The old beggar was dumbfounded when he heard this.

“If it wasn’t ordinary spices, what else could it be?”

Luo Cheng looked at the old beggar’s dazed expression and couldn’t help but say, “It might be herbs or natural treasures!”

As soon as he said this, not to mention the old beggar, even Zi Zheng and Zi Cheng gasped.

“If that’s the case, then it makes sense for you to be hunted down!” Zi Zheng said.

“But what has this got to do with me? I didn’t eat those herbs. Didn’t that cow eat them?” The old beggar said with an innocent expression.

“Do you think that cow can escape the fate of being slaughtered?” Luo Cheng said coldly.

This time, the old beggar was stunned. “I have to go back and take a look. I want to see if that’s the case!”

With that, the old beggar stood up.

After taking a few steps, the old beggar thought of something and turned to look at Luo Cheng.

“Luo Cheng, I know you want to send me away, but this matter is indeed very important to me. I have to confirm it personally. As for the national treasures of Zhu Lan Kingdom, I believe you will definitely send them back. Although you’re quite ruthless, you care about the commoners! Therefore, I trust you!”

With that, the old beggar turned around and disappeared into the forest.

“Young Master, are we going to let the old beggar leave just like that?” Zi Zheng looked at the forest and asked.

“Let him go! He’ll cause us a lot of trouble if he follows us! Besides, I suspect that someone deliberately lured him to me. The old beggar probably sensed the other party’s thoughts and used this excuse to leave! After all, he’s not stupid. He was just deceived and fell for their trap!” Luo Cheng looked at the old beggar and sighed.

The old beggar was just like him. Hadn’t he been deceived by the Han family back then?

Without the old beggar, Luo Cheng and the others didn’t have to be on guard all day. The journey, later on, was much faster.

When they left the mountains again, it was much more peaceful than the first time.

At least there was no one chasing after them as soon as they arrived in town.

This was the closest place to the capital.

Luo Cheng went straight to a wine shop. After taking a bunch of keys from the shopkeeper, he stayed in an ordinary house in town.

Everything was prepared in the house. Luo Cheng and the others could move in directly.

The people who took care of the house were also disabled veterans who had retired from the battlefield. They knew how to do things like sweeping the floor and cooking.

After taking a shower and washing up, Luo Cheng called the person-in-charge, Gan Xing, over and began to ask him some questions.

Luo Cheng had placed his men in some important places.

Clear Creek Town was no exception.

Clear Creek Town was considered the only way to enter the capital, so Luo Cheng didn’t place all his forces in the capital. Instead, he settled in this small town to develop.

The person in charge of investigating Clear Creek Town was called Gan Xing. He was a student he had accidentally saved back then.

Although Gan Xing was a scholar, he had been good at gathering information over the years.

This was why Luo Cheng placed Gan Xing in Clear Creek Town.

“Tell me! Where is the envoy from Zhu Lan Kingdom now?” Luo Cheng looked at Gan Xing and asked.

Speaking of this, Gan Xing had a strange expression on his face.

“Coincidentally, the envoy from Zhu Lan is in Clear Creek Town!”

Luo Cheng was surprised by Gan Xing’s words.

What a coincidence!

Previously, he was thinking about how to return the national treasure of Zhu Lan Kingdom. Unexpectedly, the envoy of Zhu Lan Kingdom happened to appear here.

“Since they’re already here, why didn’t they enter the capital directly?” Luo Cheng asked in confusion.

“Young Master, speaking of which, it has something to do with you!” Gan Xing said with a smile.

“Why don’t you just say it directly?! Is there a point in keeping us in suspense?” Luo Cheng looked at Gan Xing and asked directly.

“Young Master, the world outside is in chaos! I don’t know who spread the news that the national treasure of Zhu Lan Kingdom fell into your hands, but the people of Zhu Lan Kingdom asked the emperor to give the order to capture you and ask you to hand over the national treasure. As long as you aren’t captured by the emperor, they won’t enter the capital!” Gan Xing said.

Luo Cheng froze, then pointed at himself.

“They want to capture me and bring me into the capital?”

Gan Xing nodded and stopped smiling. “According to the information I obtained, I’m afraid this information was deliberately leaked by the person above to force you to appear in the capital!”

Luo Cheng wasn’t angry when he heard this. He simply sneered.

“In order to force me to submit, he really went all out! I don’t understand. Back then, he ostracized me in every way he could and now that I’ve left the family, he wants to force me to return. No wonder my buddies are so worried about me! He’s not my family at all, but a scourge who specializes in harming me!”

At this point, Luo Cheng thought of something.

“In that case, he’ll probably receive the news soon!”

Gan Xing smiled and shook his head.

“How can that be?! I predicted that you might appear in the next few days, so I’ve already lured those people away. You don’t have to worry. Just stay here! However, if you want to go out tomorrow, you have to disguise yourself!” Luo Cheng sighed when he heard Gan Xing’s words.

“That’s the only way! But I think I’d better settle the matter quickly and leave! I feel uncomfortable every time I come back to this place. As expected, the capital and I are mutually incompatible. Otherwise, why would I feel so angry every time I approach the capital?!”

“Then you should instruct me to help you! I wonder where the national treasure of Zhu Lan Kingdom is? How should we return it to the people of Zhu Lan Kingdom?” Gan Xing asked.

Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “Let me think about it first! We have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds. It just so happens that the envoy from Zhu Lan Kingdom is here. We can arrange it tomorrow!”

Gan Xing knew that Luo Cheng had been traveling for so many days and was already tired, so he took his leave.

After watching Gan Xing leave, Luo Cheng sat at the desk in silence, but he was thinking about something.

Initially, he wanted to quietly return Zhu Lan Kingdom’s national treasure. Unexpectedly, that person actually spread the news that he had stolen it.

It had to be said that that person was as high and mighty as ever. He had never been considerate towards him.

Did he really think that he could force him out by doing this? He wouldn’t do as he wished!
