Chapter 266: Questioning the Second In Command
"Then there is only one possibility. Someone has erased all traces of the Baili clan's existence in Ning County." Su Chenyu pondered, "My grandfather left Ning County when he was young. It is impossible that I did something for him. Obviously, your great uncle did something to make the clan leader of Ning County erase the existence of the Baili clan."
"It seems that there are still many secrets in Ning County, but I don't know if we still have a chance to discover them." Baili Yanqing knew very well that if Ning County was burned down, many things would eventually become a secret, but if Ning County was left behind, it would only bring about a greater crisis.
The best way is to erase the entire existence of Ning County.
When the sky began to glow, Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing had already set out for Mount Yunyun.
The terrain of Mount Yun is rugged and easy to defend but difficult to attack. The people who chose this place as their base were quite smart.
The two men shuttled through the woods, making almost no noise, and the secret sentries guarding the woods did not notice them passing by.
At the top of the Yiyun Mountain is a huge flat land where Yiyun Village is built. Outside is a circle of towering walls with a lookout every few meters.
The two men squatted on the tree and observed for a while, and then they found that there were two gates in the Yun Village, which were always guarded, and there were also people patrolling outside the wall.
Only the lookout tower was empty; the night watchmen must have gone to rest.
Su Chenyu glanced at Baili Yanqing, and Baili Yanqing instantly understood what she meant.
The guards at the Yun Village were indeed tight, but these bandits had not received strict training, so they appeared lax when patrolling. The best way to get in right now was to avoid those patrolling bandits and go in from the lookout tower.
While the two patrol shifts were taking over, Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing flew over the wall at the same time and hid in the lookout tower.
Someone felt as if something flew over his head. He looked up suspiciously, but saw nothing. Could it be a bird flying over?
After entering the Yun Village, Su Chenyu discovered that the inside was completely different from the outside.
The patrollers outside, no matter what, can at least pretend to be doing it, but the bandits inside, are all locked in their rooms, sleeping soundly, or gathering in groups of three to drink and eat meat. They live a really carefree life.
"Why is this Yun Village so disorganized?" Su Chenyu was a little surprised.
"The one who made the rules and the one who is in charge now are two different people." Baili Yanqing combined the words of the bandit pretending to be a servant and had a guess in his mind, "The first boss should be a powerful person, but he is not in charge now. The second boss probably relies on Madam Mei for everything. Madam Mei often stays in Ning County and can't take care of him at all. How can he manage his subordinates?"
"Let's go meet this second in command."
The second-in-command's room is easy to find; it's in the hall with the loudest noise.
The two of them squatted on the roof again, lifted the tiles and looked down.
In the lobby, a sturdy man with a beard was sitting on the topmost recliner. He should be the second in command.
He held a thin woman in his arms. Judging from the woman's expression, she must have been forced into this situation; she dared not move at all in his embrace.
"Brothers, drink quickly." The second in command raised the wine bowl and shouted to the bandits below to drink.
