บท 14: 015: Trouble Comes One After Another (Request for Recommendation Ticket)
Jiang Dali's gaze flickered slightly, "Did you get this information from higher up? Do you know who from Dragon Gate Escort Agency has come? What exactly did they say up there?"
Seeing his composure, Xiong Ba felt somewhat embarrassed and calmly said, "Yes, our superiors are the Li Family of Hui City County, a prestigious wealthy household. It's always the Li Family who instructs us on what to do.
In return, for many years, Black Wind Village has never been besieged by officials, and the local powers know our background too and don't dare provoke us rashly. The Li Family also often provides us with weapons, money, and other resources.
What we need to do is to take on tasks issued by the Li Family, handling matters that are inconvenient for them.
Originally, only I and the second-in-command knew about this arrangement.
Now that you are in charge, I must of course inform you.
This task commanded by the Li Family, we took it on tough last time, and now it has paid off, as we're dealing with the Dragon Gate Escort Agency."
Jiang Dali replied, "What's there to panic about? Didn't I play the lead role last time we faced the Dragon Gate Escort Agency? Now that I'm in charge, they would have to come to me first."
Xiong Ba's old face reddened upon hearing this.
Indeed, last time it was he and Life-stealing Scholar who were dishonorable, neither daring to defy the Li Family's orders nor willing to offend the Dragon Gate Escort Agency too grievously.
Thus, such deadly offensive tasks were bravely undertaken by Jiang Dali, while the two of them happily took credit without facing risks.
Xiong Ba nervously said, "This time, the person from the Dragon Gate Escort Agency is Chief Dou Dajin himself. Though Dou Dajin is only an expert of the Inner Qi Realm, he is known as Multi-Armed Bear, possessing considerable skills in fists, palms, and saber as a Shaolin lay disciple, particularly adept with his Linked Steel Darts, able to fire forty-nine steel darts in one breath.
Damn, I never expected the chief of the escort agency to personally step in. The goods we looted last time were merely a batch of precious herbs, was it worth such a huge fuss?"
"Multi-Armed Bear Dou Dajin," Jiang Dali heard this and his expression also turned grave.
Although in the memories of his previous life, Dou Dajin was just a very marginal minor character in Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, who died early.
But if one were to delve deeper, this person was still a Shaolin lay disciple, indeed a pivotal character who ignites the plot developments in Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
In his previous life, the destruction of the Dragon Gate Escort Agency directly affected the entire martial world, leading to the involvement of the two covertly opposing sects, Shaolin and Wudang, while Skyhawk Sect added fuel to the flames, plunging the martial world into a whirlwind of bloodshed.
And within all these events, there were some shadows of the Ru Yang Royal Mansion.
So, although Dou Dajin was just a lesser expert of the Inner Qi Realm, he was by no means simple for those supreme experts of the martial world.
Seeing Jiang Dali's grave expression, Xiong Ba reminded, "Our superiors have signaled that soon they will send an expert to assist us, and we need not panic excessively. However, that expert from Hui City County will surely arrive later than Dou Dajin."
"Sending an expert?"
Jiang Dali pondered and nodded slightly, waving his hand.
"Since it has come to this, Dou Dajin has already arrived, and we cannot be intimidated. Let's draw the line and face it."
Thinking that the other party might only arrive in two days and that players were already present, Jiang Dali wasn't too panicked.
As long as he made good use of the players, even with an interval of a day or two, he could rapidly enhance his strength.
In this martial world, although the levels of realms are important, what matters more in combat is the proficiency of martial arts.
However, the original plan was definitely to be changed now, as Dou Dajin's arrival had disrupted some of Jiang Dali's rhythms.
After dismissing Xiong Ba.
Jiang Dali immediately prepared to instruct someone to relay the next plan to the mountain bandits who had descended the mountain.
However, as soon as he called someone over, he saw the person frantically run towards him.
"Great Master, there's trouble! Some formidable foes have injured many of our brothers down the mountain."
"Hmm?" Jiang Dali was taken aback. "What happened?"
"It was Hu Ling, the master of Hu Family Martial Arts Hall from Mengyin County. Our brothers were roaming near Mengyin County when they encountered some new faces you told us to watch out for. They actually had the audacity to attack our brothers.
So our brothers struck back, killing some of them. Who would have thought these supposedly dead fellows would come back to life, bring Hu Ling with them, and injure many of us, and they have even tied up our people and are still down the mountain."
The mountain bandit spoke very fast and trembled as he spoke, especially when talking about the players coming back to life, he looked as if he had seen a ghost.
Jiang Dali was also aware that these locals were not yet accustomed to the peculiarities of the players.
In his previous life, the special ability of players to resurrect indeed terrified many of the locals.
At that time, some high-level experts from the Evil Sect specifically targeted the players' immortality, capturing a large number of players to cultivate their evil skills, and some experts even secretly captured players for experiments on immortality.
Soon, however, the locals figured out the players' weaknesses, knowing that although they could not die, they would weaken significantly with each death, which somewhat reassured them.
"Come, let's have twenty or thirty people follow me down the mountain to check it out."
Jiang Dali acted quickly and decisively, grabbing the Golden Back Big Ring Saber and striding towards the mountain base.
Immediately, a group of mountain bandits followed, shouting and cursing menacingly as they descended.
"Brother, why trouble yourself with such a minor issue? Let me handle it."
Second Master Xiong Ba was very obliging, and upon hearing the news, immediately came over with the Drumming Golden Hammer.
"No need, I'll go myself. You and the other brothers stay up here and guard the village to prevent anyone from sneaking up," said Jiang Dali.
Xiong Ba suddenly realized, "Yes, we can't fall for the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain."
The group rushed down the mountain, and as they reached the foot of the mountain, they could already see a faint light and hear some of their brothers screaming for mercy.
"Hehehe, these mountain bandits were so arrogant when they bullied us, but now, they are being taught a lesson by Master Hu like stray dogs."
"Some people on the forum suggested I join the mountain bandits, but now it seems joining the martial arts hall has a more promising future."
"It's Master Hu Ling who's impressive, even allowing some bandits to go and call for reinforcements. This isn't diamond-cut porcelain business, Master Hu must be confident in thoroughly teaching these scoundrels a lesson."
"There'll be a good show to watch. If the bandits' boss comes down, he'll surely be beaten to a pulp."
On the trail, ten players were watching the scene of the pleading bandits with satisfaction, trying to curry favor with Hu Ling, the martial arts hall master, who stood like a tower with his arms crossed.
At his side, about ten martial arts academy disciples were gathered, some excited and some nervously agitated. One female disciple heard the shouting from the mountain and looked anxiously at Hu Ling.
"Master, it seems like quite a few people are coming down from the mountain. I've heard that Black Wind Village has three very powerful Masters. You—"
With a slight self-assured smile on his tough dark face, Hu Ling reassured, "You'er, don't worry. Your master wouldn't dare come if he wasn't prepared.
As you've heard from these bandits, today Black Wind Village is in a state of upheaval, changing leadership to a new and inexperienced leader, and the Second Master is dead.
Today, your master intends to admonish these evildoers who do nothing but villainy every day, to let them know that Mengyin County is not a place for these vermin to wreak havoc..."
"Clap, clap! — Clap, clap—"
Just then, a round of crisp applause came from the mountain path followed by a loud male voice,
"Well said, I, Jiang Dali, am here to see what kind of formidable person can come from this tiny place in Mengyin County to take me on?"
