Even though at this moment, Guo Xiong looked like he was going to eat Xiao Wen whole. However, aside from the initial panic, Xiao Wen was not afraid in the slightest.

He looked at Guo Xiong with a cold smile. At this moment, Guo Xiong was grabbing onto Xiao Wen's clothes. Xiao Wen laughed, "Liar? Brother Guo, if you want to beat a liar, go ahead and do it. Why did it come to my head? "

"You are the one I beat! What a good Xiao Wen, you actually dared to trick me, saying that if there is a Rainbow Flower that can make ice on the mountain, I will beat you up today! " Guo Xiong furiously glared at Xiao Wen as he grabbed his clothes.

However, Xiao Wen did not move in the face of that menacing killing intent. He glanced at the imperial guards and said, "This is the entrance to the imperial guard's residence. If Brother Guo feels like this one has fooled you, we can go there and confront him." Have I ever lied to you? The right decision will naturally be made. What? Brother Guo still doesn't trust Taiyuan? "

Hearing this, Guo Xiong's face turned green. At this time, he finally came back to his senses and looked behind Xiao Wen.

At this moment, the imperial guards had already drawn their swords and held them horizontally in front of their bodies. He looked at Guo Xiong and said, "How dare you make trouble for the people, how dare you behave atrociously in front of the Residence of Great Guardian. "Hurry up and let go of me, I'll take your dog life!"

Hearing this, Guo Xiong was instantly terrified.

If it was a one-on-one duel, he was naturally not afraid of the soldier in front of him. However, the other party had the County Governor's back. Offending that lord was not something that a small travelling adventurer like him could afford.

Guo Xiong looked at this soldier, and a few seconds later, a fawning smile appeared on his face. He looked at him and smiled: "General, please listen to me." This Xiao Wen was once the teacher of Ying Chuan Academy. However, not long ago, he was expelled from Ying Chuan Academy. The current him was only relying on the money his widowed sister-in-law used to make his wife red all day to buy wine. However, today, he probably doesn't have any money at home. He actually duped me, wanting to swindle some money from me to buy some wine. Presumably, the reason he came to look for the imperial guard was to swindle some money out of him. Therefore, the general must not listen to this villain's slanderous words!

Hearing Guo Xiong's words, a hesitant expression appeared on the soldier's face. He looked at Xiao Wen, wanting to give up.

"Good heavens, Guo Xiong, your ability to invert right and wrong is truly strong." I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. " Xiao Wen looked at Guo Xiong and scolded him.

"Isn't it?" Guo Xiong looked at Xiao Wen with a cold smile, as if he was sure that Xiao Wen would take him down.

"Are you going to kill them all? The method of making ice is not yours to begin with, is it really worth it for you to do so? " Xiao Wen whispered to Guo Xiong.

After the fight at the drugstore, he really didn't want to take the risk of battling Guo Xiong.

He had the ability to get rid of Guo Xiong's gang when he was prepared. However, he could not afford the legal costs that would follow.

When Guo Xiong heard Xiao Wen's words, he thought Xiao Wen had given in. Therefore, he advanced and said, "Obediently follow me back. As long as you hand over the real ice making method, I will spare your life."

"I'm afraid that even you, a Ranger, wouldn't dare to kill someone! If I go back with you, I won't lose my life, but I'll definitely get beaten up. " Hearing Guo Xiong's words, Xiao Wen couldn't help but retort.

"Whatever you say, the reality is here. If you don't come back with me now, you'll be in even worse shape later on. " Guo Xiong said.

"Is that so?" Hearing this, Xiao Wen helplessly sighed and said, "Don't tell me that for the sake of benefits, you can even abandon your brother?"

"What did you say?" Guo Xiong's expression changed slightly when he heard the trace of ill intent in Xiao Wen's words.

Looking at his expression, Xiao Wen understood that his idea was correct. So he said, "Aren't you surprised that I'm here? That's because after you left, I broke free of the rope and then beat the monkey so badly. If you go back now, you might even see the monkey dying. However, it was too late for him to return … "That might not be the case."

"What!" Hearing Xiao Wen's words, Guo Xiong flew into a rage. A sense of righteousness. As a hoodlum, it was him … Oh! No, it was the most important survival asset for a ranger. If he could give up his brother's life for the sake of benefits, then the people around him would definitely push him down.

At that time, even though Xiao Wen would have a life on his hands, Guo Xiong would be the most troublesome one to deal with.

"Just you wait, if anything happens to my monkey brother today, even if I, Guo Xiong, have to risk my life, I'll kill you." With that, Guo Xiong let go of Xiao Wen's clothes and stopped pestering him.

"Great!" "Great Hero Guo, I'll be waiting for you." Watching Guo Xiong leave, Xiao Wen said proudly.

Then, he turned around to look at the soldier guarding the gate and cupped his hands. "General, I will have to trouble you to inform him."

"No problem, wait here for a moment." The soldier nodded, turned around, and went in to report.

Under the invitation of the soldier, Xiao Wen entered He Heshen's mansion. After walking in a zigzag pattern for a long time, they finally arrived at a courtyard.

He looked at Heshen in the courtyard. This was Heshen's home, so he was wearing only his usual clothes. Compared to his usual appearance of dressing as a government official, he had lost a bit of his official prestige, but he had become a bit more easygoing.

"Student Xiao Wen greets Lord Grand Guard." Xiao Wen said as he walked in front of He Heshen and saluted with his hands folded in front of his chest.

In most countries of the world, scholars have all sorts of privileges. Among them, Da Ming was the most prominent. It inherited the original history of the Great Ming Dynasty to acquire the name of duty-free. However, this was only a big guy who did not take any examinations, and there was no way he could be tax-exempt from getting a place in the academy.

But at least he still had some special privileges. At least, in the presence of the envoy, Heshen, he would not have to bow down before an official.

If it was Guo Xiong, he would have kowtowed and kowtowed long ago.

"Xiao Wen, you came looking for me at this time instead of going to the Residence of Great Guardian. Do you have any explanation for that? " Although he had already guessed that Xiao Wen's goal was to find him as his backer, He Shen still pretended to ask.

"It's just some private matters, and it's hard to wait for the great hall. If we go to the Grand Guard and look for the Lord, I'm afraid we will defile the Lord's official uniform. " Xiao Wen said.

In Chinese tradition, doing business for an official was a taboo. Thus, if Xiao Wen were to negotiate a business deal with Heshen, even if the business deal had huge benefits, Heshen would drive him away without a word.

It was only in this kind of private situation that Hezhen, this old fox, would reveal a greedy expression and discuss business with Xiao Wen.

However, He Heshen wasn't anxious at all after hearing Xiao Wen's words. Perhaps from his point of view, although Xiao Wen's Ice Creation Art had benefits that were worthy of his attention, it wasn't enough to cause him to lose his composure.

Looking at Heshen, Xiao Wen took out what he had acquired today and said: "The students were entrusted by the Emperor to sell ice in the market. These are what you received today, and you will hand them over to your lordship as usual. Please have a look, milord. "

He Shen took the silver and looked at Xiao Wen. Both of them knew that the negotiations on the benefits of ice had already begun.
