When Shao Xuan arrived at the Flaming River Castle, the Flaming River Trading Point was already very quiet. Only a few houses were lit up by water moon stones and other illuminating crystals.
When the guard outside the Flaming River Castle saw Shao Xuan, he gestured to let Shao Xuan know how many Chang Le's were inside so that Shao Xuan could be mentally prepared.
Shao Xuan nodded slightly and brought Wu He in.
Outside the reception room, there were two people that Shao Xuan didn't know. They were probably from the Chang Le's. When they saw Wu He, they sneered and looked at him with disdain and mockery. Not only did he fail his mission, but he was also caught. This was indeed embarrassing for the Chang Le's.
On the other hand, Wu He was even more nervous. He wasn't afraid of being mocked by the two people outside. He could always mock them back next time. Who was afraid of who? Everyone had been mocking each other for a long time. The Chang Le's also compared their 'performance'. Wu He had always been better than the two people, so he didn't care about their mockery. What made him nervous was the people inside. Who would come this time?
Shao Xuan knocked twice on the door and opened it.
Other than Zheng Luo and Duo Kang, there were five strangers inside. They should be the Chang Le's who came after hearing the news.
Before Shao Xuan arrived, Zheng Luo had already talked to them once. At this time, the room was very quiet. Zheng Luo and Duo Kang seemed to be thinking about something. The five people didn't seem like they were going to make a sound either. They were all waiting quietly. When Shao Xuan opened the door, everyone inside looked at the door.
The five Chang Le's looked at Wu He at first, then they looked at Shao Xuan and sized him up.
Among the five people, the first person that Shao Xuan noticed was the only one who was sitting. The man didn't look strong and was dressed like a tribesman from the Flaming River region. There wasn't anything special about him. Behind him was a big, muscular man with a bronze hammer in his hand. He stood there like a wall, not bothering to hide his ferocious aura. If he was in a crowd, he would definitely be noticed. However, the most dangerous person was the only one who was sitting down. His body was thin, but he was like a saber hidden in a scabbard.
When Shao Xuan entered, the man's closed eyes slowly opened. He casually turned his head to look at Shao Xuan, but the gaze in his eyes was as sharp as a blade, as if a sharp blade had been unsheathed.
Shao Xuan became vigilant. This person's status in Changle was probably extremely high.
Just as Shao Xuan was thinking this, Wu He, who had been brought in, let out a howl and rushed over to kneel in front of the man. "Boss, why are you here? Are you here to save us? When can we leave? "
The man glanced at Wu He, then looked away expressionlessly as if he didn't see Wu He's howl. He said to Zheng Luo, "I've agreed to your request. Where's the thing?"
Shao Xuan looked at Zheng Luo. When he saw Zheng Luo nod, he took out the bamboo tube.
"Don't worry, I said I won't look. I won't let anyone see it before it's delivered," said the man.
After that, the man left with his men. He didn't like to talk too much. The more he spoke, the more he revealed. He didn't even look at Wu He as he left.
The two Changle people guarding the door smiled at Wu He before they left. Their smiles were filled with schadenfreude.
Seven long-winged birds took off from the Flaming River Castle and left the Flaming River Trading Point. They quickly disappeared into the night.
"Boss, are we leaving just like that? Are we leaving Wu He and the others behind? "On the long-winged bird, one of the Changle people carefully looked at his boss's expression and asked. If they stayed in Yanjiao, Wu He and the others wouldn't be treated well. They didn't know how long they would have to wait for the letter to be delivered.
"They're howling so loudly. It's obvious they're fine. The others won't be in too much trouble either. Just treat this as a punishment for failing the mission." It was rare for them to cross the sea, but the moment they arrived, they received news that Wu He and the others were captured in front of so many people. How could they not be angry? As the leader of the Changle people, he felt humiliated.
If Yanjiao had killed Wu He and the others, he would have organized another round of revenge. However, Yanjiao didn't kill them. Instead, they gave him a strange condition.
Actually, delivering a letter wasn't difficult for them. It just took some time.
When they thought about the destination of the letter, they couldn't help but suspect Yanjiao's intentions.
"Yanjiao is very ambitious," sighed the man.
"How is Yanjiao ambitious? I don't see them declaring war on anyone. "Another Changle was confused.
"Some things don't have to be declared war to achieve."
After the Changle people left, Wu He, who was left behind in the Yanjiao tribe, was taken back to the cave and continued to be locked up.
"It's over. Did the boss give up on us?" asked one of the people in the cave sadly.
"Definitely not. The boss made a deal with the Yanjiao people. Once the deal is done, he'll definitely come back for us," said Wu He. It wasn't that he didn't understand. He just didn't want to be locked up here forever. Every day, he had to fight with the mosquitoes and insects in the cave. There were also those coarse grains. Yanjiao had planted so many good things, but they only gave them this!
Wu He had protested, but all he got was one sentence from the Yanjiao people: a captive should act like a captive.
How could he have the nerve to ask for conditions after being caught for stealing? Did bird shit get into his brain?
"I want to eat meat! Hot, freshly roasted, fearsome beast meat, and soup … "Wu He shouted to himself. He didn't expect the Yanjiao people to treat them well. He was just shouting to vent his frustration.
Footsteps sounded. Someone had entered the cave. Wu He and the others even heard the few Yanjiao people guarding the cave call out, "Grand Elder."
As the footsteps got closer, they could smell the thick aroma of barbecued meat. It was very fragrant. Just by smelling the aroma, they knew that the barbecued meat must have been seasoned well. It was not overcooked, nor was it cold and hard. It must be similar to the spiced barbecued meat they had in the Flaming River Trading Point. Because of this, they salivated even faster.
Wu He wiped away the saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth and looked at the newcomer.
"You want to eat fresh, hot fearsome beast meat? That's not impossible. " Shao Xuan came in with a large ceramic bowl. The lid of the bowl had been removed when he entered the cave. The wind blew into the cave, blowing the aroma of the roasted meat into the cave.
Wu He took two deep breaths. When he heard Shao Xuan's words, he scrambled to his feet. His eyes were glowing like a hungry wolf that hadn't eaten for a long time. "What conditions?"
He wasn't stupid. The Yanjiao people would never give them what they wanted without conditions.
Shao Xuan took out a small black piece and handed it to Wu He. "How did you make this?"
Wu He knew what Shao Xuan was holding with one glance. It was from the black shield they used to rob the Yanjiao grains. Shao Xuan only had a small piece in his hand.
What were the Chang Le's most afraid of?
Temptation!
Their curiosity was always weak in the face of temptation, whether it was food or something else.
But at this moment, they didn't dare to say a word about the conditions to obtain this delicious food.
This was the Chang Le's secret. They wouldn't tell anyone, not even if they starved to death!
