Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 340 The Road

Then, Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "That's right, our goal this time is a little far away, but as long as we can accurately find the location of the treasure and take the initiative in the matter, who says we can't get some benefits from it?

As for what the black hands behind this incident want to achieve, as long as we find the treasure before them, no matter how powerful and conspiratorial they are, it will be useless."

Zhang Chen nodded in agreement, he could tell that Lu Xiaofeng had already understood the matter thoroughly when he was looking for the two of them, otherwise he wouldn't have said it so confidently.

Bai Zhantang stroked his chin and said, "In this case, what we need to do now is to collect information about the Jinpeng Dynasty as soon as possible and find clues that can lead us to the treasure.

Secondly, we need to pay close attention to the dynamics of the various forces in the arena to see if there are any clues of the mastermind behind the scenes. "

Lu Xiaofeng nodded seriously when he heard the words, with an expression that Bai Zhantang said made sense, while Zhang Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Bai Zhantang froze for a moment, then asked.

"Don't play tricks when time is running out, I don't believe Linglingfa didn't give you information!"

Zhang Chen looked at Lu Xiaofeng and said.

"Hey~"

Bai Zhantang reacted instantly.

"I didn't say anything, and it's my fault? The tea is almost done, let's set off."

Lu Xiaofeng had an innocent look on his face, Bai Zhantang instantly realized that there was nothing wrong with what he said, and it was only him who had the problem.

"Why are you still standing there, let's go!"

Lu Xiaofeng continued to speak, and after he finished speaking, he got up and paid the bill and walked towards the horse not far away.

"Hey I'm going"

Bai Zhantang pointed to Lu Xiaofeng's back and said.

Zhang Chen shook his head with a smile, these two people deserved to be good friends.

………………

On the official road to the frontier.

The route chosen by Lu Xiaofeng and the other three is to walk slowly along the official road. The reason is very simple because it is convenient, fast and relatively safe.

The official road is relatively safe, because the maintenance risk of the government is relatively small. Moreover, there are often business travelers on the official road, and there will be post shops on both sides of the road to entertain passers-by. It is a good place to collect information and meet some people in the world.

On this day, several people stayed at an inn to rest for a while.

"It's been a long time since I came out. The road is well maintained, and it's much better than before!"

Bai Zhantang looked at the vendors and pedestrians on the official road and the willow trees on both sides and said with a smile, there used to be no official road here, let alone inns and post stations for people to rest.

Zhang Chen nodded in agreement. The scenery on both sides of the official road is pleasant, with mountains and rivers reflecting each other, giving people a sense of tranquility and ease. It can be seen that they have not been affected by the war.

However, not long after, a group of men in Jianghu costumes came to the inn, and the three of them had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. What the group said just now had already aroused the interest of the three of them.

Along the way, they met many people from the world, but there were not many who could talk about the Jinpeng Dynasty so openly.

"Seeing that we are getting closer and closer to our goal."

Zhang Chen said.

The other two nodded slightly. The appearance of this group of people seemed to be a signal. Afterwards, many gangsters appeared, or a few people accompanied each other, or a cloaked man walking alone.

"Let's go in too and see if we can get any latest news."

Bai Zhantang suggested that now the inn can be described as noisy and clinking glasses constantly, and their mood of admiring the beautiful scenery has long been completely destroyed.

Zhang Chen frowned. These people were really disturbing, but what Brother Bai said made sense. Zhang Chen then nodded in agreement.

"I have intended this for a long time. Let's go and listen to what they can say. Anyway, we still have to stay for a while, so we might as well join in the fun."

Lu Xiaofeng snapped his fingers and said.

The three reached an agreement, and then the three of them turned around and returned to the inn, found a table in the lobby and sat down, and asked the waiter to serve some appetizers, and then the three of them began to listen to the conversations of those people.

After a while, the three of them heard some unusual news revealed in the words of the Jianghu men.

"Have you heard that Yan Tieshan, a well-known jeweler in the south of the Yangtze River, appeared near here recently. How can he appear here as a wealthy businessman?"

"Hey, brother, your news has been outdated for a long time. Don't you know about King Ning's rebellion? Now they have reached the end of the road. I heard that those soldiers of King Ning are all eye-catching in the south of the Yangtze River. What's the deal with a family that just got up like the Yan family~"

"You mean~~"

The people at that table understood instantly, and then they chatted about other things instead of discussing this matter.

Hearing these words, Bai Zhantang, Zhang Chen and Lu Xiaofeng looked at each other, they really heard unexpected news this time.

"There is such an accident, it's no wonder he appears here."

Lu Xiaofeng said in a low voice.

Zhang Chen was also shocked. He didn't pay much attention to the matter of King Ning all the way. This news really surprised him. Yan Tieshan's family business in Jiangnan is not small, and he didn't expect to be defeated in the military disaster like this.

"In this way, we have one less target."

Bai Zhantang mentioned the important point. On the road before, Lu Xiaofeng had already exchanged information with the two of them. They all knew that part of the Jinpeng Dynasty's restoration legacy was embezzled by the three of them.

In the current situation, they expected to lose a lot of treasure that they could find, which was not what they expected, because the purpose of what they did was to make money for the emperor to make up for military supplies.

"This is not a bad thing. Wang Yangming's suppression of the rebellion may have reached a critical moment. Maybe the war will be over by the time we go back, and the money in King Ning's hands will eventually return to the court."

Bai Zhantang said optimistically.

Zhang Chen smiled and said nothing, Lu Xiaofeng also did not speak, this time Wang Yangming led the team, the wealth that the court can bring back may be as Bai Zhantang said, if any other general is replaced, it may not be the complete wealth.

This point, Zhang Chen and Lu Xiaofeng on the side knew it well, only Bai Zhantang, who had never been in the court hall, could imagine it like this.

"What are we going to do next?"

Zhang Chen put his hands behind his head and asked casually.

This time he is not the team leader, he only needs to be in charge of fighting, it is better to leave the mental work to Lu Xiaofeng.

Bai Zhantang no longer struggled with the reaction of the two of them, but turned their heads to look at Lu Xiaofeng together.

"I'm waiting for someone."

Lu XiaoFeng said with a smile.

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up when he heard the words, if he guessed correctly, the person who came must be Hua Manlou, and only Hua Manlou could make Lu Xiaofeng show such a relaxed posture.

　Thanks for the support!
