Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

In the early morning, sunlight filters through the light mist, gently bathing everything in its warmth and softly awakening the slumbering earth.

dong dong dong.

A knock came from the tightly closed door of the Cao Gang, followed by a flurry of footsteps from inside.

squeak.

The door opened a crack, and Steward Chen's head peeked out.

"Chief Escort Zheng? You're here to buy horses again?"

Indeed, the person knocking on the door was Zheng Qian.

He was certain he could find the herbs last night because he knew the batch of herbs Qin Yong mentioned was in Cao Gang's basement.

"This镖头 (bodyguard/escort) is not here to buy horses, but to discuss a business deal with Chairman Zhang."

"Please wait!"

After finishing speaking, Manager Chen closed the door again.

Suddenly, the angry voices of Da Bidou and Zhang Xinghai came from inside.

Snapped.

"You good-for-nothing! My father has come, and instead of kneeling to invite him in, you locked him out."

Bang.

Zhang Xinghai kicked Manager Chen away and rushed down from the second floor.

The door opened, and Zheng Qian saw a fat head with big ears stick out, followed by a mouth with lower teeth covering the upper teeth moving up and down.

"Dad, why are you here? Didn't you leave? Sigh, I wanted to leave too, but I didn't dare. They're definitely out there trying to catch me. Becoming a fugitive is so distressing."

Zheng Qian's eyelids twitched violently. "Your father is the Grand Marshal of the State. Shouting like that could kill someone!" he thought. He quickly cupped his hands in a salute.

"Chairman Zhang, you can call me Chief Escort Zheng or just Zheng Qian. Please don't joke with me, I can't accept that."

Zhang Xinghai pulled Zheng Qian inside, looking mysterious.

"Dad, I'll show you a treasure."

Zheng Qian was speechless. "Can you please stop shouting? I can't take this kind of joke."

As soon as he entered, he saw Manager Chen kneeling behind the door, his face marked with a bright red handprint.

This lunatic is a real menace.

Upon reaching the second floor, Zhang Xinghai took out a piece of sheepskin and spread it out on the long table.

"Dad, what do you think of my precious baby?"

Zheng Qian immediately became interested. It was a map of Lvchang County, with streets, shops, and ditches all clearly marked, and even dog holes were marked.

It was also covered with dense fine lines, which were connected by circles.

"Dad, look at these escape routes I've come up with. What do you think?"

There are at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, lines here. Even a dog would shake its head at them, yet you ask me what I think?

What else can we do but tell the truth? He is the son of the Grand Marshal of the Nation.

"Mr. Zheng found it to be very reasonable and there was absolutely no problem with it."

"Haha, I think so too, there's absolutely no problem."

Zhang Xinghai stomped his feet with joy; finally, someone had confirmed his escape route.

That's hopeless, he's a severe case of mental illness.

"Zheng Qian?"

Suddenly, Zhang Xinghai opened his eyes wide and jumped three meters away.

"Who let him in? Prepare for battle."

Zhang Xinghai changed too quickly, and Zheng Qian couldn't keep up with his pace. He took a moment to catch his breath before speaking.

"Chairman Zhang, I've come to discuss a business deal with you."

"You stole four of my fine horses yesterday, how many more do you want to steal now?"

"It's not about horses; I want to buy the herbs from your basement."

Zhang Xinghai looked at Zheng Qian suspiciously, "Explain yourself, are you robbing or buying?"

"Buy it, you name the price."

After sitting down on the stool, Zhang Xinghai fell ill again.

"This is a map of Lvchang County, marked in such detail. Is it what you used to exchange for herbs?"

Zheng Qian really wanted to slap him to death. Couldn't he just stay normal for a little while?

"No, this is your map. You just said these are the escape routes you drew."

"Oh, so it's mine."

Zhang Xinghai suddenly realized that it was indeed his.

"Our Jinmao Chamber of Commerce values ​​equivalent exchange. What will Chief Escort Zheng use to buy my herbs?"

"Of course, it's real money, Chairman Zhang, please name your price."

Zhang Xinghai lowered his head and pondered for a while before speaking.

"Zheng Qian, I can give you the herbs, but you have to do me a favor."

help?

Zheng Qian immediately became alert. "What favor does Chairman Zhang want me to do?"

"Help me escape."

Zheng Qian breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Zhang Xinghai would offer some difficult conditions, but he didn't expect him to help him escape.

He talked with Qin Yong until midnight last night, and Qin Yong also talked to him a lot.

One point is why Magistrate He was working at the East Gate. He wanted to personally escort Zhang Xinghai out, to make a good impression on him, and at the same time ensure his safety in Lvchang County.

Even if He Zuowen had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't offend the prime minister's brother-in-law, let alone kill him.

Given this background, why would he need to flee? He would have been paid a large sum of money to leave the city.

Since Zhang Xinghai had already set the conditions, Zheng Qian naturally had to agree.

"no problem."

With a look of delight, Zhang Xinghai said, "Since you're not leaving, it means you're staying. I'll give you this map as a bonus."

Looking at Zhang Xinghai with a complicated expression, Zheng Qian had no idea what tricks he was up to.

Zheng Qian's map is still useful. In city defense battles, it allows for better strategic planning and escape routes.

"Thank you very much, Chairman Zhang. I will remember this favor."

This is a matter of personal favor, and Zheng Qian can easily separate the two.

"Stop being so formal and polite. When are we going to escape?"

"anytime."

Looking at Zheng Qian's confident face, Zhang Xinghai suddenly regretted it.

I've been trying to find a solution day and night, and you actually say it's possible anytime? You must be bragging.

With a smile, Zheng Qian noticed the doubt in Zhang Xinghai's eyes and said...

"I promise to take you to the city gate. If you are worried, I can walk with you. If anyone tries to stop me, I will take action."

Zhang Xinghai smiled, a happy smile, his lower teeth firmly covering his upper teeth, a very joyful laugh.

"Everyone pack your things and meet at the door in five minutes. We're going to escape."

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to remind Zhang Xinghai that Zheng Qian had killed so many of our people yesterday, and now he had fooled him with just a few words.

President, would you like to reconsider?

"Why don't we leave now? They don't have anything to take."

Zhang Xinghai's words made everyone realize that the chairman was not joking, and they hurriedly went to pack their things.

Hei Mao's team moved quickly, and in less than two minutes they were all lined up at the door, while only Cao's gang was still packing up.

“Don’t take Cao’s men. Your families are here. Why are you leaving? If you’re going to leave, take your families with you. Anyone who abandons their wife and children, I’ll kill them. You follow behind me and come back after I escape.”

Zhang Xinghai spoke with righteous indignation, saying that he had escaped and that Cao Gang's men would come back. As for whether he would be caught, he didn't know, but he was certain he wouldn't be caught.

For two days, Cao's gang members have been tortured to the point of near death by Zhang Xinghai. One second he's joking with you, and the next he'll slap you across the face.

Who can take care of such a lunatic?

Once everyone had gathered, Steward Chen opened the door, and Zheng Qian and Zhang Xinghai walked out together.

“Zheng Qian, if we just walk out like this, aren’t we just walking into a trap? They’ll attack us.”

"No, they wouldn't dare hit you."

"They wouldn't dare. You don't know, although Qin Yong is only in the mid-stage of the Bone Refining Realm, his blade is both fast and heavy. I can't beat him..."

On the city tower of the East Gate, Magistrate He watched Zheng Qian and Zhang Xinghai walk out of Cao Gang's gate. His calm face revealed nothing of his thoughts as he spoke to Wu Feng behind him.

"Prepare his things and see him off."
