Chapter 67: First Etiquette Then Force (Part 1)

In Zhihai Stockade, which covers tens of thousands of mu, even if dozens or hundreds of people stood outside the barracks, it would still look empty.

The coastline ruled by the "Ape Wind" was also chilling.

Behind Guan Xihui was a handsome young man with an extraordinary air, dressed in short clothes.

Hearing Old Guan muttering to himself, saying this was wrong and that was wrong,

He was really irritable and uncomfortable from the cold.

So he secretly winked at the fat companion behind him who was also chapped by the cold wind.

Playing a game of "Guess the Shell" behind his back.

After deciding the winner, he helplessly sniffed and put forward his own idea:

"Deputy Chief Guan, maybe he used the Vertical and Horizontal Sword Art to break the door.

Faking it as a means of manifesting holiness with force."

"The Vertical and Horizontal Sword Art emphasizes accumulating momentum; once one reaches the Seventh-Rank Bing Shao, one can 'flow with light and color, and not scatter when falling from the sky.'

So it is true that one can cut iron and break steel upon entering the Way.

But look at this wooden gate; the gate face of more than three zhang is bent.

You must know that this gate is made of hard ironwood; if it hadn't been soaked in tung oil for enough days, it wouldn't have bent even if it were broken in half.

This can only be done by pushing with force using hard horse and hard bridge.

And the huge palm print on the door, with traces of corrosion, is also very strange..."

Although the short-dressed young man's opinion could be called brainless.

Guan Xihui still analyzed the errors in it in detail.

And the reason he did so was actually to teach someone.

When walking in the world, knowledge cannot be learned from books; it must be taught by words and deeds at all times.

But unfortunately, although the short-dressed young man was very wrong, he was still careless.

Obviously not caring about Old Guan's comments on his ideas.

Guan Xihui caught a glimpse of his disapproving expression, his brows furrowed, and his tone changed:

"In the past, when I was with the Chief and Old He on Giant Serpent Head Island, managing the town and doing business;

While cultivating, I was also walking the world in the Outer Wild Ocean, busy and muddled all year round.

I don't know how many jokes I was made the subject of, and how many mistakes I made.

At that time, if someone could have pointed me in the right direction, I would have been willing to kowtow until my head bled.

You are all descendants of the old brothers of our Blackwood Alliance.

Working by my side, I am willing to teach you something.

But why can't you put your heart into it!"

In fact, the world is just like this.

Young people who have no family support but have talent, are willing to progress, can endure hardship, and are willing to risk their lives.

Seeing those children from rich and powerful families muddled and unwilling to progress, they just hate that heaven is unfair.

But when they finally make a name for themselves, they will find that the juniors around them have become the objects they once envied, envied, and hated.

Such a closed loop, what can be done!

With Guan Xihui's good brain, he actually understood this truth; the nonsense just now was just unwillingness.

After the lesson, he found that the surrounding followers were all frightened into being honest and attentive.

But he also knew that scolding this time would only work for a day, or even a few hours.

Suddenly he felt exhausted.

He waved his hand listlessly, "Alright, let's go back to the room.

Let's see Old Li again and ask carefully how that Governor Zhang plans to deal with us after taking control of Zhihai Stockade."

"Naturally, it's dealing with you by first using etiquette and then force."

As soon as the voice fell, a voice came from afar.

Zhang Gui walked out from the forest on Xuanzhi Mountain with a gloomy face.

He didn't actually think it was so rebellious for Zhang Yan, Guan Xihui, and others to turn the world upside down and become bandits after killing the third young master, who was known as the heaven-sent talent of the Pingyang Zhang Family.

Who among those who can make a career in the Outer Wild Ocean is not a choice of the time.

The unicorn company that had been managed for decades was finally made big and strong, and the investors kicked them out as soon as they said so.

Even if the return given was considered reasonable by the whole world, it was only natural that they were unwilling.

But what does it have to do with the people working underneath that you are fighting for wealth?

Zhang Yan first forced the cattle and horses like Zhang Gui in Blackwood Town to take sides.

Afterwards, at the very end, he used the "Vertical and Horizontal Book" to pit them again, causing many deaths.

And Zhang Gui, until now, standing on Giant Serpent Head Island blowing the wind, would still occasionally think of the stout and smiling manager Zhang Basheng who looked up to him most when he was working in Blackwood Town.

It's also strange; the two were clearly just nodding acquaintances.

But that fat face of Zhang Basheng, who never made things difficult for others and whose eyes would squint when he mentioned his only daughter, was so impressive for some reason.

So much so that Zhang Gui's final opinion of Zhang Yan and Guan Xihui's group was:

Understandable, but the impression is not good.

And Guan Xihui's impression of Zhang Gui was still stuck in the monkey stage of Blackwood Town, with one part brain, two parts luck, three parts slickness, and four parts luck.

Even if he felt that his means of breaking the door to demonstrate in Zhihai Stockade were incomprehensible, he didn't take it to heart.

It was just sending two three-zhang-wide hardwood stockade gates flying, not erasing the whole military stockade in one move.

Habitually twisting his beard and smiling slightly, Guan Xihui asked refinedly:

"Oh, Governor Zhang, how do you plan to use etiquette first and then force?"

Zhang Gui walked down the mountain like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, saying:

"How to use etiquette first, humph, humph, that is naturally to make it clear to you, Mr. Guan.

Now I, Zhang Gui, am a talented martial artist who entered the Way at sixteen.

A martial scholar of Siyang Commandery, Dongyue Sea Province, who submitted a petition to serve the Imperial Court.

After being examined by the duty deputy general of the Siyang Commandery Military Prefecture of Dongyue Sea Province, my martial arts, military books, and policy discussions were all 'Grade A.'

Appointed as:

Eighth-Rank Bandit-Suppressing Colonel of the Siyang Commandery Military Prefecture, Dongyue Sea Province, Ming Song Empire, Seal-Holding Governor of 'Zhihai Stockade' military and civilian affairs.

It can be said that the future is bright.

It is a world of difference from the old stick Governor of the Zhehai Tao Family you hooked up with before..."

Guan Xihui heard Zhang Gui being arrogant and talking nonsense in front of him.

He thought he had become a mere Eighth-Rank militia colonel by chance and was obsessed, thinking he was so great and wanted to be loyal to the country.

He couldn't help but be furious,

"What, do you still want to lock us up and make a contribution?"

While speaking, green skin floated on Guan Xihui's face, the teeth in his mouth slowly lengthened, becoming as sharp as steel nails, and long shrimp whiskers grew from the corners of his mouth.

The canine teeth above and below crossed and closed with the movement of his lips, which was very terrifying.

Zhang Gui walked to an open space two zhang away from Guan Xihui as if he didn't see it and stood still.

He reached out and slowly clenched his fist.

"No.

I mean I need more money!

Unless that dead old stick Governor of the Zhehai Tao Family was Zhang Yan's own father, it is absolutely impossible for him to help you smuggle for years without compensation.

He must have received benefits.

So how much you gave him before, you must give me double now.

This is the 'etiquette first' I'm talking about!"

Everyone present was furious when they heard these extremely arrogant words.

Especially the short-dressed young man, whose lips trembled, and he roared sharply:

"You, you actually dare to say who is, is, is, I..."

But he was covered by Guan Xihui's roar that tore through the sky,

"Good, good, good!

What a first etiquette then force!

Since you have finished the etiquette, let's try the 'force'!"
