Chapter 1093 Scout
After hearing Ananda's shouts from outside, Chen Yang released the formation into the tree mound space and went out.
The two got into the carriage and headed directly to the City Lord's mansion.
Ananda looked at Chen Yang by himself and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
The captain of the City Lord's mansion's personal guards had already made a move once. Although Chen Yang had guards by his side to block, this time they were going to the City Lord's mansion. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Logically speaking, Young Master Chen should have had even more guards with him than before.
Those dozen or so Foundation Establishment True Realm cultivators around Young Master Chen were also a beautiful landscape!
"Are we just going, the two of us? Isn't Old Wu coming?"
Chen Yang closed his eyes and rested, slowly saying, "Old Wu is only at the Foundation Establishment True Realm now. If the people in the City Lord's mansion really want to make a move, it won't matter how many more people go."
"What? You want to leave your little life at the City Lord's mansion?"
Facing Chen Yang's questioning, Ananda's face showed some embarrassment.
He had been with Chen Yang for a while now and had a rough understanding of Chen Yang's personality.
Chen Yang hated it most when others lied to him, and more importantly, no one could deceive him...
Ananda simply spoke his mind, "To say I'm not afraid would be a lie."
"Don't look at the Si'an Chamber of Commerce in Yaogu City. We are considered a not weak force."
"More than a dozen Foundation Establishment True Realm cultivators, plus the shopkeepers below, there are quite a few people."
"But let alone our Si'an Chamber of Commerce, even if all the other chambers of commerce were added together, they would be like ants in front of the City Lord's mansion."
"The strength of the City Lord's mansion is displayed openly, and I apologize, you have seen it before. Crushing all of us would really be as easy as moving a finger."
As Ananda said this, his tone shifted, "But after I went, I thought about it carefully. You, a distinguished person, are not afraid of dying there."
"To put it bluntly, my life is not that precious!"
Ananda was essentially gambling that Chen Yang would return safely.
If that were the case, he could be considered one of Young Master Chen's personal guards!
Afterward, he could also get a larger share of the black market business.
Chen Yang looked at Ananda with some surprise. He hadn't expected Ananda to have such a realization.
"Hahaha, your life is still quite precious. If it weren't for your intermediation, the port and this matter wouldn't have been settled so quickly." kΑnshu伍.ξà
Chen Yang had considered contacting other chambers of commerce in Yaogu City through True Person Heigu before.
But after thinking carefully, if other chambers of commerce were involved, there would be too many people talking, making it difficult to control.
Besides, the Si'an Chamber of Commerce indeed had a stronger local influence than other chambers of commerce.
Encouraged by Chen Yang like this, Ananda's expression improved considerably.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the City Lord's mansion. As Chen Yang alighted, he saw many people around.
All of these people were dressed luxuriously, and of course, they were carrying many gifts. They were clearly here to deliver gifts to the City Lord's mansion.
Ananda, standing beside him, whispered an explanation in Chen Yang's ear, "These guys are businessmen from Yaogu City, those fellows."
Ananda then looked in a certain direction.
"The chambers of commerce behind True Person Heigu?" Chen Yang immediately guessed in his heart.
Ananda nodded heavily, his expression solemn, "They asked someone to inquire about the construction of the black market and the port before. After all, such a large movement couldn't escape their eyes."
"Do you think these people will cause trouble?"
Chen Yang sneered, "What are you afraid of? The black market business, do you really think the City Lord's mansion doesn't know about it?"
As the two of them got out of the carriage, many people immediately looked over.
The presidents of the other chambers of commerce saw this and started pointing fingers.
It wasn't that they were unwilling to interact with Young Master Chen. They had arranged for True Person Heigu to put in a good word for them multiple times, hoping to participate in some of the black market and port construction.
But True Person Heigu had said that Young Master Chen had no such intentions...
More importantly, True Person Heigu had disappeared now.
Even after searching everywhere, there was no trace of him!
As Chen Yang entered, he immediately saw someone familiar, the same Bamuge he had met at the city gate before.
The first glance Bamuge caught of Chen Yang, he hurried over.
"Young Master Chen, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you!"
Seeing the confused expression on Chen Yang's face, Bamuge leaned close to Chen Yang's ear and whispered an explanation, "After the City Lord learned that I knew you, he transferred me from the city gate to the mansion. Many people say I will soon join the personal guard!"
Bamuge's joy was evident as he spoke about these matters.
Bamuge was only at the ordinary Foundation Establishment True Realm.
In the outside world, he might be considered somewhat capable.
But serving in the City Lord's mansion of Yaogu City, this level of cultivation was truly only fit for guarding the city gate!
He lacked powerful cultivation techniques and didn't know influential people. His life would at most involve breaking through a few minor realms.
However, if he could join the City Lord's mansion's personal guard, it would be entirely different.
Not only would he receive cultivation techniques and pills... but even direct guidance from the City Lord.
These were things that the former Bamuge had never dared to imagine.
And all of this was thanks to the Young Master Chen standing before him!
Therefore, Bamuge was deeply grateful to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang chuckled, "The personal guard is the best! I saw it before, everyone in the City Lord's mansion's personal guard is at the peak Foundation Establishment level."
"If you really get in, you must cultivate diligently."
As Chen Yang spoke, he took out a pill from his tree mound necklace and quietly stuffed it into Bamuge's hand.
Originally, Bamuge didn't want to accept anything from Chen Yang. After all, he had such a great opportunity, and he should thank Young Master Chen. How could he take more things?
But when he saw the pill Young Master Chen gave him, Bamuge couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The things Young Master Chen gave him were always things he hadn't even dared to imagine.
Bamuge gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Chen, if there's anything you need help with in the future, just say the word!"
Chen Yang didn't say much, just looked at him with great admiration.
Then he left with Ananda.
Meanwhile, in the backyard of the City Lord's mansion, the captain of the personal guard listened to his subordinate's report and immediately said to the City Lord, "That Young Master Chen has arrived and brought a gift."
"However, according to the scouts, it's not a local specialty of our Yaogu City."
The captain of the personal guard had a group of scouts at his disposal!
The captain of the personal guard not only knew what Chen Yang had done today but also had records of every single thing Chen Yang had done since he entered Yaogu City.
The strength of these scouts might not be very powerful, but they were the most important force of the Yaogu City Lord's mansion.
