Chapter 419: The Xie Family is a bit seriously ill
The bandits went down the mountain, and the back mountain was empty.
There was no signal coming from the mountain. Xie Yuchuan thought about the estimated time and decided to take some risks and proceed according to the original plan.
Tu Huan drove beside him, galloping at full speed. Before long, there was no trace of the exile team behind them.
Xiong Jiushan was in charge of the rear, leading the escorts and armed exiles, and also quickening their pace forward.
The spy who was lying in ambush in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain watched for a long time and then went back to report.
"Boss, there's something wrong with the batch of goods down the mountain!"
"What's the problem? Tell me the truth."
Just as I learned the details, I heard my men outside rushing in to report the news.
"Boss, the kid's lost!"
"What?!"
A figure slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily: "Useless! You can even lose a bunch of old, weak, women and children! What are you doing!"
After eyeing the "good stuff" for a long time, not only did I fail to get it again and again when I was about to close the net, but I even let a group of outsiders take advantage of it. I don't know what those "people" down the mountain have been busy with these days.
The people below reported this tricky and annoying result to the second-in-command Lin Diao.
After hearing this, Lin Diao was silent for a while, then turned around, took a longbow from the wall, picked up the bow and arrow, led his horse out, and personally led his men down the mountain.
As for the village, Lin Diao specially called his confidants before going down the mountain.
"Go! Seal the secret door in the back mountain completely."
"Ah? Second Master, the door is sealed. What are we going to do next?"
Lin Diao narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "I can't care about so many things. The situation below the mountain is urgent, and we have to defend the mountain too. The boss is away, and if I go down the mountain to take charge of the situation, there will definitely be people who will take advantage of the chaos and make plans. I will seal it off first and defend it for the time being. We can talk about the future later."
"Okay, boss, I understand."
"Well, remember, move fast!"
Lin Diao thought for a moment and then warned, "If anyone else interferes, you'll have to handle it yourself."
"this……"
"Um?"
“I remember it!!!”
Lin Diao left with satisfaction. The news coming from the mountain was becoming increasingly out of control. If he let go of the things and people they wanted, he, Lin Diao, would not live until tomorrow morning.
But if he took care of the area below but didn't keep an eye on the mountain, the result would be the same: 81 blows and he would have to kowtow and admit his guilt.
He couldn't command the people under Wan Lichun.
Since he couldn't defend it, he might as well destroy it. Before they succeeded, he would definitely complete the mission and strike back.
Even if it's delayed for a while, what about later?
Oh.
When he becomes successful this time, there will be nothing he won’t get.
A large number of people suddenly rushed down the mountain howling, and the village suddenly felt much emptier.
Xie Wuying was bent over and squatting in the fire room working. He was covered in smoke from wood from head to toe, and his nose was choked by the smoke. People who passed by him, those with better tempers, covered their noses and cursed, "What a terrible smell!" and then left to deal with other urgent matters.
Those with impatient tempers would simply slap Xie Wuying and push him aside when they saw him "accidentally" blocking their way!
Qinglongzhai has important things to do today. Xie Wuying is a "small fry" under Zhao Gong and is not qualified to go down the mountain to work.
Suddenly, most of the people in the village disappeared. The cook was busy preparing for the celebration banquet later, so he was short of people. He carried a rice spoon and shouted at the top of his lungs to see if there was anyone who was still unable to come down the mountain.
Zhao Gong's identity as he was hiding in Qinglong Village was somewhat special.
Lin Diao never trusted him anyway, even though he had helped the village survive several crises before and Wan Lichun was very optimistic about him, but Lin Diao always secretly felt that "Zhao Gong" did not want to be a bandit who killed people without blinking an eye.
He once suspected that Zhao Gong was a government official, and was scolded by Wan Lichun, which led to an unpleasant quarrel between the two.
What's more, Zhao Gong also agreed to go find the group led by the boss Wan Lichun first.
Lin Diao classified him as one of those people who didn't know whether to live or die, and didn't take him with him when he went down the mountain this time.
Instead, he asked people to keep a close eye on Zhao Gong.
The situation has changed, and Zhao Gong's identity is no longer secure, but the task assigned by his master Han Qiguang has not been completed yet.
The cook of Qinglongzhai was calling people outside, and Zhao Gong was instructing Xie Wuying in the room.
"Master Wuying, there's something fishy going on in the mountains. It's not suitable for us to stay here any longer. How about I take you down the mountain to a smaller path and get out of the way?"
Xie Wuying thought for a moment and said seriously, "It's easy for me to go down the mountain and avoid them, but there aren't many people you can use in the village. Besides, before Lin Diao went down the mountain, he even sent people to keep an eye on you. If this continues, Brother Zhao, you will be in a very passive position."
Zhao Gong knew this very well.
Xie Wuying thought for a moment and said, "How about this? If you trust me, I'll handle your line for you, and you can do other things. That way, maybe we won't be so passive."
Zhao Gong shook his head and refused: "No! It's too dangerous. The master asked me to take care of you, not to harm you."
"Do you think I'm young and ignorant?" Xie Wuying asked.
Zhao Gong quickly asked, "How could that be?"
"Qinglong Village is quite complicated. Occupying the mountain as king is just a facade. The master originally came here to test the waters, but he didn't expect that such a small village would have so many hidden secrets."
"You're new here, and you might accidentally touch taboos. Wan Lichun is not here, and the people in other villages won't be as easy to talk to as he is."
Xie Wuying didn't agree with it. In the past few days since he came here, he was amazed by the rumors he heard from the village about the boss.
"He is not a good person either," Xie Wuying concluded.
Zhao Gong deeply agreed. "Compared to others, he at least won't kill innocent people. The people in this village are complicated, especially now. It's hard to tell whether they are human or ghost. It's better to be cautious."
Xie Wuying nodded, and just then he heard the cook calling out from outside the room.
A pair of clever eyes darted around a few times, and he asked Zhao Gong uncertainly, "Brother Zhao, do you know where the food in the dungeon in the back mountain was delivered?"
Zhao Gong was stunned for a moment, then listened to the noise outside, and seemed to realize what Xie Wuying was trying to say.
His eyes rolled and lit up!
"That's a good idea."
So, Xie Wuying "dressed up" a little, opened the door lazily, and "cursed" without knowing the consequences, "Keep your voice down! Are you making too much noise?"
As a result, the cook who was catching people to work was suddenly enraged. He rushed forward, grabbed his neck and threw him out.
"Go get some work! How dare you pick a fight with me!"
Xie Wuying followed him obediently.
Before leaving, he gave Zhao Gong a "proud" look.
Zhao Gong sighed inwardly: The warriors of the Xie family are truly a group of geniuses!
