The man nodded vigorously again, behaving very obediently. Gu Yuan released his mouth and pressed it down again. Gu Yuan knew that if this guy moved or wanted to make a sound, Gu Yuan would wipe his neck in an instant and would never let it make a sound, putting himself in a passive situation.

Gu Yuan saw him and continued to ask, "Tell me, where is your headquarters?"

The man's voice was a little hoarse. He endured the pain from his leg and whispered, "My lord, I can't tell you this directly. If you want to go, I can take you there. We actually have two or three headquarters, and they change from time to time. I'm not sure where the headquarters is today. We are usually not at the headquarters, but in a branch. Our people basically operate in the branch.

And in those two or three headquarters, only our leader and two deputy leaders were living in the two or three headquarters, switching places back and forth."

Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Oh, really? So that's how it is. A cunning rabbit really has three burrows."

Looking at the man, he asked, "What is the strength of your leader and deputy leader?"

The man replied, "All three of them are at the Spirit Master level. One is a third-level Spirit Master and the other two are first-level Spirit Masters, possibly second-level Spirit Masters."

Gu Yuan nodded and asked again, "Among all the horse bandits, are there only three Spirit Masters?"

The man nodded and quickly replied, "Yes, only our leader and two deputy leaders are Spirit Masters. The rest are all below the Spirit Master level. As for our people, most of their strength is concentrated in Spirit Masters, about a dozen of them. Among them, there are three or four ninth-level Spirit Masters, and three or four fifth-level Spirit Masters. The rest are below fifth-level Spirit Masters."

The man cleverly told Gu Yuan the distribution of all their strengths.

Gu Yuan nodded. The reason he asked about this matter again was because he was afraid that the horse thief he had killed before was lying to him.

He asked the man again to make sure he got the latest information and to see if the man was lying to him.

It turns out that what these two people said is exactly the same and it seems to be correct.

Gu Yuan has always been a cautious person. He is not willing to take risks easily, and he is even less willing to rush in rashly after hearing what a horse thief casually said. If there are strong ones among those horse thieves at that time, then he will definitely be the one who suffers. This is where Gu Yuan is more cautious. He will only enter Qingliang Mountain after confirming that the news in the air is true.

If he found out that it was impossible, then he would never take the risk. After all, his own life was the most important thing. To put it bluntly, the lives of others were none of his business. However, since he had promised the people in that village, Gu Yuan had to do his best to do it. Otherwise, if the villagers of Shuilong Village were killed because of his affairs, Gu Yuan would always feel a little guilty and uncomfortable. After all, Gu Yuan was not a vicious person, and it was impossible for him to ignore the fact that others would kill him because of him.

Therefore, Gu Yuan wanted to make this matter as perfect as possible to help the villagers of Shuilong Village solve the future troubles. This was also his promise to the villagers of Shuilong Village.

Since it was his promise, Gu Yuan would definitely try his best to fulfill it. After all, he has always been a man who keeps his promises.

Whether it is to his friends or to these strangers, Gu Yuan requires himself to keep his promises. People who do not keep their promises have extremely poor quality, and Gu Yuan does not want to be such a person.

After learning from the man about the distribution of the Qingliang Mountain bandits' strength, Gu Yuan looked at him again and said, "Tell me about those. The general direction of the cave and the location of your bandit group's activities."

The horse thief nodded and said, "Our main force is usually active in the area east of here. We walk forward from here and pass the first cave before moving forward. There are two caves, that is, in the third cave, there is an extremely hidden cave entrance. The area inside the cave entrance is very large, and there is plenty of water and food. Our main force is basically active there. If there is any mission, our leader will notify us and let us act in batches. In fact, most of the time, there is no one in the cave because our team is divided into batches. We are not only active in this area, some teams will go to farther places.

Only if we can get the spoils will we return to the cave to consolidate our energy and recuperate. In other words, there are not actually many of you in the cave where your main force is now.

The horse thief nodded, then shook his head and said, "Not really. We are in the cave now because our leader's birthday is in two days, so our large army has basically gathered and should all be in the cave now. We are waiting for the leader's birthday to arrive so that we can celebrate for him."

Gu Yuan sneered and said, "If that's the case, then why did you nod just now?"

The man showed a trace of fear and hurriedly explained, "Sir, if you don't believe me, I can take you there. All our people are really there. If I lied to you, you can even kill me."

Gu Yuan sneered in his heart and became secretly alert. If those guys were not in Shandong, it would not matter if he came back empty-handed. What he was afraid of was that there was an ambush there. If that was the case, Gu Yuan would be in trouble.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yuan lifted the man up and said, "Come on, take me there. Let's go to where your leaders are first. They should be in the cave. The man said, 'If nothing unexpected happens, our leader and deputy leader should be in the cave.' But I'm not sure where the two or three of them are, and where the cave entrance is."

Gu Yuan frowned, "You don't even know where your leader is?"

The man continued, "I only know of one place where my acquaintances and deputy chiefs often hang out. The young beauties they plunder from other villages are basically enjoyed by our chief and deputy chief. Our chief is quite interested and likes more exciting things, so he often does that kind of thing at this time."

Gu Yuan frowned tightly. He naturally understood what the man meant by the leader doing that kind of thing, and secretly aroused murderous intent in his heart.

These horse thieves are damnable.
