blind eye.

Li Ming then asked, "Who set up this checkpoint?"

Ning Cai choked up and said, "Shopkeeper Wu said that there was no such card originally. We don't know yet."

Yang An saw through the curtains that there were many men and women hanging on several big trees beside the road. They all looked young.

Li Ming said, "He's probably a young man who wants to stand up for justice and fight for justice. It's a pity that his skills don't seem to be very good."

At this time, Manager Wu trotted back to the front of the team and to Zhu Songci's carriage.

At this moment, Ma Hongyuan had already walked forward with his horse. Li Ming chuckled and said, "Let's go watch the show."

"Master, aren't you going to take action?" Yang An asked.

"I have to do everything for you. Isn't that embarrassing? Master, I have to do the work for you. From now on, you have to do it for me, okay?" Li Ming kept mumbling.

Yang An laughed and said, "Then I have to wait until my ability becomes stronger. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disgrace to Master?"

"You kid?" Li Ming smiled and pointed at Yang An's nose and said, "I won't treat you unfairly. I'm just afraid you won't be able to learn my skills!"

As they were talking, the two of them had already walked to the front. Seeing Ma Hongyuan moving forward alone, the crowd naturally dispersed.

Some people are born with a unique temperament that can attract everyone's attention. Obviously, Ma Hongyuan is such a person.

"Young man, do you have any advice for me?"

In a roadside shed, a middle-aged man with a ruddy face who was drinking tea walked over slowly. He first clasped his hands together, looked Ma Hongyuan up and down, and then said, "Our Three Eagles Village is newly established, and we are just about to establish some rules. I see that you are a fellow martial artist, so please don't make a mistake and pay the money honestly. Otherwise, the young heroes here will be a warning to you!"

"Three Eagles Village?" Ma Hongyuan laughed and said, "I've never heard of it."

Then he turned to the people behind him and asked, "Has anyone heard of this?"

Everyone laughed and answered, "Never heard of it!"

"Who are these scumbags who dare to set up a checkpoint here?" Ma Hongyuan's face suddenly changed, and he said very seriously, "You set up a checkpoint privately to accept tolls, which violates the laws of Daxia. Do you know your crime?" The middle-aged man with a ruddy face became even redder, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"It seems that you want to make things difficult for us?"

"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?" Ma Hongyuan laughed, as if he didn't take him seriously.

"That depends on how much you are capable of!!!"

The red-faced man roared and punched Ma Hongyuan in the face.

Just as he said, their Sanying Village had just established a foothold here. Today was the first day they set up checkpoints and collected fees. They were just trying to make a name for themselves, so their attacks at this moment were naturally fierce and swift, like thunder and lightning out of the blue, with a fierce fist wind blowing in their faces.

Ma Hongyuan remained calm. Although he was injured at the moment, he was definitely not someone who could be hurt by such a third-rate character. He just moved half a step away and stepped on the place where the man's strength was exhausted.

He immediately spread out his hands and drew his sword, but did not pull out the sword. He just poked him with the hilt and immediately hit three of his major acupoints.

The red-faced man's body immediately stiffened and he could hardly move, but the expression on his face became extremely terrified.

Ma Hongyuan shook his head and said, "I wonder how much this is?"

Bang bang bang.
At this moment, a burst of applause was heard, and a man in a dark blue gown suddenly stood up in the tea stall. The man had a handsome face and did not look old, but he had a sense of vicissitudes of life, which was very contradictory.

"Excellent Kung Fu, excellent Kung Fu. I don't think you are an unknown person. Could you please tell me your name?"

Ma Hongyuan's expression changed slightly. Seeing that this person was very impressive, he stopped looking down on him and said with a fist clasped, "I am Ma Hongyuan from the Ma family!"

"Qiu Shui Yijian Ma Hongyuan, well, well, I didn't expect it would be Young Master Ma in person. I'm sorry for my ignorance and offense. But today, my Sanyingzhai wants to set up rules here. Isn't it a bit disrespectful for you to do this?" The man in blue fir spoke and slowly took two steps forward.

Although it was only two steps, it gave Ma Hongyuan an extremely strong sense of oppression, as if even the air had become three times heavier. Now he could feel the heavy pressure on his lungs with every breath, which affected his injuries and caused a dull pain.

"Master!" Ma Hongyuan said secretly in his heart, but his face did not change at all.

"I think you are not an ordinary person. Why do you have to do such a thing?"

The blue-fir man shook his head and said, "You are from a prestigious family, how could you possibly know that we are lowly and worthless? Sometimes, just staying alive is very difficult. Young Master Ma, I respect you and don't intend to embarrass you. If you really want to go, I will personally escort you."

Ma Hongyuan knew what he meant, that he was asking him to stay out of other people's business. But if this matter got out, wouldn't it tarnish his reputation? He laughed heartily and shouted, "I can't ignore what happened today. You set up a checkpoint here, embezzled the people's money, and brought hardship to the people around here. How can I sit back and watch!!!"

He was indeed a famous young man. His words were so powerful that people around him immediately cheered.

The boys and girls still hanging on the big tree looked at Ma Hongyuan with eyes that were almost tearing. Ma Hongyuan now was exactly the kind of man of the world they had dreamed of, so heroic!

"Alright! It seems you're determined to make things difficult for our Three Eagles Village!" The blue-fir man said "alright" again, but his eyes were already filled with a chill as he spoke word by word, "Then let's see who's the winner!"

Before he finished speaking, a figure moved. He pointed his toes and his body soared into the sky like an eagle. His big hands were like eagle claws and went straight to several major acupoints on Ma Hongyuan's chest!
