Chapter 406 Who are you?
Lu Cheng's sensing distance is 4,096 meters. No one on this continent can have a longer perception distance than his. Even super-high powerhouses like Wu Zun cannot do it. What Lu Cheng needs to get used to now is that when he knows some news before others, he should act as if nothing happened. Otherwise, people will see the clues and he will face endless troubles.
"Uncle Pang, is it time to collect taxes recently?" Lu Cheng asked calmly. If he could leave one day early, he might not have to meet people from the Dongmen family.
"Yes, that's why I don't want to leave these things. Brother Lu Cheng, I'm almost done and I can leave." Pang Shanzu finally packed up his luggage. He made a large wooden rack, put everything on, and carried it all.
In fact, Pang Shanzu paid taxes in advance. A few days in each quarter, people from the Dongmen family would come to collect taxes. The reason why he was injured this time was that he wanted to catch a prey back because he was originally planning to pay taxes to the Dongmen family. But since Lu Cheng promised to take them in, he naturally did not need to pay taxes to the Dongmen family. However, if the things at home were not taken away, they would definitely be moved away by the people from the Dongmen family.
"I'll just recite it." Lu Cheng said that although Pang Shanzu's injuries were healed, if he carried so many things, he might not be able to walk at all. Pang Shanzu didn't explain it clearly to him. He didn't know that Pang Shanzu's previous taxes had actually been paid.
"Brother Lu Cheng, this is the direction to the city." Pang Shanzu saw that Lu Cheng took the lead, but walked towards the riverside and quickly said loudly.
"Go to the river to have a good bath first." Lu Cheng said that he was not afraid of those people from the Dongmen family, but he just didn't want to worry about the Pang family. It doesn't matter if he offended the Dongmen family, but if they knew, they would be uneasy for the rest of their lives. But if he knew that Pang Shanzu's tax would have been paid a long time ago, there would be no need to do anything else.
Pang Shanzu looked at the direction of Baolongzhou City and nodded thoughtfully. Just now, Lu Cheng asked about the day of paying taxes. The reason why he had to pack up all his family's belongings was that he didn't want to leave it to the Dongmen family. He calculated that the day for paying taxes in the next quarter was about to come. People from the Dongmen family were not so easy to reason. If you really meet someone who collects taxes, even if you don't pay a quarter of taxes, at least you can't let them go in vain. He knew the faces of these people very well.
"Brother Lu, when will we leave?" Pang Tiande didn't know that Lu Cheng was trying to avoid the people of the Dongmen family. He just felt that he had been washing in the river for too long. He had never entered the city since he was a child, and now he can't wait to go to Baolongzhou City to see the world.
"Okay, let's go now." Lu Cheng said that although he was not familiar with the surrounding situation, he had a sensing distance of 4,096 feet, and it was easy to find another way to avoid the people of the Dongmen family.
After walking in the jungle for five days, Lu Cheng took them back to the main road. It was said that it was the main road, but in fact it was a road that only accommodated a carriage. Although Lu Cheng took the Pang family and his son to walk in the jungle for five days, he did not take a detour.
"How far is it from Baolongzhou City?" Lu Cheng asked Pang Shanzu next to him.
"It will take about twenty days." Pang Shanzu said that since he entered the jungle, he had not returned to Baolongzhou City for more than ten years. Some daily necessities he needed. People from the Dongmen family would bring him when they came to collect taxes.
"Twenty days?" Lu Cheng frowned. If there were no Pang's father and son, he would probably only need one day to arrive. But since he decided to take in Pang's father and son, he would naturally tolerate some of their practices.
"If you have something to do, you can go to Baolongzhou City first, and we can keep up." Pang Shanzu said that although he was on the sixth level of internal strength, it also dragged down Lu Cheng at this time.
Since Pang Shanzu decided to follow Lu Cheng, everything had to be considered for Lu Cheng. Although he didn't know how high Lu Cheng's cultivation was, he understood one thing that Lu Cheng's cultivation was definitely not low. He believed that it was the right choice for his father and son to follow Lu Cheng.
"No need." Lu Cheng said. He sighed silently in his heart. At this time, the people from the Dongmen Family behind had already caught up. The three of them were walking, because Pang Tiande's speed made the three of them unhappy. However, the people behind had two carriages, and it was easy to catch up with them. Lu Cheng originally thought that the people from the Dongmen Family would not return to Baolongzhou City, so it was obvious that he had guessed that he was wrong.
"Oh no, someone is coming from behind." Pang Shanzu suddenly heard the sound of a carriage behind him and said in horror. He didn't have to look at it. Just by listening to the sound, he knew that this was a member of the Dongmen Family. In this area, except for the people of the Dongmen Family, other forces could not drive a carriage away from Baolongzhou City so far.
Chaopeng from Dongmen also saw them. Although he couldn't see the people ahead clearly, he knew that it was very likely that it was Pang Shanzu and his son. This time he came to collect taxes, but when he got here, he found that Pang Shanzu and his son had left. He did not receive the tax, which made him very angry. Although the tax he collected this time was for the next quarter. However, Pang Shanzu did not say hello in advance in the last quarter, which made him a waste of time, so he naturally would not let them go.
Dongmen Chaopeng ordered a quick horse to whip, and soon he saw three figures. From the speed of the three walking, Dongmen Chaopeng did not take them seriously. He was a warrior in the early stage of the eighth level of internal energy, while Pang Shanzu only had the sixth level of internal energy. He wanted to bully Pang Shanzu, just like a cat playing with a mouse.
"Pang Shanzu, you are so brave, you dare to evade taxes!" Chaopeng from the East Gate suddenly jumped out of the carriage and blocked Pang Shanzu. His eyes were like beans, and when he swept over Lu Cheng's face, he snorted coldly.
When Lu Cheng set out, he had already blocked his cultivation with the Turtle Breath Technique. Now his cultivation only shows the early stage of the seventh level of internal strength. The Yellow Dragon Kingdom is thousands of miles away from the Ling'an Chief Kingdom. Lu Cheng believes that no one will know him here.
"I didn't owe any money to the previous taxes. How is it called tax evasion?" Pang Shanzu glanced at Lu Cheng and argued with reason.
"You wanted to settle in the mountains, but I asked you for love. Now you don't say hello and leave without saying a word, which is a bit unreasonable." Dongmen Chaopeng said with a sneer.
"Aren't you saying hello to you now?" Lu Cheng said lightly.
"Who are you? Pang Shanzu is a tenant from the Dongmen family. How dare you speak for him!" Dongmen Chaopeng said coldly.
