Chapter 186 Extremely Complex
Li Hu, still shaken, looked at the adorable little panda on Chen Dao's shoulder, his heart filled with complex emotions.
He had sensed Xiao Yuan's unusual nature long ago, knowing that she wasn't as harmless as she seemed. But he never imagined that even as a seventh-rank martial artist, he would be utterly powerless against her...
Keep in mind, a seventh-rank martial artist is already at the peak of martial prowess in Taiping County, yet they can't even defeat a kitten...
This made Li Hu feel like he had wasted his martial arts training!
"I won't hide it from you."
Chen Dao gently stroked Xiao Yuan's head and said with a smile, "I obtained Xiao Yuan by chance in the Cangmang Mountains. Her combat strength is comparable to that of a sixth-grade martial artist!"
Li Hu, Xu Zhiwen, and Li Ying looked at each other, and each could see the trembling in the other's pupils!
What is the concept of a sixth-rank martial artist?
In the entire Taiping County, the strongest martial artist is a seventh-rank martial artist, and as for sixth-rank martial artists... there isn't a single one!
But Chen Dao told them that this seemingly adorable and harmless kitten was equivalent to a sixth-rank martial artist, which shocked the three of them.
Of course, it's also possible that Chen Dao exaggerated Xiao Yuan's strength, but the three of them felt that this was unlikely. First, Chen Dao had no reason to lie to them, and second...
They had all witnessed Xiao Yuan's fight with Li Hu. Xiao Yuan's combat power was indeed far superior to that of Li Hu, who was only a seventh-rank martial artist. As for whether she truly possessed the combat power of a sixth-rank martial artist, the three of them could not make a judgment.
Even Xu Zhiwen, who holds the highest position here, has never seen a martial artist of the sixth rank or above make a move!
"how?"
After casually describing Xiao Yuan's strength, Chen Dao looked intently at Xu Zhiwen: "Magistrate Xu, are you confident in dealing with the Yuan family now?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiwen first frowned, then his brows relaxed, and he laughed loudly, "Since you are determined to deal with the Yuan family, I will naturally lend you a hand!"
Eliminating the Yuan family has always been something Xu Zhiwen wanted to do but couldn't. Now that Chen Dao has joined the team, their strength has greatly increased, so he naturally has to take action!
"And you, Master Li?"
Chen Dao then looked at Li Hu.
Li Hu thought for a moment and nodded: "Since both young friend Chen and brother Xu have made their decisions, I, Li, will naturally join them!"
Li Hu also harbored no goodwill towards the Yuan family, and of course, he wouldn't mind joining Chen Dao's operation, after all...
Given Yuan Jiafu's immense wealth, Li Hu would reap substantial benefits after eliminating the Yuan family.
Just like when he wiped out the Zhu family last time, Li Hu made a fortune!
"but……"
Li Hu hesitated for a moment before asking, "After eliminating the Yuan family, how will the spoils be distributed?"
Although Li Hu didn't mind working together to deal with the Yuan family, he was an adult, and adults often prioritize self-interest. He wouldn't do something that involved putting in effort for nothing and getting no benefit in return.
"I need the Yuan family's grain."
Xu Zhiwen was the first to state what he wanted from the Yuan family. As the head of a county, grain was always the biggest problem weighing on Xu Zhiwen's shoulders. Without enough grain, he could not stabilize the county town or the refugees outside the town, and chaos could break out in Taiping County at any time.
"There is no problem with food supplies."
Chen Dao agreed without hesitation. Neither he nor Chenjia Village was experiencing a food shortage. In addition, the cold-resistant wheat had already grown, so food was no longer a problem for him. Therefore, Chen Dao agreed to Xu Zhiwen's request without hesitation.
Then, Chen Dao looked at Li Hu and asked, "Master Li, what about you?"
Li Hu thought for a moment and said, "I want the medicinal herbs from the Yuan family."
The Yuan family is very similar to the Zhu family, which was previously wiped out. The main industries they run are grain and medicinal herbs. Xu Zhiwen had already taken the grain, so Li Hu naturally set his sights on the Yuan family's medicinal herbs.
"can!"
Chen Dao agreed as well, "Apart from grain and medicine, all other assets of the Yuan family will belong to me. What do you two think?"
"no problem."
Li Hu and Xu Zhiwen readily gave their answer: they had already secured the Yuan family's most valuable grains and medicinal herbs, so they naturally wouldn't ask for anything else.
after all……
Chen Dao was the one who contributed the most to this operation.
"Then it's settled!"
Chen Dao then discussed the specific details of dealing with the Yuan family with the two of them.
After discussing for about fifteen minutes, Chen Dao stood up and said, "Then let's do it that way! I'll go do the first thing."
After saying that, Chen Dao led Chen Cheng away from the Fuhu Boxing Gym.
Li Hu watched Chen Dao's retreating figure until it completely disappeared from sight before sighing, "Young friend Chen is truly... a person who holds grudges!"
Li Hu had considered countless reasons why Chen Dao wanted to deal with the Yuan family, including the deaths of his relatives and friends by the Yuan family, the seizure of his land by the Yuan family, and so on.
But Li Hu never imagined that Chen Dao's reason for targeting the Yuan family was so simple!
When the three of them were discussing the matter, Chen Dao also explained his reasons for wanting to deal with the Yuan family, and these reasons seemed particularly absurd to Li Hu.
because……
Chen Dao's reason for targeting the Yuan family was simply that a manager of the Yuan family's pharmacy wanted to steal his goods...
It's no exaggeration to say that in Taiping County, no fewer than a thousand people have had their land and property seized by the Yuan family through trickery and coercion, but there is not a single person who dares to confront the Yuan family. Chen Dao is the only one!
"The Yuan family has messed with the wrong people!"
Xu Zhiwen stroked his beard and said with a smile.
In Taiping County, the Yuan family has been all-powerful for quite some time. Not to mention the direct descendants of the Yuan family, even the collateral relatives and the Yuan family's servants are extremely ruthless in bullying the common people.
Normally, the oppressed people would have no recourse, daring not to speak out in anger, but this time…
The owner of Yuan Family Pharmacy had clearly kicked a hornet's nest. Chen Dao was not one of those powerless, bullied commoners who dared not speak out, but rather... a hornet's nest that was enough to make the Yuan family suffer a crushing defeat!
"Yes!"
Li Hu and Li Ying both nodded. Chen Dao was accompanied by a pet that was no less powerful than a sixth-rank martial artist. Such a person... the Yuan family had provoked him, and they could only wait to die!
"Young friend Chen has already taken the lead; we should also make some preparations!"
"Ah."

Outside the Fuhu Boxing Gym.
When Chen Dao arrived in front of Chen Da and the others, he said to Chen Da, who was standing at the front, "Uncle, Cheng Ge'er and I have other things to do later. You and the others should find a hotel to stay in for the night."
As he spoke, Chen Dao took out five taels of silver and placed them in Chen Da's hand: "This is for the inn. Find a better hotel."
"to make."
Chen Da didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the silver directly. He then said, "Brother Dao, you must be careful when you go to do your business."
