General of the Heavens

Chapter 53 Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun [Seeking Recommendations]

"Who on earth is this, daring to steal our thunder?" Ning Chen asked, as there didn't seem to be such a person in the original story.

Luo Laowai grumbled and said reluctantly, "Brother, you don't know, in such a vast Xiangxi region, I'm not the only one who's in charge."

That gang made their fortune and grew powerful through smuggling. They were involved in numerous murders and robberies. Their leader, nicknamed "Wolf Lord," stepped down in recent years and handed over the reins to his son.

That little bastard is sometimes even more arrogant than his father, daring to steal my territory. This time, we're preparing to expand our military to teach him a lesson!

Smuggling goods is essentially the act of smuggling goods, and it is inextricably linked to opium, otherwise it would not have developed so rapidly.

"It seems we can only make money peacefully, Commander Luo. Don't blame me for telling you the truth, but our family can't eat all the food in Ping Mountain."

Chen Yulou had already realized the seriousness of the matter. This tomb raiding at Ping Mountain was an unprecedented event for the Xieling lineage, and the rewards were equally impressive.

These days, there are always some people whose noses are sharper than a dog's; they can find you just by smelling you. Chen Yulou was prepared to swallow this bitter pill, otherwise, with his thousand or eight hundred bandits, how could he possibly be a match for a major warlord?

Luo Laowai angrily yanked his head and slammed it down. This bastard always picks the best time. He worked so hard to break into the Ping Mountain Ancient Tomb, and in the blink of an eye, someone else got a share of the spoils.

It feels like you're eating meat one second and then eating shit the next; it's definitely going to make you feel uncomfortable.

Ning Chen asked, "How much?"

Chen Yulou thought for a moment and said, "If we split it in half when we meet, that bastard will definitely ask for an exorbitant amount. But we didn't steal Bottle Mountain together. At most, we'll give him 30%."

"Thirty percent! My dear Manager Chen, thirty percent! That's enough to equip an entire division, and you're just going to give it to him so generously?"

Luo Laowai immediately became anxious.

Chen Yulou waved his sleeve, his face ashen, and said, "What else can we do? Are we supposed to push him too far and wipe us out, taking all our stuff? If this were our territory, would I be afraid of him?"

"But... if he has the power to wipe us out, why would he agree to let us have 30%? Wouldn't it be better to kill us and take 100%?"

Hong Guniang, who was standing next to Partridge Whistle, suddenly asked a question, which made everyone laugh. Chen Yulou tugged at Hong Guniang's arm.

"We're not stupid. If they dare to make a move, we'll smash all our treasures. Then they'll be crying their eyes out!"

"Uh... I see..."

Hong Guniang smiled awkwardly but politely. Chen Yulou clapped his hands and said, "That's settled then. Send someone to negotiate. It would be best if they could give us a smaller amount."

"General, something terrible has happened!"

Just as everyone had agreed on the distribution of the spoils, Luo Laowai rushed over in a panic, his face filled with fear.

"You piece of trash, what are you panicking for!"

Luo Laowai kicked the man to the ground and cursed. The messenger rolled twice on the ground before stammering, "General, the lady... and the young master... have all been arrested!"

"What! You bastard, where did you get this information? Madam is clearly still at home, hundreds of miles away. How could she have been captured!"

Suddenly, Luo Laowai pointed the gun at the man's head, and the man was so frightened that his crotch opened up and he peed.

"Really...really, they even sent someone to deliver a message to the commander-in-chief..."

"What are you saying! Speak up now!"

"They said...the young master doesn't look much like you, but rather like him. They also said...they wanted the commander to change his name to 'Old Man Luo'..."

"Fuck his grandma!" Old Luo's eyes widened in anger. His son was handsome, but that was because he had raised him well. So what if he looked like someone else?

"Hey everyone, grab your weapons!"

Having suffered such an insult, Luo Laowai could not tolerate it and wanted to gather the pistol battalion and the rest of his men to fight the enemy. Chen Yulou quickly stopped him.

"Calm down... calm down... Commander Luo, this is a huge mess! They probably didn't expect us to find so many treasures in Ping Mountain, and instead targeted you! You can't fall for their trick!"

Chen Yulou knew that what Luo Laowai hated most in his life was that some people said his son didn't look like him, but for now, the overall situation had to be taken into account.

"Then tell me, what should we do?"

"I'll go talk to him. Once we get the treasure right to his doorstep, do you think he'll still be willing to kill us?" Chen Yulou said.

"No!" However, as soon as Chen Yulou finished speaking, two people objected immediately: Partridge Whistle and Red Girl.

Although Hong Guniang had already fallen for Partridge Whistle, she never neglected Chen Yulou, thinking, "It's better to let Luo Laowai do it..."

Luo Laowai: "..."

Compared to Red Girl's simple idea, Partridge Whistle's words made a lot of sense: "Second Brother, how could they believe your silver tongue? Besides, even if you're cunning, they'll be wary of you at every turn."

"But if I don't go, we can't let Commander Luo go, can we?" Chen Yulou said helplessly. Unexpectedly, Partridge Whistle said again, "This matter cannot be left to Commander Luo. Only if Commander Luo goes will the other side know how many treasures are in the mountains, and it won't come to a fight to the death."

"But what if something happens to Marshal Luo..."

Partridge Whistle cupped his hands in greeting: "I am fortunate to have joined you all in robbing the ancient tomb of Ping Mountain. Now that a formidable enemy is at hand, I will do my utmost to help. With Commander Luo going with me, you can rest assured about Commander Luo's safety, Second Brother."

Chen Yulou was touched by Partridge Whistle's chivalrous act, but thinking about how Partridge Whistle had overcome so many dangers and now he was being asked to take risks again, Chen Yulou felt sorry for Partridge Whistle.

As Chen Yulou faced a dilemma, Ning Chen stepped forward and said, "I'll go too. With me and my eldest brother protecting you, Second Brother Luo, you can rest assured."

"Third brother, this is no child's play!"

Ning Chen shrugged. "Of course I know, but we're in this together. How can I just stand by and do nothing?"

Seeing that the two were determined to leave, Chen Yulou had no choice but to say, "In that case, I thank my elder brother and third brother for sacrificing themselves to accompany me!"

"I want to go too!"

Hong Guniang couldn't bear to let Partridge Whistle take another risk, so she spoke up. However, Chen Yulou didn't let Hong Guniang act this time.

"Why are you getting involved? Stay and protect me! I'm not even married yet, and you're already this worried. What will you do if you forget about me later?"

As soon as Chen Yulou finished speaking, Hong Guniang's pretty face turned as red as a crab in a pot, truly living up to her name as "Red Guniang".

"Manager Chen, since that wolf cub came after me, I, Lao Luo, will go and check on the treasures on the mountain."

Seeing Luo Laowai's greedy expression, Chen Yulou smiled and nodded, while also instructing Luo Laowai not to act rashly...

Ning Chen glanced at Luo Laowai thoughtfully. To be honest, Ning Chen wasn't really that concerned about protecting his safety.

Ning Chen had been holding a grudge against Luo Laowai for almost accidentally killing him when he was shot earlier. He said that if Luo Laowai was a tiger and leopard, then the other warlord was a jackal. Neither of them were good people.

"Since that's the case, why not pull off a switcheroo and pass off the real thing as the real one?" Ning Chen felt as if he had instantly transformed into Fahai, clad in a cassock, ready to unleash a mighty dragon at any moment...
