Chapter 357: Juxian Manor

Duan Fengyun disguised himself as a wealthy young master and walked swaggeringly through the territory of the Seven Provinces Green Forest Association.

Naturally, such an arrogant Duan Fengyun was discovered by this group of Green Forest heroes from the Seven Provinces Green Forest Association.

Looking at Duan Fengyun, this fat sheep, the lookout lackeys kept whistling to the side.

Upon hearing the lackeys' whistle, several Green Forest heroes sharpened their blades and polished their spears, preparing for a big score.

Because the meaning of the whistle from the lackeys was: "A fat sheep is coming, only one person, not a tough mark."

Having not had a good meal in a long time, they were naturally extremely excited; Dan Xiongxin had given them a task, and they would be ashamed to go home if they didn't complete it.

Now that a big fat sheep had arrived, they could finally go home and report back.

It was just that they did not know whether the one who had come was a big fat sheep or a big gray wolf.

Duan Fengyun's Spirit Sense had long since discovered this group of Green Forest heroes, but he pretended to know nothing; he wanted to have some fun with this group of people.

Just as he was about to walk under a tree, Duan Fengyun discovered the trap set there.

And the Green Forest heroes in the shadows were also silently chanting, hurry up, hurry up, there is a big gift prepared for you there.

Although this group of Green Forest heroes did not take Duan Fengyun seriously, they believed that caution is the parent of safety, so they still hoped that Duan Fengyun would fall into the trap, saving them the trouble.

Since they thought this way, Duan Fengyun would certainly satisfy them and give them a welcoming gift.

Duan Fengyun strode toward the tree, and without bias, walked straight toward the direction of the trap.

Duan Fengyun walked to the front of the trap, looked at the mechanism under his feet, and after a smile that was hard for others to detect appeared on his face, he stepped directly onto the mechanism.

Only a thud was heard, and Duan Fengyun stepped directly into a trap hidden by tree branches, and he was also immediately hoisted into the tree by a large net that appeared afterward.

"Go, the fat sheep is in the net!"

Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, the Green Forest heroes hurriedly stood up and ran toward Duan Fengyun.

Duan Fengyun, who was hanging from the tree, roared:

"Which blind fool dares to ambush this young master?

Do you believe that this young master will bring men to ransack your home and have your entire family executed?"

At this moment, the voices of the Green Forest heroes rang in his ears.

"I don't care what kind of young master you are.

I opened this mountain, I planted these trees; if you want to pass this road, leave behind your road money.

This is the territory of our Seven Provinces Green Forest Association; if you want to pass, leave your money."

In an instant, seven or eight Green Forest heroes appeared before Duan Fengyun, and the eight men surrounded him tightly.

Duan Fengyun sized up these eight Green Forest heroes, and by their appearance, he knew they were all just a bunch of small lackeys.

So he continued to roar angrily:

"Seven Provinces Green Forest Association?

Are you Dan Xiongxin's men?

Good, do you know who I am?

You actually dare to hang me up and ask me for money.

Go tell Dan Xiongxin that he has tied up someone he shouldn't have tied up.

Then I want Dan Xiongxin to come personally to apologize to me."

Upon hearing Duan Fengyun roar out the name of Dan Xiongxin, this group of Green Forest heroes panicked a little.

After all, those who could recognize their leader were not ordinary people.

Could it be that they really had a misunderstanding and tied up one of their own?

After several Green Forest heroes looked at each other, one of the Green Forest heroes stood out and said:

"This young master, just now we did not know your identity, please forgive us.

Our Second Brother Dan is currently in the Juxian Manor ahead; we will take you there right now.

Come here, hurry and let this young master down." The eight people worked together, hurriedly and clumsily letting Duan Fengyun down.

While working, the few of them said:

"Young master, just now we were blind and did not recognize you.

We have become friends through this fight, and we hope you will not mention this matter in front of our Second Brother Dan."

Looking at the fearful appearance of these Green Forest heroes, Duan Fengyun knew how strict Dan Xiongxin was with them on a daily basis.

This group of people had chosen to become bandits in this era of chaos, so there was no chance of turning back.

They only had one path to walk to the end; if they were driven out of the Seven Provinces Green Forest Association by Dan Xiongxin, they wouldn't know what to do.

And even if they started their own business and began robbing people on the road, with their strength, being wiped out would be an effortless task for others.

Therefore, the Seven Provinces Green Forest Association was now a home they could not leave, and they dared not do anything to make Dan Xiongxin angry.

Duan Fengyun sighed and said:

"Fine, since you have all said so, then I will not hold it against you.

Later, you just tell your Second Brother Dan that you met me by chance on the road.

I proposed that I wanted to see your Second Brother Dan, and you brought me here.

I will not mention what just happened in front of your Second Brother Dan, okay?"

Upon hearing Duan Fengyun's words, the few of them were moved to tears and said:

"Many thanks, young master, many thanks, young master, for your magnanimity."

The few of them surrounded Duan Fengyun in the middle and walked toward Juxian Manor.

They did this, firstly, to protect Duan Fengyun from being ambushed by others.

Secondly, it was to guard against Duan Fengyun running away, because they did not know whether what Duan Fengyun had just said was true or false.

If what Duan Fengyun had just said was false, and they let a big fat sheep go just like that, wouldn't that be a loss that outweighed the gain?

Therefore, to be safe, they surrounded Duan Fengyun in the middle of the eight of them, not giving Duan Fengyun a chance to escape.

Duan Fengyun looked at this group of naive greenwood heroes and laughed inwardly:

"If I really wanted to leave, could you stop me?"

What these few people said was actually quite right; before long, they brought Duan Fengyun to Juxian Manor.

The two heroes responsible for guarding outside Juxian Manor looked at the eight people and Duan Fengyun, who was tightly surrounded by them, and joked:

"Oh my, so cautious, you even need eight people to protect him.

Did you catch a big fat sheep on this trip?

Looking at this, you're going to treat us brothers to wine and meat.

Don't forget, everyone who sees it gets a share, ha."

The small leader among the eight shook his head and said:

"What big fat sheep, don't speak so ugly.

This young master is here to find Second Brother Dan, we are protecting him."

Upon hearing that he was here to find Dan Xiongxin, the two gatekeepers instantly changed their expressions; they stared at Duan Fengyun with serious faces and said:

"Who are you, and what are you doing looking for our Second Brother Dan?"

A person's name is like the shadow of a tree; Dan Xiongxin's name hangs high on the imperial court's wanted list, and there is no shortage of desperate outlaws coming to Juxian Manor to find Dan Xiongxin on any given day, which is why the two guards were so cautious upon hearing it was for Dan Xiongxin.

Duan Fengyun smiled and said:

"I am an old friend of Dan Xiongxin; go tell your Second Brother Dan that my surname is Qin.

He will naturally know who I am!"

Seeing Duan Fengyun's calm and composed appearance, the guard thought Duan Fengyun was truly a friend of Dan Xiongxin, so he said:

"Alright, Mr. Qin, please wait a moment, I will go tell Second Brother Dan right now." The guard ran hurriedly into the main hall; Dan Xiongxin, who was currently studying a map, saw the guard running over and asked:

"So flustered, what is the urgent matter?"

The guard panted and said:

"Second Brother, there is a man surnamed Qin outside who says he is your old friend.

He is still waiting for you outside now."

After hearing this, Dan Xiongxin muttered in confusion:

"An old friend surnamed Qin?

Could it be Shubao!

Come, quickly help him in—no, I will go see him myself!"

Upon hearing this, Dan Xiongxin mistakenly thought that Qin Shubao had come, so he looked excited.

Years ago, when his nephew Dan Chong was blocking the road, he accidentally stepped into a hunter's animal trap, and it was Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao, who saved Dan Chong.

If it weren't for Qin Shubao, Dan Xiongxin would have lost his nephew Dan Chong long ago.

Dan Xiongxin had tried to recruit Qin Shubao back then, but the reason Qin Shubao gave to refuse Dan Xiongxin was exactly the same as the reason he gave to refuse Duan Fengyun.

Qin Shubao and his mother, Ning, had finally settled down with great difficulty, and Qin Shubao did not want to let his mother live the life of displacement he had lived.

Perhaps after Ning passes away, Qin Shubao might follow him onto this path.

Seeing that Qin Shubao had come to find him in person, Dan Xiongxin mistakenly thought that Qin Shubao had an urgent matter or had changed his mind, so he was overjoyed and wanted to go out to see Qin Shubao.

The excited Dan Xiongxin arrived outside the main gate and was about to shout, the two words "Shubao" on the tip of his tongue, but he stopped immediately upon seeing Duan Fengyun's face.

Looking at the unfamiliar Duan Fengyun, Dan Xiongxin turned from joy to anger and said:

"Who are you?

I don't know you at all, why do you claim to be my old friend?"

Upon hearing that Dan Xiongxin did not know Duan Fengyun, everyone present immediately drew their weapons and aimed them at Duan Fengyun.

Looking at the gleaming blades and swords before him, Duan Fengyun laughed:

"You must be Dan Xiongxin, Second Brother Dan.

Although we are not friends, I was sent here to find you by an old friend of yours."

Dan Xiongxin said with a puzzled look:

"Who sent you to find me?"

Duan Fengyun replied:

"My surname is Qin; naturally, it was your old friend with the surname Qin who sent me to find you.

I will speak plainly: it was Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao, who sent me to find you.

Shubao told me that you are a hero of great righteousness, and asked me to join you to conspire for a great cause!"

Dan Xiongxin stared at Duan Fengyun and said:

"You were recommended by Shubao?

Do you have any proof?"

Duan Fengyun said:

"Shubao did not give me any token.

He only told me to find you, Second Brother Dan, and also told me another name: Dan Chong!"

Upon hearing the name Dan Chong, Dan Xiongxin believed him completely.

Years ago, when Dan Chong was a member of the greenwood, Qin Shubao had deliberately let him go; if this were known, it would surely implicate Qin Shubao.

Therefore, Dan Xiongxin did not allow this matter to be spread; the only people who knew about it were Dan Xiongxin, Dan Chong, and Qin Shubao.

Since this stranger now knew about this, it must have been told to him by Qin Shubao; it seems this person's relationship with Qin Shubao must be quite deep.

After confirming Duan Fengyun's identity, Dan Xiongxin waved his hand, signaling everyone to put their weapons away.

Dan Xiongxin opened his mouth and laughed:

"Brother Qin, we truly only got to know each other through a fight.

Please forgive my rudeness just now, please come inside!"
