Gong Ming held his head and said, "This is impossible."
"I wonder how many people there are in the Gong clan?" Subo asked.
"There are now a total of seventy-nine people." Gong Yang said: "Having removed the two tribesmen who died before, the number of eighty-one people has been reduced to seventy-nine. Among them, the elderly, women, and children account for nearly half. Usually the elderly are
The weak women and children live elsewhere, and only the young and middle-aged people are active outside, a total of thirty-six people."
"These thirty-six people are very familiar with each other. It is impossible for a stranger to sneak in." Gong Ming said: "If this is the case, doesn't it mean that there is a spy within our Gong family?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Cui Ying said, "Don't forget that Gongshan's case has happened before."
When Gong Shan was mentioned, Gong Ming and Gong Yang looked sad and couldn't say a word. Su Bai secretly pinched Cui Ying. This overseas sect really didn't understand the world, so why did he keep exposing others' shortcomings? Cui Ying leaned
Looking at Su Bai, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. He just said something, and Sub Bai coughed: "Actually, there is another possibility, that is, someone
Disguise has slipped into your midst. Don’t look at me like that. Disguise is simply a kind of makeup. Among the people we know, there are people who can do it. Your life is actually very monotonous. Personality
Well, it’s not too outstanding. It’s actually very simple to sneak in. Also, Gong Yan would say this, so he must have discovered something.”
"It's true that the clan leader knows everyone very well. If something strange happens, he should be aware of it." Gong Yang became increasingly frustrated: "No, we have to go back."
Gong Ming also nodded: "That's right."
"Gong Ming has just had surgery and his condition has just stabilized. Can he bear the long journey?" Yingning asked worriedly.
"Brother Gong Ming, please stay, I will rush back." Gong Yang said, "I have lost two brothers, and I can no longer watch anything happen to you."
"No, you are young and have not experienced the world. It is more appropriate for me to go back." Gong Ming frowned and said, "This snake poison is very powerful and will cost you your life."
"It's still me..."
"Are you two acting in a passionate drama?" Subo touched his nose: "In my opinion, it would be best for you all to stay. At least there are two fewer suspects. Thirty-six are now thirty-four.
Please don’t go back and cause trouble.”
"Su Bai makes sense." Cui Ying said, "You just stay here alive. The most important thing is to recover from your injuries first."
Gong Ming's complexion was sallow. Although he was no longer rigid, the surgery and the risk of turning into a zombie made the young man suffer. His current physical condition is extremely poor, and his legs wobble when he walks. Yue Qing is just in case.
, they prepared special medicines and asked him to take two pills a day to prevent him from becoming rigid again. Judging from the past two days, there was no sign of complications at all, and Yue Qing was completely relieved.
Gong Ming sighed: "There is trouble within the clan, but we can only stay here. I am really unwilling."
Gong Yang's eyes were red. Seeing these two people looking like this, the others also fell into silence. Yue Qing's cell phone rang. When he saw the number on it, Yue Qing was a little surprised and quickly picked it up: "Hey,
Gongyan.”
Hearing that the call was from Gong Yan, everyone looked at Yue Qing's expression with concern, but Yue Qing's expression was very strange, because there was only a strange "whirring" sound on the other end of the phone, like a wheezing sound, accompanied by heavy breathing.
There was a sound of footsteps at the other end. Yue Qing glanced at the others, waved his hands to everyone to be quiet, and then asked softly: "Gong Yan, are you okay?"
The footsteps on the other end of the phone stopped, and Yue Qing's heart seemed to have stopped. He felt that if he asked one more question, Gong Yan's life might be ruined. Yue Qing squeezed the phone tightly and swallowed hard.
saliva……
A rustling sound came, like the sound of gurgling sand. Yue Qing wished he could open his ears wider and listen more to the movement on the other side. He pressed his ears tightly against the receiver and heard a beating on the other side.
There was a sound of pain and endurance. Yue Qing felt that the beating sound was like the other party deliberately letting himself go.
He had heard it, because when his heart was pounding, there was a "bang" sound, and the call was immediately interrupted. Listening to the repeated prompts on the phone, Yue Qing's face sank: "Gong Yan may have something."
Danger, you two, if Gong Yan goes back, where will he go? He said before that he would arrange for his clan members to be in a more private place."
Gong Ming said: "I know that place, you go there quickly, Gong Yang will show you the way."
"Can you stay here alone?" Gong Yang was still hesitant.
"Stop talking nonsense, you go quickly!" Gong Ming said: "Yulinchi, do you know that place? The patriarch said that there is a specially set up shelter. In this situation, you will definitely go there."
Gong Yang gritted his teeth: "Okay, brother Gong Ming, take good care of yourself. Everyone, let's leave now."
The so-called Yulinchi is the name Gong gave to that place. It cannot be found on the map, so Gong Yang must lead the way. Gong Yang has been to that place twice, but he doesn’t know how to get there from the imperial capital.
This also delayed a lot of time. After finally confirming the basic route, several people hurriedly prepared their luggage, borrowed a car from an antique shop, and set off. After the car started, Subo said strangely: "Strange, always
I feel like something is missing today."
No one paid attention to him. Gong Yang, who was sitting next to Su Bai, seemed restless. He looked out the window from time to time, and his hands kept twisting and loosening, and twisting together again. Ying Ning saw that he looked really pitiful, so she comforted him softly.
Said: "Don't worry."
"This is not like the style of the clan leader. Brother Gong Yan was a little reckless before he became the clan leader, but he has become much calmer these days. This is definitely not a prank." Gong Yang said: "This is asking for help, but he doesn't dare.
He must have spoken out because he was worried that someone would do something bad to him. Just now Yue Qing heard someone being whipped, so he must be suffering now."
Yue Qing said: "You are right. Gong Yan wanted us to hear what was going on over there, but he didn't speak loudly and call for help. He must have done it to protect himself. This was the right thing to do, and the other party didn't kill him, so he must have
I think he still has value, so don't worry too much, Gong Yan is safe for the time being."
Gong Yang said innocently: "I hope so. When can we arrive?"
Su Bai said: "It takes at least seven hours to get to Yulinchi from here."
Gong Yang was anxious: "So long?"
"There is no other way. The place is remote and can only be reached by car." Yue Qing said, "Let's hurry up and reach the destination in the middle of the night."
It was night, and the car was bumping along the gravel road. Everyone was exhausted. Yue Qing's mobile phone had been charged with the car charger. He was waiting, waiting for the ringtone of his mobile phone to ring. It was dark outside, and the car's headlights were shining in front of him.
The fog filled the light, and the front immediately became unpredictable. It was at this moment that the phone rang. Cui Ying, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at it and felt a little disappointed: "It's Bai Moxuan."
Su Bai suddenly realized: "No wonder something is missing today. We were in a hurry to go out and didn't notify Bai Moxuan!"
Cui Ying stuck out her tongue before answering the phone: "Hello, is this Bai Moxuan?"
Bai Moxuan's voice was particularly cold: "Where have you gone?"
"It's a long story. Something happened to Gong. Gong Yan may be in danger. We're on our way there." Cui Ying said, "It happened suddenly. I forgot to inform you. Bai Moxuan, don't you?"
Are you going to be angry?"
There was no reply from the other end of the phone, so Cui Ying called out: "Hello, Bai Moxuan?"
The call was hung up harshly, and Cui Ying shrugged helplessly: "She seems to be angry."
This was a typical Bai Moxuan expression. Su Bai said: "Isn't it just right that he didn't come? You can keep an eye on Gong Ming, what if there is a possibility of becoming rigid again?"
This reminded Yue Qing: "That's right, Cui Ying, send a text message. I don't think he wants to answer the phone now."
Bai Moxuan was indeed very angry. This group of people actually left him and acted alone! Xiaobai lay on Bai Moxuan's lap: "Handsome patriarch, why are you frowning?"
"Because I'm angry." Bai Moxuan touched Xiaobai's head: "When you come here, there is one thing you must learn."
"What is it?"
"You need to be careful when making friends." Bai Moxuan said in a deep voice: "Don't associate with unreliable people, let alone be friends. Otherwise, you will lose many years of your life."
"How many years will the handsome patriarch live less?" Xiaobai said, holding his cheek: "Has the handsome patriarch met an unreliable person?"
"Because I met four unreliable guys, at least four hundred years ago." Bai Moxuan said angrily: "Do you remember what I said?"
Xiaobai's eyes seemed to be filled with stars: "Remember, I will definitely make good friends in the future."
Bai Moxuan sighed: "You are still the best at the critical moment."
The text message alert sounded, and Bai Moxuan took it out and saw that it was a long text message. At first, Bai Moxuan was still frowning, but later, he slightly twitched the corner of his mouth: "At least it counts as my share, for now.
Spare you."
However, Bai Moxuan had no intention of replying to the text message. After understanding it, he put the phone away...
Cui Ying saw that there was no reply to the text message, so she couldn't help but said: "This Bai Moxuan!"
"He won't reply even if he sees it." Suber said: "That guy is very arrogant, but if he sees it, he will definitely not ignore it, so don't worry."
Cui Ying put down her phone, and Yue Qing stared ahead with all his concentration. The so-called Yulin Pond was coming soon. In the middle of the night, under the illumination of the car lights, you could vaguely see the mountains like a curtain in front of you. Gong Yang said:
"Every time the sun rises, the moment the sun first comes out, the mountains here will turn into the color of jade, like jade color dripping down, so our ancestors named it Yulinchi."
"Yulinchi must have a pool. Where is the pool?" Subai asked.
"The pool is where the clan members stay. If you drive forward, you will see that there is a big pit in front of you, and that is the pool." Gong Yang said, "The jade color is dripping down, and it seems to fall right into the pool.
, there is a secret passage down there, which leads to the mountains, and there is our secret base there, which is used as a shelter in times of crisis."
Seeing that they were about to reach their destination, the car stalled here. After rushing forward a few times, it came to a complete stop. It could start, but the car could not move forward. Yue Qing let out a breath: "Damn it!"
