Chapter 2, Max Level BOSS Outside the Novice Village

After the State of Qin captured Yingdu, Nanyang Commandery remained quite peaceful for a long period. As mercenaries, they were able to meet their food needs through farming, but they still required trade in goods to supplement their shortages of arrows and armor.

What is going on? The work is not yet finished

On the shaded path, Zhao Shuang took a palm fan and rested under the tree

Xun Kuang was somewhat curious; this little chubby boy, around ten years old, held a special status among this group of people

In the midst of the mountains and forests, Zhao Laosi gazed at this scene and smiled faintly

Not good, tough nut.

You will encounter it sooner or later

The villagers of Zhao Family Village seldom read or practice writing, and most of them only recognize the terminology necessary for military operations.

Zhao Shuang was originally sleeping, but was awakened by the fragrance, and just happened to see this scene.

Zhao Shuang, having nothing to do, also wrote some poetry and prose for future generations. He once thought about writing a novel, but considering the audience and the length, he decided against it

"Abandoning this sword, do you not feel it is a pity?"

I am the strongest sword, what is there to regret

Burn it, burn it!

Zhao Shuang

Until recently, the net received his message

Little brother, is this poem written by you

Little brother, do you see anything of value on my person? If you desire it, I can give it to you; there is no need to resort to such means

Several villagers from Zhao Family Village were chatting while arranging their goods

For some unknown reason, at the very moment he closed his eyes, a collective sigh of relief was felt among the top swordsmen of this world present at the scene

During wartime, the villagers of Zhao Family Village serve as mercenaries, accepting tasks from various countries. In peacetime, they occasionally engage in some illicit activities to earn a bit of gray income

Of course, it is for money

Writing novels in this era can definitely lead to significant losses

The elderly swordsman slightly curled the corners of his mouth, as if hinting at something in his words, and slowly closed his eyes

Zhao Shuang found it somewhat strange that his bamboo slips had also been mixed in with the clutter and brought out. However, he did not pay much attention to it, as he himself had been carelessly tossing around these scraps.

This itself is an act of showing weakness

These swordsmen have roamed for many years, having slain countless formidable foes. However, for a person on the brink of death, it makes no difference whether they are killed or not

A gentleman can be deceived by virtue. Xun Kuang, you ultimately cannot let go of this love for talent!

The villagers of Zhao Family Village looked at this scene, their hearts filled with shock. Could this person be the legendary unparalleled master?

In this day and age, there is no such thing as intellectual property, and Zhao Shuang shamelessly admitted it

Before the tea even reached his lips, Xun Kuang already had a certain understanding of it

It is precisely these top assassins in the martial world who can sense the old man's power, yet cannot comprehend the meaning behind his words

Zhao Shuang, lacking firewood, we will burn these scraps of yours

Zhao Shuang was completely unconcerned and began to eat a steamed bun.

In the eyes of the Zhao family, the young Zhao Shuang is merely an unremarkable little chubby boy. Due to his good relationship with the leaders, he often puts in minimal effort during assignments.

All of Xun Kuang's attention was focused on this bamboo slip

We have come not only to take your life but also to inquire about the whereabouts of the "Spirit Chapter Sword Technique"

Xun Kuang seems to find it somewhat strange, why there would be such a small stall in this desolate mountain path

Cutting the diameter is a technical task, not to mention that Zhao Laosi is an idealistic bandit

A small stall was set up by the roadside, offering tea and refreshments

Before Zhao Shuang could provide an answer, Xun Kuang grasped Zhao Shuang's shoulder and, in a few swift movements, vanished from the sight of the crowd, leaving the villagers of Zhao Village in a state of bewilderment

One does not dare to eat those that are too fat, as they are likely to be the subordinates of certain nobles and officials; should retaliation occur, it would be unfortunate. Likewise, those that are too thin cannot be consumed, for they seek wealth, not life.

Isolated... isolated retrieval of objects.

Though young in age, their cultivation is profound. This technique seems unfamiliar.

The newcomer appeared spirited and impressive, dressed in extraordinary attire, undoubtedly seen as a prime catch in the eyes of the villagers of Zhao Family Village

Dear guest, it has been a tiring journey, please have a cup of tea

I have not used the name 'Yanzhi' for a long time, nor do I need it anymore

The eight top-ranked swordsmen of the organization have almost gathered the most elite forces to come to this nameless place, for the most significant traitor in the history of the organization

Hundreds of swordsmen advanced through the mountains and forests, surrounding this small house

What is your name, young brother

It already has an heir

Xun Kuang faced the swords and blades, yet remained oblivious, instead asking in a friendly manner

His gaze flickered for a moment and soon fell upon Zhao Shuang, who was sleeping.

At last, this small stall welcomed its first customer

What a pity for this tea

I suppose so

Look at this roadside, there isn't even a shadow of a person

Xun Kuang seemed to have some understanding and inquired.

The door opened, and the bloodthirsty swordsman revealed a look of disappointment on his face

For over a hundred years, few have been able to make the net of the Luo family collapse. Yet at this moment, their target is sitting cross-legged on the ground, barely breathing.

They have engaged in such practices of cutting corners more than once or twice

A dozen or so individuals wielding swords and knives faced a defenseless person. However, the dynamics of offense and defense were entirely different

This is a bizarre scene

The sun is high in the sky, and a fragrant aroma wafts from the steamer. In the stove, meat broth is simmering, bubbling away.

Zhao family

The aged swordsman exuded a powerful aura, causing these top-tier swordsmen, who had experienced bloodshed, to feel a chill in their hearts

Xun Kuang did not expect to receive such an answer, feeling somewhat helpless

Senior Yan

Indeed, some have already been unable to restrain themselves and have drawn their swords

It is evident that there is not much time left to live

The several villagers present were quite clever; having organized the ingredients, they began to light the stove

Fifteen years I served in the military, and at eighty I finally returned home. On the road, I encountered a fellow villager: Who is there in your family...

Who is it

Zhao Shuang is an exception; Zhao Laosi taught him to read and write from a young age. Items like bamboo slips, which are not commonly used by ordinary people yet are relatively expensive, were provided to him in unlimited quantities.

After all, articles in this era are primarily focused on conciseness. The various schools of thought, each with their magnificent works, often consist of thousands of words, while the shorter ones contain only a few hundred or a few thousand words

... ...

Why does the patriarch want us to set up a stall here, this is not a trade route

Xun Kuang sat down in accordance with the situation, and as he surveyed his surroundings with a pair of eyes, he noticed the bamboo slips on the stove that had not yet been completely burned.

Having spoken, Xun Kuang then tossed the tea from his cup, feeling somewhat regretful

In the mountain cabin, beneath the eaves, a spider web is intricately woven, and a large spider is waiting above for its prey

Do you know who composed this poem?

The previous master of the Sun-Blocking Sword, after defecting, evaded capture for many years. Except for the time spent in Zhao Family Village, the rest of the time was spent in these desolate mountains

Zhao Shuang does not care at all

At such a young age, yet possessing such a compassionate heart, why resort to banditry

Xun Kuang spoke softly, and the villagers from Zhao Family Village had already come to greet him

Just as the villagers of Zhao Family Village were on the verge of conflict, Xun Kuang extended his hand, fingers together, and a scattered bundle of bamboo slips by the stove came into his grasp

I am about to travel to Guigu, in response to an invitation from an old friend. Would you, young brother, be willing to accompany me
