Star Trace Gate

Two days passed in a row.

In Qingliang Mansion, Ren Ye walked slowly in the front yard of the government office with his hands behind his back, looking up at the main entrance from time to time.

Next to her, the cute-looking Yin Susu was dangling her calves, sitting on a large chair and chewing an apple.

Since she woke up, her appetite has become bigger and bigger, and she has completely become a snack food. From early morning to dusk, her little mouth is almost non-stop.

After waiting for a while, Huang Wei walked in quickly.

Ren Ye saw him and immediately stepped forward: "Is there any movement in Southern Xinjiang?"

"I just went to take a look myself, and there is no one outside the fog." Huang Wei shook his head and said, "...Alas, I really don't understand. The two leaders were arrested, but the brothers on the other side didn't react at all? Damn, there is no sense of brotherhood at all. Our joint-stock startup is more reliable."

Ren Ye felt upset when he heard this.

He has been waiting for Jingshan to contact him for the past two days, hoping to solve the trade problem as soon as possible. Because only in this way can he successfully sell his family property in exchange for Star Source to advance; secondly, the Qingliang Mansion is stable, and he wants to travel to the star gate of the migration place as soon as possible to find news about the Demon Monk and the Lotus Lantern.

But who knew that after the battle outside Qingfeng Inn, there would be no sound from the other side.

It's sad that things are stuck here...

"How about we talk to Lu Long?" Huang Wei thought for a while and made a suggestion: "Ask him to write a letter and take it to Jingshan. Didn't they threaten us before? Let's also threaten them... tell them directly "Jingshan, if they don't respond again, I'll tell the kitchen to add another dish, sliced ​​eggs and fried peppers, starting with Lulong and cutting them half a day, which will last for half a month for these four people."

"Let's go and meet Boss Lu." Ren did not respond directly. He just greeted him and walked towards the government prison.

……

In the dungeon.

Lu Long sat on the straw mat with his hair disheveled, his whole body smelled bad, and he looked miserable.

However, his expression was still calm. It had been almost three days since he came in, and he hadn't shouted or yelled, nor had he asked to talk to Ren Ye. He just ate and drank as usual, inadvertently revealing an attitude that he had everything under control.

Why is Brother Lu so confident?

Because he knew why the Qianli Green Camp was targeting Qingliang Prefecture; he could also roughly guess what the dragon leader was trying to do.

Trade here must go through Jingshan, and among the five thousand mountain bandit leaders in Jingshan, more than half of them came here for his name, so Jingshan cannot be managed without him. If Qianli Green Camp wants to puppet Qingliang Prefecture as soon as possible, they must rely on him.

Also, if he was the only one captured this time, Lu Long might still be a little worried, because the second in command, Wang Xinggui, also had some prestige in the mountains and had a treacherous character... However, now that he and he were captured together, there was no hidden danger.

Therefore, it is estimated that Qianli Green Camp is already thinking of ways to rescue himself.

Thinking of this, Lu Long smiled as steadily as an old dog.

"Tap tap...!"

There was a sound of footsteps, and Lu Long frowned, then deliberately closed his eyes, showing an attitude of resting.

Two jailers from Qingliang Prefecture brought Ren Ye to the cell door.

"You bastard, are you still in the mood to sleep? Kneel down and salute, to meet my prince!" The jailer shouted outside the fence.

Lu Long sat where he was, motionless.

Ren Ye waved at the jailer and looked down at Lu Long: "Boss, do you want to chat for a while?"

Lu Long leaned against the cold wall and sneered, "What can I talk to you about, you despicable villain who sneaked in and plotted against me?"

"Boss Lu is really tough. Even though he's in prison, he still speaks so confidently?" Huang Wei replied with his hands behind his back.

Lu Long still closed his eyes and said briefly: "Zhu Zigui, I really underestimate you... Haha, I never thought that after a lifetime of robbing families, you would be plotted against by a playboy. You are very insidious. "

"No need to compliment me. I have been sinister for a long time. Boss Lu, how about writing a letter to your family? Tell them about your recent situation so that you can suffer less." Ren Ye replied with a calm expression.

"Write a letter? Hahahaha!" Lu Long laughed and said, "Are you talking nonsense? Zhu Zigui, Zhu Zigui... you think that if you arrest me, this Qingliang Mansion trade issue will be solved Well! I only have 5,000 troops in the mountains, so why do I need Qingliang Mansion to set up four armory factories for me? Sneak attack on me, haha!”

Ren Ye frowned and looked at him without saying a word.

"The one who wants to puppet Qingliang Mansion is the leader of Qianli Green Camp, and behind him is the Nanjiang Lich Kingdom." Lu Long slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Ren Ye sharply: "You are too arrogant to act like this. This will definitely touch the bottom line of Qianli Green Camp. As long as I stay here, you will not be able to open trade. The bandits outside are blocking the road. I want to see how your hundreds of thousands of people will eat!"

"Let me tell you again, even if Qianli Green Camp is within the boundaries of Jingshan, it has to rely on me to act. I am one of theirs. What you are offending is not the Jingshan family, but Qianlilu. All the bandits." Lu Long said one word at a time: "Zhu Zigui, if you don't kneel down and kowtow to me all the way out of Qingliang Mansion, then I won't leave, haha."

Ren also stared at him: "What Master Lu means is that you alone have the final say whether there will be chaos in southern Xinjiang?"

"I've been a bandit for half my life, how could it be in vain?"

"Okay, okay." Ren Ye narrowed his eyes and nodded, and didn't say another word to him.

After leaving the dungeon, Huang Wei frowned and said: "He is very confident, but what he said is consistent with logic. He should not be pretending. If Jingshan doesn't talk to us and only blocks the trade route... then This is where things get awkward. The longer we delay, the harder it will be.”

Ren Ye also stopped and spoke concisely: "Brother Huang, you know, I have worked at the border for so many years, what kind of truth have I summarized?"

"what?"

"People, don't take yourself too seriously. There are necessary things in this world, but there are definitely no necessary people." Ren Ye's eyes gleamed: "From today on, I will do nothing. I will just wait and see who can't hold back first."

After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.

……

In southern Xinjiang, Meishan County, in a clean and elegant courtyard, the melodious sound of the piano floats.

In the front hall, the sandalwood incense was curling, and a man in a green shirt was sitting cross-legged and playing the zither. His movements were graceful and slow, but his body was hidden by the curtain in front, so his face could not be seen clearly.

Outside the curtain, a lean man stood quietly, not daring to disturb him.

After a long time, the sound of the piano slowly disappeared and the song ended.

The man in green shirt slowly raised his head and asked softly, "Any news from Jingshan?"

"Yes, Dragon Head." The lean man raised his arm and when his wrist shook, a letter floated into the curtain.

The dragon head, who was wearing a green shirt and had a slightly slim body, reached out to take the letter and glanced at it roughly.

The thin man pondered for a while, then took the initiative to speak: "Prince Huai arrested Lu Long and Wang Xinggui. This is an act of contempt for our Qianli Green Camp. He must be severely punished!"

After a long time, Longshou put down the letter, raised his head and said: "After the break between Qingliang Mansion and Daqian, Xiao Huaiwang's caravan can only go south. If...he was not forced to hurry, how could he kidnap Lu Long and Wang Xinggui? If this person is really that stupid, there is no way he can defeat Da Gan's 50,000 soldiers..."

The lean man was startled when he heard this.

"It's not that Prince Huai despises our Southern Border Green Forest, but that Lu Long is too greedy." The Dragon Head picked up the teacup and commented lightly: "Lu Long wants to use this incident to seek personal gain."

When the lean man heard this, he didn't respond.

After taking a sip of tea, Longshou said softly: "I am waiting for news from Master. I may leave Southern Xinjiang for a while. Before leaving, I must resolve the trade issue in Qingliang Mansion."

"Longshou, what do you mean...?"

"Lu Long and Wang Xinggui were kidnapped. On the Jingshan Mountain, there is only that... that...!"

"The third in command is Fatty Wu." The thin man reminded.

"Yes, Fatty Wu. Can he solve this matter?" Dragon Head asked.

"Fat Wu is stupid, drunk and lustful, and has no ability." The lean man thought for a while: "If we let him go to Qingliang Mansion to ask for someone, I'm afraid...!"

"Go to Jingshan, meet Fatty Wu, and have a chat with him. If he has the ability to solve this problem, send him to Qingliang Prefecture; if not, you go to Qingliang Prefecture." The Dragon Head thought for a moment and said, "In this matter, we must not let the little King Huai feel that his resistance has been effective; nor can we force him too hard; the most important thing is to make him obedient and achieve our goal."

When the thin man heard this, he instantly felt that he was in big trouble.

First of all, the behavior of this little King Huai is different from what the outside world has said. He does things without any rules or worries. He is a stupid young man who can do whatever he wants. In a hurry, he even dared to kidnap Lu Long and Wang Xinggui in Jingshan.

Secondly, several lives have been lost in Qingliang Prefecture and Jingshan. The two sides are now on the verge of a war and have deep hatred. If he rashly enters a first-level small secret realm, his magical powers will be suppressed.

If you don't pay attention, don't you have to keep company with Grandpa Lu and Master Wang? !

Moreover, if this matter is not handled well and the dragon head is blamed, it will be a big trouble.

This job... is a terrible job, not easy to do.

However, the thin man did not dare to refute him directly, and only tried his best to say: "I understand."

"Go!"

After he finished speaking, the thin man left.

Inside the curtain, the dragon head in green let out a long breath, his eyes looking expectant, and he murmured excitedly, "Where is the migration site?"
