Chapter 44

  The aftermath of that battle would take a long time to subside. After this, Cheng Dalai thoroughly made a name for himself in the surrounding areas of Qingniu Mountain. People only talked about how the Toad King ate ten kilograms of human flesh and two kilograms of human blood with each meal, and how he had a green face, fangs, and a wide mouth.

  The notorious name of Toad King has been called out, and Cheng Dali still plans to find time to think of a more upscale nickname for himself, such as Gentle Little Axe, Sai Pan An Qiao Song Yu, etc. Now that everyone recognizes the four characters "Toad King", thinking about changing names will lose fans.

  Correspondingly, Cheng Dairen also gained a certain amount of fear value, which has now reached 4,000, but still has some distance from the 10,000-point fear value.

  These days, Cheng Dairen has been annoyed by this matter. How can he quickly increase his fear value and obtain the authority to establish a point of view platform? Let's take a look at what this point of view platform is all about.

  Still can't think of a way, always suddenly jump in front of others and try to scare them, looks very ridiculous.

  Three days after the incident, Cheng Dairen was resting under a big tree on a hot day.

  "Big boss, someone has come from down the mountain and seems to want to see you." Xugongji and Huang San Yuan came over.

  "Go, take me to see."

  Three people crouched on the wall of the mountain stronghold, looking down to see three horses below. The leader wore black clothes and gazed at the gate of Hamao Stronghold with an ambiguous expression.

  "What is he doing?" Cheng Dairen asked in confusion.

  "I know him." Huang San Yuan said suddenly.

  "Oh, let's hear it." Cheng Dairen leaned on the railing, looking down at the mountain, only to see the leader with a stern expression.

  "Heishicheng has a local gang called the Wild Wolf Gang, with over a hundred members. I know this man from down the mountain, his name is Li Jia, he's the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang. This guy has been hiding in Heishicheng for many years and is quite a character." said Huang San Yuan.

  "Wild Wolf Gang... just hearing this name, it's obvious they're uncultured." Cheng Darui said disdainfully.

  Xu Shenji and Huang San Yuan were speechless, as if the three words "Baozhai Village" didn't have much culture either. In fact, mountain strongholds and gangs are both part of the green forest, which is also known as the black way. Of course, in people's minds, gangs have a slightly higher status.

  "We and the Wild Wolf Gang have always been like well water and river water, never interfering with each other. What do you think he's coming over for?" Xu Shenji asked.

  "I think... he might be here to speak on behalf of Xue Banchuan." Cheng Dalai said, "Xue Banchuan wants to redeem that longevity gift back."

  "This......" Xu Shenji said in disbelief: "It's not very possible, we robbed them of their things, he shouldn't attack us, how can he still cooperate with us, we are mountain bandits."

  "He didn't not want to fight us, but he had no time." Cheng Dalai said: "Xue Banchuan has just usurped the position of the city master, and many forces in the city need to be pacified. The birthday banquet of the King of Youzhou is approaching, and he doesn't have so much time to entangle with us, so taking back this gift is the best solution. Of course, if Xue Banchuan has the leisure to deal with us, it's a certainty."

  "Huang San Yuan praised: 'The master of the house is reasonable.'"

  "But what I don't understand is..." Cheng Dairen looked at Li Jia in confusion, who was standing at the foot of the mountain: "He can come to negotiate, but why is he lingering around down there?"

  "I heard that..." Huang San Yuan said: "This Li Jia has a very big temper, once Han Hu Zong wanted to see him, two hours he didn't say a word, in the end it was still Han Hu Zong who spoke first, only then did he speak."

  "Oh, so you're a proud person... " Cheng Dairen's mouth curled up: "I just like proud people."

  "Should I invite him up the mountain instead of going down?" Huang San Yuan said.

  "Whatever... since he likes waiting, let him wait then." Cheng Dairen leaned back and looked up at the sun in the sky: "Today's a nice day, huh?"

  Today is indeed good weather, good weather means very hot, the environment in the mountain forest is even hotter, sweat came out layer by layer, rough linen clothes stuck to the body, small insects in the dense forest flew onto the body, including flies, mosquitoes, stink bugs... People who are used to air-conditioned rooms can't imagine this kind of suffering.

  Of course, people in this era still have a strong tolerance for the scorching heat, and Li Jia is not pampered, so at first he can still bear it.

  But this matter was not as he had imagined. Cheng Dalai's analysis was correct, Li Jia was indeed entrusted by Xue Banquan to act as a mediator between the two parties. He belonged to the Green Forest Way and it was convenient for him to speak on both sides. However, Li Jia did not think much of the mountain bandits, and the Green Forest Way also had a chain of contempt for local gangs like the Wild Wolf Gang, who were in cahoots with corrupt officials and engaged in shady dealings. We are civilized people, how can we be compared to those rustic bumpkins in the mountains? What was that saying again: I hate you robbers the most, you don't even have any technical skills...

  Indeed, Cheng Da Lei defeated Lu Hong, his reputation... well, it's notorious. But what's the big deal? He just used some tricks, and Lu Hong's combat strength... isn't as exaggerated as they say.

  So Li Jia has a meaning of condolence, coming to the village after chatting with them about the city's news, letting them broaden their horizons. By the way, also mention one's own intention, such as what the city owner is very angry, the consequences are very serious fortunately I look at the green forest road emotional debt, pressed down for you, otherwise you will die quickly take out the longevity gift, Xue City Lord great kindness, reward you some money... This is my hard-won request...

  But things didn't go as he thought, very different. By the way, why is today's weather so hot? Clothes are wet and sticky on the body, it feels like ants are crawling on me, itching and painful. If I untie my clothes to take a look, will I ruin my temperament?

  Obviously saw a few people lurking around the wall, why not open the door to welcome, is it preparing for a welcoming ceremony...... Ah, no need to be too troublesome, no need to be too troublesome......

  However, this preparation time was also a bit too long, from morning to noon, the scorching sunlight fell on the ground, and the leaves and grass were all scorched.

  Li Yajun was dizzy and fell off his horse, now he almost understood that this didn't seem to be the rhythm of a welcoming ceremony.

  Looking up at the tightly closed gate above his head, he took a deep breath and shouted in his loudest voice: "Wild Wolf Gang's Li Jia... requests an audience..."

  Cheng Dali had just woken up from his afternoon nap and was washing his face with well water when Xushenji walked over: "Master, the people below have started shouting. Do you want to keep them waiting..."

  "What a waste! If we keep wasting time, we'll get heatstroke." Cheng Dalai wiped his face: "Let them come up, you and Huang San Yuan talk to him, see what price Xue Ban Chuan will offer?"

  In Li Jia's dazed eyes, the gate of Hama Village opened and Huang San Yuan appeared in his line of sight. Li Jia was like seeing a lifesaver. He still wanted to put on airs, but thinking of what had just happened, he dispelled this idea.

  "Long time no see, Huang!"
