Your skills are excellent, and now I have them too.

Chapter 124 Things Don't Seem to Be So Simple

Sui Chaoyu felt very excited. He remembered when he first entered the Warrior Realm and took on his first job to kill an assassin. As soon as he got to the floor where the assassin lived, he saw several security guards standing at the elevator entrance.

He was young and panicked at the time, but the security guards didn't pay any attention to a teenager.

Now, he had become incredibly composed, maintaining a completely expressionless face, and simply said, "I'm worried about you all, go and keep watch."

Luo Tianchong frowned slightly, but did not interrupt. It was not that he agreed to the action, but that before the delivery was completed, they were still considered to be on the same side, and it was not appropriate to show any disagreement.

The goatee stared at him for a moment, then said, "There's no need for that."

Lu Zhao was ready to help cover for them.

But suddenly, the goatee laughed again: "However, Boss Luo, my master chose you to cooperate because he values ​​your caution. I've given him that face; if he wants to keep an eye on things, then let him."

Luo Tianchong breathed a sigh of relief, but secretly felt dissatisfied: a wandering knight is a wandering knight, always liking to act on his own.

This further strengthened his resolve. Once a stable trading channel was established, he would deal with the two outside thugs to prevent them from causing trouble in the future.

As Sui Chaoyu walked further and further away, Lu Zhao gradually became excited.

"It went much more smoothly than I expected."

Throughout the whole affair, his main role was to cooperate with Sui Chaoyu in the early stages to send out intelligence. When it really came down to it, he only took the coat and didn't make many other contributions.

"I'm doing such a small job, and I'll get promoted when I get back. I feel a little guilty, hahaha."

【Heart as still as water】

"Calm down, it's not over yet."

Lu Zhao followed the group to the back of the convoy to inspect the goods.

In fact, he didn't realize that he had another role: to play the role of a proud son during this time, seemingly bickering with his father on the surface, but actually caring for him in secret, just like a real father and son.

Therefore, Bu Tianyan was able to let Sui Chaoyu go with peace of mind because he thought, "Anyway, I have a hostage in my hands, so I don't think he would dare to play any tricks."

The group went to the heavy trucks to inspect the goods. If there were no problems, they could load the goods and complete the transaction.

This process wouldn't be short, and Sui Chaoyu had already reached the top of the sand dune. He took out his phone, entered the password he had already found out, the birth dates of Luo Tianchong's two children, and unlocked the phone.

"As expected, the signal is blocked. Modern signal jammers are really advanced; they can even interfere with spiritual energy resonance. I knew I needed to learn some high technology. I'll finish reading that engineering book later."

He muttered to himself, glanced back, stuck his sword into the ground, hung his coat on it, and ran down the slope.

He had to get out of the jamming range as quickly as possible, report the news, and then come back to return the phone, so as to buy time for the Qingming Guard and Linglong Guard to airdrop the phone.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhao, with Luo Tianchong's jacket draped over his arm, followed behind to inspect the goods.

Clang.

The container was opened, revealing rows of plastic crates inside. There wasn't even a layer of normal goods on the outside to make it look like a store. The firearms and ammunition were just piled up right in front of you, showing how rampant these criminal groups usually are.

The goatee beckoned, and the man with two swords took down several boxes and opened them for inspection.

However, since Luo Tianchong had connections with the state army, there were naturally no problems with the goods he sold, and the two brothers remained calm and composed.

Clang.

After randomly checking a few boxes in one truck, Goatbeard went to check the second truck, then the third, and the fourth.

Lu Zhao kept up with his quick thinking, but the more he looked, the more something seemed off.

Aren't these people being a little too unhurried?

Although this kind of business must be carefully inspected, there is a death sentence if caught. You should at least split into several groups to inspect together, improve efficiency, and finish the job sooner.

They looked like they were waiting for something.

Lu Zhao thought to himself, "Is he going to double-cross me?"

Just as this thought crossed my mind, I heard a sentry on lookout duty nearby shout.

"A car is coming!"

One sentence was enough to make hundreds of people change their attitude towards me.

Bu Tianyan immediately released the safety on his gun, shielding Luo Tianchong behind him, and the group's thugs also immediately raised their guns.

Lu Zhao unfurled his beam saber, pretending to be working very hard.

Seeing their commotion, the group of merchant rebels who came off the transport ship naturally became alert, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Take it easy, take it easy."

The goatee immediately raised his hands to indicate that he meant no harm, "He's the person I invited."

Luo Tianchong's anger surged, but it subsided in an instant. Bu Tianyan didn't lower his gun, glaring at him angrily: "Mr. Xu, isn't what you're doing against the rules?"

The goatee slowly lowered his hands, bowed, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Our identities are rather sensitive, so we always have to do more things at once, otherwise the risk would be too great."

"There's no reason for us not to give you a heads-up beforehand, is there? What do you think we're doing?" Bu Tianyan said fiercely.

The goatee smiled wryly and said, "It was indeed my fault. We can talk it over; I can offer more money."

Bu Tianyan cursed, "Bullshit! Do you think money can solve this business where your life is at stake? If we were that easy to talk to, our business would be too harmonious."

Luo Tianchong remained silent. If a deal was reached, he would scold Bu Tianyan and then step in to smooth things over.

The goatee still managed a wry smile: "Since things have come to this, there's nothing I can do. Please forgive me. But then again, if we're going to turn against each other, the men you brought, Boss Luo, aren't enough. If I were truly greedy, I could simply kill you and your men."

His tone remained polite throughout, but the content of his speech became anything but polite.

The woman behind them, whose feet barely touched the ground, chuckled a few times.

Bu Tianyan, who had a fiery temper, should have been furious at this moment, but he only gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Luo Tianchong, who was usually calm and collected, said, "Since that's the case, let's get started. The deal is canceled."

Click click.

That was just the safety released; now the bullet is loaded.

Lu Zhao was completely dumbfounded. Weren't you guys here to make money? Why are you suddenly planning to kill people?

Please, please don't let them merge!

Goatbeck hurriedly said, "No, no, why are you so angry, Boss Luo? I quite admire you; it would be a shame to kill you."

Luo Tianchong didn't want money, power, beauty, or strength; he just wanted dignity. His core purpose in making a deal with Shang Ni was to one day be able to live without having to be subservient to the powerful and wealthy people of Wanxiang Continent.

However, the goatee's seemingly polite but actually disdainful attitude was no better than that of the local tyrants, which made Luo Tianchong suddenly feel disillusioned.

He found himself seemingly unable to gain respect, a fate that had been sealed the moment he was born in the slums.

However, Bu Tianyan, who was always hot-tempered, grabbed his elder brother's arm at this moment: "As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn, elder brother..."

Luo Tianchong regained his senses somewhat, but did not order the guns to be put away.

At this moment, the convoy that had been reported from afar also drove up nearby.

Bang bang.

Several people got off the car.

Lu Zhao's gaze sharpened as he spotted a familiar face.

Isn't this the bald guy who shot me with a submachine gun on the elevated road before?

Why are members of the Zhao family here?

No, it's completely wrong.

He always felt that Luo Tianchong was a smuggler, only helping the powerful and wealthy in the county to smuggle weapons and share the profits. The state government was unaware of his secret collusion with Shang Ni.

Those officials are only after money and power; only a fool would provoke a rebellious party, which would lead to their own death and the extermination of their entire clan.

Luo Tianchong is an unorthodox individual, so it's understandable that he would cause trouble on his own. But the Zhao family is different. They are related to Governor Song Qingfeng by marriage, and their interests are intertwined. They have no motive to go it alone.

But the fact that the Zhao family did show up can only mean that Song Qingfeng knew about it.

How could he dare to do business with Shang Ni?

Recalling what the goatee had said earlier, Lu Zhao wondered if Song Qingfeng was really so audacious as to collude with the Shang rebels and plan to silence them after the deed was done.

As the local tyrant of Vientiane, what reason would he have to take such a huge risk to do this? It doesn't matter who he sells the weapons to, why does he have to find a bunch of rebels?

I have a feeling that things aren't that simple.

When the goatee let Old Sui go, I sensed something was off; his vigilance was far too low.

Lu Zhao glanced at the man, then looked at the group of people around him who looked like experts, and suddenly noticed a blind spot.

Of all these people, only the goatee had a blue special skill on his head; the others didn't. On the transport ship before, even a fat guy without a name had something called Thunder Clap.

Are they really here to escort goods? Shouldn't there be some incredibly powerful individuals among them? At least a gold-level special skill, right? At their current level, I feel like Old Sui and I could easily fight our way in and out seven times over.

You're so dense! Think about it, what's going on?

Lu Zhao switched the beam saber to his left hand, and reached into his pocket with his right hand to grasp the halberd.

An idea struck him; he thought of something that would be incredible for a typical criminal gang, but would be revolutionary in the business world.

These lunatics have some very reasonable ideas.

At the same time, Bu Tianyan suddenly woke up and looked over: "Where's Sui Chaoyu?"

He suddenly realized that something had happened; the Zhao family's convoy had arrived, and Sui Chaoyu should have arrived immediately.

Countless eyes were focused on Lu Zhao, but he believed that if the conjecture was true, there was no need to hide it anymore.

Swish.

hum!

The beam-shooting sword and the halberd unfolded simultaneously.
