In that case, that's perfect. I can listen to their conversation tomorrow to learn more relevant information so that I can understand and confirm whether Mr. Lan and the forces behind him have the goals I think.

Just as we were getting ready to rest and go to bed, we suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings. The sound was extremely familiar, it was the sound of flying ants. Generally speaking, Yunwen was the only one who used flying ants to send messages. I immediately got down to the ground, wrapped my private parts with clothes, opened the doors and windows, and saw that the flying ant was holding a piece of bark in its hand. I reached out to take it away, and the flying ant remained hanging in the air.

On the bark was Yunwen's beautiful and neat handwriting, written with a charcoal pen: "The Rat King said that he plans to meet me alone tomorrow. He will give us a place in the Taoyuan Mountain area. Do you want to go? Yunwen stays."

I found a carved and wrapped charcoal pencil from Song Bailu and left four words on the bark: "Wait for me to come back."

Then let the flying ants send it back.

It's really strange. Why did the Rat King, who had never replied to my letter, reply now? And it happened when Mr. Lan was caught by me. What's the reason? Is there any inevitable connection between the two? In short, I have a feeling that the captain seems to be manipulating the chess game, and the Rat King is one of the chess pieces.

After replying the letter, I was also tired. I had been torturing and training myself in the dungeon these days. It was a rare day when I could sleep in the land of peace and have a good rest. So I stopped tossing and turning, said a few words to Bai Lu, told her about the current situation, and then fell asleep.

What I didn't notice was that there was a certain fragrance in the room. I heard from Bailu that it was a kind of incense she mixed. It smelled fresh and elegant, and had the effect of helping sleep. I rarely stay here to rest. I usually stay for a whole day and rush back after dinner. This time was special, so I stayed a little longer. Unexpectedly, I gained something different.

I slept very soundly, but was awakened by some noise in the early morning. I woke up yawning, and heard someone knocking on the door outside the village. It seemed that Mr. Lan thought I had left, so he specially controlled the time to persuade Song Bailu again, hoping to win her over to the so-called captain's forces. He also deliberately used this more ambiguous way of pursuit, which was the most cost-effective method.

I thought he might not come, but I didn't expect that he would come, and he would come so early, and he looked a little impatient.

If I hadn't received the letter from Yunwen yesterday, I might have followed the routine and thought that the captain was simply trying to win over other forces. But now I think that the Rat King on the other side suddenly arranged for Yunwen to attend the meeting, and this side took action very early. If all of this was arranged by him, then his purpose is obviously not simple.

This move may not be a test, but a checkmate...

Anyway, let's hear what Mr. Lan has to say.

Song Bailu was also awakened by the noise, her eyes dazed, but she immediately woke up and realized that the person coming was Mr. Lan. Judging from her behavior, this was probably the first time that Mr. Lan came to bother her so early in the morning.

Then we got up quickly and put on our clothes, but such a hurried look always made me feel weird, as if we were caught in an affair, otherwise why would we be in such a hurry?

"The Quinks don't let strangers in. I'll go out and talk to them later. You just listen near the door. That way you can hear the information you want to hear. After that, I'll send them away and we'll come back to make breakfast." she said.

"Okay," I said.

Then, I hastily washed my face with water from the canal and rinsed my mouth with scented tea. She did the same. We rushed to the door, where the Kunk people were on high alert. Song Bailu made a few gestures and they went back to rest.

"Mr. Lan, why are you here so early?" Song Bailu asked.

"Miss Song, our captain sent a message, asking you to come to our place. He has something to give you in person." Mr. Lan said outside the door.

Song Bailu opened the door, gestured to me, asking me to stay here, and then she went out to talk to Mr. Lan. I felt that what Mr. Lan said was not a good thing. Song Bailu was my man, and he was going to call him away just because he said the captain had sent a message. What a joke.

But now is not the time to be angry. We should get more information as soon as possible.

As soon as I went out, I clearly heard Song Bailu seemed to make a strange sound, as if she was a little surprised. This made me even more uneasy. Could there be any other changes?

After some pleasantries, Mr. Lan said, "Miss Song, I have to tell you something unpleasant. I never thought that savage-like guy would be your so-called significant other. His appearance is not even close to that of our captain. I believe you will know what I said when you come to our place."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lan, I think I told you very clearly yesterday that we only have a cooperative relationship, and I also plan to no longer consider meeting you alone from today on. If you have any needs, you can find the person in our family to discuss it with you in detail. Therefore, I will not agree to go with you to meet the captain alone." Bai Lu said.

"Hehe, Miss Song, the man you are talking about is not here, so why do you have to do this? Besides, even if he is here, as long as you nod, I can still let you do what you want to do smoothly. Don't be scared by him. I tell you, such a savage is only scary on the surface, but he is actually a paper tiger. Don't be afraid of him, and don't believe what he says. Come with me to see the captain. He really wants to see you now." Mr. Lan said.

"Why does he want to see me?" Song Bailu asked.

This is exactly what I want to hear now. What exactly does this captain want to do? What is the purpose of this move?

"You'll know when you go there," he said.

"If you don't tell me, I won't go." Song Bailu said.

"Then I said, you have to come with me."

"You tell me first, I'll think about it..."

"Well, in fact, besides wanting to see your beauty, our captain also knows that you are a tribal high priest who knows some witchcraft. Therefore, he would like to ask you for help in some matters. But don't worry, the reward will not be small. Moreover, no matter how many good words I say, it is not as good as you seeing our captain with your own eyes and considering the issue of our marriage. These are the two things. Come on, I have told you, and now you should fulfill your promise." He said.

Witchcraft? Help?

Could it be that the purpose of inviting Song Bailu to that area is related to this? In addition, they also want to keep her for a long time in this way. What is the purpose of this?

Just as I was wondering, I suddenly heard Song Bailu calling out loudly: "Brother Zhou Bo, come and help me!"

When I heard that, I rushed out quickly, but saw that Mr. Lan was turning his head to look at me, and the one who was controlling Song Bailu was not the thin man, but another man. This man was of medium build, but with a body full of tendons and a half-mask. His eyes had no black eyes but a blurry transparent color, like a lump of paste. I remembered that Song Bailu groaned when he went out just now, and it must be because he saw the masked man.

She didn't expect that Mr. Lan had specially found a helper.

And from today's conversation and approach, the captain wanted to take Song Bailu away by any means, soft or hard. Fortunately, I stayed for one more day, so that I could see this scene and save the situation, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Wow, your savage friend is still here. It seems that you, Miss Song, are not particular." Mr. Lan said.

At the same time, the masked man grabbed Song Bailu's hair tightly and pressed it down. Song Bailu was under the force and had to kneel down because of the pain. The two men laughed shamefully. The masked man also raised his middle finger at me. His ugly half face showed endless contempt, and then he continued to laugh strangely.

"Put him down." I said.

The masked man took a step back, made a funny face, pretending to be scared, then suddenly loosened and pressed Song Bailu's hair, and Bailu's whole face suddenly pressed to the ground with a muffled sound.

Then he assumed an innocent air, like a comedian, with his eyes wide open, his body huddled, and his expression exaggeratedly startled.

I clenched my fists and stared at the guy, and at the same time, he suddenly stood up straight, pointed at the embarrassed Song Bailu on the ground, and hooked his finger at me.
