Chapter 146: Chapter 143: Sudden Change in the Situation 1
Translator: 549690339
Yang Chen did not expect this scene, but he knew that the occurrence of such an incident was by no means accidental. When a few guards approached them and accused them of injuring people in Liaocheng, it must have been done deliberately. He didn’t think that innocence could explain everything! If they were really taken away by these guards, how could it be easy to get out?
However, they didn’t offend anyone in Liaocheng, and their conversation with Golden Eagle Young Master went very smoothly.
“Whoever can mobilize these guards to arrest us must have a remarkable background…”
As Yang Chen’s thoughts raced in his heart, he suddenly thought of Young
Master Huang, whom he had met at the Yuan Family Commerce…
“Is it him?”
Yang Chen hurriedly looked sideways and, sure enough, he found Young Master Huang not far away, smiling gracefully, watching the scene unfold like a passerby.
This made Yang Chen narrow his eyes, harboring a murderous intent.
As he thought.
He didn’t believe for a moment that Young Master Huang was simply a bystander there.
Perhaps, they were tempted to take their treasures when they saw them take out those prized items.
Yang Chen exchanged glances with Yang Jinhe and, from each other’s eyes, they saw something.
Yang Jinhe obviously also noticed Young Master Huang.
But, the discovery seemed to come too late, as the guards took action immediately. Each of them was a master at the Spirit Martial Realm, and they subdued the group in an instant.
Yang Jinhe did not resist and sternly shouted, “Don’t move!”
If they resisted, they could struggle a bit, but Liaocheng was someone else’s territory. If they attacked these guards, they would be more severely charged, and no one would be able to save them then.
Yang Chen was also tightly controlled, but he kept thinking in his mind. Then, he said coldly, “Gentlemen, this matter has nothing to do with them. You can just take us two away. Let the other three go.”
Yang Chen knew that it would be hard for them to avoid being taken away today.
If possible, he hoped that he and Yang Jinhe would be the ones taken away, allowing Yang Wu, Yang Yuan, and Elder Yang to leave.
After all, Young Master Huang was not a fool either and could tell that Yang
Jinhe and he were the decision-makers. Naturally, he would not let them both
off easily.
Upon hearing Yang Chen’s words, Elder Yang worriedly said, “Take me instead! You can have my old life! Release Yang Chen and Yang Wu!”
“You country bumpkins think you can decide who gets captured? You’re suspected of murder, whether you’re caught or not, it’s not up to you!” the head guard scolded.
Yang Chen coldly said, “Enough. Gentlemen, you know exactly why you are arresting us. I don’t need to remind you. If you don’t release them, I can guarantee that you won’t get any of the treasures on us. This is what you’re after, isn’t it? There’s no need to catch more people for this. Whatever treasures you want, I’ll give you.”
Hearing this, the head guard narrowed his eyes. He did not expect a young boy to bargain with them. With his words, he managed to suppress them.
Yang Jinhe and Elder Yang did not expect Yang Chen to remain so calm during this time.
As Yang Chen thought, the guards’ intention in capturing them was to divide the spoils. Without the treasures, what would be the point of arresting people?
The head guard discussed with the others briefly before saying, “Kid, I’ll follow your instructions and release the three of them. But the two of you must come with us. Remember, don’t play any tricks. As long as you don’t leave Liaocheng, you are murderers and should pay with your lives!”
Yang Chen knew that the head guard was threatening him. He said coldly, “Don’t worry, I understand the situation. But before you take me away, I need to talk to them!”
The head guard hesitated for a few seconds then said, “There’s not much you can do, make it quick!”
Yang Chen called Yang Wu to his side.
“Yang Chen, you, let them arrest me instead. You are the genius of our Yang family; without you, what will happen to our family?”
“Hush!” Yang Chen said with a frown, “There’s no way I can escape today. But even if I am is captured, it doesn’t mean there is no chance for me to get out.
Yang Wu, bring your ear to me!”
Yang Wu heard this and quickly leaned closer.
Yang Chen whispered very cautiously, in case the guards overheard, “Later, leave with Elder Yang. I am afraid these people will not give up so easily and will still try to capture you. They only agreed just now to appease me and won’t take my words seriously.”
“So what should we do…” Yang Wu was stunned.
“As soon as you can, go to the Golden Eagle Commerce. It’s not far from here. From the demeanor of the Golden Eagle Young Master, it’s not hard to guess that the Golden Eagle Commerce has some status in Liaocheng. When you’re there, these guards won’t dare to act indiscriminately,” Yang Chen said.
Yang Wu was not foolish. He quickly understood and said, “You want to use the
Gravity Pill as a condition for the Golden Eagle Commerce to save us?”
“It won’t be easy. The Golden Eagle Young Master is smart; he won’t risk saving us for a Gravity Pill that he hasn’t even received yet. However, I have a way. Do whatever you can to see the Golden Eagle Young Master, and tell him that I have a way to cure his stubborn illness. I’m sure he will risk his life to find a way to get Clan Leader and me out!” Yang Chen whispered loudly.
Yang Wu hesitated for a moment.
Glancing at Yang Chen and Yang Wu whispering to each other, a guard beside them said, “Big Brother, what if this kid tries something?”
“Humph, try something? Some villagers from the Great Wilderness? They probably want to leave their last words. Too bad for them, they’re thinking too much. Do they really think that they can escape Liaocheng with these country bumpkins? I only agreed to this boy’s request just now to appease him. Once we capture them, those three won’t stand a chance either!” The head guard sneered. He didn’t take Yang Chen and the others seriously at all.
He had done many treacherous deeds. As for those country folks who came from the Great Wilderness, weren’t they at his mercy?
“Big Brother, you’re so wise. Well, these country bumpkins dared to bring treasures to Liaocheng? Hopefully, next time they’re born, they’ll be smarter.”
The head guard saw that Yang Chen and Yang Wu were still talking and coldly asked, “Are you done?”
“We’re done,” Yang Chen raised his head and emotionlessly said, “Alright, release the three of them and do what you want with us!”
“Good, straightforward! My brothers, don’t make it difficult for them, let them go!” The head guard waved his hand.
Elder Yang’s face streamed with old tears, “Yang Chen, you…”
“Elder Yang, don’t worry!” Yang Chen said softly with a smile.
Yang Jinhe took a deep breath, not knowing what Yang Chen was thinking. At this moment, he felt powerless. Although he had the heart, his strength was not enough to contend with the guards of Liaocheng..
