Chapter 78
“…………”
After a long speech, Du Mao remained unmoved and simply returned the idiotic gaze that Cheng Dalai had given him earlier.
Du Mao opened his mouth and knew he was an old river and lake, not as simple and kind as Lin Shaoyu. Naturally, Cheng Dali didn't think he could cheat Du Mao into the mountain stronghold, he just tried to test the effect of his own eloquence.
It seems that for now, there's no great use in dealing with this old hand Du Mao. However, it can't be ruled out that after some time when skills have improved, just a few words might be enough to fool Du Mao into submission.
"Hmph, wanting me to join the Frogman Village is fine too, unless you have the ability to defeat me fair and square!" Du Mao said with a flick of his sleeve.
Cheng Dalai didn't have the ability to hit the tiger, he rushed to Du Mao and said: "How about this, I'll find someone in the mountain stronghold to fight you, if you lose, you'll stay in the mountain stronghold?"
Du Mao showed a look of looking at an idiot again.
Cheng Dali shrugged and hummed a little tune as he left the dungeon. He hadn't convinced Du Mao, but Cheng Dali wasn't disappointed - he hadn't expected to anyway. After all, time was long, and who knows, maybe there would be another chance in the future.
After removing Du Mao, the big worm, it is equivalent to allowing the power of Ha Ma Fort to expand to Luo Ye City. Cheng Da Lei used a homing pigeon to contact Su Qing and learned that after Du Mao was removed, the group of villains he raised immediately scattered.
As a result, no one went to the bottom of the lake to stir up trouble again, and the wine house reopened. Business can be said to be quite good, with customers packed every day.
Through this matter, Cheng Dairen also harvested a wave of fear value. Du Mao himself was a notorious lazy insect in Luoye City, and his reputation was forged with one punch after another. Now that Cheng Dairen has defeated Du Mao, doesn't it prove that Cheng Dairen is even more terrifying than Du Mao?
Especially some big households protected by Du Mao, after knowing that Du Mao had fallen, they were uneasy in their daily lives, afraid of being remembered by the mountain bandits, which also contributed a lot of fear value to Cheng Daren. However, there were some small households and small businessmen who were bullied by Du Mao, these people even felt grateful to Cheng Daren.
This made Cheng Dairen's fear value income loss a lot.
Cheng Darui was naturally not satisfied with this, so he sent people to spread the word in Luoye City. The places where the news was spread were naturally taverns, teahouses, and crowded streets.
In such occasions, there is always someone who stands out and gives a opening speech which is usually nothing special.
"Hey, have you guys heard about what happened to Du Lao Da? I saw it with my own eyes that day..."
Next is how Cheng Dairen was so mighty and powerful. The opening scene showed both sides arguing with sharp tongues, and in the end, Cheng Dairen defeated Du Mao once again.
Rumors naturally have a big difference with the truth, and as they spread, they become more and more distorted. In the end, no matter how it's told, it always ends with one sentence: Cheng Dalai knocked Du Mao down with just one punch...
In fact, it's not that simple. With Qin Man's skills, he didn't even have the confidence to defeat Du Mao, let alone Cheng Dairen. But never mind if no one knows the truth, even if someone does know, not many people care about it anymore.
In late autumn, the weather gradually cooled down. On this day, Cheng Da Lei ordered his servants to go into town and purchase a batch of cotton-padded clothes and quilts in preparation for winter.
It was on this day that Gao Fei Bao and Yu Qiu Ran of the Flying Tiger Fortress arrived at the Toad Fort.
This time, they agreed to help, although not much was done, the Frog Village still had to acknowledge this favor. So these two were invited into the mountain stronghold's council hall, only Chou Tailei couldn't figure out what intentions these two had in coming up the mountain.
"Long time no see, how have you been lately?" said Gao Fei Bao.
"It's pretty good." Cheng Dairen said this sentence is true, recently the frog village has been thriving, everything is indeed pretty good. But Cheng Dairen couldn't understand why Gao Feibao, a rough man, suddenly became so refined today.
Gao Fei Bao gave Cheng Da Lei a white eye, thinking in his heart: Who doesn't know that you have no way out now, and your heart is probably very depressed. Now that you're being stubborn, what's the use?
"It's all right then, everyone is having a meal on one mountain, you're fine, and I'm at ease too."
Cheng Dalai was even more confused, what did this kid come here for today. He could only laugh and say: "Yes, everyone just needs to help each other out, so we can get better and better."
Gaofei Bao and Yu Quren exchanged a glance, both thinking to themselves: Finally getting to the point, you can't handle Du Mao, after all, it's still up to my brother.
To make it even more difficult for Cheng Da Lei, let him say it himself and ask for it.
But Gao Fei Bao had already spoken out: "Cheng Dang Jia, we all know what's going on."
Got it...... What did you get? Cheng Daire thought for a moment, and it was certain that he had grasped the matter of Du Mao, which had recently been made a big deal about, and it was a great honor for Cheng Daire and the entire Frog Village.
But at this moment, Cheng Darui became humble: "Ha, this is not a big deal."
Alas... Gao Fei Bao sighed, I've already given you a way out, how come you don't know to take it? Since that's the case, don't blame me for speaking the truth.
"Hmm, so you're saying that Master Cheng already has a plan?" High Flying Leopard's face turned cold.
"What method...... Cheng Dalai inexplicably, tentatively said: "There should be a way...""
"What method!" Gao Fei Bao immediately leaned over and asked.
Cheng Dali
Cheng Dalai was so angry that he wanted to give Gao Fei a slap in the face, but I don't know what method to use, and I don't even understand what you're talking about.
"Senior high school student, Yu Junshi, I have one thing to ask of you...". Cheng Dairen is thinking now, can't you just make things clear?
Gao Fei Bao's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "I thought Master Cheng would continue to be stubborn, now it's finally out."
"It's really not easy to get a word out of Cheng Dangjia's mouth." Yu Qian said calmly, sipping his tea.
Cheng Dairen's heart collapsed, with an expression of having no desire to live.
"Now that Brother Chang has spoken, I'll reluctantly agree to your request. My big brother has decided that this time he'll accompany you to Luoye City and personally meet with Du Mao, asking him to let the matter drop." Gao Fei said proudly.
Cheng Dali blinked his eyes, and suddenly had an epiphany, finally understanding something. He immediately opened his eyes wide, looking at Gao Fei Bao and Yu Qiu Ran with a bewildered expression.
"That matter has been settled, Du Mao has already been defeated by me."
"What!" exclaimed Gao Fei and Yu Qiu Ran simultaneously.
"Yes, Du Mao is now locked in the dungeon of Hamao Village." Cheng Dairen exclaimed incredulously: "This matter... you actually don't know!"
Indeed, Du Mao's affair was widely known in Luoye City. The Flying Tiger Fort is only fifty miles away from Luoye City, so they should have known about this matter too.
The Flying Tigers really didn't know, everyone stayed in the mountain stronghold, except for occasionally going out to rob, they also didn't often come out to turn around. And between strongholds and strongholds, it's not like they never visited each other.
"Cheng Dangjia, you're not joking, are you?"
Cheng Dali was shocked again by the information blockade of this era. He stood up helplessly and said, "Please come with me to the dungeon."
