Chapter 248 He is really his good partner
After Tianbao reminded them, Su Wen, Su An, Su Wu and others suddenly remembered that Wei Li also had his own things to do.
"Yes, Wei Li, you really don't have time. You should have returned to Changjing after the New Year holiday, but now you've already delayed it for a month. If you don't go back now, it might be too late."
Wei Li stared at the girl who was trying to chase him away with his dark eyes. He pursed his lips and said, "I'll accompany you to the Poison King Valley and then return to the capital at the end of the month."
Tian Bao, "It's enough for me to take them to the Poison King Valley. If you go, it will just be icing on the cake. It's not necessary."
"Wei Li, you have been planning for revenge for many years. Don't let all these years of hard work go to waste. Go back and finish your business first. We will always be able to meet again in the future. Tubei Village will always be there, and so will we." Bai Yu reached out and patted the young man's shoulder, saying seriously.
Wei Li felt a faint sense of frustration in his heart. How could he not know it?
He has been staying in the military camp these years, taking every step carefully and treading on thin ice, and all his achievements have been exchanged for his life.
It's all for revenge.
But he lost too much in the pursuit of revenge.
He can neither serve and respect the elders in Tubei Village, nor can he accompany his friends to roam the world and indulge in their desires.
He was unable to provide any kind of companionship.
"Junior brother, you're not afraid to go back to Changjing alone, are you?" Lost, a head enlarged before his eyes, a chubby and silly head, "How about I finish things here and go to Changjing right away to give you courage!"
Su Wen nodded seriously, "I can join in on this fun."
Su An, "We have a stronghold at the Twelve Piers in Changjing. I will drive the transport ship there and pick you up at any time. If this fails, Wei Li, you must flee to the pier immediately!"
Bai Yu, "Are you short of money? Young Master has it!"
Tian Bao tilted her head and pondered for a moment. "As for wealth, there's no richer than the national treasury. Since Changjing is the imperial city, there should be an arsenal, right? Okay, I'll go to Changjing and steal it for you after I'm done! If you want a knife, I have a knife. If you want money, I have money!"
Wei Li, "..."
As I glanced at the smiling faces in front of me, the feeling of loss and melancholy lingering in my heart disappeared.
He smiled softly, his lips pressed together, a light and joyful laugh coming from the heart.
"After so many years apart, are you looking down on me more and more? After returning to the Land of Exile, I have already discussed with Uncle Zi Yi. He returned to Changjing in advance to gather the hidden secret guards and be on standby. Over the years, I was in the military camp and he was in Fengyun City. In fact, we were not idle. So don't underestimate me too much. I am not empty-handed in Changjing. I can handle the affairs there by myself. Just watch how I rise to the top of the supreme!"
The young man's bold words drew laughter.
Tianbao's eyes were also filled with smiles. "You will get off the ship at Xuzhou Wharf and transfer to the Changjing route."
Bai Yu suppressed his laughter, gloating over the misfortune, "I wish you a successful start!"
"..." The young man in black covered his face and chuckled.
This feeling of being driven away... is really his good partner.
Several people parted ways at Xuzhou Wharf.
The transport ship temporarily docked and watched Wei Li board the dock.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, someone approached him, bowing his head in a respectful manner.
Although no one knew when and how Wei Li notified his people to come and pick them up, everyone on the boat felt relieved after seeing this scene.
Just as Wei Li said, after all these years of separation, his hard work must have paid off.
Everyone has grown, and Wei Li is no longer the helpless Wei Li.
"Master?" A comforting low call drew Wei Li's attention back.
He withdrew his gaze from the gradually receding transport ship, and the aura that had been restrained around him slowly emanated. "Let's take a shortcut and return to the capital via the Guannei Road."
"Yes, the horses are ready and we can set off immediately!"
A moment later, two horses galloped away outside the dock.
The roads inside the pass are narrow and dangerous, but it takes the shortest time to reach Changjing.
This time when he returns, he wants to settle the past grudges with Hong De!
Not only Hong De, but also the entire Dai Viet royal family, and the accomplices in the court who had taken advantage of his misfortune... he would not let any of them go!
On the other side, the transport ships on the river were also firing at full speed, rushing to the Poison King Valley at the fastest speed.
In order to save time, the transport ship did not dock again for the rest of the journey except for necessary supplies.
…
Kongliu Island, at the junction of Dai Viet and Longxi.
In mid-February, spring has arrived on the island, with flowers blooming and butterflies dancing.
Kongliu Island is located between the two capitals of Daiyue in the west and Longxi in the north. It is blessed with unique advantages and is a hub for trade between the two countries, making it extremely prosperous.
Coinciding with the Poison King Competition, more and more people began to gather outside Kongliu Island after February.
They all came from all over the country to participate in or watch the competition.
At the inn outside the island, guests and diners were talking enthusiastically about the upcoming event.
"The Wu family and the Poison King Valley have a long-standing relationship. The annual New Poison King Competition is hosted by the Wu family, and they make a ton of money every year. Other families can hardly come close."
"You can't say that. Besides the Wu family, which year's tournament hasn't had other families get a share of the spoils? The Wu family knows how to behave, so they have many supporters. Haven't you seen the children of famous families and dignitaries from various countries attending the banquet? They only come to see the face of the Wu Island Master."
"The Poison King Competition is held annually, and it's rare for a new Poison King to hold the title for more than three consecutive years. I wonder if it's because the new Poison King is incompetent or if there are too many talented people in the Poison King Valley..."
"Whatever it is, it's none of our business. We're here to watch the game. Wouldn't it be more exciting if the newcomers beat the old ones? Hahaha!"
In a corner of the inn, five young people, four men and one woman, were busy eating, and from time to time they pricked up their ears to listen to what others said.
Su Wu was the first to finish his meal. He put down his chopsticks and looked around. Seeing the packed hall, he sighed repeatedly, "I didn't expect so many people to come. The Poison King Competition seems to be quite important."
"The teacher said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. It's true." Su Wen pulled up his sleeve and wiped his mouth elegantly. "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known there were so many people who liked to make medicine and poisons."
Su An had a different opinion. "Coming here is like falling into a poison den. There are poisons everywhere. Don't you feel creepy?"
Bai Yu looked at him with disdain, "You played with anthills a lot when you were a kid. How come you weren't afraid of the dense swarms of ants? Just them? They're creepy? A single hair from Grandpa Du can make them bow down to the ground!"
The only girl immediately raised her eyes, "Even half a hair can make them bow down."
Bai Yu, "Yes!"
The three boys silently took out the small medicine bags from their waists and swallowed a Baijie Pill.
This is really not surprising.
