Chapter 746: What did the Living King of Hell ask you to do here?!

The rain is really heavy.

Gui Sheng and Fan Shicheng had no choice but to abandon the wind and rain-proof carriage and ride their horses in the rain all the way to Nandukou.

But even so, we still arrived much later than expected.

Gui Sheng threw the reins casually, stood above the ferry and looked at the steps that were flooded to the point of being almost gone, his face more solemn than ever.

Fan Shicheng looked at the terrible waves rising on the river, and his face darkened amid the howling of wind and rain.

Fan Shicheng pinched his palms fiercely, and his relatively calm tone was filled with ominousness that he dared not say directly: "Lao Gui."

"Looking at this situation, I'm afraid something is going to happen..."

Unlike Sang Zhixia and others who had no idea about the disaster caused by floods, Gui Sheng and Fan Shicheng had seen it before.

Although they were not big-time when the disaster happened decades ago, they had never experienced being trapped in Nanyun or even struggling to breathe while holding onto driftwood in the flood.

But for some extremely tragic past events, even if you just hear about them continuously, it is enough to leave an indelible impression on people for decades.

Gui Sheng's face turned ashen and he gritted his teeth.

Fan Shicheng rubbed his hands, which had been soaked and turned cold by the rain, and moved his lips: "If the rain continues to pour down like this, within three days, Nanyun City will be..."

"No, we have to retreat quickly."

"Nanyun is low-lying and has no shelter from the outside world. If a flood comes, even if the Dragon King were alive, he would be drowned like a swollen fish. If we delay any longer, no one will survive!"

Fan Shicheng muttered a few words to himself, and suddenly he seemed to remember something and felt a chill running down his spine.

Fan Shicheng looked at the mute Gui Sheng with horror: "No, it looks like a flood is about to happen. What is the purpose of the living devil you call "not to be offended" sending you here?!"

"At this critical moment, if you don't quickly take your wealth and run away, do you still want to fight the flood that is about to cover your mouth and nose?"

"Does this person want to kill your entire family, or does he want to bury his own life with Nan Yun?!"

The more wealthy one is, the more he values ​​his life and property.

After all, when a person dies, all his wealth will be scattered. No matter how rich the family fortune is, it is not the dead's turn to enjoy it. Even a coffin made of pure gold cannot bring the dead back to life.

People like Fan Shicheng have known since childhood that their own lives should be put first in everything.

When you encounter a problem that may involve life or death, don't think about anything else and just turn around and run. After all, the first priority is to save your own life.

What's going on now?

Fan Shicheng murmured in disbelief: "The wealth of Sanyou Commercial Bank is no less than yours and mine. Isn't the head of the Sang family a woman?"

"The King of Hell's sword is about to fall on his neck, and this guy isn't afraid at all?"

"Or..."

"She called you here to discuss the fastest evacuation route from Nanyun? You..."

"If that's what you guessed, why choose this location?"

Gui Sheng stared at the river surface not far away, where huge waves were constantly rising and falling, with a look of death on his face. He suppressed his fear and said softly, "Brother Fan, it was you who shamelessly followed me today."

Fan Shicheng: “…”

Fan Shicheng twitched his lips dryly: "Lao Gui, we have been friends for decades. What do you mean by this?"

Gui Sheng pursed his lips and said nothing.

Fan Shicheng gritted his teeth and said, "Speak properly."

"This tone of voice really makes me feel terrified. I..."

"Don't be so anxious yet."

Gui Sheng smiled bitterly and said softly, "It's not too late to panic after you see the real Buddha."

A lot of rainwater leaked into Fan Shicheng's open mouth.

Gui Sheng closed his eyes and said solemnly, "By the way, did I not have time to tell you about the background of this Sang Dong family?"

Fan Shicheng's eyes narrowed slowly, and he said jokingly, "Well, that's not hard to find out."

"I heard that she had a close relationship with Qianyuan Villa many years ago, and also had close ties with the now powerful Lingnan. Otherwise, how could her business be so large?"

Fan Shicheng's eyes seemed to casually sweep over Gui Sheng's face, and he said nonchalantly: "After all, it's such a huge family business, it's impossible for it to have no background. I think, she..."

"Do you know Xu Yu?"

Gui Sheng's sudden question made Fan Shicheng stop in his tracks.

Fan Shicheng said doubtfully, "Of course I know."

"Xu Yu, a fierce general under the command of the young prince of the Lingnan rebels, is currently stationed in Chuzhou and is temporarily on hold. Why are you suddenly talking about him?"

Gui Sheng sighed deeply: "If I'm not mistaken, Sang Dongjia is Xu Yu's wife, the young master's wife of the Xu family."

Fan Shicheng's expression gradually froze.

Gui Sheng sneered, "Besides, who said Xu Yu was in Chuzhou?"

Thinking of the man in black who constantly oppressed him, Gui Sheng scoffed, "He's been in Nanyun for a long time."

"If you had come before Wei Cheng died, you would have had a good chance of seeing the True Buddha."

Gui Sheng's sudden frankness shocked Fan Shicheng so much that he became speechless for a moment. Before Fan Shicheng could respond, someone noticed the extra person on the ferry.

Old Man Hua was clearly soaked to the skin, with his hair all messed up, but he moved swiftly as he trotted over through the puddles on the ground. He bowed his head politely, clasped his fists, and called out "Master of the Gui Family."

Gui Sheng nodded out of respect and was about to introduce Fan Shicheng who came with him when he heard Old Man Hua say with a smile, "This young man greets Master Fan."

Gui Sheng's face twitched silently, and he gave Fan Shicheng a look that told him to fend for himself.

Before they arrived, Sang Zhixia had already guessed that the person following them was Fan Shicheng.

Today, Fan Shicheng has rushed into a difficult situation, and it may not be so easy for him to get out of it safely.

Fan Shicheng gasped secretly at Gui Sheng's cold gaze, then smiled and sighed, "It's true that we had a bad trip today. Our carriage broke down on the way, and we rode all the way here, but it still delayed us."

"Where is your master busy?"

"We are late and should go and apologize. Could you please lead the way?"

As Fan Shicheng spoke, he skillfully took out a bulging purse and stuffed it into Old Man Hua's hand using his sleeve to cover it.

Old Man Hua calmly avoided his hand and said respectfully, "You're welcome."

"Our host is taking shelter from the rain in the restaurant over there. He specifically asked me to wait here. Please follow me."

Fan Shicheng was holding the purse but couldn't give it away, and was at a loss for a moment, so he winked at Gui Sheng.

If they don't accept the benefits given to them, have they offended others?

Gui Sheng was too lazy to avoid people and said directly: "Sang Dongjia is very strict with his subordinates, and his subordinates are well-behaved."

No matter if he was a horseman, a coachman, or just an inconspicuous waiter and tea-server in a shop, he would not take a penny more than what he deserved.

To be precise, everyone in Sanyou Trading Company follows this rule.

Gui Sheng asked strangely, "Didn't you know about this a long time ago?"
