After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1370 Confrontation
The foreman took out his money bag and counted out the wages for them. "Okay, get the money and get out!"

Weng Su swallowed a bitter smile. They worked hard, but they were cleared of suspicion?

What is this thing called?
Weng Xing counted the copper coins in his hand: "So few?"

The foreman groaned and spat on the ground: "Do you want to be arrested by the guards too?"

Weng Su grabbed his brother and quickly got off the boat.

After landing, the two walked from the dock to the guesthouse at the back. Weng Xingcai said, "How cunning! The foreman doesn't have to pay the workers after they were captured."

You use other people's work but don't have to pay them.

"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 Mr. Xue is going?" They have already strayed too far from their original plan, and now it seems like they have to take it one step at a time.

According to the original plan, they should have killed Xue Zongwu at Yanmu Cliff, or been killed by him.

From the moment we got on board, we had to improvise.

Being able to adapt to changing circumstances is really not the strong point of these two brothers.

"He has to go through another place on his way to the capital." There was plenty of time on the boat. In addition to carrying heavy objects and doing hard work, Weng Su was also thinking deeply about the future direction. "Let's go to Mangzhou City!"

"Let's buy some wine and meat first!" They hadn't had a good meal in almost ten days. The aroma of oil wafted from the kitchen of the inn again. Weng Xing was so greedy that his eyes turned green and his stomach growled. "I want a pig's trotter in soy sauce! It must be bigger than my face!"

……

He Lingchuan and Fan Shuang got off the boat and saw a busy scene on the shore.

This pier hasn't been this lively for a long time.

"The posthouse behind here is very bad. Let's go 20 miles ahead and there will be a very good inn." Fan Shuang pointed the way. "I stay there both ways."

Before he finished speaking, a team of guards rushed over and shouted at the same time: "Make way, make way, urgent business, everyone else, please get out of the way!"

The pier was narrow to begin with, and several people were squeezed down by them and fell into the water with a splash.

They didn't care and just walked away.

He Lingchuan asked, "As if no one is around. Whose men are these?"

He found that this team of guards had held several civilians in chains and were pushing and shoving them forward. They looked like handymen or civilians on the ship, and they all looked frightened and worried.

Are these all suspects? Xue Zongwu had indeed made arrangements.

He Lingchuan's heart moved. He wondered if those men in black were among those arrested. Those people acted impulsively and might have jumped into the trap without thinking.

If that's the case, it's really a pity.

"General Xue's." Fan Shuang tilted his chin towards the shore, "That's 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 features. There was a mole at the end of his eyebrow, and he looked around like an eagle or a wolf. Few people dared to look him in the eye.

Dong Rui coughed and said, "It looks like he is not someone you want to mess with."

When he assassinated Ke Jihai before, he felt that his target had the aura of a great general. Xue Zongwu's aura seemed even more fierce than Ke Jihai's.

"General Xue is an important general of our country. He is a student of Qi Yunsheng of Qingniu Mountain and is also the son-in-law of Qi Zhenren!" Fan Shuang said with a smile, "He has been in command twice. He is an absolute pillar of our country."

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

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

Fan Shuang's smile froze slightly. Seeing Xue Zongwu striding forward, she said, "Ah, General Xue is in a hurry to get on the road. I'll see if there is a chance next time to help you two get together."

He was just a minor official, how could he get close to Xue Zongwu?

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

"Commander Zhao?"

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

He was a court attendant and was apparently acquainted with Xue Zongwu.

"Commander Zhao, what is this mission?" Xue Zongwu asked Commander Zhao, but his eyes were scanning between He Lingchuan and Dong Rui, and he didn't even bother to look at Fan Shuang.

Fan Shuang saluted shamelessly: "Greetings to General Xue, I am..."

Xue Zongwu waved his hand to interrupt him, looking impatient.

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

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

As soon as He Lingchuan saw his smile, he knew that he did not have a deep impression of Yang Shan.

To Xue Zongwu, putting some eye drops on the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce was just a trivial matter. He just had to give an order.

He hurt you, made you feel miserable, and then forgot about you because he never took you seriously from the beginning to the end.

Nothing is more hurtful than this attitude.

He Lingchuan smiled gently and politely: "Nice to meet you. General Xue has been particularly caring for the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce. I am deeply grateful and have always been thinking about how to repay him."

The words "special care" and "repay" are soft but lingering, making it difficult for others not to notice them.

Xue Zongwu was stunned.

As soon as He Lingchuan opened his mouth, he remembered that Yangshan Chamber of Commerce had 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 had also ordered all merchants to do business with it.

It was just a small blow, he had shown mercy and didn't use any real means, otherwise the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce would have suffered more than just this little loss. But looking at this kid's performance, he was still very unconvinced.

Repay, haha, how did he want to repay? Just a small foreign chamber of commerce, a young man who didn't know the immensity of the world!
Don't know good from evil.

If the king didn't need him in the future, Xue Zongwu would have killed him on the spot and no one would have dared to say no!

Xue Zongwu also smiled back: "It's my duty, Island Master He, don't be polite. Since my king has given instructions, I will take good care of Yang Shan in the future."

Dong Rui and the Soul Mirror thought to themselves: “Fuck!”

Still need "more care"? The threat was obvious. If He Lingchuan didn't obey, Xue Zongwu would have more ruthless tricks in the future until the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce was defeated.

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

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

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

"I'd like to buy you a drink sometime and ask for your advice in person."

Fan Shuang didn't hear the confrontation in the two people's words. She just thought they were being polite and couldn't help but say, "It's better to do it today than to wait for another day. General Xue, why don't we go together today..."

He Lingchuan pointed in the direction where the boatmen were being taken away and asked, "What have these people done wrong?"

"Spy." Xue Zongwu spat out two words, "Take him back for interrogation."
