Chapter 156: Recruiting Guards


    Its here! A few dayster, in a private room of Hibiscus Countys pub, a man wearing a ming ck robe was seriously sizing up something, and there was an over nine feet tall man beside him. With such an imposing appearance, everyone couldnt help looking at them a few more times.


    Okay! After this matter is over, Ill be free The tone of that over nine feet tall man was full of vigor and hope. He held an ordinary halberd, and he was obviously not satisfied with this standard item. But he was also helpless.


    After muttering, that over nine feet tall man left the room. It was unknown where he was going. Merely, many people gradually recognized the remaining ck-robed person, who was still drinking wine. He was none other than Two Dragons Viges Shake the Heaven


    The reputation of Shake the Heaven had already spread widely throughout the West Flower Region. In the past, only the yers knew him from the post of Heroic Overlord Under Heaven. But now, with the utmost publicity of Lord Perfect Zhang Han, who had even put up Shake the Heavens picture, most of the NPCs also knew Shake the Heaven.


    If you look for a child, who had just started studying, on these streets, then he might not know what Shake the Heaven meant, but he would definitely p seriously because their school teachers always said this: Behave like Shake the Heaven, work also like Shake the Heaven


    Therefore, the appearance of Shake the Heaven naturally attracted all the gazes on the streets.


    Not long after, the sounds of beating drums resounded on the street. It was quite loud and instantly took everyones gaze away from Shake the Heaven.


    Everyone, lets go quickly. If we arete, we might not get such a chance again! The people were like this. When aloof and noble people appear, all couldnt help looking over a few more times, hoping the other party would notice them and remember their faces. However, it was just an imaginary thing.


    In contrast, the immediate benefits might be more worthwhile to grasp.


    As a matter of fact, who on the streets didnt know the meaning of that beating drums sound?


    Everyone knew it. It meant that Li Yong was preparing to recruit guards. But who was this Li Yong? He actually made such a big movement.


    Speaking of Li Yong, he was not simple. Dont look at how he was not even a historical NPC, he definitely lived better than many historical NPCs. Li Yong was a rich man of this street, a very high-ranked big shot of Hibiscus County, and Hibiscus Countys administrative steward!


    Li Yong wasnt too old. He looked like a middle-aged man, but he had fat ears and a big belly. At a nce, people could certainly see that he was a very greasy person.


    Eh? Although Li Yong was also an administrative steward, there seemed to be a big gap between him and other administrative stewards like Wang Fu, Zhang Qin and others. Even Heavenly Dragon Viges Zhang Cong was also the same. They all looked like old men and they all had a calm and kind personality. Howe the administrative steward of Hibiscus County was different?


    In fact, it was not a change of appearance, but a change of people!


    No one remembered the name of the former administrative steward of Hibiscus County because people wouldnt remember a dead persons name. A short period of several months was enough to forget itpletely. One should know that that person was neither Shake the Heaven or Lu Bu, he was just an ordinary kind old man. There was no reason to remember him.


    Besides, that person had remained as the administrative steward for a very short time. After all, the day he took office was also the day he left office and died!


    As for how that person died, no one investigated it. Because everyone knew that there was someone behind Lord Li Yong, who had seeded that person.


    And that someone behind Yi Yong was Wei Wentong.


    Speaking about it, one of Li Yongs sisters was very familiar with the way of bewitching. She actually made Wei Wentong unable to part with her. He even married her and made her a house mistress.


    Like this, Li Yong became Wei Wentongs brother-inw, and Li Yong was very good at using all resources. Since he had Wei Wentong as his backer, there was no need for him to be a street hooligan. He thought that he was no longer a child, but he couldnt even lead a decent life before.


    However, after Li Yong turned over and became the administrative steward, he was very sessful. He extorted peoples blood, sweat and tears without restraint. The wails of the people were like a seething cauldron, but what of it? Most people didnt dare to resist. If one didnt resist, then one would still have leftover food to eat. If resisted, then it would be a dead end.


    Naturally, very few people had the courage to resist, and they believed that as long as Li Yong was killed, their life would be a bit better.


    Therefore, Li Yong was also a person who was always in danger. But Li Yong relied on Wei Wentongs power to put together a protection squad. Usually, he would act like a tyrant and even parade himself on the streets and alleys, but no one dared to make a move on him.


    Unfortunately, a few days ago, a madman came from who knows where. That madman followed Li Yong all the way to a remote alley, then attacked suddenly, actually killing the entire protection squad of Li Yong. If it were not for Li Yong running away wisely and the timely appearance of county troops, Li Yong would have already be a cold corpse.


    Now, Li Yong didnt dare to even walk out of his luxurious house. It had already been a few days. Fortunately, all the personnel in his house were trusted subordinates of Wei Wentong, which made him feel quite safe.


    However, people like Li Yong were like this. Once they had power and influence, they had to go out and show off. If brocade clothing were just worn at night, no one would see it, then what was the use of it?


    Therefore, Li Yong decided to offer a huge price to form a powerful protection squad for himself again. This time, he knew the terrifying strength of that madman, so he naturally took out his blood money. To put it bluntly, whoever was chosen to be a bodyguard, that persons monthly sry would be enough for an ordinary family of three to live stably for a hundred years.


    Most people couldnt resist this kind of temptation. Regardless of whether they had the skill to receive this money or not, all rushed over to give it a try.


    At this moment, if someone carefully looked around, then they would notice that among the applicants, half were NPCs and the other half were yers. There were even many people who usually called for overthrowing Li Yong here.


    Okay! Everyone, line up and sign up here A greasy middle-aged man said while grinning: Im Li Yong Everyone didnt listen to Li Yong. They just wanted his money. If it werent for the sry being too alluring, Li Yong would have be a target of public criticism now.


    Li Yong also noticed that everyone ignored him, but he also didnt care about it. Men die for wealth as birds for food. As long as he had enough money, what was there to be afraid of.


    Li Yong stillughed merrily, scanning the people present. Among them, most were regr NPC and solo yers, but their strength was not too different from the previous troops he recruited. <i>Could it be that such an alluring sry is not enough to recruit a great general?</i>


    Just when Li Yong was a bit disappointed, his eyes suddenly fixed on a person. That persons figure was too tall, and his eyes were filled with martial powers. Moreover, his physique was iparably brawny. It seemed that the ordinary halberd he held was enough to tear up a defense of thousands upon thousands of troops.


    Li Yong inwardly muttered to himself: He is the one!
