Chapter 208 Makes sense
Chisongzi's words made sense, and Zhang Liang also realized that after he had a new understanding of the Poshan Style, he really needed to practice in seclusion to consolidate his realm. However, avoiding potential assassinations was not Zhang Liang's inner wish.
"The sword must be sharp!"
"A sword would rather break than bend!"
"A sword must be sharpened with blood!"
"A sword should be sharpened by the will of a strong man!"
After understanding the essence of the Broken Mountain Style, Zhang Liang realized that it was more appropriate to practice quietly than to participate in the Global Sword Competition. Of course, he would not ignore his own safety or give up the opportunity to consolidate his cultivation just for the sake of participating in the competition. He had just broken through the bottleneck, and he really needed time to settle and integrate what he had learned.
"We'll talk about my business later. Master, tell me how to deal with the politicians and martial arts masters from various countries who came to provoke us this time." Zhang Liang asked directly.
In this world, not only do politicians hold great power, but there are also various small sects, known as Jianghu forces. For example, in Xinzheng City, there were several hidden small sects.
These sects usually do not have grandmasters in charge, and their strength may not be very strong, but there are many of them. Most cities have such small forces. Their strength varies, but none of them are easy to deal with, especially in their territories. As local tyrants, they are not so easy to deal with.
Most of those who tried to fish in troubled waters in his mountain gate and were unwilling to retreat in the end were from these small forces. Of course, it cannot be denied that these small forces are more or less related to certain politicians, and may have received support or hints from the politicians behind the scenes.
It's just that these connections are difficult to find out, especially this time, most of their cooperation is temporary, and most of them have been eliminated by Zhang Liang, so it is even more difficult to investigate their connections with politicians. However, these small forces still exist, and if they are not fought back, people may mistakenly think that offending Zhang Liang will not have any consequences.
As the leader of Tianzong, Chisongzi knew these small forces much better than Zhang Liang. He pondered for a moment and said, "No matter from which angle, we must take action. How about Tianzong and Qiyilou each send some people to clean them up?"
"Can it be completely eliminated?" Zhang Liang asked with a frown.
"It's difficult. Most of those who stay on the mountain are leaders of various small forces. Even if they are not leaders, they are important figures. After this time, they will be more vigilant. Once we make any movement, they will probably run away immediately!" Chisongzi sighed.
This is where small forces are difficult to deal with. Although they are not strong, they are good at saving their lives. Once they provoke someone they cannot afford to offend, they will immediately disappear without a trace, making it difficult to track them down.
Today, with seven kingdoms coexisting, no intelligence network of any power can cover the entire territory, and at most can only set up branches in various countries. The future net can be spread all over the world, known as "the net of heaven and earth, omnipresent", because the Qin Dynasty has unified the country, so it can unscrupulously set up spies everywhere.
Now, Luowang can only set up branches in various countries, and they need to hide carefully. Once exposed, they are likely to be wiped out. Zhang Liang does not have such a powerful intelligence network.
Moreover, there are many people Zhang Liang wants to get rid of this time. Even with an intelligence network, it will be difficult to solve them one by one in a short period of time.
"Offer a bounty!" Zhang Liang thought for a moment and then said, "Yan Lingji, Straw Cloth Man, you guys will make a list of the people who need to be eliminated. You can use elixirs and magic weapons as a reward. Then, directly post a notice in Qiyilou and ask for heads to be exchanged for bounties!"
"By the way, we have also offered a bounty for Han Fei. We will no longer take action against him. I want to make him feel uneasy every day in the future. Announce it to anyone who brings Han Fei's head, I will personally refine a magic weapon for him that can be ranked in the top ten of the sword list, and allow him to choose one hundred pills from the Qiyi Tower!" Zhang Liang said calmly.
"Young master, the price is too high. Such a bounty is enough to reward the king of a country!" Yan Lingji couldn't help but say.
“How can people be tempted if it’s not expensive? This is not only a reward for Han Fei, but also a deterrent to everyone in the world. After the reward is issued, as long as I am alive, no one will dare to deal with Qiyilou easily!” Zhang Liang replied with a chuckle.
"But in this way, aren't you worried about becoming the target of public criticism? If you can target Han Fei, you can target others. I'm afraid that many people will want to kill you out of fear!" Chisongzi frowned.
"Don't be afraid. The reason is still the same. As long as I'm alive, who dares to target me? No one dares to kill me unless they are absolutely sure of doing so!" Zhang Liang smiled coldly.
"This will only make it more dangerous!" said Chisongzi.
"Soon, I will no longer be afraid of danger. Old Taoist, the next time I travel around the world, I will definitely have a trump card that can save my life from the masters of the land fairyland. At that time, even if I am assassinated by the masters of the land fairyland, I will fight back at all costs. If one bounty cannot kill me, I will offer bounties again and again. One day, no one will dare to provoke me easily!" Zhang Liang said with a smile.
