Chapter 293 Li Gui
"Young Master Zhang San doesn't know!"
Boss Pan said to Ye Fan with a smile, "We will be able to walk out of the Ailao Forest tomorrow. By then, we need to show our strength to other business travelers... You know, this Qinhuai City vocal competition is very grand... Many business travelers want to take advantage of the opportunity to make money... And we are still taking the Ailao Forest route. If we can walk out relatively intact, it will undoubtedly be a good display of strength!"
"By then, more business travelers will seek us out for cooperation, and the prices we offer will be higher!"
"If we were dressed in rags, looked listless, and looked like we were half dead, we would definitely be looked down upon, and no one would even want to do business with us..."
Boss Pan quickly explained to Ye Fan.
"That's it~"
...........
the next day,
at dusk,
"Ah! We finally got out of the Ailao Forest!"
"Finally I can breathe normal air!"
"Great, I'm still alive!"
"There are many business travelers over there, they must have come here via the official road!"
"Okay, okay, I caught up!"
"I will be able to walk out of Ailao Forest safely and soundly, so that I can tell my grandchildren stories in the future!"
..........
After Ye Fan and his party once again passed through a dense forest shrouded in white mist, the view before them suddenly opened up to a clear sunset. Everyone in the caravan sighed with emotion, and several of them even had tears in their eyes.
"Everyone, check and pack up, then we'll be on our way!"
.........
After a while, Boss Pan and his caravan, like other caravans, walked slowly towards the official road. Ye Fan and Liu Mengying, who didn't know how to get to Qinhuai City, decided to continue walking together.
"I say, Old Pan, you are really amazing. You are almost two months behind, and you have managed to catch up?"
"Yeah, I thought you wouldn't attend this Qinhuai City event after that incident!"
"Old Pan, the direction you just came from, you didn't take the Ailao Forest route, did you?"
…………
"what?"
"Old Pan, did you really come here through the Ailao Forest route? You... you didn't lose many people?"
"Tell me quickly, Old Pan, which god did you invite?"
"Hurry up and tell me, that bastard Liu Teng found a third-grade Marquis-level expert to help him, and he also wanted to take the Ailao Forest route to reach Qinhuai City before us. As a result, he is the only one left in the entire caravan..."
..........
Boss Pan's business was obviously quite extensive and he knew a lot of people. As soon as he led the caravan onto the official road, many leaders of other caravans came over to talk to him.
Ye Fan continued to practice with the boulder on his shoulders, oblivious to the surroundings, while Liu Mengying was sitting on the frame of a truck pulled by three horses and painting...
"Old Pan, have you heard? A shocking event happened in the capital a while ago!"
At this time, the words of a middle-aged man in colorful clothes attracted the attention of Ye Fan and Liu Mengying at the same time.
"What's the big deal?"
Boss Pan frowned and looked serious. After all, businessmen like him attach great importance to information about current affairs.
"Old Pan, you are not as well-informed as I am this time!"
The middle-aged man in colorful clothes had a smile on his face, and was obviously very satisfied that he could gain the upper hand over Boss Pan. Under Boss Pan's urging, he slowly said: "It has something to do with the royal family... A while ago, a super ruthless person made a scene in the palace. What's even more outrageous is that the second prince Ming Bowu was killed by that person..."
"what?"
Hearing this, Boss Pan was immediately frightened and shouted, "Old Lu, don't say such things, or you will be executed for all your clans!"
"Don't worry, Old Pan, I wouldn't dare to say anything nonsense about this!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man in colorful clothes fumbled around his body, then took out a piece of paper with black words and a portrait drawn on it, and handed it to Boss Pan.
"This...wanted warrant?"
Boss Pan glanced at the contents on the paper and blurted out.
"Exactly!"
The middle-aged man in colorful clothes nodded, "The man in the portrait is called Li Gui, the murderer of the second prince Ming Bowu. The riot that occurred in the imperial palace in the capital a while ago was caused by this guy!"
"Li Gui, who is this?"
Ye Fan was a little nervous that he and Liu Mengying might be wanted, and was about to take Liu Mengying and run away, but he didn't expect that the wanted criminal's name on the wanted order was not him at all, nor was it the pseudonym he used when he was in Beijing... and there was no information about Liu Mengying on it...
"Brother, the person in this portrait...Pfft!~"
Liu Mengying took the wanted poster from Boss Pan, looked at the portrait on it, and laughed out loud.
Ye Fan was also puzzled and speechless, because the picture on the wanted poster was a fat, big-eared, crooked mouth with big gold teeth showing, and a middle-aged bearded man with an extremely ferocious face, which was completely different from his appearance...
"Um... Is the portrait on this wanted poster wrong? Is there really someone who looks like this?"
Ye Fan looked at the middle-aged man in colorful clothes with a questioning look.
"Don't dare to say anything nonsense, little brother!"
As soon as Ye Fan finished speaking, the middle-aged man in colorful clothes took over the conversation. He said in a serious tone, "Little brother, this wanted order was specially sent by the government office, and it is not just a wanted order. I have also come into contact with many caravans from all over the world during this period of time, and the wanted orders they received were also like this. There is no way it is wrong!"
“Okay… okay…”
Ye Fan didn't know what to say for a moment.
"A reward of one hundred thousand taels of gold is offered. If we can catch him... we can't spend all the money in ten lifetimes, oh no, a hundred lifetimes!"
The middle-aged man in colorful clothes looked at the wanted poster in his hand and sighed.
"Old Lu, you got kicked in the head by a donkey!"
Boss Pan slapped the middle-aged man in colorful clothes on the back of his head in annoyance, "This Li Gui was able to kill the Second Prince Ming Bowu in the capital city full of experts and successfully escaped... You still want to catch him... If you don't get your head and body torn apart the next moment you run into him, it's a blessing for your ancestors!"
"That's true... I was just saying it casually!"
..........
Ye Fan and Liu Mengying ignored Boss Pan and Old Lu who were discussing the wanted order, and walked to a place quite a distance away from the caravan.
"Little Bean Sprout, what do you think about the wanted order?"
Ye Fan glanced at Boss Pan's direction and said directly.
"It feels so weird... Logically, there is no reason for the Mingyuan Royal Family to get the name and the portrait wrong... The person who killed Ming Bowu was obviously Ming Shi... Even if the Mingyuan Royal Family couldn't find out, you clearly stated in the palace that Ming Shi was your backer..."
"Even if Ming Shi wanted to pin the blame for Ming Bo Wu's death on you...it would be hard for him to distance himself from you...especially if he hasn't caught you..."
"But this wanted poster is ridiculous... According to the description above, it is impossible that we can't catch you..."
Liu Mengying analyzed it quickly.
"Indeed... that wanted poster is indeed full of weirdness..."
Ye Fan nodded, "But maybe that wanted order had an ulterior motive... It was to prevent me from being caught by people other than the Mingyuan Royal Family, or to make us careless and not disguise ourselves... I guess the Mingyuan Royal Family's own arrest force probably has portraits of you and me... They probably want to secretly capture us or kill us..."
"what!"
"What are you doing?"
"If you don't want to die, be quiet!"
"what!"
"Hahaha!"
...........
As soon as Ye Fan finished speaking, there was a commotion not far ahead.
"Little Bean Sprout, let's go over and take a look!"
