Chapter 33: The Dark Tide

The third son now has a little urge to go violent, although Wang Guanlan's words are a little irritable, but the words are not irritable, and they are easy to understand, and his head turns slightly, it is really like this, but if you let him be soft now, it is impossible, and then look at Wang Guanlan's back of leaving, he stomped his foot hatefully, glared at Wang Guanchao beside him fiercely, but vented all his dissatisfaction to him.

Wang Guanchao is not a fool, he shivered violently, did not dare to look at the third prince again, lowered his head in mockery, but scolded in his heart, "You guy can't fight Wang Guanlan, but you want to send the fire to me, thinking that I am a bully?!!."

"Third brother, why bother!!" At this moment, the figure of the fourth son appeared, and he still looked leisurely, "The old fourteenth, this kid is a little cheap, in fact, there are no people, why bother to lose his temper with him, they are all their own brothers, otherwise, tonight I set up a table in the drunken fairy building, and called the old fourteen, let's have a good drink, how about it?!"

"Forget it, I'm stupid, but I won't bow my head to this kid!" The third son said with a cold face, "It's the fourth, you have to be careful, this kid is a troublemaker, and he is too close, if it affects you in the future, don't blame your third brother for not reminding you!!" After finishing speaking, he calmly put on a face and left with people, leaving only the fourth son to sigh helplessly, although they are all his own brothers, but this kind of thing is not something he can meddle in if he wants to, Wang Guanlan and the third son have a deep grudge, I only hope that my third brother can endure the surname, and stop doing stupid things that stimulate Wang Guanlan.

......

......

"What are you talking about, Wang Guanlan has been studying in the academy recently?!"

"Yes, my lord, after returning to Yicheng from Nanhua City, Wang Guanlan has been studying in the academy, and it seems that he really intends to take the exam next year!"

In the county government of Yicheng, the county commander Yao Yifei touched the short beard under his chin and walked back and forth in the house, "Wang Guanlan is unruly, and he humiliated Mr. Zhou in Longscale Harbor, and even made the prince very unhappy, and the order to win over Wang Guanlan has been invalidated, it's a pity!"

"Although Wang Guanlan is a little rebellious, his style of action is still very measured, and he is also a rare talent, it is a pity to give up recruiting for such a trivial matter!" Shao Yuankang stood beside Yao Yifei, showing pity, "Moreover, with Wang Guanlan's surname, he shouldn't do this kind of offending thing for no reason!"

"He may be playing!" Yao Yifei shook his head and said, "You also know that the attitude of the four different surnames towards the battle of Daqi has always been out of the way, Wang Guanlan is doing this, it is very likely that he is dissociating himself from the relationship, and he is also showing the world that his position is the same as that of Ning Wangfu, Mr. Zhou, just ran headlong, it can only be regarded as his bad luck!"

"So, we don't need to contact Wang Guanlan anymore?!"

"It's better to have more than one thing, just keep the previous relationship!" Yao Yifei sighed lightly, "A year later is the time to try, a year and a half later is the time for the opening of the Five Poisons Secret Realm, the former one is fine, but the latter one is the middle of the relationship, with Wang Guanlan's current strength, he will inevitably become one of the candidates for Ning Wangfu to enter the Five Poisons Secret Realm, at this time, it is not good for the prince to have a stiff fight, I think, with the wisdom of the prince, he will not fail to see this!"

"Five Poisons Secret Realm, Lu Ding, my lord, look, will this rumor be true?!"

"Groundless, not necessarily without a cause, Lu Ding is very important, this meeting of the Five Poisons Secret Realm will inevitably be turbulent, it will never be as calm as before, our Yicheng is the closest county town to the entrance of the Five Poisons Secret Realm, the geographical location is very important, Yuankang, make all preparations, start preparing now, so as not to be caught off guard when you get it, in addition, prepare some gifts for Wang Guanlan!"

"Yes, sir!"

......

......

"Childe, Yao County Commander has sent a lot of gifts here, saying that it is to congratulate Childe on his great use!" In the manor of Wang Guanlan of Fengming Valley, Wang Qing looked at Wang Guanlan with a cautious gaze, and his expression was a little hesitant.

"Okay, thank you for me, Lord County!" Wang Guanlan was dressed in a coarse cloth robe, sitting at the table, holding a book in his hand, and reading softly, "Just prepare some return gifts and send them over, don't say anything else!"

"Yes, Childe!" Wang Qing nodded in response, he also knew that his master was now in a different position, with a clear title of the Great Qi Dynasty, even if he didn't talk about his identity in the Ning Palace, above the status, he was not under the county honor, and even the county lord had to salute when he saw him, so in his opinion, it was a matter of course for the county lord to give a gift to Wang Guanlan.

"Yao Yifei, he is a smart person, much better than that bullshit Mr. Zhou, and I don't know why he was assigned to such a remote place!" Wang Qing walked out of the study and closed the door, Wang Guanlan gently put down the book in his hand and smiled, " There is still a year and a half, it is the time for the opening of the Five Poisons Secret Realm, in this year and a half, no matter who it is, they don't want to make extraneous branches, everyone maintains restraint and stability, especially in such a sensitive area as Yicheng, hehe, I didn't know before, from Yicheng to the entrance of the Five Poisons Secret Realm, but it is only a hundred and twenty miles away, damn, if it weren't for the rumors of what Lu Ding, Lao Tzu would have set up a big five-element array in this place, and then buy the road money, and those who went in would have received it, and those who came out would have made a fortune!!”

"Childe, Luo Han asks to see!" Just when Wang Guanlan was thinking about it, Luo Han's voice suddenly sounded outside.

"Come in!" Wang Guanlan said, "What's wrong, come to me at this time?!"

"Childe, there are some unidentified people who have entered Yicheng!" After Luo Han came in, there was a slight look of surprise on his face.

"Unidentified people enter Yicheng?!" Wang Guanlan raised his eyebrows, there are some problems with this, you know, although Yicheng is remote, but because of the appearance of anchovy grass, there is an endless stream of merchants from all over the country, and it is also close to the Nushui River, boats come and go, and there are many people entering every day, what is an unidentified person?

"They say that they are businessmen, but their temperament and demeanor are not like businessmen, and they don't do business after they come, but they just buy some things with a symbolic surname, and they live in the city, and our people don't care about it, but in the past few days, many such people have come one after another, and the number of guests living in the inns in the city has also increased significantly, so ......!"

"So you're coming to me, Luo Han, don't care about him, I'm not the county commander of Yicheng, in this Yicheng, I just have some industry, no matter what these people do, what is the purpose of coming to Yicheng, as long as their purpose is not me, don't provoke me, I won't care!" Wang Guanlan said to Luo Han, "Don't care, just stare at them quietly!"

"Yes, Childe!" Luo Han seemed a little hesitant, the three states in the southwest are all the territory of Ning Wangfu, the county order of Yicheng is only a nominal official, and there is not much real power, it can be said that everything in Yicheng is firmly in the hands of Ning Wangfu, and the authority of Ning Wangfu in Yicheng is much greater than that of the county government, but this prince doesn't seem to see it that way, if it is other princes, he can persuade him, but after following Wang Guanlan's side for so long, he can also see that this prince is a master with a bad stomach, and he can't persuade him, so he has to leave。

"The identity is unknown, alas, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, I want to see what tricks you want to play in Yicheng!!" Wang Guanlan sighed softly, and then put his eyes on the scroll in his hand!

......

......

"Master, this is Yicheng, it seems to be very different from what I imagined, why is it so depressed?!"

"Since Wang Guanlan came, a fire burned all the anchovy grass, this Yicheng started with anchovy grass, without anchovy grass, of course it can't prosper!"

In an inn in Yicheng, a caravan of more than ten people moved in in the evening, this caravan was obviously very powerful, and directly chartered a small courtyard, and the group looked well-trained, and after settling down, they each returned to their residences, leaving only the two leaders to talk in the wing room in the courtyard.

Among the two people, the one called "Ye" was a middle-aged man, strong and tall, with two straight and hard lips, while the man bowing in front of him was much younger and more "delicate", with a somewhat pale complexion, a thin body, and a thin and soft voice.

"I've also heard of this Wang Guanlan, in Daqi, he is now very famous, and it is said that he fought with Nurhachi and became a draw, not to be underestimated!!"

"Hmph, Nurhachi, it's just a martial artist!" The sturdy man sneered, "I can't do a small thing well, I actually let Junsheng die, I missed a big thing, and after I go back, I will definitely be punished!"

"Yes, yes, how can he be compared to Ye!" the young man said carelessly, "But, Master, it is too risky for you to come to Yicheng in person this time!"

"Risky?What danger can there be here?Lord is here to do business, aren't you Central Plains people reasonable??," the sturdy man said with a glance at the young man.

"Yes, yes, what the master said is right, we are here to do business, not to cause trouble, as long as there is no legitimate reason, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't control us!"
