Mo Chentao wasn't just Yan Shuheng's subordinate, he was also a member of Cang Lan Valley's Mo family.
Because Yan Shuheng's mother was the daughter of an elder of Cang Lan Valley's Mo family, he was able to obtain the Mo family's support.
But this was only support. Now that Mo Chentao was injured to this state, he definitely had to give the Mo family an explanation. This made Yan Shuheng extremely annoyed.
Yan Zhongheng looked down on his big brother, thinking that he was indecisive. But this time, Yan Shuheng was decisive for once.
Since he had to give an explanation to Cang Lan Valley, then would Yan Qingxue's life and Meng Qingze's life be enough?
Yan Shuheng secretly called a confidant, disguised himself, and went to the ninth Yan Chengheng's residence.
Seeing his big brother in disguise, Yan Chengheng couldn't help but be surprised, "Big brother, what are you playing at?"
Yan Shuheng didn't have the leisure to talk nonsense with him, he directly said, "Old Jiu, don't talk about these useless things. I only ask you one thing, do you want Yan Qingxue and the others to die?"
Yan Chengheng sighed and said, "Big Brother, this is your fault. No matter what, Little Sister is also our half-sister. Do you have the heart to kill her?"
Yan Shuheng sneered, "Old Jiu, don't pretend in front of me, is there any meaning to it?
Now you have seen Yan Qingxue's situation, she has Meng Qingze's support, and actually recruited Hong Lietao and the others. If we don't ask for help from the martial arts forces behind us, we won't even be her match! "
Yan Chengheng lazily said, "So what? This time, everyone has several trade routes. She only has one, so she can't win. "
"Do you really think that we can get the position of successor as long as we get first place in this trade? Naive! "
Yan Shuheng coldly said, "The first place in this trade will indeed get the position of successor, but think about it, will the others be convinced?
Second Brother also only has one trade route, but the force under him is the strongest. Moreover, his mother is the Mythical Fire Sect's Saintess, the Mythical Fire Sect's support for him is much stronger than the forces behind us.
This time, the final result of the trade was that the second brother would definitely lose, but did you see the slightest bit of worry on his face?
The successor doesn't represent the City Lord. As long as the dust hasn't settled, anyone has the chance to become the City Lord. Of course, that includes Yan Qing Xue! "
Yan Chengheng looked at his big brother, whom he had never looked up to, in surprise, as if it was the first time he had met him.
This was something that even he himself hadn't thought of. It was only after Yan Shuheng brought it up that he realized it.
So what if the merchant won first place this time and obtained the position of the successor? They all had their own forces under them, and there would definitely be a competition in the future.
In this way, Yan Qingxue, who had Meng Qingze and Hong Lietao, would have terrifying strength. She would definitely be a great enemy for them!
Yan Chengheng heaved a long sigh and asked in a deep voice, "Then what do you want?"
Yan Shuheng laughed coldly, "Aren't they going to Everlasting Peace Manor? From here to Everlasting Peace Manor, there will be quite a few bandits along the way.
Old Jiu, you have a wide circle of friends. I know that you have dealt with those strong people who set up strongholds in Xiang Nan's jungle before.
How about this, I'll pay, you go and contact them. When they return, rob and kill them. Steal the goods, kill them even more! "
Yan Chengheng had to admit that Yan Shuheng's move was indeed ruthless.
There were indeed many bandits in Xiang Nan's jungle. Among them, there were weak ones and strong ones.
If these people hid in Xiang Nan's jungle, even if the Imperial Court and Xiang Nan's major forces joined forces, they still wouldn't be able to exterminate them. Letting them make a move was the safest and the least likely to be seen by others.
These people were so daring that they even dared to rob the Imperial Court's carriages. So what if they went crazy and killed a merchant caravan from Merchant Mountain City once in a while?
Yan Chengheng said in a deep voice, "Asking those people to make a move is not a problem. But with Yan Qingxue's strength, finding a small mountain stronghold with only Postcelestial Warriors is useless. We must find a stronghold with Postcelestial Warriors. But the money will be ten times more."
Yan Shuheng said directly, "Five million!"
"That's not enough." Yan Chengheng shook his head and said, "If we want to make a move against them, we will need at least a few large strongholds to work together. Even if they split the five million, there won't be much left.
Making a move against a merchant caravan with five Postcelestial Warriors and risking offending Merchant Mountain City for this small amount of money is not something those people will do. "
"I'm talking about five million for each person! As long as they come to ten strongholds, I can afford this amount of money! "
Yan Chengheng sucked in a breath of cold air. His big brother's background was indeed not that simple.
Ten villages at most, and that would be fifty million taels of silver.
Merchant Mountain City could afford this amount of money, but this money belonged to Merchant Mountain City and not them.
Yan Shuheng could easily take out 50 million taels of silver. Yan Chengheng did not believe that he had accumulated it with his monthly allowance.
But money made things easier. Yan Chengheng said coldly, "As long as there is money, there will be many strongholds willing to take this job. Don't worry, as long as Yan Qingxue and the rest leave Merchant Mountain City, they won't be able to come back!"
Three days later, the other merchant caravans had basically all set off. Yan Qingxue's side had also finished preparing and brought the caravan towards Chang Ning Manor.
If Su Xin was travelling alone, he would be able to reach Chang Ning Manor from Merchant Mountain City within ten days.
But he was bringing a merchant caravan with many commoners, so his speed was naturally slowed down.
Uncle Liang had walked this trade route before. According to his analysis, with their speed, it would take at least a month and a half to reach Chang Ning Manor.
But fortunately, the journey was safe and peaceful, and nothing happened.
Actually, it was normal. Although there were many bandits in Xiang Nan's dense forests, they did it for money and not to kill.
Those merchants from the Central Plains would not bring large amounts of gold and silver to Xiang Nan. Most of them would choose the official banknotes. Without their signature, it would be useless even if you stole it.
So they would usually choose those merchants to buy goods from Chang Ning Manor before swallowing them in one go.
This journey lasted for a full fifty days. When he saw the city gates of Chang Ning Manor again, Su Xin sighed.
Two months ago, he was chased like a stray dog out of Chang Ning Manor. Who would have thought that he would be back in just two months.
After entering the city, Uncle Liang first arranged for everyone to stay. If there was anything they needed to buy, it would be discussed later.
After all, everyone had been walking in Xiang Nan's dense forests for close to two months. Their bodies were very tired and they needed to rest for a day or two.
Late at night, Su Xin put on his night clothes, took off his human skin mask and snuck into the Flying Eagle Gang.
Seeing that everything was normal with the Flying Eagle Gang, Su Xin was relieved.
It seemed that Xie Zhiyan had fulfilled her promise. Even though the people from Qingcheng sword school were so angry that they wanted to put a bounty on him, they did not implicate the Flying Eagle Gang.
Outside the main hall, there were many Flying Eagle Gang members patrolling. But with Su Xin's current strength, they naturally did not notice him.
Behind the main hall was a house. In the past, Li Bo and Huang Bingcheng lived here. Just as Su Xin pushed open the door to Li Bo's room, he saw a figure flash out from the bed. A sharp blade with a biting cold killing intent was already stabbing towards Su Xin!
The corner of Su Xin's mouth revealed a trace of a smile. Without using too much internal force, he used the God Stunning Finger. It was as fast as lightning. In an instant, it hit the long sword three times and sent it flying.
Just as Li Bo was about to make another move, Su Xin pulled down the mask on his face and said in a low voice, "Li Bo, it's me."
"Boss! You're alright!? "Li Bo's stiff face suddenly revealed a look of ecstasy.
"Shh, lower your voice. Go and call Huang Bingcheng, too." Su Xin said in a low voice.
Li Bo nodded and went to the next room to call Huang Bingcheng. Then he directly locked the door.
Seeing that Su Xin was alright, Huang Bingcheng was also excited.
For them, managing the Flying-eagle Gang by themselves was not as satisfying as working with Su Xin.
Li Bo was the kind of person who only knew how to cultivate. If he was asked to manage the Flying-eagle Gang, he would not even know where to start. He hoped that he could still be a sword in Su Xin's hand. He would kill whoever Su Xin asked him to kill. It would be more convenient this way.
Although Huang Bingcheng was familiar with managing the gang's affairs, he knew that he could only be a person who handled the affairs, not a decision-maker.
In the past, when Su Xin was here, he only needed to tell Su Xin about things that he could not make up his mind about. This boss would naturally come up with a decision.
But now that Su Xin was gone and Li Bo was like this, Huang Bingcheng could only scratch his head if something happened that he could not make up his mind about. He had to rack his brains to prevent a big mess from happening.
"Boss, the people from Qingcheng sword school did not do anything to you. Are you preparing to return to Chang Ning Manor?" Huang Bingcheng asked.
Su Xin shook his head and said, "Although the people from Qingcheng sword school could not do anything to me, they put a bounty on my name on the black list. I can't show my face in public for at least half a year.
But I have already joined the Six Fan School. My current identity is Meng Qingze on the Ranking List of Young Masters. I am currently following Yan Qingxue from the Yan family to Chang Ning Manor to do business. When you see my other identity tomorrow, be careful not to give yourself away. "
Huang Bingcheng said in realization, "Boss, so you have joined the Six Fan School. Then it must be Constable Tie who recommended you? After you left, Constable Tie immediately resigned from his position as the chief of detectives of the Twelve East Houses. "
Su Xin nodded, "Then who is in charge of the chief of detectives of the Twelve East Houses now?"
Huang Bingcheng laughed and said, "Boss, do you still remember Constable Junior Zhang from Yongle Lane? His big brother used to be the patrolling constable of Changde Lane. Recently, he had broken through to the Acquired Realm, so he was directly appointed as the chief of detectives of the Twelve East Houses. With this kind of relationship, we'll be doing pretty well on the official side. "
