On the cliff, the wind was howling.
Behind the flat land is a dense forest that looks like it was planted by humans. Such tall spruce trees would not grow on the seaside.
There were traces of people walking in the forest, although they were very subtle, Xie Ling still caught them.
Based on the footprints, she concluded that the man was a middle-aged man about 1.8 meters tall and in his thirties.
He also knows martial arts. His footsteps are so light that they leave almost no trace on the leaves. If Xie Ling hadn't been careful and rigorous, she wouldn't have been able to notice him.
Xie Ling was very nervous and didn't dare to relax, so she walked forward cautiously.
The road conditions in the forest are very complicated, with many thorn bushes and weeds.
Following the man's trail, Xie Ling came to a huge cave.
Before I even entered, I could smell an indescribable stench from afar.
The sour smell of human body, the smell of excrement, and various sweat odors.
Xie Ling felt so disgusted that she almost vomited, and quickly took out a black cloth from the space and put it on.
She used lightness skills and approached the cave carefully. She did not use any special powers, but only lightness skills.
Since learning martial arts, Xie Ling has rarely used his supernatural powers.
She always felt that super powers were given by the outside world and were picked up for free. A good blacksmith must be strong himself. Practicing martial arts well is better than using super powers all the time.
When we arrived at the entrance of the cave, the smell was so strong that it made us cry. There were also noisy voices, crying, and quarreling, making it a mess.
It seems that this is where Wang Shouyi imprisons prisoners.
Xie Ling looked inside. There was no light at all. It was pitch black and she couldn't even see a single figure.
The cave was damp and narrow, so the prisoners' living conditions must have been very poor.
This Wang Shouyi is also a black-hearted person.
People are brought here like animals, and their lives are worse than those of pigs and dogs.
The pigs in the Sinan military camp live better than these prisoners.
Just as she was thinking, Xie Ling suddenly felt a cool breeze coming from her armpits, bringing with it a chill. She quickly jumped up and jumped onto the wall beside her, narrowly avoiding it.
She saw a tall man standing where she was originally standing. He was wearing a singlet and shorts, and a black cloth. Only a pair of sharp eyes with murderous intent were revealed.
Without waiting for Xie Ling to say anything, the man immediately attacked again with his five fingers in the shape of eagle claws.
Xie Ling had no choice but to meet him.
The man was highly skilled in martial arts and martial arts, and Xie Ling was gradually defeated. She used a trick and the courier flew out of the cave.
While the man's vision had not yet adjusted to the bright light outside, Xie Ling spoke quickly, "I have no grudge against the hero. I don't know why the hero has been chasing me so closely!"
She said this in the hope that the two could resolve their conflict and stop fighting, as they were not enemies.
If the man continues to insist, she will have to use technology......
The man's figure was like a lone eagle. After his eyes adjusted to the light outside, his cold gaze fell on Xie Ling's face and his voice was icy.
"I don't like to be blamed—"
He suddenly stopped talking halfway.
His eyes were full of shock, without a trace of murderous intent. He stared at Xie Ling closely and said something earth-shattering.
"Ms. Xie Ling?"
Then, he half-knelt down in front of Xie Ling and said, "I am disrespectful to you for bumping into you, young lady!"
Xie Ling frowned, "Who are you?"
The man took off the black cloth on his face, revealing a face with sharp lines.
"I'm Shopkeeper Wu, don't you recognize me?"
Xie Ling tried hard to search for this person's face in her mind.
Shopkeeper Wu, he seems to be the accountant of my uncle's family?
It was also common when I was a child. This person had a frosty face, was taciturn, and looked very difficult to get along with. However, he was very nice to Xie Ling and often bought her candy without telling anyone.
Xie Ling was very surprised. She took off the cloth on his face, helped him up, and then asked, "Why are you here?"
Although Shopkeeper Wu stood up, he still bowed slightly when speaking to Xie Ling, being very respectful.
"Didn't your husband send people to the capital to pick up your mother, uncle and his family? I was going to go with him, but suddenly I learned that something happened at home, so I left first, thinking that I would go to Lingnan by myself later. Now that I have dealt with my family affairs, I have come to Lingnan to look for you. Have your mother and uncle arrived?"
Xie Ling thought to herself.
My uncle and his kinsmen are not people without sense of propriety. They even told Manager Wu about such a big matter as coming to Lingnan, which shows that they must trust him very much.
But there are too many suspicious points about Manager Wu.
First of all, his martial arts skills are so superb, would such a person be willing to be an accountant for an ordinary merchant?
Secondly, why did he appear in the place where Wang Shouyi imprisoned prisoners?
Xie Ling is not bragging. After these days of training, her martial arts skills are almost comparable to Shu Jian, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood. She can fight hundreds of moves without losing.
But he couldn't even last twenty moves against Shopkeeper Wu!
His background must be complicated.
Shopkeeper Wu felt very relieved when he saw Xie Ling's suspicious expression and defensive posture.
As expected of the prince's beloved child, she is extremely smart.
With someone like this, I would feel at ease handing over Changfeng Camp to her in the future.
