The attributes are not enough, so all the comprehension is needed

Chapter 30 The Opening of Troubled Times

"After the other exercises have been practiced deeply, none of them have their characteristics. Only the Dragon God's Claw and the Taixuan Sutra have their characteristics. Could it be because all the exercises after reaching the heavenly level are like this?"

Shen has never practiced the cloud-level kung fu, so he doesn't know whether this situation started from the cloud level or only from the sky level.

However, this is a good thing after all, it means that under the current cultivation level, he can explode with stronger combat power.

After simply tidying up, Shen Cong left the house.

The moment he went out, he found that Ruan Hongyu had also just left, and her face was extremely solemn. There were two more people around her age, a man and a woman, both of whom were at the seventh rank.

That man, with a strong breath, is infinitely close to a sixth-rank powerhouse.

"Little Master Shen."

Although her face was a bit ugly, Ruan Hongyu greeted Shen Cong first when she saw Shen Cong.

Shen Cong also responded.

"Ruan Fengwei."

After a simple greeting, the other party left in a hurry, and Shen Cong also walked towards the shop.

Along the way, he noticed that the order on the street was a little messy, not as stable as before.

Many ordinary people packed up their belongings, carried their parcels on their backs, and dragged their families and ran to nowhere. Some ordinary people ran towards their homes with the rice and other food they had just bought.

The intelligent Shen Cong immediately judged that there was probably something wrong with the northern border.

The facts were exactly as he had imagined. Several passers-by who were running around were discussing the war in northern Xinjiang.

"This Beimang is really powerful. When the war broke out, it actually severely damaged our Great Xia border guards, wiped out [-] enemies, and penetrated into our Great Xia Baili! If it weren't for the great general Ling Bupo of Zhenyuan who led his army to attack for hundreds of miles, the North The mang barbarians cut them off at the middle, so that they couldn't look at each other from head to tail, and they were afraid that they would be driven straight in by the barbarians from the northern mang."

"The Northern Mang barbarians have lived on the grasslands for a long time. Not to mention the tough folk customs, their horsemanship skills are even better. Their cavalry is far better than that of Daxia. It is hard to resist."

"When the war starts now, I don't know how many people will die."

"Isn't it? I heard that some blacksmiths now have to add an extra tael of silver to make a sword. I think the common people are dying."

"Master Shen."

Just as Shen Cong was listening, he suddenly heard a familiar shout. He turned his head and saw that it was Master Song's son Song Daqi.

He trotted forward and saluted respectfully.

"Morning, Master Shen."

Shen Cong nodded, noticing the large bruises covered under his sleeves, and asked lightly:
"Did you fight with someone?"

Song Daqi lowered his head.

"When I came home from work yesterday, I saw members of the Changfeng Gang bullying the neighbors and snatching food and rice. I couldn't bear it for a while, so I started fighting with them."

"When a man walks in the world, he should bend his body and keep his points, waiting for the right time, and not fighting with fate."

"Master Shen, I don't understand."

"You have to keep a low profile. If you can't control your fists, you will die easily."

"But we poor people, are we destined to be bullied? Our life is already difficult, and we still have to be bullied by those rogues."

Song Daqi clenched his fists, his eyes were a little red.

Shen Cong shook his head and said no more, Song Daqi's half-grown child naturally couldn't match his state of mind in two lifetimes.

He doesn't understand the complexity of the world, the sinister heart, and the low-key tolerance and humiliation. At his age, he can only be full of enthusiasm.

Maybe only after suffering a lot of losses, he will understand that it is not too late to develop and then take revenge instead of fighting for a moment.

The two walked down the street, one in front and one behind, and soon came to the blacksmith shop.

However, not far away, I saw the blacksmith shop in a mess.

A group of warriors in blue clothes were making trouble. The leader kicked the bench away with just one kick. He was obviously quite powerful and was about to enter the ranks.

Song Daqi clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said:
"Master Shen, that's the Changfeng Gang. Unexpectedly, their hands have already reached the blacksmith's shop."

Shen never said much, just watched quietly.

The person in charge has stepped forward to make peace.

"Masters, are you here to build weapons or...?"

"Hit your mother! Let me tell you, from now on, this street will be under the control of our Changfeng Gang. Your blacksmith shop, and even all the blacksmiths in your shop, have to pay protection fees. The shop has monthly 100 taels, one tael for each craftsman, if anyone dares to refuse to pay, don't blame the master for turning his head into a chamber pot!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's face changed drastically.

Not to mention that the blacksmith shop needs to pay 100 taels of silver a month, let’s say that there are many blacksmiths whose monthly silver is only more than two taels of silver.

"You guys are too dark, aren't you? You have to pay so much protection fees all at once, who gave you the right?"

"Exactly! You are too domineering. We will sue the officials!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

The members of the Changfeng Gang suddenly burst into laughter.It seems to be mocking the innocence of blacksmiths.

"Sue, sue as you please. If you can sue us, I will call you father, but if you can't sue me, hehehe, then don't blame me for being cruel and merciless, and I will take two dogs for surgery."

After saying that, they snatched the silver taels and bank notes from the counter and walked away.

When the blacksmiths left, they began to curse.

"Why is the Changfeng Gang so arrogant?"

"Should we just let them bully me? I only have two taels of silver a month, which is not enough to feed my family. I don't pay any protection fees. If you want to deduct money from me, you have to step on me."

The steward let out a long sigh.

"Hey! Isn't there someone behind the Changfeng Gang? I heard that the leader of the Changfeng Gang is the brother-in-law of our Lord Yun!
Normally, they wouldn't dare to be so rampant, but now that the war in the north is tense, the imperial court has to send troops from various states, counties and counties, and the troops are often concentrated in the hands of officials at all levels.

At this time, the major officials will take the opportunity to plunder some benefits. The imperial court wants food and pay, and the lower officials will brazenly search for the people's fat and anointment.

The imperial court needs all major forces to maintain stability, so the control will naturally be loosened. This is almost an unwritten rule.Suing officials is also useless.

Maybe, if you tell the officer during the day, someone will come to your house to say hello at night. "

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone became a little weird in an instant. Even the master who yelled to let people step over his corpse just now swallowed his saliva and dared not say a word.

Song Daqi looked at Shen from the beginning to the end without saying a word, and his heart was greatly shocked.

The person from the Changfeng Gang just kicked his chair!
A person as powerful as Master Shen didn't even take action to teach them a lesson just now. Is this what Master Shen called forbearance?
Master Shen, he really is extraordinary!
In fact, Shen Cong's emotions were already soaring at this moment.

Damn it, did you bully your grandpa?
Tired of life!

But he is not a fool, even though the lord of Yuncheng is only at the fifth rank, he is on par with him.

But behind him is the Great Xia court, and it is not a wise choice to act rashly if he is traced.

Before becoming an absolute strongman, Shen Cong would not fight against the big machine of the imperial court.

Safety, Shen Cong wants, retaliation, Shen Cong also wants!

Collect some interest tonight, and wait for grandpa to break through the fourth rank...
