After the immortal disappeared

The foreman took out his money bag, counted out the wages and gave them to them, "Okay, get out of here after you get the money!"

Wengsu swallowed a bitter smile. They worked conscientiously, but they were cleared of suspicion?

What is this thing called?

Weng Xing counted the coins in his hand: "So few?"

The foreman of the boat screamed and spat on the ground: "Do you also want to be arrested by the guards?"

Wengsu grabbed his brother and quickly got off the boat.

After landing, the two of them walked from the pier to the rear guesthouse. Weng Xingcai said: "It's really cunning. If those people are captured, the ship's foreman will not have to pay wages."

You use other people's work without giving them money.

"Brother, what should we do now?"

"Buy two horses and chase after them!" The Weng brothers have always been persistent.

"Uh, do you know where Xue is going?" They have deviated too far from their original plan, and now it seems that they are taking it one step at a time.

According to the original plan, they were supposed to kill Xue Zongwu at Yanmuya, or be killed by him.

From the moment I got on the ship, I had to adapt to circumstances.

Being able to adapt to changing circumstances is really not the strength of the two brothers.

"On his way to the capital, there is another place he must pass through." There is plenty of time on the ship. In addition to carrying large and hard work, Weng Su is also thinking deeply about the future direction, "Let's go to Mangzhou City!"

"Buy some wine and meat first!" They hadn't had a good meal in almost ten days, and the aroma of oil came from the back kitchen of the inn again. Weng Xing's eyes turned green with greed, and his stomach growled, "I want one." It must be bigger than your face!”

…

He Lingchuan and Fan Shuang got off the boat, and there was a busy scene on the shore.

This pier has not been so lively for a long time.

"The inn at the back is very poor. If we walk twenty miles further, there will be a very good inn." Fan Shuang pointed the way, "I stay there all the time."

Before he finished speaking, a group of guards rushed past, shouting at the same time: "Get out of the way, business is urgent, and those who are idle should retreat!"

The trestle was originally narrow, so several people were squeezed out by them and fell into the water.

They didn't care and just left.

He Lingchuan asked: "As if there is no one around. Whose subordinate is this?"

He found that this group of guards was holding several civilians in chains and pushing them forward. They looked like handymen or civilians on the ship, and they were all frightened and distressed.

Are these all suspects? Xue Zongwu indeed made arrangements.

He Lingchuan's heart moved, wondering if those men in black were among those arrested? Those people act impulsively and may fall into a trap without even thinking.

If so, it's a pity.

"It belongs to General Xue." Fan Shuang raised his chin to the shore and said, "That is General Xue Zongwu!"

He Lingchuan looked up and saw the target's true face for the first time.

Xue Zongwu was in his early forties, with a slender figure and handsome appearance. There was a mole at the end of his eyebrows. He looked at him like a hawk or a wolf, and few people dared to make eye contact with him.

Dong Rui coughed: "At first glance, he looked like he was not easy to mess with."

In the past, when he assassinated Ke Jihai, he felt that the target had the air of a general. Xue Zongwu's momentum seemed to be even more powerful than that of Ke Jihai.

"General Xue is an important general of our country. He studied under Qi Yunsheng of Qingnao Mountain. He is also the son-in-law of Zhenren Qi!" Fan Shuang said with a smile, "Twice in command, he is truly the pillar of the country."

At this time, naturally no one would bring up such a disappointing topic as "massacre".

He Lingchuan let out a long sigh: "I've heard about your name for a long time. Brother Fan, can you introduce me to him?"

Fan Shuang's smile froze slightly, and when she saw Xue Zongwu striding forward, she said, "Ah, General Xue is in a hurry. I'll see if there is a chance next time and I can help you two."

He was just a low-ranking official, how could he get close to Xue Zongwu?

However, Xue Zongwu looked here himself, saw the palace guards beside He Lingchuan, and walked over on his own.

"Commander Zhao?"

The leader of the palace guards assigned by King Yao to He Lingchuan was named Zhao. At this time, he also saluted Xue Zongwu: "General Xue."

He was a palace attendant and obviously knew Xue Zongwu.

"Commander Zhao, what is this mission?" Xue Zongwu asked Commander Zhao, but his eyes glanced back and forth at He Lingchuan and Dong Rui, but did not pay much attention to Fan Shuang.

Fan Shuang saluted shamelessly: "I have met General Xue. My subordinate is..."

Xue Zongwu waved his hand to interrupt him, with an impatient look on his face.

Commander Zhao replied: "This is He Lingchuan, the owner of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce. We have been ordered to send him to the capital."

"Oh, Yangshan Chamber of Commerce." Xue Zongwu said casually.

He Lingchuan could tell by looking at his smile that he was not very impressed by Yang Shan——

Giving some eye drops to Yangshan Chamber of Commerce is just a trivial matter for Xue Zongwu, he only needs to give instructions.

He hurt you and made you miserable, and then he forgot about you because he didn't take you seriously from the beginning to the end.

Nothing hurts more than this attitude.

However, He Lingchuan smiled gently and politely: "I'm glad to meet you. General Xue paid special attention to the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce. He is deeply touched by this, and always thinks about when to repay the favor."

The words "extra care" and "repay" are soft but long and long, making it difficult for others not to notice.

Xue Zongwu was startled.

As soon as He Lingchuan spoke, he remembered. The Yangshan Chamber of Commerce has indeed been "taken care of" by his own people recently to educate these outsiders, but there were only a few casualties. After all, the king also ordered the merchants to do business with it.

It was just a small blow. He had been merciful and had not used any real methods at all. Otherwise, Yangshan Chamber of Commerce would not have suffered more than this loss. But looking at this kid's performance, I'm still very unconvinced.

Repay, haha, how does he want to repay? A mere outsider chamber of commerce, a young man who knows nothing about the world!

Don't know good from evil.

If the king hadn't needed him later, Xue Zongwu would have killed him on the spot, and no one would have dared to say no!

Xue Zongwu also smiled back: "That's right. Don't be polite, Master Heda. Since my king has given instructions, I will take more care of Yang Shan in the future."

Dong Rui and the Soul Mirror said in their hearts: "Lie on the grass!"

Still need to "take more care of"? This threat is obvious. If He Lingchuan refuses to accept it, Xue Zongwu will continue to use ruthless tactics until he defeats the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce.

Considering Xue Zongwu's character and methods, this threat will definitely come true.

He Lingchuan looked pleasant, as if he didn't hear the threat: "Then thank General Xue first."

"It is my duty to share the king's worries." Xue Zongwu said sternly.

“I’d like to buy you a drink when I have time, and ask you for advice in person.”

Fan Shuang couldn't hear the conflict in the two people's words. He just said that they were being polite and couldn't help but say: "It's better to choose a different day, General Xue, why don't we go together today..."

He Lingchuan pointed in the direction where the boatmen were being taken away: "What did these people do?"

"Spy." Xue Zongwu spat out two words, "I want to take him back for interrogation."
