Chapter 946 The Skill of Hugging a Powerful Person
"Despicable! You actually used a hidden weapon to injure someone!"
These so-called reputable sects hate the use of hidden weapons, even though they are not exactly upright gentlemen themselves.
"That's right, this is a hidden weapon, a hidden weapon that can instantly kill any expert below the fifth level!" Lin Ping said, emphasizing his words.
They had to admit the immense power of the flintlock pistol; several fourth-level masters were injured, proving that Lin Ping's words were true.
"Damn it, we won't let you get away with this!" the men said through gritted teeth, already planning to go back and get reinforcements.
"Are you all stupid? Can't you see the situation?" Lin Ping couldn't help but shout.
However, they couldn't see it at all!
Even the local residents were somewhat bewildered.
"Okay, let me explain..." Lin Ping was somewhat helpless. In such a shining moment, no one echoed him. He was indeed a failure.
"You've all witnessed the power of this hidden weapon. Even an ordinary person could kill a fourth-level expert with it," Lin Ping said.
The crowd remained silent, knowing that Lin Ping was not lying.
"Could it be?" Zhang Rong was dumbfounded. He finally understood what Lin Ping meant.
"What if all five thousand soldiers were equipped with this kind of hidden weapon? That would be five thousand peak fourth-stage experts."
I'll never rest until I say something shocking!
Lin Ping's words startled everyone.
Let alone small sects, even if the three major sword sects joined forces, they would definitely not have five thousand peak fourth-stage experts.
hiss!
Everyone gasped, and the men who had just threatened to take revenge on Lin Ping lowered their heads.
They had to reassess the danger level of Meizhou City.
"Can your Wushan Sword Sect match him?" Lin Ping asked, pointing to the most unlucky person.
"No..." the man replied reluctantly, but the facts were undeniable and he had no choice but to believe them.
"Where is your Bashan Sword Sect?"
"Neither can..."
The Bashan disciple said fearfully, terrified that Lin Ping might wipe out the entire Bashan Sword Sect if he became unhappy.
"Are the guards of my great empire really this powerful?" the common people wondered.
It's not that I don't believe it, it's that I dare not believe it.
These five thousand guards could easily sweep across the entire continent.
"If the three major sword sects were to unite, would they have the strength to fight these guards?" Lin Ping asked a soul-searching question.
After much deliberation, the group finally answered, "No, we can't either!"
"Since you can't, then get out of here!" Lin Ping said domineeringly. "You all remember this: from now on, Meizhou City is a taboo in the martial arts world. If anyone disagrees, I won't hesitate to wipe out your entire sect!"
That's how arrogant we are!
These people were terrified and wanted to report the news to the sect immediately. They couldn't let some ignorant disciple offend this person in Meizhou City and bring disaster to the entire sect.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, feeling the care from the imperial court for the first time.
"You old emperor, you must remember the good things Master Ping did for you," Lin Ping said inwardly. He had indeed won over many hearts and minds for the emperor.
This news quickly spread throughout the entire Sichuan region, and no sect dared to set foot in Meizhou City again. The name "forbidden land of martial arts" had become deeply ingrained in people's minds.
"Sir, are there really five thousand of these?" Zhang Rong asked anxiously.
He had actually fought his way up from the battlefield, so he naturally knew the importance of a flintlock pistol to a soldier.
Even if only one thousand of the five thousand men were equipped with pistols, Zhang Rong would still be confident enough to sweep across the entire continent.
Lin Ping held up five fingers.
"Only five hundred?" Zhang Rong was somewhat disappointed, but could barely accept it.
After all, the more powerful the weapon, the more troublesome it is to make. Five hundred weapons would be enough for Zhang Rong to stand tall and not be afraid of any sect's provocation.
"Not even five! Do you think this is scrap metal?" Lin Ping poured cold water on him.
"Please, just give me one! I don't want to be looked down upon by those sects," Zhang Rong pleaded, already aware of the preciousness of the Suifa pistol.
"No, no, figure out how to protect the people here yourselves." Lin Ping said impatiently.
He has already helped Zhang Rong solve a major problem; now it remains to be seen how he performs.
"Sir, please have pity on this poor lad." Zhang Rong grabbed Lin Ping's leg and shook it incessantly.
"Where did you learn this skill of sucking up to others?" Lin Ping shook his leg forcefully, trying to kick this clingy leech away.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, Lord Zhang. This pistol was prepared for you long ago." Jiang Yunying smiled and handed Zhang Rong an exquisite pistol, which was hers.
Zhang Rong had no resistance to such a treasure; he was overjoyed holding it in his hands and showing it off everywhere.
"Wife, that's for your self-defense," Lin Ping said with concern.
"My husband is my greatest protection," Jiang Yunying said with a slight smile.
"Hmph, that kid got off easy," Lin Ping said angrily. "But it's good to give him one, at least it will serve as a deterrent."
Jiang Yunying could easily see through Lin Ping's thoughts. He wanted to give Zhang Rong a pistol, but he didn't want to hand over Jiang Hongling's token of love.
So, she acted like a nice guy.
The operation was a great success. Disciples from all sects and factions in the city were terrified and quickly fled after dropping their weapons.
Within a day, not a single martial arts practitioner could be found in the entire city of Meizhou.
On the first night, some brave locals tried to go out into the streets to see what was going on.
They encountered no danger whatsoever.
The following night, even more people took to the streets, and some shops even extended their closing time.
Three days later, the nights in Meizhou City became lively, with almost all the shops brightly lit and open for business.
This is equivalent to having an extra dinner, which is a huge benefit to the hot pot restaurant's business.
Moreover, due to Lin Ping's growing fame, crowds of people came here to eat as a token of their gratitude.
Meanwhile, truckloads of chili peppers have arrived from the distant East, completely solving the raw material problem.
Three days later, Old Man Qin took the money and bought a restaurant, renamed it a hot pot restaurant, and it immediately became the most famous restaurant in Meizhou City.
Five days later, the people of Meizhou City lived a peaceful and prosperous life, and the major sects dared not set foot here.
Of course, there are also those with a sweet tooth who, upon hearing of the hot pot restaurant's existence, strip off their fancy clothes, don ordinary civilian clothes, and sneak off to eat here.
This happened frequently afterward, and they even accounted for one-tenth of the customer base.
The five days that seemed peaceful on the surface were actually filled with undercurrents.
Many sects were outraged upon hearing the news, and they certainly had their own thoughts, but unfortunately, their strength did not allow them to cause trouble.
"Sect Master, should we retake Meizhou City?" Within the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, all the elders gathered to discuss the issue of Meizhou City.
