Chapter 1389: Longyan's Cannon

"Yes, that's right!"

Wan Shang, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke up, glaring angrily at Ausilige.

"Although we are selling this information, we will not betray Longyan. We are Longyan people forever, and we absolutely will not allow Longyan people to be humiliated here!"

Wan Shang's words were resolute and decisive.

Ausilige let out a laugh and hurriedly tried to appease Wan Shang: "Brother Wan, don't be impulsive; let's talk this over properly."

"I know that you Longyan people feel bad when you see your compatriots in such a situation."

"Rest assured, as long as you tell me this information, I will definitely sell all those prisoners and such brought here to you," Lichate Ershi promised, patting his chest.

Fang Dalong held back the impulsive Wan Shang and pulled him behind himself. He looked at Lichate Ershi and said, "I will only tell you the route they will take after the trade; you can handle the rest yourselves."

Ausilige narrowed his small eyes and asked indifferently, "What kind of trade could make us in France take it so seriously?"

Fang Dalong fell silent, staring at Ausilige.

Wan Shang also displayed a very grave expression.

The more they acted like this, the more curious Ausilige became about what exactly they had traded.

It was enough to make two Longyan people show such expressions.

At the same time, it made two Longyan people of no low status so dissatisfied that they were willing to tell them in France, letting them profit.

They would rather do that than let the British, who were currently cooperating with them, obtain it.

"Sigh." Fang Dalong let out a sigh.

He looked toward Ausilige, and Ausilige looked at him expectantly.

"What on earth could make my two brothers show such expressions?"

Fang Dalong glanced at Wan Shang, and Wan Shang nodded. Having received his permission, Fang Dalong then said, "It is the Cannon that our Longyan spent endless heart's blood to research."

"This thing is light in weight and powerful; even in the jungle, it can move quickly to strike the enemy."

Wan Shang suddenly slammed the table and shouted angrily: "This Longyan Cannon was originally researched with my own money, and it was just sold to the British by that old scoundrel Qingyang Shuo."

"In exchange for two colonies that are of no use at all!"

Fang Dalong signaled him with a look, but Wan Shang was already anxious and immediately shouted angrily: "Are we not even allowed to talk about it? Why do you think the two of us ended up in this state today? Isn't it all because of that old scoundrel Qingyang Shuo!"

Wan Shang looked at Wan Shang, and after calming his mood, he said: "Brother, it's not that we think France is bad, but this is not Longyan after all. Let me tell you the truth."

"The two of us brothers were driven out of Longyan by Qingyang Shuo. They chased and killed us all the way, and we two only managed to escape here with great difficulty."

"We want to buy this place of yours, firstly because our compatriots are here. There is an old Longyan saying: 'Meeting an old friend in a foreign land,' which means meeting one's fellow countrymen while in a strange place."

"It is inevitable to think of one's hometown, Longyan."

"Secondly, we two need a place to stay, and your place is a good choice."

Upon hearing this explanation, Ausilige finally let go of the doubts in his heart. He looked at the two and said indifferently, "Then let us start discussing the details of the trade."

Ausilige's fat head couldn't wait any longer; he figured it was because he usually made many friends and had good connections that he had stumbled upon such a big bargain.

The three of them found a small room and closed the doors and windows tightly.

"Gentlemen, you can speak now. This Small Tavern is not worth much; what matters is that piece of information."

Ausilige said indifferently.

Fang Dalong laughed twice without speaking; he wrote down the time and location of the British trade on a piece of paper, folded it, and handed it to Ausilige.

Ausilige opened it, took a look, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Gentlemen, don't wander around these few days; just stay here. Rest assured, this Small Tavern will not be receiving any guests for these few days."

"Brother Wan, Brother Fang, you two eat and drink well here. I will come to visit you in two days. This tavern is yours for now; I have truly wronged you two."

Upon hearing this, the two men's expressions changed; this was equivalent to putting them under house arrest in this tavern.

"Ausilige, are you trying to put us under house arrest?" Wan Shang said coldly.

Ausilige apologized with a smile on his face: "A misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. This is just to invite you two to stay here for two days."

Wan Shang wanted to say something more, but Fang Dalong pulled him back.

Wan Shang stopped saying anything. At this moment, Fang Dalong looked at Lichate Ershi's face and said indifferently, "Fine, then we will trouble you, brother. We will stay here for these two days."

Ausilige laughed: "Then thank you for your understanding, brothers."

Fang Dalong had no expression on his face, while Ausilige was excitedly whipping his horse to send a letter to his old man.

After he, Richard, left, Wan Shang changed his previous angry expression and looked at Fang Dalong.

Neither of them spoke, and suddenly they both burst into laughter.

They hadn't expected that this information would be passed to Richard so easily.

The time was already very tight when they received the news, but they hadn't expected things to progress so smoothly.

They looked at their surroundings, unsure if they could be considered trapped, and didn't know if Mr. Qingyang Shuo's scheme would succeed.

"Sigh, Brother Fang, there is no need to worry too much. Mr. Qingyang Shuo's wisdom has never failed; you can rest assured."

Fang Dalong nodded, hoping that was the case.

At this time, Ausilige was quickly delivering this confidential intelligence into his old man's hands.

Richard had already returned to France from the front lines of the battlefield these past few days. Seeing his son return, his anger flared up.

"Who told you to come back?"

Richard said without giving him a pleasant look.

When his son saw his old man's expression, a look of fear immediately appeared on his face, but he suddenly remembered that he was not the same person he used to be.

He was now carrying top-secret intelligence that could help his old man defeat those British people.

Thinking of this, he felt emboldened again and immediately said: "Dad, I obtained a piece of intelligence. The British are about to purchase two Cannons from Longyan; we must hurry and intercept them."

Just as he finished speaking, he received a slap on his cheek.

"Are you stupid? We are fighting a jungle war against the British; how would they use cannons?"

"Use your pig brain to think carefully, can they move these Cannons through the jungle?"

Ausilige rubbed his cheek and wailed incessantly, but still stubbornly said: "Then what if the Longyan Cannons can move in the jungle, what if this thing is light in weight?"

Upon hearing it was Longyan Cannons, Richard frowned and immediately asked: "Are you talking about Longyan Cannons?"

Ausilige nodded aggrievedly: "Longyan Cannons."

Richard immediately widened his eyes and slapped his son again, raging: "Why didn't you say so earlier."

He suddenly felt that the matter was not simple.
