Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng smiled but said nothing.
At this moment, Li Yan pulled Min Yu and walked up to Base Chief Wu, smiling as he spoke to him.
"Commander Wu, we just defeated the enemy down below, all thanks to Minyu and Yunxi."
They used smoke grenades to knock down all the enemies before we could take them to the dungeon.
Minyu made this smoke grenade himself, and its power is no less than that of our base's. I just took the liberty of asking Minyu, and he agreed to make smoke grenades for our base.
The condition is that our base will provide the materials, he will provide the technology, and the reward will be gold or jade.
Commander Wu was somewhat shocked by Li Yan's words.
"Oh? It seems that society nowadays belongs to the young. That's right. Minyu, since you've agreed to make smoke bombs for our base, don't worry, the materials base will provide them. I'll also agree to your request for gold and jade. As long as you make a batch and deliver it to Li Yan, I'll have Xiao Zhou pay you."
Upon hearing this, Minyu was also very happy. It would be good to earn some gold for her sister-in-law and do something. Anyway, there wasn't much to do on Earth, so this was just a way to pass the time.
"Thank you, base commander."
Commander Wu waved his hand. "No need to be so polite."
Seeing that everything was alright, Ye Yunxi spoke to Base Chief Wu.
"Base Commander, since there's nothing else, we'll head back now. We'll leave the Seventh Base to Base Commander Wu."
"Alright, you can go back now. I'll handle things at the Seventh Base. As for Minyu's materials, I'll have someone talk to Elder He and have you specialize in smoke bombs."
Minyu nodded, bid farewell to the base chief and Li Yan, and then went home with Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng.
When the group got home, they found it was still early, around 3 p.m.
Ye Yunxi and the others rested in the living room for a while. She thought about what Liu Xiaoqing had just said and frowned.
Seeing her appearance, Fu Heng asked her with concern.
"Xixi, what's wrong?"
"I was just thinking about what Liu Xiaoqing said earlier, and I was wondering who she was talking about."
Fu Heng didn't respond, also wondering who Liu Xiaoqing was talking about.
Then, as if they had thought of something, the two looked at each other and said their names together.
"Yanluo!"
"Yes, it's Yanluo. Only he would want us dead. He's using Liu Xiaoqing to get rid of us."
Ye Yunxi thought for a moment. "Then where did Yan Luo escape to?"
Minyu continued, "It's a pity. Our instruments can't see where Yanluo is. He can also hide his location so that others can't find him."
Fu Heng replied, "It's alright, we'll just wait for him here. As long as he dares to come, we won't let him escape like last time."
They chatted for a while, and around six o'clock, Ye Yunxi took out her food and started eating.
After finishing their meal and quickly washing up, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
For several days in a row, nothing happened at the base. The people Liu Xiaoqing brought were arrested by Li Yan and interrogated every day.
At first, they were all stubborn and didn't say anything.
Later, Li Yan directly ordered his men to torture them.
Finally, they all couldn't take it anymore and told the truth.
One of Liu Xiaoqing's subordinates said to Li Yan.
"We all follow orders. Originally, our leader was wary of the First Base and was hesitant about how to lure people out."
But one day the leader said he was coming to the First Base to demand people directly, so he organized us brothers and the families of our deceased sons to come and demand them.
We were wondering why our boss had suddenly changed his ways, but one of my brothers told me that one night he passed by our boss's room and heard a woman's voice inside. He thought it was our boss's woman.
He was about to leave, but then he heard the woman say that she could help our boss deal with Ye Yunxi and her group. She also mentioned Lord Yanluo, and later, he only heard the boss call the woman Lord Li. He was about to listen further when he heard the boss order someone to gather men, so he ran back and told me what he had overheard.
Li Yan didn't know who Yan Luo and Lord Li were, but he could bring this news to Ye Yunxi and the others.
"So what's next?"
"Next, our boss had us practice shooting skills in private. We all knew how to use guns, but we weren't very proficient. Then we came to the First Base, and you all know what happened next."
Lord Li, I've told you everything you asked me to confess. Please spare me!
Li Yan did not answer the man's question. He ordered his men to take him away, ignoring the pleas for mercy behind him, and headed towards Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng's residence.
Ye Yunxi has learned in the past two days that the Seventh Base Commander will not cause them any trouble over this matter. He even wants to thank Ye Yunxi and the others for eliminating Liu Xiaoqing for him.
They said that although Liu Xiaoqing was only a high-ranking official, many of his subordinates in the base were his people and only obeyed his orders. If he hadn't been eliminated, the Seventh Base would probably have had a new base leader soon.
They even said that if Ye Yunxi and the others came to the Seventh Base, they would definitely treat them well.
The base is in chaos right now, and he wants to take this opportunity to seize power.
When Ye Yunxi and the others heard this news, they weren't particularly happy. Even if it meant making all the bases their enemies, she wasn't afraid.
Before long, Li Yan came to visit in person.
Ye Yunxi went out, opened the door, and let Li Yan in to sit for a while.
Li Yan walked in, sat on the sofa, and spoke seriously to Ye Yunxi.
“Yunxi, I learned from those people that the reason Liu Xiaoqing came to the base to cause trouble for you is because of a man named Yanluo, and a woman whom Liu Xiaoqing calls Master Li, who is the instigator of all this.”
Ye Yunxi heard what Li Yan said. She knew Yan Luo, but when she heard that Lord Li was a woman, she was surprised.
Her heart skipped a beat; her intuition told her that this Lord Li was Li Xin.
Li Xin didn't die. It turns out that the body from back then wasn't there; Yan Luo took it away to use against us.
She looked at Li Yan; it was time to tell him something.
"Captain Li, I know Yanluo, the two people you just mentioned. I think Lord Li is a friend of mine from the past."
Now it's time to tell you some things you don't know. That way, even if they come later, you'll be more prepared.
Then Ye Yunxi told Li Yan about Yanluo and Li Xin.
She also told him about Yanluo's abduction of Shen Nuoyang.
Upon hearing Ye Yunxi's words, Li Yan's expression shifted from shock to delight, and then to anger.
He said angrily, "So all those troubles were caused by this Yanluo. The previous snake plague, insect plague, and rat plague were all his doing."
No wonder you found Shen Nuoyang; he's in your hands. And this man you injured, do you know where he escaped to?
