You Are Not the Only Rich Chapter 108

As Ye Jin said, according to Asher's temperament, he would not remain anonymous in the SF Escort Agency for too long. Firstly, it’s due to his personality, and secondly, it’s because Oliver has been married for three years, and the two have never been apart for more than five days. They have become accustomed to having him chatting by their side every night, and now they are faced with a room full of rough people. Big man, there is still the sour smell of sweat in the air, so the gap is too big, so naturally I can't bear it.
So on the fourth night, Asher went out to the backyard toilet on the pretext of feeling sick. The others in the room were tired after a whole day, so they didn't ask him much. Only Yuan lay on his side on the bed, so nervous that he tightly grasped the quilt.
The guards in the SF Escort Bureau are very tight, but for Asher, there will obviously be no problem. According to the information collected in the past few days, he successfully found the main house. The lights inside were dim and two mottled figures were reflected on the window. He ducked and hid by the back window, and through a gap, he happened to be able to see the two people in the house. One man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was the person who persuaded him to surrender that day, and the other man was tall and thick-bearded. According to Kang Dafu's previous description, he was obviously Li Tie, the chief escort of the SF Escort Agency.
"How are General Li's preparations going?" the sharp-mouthed man with monkey cheeks asked, while slowly blowing away the foam from the tea bowl.
"The Prime Minister has seen it all, so why bother asking again." Li Tie sighed, his mood obviously heavy.
Prime Minister? Upon hearing these four words, Asher immediately remembered the five brothers of the Mao family who were captured in Luoxue City before. According to Mao Si's confession that day, there was indeed a Prime Minister Li by Zhou Jue's side. He was insidious and cunning, and had done many immoral things for Zhou Jue.
"The reason why I asked the general is to remind him." The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said in a slightly raised tone, "I have been recruiting people everywhere over the years, and I have gone through a lot of hard work to find so many young men. The emperor also wants to build an army quickly. General Li has been poorly trained for a long time. If you delay important events, how can you shoulder such responsibility? "
"What's the use of having many people?" Li Tie said in an angry tone, "Although there are many people, most of them are lazy and lazy people. They care most about when the money will be paid every month. They dream about becoming a high official all day long and want women every now and then. How can it be possible to train these ragtag troops into a sophisticated army to fight against hundreds of thousands of Chu troops? "
Asher shook his head outside the window. Even if it was a popular uprising, it could be divided into two situations: rising up in troubled times was a last resort, mostly because the court was incompetent, so heroes emerged and were unstoppable; and now the world is prosperous and the people live in peace, and those who still want to rebel in this world are mostly greedy for wealth, glory, high salaries and high positions, and it is expected that they can't bear hardships. Moreover, according to what the old man in the Centenary Hall said before, when Zhou Jue sent people to lobby for young men, he mostly used gold and silver as bait. Many men in the village agreed only with the purpose of getting rich overnight, so it's no wonder that they are always concerned about when the silver will be issued.
"Even without the people in Beixun Village and the escort agency, the emperor still has 50,000 troops. Why does Prime Minister Li keep forcing me?" Li Tie said, "If possible, I would also like to hand the people over earlier so that I can get away with it. Shen Qianfeng and Asher have already arrived at Wuxue Gate and will go north through Honeysuckle City soon. Beixun Village is not far from here. If we are not careful, our secret may be exposed, and then everything will be over."
"General Li, you don't have to worry about that." The man laughed sinisterly, "The emperor is now looking forward to Asher coming soon."
"Why?" Li Tie was confused when he heard this, and Asher also frowned slightly.
"General Li, do you still remember Zhou Bai who was sent to Hansong City earlier?" asked the man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks.
"Of course, the one who claimed to be a mountain flower demon and practiced with Oliver." Li Tie nodded, "But I haven't heard any news about him recently. How is he?"
"I have temporarily hidden my tracks." The sharp-nosed and monkey-faced man said, "When the plan was halfway through, the Snowless Sect showed up and started investigating everywhere. I had no choice but to temporarily recall him to the emperor's side. He will come to Honeysuckle City soon."
Asher sneered. He had been trying to find it before, but this time he found it without any effort.
"What are you doing in Honeysuckle City?" Li Tie was shocked, "Not to mention Wu Xuemen, Shen Qianfeng and Asher must be sending people to search everywhere now. If you let him come to Honeysuckle City at this time, wouldn't it be easier to expose him?"
"According to the previous plan, I wanted to use Oliver's name to build momentum for the emperor in the Northeast." The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said, "But now that Asher and others have arrived, let's change the approach."
"What method?" Li Tie asked.
Then the man said, "The emperor wants Oliver."
As soon as the words came out, not only did Li Tie open his mouth, but Asher's face instantly darkened.
"What's the reason?" Li Tie was extremely puzzled. "Oliver is the most untouchable person in the martial arts world. How could the emperor---"
"Untouchable?" The sharp-mouthed man with monkey cheeks interrupted him, "General Li is overestimating him."
"Nowadays, there are four major sects in the world of Jianghu. Oliver is the son of the owner of Riyue Villa and the grandson of the owner of the Tang Sect in the southwest. The second head of Duanqing Valley in the northwest was also fascinated by him. His sister-in-law is the younger brother of the Emperor of Chu. That's all. The most important thing is that there is also the Shadow Chasing Palace." Li Tie sighed repeatedly, "Asher's martial arts skills are extremely mediocre. If someone doesn't know how to look at him, touching Oliver will be the same as stabbing a gunpowder warehouse. ? How could the emperor suddenly think like this?
"How could the Emperor not know what General Li is talking about?" the pointed-mouthed and monkey-faced man said disdainfully.
Knowing this, he still had to do it? Li Tie got a headache just thinking about it.
"That's why we say that General Li is short-sighted and can't bear such a heavy responsibility." The man patiently said, "Let me ask you, General, if we don't touch Oliver, will the four major sects in Jianghu and Zhuiying Palace help the emperor?"
Li Tie shook his head.
"That's it." The man sneered, "Even if they don't touch each other, the various martial arts sects will still be enemies of the emperor. In this case, why not be bolder? Oliver came to the northeast this time to do things for the Chu State. If he was kidnapped on the way, the emperor of Chu would be to blame. By then, the relationship between the court and the martial arts sects will become delicate."
"But if you do this, Riyue Villa and Zhuiying Palace will not let the emperor go. This is too risky." Li Tie still disagreed.
"The emperor wants Oliver, not to take his life, but to take him as a hostage, so that the Central Plains martial arts will no longer interfere in the affairs of the court, and we will save a lot of energy." The man said, "Besides, the eunuch's hallucinogen is almost ready. By then, we only need to let Oliver smell it, and we can say and do whatever he wants."
"Psychedelic drugs?" Li Tie was slightly surprised.
"Although he may not be able to tie a chicken with his hands, Oliver's influence among the people of Chu cannot be underestimated." Li Tiedao, "If he can be used for us, he will be a big bargain."
Li Tie shook his head, "I still think it's too risky. I would like to ask the Prime Minister to tell the Emperor to think twice before taking action."
"The emperor has his own considerations. General Li should just do his job well." The man stood up. "It's getting late. I'll go back too."
"But---" Li Tie opened his mouth to speak, but the man had already left the room. He could only shake his head and sigh, sitting at the table in a daze.
Asher's eyes were cold and he turned back to his residence.
There was still snoring in the room. When he heard the door open, A Yuan immediately sat up from the bed. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Asher coming in.
"Go to sleep." Asher sat at the table and ordered him in a deep voice.
A Yuan lay down on the bed obediently, thinking to himself that the Jianghu heroes were different. They could actually sit at the table and sleep every night. If it were him, he would have fallen headlong.
The next day, they got up and practiced boxing again. While eating, Asher pulled Yuan aside and said, "Come with me tonight."
"Go?" Yuan was excited when he heard that. "Kill them?"
"No." Asher shook his head, "Slip out."
... A Yuan was a little disappointed when he heard that. He thought that he would be like the storyteller described, marching out of the enemy camp in a majestic and powerful manner!
But although it is different from imagination, it is always good to be free again. A Yuan was eating steamed buns while listening to Asher's general plan.
"Do you remember?" Asher asked.
"Yes!" Yuan nodded, and said with a chivalrous spirit, "I won't drag you down. If we are discovered, you can leave me behind and I will run away by myself."
Asher smiled and shook his head, stood up and returned to the table.
A day passed quickly, and at midnight, Asher took A Yuan and slipped out of the slum together, and arrived at the backyard wall as if they were familiar with the route.
A Yuan's back was covered with cold sweat, and he was extremely nervous, but more than anything, he was surprised. Just now, when the two of them walked along, they also encountered many patrolling guards. They almost bumped into each other several times, but Asher... I can always take him away at the first opportunity, and every time I have a near miss, it couldn't be more exciting.
"Let's go!" Asher held his waist, jumped up to the top of the wall, but did not rush down. Instead, he stepped on a few marks on the wall, making a show of struggling to climb, and then jumped out of the hospital with A Yuan. Wall, heading all the way to the north of the city.
There were a few stars in the sky, which made the snow on the ground look even paler. The two of them left two sets of footprints in the snow. Yuan said anxiously, "The Kang Mansion is not in this direction."
"I won't go back to Kang Mansion for now." Asher said, "Let's go to the barren mountains north of the city first."
"Where are we going?" Yuan had a shadow in his heart and felt scared when he heard it.
"Afraid?" Asher smiled.
"...Of course I'm not afraid!" A Yuan puffed up his chest to embolden himself, then thought about it and muttered, "I want to see Sixth Brother."
"Don't worry, I will take you back at dawn." Asher continued to walk hard with him in the snow. After walking for a while, A Yuan suddenly said, "Are you leaving footprints in the snow to make Li Tie think we went to the barren mountains north of the city, so as not to cause trouble for the master?"
"You just realized it now?" Asher shook his head. "You're a little stupid."
A Yuan was slightly shocked and shut his mouth dejectedly.
Asher said no more. In fact, not wanting to cause trouble for Kang Dafu was only one of the reasons. More importantly, he wanted Li Tie and his party to think that he and A Yuan had rushed into the mountains in a panic and had already lost their lives. In order to persuade them to surrender, the other party had revealed A lot of secrets have been kept. If they found out that the two of them had run away this time, they would definitely think that their whereabouts had been exposed, and they might even abandon everything and abscond. Only by making the other party believe that he has shut up forever can the plan continue.
After all, the most reassuring thing in this world is dead people.
The Shunfeng Escort Agency was not far from the mountains, so Asher took A Yuan and walked in the mountains for a while, and created the scene of rolling down the cliff. Then he picked up his belt and used Qinggong to return to Kang Mansion.
The sky was already getting light. Oliver was taking a nap in the house when he suddenly heard the chirping of the fur ball. Then someone pushed open the door. Before he could open his eyes, he was k!ssed on the lips.
"Chiu!" The fur ball rushed over happily and threw itself into its father's arms and acted coquettishly.
Oliver blinked and saw Asher smiling at him. For a moment he was unable to react.
"Little fool." Asher looked amused, "Don't you recognize me?"
"You're back!" Oliver finally came back to his senses, rushed over and hugged his neck tightly.
"Chiu!!!" The fur ball was caught off guard and was squeezed between its parents. It struggled hard to get out, and its little black eyes looked a little aggrieved.
For a cute little fuzzy phoenix, the world couldn't be more dangerous.
It's well worth the hassle of spending ten bags of beef jerky to calm your nerves.
"I missed you." Asher hugged him and sat him up, pinching his stomach, "Check if you have lost weight."
"Don't make a fuss." Oliver knocked his hand down, "What happened?"
"It's no problem for your husband to act in person." Asher said, "Zhou Jue wants to touch you."
"Me?!" Shen Xiaoshou was shocked. What does this have to do with me? He was really lying.
"That's right, you." Asher said, "I didn't want to say it at first, but it's not a big deal. There's no need to hide it from you."
"What does he want me to do?" Oliver asked in a confused tone.
"Because all the people in Chu like you." Asher said, "You say one sentence, and those who speak for a whole day are better than him. If you want to create momentum, you are the best choice."
Oliver was a little dumbfounded. This is called the power of a short storybook!
"The person who pretended to be practicing with you before was also secretly appointed by Zhou Jue." Asher said, "Our previous estimate was correct. He really wanted to make people trust him by doing good deeds first, and then help Zhou Jue. Jue does things."
"Then why did he disappear later?" Oliver asked. It was clear that his purpose had not been achieved.
Asher said, "Because Wu Xuemen intervened and started the investigation, Zhou Jue had to suspend the plan."
Oliver:...
"Okay, let's not mention Wu Xuemen." Asher said very wisely, "You can sleep for a while longer, and I'll go find Qian Feng."
"I'm not going to sleep." Oliver helped him remove the hay from his shoulders. "You go and discuss the matter with your elder brother. I'll find someone to boil some hot water later so you can take a bath."
Asher nodded and reached out to pinch his cheek.
He is so well behaved that he deserves to be loved.
Shen Qianfeng lived next door, so he could naturally hear him entering the courtyard. He wanted to get up and look for him, but was stopped by Ye Jin.
"Asher is back." Shen Qianfeng said, "I'll go take a look."
"Why are you so anxious?" Ye Jin frowned, "We haven't seen each other for five days, so the first person he wants to see is naturally Ling'er." Maybe the two of them are still k!ssing. If you break in, you might be beaten out. .
Shen Qianfeng: ...
Ye Jin said sharply, "I don't understand the look."
Shen Qianfeng was helpless, "I just want to talk to him about business as soon as possible."
"That's why I said you're boring." Ye Jin rolled into the wall wrapped in quilt, business is business, business is business, why don't you live with business.
Shen Qianfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only lean beside him and wait.
A moment later, Asher came next door as expected. Ye Jin sat cross-legged on the bed and said, "I told Ling'er before that you would be back in ten days at the latest, but now it seems that I said too much, it's exactly five days."
"The things are done, so naturally I have to come back soon." Asher stretched out his hand to pour tea and drank, "Is it possible that I still want to stay in the Escort Bureau to celebrate the New Year?"
"What's the matter?" Shen Qianfeng sat opposite him.
Asher told him what happened again, and then said, "A Yuan is next door. After dawn, ask Boss Kang to come over and have him hide underground with Kang Liu for a few days."
"Will running back like this arouse suspicion among Li Tie and his men?" Ye Jin frowned. "Even if you created traces of falling off a cliff, treason is no small matter. Logically speaking, if any detail goes wrong, the plan should be temporarily suspended."
"No." Asher shook his head. "According to my judgment, Zhou Jue has begun to put pressure on Shunfeng Escort Agency. It is obvious that he values   the army in Li Tie's hands very much. Under such circumstances, unless Li Tie wants to cause trouble for himself, it is better to have less trouble than more."
"Are you sure?" Ye Jin was still a little unsure.
"Everyone has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, especially those who are greedy for life and afraid of death. They will value self-preservation more than anything else." Asher said, "If he confessed to Zhou Jue at this time that it was due to his poor planning , causing the two people to run away, it might lead to death; and if he pretended that nothing happened, maybe Kang Liu and A Yuan were really dead, then he would be safe. I bet Li Tie will keep this matter secret."
"In fact, if you want to be the safest, no matter what the inference is, you should continue to stay in Shunfeng Escort Agency and wait for them to make the next plan." Shen Qianfeng patted his shoulder, "But according to your personality, this is the only way."
"It's daybreak now, go call Uncle Kang over." Asher said, "I need his help with something. If I act well, Li Tie won't be unconvinced."
Shen Qianfeng nodded, changed his appearance, and walked out of the door, calling Kang Dafu in. The few of them talked for an hour, and after discussing the business, Kang Dafu opened the door of the dark room and asked A Yuan to go in and hide for a few days. The brothers who had been separated for several days were naturally very happy to be reunited this time, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with living underground. They were very grateful to Asher and others. From then on, every New Year and festival, they would ask someone to bring some Northeast mountain delicacies to Zhuiying Palace, and they would send them for decades.
Of course, these are all later stories, and Kang Dafu nodded repeatedly after listening to everyone's plan. He returned to the study and called his trusted assistants to prepare. When he was in Sun Moon Villa, he wanted to venture into the martial arts world, but unfortunately he was just a cook, and he didn't have much martial arts training except frying, stir-frying, and deep-frying, so he could only suppress his wish. This afternoon, he finally got the opportunity to punish evil, and he felt that his childhood dream of chivalry was awakened again, so he was more active than anyone else.
While everyone was busy, Asher was soaking comfortably in the hot water, not wanting to move at all.
"My face is a little red." Oliver took a closer look, "Maybe the mask has been on for too long. Is it itchy?"
"Give me a lick." Palace Master Qin maintained his usual shameless style and did not let the people down.
"What? I'm talking about serious matters." Oliver didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He threw down his handkerchief and stood up. "I'll go ask Brother Ye for some ointment."
"No need." Asher pulled him back to the bench, "It will be fine after a while."
"Don't do this kind of thing again in the future." Oliver wiped his shoulders and said, "There are so many people in the martial arts world and the court. Why do you and your elder brother have to be blamed every time something goes wrong?" It's not like there are no other people. It's really annoying.
"Are you heartbroken?" Asher asked.
That must be distressing! Oliver patted him and said, "Turn over and wipe your back."
"Smile first." Asher pinched his chin, "Seeing this, I feel unhappy."
Oliver grinned.
Asher didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What kind of laugh is this?"
"If you're not happy, you won't be able to laugh." Oliver continued to help him wipe his body. "After I solved the demon sect and helped the emperor put down the rebellion in the northwest, I thought the world would be at peace." Who knew that Zhou Jue would show up in the middle of the process? , simply annoying.
He spends all day in the snowy mountains and still wants to be the emperor. He must be crazy.
"The world will never be completely peaceful." Asher smiled, "This is not bad now. It's just a small fight. You can just come to the Northeast to relax."
"What kind of relaxation is this?" Oliver wiped his face and felt that he was still suffering.
"Wait a few more days, the matter should be resolved soon." Asher said, "The person Zhou Jue assigned to impersonate is called Zhou Bai, and he will come to Honeysuckle City in the next few days."
"Then what?" Oliver asked.
"Do you still remember your name?" Asher held his hand.
"Me?" Oliver was puzzled. "Name?" What kind of question is that?
"It's not a name, it's a nickname." Asher reminded.
Oliver choked for a moment. Do you have to say it? It seemed a little stupid.
"Huh?" Asher looked at him.
Oliver had no choice but to say, "Call the wind and summon the rain." It was so embarrassing.
Asher laughed out loud, "That's right, we're going to do whatever we want this time."
"But I don't know how." Oliver said confidently.
"Who said that? Ling'er knows everything." Asher was very serious.
Shen Xiaosheng tested the temperature of his man's forehead.
"k!ss me." Asher leaned over and said, "Then I'll tell you the plan."
"Just one k!ss?" Oliver was full of doubts. In the past, he would only say it after at least five k!sses. One k!ss was not in line with his manly style.
"Of course not." Asher said, "A k!ss is just an introduction."
I knew it, I'm going to lead you on! Shen Xiaoshou angrily poured a spoonful of water over, "Be serious!"
Really very, very domineering.
