Chapter 1311 Borrowing Troops
As soon as Wang Gang came out of the Northern Qi Palace, he returned to the Yuan Mongolian Embassy. Lin Wan'er and Ye Ling'er had been waiting at the embassy, ​​and Zhamuhe was watching them.

The Yuan Mongolian Embassy was not close to the imperial palace, and Wang Gang was not in a hurry to go back, so he strolled back leisurely. However, when he passed by a noodle stall, he couldn't help but stop.

"Would you like some noodles? I'll treat you." Sean sat at the noodle stand, holding a bowl of noodles and said to Wang Gang:
“I think the noodles here are the most authentic and have the taste of the old days.”

Wang Gang's mouth curled slightly, and he sat opposite Xiao En and said, "Is it the taste of the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

Sean sighed: "It's very similar, but not quite there. I know the noodle stall owner's father, and his cooking skills are a little worse than his father's."

Wang Gang called to the noodle stall owner who was busy not far away: "Boss, give me a bowl of plain noodles with an egg."

"Okay! Sir, please wait a moment."

Wang Gang took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder and wiped them with his clothes.

"Let me tell you, I have very high standards for noodles. If this one doesn't taste good, don't blame me for flipping the table."

"I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Sean was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and pushed a plate of peanuts in front of him towards Wang Gang.

“This braised peanuts tastes good too.”

Wang Gang picked up a peanut and threw it directly into his mouth, not afraid that Sean would poison it.

"Well, the taste is indeed okay, but it lacks a little sugar." Wang Gang shook his head.

"So you're really a gourmet." Sean said in surprise.

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "I don't have high requirements for food, as long as I can fill my stomach. Of course, if it tastes good, I won't refuse it."

The noodle stall owner came over with a bowl of noodles and gave Wang Gang a few cloves of garlic.

"Sir, please enjoy your meal. If it's not enough, please call me again."

Wang Gang took a look at the noodles and said with a smile: "It looks good."

The boss happily went back to work. Wang Gang took a bite of noodles and nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad! This is the only noodle I've eaten in the past six months since I came to Beijing." Sean said with a smile.

Wang Gang took a sip of the noodle soup, then put down his chopsticks and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

"Of course I want to thank you for helping me out of this predicament." Sean said, "If it weren't for you, I don't know how long I would have been imprisoned by Chen Pingping."

"You don't have to thank me." Wang Gang crossed his arms and said, "Saving you is just a deal. Besides, Chen Pingping and I have a grudge, so naturally I have to make things difficult for him. If you want to repay me, just give Chen Pingping more trouble in the future."

Sean smiled bitterly and said, "After I escaped, I realized that the world is no longer what it used to be. Most of my old friends are dead. If I didn't have a good disciple, I wouldn't even have a place to stay."

"I don't care about your business." Wang Gang said with a straight face: "Tell me your purpose. I'm very busy."

"Canglang Khan is a man of few words, so I won't bother to talk too much." Xiao En straightened his face and said, "I want to borrow troops from you to revive the Wei Dynasty."

Wang Gang chuckled and said, "Don't you know? I'm going to marry the eldest princess of Northern Qi soon, and the little emperor of Northern Qi will be my brother-in-law in the future."

Sean smiled and said, "Khan Canglang, you are a great leader, don't you want to swallow the fat meat of Northern Qi? As long as you lend me troops, after reviving Wei, I can decide to give the Hexi area to Yuan Meng."

Wang Gang looked at Xiao En deeply and said, "You want to borrow troops from me without any words? Am I not at a disadvantage? Besides, with Ku He here, it is almost impossible for you to revive the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Sean said seriously: "Although the Grandmaster is powerful, he cannot defeat thousands of troops. My apprentice Shangshan Hu has already controlled most of the military power of Northern Qi. In addition, with the old officials of Wei who I have secretly contacted, it will be easy to overthrow Northern Qi."

"If that's the case, then why did you borrow soldiers?" Wang Gang curled his lips and didn't believe Sean's nonsense.

"I'm worried about Nanqing." Sean said seriously: "Once there is civil unrest in Northern Qi, Nanqing will never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Although I don't want to admit it, Nanqing does have the strength to unify the world now."

Wang Gang said with a smile: "You are worried about Nanqing, but you are not worried about Yuanmeng. You should know that Yuanmeng just defeated Nanqing."

Sean smiled and said, "Khan Canglang, don't lie in front of others. I know a thing or two about the grassland."

"Oh! What do you know?" Wang Gang asked back.

"The Yuan Mongols were newly established, and the original large tribes on the grassland are still in power. Although Canglang Khan is a man of great talent and strategy, and has used the Thirteen Wings to suppress the various tribes, he is still internally unstable and has no power to move eastward." Sean said confidently:
"Otherwise you wouldn't have joined forces with Qi to fight against Qing, and would have directly led your army to attack Nan Qing. Wouldn't that be great?"

Wang Gang did not refute Sean and seemed to agree with what he said.

"As far as I know, the Northern Wei royal family is almost extinct. What's the point of you taking the trouble to restore the country? Why not live a few days in peace, find your grandson, and enjoy your old age?" Sean said bitterly: "Some things cannot be retreated just because you want to. There are too many people in the Northern Qi who want me dead. If I don't want to die, I must resist."

Wang Gang raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "Your words are not entirely true! With your ability, the worst that can happen is that you can flee overseas. Can those enemies still go overseas to hunt you down?"

Sean shook his head and said, "For the sake of my grandson, I can't escape overseas."

"Have you found your grandson?" Wang Gang asked in surprise.

Xiao En snorted coldly: "Chen Pingping had planned everything to make me mistakenly believe that Fan Xian was my grandson, but I still figured it out. I have to thank you for this."

"Is your grandson still in Chen Pingping's hands?" Wang Gang asked puzzledly: "Don't you want to save him?"

Sean said: "It's not time for us to recognize each other yet."

Wang Gang understood instantly that Sean should have found out that Yan Bingyun was his grandson.

"Old Xiao, listen to my advice. You are old and you don't have many days left to live. Look at the situation clearly, stop messing around, and take your grandson overseas." Wang Gang stood up and patted Xiao En on the shoulder and said:
"Ku He will come to Shangjing soon. You should know what that means."

Sean was stunned and said hurriedly: "I can tell you the secret of the temple in exchange for 30,000 cavalrymen."

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "You still don't understand. I am not interested in the temple. Your secret may be valuable to Chen Pingping, but it is worthless to me."

Sean's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want? As long as you are willing to lend me soldiers, I am willing to pay any price."

Wang Gang said with a smile: "There is nothing about you that interests me."

"I can help you deal with Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping. Don't you have a grudge against them?" Sean was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Wang Gang sighed and said, "You think I can't kill Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping, I just don't want them to die yet."

After saying that, Wang Gang left, leaving Sean alone at the noodle stall.

On the way back to the Yuan Mongolian Embassy, ​​Wang Gang burped and thought that the noodles recommended by Sean were indeed good. He would bring Zhan Doudou to try it when he had the chance. He guessed that she had never eaten plain noodles.

Thinking of Zhan Doudou, Wang Gang couldn't help but look in the direction of the palace.

"Brother." A sudden voice made Wang Gang regain his thoughts.

"What happened today? I keep running into acquaintances." Wang Gang saw Fan Xian standing in front of him and smiled, "Are you here to seek revenge on me?"

When he saw Fan Xian again, Wang Gang found that he had lost weight and looked more mature. The childishness on his face was gone and his aura was much stronger. His cultivation should have reached the eighth level.

Over the past six months, the Fan family has been like a rat crossing the street, being hunted all the way to Dongyi City. If it weren't for Wu Zhu's protection, they might not even have seen Si Gu Jian.

In order to wipe out the root of the problem, Emperor Qing revealed the news about Wu Zhu to the temple messenger. The temple sent people to hunt down Wu Zhu, and the Fan family was also affected and was in danger.

Although Wu Zhu finally "killed" the temple messenger, he was also seriously injured and was unable to seek revenge on Emperor Qing.

Over the past six months, Fan Xian has experienced the same life that Wang Gang went through, and has become much more mature as a result.

"Brother, father wants to see you for the last time." Fan Xian said to Wang Gang sadly.

Wang Gang slowly put away his smile and asked, "Is Fan Jian going to die?"

Fan Xian nodded sadly.

"I brought my father to the capital, and he said he must see you before he died." Fan Xian said.

Wang Gang snorted coldly: "I don't want to see him. Tell him that if I feel good in the future, I will go to his grave and jump a few times."

Fan Xian frowned and said, "Brother, you caused the Fan family to be destroyed and everyone in the family was killed. You have avenged all your grudges, but why are you still unwilling to forgive father?"

Wang Gang sneered, "This is all Fan Jian's own fault. Even if I hadn't been involved in his actions, Emperor Qing would not have let the Fan family off. You should know this clearly."

Fan Xian gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want in exchange for going to see father?"

"I know Ye Qingmei left a box for you. It's in Wuzhu's hand. If you are willing to give it to me, I will go to see Fan Jian." Wang Gang put forward his conditions.

"Okay." Fan Xian agreed without hesitation.
