"Why did you ask me to stop talking? Father, do you have a revenge plan in mind?"
Qin Hao clenched his right fist, showing excitement!
Because he had been stuffing his mouth with smelly socks for so long, the smell had become ingrained in him. It's like when a person squats in a pit toilet, it stinks when he first goes in, but he can no longer smell it after squatting for a long time. In the same way, Qin Hao can no longer smell the smell of his feet in his mouth.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, his old father was overwhelmed.
"The governor will make the final decision on this matter. Just watch from the sidelines and don't say anything."
Qin Baiye said while trying to suppress his discomfort.
Hearing this, Qin Hao immediately looked at Zhang Tao, "Uncle, I want Chen Xuan..."
"Shut up!"
Zhang Tao scolded with a dark face.
Qin Hao didn't know how he had offended him. Why didn't he let him speak?
I felt a little aggrieved, but didn't dare show it.
"Sir Governor, it is because of my incompetence that the young master was..."
The butler bowed his head and began to blame himself, but was interrupted by Zhang Tao halfway through.
"You should shut up too. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back."
The butler was stunned. He was one of Zhang Tao's confidants, so why was he not allowed to speak?
After all, the old guy was already quite old, with empty eyelashes. He quickly noticed that Chen Kun and Chen Qing, father and son, were secretly covering their noses, and instantly understood what was going on.
I felt a little sad at the moment, but didn't say much. I just stood aside obediently, closed my mouth and breathed through my nose.
"Xiao Liuzi, what are your socks made of?"
Chen Xuan had an expression of having seen nothing new in his life. He seriously suspected that Xiao Liuzi's stinky socks not only contained excessive bacteria, but also probably carried viruses.
It is estimated that Zhang Tianci and the other two will be infected and fall seriously ill after they return!
Xiao Liuzi scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed dryly, "It's just that I threw my dirty socks together. I don't have a wife to help me wash them, so they have been piled together for a long time and have a smell."
Chen Xuan immediately looked at him sideways. You call this dirty socks? You are a walking virus!
"Alright, we've paid for the goods, this is over, let's go."
Chen Xuan waved his hand, indicating that everyone could leave and there was no need to stay here.
Of course, if Zhang Tao and the others don’t leave, then there will be an explanation for the matter.
"Chen Xuan, your people also took our carriage loaded with silver in. You have already taken the money, so you have to return the carriage to us."
Chen Kun said with a frown.
Liu Jinyu immediately said with disdain: "You are so stingy. It's just a few carriages. I will return them to you in a few days."
"What do you mean? In a few more days?"
Chen Kun's face had turned very ugly. He felt like he was throwing a meat bun at a dog, with no way back.
"The gold and silver are still on the carriage and have not been unloaded yet. I will return them to you when they are unloaded."
Liu Jinyu picked his ears, dug out a bean-sized piece of earwax, rolled it into a ball and played with it, looking a bit like a scoundrel.
"Why aren't you leaving yet? Do you want me to keep you here for dinner?" Chen Xuan said indifferently.
This is an order to expel you.
After all, it was already very late at this time, the sky was covered with rolling clouds, and dusk had already fallen.
For a moment, Chen Kun, Qin Baiye and others all looked at Zhang Tao.
Should he leave, or continue the stalemate? Or should he fight to the death? It all depends on Zhang Tao's decision!
There was no expression on Zhang Tao's face. At this moment, no one knew what he was thinking.
Chen Xuan just looked at him calmly. As long as he opened his mouth to take action, if there was any movement among the 4,000 elite soldiers surrounding here, Chen Xuan would immediately capture Zhang Tao alive without hesitation.
As for whether to kill Zhang Tao, it depends on how things develop.
Chen Xuan was unwilling to kill him unless it was absolutely necessary.
After all, he was a prefect appointed by the imperial court, a seventh-rank official, slightly higher than the ninth-rank official.
"Walk!"
After struggling for a long time, Zhang Tao clenched and unclenched the fists hidden in his sleeves. Finally, he snorted coldly, swung his sleeves, and turned away.
"this……"
Chen Kun and the others showed hesitation on their faces. They had been blackmailed for a large sum of money, and they were really unwilling to leave like that.
But what can I do if I don’t leave?
Now that the prefect has left, the soldiers surrounding the courtyard will certainly withdraw as well. Are they staying here waiting to be blackmailed again?
In the end, Chen Kun and his son Chen Qing left unwillingly.
"Father, did I get beaten for nothing?"
Qin Hao immediately looked at Qin Baiye eagerly. He knew that Qin Baiye doted on him very much, so he wanted to act pitiful and try to awaken his father's love.
Sure enough, when Qin Baiye saw his son's miserable look, he became furious and his hatred for Chen Xuan grew.
But when he caught a glimpse of Ling Mo still meditating on the ground, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured over him, which instantly woke him up.
"Remember this account first. Our Qin family has not let him go. We will get it back with interest sooner or later!"
After saying that, he pulled Qin Hao away.
"Commander, are you okay?"
Several centurions stepped forward and looked at Ling Mo with concern, because Ling Mo was still closing his eyes to suppress his injuries. The governor had left, but he still didn't leave, which showed that he was indeed seriously injured.
"I'm fine."
Hearing someone calling him, Ling Mo opened his eyes, supported himself with his hands, and prepared to stand up.
However, just as he stood up, his vision suddenly went dark and his body shook, just like a person with insufficient blood circulation who had been squatting for a long time and suddenly stood up and had a brain short circuit. He staggered and almost fell.
"Master Commander!"
Several centurions were startled and quickly reached out to support him.
If it were any other time, with Ling Mo's strong personality, he would definitely push them away.
The commander-in-chief of the Barbarian City is so weak that he needs servants to support him. If this gets out, wouldn't he be laughed at?
But now, Ling Mo knew clearly his physical condition. He was indeed seriously injured, and it was internal injury.
"Earth-level martial arts, it really lives up to its reputation."
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, and then ordered, "Help me back to the camp immediately."
"yes!"
Several centurions nodded, then looked at Chen Xuan with deep fear before leaving.
Soon, the 4,000 elite soldiers who besieged the courtyard also withdrew.
"Leaving now?"
"These people are still serious officers and soldiers, they are not that great."
The bandits under Liu Jinyu looked at each other in dismay. A crisis was resolved, but they did not feel grateful for having survived. Instead, they expressed contempt and ridicule.
Seeing these people getting carried away, Chen Xuan frowned and couldn't help but glance at Liu Jinyu with a meaningful expression.
