Jiang Zhuojun saw Gu Xinglang staring at the candle flame, so he also looked at the tiny candle flame and said in a low voice: "We should give it a try, right?"
In the low and shabby room, there was only a tiny ray of light. Gu Xinglang was sitting at the table, and his whole body was still outside the light, silent and a little creepy.
Jiang Zhuojun didn't wait for Gu Xinglang to speak, so he could only say: "If Brother Gu really falls into Mo Wen's hands, as long as we stay in this village, this old thief will definitely come looking for us."
Gu Xinglang remained silent for a long time. Just when Jiang Zhuojun thought that this man was not going to talk again tonight, Gu Sanshao whispered, "Are you sure he will come to see us?"
"The Miao people have their own gods," Jiang Zhuojun said, "Mo Wen must have put a lot of effort into this village."
Gu Xinglang said: "What if my elder brother is more important than this village?"
Jiang Zhuojun stopped tapping on the table.
"It's getting late, you should go and rest," Gu Xinglang whispered.
Jiang Zhuojun sat with Gu Xinglang for a while. The sound of rain outside the house never got quieter.
"Go and have a rest," Gu Xinglang said after sitting there for a while, "Your injuries are not all healed yet."
Jiang Zhuojun stood up. No matter how anxious they were, they had to force themselves to rest. Otherwise, how would they deal with what would happen tomorrow? "What about you?" Jiang Zhuojun asked Gu Xinglang before leaving.
Gu Xinglang said: "I will guard the first half of the night, and you will guard the second half."
"Okay," Jiang Zhuojun pointed at the table and left the shabby room.
Gu Xinglang sat alone for about an hour, and then the eldest master ran into the humble room and reported to Gu Xinglang: "Prince consort, the two monks have woken up."
Gu Xinglang looked up at the boss.
The big boss said, "Should we continue the trial? These two seem to be martial artists, and they can take a beating."
Gu Xinglang said: "Did they talk to the leader?"
"No," the boss said, "the two groups of people stayed in the same room, sitting on the left and right sides. I watched for a long time, and the two groups did not look at each other."
"It seems they know we want to hear them talk," Gu Xinglang sneered.
The big boss said: "No one who can enter the Temple of Eternal Life is a fool. For those who don't speak, just give them a look. It won't take any effort."
Gu Xinglang stood up, walked out, and said, "I'll go see them."
"Hey," the boss followed behind Gu Xinglang.
It was still raining heavily outside, and the rain splashed on his face, making Gu Xinglang inexplicably anxious.
The eldest master said, "Prince consort, if the rain keeps falling, the princess won't be able to come back for a few days."
Gu Xinglang didn't let Ergouzi hold an umbrella for him. He held the umbrella himself and walked into the rain.
The boss waved his hand and told Er Gouzi not to follow them.
Gu Xinglang asked: "Where are the people in this village arranged to rest?"
The big boss said, "General Xiao Jiang pointed to two rooms and locked the people there. I checked those two rooms and they were leaking, but it was better than leaving them out in the rain."
Gu Xinglang didn't respond to the boss's words.
The boss turned his head and glanced at his own prince consort, and seeing that Gu Xinglang still had a gloomy face, the boss did not dare to say anything more.
Brother Tang and the elite cavalryman who could speak Miao dialect were still guarding outside the stone house. When they saw Gu Xinglang and the boss coming over, they saluted Gu Xinglang together.
Gu Xinglang said: "You two go down and have a rest."
Brother Tang said, "Prince Consort, what about the people inside?"
"They won't talk tonight," Gu Xinglang whispered, "You guys go down."
Brother Tang said, "Prince consort, are you going to interrogate those two monks?"
"I don't need your help while I'm talking to them," Gu Xinglang gestured to Brother Tang to leave.
"Hey," Brother Tang said to Gu Xinglang in a respectful voice, "Then we will leave."
The elite cavalry was pulled back by Brother Tang, and standing under a roof, they asked Brother Tang: "Are we just going to leave like this? What if the Prince Consort wants to talk to those barbarian slaves?"
Brother Tang said, "Don't you see that the Prince Consort is upset right now? Brother, listen to me. When the master is upset, we should listen to whatever he says. This is the right way to go."
"You should leave as well," Gu Xinglang said to the boss while standing in front of the stone house.
The big boss said, "Ah? I'm going to withdraw too?"
Gu Xinglang said “hmm”.
The boss did not dare to disobey Gu Xinglang's order at this time. He nodded and withdrew.
Gu Xinglang pushed the door open and entered the stone house, leaning the umbrella against the door frame.
This stone house was built downwards and looks like a basement, with five levels of stone steps behind the door.
When the two monks from the Eternal Life Temple saw Gu Xinglang slowly walking down the stone steps, they immediately sat up straight.
The headman and the village managers, a total of ten people, saw Gu Xinglang and subconsciously retreated to the corner.
Gu Xinglang walked up to the two monks.
There was a candlestick above the two monks' heads, with two candles lit on it. The light was much brighter than in the humble room.
"Where is Mo Wen?" Gu Xinglang asked, looking down at the two monks.
The monk who had deceived Yu Xiaoxiao with Miao dialect during the day smiled softly and said, "Are you Gu Xinglang?"
"Where is Mo Wen?" Gu Xinglang asked the same question.
"You shouldn't come here," the monk sat on the ground, looking up at Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang said: "Shouldn't I come here?"
"You shouldn't have come," the monk whispered, "and neither should your elder brother."
Gu Xinglang nodded, "You arrested my elder brother."
The monk said, "We are going to arrest you too."
Gu Xinglang was stunned.
The two monks suddenly jumped up from the ground, stretched out their arms, and broke the chains on their bodies. Without waiting for Gu Xinglang to react, the two men simultaneously reached out to grab Gu Xinglang's throat.
Gu Xinglang fell backwards, avoiding the hands of the two monks.
The monk who had remained silent raised his leg and kicked out. The wind created by this action blew out the candle on the candlestick.
Gu Xinglang failed to dodge the monk's kick and was flipped in the air by the monk.
The monk chased forward and swung his palm.
Gu Xinglang reluctantly turned his body to the side.
The palm wind landed on the stone wall behind Gu Xinglang, and the sound of falling rocks was heard.
"You are quite capable to dodge two of our attacks," the monk who spoke earlier said to Gu Xinglang while standing in the darkness.
Gu Xinglang knelt on one knee on the ground and spit something on the ground. His mouth was immediately filled with a fishy-sweet taste.
The two monks approached Gu Xinglang together, their footsteps falling silently.
The headman and several stewards were huddled in the corner. In the darkness they couldn't see clearly what was happening in the room, but the headmen didn't even dare to breathe.
