Chapter 254: After the cleanup, I will be honest
It was late at night when Zhou Yuxuan came back.
She asked Shen Yong to park the carriage and went back to rest.
The Shen family was already fast asleep, but she didn't care and just lay down in the place reserved for her.
This trip today should be foolproof.
It is impossible for the Xu family to cooperate with the Shangguan family.
And with the help of the Shangguan family, I will definitely be able to gain a foothold in Mocheng quickly like in my previous life.
No, that's not enough.
She must get the Shangguan family's full support instead of wavering like in her previous life.
Shangguan Jinghong!
A hint of coldness flashed in Zhou Yuxuan's eyes.
If Shangguan Jinghong had not died, the Shangguan family would not have fully supported them.
In the previous life, because of this old guy, these talents of the Shangguan family were able to please both sides and try to please both sides, which eventually led to their own complete failure.
I will never make this mistake again in my life.
She wants a 100% tendency.
Besides, I am helping the Shangguan family out of their predicament.
So, don't blame her for being cruel.
After thinking this through, Zhou Yuxuan closed her eyes without any psychological burden.
But she didn't notice that as she lay down, a pair of eyes were staring at her closely.
It was not until she started snoring that Shen Zhixuan slowly sat up and walked outside.
In the Shen family carriage, Shen Yong suddenly opened his eyes when he heard footsteps outside.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person coming was Shen Zhixuan.
Shen Zhixuan got on the carriage and lowered his voice:
"Where did she go today?"
Shen Yong didn't hide anything and told Zhou Yuxuan everything about today's schedule.
"Is he trying to win over the Shangguan family?" Shen Zhixuan frowned.
It seems his mother is more ambitious than he thought.
Shen Yong nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then continued:
"When we were at Shangguan's house, Madam left for a while. I don't know where she went."
Shen Zhixuan nodded to indicate that he understood, then whispered a few words to him about other things, then turned around and prepared to go back to rest.
Shen Yong called him and hesitated before asking:
"Zhixuan, will you really avenge Qingxuan?"
Shen Zhixuan turned around and said, "You can doubt me."
After saying this, he turned and walked towards the compartment of the post station.
Shen Yong’s face was gloomy.
He kept staring at Shen Zhixuan's back until his figure disappeared, and a moment later she lay down in the carriage and fell asleep.
The next day.
The inn was particularly lively, with the sounds of packing and cooking mixed together, forming the sound of human fireworks.
When they were about to set off, Lao Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that they didn't cause him any trouble yesterday.
He was afraid of these people, because wherever they went, they would cause him trouble.
Fortunately, these people are lucky and can always turn danger into safety.
It made him feel like he was their steward, responsible for dealing with their troubles.
"Brother Wei, I see that you look relieved. Are you too nervous?" Xiao Liuzi asked with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a big bite of the bun in his hand.
"Just eat your buns, why do you care about so many other things?" Old Wei glanced at him.
Then he turned to look at the people in front who were packing up their things, "We're almost at the finish line, and I don't want anything to happen at this time.
Let's send the person to Mocheng, and then we can return to Beijing to report.
And you have saved enough money to get married this time. When you go back, you can marry a wife and live a good life.
Don't take this kind of work in the future. It's dangerous. You don't know when you might die."
Old Wei let out a breath of foul air.
If possible, he doesn't want to take these jobs anymore.
Unfortunately, I have no choice!
Xiao Liuzi shook his head. "Brother Wei, this job is dangerous, but I'm not afraid to follow you. Besides, the money is good. One trip is enough to buy a few acres of land. When I make enough money, I won't run away anymore."
Old Wei just glanced at him and said nothing. There was no way he could earn enough money. He was still too young.
Seeing that he was silent, Xiao Liuzi thought he was worried about him, so he quickly said:
"Brother Wei, don't worry, nothing will happen. From now on, if it's not your turn to lead the team, I won't take it.
Eat quickly, and we'll set off once you're full."
Lao Wei nodded and was about to turn around and leave when Xiao Liuzi suddenly shouted:
"Brother Wei, I think I heard someone coming on horseback."
Old Wei's body stiffened and he turned to look outside.
But there was no movement at both ends of the road. Old Wei realized that he had been deceived by Xiao Liuzi.
He glared at Xiao Liuzi unhappily and said, "Can you please stop being such a pessimist?"
Coming here so early in the morning, I know it's not a good thing.
If someone really came, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Xiao Liuzi chuckled, "Brother Wei, look how nervous you are. I was just joking with you."
Lao Wei rolled his eyes and said, "If you keep making jokes like this, I'll beat you up!"
After saying that, he turned and walked inside.
Xiao Liuzi shrugged and said, Brother Wei is too serious and can’t take jokes!
never mind!
This kind of joke really shouldn't be made casually.
Xiao Liuzi turned around and walked outside. He planned to relax, after all, he was about to set off.
But the next second, Xiao Liuzi shouted again.
"Brother Wei, someone is coming this way on horseback."
Old Wei, who had just walked a short distance, rolled his eyes upon hearing this, then turned around and glared at Xiao Liuzi:
"Xiao Liuzi, if you keep talking nonsense and fooling me, do you believe I'll beat you up?"
"Brother Wei, I'm not joking this time." Xiao Liuzi turned his head and looked at Lao Wei with a serious face:
“There really are people coming on horseback, and a lot of them!”
Only then did Old Wei realize that Xiao Liuzi was serious this time, and he himself could vaguely hear the sound of horse hooves.
Old Wei strode out of the post station.
When I walked to Xiao Liuzi's side, I saw a large group of people on horseback coming towards this side.
Old Wei had a stern look on his face. It seemed someone had caused trouble again last night.
He couldn't help but rub his aching forehead with his hand, "Xiao Liuzi, you have such a bad mouth."
Xiao Liuzi looks so innocent, can you blame him?
Old Wei's face was gloomy. "How come these people are so troublesome?
I've led so many teams, but this is the first time I've led such a difficult team."
Either this person is causing trouble or that person is causing trouble.
The team he led before was so well-behaved. No one dared to cause trouble. They all wanted to keep their tails down and behave themselves.
Xiao Liuzi looked at him sympathetically and said nothing more, as long as the other party had arrived here.
Looking at these people jumping off their horses, Xiao Liuzi was a little frightened.
Judging from the number of people, there are probably hundreds of them.
But what is really surprising is the identity of these people. They are probably all martial artists.
Maybe the expert doesn’t know that his strong muscles look difficult to deal with.
Xiao Liuzi moved closer to Lao Wei and lowered his voice:
"Brother Wei, with such a big scene, there should be no one else besides the Shangguan family."
Old Wei didn't say anything, but he agreed with Xiao Liuzi's words.
At this time, the people in the post station were also alarmed by the situation outside. They put down their work and squeezed out to watch the excitement.
Shangguan Lin, the housekeeper of the Shangguan family, dismounted from his horse. He glanced at everyone with his sharp eyes, and finally his gaze fell on Old Wei. He then strode towards him:
"Are you Lao Wei? The one leading the team this time?"
Lao Wei nodded. "Yes, what's the matter? And who are you?"
Shangguan Lin said arrogantly, "I, Shangguan Lin, am the steward of the Shangguan family. I am here on the orders of my master to invite the Prince of Anping to our house for a gathering."
Then he looked at everyone and said, "Who is the Prince of Anping? Please come out."
No one spoke, but everyone made way for Xu Wuyan, exposing him to Shangguan Lin.
Shangguan Lin looked unhappy and asked, "Why don't you come out?"
Xu Wuyan raised his head, his expression cold. "You invited the Prince of Anping, but I'm no longer the Prince of Anping, so why should I come out?"
Shangguan Lin's face darkened. He was clearly making excuses.
He snorted coldly and looked him over carefully.
He looks quite decent, no wonder the young lady made such a fuss over him.
"Come with me!" Shangguan Lin looked like he was giving alms.
"No!" Xu Wuyan answered decisively.
Since you don't want to make friends with the Shangguan family, there's no need to meet them.
Meeting would only cause trouble.
Shangguan Lin didn't expect that he would reject him. There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes:
"Is this how you attracted the attention of our young lady?
I told you it's useless to me. My master wants to see you, so you have to go even if you don't want to!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and asked someone to tie Xu Wuyan up.
No wonder the eldest lady asked me to lead so many people. It turned out that the other party was stubborn and disobedient.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Changan and others immediately stood nervously in front of Xu Wuyan.
Old Wei standing by also felt that the Shangguan family was too arrogant!
Anyone they want to see has to go see them, and no one is allowed to refuse.
However, the Shangguan family is the local boss here, and they can't afford to offend them.
Old Wei looked at Xu Wuyan and said, "We'll wait for you here. Do you want to come over?"
Given the opponent's situation, Xu Wuyan would have no choice but to go and take a look.
"No." Xu Wuyan answered decisively.
He looked at Shangguan Lin with cold eyes, "Go back and tell your master that we should keep our distance from each other. If his hands and feet are too long, I don't mind cutting them off."
"Arrogant!" Shangguan Lin sneered:
In this area, no one dares to challenge the Shangguan family. This kid is really brave.
He said with a mocking look, "You are just an exiled prisoner. What qualifications do you have to challenge us?"
After saying that, he ordered his thugs to rush forward and give him a good beating.
After being cleaned up, he will be obedient!
