Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

At the West Fourth Street Inn, Zheng Qian ordered a table full of dishes, and after much deliberation, he finally asked Ya Lan for help.

“Aunt Lan, our Chamber of Commerce was attacked by the guards today. Except for the caravan in the North District, which suffered no casualties, the other two caravans suffered heavy casualties. Many people were captured by the guards, including Zhang Tiezhu. Please help us, Aunt Lan.”

Ya Lan stretched and said, "You're really not being polite, treating me like a free bodyguard."

"Mom, please help Zheng Qian. He risked his life to see us off when we left Lvchang County, Mom." Jiang Siting shook Ya Lan and pleaded, her voice almost cloyingly sweet.

"Okay, okay, I really can't stand you." Ya Lan couldn't resist Jiang Siting's request and readily agreed.

"It's just the guards, no big deal. But Tingting, you should get some training too. You and Zheng Qian will go together to rescue Zhang Tiezhu. This time, your Aunt Hong and I won't lift a finger; we'll see how you perform."

"Okay, I knew it, Mom loves Tingting the most." Jiang Siting leaned her head on Ya Lan's shoulder and acted coquettishly, blinking her big eyes at Zheng Qian.

Zheng Qian smiled at Jiang Siting, then suddenly met Ya Lan's meaningful gaze, and awkwardly buried his head to serve food to the three of them.

He had benefited greatly from Ya Lan, receiving elixirs and witnessing power beyond the realm of martial artists at Malanshan. A few days ago, he received guidance from Ya Lan and acquired the "Starry Sky Illusionary Steps," and now he has her help in dealing with the guards. He owes Ya Lan a great deal, and he also owes Jiang Siting a great deal.

Zheng Qian didn't dare to talk about repaying them, since Ya Lan and Fei Hong could fly around freely. His style of doing things could be summed up in one word: steady.

Zheng Qian, who prioritizes stability in his work, would never make promises lightly.

So when he came out of the inn on West Fourth Street, he made a promise to the business tycoons who had not been arrested and had gathered in the side room.

"You find where the brothers are being held, I'll storm in and rescue them, you stay outside and provide backup."

"President, they were captured by the guards. If we want to rescue them, we need to find the Fourth Prince."

"Yes, only the Fourth Prince can save everyone now, so let's find the Fourth Prince."

What everyone said is true; asking the Fourth Prince can indeed get someone out of trouble, but would Zheng Qian actually go and beg the Fourth Prince?

That's ridiculous. With Ya Lan around, Yan City would be turned upside down. He's just a mere fourth prince; if you don't like him, you can just kill him on the spot.

Then, stepping on the fourth prince, I'll raise my arms and shout: "Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?"

It's exciting just to think about it, but unfortunately, none of the people Zheng Qian knows have such ambition. He is determined to travel the world with his sword, and after seeing Ya Lan's flying technique, he is even less likely to stay in a small place like Wu Yan Kingdom.

"The Fourth Prince?" Zheng Qian sneered. "The Fourth Prince is nothing. All you need to do is find where they are being held, and I'll just storm in, rescue them, and that's it."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. President, can you please not be so reckless?

Boasting is fine, but insulting the Fourth Prince will get you beheaded.

Royal majesty is inviolable.

"President, we all believe in your fighting strength, but we still need to discuss a strategy. We can't act impulsively. President Tiezhu is my elder brother, and I'm anxious too. My people are already inquiring about where they are being held, and we'll have news soon. We'll find our connections to get them out."

Zhang Dayou had half a head of white hair. He spoke sincerely, also giving Zheng Qian a way out. He was heartbroken that the caravan had been attacked by the guards; after all, he had invested 300,000 taels of silver, even his life savings, and he couldn't afford to lose it all.

"Yes, Chairman, let's wait and see, there will be a way."

“Our network is extensive, covering the entire city of Yan, and I believe we will have news soon.”

Everyone was genuinely afraid that Zheng Qian would go to rescue people alone, which would be no different from courting death.

No matter how powerful you are, North Gate Killer, can you defeat 100,000 guards?

Just then, a strange voice rang out from outside the room.

"Father, you've come to Yancheng, why didn't you come to see me?"

Following the sound, everyone looked and saw a fat man in his forties walk into the room, along with a foul, rancid smell.

"Oh, it's Lord Zhang! I've heard so much about you!"

"Lord Zhang, it's been a long time since we last met. You are still as radiant as ever."

"Lord Zhang is truly a dashing and romantic man, a role model for us all."

The visitor was none other than Zhang Xinghai, the only son of the Grand Marshal of the State, the Prime Minister's brother-in-law, and a notorious lunatic in Yancheng.

At this moment, Zhang Xinghai's blue silk had turned black, his hair had turned into a pile of dry straw, and his entire body, except for the whites of his eyes, was black, emitting a foul odor.

"Zhang Xinghai, how long has it been since you took a shower?" Zheng Qian immediately took three steps back; this guy really stinked.

“Dad, I haven’t showered since I came back from Lvchang County. I’ve been busy with the things you mentioned and forgot to take a bath. I heard about the collapse of Qixin Building and only then did I find out that you came to Yancheng. That’s why I rushed over here immediately.”

Zhang Xinghai was beaming with excitement; he was overjoyed to see Zheng Qian.

"Don't say anything, go take a shower and change your clothes before you come back."

"Okay, Dad, wait for me, I'll be right there." Zhang Xinghai excitedly ran to the nearest bathhouse to take a shower, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment.

Does the chairman know Zhang Xinghai?

Zhang Xinghai calls the chairman "father"?

Zhang Xinghai listens to the chairman very much?

Is Zhang Xinghai busy with what the chairman mentioned?

At this moment, they really couldn't see through Zheng Qian. Perhaps Zheng Qian could really rescue the brothers of the Chamber of Commerce without seeking help from the Fourth Prince, after all, Zhang Xinghai had that kind of power.

As for Zheng Qian saying he would charge in and rescue his brothers, only a fool would believe that.

Half an hour later, Zhang Xinghai changed his clothes, shaved his beard, combed his hair, and returned to his prosperous appearance.

"Father, when did you arrive? Why didn't you come looking for me?"

Zheng Qian was speechless. Had this guy gone crazy again?

"I've only been here a few days. Also, stop calling me 'Dad,' I'm annoyed by it."

“Okay, Dad, let me tell you, after I came to Yancheng, I reported the teaching method you mentioned. Guess what? They all laughed at me for being fanciful and didn't believe what I said. They just gave me a sign for Juxian Academy to hang in my house and that was it. I swear I won't leave my doorstep until I make a name for myself.”

Zhang Xinghai grew angrier as he spoke. His proposed methods for reforming education were easily swayed by the Crown Prince, who simply awarded him a plaque for the Juxian Academy and sent him on his way. It was truly outrageous.

Zheng Qian was in a bind. He needed to find where Zhang Tiezhu and the others were being held, and he had no time to listen to Zhang Xinghai's complaints. He immediately said...

"Since you won't leave even a step, then go back and study it carefully."

Looking at Zheng Qian with suspicion, Zhang Xinghai seemed to have gone crazy again.

“Father, I didn’t take a single step; I walked this path step by step.”

Zheng Qian waved his hand, "Zhang Xinghai, I'm not in the mood for jokes right now. Go away, don't interfere with our business."

"No way," Zhang Xinghai said with a lewd smile and a mysterious air.

"Father, the Fourth Prince wants you to take Jia Shi to Qixin Tower. He wants to see you."
