After the Dagons evacuated, Su Wen suddenly remembered something and asked quickly: "Do you know a man named Yang Kang?"
"This... of course we know each other."
Wu Sanfan walked to Su Wen panting and holding a big knife, thanking Su Wen profusely. Seeing that Su Wen suddenly asked about someone else, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Not very familiar..."
Liu Chang in the fence also echoed: "This man is a broker...Does the benefactor want to find something through him?"
"Although our brothers are of low ability, we have been hanging out in Guixu for many years and have collected a lot of worthless things. If your grace is useful, we can give it to you without looking for that birdman!"
Shen Jing, half of his body leaning on the fence, said feebly: "This is the right thing to do. Don't refuse it!"
"yes!"
"that is!"
Wu Sanfan and Liu Chang nodded repeatedly.
"Where is this?"
Su Wen waved his hand and said: "This person has an ulterior deal with the Dagon tribe. Just a few hours ago, I overheard his secret conversation with the leader of the Dagon tribe, saying that he wanted the Dagon tribe to help hunt down a man. The expedition team that arrived at Sunken Bay is not talking about you, right?"
Hearing this, the expressions of Wu Sanfan and others suddenly froze.
Su Wen also noticed that Wu Sanfan gave Liu Chang a cold look.
"No way?!"
Liu Chang was shocked: "Yang Kang can't be so crazy!"
"hehe……"
Wu Sanfan sneered: "You mean, what my benefactor said is not true?"
"...It's so good, what are you making a fuss about?"
Su Wen was confused.
"Is such that……"
Seeing that Wu Sanfan looked strange, Liu Chang took a deep breath and said to Su Wen: "It was Yang Kang who commissioned us to explore Sunken Hun Bay."
Wu Sanfan sneered: "I felt that he was not well-intentioned at the time, so I rejected him, but Liu Chang was greedy for the huge profits, took the benefits, and tricked everyone!"
"I, I didn't expect it either..."
Liu Chang said with a pale face: "We have done business with him in the past, but nothing happened..."
"Is it possible that he has been impersonated?"
Su Wen thought for a while and then asked the question.
"Uh...how is this possible?!"
Liu Chang said in surprise: "Who can impersonate him like that... Besides, Yang Kang is such a small-minded person. If you pretend to be him and cheat, the consequences will definitely be disastrous."
Su Wen looked at the three of them and said slowly: "What if Yang Kang really dies?"
"Ah...this?!"
This time not only Liu Chang, but also Wu Sanfan and Shen Jing were shocked.
The three of them all felt unbelievable. Although Yang Kang was sly and sneaky, he was still a high-sequence extraordinary person. What's more, Yang Kang was most proficient in life-saving methods. Perhaps against a high-sequence extraordinary person, Yang Kang could not beat anyone. , but whoever wants to kill him will find it equally difficult to do so.
"Is such that……"
Su Wen leaned against the fence, sat down and told what he saw and heard beside the underground river. After hearing the news, the three of them found it difficult to accept.
"Killed by Dagon...this is impossible..."
Wu Sanfan shook his head repeatedly: "If there is a Dagon nearby who can kill Yang Kang, how can our brothers dare to commit suicide in this area?"
"that is……"
"Is this the case..."
Shen Jing echoed: "I heard that Yang Kang was cautious by nature, and he also raised a few substitutes to help him do things. It was actually his substitute who died?"
Su Wen shook his head.
Ren Zhengan inspected Yang Kang's bones and confirmed the identity of the deceased, so whether it was Yang Kang who died or not was no longer a question.
"But the time is not right either..."
Su Wen thought for a while and said: "Whether this Yang Kang is true or not, you should have been in Shenhun Bay for a while when he conspired with Dagon. It will take time for Dagon to withdraw from the underground river to this area. At least it is certain. His target is not you."
"indeed……"
Wu Sanfan nodded and said: "Our team was surrounded by Dagon three days ago. We were surrounded all the way, broke through, and finally went around in circles before we ran to this area."
"That's not necessarily true..."
Shen Jing answered the question and said, "What if he is looking for Dagon from more than one tribe?"
"That makes sense..."
Su Wen also nodded repeatedly. Although Ren Zhengan had given an explanation, he was not satisfied. He asked curiously: "Dagon is suspicious and cruel by nature. How could he listen to Yang Kang?"
Dagon is a large ethnic group in Guixu. However, the food in Guixu is relatively poor, so the Dagon ethnic group is often not too large. Large tribes may have more than 10,000 people living together, while small tribes often only have a few hundred people. When human extraordinary people enter Guixu In the past, there were constant wars between the large and small tribes of Dagon, competing for resources. At the same time, wars were used to reduce unnecessary populations, allowing the tribes to survive.
After the extraordinary ones entered Gui Ruins, the Dagons changed their past survival strategies, aimed their spearheads at humans, and opened their mouths of blood.
In the process of fighting against the extraordinary human race, Dagon did not take advantage at all, and its territory continued to shrink. Fortunately, all they lost were the parts of the tribe that explored and developed, and their foundation was not shaken.
Normally, extraordinary people would not take the initiative to attack Dagon. After all, there are not many parts of Dagon's body that can be used as extraordinary materials, and he is an oddball who lives in groups and is aggressive, so he generally does not do thankless things.
When necessary, Wenling Palace will organize a large army to sweep away Dagon's territory and drive him deeper into the Guixu Abyss.
After dealing with extraordinary beings for thousands of years, Dagon was also full of hatred for the human race.
So Su Wen felt strange. It would be reasonable if Yang Kang had some friendship with a Dagon tribe, but it was not easy to get different tribes to believe what he said. How did he win the trust of the entire Dagon tribe?
Liu Chang said tangledly: "It's hard to say... It's not just Dagon, but also other weird and indigenous people from Guixu. Many of them can understand human language and have some friendship with Yang Kang. Someone once saw him in Shen On the island in the depths of the Soul Sea, he was arm-in-arm with the long-tailed murloc."
"...This is nothing. In Kongming Valley, the fish-headed people enshrine Yang Kang's portrait. They will give him some tribute on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month." Shen exclaimed, and when he saw his companions, they didn't even come to help him. He had to use his remaining extraordinary power to seal the bleeding wound, and said with emotion: "Yang Kang has been in Guixu for too long. Some people say that he has stayed here for more than sixty years, and some people say that he has been here for more than sixty years. He has been here for hundreds of years, but no one can say for sure... As for Guixu, those who come here will either stay here for their lives, or they will have their feet oiled when the agreed time comes, and they will never come back again. I will never go to this ghost place again. Many past events will eventually become legends passed down by rumors..."
Su Wen hummed.
He deeply believed what Shen Jing said. As long as time went by, he would not be able to discern the truth of what was happening in the outside world, let alone in a place like Guixu.
The three of them talked to each other and talked about many things about Yang Kang.
This opened Su Wen's eyes.
He originally thought that Ren Zhengan, as an extraordinary historian, would pay more attention to the characters and events in Guixu, but what he didn't expect was that Ren Zhengan's understanding of Yang Kang's deeds was too superficial, less than one percent of the three people.
But this is normal. To Ren Zhengan, Yang Kang is just a broker wandering in the gray area of Guixu, and there is nothing worthy of attention.
But for people like Wu Sanfan who need to have hands and feet to bring them special supplies, Yang Kang is like a timely presence and cannot be ignored. Among the people who deal with him on a daily basis, there are many people who interact with Yang Kang. Through word of mouth, we learned many legends about Yang Kang.
Almost everyone knows that Yang Kang has a mysterious connection with the Guixu natives, but those who know this relationship basically know that Yang Kang also has a good relationship with Wenling Palace, and he is a character who can get along with both black and white.
"It's a pity...such a person died inexplicably, and was even faked..."
At the end of the story, Shen Jing felt a little bit regretful.
"If you feel sorry, just go down and find him!"
Wu Sanfan's voice was filled with displeasure: "We have seven brothers, but four of them were broken in his hands! If it weren't for my benefactor... By the way, my benefactor, I haven't asked you your name yet. Please enlighten me." , after returning to the fortress, the brothers will set up a sign for you, and burn a stick of incense sooner or later... A good man will have a safe life!"
"No need, no need..."
When Su Wen heard that Wu Sanfan wanted to burn incense for him in the morning and evening, he felt unlucky and quickly waved his hand to decline the kindness: "My name is Su Wen... Please don't call me my benefactor. When we see injustice on the road, it is our duty to draw our swords to help." He didn't. He was willing to listen to the polite words of the three people, so he changed the subject and asked about Wu Sanfan's purpose of coming to Shenhun Bay. He was not trying to pry into people's privacy, but wanted to use this incident to infer the purpose of fake Yang Kang's behavior.
After collecting so much information about Yang Kang, Su Wen always felt that there were too many contradictions in the behavior of the fake Yang Kang.
Su Wen felt that people who had been around Guixu for so many years would not be so shallow.
At least he won't be interested in the taboo objects on his body. Even if there are, he won't be able to personally talk to the Dagons and ask the Dagons to help him seize them.
It is also impossible to show too strong hatred for Ren Zhengan. Business people can only make money by being friendly.
The real Yang Kang is like this, even if the person pretending to be him doesn't have this magnanimity, he still has to imitate it. Without this diamond, how can he dare to take the porcelain job?
"Then the face I saw... was not his real face, but the one he deliberately pretended to be in front of Dagon..."
Su Wen sighed.
Dagon has a simple mind and can't accept too much information. The fake Yang Kang may have followed Yang Kang's image of Dagon, which is why Dagon fell in love with him.
It's just that when the fake Yang Kang was performing, Su Wen happened to see it on the sidelines and took his performance as his real image.
"Who are these people?"
At this time, a slightly impatient voice sounded next to Su Wen.
"Old Ren?!"
Su Wen turned around and saw Ren Zhengan looking at him with an unhappy expression.
"Come back so soon?"
Su Wen said in surprise. It was only then that he realized that Brother Ren had become Old Ren, which was so embarrassing.
"Mr. Ren!"
But when Wu Sanfan and others saw Ren Zhengan, their legs felt weak. Especially when they saw Ren Zhengan holding a huge Dagon head in his hand, their legs shook even more.
