Borshu ran away as fast as he came after him.

From the beginning to the end, Zhao Ning only used two swords, and Sun Kang found it incredible that the battle ended.

With the first blow, Borshu was cut back hundreds of feet, and his energy was in chaos. With the second blow, Borshu's field completely collapsed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth uncontrollably.

In Sun Kang's opinion, Borshu's posture when escaping was like that of a local dog with its tail cut off. He was so frightened that he did not dare to stay for even a moment.

Before leaving, Borshu roared and left a message: He would ride on a donkey with Zhao Ning to read the songbook, and clamored that his army would cross the Yellow River, capture the Central Plains, and capture Bianliang.

These words were more like the barking of a local dog than a threat.

At least in Sun Kang's view, there is no difference between the two.

Watching the barbarians blocking the road and fleeing quickly with Bo Shu, Sun Kang felt unspeakably happy in his heart.

If the person who made the move was not Zhao Ning, he would have laughed three times and asked Bo Shu:

You were so arrogant when you came, why were you so embarrassed when you ran away? Didn't you regard Sun as a piece of fish, why didn't you put Sun in the frying pan now?

Zhao Ning, who came alone, stopped when he saw the opportunity and did not pursue. After putting away the long sword, he turned to look at Sun Kang and others.

"Return to Bianliang quickly." After leaving these four simple words, Zhao Ning turned around and left.

From what he meant, he didn't intend to go with Sun Kang and others.

Likewise, he had no intention of saying anything more to Sun Kang and others.

There was no greeting or concern for their injuries.

But looking at the expressions of the middle-aged man and the pretty woman, Sun Kang found that they didn't think there was anything to criticize about Zhao Ning's slightly arrogant attitude. On the contrary, when they looked at Zhao Ning, they only saw two colors: awe and gratitude.

.

The reason for awe is that Zhao Ning has a high level of cultivation and extraordinary strength. He is not on the same level as them at all. They should look up to and respect him.

Grateful because Zhao Ning saved their lives without asking for anything in return. He came and left neatly. He neither scolded them from above nor boasted about his achievements in front of them.

As for caring about them and asking for their welfare, this is not something that a high-ranking person must do to a lower-ranking person. In the current situation, it is natural not to do it, but it is a bit hypocritical to do it.

Seeing that Zhao Ning was about to leave, Sun Kang finally couldn't help but took two steps forward and shouted: "Zhao...General Zhao!"

Zhao Ning stopped and looked back at him, his eyes unwavering and his face indifferent, as if he were looking at an ordinary person with nothing special about him, rather than an old friend with whom he had a friendship or a holiday.

Even though Sun Kang had thousands of words in his heart, when he saw Zhao Ning's expression, the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

Obviously, the person in front of him, who had made him feel great humiliation, had nightmares for several years, and vowed to surpass him day and night, did not take him to heart at all, and may not even remember him.

This indifference and neglect made Sun Kang extremely uncomfortable.

But he couldn't find any reason to scold the other party.

After holding back half of the box, Sun Kang blushed, and finally managed to say: "General Zhao... where are you going? Thanks to General Zhao for saving me today, Sun... I am very grateful."

, I also want to thank you..."

Zhao Ning's expression remained normal and he responded in a very ordinary way: "I have been ordered by His Majesty to go to Yunzhou to preside over the battle. I am just passing by to save you, so I don't need to worry about it, General Sun."

After saying this, Zhao Ning had no intention of saying anything more, waved his sleeves lightly and left in the air, walking a thousand feet away in an instant.

Just doing it casually... Sun Kang was stunned on the spot, watching Zhao Ning's back disappear from the field of vision. He opened his mouth several times, but no sound came out.

Just now, he realized very clearly that although he and Zhao Ning were both in the Wangji realm, they were no longer from the same world.

The opponent's cultivation strength, status in the Qi Dynasty, and importance in the national war are no longer comparable to his.

At this moment, he couldn't catch up with Zhao Ning.

From now on, it will be difficult for him to even catch up.

...

Yunzhou.

At Chen Yi's suggestion, Yun Yong, the head of the Yun family, made an appointment with the owner of Zhenbao Pavilion for tea.

Nowadays, no one in Yunzhou dares not to give some face to the Yun family, no matter the government or merchants.

As for the powerful gangs in the Jianghu, they are led by Yipinlou and Changhe Chuanxing. They are behemoths in the Jianghu. To ordinary Jianghu people, they are big shots in the clouds.

So under normal circumstances, anything that Chen Yi and Yun Yong come forward to do together is impossible.

But what Yunyong discussed with the owner of the treasure hall today touched the bottom line of a businessman.

"Brother Yun wants Qian to go against the government?" After hearing Yun Yong's explanation of his purpose, Qian Yuanyou, the owner of Zhenbao Pavilion, was silent for a while, and finally gave a tit-for-tat answer as if he had made up his mind.

Yun Yongzheng said:

"What's the point of opposing the government? It's just to expose Chen Jinghe, the chief of Cang Cao, the governor of the governor's office, for corruption, perverting the law, and dereliction of duty at the expense of the public and private interests. These are all things with solid evidence, and they can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. Why wouldn't Brother Qian do it?"

Chen Jinghe took the materials and money donated by the people of Yunzhou to the government for the war, and sold them to Qian Yuanyou and other foreign merchants at low prices. He was very fat, and officials of all sizes also benefited from the rain and dew, and all the officials stationed in Yunzhou benefited.

However, the rebels are still short of money, food, and spring clothes. This matter has been clearly investigated by Yipinlou.

Neither Chen Yi nor Yun Yong, both publicly and privately, could sit back and watch Chen Jinghe's behavior.

Of course they knew that without the approval of the Yunzhou governor, Chen Jinghe, the head of Cangcao, would not dare to do this alone, but it would be more difficult for them to attack the entire governor's office. Under the current situation, it would be difficult to achieve their goal.

So they targeted Chen Jinghe, hoping to use this to shake the mountain and stern the tiger, and make the Yunzhou governor's office restrain itself when they overthrew Chen Jinghe.

Qian Yuanyou asked back: "Is the evidence conclusive?"

Chen Yi said solemnly: "What I need now is the account book in Brother Qian's hand.

"As long as Brother Qian can bring out the account books of Chen Jinghe and Zhenbao Pavilion buying and selling materials donated by the people of Yunzhou at low prices, this matter will be irrefutable. Chen Jinghe will never rely on it, and the governor's office will have to deal with it."

Although Yipinlou found out Chen Jinghe's crime, he didn't have much strong key evidence in his hand. It was related to the reputation of the government and the actual interests of the governor's office. If there was no ironclad evidence, how could the government be willing to obey?

Hearing what Chen Yi said, Qian Yuanyou burst into laughter:

"Brother Yun, Brother Chen, Qian is a businessman. He values ​​profit in everything and will never make things difficult for himself.

"If Qian gives you the account book, what benefits will Qian get? From now on, how will Qian do business with people from the government?

"How can Qian continue his business in Yunzhou after losing the protection of the government and facing difficulties from the government? What reason does Qian have to do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit himself?"

The account books of the transactions with Chen Jinghe were handed over to the government to punish Chen Jinghe. Naturally, Qian Yuanyou offended not only Chen Jinghe himself, but the entire government.

If this betrayal spreads, not to mention that his business in Yunzhou will not be able to continue, no matter where the officials are, they will not treat him as a "cheating" guy.

What Qian Yuanyou said was the truth, but it was only about his personal situation. After hearing what he said, Yunyong couldn't help but feel angry:

"Now is the period of national war. From the emperor down to the people, fighting against foreign invaders is the top priority. Chen Jinghe has harmed the public and enriched his private life, which has hurt the hearts of all the people. If the people no longer trust the government and are unwilling to contribute to the national war, what will we do? How to fight against the powerful barbarians?

"If the family and country are gone, how can Brother Qian's business survive?! Many rebels now don't even have spring clothes. Doesn't Brother Qian have any compassion or justice?"

Qian Yuanyou waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother Yun, it's not easy to slander Qian.

"When everyone donated money to the government before, Qian also gave out 10,000 taels of silver. Although it was not much, it was definitely a lot. Why didn't Qian know the general situation?

"Brother Yun talks about benevolence, justice and morality, but he also considers the actual situation. In business, what Brother Yun wants Qian to do is to destroy Qian's job. I forgive Qian for not complying!"

Qian Yuanyou did donate 10,000 taels of silver to the government.

At that time, the rich merchants in the city, under the leadership of the Yun family and other local powerful men, all did this thing. In Qian Yuanyou's view, it was impossible not to do it. If others were upright and upright, but he stayed out of the matter, his reputation would be ruined. If it was broken, it would be difficult to do business in Yunzhou in the future, so I expressed my opinion.

Ten thousand taels of silver was more or less, not comparable to the Yun family, but it was enough to stop Youyou from talking.

"What business is there? The country is in danger, and everyone should do their best to save the country! Countless soldiers died on the battlefield, did they say anything? They didn't ask Brother Qian to destroy the family and save the country. Why can't we do this?" Yunyong is in a great hurry.

Qian Yuanyou was unmoved, and his attitude was very firm: "Qian can't do what Brother Yun wants Qian to do. Brother Yun, please take it back."

Qian Yuanyou doesn't know how the war will turn out, but the principle of profit-seeking by merchants cannot be abandoned. Even if Yunzhou falls, won't merchants be needed when the Hu people rule here?

If you break the rules today, you will be dead in the future.

Yunyong was furious, but he had nothing to do with Qian Yuanyou, he could only stare.

Just when he was at his wits' end and was about to leave, Chen Yi, who was sitting still, suddenly said leisurely:

"Brother Qian, I'm afraid today's matter is not up to you. You have to agree whether you agree or not. The only choice you can make is whether you take the initiative to give us the account book or we collect it ourselves."

Qian Yuanyou's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a bad tone: "Brother Chen, are you trying to threaten Qian?"

Chen Yi ignored what Qian Yuanyou said, looked at his nose and heart, and continued to think on his own:

"If you choose the former, you may offend the governor, Chen Jinghe, but you will win our goodwill and you will still have business to do in the future.

"If you choose the latter, not only will this Treasure Pavilion be destroyed immediately, but your business in other places will also be devoured by fire, leaving no trace behind."

Qian Yuanyou was immediately furious when he was threatened by such a naked person. He stood up and shouted:

"Chen Yi! Do you really think that you run a boat shop and have some practitioners under you, so you can do whatever you want? Believe it or not, Qian will tell the governor what happened today! Who do you think the governor will help when the time comes?"

"Master Governor? Do you think Chen will be afraid of the mere Governor of Yunzhou?" Chen Yi gave Qian Yuanyou a sideways glance, full of disdain and contempt.

Qian Yuanyou sneered: "Do you still dare to assassinate the Governor?"

Chen Yi chuckled twice: "I wonder, Brother Qian, have you ever heard of: The man in blue has a sword to kill evil, and I will show off the injustice in the world?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yi took out a bronze dagger from his sleeve and gently placed it on the table.

The arrogance and ridicule on Qian Yuanyou's face disappeared in an instant when he saw the bronze dagger, leaving only deep shock and fear in his wide eyes.
