"Are you sure you want to help me win the salt mine instead of taking it for yourself?" Gao Jun snorted coldly.
Although Fan Tong's words are somewhat reasonable, can this person be so kind?
Fan Tong sighed, "You just said that my official position is not guaranteed, and it is not just my official position that is not guaranteed. That angel will not let me go. I only hope that I can save my life through your Gao family!"
Gao Jun pondered, indeed, Fan Tong would be taken into custody by the court sooner or later, and the salt mine would be useless even if Fan Tong took it.
Selling this favor to him seemed really reasonable.
"Are you afraid of death?" He then asked with a chuckle.
"Who is not afraid of death? Isn't Mr. Gao afraid of death?" Fan Tong sighed, "I don't have a good life like Mr. Gao. I was born in the Duke's palace and finally climbed to the position of prefect. Now I have nothing. There is only one bad life left. As the saying goes, it is better to die than to live. A bad life is still a life!"
"Are you sure you can really help me win that salt mine?" Gao Jun said.
"Mr. Gao, this opportunity must not be lost, and it must not be lost again. Shiliang City will let those rebels and Li Qian make trouble. We will leave the city tonight, and we guarantee that we can successfully capture the salt mine tomorrow!" Fan Tongdao said.
Gao Jun was indeed moved, and immediately said, "Your proposal is indeed good, but why don't you leave the city now instead of leaving the city at night?"
Fan Tong smiled and said, "Why is Mr. Gao more anxious than me now? I already told you that those rebels are coming to attack the city. How are we going to get out? It's better to recuperate first and wait until night."
He was not in a hurry now and asked Gao Jun to arrange a room for him, then took the old housekeeper to rest.
"Mr. Ge, what do you think?" Gao Jun asked Mr. Ge after Fan Tong went to rest.
"Fan Tong has no enmity with us, so he shouldn't harm us," said Ge Lao.
Gao Jun also nodded, "So, he really chose to find us to save his life."
"But Fan Tong is an old fox after all. He wants to use us to save his life. I'm afraid he also has some other hidden purposes." Ge Laodao said.
"Other purpose? What purpose?" Gao Jun couldn't help but ask.
"I'm afraid he wants to use us to deal with Li Qian!" Ge Lao said.
"Deal with Li Qi'an?" Gao Jun smiled, "Aren't we just going to deal with Li Qi'an?"
"As long as he can really win the salt mine for me, I will do what he wishes!"
"Sir, it's just that the situation in Shiliang City has exceeded our imagination. It is necessary to report this matter back to the Duke's office." Ge Laodao said.
Gao Jun pondered for a moment, "If we can successfully capture the salt mine tomorrow, it won't be too late to report it. After all, a few days have passed. The chaos in Shiliang City will be supported by that angel." , What does it have to do with us? Besides, how can we behave if there is no chaos?"
…
Fan Mansion.
Zhao Xuemin sat on the chair where Fan Tong usually sat, with an indescribable chill on his face.
There were many corpses of people from the Fan family lying on the ground.
A moment of carelessness left him without a hand, so he naturally wanted to vent his anger.
He has no intention of letting anyone go in the Fan family.
As for the key, it was already dealt with and placed in front of him.
However, he is in no hurry to open the treasure house now.
"gentlemen!"
At this time, his personal bodyguard hurriedly came to report.
"Our people are blocked from the city gate and cannot enter the city for a while!"
When Zhao Xuemin heard this, he immediately stood up.
"Shiliang City is so empty now, can anyone stop them?"
The guard lowered his head and said, "There are heavy crossbows and catapults on the city wall."
"Li Qian!" Zhao Xuemin gritted his teeth, "Sure enough, you are the biggest variable!"
After all, heavy crossbows and catapults have appeared, who else could it be besides Li Qian.
The key is that this person actually calculated his move and prepared the heavy crossbow and catapult in such a short period of time.
He had already overestimated this person, but unexpectedly he underestimated him.
"Sir, what should we do now?" the guard couldn't help but ask.
"How many more people can we summon in the city?" Zhao Xuemin asked with a stern face.
"Less than a hundred people." The guard said.
"Everyone is summoned to Fan Mansion. Now, let the outsiders attack the city. We just need to defend this place!" Zhao Xuemin said.
The personal guard immediately said he understood.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, something suddenly occurred to his mind, "Do you want to notify Madam Xiao's team?"
"She is too close to Li Qian. This is a good thing and a bad thing. There is no need to inform her yet."
The personal guards also went immediately.
Zhao Xuemin glanced at the key to the treasure house, then took out another key and put it together with that one.
"Li Qian, I know you are also interested in this treasure, I will wait for you here!"
