Feng Aotian is the protagonist? Take it!

"Um?"

Zhang Liang pretended to be confused, glanced at the tied up Xiaoyue City employee with his chin, and continued: "Aren't you the one who wants to do something? I sent them, so what? What are you going to do?"

While answering the question, Zhang Liang still walked towards Niu Nai slowly.

however.

This leisurely walking style made Niu Nai feel stressed.

It's like you are lying on your back under the guillotine, looking at the sharp blade emitting cold light, but you don't know when it will fall.

Compared to directly beheading someone, this method is even more emotionally devastating.

Thinking of Di Que's fate, Niu Nai's mental pressure reached the brink of collapse. He hysterically shouted at the two guards:

"Go and take care of him for me! Quick!"

However···

Faced with Zhang Liang's aura that was enough to rival that of the Holy Land, they did not dare to take a single step forward. Instead, they retreated in fear.

"Don't be crazy! We can't beat them!"

"I, I won't do it anymore. I don't know him well. Please, please spare my life!"

One of the guards knelt down without even thinking and begged Zhang Liang to spare his life.

They were living on the edge of a knife and knew very well that for Zhang Liang to kill them would be as easy as an adult crushing an ant.

He was a powerful high-level figure in the Spirit Realm. Seeing him kneeling down and begging for mercy, those strong and healthy employees dared not say a word, not even to breathe.

"You bastards, I give you a monthly salary of 1 gold coin, and you just want to run away from the battlefield? Huh???" Niu Nai's eyes were bloodshot and he shouted at the guards.

"Get lost! You want to buy my life for 1 gold coin? What the hell do you want?"

"Bah, don't talk to us, get away!"

Seeing them quarreling among themselves, Zhang Liang, who was pretending to be serious, felt his cheeks twitching and he looked like he was about to burst out laughing.

The situation changed, and Ge You, who was tied to a pillar, wanted to confirm the current situation while they were fighting.

"Hey! Brother lying over there, do you know that guy?"

In response to Ge You's question, the guard replied with some pride: "He is the new boss of our Xiaoyue City. We are saved now."

Hearing the three words "there's salvation", Ge You immediately felt relieved.

At the same time, he was also confused about the title of "new boss". Ge You looked at Zhang Liang and narrowed his eyes.

He has a good relationship with Wang Kun and they both like reading novels.

When he was discussing the plot of the novel before, he did not hear Wang Kun mention selling Xiaoyue City.

It is better to say that Wang Kun is counting on Xiaoyue City to make a living, so it is impossible for him to sell it.

Originally, Ge You didn't quite believe what the guards said.

Then he immediately changed his mind.

As a noble, he always used the VIP passage when entering and leaving Xiaoyue City.

Due to his obesity, he doesn't like sports and spends all his time looking through the catalogue in the VIP room.

If he saw a product he liked, he would ask someone to bring it over for a closer look and chat with Wang Kun at the same time.

Therefore, he was not familiar with the employees of Xiaoyue City.

but···

After taking a closer look, Ge You discovered that although their clothes were covered in dust, they were indeed Xiaoyue City's work clothes.

Ge You knew that the employees of Xiaoyue City trusted Wang Kun very much, and they recognized Zhang Liang as their boss, so something must have happened.

Since Zhang Liang appeared, Ge You discovered that their worried and fearful expressions had disappeared.

After this analysis, Ge You felt that Zhang Liang was a person worthy of their reliance and trust.

Although he has a bad face, he is definitely not a bad guy.

"Brother Zhang over there, Wang Kun and I are..."

Ge You planned to tell Zhang Liang about his relationship with Wang Kun and ask him to release him first. After all, it was very uncomfortable to have a rope around one's flesh.

however!

at this time.

Ge You suddenly found something wrong.

There were only two guards arguing with Niu Nai. Where did the guard with a teasing look go?

Thinking of this, Ge You looked around, looking for that person.

Because the gate was sealed with an earth wall, even though there was a hole now, the light in the hall was still much weaker than before, and there were many dark corners around it.

suddenly.

Ge You discovered a wriggling shadow in the dark corner behind Zhang Liang.

Seeing the shadow rushing towards Zhang Liang, Ge You was shocked and shouted to Zhang Liang: "Brother Zhang! Watch out behind you!!!"

"What!?"

Hearing Ge You's words, Zhang Liang was startled, opened his eyes wide, and turned back in panic.

actually···

Zhang Liang had already discovered this man's whereabouts, and he was deliberately responding to Ge You's reminder. Such interaction could make it easier to gain each other's favor and trust.

And this is just one of Zhang Liang’s purposes.

"It's too late!!!"

As Zhang Liang turned around, the guard showed a ferocious smile and mocked him. He suddenly jumped up from below and swung the sharp blade towards Zhang Liang's vitals.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Liang's pupils shrank in surprise. Ge You, who was in a remote place, felt his heart tighten and shouted:

"Retreat quickly!!!"

Facing Ge You's panic, the guard lying on the ground just said to Ge You calmly: "Don't worry, he can't hurt that adult at all."

The guards were full of confidence in Zhang Liang's strength.

However···

What happened next second slapped him hard in the face.

Zhang Liang hurriedly took half a step back and narrowly avoided the first attack.

Perhaps he noticed that Zhang Liang's steps were messed up, so he teased the guard with a raised corner of his mouth. After landing, he turned around and took advantage of the victory to chase him: "There is a flaw!!!"

The sharp blade drew an arc in the air and attacked Zhang Liang's throat directly.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Liang raised his arms in panic to block.

The sword flashed.

"Swish".

The sharp blade slid across Zhang Liang's arm, and blood splattered all over the ground.

"What!?"

The employees of Xiaoyue City were the most surprised to see Zhang Liang injured. Cold sweat rolled down their cheeks and their eyes widened, not knowing what was going on.

After this blow, Zhang Liang pressed the wound on his right arm with his left hand, half-knelt on the ground, and said with pain:

"Tsk, is the medicine taking effect?"

Suddenly, everyone present was confused about the word "drug efficacy".

What is the effect?

Just when everyone was confused, they suddenly felt that the vigorous aura exuded by Zhang Liang disappeared.

"What!?" The guard kneeling on the ground was startled and asked in confusion: "What happened? Why did his aura suddenly disappear?"

"Is there such a thing?"

Another guard suddenly thought of something and continued, "Could it be that the aura just now was the effect of some medicine? So awesome?"

For a time, everyone was very curious about this medicine.

At the same time, they also felt that they had been deceived, and a flame of anger suddenly burned in their hearts.

They could now clearly sense that the aura emanating from Zhang Liang had disappeared.

Obviously, his strength has fallen below the imperial realm.

Seeing his pale and painful face, the guards and Niu Nai, who had been frightened before, stood up instantly and straightened their backs.

They knew that the situation had reversed.

Just as they were about to seize Zhang Liang, the teasing guard suddenly stopped them, stared at Zhang Liang with bloodshot eyes, and shouted angrily:

"Fuck! You are not from the Holy Land, why are you pretending to be a bastard?"

He stamped his feet in anger, his expression almost crazy, "In order to kill the strong man in the Holy Land and become famous in the world, I bought the extremely rare Tianbing Gu poison from the assassin at a high price! How are you going to compensate me!!!"

"You, you actually poisoned the blade!?" Zhang Liang said in disbelief.

"nonsense!"

This is the only poison.

Thinking that such an important poison was used on Zhang Liang, the teasing guard scratched his itchy scalp angrily.

"No...no...no...!!!"

"I can't let you go like this! Even if you are poisoned now, I will torture you before you die!!!"

The teasing guard emphasized the words "torture you" and his tone became completely crazy.

Thinking of Zhang Liang's desperate roar, the teasing guard rolled his eyes, hugged his arms and twitched violently, as if he had smoked marijuana.

Seeing his appearance, everyone present felt goosebumps all over and couldn't help swallowing.

madman.

He must be a lunatic!

"ha!!!"

He suddenly glared at Zhang Liang who was in great pain, and said jokingly: "I won't let you die too easily, so be prepared to be dismembered by me bit by bit, hehehehe~~"

With a smile, he teased the guard, revealing a ferocious face, tilted his neck, and habitually added a blade.

"······"

"······"

"······"

Seeing this scene, everyone present was dumbfounded, including the guards who realized it belatedly.

## Chapter 497: Crispy Soybeans

In the financial system of this alien world, the concept of "futures" does not exist.

In Zhang Liang's previous life, there was an economically powerful country that was almost bankrupted by a flower.

This event is called the first financial crisis in modern history.

Speak in easy-to-understand terms.

The nobles of that country were very fond of a flower called tulip. They were willing to buy it at a high price, believing that it was a symbol of nobility and a reflection of temperament.

As demand increases, supply will be insufficient and prices will rise.

Since the tulips did not grow as fast as the berries, they were quickly sold out.

What to do if there are no flowers to sell?

Such high profits cannot be missed.

So they came up with an idea: if they didn't have it now, they would borrow it from the future.
