37: Chapter 37 Wang Shan Wants Revenge!
Wang Shan was furious, his eyes turning red.
He looked like an injured lion, unable to move, yet filled with rage.
"Banner Master Zhao, don't push me too far!"
Wang Shan gritted his teeth.
Zhao Zilong smiled faintly and said, "It's just a joke. Why take it so seriously, Banner Master Wang? That's no fun. If you get angry so easily, how are we supposed to play together in the future?"
It was clearly you, Zhao Zilong, who made such an outrageous demand, yet you call yourself petty. Can you be any more of a bastard, Zhao Zilong?
Wang Shan could easily imagine that if he had agreed, Zhao Zilong might really have dared to merge the Second Banner into the Third Banner, and he, Wang Shan, would have to listen to Zhao Zilong in the future.
Now that he was acting like he was ready to fight to the death, Zhao Zilong changed his tune and said it was a joke.
Can you be any more shameless, Zhao Zilong?
He had seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless.
"Banner Master Wang, I haven't thought of the third condition yet. I'll tell you when I have."
Zhao Zilong really hadn't thought of it.
"Zhao Zilong, you..."
Wang Shan was truly infuriated, but he couldn't do anything about Zhao Zilong. He finally compromised and said in a deep voice, "I hope it won't be too long, and don't go too far."
Zhao Zilong smiled faintly. "I guarantee you'll accept it happily, Banner Master Wang."
I still have to accept it happily? I guarantee I won't cry, is that okay?
Wang Shan gritted his teeth in hatred. He had lost face today. If this matter got out, he wouldn't be able to hold his head up in the Fuzheng Division for a while.
He had really lost big this time for the sake of pleural Ge Yun.
His heart was bleeding.
"Banner Master Wang, since the matter here is settled, I have things to discuss with my brothers, so I won't keep you."
Zhao Zilong said indifferently.
Wang Shan just glared at Zhao Zilong without speaking. He looked at his men, and Tong Yun ran over to help Wang Shan up.
Tong Yun's face showed unwillingness. "Banner Master, do you really want me to work under Zhao Zilong?"
Wang Shan said, "If you lose, you have to admit it. Go over there."
Then he winked at Tong Yun, and Tong Yun understood and nodded.
Wang Shan left with the others from the Second Banner.
Pleural Ge Yun and Tong Yun stayed behind.
Tong Yun looked at Zhao Zilong with a complicated expression.
Pleural Ge Yun walked up to Zhao Zilong.
"Banner Master Zhao, I, pleural Ge Yun, have lost, so I will not break my word. I offended you previously, and I apologize."
Saying this, pleural Ge Yun prepared to kneel.
Zhao Zilong reached out to support pleural Ge Yun.
"Banner Master Zhao, what are you doing?"
Pleural Ge Yun was surprised.
Zhao Zilong said, "Since you are working under me, you are one of us. Let's let the past be the past."
As he spoke, he patted pleural Ge Yun on the shoulder, appearing very magnanimous.
Pleural Ge Yun was actually moved; Zhao Zilong hadn't made him kneel or lose face.
Zhao Zilong was actually a pretty good guy.
"Don't worry, Banner Master Zhao. From now on, I, pleural Ge Yun, will follow your lead."
Pleural Ge Yun said sincerely.
Zhao Zilong nodded with satisfaction. Pleural Ge Yun remembered something and said, "Banner Master Zhao, what about the silver?"
Zhao Zilong slapped his forehead, realizing belatedly, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten."
"Does that mean I don't have to pay it?"
Pleural Ge Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then he heard Zhao Zilong say, "Even brothers must settle accounts clearly. The silver must be paid."
Pleural Ge Yun: "@ = @"

Wang Shan returned to the Second Banner's quarters with his men.
He entered the room and pushed all the files off the desk, extremely angry.
"Zhao Zilong has gone too far. I, Wang Shan, swear I will never let him go. I will definitely take revenge for today's grudge!"
Wang Shan gritted his teeth.
He would remember today's humiliation and would definitely take revenge.
His subordinate said, "Banner Master, Zhao Zilong was indeed too much today. We absolutely cannot let him go."
After venting, Wang Shan's emotions stabilized. He sat in the chair behind the desk and said, "However, today's matter is not without any benefits for us. We can't count on that blockhead pleural Ge Yun, but Tong Yun is different."
"With Tong Yun staying by Zhao Zilong's side, we can get a lot of information about Zhao Zilong's case solving in the future, and we can snatch the credit from his hands."
"Banner Master, do you mean Zhao Zilong can still catch people from the former dynasty?"
The subordinate was a bit skeptical.
Wang Shan said, "Zhao Zilong just took office yesterday and already caught two people from the former dynasty. It seems like it was a bit of luck, but that doesn't hide the fact that Zhao Zilong has some ability."
The subordinate flattered him, "No wonder Banner Master agreed to give Tong Yun to him. This is planting an inside agent."
Wang Shan couldn't help but smile triumphantly. "Otherwise, do you think I would have agreed so easily? Although Zhao Zilong seems to have gained a big advantage this time, in reality, I didn't lose much."

In the Third Banner's quarters, Zhao Zilong's desk was piled full of files.
Zhao Zilong had a headache; he didn't know when he would finish reading these files, but to find more information about the people from the former dynasty, he had to bite the bullet and read.
He ate his lunch in the Fuzheng Division; Zhao Zilong was very diligent.
He continued reading the files in the afternoon, and by evening, Zhao Zilong stretched and finished his day's work.
He was prepared to work a little longer, but Cai Wenjing came to find him.
Because Zhao Zilong's cooking skills had been demonstrated and were very good, Cai Wenjing was prepared to let Zhao Zilong cook at the Princesss Residence for the next few days, taking charge of the Princess's diet.
This was a way to build a good relationship with the Princess, so Zhao Zilong naturally wouldn't refuse.
Moreover, to prevent the Princess of the Former Dynasty from attacking him again at night, Zhao Zilong had decided to stay at the Princesss Residence.
Zhao Zilong and Cai Wenjing walked toward the Princesss Residence. On the way, Cai Wenjing asked Zhao Zilong, "I heard you spent the whole day reading files about the former dynasty. Did you gain anything?"
Zhao Zilong said, "I did gain something, but there are still some places I haven't figured out yet. I need to think about it some more."
"What places haven't you figured out? Tell me about it?" Cai Wenjing asked curiously.
Zhao Zilong said, "Is Deputy Director Cai not angry with me anymore?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Wenjing's face darkened, and she glared at Zhao Zilong fiercely. "I will remember what happened between us, but now we are talking about work."
Zhao Zilong had seen that Cai Wenjing was in a good mood, which is why he asked, not expecting to stir up her anger. His mouth was truly troublesome.
Zhao Zilong said with a serious expression, "Deputy Director Cai, most of the files I reviewed today were about the people from the former dynasty that our Director Chen had captured. Our Director Chen really has good methods; it's admirable."
"Director Chen was able to rise from a regular Fuzheng Division official to Director completely through his own ability. It is indeed admirable."
When Cai Wenjing spoke of Director Chen Cang, she seemed very admiring.
Zhao Zilong said, "However, what I'm curious about is that, judging from the files, the people from the former dynasty that our Director Chen captured don't seem to have been involved in any treasonous activities."
"Zhao Zilong, what are you trying to say?"
Cai Wenjing's brows couldn't help but furrow, and she turned her head to stare at Zhao Zilong.
