At this moment, an expert from the Poison Eye Mercenary Group suddenly came over and whispered a few words. Cheng Ketian's eyes immediately lit up.
"Qi Wenhan, I advise you to consider this carefully. I've also heard about this Ling Yi. Not only did he lose his bodyguard, but he also defected to the pirates and escaped. Why do you still want to protect this kind of scum? Why don't you just give him to me, and I will help you clean up the mess. That way, you can save some effort. How about it? "Cheng Ketian suddenly changed his tone to one of negotiation.
He had long heard about the matter of Ling Yi defecting to the pirates. It was precisely because of this that he dared to add insult to injury. It was just that he had been too arrogant just now and had been pushed around by Qi Wenhan. With the reminder of his subordinate, he could use this as an excuse to get out of the situation.
"Hmph, who told you that Ling Yi defected to the pirates?" Qi Wenhan could not help but laugh.
"Wei Arc City is only such a big place. Even the slightest movement would not be able to escape the eyes and ears of the Poison Eye Mercenary Group. You don't have to hide it anymore, it's unnecessary!" Cheng Ketian said proudly.
"Is that so? Then I can only regretfully tell you that not only did Ling Yi not defect to the pirates, he even single-handedly snatched the goods back from the pirates. Young master Cheng, have you not heard? It seems that the eyes and ears of the Poison Eye Mercenary Group are only so-so! "Qi Wenhan sneered.
"Wh … What?" Cheng Ketian was instantly dumbfounded. Just now, when he was scared away by Lin Yi at the pier, he had hurried back to get reinforcements. Naturally, he did not know what had happened to the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. How did a chicken turn into a phoenix in the blink of an eye? Not only was this Ling Yi not the scum that the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency had to deal with, but he had instead become a hero?
"I'll tell you one last time. Ling Yi is a member of the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, and he is the person that we value the most. If you dare to touch a single hair on his head, it will be a declaration of war against the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. This is a declaration of war against our Equal Heaven Escort Agency. Whether or not you can bear the consequences, it's up to you! "Qi Wenhan said in front of everyone. His words were stern and righteous.
Lin Yi nodded slightly as he watched the scene. They were trying to rope him in. However, this action of the other party had indeed given him a layer of protection, and he had to remember this kindness.
"Have you thought this through? Could it be that you really want to start another war with our Poison Eye Mercenary Group for such an insignificant fellow?" Cheng Ketian couldn't help but stomp his foot in exasperation.
"Scram!" Qi Wenhan couldn't even be bothered to look at him. Putting aside the fact that he valued Lin Yi so much, he was still counting on Lin Yi to help him participate in the escort agency's event. Cheng Ketian's threat was nothing in his eyes!
Under the gazes of the crowd, Cheng Ketian's expression flickered between clear and dark, alternating between green and white. With a face full of resentment, he looked at Lin Yi, then looked at Qi Wenhan. In the end, he still did not dare to start a fight here. He could only fiercely say, "Just you wait and see", and dejectedly leave with his people.
Qi Wenhan and Lin Yi looked at each other and smiled as they watched Cheng Ketian and the others leave. This fellow was indeed a clown who couldn't be brought up to the public.
"Brother Qi, many thanks." Lin Yi sincerely thanked Qi Wenhan. He really didn't expect that, in the face of Cheng Ketian's overbearing attitude, Ling Chen would spare no effort to protect him. This was no small favor.
"What are you saying? Brother Ling, no matter what, you are still a member of our Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. Moreover, you are a meritorious official. Our escort agency doesn't dare to boast about other things, but to our own people, we definitely have nothing to say." Qi Wenhan patted his chest. He pulled Lin Yi back into the banquet hall and said, "Come, let's continue drinking. Don't let that bastard spoil your mood. "
"Haha, alright." Lin Yi laughed heartily. The more he interacted with this young master, the more he realized that their temperaments were compatible. It was hard to find a confidant in this world, and there weren't many friends that could enter Lin Yi's eyes.
As Lin Yi and Qi Wenhan drank and chatted, on the other side, Cheng Ketian, who had returned from the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency in defeat, was suppressing a bellyful of anger. He wanted to kill someone.
"Bar, come over here." Cheng Ketian pointed at one of the Golden Core Perfected experts behind him. Now that Old Kong was seriously injured and unconscious, he could only change to a temporary follower.
"Yes, Young Master Cheng, what orders do you have?" This person's name was Chen Zitiao, but the members of the Poison Eye Mercenary Band usually called him Bar.
"Regarding that Ling Yi, as well as what happened at the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency today, go and find out for me. Remember, don't miss out on even a single detail, or I will break your dog legs!" Cheng Ketian said as he pinched his chin.
The reason why he was rebuffed today was because he did not have good information. If he had known that Ling Yi was a meritorious official and not a traitor, he would not have brought people to the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency at all. That was purely asking for trouble.
"Yes, Young Master Cheng, please wait for me. I will go now." Chen Zitiao nodded and left.
An hour later, Chen Zitiao returned and reported everything that had happened at the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency to Cheng Ketian in detail. These things had already spread like wildfire, so it was not difficult to find out. Moreover, with the eyes and ears of the Poison Eye Mercenary Band, it was as easy as flipping one's hand if they wanted to find out anything in Wei Wan City.
"What? This fake news was all made up by those two cowards, Li Yanji and Guan Zhiyuan, in order to avoid responsibility? So sinister and shameless, this young master is quite fond of them! " After hearing this, Cheng Ketian had a look of surprise on his face. He then asked, "Then where are the two of them now? Have they been killed by Qi Wenhan?"
"No, the two of them were stabbed three times and six times, and were thrown out by the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. They should still be lying in the rubbish heap, but I don't know if they're dead or alive," Chen Zitiao replied.
"Mm, forget it if they're dead. If they're still alive, find someone to pick them up and keep them with the Poison Eye Mercenary Band. Who knows, they might be of some use in the future." Cheng Ketian's eyes rolled as he instructed.
"Yes." Chen Zitiao nodded and immediately said, "There's another piece of news. It's about the conflict between the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency and the Hong Chamber of Commerce. Although the rumors on the streets are not very accurate, this matter has already spread like wildfire. This little one speculates that this matter should be basically true. Young Master Cheng, you might be interested in it."
"Oh? Tell me about it. "Cheng Ketian was instantly interested.
"According to the rumors on the streets, the reason why the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency's escorts were robbed was purely because Wei Zhaotong of the Hong Chamber of Commerce had set up a trap. He had trapped Qi Wenhan and the entire Heaven's Equal Escort Agency together. Not long ago, Qi Wenhan brought his men to find trouble with Wei Zhaotong. In the end, he was sent back by Wei Zhaotong with just a few words and was given the cold shoulder," Chen Zitiao reported.
"There's such a thing?" Cheng Ketian's mouth twitched. This sounded exactly the same as what happened to him just now! (To be continued) r655
