Chapter 64 A possible scheme by Bei Haishi
As soon as Shi Zhongyu finished speaking, Li Fenglei suddenly burst into laughter.
He patted his chest, overjoyed.
"Go back to where you came from, kid!"
"If it were an elder of yours, I might give you some face, but you're just a kid who hasn't even grown up yet!"
Li Fenglei's words made his subordinates burst into laughter.
Shi Zhongyu looked at Li Fenglei and the others who were laughing wildly, shook his head, dismounted, and walked step by step toward Li Fenglei.
"I've heard you have incredibly powerful martial arts skills, making you impervious to swords and spears!"
Li Fenglei looked at Shi Zhongyu approaching and his smile faded.
"What? You want to try it?"
He pointed to his chest and shouted at Shi Zhongyu, "Come on, you can hit me here!"
"If you can make me stand still, I'll immediately return all the stolen goods to you intact!"
Shi Zhongyu paused slightly as he drew his sword; he had intended to walk over and finish the man off with a single strike.
Since the other party allowed him to strike with a palm, he would save himself the trouble of using his sword.
"Very well! This junior will respectfully comply."
As he spoke, Shi Zhongyu stood in front of Li Fenglei, smiling as he reminded him, "Senior, my palm strike might be a bit powerful. I hope you can withstand it!"
Li Fenglei thumped his chest loudly.
"Come on, just keep hitting me!"
"If I utter a single cry, I'm no hero!"
A robber dares to call himself a hero?
Shi Zhongyu slowly raised his hand.
"In your next life, you'd better be more discerning and not rob everyone's goods!"
Li Fenglei didn't hear clearly.
"What?"
Shi Zhongyu didn't say anything more, but instead lightly struck out with his palm.
boom!
Li Fenglei stood still.
His men, seeing this, all burst into laughter.
"My chieftain is indestructible! Your palm strike is as weak as a woman who hasn't eaten. You expect my chieftain to take the initiative?"
"Haha, this kid is too stupid! How could the Snow Mountain Sect have such a foolish disciple!"
While the people around him were still laughing wildly, the black fox standing next to Li Fenglei was sweating profusely.
Snow Mountain Sect, Young Man...
He seemed to know the identity of the person in front of him.
The black fox turned to look at its chieftain, wanting to give him a reminder.
He had just reached out his hand when he saw the chieftain fall backward with a thud and die.
Black Fox gasped, and the Black Wind Stronghold's henchmen around him were all stunned, not knowing what had happened.
They looked at the black fox.
When the black fox saw the boy's gaze fall on him, his heart pounded rapidly.
The next second, he knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Yan..."
Before he could even speak, he saw the boy in front of him raise a finger to shut him up.
The black fox promptly shut its mouth.
Shi Zhongyu smiled as he looked at the black fox. This black fox was indeed the strategist of Black Wind Stronghold, as he had actually guessed his identity.
When the others saw their chieftain die and the deputy chieftain kneel down, they immediately realized what had happened.
The young man before me is a master; I must not provoke him.
Seeing that the deputy chieftain had knelt down, they dared not stand and all knelt down in unison.
Shi Zhongyu didn't look at those people, but instead glanced at the black fox.
"Have them settle your chieftain in. I need to ask you something."
Black Fox dared not delay. After getting up from the ground, he ordered his men to clean up after the chieftain.
He then fawned over Shi Zhongyu and led him to the main hall.
After arriving in the lobby, Shi Zhongyu casually found a chair to sit down and glanced indifferently at the black fox.
"You recognized me?"
The black fox wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said respectfully, "I'm sure no one in the entire Western Regions is unaware of the name of the Jade-Faced Yama!"
"A black fox, huh!"
"These are just nicknames given to me by others. Please call me whatever you like, young master."
"Black Fox, I want to know something: why did your Black Wind Stronghold dare to rob my Snow Mountain Sect's goods?"
Upon hearing this, the black fox knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Young master, please understand! The raid on Changyuan Escort Agency was not the work of a petty person; it was all the work of the chieftain!"
Shi Zhongyu stared coldly at the black fox.
"As far as I know, Black Wind Stronghold never dared to touch the goods of my Snow Mountain Sect before, so why do they dare to do it now?"
Black Fox hurriedly replied, "This humble one knows a little. A mysterious person came by once, and ever since then, my chieftain seems to have become a different person."
"We dare to provoke forces that we didn't dare to provoke before, but now we do."
Shi Zhongyu seemed to be deep in thought, and he said, "How dare Black Wind Village be so bold?"
"A mysterious person? What's their identity?"
"The chieftain didn't tell me the specifics, but judging from his accent, he seems to be from the Jiangnan region!"
"Oh, by the way, that person gave my gang leader a token, saying that if there's any trouble, just take the token and that person will appear."
"Where's the keepsake?"
"I'll find it for you right away!"
Not long after, the black fox returned.
He now had an extra token in his hand.
Shi Zhongyu took the token and saw a "shell" character on the back.
He immediately thought of Bei Haishi.
The idea crossed his mind.
Shi Zhongyu played with the token for a while, then put it away.
He glanced at the groveling black fox.
"Why didn't you take the opportunity to escape just now?"
Black Fox wiped away his cold sweat. When he went out just now, he did think about running away.
However, when he thought about what the Jade-Faced Yama had done, his idea of escaping was instantly dispelled.
"I wouldn't dare!"
As the black fox spoke, he quickly replied, "Young master, I have some guesses about this token."
"Oh?"
Black Fox quickly replied, "After that mysterious person arrived, I secretly investigated, and this token seems to be the token of the Chang Le Gang, the largest gang in the Central Plains!"
"As for whether it is true or not, that needs to be verified further."
"If you require it, young master, I will do my utmost to help you investigate!"
Shi Zhongyu glanced at the black fox.
To be honest, this black fox is quite clever; he knows that to survive, he needs to prove his worth.
"Okay! Go check it out!"
"You have two months to deliver the results of your investigation to Xuansu Manor in Taihu Lake, Jiangnan!"
After Shi Zhongyu finished speaking, he stood up decisively.
"As for those goods, you can arrange them as you see fit."
"Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely return it intact!"
The black fox followed behind Shi Zhongyu, always bowing and scraping and not daring to raise its head.
Upon arriving outside the lobby, he immediately summoned someone to retrieve the goods belonging to Xingyuan Escort Agency.
Even after receiving the goods, Zhao Hu and his group were still somewhat incredulous.
They looked at Shi Zhongyu with gratitude.
If this batch of goods is lost, not only will we lose money, but our reputation will also be damaged.
If we accept goods from other companies in the future, our business will be affected.
"Thank you for your help, young master!"
"If it weren't for you, young master, we definitely wouldn't have been able to get it back..."
Shi Zhongyu waved his hand, interrupting Zhao Hu.
"You're all working for the Snow Mountain Sect, so escort you there properly!"
Shi Zhongyu mounted his horse and rode away.
Five days later, while he was resting at an inn, he saw a person running towards him.
"May I ask if you are the Jade Prince among Stones?"
"It is I."
"This is a letter from my chieftain, who asked me to deliver it to you personally."
Shi Zhongyu took the letter and opened it immediately.
In his letter, Black Fox told him that Black Wind Village had secretly sent away goods several times in the past.
Those goods were all sent to Jiangnan.
