My father, on horseback, is the empire's dragon commander; off horseback, he is the current prime minister. People call me the Young Prime Minister.
My father and I both feared being slau...
"Get out!"
Seeing that Zhao Cheng was unharmed and that Wang Yufeng was being used as a pretext, Wang Yuluan jumped off Zhao Wu's arms in a panic and roared, "My General's Mansion's affairs are none of your business!!"
Zhao Cheng calmly said, "You're also going to Changsui, right? There are two more carriages, which is enough, but there are no drivers..."
He glanced at Wang Yuluan's delicate hands and said, "It's not impossible for you to drive yourself, taking your mother and sister with you."
"roll!"
"don't want!!"
Wang Yuluan and his sister shouted almost simultaneously. Under the astonished gazes of Wang Yuluan and Xue Yun, Wang Yucen hooked his arm around Zhao Cheng's neck and said, "Let us go with you!"
"This?" Zhao Cheng was somewhat surprised, glancing at Wang Yuluan and Xue Yun alternately.
Xue Yun didn't speak, her eyes were panicked, and she was clearly still in shock.
Wang Yuluan angrily shouted, "Little sister, what are you doing? Get down here right now!"
"No!!" Wang Yucen insisted, "Zhao Cheng is also going to Changsui, why don't we go with him?! What if we run into bandits again?!"
"This little girl has good insight!" Zhao Cheng nodded and said, "There are quite a few bandits on this road!"
Wang Yucen said, "Would you like to take us with you?"
Zhao Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I have no problem with this..."
Before Wang Yuluan could speak, Zhao Cheng immediately said, "Zhao Wu! Arrange for two people to drive their carriages!"
Wang Yuluan angrily retorted, "I didn't agree!"
Zhao Cheng sneered and said, "Your sister is scared. Given my relationship with Wang Yufeng, I won't abandon her. I also need to take care of your mother for your brother. As for you... if you don't want to come along, then you can go to Changsui by yourself!"
Zhao Wu interjected, "Master, it's closer to return to Yanchuan from here."
"Hey, you're getting smarter and smarter!" Zhao Cheng looked at Wang Yuluan and said, "You can go back to Yanchuan to reorganize the troops, I'm not waiting for you."
"Second Brother!" Wang Yucen said stubbornly, "Going to find Father is the priority!"
Wang Yuluan took a deep breath and silently helped Xue Yun up, which was taken as tacit agreement.
So, the two teams merged into one.
Xue Yun rode alone in her own carriage, Wang Yuluan in another carriage, while Wang Yucen was pulled into Zhao Cheng's carriage by Xia Qiqiu.
Besides Zhao Cheng, there were three girls in the carriage. Wang Yucen was innocent and carefree, and quickly became friends with Xia Qiqiu. The three of them chattered incessantly the whole way, completely forgetting the robbery they had just encountered, and seemingly forgetting even the murder of Wang Yufeng.
The next morning.
Small mounds of earth were piled up on the mountain, and Ma Cong and the bandits knelt in front of them.
On one side of the bandits were valuables laid out directly on the ground.
It includes silver, jewelry, ornaments, fine clothes, etc.
Ma Cong slammed his fist on the ground, glanced at the valuables beside him, his eyes devoid of joy, only solemn, and said, “Brothers, you have fallen first, forever left on this mountain. From now on, it will be your turn to guard this place. We robbed Wang Ren’s son, and he will surely pursue the matter afterward. My surviving brothers and I must leave.”
“We’ve all made up our minds. With this money, we’re not going to be bandits anymore. Brothers, trust me, just as you all trust me. I’ve decided to take them with me to do business.”
“More and more people in the thirteen cities of Jingdong have become rich in recent years. We have capital now and we don’t lack brothers. If others can become big bosses, so can I, Ma Cong!”
"I promise you, I will make something of myself, and from now on, people will have to call me Boss Ma!"
"At that time, I will treat your families well. As long as I, Ma Cong, am wealthy, I will let them enjoy a life of luxury!"
"You know me, I never waste words. I'm leaving!"
Ma Cong kowtowed heavily again, then stood up with a resolute expression.
"Brothers, a new path awaits us!"
"When we return, we must not be bandits, but will return home in glory!"
The bandits shouted in unison, "Yes, Chief!"
"It's time to change your tune!"
"Mr. Ma!!"
...
night.
Unable to find accommodation nearby, Zhao Cheng and his group found a suitable spot and set up camp.
When the night was deep and quiet, Zhao Cheng pried Xia Qi off his left hand, pulled away Qiu Shu's right hand, lifted Wang Yucen's head which was stuck in his legs, and lightly got off the carriage and climbed into Wang Yuluan's carriage.
Wang Yuluan immediately drew a small knife and said, "Come here quickly!"
"Are you serious? You're acting like I'm going to do something to you!" Zhao Cheng sat down opposite Wang Yuluan and said, "You're not even as good as your sister. She's sleeping soundly on my lap."
"You beast! You're not allowed to touch my sister!!"
"You're crazy. I have no interest in minors."
Zhao Cheng crossed his legs and said, "Put down the knife, we should talk business."
"Business?" Wang Yuluan asked doubtfully, but still put down the knife and asked suspiciously, "What business do I have to discuss with you?"
"The protection money I've been charging you all this way! You actually thought I was giving you a free ride?"
"This carriage is mine!"
"Oh, then you can take it away yourself."
"you!!"
Wang Yuluan angrily asked, "How many do you want?"
Zhao Cheng held up one finger.
"One hundred taels?"
Zhao Cheng's mouth dropped open, completely dumbfounded, and he unusually swore, "Are you an idiot?"
"How much is that? Does it have to be ten thousand?"
"When have I, Zhao Cheng, ever discussed such a small business deal? Ten thousand taels? That's not even enough for me to gamble with Xu An!"
