Chapter 248: Fellow Villagers Meet Fellow Villagers



"Heh!" Chen Yong sneered as he listened to the tall and thin man's inquiring words.

"From White Dragon City?"

The tall and thin man was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said,

"Isn't it obvious? The only people who can come to visit relatives in Fire Extinguishing City are either from White Dragon City or Fire Extinguishing City."

"Why? Fire Extinguishing City doesn't allow us to interact with our relatives from White Dragon City?"

"This really opens my eyes, haha..."

Sun Ren frowned at the tall and thin man's unfriendly tone.

Who dares to speak to King Qianhuang like that?

Just as Sun Ren was hesitating whether to scold the tall and thin man, a loud slap was heard in the study.

“Bang!”

Zhang Tiezhu slapped the tall and thin man's cheek, causing it to swell up instantly.

"Who dares to speak so loudly to King Qianhuang? How many heads do you have left?"

Zhang Tiezhu glanced at the spy next to the tall and thin one, and when he saw the short and fat one staring at him, he went up and slapped him again.

“Bang!”

"You too, watch your words."

The short and fat guy was stunned by the slap without saying a word.

He looked at Zhang Tiezhu with a frustrated look on his face, moved his mouth twice, but didn't dare to say another word.

The slap from the big guy was so painful that his head is still buzzing.

Sun Ren's mouth twitched as he looked at Zhang Tiezhu who slapped him twice, and he silently gave him a thumbs up in his heart.

It’s no wonder that Zhang Tiezhu is liked by Chen Yong because he dares to think and act.

To vent the master's anger, just go up and do it.

After slapping the two men, Zhang Tiezhu immediately returned to his original position, staring at Chen Yong with his big eyes, looking at him with a proud and praise-seeking look, waiting for him to speak.

Jinju looked at Zhang Tiezhu in shock. This guy was really quick.

The two slaps were so strong that blood came out of the corners of the mouths of the two spies.

However, if Zhang Tiezhu had done something like this in an assassination organization, he would have been slapped out by the leader long ago.

Jin Ju turned her gaze towards Shen Yong.

Chen Yong looked at Zhang Tiezhu's expression and felt amused.

The subordinates who protect their master must be good subordinates, and it doesn’t matter if they are a little stupid.

Chen Yong looked calmly at the two spies who were still unconvinced.

"Since Magistrate Liu invited you to be his guests, then please stay for a few more days."

"I think you should be quite familiar with Master Lu."

Shen Yong was too lazy to interrogate the two spies.

He knew without asking that these people were either here to inquire about the expansion of the city wall or the water supply issue, anyway, they were the same things he did.

Shen Yong waved his hand casually.

"Send them to chat with Master Lu. When fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears."

When the tall and thin man heard that Master Lu had indeed been locked up, his brows immediately frowned.

What should I do? The news can’t get out.

Zhao Tongpan sent the two of them to inquire about the news.

Who knew that the people in Fire Extinguishing City were so alert? They had just found a three or four-year-old kid and asked him a few questions when he was caught.

He also took out several pieces of candy and distributed them to the group of children.

The children took the candies and scattered, leaving only the little kid staring at him eagerly.

Who knew that those children who ran away were actually going to inform on someone? It was a waste of all his candies.

Just as the tall and thin man was frowning and thinking about how to pass the message to Prefect Liu, the bailiffs had already dragged him to the cell.

"Go in, you who dares to yell at King Qianhuang? I'll give you the face."

The two yamen runners cursed and kicked the two spies into the cell.

The tall and thin man lost his balance and staggered forward a few steps, then fell on Master Lu who was sleeping soundly on the haystack.

“Ouch~~”

Master Lu felt a weight on his body and cried out, his whole body hunched over like a cooked shrimp.

The tall and thin man stood up hurriedly, and in a panic, his palm pressed directly on Master Lu's vitals.

“Ahhhh!!”

Master Lu screamed at the top of his lungs in a miserable voice.

"Master Lu, are you alright?!"

The tall and thin man was completely panicked when he saw Master Lu’s painful expression.

The short and fat man staggered two steps and knelt directly in front of Master Lu.

"Master Lu, why are you here?"

The short and fat man frowned and looked around. When he saw an old acquaintance in the cell, he instantly felt hopeless.

No wonder Master Lu hasn’t returned yet. It seems he’s been locked up in jail.

The short and fat man looked around at his old acquaintances, and seeing that everyone was fine, he felt a little relieved.

As long as there is no torture, just keep him locked up.

"Hiss~"

Master Lu rubbed the painful area on his body and gasped in pain.

He looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in front of him with a painful expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

"Zhang Yayi, Li Yayi, you two..."

Master Lu paused and stretched his neck to look at the prison door.

After seeing the soldiers from Qianhuang City lock the prison door and leave, he looked at the two and asked softly,

"Master Liu asked you to come?"

The tall and thin yamen runner Zhang nodded, "Yes, Zhao Tongpan said it was Lord Liu's order."

The short and fat Li Yayi also nodded.

Master Lu licked his lips and said, "Let the two of you come and save me?"

He brought four yamen runners with him, but they couldn't get out. Lord Liu then asked two yamen runners to rescue him. Wasn't he a bit too confident?

Moreover, the skills of the yamen runners Zhang and Li are not that great, they are just a bit smart.

Yamen runner Zhang, "......"

Magistrate Liu didn't mention saving people.

Just let them come and find out what the situation is in Fire Extinguishing City.

Li, the yamen runner, glanced at Zhang, pursed his lips and remained silent.

Yi Zhang looked at Yi Li and rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Fatty Li is a very cunning bastard. He just has an unnecessary mouth and never says a word.

Those who don’t know him would think he has been mute since he was a child.

Zhang Yayi's eyes rolled around.

"Master Lu, have you discovered what's happening in Fire Extinguishing City?"

"Who is the Qianhuang King? I've never heard of such a prince in the imperial court."

He couldn't believe that a prince would dare to surround a city and rebel.

What's more, Fire Extinguishing City is a border city, and General Zhong, the General of Zhenbei, is guarding it. How could they allow a prince to enclose the land and rebel?

The strange thing is that after General Zhong's men captured them, they directly sent them before King Qianhuang, and they didn't even see Prefect Deng's people.

Along the way, I only saw busy people, with their bare chests, either repairing the city walls or building roads.

Even without funding from the imperial court, Huohuo City was willing to spend so much manpower and resources to build the road.

I don't know why there is anything to repair on such a good road.

The road surface in Fire Extinguishing City is much flatter than that in White Dragon City. Even if a road needs to be built, it should be built in White Dragon City.
