Chapter 2160
At that time, the Third Prince only said that everyone was dead. It seemed that it was more accurate to say that it was unclear whether they were dead or alive.
"That's right!" It was extremely strange. He didn't know how it happened, but he had disappeared. There was not even a trace of blood on him. It seemed like there was no fight at all.
"These escort agents were hired by our store at a high price because these herbs are quite expensive. We are really losing money." The shopkeeper sighed bitterly.
Ye Fan was puzzled, "Can't you just directly put the herbs in your storage bag and fly back?"
"No way!" The shopkeeper explained, "Customer, please do not know that the Wilderness is a dangerous place.If a cultivator were to fly past and be discovered by some experts from the Wilderness, they could be seen as enemies and be brutally killed.
The barbarians had a large number of captive demonic beasts. There were also many flying demonic beasts that would initiate attacks on the invaders.
Even if they were to move on land, if they did not reveal the goods they were escorting and did not carry the name of the trading company, they might be stopped and used as scouts to investigate!
[There is a great chance that we can come back safely, but we cannot do business here!]
Moreover, our Flying Crane Trading Company has dealings with Borjin and Arguis. Generally speaking, there will be no problem in giving out the flag.However, this time, it is a little strange. We have a few barbarian merchants working together in the Wilderness.
However, what I understand is that this robbery does not have anything to do with barbarians."It has nothing to do with the barbarians?" Ye Fan frowned. This news was in line with some of his predictions.
Seeing that Ye Fan's brows were deeply furrowed, the shopkeeper asked, "Customer, why don't you try to reduce the amount of medicinal ingredients you have?" If it's safe, we can increase the amount we buy? "
Ye Fan stood up, put away the map of the Wilderness on the table, and then put down a bunch of coins.
"I want this map. I'll go back and think about it. If there's anything I need, I'll come back to find you."
"Ouch!" "You're too polite. How can you be so embarrassed? It's just a map, then I'll wait for your news."
The shopkeeper understood, seeing how generous Ye Fan was, he hurriedly smiled and sent him off.
As soon as he arrived downstairs, he heard a large number of footsteps and the sound of the iron hooves of demon beasts coming from the distant street.
The large number of commoners and passersby within the city all stepped aside to give way."Innkeeper!" It seems like the Duke of Zhenbei is bringing troops to our trading company! " the receptionist reported nervously.
"What?" When the manager heard what Duan Ling Tian said, he had an uneasy expression as he hurriedly ran to the door.
Ye Fan brought the two girls outside the door and looked at Ye Huang Tu, who was wearing a military uniform. The few high-ranking officers beside him were mostly people he had seen before on New Year's Day.
When Ye Huang Tu and the others' gazes were locked onto Ye Fan, Ye Fan looked indifferent, he had already guessed that something like this would happen.
In fact, he only wanted to lure the men behind Ye Zhengqing out and see who was actually condoning the bullies in the army. It would be easy to deal with them.
However, the commotion caused by the two women was so great that it almost attracted the high-ranking members of the northern army.
The army stopped outside the trading firm and surrounded the entrance.
"Welcome, master Hou!" The manager's group of people successively knelt down to pay their respects.
Ye Huang Tu got off his horse with his men and signaled for them to get up, "I'm not here to look for you. Go ahead."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he noticed that a group of northern army officers were furiously staring at Ye Fan.The shopkeeper couldn't help feeling scared. Fortunately, he didn't manage to complete the business, otherwise, he might get into trouble again. He hurriedly brought his people back into the store.
"You are the one who killed the official, Chang Yu, and also crippled Ye Zhengqing?" Ye Huangtu asked in a deep voice as he studied Ye Fan.
Ye Huang had a feeling that the young man before him looked familiar, but he did not recognize him at all. This feeling was very subtle.
Ye Fan nodded, "That's right, why does the Northern Marquis want to avenge them?"
"I would like to know who you are, and why you injured my warriors in the northern army."
Ye Fan chuckled, "Who I am is not important." Shouldn't the duke investigate thoroughly before coming to find me? Why didn't I injure others and still make a move on those two? "Ye Huangtu frowned, "Since you are not willing to say it out loud, then please come to my military camp. I will check it out after I find out what happened."
"I have something on, so I won't be going to the military camp. You can find out why it happened now."
"I presume that some of your subordinates are hiding something from you." Ye Fan swept his eyes over this group of high-ranking officers and said.
Ye Hong said angrily, "Don't try to sow discord here! Even if someone in my northern army has done something wrong, it should be ordered by the marquis and punished by martial law! How can I allow an outsider like you to interfere!?
If you go against the northern army, you're going against the Shen Long family! "You think about it!""Master Hou, this person has a problem. We can't just let him go like this!" A few other generals suggested.
Without waiting for Ye Fan to say anything, a loud laughter came from not far away.
"Hahahaha, what a mighty and extraordinary Divine Dragon clan! What a mighty northern army! "
The crowd gradually dispersed. A middle-aged man, who wore a dark blue fur collar coat and had long hair combed behind his head and had a dignified face without getting angry, brought a group of people over.
Beside the man was Zhang Ze Yu, who had just talked to Ye Fan a while ago. He was smiling as he waved at Ye Fan.
"Master Tai Hao, what business do you have here?" Ye Wangtu asked calmly.Hearing this, Ye Fan understood. This person was the current head of the Xuanming clan, Zhou Jinnian, who had inherited the position of Duke Taihao.
This led to the Northern Marquis Residence taking complete control of Beiming City's military forces. The two families were incompatible like fire and water.
In terms of cultivation level, Zhou Jinnian was one of the Five Great Sky Emperors of the Great Games. On the surface, he was the strongest warrior in Beiming City, but he was better than Ye Huang.
However, under the constraints of the Covenant of Saints, having a high cultivation base was not very useful.
Zhou Jin said righteously, "I have come here for the people of Beiming City to ask for justice!"After saying that, Zhou Jinnian and a few other members of the Xuanming Tribe politely cupped their hands towards Ye Fan.
"Thank you, sir. For the citizens of Beiming City, Chang Yu and Ye Zhengqing relied on the Northern Army and Shen Long family's background to vent their anger.
Today, your excellency has done the right thing by exterminating them. This is a great pleasure!
Jin Nian, as the City Lord of Beiming City, the current Patriarch of the Dark Nether Clan, will never let anyone harm you! "
As he said this, Zhou Jinnian and the others stepped between Ye Fan and Ye Huang Tu, as if they were going to fight against Ye Huang Tu.
Zhang Ze Yu enthusiastically smiled at Ye Fan and said: "Rest assured, you are a guest here. Our Darknorth clan definitely won't let any of them touch a single hair on your head. "
This scene immediately made everyone feel that Ye Fan and the Dark Nether Family were on the other side.
As for Chang Yu and Ye Zhengqing, most of the people in Beiming City knew about them, but they did not dare to say it out loud.
After Ye Fan killed those two people and crippled them, the citizens naturally secretly supported him, and the hearts of the people naturally fell on the side of the Netherezim.
Many people, upon learning of what had happened, began to cast dissatisfied looks at the people of the northern army.
Needless to say, if Ye Fan was really a chivalrous hero, then Zhang Ze Yu and Zhou Jinniang's play would be quite good.If he couldn't guarantee it, then he would be taken advantage of by the Xuanming Family. He might even be able to borrow a knife to kill someone.
Even if he knew that they were using this as an excuse to win him over and not accept his favor, the Darkbright clan would not lose out. In any case, they had gained a good reputation and even suppressed the prestige of the northern army.Ye Fan secretly laughed in his heart. Unfortunately, Zhang Ze Yu and a few other smart people would never think that the person who tried to kill the northern army would actually be someone from the Divine Dragon clan!
