Chapter 91: Chapter 82: Three Thousand Talismans? Borrowing from the Tang Family Again!_2
“With your abilities, and that slick-talking mouth of yours.”
“Becoming a favorite among the higher-ups of the Luo Family shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Tang Jian gave a helpless glance at his son Tang Rong beside him and whispered, “And then let you, my little brat, enjoy the good life in Qingshi Town?”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Tang Rong nodded with a beaming smile, but quickly, he came to his senses.
He shook his head vigorously, his expression quite serious as he said, “Old man, what does ‘enjoying the good life’ mean!”
“When Grandfather passed away, he entrusted you to take good care of me.”
“The thing Grandfather wanted most was to strengthen our Tang Family.”
“And now, the Tang Family only has you and me.”
“If we don’t make an effort, if you kick the bucket by accident, how could we face Grandfather underground?”
Tang Jian sighed again, turned his head away, seemingly no longer interested in listening to his son’s blather: “All you’re spouting is nonsense.”
“However, you just mentioned… showing off our abilities in front of the Luo Family…”
“That does make some sense.”
“Alright, let’s do that!”
“Since our Tang Family has decided to cling tightly to the Luo Family’s coattails, how can we afford to idle away without working?”
…
After making the decision.
Tang Jian, the current Family Head of the Tang Family.
Began visiting the Luo Family Ancestral Land frequently.
To get familiar and become a highly favored person under the command of the Luo Family’s higher-ups.
Naturally, this meant interacting more with the people from the Luo Family.
Once he was well-acquainted with the people of the Luo Family.
Displaying his abilities would then be a piece of cake, wouldn’t it?
…
And so, just like that.
The vast Huai Shui County passed by another stable and tranquil three days.
During these three days, Tang Jian, the current Family Head of the Tang Family.
Not only did he frequently visit the Luo Family Clan’s land.
He also got on familiar terms with Luo Yong, who was stationed outside Qingshi Town, in the military camp.
In this cold and cruel world.
While strength is often the most important thing.
Having a silver tongue often counts as a significant advantage to many people.
“Brother Luo, Brother Luo.”
“Great news, great news is coming…”
Outside Qingshi Town, within the military camp.
In one of the largest tents,
Tang Jian, the current Family Head of the Tang Family, with a big grin on his face, hurriedly jogged in the direction of Luo Yong.
“Oh?”
“It’s you, huh?”
Luo Yong, who lounged casually in the chief seat, looked at Tang Jian and let out a yawn, asking in a low voice, “What’s your business with me?”
“Good news, of course, great news.”
Tang Jian chuckled and whispered low.
“What good news?” Luo Yong asked.
“Brother Luo, from my observations of the Luo Family, has our Luo Family been somewhat short of grain recently?”
“Could it be because of the food shortage that even the nearby towns are a bit too scared to attack?”
“Oh? How did you come to know of this?” Up until now, Luo Yong’s expression finally became a bit more serious.
Even that so-called ‘our Luo Family’ Tang Jian mentioned,
He no longer paid much attention to it.
“Naturally, because I can deduce and calculate,” Tang Jian said.
“Brother Luo, you’ve known about this for a while…”
Luo Yong narrowed his eyes slightly, thought a bit, then asked again, “If that’s the case, why are you bringing this up so openly?”
“Brother Luo, I already told you, there’s good news!”
Tang Jian said with a smile.
And now, things have come full circle.
“What good news? Speak up, or do you believe I’ll thrash you?”
Luo Yong frowned slightly, his patience evidently wearing thin.
“Grain, the Tang Family’s grain,” Tang Jian whispered.
“What do you mean?” Luo Yong was somewhat confused.
Luo Yong had not dismissed the idea of reaping some benefits in recent days.
However, the main issue was that the Tang Family had recently been fortifying their defenses a bit too strictly,
Making it difficult for Luo Yong to make a move.
“Just now, I calculated that the Tang Family will secretly send out a trade caravan tomorrow, carrying a large amount of grain.
“Then, they’re off to swap it at Luo Mountain Prefecture for other daily necessities.
“If Brother Luo can intercept the grain carried by that caravan tomorrow…
“Wouldn’t that alleviate a major part of the food pressure?”
“You do have a point,” Luo Yong nodded in silence, but shortly after, he looked at Tang Jian with some disbelief and asked, “But is your information reliable?”
“Reliable, it’s definitely reliable.”
“Brother Luo, you must trust me.”
Luo Yong looked at Tang Jian, thought for a moment, and then said somewhat helplessly, “This… alright, fine!”
…
So, with Tang Jian’s so-called accurate predictions,
The next day, Luo Yong brought three thousand elite troops,
And positioned themselves on the caravan’s inevitable route.
However, what happened next… seemed to deviate a bit from what Tang Jian had stated.
And as Luo Yong waited another hour,
He finally became impatient.
He turned his head, his face stern, and asked Tang Jian in a low voice, “Where’s the caravan? Your information better not be misleading me.”
Although Tang Jian didn’t turn his head,
Just by the tone of Luo Yong’s voice, he could clearly tell
His ‘Brother Luo’ was not too pleased.
