Fox Road Travel Notes

Early the next morning, Wang Heming arranged for everyone to prepare carriages and horses.

Chen Zican was actually very tired these days from battling wits and courage with those old foxes.

He has always been supported by the huge harvest he obtained through deception and the sense of accomplishment it brought him.

After all, whoever does such a big thing and gets so much money is probably too excited to sleep.

Now, the food has been distributed to the victims, and the banknotes have been given to Wang Heming, which can be regarded as a feast for the eyes.

It is said that everything is light when nothing happens. Chen Zican slept very soundly last night.

It wasn't until Kuan'er woke him up and told him that everyone was ready to go that he got up in a daze.

Wang Heming helped him get into the car. Seeing his sleepy look, he smiled and said, "Zi Can, is it because you were so distressed last night that you couldn't sleep?"

Chen Zican rolled his eyes at him: "Tsk, I have one hundred and eight clever ideas in my mind. Which one is not worth one hundred thousand taels of silver?"

"As the saying goes, my talents will be useful if I am born with them. I will come back after all the money I have spent..."

The guard in black who was driving the carriage shook the reins, and the carriage started slowly.

Wang Heming followed the car and asked in a low voice: "That day, you said that if it didn't rain, you had more magical and unpredictable methods waiting for them."

"what exactly is it?"

Chen Zican hummed, squinted his eyes, slowly stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it here..."

Wang Heming was puzzled. He stretched out his head and asked, "What? What can you bring?"

"Two paintings, one wearing a hat and the other wearing a crown. When it rains, put on the one wearing a hat, and when it's sunny, put on the one on the back."

"With such a simple method, I got almost 100,000 taels of silver..."

Chen Zican chuckled: "Isn't it possible that the more powerful ones are not worth this number?"

Wang Heming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You said it is simple, but I think this deception is extremely complicated!"

"The prediction of rain, the opportunity to lure everyone away, and the rhetoric of playing hard to get, the key is the whimsical layout..."

"If these are slightly wrong, it may be in vain. Is there any more sophisticated method than this?"

Chen Zican sneered: "Everything that needs to be done in the front has been laid, and the rest will fall into place naturally."

"At most, the rain prediction was wrong this time, and there will be another time."

"It's going to rain. The fish has already been hooked, so why bother slipping around a few more times?"

Wang Heming suddenly realized it and nodded: "Not bad, not bad..."

Suddenly his face changed drastically: "Zi Can, this March sky is like a child's face."

"What if it rains in Handan these two days and Sun Shangshu discovers that the fairy painting is out of order and reports it to the officials and chases after him?"

"No, I have to ask the people below to speed up!"

Chen Zican smiled lazily and said, "What's the hurry?"

"A severe drought this spring is a foregone conclusion, and there will definitely not be much rain."

"It is estimated that even if he knows about it, it will be at least half a month before he sends people to chase him..."

"Moreover--"

Chen Zican smiled even more sinisterly: "He is looking for the brothers of the Xi family. He wants to take revenge, and the people he is looking for are also the Xi family."

"You just reap the benefits and have fun secretly. What are you afraid of?"

Wang Heming was surprised and said: "Great plan! Could it be that you had already planned to kill two birds with one stone?"

After thinking for a while, he shook his head: "It must be so!"

"This deception is a trick with deep and far-reaching hooks and a chain of links. It is indeed extremely powerful!"

Chen Zican said seriously: "Actually, at the last moment, I still couldn't bear it..."

"Against the Xi family? Or those gangsters from Handan?"

Chen Zican arranged wine for Zhou Fengji at the county government office that day as a farewell party for him.

Sun Shangshu returned the bought child to his parents at the banquet.

Liu Jinshi and others also promised that the land deed could be redeemed at the original price within one year, and they all told Wang Heming.

That night, he was really just a little bit closer to being moved by the sudden burst of humanity from these guys who usually eat people without spitting out their bones.

But he knows that dogs can't change their habits.

Being in that class, they cannot betray the interests of that class.

It is never impulse that determines the head, but his butt.

Although Wang Heming also knew it, he was still slightly moved.

After a moment of silence, Chen Zican reached out and took out a wooden box and handed it to Wang Heming.

"Brother Wang, forget it, keep a line in your behavior so that we can meet again in the future!"

"Excuse me, please send someone to deliver this "Picture of Immortal Wearing Li" to him."

"Attached is another letter to remind him not to forget to put on this one wearing a bamboo hat when it rains."

"Anyway, no one knows the inside story, so at least his old face can be preserved..."

Wang Heming was stunned and laughed out loud at his fantastic idea.

After crossing the Zhanghe River in the afternoon, we arrived in Anyang. Wang Heming looked a little sad.

"Zi Can, this is already the boundary of Yuzhou. Tomorrow, we can go to Wei Hui Mansion..."

"Although we met by chance on the way, we hit it off right away."

"Zi Can is both a teacher and a friend to me."

"I have received a lot of blessings these days. I don't know when we will see each other again!"

Chen Zican smiled and said, "Brother Wang, as long as you understand the general principles of the Book of Deception that I told you, you will never be trapped in this world again."

"One day, when you are tired of the bloodshed, I will come to find you."

"At that time, you must promise me something!"

Wang Heming looked at him deeply, and without asking any questions, he stretched out his hand: "Then - it's a deal!"

That night, they stayed in Hebi. Monk Tong and all the brothers knew that they were about to say goodbye to Chen Zican, so they dragged him to drink until midnight.

It wasn't until Kuan'er came to look for him that we dispersed.

We didn't get along for long, from awe to admiration.

Chen Zican's wit, humor and bold personality have won everyone's respect and friendship.

The motorcade set off at dawn and arrived at Wei Hui Mansion at noon.

There is a tea shed next to the avenue. It is hot and many passers-by rest here.

Wang Heming and Chen Zican also found a table to sit down, and suddenly saw a couplet posted on a pillar.

The first couplet is: The four elements are empty. Sitting for a moment makes no difference between you and me.

The second line is: There is a road at both ends, eat your own food.

The two looked at each other and sighed in their hearts.

After resting, Chen Zican mounted the big black horse, raised his hands and said to everyone: "Thank you brothers for seeing me all the way."

"Here is not far from Xiuwu County. We are destined to meet again!"

Monk Tong hurriedly pulled the reins: "Brother Chen, what are you in a hurry for?"

"I didn't have enough fun yesterday. I want to have a drink with you tonight!"

"Come on, don't be in a hurry, just sit in the car and sit down. Tomorrow, we brothers will send you to my house together..."

Wang Heming smiled and said, "Zi Can, Third Brother Tong is right."

"It won't take more than a moment, we will send you to practice martial arts."

"But, after leaving Wei Hui Mansion, I will go all the way west..."

Before Chen Zican could finish his words, Monk Tong took him off the horse and put him into the car.

"Whether it's going east or west, sit tight, brother, I'll drive you!"

Chen Zican was dumbfounded by him.

After passing Hanoi County, Chen Zican shouted: "Stop, stop here, let's not cross here!"

Monk Tong didn't look back, "Why stop? Xiuwu County is ahead."

Chen Zican smiled bitterly and said to him and Wang Heming: "I can't give it away anymore!"

"To be honest, my brother is in Xiu Wu to be the county magistrate."

"He is a somewhat rigid nerd. If I see my little brother walking with a large group of heroes like you, you will definitely punish me when you get back."

"Besides, there are so many people and so many eyes. If the Sun family follows the traces and traces them here, it will cause a lot of inconvenience to my eldest brother..."

Everyone looked at each other, Wang Heming nodded.

He raised his voice and said, "Then, dismount here and let's find a place to rest!"

Then he called a guard and whispered a few instructions.

Chen Zican and Kuo'er also started to salute.

At this time, Monk Tong came over and said, "There is nothing to go here. There is a noodle shop in front. Let's sit down somewhere!"

Chen Zican followed the others down the official road, walked around a few persimmon trees, and saw several earthen houses with a blue shop sign with white letters on it.

"Chen's beef noodles?"
