Chapter 347 A Near Miss

"President, what happened? Why did Hongjun leave right after he came back? I just cleaned up a room." Zhao Wuji came over and said puzzledly: "By the way, Hongjun was sneaky when he came back, as if something happened. What did you two talk about, President?"

Flanders turned his back and sighed, "I just hope Hongjun can listen to my words. Hey, Lao Zhao, it's getting late, you should go back and rest."

After that, he walked into the office on his own.

Zhao Wuji saw that he was worried. After hesitating for a moment at the door of the office, he still walked in and planned to ask what was going on.

"What happened? Are you not satisfied with Hongjun's cultivation over the years and drove him away? President, you are not an impulsive person. Can't you talk about it nicely?"

Flanders shook his head and said bitterly: "Lao Zhao, I think we have found the whereabouts of Yu Xiaogang and others."

"What do you mean?"

In the past, Ma Hongjun didn't feel much about the evil fire problem. Instead, he felt that the process of releasing the evil fire was very enjoyable. This kind of concept that has been incubated since childhood generally does not disappear with age.

In other words, what Ma Hongjun said was just an excuse. In the past, although Ma Hongjun's moral character was not very good. But at least he was upright. Even if he liked a beautiful woman, he would not YY in his heart, but tease her in person.

The only explanation is that Ma Hongjun was instructed by someone. And the person behind him needed money very much.

In summary, except for Yu Xiaogang and others who needed money to escape to the Xingluo Empire, other people did not need much money. If it was for marrying a wife, Ma Hongjun would definitely say it openly instead of being vague.

Flanders gave the money, firstly hoping to use the money to let Ma Hongjun save his life (in the case of personal danger). Secondly, the money can also allow Ma Hongjun to get away from those people and ensure that the quality of life will not be affected.

After listening to Flanders' explanation, Zhao Wuji punched the wall angrily, "Damn it, it must be Yu Xiaogang's idea. I have watched Hongjun grow up since he was a child, and he will never do such a thing."

Flanders walked to the window and looked at the crescent moon outside the window. He said with some shame: "People are always selfish, just like us, we will not give up our current life. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but I am afraid we can't do it from luxury to frugality."

"Xiaogang, I hope you will treat Hongjun well for the sake of our past friendship."

He was almost certain that Yu Xiaogang and others were somewhere outside the city. If he informed the city guards of the news at this time, he would get a reward regardless of whether Yu Xiaogang and others were caught or not.

He chose not to say it, largely for the safety of Ma Hongjun.

"Old Zhao, this matter is known to you and me, don't let a third person know, don't make fearless sacrifices." Flanders reminded. After all, money can be earned again if it is lost, but if people are gone, everything is gone.

...

After getting the money, Ma Hongjun handed it over immediately.

"Fatty, how did you get so much money?" Tang San asked in surprise.

It's not like he hasn't seen checks before. This kind of check with the seal of Flanders can be exchanged at any Wuhun Bank.

Yu Xiaogang took the check and took a quick look at it with the help of the faint moonlight. He looked at Ma Hongjun with a strange expression, "Hongjun, are you sure you didn't tell Flanders about our affairs?"

How could Ma Hongjun dare to say it. Among their group, there is a strong man like Bone Douluo; if he leaks the news, not only will he be in trouble, but others who get the news will also be implicated.

Yu Xiaogang touched his chin and casually placed the check on the desk beside him. "Flender must have guessed something. If we take this check to the Wuhun Bank in Soto City to exchange it, I'm afraid our whereabouts will be exposed immediately. Who knows, Flender may have sent people to wait at the Wuhun Bank. When we go to exchange the check, the army of the Tiandou Empire will swarm in."

Ma Hongjun was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the money in his hand would become a hot potato. "Master, this is impossible. Teacher..."

Tang San smiled faintly, "Teacher, the Tiandou Empire is wanted for me. We are not wanted by the Xingluo Empire, but the Xingluo Empire has not issued a wanted order for us. When we arrive in the Xingluo Empire, we can use this check. "

"The Spirit Hall has no obligation to arrest people for the Tiandou Empire, and the reputation that the Spirit Bank has accumulated over the years is not comparable to these 500,000 gold soul coins. At worst, we can spend the check directly. And I think that not only the Tiandou Empire, but even the Xingluo Empire should have underground channels to exchange checks for gold soul coins. "

What Tang San said was true. There are many merchants who exchange checks for people on the black market. Most of these people have some relationship with the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Bank is also very happy to exchange the checks they take for them, but they cannot exchange them in full.

The Spirit Hall also understands that these black and gray industries cannot be completely destroyed. Instead of doing this, it is better to use the hands of these merchants to earn more gold soul coins for them.

"Xiao San makes sense. Okay, Hongjun, you go back and rest first. If someone asks, you just say that you got up to go to the night, understand?" Yu Xiaogang reminded.

At this moment, Tang San and his party had no idea that their movements were firmly controlled by Dugu Bo.

"Hmph, this old guy Flanders is sensible. If he dares to embezzle the Chamber of Commerce's money, I will definitely clean up the mess." Dugu Bo snorted coldly.

The seal on the check was signed by Flanders himself, not the Canaan Chamber of Commerce.

To embezzle the Chamber of Commerce's money privately is to aid the enemy. This behavior is enough to sentence Flanders to death.

Although Dugu Bo could not control Flanders' personal money, he felt it necessary to report his behavior to Han Yu.

Through the communication soul guide, the two quickly established communication.

However, Dugu Bo thought that Han Yu would let him take certain measures, but unexpectedly, the other party did not mean to do so, but just let him continue to monitor.

Han Yu's idea was also very simple, to give Tang San a glimmer of hope, and finally let his hope be completely shattered. Only in this way can Tang San's fighting spirit be completely defeated.

The next morning, Gu Rong had been watching Ma Hongjun's movements last night.

Since the latter did not do anything out of line and was instructed by Yu Xiaogang, he did not say much about it.

Ning Fengzhi told him that their hope of revenge on the Spirit Hall in the future lies in the Shrek Seven Devils. He and Gu Rong are not young anymore, and their cultivation is almost impossible to improve. As for Tang San and other geniuses whose innate spirit power is generally above level eight, as long as they practice well, they will definitely surpass Gu Rong in the future.

Ning Fengzhi no longer ignores some of Yu Xiaogang's opinions as before, and even often agrees with the other party's ideas intentionally or unintentionally.

Although Yu Xiaogang is a master of plagiarism, he has real materials after all; the most important point is that the Shrek Seven Devils regard him as the backbone.

"Fengzhi, the disciples have been inquiring in the city for a while. Recently, the situation on the border between Xingluo and Tiandou Empire is a bit tense. I'm afraid it's not so easy for us to enter Xingluo Empire directly." Gu Rong whispered in Ning Fengzhi's ear.

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, and said in a deep tone: "The period of power change in the Tiandou Empire is also their weakest time. At the beginning, Emperor Xue Ye agreed to the request of the Spirit Hall for his own political achievements. And the Spirit Hall forcefully forced Emperor Dai Tianfeng to return the land annexed from the Tiandou Empire a hundred years ago."

"Ah~ Now, without our Qibao Liuli Sect, the Xingluo Empire is bound to fight with the Tiandou Empire to gain more benefits."

Ning Fengzhi seemed to be thinking about the Tiandou Empire in his words. After hearing this, Gu Rong was immediately furious, "Fengzhi, the Tiandou Empire persecuted us like this, and you still have the mind to speak for them "

Ning Fengzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No, Uncle Gu. Qinghe has joined forces with the Spirit Hall. Once a battle breaks out between the two empires and Dai Tianfeng is unwilling to pay enough benefits, the Spirit Hall is likely to join forces with the Heaven Dou Empire to attack the Xingluo Empire. The Spirit Hall's soul master combat power, plus the millions of troops of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Xingluo Empire will inevitably be defeated. "

"If the war breaks out too early, it will be more disadvantageous to us. In fact, we don't have time to accumulate enough strength. "

"Let's go, Uncle Gu, we can think of another way if we can't leave the country. "

Before setting off, under Yu Xiaogang's order, everyone went through a simple disguise.

The main wanted criminals could not show their true faces, and the human face masks made by Tang San in advance came in handy.

In order not to attract attention, they entered Soto City from different gates in different time periods with more than a dozen carriages.

At noon, they met at the border.

Ning Fengzhi held the title deed and the special pass, and their carriage naturally walked at the front of the team.

"Exit restrictions, you can leave the country only at 3 p.m." With the order from the captain of the guard army.

Ning Fengzhi's heart tightened, and what he worried about really happened.

They had gathered together, and if they stayed here for too long, the risk of exposure would increase.

At this time, Ning Fengzhi leaned out of the carriage and said, "Comrades, I am from the Xingluo Empire. My mother was seriously ill at home yesterday, and I urgently called my people back to the tribe. Please give me some convenience."

In the past, when Ning Fengzhi said this, even if there was no special pass, the others would give them some convenience.

But now, the situation between the two countries is tense. The Xingluo Empire continues to hoard heavy troops on the border, while in the Tiandou Empire, Xue Qinghe has just ascended the throne and has no intention of mobilizing troops within the empire for the time being.

It is true that the Barak Kingdom has autonomy, but at the same time, they also need to guard the long border with the Xingluo Empire.

Looking at the special pass in Ning Fengzhi's hand, the captain of the guard army snorted coldly: "Hmph, it's Shenshi, whoever dares to disobey the order will be killed without mercy."

For a moment, many guards looked at Ning Fengzhi with unfriendly eyes, as if they would rush up if Ning Fengzhi made any extraordinary moves.

At this time, Gu Rong was not easy to reveal his identity. Even if Ning Fengzhi was unhappy, he could only bear it temporarily.

"Sorry to bother you soldiers." After saying that, Ning Fengzhi returned to the carriage angrily.

"Fengzhi, have they discovered our identities?" Gu Rong said with a vigilant look.

"These people all have families. Once the two countries start a war, they will be the first to go to the battlefield. Alas, Uncle Gu, we can't change anything now. We can only hope that the Spirit Hall will come forward to mediate."

The only hope to avoid the war between the two countries is in the hands of their enemies. Ning Fengzhi looked bitter. They are not just in a passive position now.

In the carriage behind them, hearing the movement outside, Tang San said in a deep voice: "Teacher, I will get off the car to take a look. This is the most sensitive place in the Barak Kingdom. If we are not careful, we will be exposed."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head: "Xiao San, what we have to do is to reduce contact with outsiders. Even if you take money to please those guys now, it will often backfire."

"At this moment, waiting is what we should do. Moreover, the control of border travel is not accidental. It is very likely that there has been friction between Tiandou and Xingluo Empire. In history, there are not a few cases of war during the change of power."

Ning Fengzhi did not tell them about this. Yu Xiaogang could only make guesses based on the existing situation.

They were anxious to leave the Tiandou Empire, but secretly, someone was more anxious than them.

At this moment, Dugu Bo went to the headquarters of the guard army.

He had to go back and report as soon as possible, but he had no time to delay here.

"General, I have met His Majesty Dugu." The commander of the guard army bowed and saluted.

Dugu Bo had been granted a title by Xue Ye. In addition to his status as a Titled Douluo, he is also the Duke of the Tiandou Empire.

The Barak Kingdom is only a tributary kingdom. The Duke of the Tiandou Empire has a status here second only to their King Kundra.

"Let the convoy at the front pass. I have been ordered to go to the Xingluo Empire with them to collect intelligence."

Dugu Bo's simple two sentences instantly made the commander take it seriously.

The other party was above him in both strength and status, so he certainly didn't dare to ask too much, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment, I will do this."

With the commander's order, the captain of the guard didn't dare to object.

Soon, after getting the permission to pass, Ning Fengzhi's convoy successfully left the border of the Tiandou Empire.

"Strange, why did they change their minds?" Ning Fengzhi in the carriage was still a little confused.

Gu Rong shook his head, "Fengzhi, I didn't find anyone following us. Maybe it was Flanders who helped secretly."

If they were caught, Ma Hongjun's fate would naturally not be much better. Flanders has been operating in Soto City for a long time, and it is not difficult to have a relationship with the guards.

Ning Fengzhi just thought so and didn't think about it anymore.

Compared with other people, he still hoped that the person who helped them was Flanders.

Looking at the convoy of Tang San and others gradually going away, Dugu Bo snorted coldly: "If it weren't for Yanyan's next stage of training being too dangerous, the old man would be worried, you would just wait here slowly."

Although Han Yu didn't say it clearly about the next stage of training, he told him the degree of danger. For the sake of his granddaughter, Dugu Bo didn't want her to face it alone.
