Volume 1 Yangcheng Shaojie Chapter 43 Crossing the River in White
Unlike the scorching heat of Yangguan Town, the wind on the river was very cold, making Lan and Shen feel cold even if they stayed in the cabin.
"Shhh...... This river wind is a bit strong! Shen Mengze's upper and lower teeth trembled, and while trembling and talking, he wrapped the broken blanket given by the boatman on his body tightly.
"It's a little cold." Young Master Lan echoed while cocking Erlang's legs and humming a little tune. Nonsense, what kind of character our Young Master Lan is--flesh martial spirit! The existence of bugs in the heaven and earth of the original plane will be afraid of this cold wind?!
It's a pity that our Hallym University scholars are not so good. Lan Wang also seemed to notice this problem, and hurriedly took out a blanket from his bag and threw it to Shen Hanlin: "Look at you shivering from the cold, hurry up and add another layer!" β
He actually thought it was very cold on the riverβit was summer, but the temperature was surprisingly low, and the wind was frighteningly strong. As a doctor, Lan Wang certainly knew that Shen Hanlin's physical condition at this time could not stand the bumps in the journey, especially that he could not get cold, and that acupuncture and decoction could not be broken. It stands to reason that Young Master Lan was able to forcibly subdue Shen Hanlin as the attending doctor and make him give up going to Jiangnan.
However, when he set off, Lan Wang had already noticed Shen Mengze's eyes--- which was a kind of anger that was hidden very deeply, but could explode at any time. If it was in normal times, this kind of anger would be suppressed, and Shen Hanlin's eyes showed a kind of indifference and peace. But today is different, Young Master Lan read a message from Shen Mengze's eyes: no one can stop him from going to Jiangnan today to find trouble with the Hong family, and whoever stands in his way will tear him apart.
Since this is the case, Lan Wang naturally can't stop it anymore. Although he was still confident in his force value, who would have nothing to do with a man who was bent on revenge?
Although Young Master Lan himself didn't feel that Shen Hanlin had any true feelings for his wife Jiang in this plane--- from the perspective of his soul, he and Jiang had just met! But maybe it was out of the instinct of a male animal, or maybe it was because he inherited the memory of the original owner and resonated with the original owner emotionally, or it was simply offended and felt unhappy, Shen Hanlin planned to "cross the river in white" with our young master Lan and go to Jiangnan Town to find out the bad luck of the Hong family.
"'Crossing the river in white'? How did I get here? Hey, it's a coincidence, Shen Hanlin and I are both wearing white clothes today! β
"I just don't know how much blood will be stained on this freshly washed pure white clothes this time!"
Shen Hanlin, who was trembling inside the blanket of black and white, naturally would not know the inner drama of Young Master Lan who was sitting opposite him.
After a short while, the biting river breeze gradually faded, and the warm summer sun in the middle reaches of the river once again bloomed his warm smile on the wooden boat on which the traverser was riding. Lan Wang took this opportunity to lift the curtain of the canopy and look out, and a bustling riverside town jumped into view.
The flow of people at the wharf here is much more than what Lan Wang saw at the ferry next to the Huangjia Boat Company a few days ago. To the left of the wharf, the whole part of the town by the river is full of rows of shops and streets, and the flower boats and fishing boats on the water are parked one layer after another. The sound of gongs and drums, the shouts of the shopkeepers, and the cheers of the first customers form a wonderful sonata of a bustling market.
"Huh? We seem to have arrived? Shen Hanlin didn't feel cold at this time, he had been staring outside for a long time like Lan Wang just now.
"yes, we're here." Lan Wang's voice carried a hint of his usual indifference.
"It seems that the territory of the Hong family in Jiangnan is much more prosperous than our Yangguan Town! This is a big mistake! But it doesn't matter, the first purpose of you and I is here is to correct this ridiculous mistake! Young Master Lan's face showed a smile that seemed to have succeeded in the conspiracy.
When Shen Mengze heard this, his spirit was also lifted, and the whole person became excited: "That's right, this time the two of us are Sun Monkey who got into the belly of Princess Iron Fan, and directly gave these XX people a center to bloom!" β
......
When the two of them went ashore, Lan Wang went straight in: "Old Shen, do you know where the casino here is?" β
"How do I know?" Shen Hanlin was directly asked by this sentence, but he quickly came back to his senses, "No, no, wait a minute!" Let me think about it...... It seems that the original owner of my current body has been to Jiangnan Town before, and has been here more than once! Casino Casino, where is the casino ......"
Shen Hanlin patted his head vigorously like an old boy who had failed to pass the imperial examination more than a dozen times, so that he could dig out the important information hidden in the depths of his memory: "Aha! I remembered that I just had to follow this avenue by the river and go south until I saw a high-end brothel called Mengyinglou, and then turn left and walk through three intersections to get there! It is the largest gambling house in the entire Jiangnan Town, and it is the top industry of the Jiangnan Hong family! β
"Yo, I didn't see it, you sour literati have a good memory! The sense of direction is also okay" Lan Wang still didn't forget to joke.
"Okay, okay, I can remember the place, don't be sluggish, I'll lead the way, let's hurry over, otherwise it won't be good to let the Hong family's eyeliner bite for a while!" Although Shen Hanlin didn't care, he still couldn't hide the slight nervousness in his heart.
"Hahahaha, let's go and live happily in the gold cave opened by the first big snake in Jiangnan Province!" Young Master Lan laughed like the Second Ancestor.
......
In Yangguan Town, Jiangbei, in the general's yamen north of the town, Lan Fengshan was sitting upright with a serious face, listening to the report of a subordinate in front of him.
β...... It is true that the eldest young master did arrive in Jiangnan Town, and he was accompanied by the master of the Shen family. Our brothers in Jiangnan have sent a message that they have mobilized all their manpower to closely monitor the movements of the Hong family, and at the same time secretly protect the young master. β
"Oh, my son...... It's really worry-free! Lan Fengshan slammed his fist on the table in front of him, "I said that I wanted to go through the experience, but I didn't let him go directly to the enemy's door to go through the training!" It's really unbelievable! β
However, the general with a dignified face suddenly changed his words again: "But it's okay to do this, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and it is not a good thing to beat the Hong family well and make them dare not make a mistake!" β
"Tell the brothers to keep an eye on them, and mobilize all the men, but without an order, you must not act rashly!"
"Yes, my subordinates understand!"
