arrel from beneath them.When they opened the barrel, a pungent smell hit them. However, the soldiers ignored it and poured the liquid from the barrel onto the vegetation at the foot of the mountain.As...On the road to Liangzhou City, a carriage swayed along, escorted by several knights riding ahead and behind it.

"Old Lin, I said it beforehand. I can help you with your business, but let me be honest with you, it's not safe here. Once..."

"Young Master Zhang, you don't need to say that. Businessmen value integrity, and we understand that."

"So, that's settled then"

"That's settled then." Lin Weihua beamed, and then pulled out several silver notes from his bosom, handing them to Zhang Liyang. "Here are four million taels of silver. Take a look."

His eyes glanced at the silver note, and Zhang Liyang's face instantly broke into a wide grin. "I trust Old Brother Lin."

Just now I was lamenting my poverty, but in a blink of an eye, I've earned four million taels of silver. Zhang Liyang's heart blossomed with joy.

"Fatass, who let you sit inside the carriage Get out here right now."

"I… I'm hurt!"

"Still alive." Zhang Liyang got on the carriage, pulled He Houde out directly, and threw him onto a horse nearby. "You ride this horse."

These horses still belonged to Lin Weihua's attendants, unfortunately they all died in battle.

According to Lin Weihua, Lin Weihua originally planned to go to Feilong City to seek refuge with relatives, but he found out that his relatives had moved to the Great乾 Imperial City. Therefore, he could only detour to the Imperial City. Because he was also afraid of being pursued, he chose this small road, which is why he encountered Zhang Liyang and a few others.

The only difference was that even though he chose the back road, Lin Weihua's pursuers still caught up to him, while Zhang Liyang remained completely silent.

When they found a secluded place to rest in the evening, perhaps because he trusted Zhang Liyang, Lin Weihua started snoring loudly. Even the girl who always stayed by Lin Weihua's side had fallen asleep early.

About the girl's identity, Lin Weihua didn't say anything, and Zhang Liyang didn't ask. Both parties maintained a certain distance of privacy.

"Master, wouldn't it be too much to bring both of them"

All along the way, Guan Fengsi knew from Zhang Liyang's daily arrangements that this trip would not be smooth sailing. But even so, Zhang Liyang still brought two people with him. Was it really just for the four million

As for those who had already been taken over by the Blood-Insecting Technique, Zhang Liyang did not hold back much in his revelations.

"Four million is one reason," Zhang Liyang glanced at Lin Weihua and slowly spoke, "There's also the fact that I want to give myself another choice."

"Do you think someone who can come up with four million taels of silver in one breath is an ordinary person"

"No."

Guan Fengsi shook his head confidently. He had been protecting the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce under Zhang Liyang for a while, and during that time, when almost all the jade near Feilong City was monopolized by the chamber of commerce, he probably didn't earn even four million taels of silver.

"Since they aren't ordinary people, they must have paths we don't. " Zhang Liyang's eyes flickered with light, "I don't know how important He Houde is, but since they secretly escorted him here, he absolutely cannot have an accident."

“The more routes there are, the higher our security level!”

"The great one is wise!"

Upon hearing Zhang Liyang's words, Guan Fengsi bowed and paid him a compliment.

Actually, there were still some things Zhang Liyang didn't say. Although Huai Dongdao was far from Feilong City, Zhang Liyang had a general understanding of Huai Dongdao, especially the major forces. Zhang Liyang had some insight into them in his heart.

A force capable of producing four million taels of silver in one go, there are few such families in the entire Huai-dong region.

Excluding those with official backing, there are only a handful of martial arts sects and influential families left.

"Last name Lin" Zhang Liyang closed his eyes slightly, "There aren't many influential families in Huai Dong Dao with the surname Lin."

After a night of uneventful travel, Zhang Liyang and his companions continued their journey the next day. By the afternoon of the second day, they could already see the towering city walls of Liangzhou City.

"Lao Lin, tonight we're probably going to have to rest in Liangzhou City for the night."

"I'll do whatever you say." Lin Weihua was very confident in Zhang Liyang.

With Zhang Liyang's medicine and protection, Lin Weihua has been living comfortably these past few days. Even his complexion has improved considerably.

It wasn't that Zhang Liyang didn't want to leave at night, but Liangzhou City had a regulation forbidding boats from sailing on the docks after dark.

Luckily, Liangzhou City had a large population. Among the constant flow of people at the city gate, Zhang Liyang and his companions were not particularly noticeable.

After a hearty meal at an ordinary tavern near the docks, Zhang Liyang and his companions all decided to freshen up.

The early summer weather was already hot enough to make people sweat profusely. Although Zhang Liyang's cultivation had reached a point where he was basically immune to the heat and cold, he felt a little uncomfortable after not taking a bath for several days.

At night, while He Houde, who shared the same room with Zhang Liyang, had already gone to sleep, Zhang Liyang sat on a chair and kept reciting scriptures and refining medicine pills.

"Hmm"

In the darkness, a spark of electricity lit up, that was Zhang Liyang's eyes opening.

After so many days, it's finally here!

The impending danger did not cause Zhang Liyang to worry, but rather made his heart settle.

The unknown is what makes things unfathomable. Sudden danger, on the other hand, exposes the enemies in the dark to the light.

I'd like to see who would want He Houde's life.

Without leaving the room, Zhang Liyang stood quietly in the darkness. His eyes closed slightly as he looked toward the window of the room.

In the stillness, a small bamboo pipe was inserted into the room. Then, wisps of green smoke emerged and blew towards the interior of the room.

"Poison"

Zhang Liyang had originally planned to wait for the other party to enter, but the other party launched a poison attack instead, causing Zhang Liyang's plan to fall through.

I can't guarantee that this poison smoke will kill Ho Hak-tak. Cheung Lai-yang acted like lightning, his palm passing through the window and striking the figure outside in the chest.

Bang!

The figure flew backward, falling in mid-air and dying instantly.

Sounds were particularly distinct in the darkness. Not only did they wake Guan Fengsi and his companions, but they also drew the attention of the assailants who had attacked in the middle of the night.

Four people

Zhang Liyang, who had already arrived outside the room, looked at the four figures in the darkness and frowned slightly.

Although the number of people was small, each and every one of them possessed extraordinary cultivation at the second ring. This forced Zhang Liyang to re-evaluate this escort mission.

The first strike was able to mobilize four second-ring odd meridian experts. The enemy's strength is probably extraordinary.

Seeing their night raid fail, the remaining few didn't waste any words and charged directly at Zhang Liyang.

"You go protect him!" Zhang Liyang's voice rang out, causing Guan Fengsi and the others who were about to come to his aid to step back. Zhang Liyang transformed into a phantom and darted towards them.

On the other side, Lin Weihua, who was also awakened by the commotion, saw this scene and his face twitched instantly.

I thought I had found a powerful helper, but I didn't expect that this powerful helper also had a powerful enemy. This left Lin Weihua feeling extremely speechless and a little confused about whether this step he took led him out of danger or into an even greater danger.e several figures standing on it."Legends come and go, that's the way of the world!"Muttering to himself, Zhang Liyang took a step forward and approached the speedboat.This is not the first wave of pe...
