<h4>403 Lin Hong New Position</h4>


    "Isn''t this daylight robbery?" Tang Xuan looked towards the paper Soujin shoved to his face with a wry smile. The content of the paper was the amount of money Soujin demanded for dragging them into this mess plus the interest.


    Soujin crossed his arm, "Who chooses to drag us into this mess in the first ce?"


    "Even without me asking you help, you still need toe here and finish the deal."


    "If not because of your request, I will reject the trade straightaway the moment your little princess uttered out that demand."


    Tang Xuan shrugged and sighed to himself. He really shouldn''t have involved the man before him. It only made him had to pay arge sum. Thankfully, he could ask Prince Liao to help them since this was partially the other party request.


    Xiao Meng watched the two of them in a daze. After the fight finished and they cleaned up most of the mess, she found herself in this weird conversation. From what she knew, Tang Xuan and Soujin shouldn''t have talked with each other about anything before this. Did she miss something?


    "You didn''t have to strain your head," Jun Hua picked the cup on the table, "We never really discuss anything in Long Kingdom, but we receive Tang Xuan plead to help him."


    "…I didn''t plead."


    "You just give hints here and there about the current situation in Gu Yue Kingdom," Jun Hua rolled her eyes. "With that obvious gesture and your hard work to make yourself stay low, do you think we won''t notice?"


    Tang Xuan rubbed his forehead. He tried to stay low to make Jun Hua knew something was not right since he was obviously the kind of people who were very confident in himself. However, every time they negotiated or anything, he would stay in the back and act as an attendant to Xiao Meng. As Jun Hua personally interacted with him in the past, she knew something was up.


    Besides that, these two generals also realized that Steward Du was someone with high martial art. However, it didn''t seem like he was following the order because he followed after Tang Xuan, but rather he was watching them.


    "At least, my work is not in vain," Tang Xuan said, "But can''t you give me a more reasonable price?"


    "No," Soujin answered decisively, "You have almost sent us to our doom, and you want me to give you a better price?"


    With your ability, there was hardly any asion anything could threaten you. Tang Xuan decided to not dwell on the matter any longer or he might not be able to handle this man increasing demand. He will just send Prince Liao a head up about thister.


    "So, you''re in Prince Liao group?" Lin Hong can''t help but ask.


    Tang Xuan nodded his head, "Previously, I was in Emperor''s side. But when the battle for session starts to rise, I have to choose a side and I finally pick Prince Liao. However, Prince Sao also approaches me, and that is the time I realize his real goal in wanting to get close to me. He has a lot of capable men, and I know I won''t be his match alone."


    If not because of that, he wouldn''t have yed along all these times just to make the couple in front of him help him. They could just straightaway refuse, but since the two sides still need the trade, they finallye into terms.


    Lin Hong nodded his head. When Nanglong Soujin sneaked away on the first day, Tang Xuan already came to him and exined some of the real reason they needed them toe. The battle made the trade got involved in the mess, and he can''t finish them by himself, so he needed their help.


    At that time, Tang Xuan didn''t exin the detail because there was not much time, but Lin Hong got the gist of it. The only thing he didn''t understand was how the two of them decided the agreement under that heavy watch. He came to understand it just now.


    "Now that the matter of the trade has finished, what is your n?" Tang Xuan asked.


    "I will return to the Long Kingdom with Hua''er," Nanglong Soujin answered, "I don''t want to get involved into any weird matter anymore. If there''s anything you need about the trade, you just have to talk with Ming Hui in Yuan Kingdom."


    Tang Xuan nodded, but in the next second he noticed something strange from Nanglong Soujin''s word, "How do you n to get back with the water current like this?"


    "Just give us a bow and rope."


    Tang Xuan: "…" you n to do that stunt again?


    Lin Hong raised his head, "What about me?" there was simply no way he could run on the rope like these two. He didn''t have any practice in martial art.


    "You''re the new representative from Long Kingdom," Nanglong Soujin answered simply, "From now on, your task is to maintain the trade in this area and make sure this man didn''t back down on his promise."


    Tang Xuan: "…" do you hate me so much that you have to specifically tell him to watch me?


    Lin Hong was stunned to hear the sudden task handed to him. He eyed Jun Hua only to find the other party smiling. He finally understood that his task in the first ce was to be the representative. Soujin only agreed in the first ce to fulfill the task Tang Xuan asked him to.


    This new position might make him unable to return to Long Kingdom for a long time, but he hade to love this ce too. The few instances when he visited the town made him feel much morefortable rather than in Long Kingdom.


    He smiled and bowed, "This subject ept this task and promise to do his best to fulfill your expectation."


    Nanglong Soujin nodded his head. He stood up, "Next year, Jun Kang will follow after you and be the second representative since the trade will be bigger. But different with you, his main task will be in Yuan Kingdom. Make sure the two of you can work together and make the trade sessful."


    Lin Hong was stunned in his ce for a few seconds before bowed once again. It has been a long time since thest time he saw his stepbrother and they didn''t really have a good rtion in the past. Now that they already grew up, he might be able to repair their poor rtionship.


    Jun Hua followed after Soujin and stood up. "Give us the bow, arrow, and the rope. It''s already the time for us to return."


    "So fast?" Xiao Meng was stunned.


    "I want to meet with my son again," Jun Hua shrugged, "Besides, don''t you want to finish all the matter quicker, so that you could return back to the Long Kingdom and meet with that emperor again?"


    Xiao Meng face turned beet red. There shouldn''t be any way for the other party to know about her real feeling and reason for bothering that emperor so much, right?


    Tang Xuan sighed, "Please don''t tease her, Princess Hua."


    Jun Hua grinned, "I won''t, but you really should take care of her in case she starts to target other people in trade again. With your lousy skill, you''re not her match, Noble Tang Xuan."


    Hearing Jun Hua''s answer, Tang Xuan rubbed his forehead in resignation. Just what did he do to make this mischievous person target him? Previously was just an act since it was Xiao Sao order, but he will just let it be.


    "Hua''er let''s go. Tang Xuan, the things."


    "I understand, just wait a moment."
