"He is a human being, at least everyone thinks he is a living person. The Gan family's caravan was able to escape from the swamp in the end. It is said that it was Manager Zhao who begged the young man for mercy, and the spider was able to help him."
The boy went a step further: "I also heard a detail that the token for entering and exiting the Demon's Nest Swamp was held by that young man. After leaving the swamp, he took it back."
The pass token is no longer in the hands of the Gan family? The eyes of the two heads of the family shone: "Where is this young man?"
"He must have been invited to Gan's house by Manager Zhao."
"Why is it Zhao Fu?"
"The chief steward An Xing and Boss Gan were killed together, and steward Zhao took over."
The boss rubbed his hands: "An Xing is dead? That's easy to handle. Zhao Fu is a good listener. Second brother, please find someone to invite him over."
The boy said, "He might be at Gan's house right now."
The second master said: "It's simple. I'll ask his brother-in-law to invite him."
The headmaster couldn't restrain his excitement and paced back and forth in the hall several times: "Gan Qing died suddenly, our chance has come."
The second master smiled and said: "The Gan family has nothing to worry about."
"They are considered a P." The leader chuckled, "We have to be fast, we have to be ahead of the others!"
…
While He Lingchuan was drinking his second bottle of wine, he suddenly saw two people walking out of the back alley of Gan's house. One of them was Manager Zhao.
He thought Manager Zhao was looking for him, but he didn't know that Manager Zhao passed the restaurant without entering and continued walking forward.
At this juncture, where else would Manager Zhao go?
With a thought in his mind, He Lingchuan took out a black pebble and whispered: "Follow Zhao Fu, let's go."
The round pebble suddenly grew a head and eight legs, crawled along the table and out the window.
Manager Zhao didn't go very far. With a slight jump, it jumped onto the back of Manager Zhao, then slipped down his clothes and got into his belt.
This location is the most hidden, and Manager Zhao cannot find it unless he takes off his clothes.
He Lingchuan rubbed his eyes and when he put down the wine glass, the scenery he saw with his left eye and right eye were different.
The scene seen with the left eye was a bit blurry, constantly moving, and it was a 270-degree panoramic view. If Manager Zhao hadn't blocked most of his field of vision, the experience would have been great.
The burrowing spider's field of view is so wide, after all, it has twelve eyes.
He Lingchuan finally experienced the Spider Queen's vision.
Yes, it was his first time to try out the eyeball spider given by Zhu Erniang. With the magical power of the Spider Queen, he could use the eyeball spider's perspective and hearing to monitor Manager Zhao's every move while sitting in the restaurant.
He stayed in the swamp for more than ten days, and when he entered the restaurant in the human world, he couldn't help but want to have a good meal. Unfortunately, the food and wine in this restaurant were mediocre, with only a plate of braised dried beans and a dish of smoked rabbit that he liked.
As soon as he tore a piece of rabbit meat, He Lingchuan heard Manager Zhao say to the man next to him: "Go back, I can go by myself."
The man responded and left.
Manager Zhao walked a few more alleys, and finally stopped in front of a black door, looked around, and then knocked on the door.
Squeak, the door opened immediately.
The spider's perspective was like that of a lowly person, who could only look at his chin. Judging from his clothing, He Lingchuan concluded that the person who opened the door must also be a waiter. He led Manager Zhao to a hall where there were several pots of orchids on the eight-treasure cabinet.
There were only two people sitting at the top of the hall.
Manager Zhao called these two people:
"The first boss, the second boss."
The head of the house stretched out his hands to greet each other: "Manager Zhao, please take a seat."
Sit down and watch the tea.
Manager Zhao understood the battle as soon as he saw it. He sat down and drank the tea: "If you two have anything to do, please give me your instructions."
"I heard that Gan Qing was killed. It's really a great misfortune for my Wuze County."
The three of them sighed together.
The second boss spoke: "I don't know where Manager Zhao will go from here?"
"Me?" Manager Zhao didn't expect that the topic would turn to him. But when he thought about it, he understood what these two people meant.
"Boss Gan died, and the entire Gan Chamber of Commerce was left without anyone in charge. What are Manager Zhao's plans for the future?"
"Ah this?" Manager Zhao chuckled, "Master Gan left so suddenly, I haven't had time to think about this."
The second master continued to ask: "Then who do you think will take over the Gan family's property?"
This time, Manager Zhao pondered for a long time before saying: "Maybe, it should be... probably Mr. Gan?" It's not that it's too difficult to choose, but it's hard to say.
There is no suitable candidate.
"Gan Laosan?" The second boss laughed loudly, "Luo Xunyi, who leads Gan Laosan around all day long, always gives you little shoes to wear. Guess who Gan Laosan will appoint as the general manager if he is the head of the family?
Is it you or Luo Xunyi?"
The eyeball spider could not see the expression on Manager Zhao's face directly above him, but He Lingchuan guessed that it was not very good-looking, because Manager Zhao was silent for a long time before saying: "It's probably a villain named Luo."
"In the past, when An Xing was here, it was fairer; in the future, with Gan Laosan as the head of the family and Luo Xunyi as the head, the Gan family will be lively."
Manager Zhao stood up and bowed to each of them: "Two heads, please speak directly if you have anything to say."
"Okay, we would like to invite Manager Zhao to work in Shimen and take over as deputy general manager."
Manager Zhao seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying: "As soon as Mr. Gan left, I switched to Shimen. Isn't this a good reputation?" Wuze County is such a big place, and businessmen communicate with each other. He doesn't want to ruin his reputation.
.
"Then you come back after the forty-ninth day of Gan Qing. There is a vacant position here." The second master said solemnly, "However, you have to help us obtain the access order for the Demon Nest Swamp."
This is the focus of today's meeting. Manager Zhao also understands it very well and does not shirk it: "The traffic order is not with me, but with Mr. He who left the swamp with the team."
The headmaster spoke at the right time: "Tell us about Mr. He."
Manager Zhao nodded: "The person designated by the Spider Queen for the transaction is Mr. Gan, so Mr. Gan must be leading the team on the trip to the Devil's Nest Swamp. But not long after setting off this time, we encountered bandits..."
He told the whole story of the incident.
The two leaders listened carefully and occasionally interrupted him to ask questions.
"Although Mr. He is from the Yuan Kingdom, his actual origin is unknown. He wants to get an identity here and go to the Bejia capital to hunt for treasures for the Spider Queen, right?"
"Exactly."
"The Spider Queen handed him the pass because she no longer trusts the Gan family." The headmaster hit the nail on the head, "It can be said that whoever he hands over the pass will be the designated trader of the Devil's Nest Swamp."
"We can't miss this opportunity." The second master then asked, "Is Mr. He already in Gan's house?"
"Uh, no, he is still at Yuanzhi Restaurant right now, waiting for me to introduce him to the Gan family."
When the boss heard this, he immediately turned to his brother and said, "Second brother, you go now."
"No need." The second master stood up.
Manager Zhao also stood up: "I reluctantly came out because of a family emergency. Now I have to go back to Gan's house to discuss Mr. Gan's death."
…
There was a hawker selling licorice fruits along the street. A diner on the second floor called him up and bought a whole bowl.
This is a local street snack. You can get it by soaking washed mountain peaches, carambola and carambola in licorice juice for an hour or two. He Lingchuan saw that people were enjoying the food, so he also called the hawker over and bought a portion.
Hawthorn, plums and other herbs are also added to this licorice juice. The fruits brewed with it are sour, sweet and refreshing, which stimulates saliva in the mouth. Sure enough, the greasy taste of wine and food is washed away in one go.
He was having a good meal when he suddenly heard the clatter of horse hooves below. He lowered his head and saw a dozen knights coming along the street. The young man surrounded by them was less than twenty years old. He was wearing bright clothes and angry horses, so he was very unassuming.
They were chatting and laughing loudly, and pedestrians immediately gave way to them wherever they passed. The vendors picked up their baskets and left, showing great initiative.
He Lingchuan's mouth twitched slightly when he saw this. With this style and aura, he didn't know which dandy he belonged to.
At this time, there was the entrance of the market in front, and there happened to be a hunter leading a horse with two big yellow sheep on the horse.
There was also a yellow dog following at his feet.
It seemed that he had just caught a yellow sheep from the wild and wanted to sell it in the market. There were many people who wanted the mutton, sheepskin, horns, and even sheep beards.
He Lingchuan also liked hunting. He could tell at a glance that these two wild sheep could be sold for at least one or two taels of silver.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the market, and people moved to the side. Before Orion could react, he heard his beloved horse neighing and dogs barking non-stop.
He turned around and saw the goat being pulled off the horse.
The hunter didn't have time to think about it, so he grabbed the leg of the lamb and pulled it back. However, the force of the other's drag was so great that he pressed hard against the horse's belly. The horse was frightened and spun around, almost trampling on him.
The yellow dog protects its master, barking and rushing forward to bite its opponent.
Only then did Orion and He Lingchuan in the restaurant see clearly that the one who had snatched the sheep was actually a huge pure white tusked pig!
Normally wild boars are gray, but this one is completely snow-white and smaller in size, weighing only over 200 kilograms. However, it is covered in tendons and looks unusually thick, and its eyes are blue.
The hound bit its hind leg, and the long-toothed pig became angry and accelerated, sending the hound flying away.
Its pair of fangs were like crescent moons, and the tops were ground to be sharper than awls. When they poked, they would leave two big bloody holes. The hound's belly was penetrated, and it screamed out.
Then he went to top the horse in front.
The hunter was frightened and angry, so he drew his ax and started to chop.
Unexpectedly, the ax struck the tusked pig's back and bounced back. The opponent's skin was not even broken, but the ax blade was curled.
This pigskin is really thick.
The long-tusked pig turned its head and bit him again and again.
In just a few breaths, Orion was scarred.
The surrounding civilians were exclaiming, who dares to step forward?
The angle was just right. He Lingchuan, who was upstairs, threw down the fruit, took out two throwing knives and threw them out.
It was impossible for him to miss such a big target.
His weapon was by no means comparable to an Orion's hand axe. The flying knife accurately penetrated the tusked pig's back neck and abdomen, causing it to scream in pain.
This long-tusked pig turned out to be very smart. It spun around twice and suddenly looked up towards the second floor of the restaurant, where it happened to meet He Lingchuan's eyes.
Hey, it actually discovered it?
The long-tusked pig spread its hooves and ran towards the restaurant.
The civilians along the way frantically gave way. He Lingchuan heard the restaurant hall was in a state of chaos, with guests screaming and shouting, tables and chairs overturning, dishes being broken, and the sound of pinging and banging being heard endlessly.
