At noon on this day, Wu Song came to an inn on the side of the road to eat.

It's in the middle of nowhere, and there are no major roads passing through it, so the inn doesn't do well. When Wu Song entered, there were only two tables of guests in the inn.

One table was a bald young man drinking wine and eating meat. At one table was a father and daughter, the father seemed to be seventy years old, and the daughter was only seventeen or eighteen years old. If it weren't for the man's father who heard his daughter shout in person, Wu Song would have thought that the two were grandchildren.

The woman is very smart and very likable.

Wu Song sat down at a table, and the shopkeeper immediately came over and said politely, "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?"

"Cut two catties of beef, and then another catty of wine. Wu Song said.

"Okay, wait a minute. The shopkeeper ran into the back kitchen.

After a while, the wine and meat came up. Wu Song had been on the road all morning, and his stomach was already hungry, so he immediately took a big bite to eat.

Wu Song was eating, and suddenly there was a 'clang', and the door of the inn was slammed open.

The force used by the person pushing the door was too great, and the two door panels hit the wall next to them, and they were directly damaged.

Wu Song frowned and looked towards the door.

Three people swaggered in, one of them walking in front and two in the back.

The man in front of him had a general's belly, his face was full of fat, and he had a pair of dead fish eyes. All three of them were armed with knives at their waists, and they didn't look like ordinary people.

Wu Song glanced at it a few times, but didn't care, and continued to eat his things.

As soon as the innkeeper saw these three people, as if he had seen Lord Yama, his face showed a look of horror, and he immediately stood out from behind the counter, and said with a sneer on his face, "Master Hou, you have worked hard. What is the wind that blows you?"

The fat man named Hou Ye sat down on a stool, raised his eyelids and said, "What kind of wind blew me here?

"Ouch, Master Hou, I really don't know what you said. The shopkeeper hurriedly picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for the Hou Ye.

"Shopkeeper, your business is not improving, and your head is getting smarter day by day, and you have learned to talk nonsense. It's okay for you to talk nonsense to others, and do you dare to talk nonsense to my lord?"

Hou Ye said.

"What you said, Master Hou, really tormented me, how dare I tell you nonsense? I really don't know why you came today. Please also ask Master Hou to give advice. ”

The way of the shopkeeper.

"Okay, Ming people don't say dark words, shopkeeper, this month's share of the money should be given, right?" Hou Ye squinted at the shopkeeper and said.

"Where did you start with this, Master Hou, the money has already been paid at the beginning of this month, how can you collect it again?" The way of the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid, you paid the money at the beginning of this month, but two days ago our boss stipulated a new share of the money, and the money you paid at the beginning of the month was not enough, and you need to make up for it. Hou Ye said.

"I don't know. Besides, I can't afford to pay my share money now, so why should I pay it again? Master Hou, you also know that my business here is not good, and if my share money is to be increased again, then I really can't continue to operate.

Master Hou, you are doing well, can you be accommodating and give this month's share of the money free?"

The shopkeeper pleaded.

"I'll give you a waiver, what do I eat and drink? What does our boss eat and drink? Do you want to starve us to death?"

"Oh, no, that's not what I meant, Master Hou.." The shopkeeper's hasty justification.

"Okay, shopkeeper, let's stop talking nonsense, since my lord is here today, I won't leave if I don't see the money. Hou Ye said lazily.

"Master Hou, you guys... You're such a bully, do you want to let people live? If I'm forced to do so... I—" The shopkeeper's face turned red and he was very angry.

"Yo! Are you losing your temper?" Hou Ye slapped the table and said sharply, "You dare to yell at me?

"Smack!" a bowl fell to the ground and shattered.

The eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl was originally holding a bowl of rice to eat, but she was frightened by Hou Ye, and the bowl fell from the little girl's hand.

Originally, the atmosphere in the inn was tense, and Hou Ye was staring at the shopkeeper fiercely, and the shopkeeper wanted to be angry, but he didn't dare to be angry. The two sides were at a stalemate, and at this time, the eyes of both sides were focused on the little girl.

Where did the little girl pass through such a scene, she was so frightened that she froze in place, and she didn't dare to come out.

"I'm sorry, everyone, I'm sorry, my daughter is not sensible, you don't want to be like her. Seeing that the situation was not good, the old father hurriedly came out to play a round, and then took his daughter's hand and stood up, "I'm sorry, everyone, let's go first, so I won't bother you." ”

After saying that, the old father took his daughter and walked briskly outside.

"Wait!" Hou Ye said unhurriedly.

The old father's body stiffened, and he was really afraid of anything. He is a local farmer, and he knows that this Hou Ye is not a good stubble, so he is in a hurry to get out. Unexpectedly, it still didn't work.

About twenty miles away from this inn, there is a place called Niutou Mountain. There is a group of bandits on the mountain, who are robbing houses and houses, losing their conscience and doing all the bad things.

The local government once sent troops to encircle and suppress, but the terrain of Niutou Mountain was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the bandits were extremely fierce.

Therefore, the government encircled and suppressed several times, and each time it was defeated.

Later, the governor of the government here changed one. The bandit leader bribed the chief with a lot of money, and the officials and bandits colluded.

In this way, the government also connived at the bandits of Niutou Mountain to commit evil acts.

The government can't manage it, but the people themselves can manage it. They raised money and brought in monks in the hope of eradicating the bandits from the mountains.

Helplessly, the bandit leader cultivated to a high level, and the common people successively invited several monks, and the highest cultivation reached the middle stage of the Yuan Seed Realm. But, without exception, these monks were killed by the bandit leaders.

The local people could not think about it, so they could only endure the exploitation of bandits.

Every family here has to pay a share of the money to the bandits, once a month, and if they dare not pay, then the bandits will kill the whole family.

That's how the money that Hou Ye asked the shopkeeper for.

The bandits are insatiable and set the money at an extremely high level, and after the common people pay their money, there is basically nothing left. Every day, they live with hunger.

Under the oppression of this gang of bandits, the local people are miserable.

"Master Hou, what else do you command?" said the old father with a smile on his face.

Hou Ye didn't speak, stood up, and slowly paced over. His eyes were firmly nailed to his little daughter's body, like a grate, from head to toe, from foot to head, brushing over and over again on his little daughter's body.

Under the gaze of the Hou Ye, the youngest daughter was so frightened that she trembled, hiding behind the old father, and did not dare to raise her eyes.

"Well, good, good, good. Hou Ye smiled and said three good words in a row.

At this time, how could the old father not know what Hou Ye was thinking, knelt down with a plop, and said, "Hou Ye, my child is still young, what has she offended you, and please let her father go if you have a large number of adults."

If you have any grievances, feel free to rush at me. ”

"What are you doing, old man? Did I tell you she offended me? Get up quickly. Hou Ye picked up the old father and said with a smile.

The old father hesitated, "Then, Master Hou, can we go?"

"Okay, you can go, little girl stay. Hou Ye said, staring at the little girl with squinting eyes.

"Daddy," the little girl cried out in fright.

"Master Hou, please let us go. The old father knelt down for the Hou Ye again.

"Tsk, I said, you're an old man, why are you so ignorant?" Hou Ye blamed the old father and said, "Didn't you see the child crying?

As he spoke, Hou Ye stretched out his fat hand to wipe the little girl's tears.

The little girl hurriedly jumped away and looked at Hou Ye with a frightened expression.

"Little girl, don't be afraid, come, let your uncle hug you. Hou Ye said shamelessly.

As he spoke, he walked towards the little girl.

Suddenly, a plate flew towards Hou Ye's face.

Hou Ye was taken aback, took a few steps back, and dodged the plate.

Don't look at Hou Ye's fat body, his body is not slow.

"Smack!", the plate fell to the ground and shattered. The plate was filled with fish-flavored shredded pork, and a little sauce splashed out and landed on Hou Ye's pants.

"Who threw the plate ?!!" Hou Ye was immediately furious and said sharply.

"Are you stupid?" said a deep voice, "and I'm just a guest here, and of course I threw it." ”

It was the bald young man who had been eating and drinking since Wu Song came in.

He stood up from his chair and looked at Hou Ye with a wide range of eyes.

The young man was extremely tall, nine feet long, with a sturdy body, and well-defined tendons and flesh could be seen under his thin clothes.

The young man's appearance was extremely handsome, his facial features were like those carved by a knife, his sword eyebrows were starry, and two thick eyebrows flew into the sideburns on both sides.

It's just that I don't know why, the youth doesn't have a single hair on his head.

"Damn, do you kid want to die?!" Hou Ye yelled.

"I don't want to die, I think you want to die. The young man said coldly.

"Bastard!" Hou Ye scolded, drew a knife in his hand, and slashed over.

The young man stepped sideways, raised his right palm high, and landed on Hou Ye's wrist like lightning.

"Ah!!" immediately resounded in the inn with a scream like a pig. Hou Ye's steel knife fell out of his hand, he covered his wrist and staggered back.

Wu Song had been watching secretly just now, and then he couldn't help but nodded, with an approving look in his eyes.

The young man had just slashed at Hou Ye's wrist with a pair of fleshy palms, and although there was no sharp blade in his hand, he had already cut off Hou Ye's wrist bones.

That palm contained an extremely strong Yuan force, and in Wu Song's estimation, the cultivation of the young man was at least in the early stage of the Yuan Seed Realm. Looking at the age of the young man, he is only about twenty, and he has such a cultivation, which is very powerful.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye, what's wrong with you?" Hou Ye's subordinates hurriedly supported Hou Ye and asked repeatedly.
