Chapter 376 - miser Xiang Yun
Seeing Xiang Yun"s miser att.i.tude, a sinister smile flashed across Xiang Jinglei"s eyes. It scared Xiang Yun so much that he hurriedly tightened his grip on his storage ring!"Big brother, you should be aware of your third brother"s situation. Father chased me out of my home and ran to the northwest border, that place where chickens don"t lay eggs and birds don"t p.o.o.p. It"s freezing cold, and things are scarce. I can"t even eat my fill or wear warm clothes. I still have dozens of people eating every day. I"m poor!"
Xiang Yun patted his tattered robes, his pitiful, poverty-stricken appearance as he lamented, "Ah, I"ve finally gotten some benefits from this with great difficulty. Big Brother, you"re the dignified commander-in-chief of Cold Mountain Pa.s.s. You don"t have to fight over food with a poor family like me, right?"
"Also, don"t look at this Gesun Trading Company"s tall and imposing buildings. They actually have very few treasures, and all of them were taken by that Dima to play with women. All that"s left is some rotten metal, and it"s not even enough to fill the gaps in Big Bro"s teeth. It"s better to just let this Bro live!"
Xiang Yun brandished the "heavy" storage ring in his hand. His ability to lie with his eyes open was no less than his ability back then, he had opened his mouth to speak.
Hearing this, Xiang Jinglei immediately beamed with anger. Pointing at Xiang Yun, he asked, "You kid, you"re poor?" Your Blue Wind City is getting more and more rich with every pa.s.sing day. The crown prince"s residence is almost as big as the Prince"s Mansion in Silver City, and yet you still cry about being poor? Right now, in the entire Northwest, who doesn"t know of your name, Qin Feng city, and the branches of the brothels under your name, all of them are almost at Dragon City! "
"Eh …" For a moment, Xiang Yun was left speechless. Without a doubt, it was Yue Jing who had greatly increased the fame of Qin Feng City, to the point where even his elder brother was aware of it.
"d.a.m.n. Big brother, how do you know this so well? You didn"t come to my Qin Feng City to visit the brothels, did you?"
"Bulls.h.i.t!" Stop interrupting me and get down to business. How much of the items in the storage ring should be taken out as military expenditures, you decide. ""Hey big brother, you can"t rob people while they"re still on fire! This is all because of me painstakingly infiltrating the trading company and earning my own money! "
Xiang Jinglei curled his lips and said: "Hmph, if it weren"t for you messing around in Tiger City and sneaking into the Gesun Trading Company to break my plans, following my plan, everything would still go smoothly and I might even be able to uncover more secrets. As for these treasures, you won"t be able to get any of them."
"You can"t let my "son not have a mother"!"
It was all for nothing. Besides, there"s always a first come first serve for everything. Didn"t I get these treasures first? Although Xiang Yun was arguing with himself, his voice was clearly lacking confidence.Hearing this, Xiang Jinglei looked at him expressionlessly, as if he was going to do whatever he wanted. In short, he had to be satisfied with what he had said.
Xiang Yun saw that this fellow was no longer prepared to be reasonable, and immediately lost his temper, turning his head and ignoring him. Xiang Yun saw that this fellow was no longer prepared to be reasonable, and immediately turned temper, turning his head away and ignoring him.The two brothers did not say anything and directly stepped forward. The scene immediately turned somewhat awkward!
At the same time, they looked over in alarm and saw a group of people rushing over from the south side of the street. The people leading were Dong Lin, Xiao Ling Er, and the c.u.mbersome Patrol Officer Si Lu Hongda, who was in the middle of two people!
Behind them followed a group of patrolling yamen runners, as well as the officers and brothers of the patrolling city guards. They were rapidly approaching them on horseback!
When they saw that the Gesun Trading Company had been razed to the ground and scattered all over the place, everyone was flabbergasted. Looking around at the surrounding buildings, they thought they had walked into the wrong place, but when they saw Xiang Yun standing next to the ruins, everyone hurriedly rushed forward!
"Captain Wei!"
"Brother Wei!"
"Wei Xiaobao!"The group of people immediately dismounted from their horses and rushed to Xiang Yun"s side, surrounding him. All of them looked at him with concerned gazes, examining him from top to bottom, as if they were afraid that he would lose an arm or a leg.
"Why are you guys here?" Xiang Yun looked at the crowd in shock. He had not expected them to all come rushing over.
"It"s a long story." Dong Lin sighed and explained tiredly.
With this question, Xiang Yun realized that everyone had split up into two groups in order to save him. They had been observing the movements of the Gesun Trading Company the entire way, riding their way to the camp to call for reinforcements.First, it was Dong Lin who went to the Yu Guo Cavalry Battalion to call for reinforcements. Xue Ba had already ordered the Yu Guo Cavalry Battalion to stay put. Dong Lin was just a patrol guard, how could he get reinforcements to come here?
As for Xiao Ling`er and her group, they were even more depressed. They observed the area outside the shop in the cold wind for a long time, but could not find any traces of Xiang Yun. Soon after, the sound of violent clouds energy fluctuations came from the roof of the shop; it was clear that someone was fighting an intense battle.
They had wanted to go in and rescue him, but the plan had just been agreed upon and the entire Gesun Trading Company was enveloped in a ma.s.sive array. They simply could not enter.The two groups of people had no choice but to meet in Diao Ya. After some discussion, they decided to go to the Department of Internal Affairs and ask Lu Hongda to come forward to the Gesun Trading Company as the Department of Internal Affairs!
What kind of person was Lu Hongda? He was deeply afraid of the barbarians, and upon hearing that he would go to the Gesun Trading Company or to the barbarians for help, he was immediately frightened to the point of almost falling down on the ground. He shook his head with all his might, unwilling to go even if he was beaten to death.
Everyone could not persuade him otherwise. As time pa.s.sed, Xiang Yun"s situation became more and more dangerous. In the end, it was Xiao Ling"Er who took action, a long sword in her hand pressing against Lu Hongda"s neck.
Faced with Lu Hongda"s scolding, Xiao Ling`er"s two big ears came forward and knocked on his head with her sword. Despite her unwillingness, Lu Hongda was dragged to the Gesun Trading Company due to the pain.
However, no one would have thought that after arriving at the Gesun Trading Company, it would turn into such a scene. The entire Gesun Trading Company had turned into a pile of rubble."Captain, what"s going on? Could it be an earthquake?" Dai Zi Qiang shrunk his neck as he looked at everything in front of him in shock.
Suddenly, someone retorted, "Earthquake my a.s.s! Your house was able to collapse a building from the earthquake! Everything else is fine?"
"This isn"t an earthquake, could it be that it was destroyed by a single slap?" Dai Zi Qiang shouted, unconvinced.In the end, Xiang Yun interrupted the crowd"s debate, "Now that the Gesun Trading Company has been annihilated, Ou Chengwen, Hu Rui, Qi Yushan and the rest are all out of the picture. This is the barbarian territory, let"s return to the Canton Court first before we discuss further matters."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
At this moment, a cry of agony sounded from the crowd. It was none other than Lu Hongda!"It"s over, it"s all over!" Lu Hongda sat on the ground and shouted with a deathly pale face.
Xiang Yun looked at Lu Hongda, puzzled, and said, "Master Lu, now that the greatest power of the barbarian race has been eliminated by us, you should be happy. Why are we finished?"
Upon hearing these words, the already despairing Lu Hongda immediately leapt up from the ground like a raging white pig and pointed at Xiang Yun as he yelled angrily."b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" "Wei Xiaobao, do you know that you have caused a disaster by killing Qi Yushan and Ou Chengwen? This time, you have already killed the barbarian people. If the barbarian inspection office were to investigate this matter, even if you had ten heads, it would not be enough to chop them off."
"It doesn"t matter if you die. What if you implicate us?"
Hearing these words, Xiang Yun"s face darkened as his tone turned ice-cold, "You"re afraid of death. No wonder the barbarians ignore you like this. It"s because you degrade yourself!"
"You, you, you have such guts! How dare you contradict me like this, do you really think that I can"t punish you? Just you wait, I"ll go report this to Commander Xue at the cavalry battalion. I"ll let Commander Xue take you as his punishment for your crimes and give him an explanation!"Saying this, Lu Hongda knew that he should not stay any longer in this place. He wanted to put aside his relationship with the barbarians and push Xiang Yun out to take over all the crimes before revenge came.
However, before he could mount the warhorse, a deep voice came from behind him.
"There"s no need to go, the commander of the Rider Battalion has already been changed. Tomorrow, there will also be a new Patrol Officer in the Patrol Office, you can scram now."
"Hmm?"
As these words were spoken, Lu Hongda who had mounted his warhorse and everyone else turned to look, only to discover that there was actually a tall and st.u.r.dy, heroic looking man dressed in dazzling armor standing beside Xiang Yun.Previously, everyone only had their eyes on Xiang Yun, worried that something might have happened to him and had completely forgotten about this person. Now that this person had spoken, everyone was shocked by his imposing aura and could tell with a single glance that he was no ordinary person!
The moment Lu Hongda saw Xiang Jinglei, he was slightly shocked. He felt that this person looked familiar, but when he thought of what he had said previously, he couldn"t contain his anger!
"How dare you, who are you to dare to talk about Commander Xue here and make rumors about him? Your heart can be destroyed!"
"Heh heh." Xiang Jinglei snorted coldly, glancing sideways at Xiang Yun, "I"m his elder brother!"
"Ugh …"With that said, everyone was stunned once again. They turned to look at the two of them, only to realize that the two of them looked really alike. Could they really be blood brothers?
After a brief moment of shock, Lu Hongda"s anger rose to a crescendo, "So you and Wei Xiaobao are brothers, no wonder you dare to spout nonsense here. You"re just a bunch of madmen who don"t know what"s good for themselves. When the time comes, we"ll capture you as well!"
Xiang Yun saw that Lu Hongda was actually scolding Xiang Jinglei, laughing in his heart. He was holding it in so much that his face was red, "Lord Lu, I advise you to do as my big brother says, otherwise you"ll regret it."
"Hmph, regret. I think you guys should be the ones regretting it. When I report to Commander Xue that the Lord Commander brought the Buddha Armoured Cavalry to take you down, I"ll see how you guys continue to be arrogant. At that time, even if you kneel and beg for mercy, don"t tell me you"re going to let you off!"
Lu Hongda had already mounted his warhorse, and for the first time in his life, he showed off the overbearing att.i.tude of a chief inspector!
In the face of Lu Hongda"s threats, Dong Lin, Dai Ziqiang, and the others revealed some fear. However, Xiang Yun and Xiang Jinglei did not even blink as they looked at Lu Hongda with an expression as if they were looking at a fool.In the end, Lu Hongda no longer threatened them and turned his horse to head straight towards the south city, to ride his horse to the camp and call for reinforcements!
However, Lu Hongda had just turned his horse!
Then, a wave of roars came from all directions, accompanied by a slight tremor in the earth. As the roars rolled in, the light from the fire illuminated the barbarian soldiers in all directions. They were surrounded by groups of barbarian soldiers."The Laws of the Heavens!"
Lu Hongda"s horse was shocked and it screamed in fear. It raised its front hooves and threw Lu Hongda, who was scared out of his wits, to the ground.
Lu Hongda was in so much pain that he wanted to die. He shouted in fear, "It"s over, it"s over! The barbarians are coming!"
