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

Chapter 265 Brutal Nature

When the people on Dong Xiong's side heard this, they couldn't help but feel surprised.

They couldn't help but look at Li Rong.

Li Rong looked embarrassed:

"This is the archery technique passed down from my ancestors..."

In this era, many family-inherited martial arts emphasize passing them down to sons rather than daughters, and to legitimate descendants rather than illegitimate children.

Not to mention passing it on to outsiders.

Dong Xiong lowered his voice and said to Li Rong:
"Old Li, I know you're in trouble."

"But if we can reach an agreement, we can get two fifth-grade helpers, which will undoubtedly make everyone safer."

"Otherwise, if you lose your life, what's the point of keeping your martial arts?"

"We distributed more food. This is related to whether hundreds of brothers under us can have enough to eat."

"You only need one secret manual to save so many people."

"Brother, if I come across a good secret manual in the future, I'll leave a copy for you. I'll remember your contribution."

Li Rong was still in a dilemma after hearing this.

If the ancestral secret book were to be passed on to outsiders, he would have no way to explain to his ancestors.

He whispered:

"Boss, this is a Xuan-level secret manual."

When Dong Xiong heard that Li Rong was still in trouble, he looked at Xing Niang and signaled Xing Niang to help persuade him.

Xingniang knew Li Rong's entanglement and dilemma, she just sighed and did not say anything to persuade him.

But Dong Xiong was not happy. He said with a cold face:

"Li Rong, this matter is settled. I have the final say!"

"After this is accomplished, your archery secret manual will be given to this hero Song!"

This time, Dong Xiong had no intention of lowering his voice. He just wanted to speak loudly on purpose to make this matter a reality.

This is already somewhat disrespectful to Li Rong and disregards Li Rong's feelings.

Li Rong could only cough twice to hide his embarrassment.

But since he chose to join the Black Jade Village and follow Dong Xiong, according to the rules of the Green Forest, he can only listen to Dong Xiong.

Li Rong could only say helplessly:
"Hero Song, don't blame me for not explaining it clearly."

"My archery is not only extremely difficult to practice, but also requires a lot of talent. It is not something that any warrior can easily master."

"Especially this archery technique has very high requirements for the bow and arrow. Without a suitable bow and arrow, the power of this archery technique cannot be fully exerted."

"Instead of wasting a lot of time practicing archery and never achieving great success, it would be faster to practice other martial arts."

Obviously, Li Rong still wanted to use this method to make Liang Jin give up the idea.

Liang Jin didn't care:

"It doesn't matter."

"As long as you are willing to give us the secret manual, we will naturally help you."

With archery skills, Liang Jin had the means to deal with the divine eagle.

So what if the Divine Condor can fly by then?

If you don't obey, Liang Jin can draw his bow and shoot the eagle at any time.

Li Rong opened his mouth and wanted to speak.

Dong Xiong had already spoken:

"it is good!"

"Then this matter is settled!"

"Come on! Let's drink!"

"I wish you a happy cooperation in advance!"

As he spoke, Dong Xiong picked up his wine glass and started drinking with Liang Jin and others.

Li Rong looked unwilling and wanted to speak.

Xingniang secretly tugged at the corner of his clothes and shook her head at him.

In the end, Li Rong could only sigh and accept the decision.

At this time.

Suddenly, a scout came galloping over quickly.

A spy dismounted and reported:
"Boss, a group of government officials are coming from behind."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but concentrate.

Lei Zhen asked:

"Could it be that the prefect's team has arrived?"

Dong Xiong shook his head:

"The prefect's team is not coming from that direction, but from the opposite direction."

"I know who's coming!"

"This is the border of Kaixin County. That idiot magistrate of Kaixin County must have come out to greet his superiors just to curry favor."

"It's good that they come, and we can grab them too."

"This idiot magistrate must have brought a lot of gifts to the new governor."

Dong Xiong waved his hand immediately, and the people from Heizhang Village immediately took action.

They all lay in ambush behind the small mound.

Liang Jin and the other two followed the crowd to the back of the slope.

Not for a while.

Sure enough, I saw a government team coming towards this side.

Walking in front were the yamen runners holding gongs and drums. They beat the gongs and drums as they walked to remind the people that the county magistrate had arrived.

Following behind were the yamen runners with sticks.

The so-called "Paigun Yamen Runners" were runners who were specifically responsible for clearing the roads. If there were hungry civilians who were unable to dodge and blocked the road, they would be beaten hard with the sticks in their hands.

Behind them were a group of yamen runners carrying signs that read "Silence" and "Avoid".

Then there was a large group of yamen runners, followers, hangers-on, and other people holding umbrellas, carrying sedan chairs, and waving fans.

The person sitting in the sedan chair in the middle was the magistrate himself.

Behind them, there was a county lieutenant riding a tall horse, leading a group of officers and soldiers.

When this county magistrate traveled, all his staff totaled five hundred people.

Behind the earth slope.

Liang Jin, who was observing from the dark, could not help but sigh:

"This magistrate is only a seventh-rank official, so why is he putting on such a grand display?"

Liang Jin had also seen high-ranking officials of the imperial court traveling in the capital.

When a first or second rank official travels, he can be accompanied by thousands of people.

When officials of the third and fourth ranks traveled, they were accompanied by only five or six hundred people.

Who would have thought that the seventh-rank county magistrate's outing would be as pompous as that of a third- or fourth-rank official?

Lei Zhen explained:
"Brother, the officials in Changzhou all like to pay attention to face and pomp."

"Once they were deployed, there was practically no one on the road. Even if civilians couldn't get out of the way, they had to kneel on the ground in a hurry, otherwise they would be beaten with a stick."

"If it weren't for these officials' inaction, how could our Changzhou be hit by such a severe disaster?"

Liang Jin nodded after hearing this.

It is true that man-made disasters are more severe than natural disasters.

He originally thought that the officials had done a bad enough job when the plague was raging in Qingzhou.

But I didn't expect that one place is worse than another.

There is really no worst, only worse.

At this time.

Dong Xiong, who had been observing for a while, laughed and said, "These guys dared to come out without even bringing a decent expert with them."

"You really are not afraid of death!"

"In that case, there's no need to hide."

"Let's go out and play with them!"

Immediately, Dong Xiong led everyone out on horseback.

They didn't use any tactics, but just slowly walked towards the county magistrate's team on the official road.

The county magistrate's team soon discovered this group of people.

The leading yamen runner struck the gong twice and shouted:
"The County Master is traveling!"

"Anyone who is outside of here, please get out of the way!"

But everyone ignored the words and continued to ride slowly towards them.

Now, the two sides quickly closed the distance.

This made the magistrate's team stop in their tracks.

They also seemed to realize that there was something wrong with the people in front of them.

A captain of the police came forward and said in a deep voice:
"I am Wang Dao, the chief constable of Kaixin County!"

"Who are you? How dare you block the magistrate's way?"

Dong Xiong smiled contemptuously when he heard this.

He patted Li Rong beside him.

Li Rong immediately bent his bow and shot an arrow.

"call out!"

Feather arrows flew through the air.

A cloud of blood mist immediately exploded from behind the captain's chest!
Immediately afterwards, the yamen runners behind the captain of the police also burst into blood mist on their chests and backs.

They were all shot by the same arrow!
After piercing through the bodies of more than ten constables, Li Rong's arrow continued to move forward and was firmly nailed to the frame of the sedan chair that the county magistrate was riding in.

The power of the arrow finally woke up many yamen runners.

For a moment, the magistrate's team was in chaos.

The county lieutenant at the back shouted loudly, and rode on horseback, leading a group of officers and soldiers to rush towards the crowd.

The people of Hei Zao Village were just about to take action.

Dong Xiong suddenly tore off his robe, revealing his upper body covered with thick hair:
"Leave these officers and soldiers to me! You take care of those outside who want to escape."

"I haven't fought in a long time, so today is a good time to eat some meat!"

Dong Xiong picked up his purple-gold thick-backed broadsword, jumped off his horse and rushed towards the officers and soldiers.

He was already fat, and when he ran, his fat was shaking.

The county lieutenant who was rushing in the front raised his saber and was about to chop at Dong Xiong.

Dong Xiong roared:
"Roar!!!"

Then he swung the purple-gold thick-backed knife in his hand.

The fierce sword energy was so violent that it split the county lieutenant and his horse into two halves with one blow.

The officers and soldiers behind rushed forward.

Dong Xiong slashed across, and the officers and soldiers in front were like being beheaded, with their upper and lower bodies immediately separated.

Dong Xiong was like a human tank, charging violently among these officers and soldiers. Wherever he passed, the officers and soldiers were chopped to pieces and died in a very tragic way.

And this Dong Xiong seems to have also practiced horizontal martial arts.

When the officers and soldiers swung their swords at him, he was too lazy to even dodge and continued to be slashed by the swords.

With one cut, Dong Xiong's fat body trembled violently, but he couldn't even break Dong Xiong's skin.

This time, Dong Xiong was alone in the crowd, killing people with both offensive and defensive capabilities, and no one could stop him.

This frightened a large number of yamen runners into panic, and they threw away their gongs and signs and fled in all directions.

And Xingniang was not idle either.

She used a pair of Emei spears and led the warriors of Heiwan Village to hunt down the yamen runners.

Li Rong also rode on his horse, drew his bow and arrow, aimed at those fish that were about to escape in the chaos, and shot them to death one by one.

There was basically no suspense in this battle.

Liang Jin and the other two were just watching from a distance, so there was no need for them to take action.

soon.

The battle is over.

All I saw were the yamen runners, officers, soldiers, followers and hangers-on lying all over the ground.

At least half of them were killed or injured.

The remaining half were very decisive. They threw away their weapons, squatted together with their heads in their hands and chose to surrender.

Dong Xiong laughed heartily, walked up to the sedan chair, opened the curtain, and pulled the magistrate out.

The magistrate looked to be at least sixty or seventy years old, a skinny old man.

He was held in Dong Xiong's hand, trembling as he said:

"Okay... spare my life, sir!"

"I...I am an official appointed by the imperial court."

Dong Xiongcai ignored him, took off the magistrate's official hat and put it on his own head.

Then Dong Xiong grabbed the magistrate's head with his big hand and smashed his head against the sedan chair pole.

With a dull thud, the magistrate's head was smashed and he died.

Dong Xiong also stripped the official robe from the magistrate's body, put it on himself, and said proudly:
"How about it?"

"Do I look like an official?"

He imitated the official's gait and wandered among the yamen runners.

The yamen runners were afraid of Dong Xiongying and kept praising him.

This scene.

Lei Zhen in the distance shook his head slightly:

"A monkey in human form, this Dong Xiong probably doesn't have any great ambitions."

Obviously, Lei Zhen was very disappointed with Dong Xiong's behavior.

At this time, the men from the Black Jade Village asked:
"Boss, what should we do with these prisoners?"

Dong Xiong said in a deep voice:
"Of course they were all cut down!"

"Let me do it!"

As he spoke, he swung his sword and slashed at the group of prisoners.

Dong Xiong's moves were powerful and brutal, and he chopped batches of captives into pieces.

Some of the captives were so frightened that they stood up and ran away.

Dong Xiong ordered his men to bring the captives back alive, and then he killed them with his own hands.

Seeing how brutal Dong Xiong was, Liang Jin pondered:
"It seems that this most violent person is probably Dong Xiong."

At first, Dong Xiong looked like a leader.

But once the war started, his brutal nature was exposed.

Liang Jin looked at Li Rong and Xing Niang.

The two men did not participate in the massacre of the prisoners, but just watched helplessly from the side.

It seems that not all of Dong Xiong's subordinates approve of his behavior.

At this time.

A scout came galloping over:

"The boss!"

"The new prefect's team has arrived!"
