The waste prince is so fierce

When the middle-aged man learned that Li Quan was willing to buy the meteorite, he was quite surprised and opened his eyes.

"Five hundred taels is five hundred taels. I'll buy it."

Li Quan agreed without hesitation.

Although five hundred taels is not a cheap price, it will be a huge gain for Li Quan if he can use this meteorite to refine a magical weapon.

However, with Dakang's current smelting technology, it is still impossible to completely remove the impurities in the meteorite, so Li Quan's purchase of the stone was just a spur of the moment.

"Are you serious?"

The middle-aged man was surprised that Li Quan agreed immediately and took out the silver note quickly. After all, Li Quan's previous tentative behavior had left him with a bad impression of Li Quan, and he had quoted the price of five hundred taels casually. He did not expect that Li Quan would agree immediately and pay quickly.

The middle-aged man looked at Li Quan and saw that he looked like a scholar. He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "This thing is useless to you. If you buy it, it will only be a piece of waste stone."

Although Li Quan had prepared the silver note, the man had no intention of selling the meteorite to him.

Seeing the man trying to put the meteorite away, Li Quan hurriedly stopped him: "How can you refuse to sell it when a customer wants to buy it? I have my own use for it, so you don't need to worry about it."

Upon hearing this, the man stopped moving.

After a moment's silence, the man slowly said, "Since you insist on buying it, let's make it fifty taels."

"Not five hundred taels?"

Li Quan suspected that he had heard it wrong and asked for confirmation.

"Fifty taels."

The man emphasized it again, but Li Quan still took out a silver note worth one hundred taels and placed it on the stall.

Just as Li Quan was about to leave, the man suddenly mentioned: "If you want to forge weapons with meteorite iron, you can go to the camp north of Wuwei County to find a Ye Leng.

He has a strange personality. If he refuses to help, tell him that an old friend from the Huang tribe introduced you there."

Upon hearing this, Li Quan turned around abruptly and stared at the man who was packing up his stall.

"Do you know Mr. Ye?"

Upon learning that the man not only knew Ye Leng but was also a member of the Huang tribe, a bold guess flashed through Li Quan's mind.

"Could it be...you are Nangong Yi?"

He got to know Ye Leng, who was also a member of the Huang clan. The person in front of him was most likely Nangong Yi, whom he had been looking for for a long time.

Ever since he learned about Nangong Yi's name from Ye Leng last time, Li Quan ordered Xiao Changsheng to investigate in many ways, but to no avail.

Now that Nangong Yi seems to be so close, how can Li Quan not be excited?

Hearing Li Quan mention "Nangong Yi"

The man's expression changed slightly, and although he quickly regained his composure, he could not escape Li Quan's observation.

"I'm not Nangong Yi, you got the wrong person."

After denying his identity, the man left in a hurry without even taking the banknotes left by Li Quan.

Seeing the middle-aged man's unusual behavior, Li Quan became more and more convinced of his speculation: this man was the armor-making master Nangong Yi that he had been searching for! "Pohuang, you stay here to protect the lady. I will return immediately if I have something to do."

Seeing that Nangong Yi was about to disappear from his sight, Li Quan gave Li Pohuang some instructions and quickly chased after him.

"master……"

Li Pohuang was hesitant, and Mingyue urged him, "Go and protect the master quickly, we have Lord Xiao to protect us here, so it's okay.

Go quickly!"

Li Pohuang took the order and ran away quickly.

Li Quan followed Nangong Yi closely and tracked him all the way to the direction of the Huang Clan.

About a quarter of an hour later, he stopped in front of a dilapidated village.

Although his physical strength had improved by practicing the physical strengthening techniques left by Chen Ye, he was still out of breath after running fast.

After asking the villagers, Li Quan successfully found Nangong Yi's residence, but discovered that Nangong Yi had been surrounded by five or six thugs.

"Nangong Yi, you said you could pay off the taxes today, so we're here to collect the debt."

The scar-faced leader said coldly.

Nangong Yi's face turned pale and he retorted: "Nonsense! My family has no cattle or sheep to graze, so how can there be a grazing tax? What right do you have to collect taxes from me?"

Scarface said disdainfully: "Every household here pays taxes, yours is an exception? It's your business if you can't afford cattle and sheep, what does it have to do with us?"

He seemed to be certain that Nangong Yi could not repay the debt, and jokingly said: "Today is the deadline. If you don't pay the tax, you will bear the consequences!"

Nangong Yi's eyes were cold: "What do you want?"

Scarface smiled grimly: "I heard you have a beautiful wife and beloved daughter. If you can't pay the taxes, use them to pay off your debts."

As soon as these words were spoken, the villains began to laugh. Nangong Yi was so furious that his veins bulged and he seemed to be about to have a fit.

Just as the gang of thugs were about to attack, Li Quan and Li Pohuang quietly arrived and shouted, "Stop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Quan appeared in front of Nangong Yi.

The scarred-faced leader looked at Li Quan and felt wary of him because of his extraordinary bearing and elegant clothes.

"Who are you? We are busy with important matters, please do not disturb us."

Scarface signaled his men to drive Li Quan away.

Nangong Yi was also surprised by Li Quan's sudden appearance and said worriedly, "This matter has nothing to do with you, leave quickly."

Li Quan smiled indifferently. He had been looking for an armor maker recently but to no avail. Now that he had met Nangong Yi, how could he let go easily?

"I love to meddle in other people's business the most in my life. Now that I have come across this, how can I just sit there and do nothing?"

He folded his hands across his chest, looking like he was watching a show.

Scarface was furious: "You're looking for death! Do you know that we are under the command of the Smiling Tiger of Black Wind Village?"

When Li Quan heard the name "Smiling Tiger of Black Wind Village", his smile faded.

There are three major horse bandit forces in Wuwei County. Although Smiling Tiger is the weakest, he has eight Vajras and more than 300 people.

Deputy County Lieutenant Wang Li once said that he led an army to fight against the Smiling Tiger, but it is unknown whether this was true or not.

The village where Nangong Yi lives is located in a no-man's land and is often harassed by three major bandit gangs.

Scarface's "grazing tax"

It was actually a cover to blackmail the villagers.

The villagers had no choice but to surrender under the tyranny of the bandits.

Seeing Li Quan's fear turn pale at the name of Smiling Tiger, Scarface said smugly: "Now you know whether you can provoke me or not, right? Hand over your valuables as an apology for offending Black Wind Village."

Scarface signaled his men to surround Li Quan, obviously thinking that Li Quan had more money to gain.

Facing the heavy siege, Li Quan remained calm and turned to Nangong Yi: "Senior, how do you think we should deal with these people?"

"what for?"

Nangong Yi was puzzled.

"I ask you whether you are willing to continue to be bullied by them, or to leave with me and let them pay the price."

Li Quan's tone became increasingly cold.

Li Quan's question made Nangong Yi stunned for a moment, and then he responded in a loud voice: "Kill them, don't spare any of these villains!"

Nangong Yi's anger burned fiercely in his heart. Thinking of how Scarface had threatened him with the safety of his wife and daughter, he could hardly suppress his anger.

Hearing Nangong Yi's response, Li Quan cast a look at Li Pohuang behind him.

Li Pohuang immediately ordered: "Eliminate them all."

"Here!"

He answered in response.

One of the hooligans was about to mock Li Pohuang, the seemingly immature young man, but before he could finish his words, Li Pohuang struck out with lightning speed, slashed with his dagger, and cut the other's throat.

"what!"

Screams sounded.

Seeing his subordinate falling to the ground with his hands on his neck in pain, Scarface was extremely angry. He shouted angrily: "Boy, I want your life!"

After saying that, he swung his machete towards Li Pohuang.

Facing the scarred man rushing towards him, Li Pohuang remained calm and easily dodged the attack by turning sideways.

The knife missed and Scarface wanted to pull back the knife, but found that the knife was firmly held by Li Pohuang.
