Chapter 539 This is cause and effect!
"What!" Liu Wei's face instantly turned extremely ugly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Your Highness, there is a secret passage here. You must leave quickly!" Liu Wei gritted his teeth and then spoke seriously.
Little Su Bao, however, turned her gaze toward the doorway.
She vaguely sensed a threat.
The threat sent chills down her spine. She vaguely sensed that if she left, everyone in An County would be wiped out!
Just thinking about this made Xiao Su Bao's face flash with pain.
The people of An County are her own people. Besides, as a princess, she has received their support over the past two years, so she naturally has to give back.
This is cause and effect!
"I can't leave!" The little girl's voice wasn't loud, but her eyes were extremely firm.
They didn't know why the King of Yizhou would suddenly launch an attack, but there were only so many reasons, and sometimes the reasons weren't important!
Little Su Bao pursed her lips, a determined look on her pretty little face.
"Princess, you mustn't!" Liu Wei frowned deeply. His master treated Su Bao like his own daughter!
Putting aside Princess Su Bao's identity, I cannot allow Su Bao to be in danger just for this reason alone.
Besides, Xiao Su Bao even saved Fu Man Duo!
Tang Cheng paused slightly. He had just planned to let Su Bao leave while he stayed behind to attract the attention of these people.
"She can't leave!" This time, it was the nameless old Taoist priest who spoke!
The nameless old Taoist priest had a complicated look in his eyes, and he took a deep breath.
If he could, he would prefer that his junior sister not encounter any danger.
But this time, it's a matter of cause and effect between Su Bao and the people of An County.
Tang Cheng clenched his fist slightly, then took a deep breath. He couldn't just hold Su Bao casually because she was still young, but he still reached out and patted his little sister's head.
"Don't be afraid, big brother will be with you!" Although Xiao Su Bao looked very calm, Tang Cheng could tell that the little girl was actually a little scared inside.
Looking at the little girl's appearance, Tang Cheng felt a pang of tenderness.
"Me too!" Mo Bao also stood on the other side of Su Bao. The boy was now only half a head shorter than Tang Cheng and looked like a young man who was already half a year old.
Tang Cheng paused, looking into the boy's eyes, and vaguely sensed that something was amiss.
That look seems so familiar!
"Me too!" Yun Qi came over, her usually carefree face now showing a hint of seriousness.
Su Liang looked at them and, without giving them any further thought, silently stood next to Xiao Su Bao.
As for Liu Wei and the advisor standing to the side, they exchanged a glance and remained as quiet as chickens.
"Princess, please don't rush. I'll go out and take a look first!"
Liu Wei sighed, feeling that he could only stall for as long as possible!
Having said that, it's not that some things simply can't be delayed.
He had just lifted his foot when he heard shouts coming from outside.
"Tang Susu, come out! Our Prince knows you're in the Anxian County government office!" A voice rang out, giving everyone a headache.
"This is the Lion's Roar of Buddhism!" Yun Qi's expression changed slightly as she stood protectively in front of the group.
"Quickly, open your mouths slightly, swallow repeatedly, and cover your ears!"
Yun Qi's expression changed slightly. The person who had been chasing her before only knew this Lion's Roar, but his skill was not as good as the one in front of her.
The person he killed was a Buddhist.
Thinking of the Flesh Monk, and now with this Lion's Roar, his eyes turned slightly cold.
The others followed Yun Qi's advice and indeed felt much better.
Because Liu Wei was the weakest in martial arts and was closest to the gate, both of them had slight bleeding from their ears and eyes.
"How domineering!" The nameless old Taoist snorted coldly, then came out holding a bell.
He chanted incantations and held a bell in his hand. Even though he was just shaking it gently, it could inspire a sense of submission in people's hearts.
For the monk, the sound of the imperial bell seemed to instantly enter his soul.
The monk trembled, his face turned pale, and he covered his ears, but it was to no avail.
"Ah..." His soul trembled, and he couldn't help but roar out.
The nameless old Taoist felt that it was about time, so he stopped wielding the Emperor Bell.
"Hmph, do you really think I'm a pushover?" The nameless old Taoist's face turned pale, but he still spoke with his neck stiff.
Little Su Bao looked at the Emperor Bell with some curiosity: "Senior brother, can I take a look at this... Emperor Bell?"
Little Su Bao had only heard his master mention some of it.
The Emperor Bell: The Yellow Emperor met with the gods at the peak of Kunlun, where the Heavenly Emperor bestowed upon him the Emperor Bell.
In their Taoist tradition, there is also the saying, "Holding the Emperor's Bell, carrying fire for ten thousand miles, the flowing bell rings eight times." This is what the Heavenly Soldiers carry. It is also called the Fire Bell…
When Xiao Su Bao thought of the Emperor Bell Mantra that her master had once taught her, her eyes lit up slightly.
He then proclaimed: "Mountains and rivers, all spirits, be terrified at my command! The Great Dao of Calamity, the essence of Heaven, the sun and moon, eternally secure! All demons and stone gods, mountains strike at my command, rivers bow in welcome! So be it!"
In an instant, the once peaceful night was suddenly filled with a fierce wind, and it seemed that something was moving around in the Emperor and Empress's presence.
Little Su Bao instinctively looked outside.
The Emperor Bell Curse has the power to summon gods and exorcise demons. Little Su Bao did not sense the appearance of the gods at this moment, but only vaguely saw a wisp of black energy rising up.
The King of Yizhou, who was originally in the luxurious carriage, changed his expression slightly and his body began to tremble.
His eyes turned bloodshot, and there seemed to be some great terror in them.
"Who is performing a séance?" he cursed under his breath, forming hand seals. A faint protective shield appeared around his body, and he recovered considerably.
The next instant, the King of Yizhou opened his eyes and said in an icy voice, "Charge in!"
Since there's a variable here, he'll eliminate it!
The moment the King of Yizhou finished speaking, the soldiers, clad in black armor, charged straight in.
The county magistrate's soldiers were no match for them; they were killed as soon as they put up a fight.
Xiao Su Bao and the others had already come out. Upon seeing the soldiers in black armor, Su Liang's expression changed slightly: "Emperor Wenxiao's surprise attack!"
Emperor Wenxiao was the father of the late emperor, and his posthumous title was Wenxiao.
Emperor Wenxiao once had a special army of 20,000 men, but when it was passed down to the late emperor, only 10,000 men remained, and the remaining 10,000 soldiers disappeared without a trace.
Rumors circulated that Emperor Wenxiao passed on his 10,000 elite troops to his youngest son, the Prince of Yizhou.
When the Prince of Yizhou was young, Emperor Wenxiao had him late in life. Fearing that the Prince of Yizhou would be harmed, Emperor Wenxiao showed him great respect.
This King of Yizhou is actually younger than the current King.
"Be careful! These extraordinary soldiers are impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire. Legend has it that they have no weaknesses!"
The nameless old Taoist priest spoke from the side, a hint of mystery in his eyes.
He almost got in back then, but he wasn't lucky enough to get in; he tripped and fell.
I initially felt it was a pity, but now it seems I was just lucky.
These extraordinary soldiers can no longer be called human.
They were clearly being controlled by something.
Xiao Su Bao frowned, recalling the black aura they had seen when they passed through Yizhou.
Looking at the soldiers in front of him, they instantly matched up!
"Such a dense aura of malevolence! These elite soldiers must have killed countless people to create this kind of malevolent energy!" The nameless old Taoist said this, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Not only him, but Su Liang and the others beside him also became a little nervous when they heard this.
Xiao Su Bao pursed her lips, then thought of something. She took out a dagger from her bosom and secretly slashed her palm.
The nameless old Taoist's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously turned around to look.
"Junior sister, no!"
The nameless old Taoist priest hurriedly called out.
But it was too late. Little Su Bao formed a hand seal, then pinched the bell and chanted a spell that he couldn't understand.
The next instant, lightning flashed across the sky.
The little white dragon had flown into the sky at some point, weaving through the clouds, with streaks of lightning gathering within them.
The white dragon seemed to have amplified the power of the lightning.
The next instant, Xiao Su Bao's voice rang out: "Thunder, fall!"
Almost instantly, bolts of lightning struck down from the sky, illuminating the entire county government office as if it were daytime.
Lightning continued to strike, one after another, hitting the surprise troops.
The soldiers' bodies were stiff, and a faint growl could be heard.
The King of Yizhou sat up straight instantly, his face turning deathly pale.
He formed a hand seal and then moved even faster than Xiao Su Bao.
A series of black wisps flashed in the eyes of the King of Yizhou, as if they were tangible.
The elite troops, who had been trembling, attacked Xiao Su Bao and the others once again.
"ah!"
The silent, unseen soldiers let out a shrill roar, as if they were evil spirits from the underworld.
Xiao Su Bao's brows were thin and delicate. Suddenly, the Emperor Bell began to shake, and then the little girl murmured something.
A golden pattern appeared between her eyebrows, and her eyes were edged with gold.
The little girl danced lightly, like a fairy amidst thunder and lightning.
She murmured syllables that were difficult to understand, her eyes filled with a sense of compassion.
"Souls return to the underworld, the netherworld paves the way, by the Yellow Springs River, I beseech you all!"
Little Su Bao spoke those last four sentences with exceptional clarity.
Almost simultaneously, the sky and earth changed color, and a pitch-black door appeared and disappeared.
It appears to have the words "Gate of Hell" on it, but upon closer inspection, the sign is drooping, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
Little Su Bao didn't care about all that. Her voice was ethereal and had a unique charm, vaguely like a mother calling in your ear.
The next instant, those surprise soldiers headed towards the black gate.
Before anyone could react, the surprise troops vanished from their spot.
Liu Wei had already fainted, and even those who hadn't were too shocked to say anything.
Only the nameless old Taoist priest stared wide-eyed at his junior sister with surprise in his eyes.
God knows just how surprised he was.
They can't summon the underworld here; to be precise, nobody knows if the underworld even exists.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the nameless old Taoist priest would never have believed that a person could summon the gates of hell!
The heavens and earth trembled slightly, as if something was pressing down.
Xiao Su Bao frowned, biting her lip tightly, and raised her clear eyes.
"No, they all have to go down!"
Xiao Su Bao said in a hoarse voice.
Then the little girl seemed a bit angry, and there was even more blood on her little hands, and her face turned even paler.
Something seemed to be faintly visible in the void.
The nameless old Taoist priest standing to the side was too afraid to move!
Those who cultivate the Dao are most sensitive to the energy field between heaven and earth. Just now, he felt as if he was being watched!
If it weren't for Xiao Su Bao's timely intervention, he felt he would have been crushed to death; that feeling was truly terrifying!
The nameless old Taoist breathed a sigh of relief, but his gaze toward Little Su Bao became somewhat complicated again.
The little girl was clearly very young, but when she stood there, she gave people a sense of inexplicable peace of mind.
The little girl has really shouldered too much.
However, these are things they want to help with but cannot do.
She represents so much!
"You guys do have some tricks up your sleeves!"
At that moment, a man dressed in a black python robe stepped out, his face carrying a hint of coldness.
A pair of eyes fell on Xiao Su Bao.
At this moment, the last surprise attack force had already entered the black gate.
The King of Yizhou didn't want to come out, but he also wanted to see what Xiao Su Bao had grown up to look like.
Looking at the young girl before him, the King of Yizhou narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold and aloof.
"Tang Susu, I'm giving you a chance. Be my daughter, and I'll give you anything you want from now on, how about that?"
The King of Yizhou stood alone in the darkness, with a fierce wind howling and lightning flashing overhead, but none of it struck.
He seemed to belong to the night, his eyes were crystal clear, yet they carried an eerie quality.
"How is it?" The King of Yizhou curled his lips into a radiant smile.
A bolt of lightning struck in front of him, but the King of Yizhou remained unchanged, a faint smile in his eyes as he continued to look at Little Su Bao.
"No way!" Little Su Bao frowned, her clear eyes gleaming with a faint golden light, carrying an air of sacred inviolability.
The King of Yizhou narrowed his eyes, his voice turning slightly colder: "So you're determined to oppose me? You killed the woman I love; there's a karmic connection between us..."
The King of Yizhou paused slightly, then said softly, "I can kill you!"
His voice was extremely calm, as if he were simply asking you how the weather was today.
His eyes showed no anger, sorrow, or joy; they even lacked a trace of human emotion.
Xiao Su Bao frowned slightly, seeing a strange familiarity in the King of Yizhou.
That familiarity made the little girl extremely uncomfortable.
"Have I seen you before?" Little Su Bao suddenly asked, looking at the King of Yizhou.
Even though it was their first time meeting, Xiao Su Bao had a feeling of déjà vu.
The King of Yizhou curled his lips, a strange look in his eyes.
"Perhaps... we met in a past life!" His voice was very soft, but in an instant, thunder roared, as if it wanted to shatter him into pieces.
However, each attempt to get close was in vain.
Thunder flashed, filled with resentment yet utterly helpless.
“Following me might lead to a different ending for you, Su Bao, what do you say?” King Yizhou said softly, his voice seemingly concealing another emotion.
Xiao Su Bao instinctively shook her head, the little girl pursing her lips as she stood in front of the crowd.
Her clothes fluttered in the wind, and she held her hands in a lotus shape in front of her chest.
The golden mark between his brows shimmered with light.
Faintly, a faint energy seemed to be dissipating outwards.
The two locked eyes, and the King of Yizhou's gaze toward Xiao Su Bao grew increasingly intense, as if he were about to pounce on her at any moment.
Just then, Mo Bao suddenly appeared and stood in front of the little girl, blocking her way.
"You! Even after losing everything, you remain so stubborn. But the world is vast and unpredictable. You can protect it for a time, but not forever. We are bound by karma, and this time, you cannot escape!"
The King of Yizhou suddenly approached. He raised his hand and waved it gently. Mo Bao felt as if a powerful monster had appeared in front of him, as if the monster was about to devour him in an instant.
At that moment, Xiao Su Bao grabbed his hand.
The little girl and Mo Bao came together to face the King of Yizhou.
The King of Yizhou's expression changed slightly, and his eyes showed a strange look.
"You actually..."
Before he could say anything more, a figure suddenly attacked him.
Wang Mingtian's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he formed hand seals with astonishing speed.
The King of Yizhou looked at Wang Mingtian, then glanced at Xiao Subao, and then smiled!
"I have plenty of time. I'm sure next time, you'll be begging me!"
The King of Yizhou turned and disappeared from the spot.
Apart from Xiao Su Bao, Mo Bao, Wang Mingtian, and the nameless old Taoist priest, everyone else in the county government office had already fainted.
"Are you alright?" Wang Mingtian asked Xiao Subao calmly.
"Master, am I an old acquaintance of his?" Xiao Su Bao looked at Wang Mingtian with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Wang Mingtian was taken aback, and immediately went to the little girl.
He looked at the little girl carefully, and only after confirming that she knew nothing did he breathe a slight sigh of relief, though a strange look still lingered in his eyes.
"No, you've never met before!"
After Wang Mingtian finished speaking, his brows furrowed and his chest heaved violently.
"Who said that? Tang Susu, we know each other. You used to call me..."
Before the sound had even faded, Wang Mingtian suddenly attacked, sending a bolt of lightning crashing down towards the source of the sound.
This time, even Xiao Su Bao felt an overwhelming pressure from the heavens and earth that was extremely terrifying.
"Master!"
Little Su Bao rushed over anxiously, not caring about anything else at that moment!
Wang Mingtian coughed up black blood clots, his face ashen white as a sheet of paper.
The nameless old Taoist priest rushed over and stuffed a pill into Wang Mingtian's mouth.
With a dark expression, he said, "You're just showing off. Do you think you're going to survive?"
"Why were you so impulsive? If you die, what will happen to the Great Shang Kingdom? What will happen to us?"
After the nameless old Taoist finished speaking, he took the wine gourd from Wang Mingtian's waist and hurriedly poured it into Wang Mingtian's mouth.
Xiao Su Bao also became nervous. She looked at her master and senior brother and couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, what exactly is going on with Master?"
The nameless old Taoist priest looked grim, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word. This was not a matter he could interfere with!
Moreover...
The nameless old Taoist sighed and then said, "Alright, none of that is the most important thing. Let's take this old fellow back to Tangjia Village first!"
As soon as the nameless old Taoist finished speaking, a person rushed in through the door.
It turned out to be Doctor Song.
Dr. Song looked increasingly older; in just three or four years, he had a lot more gray hair.
He rushed in and took out the pills he had made and fed them to his master.
"I'm fine, you don't need to give me these pills!" Wang Mingtian refused.
"No, Master, all my skills are thanks to you. I know I'm not talented enough; this is my last bit of skill, Master..."
Dr. Song was as nervous as a child.
Wang Mingtian looked at Doctor Song, who seemed even older than himself, and sighed.
This child is exactly the same as when he was little, so stubborn.
Wang Mingtian patted Doctor Song's head before saying, "Alright, let's go back to the village. He won't be coming over for a while!"
Just as Wang Mingtian had predicted, the King of Yizhou disappeared!
After returning to the village, the people who had been monitoring Tangjia Village disappeared, as did the people from the King of Yizhou.
Lan Feng somehow found out about the news and rushed over early the next morning.
When he arrived in the village and saw that Xiao Su Bao was safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lan Feng wanted to say something to the girl, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
The two are said to be uncle and nephew, but in reality, they don't spend much time together.
Su Bao poured Lan Feng a cup of tea, while Sun Cuihua pulled Tang Cheng downstairs with her.
They left the space to the two of them.
After a long pause, Lan Feng finally said, "Is there anything you need? You can tell your uncle..."
But then I thought about it again and realized it was impossible.
This little girl probably has everything she needs now!
After all, Xiao Su Bao is now a princess, while he... is just a seventh-rank county official.
Lan Feng suddenly felt uneasy, unsure of how to face Xiao Su Bao.
Hearing that the little girl was in danger, he rushed over, but when he saw Su Bao in front of him, his heart was filled with extremely complicated feelings.
Xiao Su Bao looked at Lan Feng with a faint smile on her face, but there was a hint of aloofness in her expression.
The little girl seemed to sense Lan Feng's unease and immediately said, "Uncle, don't worry, I do have something I'd like to ask you for a favor!"
Xiao Su Bao looked at Lan Feng solemnly, and the latter couldn't help but straighten his back.
"You say it!" He stared intently at Xiao Su Bao, his eyes filled with seriousness.
Xiao Subao paused for a moment and said, "Tangjia Village is probably being watched by the King of Yizhou's people now. I would appreciate it if you would take care of the village a little after I leave!"
Lan Feng was taken aback, but felt a slight warmth in his heart. In fact, even if Xiao Su Bao hadn't said that, he would have been more careful.
The young girl probably said these things to avoid embarrassing herself.
When he looked at Xiao Su Bao, he felt a deep sense of guilt.
If I hadn't misjudged people back then, Xiao Su Bao's life might have been better.
He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to start speaking.
"Okay!" Lan Feng paused for a moment, then said it anyway.
Silence fell between the two again. Little Su Bao looked at her uncle, but a cute little face inexplicably popped into her mind.
But then again, it seemed impossible.
Xiao Su Bao suddenly remembered Lan Erlang, and after a pause, she still spoke to Lan Feng: "Uncle, before, Second Uncle was taken away by... Xiao Zhou's third son to threaten me!"
"What? When did this happen? Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
"How dare the third brother! He has such audacity!"
Lan Feng stood up excitedly and looked at Xiao Su Bao nervously.
Now that he only has a few relatives left, he is naturally very worried.
Xiao Su Bao shook her head, then said, "I'm fine, but my second uncle was seriously injured and will probably have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair!"
Although Xiao Su Bao and the others managed to rescue Lan Erlang that day, he was already crippled. If it weren't for Xiao Su Bao and Wang Mingtian's excellent medical skills, Lan Erlang might have died on the spot.
Little Su Bao couldn't dislike her second uncle; he was always very kind to her whenever he returned to the Lan family.
No matter what he does outside, he always brings me lots of delicious food and fun things when he comes back!
She originally wanted to raise Lan Erlang on the estate, but Lan Erlang refused and insisted on leaving.
He said he felt guilty towards Xiaosubao and didn't deserve how good Xiaosubao was to him.
He later learned from the servants about the life Xiao Su Bao and Lan Shu Yu were living, and he felt extremely sad.
The one who made the mistake was his own mother. The only thing he could do was stay away from Xiao Su Bao and not let Xiao Su Bao feel disgusted by him.
"Second brother..." Lan Feng frowned slightly, his heart filled with complicated feelings.
He didn't get along well with any of his brothers, except for Lan Erlang!
Lan Erlang is very kind; he is his father's son!
As the eldest brother, Lan Feng had no choice but to act as his father in his current situation.
"Yes, I'll have someone go and bring him over!"
Lan Feng looked at the grown-up Xiao Su Bao and felt a mix of emotions.
The two exchanged a few more words, and Xiao Su Bao inadvertently glanced at Lan Feng's face.
Suddenly paused.
It seems like my uncle is about to have some good news, but...
"Uncle, do you have any happy events to celebrate recently?"
Little Su Bao asked, but her face didn't look very good!
Lan Feng was slightly taken aback, wondering why Xiao Su Bao was asking this, but he still smiled and nodded.
The woman he was going to marry this time was just a small-time merchant's daughter.
As for that night of passion, he felt guilty, but he had been searching for that girl for so long.
He only learned last year that the girl was dead.
He had been feeling upset for a long time.
If he hadn't accidentally bumped into that girl, he probably wouldn't have married her.
Xiao Su Bao frowned even more for a longer time. She could tell that Lan Feng's marriage was indeed quite turbulent!
After a pause, Xiao Su Bao finally spoke: "If Uncle trusts me, why don't we go back and investigate thoroughly to see if we can find anything else? As for that merchant girl... she's not a good match!"
Lan Feng was taken aback and subconsciously looked up at the little girl.
Xiao Su Bao had regained her composure, as if what had just been said had nothing to do with her.
In the end, Lan Feng finally agreed. He knew Xiao Su Bao's abilities and knew she wouldn't disobey.
"I understand, thank you, Su Bao!"
After Lan Feng finished speaking, he secretly left some silver before departing.
After seeing Lan Feng off, Xiao Su Bao found a money bag in a corner when she returned.
There wasn't much money inside, only a little over three hundred taels of silver notes.
For little Su Bao now, this amount of money might not mean much, but...
"Let's donate this silver to the village school!" After thinking for a moment, Xiao Su Bao did not refuse, but instead spoke to Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng nodded, then, recalling what he had overheard at the door, he couldn't help but ask, "Is Magistrate Lan's marriage also unsuitable?"
It wasn't that he liked to inquire, but now that there were more and more people coming and going in the Tang family's neighborhood, he had heard some things.
I heard that two years ago, someone proposed marriage to Lan Feng, but Lan Feng disagreed at the time.
After some things happened, Lan Feng finally relented and started talking about marriage.
But the girl disagreed.
Then, just this time, he heard that the merchant girl cried every day and was unwilling to marry Lan Feng.
Lan Feng, however, seemed unaware of this.
"Yes, it should be!" Xiao Su Bao noticed something was off about Lan Feng's marital palace earlier.
Moreover, considering Lan Feng's destiny, the person he was originally destined to be with has already severed their ties with him.
If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. What surprised Xiao Su Bao the most was that Lan Feng was destined to be without a wife!
Therefore, he will never have a wife in this life.
However, his children's palace indicates that he will have two children, a son and a daughter!
A face popped into Xiao Su Bao's head!
She thought it was impossible!
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the little girl's expression change repeatedly, Tang Cheng couldn't help but lean over, hand her a handful of fried peas, and then asked her a question.
"Well, my uncle... he's a bit of a problem!"
Little Su Bao rubbed her temples and sighed.
Lan Feng had mixed feelings about himself, and so did he about Lan Feng!
But thinking of her mother, Xiao Su Bao sighed.
"Let's go to Lan County in a few days!"
In the end, Xiao Su Bao decided to go and see how things went.
At this moment, Wang Mingtian came in. He reached into Xiao Subao's bowl and grabbed a handful of peas before saying, "Lan County is a good place to go, but your uncle will be in for a bit of trouble this time!"
Wang Mingtian glanced at Xiao Subao, then continued munching on peas, "If you want to go, bring a lot of people with you; they might come in handy!"
In fact, Lan Feng was originally in great danger this time, and might even have lost his life.
But because he left behind three hundred taels of silver, which was then given to the village school by Xiao Su Bao, he had a slightly better chance.
Looking at the demeanor of these experts, Tang Cheng was momentarily at a loss for words.
In the end, he could only say, "Mr. Wang, do you think any of my good-for-nothing sons can learn your skills?"
Wang Mingtian raised an eyebrow, then curled his lip and said, "Most people in our line of work have some shortcomings or deficiencies. Are you sure you want your son to give it a try?"
Tang Cheng had heard about these things before, but he still felt sorry for Wang Mingtian when he heard him say it.
He secretly glanced at Xiao Su Bao, wondering if his little sister was lacking anything.
Wang Mingtian was amused by his look and said, "Alright, hurry up and prepare the food. Don't think about those things. Fate is not something you can just peek at!"
Xiao Su Bao rested in Tangjia Village for two days before heading to Lan County.
In the past few days, Lan Feng indeed discovered some problems.
At this moment, Lan Feng's brows were furrowed, and his eyes held a hint of coldness!
"So, you were unaware of all this?" Lan Feng asked the servant beside him, his tone unfriendly.
"Master..." The servant wanted to say something, but Lan Feng's gaze made him unable to continue.
"My lord, there's no use saying all this now!" The clerk frowned, his face not looking good.
That merchant was an imperial merchant!
"Not necessarily!" Just then, a crisp voice rang out.
