The Grand Void – Becoming a Dragon

Bandits in Huaibei!

Zhuang's firm!

Originally, King Chen did not connect this matter with Zhuang Ming.

After all, this is just a businessman, a white man, a commoner.

But at this moment when the guard mentioned it, my heart was shocked.

"Zhuang's firm..."

Chen Wang closed his eyes slightly and said, "You go down first."

If the officer met with amnesty, he hurriedly withdrew.

After the rockery, the man in black came out.

"What kind of bandits dare to ambush and kill people from the government?"

"First kill eighty-five people under the king's command, then poison three hundred horses, loot ore, kill all the guards, and burn the military workshop."

"Bandits ask for money, but they don't want their lives."

"But they obviously don't want their lives, and they don't ask for money."

"This is for the king."

Wang Chen turned his head and said, "Do you know anything about the bandits in Huaibei?"

The man in black said in a low voice: "I'm new here, and my subordinates are following the prince. They came to Huai'an to take office, so I'm not familiar with Huaibei."

Chen Wang calmly said: "Check! Let's check all the recent actions of Zhuang's firm, and what is the connection between these Huaibei bandits..."

The man in black replied: "This subordinate understands that we will definitely annihilate these bandits and return Huai'an to a bright future."

——

After half an hour.

The man in black returned again, but his expression was extremely weird.

"What's wrong?"

"There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that not long ago, a batch of goods from Zhuang's firm was robbed on the way to Guangfu, and the escorts were killed, including one of Zhuang Ming's capable masters named Lu Yang."

"It seems that the Zhuang's firm came to report the case, and it is not false." Chen Wang frowned, and said: "Could it be that this king is wrong, and there is no collusion between the two?"

"My lord..." The man in black said again: "According to the news, these bandits in Huaibei were surrounded by the government and couldn't gain a foothold in Huaibei, so they fled to Huai'an in a hurry. , nor have the ability to slaughter the soldiers who escort the ore and protect the artisans."

"You mean, someone is pretending to be a Huaibei bandit?"

"There is another rumor in the rivers and lakes."

"Oh?" Chen Wang frowned.

"I heard that these bandits from Huaibei came to Huai'an a few days ago and intercepted a batch of goods from Zhuang's business, but Zhuang Ming, who will take revenge, used a martial arts master to wipe them all out." When the man said this, he added: "It's just that the rumors are just rumors and have not been confirmed yet."

"Not confirmed yet?" Chen Wang asked, "What do you mean?"

"These bandits from Huaibei fled to Huai'an. They have no fixed place and no definite place to stay. Even if they were really wiped out by Zhuang's business, they don't know where they were wiped out." The man in black replied: "Maybe In a certain deep mountain and old forest, maybe in a certain cave, maybe they were all buried casually, or eaten up by wild animals. During these days, the government did not find any corpses, so they could not settle the case. identify..."

"How did the news get out?"

"The news released by Zhuang's Trading Company and the threat that anyone who dares to rob Zhuang's Trading Company's goods will be killed. The purpose of releasing these words must be to deter all thieves and bandits. However, after the news was released by Zhuang's Trading Company, These Huaibei bandits have indeed never appeared before."

"oh?"

Chen Wang clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "It's really him?"

Mere merchants and civilians, do you really have the guts to take such a big risk?

If this matter is verified, this king can punish his nine clans!

No matter how you think about it, it shouldn't be this powerless businessman, but at this moment, it seems that it is really that disabled young man?

"The bandits in Huaibei haven't shown up for many days. Even if the incident was really done by the bandits in Huaibei, they shouldn't have left a token." The man in black said in a low voice, "The other party deliberately left a token, which is a blatant provocation! And this Zhuang's firm , I didn’t report the case earlier, but now I have come to report to the government, saying that the goods were intercepted by Huaibei bandits a few days ago, what a coincidence.”

"This is a blatant provocation!"

Chen Wang said coldly: "The token in the paper ashes was left on purpose, and he came to report the case on purpose... He told this king on purpose that this matter was written by his Zhuang's firm!"

With a stern look on his face, he shouted: "Zhuang Ming, you are courting death!"

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that not long ago on the building boat, Zhuang Ming begged for mercy in the name of seeking cooperation. After being rejected by him, the other party did not show despair, but left a word.

"Zhuang is very sincere, I will let the prince see my sincerity."

sincerity!

This is his so-called sincerity?

In such a brutal way, you want to force yourself to compromise?

"My lord..."

"Mobilize the Zhennan Army."

Chen Wang said in a cold voice: "The craftsmen were transferred again, the ore and war horses were re-escorted, and the military workshop was rebuilt. All escort and guard duties were handed over to the Zhennan Army. In addition, send people to watch Zhuang Ming, and don't let him escape. Forget it, this king wants to see him first tonight, so you should pass down the order first, order people to set up an ambush, wait for this king's order, and then kill him on the spot for the crime of assassinating this king!"

The man in black hurriedly replied: "Yes."

——

Qianlong Villa.

Zhuang Ming closed his eyes slightly, and in his hands, the young dragon was swimming slightly, its whole body transparent and colorless, like a cloud snake.

At this moment, both Qian Yang and Yin Ming have been dispatched by him.

Bai Lao thoroughly investigated the internal affairs and coordinated everything.

Lu He, Bai Qing, Liu He, Yue Yang and others called on the dead soldiers under their command to act on orders.

As for Qian Yang and Yin Ming, under his control, they were not inferior to martial arts masters, so they were also dispatched together.

This is also to ensure safety. After all, the subordinates of King Chen are not idlers, or they made mistakes in their calculations.

And with Qian Yang and Yin Ming on this trip, they are fully confident that they can wipe out King Chen's subordinates and prevent any fish that slip through the net, so as not to leave any survivors.

In addition, it is also to reduce casualties. After all, this group of people are loyal to Zhuang Ming and are willing to go all out to kill the government for him. It can be seen that they belong to Zhuang's firm in their hearts more than Dongsheng Dynasty.

Such a dead man is rare.

With Qian Yang and Yin Ming, casualties can be reduced and accidents can be avoided.

"Finally finished."

Thinking like this, Zhuang Ming caressed the young dragon in his hand, and let out a breath slowly.

Since he was in business, it was only at the beginning of the operation that Qian Yang and Yin Ming were sent out due to lack of manpower. But after the business improved, he always had to keep one of them by his side to protect his own safety.

But now it is different, after this young dragon opened his mouth, he ate a lot of treasures from heaven and earth, and in a short period of time, he has improved again, now under his precise luck, he may not be unable to match the martial arts master, it is enough Protect your own safety.

In this way, he can rest assured that Qian Yang and Yin Ming will be dispatched.

"Young master."

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, it was Lu He's voice.

Zhuang Ming was not surprised, Qian Yang and Yin Ming were also among them, and he knew every move of Lu He and others.

In many cases, he was the one who used Yin Ming's mouth to guide Lu He and others to act.

"Come in."

Everyone outside the door entered in turn.

Except for Bai Lao who is still busy, Lu He and others who went to ambush him have all returned.

Zhuang Ming looked at the crowd, who were more or less injured, sighed, and said, "Thanks for your hard work."

Lu He took a step forward, bowed and said, "My lord, this trip will be led by two adults, Qian Yang and Yin Ming, with assistance from Lu He, Bai Qing, Liu He, and Yue Yang, and a total of thirty-six people will be summoned. Under the orders of the young master, I ambushed and murdered, looted ore, poisoned the horses, set fire to the military workshop, lost eight people and seriously injured five, and finally fulfilled all the orders of the young master."

Hearing this, Zhuang Ming's expression darkened slightly, and he said: "Thirty-six people, all of them are people who have nothing to worry about, and have nothing to say about their future."

After a pause, Zhuang Ming continued: "Thirty-six people today will remember all their meritorious deeds. Eight people who died this time will be buried richly, and their names will be remembered, their portraits will be painted, and the treasure house will be sealed. Do your best to treat them, and reward them generously, with a reward of one thousand taels of silver. Everyone else will be rewarded with eight hundred taels of silver."

Lu He and the others saluted as much as possible, answering softly.

And Qian Yang and Yin Ming walked behind Zhuang Ming.

Lu He raised his head, and said again: "This time I can complete the command of the young master, it is due to the bravery and invincibility of the two adults Qian Yang and Yin Ming, otherwise, relying on me and more than 30 people, I am afraid that I will disappoint the high expectations of the young master. Even if it can be done, I am afraid There were also heavy casualties."

Hearing this, Bai Qing, Liu He, and Yue Yang all agreed, and said: "The two adults should take the lead."

Zhuang Ming slightly raised his hand, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "I see."

In fact, he has always distinguished rewards and punishments, but Qian Yang and Yin Ming, because they are ancient corpses, are under his personal control, so they rarely receive any rewards.

It was because of this that Song Tianyuan felt that there was an opportunity to try to instigate Yin Ming.

Presumably in the eyes of these few people, they also felt that they had treated the two martial arts masters badly in the past.

It's just that in the past he didn't dare to say much, for fear of offending the young master, but today he dared to speak out because he fought side by side with Qian Yang and Yin Ming, and everything was in his eyes.

Just when Zhuang Ming was about to continue speaking, he stopped again.

There were footsteps outside the door.

Footsteps approached.

"Young master."

The servant's voice came, and said: "Master Zhao invites you to have a banquet tonight, and invite you to come to his house to have a talk."

Zhuang Ming calmly said: "Reply to the person who came, I understand, tonight will be a banquet."

After finishing speaking, he said with a smile: "Master Zhao must be involuntary at the moment. The banquet tonight is likely to be organized by King Chen."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay.

Yue Yang whispered: "Shall we go with the young master?"

Zhuang Ming waved his hand and said: "Tonight is mainly about talking about things, not going desperately, as long as Qian Yang and Yin Ming are enough. Moreover, you just killed someone today, the murderous aura has not dissipated, and the hostility is still there, you can't be like Qian Yang and Yin Ming Concentrate in this way, all of them will stay in Qianlong Villa, so as to recuperate from injuries, and don't go out in the near future."

Lu He saluted and said, "Yes."

Then, he led Bai Qing, Liu He, and Yue Yang to retreat.
