Gangs like Black River Gang, which attach themselves to the lives of residents inside and outside Green Mountain City and suck the blood of the people, are no different than collecting taxes.
To a certain extent, this is trying to crack down on the government.
Then why didn't the government go out and eliminate them?
Li Chengfeng was a little confused before, but now he understands.
What they want is for these gangs to suck blood and raise them up, so that they can raise warriors like Zhao Lie.
When something happens, just pull their leader out to take charge.
Li Chengfeng can feel it now, and Zhao Lie who has been there in person may have felt it long ago.
It can even be clearly known that someone will even directly tell him that he is being raised just so that he can stand up and be used as a tool one day.
But that was all he could do, he had no choice.
Every resource and benefit is controlled by those stronger warriors.
Low-level warriors like Zhao Lie want to obtain financial income other than affiliation to support their own practice.
We can only find another way and survive in this crack.
Just the silver earned from affiliation, like before Li Chengfeng, even if it is just the cultivation at Blood Qi level, can only barely support it, and it is far from enough at the Body Tempering Realm.
In order to lay a stronger foundation, warriors in this world need more resources without a proficiency panel.
These resources are not only elixirs and precious medicines, but also the expenditure on exercises, which is definitely a huge expenditure.
How can I get these things without money and resources?
Therefore, he could only survive in this kind of crack. Even though he knew that the bait was poisonous, he had to eat it.
But now that something has happened, it's time for Zhao Lie to take action.
"May I ask Brother Zhao, when will the government want you to guard the main road?"
In the yard, Li Chengfeng heard Zhao Lie's words and asked seriously.
"We should arrive before noon."
Zhao Lie nervously spoke to Li Chengfeng.
"Brother Zhao is in such danger, how can Chengfeng ignore it? But since we arrived before noon, it's not so urgent. Let's pack our bags first, bring dry food, and make thorough preparations."
When Li Chengfeng heard what Zhao Lie said, he breathed a sigh of relief and spoke to him with a smile.
Zhao Lie heard this and nodded hurriedly:
"Okay, according to Brother Chengfeng, after the government asked me to go, I was not allowed to come back until noon on New Year's Eve. We happened to have brought dry food and stayed there for two days. It wouldn't be too late to come back at the end of the New Year!"
"Okay, Brother Zhao, go ahead and prepare dry food and tents for you and me, and I will also prepare some more. After everything is ready, we will set off to the place you specified."
Li Chengfeng nodded immediately, thinking about staying on that road for three days, and spoke seriously.
"Thank you so much, Brother Chengfeng. I, Zhao Lie, can make friends like Brother Chengfeng in this life. It is truly a great blessing in my life!"
Zhao Lie looked at Li Chengfeng and spoke with emotion:
"When I was practicing martial arts in a martial arts school, due to my family background, although I practiced martial arts with a group of fellow apprentices, I never made a true friend."
"I never thought that I would be able to make friends with Brother Chengfeng's talent and sincerity today. To have such a friend as Brother Chengfeng is really what I could ask for in this life!"
Zhao Lie looked frank and spoke with endless emotion.
Hearing this, Li Chengfeng smiled and hugged his fists at Zhao Lie:
"Brother Zhao is sincere to me, and I am sincere to Brother Zhao. In this world, when dealing with others, it is nothing more than exchanging sincerity for sincerity. To have a friend like Brother Zhao, Chengfeng feels deeply lucky in this life."
"Besides, if Brother Zhao encounters this disaster today, I, Li Chengfeng, am willing to do my best to help. Could it be that if Chengfeng encounters difficulties in the future, Brother Zhao will not help?"
Li Chengfeng spoke to Zhao Lie with a smile on his face, how could he not know that once he agreed to such a thing, if he encountered the gangster, he would probably die, which would be a life-threatening matter.
But thinking about all the past events he encountered after coming to this world, and thinking about the things Zhao Lie helped him before and after, should he retreat in the face of these dangers under such circumstances?
What martial arts seeks is nothing more than clear thoughts. If thoughts are not clear, how can we go further on the road to martial arts?
Li Chengfeng only knows that he is facing Zhao Lie's request at this moment and has no reason to quit.
Although Zhao Lie definitely intended to get to know him at the beginning, whether it was dealing with Zheng Estate before or going into the mountains to hunt strange beasts, Zhao Lie had always been honest with him and treated him sincerely.
Under such circumstances, when Zhao Lie faces such danger, if he shrinks back, wouldn't he be a villain who is afraid of death and sacrifices his righteousness?
"Zhao remembered the friendship between the Chengfeng brothers."
When Zhao Lie heard Li Chengfeng's words, his eyes were full of emotion, and he turned around and left with great relief.
He came in a hurry and couldn't help but rush to ask for help as soon as he received the news. Therefore, he did not have time to prepare the necessary items. He really needed to go back and make preparations at this moment.
As he walked on the road, he couldn't help but think of how the martial arts disciples had treated him coldly and ridiculed him from time to time because of their family background and differences in status.
When I think about my interactions with Li Chengfeng now that I have grown up, I feel even more filled with emotion. I deeply feel that life's fate is like a sudden change and cannot be predicted.
He thought again of the government's requirement to guard the road for three days, so he couldn't help but squinted his eyes and made serious preparations to go back.
"I never thought that those private forests full of guards would become a place where these gangsters would not dare to trespass. Instead, this ordinary road became the choice of the gangsters."
Li Chengfeng looked at the back of Zhao Lie leaving, thinking of the time when he went hunting in the mountains
The private forest guards showed caution and emotion in order to prevent visitors like them from stealing the property in their private forests.
But then I thought that these mountains and forests have their own guards, but they don't need other people to guard them. If it weren't for the gangsters, they would definitely not go into the mountains and forests.
I don't know how the private forest guards stationed in the mountains will feel after receiving such news.
After all, it is common sense that True Qi Realm warriors would find it much more practical to escape and hide in the mountains and forests than to walk on the mountain roads.
It's just that it's common knowledge that warriors are stationed in private forests, so those people may subconsciously avoid it.
"My lord, those fugitives are all dangerous people. You must be careful."
Next to Li Chengfeng, Concubine Liu heard all the words Zhao Lie said after he came home. At this moment, seeing Zhao Lie leave, he couldn't help but said to him with a worried face:
"I'll prepare some unicorn meat rice balls for you, mixed with vegetables and rice, so that you will have the strength to deal with danger by then. Then wear the black snake scales you brought out of the mountains that day and the scales made of One-Horned Crocodile skin!"
Lightning flashed in his heart, Li Chengfeng heard Concubine Liu's words, his face also showed a gentle look, and touched Concubine Liu's cheek. "Okay, I'll do it, madam!"
