Qin Huaiyuan's face changed immediately when he heard this. "Are you saying that the silver will not be smelted tonight? And Mr. Cheng knows about this?"

Guo Cheng, the head of Yetie Village, nodded and said with certainty, "Mr. Cheng knows that all this silver can only be melted out the day after tomorrow. Mr. Cheng has made arrangements and will send someone to transport all the silver away the day after tomorrow. Could something have changed?" Guo Cheng also looked puzzled.

Thinking of the strange feeling that the man in black gave him, Qin Huaiyuan knew that something was wrong and was afraid that he was being set up.

He immediately said, "I've been exposed. Send someone to check if anyone has followed me into the village! The melted silver and silver liquid must also be transferred as soon as possible."

Seeing Qin Huaiyuan's serious and ugly expression, Guo Cheng realized that something big had happened.

"Quick, check to see if anyone has sneaked into our village." Guo Cheng hurriedly instructed the people around him, "Send more people to guard the yard."

The man responded and sent another team to guard the yard and interrogate everyone working in the yard one by one.

All the people working here were from their village. They all knew each other except Gu Yun, who was a stranger. When they heard that someone had sneaked into their village, they looked at each other. Gu Yun didn't even have time to find a chance to escape before someone nearby noticed something was wrong.

"Who are you?" The person next to him stared at Gu Yun's dirty face and asked suspiciously.

Hearing the noise, everyone around looked towards Gu Yun with sharp eyes, and soon surrounded Gu Yun. The person in charge also came over and saw at a glance that Gu Yun was not from their village, and shouted, "Catch him!"

A group of people rushed forward, Gu Yun kicked one of them away, grabbed the hand that was attacking him from behind and broke it hard. These villagers only had brute force but no martial arts, so they were no match for Gu Yun.

Qin Huaiyuan and the village chief Guo Cheng came out of the house. When they recognized Gu Yun, they were horrified. A fierce light flashed in their old eyes. "We must capture this man. We cannot leave him alive. Otherwise, we will all die!"

The head of the village heard him and asked, "Does Lord Qin know him?"

"This is Young Marquis Gu from Annan Marquis's Mansion. The matter of the official silver has been exposed. If you let him go, your entire village and I will have no chance of survival!"

As soon as Qin Huaiyuan said this, Guo Cheng realized the seriousness of the matter. Young Marquis Gu's identity was too tricky. Although killing him would cause big trouble, if he let him go, it would cause endless harm.

Guo Cheng immediately took action, drew out a long knife, and pounced towards Gu Yun.

As soon as they met, Gu Yun realized that Guo Cheng, the head of the Iron Smelting Village, was different from other villagers. He had martial arts skills and his skills were not inferior to his.

Gu Yun did not dare to look down on them. The two fought three or four times. Gu Yun was at a disadvantage. The other side had more people, and as the saying goes, a random punch can kill a master. When the villagers heard that no one should be left alive, they swung their knives and started chopping. Gu Yun was almost unable to defend himself.

In his heart, he hoped that Liu Ziqi would see the mark he left and bring his men here quickly, and at the same time he was looking for the opponent's flaws, as if waiting for an opportunity to slip away. However, Guo Cheng pressed very closely, and his moves were fierce and violent, focusing on attacking the lower three routes.

Gu Yun defended and retreated at the same time, and was forced into a corner.

Seeing that Gu Yun was losing ground, Guo Cheng thought that Gu Yun was already exhausted, so he chopped at Gu Yun with the long sword in his hand with overwhelming force.

This was the moment Gu Yun was waiting for. He stepped on the wall behind him with his right foot to gain leverage and leaped. At the moment when Guo Cheng's long sword was about to chop him down, he stepped on the back of the sword exactly, leaped out of the wall, and escaped.

Guo Cheng jumped over the wall and was about to chase him. The moment Gu Yun climbed over the wall and escaped, Qin Huaiyuan frowned and stopped Guo Cheng, "Don't chase him. Hurry up and hide the new silver that has been melted and redecorate this place."

Guo Cheng had already jumped onto the wall. He looked at Gu Yun's figure going farther and farther away with an unwilling look on his face. However, he also knew that even if he chased after him now, he might not be able to stop him. He turned around and returned to the courtyard with a gloomy face. "Such a big thing has happened. I have to send someone to report to Mr. Cheng."
