Don't be tempted, sir

Song Xiaoyuan rode back to Ran'anju, and Awu reported, "Sir, those assassins just now were from the Qiannan Army!"

"Okay! Leave no one alive!"

The servant reported, "Sir, Magistrate Feng wants to see you!"

"pass!"

Governor Feng bowed to "Sir Song"

Song Xiaoyuan calmly asked, "Sit down, Magistrate Feng, have you made up your mind?"

"Your Excellency, I have thought it through! Your Excellency knows what Lord Song has suggested. Liu Ben is in charge of the Qiannan military camp and often smuggles weapons to other countries. Your Excellency... I approved some documents and certificates for him to pass through. Now your Excellency does not want to take any more risks! Not long ago, your Excellency heard that the prefect Zhang in the capital had resigned and there was a vacancy for the prefect in the capital, so you asked Lord Song for help! As long as I, Feng Ke, go to the capital, I will follow Lord Song's lead!"

Song Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "Oh? Is that so? It seems that Lord Feng hasn't made up his mind yet!"

"Sir Song, everything I say is true!"

Song Xiaoyuan drinks tea. "Now Liu Ben wants to kill you and me, so Feng Zhizhou decided to bring him down! Well... it's okay for me! I can still be useful to Liu Zhongjun. As for Lord Feng... I don't know."

"Sir Song! Please protect me! I can collect all the beauties in Qianzhou for you."

A Wu on the side spat, "Pah, you really think our young master is such a mean person!"

Song Xiaoyuan "......"

Ah Wu continued, "The news you received was just fake news we released! Our young master is so selfless that he won't even look at your bribes."

Feng Ke stumbled back two steps. "This... then... why did Lord Song agree to my invitation?"

"Sir, of course, he wanted Feng Ke to see you board his ship, so as to drive a wedge between you two! But I didn't expect that when Magistrate Zhang resigned unexpectedly, you, Feng Ke, got jealous and boarded the ship easily!"

Feng Ke was at a loss at the moment. "I just... I just don't want to take any more risks. It's all because the news from the capital suddenly stopped! Otherwise, why would I need your help, Song Xiaoyuan!"

Song Xiaoyuan said, "Pei Songming! Well... he is inferior to me, but he can still handle the post of prefect."

Feng Ke looked up in disbelief, "You, how do you know that I have a relationship with Master Pei?"

"Pei Songming is in contact with you and asked you to win over Feng Ke to work together. The weapons you mentioned... Tsk... It's better to say it's hidden than smuggling! And what is smuggled is the marching formation. This plan is terrible!"

Ah Wu continued, "You know how much military equipment was approved and how much old military equipment was destroyed. All of these were recorded in the memorials! You think His Majesty doesn't care about these things, but you forget that our young master is not here to eat for free."

Song Xiaoyuan "......"

Feng Ke was still unwilling to give up. "Isn't it just some military equipment? Lord Song, you also said that we just hid some and it will be fine if we come out again!"

Song Xiaoyuan sneered, "It seems that Lord Feng really doesn't know! Ah Wu, take Magistrate Feng away and don't let him die..."

On the other side, Shen Rushan was secretly taken away from the inn.

Liu Ben signaled his men to take off Shen Rushan's hood, and Shen Rushan then realized that he was in the military camp.

Liu Ben stepped forward politely and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lang! This matter is really too confidential, that's why..."

"Master Liu, what on earth is going on?"

"I just want to ask the merchant to bring me something! It's nothing, just a scroll."

"Just a scroll? Why is it here?"

"Hahaha, it's not good for you to know too much! It's just a scroll! Take it to Mengguo, and someone will come to take it away after you leave the gate of Bianzhou!"

"This... could be life-threatening!"

"Hey! Merchant Lang is worrying too much. As long as Merchant Lang has a relationship with Song Xiaoyuan, who would dare to harm you? Even I, a general, wouldn't dare to do that! So, I'm just being polite and letting Merchant Lang have a seat!"

Shen Rushan pretended to hesitate, and Liu Ben handed him a tray full of gold. "Come on! Don't worry, Merchant Lang, here are ten ingots of gold! And one thousand taels of silver! It's faster than going on business!"

Shen Rushan pretended to be shaken, his eyes shining as he looked at it, "Okay! It's just a scroll anyway! I can even move corals, so a mere scroll is nothing."

"Hey! That's right! Money is everything!"

Then he took out the scroll from behind the screen and handed it to Shen Rushan, "Brother Langchuan! If you succeed, there is another plate of gold!"

Shen Rushan held him in his arms, "Hey, okay! I'll leave the city tonight!"

"Okay, come on! Send Merchant Lang back!"

Shen Rushan returned to the inn and asked everyone to get up, pack their bags and set off immediately, taking the scroll out of the city.

"Reporting to the Central Army, Langchuan and his entourage have left Qiannan City. Feng Zhizhou has not yet come out of Ran'anju, and Ran'anju is now playing music and dancing.

"Okay! Feng Ke, ah Feng Ke, you don't want to do it anymore and don't want to help with the smuggling. You turn to Song Xiaoyuan. That's fine! I, Liu Ben, have found someone who is willing to transport the goods, and this person can also drag Song Xiaoyuan into the water! Hahaha, let's see if you, Feng Ke, will beg for mercy then!"

Liu Ben smiled sinisterly and said, "Come on, let's go watch Ran Anju's singing and dancing, taste their wine, and kill Yan Di's left and right arms!"

"Central Army, we haven't received any orders from above. This...is not good!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Go!"

A group of people rode to Ran'an Residence and broke into the house.

Song Xiaoyuan walked out slowly and said, "Liu Zhongjun, the door is open, why is this happening?"

Liu Ben, who was riding on the horse, sneered and said, "Hello, Lord Song! Lord Song, you tell me... you are a civil servant, so weak, how many moves can you take from me?"

Liu Ben, the flatterer, said, "Hahaha, he is such a literati, no! A lewd literati, let alone a few moves from the central army! I'm afraid I don't even need a single move, I can handle him!"

A group of people laughed, "Hahaha! He is so lustful! He has to bring a beauty with him when he goes out for an examination. I'm afraid he has a sign of impotence!"

"She looks even prettier than Xiang'er, the top prostitute in the brothel! Could she be a girl? Hahahaha"

Liu Ben looked at his indifferent eyes, and was not annoyed even though he was mocking her. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled seductively in his dark blue robe. He spoke timidly, "Song Xiaoyuan...what tricks are you playing?"

Song Xiaoyuan asked playfully, "Oh? You only realized it now?"

Liu Ben was furious and wanted to kill Song Xiaoyuan who was standing there on his horse. "What on earth do you mean?!"

Song Xiaoyuan stood in the garden, watching him get angry, watching him pull the horse up to trample him to death. He looked up at the raised horse hoof, but did not move.

The two chains of arrows shot out from the left and right, piercing the horse's chest. The horse wailed in pain, and the chains on both sides were tightened. The horse fell to the ground with a heavy weight! Liu Ben on the horse also fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, "You..."

Song Xiaoyuan didn't move at all. "Get it!"

Ah Wu asked, "Sir, those people who spoke rudely... must be killed!"

"...…Keep the useful ones, and you can handle the rest."
