Chapter 187 Leave easily
Wei Liu put his hands behind his back and went to the lobby of the inn to talk to the waiter.
He learned the news that the owner of the clothing store wanted to buy food from the innkeeper.
Naturally, I also knew a lot about that shop.
The boss was not an easy person to deal with. He often lowered the price of the hunters' skins, and after the clothes were made into finished products, he raised the price sharply.
In just a dozen years, their family became wealthy and well-known in Jucheng.
Originally, Wei Liu didn't want to exchange food, but unfortunately those two guys looked down on him.
Wei Liu had no more worries.
The four people on the roof will definitely take action at night.
No matter what the outcome for this boss, it is retribution for his oppression of the poor.
Wei Liu ordered a plate of beef and a pot of wine and started chatting with the waiter again.
"Uncle Liu, you are here. We are still looking for you!" Bai Zhao came over hurriedly, and Wei Liu's wine jug was empty.
"Let's go!" Wei Liu stood up, not swaying, just slightly tipsy.
Bai Zhao protected him from behind, fearing that he would fall.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine. The master is gone, and you have to support Hongmian and his daughter from now on. If you don't know how to buy things, you will be cheated sooner or later."
Wei Liu became talkative after drinking and was not as silent as usual.
Bai Zhao felt a little embarrassed by the constant chatter along the way.
"Uncle Six, I understand. I just got it wrong because I was confused. I understand all this."
Bai Zhao quickly excused himself, saying that his family really didn't know the price situation here.
This is also a reminder for them so that they won’t make mistakes in the future.
"Sixth Grandpa, it's so late, what news do you want to tell me?" Bai Jingzhi was already dressed and waiting for Wei Liu to speak.
Zhou Yue'e also came to their room at this time, ready to tell them the news she got from Wei Li.
"Let Yue'e speak first. I'll take a break here." Wei Liu smelled of alcohol, but his mind was still sober.
"Uncle Liu, some sobering pills." Seeing that he looked a little listless, Wei Hongmian directly handed a pill to Wei Liu.
Wei Liu did not refuse, "Hongmian's medical skills are getting better and better. If my old woman can be reunited with us, her illness will definitely be cured."
"We will meet." Wei Hongmian still remembered Wei Liu's wife, a heroic and cheerful woman.
When she was a girl, that aunt gave her a lot of help.
Wei Liu mentioned his old wife, lowered his head, and hid the tears in his eyes, "Yue'e, tell me quickly, what's the situation with the Prince of Yan."
Seeing him like this, Bai Jingzhi was a little surprised.
It was the first time she saw Wei Liu so depressed and lost. This man was a sentimental person.
At first she thought that Wei Liu’s wife had died in the city, but she didn’t expect that she was not dead. So where did she go?
His wife is the coach of the Eighteen Generals of the Wei family, so she should be quite capable.
In Wei Hongmian's original notes, Wei Liu's wife Gu Tinglou was mentioned. She was a woman who was no less capable than any man.
At this time, Bai Jingzhi became more interested in Gu Tinglou and hoped that this man could return to Wujiyuan alive.
Everyone saw Wei Liu's depression and fell silent.
"Yue'e, hurry up and speak!" Finally, Wei Liu spoke up, breaking the silence, "The old woman will be fine! Everyone knows about the Wei family's affairs. She will come here as soon as she gets the news."
When they were in Lingzhou, Gu Tinglou had other arrangements, so the couple went their separate ways.
Zhou Yue'e then spoke, "Jiang Lan wanted to sell us out, and he even ordered Wei Li to secretly sell the indenture..."
After hearing the whole story, Wei Liu was the first to curse, "This Prince of Yan is really useless! He thinks of these tricks every day. How can he be a royal family?"
When they were desperate and forced into a desperate situation by King Li, they extended a helping hand.
When signing the indenture contract, Wei Liu had made it clear in advance that Jiang Lan's misunderstanding had nothing to do with him.
"Jiang Lan blames Wei Li?"
Bai Jingzhi picked up the snacks on the table and chewed them in small bites.
"That's right! But it's also Wei Li's fault. I don't know how he could be so shameless. When he signed the contract to sell himself, he lied to the Prince of Yan and said that he would return it to them unconditionally in the future."
Zhou Yue'e was also a little speechless when she thought of this, "He was a soldier who led troops to fight in wars, how could he have such wild ideas?"
Bai Jingzhi and Wei Liu looked at each other, and they both naturally knew the situation.
At that time, Wei Li was still on the side of Yanzhou. He thought that if he revealed his identity, they would tear up the indenture contract.
How is it possible? Bai Jingzhi was a little dissatisfied. She wasted her energy, how could she help her enemy for no reason?
Yanzhou was the fuse for the fall of Lingzhou, and the Prince of Yan was the instigator.
Wei Li didn't know all this and still wanted to help her enemy for no reason. Even if she agreed, Wei Liu would never agree.
Given the family hatred between them, it was a good thing that Wei Liu did not hand over the Prince of Yan.
"But Wei Li reminded us that Jiang Lan might send people to snatch the food at night and hand it over, and then he would escape. We have to hide the indenture contract, because this prince has a bit of a left-wing personality and won't listen to advice."
Zhou Yue'e also learned this from Wei Li. She had little contact with the Prince of Yan and did not know Jiang Lan.
"Since he wants to steal, then let him do it. If he fails, the previous conditions will no longer apply, and the King of Yan will have to bleed heavily."
All’s fair in war, and now she is just afraid that they won’t steal.
After Bai Jingzhi said this, everyone was a little shocked.
Wei Liu asked first, "Isn't this a bit too aggressive? If they succeed, we don't have enough manpower to stop them."
"No, I'm sure." Bai Jingzhi smiled confidently, "They can't steal it. If they dare to stretch out their claws, I'll chop off their claws."
The Prince of Yan is more valuable than the Wei family.
Bai Jing subconsciously compared them based on their identities, without considering anything else.
They sat here imagining Jiang Lan's next move and then dispersed after a while.
Wei Liu was not in the mood to talk about the news he had heard, and planned to talk to Bai Jingzhi about it on the way.
Jiang Lan was also busy. He called several people in, but unfortunately Changbo was guarding outside and no one listened to his orders.
"Do you still take this prince seriously? Do you still take my father seriously? Your master is the King of Yan, the ruler of Yanzhou, not Jiang Zhu, let alone Changbo!"
Jiang Lan vented his frustration by making indirect accusations.
Changbo stood outside Jiang Lan's room and let him insult him, but when he mentioned Jiang Zhu, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
He clenched his hands around the sword at his waist, then gradually relaxed them, took a deep breath, and calmed himself.
His Nalan family will one day reappear in the world.
Those who were sent to protect Jiang Lan had all been trained under Jiang Zhu and had a special bond with him.
The Prince of Yan mentioned Jiang Zhu, which angered everyone.
Everyone didn't listen to Jiang Lan's madness anymore and they all retreated.
"Go back and rest. When you return to the young master, I will speak for you."
With Jiang Lan around, these people won't listen to Wei Li, but they will definitely listen to Chang Bo.
Changbo has been by Jiang Zhu's side for many years and is Jiang Zhu's confidant.
These men who fight on the battlefield have always admired the strong.
No one under King Yan's command could match Jiang Zhu's strength.
As for the Prince of Yan, we cannot let them do anything that goes against their conscience.
The Bai family has been good to them along the way, so how could they repay their kindness with evil?
If you do these things, you will be laughed at by other comrades when you return to the Yanzhou army.
The Prince of Yan is far inferior to the Prince of Yan.
Jiang Lan didn't know that it was the unusual conversation tonight that had shaken his position.
It was late at night and nothing happened in the backyard.
In the morning, when the group was about to set off, they were stopped by the innkeeper and said, "There was a fire in a shop on South Street last night. The city is under martial law, so you may not be able to leave."
"Thank you, let's go and try it first. The young master has been away for nearly half a year and misses home very much." Wei Liu came out to deal with them.
Bai Zhao made a fool of himself in the clothing shop yesterday and didn't dare to speak out.
He stood aside, listening to Wei Liu dealing with people, and taking notes in his mind.
When they arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city checked their documents and let them pass without making any trouble.
"Be careful after you leave the city. I'm afraid you won't be safe." Wei Liu rushed over and spoke to Bai Jingzhi through the carriage curtain. "As soon as we left, a soldier left. Before he left, he even counted the number of our carriages and horses."
"We have to be on guard against both inside and outside. We're afraid that Jiang Lan will cause trouble." Bai Jingzhi had anticipated this situation a long time ago.
In times of famine, those people will only become more greedy.
