C161 A grudge that will not end until one of them dies
Gongsun Zaitian did not care about the follow-up actions in his family. Since this matter was caused by his own mother, he naturally left it to her to take care of the aftermath. Hence, after washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Gongsun Ze Tian took Leng Nuohan and the little girl Lan Er and headed towards the south city gate tower.
On one hand, it was because the city gate was high, and the so called 'standing high and watching far' was precisely this principle. On the other hand, near the south gate, there would be a big show waiting for Wu Daode. If one wanted to watch a good show, one could see it from the top of the city gate tower as long as one sat there and waited.
"I wonder what they are preparing to do. They can't just let me down!" Gongsun Ztian said while patting the fence.
"How could that be?! You've carefully planned everything so that those who know what's good will cooperate fully. Moreover, you've made Auntie Murong cooperate and invited all the big powers and family heads to a place. Without them there won't be anyone who would cause trouble for you!" Leng Nuohan was full of confidence as she comforted Gongsun Zaitian.
"Hmm, then let's be a good audience today!" Gongsun Ztian jumped onto the railing, looked into the distance, and stared at the movements in the city.
"Hehe, it seems that not only will Wu Daode suffer, your attitude tells me that what you are preparing is a huge drama, and that you are not worried that someone will disrupt the situation today, but that someone will!" Leng Nuohan looked at Gongsun Zaitian for a long time before she spoke.
"Oh? "How do you know?" Gongsun Ze Tian turned his head with a smile on his face and asked Leng Nuohan who was also extremely intelligent.
"It's simple. Although today's show is good, you didn't put it to heart. You were looking into the distance just now, and I'm afraid that the people who are truly unlucky in this show aren't some trivial characters like you. Did I say anything wrong? " Leng Nuohan slightly nodded, but her bright eyes flashed with a trace of light.
"You, who do you think you are so smart?" Gongsun Ztian shook his head. He didn't know if he was lucky or unfortunate to have met such a smart woman.
"You really saw it coming. Hurry up and tell me, who are you going to deal with?" Leng Nuohan asked.
"This time, I'm not dealing with a single person, but a lot of people!" Gongsun Ztian looked into the distance and firmly began speaking, but the content of his words were already unclear.
"Oh?" Leng Nuohan softly questioned for a moment, but did not say anything more.
"That person cannot be defeated just because of this matter, but this matter can cause him pain for a very long time! For him to withdraw from the stage like this, how could there be such a cheap deal? I want to let him have nothing, I want to see what else he can rely on! " Gongsun Ztian said with a face full of resentment.
Gongsun Zaitian should be resentful, he hated his enemy for being merciless, he also hated his incompetence, the soldiers who had fallen, the scenes of their deaths, they kept lingering in his mind, he did not dare to forget them for even a moment. Those people he had personally brought along to die, those cute people, even though they knew it was death, they did not hesitate to follow him to die, they were all shouting for him to leave, they used their lives to defend him, how could he bear such kindness? They all had families, but how much had he considered for them?
"This enmity must be avenged!" Even if those people were still alive in this era, perhaps he would still meet them again. He might be able to take them on some extremely dangerous missions, but this enmity could not be forgotten just like this. Those people with hidden dangers should not exist in this world.
"Is this person your enemy?" Leng Nuohan could feel the change in Gongsun Ze Tian. His face was ice-cold and filled with killing intent, which was extremely contradictory to his usual self. It could be seen that the 'he' Gongsun Ze Tian had mentioned was someone that Gongsun Ze Tian hated to the bones.
"Blood enmity!" Gongsun Ztian spat out these two words through gritted teeth.
"You don't give up until you die?" Leng Nuohan asked.
"I won't rest until I die!" Gongsun Zaitian confirmed.
"En, he will also be my nemesis until the end!" Leng Nuohan's expression was equally cold, as she solemnly nodded, and said with a solemn face.
"I don't want you to get infected with these filthy things!" Gongsun Zaitian dispersed the killing intent in his heart, looked at Leng Nuohan who was beside him with a gentle and affectionate expression, and said softly with a tone of helplessness. This was because Gongsun Ze knew that the things this woman decided to do would not change.
Even though they had not known each other for long, Gongsun Ztian still felt as if they had met millions of years ago. They knew each other in front of the eyes, that they had fallen in love millions of years ago. She understood him as if he was familiar with her. Perhaps this was what it meant to be 'tacit understanding'.
"Even if the whole world thinks I'm dirty, as long as I'm clean and flawless in front of you, what does the rest have to do with me!" Leng Nuohan said heroically to Gongsun Zaitian.
"Haha, what does that have to do with me? Well said!" Gongsun Ze Tian was also affected by the heroic spirit, he laughed out loud and repeated Leng Nuohan's words.
"Young Master, Young Miss, the County Governor Manor's fleet of vehicles is starting to move!" Lan Er timely reminded.
"Really!?" It seems like we are officially here. Madam, please come on stage! " Gongsun Ze Tian invited Leng Nuohan in a very gentlemanly manner, but the location of the invitation was on the roof of the pavilion.
Wu Daode changed his pants again. Although he did not admit that it was mud, but he did not say that it was not mud either, but everyone present could smell a faint stench from his body, and they all knew that even if they admitted that it was mud, Wu Daode was probably the only one who deceived them.
The team set out smoothly and followed the route they had set. Leading the group was a middle-aged man who was dressed like a shrewd merchant. He commanded the people behind him to follow the team as they pushed the cart or pulled the carriage forward.
"Is this person reliable?" Wu Daode stared at the man walking in front and asked Qian Jincheng.
"It's absolutely reliable. I brought him from other cities, and he's the only one who knows our business. Today, they sent a shipment of goods out of the city to a nearby city, and I gave him some silver coins to make this deal!" Qian Jincheng gave a brief explanation and also explained the transaction process.
However, he sneered in Master Qian's heart, this person was 100% sure that this person was unreliable.
"Master Qian's work is always as reassuring as ever!" Wu Daode praised Qian Jincheng's way of doing things.
"My lord is too kind, this is all due to the kindness of my master, which is why I am being paid. Today, I am not talented, and I am willing to work for my lord." Qian Jincheng said with loyalty.
"En, alright!" Wu Daode did not dare to linger on this question for too long. He was afraid that he would not have the heart to reveal himself, after all, no matter how loyal this person was, no matter how much he treated him, he would die in the end.
The team continued along the route and saw the downtown area in the distance. The downtown area was the most bustling place among the Fengyang City, when they first created it, it was mainly to make it convenient for the people outside the city, to come to the city to sell some food and vegetables for the people outside, for the city to eat, and as the population gathered, it gradually formed a place specially for the merchants to trade and sell.
This was a transaction center near the southern city gate. Wu Daode's caravan also left the city through this route.
Although there was a drought outside the city, it did not reduce the prosperity of the trading center. The crowds were even more packed, but as long as they saw a large group of people passing by, they tactfully avoided them.
Just at this moment, when Wu Daode and the caravan arrived at the center of the road, there was enough space for them to advance. Wu Daode was very satisfied with the arrangement of the route, although it was a risky move, but at the same time, he would hide his actions from the many eyes and ears inside the city.
But Wu Daode had a deep experience of what it meant to be sad from extreme happiness.
"Hey, what are you pushing? Brat, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
"So what if I am? I am willing to push you!"
Just as Wu Daode and the convoy arrived at the center of the disturbance area, two people suddenly ran out from the convoy.
"Let's see what's going on! Go and pay them to get out of the way so that they won't interfere in our affairs!" Seeing that he was in control of this matter, Wu Daode did not mind at all. In this kind of trading market, many things like this would happen every day. When one saw the county governor, the people who brought a lawsuit against him were all the same. At the end of the day, they cared about face, but when it came to face, there was no need to care about face. As such, Wu Daode who had inherited the essence of the Dao knew in his heart that these people were just scum. Normally, they would just wait for this kind of thing to happen so that they could spend some money.
But this time, Wu Daode really miscalculated, really miscalculated.
"Yes, old master. I'll head over now!" Qian Jincheng dismounted and ran to the two people in front of the convoy. But not only did Qian Jincheng not solve the problem, he was pushed away by one of them.
"Let me tell you, today, I will not be in a good mood. This face is mine for sure, obediently kneel down and kowtow to me a few times. If I am satisfied, I might even let you go." The person who was pushed said angrily.
"Oh? There really are people who aren't afraid of death. Do you really have that much face? I bet that your four taels of flesh isn't even the size of my foot, yet you still dare to speak such arrogant words." The man who pushed her replied with the same disdainful look on his face.
"Hehe, I can see that you will not shed tears until you see the coffin today. Brothers, flank this fellow!" The person who was pushed felt embarrassed and decided to speak with his fist.
"Are you the only one who knows how to play the horn? I'm not afraid of you. Brothers, greet me!" Since the other party chose not to use his brain to solve the problem, he could only use his fist to accompany him to the end.
As the two roared, two groups of people gathered on both sides, ready to fight at any moment.
Meanwhile, on the city gate tower far away, Gongsun Zaitian and company were paying attention to this' big battle '!
"Did you see that, it's almost a fight. Where did Qiu Canghai find these two extras, it's simply too suitable for the position of the dragon!" Gongsun Ze Tian was watching excitedly with Leng Nuohan and Lan Er on the rooftop of the city gate tower, hence, he said as he danced in joy.
"Well, sit down and watch! What's there to be excited about in a group fight! " Leng Nuohan rolled her eyes at Gongsun Zaitian and spoke with disdain.
"You don't understand. They're chasing hot-blooded people. Hurry up and make your move, hurry up." Gongsun Zaitian kept pointing and shouting excitedly, as if he was watching an intense side match.
"Even if it was a duel between two people, we would still have to exchange some pleasantries before the duel, not to mention such a large-scale armed conflict!" Leng Nuohan's tone was calm, she still did not feel that there was anything to be excited about, adding on to the fact that she had to speak before fighting, it seemed like everything she had seen was done in such a manner.
"Sigh, this bunch of people are too hypocritical. Don't you know the words' if you can do it, don't be a BB '? This is called maliciously increasing a story, do you understand? " Gongsun Ztian shook his head as he sighed emotionally.
