Transmigrating to the Song Dynasty: Water Margin Business Management

Upon hearing this, Chen Wenchang couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. The lord truly anticipated the enemy's moves, and such a meticulous plan actually succeeded! No wonder he was a fierce general on the battlefield back then!

However, Zhao Tianming is an official after all, and we need Uncle Chen's cooperation to prevent him from doing anything underhanded during this period!

"I understand!" Chen Wenchang nodded and said.

"Uncle Chen, take the 50,000 taels of silver back to Zhao Family Village, find a place to settle down, and wait for my news. If I'm not mistaken, Zhao Tianming will definitely send people to keep an eye on your every move this time," Gao Ke reminded him.

"I understand," Chen Wenchang nodded.

"My lord, once I return, Zhao Tianming will definitely be on high alert. It won't be easy for me to sneak in!" Chen Wenchang said, frowning.

I know. Gao Ke nodded slightly.

However, my lord, although Zhao Tianming is cautious, he is not very skilled. I am sure I can evade his eyes!

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Chen," Gao Ke said with a faint smile.

"Sir, you're too kind. It's all my duty." Chen Wenchang asked. "Sir, what are your plans this time?"

"Let's hold our positions for now! I'm sure Zhao Tianming will send someone to follow us, so let's patiently wait for him to send someone to monitor us!" Gao Ke pondered for a moment, then slowly said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wenchang nodded and then stepped back to prepare.

......

Zhao Tianming has been feeling unwell these past few days. He feels sore all over his body every day, as if his whole body has been run over by a car.

Zhao Tianming initially thought it was just because he was too tired and didn't take it seriously. However, on the third day, Zhao Tianming felt that his condition was getting worse, and he felt dizzy and weak all over.

"Oh no! I have to hurry and fetch the imperial physician!" Zhao Tianming realized something and immediately got up and rushed outside.

Just then, a knocking sound was heard at the door.

"Come in!" Zhao Tianming called out in a deep voice.

Then, Chen Wenchang pushed the door open and came in.

Chen Wenchang asked with a beaming smile, "Lord Zhao, are you feeling unwell?"

Zhao Tianming didn't answer, but waved his hand at Chen Wenchang. Seeing Zhao Tianming's sickly appearance, Chen Wenchang secretly rejoiced. He hurriedly ran back to his residence and told Gao Ke about it.

What is it?

Zhao Tianming is seriously ill!

"What?!" Gao Ke was shocked. "Seriously ill? Are you sure he's seriously ill?"

"It's absolutely true. When I arrived at his house, I saw that Zhao Tianming was in excruciating pain all over his body, so I immediately went to fetch the imperial physician. The result was that Zhao Tianming was seriously ill! The imperial physician said he had a fever and chills syndrome!" Chen Wenchang quickly explained.

"You can leave now. I know what I'm doing!" Gao Ke waved his hand, then sat down in his chair and began to think.

He's seriously ill, and it doesn't seem like he's faking it; he must be seriously ill. But why is he hiding the truth? Does he have some ulterior motive?

Or......

Upon realizing this, Gao Ke suddenly stood up and strode out of the house.

"Sir, where are you going?" Chen Wenchang asked hurriedly.

"I'm going to Zhao Tianming's residence!" Gao Ke said without turning his head.

In Zhao Tianming's villa, Zhao Tianming lay on his bed, looking ahead with a weary expression.

The butler, seeing Zhao Tianming's appearance, sighed inwardly.

"Sir, you should rest for a while. Your illness... sigh!" the butler said worriedly.

"No need, my illness is cured! You may leave!" Zhao Tianming waved his hand.

But......

"No need to say more! You may leave!" Zhao Tianming waved his hand again.

Seeing this, the butler had no choice but to bow and retreat.

......

After leaving the mansion, Gao Ke arrived at Zhao Tianming's residence. Zhao Tianming's villa was a small courtyard with four courtyards, surrounded by many guards. Zhao Tianming was used to a life of luxury, and the servants in his mansion were all the best people selected from the palace. Therefore, Zhao Tianming's villa was very well guarded, and ordinary people simply could not enter.

Gao Ke was extremely careful the whole way, trying not to be seen by anyone. But even so, he was still discovered.

"Who goes there? State your name!" A guard stopped Gao Ke.

"I am a friend of Lord Zhao Tianming, and I have come here today to pay my respects to him!" Gao Ke said, bowing slightly.

The guard scrutinized Gao Ke for a long time before finally nodding: Please wait a moment!

Then, the guard turned around and went back into the villa to report.

"My lord, Gao Ke has arrived," a guard reported in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, a sinister glint flashed in Zhao Tianming's eyes.

Gao Ke? Hmph! Zhao Tianming sneered, then ordered: Arrest Gao Ke!

Yes!

Gao Ke was brought over.

Bold!

What are you trying to do?!

Bold!

"Men, tie him up!" Zhao Tianming shouted.

Soon, several guards rushed forward and surrounded Gao Ke.

Gao Ke's face was ashen, his fists clenched tightly. He never expected that his plan would fail! Zhao Tianming actually suspected him.

"Gao Ke, do you think you can escape this time?" Zhao Tianming said coldly.

"Heh!" Gao Ke chuckled dismissively. "Zhao Tianming, you're far too naive. You've fallen for me this time, but next time, it won't be so simple!"

What do you mean? Zhao Tianming narrowed his eyes.

Zhao Tianming, I know you have some connection with the Zhang family, but this time you've fallen into my hands. Gao Ke's lips curled into a wicked smile.

"What? You actually found out about this? No wonder you're from a famous general's family, you're truly exceptionally intelligent." Zhao Tianming's pupils contracted slightly, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Upon hearing this, Gao Ke laughed heartily and said: "My intelligence is not something I learned by luck, but something I fought for with blood and fire!"

"Hmph! You think you can escape with your abilities?" Zhao Tianming sneered.

How will you know if you don’t try?

snort!

Gao Ke was too lazy to waste words with Zhao Tianming. He directly drew a long sword from his sleeve and thrust it at Zhao Tianming.

"Well done!" Zhao Tianming roared, drawing his sword to meet the attack.

The sword in Zhao Tianming's hand was no ordinary weapon; it was a precious sword that could cut through iron like mud, which he had obtained from the martial arts world.

It must be admitted that Zhao Tianming is quite skilled. Although Gao Ke's swordsmanship is good, he is hampered by his opponent's precious sword, so Gao Ke was at a disadvantage from the start and was quickly forced to the wall by Zhao Tianming.

Zhao Tianming pressed his advantage, smashing the hilt of his sword directly at Gao Ke's head.

Gao Ke reacted quickly, turning his head to dodge the attack, and then delivered a spinning kick that slammed into Zhao Tianming's chest.

Gao Ke kicked Zhao Tianming away, then turned and left.

"Trying to leave? Dream on!" Zhao Tianming roared, immediately using the Hundred Steps Freezing Technique to immobilize Gao Ke.

"Take down the traitors!" Zhao Tianming shouted.

Immediately, several guards rushed towards Gao Ke, but Gao Ke was a veteran of countless battles and already had a way to deal with it. In this era, no martial arts could hold him back. He fought off Zhao Tianming and the others' attacks while running away into the distance.

Gao Ke ran to the mountainside on the outskirts of the city, where there were few people and no buildings.

Gao Ke found a huge rock, then sat cross-legged and waited quietly for Zhao Tianming to catch up.

......

Upon seeing this, Zhao Tianming immediately ordered his guards to disperse and search for Gao Ke's whereabouts.

He chased after them on horseback at great speed, reaching the mountaintop in the blink of an eye.

This place was a forest, surrounded by towering trees. Gao Ke was hiding among the branches of a large tree, resting with his eyes closed, when suddenly a strong sense of danger descended upon him. Gao Ke quickly opened his eyes and saw a chestnut horse galloping towards him.

Gao Ke quickly flipped down and then swiftly hid in the canopy of a large tree.

"My lord, we're here!" Several guards quickly arrived and reported to Zhao Tianming.

"Yes!" Zhao Tianming nodded, then jumped off his horse and rushed towards where Gao Ke was hiding.

Zhao Tianming arrived at the large tree where Gao Ke was hiding. He reached out and probed the floor, but did not find Gao Ke.

He frowned, then looked towards the large tree where Gao Ke was hiding. Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly noticed a tattered cloth on the tree—a fresh tattered cloth, probably just torn.

He picked up the rag, unfolded it, and saw a note that read: I'm leaving now. Remember to take good care of your uncle!

Zhao Tianming was stunned for a moment, then quickly shouted to the surroundings: "Help! Gao Ke has escaped! Catch him!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Ke couldn't help but smile. His plan had indeed succeeded; as long as he escaped, reinforcements would come to his aid.

......

Just as Gao Ke was running out, Zhao Tianming suddenly stopped.

Because his ear twitched, the system alerted him to adjust his state. Zhao Tianming's expression changed; he suddenly sensed a strong sense of danger.

Zhao Tianming immediately looked ahead and saw a group of masked men in black rushing towards them. He felt a sense of foreboding; these people had arrived so quickly, it seemed he had underestimated Gao Ke.

"Gao Ke, you can't escape!" Zhao Tianming shouted through gritted teeth.

Soon, the group of people arrived in front of Zhao Tianming and surrounded him.

"Who exactly are you people? How dare you stop me from arresting Gao Ke!" Zhao Tianming asked in a deep voice.

The leader of the men in black said coldly: You don't need to know that. All you need to know is that you have nowhere else to go.

"Hmph, that's not necessarily true!" Zhao Tianming sneered.

"You don't know what's good for you!" The leader of the men in black shouted coldly, then swung his knife directly at Zhao Tianming.

Zhao Tianming dared not be careless and immediately drew a longsword to meet the enemy.

Clang... Ding... Rumble...

The two weapons clashed in mid-air, creating a deafening roar.

Zhao Tianming and the man in black fought to a standstill.

"Brother, this guy's martial arts seem pretty good!" one of the men in black said in a low voice, looking at the leader of the group.

However, no matter how powerful he is, he's just a martial artist, merely a samurai-level fighter, not worth mentioning. "If we brothers join forces, we'll make sure he dies a horrible death," the leading man in black said coldly, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.

it is good!

The other men in black nodded in unison.
