Chapter 307 Being remembered

Chapter 307 Being remembered
The news that Leng Yiyao was a demon soon reached the ears of the top leaders of Da Xia. What's more, Leng Yiyao was actually a demon-suppressing guard of the Demon-Suppression Division. The top leaders were even more furious about this. Zhen Nantian, the highest leader of the Demon-Suppression Division of Wu'an County, was directly scolded.

Not only that, but he was also temporarily stripped of his position as commander-in-chief. Qinglong would temporarily take over the position until the new commander arrived, while he was transferred back to the Shenlong Domain to be investigated.

As for the resources allocated to the Demon Suppression Bureau of Wu'an County every year, they were directly reduced to one tenth. Qinglong did not dare to complain about this and could only accept this fact silently. Due to the appearance of a demon spy in their Demon Suppression Bureau, no new commander had been sent down. Fortunately, Qinglong's strength had now reached the level of half a step to the third rank, and he could barely keep up appearances.

As for Zhou Chen and the other two, Daxia issued a mainland wanted order, which soon spread rapidly from Daxia to other surrounding countries.

The continent is vast and boundless, so Daxia's influence is naturally impossible to spread across the entire continent, but at least it can affect the entire Zhongzhou.

The Yunmeng Kingdom, located to the north of Daxia, has always been on good terms with Daxia and was the first to receive the wanted order. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with them, but the reward offered by Daxia was so tempting that the ruler of the Yunmeng Kingdom could not help but be tempted and immediately ordered a new wanted order to be drafted and distributed throughout the country.

There are two kinds of wanted warrants issued by Daxia. One is a reward of one million taels of gold for the capture of Zhou Chen and Leng Yiyao, regardless of life or death. This wanted warrant is only distributed within Daxia. The other is sent directly to neighboring countries. The content is not a simple reward of silver. As a country, it certainly does not lack this money. If you want them to work for you, you naturally have to offer something that can make the other party interested.

At this time, Zhou Chen and Leng Yiyao were in Yuxi City, a town in Yunmeng Country. It was considered a big city. The two were planning to settle down again, so they bought a small courtyard in the city.

When they have nothing to do, they just drink tea and take a walk. As for making money to support the family, there is no need for that. The total amount of silver in Zhou Chen and the other person's hands has exceeded three million taels, which is already a considerable fortune. You have to know that the price of rice is only ten cents per catty now.

Besides, it is very easy for a warrior to make money. If things are really bad, he can just catch a few monsters and sell them in the city, which can also make a lot of money.

That afternoon, Leng Yiyao stayed at home to cook, while Zhou Chen went out for a walk as usual. Suddenly, he realized that someone was following him. Zhou Chen did not use his magical powers to check who was behind him. He just smiled and shook his head and continued to stroll around without caring.

This was not the first time, as someone noticed them shortly after they moved in.

These people were not big shots, they were just a few small hooligans in Yuxi City. It might be because Zhou Chen and the other two were outsiders and suddenly bought a yard. Not only did they have meat to eat every day, but they didn't have to go out to work. The hooligans thought they were a fat sheep and had been observing them quietly for some time, just to find a suitable opportunity to take action.

The reason why they have not taken action is very simple, because they are afraid that Zhou Chen and the other two are not ordinary people. Although there are only two of them, they may be ordinary people hiding in the city. So they want to try and see if these two have martial arts. Once they confirm that they do not have martial arts, they will kill them and seize the treasures without hesitation.

After a few days of observation, they decided to test Zhou Chen first. At this time, Zhou Chen pretended nothing had happened and continued walking along his usual walking route. Soon he came to a sparsely populated alley.

At this time, a gangster who had been lying in ambush in advance had appeared on the second floor of the inn next door. Seeing Zhou Chen coming, he directly smashed the flower pot he had prepared in advance on Zhou Chen's head.

He did not dare to look down. He closed the window the moment he threw the flowerpot. This time he threw it very accurately. In their eyes, if Zhou Chen had martial arts skills, it would not be a problem. But if he was just an ordinary person, he would surely die if he was hit by such a big vase.

At that time, they would kill people and steal treasures without any scruples. As for whether Zhou Chen's death would attract the investigation of the government, they were not afraid. Nowadays, the government was extremely corrupt, and they had always colluded with the government. The county constables were also secretly involved in this matter. However, in the expectant eyes of several people, Zhou Chen's footsteps suddenly quickened a bit, just avoiding the heavy blow of the vase. "Oh, I'm so lucky, I picked up silver when I went out." As the voice fell, the flower pot also fell to the ground, "with a bang, Zhou Chen was startled."

At the same time, the silver in Zhou Chen's hand fell to the ground. He turned around and looked at the broken vase behind him. Then he stood up and cursed at the people around him, "That blind guy threw the vase and almost killed someone. Do you know that? Get out here now."

However, no one paid any attention to him after he had been cursing for a long time. The few thugs who had been following him quickly hid themselves. Some of them were a little slow in hiding and were seen by Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen pretended not to see anything and walked away cursing.

"Damn, this guy is really lucky, he actually picked up silver." He also saw it the moment Zhou Chen stood up just now. What Zhou Chen picked up was actually silver, and it looked like there was at least three taels of silver.

"Three brothers, what should we do now?"
The man called Third Brother thought for a moment, then whispered something in the ear of a gangster.

"Ah, that won't do. What if that guy has martial arts skills, then he will beat me to death?"
"Don't panic, he was just lucky just now. I can see that this kid doesn't have any martial arts skills. I let you try just as a last resort. Don't worry, I'll give you an extra ounce of silver after you succeed."

"Third brother, you said it," a smile appeared on the gangster's face.

"Everyone can testify to what I said."

Soon, that guy excitedly left the team, and Zhou Chen soon passed through the empty alley and came to another street, which was also one of the main streets in Yuxi City and was very lively.

The hawking sounds from the street could be heard from a long distance away. As soon as Zhou Chen walked in, he spent four cents to buy two strings of candied haws, and started eating one.

During this time, Zhou Chen did not buy anything else. The candied haws tasted good and were something Zhou Chen must buy every time he went out. Soon Zhou Chen reached the end of the street, where there was a stall selling roasted sweet potatoes.

What was different from other stalls was that the owner of this stall did not shout out his wares, as if he did not care whether the business was good or bad. Instead, he looked around as if he was looking for something.

After an anxious wait, I finally saw Zhou Chen. His stall was very simple, with just a few iron wires placed on a stove, and sweet potatoes were roasted on the wires.

After noticing Zhou Chen, the stall owner's eyes never left him until Zhou Chen walked in. Then the stall owner kicked over the stove, and the stove fell to the ground. The hot sweet potatoes and the charcoal in the stove rolled to Zhou Chen's feet, and several red-hot charcoal flew to his trouser legs.
