Chapter Thirty-Eight: Take Her Away
Twilight slowly recedes as the sun sets, and night begins to cover the land. Han Baobao and Hua Mantang rode their horses and stopped on the path outside Kushui Town.
"Where are we staying?" Hua Mantang jumped off his horse, looked at Han Baobao behind him and asked.
"I have an uncle who happens to have some property here, so let's live there." Han Baobao replied, looking at the town in the distance that was gradually swallowed by darkness, and the expression on his face was very confused.
Hua Mantang looked at Han Baobao who dismounted, a little surprised, he rarely saw this calm companion distracted, after a while, after Han Baobao calmed down, he asked, "The first team of the Yuanzi Brigade has arrived, do you want to meet with them?" β
"No need, let them go to that inn, if something happens to that one named Leon." Han Baobao muttered to himself, "Our black man died in vain." β
"I see." At the mention of the dead Yu Liyan, Hua Mantang nodded silently and replied in a low voice.
The two quietly led the horse, and in the dark night, led the horse into the town of Bitter Water.
In the brightly lit inn, the guys cleaned up the tables and chairs that had been broken during the day, and the outlaws who lived in the inn also seemed to smell something unusual, and they all converged one by one, no longer bustling in the past, they were all honest.
Feng Siniang pushed Li Ang's room open, her face was very happy, and she threw a bag of money to Li Ang, who was playing chess with Huang Quan.
"Boss Wind..." Untied the money bag, Li Ang looked at the dozens of gold baht inside, and his face was puzzled.
"Thanks to you, the old lady has made a lot of money." Feng Siniang sat down in the center of the two with a smile, poured a glass of wine for herself, and drank it.
"Thanks to me?" Li Ang heard it strangely, and couldn't help but look at Feng Siniang.
"If you didn't ask the old lady to make a move, why would the fight be so lively today." Feng Siniang stared at Li Ang and laughed, "Speaking of which, Li Daguan is really not a good product, the old lady originally wanted to knock him and the one surnamed Xu for a hundred gold baht, but who would have thought that he would find the old lady to partner with that dead ghost surnamed Xu." β
"Oh!" Li Ang heard Feng Siniang's smug tone, turned his head to stare at Feng Siniang and asked, "How do you say it?" β
"When he asked me to find the two of them to pay for it, he offered this price." Feng Siniang flipped her hand and laughed, "A whole thousand gold baht, he paid six hundred, and the surname Xu was four hundred, but you didn't see it, when he paid the money, he pretended to be like a dead father and didn't know how wonderful it was, the funniest thing was that the one surnamed Xu was cheated, and he felt that he had taken advantage of it, if he turned around and let him know that Li Daguan would take back the six hundred gold baht when he turned his ass, I don't know what it would be like." β
"If you hadn't reminded the old lady, those broken tables and stools wouldn't be worth so much gold baht." Feng Siniang looked at Li Ang, smiled lightly and said, "The old lady is not a person without conscience, those are for you." β
"Then thank you Boss Feng." Li Ang put away the bag of gold baht, smiled at Feng Siniang, and saw that Feng Siniang was stunned.
"I can't see it, you're usually as cold as a knife, but you look pretty good when you laugh." Feng Siniang stared at Li Ang's face, and suddenly covered her mouth and smiled.
When Li Ang heard Feng Siniang's words, he couldn't help blushing, he was so big, and he had never been said by a woman that he smiled well.
"You're blushing." Feng Siniang looked at the blush on Li Ang's face, and smiled even more happily, "The old lady can't stand it, so let's go first!" With that, Feng Siniang got up like the wind and walked out of the room, leaving only the fragrance of her daughter's house.
"I didn't think you'd be shy?" Huang Quan, who had been silent, didn't look at Li Ang strangely until Feng Siniang left, shaking his head, he couldn't imagine that the tough and cold Li Ang actually had such a 'gentle' side.
"I'm justβ" Li Ang wanted to explain, but when he thought of Huang Quan's mouth, he finally closed his mouth and didn't say anything, so as not to be misinterpreted, and the more he described, the darker it became.
"I lost." Glancing at the unfinished chess game, Li Ang looked at Huang Quan and said, then shook his head, "When you do it in the future, remember not to be too greedy." β
"It's really boring to be seen through by you again." Huang Quan sighed and messed up the chessboard, in the past half a month, he had already regarded the young man who looked like a general as half a confidant and half a disciple.
"That's what you've done?" Putting away the chessboard, Huang Quan poured a cup of tea for himself, and suddenly asked.
"Someone will check it out for me." Li Ang also poured himself a cup of tea, and the brocade guards who were following him had been discovered by him since the first day, and he had deliberately taken them around for six days, presumably the 'Li Daguanren' must have seen the five places where the suspicious array was placed.
"You're going to work with Jinyiwei." Huang Quan listened, drank the tea in the cup, frowned and asked.
"No intelligence, no manpower, there's only so much I can do." Li Ang's voice deepened, "The information that the Zhenfu Division gave to the tiger and leopard rider is on a business trip, and I don't believe their people. β
"Jinyiwei and the people in Dongchang are too weird, I don't know what they want to do, and I can't figure out which one to cooperate with." Leon put down his teacup, stood up, and looked out the window at the pitch black night.
"East Factory?" Huang Quan's brows furrowed even tighter, "How do you know that the surname Xu is from Dongchang." β
"You said that the Zhenfu Division has always been the largest of the three secret agent divisions, and has never looked down on Jinyiwei and Dongchang, if the person surnamed Xu is a person from the Zhenfu Division, how can he be polite to Jinyiwei, and it is rumored that Jinyiwei and Dongchang have always liked to tear each other down, look at the means of Li Daguan's calculation surnamed Xu, the identity of the surname Xu is inseparable." Li Ang said slowly.
"What are you going to do next?" Huang Quan put down the teacup and walked over to Li Ang.
"Wait, wait for reinforcements." Li Ang's pupils constricted, "Jin Yiwei must have sent my news back to Beiting, I don't believe that the generals above will make any moves." β
"The generals of Great Qin have always been eager to repay them." Huang Quan muttered to himself, his voice low, "It looks like Bitterwater Town is not going to be peaceful. β
"You're worried about Boss Wind." Li Ang looked at Huang Quan, whose face was a little ugly, and thought of Feng Siniang's three-point gorgeous and seven-point pretty face, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you, Boss Feng?" β
"I promised to take good care of her alone." Huang Quan muttered to himself and replied, "As for who he is, I can't tell you. β
"I understand." Li Ang nodded, everyone has a past, they have secrets, and there are some things that cannot be told until death.
"Have you ever thought about letting Boss Feng get out of here?" Li Ang suddenly looked at Huang Quan and said, "No matter how fierce and powerful she is, she is still a woman, do you want to watch her open a black shop in this place for a lifetime." β
"I don't think I'm smiling, I'm just having fun."
Listening to Li Ang's words, Huang Quan was stunned, he had never thought about this problem, he promised the general to take care of his daughter and make her happy, but all this time, he didn't seem to pay attention to whether she was really happy.
"What an idiot I'm in." Huang Quan muttered to himself, slumped into his chair, and buried his head in it. How can there be a girl in this world who likes to open a black shop and hang out with a bunch of villains and outlaws every day.
"Let's take the wind boss away, and before this game of chess starts, go." Li Ang's face gradually became cold, "If you are in the game, if you still think about staying out of the matter, you will only die faster, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible." With that, Leon walked out of the room.
