Through the streets and alleys, ordinary middle-aged people walked step by step, and their speed did not slow down in the crowd. The beggar behind them gradually became faster, and some surprised eyes arose in the crowd.

Half an hour later, the beggar looked around at an alley with a look of frustration. On the official road outside the county, an ordinary middle-aged man carried a bamboo basket and walked slowly towards the east.

Since the opening of the trade road, more and more official roads have been built everywhere, becoming more and more spacious for caravans to pass by. Along the way there are inns, wine shops and tea shops for passers-by to rest.

The carriages and horses on the official road are still there, but you can see the people in the government coming and going from time to time. The ordinary middle-aged people do not attract people's attention at all, and they are wandering among the crowd and follow the crowd.

I stopped and looked up, but I went outside a tavern. The tavern was not big, and the ordinary middle-aged man walked into it in a dusty manner. I saw Xiaotianlang Chen Ling sitting at the table with a smile and looking at him.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to meet here, how many cups do I have to drink?" Chen Ling said with one hand holding the table and the other holding the cup.

The ordinary middle-aged man has also dealt with Wei Shun and others in recent years, and said with a little surprise: "It turns out that my brother is here, so I'll have a drink." After that, he sat down with Chen Ling.

The restaurant served the wine and the ordinary middle-aged man said, "Brother Chen came here alone, and it seems that he still doesn't trust us very much."

Chen Ling drank the wine in the glass and said, "Does the change of candidates mean that your master has changed the requirements for Shunye?"

"Haha, Brother Chen is still so quick to speak. Well, I don't have to beat around the bush. My family agreed to Shun Ye's request, but there are conditions." The ordinary middle-aged man was very slow, and he savored the wine with a smile on his face. He looked at Chen Ling, but the light from the corner of his eyes was scanning around, very alert.

Chen Ling went to the appointment alone and had already made complete preparations. Since the other party agreed to the conditions on his side, he would definitely not agree for no reason. It is reasonable and expected to make some requests.

"Speaking."

The ordinary middle-aged man looked around and said, "When I came here, someone has already set my sights on me in the county town. I don't need to say anything about the dangers of the environment. My master agreed to Shun Ye joining, but there are three conditions, and none of them are indispensable."

"Oh? Your master is willing to die." Chen Ling sneered.

"Hey, although Shun Ye has coerced my master, my master's ability is not unsolvable. I just think of my relationship for many years and I don't want to trouble. If Shun Ye mistakenly thinks this mentality is scared by Shun Ye, I still have to go back and clarify it to Shun Ye."

"What's more, even if you report your identity as Shun Ye, how can you avoid it if you report it to my master? Could it be that Shun Ye has no slightest nostalgia for the world!?"

Ordinary middle-aged people talked with each other, but a few words had already forced Wei Shun and his group to the cliff. For Wei Shun and others, they were not sure how powerful this side was. If the bargaining chips were not as important as imagined, the situation would become increasingly unfavorable in the subsequent negotiations.

He remained silent, obviously he did not expect that the other party still had room to fight back. Whether it was intimidation or the false statement, Wei Shun's side could not afford to lose in this game. Even if it was a beat and two, the other party had their own means to avoid disaster, and once Wei Shun's side saw the light, it would be a dead end.

"Although the sir is well-instructed, this kind of thing will never be easily escaped. Even if your master can stay out of the matter and avoid affecting himself, I believe the losses suffered will definitely be quite large." Xiaotianlang Chen Ling's eyes flashed, and a trace of cruel expression disappeared in an instant.

The ordinary middle-aged man seemed to have not seen Chen Ling's expression, and played with the cup in his hand and smiled: "My master appreciates Shun Ye's talent and cherishes his love for several years, so he has been reluctant to turn against him. I hope Shun Ye can understand the good intentions of my master. As long as we agree with our conditions, I believe Shun Ye will get what he wants. From now on, there is no need to hide from **."

Cars and horses passed outside the restaurant, and the noise was noisy. Many passengers came in to drink, and the small restaurant gradually became crowded.

After a while, Chen Ling sighed and said, "Since your lord is so kind, please tell me the conditions..."

"Shun Ye is in the wild and difficult to restrain. After joining our Lord, his temperament must be restrained. The rewards and punishments are no different from those of ordinary people." The eyes fell on the people who came in and out, and the ordinary middle-aged man said slowly.

Wei Shun has been urinating in the mountains and wilderness since he was a child, and he is used to being free and free. He has to be worried when dealing with Wei Shun, not to mention that he has such a subordinate next to him. With Wei Shun's kung fu and temper, if he is not restricted and does not listen to discipline, he will only cause trouble.

Chen Ling thought for a while and said, "If Shun Ye surrenders to your master, there will naturally be differences between the top and bottom in the future, and this point should be fine."

Nodded, the ordinary middle-aged man said, "The wind is tight right now, Guo Ran's brother will send people to search everywhere. It is very dangerous to enter the city at this time. Therefore, Shun Ye must follow the instructions of his master and avoid disaster."

Xiaotianlang Chen Ling's face changed: "What are you saying, sir? I'm bullying me for a three-year-old child!"

Wei Shunbian was unwilling to avoid disaster everywhere, so he put forward the requirement of advancing as a retreat. However, the other party included the escape from disaster as one of the conditions for surrender, and things were equivalent to returning to the starting point. When the news of the wind passed, Wei Shun's value would inevitably decrease sharply. At that time, whether what he said today would be fulfilled will be left to fate.

"I have said that there are people following you when you leave the mansion today. At this time, Shun Ye will only cause trouble and will be counterproductive." The ordinary middle-aged man pressed his palm and signaled Chen Ling to calm down, but when his palm moved, he showed his own strength, which made Chen Ling secretly shocked.

"What is the last condition?" Chen Ling asked.

"Since Shun Ye sincerely surrenders to my master, he should show sincerity. What my master wants is a loyal subordinate who sacrifices his life. As for the educator, please think about it for a long time." The ordinary middle-aged man said as if nothing had happened, which made Chen Ling's heart worse.

When is it now? Even if you appear in public, you will be worried and may be caught and asked at any time. If you want to give me a gift, you will just want to die if you kill me.

Only the first condition can be guaranteed by himself. Wei Shun must decide the remaining two conditions. Even though he knew that the other party would make things difficult for him, the conditions for killing people were still beyond Chen Ling's expectations, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

The other party has agreed to the conditions proposed by himself, but can the other party achieve the conditions proposed by him?

"Sir, I also said that the situation is now. Can the etiquette of advancing be temporarily suspended for a while?" Chen Lingsi thought about it, but still felt that the third condition was easier to discuss, so he spoke.

The ordinary middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "If Shun Ye is willing to surrender to another place for a while, there is no need to rush to enter the ceremony. It is just that according to Shun Ye's temperament, whether he will do so is still uncertain."

"This Guo Meng is a member of the Ministry of Justice in the court. Somehow he came to this county. He seriously injured the county magistrate for his brother's grudge and monopolized the power. Not to mention that Shun Ye is unwilling to avoid the limelight for the time being, even if Shun Ye is willing, my master is not sure to send Shun Ye away safely."

"Ha, if Wei said he would go back to the county with his husband and his party now, how could he refuse!"

The sudden voice of words penetrated into the conversation between the two, but the Xiaotianlang Chen Ling present was not surprised with the middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance.

Chen Ling was not surprised because he had known that Wei Shun had disguised himself as he changed his mind to drink at another table, but this ordinary middle-aged man had no surprise expression. Is it because he had seen through his identity as a disguised person?

"Mr. Shun finally seemed to be unable to hold back. If there was no movement, I would almost doubt my judgment." The ordinary middle-aged man smiled slightly, reached out to take an empty glass of wine and said.

Wei Shun sat on the side without any mind and said, "Even if someone is following the teacher, it is definitely not because he has found something wrong. I believe that there are many people who are being followed in the county. If the teacher is safe here, the danger must have been relieved, otherwise he will dare to come here again?"

"Shun Master is very clear and admires me. I hope that Guo Meng will not be as smart as Shun Master, and I will be much smoother when I return home."

"Ha, what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Speaking of this, the three of them stood up and rushed to the county town.
