Wang Zhan obviously knew Xiaozhu, but the expression on his face was as if he had seen a ghost.
"What, should I die?"
"Is it you who are about to enter the city just now? Why isn't Jin'er with you? Tell Uncle Wang quickly what's going on!"
Wang Zhan was not stupid, he just didn't have high emotional intelligence. Otherwise, how could he have cultivated to the late stage of Qi Condensation? As soon as he saw Xiaozhu, he knew something was definitely wrong. He turned over and dismounted regardless, stepped in front of Xiaozhu and asked.
"What's going on? I would like to ask Uncle Wang why he stopped us from going to rescue the caravan! The tiger's poison has not yet eaten its seeds. Captain Wang and the others are fighting bloody battles with flying insects. As a father, he came to ask questions in person. Why?
?”
Xiaozhu was not afraid at all, his almond-shaped eyes widened, and he asked righteously.
"What? Damn it, didn't you say that he was from the Hongyan Merchant Alliance in Dadu? Qiu Jianjun, this guy must be avenging his personal revenge and lying about the situation. Damn it, if my son makes a mistake, I will never be in conflict with your Qiu family."
Although Wang Zhan has poor emotional intelligence, he can still think of such obvious things.
"Hmph, how stupid!"
The great elder rolled his eyes and said sarcastically:
"No matter how brave Qiu Jianjun is, he wouldn't dare to lie. Besides, how could I not know when reporting here? He didn't lie. The order not to rescue was personally issued by the county prince."
"How is this possible? Those caravans are all the prince's own people. How could they not save them even if they die?"
Wang Qiang didn't believe what the great elder said and looked at him angrily.
"Some people are really stupid. The most ruthless emperors don't understand the principles. They are simply trained like dogs."
The great elder shook his head and said as if a summer insect cannot speak to the ice.
"Old Ghost Huang, stop spouting nonsense! The insect famine has not yet arrived, and rescue is just a matter of effort. There is no benefit in doing this for the county prince."
"You are so hopelessly stupid. Do you really know nothing about the rumors!?"
"You also know that it's just a rumor! Besides, the Holy Spirit is not worthy of his position today. The Prince of Nanjun is highly virtuous and respected. He is orthodox. There is nothing wrong with taking back the throne that belongs to him."
"Idiot! With Nanjun's little power and no background, how can he compete with most of them? With the royal family's background, how dare three families and two families dare to blatantly force the palace? How could you be involved in the mystery?"
"Yes, the royal family dispute is not something that we outsiders can participate in. The rumors in the market are just rumors. You actually take it seriously. I think you are the most stupid person, Mr. Huang."
"Okay, I'd rather fight with a smart person than say a word to an idiot. Just wait and ask your son when he comes back!"
The Great Elder was too lazy to talk nonsense with Wang Zhan. He sneered and invited Ye Feng to sit in the tent.
However, Wang Zhan could not calm down enough to wait. He ignored the elder's warning and only let others wait outside while he followed in.
The great elder gave him a cold look, didn't bother to pay attention, and just asked him to serve tea.
The maid was smart and did not neglect Wang Zhan because of the great elder's neglect. Instead, she asked Wang Zhan to thank him profusely.
"Young Master Ye, you must be Young Master Ye Feng. I heard that it was you who escorted the princess all the way to Qingshui Town. You left because of a little misunderstanding, right?"
Wang Zhan Si'er was eager and couldn't stand the indifferent chat between the elder and Ye Feng, so he finally licked his face to get close to her.
"That's not true. The caravan escorted them all the way to the third mountain, and then we parted ways."
Although Ye Feng didn't like Wang's arrogant attitude before the battle, he also knew that he was a fool and was being treated as a spearman, so he didn't completely ignore him, but his tone was very cold.
"Young master is also escorting Xiaozhu into the city today, right?"
"Um!"
Ye Feng really didn't want to pay attention to him, so he just said yes.
In fact, he is also very conflicted now. He doesn't know whether the Five Poison Sect will be implicated this time. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with them, but now it has brought them to the forefront. He really has no good way to solve it.
"Young Master Ye, there is no need to worry about us. This matter is the Nanjun Prince's own business. I cannot blame the Five Poison Cult. Besides, with the participation of your Ye family, Nanjun Prince will not dare to cause trouble."
The great elder naturally knew what Ye Feng was thinking, and he smiled and comforted him.
"The elder has misunderstood. I am not from the Ye family."
"Hehe, little brother, I am, there is nothing to worry about! Not to mention that he is a little Nanjun Prince, even the entire royal family has to give our family a bit of trouble,"
"That's right, that's right! Mr. Ye, you don't need to come forward. With Miss Ye here, Wang An of Nanjun County dares to make a mistake."
The Five Poison Sect is an alliance-based sect, covering three religions and nine sects. It has a very broad scope. The chief elder is already responsible for handling daily affairs, so he has long known who Sheng'er is.
"Hehe, the Great Elder still has discernment! I say, Great Elder, the more you drink the tea, the weaker it becomes. It's really boring. Why not change it to some fine wine, so that the more you drink it, the more energetic you will be."
"Haha! Someone has taken it away a long time ago. These are all ordinary goods. How can you like them!"
The eldest elder seems to like Sheng'er's character quite a lot, but of course it may be more because of the reputation of the Ye family, so he seems to be very accommodating.
"Hehe, the great elder still understands me! But we have agreed first, Sheng'er will only drink Captain Zhang's monkey brew."
"I know you're being naughty, but there really isn't much Houerjiu left. The jar I have there is the one that Zhang boldly paid filial piety back then. I like drinking tea more as I get older, so I saved it."
"Thank you, Great Elder, for your love. Sheng'er won't drink your wine in vain. I'll make an exchange with you!"
After Sheng'er finished speaking, he patted the void bag, and a jade bottle flew towards the great elder.
"this......"
The great elder raised his hand to catch it. As soon as he uncorked the bottle, he immediately capped it, his expression changed drastically, and he stood up with a cry.
"Shh!"
Sheng'er playfully reached out her hand and made a silent gesture, then she smiled and said:
"This is not mine. My little brother gave it to me to drink. But it was too bitter and it was hard to drink. So I borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha. It can be regarded as our meeting gift to the great elder!"
"This is too expensive!"
The great elder is an old man, and he recognized it at a glance as fairy spring nectar. How could he not be surprised.
"Take it! My relationship with Master Tang is not ordinary. We are not outsiders. We don't want to lose money to outsiders. Great Elder, don't be too outsider."
Although Ye Feng felt that the voice was a bit abrupt, the elder was indeed a person in his mood and could be trusted.
"Okay then! If I refuse any more, it would seem that my old man is too ignorant."
The great elder happily put away the jade bottle carefully before sitting down again.
"No! I can't wait any longer. Great Elder, please open the city gate. I have to go and respond in person."
The conversation was going on here, but Wang Zhan was like an ant on a hot pot, restless, and finally asked.
"Confused!"
The great elder really didn't like Wang Zhan. As soon as he heard his words, he scolded:
"The city gate has already been opened, and it attracted you. If it is opened again, what do you think will be the consequences?"
