Jianghu Is Not Solitude - C46

Shopkeeper Tian narrowed his eyes and glanced at the child. What happened to his mouth? Look at him, he looks hungry and weird. He’s clearly a cunning and cunning person. If such a person were to bring him up, he might even raise a tiger! “Moreover …”

“Shopkeeper Tian, you don’t have to beat around the bush. Just tell me how much he is worth!” Fang Zhenyuan said coldly.

“Based on the current market price, I think it’s worth at most 30 taels!” Manager Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Fang Zhenyuan smiled coldly before asking, “What if the three of them work together?”

Shopkeeper Tian thought it over and over again before he said with a smile: “If nothing goes wrong, I think it would be at most one hundred taels!”

“Shopkeeper Tian!” Fang Zhenyuan shouted loudly, “Don’t go too far!”

“Chief Escort Fang, what do you mean by that?” Shopkeeper Tian asked innocently.

“I know that there is a difference between the north and the south, but we are all working for the Wishing Pavilion, and furthermore, we are all under the Chu Clan Master’s command, even if you are from the same sect, you should still put it to heart, why do you go too far without your conscience? I don’t believe that these three children are really as unbearable as you say. ” Fang Zhenyuan said angrily.

When Shopkeeper Tian heard him out, he couldn’t help but smile and said, “Chief Escort Fang, you’ve been doing this for quite some time. Don’t you know the market situation? I’m telling you the truth, why do you blame me? ”

“It’s because I know the situation that I feel that you’ve gone too far!” Fang Zhenyuan immediately pointed at Murong Yan, “This girl, she has a dignified and beautiful appearance. If you raise her into an adult, it’s possible that she won’t be the second Yan Jiuniang! And that Du Jiangsheng, at such a young age, he’s extremely intelligent. If he was slightly nurtured, it would be difficult for him to surpass Gu Yiyang. As for that third child, how could he be as useless as you say? ”

“Chief Escort Fang, you’re only half right, but you forgot the other half!” Manager Tian smiled.

“Which half?” Fang Zhenyuan said angrily.

“Although each of these three children have their own unique characteristics and are indeed good stuff, their status is special after all. If we were to nurture them, they will inevitably have to take on additional risks! Furthermore, at their age, they have long since remembered this matter. It will not be an easy task to nurture them from the beginning! ” Manager Tian smiled.

“Even so, that can’t be a reason for you to randomly name a price!” Fang Zhenyuan stared coldly at Shopkeeper Tian, and couldn’t help but laugh: “Shopkeeper Tian, are you worried that the amount of silver that you have handed over to the Hall this year will attract Sect Leader Chu’s blame? That’s why you want to use this opportunity to rip me off? If that’s the case, then I will admit defeat! ”

“Chief Escort Fang, you’re thinking too much!” Shopkeeper Tian sneered. “That’s right! “I’m a little worried that I won’t have enough money, but don’t forget, I still have a teahouse, so I have a lot of money to spend!”

“Then you are bullying me because I am not familiar with this place. I will definitely report you to Sect Head Chu!” Fang Zhenyuan said angrily.

“You will have a chance! Because in a few days, Sect Leader Chu will come to Yangzhou! ” Manager Tian said.

He wished that he could jump up and slap Shopkeeper Tian a few times. At this time, he saw a shop assistant rush in and cautiously whisper into Shopkeeper Tian’s ears. Shopkeeper Tian immediately smiled. You do not need to wait for Sect Leader Chu! ”

“What do you mean? “Could it be that he has already arrived at Yangzhou?” Fang Zhenyuan asked.

“That’s not it. Pavilion Master Wu has invited him!” Manager Tian smiled.

When Fang Zhenyuan heard this, he stared coldly at Shopkeeper Tian and said with a sneer: “Just you wait. I will speak truthfully in front of Pavilion Master Wu!”

Shopkeeper Tian’s face was full of disdain as he said, “As you wish!”

Fang Zhenyuan flung his sleeves in anger, and quickly followed the waiter out. He saw that a carriage had already been prepared outside, so he got on, and then said: “Du Fang didn’t know I came to Yangzhou, so how would Pavilion Master Wu know? “Could it be that the news of me coming to Yangzhou has already reached Pavilion Master Wu in such a short time?”

An ominous premonition quietly appeared in his heart. He was just about to get off the carriage and ask about the details when the carriage had already moved!

“Hello, Little Brother. Where is Pavilion Master Wu?” Fang Zhenyuan asked.

“He’s at the Mascot Cloud Inn!” “Yes,” the man replied.

“How did he know I was in Yangzhou?” Fang Zhenyuan asked.

“The silver-branded assassin who came with you has already paid his respects to Pavilion Master Wu!” “Yes,” the man replied.

Fang Zhenyuan was suddenly enlightened and asked: “Where’s Du Fang? How is he now? ”

“He is currently a popular figure before Pavilion Master Wu, and Hall Master Wu has intentionally arranged a banquet to welcome him. There is no need to even mention his prestige!” “Yes,” the man replied.

When Fang Zhenyuan heard this, he could not help but feel comforted and thought to himself: “Since Du Fang is being treated so courteously, then I have no reason to go against him. “Who cares about him. Since he’s already here, we might as well take care of it. When the time comes, we can just adapt to the situation!”

As for Du Fang Lai, he was indeed as the waiter had said. He was welcomed by Wu Xiangdao, causing the entire table to be filled with dishes that made one’s eyes go blurry.

After the third round of drinking, Wu Xiangdao’s face darkened, and he asked casually: “Fang Lai, how long have you been working at the Ru Yi Hall?”

Du Fang thought for a moment and immediately replied, “It’s been more than four years!”

“Oh!” “That’s the old man!” Wu Weidao sighed. “Here, let me toast you again!” All these years, you have been doing a lot of things for the Ru Yi Hall.

“This subordinate doesn’t dare!” Du Fang Lai quickly declined. “This subordinate has done his best for the Fulfillment Hall, it’s completely natural. I don’t dare to complain!”

“Drink this cup first, I have something to say!” Wu Xiangdao pointed at the wine cup in front of Du Fang Lai.

Du Fang Lai didn’t dare to refuse. He immediately raised his wine cup and downed it in one gulp before saying, “Pavilion Master Wu, even if I were to be smashed into smithereens, I wouldn’t even frown if I were to do so!”

“Good!” I was not wrong about you! ” Wu Weidao smiled and poured another cup of wine for him. Then, as if nothing had happened, he asked, “How long have you been pretending to be Gu Yiyang?”

“It’s been one year and seven months!” Du Fang said.

“In the past few months, I’ve heard that you’ve committed many cases, but there aren’t many major cases …”

“Your subordinate knows that his talents are shallow and has failed to achieve the desired result. I am willing to accept the punishment!” Du Fang Lai hastily explained.

“Don’t worry, just wait for me to finish!” Wu Xiangdao smiled faintly, “Now, you have gained quite a bit by pretending to be Gu Yiyang. Especially Ba Shu and his entourage, you have made a name for yourself there, and now many people have blamed it on Gu Yiyang. His evil reputation is growing, you can call it a miracle!”

“The hall master has the right to command, this subordinate doesn’t dare to be greedy!” Du Fang said.

“But now, we must change our plans and not let our temper take over as it used to! You may not be used to it! ” Wu Weidao laughed.

“As long as Pavilion Master Wu commands it, this subordinate will surely accomplish his mission!” Du Fang Lai said anxiously.

“And if I let you die?” Wu Weidao said with a stern expression.

“Huh?” Du Fang Lai was taken aback and his brows knitted tightly. “Is Pavilion Master Wu serious?”

“That’s right!” Wu Weidao stared at Du Fanglei’s face, his eyes unblinking.

Du Fang Lai was silent for a moment, then said with a wry smile, “My life belongs to Pavilion Master Wu. You can use it whenever you want!”

“Good!” “I want your words!” Wu Weidao lightly patted the back of Du Fang’s hand. “This is how it happened!” Because of your ruckus in Ba Shu, two disciples of the Emei Sect had their eyes on you and even chased you to Yangzhou. And then, somehow, the two of them actually walked together with people from the Cold Soul Villa, and even made a plan to force Gu Yi Yang to make a bet with Meng Chun Lou, and the wager was your head! ”

“So what’s the point of my death?” Du Fang Lai asked.

“I had originally planned for your death to make Gu Yiyang famous, but that unlucky Lu Hualong decided to stand by Gu Yiyang’s side and dared to challenge our Gu Yi Tang, so I changed my mind! Do you understand my intention to let you die in Meng Chunlou’s hands, to give the beggar a hand? ” Wu Weidao asked.

Du Fang’s mind was in a mess. He had no time to ponder over the matter, so he could only smile bitterly and say, “In any case, death is inevitable. I’ll carry out whatever Pavilion Master Wu has arranged!”

“Sigh!” To tell you the truth, I can’t bear to part with you. I have even planned for you to become the successor of the Earth Sect’s Leader, but unfortunately, I have no choice but to sacrifice you! ” Wu Weidao sighed.

“This subordinate understands!” Ever since the day I followed the pavilion master, I have disregarded life and death! ” Du Fang said.

“Well done! After you die, I will take full care of your family until I’m old! ” Wu Weidao said very seriously.

“Thank you, Hall Master!” Du Fang Lai’s face was filled with gratitude.

“Eat!” The dishes on the table are all your favorite dishes. Wu Weidao advised with a smile.

Du Fang Lai was indeed eating, but he could not taste the flavor of the dishes. He only felt that his mouth was filled with bitterness!

However, compared to the bitterness in his heart, what was this suffering to him?

The worst thing was that he had to hide the bitterness in his heart and not show it on his face. That was the most depressing thing!

Wu Weidao saw him wolfing down his food with a happy smile on his face, then asked, “Who’s outside?”

When he asked this question, immediately, someone answered from outside, “Reporting to Hall Master, Fang Zhenyuan is here!”

When Wu Weidao heard this, he stood up and said to Du Fang, “Eat slowly. I’ll go see this lunatic and chat with him again when I get back.”

“Pavilion Master Wu, please feel free!” Du Fang Lai quickly got up to send him off.

Wu Xiangdao smiled and slowly walked out of the room, leaving Du Fang Lai sitting there awkwardly.

Wu Weidao walked all the way to the door, but suddenly stopped. He looked through the gap in the door and saw Fang Zhenyuan sitting at the table. He looked around nervously, but he did not say anything.

He smiled and coughed lightly. He pushed open the door and walked in. Fang Zhenyuan cupped his fist and greeted respectfully, “This subordinate pays his respect to the hall master!”

“You’re welcome. Take a seat!” Wu Xiangdao pointed to a chair in front of the table.

How could Fang Zhenyuan dare to sit down? He waited for Wu Weidao to sit down before bravely sitting down.

“It’s been hard for you to walk the darts. It’s been hard on you!” Wu Weidao laughed.

“This subordinate serves Pavilion Master Wu, and this subordinate dares not speak of difficulties!” Fang Zhenyuan said respectfully.

“I heard you brought Murong Yan and Du Jiangsheng here. Is that true?” Wu Weidao asked.

“That’s right!” That’s right! ” Fang Zhen said from afar.

“You’re so stupid!” Wu Weidao stared coldly at Fang Zhenyuan, “What does this have to do with you?”

“Your subordinate is terrified!” A sheen of sweat appeared on Fang Zhenyuan’s forehead. Although he did not know what his mistake was, he clearly knew that he was wrong!

“Are you sure you’re not convinced?” Wu Weidao asked.

“This subordinate would not dare!” Fang Zhenyuan said in fear.

“The Murong Family is extremely famous in the martial arts world, and Murong Yan is also the beloved daughter of the Murong family’s Patriarch. How could you offer a trick to Du Fang to sell her to the Ru Yi Hall? Aren’t you trying to make Ru Yi Hall angry? ” Wu Weidao asked.

Fang Zhenyuan only felt chills behind his back, but his head felt as if it was covered in a brazier. It was extremely hot!

“Most importantly, you should never have captured Du Jiangsheng. He is being hunted down by the Beggar Gang. What would they think if they knew that we were the ones who captured him? They must have thought that we were deliberately making things difficult for them because we didn’t want them to find Du Jiangsheng! Furthermore, after Meng Chun Lou knows about this, how would she view our Ru Yi Hall? ” Wu Weidao asked.

Fang Zhenyuan did not expect things to be so complicated. He was so confused that he lost the ability to even think!

“Sect Leader Chu has only arranged for you to borrow Fang Zhenyuan’s name and also to recruit people to work for my Wishing Hall, but you are so engrossed in the Beautiful Child Plan, you can’t even tell the difference between the two. I really don’t know how Sect Head Chu led the Sky Sect!” Wu Weidao’s voice was ice-cold, but the murderous intent in his eyes was faintly discernable, causing Fang Zhenyuan to feel uneasy and almost faint.

“I’m not against having more capable people, but I hate doing nothing! What have you done all these years? ” Wu Weidao asked coldly.

When Fang Zhenyuan heard this, his heart couldn’t help but tremble. He thought to himself: “He asked me this question because he clearly wants to kill me. Whether or not he can survive will depend on his mouth!”

Thinking of this, he immediately replied, “Reporting to the hall master, this subordinate is innocent!”

“Oh? Where are you wronged? ” Wu Weidao asked.

“That Meng Chunlou killed Brother Li Zhi. He doesn’t even put our Ru Tang in his eyes! Although Fang Zhenyuan is not some martial arts expert, he and Li Zhi are brothers of the same sect. How can I watch my brother be killed while remaining indifferent?

“Therefore, the reason why I’ve captured Du Jiangsheng this time around is actually to help Li Zhi vent his anger and use the blood of his enemies to sacrifice Brother’s spirit in heaven! That’s why I came up with this idea and decided to sell Du Jiangsheng. If Hall Master Wu insists on believing that I was in the wrong, this subordinate is willing to die to thank Hall Master! ” Fang Zhenyuan’s face was filled with righteousness as he spoke each word with a sonorous tone. Anyone who saw him would not be able to help but feel sympathy for him!

When Wu Weidao heard this, he let out a faint smile and asked, “Then how do you explain Murong Yan’s situation?”

“This is purely a misunderstanding! This is because I don’t know Murong Yan, nor do I know she’s the precious daughter of the Murong Family. When Du Fang said she could be exchanged for 500 taels of silver, I thought she was selling it for cheap! ” Fang Zhenyuan laughed bitterly.

Wu Weidao stared closely at his face, his right hand lightly twirled the jade ring on his ring finger, and after a long time, he said: “You are a talent, it’s a pity that I only found you today!”
