Martial Arts Domination: Start with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique-Chapter 34 - The Foundation of Black Goose City!

Now, with Black Goose City facing such a crisis, if bandits breached the city, these forces would also suffer losses.

If the county government office opened their mouths, offering benefits and promises, they may not refuse to leave the city to suppress the bandits.

But it seemed like there was no need for him to take this risk.

Qin Zheng hesitated for a moment in his heart.

Forget it!

He still wasn’t clear about the county government office’s true intentions; everything was just his own speculation at the moment.

Best not to think too much for now, he would address the issue when he truly faced it.

Qin Zheng shook his head and then cleared his mind of these thoughts.

Following that, he headed towards the western part of the city.

Now with Black Goose City under blockade by those bandits, after a round of looting, only the western side still had grain for sale.

The streets were sparsely populated, with people outside either due to livelihood needs, clearly, the citizens of Black Goose City did not wish to leave their homes.

However, as he was about to leave the eastern district, he suddenly saw a crowd gathered at a corner of the street.

He saw a group of poor citizens, thinly clothed, with sallow skin and emaciated bodies, clearly malnourished.

They sat huddled around a young monk in white robes.

They had devout expressions, following the monk in chanting scriptures.

These citizens, obviously unable to satisfy their material needs, turned to worship Buddhas and seek spiritual consolation.

But no matter how many times they recited the sutras, whether a thousand times or ten thousand, grain would not materialize out of thin air.

Those deities would also not emerge to provide shelter and safety in perilous times.

Qin Zheng shook his head and then withdrew his gaze, quickly heading towards the west of the city.

Afterwards, Qin Zheng spent a high price to buy quite a bit of grain in the western part of the city.

His generous display soon drew the lingering citizens to look back repeatedly.

During this process, some with ill-intentions tried to stealthily follow Qin Zheng, intending to snatch the grain and silver coin.

Yet often before they could act, they were held back by their companions, who warned in a low voice, “Are you out of your mind?

That’s Qin the Beheader, even the Canal Gang doesn’t dare to make a sound around him!”

Besides these people, there were also powers that recognized Qin Zheng and subsequently sent grain to him.

Among them were first-rate forces within Black Goose City, such as the Canal Gang.

Bewildered by this turn of events, those grain merchants who had taken Qin Zheng’s high prices promptly came forward to return the silver taels.

Therefore, in this trip, Qin Zheng not only spent little money, but he also gained a lot of grain.

This was a benefit of increased strength.

Fist is authority!

Qin Zheng had some realization about this.

He brought the grain back to the dilapidated temple in the eastern part of the city.

Qi Yan was also quickly and efficiently preparing dinner.

After they had finished eating,

night fell.

Qin Zheng stood up and said to Qi Yan, “I have to go out for a while, take care of them.”

The county government office was in the north of the city, leaving now would indeed be the right timing.

Qi Yan nodded and advised as usual, “Brother Qin, be careful.”

Qin Zheng slung the Ghost Head Greatsword over his shoulder, stepped out of the temple, and quickly vanished into the night.

The night in Black Goose City became even quieter and more serene.

Especially after entering the northern part of the city, this sensation became even more apparent.

If it weren’t for the occasional human voices emanating from houses on both sides of the road, Qin Zheng would have thought he had arrived in a ghost town.

Moreover, upon arriving here, an uncomfortable feeling arose within him.

It was as if someone was secretly watching him, causing a faint irritation to emerge in his heart.

His brow also twitched subtly a couple of times.

This situation made Qin Zheng more alert, and he became even more cautious.

It wasn’t long before Qin Zheng arrived at the location of the government office.

At this moment, groups of people had already gathered at the entrance of the government office.

When Qin Zheng’s figure appeared, it immediately caught the attention of many.

It was because the Ghost Head Greatsword he carried behind him was too distinctive.

Ordinary martial artists would not use such a broad greatsword.

Therefore, Qin Zheng’s identity was easily recognized.

As soon as Qin Zheng arrived at the entrance of the government office, several figures approached him.

“Brother Qin, you’ve come as well!”

Zhang Wei, the leader of the Canal Gang, was the first to come before Qin Zheng and warmly spoke.

His words and tone were quite friendly, as if he and Qin Zheng were good brothers, not opponents who had confronted each other not long ago.

Qin Zheng nodded his head.

There’s a saying, ‘don’t hit the face that smiles at you.’

The other party had kept his promise and had not harassed him further, even sending him a substantial amount of food during the day.

Naturally, Qin Zheng would not ignore him and cause him to lose face in front of others.

“Come, come, let me introduce you.

This is Master Wei of the Black Tiger Gang.”

“This is Master Xing of the Zhuque Gang, and this is Master Xiong of the Tri-Yuan Gang.”

Leader Zhang Wei introduced Qin Zheng to the martial artists by his side.

All of them were around fifty years of age and were martial artists of the Sinew Refining Realm.

It was also Qin Zheng’s first time learning about the local factions in Black Goose City and the Sinew Refining Realm martial artists behind those powers.

He did not act superior but gave a fist salute to each, introducing himself in return.

Thus, in front of the government office, Qin Zheng had thoroughly made the acquaintance of these gang leaders who pulled the strings behind the scenes in Black Goose City.

Besides these few individuals, there were also some independent martial artists.

Among them, there were those who had broken through the Second Major Pass and reached the Flesh Refining Realm, as well as those who had broken through the Third Major Pass and entered the Sinew Refining Realm.

The hidden strength in Black Goose City was indeed formidable.

At least there were more martial artists in the Sinew Refining Realm than Qin Zheng had anticipated before.

When Qin Zheng subconsciously started to think of this,

A figure hurriedly ran out from the gate of the government office and called out loudly, “Everyone has been waiting for a long time, the dinner has been prepared inside, please come in quickly!”

“Steward Liu!”

Zhang Wei and others saluted the person with a fist.

Qin Zheng turned his gaze and saw that the individual was slim and lean, with a goatee, and bright eyes, clearly a shrewd character.

“Please come in, please come in.

It’s my oversight to have kept all of you waiting outside for so long.”

“Leader Zhang, Master Wei, Master Xing…

Young Master Qin.”

Steward Liu greeted everyone warmly and efficiently.

After walking into the government office, he led everyone swiftly through a secluded path and into a garden.

And at that moment, the place was brightly lit, with singing girls and dancers, and a spread of fine wines and delicacies.

Everyone was amazed to find such lavish indulgence within the government office.

Qin Zheng’s gaze, however, was fixed on a figure not far away, a monk in white robes who had already taken his seat!
