"Ha ha ha ha……"
This answer truly surprised Xuan Yuanzhan, and he was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
...Bai Ying looked at Xuan Yuanzhan with a puzzled expression: "What are you laughing at?"
He thought about it for a long time and compared different options before deciding that this metaphor was the most suitable!
The main thing is that this guy really doesn't look like a horse trader at all. He has a kingly aura that no horse trader could possess.
Xuanyuan Zhan's smile faded, and he raised an eyebrow, saying, "Emperor? I dare not accept that title!"
Even though he is a prince, he is still far from being an emperor!
Xuan Yuanzhan didn't want to discuss this topic any further and changed the subject, saying, "You don't seem like a bandit. Someone like you shouldn't have become an outlaw, should you?"
White Eagle raised an eyebrow with a wry smile: "Then what should I do?"
Xuanyuan Zhan turned to look at him: "With your martial arts skills, you can do anything. Even being a bounty hunter would be better than becoming an outlaw!"
Being an assassin is better than being a bandit.
At least assassins don't have to show their faces, and when they quit, they can find a place where no one knows them and start over.
But once you become a bandit leader, it will be difficult to clear your name later.
White Eagle looked up at the sky again with a bitter expression: "Being a bandit isn't necessarily bad. Even if you become a bandit, you can still maintain your conscience and be a bandit with a conscience."
Xuanyuan Zhan snorted: "Is that so? Are you trying to say that you're a bandit with a conscience?"
Sensing the disdain in his tone, Bai Ying didn't turn to look at him, but continued to gaze at the moon in the sky: "I, Bai Ying, have always acted with a clear conscience. I don't consider myself a wicked bandit."
He, Bai Ying, has always acted with a clear conscience and without shame before heaven and earth!
"So what are you doing now?"
Xuan Yuanzhan tried his best not to speak to him in a harsh tone.
Perhaps they had their reasons, or perhaps even though they were bandits, they hadn't lost their conscience and committed heinous crimes!
Bai Ying paused for a moment, then finally turned to look at Xuan Yuanzhan: "You mean to talk about robbing this disaster relief grain?"
Xuan Yuanzhan suddenly narrowed his eyes: "So you really know what's going on?"
The big deal Zhang Debiao was talking about was robbing their disaster relief grain.
Ten thousand dan of relief grain is enough to provide relief for 100,000 refugees in the north. If this relief grain does not arrive, how many more refugees in the north will starve to death?
They dare to do such heinous things!
Looking at Xuan Yuanzhan's expression, Bai Ying snorted coldly, "It seems you also know that last night you recognized that the Venerable One was Chen Chuan, the Prefect of the Northern Lands."
Xuanyuan Zhan frowned, not expecting that he even knew that the Venerable One was Chen Chuan.
It seems that this White Eagle is smarter than he thought. No wonder Zhang Debiao and the others are so wary of him!
"He was wearing the boots of a fourth-rank official; he was the only fourth-rank official in the northern region."
Bai Ying raised his eyebrows noncommittally: "So, if Chen Chuan, as an official appointed by the imperial court and the governor of the northern region, is eyeing this disaster relief grain, why can't I?"
Xuanyuan Zhan frowned, but did not utter a rebuttal.
Chen Chuan is indeed a scourge to the North!
As the governor of the northern region, I witnessed the region in such dire straits, suffering from drought, banditry, and famine.
Hundreds of thousands of refugees in the north are waiting for disaster relief food to save their lives, yet he dares to join forces with bandits to rob these refugees' disaster relief food. This alone is enough to make Chen Chuan die a hundred times over.
It's no wonder that people despise an official like Chen Chuan, and he has no face to speak up for Chen Chuan.
Bai Ying scoffed disdainfully, "A prefect like Chen Chuan, who is so incorruptible, even embezzles the disaster relief grain meant to save the lives of the victims. Officials like him are completely untrustworthy. How much of the disaster relief grain will be left in their hands? I might as well seize the disaster relief grain and distribute it to the victims myself. Wouldn't that be just as effective in providing disaster relief?"
Xuanyuan Zhan was stunned for a moment, staring at Bai Ying in astonishment: "Are you trying to say that you participated in this buying and selling of disaster relief grain in order to help the disaster victims?"
What bandit would rob people to save disaster victims?
Xuan Yuanzhan's surprised reaction also stunned Bai Ying, who looked at him with astonishment: "Aren't you one of them?"
He thought he shared the same thoughts and goals as him. Could it be that he misjudged him?
...Xuanyuan Zhan was speechless for a moment and could not speak for a long time.
He is definitely not!
Bai Ying looked at Xuan Yuanzhan strangely: "Someone like you wouldn't do something like robbing disaster relief grain, would you?"
He had investigated him the first time he met him and knew that he had distributed dry rations to the refugees in Beian City.
He probably gave away all the rations he was carrying, killed the former third leader of Silver Tiger Stronghold, and then actually followed Zhang Debiao back to Silver Tiger Stronghold.
How could an upright person like him possibly become a bandit? He must have some ulterior motive for entering Silver Tiger Stronghold.
Judging from his enthusiasm for this big deal, and the fact that Zhang Debiao took him to see the Lord, he must have come for this big deal.
He thought he would have the same idea as him, wanting to participate in this big deal and, if possible, to steal all the food and distribute it to the refugees.
If they can't rob, their Liuying Village can still get 25% of the grain, which can also be distributed to the refugees.
Looking at Bai Ying, who trusted him completely, Xuan Yuanzhan felt a mix of emotions.
It's comforting, but not entirely; we appreciate each other, but that doesn't seem to be the case yet.
How to put it... if Bai Ying really participated in this looting of disaster relief food to save the victims, then he's incredibly foolish!
However, it must be admitted that this person is different from Zhang Debiao, Li Yuanbao and others!
Seeing that Xuan Yuanzhan remained silent for a long time, Bai Ying suddenly asked again, "Want to cooperate with me?"
"Cooperate on what?" Xuan Yuanzhan didn't react for a moment and subconsciously replied.
Bai Ying glared at him and said, "Let's grab this disaster relief food together and then share it with the refugees."
Even with the Eagle Village alone, he only has tens of thousands of men. To deal with the Silver Tiger Village, Black Panther Village, Wolf Fang Village, and even government troops, it would be very difficult for him to succeed.
He wanted to seize the grain, and he was waiting for the right opportunity to act.
Of course, if he were willing to help, their chances of winning might be higher.
"I'm sorry." Xuan Yuanzhan looked at Bai Ying's sincere invitation and reluctantly declined.
White Eagle frowned: "You don't want to cooperate with me?"
Why would Xuanyuan Zhan cooperate with him?
However, he couldn't explain the situation to him in detail, and could only helplessly say, "My purpose was not to steal grain."
"Then you..." Bai Ying looked at Xuan Yuanzhan strangely, wanting to ask something, but seeing Xuan Yuanzhan's solemn expression, he swallowed his words.
If he wasn't here to seize grain, then what was his purpose in getting involved?
Don't ask, it won't do you any good.
Xuanyuan Zhan rested his head on his hand again and closed his eyes.
Bai Ying stared at Xuan Yuanzhan, and seeing that he seemed unwilling to speak anymore, he didn't ask any more questions.
Why did we come?
You'll see when the disaster relief supplies arrive!
