As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

69 The Shi Family Will Completely Break Off Relations With the Green Mountain Army Today

In Peace Town, Jiang Ming walked on the street, looking at the mess and the pedestrians running by from time to time, and sighed.

This was only the beginning of the real chaos!”

As Zhang Zhushi led his men to mercilessly plunder food and forcefully capture able-bodied men, Peace Town had become jittery these few days.

Although the news of the Green Mountain Army’s defeat had not yet reached them, the people who could live under the oppression of the old men for so long had some reservations.

!!

When they saw Zhang Zhushi and the others reveal their ugly faces, they knew that the situation of the Green Mountain Army was not good. Rumors about the Green Mountain Army began to spread.

Quite a few people, who were smart and thought they had some skills, picked up their bags and fled into the mountains.

This was the advantage of being adjacent to the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest. No matter how the war was fought outside, the soldiers would not rush into the mountain. As long as they hid well, they could avoid the chaos of war.

Of course, there were also poisonous insects and fierce beasts in the mountains. But it was still much better than waiting for the defeated army to cross the border.

There were also people who fled further north with their families, but no one knew where they could escape to.

“The commoners are panicking to survive, but these old men are so leisurely.”

Jiang Ming passed by a few newly built bars and tea houses, but he saw some men and women dressed in expensive clothes sitting in them, slowly drinking tea, laughing, singing, and dancing. It was as if the chaos outside the window had nothing to do with them.

Jiang Ming could recognize that they were all relatives of the old forces in the city. Perhaps these things were not a big deal for them.

No matter how stupid the defeated Green Mountain Army was, they would not dare provoke the “foundation” of the country of Yan, as that would only lead to a worse death.

Even if there were small groups of deserters who wanted to cause trouble, they would not be able to withstand a single blow in front of these forces with deep foundations.

As he walked, Jiang Ming disappeared into a corner.

The Shi family was in a mess. Many members of the Shi family were running to the main door.

An unremarkable figure peeked a few times at a remote wall, then quietly climbed over it.

Somewhere in a side room, a member of the Shi family was doing something interesting when he suddenly felt his vision turn black. After a while, a Shi family disciple came out of the house with a face full of anger. He stuffed a sharp blade into his pockets and walked to the gate angrily.

* * *

At the entrance of the Shi family’s house in Peace Town, a group of uniformed Shi family members was standing at the door in anger, staring at the Green Mountain Army soldiers blocking the door.

“You dare come to the Shi family and ask for money?”

“Do you really not know what kind of situation you’re in now?”

The Shi family members were so angry that their chests were heaving up and down. There were so many forces in this town, but the Green Mountain Army had to come to their family. This was humiliating!

Zhang Zhushi did not panic at all. He laughed strangely,

“Everyone, we are one family. If the Green Mountain Army is defeated, do you think the Shi family can still survive? The experts of the Shi family are all hiding in the city, so don’t force us to do this! We only need a thousand taels of silver. I’ll turn around and leave once I get it.”

The faces of the Shi family members turned ugly. They were so angry that the veins on their foreheads were bulging, but they could not do anything to Zhang Zhushi.

None of them present were martial artists.

This was also the embarrassing truth of the Shi family; they rose too quickly. Other than the fact that their high-end forces were fine, their foundation was very weak. Originally, only Shi Quannian and a few others were in charge of Peace Town. They had not sent any replacements over.

They had originally thought that no one in the small town would dare provoke the Shi family, and with the presence of the Green Mountain Army, there would be no problem. No one thought that the first to cause trouble would be the Green Mountain Army.

Just as the Shi family was feeling frustrated and helpless, a young man from the Shi family suddenly squeezed into the front of the crowd.

His face was full of grief and indignation as he shouted sternly, “Who do you think you are? You’re just a dog of the Green Mountain Army! How dare you extort my family. Even if I die here today, I won’t give you a single coin!”

“Well said.”

“That’s how it should be!”

The other Shi family members were already filled with anger, and when they heard this, they immediately cheered and became excited.

“I’d like to see if you have such. strong backbone.” Zhang Zhushi’s body tensed up, but he slowly pulled out his sword.

“Everyone, please consider this carefully!” He was full of murderous intent as he spoke slowly. His eyes were fixed on the few elders who looked like they were in charge.

However, Zhang Zhushi was cursing madly internally, “Where the hell did this hothead come from? I’m about to get the money, can’t you just obediently hand over the money? Is he really going to fight? I don’t want to risk my life; I just want money!”

If they really fought, even if they won, they would probably be injured. A few people might even die.

Zhang Zhushi cherished his life like gold. Now, he could only hope that the few people in charge would not be too impulsive. The speed at which he drew his blade was also getting slower and slower.

Finally, a man with gray hair sighed, “Rong, retreat.”

As he spoke, he went to pull the angry boy.

The other members of the Shi family sighed secretly, but they also heaved a sigh of relief. After all, their blood was boiling. They were still a little resistant to gamble with their lives. Usually, they only instructed the servants to kill people. They had never really fought.

Zhang Zhushi heaved a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face was about to bloom again.

As long as he got the money, he would throw away this job and run far away. Who could find him?

However, just as everyone thought that the conflict was about to end, the young man from the Shi family suddenly broke free and took a step forward!

His eyes were full of fire, and his voice was powerful and resonating.

“Heaven and earth can bear witness! Isn’t the Shi family doing a lot for the Green Mountain Army? Killing the mayor, opening the gates, pretending to be bandits, and slaughtering and robbing the people—those are all things we did for the Green Mountain Army! I am sick of this!” The more the young man spoke, the angrier he became. His eyes were red, and tears were flowing.

However, the more the Shi family people heard, the more they felt that something was wrong. They admitted to killing the mayor and opening the gates. However, they had never slaughtered and robbed civilians!

With the Shi family’s status, they would not do such a thing!

The man from the Shi family who was in charge of the business was in a panic and was about to cover his mouth.

However, the young man from the Shi family was still angry and shouted, “The Shi family will completely break off relations with the Green Mountain Army today!”

He pulled out a sharp blade from his arms and rushed toward Zhang Zhushi while screaming madly.

The Shi family was in a panic!

...

Zhang Zhushi was also numb!
