Chapter 1405 Conversation

"Horses and heroes complement each other." He Lingchuan cupped his fists at him and said, "General, be careful on the road."

The two said goodbye, and General Chongwu set off eastward with his men and the recovered tribute.

After his team disappeared around the corner, He Lingchuan returned to his seat and saw Dong Rui slowly sitting down and ordering a large bowl of salty wheat paste.

He almost vomited it out after taking only one bite: "I'll go, what the hell is this? It's as sticky as snot!"

He Lingchuan had just finished the last half of the bowl: "If you can speak, speak more."

"He's leaving now?" Dong Rui pointed to the direction where General Chongwu disappeared. "I thought he would catch you and ask questions."

"Why are you asking me? What does the theft of the tribute gift have to do with me?" He Lingchuan raised his hand and asked the waiter for a bowl of braised beef noodles, but with more spicy food. "I ate too much wine and Lao BaJiao slept here. He suspected No one should doubt me."

"But you're right, General Chongwu left so quickly." While waiting, He Lingchuan took two sips of tea to rinse his mouth. "Either he wanted to fight back, or there was something really wrong with these teams in the inn. He doesn't want to get involved."

In his opinion, the second possibility is greater.

General Chongwu has already recovered his lost tribute gift and is in a hurry. It's not worth spending too much time here.

In the nearly 200 years since Yaoguo was founded, there have been many secrets and strange things in the upper class circles, and "outsiders" like General Chongwu may feel better not to get involved.

In any case, He Lingchuan passed this level.

General Chongwu never expected that the person behind the scenes would steal his tribute, but the target would be Xue Zongwu who was dozens of miles away!

If you guess the motive wrong, everything else will be wrong.

While they were talking, Wang Fubao also came out. He said hello to his immediate boss before sneaking out of the inn to buy breakfast. He couldn't swallow the salty wheat paste in this inn.

Dong Rui looked at him and suddenly remembered something:

"By the way, why don't you just let him throw away the things casually, but why do you have to bring them specially to give away?"

In a large audience, he could only ask vaguely, but He Lingchuan understood.

General Chongwu suddenly appeared last night and hindered He Lingchuan's actions, so Wang Fubao robbed his tribute and sent it specially to the deserted village to frame the two thieves.

Wang Fubao was hiding and escaping, and Dong Rui acted as a driver to pick him up. He knew that the process was not easy, and he was almost arrested several times.

Why is this so thankless? Just throw the tribute into the wasteland or the big lake, and that's it.

Beef noodles are here.

He Lingchuan sucked a noodle without raising his head: "That's just a backup plan, just in case of trouble. You will know it when you use it."

He didn't talk much, and Dong Rui didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, He Lingchuan rarely does useless work.

The two of them had just finished eating when Fan Shuang also got up. He looked like he was suffering from a hangover and was still a little unsteady when he walked.

"Brother Fan, come and have dinner!" He Lingchuan said with a smile on his face, "General Chongwu has already set off. By the way, I heard that there are immortal ruins in the western suburbs of Zhuo'er. I want to visit today. Let's set off on our journey tomorrow."

Yuxian County, Tongli Soup House.

This soup house is not that soup house. It does not specialize in noodle soup. It is a hot spring inn.

Yuxian County is a famous hot spring town. Legend has it that you can dig out a hot spring by digging three feet into the ground with a pickaxe.

The Weng brothers have been soaking in the Tongli soup restaurant all day long.

The private courtyard they rented was more than five times more expensive than the inn they had stayed in before, but it had a beautiful environment and private conversations. Of course, it also provided fine wine, food, noodles and soup.

The two of them had just accomplished something big and had narrowly escaped death, so they both wanted to enjoy it.

After drinking and blowing for half the night, the two of them lay in the steaming yard and fell asleep.

After sleeping, it was noon.

As if there was a mosquito buzzing in his ear, Weng Xing smacked his lips a few times and subconsciously slapped himself.

Bang, woke up.

He opened his eyes drowsily and did not see the mosquito blood on his palm, but there was indeed something dark in front of him.

His eyes slowly focused, and he saw clearly that it was a person.

A man wearing a black armor and a dragon-headed mask, sitting on a big rock next to a hot spring.

Weng Xing thought he was dazzled and rubbed his eyes. Yes, it was him!

"Emperor Jiuyou!" Weng Xing jumped up, and his sleepiness was driven out of the Nine Heavens with a whip, "You, you... why are you here?"

The man in black armor raised his finger and hissed slightly.

This silly boy has a really loud voice. If he hadn't set up a soundproof barrier in advance, this scream could be heard in several nearby courtyards.

"Oh!" Weng Xing shrank his neck and lowered his voice, "Be secretive! Why are you here?"

Weng Su also woke up and sat up slowly: "What's going on? What's the ghost's name...it's you!"

He jumped up and got up.

Previously, life and death were at stake in Xiaotao Mountain Villa, and the three of them fought side by side. Now in this quiet courtyard, the Weng brothers were extremely cautious when facing Emperor Jiuyou, and they didn't know where to put their hands.

This is Emperor Jiuyou!

They had talked about the Nine Nether Emperor countless times throughout the day.

Weng Xing was still thinking about when we would meet again. As a result, they showed up today and caught them off guard.

They were a little embarrassed to face this person after they were out of danger.

What's the point of shamelessly using someone else's name to seek revenge, only to be saved by the real owner?

Alas, that's it for now, let's get dressed first.

The two of them had been drinking, eating meat and bathing in the soup. They had exposed their bellies and backs, which was extremely indecent.

"You two are quite kind to yourselves." He Lingchuan looked around and saw that the environment was pretty good. "Did you let anything slip while drinking?"

"No, no." Weng Su closed his shirt and tightened his belt. "Let's set up the barrier first before drinking to our heart's content, so that outsiders won't hear our nonsense."

They were people in the martial arts world, and they knew that walls had ears, so they wouldn't make such a mistake.

They could only keep the killing of Xue Shouwu a secret, and not let anyone know.

He originally wanted to find two girls to massage his shoulders and back, but his brother was injured and couldn't do it, so he had to give up, which saved him the risk of letting anything slip.

"Name?"

"Ah?" Weng Su was stunned by the incoherent words before he realized, "My name is Weng Su, and my brother's name is Weng Xing."

They didn't think much about why the Nine Nether Emperor could find them.

Anyway, he has great magical powers.

The black-armored man was calm: "Why did you use my name to assassinate Xue Zongwu?"

The wing suits he gave to the two were painted with chasing bee eggs, so the two brothers could be tracked within hundreds of miles.

The two brothers looked at each other: "We are also eliminating violence and protecting the good, and besides, your name is big enough and scary enough."

If you want to start a rebellion, you must use a false name.

"Why do you want to kill Xue Zongwu?" He Lingchuan certainly knew that Xue Zongwu had enemies all over the world, but no matter how much he hated him, how many people really dared to do it? The fact that the two brothers could take action was remarkable in itself. "What deep hatred does he have with you?"

"He killed our brother Tu Yuanhong."

"Your brother?" He Lingchuan looked them up and down, "Different surnames?"

Tu Yuanhong?

The mirror in his arms called over: "Hey, hey, it can't be that Tu Yuanhong? It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

Lingshan originally arranged an informant for He Lingchuan, who was proficient in Yaoguo domestic affairs and knew all the grievances and entanglements in the capital. Unfortunately, before He Lingchuan could find him, he was killed by Xue Zongwu.

This informant was Tu Yuanhong.

"We are sworn brothers of different surnames." Weng Su said solemnly, "Brother Tu has been very kind to us. Xue the dog thief killed him, so of course we have to avenge Brother Tu!"

He Lingchuan confirmed: "Tonglin Villa?"

"Yes! Brother Tu is the owner of Tonglin Villa. He saved our lives ten years ago. Eight years ago, my mother was killed by someone when we were away from home. It was Brother Tu who buried my mother and tracked down the murderer with all his heart and soul. We are grateful for his kindness, so we became sworn brothers."

They talked about the past.

He Lingchuan asked a few questions and found that the Tu Yuanhong they were talking about was a big businessman with a wide range of friends. He also did a good business in Yaoguo and had dealt with people from all walks of life.

No wonder Lingshan originally wanted to introduce Tu Yuanhong to him. He was indeed a good informant.

It is said that the rich are unkind, but Tu Yuanhong is kind and generous, and has a very good relationship with people.

His cultivation is far inferior to that of the Weng brothers, but he is very smart in business. Among the three brothers, Tu Yuanhong always makes decisions, and Weng Su and Weng Xing are convinced and just do it.

After dealing with the Weng brothers tonight, He Lingchuan also knew why Tu Yuanhong wanted to be sworn brothers with these two fools.

Although they are a bit straightforward, their martial arts are really strong, at least not inferior to Qiu Hu.

After all, all-rounders like He Lingchuan are rare; some people are ignorant of the world, but they are born martial arts geniuses, and God has given them food - such as the Weng brothers.

As long as he uses people properly, Tu Yuanhong can accomplish many things.

As for why Xue Zongwu killed Tu Yuanhong, the Weng brothers couldn't explain it clearly. They are restless characters, traveling outside for nine months a year, and know nothing about Tu Yuanhong's business.

He Lingchuan thought that the reason why Tu Yuanhong was killed was either because he was acting as a spy in Lingshan and was accidentally discovered, or because he blocked Xue Zongwu's way to wealth, just like the Yaoguo branch of Yangshan Chamber of Commerce, which led to his death.

Tu Yuanhong was killed, so what about Tonglin Villa and other industries under his name? Was it annexed by Xue Zongwu, or...?

The Weng brothers finished speaking and bowed to He Lingchuan: "Great revenge has been taken, thank you benefactor!"

If it weren't for this person's action last night, they would not have been able to take revenge, but would have to sacrifice their own lives.

Weng Xing's eyes were full of curiosity: "You, are you really the Great Emperor Jiuyou?"

Two low laughs came from under the mask of the black armored man.

"Why, why did you come to Xiaotao Villa tonight?" Weng Xing swallowed his saliva. They are practitioners, and they shouldn't worship the man in front of them as a god like the villagers and fools. But Jiuyou came too coincidentally, and killed Xue Zongwu so neatly, the Weng brothers still had a deep respect for him in their hearts.

Anyone who can do what ordinary people cannot do is either a god or a hero.
