His sudden words completely stunned the eldest brother. He stared at him blankly, blinking frantically and speaking hesitantly: "You, what do you mean?"
The second in command sighed, put his hand on his shoulder, then looked around, nodded, and left without saying a word, leaving a group of people staring at each other.
"...What do you think, Second in Command, is this?"
After being stunned for a while, the eldest brother murmured.
The big men standing beside him all shook their heads. One of them said cautiously, "From what I see, does the Second in Command support our plan?! Does he also support the First in Command..."
He stopped talking and made a gesture with his hand across his neck.
There was a sound of people gasping for air all around.
The eldest brother scolded him sharply: "Stop talking nonsense!"
Having said that, he was secretly muttering in his heart.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is what the second in command means.
He spat lightly: "Forget it, if he has that intention, he will definitely not leak the information. Let's proceed as planned!"
They gathered together and whispered for a long time.
…
On the other side, in the tent, Scud stood in the middle, his legs trembling, his eyes fixed on the ground, not daring to look up, shrinking timidly.
How could such a person have a list?!
Yang Wu frowned slightly, and looked at Jiang Zhiyu with a bit of doubt in his eyes.
"Thank you for laying in ambush for so long. Xu Yaowen is my uncle. You can rest assured to hand over the list to me."
Scud's breathing was irregular, almost imperceptible, and he said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "What are you talking about? I'm just a handyman."
He shrank his neck timidly, still not looking up.
Jiang Zhiyu walked up to him and looked at him carefully.
The man was forced to retreat step by step by her. Yang Wu was about to speak when he saw Jiang Zhiyu suddenly attack. Her right palm punched out quickly, as fast as lightning, making a whistling sound.
"Why……"
Yang Wu cried out involuntarily. He had practiced martial arts for many years, so he could naturally see the power of Jiang Zhiyu's punch. For a moment, he was surprised that this little girl had such martial arts skills, and at the same time he couldn't help but question it.
She acted so decisively and quickly. Could it be that this fast-moving girl was really an undercover agent planted by Xu Yaowen?
However, the next scene made him give up this idea.
The fast runner seemed to be frightened. He took a few steps back, but he happened to trip on the protruding carpet on the ground. He cried out "Ouch" and fell backwards.
He just managed to dodge Jiang Zhiyu's punch.
The blanket was soft, but even so, Scud was unable to get up from the fall. He looked at her with horror, his voice trembling: "Did I, did I offend the young lady in some way?"
Yang Wu stepped forward and stood in front of him: "Miss, you must have made a mistake. I brought this man back with me. It was definitely not someone the government had interfered with."
Jiang Zhiyu looked at him, then at the Sprinter on the ground, and narrowed his eyes.
[Oh~ I understand, this kid...]
Yang Wu: “???”
What? What do you understand?
Jiang Zhiyu stopped talking: "What the boss said makes sense. I must have made a mistake. I was reckless just now. I'm really sorry." She walked around Yang Wu, pulled Fei Maotui up with one hand, and walked straight to the side: "I'm going to apologize to him right now. Don't come over here."
No, you should finish speaking first, what do you know? He feels uncomfortable when he is halfway through speaking!
Yang Wu subconsciously wanted to follow, but He Yanting stopped him.
Walking to the corner, Jiang Zhiyu let go of Feimaotui's hand: "Okay, he can't hear it here."
Scud was still timid, with a hint of fear in his eyes, but his voice was calmer than ever: "I had no choice just now. Miss, please don't blame me. I have received news from Magistrate Xu."
Jiang Zhiyu nodded slightly. Fei Maotui took out the list from his chest and handed it to Jiang Zhiyu. He paused in the air and said, "Miss, I have another request. It's a humble one."
"What?"
"Please don't reveal my identity to the boss. After the bandit suppression is over, I want to... I want to talk to him myself."
Jiang Zhiyu also guessed what he was thinking and just nodded when he heard it.
Scud looked at her gratefully, watched her put the list away, and took a step back.
Although Yang Wu couldn't hear their voices, he could see their movements. Seeing Fei Mao Tui take a step back, his heart tightened and he took a step forward.
Scud also saw his movements, and stepped forward in small steps, saying, "Boss, I'm going out first."
Thinking he was frightened, Yang Wu nodded.
…
At night, the village was filled with large braziers. The long banquet prepared in the morning was filled with dishes. In the middle was a wild boar as big as two tables, and next to it were jars of wine.
After a few people sat down, Yang Wu raised his hand and the bandits no longer restrained themselves, drinking wine from big bowls and eating meat with big mouthfuls.
After drinking a few bowls of yellow soup, they forgot everything else and started playing finger-guessing games, shouting and laughing from time to time.
The eldest brother held the wine bowl and walked up to Yang Wu: "Boss, today's incident is ultimately due to my poor judgment of people. I led them into the village and exposed our location."
He glanced at Jiang Zhiyu and He Yanting who were sitting next to Yang Wu with a hidden look in his eyes.
"I am willing to accept the punishment. This bowl of wine will serve as apology. From now on, big brother, you can beat me or punish me as you like. I won't say a word!"
He picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Several drunken men nearby cheered, "Okay!"
He filled Yang Wu's bowl again and held it up with both hands: "Boss, please."
Yang Wu glanced at him and said nothing. He took it with one hand, tilted his head back and drank a bowl.
The eldest brother was about to pour him another glass, but Yang Wu stopped him: "Alright, my old injury hasn't healed yet, I can't drink too much, go ahead."
He raised his chin slightly and pointed at the bandits who were playing finger-guessing games over there.
The eldest brother put down the wine jar: "Oh, okay."
He turned around, a strange smile on his face.
After three rounds of drinking, the laughter and shouting gradually died down, and many of the bandits lay on the table, unconscious.
Yang Wu was about to stand up and speak, but when he raised his hand, his face froze, and his hand on the table began to tremble, and he felt weak all over.
He tried to stand up, but he had no strength and could only lie weakly on the table.
Others were in a similar situation as him.
Seeing the surprise on their faces, the eldest brother who had been observing them silently couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He walked forward with his hands spread out, looked at Yang Wu lying on the table, and gently patted his face with his palms.
It is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
"Don't even think about it. It was me who did it. I put Ten Fragrance Muscle Softening Powder in this wine. Just lie still."
Yang Wu looked up at him with a calm expression: "Why?"
"Why?" The eldest brother sneered, "There's no room for two tigers in one mountain. I'm sure the boss hasn't heard of it."
