Chapter 412: Meeting an old friend and enemy in a foreign land
The person who came was none other than Li Chongheng, the former general of the Jinwu Guard of the Xuanyuan Kingdom.
After Han Zhuo seized power from Li Chongheng, he immediately defected from Xuanyuan and went to Daqian Kingdom to join the second prince Li Huamin.
Han Zhuo didn't expect to meet this guy here!
At this moment, Li Chongheng was exactly the same as when Han Zhuo met him before. He was not treated coldly in the Daqian Kingdom because he left his hometown and defected to his homeland.
Instead, he still maintained that arrogant and domineering attitude.
As soon as he entered the inn, his sharp eyes swept across everyone around him.
Likewise, his gaze fell on Han Zhuo.
The moment he saw Han Zhuo, Li Chongheng frowned slightly.
He just felt that the person in front of him looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
It was only because Han Zhuo was no longer wearing the iron mask, revealing his true appearance, and Li Chongheng had never seen Han Zhuo's face before.
The moment I saw Han Zhuo, I felt that this person looked a little familiar, that's all.
However, his attention quickly shifted from Han Zhuo to a father and daughter sitting at another table.
Li Chongheng burst into laughter when he saw them: "Hahaha, Minister Yang, I didn't expect that we would meet again!"
As Li Chongheng spoke, he waved his hand and a large group of people behind him quickly rushed forward.
Just as Li Chongheng was about to make a move, a waiter beside him came over with a smile and said to him, "Sir, please talk it over nicely. Please don't make a move in our inn!"
"This is the territory of the Longmen Escort Agency!"
As an outsider, Li Chongheng did not fully understand the value of the four words "Longmen Escort Agency".
He immediately threw his hands away and cursed with a cold face: "What a shitty escort agency! Just because you named a company with the word 'dragon' in it, you think you can fly to the sky?"
"Get out of here right now! If you get in the way of me arresting people, I'll tear down this lousy inn right now!"
Li Chongheng was still as arrogant as ever. Han Zhuo couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he saw him like this.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so Han Zhuo is bound to help!
But just as Han Zhuo pressed the table with both hands and was about to get up.
Tie Xinlan, who was standing beside him, suddenly said to Han Zhuo, "Don't move!"
When Han Zhuo heard Tie Xinlan trying to stop him, he thought she was going to resort to her usual tactic of not meddling in other people's business.
But what Tie Xinlan said next surprised Han Zhuo a little.
It's because Tie Xinlan told Han Zhuo that this is Longmen Escort's territory, and Longmen Escort will be responsible for everything."
"At least within the borders of Daqian, no one dares to touch the Longmen Escort Agency, even if that person is the Second Prince's subordinate."
When Han Zhuo heard this, his eyes lit up involuntarily, because Tie Xinlan was no ordinary person. She had actually identified his identity just by the way he was dressed.
At the same time, Han Zhuo became more and more curious about the Longmen Escort Agency that Tie Xinlan mentioned.
Han Zhuo was not unfamiliar with the Longmen Escort Agency. At least he had heard Su Qingge talk about it before.
Su Qingge once told Han Zhuo that Longmen Escort Agency was the largest escort agency in the world.
They are extremely powerful, and this strength is not only limited to their ability to transport goods, but more importantly, it is the powerful deterrent power that Longmen Escort Agency itself possesses in various fields.
Li Chongheng was a newcomer, and he obviously didn't know the terrifying power and influence that Longmen Escort Agency possessed in the Daqian Kingdom.
Seeing that the Daqian Kingdom was about to cause trouble in the Longmen Escort Agency's inn, the waiter immediately raised his voice and shouted, "Boss, someone is trying to cause trouble in the inn!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Han Zhuo could clearly feel four extremely fast people rushing towards him from different directions.
In the blink of an eye, they were standing in front of Li Chongheng.
The leader was the rough-looking innkeeper.
He immediately stared at Li Chongheng with a burning gaze and said, "Sir, as soon as I see the attire you're wearing, I know you're the Second Prince's man."
"But the general shouldn't have been in our Daqian Kingdom before? He came from another country and took refuge with His Royal Highness the Second Prince, right?"
Although Li Chongheng was arrogant, he was not stupid, especially after being severely beaten by Han Zhuo.
I will no longer be as arrogant as before, thinking that I am the best in the world, I have the soldiers and the men, and anyone who dares to challenge me will be killed!
At least, when he felt the extraordinary strength of the four people in front of him, he restrained his emotions a little.
With a cold face and slightly pretentious eyes, he said: "So what?"
The innkeeper who led the group behaved very naturally, neither servile nor overbearing.
He pulled out a token from his bosom and said to Li Chongheng, "Since I am an associate of His Highness the Second Prince, when I left His Highness's side, I'm sure someone must have told me what to do if I encounter someone holding this token when I'm out and about, right?"
The innkeeper took out a seemingly ordinary wooden token from his arms, but the moment Li Chongheng saw the token, his eyes flickered obviously!
It's true, when he received an order from the second prince Li Huamin to lead his troops to hunt down the former Minister of Rites, Yang Hongying and his family.
The staff around Li Huamin did indeed hand a token to Li Chongheng.
He also told Li Chongheng that if he saw this kind of token when he was out, no matter whether it was made of wood, iron or jade, as long as it was this style of token, he must never conflict with them!
Otherwise, even the Second Prince would not be able to save his life!
Chong Heng was indeed arrogant, but he also knew that one must bow down under the eaves. He could only snort coldly and said, "According to what you said, as long as they are in this inn, this general cannot take any action."
"But once they leave the inn, what then?"
The innkeeper smiled and said, "As long as they leave the inn, whether they are killed or cut, whether they live or die, it will all be decided by you, General. This has nothing to do with our inn."
After hearing this, Li Chongheng burst into laughter in order to save face.
"Hahaha, he said that since that's the case, then I'll give you this favor!"
He then pointed at Yang Hongying and his family of three who had been sitting still and said, "Yang Hongying, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has issued a warrant for your arrest. You can't escape!"
"You absolutely can't hide in this Dragon Gate Inn forever!"
Having said that, Li Chongheng led his men out of the inn.
At this time, the little boy, who was only about ten years old, said to Yang Hongying in a slightly horrified tone: "Daddy, I'm scared!"
Yang Hongying held his son in his arms and comforted him gently. Then he stood up, bowed to the innkeeper and said a few polite words.
"Boss, thank you so much for your help! Yang is very grateful!"
The innkeeper said calmly, "Minister Yang, what the person just said is correct. The Dragon Gate Inn is just an inn, not a shelter."
"You'd better plan to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise if they completely surround the inn, it will only cause more trouble for you!"
"Also, we don't accept credit at this inn. If you run out of money, we'll kick you out."
The innkeeper had just finished speaking when Han Zhuo burst into laughter. He said, "If they don't have any money, I have quite a bit here. I'll advance them a few days."
