Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chu Yan’er nodded, her face showing a gentle light and said, ”The Great Xia indeed has some skills. It seems like Xia Hong has noticed something. By intentionally not appearing, he let Xia Chuan negotiate with Yang Zhun and the others first. He wants to leave room to adjust his strategy timely. I’m curious to see how he will respond!”

Chen Yiqing’s expression slightly darkened at her words, and a trace of a peculiar look flashed in his eyes.

”Noticed something? I doubt it.”

.........

”Solving problems, is it? So Great Xia doesn’t dare to admit that Yuan Cheng killed thirteen of my Beishuo Chamber of Commerce’s people?”

Yang Zhun finally spoke. Even with twenty Divine Machine Crossbows and thirty thousand troops, he had no choice but to converse with Xia Chuan, regardless of how unwilling he was in his heart.

If he didn’t speak now, he would have to turn around and leave!

”Empty words without evidence. You can’t just blame someone for a killing because Lord Yang Zhun claims it so, can you?”

As soon as Xia Chuan said this, the atmosphere immediately became a bit more tense.

Anger instantly appeared on Yang Zhun’s face, and beside him, Beishuo Town Chief Yang Fa’s eyes filled with intense killing intent as he looked at Xia Chuan.

And among the over ten thousand people in South City, including the other Five Towns’ Xianyang Levels in the sky, their expressions turned a bit strange.

After noticing people’s expressions, Xia Chuan lowered his head in thought for a moment but quickly figured it out.

It’s better to obtain a promise from Yang Zhun than a hefty amount of silver. This phrase is widely spread in the Moao Nine Towns. Yang Zhun’s reputation for keeping his word is well-known in the Nine Towns.

His words were like a firm slap to Yang Zhun.

Despite understanding this point, Xia Chuan had no intention of changing his words. He merely looked calmly at Yang Zhun, waiting for his response.

”Xia Chuan, you merely...”

It was Yang Fa who couldn’t hold his silence any longer. He apparently wanted to berate Xia Chuan, but just as he uttered three words, Yang Zhun stopped him with a raised hand.

”Bring Yang Ning here!”

Upon hearing this order, Yang Fa turned and flew backward.

Yang Ning!

Hearing this name, Xia Chuan’s brow slightly furrowed.

”Yang Ning, the one mentioned in the external announcement as having witnessed Yuan Cheng’s atrocities firsthand?”

”Also surnamed Yang, a member of the Yang Family from Beishuo?”

”Can the words of a Yang family member be trusted?”

”For Yang Zhun to dare bring him over, he must be confident!”

......

The over ten thousand people in South City instantly reacted and were engaged in fervent discussions.

Inside the tavern, upon hearing that Yang Zhun intended to bring Yang Ning over, Chen Yiqing and the eight others couldn’t help but show a smile on their faces.

.........

Yang Ning had clearly been brought over by Yang Zhun and his group long ago, presumably placed somewhere near Hongmen City. It took less than a hundred breaths, and Yang Fa brought him forth.

Although Yang Ning was being carried by Yang Fa, as soon as he arrived, he meticulously searched below. Soon, he identified his target on top of a Divine Machine Crossbow, his pupils instantly bloodshot as he pointed and shouted furiously at the man on the crossbow:

”It was him, Yuan Cheng, it was him! He’s very strong; he killed my third grandfather Yang Fan, along with my grandfathers Yang Pu and Yang Yun! He also killed Brother Shou and Brother Ding, a total of thirteen people, all killed by him!”

”Nonsense, I killed...”

”Yuan Cheng, shut up!”

The tether-holding Yuan Cheng couldn’t help but angrily retort.

But before he could finish, Xia Chuan interrupted him.

Xia Chuan looked up at Yang Ning and asked seriously, ”Putting aside whether Yuan Cheng alone could kill all thirteen of your Beishuo Chamber members, as far as I’m aware, you were injured that day, and Li Hu was seriously wounded. Even if Yuan Cheng could kill thirteen people in a row, how did you and Li Hu survive?”

Hearing this question, tears welled up in Yang Ning’s eyes, as if recalling the scene of that night. With a somber expression, he said, ”The three grandfathers and two cousins, along with several other elders, sacrificed their lives to save us. They hid us in a cave. That Yuan Cheng searched the surroundings several times, but we dared not reveal ourselves and finally escaped by sheer luck...”
