The Book of Heaven

Chapter 179 Chips
Luo Qi is a native of Jiading, just like the red-eyed people who were tamed by Ma Zheng, he was born in Jiading City, and then grew up in Jiading City.

The Luo family is just a small merchant in Jiading City, Luo Qi is not the eldest son of the family, his living conditions were not very good when he was a child, at most he could fill his belly, and every year during the Chinese New Year, the elders in the family could prepare a meal for him. Set of new clothes.

Although these conditions are already a luxury for most children living outside the city, Luo Qi does not feel that he is living a happy life until one day, the Luo family sells all the houses in Jiading City due to business difficulties. It was only when Luo Qi became an ordinary tenant farmer that he truly felt what it meant to be a catastrophe.

Fortunately, he was lucky. After less than a year of that miserable life, he was valued by an old general in Jiading City who retired and returned home.

Said to be a general, but in the end, he was only a sentinel captain, equal to Ma Zheng, but he had actually fought in the frontier army, and was valued by his superiors. He was taught a simple method of internal strength and breath adjustment and a knife all the way. Law.

It's just that the sentry captain was already quite old when he learned internal skills and sword skills, and he couldn't practice quietly in the military camp, and he was left with internal and external injuries when he was young, so he couldn't reach the ultimate level.

Returning to Jiading City to live in retirement, the veteran found Luo Qi as a seedling, and finally decided to pass on all his martial arts to Luo Qi, who was just eight years old at that time.

Speaking of it, Luo Qi's life is hard. If the Luo family has not failed, and with the careful teaching of veterans, Luo Qi's achievements should be better, so that he is not still a third-rate interrupt. Unfortunately, there is no if in this world. Because both the Luo family and the old general belonged to the poor, so they couldn't keep up when they needed nutrition and medical assistance, which could be said to be a bad move.

Of course, in Jiading City, the third-rate interrupted martial arts are already quite popular. At least after winning over Luo Qi, he did not treat him badly. The price of ten taels of gold a year also includes food and lodging, even if he is guarding this wilderness. In the mining area, Luo Qi didn't have too many complaints in his heart.

At least he can eat and drink well every year, and there are two little girls around him at any time. Occasionally, when the slave traders trade with the Zeng family, they will send him one or two women of different races.

Of course, women of different races are difficult to raise. The Zeng family and Luo Qi often just try something new and get tired of playing for a while.

After all, Luo Qi is still a Han, and he still likes girls from the Han family.

It's just that this kind of ordinary life is actually a kind of slow suicide for martial artists. Although the effect will not be manifested so quickly, in fact, Luo Qi himself has discovered that not only has his martial arts not improved in the past half a year, but he has actually regressed. .

The ancients said, "Don't practice hands-on skills for three days." Luo Qi is in the mining area. Although there will be no problem with safety, how can he have a clean place for him to practice?The Zeng family asked him not to leave the mining area, as long as he was in the mining area, it didn't matter what he did.

In addition, there are two cute little girls around at any time, and sometimes Luo Qi will indulge himself. Anyway, he will never have the opportunity to climb a higher martial arts mountain in this life. It is better to enjoy it like this. At least in Jiading City, Luo Qi I think the third-rate mid-range is enough.

It wasn't until Ma Zheng appeared in front of him that he realized that this idea was wrong.

As a martial artist, one should have the mentality of constantly moving forward, otherwise one day, sooner or later, one will lose one's life due to slack.

Warriors may be merciful to ordinary people, but the only ones that will not be let go are warriors who have fought before—after all, no one can guarantee that they will always be at their peak, and if they show mercy now, they may die for the future leader. And planted a foreshadowing.

There is a considerable distance between the black-lit bamboo building and the surrounding shacks. Even if there are some noises, people who hear them will only think that it is a toss between Luo Qi and the two little girls, and Ma Zheng shot the two little girls together. The girl was so knocked out that she pinched Luo Qi's neck with her hand, and during the whole process, Luo Qi didn't get a chance to call out for help.

"You should be a first-class expert, but you still sneak attack me."

When Ma Zheng's five fingers were slightly relaxed, Luo Qi could speak, but he also knew that Ma Zheng would not give him a chance to call for help, and even if he did, he would definitely die in Ma Zheng's hands, because no one else could compare He is more aware of the defense level of the mining area, even he has only gone two rounds in Ma Zheng's hands, how could other people be Ma Zheng's opponents.

This young man is scary.

Then with the dim light of the surrounding lanterns, Luo Qi could basically see Ma Zheng's appearance clearly. Of course, he also knew that Ma Zheng's unabashed exposure of his face meant that he had already decided to kill people to silence him.

What really made Luo Qi feel sad was Ma Zheng's age.

How can someone who is not yet 20 years old practice such a powerful martial art? Could it be that this person has been practicing martial arts since his mother's womb?
Luo Qi's mind was very confused, especially when he felt that he was about to stop breathing, so in fact, the time he was grabbed by Ma Zheng's neck was not long, but in his own feeling, it seemed that three or five years had passed Like an hour.

"What do you want to ask, just ask."

"Actually, I'm just here to get the keys."

Ma Zheng lowered his voice and even showed a smile on his face.

Devil's smile!Luo Qi really wanted to say, if you just want those slaves, open your mouth, I will definitely give it to you if you open your mouth, why do you need to beat yourself to death, now you show your face to me, you are forcing me You kill me yourself, is killing fun?
Perhaps because of Ma Zheng's youthful-looking face, Luo Qi felt that he still had some hope. After all, normal people would not regard killing as a pleasure.

However, he didn't know that Ma Zheng was someone who had been in the frontier army. Not only had he been in the frontier army, but he had also been in a dead place like Zhuangziying. did it?

"You don't torture others less, don't you, remember to vote for a good family in your next life!"

"you"

Looking at the green light that suddenly flashed in Ma Zheng's eyes, Luo Qi felt something was wrong. He wanted to beg for mercy, but it was too late. Ma Zheng pressed his fingers hard, and Luo Qi's neck suddenly made a series of crisp sounds. It turned into powder among Ma Zheng's five fingers.

"Chuckles."

Although Luo Qi hadn't died yet, he had completely lost his ability to move, and the rest was just waiting to die.

Ma Zheng picked up the key ring beside the bed, and then took off the key on it.

Keys and locks in this era do not have a one-to-one correspondence, just like the copper key shaped like a long hook in Ma Zheng's hand at this time can actually open the shackles on the feet of all slaves in the mining area.

Having such a key is enough, Ma Zheng didn't even intend to continue to deal with those thugs, after he came out of the wooden house, he shook his figure and rushed towards the slaves who were sleeping together.

He didn't think about saving anyone, even these poor slaves, in fact, in Ma Zheng's heart, they were just a pile of chips.
