"Alas, when the gods fight, mortals suffer."

Mr. Hu looked bitter, lamenting his bad luck.

It was a troubled time.

First there was the demonic disaster, then the human disaster.

If he failed to deal with the county warriors outside, he might be in danger of being beheaded.

He didn't dare to say "get in" like Chu Liang, even if he had ten more courage.

"Where is Mr. Hu?"

Another loud shout came from outside.

Mr. Hu was shocked and hurriedly replied, "Here he comes!"

He didn't dare to delay and hurriedly ran out of the Hu family mansion.

The voices of the two echoed over the village.

The villagers all looked a little strange. In the past, Mr. Hu, who was high and mighty in their hearts, was like a servant these two days, being ordered around by the county warriors.

The gap was really too big.

Mr. Hu hurried to the entrance of the village, smiling apologetically, and asked with a bowed body: "Master Wu, do you have any instructions? Just say a word and I will do it immediately!"

"Well, listen carefully..."

"You say."

"Go to Chu Liang's house and tell him that the reason we were angry before was because we suspected that he killed my brother Wu Qian, not because of what happened yesterday. Do you understand?"

"I understand. I will tell Chu Liang immediately."

Mr. Hu nodded immediately, not daring to have any objections, and ran back to the village with a bowed body.

After a while, he ran to the gate of Chu Liang's courtyard and knocked on the gate anxiously.

Dongdongdong!

"Chu Liang, can I come in?" he asked.

"Come in."

"Okay."

Mr. Hu jumped up, climbed over the gate, and jumped into the yard.

He looked helpless, and first apologized to Chu Liang, saying that he dared not not pass on the message for Wu Neng and others.

Then, he repeated Wu Neng's original words and added: "Chu Liang, they came for the man named 'Wu Qian'. It has nothing to do with you. Just explain it clearly."

"Didn't I explain it?" Chu Liang asked.

"Alas, your explanation..."

Mr. Hu was anxious for a moment. How could Chu Liang's previous words be called an explanation?

It was clearly tit-for-tat!

Who knows how much truth is said in that context?

"Okay, go tell them that I haven't seen the man named Wu Qian." Chu Liang waved his hand, his tone casual.

"Okay."

Mr. Hu jumped out again, hurriedly, and ran to the entrance of the village.

He ran outside the village and repeated Chu Liang's original words to Wu Neng and others.

After listening, Wu Neng nodded slightly and said to Mr. Hu: "In this case, this matter is a misunderstanding. You go and tell him. We are willing to resolve the misunderstanding."

"Okay!"

Mr. Hu ran back and told Chu Liang this.

Chu Liang said after hearing this: "Okay, I am also willing to resolve the misunderstanding, you go and tell them."

"I'll go now!"

Mr. Hu didn't dare to stop, and hurriedly ran back to Wu Neng and others to repeat Chu Liang's words.

Afterwards, the rest of Wu Neng's team expressed their willingness to resolve the misunderstanding.

Wu Neng said: "We are all warriors from Anping County, living under the same roof, and we will see each other every day. Chu Liang should also know that there is unrest in the deep mountains recently. I am afraid that the monsters in the deep mountains will cause a big incident... If something happens, he and I may fight side by side, so let's let today's incident pass."

"Okay, I'll go and tell them now."

Mr. Hu ran back again without taking a break.

In this way, he ran back and forth more than ten times.

Running and running...

He couldn't help feeling sad.

Before, when Wu Neng and others confronted Chu Liang, they shouted "get out" and "get in".

Because of this, neither side took action, but he suffered!

"Alas..."

Mr. Hu rolled in and out.

As a warrior, his physical fitness far exceeded that of ordinary people, and he would not feel tired after running such a short distance.

But for some reason, he was really tired now, and just wanted to find a place where no one was to rest for a while.

After more than ten rounds, the tone of both sides was calm, and it seemed that they had forgotten the previous misunderstanding.

At this time, Wu Neng said: "Tell Chu Liang that the market price of his tiger monster should be around 1,500 taels. I can offer 1,600 taels. As long as he is willing to trade, here is a deposit of 100 taels."

As he said, he took out a silver note of 100 taels from his arms.

"Take it."

"Okay."

Mr. Hu hurried forward and took the wrinkled silver note.

One hundred taels of silver, give it as you say.

This spirit is really extraordinary.

He turned around, ran into the village in a hurry, jumped over the wall of Chu Liang's courtyard, and placed the silver note in front of Chu Liang.

"Chu Liang, this is a deposit of 100 taels, what do you think?" Mr. Hu repeated Wu Neng's words and then asked Chu Liang for his opinion.

"It can be traded."

Chu Liang nodded slightly and said, "Just be a middleman. After the deal is done, the deposit of 100 taels will be yours."

"Okay!"

Mr. Hu ran away immediately.

As long as he facilitated the deal, he could get 100 taels of silver, which was much more efficient than squeezing the villagers.

It sounded easy, but Mr. Hu didn't feel any joy in his heart.

He was a smart man, so he could naturally hear that the two parties were still testing each other.

Whether it was the so-called resolution of misunderstandings or the current deal, it was just part of the test.

Mr. Hu ran to Wu Neng and others, repeated Chu Liang's words, and said: "Mr. Wu, I can bring out the body of the tiger monster for you."

"No hurry!"

Wu Neng waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Tell Chu Liang that I have another request. As long as he can do it, I am willing to add another 1,000 taels of silver!"

"May I ask what the request is?" Mr. Hu was really surprised.

A full 1,000 taels of silver, just for a request?

What request is so expensive?

Wu Neng said: "Tell him that my relationship with Song Zhong is very bad. He must promise not to join Song Zhong's monster-catching team in the future. As long as he can promise, we can swear to get along with him equally in the future, and even let him become one of my monster-catching team."

"Okay, I'll go now!"

Mr. Hu hurriedly ran back to Chu Liang's yard and brought the original words.

He said to Chu Liang: "Chu Liang, they sound very sincere, as long as you keep your distance from Song Zhong."

"Sincerity?"

Chu Liang smiled and glanced at Mr. Hu.

If other villagers had listened to the words of both sides, they would have foolishly thought that the two sides really wanted to reconcile and make a deal, after all, the sincerity was there.

But Chu Liang knew that Mr. Hu was a smart man, and he would not fail to see the problem.

The more sincerity Song Zhong and others showed, the bigger the problem!

"Go ask him how to make a deal."

"No problem!"

Mr. Hu ran away again to convey Chu Liang's words to Wu Neng and others.

After listening, Wu Neng gave a reply: "This is simple. I will go back to the county town right now. You ask Chu Liang to bring the tiger demon's body to the black market in the county town and ask the black market manager to be a witness. How about it?"

"I will go and tell him now."

Mr. Hu ran back to the yard and repeated the original words.

After listening, Chu Liang smiled and said: "Guess, on the way to the county town, will I be intercepted and killed by unidentified "bandits"?"

Mr. Hu immediately looked embarrassed, and he naturally understood what Chu Liang meant.

Outside, Wu Neng and others were so sincere, with a deposit and a pledge. It seemed that they had given up their anger towards Chu Liang and really just wanted to trade.

But was it really so?

"Chu Liang, what should I say?" asked Mr. Hu.

"Just tell them that if they want to trade, they can draw up a contract here."

"Okay."

Mr. Hu ran back again and told Wu Neng and others.

Wu Neng's face sank, and he asked, "Does Chu Liang not believe me? Is he worried that I will do something to him?"

Mr. Hu waved his hand hurriedly, "No..."

"Humph!"

Wu Neng snorted coldly and said, "If I want to kill him, I can kill him right now, right here, and easily! Killing him is a country boy, I can just find an excuse to report it to the Wumeng, why would I have to go through so much trouble?"

"Yes, I know how powerful Mr. Wu is, but Chu Liang just doesn't believe it."

Mr. Hu looked bitter, and his face was full of helplessness.

In terms of acting skills, he is no worse than Wu Neng.

Wu Neng glanced at him coldly, and then said: "You go and ask Chu Liang to think about it carefully. I will wait for him at the entrance of the village. Tell him that I am very patient and I can wait for him as long as he wants!"

"Yes, yes."

Mr. Hu nodded repeatedly and turned to run away.

He ran to Chu Liang's yard with a hint of anxiety in his heart.

From what Wu Neng said...

Are they going to block the entrance of Qingshi Village?
