Wang Yanzhou wasn't the type to get impatient. Since he had already said this, he might as well listen to his purpose first: "I wonder what brings you here so late at night?"
Guard C introduced himself, "I'm just a gatekeeper at Tianshu Tower. I came here just because I'm curious about the legendary King Qingliang."
Wang Yanzhou glanced at Qiu Liang, and the wariness on his face gradually faded. "Are you from the black market?"
Seeing that they had finally relaxed their guard against him, Guard C moved closer from the doorway. "That's about right. I'm a black market thug, and I make a living from it. Okay, enough nonsense. I'm here to deliver the message as agreed."
Wang Yanzhou waved his hand and ordered, "Nianqing, pour the tea; Qiuliang, prepare the snacks."
"yes."
However, Guard C stated that he wasn't a big shot and didn't dare eat so much of their food. "No need. I'll be leaving after this. I won't be staying here any longer. I think you all know about Yunhe's situation. The power behind him is a mystery. In order to tightly control this giant tree, Xiahou Qing brought a large wooden box and countless ice cubes."
Wang Yanzhou asked, "What's in that box?"
Guard C smiled faintly and replied, "A person, to be more specific, a dead person."
"Dead people..." Some very scary thoughts appeared in Wang Yanzhou's mind at this moment. There are not many deceased people who can pose a threat to them.
Guard C didn't answer Wang Yanzhou's question, nor did he give him a specific area to think about. He simply said, "That's all I have to say. I'm only speaking of things I'm confident of. As for who the person inside is, I have no idea."
Wang Nianqing added, "Does the man named Yunhe know about Xiahou Qing's actions?"
Guard C replied, "Xiahou Qing naturally wouldn't let him know. Yun He may appear to be free to roam freely, but in reality, there aren't many places he can reach within the army. Furthermore, his temper is erratic. He might not leave his tent for days or nights, or he might disappear completely. I don't think he's interested in what's happening in the Tianshu Tower camp."
Qiu Liang also said that Wang Yanzhou and the others had told him that Yun He had come to him and said something inexplicable: "What is the origin of this Yun He that made Xia Hou Qing go to such great lengths to keep him?"
The guard shook his head and said helplessly, "I don't know about that, but one thing is certain: he's very rich."
Forget about the other things. In war, having money means you can recruit soldiers and provide military supplies. "That's a really convincing reason."
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. Please thank Princess Qingliang for me. Goodbye." After saying this, the man who came in a hurry seemed to have explained everything that needed to be explained. With a turn, he disappeared.
This person's Qinggong was only slightly better than Wang Nianqing and the others, but his last words were truly puzzling. The key point was that, aside from everything else, he didn't even leave his name, leaving Tang Chen with no idea how to convey his message.
As they looked at each other in bewilderment, Wang Yanzhou couldn't help but ask, "Qiuliang, has Tang Chen met this person before?"
Qiu Liang recalled for a moment and said that apart from the moment he saw him at the fire scene, he had no other impression of him. "Probably not. Speaking of people in the black market, besides Hua Wuxin, the only person who can be said to have had any connection with Madam is the one who is in charge of our transactions with the black market."
Wang Yanzhou said that since he was intentionally concealing his background, but was helping out and delivering information, he couldn't be from Tianshu Tower: "...never mind, let's just pretend we haven't heard of this matter, so as not to waste energy guessing his identity."
A short time before Tianshu Tower Camp and Qingliang Valley Camp discovered that the other side had sent people to attack almost at the same time, in the small town outside Zhiyoulin, Huangfu Ning and his group had already packed their bags and were ready to set off at any time.
If Wang Yanzhou hadn't sent Hong Yu over today, she might have missed them. After they left the town, Huangfu Ning repeatedly confirmed, "Hong Yu, are you really not going back with us?"
Hong Yu said bluntly, "If I go back, my future husband might not live to see me. Uncle Ning, Uncle Bin, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
Huangfu Xiong had seen Hong Yu in many ways. If Huangfu Ning and his father hadn't mentioned this to him when he was about to leave, he wouldn't have guessed that this person was the eldest daughter of the Huangfu family. Previously, she had only said that she was an ordinary disciple of the Huangfu family who was traveling, and he actually believed her. He didn't infer anything unreasonable from the attitude of Huangfu Ning and the others towards her. "Miss, I was blind to recognize the great man. Please accept my respects again."
Seeing this, Hong Yu hurriedly helped Huangfu Xiong up and said, "Hurry up, we are sisters, and after all, you are my brother. I can't accept your gift. This time when I go back, I will explain it clearly to the head of the family. Although grandpa is old, he is not confused."
Huangfu Xiong and Huangfu Bin smiled at each other. Although he was likely in danger on this trip back, at least he didn't want himself or his family to be constantly criticized for this matter. A real man, if he could do it, he must take responsibility. "I will definitely explain everything that needs to be explained. I know what punishment I deserve, but I will never back down."
Huangfu Ning nodded in satisfaction. Although Huangfu Xiong was born out of wedlock and his emotional intelligence was a bit low, he was indeed someone worth cultivating. Huangfu Bin's judgment of people was not much worse. "This is a good man of the Huangfu family. You three brothers, you must learn from your uncle."
The three brothers of the Huangfu family, whose surname was Chong, had been watching the show silently on the side. When they were suddenly called, they seemed a little flustered. After hurriedly responding, Huangfu Chongjun, as the representative, handed a square red brocade box to Hong Yu: "Aunt, this is for you."
Hong Yu glanced at Huangfu Ning, who seemed to have no idea what was inside. To avoid the three boys' mischief, she kept a safe distance from the brocade box before slowly opening it. However, she had overestimated her expectations this time. The brocade box contained a serious gift, a pair of jade pendants of excellent quality.
