Seeing Xiao Luomu's reaction, Zhao Cheng asked suspiciously, "What, Brother Zhao, do you think what I said is wrong?"
"Every man for himself! Brother Wang is absolutely right!"
Xiao Luomu suppressed his shock and echoed the reply, but in his heart he was thinking... Yan Chuan's young master is too ruthless!
Making friends with such an egoist would probably leave you completely ripped off, with not even a bone left.
"But Brother Wang, Wang Yufeng is your only brother after all. Aren't you even a little bit sad?"
"I'm so sad, Brother Zhao!"
"I can't sleep at all, night after night!!"
Zhao Cheng pounded his chest and stamped his feet, saying, "Logically speaking, after he died, the title of General Zhaoyong should have been given to me! But before he died, he got involved with that Southern Zhou spy, and the title of General Zhaoyong just fell into your lap, Brother Zhao! Tell me, shouldn't I be sad? He didn't die for any greater value!"
Xiao Luomu felt he couldn't express himself enough, and exclaimed in surprise, "Is this what makes you sad?"
"Otherwise what?"
"Brother Wang! You are truly...a remarkable person!" Xiao Luomu was very impressed with his own quick wit, as he had actually come up with such a compliment.
"Thank you for your kind offer, cheers!"
The two drank it all in one gulp, and Xiao Luomu was both shocked and incredibly excited.
The Wang Yufeng case is still a hot topic, even though it hasn't been long since it happened. And he actually got first-hand information from Wang Yuluan!
This is exclusive...and incredibly juicy gossip!
Bringing these gossips to Yanchuan will make you look better when socializing!
As Zhao Wu grilled skewers, he glanced at Xiao Luomu, who was sometimes excited and sometimes grinning foolishly, with an expression that seemed to suggest that no one could notice. He then curled his lip in disdain.
They've taken their acting to my master's doorstep...
You deserve to be fooled!
Xiao Luomu pondered for a moment, then asked, "Brother Wang, we each have our own relationships. You don't blame me, but doesn't anyone in the General's Mansion want revenge on me?"
"What did you say? Revenge?"
Zhao Cheng looked incredulous, then gave a wry smile.
Xiao Luomu asked in confusion, "Why are you laughing, my dear brother?"
"Brother Zhao, you overestimate the Wang family! To be honest, everyone in the General's Mansion except my father is a coward! Me too!"
Xiao Luomu immediately stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Brother, you mustn't blame yourself like this. You need to pull yourself together..."
At this moment, the real Wang Yuluan, who had been hiding in the woods, finally lost his temper. Dragging his knife, he charged out of the woods, roaring, "Zhao Cheng!!! You despicable bastard!!! I'll kill your whole family!!!"
Zhao Cheng smirked, thinking, "So you finally couldn't hold back?"
After the outcome of Wang Yufeng's case was announced and General Zhao Yong was appointed to Yanchuan, Zhao Cheng began to guard against Xue Yun and Wang Yuluan and his mother taking action against him and Yang Cai'e Donghua.
On the day of the funeral, he met Xue Yun and realized that this woman, who was good at enduring hardship, was the insidious type and was very likely to choose such an extreme way of revenge.
But perhaps because they were in Yanchuan City, they didn't have a suitable opportunity to make their move.
Instead of waiting, Zhao Cheng deliberately created an opportunity for them, and then took Yang Cai'e and Dong Hua on a trip to the outskirts of the city.
In order to prevent Wang Yuluan from realizing it was a trap, he deliberately did not allow the guards to follow him in secret. He only brought Zhao Wu in public and left Yang Taozhi to hide in the shadows.
These rotten bird eggs are like tofu hitting a knife when they encounter a starfruit branch; no matter how many come, they'll be smashed to pieces.
Anyway, everyone outside the city saw that Zhao Cheng didn't bring any soldiers with him. If Wang Yuluan really dared to make a move, then he should be killed and buried on the spot.
Xue Yun felt guilty and wouldn't make a big fuss about it openly.
Even if she were to make a scene, Yang Taozhi wouldn't leave any evidence.
Nothing's wrong.
I just didn't expect Xiao Luomu to suddenly appear out of nowhere.
Zhao Cheng was least afraid of unexpected situations; his strength lay in his ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Seeing Wang Yuluan leading a dozen or so men charging out angrily, he quickly shouted to Xiao Luomu, "Brother Zhao, he's going to kill your whole family! Be careful!"
"Ah..." Xiao Luomu was a little confused, and subconsciously waved his hand, saying, "He wanted to kill Zhao Cheng, I didn't..."
Zhao Cheng winked at Zhao Wu and nodded.
At the crucial moment, Zhao Wu didn't make a mistake and secretly shot a barbecue skewer at Xiao Luomu's follower.
"Ah!!!" The attendant clutched his body and collapsed.
Zhao Cheng shouted immediately, "Brother Zhao! They've started firing arrows!!"
"Outrageous! The people of Yanchuan are ruthless and their hands are equally ruthless!"
Xiao Luomu's expression changed, but he showed no fear and roared, "I am Zhao Cheng! You dare to touch my people? You're courting death!!"
As he spoke, Xiao Luomu's followers drew out their belts and flicked them, revealing soft swords.
Zhao Cheng was taken aback by this display!
Xiao Luomu walked to Zhao Cheng's side and said, "Brother Wang, don't panic. My followers are actually disguised soldiers. They are more than capable of dealing with them and won't implicate you."
Zhao Cheng wanted nothing more than to give Xiao Luomu a thumbs up.
They even brought out the local guards!
Wow, bro, that's some impressive acting skills! They're just as good as mine!
Zhao Cheng didn't know that although Xiao Luomu's words were false, his emotions were genuine; he was very confident in his followers.
As the son of a wealthy merchant, Xiao Luomu often had to travel far to help his family with their business, so his family naturally paid close attention to his safety. These attendants were all former members of a security escort agency, and each of them was highly skilled in martial arts; at least, he had never suffered a loss on any of his many trips.
Meanwhile, Wang Yuluan, in order to kill Zhao Cheng, adhered to the principle of not making a big fuss but ensuring high efficiency, and chose only elites.
Sure enough, a dozen or so people from both sides started fighting, and for a time the battle became a stalemate.
