At this time, the old ancestor seemed to have made up his mind, and his cloudy eyes became decisive.

How can he take advantage of others when a junior is so petty?

"No need for that. As long as you can fulfill your promise and prove that you are capable of helping the people of Bashan escape poverty and no longer have to endure material scarcity, poverty and backwardness, I will come forward to help you."

"Although you are a wanted criminal, I still have some dignity. Your Majesty will surely listen."

Upon hearing this, Guan Ning and Lou Xinyue's eyes lit up with joy.

"Grandfather, are you serious?"

The old man stroked his beard with a smile and said, "I am ninety-nine years old this year, and I have never broken my promise."

"Hahaha!" Guan Ning laughed and bowed with both hands: "Thank you, ancestor!"

"Oh, that's not necessary."

"The future belongs to you young people. I am old and don't have much time left. I will do as much as I can for Bashan."

"Besides, although I agree to help you, it is conditional. You must fulfill your promise first."

Guan Ning agreed immediately. He had already made plans back in Ling County, and Roland was enough.

"it is good!"

"Just wait, ancestor."

"Ten days at most!"

The old ancestor nodded, his eyes full of admiration for Guan Ning: "Then I will wait for your news. I am also tired. Nan'er, you can accompany Guan... and Ning Fei for a walk in my place."

"You young people, get closer and more intimate."

"Yes, ancestor!"

Guan Ning and the other two left.

The gray-clothed old man in his early sixties couldn't help but ask, "Grandfather, are you really going to help this person of unknown origin?"

"I've lived for almost a hundred years. I can still tell who is a good person and who is a bad person, who can be trusted and who cannot be trusted."

"Besides, I'm afraid my time is running out. After I'm gone, it's probably hard to find someone to take over. I must do more for Bashan. Perhaps this Guan Ning is a gift from God to me."

The old ancestor looked outside, his gaze gradually becoming deep and lonely.

An inexplicable sadness permeated the air, which was probably a premonition that every elderly person would have.

The old man in gray frowned, not knowing what to say, and finally just sighed.

……

That night, in a deep mountain surrounded by old trees, a dozen fast horses flashed by, accompanied by a carriage that made a rumbling sound.

"Lord Long, do we really have to hand over Liu Manor?" Such a voice came from the carriage.

Long Yun lay in the carriage, his face pale and bloodless. Fifty lashes almost shattered his pride.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with resentment and murderous intent. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "Give it to me, of course!"

"How can I not give what our ancestors have instructed?"

"But whether these bastards have a chance to take it or not, I don't know!"

"Grandfather, you guys forced me to do this!"

A ruthless tone emerged from his voice, even close to madness!

boom!

His hands crushed the ring into powder, it was so horrifying!

At the same time, Guan Ning had settled down in Bashan.

Although this place is deep in the mountains of Shu and the conditions are limited, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, with beautiful scenery, giving people the feeling of being in a paradise.

The lights were on in the small building.

Lou Xinyue was changing the bandage on Guan Ning's palm.

Suddenly he said, "I have a feeling that Long Yun won't just give up like this. The look in his eyes when he left today made me feel very dangerous."

Guan Ning nodded: "It would be strange for a man like him to give up."

"However, with our ancestors still here, he wouldn't dare to commit a crime against the wind, right?"

"Even if he comes, I have no fear."

"The most urgent task is to bring the scarce materials needed by Shu and provide Bashan with a stable route for trading materials."

Lou Xinyue stopped, looked up and frowned: "I was just about to ask you, where did you get these things?"

"You are a wanted criminal, everyone is calling for your death, you are penniless, and you even spent my money along the way." As she said this, her cold and beautiful face was a little speechless. This guy is really shameless.

Guan Ning chuckled: "The hermit has his own clever plan."

"I, Guan Ning, travel the world. How can I not leave a way out for myself? Just wait and see. In ten days, the supplies will definitely arrive."
