Duan Qingxi was stunned. He didn't expect that the two people could remain so calm in the face of such hatred.
He is worthy of being the person Qin Yong values and values. Such a broad mind and patience are incomparable to ordinary people!
The meeting between the village chief and Liu Song went so smoothly that both Helian Sheng and Duan Qingxi were surprised.
Moreover, he agreed to their requests very readily.
Perhaps because they had a common enemy, the village chief became more friendly and respectful to Helian Sheng and Duan Qingxi, and even obeyed their orders.
When the village chief left Helian Sheng's room, Duan Qingxi followed him.
She called out to the village chief, then asked in confusion, "Village chief, I want to know...why didn't you suspect anything?"
The village chief asked, "What do you doubt?"
Duan Qingxi hesitated for a moment before saying, "You suspect we are acting to deceive you."
Hearing this, the village chief was stunned, as if he couldn't react.
After a while, he smiled helplessly and said, "Actually, I've had my suspicions for a long time."
"ah?"
As if recalling the past, the village chief narrowed his eyes and said, "Back then, I did something that really offended Qin Yong. I didn't realize it at the time, but now that I think about it carefully, I finally understand. If it was him who wiped out my entire family, I wouldn't be surprised."
"Furthermore, five years ago, I was on the run, and people were always hunting me. But it wasn't until two years ago when I met Qin Yong and, with his help, became a bandit in this area, that these killers suddenly disappeared. Doesn't this explain something?"
"The funny thing is, I didn't react at all at the time, and I even hoped that Qin Yong would help me find the murderer. I guess he had a reason for letting me become a bandit. If one day I became useless, maybe he could lead his troops to capture me and... earn a lot of credit."
The village chief smiled bitterly. Although Duan Qingxi sympathized with him, he also felt that this was everyone's fate.
But she was finally sure that the village chief had no second thoughts about them, because she could sense his emotional fluctuations and there was nothing abnormal.
…
Next, the village chief naturally acted according to Helian Sheng's instructions.
Helian Sheng asked Liu Song to stay in the mountain stronghold, and then the stronghold leader told the man in black robe that he had successfully rescued Liu Song.
However, because of this incident, more than half of their brothers in the village were killed.
Just when the man in black robe rushed back to take Liu Song away, the officers and soldiers also got the news and led their men to attack the stronghold.
The once impregnable stronghold was now easily conquered.
Even when all the officers and soldiers surrounded the man in black robe, he was still unable to react.
He gritted his teeth and asked the secret guards around him to take Liu Song away first, while he stayed behind to deal with these officers and soldiers.
Liu Song had known that he would make such a decision, but he did so not because he wanted to help him, but because he knew some secrets that Qin Yong wanted to know.
The village chief, the second in command, the third in command, the fourth in command, and some of the remaining brothers all followed the man in black robes.
The brothers who were left behind were actually carefully selected by the village chief. Most of them were undercover agents left by the man in black robe, and some of them had uncertain identities.
According to the plan of Helian Sheng and the village chief, they first sent down the mountain some of the bandits who were loyal to the village chief, as well as the elderly, weak, women and children, and then created the appearance that the village had been massacred by officers and soldiers.
Because the incident happened suddenly, the man in black robe did not even notice anything unusual.
