Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 264 Do you want to rob the prefect?
At this time, Xiaoyu was riding on the back of the Divine Condor, holding the Divine Condor with one hand, and waving the other hand towards Liang Jin.

When Liang Jin saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Fortunately, Xiaoyu is a warrior.

Otherwise, if an ordinary, untrained person were carried so high by the Divine Eagle, he would probably not be able to withstand the changes in air pressure and airflow and would fall down.

It would be even worse for someone with acrophobia, as they would have fainted from fear long ago.

"You two!"

"Come down quickly!"

Liang Jin shouted at the Divine Condor and Xiaoyu.

However, Xiaoyu patted the Divine Eagle's neck, then pointed to the distance in front of the Divine Eagle.

This divine eagle seemed to understand human nature. It flapped its wings and flew away with Xiaoyu on its back.

Liang Jin could only watch the figures of the man and the bird getting farther and farther away, leaving only a small black dot on the horizon.

It turns out that what flies in the sky is faster than what runs on the ground.

With the speed of the Divine Condor, not to mention relying on horses to catch up, even Liang Jin couldn't catch up even if he used his Qinggong skills.

"Two stubborn guys!"

This made Liang Jin very unhappy.

These two guys were beastly and didn't listen to Liang Jin's orders at all.

"No more chasing."

"They can go wherever they want. The more you chase them, the faster they'll probably run."

Liang Jin pulled the reins and stopped the horse.

Xiaoyu is a child after all, and has a childish temper.

The more you chase her, the faster she runs, thinking she is playing with you.

Of course, Xiaoyu and the Divine Condor may never return.

But Liang Jin was not worried about this.

Relying on the feature of [Thousand Mile Tracking], he will be able to find them sooner or later.

At this time.

New information popped up on the system interface:

[A very violent person has been detected near the host.]

【Should we bring it into the Nine Sky Boundless Realm?】

【whether】

I saw a light spot appear nearby on the radar interface.

And this light spot is very close to Liang Jin.

Liang Jin looked up and saw that they had unknowingly arrived at the official road.

Looking around, there was no one nearby.

There are two small mounds not far away. It seems that the most violent person is hiding behind the mounds.

"Be careful, there's an ambush here."

Liang Jin spoke to Lei Zhen and Xiao Liu beside him, and pointed to two small mounds in the distance.

Upon hearing this, the two men immediately became alert.

Lei Zhen relied on his iron fists, while Xiao Liu drew out the long sword he had recently snatched.

As the three of them were just on guard.

suddenly!

"call out!"

A sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out.

next moment.

"Oh!"

A cloud of dust flew up in front of the horses of Liang Jin and his two companions.

The three of them looked closely and saw a feather arrow nailed to the ground.

Seeing this, Liang Jin's expression slightly condensed.

This arrow is extraordinary, full of powerful power!
Liang Jin had seen all kinds of warriors, and had seen many of them using hidden weapons.

But he had never seen anyone using a bow and arrow.

And now, a warrior using a bow and arrow has appeared!
The range of a bow and arrow is too far, making it difficult to carry internal force.

If you want the bow and arrow to be able to carry internal force all the time, you probably need some unknown methods.

The arrow was not aimed at anyone, it was obviously a warning.

Xiao Liu held the sword and shouted:

"Who's next?"

"Do you dare to come out and see me?!"

Accompanied by Xiao Liu's shout.

A dozen riders slowly appeared from behind the small mound.

These riders included both men and women, and their martial arts skills varied.

Liang Jin's eyes slowly swept over the few people and roughly judged their strength levels.

The leader was a fat black man with the strength of the peak fifth rank.

There are two people beside the fat man, a beautiful woman with the strength of the early fifth rank, and a man holding a bow and arrow, also with the strength of the early fifth rank.

The arrow just now was obviously shot by the man holding the bow.

The rest of the people’s strength ranges from sixth to ninth rank.

Such a team is elite anywhere and should not be underestimated.

Three fifth-rank masters suddenly appeared, and their powerful aura caused the horses of Liang Jin and the other two to neigh in fear.

"Are these three heroes the recently renowned 'Timely Rain' Song Jiang, 'Iron Fist' Lei Zhen, and 'Lone Wolf with Blood Sword' Xiao Liu?"

The fat black man in the lead asked loudly after his triangular eyes scanned everyone's faces.

The fat black man was very fat, like a mountain of flesh, weighing down the horse under him so much that it was exhausted and had difficulty walking.

The fat man had dark skin, a face full of flesh, and a thick beard. He looked ferocious yet majestic.

He was wearing a purple silk robe and a black crown on his head. His thick fingers were adorned with several jewel rings, which dug into the fat flesh on his fingers.

His overweight body made it difficult to pull his clothes tight, and his thick chest hair was clearly visible.

Judging from his aura alone, he seemed to have the temperament of a boss and was extremely oppressive.

Lei Zhen whispered to Liang Jin at this time:
"Brother, they look a bit like the people from the Black Jade Village in Wangyuegang."

"They are also a group of outlaws who are against the government."

Lei Zhen was a native of Changzhou and was very familiar with the local green forest forces, so he could roughly judge the other party's origin at a glance.

Liang Jin sighed slightly when he heard this.

Changzhou is really rotten to the core. It has not even been able to recruit so many powerful warriors to serve the court, but instead has led them to stand on the opposite side of the court.

It is no wonder that Liang Qizi, the leader of the Six Gates of Dongzhou, said that even the elites within the Six Gates had left in large numbers.

It seems that the Daqian Dynasty is indeed on the verge of defeat.

Liang Jin collected his thoughts, clasped his fists and replied to the group:

"My three brothers are exactly that!"

"May I ask, heroes, are you a hero from the Black Jade Village?"

When they heard Liang Jin confirm his identity, they couldn't help but show joy and admiration in their eyes.

The black fat man laughed and said:
"That's right!"

"We are from the Black Jade Village, and my name is Dong Xiong."

"I've long heard that the three heroes were robbing government grain and robbing the wealthy. I've also seen their portraits, but I never thought I'd finally see them today."

"If you three don't mind, please come and have a few drinks to relieve your fatigue."

The fat black man who called himself Dong Xiong said this and waved his hand.

His men immediately set up a stall on the hillside and brought a few bags of wine and some food.

Liang Jin was not polite and rode over with Lei Zhen and Xiao Liu.

They sat on the carpet with Dong Xiong and his gang, eating and drinking and chatting.

Dong Xiong also began to introduce the people around him to Liang Jin and the other two.

The man holding the bow and arrow is called Li Rong, the second in command of the Black Jade Village; and the heroic woman is called Xing Niang, the third in command of the Black Jade Village.

Li Rong clasped his fists to everyone:
"I didn't realize it was three heroes that had arrived. I apologize for any offense I've caused you!"

Li Rong looks much more ordinary, probably in his thirties or forties.

But he was tall and slender, and wore the black breastplate, arm guards, and gauntlets commonly worn by archers.

Xing Niang also smiled at the three of them and said:

"I've heard of the three heroes for a long time, but I regret not being able to meet them sooner."

This Xingniang is not young anymore, at least in her thirties or forties, but she is very beautiful, and can be said to still have the charm of a middle-aged woman.

Especially her facial features are full of grandeur and masculine spirit.

After a few pleasantries, Dong Xiong was very enthusiastic towards Lei Zhen, who was at the fifth level.

His attitude towards Liang Jin was quite polite. After all, although Liang Jin's breath was weak, he had an extraordinary demeanor.

He was somewhat indifferent to Xiao Liu. Xiao Liu was only at the ninth rank in strength, and his personality was somewhat gloomy and he didn't like to talk much. It was obvious that he was not someone who could accomplish great things.

This can be described as serving different dishes to different people.

But soon, Dong Xiong was surprised to find that Lei Zhen actually called Liang Jin "big brother" and that Liang Jin was the leader.

But after Dong Xiong was surprised, he understood.

After all, Liang Jin looked the oldest, so the three of them naturally ranked their sworn brothers according to age.

Immediately, Dong Xiong became more polite to Liang Jin.

After the two groups chatted for a while, Dong Xiong finally told them the purpose of their trip:

"To be honest, this time we're planning to seize the newly appointed governor of Changzhou..."

original.

Choshu has become a mess.

Drought, famine and the recent locust plague have brought the situation in Choshu to an irreversible point.

All the officials here who had some connections began to be transferred.

The previous governor of Choshu was hastily transferred from Choshu just as the locust plague occurred.

A new prefect will take office soon.

The new prefect was originally just a wealthy businessman and was not qualified to be an official.

However, as the treasury of the Daqian Dynasty was empty and corrupt officials were rampant, selling official positions and titles became a common practice.

This wealthy businessman donated a lot of money to the court in exchange for a position as a prefect.

As a businessman, once an investment is made, it is necessary to recover the investment and make money.

This wealthy businessman had the same plan. He set his sights on the position of prefect of Choshu in order to make a fortune here.

It is said that this wealthy businessman transported a large amount of grain to Choshu, intending to sell it at a high price.

Dong Xiong and his gang from the Black Jade Village planned to take advantage of the opportunity to seize this batch of food.

At the end, Dong Xiong said to the three people:
"Three heroes, we both share the same ideals. How about we do this together?"

"Then we'll split the profits ninety-one. I'll take nine from the Black Jade Village, and you'll take one."

Hearing this, Liang Jin and the other two exchanged glances.

Robbing a newly appointed prefect is not an easy task.

The prefect is the head of a state, and he will definitely be escorted by officers, soldiers and experts sent by the court.

Even some wealthy prefects with extensive connections and deep backgrounds would hire their own bodyguards.

Especially since he is taking office in a chaotic place like Choshu where many outlaws are emerging, the new governor will definitely do a good job in security.

There is bound to be certain risks in seizing the position of prefect.

Lei Zhen asked:
"Master Dong, if you guys stole the food, shouldn't you distribute it to the people?"

Dong Xiong waved his big hand and said with a rough smile:

"Brother Lei, you three brothers are rangers, so naturally you don't understand our situation."

"As the saying goes, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you manage the household. It's not easy for us to support such a large group of people in Hei Zao Village."

"The dozen or so people you see around us now are just the elite backbone of the Black Jade Village."

"Besides that, there's a group of over three hundred brothers lying in ambush nearby, and over a hundred brothers stationed in the village. That's over five hundred people in total, and they're all relying on food to survive."

"Besides, our Black Jade Village also needs to recruit soldiers. In Changzhou, whoever has food will have soldiers."

"By recruiting soldiers, we can be said to be distributing the food to the people in disguise."

Lei Zhen could only look at Liang Jin, waiting for Liang Jin's decision.

After all, Liang Jin is the eldest brother and has the highest martial arts skills, so the decision-making power is naturally in his hands.

Liang Jin replied:

"Ninety-one points is too little."

"We want a 60-40 split. We have 6, and we can give you, Village Master Dong, 4."

Dong Xiong laughed contemptuously when he heard this:
"You guys split into six?"

"Is Hero Song joking?"

"Tell me, what are your qualifications?"

Even Xingniang and Li Rong shook their heads slightly.

If you want to get more, you must have the strength!
There are three fifth-grade masters and more than 500 brothers in his Black Jade Village.

The opponent was just a fifth-rank master and two mediocre warriors.

How could they deserve to share so much food?
Even if we divide it among them, can the three of them carry it away?
It's really rude to say such things!

Dong Xiong was about to refuse immediately.

But the next second, Dong Xiong's expression suddenly changed.

Even Xingniang and Li Rong couldn't help but stand up suddenly.

They all felt that Liang Jin's breath suddenly surged!
In the blink of an eye, his aura had reached the fifth level!

At this time, Liang Jin relaxed a little the concealing cultivation method of "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss", allowing his aura to show the fifth level.

"We now have two fifth-rank warriors here, so we are qualified to get six, right?"

Liang Jin asked.

at this time.

Xing Niang suddenly pointed at Liang Jin and shouted:

"You actually know how to conceal your aura?"

"This method is only possessed by some special warriors of the Six Gates."

"Tell me! Are you a lackey of the court?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Jin just sneered and didn't bother to answer.

Lei Zhen and Xiao Liu also smiled without saying anything.

Dong Xiong waved his hand towards Xing Niang and said:
"Xing Niang, sit down."

"Song Yingxiong and his men stole so much government grain, how could they possibly be from the imperial court?"

"If he is from the imperial court, then I, Dong Xiong, am willing to dig out my own eyes!"

Li Rong nodded, obviously agreeing with Dong Xiong's words.

Xing Niang couldn't help but look embarrassed at this moment.

She was just excited for a moment.

Now that I think about it carefully, Liang Jin really cannot be a lackey of the imperial court.

His arrest warrants were even posted in every village.

Moreover, what Liang Jin and his gang have done these days are indeed real.

Heiwan Village had already found out about this and there was no falsehood.

Even if the imperial court wanted to film an undercover agent, it would be impossible for it to reach the level of Liang Jin.

"Sorry, Song Yingxiong, I'm being rude."

"I would like to drink a glass of wine as an apology. I hope you heroes will forgive me."

As Xingniang spoke, she picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Liang Jin waved his hand and didn't mind.

Dong Xiong spoke:

"It can be split 70% to 30%. I'll give you 30%."

"This is also our bottom line, and our people can also help you deliver food."

Liang Jin still shook his head to express his refusal.

He opened his mouth and said:
"If it's divided like this, then we'd rather not participate in this vote."

Dong Xiong's face darkened slightly when he heard this.

He really didn't expect that Liang Jin's appetite was so big, to an unreasonable extent.

Liang Jin said:
"Of course, we do have room for negotiation."

"I have another plan."

Having said that, Liang Jin pointed at Li Rong:

"If Second Master can give me your archery secret manual, then we can split the profits 90-100. I can accept only 10%."

Archery secrets are very scarce, and Liang Jin also wants to learn some.

Especially now that Liang Jin has mastered all the martial arts.

If he doesn't learn new martial arts, some of his system rewards for improving his martial arts proficiency may become useless.

Liang Jin was too lazy to learn most of the common secrets.

But this archery secret book was what Liang Jin lacked, so he was very interested.

Now, it depends on whether Li Rong will agree.
