Chapter 63: Ransom

  The truth about the Fist King's Gate is only known to a few people who survived at that time. Outsiders have no idea what happened and can only guess with their hearts. So, until now, many younger generations in the martial arts world still don't know who Pang Ban is. They are also unclear why the Fist King's Gate was destroyed.

  However, those diners who traveled far and wide, who didn't have a little gossip in their hearts? Even if it was just nonsense, they all listened with relish until the officials arrived and interrupted them. The rest of the matter was handled by the officials, and all the catchers in the small town were present, not daring to handle it privately, and immediately passed on the news at the first time.

  Let's put those aside for now and talk about Wu Ming bringing a few people here to Shili Slope.

  Outside the town, there is a place called Shili Slope. The name doesn't have any special meaning, it's just a geographical name. There is indeed a slope, but it's not ten miles long, only two or three miles. After passing this slope, to the north is the border of Liao State. Wu Ming and Hong Qi had come from this road before.

  Shili Slope, the surrounding area is barren and empty, and just over ten miles away is the Kunlun Mountain range. It can be said that there is no way to ambush here, and if you want to run, you can directly enter the mountain, which is not easy to chase. In a hurry, this place is also one of the most suitable places for a rendezvous, without needing to make any arrangements.

  If they were just people from the martial arts world, then go into the forest and break them one by one. If it was an official dispatch, then directly go to Liao State, Western Xia didn't have the guts to attack Liao State's border yet.

  When the time comes, Zhao Feng will be useless, and I don't believe the Zhao family won't send someone to chase after him. As long as he's not surrounded, Wu Ming is confident that he can take care of it. Heh heh, that's a huge amount of experience points! In just one month, from First Heaven Fifth Layer to First Heaven Ninth Layer, this really isn't a dream!

  In the Kunlun Mountains, Wu Ming was quite generous and went to hunt a few wild game, which could be considered as lunch for the old man and his grandson. Earlier, they had rushed out, but only after arriving here did Wu Ming realize that the two hadn't eaten lunch yet. After they finished eating, he gave them some silver coins and told them to go to Lingzhou Prefecture first, then he took Zhao Feng to Shili Slope to wait for the transaction.

  Going to the Lingzhou government office, the old man and his grandson were really frightened. Could it be that this old man was deceiving them? Did he want to send them to the Zhao family? However, the old man was decisive, thinking that the most dangerous place is also the safest place, so they went to the Lingzhou government office! If all else fails, they would still not be able to escape a disaster.

  This idea has a feeling of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, but it's a fact. The Zhao family is powerful, even if they really escaped to Liao Guo, wouldn't the Zhao family be unable to catch them? If this were said out loud, no one would believe it.

  The night was dark and the stars were sparse, with a gentle breeze carrying a hint of coolness blowing over.

  "Looks like it's going to rain! What a hassle!"

  Wu Ming shook his head, if it really rained, things would indeed become a bit tricky. Killing people on rainy days was not pleasant even for an experienced person like him, getting soaked to the skin, what kind of thing was that?

  Thinking about the 'experience points' he would gain in a few days, Wu Ming felt somewhat displeased. Killing people on rainy days was uncomfortable, and the wet feeling was unbearable.

  Wu Ming, who had a bad premonition about the upcoming days, saw several figures appearing on the horizon. They were walking slowly up the slope, carrying several large boxes in their hands. Judging from their footsteps, it seemed that the boxes were quite heavy and probably contained many good things.

  Not using silver notes, but using silver, what is this for?

  Wu Ming suddenly understood, and burst out laughing coldly. You think you can keep me here with just silver? I still have a space to store things! Old Zhao's family is going to lose both their wife and soldiers!

  Zhao Tianyu indeed had this idea, when he first heard that his youngest son was kidnapped, he was also furious and hated Wu Ming so much that he wanted to eat him. But what could he do? After all, his son was still in Wu Ming's hands, and his own wife was crying non-stop in front of him, while the few children on the side were even more grief-stricken.

  Zhao Tianyu, this is not the most infuriating thing. What's even more infuriating is that a young man like you doesn't give face to the Zhao family. Alright, let's say you're young and promising, your kung fu skills are good, but don't you have any sense of propriety? You directly killed people from the Zhao family, and even kidnapped the legitimate son of the Zhao family, and still want to extort money? This is truly heinous.

  The Zhao family has a history of over a hundred years in Lingzhou Prefecture, who among the surrounding people doesn't give them some face? Are you trying to cut off the Zhao family's face? If this is allowed and you are let go unharmed, how can my Zhao family still stand in Lingzhou Prefecture from now on? Wouldn't that make all the martial artists in the world laugh at us?

  Joke? How can it not be a joke? Being beaten by a teenager, isn't that humiliating? From now on, whenever people mention the Zhao family, they'll say that even a teenager can take them down, and yet they dare to call themselves a great family?

  Zhao Tianyu is not like Zhao Feng, he is steady and reliable, otherwise it would be impossible to manage such a large family. Although angry in his heart, he also understood some of Wu Ming's situation. However, Wu Ming had just arrived here, and even in this world, the situation he could understand was limited. Hmm, Zhao Tianyu also received news from Liao Guo that Quan Huang Men was destroyed!

  After a moment's thought, he had an idea. He found several old people at home and also brought some silver. One hundred million taels was impossible, but he managed to come up with ten million taels, which were pure silver, not silver notes.

  Why bring silver but not silver notes?

  This is where Zhao Tianyu was clever, the silver took up space and was heavy. If the other side only had one person, it would be embarrassing, the silver I brought with me, you let him go. This silver, huh, don't believe you can take it all away, even if you can carry it, you have to have the skill to take it away.

  If the other party is not a person, then it's possible to probe a little. The Zhao family in Lingzhou Prefecture is said to have an overwhelming influence, but they also offend many people. Moreover, how big is this piece of land in Lingzhou? What if the other party has a big background... Others may not know that there is a Mingjiao hiding on Mount Kunlun nearby, but what about the Zhao family's identity? As the local snakehead, no matter how little information they receive, they will still know something.

  It's not just knowing a little news, the Zhao family has to pay tribute every year. Tens of millions of taels of silver are sent to the mountain every year, otherwise this sky can be surnamed Zhao? A guardian deity from their family can easily destroy the Zhao family.

  And that's exactly what Zhao Tianyu thought, and it was also recognized by many people in the clan. Otherwise, in such a short period of time, even the master of the Zhao family couldn't gather so much silver. That thing is earned, not falling from the sky, and it's worth half a year's income for the Zhao family.

  Lingzhou Prefecture is not close to this small town, but it's also not far away. With a fast horse and whip, Zhao Tianyu will arrive in two or more hours. After resting for a while, he arrived at Shili Slope by nightfall. In fact, there are people who want to come and take a look, but the problem involves the face of the Zhao family, so Zhao Tianyu naturally wants to clear the scene. This is also why many people know about this matter, yet no one comes to watch the excitement.

  "This old man is Zhao Tianyu, which friend is it on the road ahead?"

  Wu Ming had seen Zhao Tianyu, and naturally, Zhao Tianyu, who was stronger than him, also saw him. He immediately spoke out, but his words sounded like a familiar greeting, and it was hard to detect any resentment in them.

  "Dad, dad, save me, save me!" Zhao Feng was originally exhausted, but as soon as he saw his old father, he suddenly regained his energy and shouted loudly.

  Wu Ming sneered, after all, he had experienced it in that world, so he naturally knew Zhao Tianyu's plan, wasn't it just a probe? I'm alone and have no one to rely on, but what can you do about it?
