Chapter Nine, The Turmoil at the Tavern.

Zheng Peng said awkwardly: "She had only been in the mountain stronghold for half a year, and none of the brothers in the stronghold could beat her, so they made her the leader of the stronghold. She even wants us to call her sister. If we don't listen to her, she can tie people up with a whip for a whole day. But she has a good heart and doesn't let us kill people. The second leader gathered a group of brothers for this and took away the stronghold's belongings."

"Pa", a lump of gold was slapped on the table, and the man said, "Ten taels of gold, give me wine!"

While everyone was amazed, someone next to the screen suddenly had a seizure.

Li Qiang took out a famous liquor he bought in his hometown, which was a bottle of "Wuliangchun" produced in Sichuan. He also took out six small glass cups and placed one in front of each person. He opened the bottle and poured a full cup for everyone, saying with a smile, "This is the real good liquor!"

Li Qiang was about to take out the wine, when suddenly the screen "bang" fell down and a short, skinny dwarf jumped over.

Zhao was furious and almost went crazy, rushing after them. Li Qiang and Mei Jingjing reacted quickly and followed suit.

When he opened the wine bottle himself, Ling Hongxuan was the first to exclaim, "Oh, it smells so good! What flavor is this? Ah, it's the fragrance of wine. This is the first time I've smelled such a unique wine aroma!"

Zhao Hao raised his glass and said, "Master, please have a drink of this excellent wine produced here. This wine is the famous 'Ten Li Fragrance', which is rarely found elsewhere."

The shop assistant said with a bitter face, "Sir, the wine was brought by the guest. We don't have it in the shop. If you still want to drink, I will go and fetch a pot of Ten Li Fragrance."

The little girl let go of her hand, without a trace of tears, and said with a smile on her face, "If you promise, then let's go!"

No one expected this move, and the three of them were all stunned.

Zheng Peng finally had his eyes opened. He saw a flaming purple dragon spiraling out from Li Qiang, which then shattered the nine thin white ropes as it spun. Following that, seven or eight palm-sized golden eagles flew out from Li Qiang's hands, screeching as they soared into the sky.

I want to sit next to Brother Li, let me! Meijingjing doesn't care about those rules, chasing after Zhaohao.

Mei Jingjing exclaimed, "My brother is still the best. Kuroko, you don't seem like a man, stealing things from a little girl."

Mei Jingjing saw it at a glance, her face turned pale with fright. She "scraped" off the ground and jumped onto Li Qiang's back, sobbing, "Oh my goodness, it's so scary!"

Hey, you little shopkeeper! Why won't you sell us your good wine? Are you bullying me because I'm poor? Here's ten taels of gold, I want the wine from the table next door!

The man grabbed the bottle and jumped aside, laughing loudly, "You guys have been talking for so long, I can guess who is who. I am nothing, I am just here for this bottle of wine!" He leaped out of the tavern, laughing hysterically in the air, "Haha, fooled you! Hahaha..."

Three young people were together, and the caravan suddenly became lively. Li Qiang found that Niu Niu was mischievous and cunning, loved to play and make trouble, which gave the people in the caravan a headache. However, this suited Li Qiang's temperament, as he also liked to be unrestrained.

A loud rustling sound emerged.

Zhao Hao shouted, "Be careful, it's a shadow-shooting insect!" He drew his precious sword, his expression becoming serious.

Inside the shadow insect split open by the black mark, there is a blue flashing bead.

The crowd was momentarily stunned, was it him who just spoke?

Mei Jingjing bravely swung her whip, and each insect was tightly entangled by three thin whip shadows, immediately unable to move. The insects squeaked and six blue lights shot over. Li Qiang's Hundred Blade Spear quickly flew out more than ten spear shadows, hitting the blue lights with a crisp sound. Several clangs were heard, and six blue sharp thorns fell to the ground.

Three bugs the size of water tanks appeared in front of them. The bugs looked strange, with bright red bodies covered in black spots, a single eye on their heads, and mouthparts consisting of two sharp needles, each over a foot long, shining with a strange blue light.

The shop assistant approached the table with a mournful expression and said to Li Qiang, "Dear customers, kind sirs, please pity me and consider selling this wine to the shop."

Zheng Peng reached out and took it out, "What kind of bead is this, it's so beautiful." He rubbed it on his clothes, and the blue bead became even more crystal clear and lovely.

As they went upstairs and took their seats, Mei Jingjing and Zhao Hao started to engage in a lively discussion.

Zhao Hao also froze, put down the wine bottle and stood up, hesitantly asking, "You are...?" He couldn't remember who he was.

Mei Jingjing chuckled and said, "Big brother, if you can't drink, then don't drink. This kind of good wine can be intoxicating."

Zhao Haodao: "Everyone should be careful, the monsters here are very powerful."

Three shadow-shooting insects shot out thorns from the shooter, immediately withered and died, and were killed by the gunshot shadow shot by Li Qiang.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zheng Peng cursed, "Damn it, this thing is really sturdy!" He walked forward and swung his big axe, splitting the dead insect in half with one blow.

Mei Jingjing exclaimed while holding a small glass: "Wow, this transparent little cup is so cute."

Mei Jingjing blushed and said angrily: "I'm a girl, of course I'm afraid of bugs!"

During the period of meditation, Li Qiang does not need to eat. He only eats some fruits that are special products of Tian Ting Star. After the caravan arrived at Panshi Town, the staff were arranged to have a meal and rest. Ling Hongxuan invited Li Qiang and others to have a meal at the restaurant.

Uh... Three people were dumbfounded again.

A sound of "ding dong" came from a distance, and it was getting louder and louder.

Zhao Hao was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, immediately realizing that this girl's long whip, like Li Qiang's eagle crossbow, was a weapon of cultivators that he could not possibly withstand. He hastily shouted, "Master, be careful!".

That little girl was knocked out by Zheng Peng's anger: "Heizi! Zheng Peng! You confused person, what nonsense are you talking about? You, you, step aside and watch this young lady teach these two bad guys a lesson!"

Mei Jingjing grabbed Li Qiang's arm and said nervously, "Brother, something happened. Come over!"

The little girl pouted her mouth, her eyes turned red, and suddenly burst into tears: "Waaah, two big men bullying a little girl like me, waaah, what makes you so great? Mommy... where did you go? You didn't come to help me... I had nowhere else to go, so I had to become a robber. Waaah... waaah... waaah..."

His appearance made Li Qiang laugh, thinking: "There's plenty of alcohol, so why not give him a bottle."

Now, not only is Zhaohao unwilling, but Li Qiang is also unhappy.

Mei Jingjing immediately blushed, and said coquettishly, "Brother Li, can't you take care of your disciple? He's bullying me."

Cheng Zizhong and Ling Hongxuan glanced at each other and were dumbfounded.

Mei Jingjing blinked her big eyes, turned her eyeballs, and smiled, saying: "I may be young, but my seniority is high."

That person glanced at Zhao Hao, slightly startled, and suddenly exclaimed, "You, are you Mr. Zhao?" Everyone was quite surprised, could it be that they knew each other?

Zheng Peng is not stupid. He turned around and hid behind Li Qiang, laughing and saying, "Haha, I found a shield!"

This little girl's voice is both sweet and charming. Li Qiang's head was spinning, thinking to himself, "Oh my, I can't handle this. If this little girl starts acting coquettish, even the gods would probably have a headache."

Ling Hongxuan interjected: "Yes, this is a good wine, and it's a tribute."

Li Qiang smiled slightly and said, "Really? I've figured it out. Don't be unconvinced."

Li Qiang scattered the golden eagle in the sky and quietly asked Zheng Peng, "Hey, isn't she your leader of the Dazhai? Why cry when you lose?"

Li Qiang patted her hand and comforted her, saying, "Don't be afraid, Niuniu! Don't be afraid!"

Ling Hongxuan's solution: "Miss Mei, sit next to Lord Li. Young people like lively atmosphere, let's not stick to formalities."

Mei Jingjing smirked and said, "Really not giving it to me?"

A few people chased after him at lightning speed. Although he ran fast, he forgot to cover the mouth of the liquor bottle. The unique aroma of Wuliangye spread behind him, how could he hide from the people chasing him.

Li Qiang watched the two playfully, feeling warm in his heart, and said, "Niu Niu, here you go." He handed over two blue beads. These were dug out by Zhao Hao while they were playing.

Zhao Hao became unhappy and said, "Hey, miss, Zheng Peng is already on our side. It's not your turn to teach him a lesson. Besides, why would a young girl like you want to become a bandit?"

Zhao Hao forced a smile and said, "I'm afraid we've reached the terrifying slope!"

Mei Jingjing screamed, "Wow! So many bugs, it's disgusting!"

That person's nose was twitching and sniffing non-stop, their eyes fixed on the wine bottle in Zhao Hao's arms, their pupils darting around.

But the three shadow worms didn't die. They staggered and crawled over again. Mei Jingjing was so scared that she hid behind Li Qiang, saying, "Wow, they can't be killed."

The whip shadow immediately tightly entangled Li Qiang, that is a strange energy rope with nine strands. The little girl giggled and said, "Now you've tasted the power of this girl, if I don't want to release you, you'll never be able to move for the rest of your life."

Zheng Peng was happy, and shouted loudly, "Hey, little brother is still the best. He knows that I, Heizi, can't stand eating small dishes. Heizi loves to eat big chunks of meat. Waiter, hurry up, I want a whole piece of meat!"

In the evening, the caravan arrived smoothly at Panshi Town.

The little girl's name is Meijingjing, her nickname is Niuniu. She is from the country of Litang. This was obtained through continuous coaxing and deception by Li Qiang.

Rustling sounds came from all around.

Li Qiang raised his hand and three golden eagles flew out, circling and charging towards the shadow insect. With three loud explosions, the shadow insect was blasted away more than ten meters.

Although Zheng Peng did not know how powerful Jin Ying was, seeing her so frightened, he couldn't help but plead, "Hey, young man, forget it, give me some face, let her go."

Li Qiang became a bit interested, picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth. A sour, bitter, and spicy taste rushed to his head. He spat it out with a "puh" and exclaimed, "Is this wine? Quickly bring me water to rinse my mouth."

The little girl cried even harder: "Wuwu... Wuwu... Wu..." but her eyes glanced at Li Qiang.

Four people chased all night, and it was dawn. Zhao Hao stopped his footsteps, looked around, and had a thought in his mind: "Isn't this the Haunted Hill? We actually ran over two hundred miles in just one night."

Li Qiang shouted, "Niuniu, use the whip to tie it up. Heizi, protect Niuniu. Zhao Hao, be on guard behind us. Okay, move!"

Zheng Peng shouted, "That's right, my stomach is starving. Let's sit down and have a meal."

Mei Jingjing exclaimed, "Is there a haunted hill where monsters appear?" She looked very nervous, and the little girl was most afraid of those strange and bizarre wild beasts.

Zheng Peng felt a chill in his heart when he saw her malicious expression, and he wanted to confront her, but he also felt embarrassed.

If you don't give it to me, I'll tie you up! The little girl is quite unreasonable.

Several gentlemen, please take the upstairs private room. The shop assistant eagerly shouted, "Regular customers! Upstairs private room! Please!" After arriving at Tian Ting Xing, Li Qiang had never been to the restaurant, and he was full of curiosity.

Zheng Peng, a tall and big man, carried a long axe and glanced at Mei Jingjing. He chuckled and said, "Little sister, why are you becoming more and more timid? Look at my black axe!"

Ling Hongxuan arrived at the largest restaurant in the town with a group of people - the Baiwei Restaurant.

Li Qiang originally wanted to stop Zhao Hao, but after a second thought, he took the opportunity to get rid of Cheng Zi. As for what to do in the future, it will depend on the situation.
