Deng Yong agreed without refusal, saying:
"Alright, please sit for a moment, I'll take Brother Xiaoqi for a stroll in the backyard."
Old Deng could grow his private salt business until it was stable enough to come ashore, thanks to Elder Liang's support in the past.
It's important to know, Black Water River has never been peaceful.
Those water thieves hiding in the reed marsh, robbing boats, have been like weeds in the field, cut down again and again, never fully cleaned out.
If it wasn't for the Fishery Guard patrolling and eliminating, neither the fisherman's sampans nor the merchant ships on the river would have peaceful times.
This favor is immensely important!
If neglected, and the word reaches Old Deng's ears, I might be disciplined and have my legs broken.
Seeing Deng Yong being polite, without a hint of impatience or disdain, Bai Qi on one hand marvels at Old Liang's face-saving ability, and on the other grows more understanding of the martial arts rules.
