Chapter 10: A Comeback
"Dirty thing, open your eyes in the future!" A voice filled with satisfaction rang out, as a whip, like a venomous snake, struck fiercely towards a fallen man.
I tell you, not only have I come today, but I have come with great dignity! Today, I want the entire Luming Town to know that I, Zheng Hu, have returned, and everyone who owes me, Zheng Hu, must repay me in full!
On the black carriage, there is a carving of a roaring clouded leopard
Upon seeing the old man, Zheng Gongxuan's heart twitched
"Ah Hu, how many years has it been since you last returned to Lu Ming Town?" A faint voice, tinged with a hint of softness, came from within the luxuriously decorated carriage drawn by two fine horses
Here is Luming Town, please slow down your horses!" A voice filled with anger echoed from the crowd
Young Master San, rest assured, today Zheng Hu will certainly ensure that Elder San and you are satisfied. I, Zheng Hu, am able to return to Luming Town, thanks to the support of Elder Da and Elder San.
Bang
Boom
On the grand avenue leading to Luming Town, dozens of fine horses surrounded a carriage, racing towards Luming Town like the swift wind and flashing lightning
It is better not to provoke this strange woman. Thinking of the murderous aura emanating from Fu Yuqing, Zheng Ming immediately swallowed the words he was about to say
Thank you, two elders! At that moment, a look of wild joy appeared on Zheng Hu's face as he gazed at the already outlined Lu Ming Town, his entire being trembling with excitement
"Zheng Gongxuan, what do you intend to do?" A faint voice came from the carriage. A man dressed in a black robe, of short stature, with a long, narrow face, and a pair of unremarkable eyes, descended from the carriage. He appeared to be around fifty years old.
Who is Zheng Hu
... ...
Zheng Dali is the captain of the guard in Luming Town, and many times, he almost represents the entire face of Luming Town
"In front is Luming Town, everyone run!" The whip in the hand of the strong man pointed towards Luming Town, and in his voice, at that moment, there was a chilling coldness that sent shivers down one's spine
The eyes of the Han were filled with brutality, evoking an instinctive sense of fear that arose from the depths of one's heart at first sight
The young man chuckled and said, "Alright, Zheng Hu, I indeed did not misjudge you!"
For this man, a hint of disdain emerged in Zheng Hu's eyes, yet his expression was even more respectful this time
The man who was speaking clearly did not expect the newcomer to arrive so quickly. Unable to dodge in time, he swung his fist to meet Zheng Hu's punch.
At that moment, Zheng Hu, riding a fiery red stallion, soared into the air, his fist striking fiercely towards the man who had spoken.
A beautiful woman easily becomes a topic of great interest. Lu Ming Town is not very large, and for someone as outstanding as Fu Yuqing, who is elegantly dressed, poised, and extremely graceful, it is only natural that people would pay attention. Therefore, even before this small shop opened, almost everyone knew that this beautiful woman was the wife of Young Master Zheng Er
Although no longer provoking Fu Yuqing, after finishing a large bowl of porridge, Zheng Ming couldn't help but give Fu Yuqing a good review in his heart
Hahaha
The tattered cotton-padded jacket was torn apart by a subtle inner force implied by the whip, and the worn-out cotton filling scattered in an instant
In the eyes of most people, this is merely a flirtation between a young man and a young woman
Zheng Dali was pulled up, and Zheng Hu surrounded the carriage in which the Third Elder was seated, thundering towards Zheng Ming's home
At this moment, Zheng Dali finally saw the face of the person who had arrived. His gaze sharpened, and then he shouted angrily: "Zheng Hu, you... you dare to come back!"
If I could have such a woman cook for me for a lifetime, that would be quite nice
Several farmers entering the town, in a hurry to evade, not only fell to the ground, but also scattered the fruits, vegetables, and eggs they were carrying on their backs all over the ground
Zheng Gongxuan, you would not have expected that I, Zheng Hu, have returned again
The young man was dressed in a complete set of white attire, holding a folding fan in his hand, exuding a sense of elegance and charm
At this moment, seeing Young Master Zheng Er speaking to his wife in such a manner, many people began to watch the commotion with amused expressions.
Although the man was robust, how could he possibly compare to a warrior? Unable to dodge in time, he was struck by the whip, and the intense pain caused him to let out a mournful cry
And from the moving carriage came a faint laugh, saying: "Ah Hu, the Grand Elder and I have high hopes for your return to Luming Town. Zheng Gongxuan's injuries are serious, so you may proceed without restraint."
Having finished drinking, she heavily placed the bowl in front of Zheng Ming and turned to leave
"Zheng Hu, you wretched being, how dare you come to Luming Town to cause trouble? Today, I will ensure that you cannot leave!" Zheng Gongxuan, accompanied by Zheng Heng, said as he fixed his gaze firmly on Zheng Hu.
Zheng Ming even felt that he could drink this rice every day for the rest of his life
Zheng Hu, upon returning to Luming Town this time, you are the master of Luming Town, so be sure to host Elder San and me well!" A snow-white steed carried a youth of about fourteen or fifteen years old.
As fierce as a dragon, as powerful as a raging wind
"Zheng Hu is back, Zheng Hu is back!" A man who appeared to be in his thirties, after carefully scrutinizing Zheng Hu's face for a few moments, suddenly seemed to go mad and ran towards the town
The soaring sword intent vanished completely in an instant, but when Li Xiaoduo pulled him into the shop, Fu Yuqing coldly uttered four words!
It is said that you are arrogant and overbearing in Luming Town. I did not believe it until today when I saw you. Now I realize that you, Zheng Gongxuan, are not just any kind of arrogant and overbearing. In your eyes, is there no family left, and is there no respect for me as an elder?
Without further ado, directly punishing him would be tantamount to slapping the face of Zheng Gongxuan, the head of the town
"Hahaha, what do I have to be afraid of returning? I am back now!" Zheng Hu's hair stood on end, and a cold, gloomy light shot from his eyes. As he spoke, he waved his hand towards the man behind him and said, "Zheng Dali crashed into the third elder's carriage, give him fifty lashes!"
Fu Yuqing raised his head and cast a fierce glance at Zheng Ming. After a moment of hesitation, he still walked over gracefully, holding a large bowl.
Engineer Zheng Xuan remained silent as he stepped forward. At this moment, he had no choice; despite his injuries, he was determined to take action
Like a fierce tiger bursting out of its cage, this time, however, he was as docile as a little kitten. He clasped his hands on the horse and gently said: "In response to Elder Three, I have not returned to this Deer Call Town for ten years."
Zheng Dali, you have been holding up this old fellow Zheng Gongxuan's stinky feet for such a long time, yet his cultivation remains so poor, hahahaha! Zheng Hu sat atop his red-maned steed, laughing heartily towards the sky.
Accompanied by this shout, tranquility descended in an instant. Just moments ago, the street was bustling with people like a tide, but it was as if a gust of wind had swept through, leaving the street almost deserted. Many hurriedly rushed home, and within just a quarter of an hour, only a few cats remained in Luming Town.
Zheng Hu stared wide-eyed at Zheng Gongxuan, his eyes filled with flames of hatred: "Hahaha, Zheng Gongxuan, you really have quite the authority, making it so I can neither come nor go, just based on you?"
It can be said that without the Great Elder and the Third Elder, there would be no present-day Zheng Hu! I am a rough person, not eloquent in speech, but I ask the Third Elder and the Third Young Master to observe my performance!
Fu Yuqing, who served rice to the guests with a smile on her face, raised her elegant eyebrows as she looked at the suddenly empty street
At the forefront is a fiery red stallion, ridden by a robust man who stands eight feet tall, with arms so muscular that they could rival the slender waist of a young maiden
The rice is ordinary, yet its flavor is exceptionally good. Zheng Ming took a spoonful and put it in his mouth; the taste is very pure and authentic, soft and smooth.
The words spoken were very calm, yet the moment they entered Zheng Ming's mind, he felt a chill of cold sweat rising in his heart
In the moment of collision, Zheng Hu's body resembled a spinning top, landing back on the red-maned horse, while the man who confronted him was directly knocked down to the ground
Elder San? Zheng Hu, this is Luming Town, you..." Before Zheng Dali could finish his words, two men rushed forward and directly restrained Zheng Dali, while another person wielding a riding whip swung it down towards Zheng Dali's head and face.
Zheng Ming was about to speak when he heard Fu Yuqing's voice beside him: "I am also skilled in the art of massage; would the second young master like to give it a try?"
At this moment, the people around Luming Town had already hidden far away, and some faces displayed a look of fear
Zheng Hu is ... ... the biggest villain in Luming Town. I heard my mother say that if it weren't for Master Zheng Xuan and Lord Zheng driving Zheng Hu away, the entire ... ... the entire Luming Town would have been harmed by him. He ... ... how could he have come back!" Li Xiaoduo said while pulling Fu Yuqing, "Young Madam, this ... ... this Zheng Hu must be coming for the Master. We should hide quickly!"
Son of a dog
The fifty lashes were swift, yet these fifty lashes reduced Zheng Dali, a vigorous man, to a state of near death
Zheng Hu's foot struck heavily against the gate of the garrison, the black lacquered door was forcefully knocked away, and two servants who failed to dodge were slammed to the ground by the door panel, letting out a piercing scream
Fu Yuqing's beautiful eyebrows twitched, and a chilling aura of murderous intent surged forth from her. However, at the moment this murderous intent was about to erupt, she softly murmured to herself: "No, my master has instructed me to experience the world; unless absolutely necessary, I must not resort to swordsmanship to resolve issues"
According to the family's decision, in order to ensure the safety of Luming Town, starting today, Zheng Hu will serve as the deputy mayor of Luming Town, responsible for the management of the entire Luming Town during Zheng Gongxuan's recovery from injury
A mouthful of fresh blood gushed forth from that man's mouth
Although we have already arrived at the town entrance, the convoy that rushed in howled past, seemingly moving three times faster than at the beginning
