Dongfang Tong had a baby face, but his eyes were wide with anger at this moment. No one would doubt that this man who was always smiling would immediately draw a knife and kill someone.
But when he touched Cheng Dalei's gaze, he suddenly stopped. Cheng Dalei's gaze was too calm, and he leaned against the stone, but it gave people a condescending feeling. This feeling made Dongfang Tong feel that if he dared
If you attack Cheng Dalei, you will definitely die.
He forced a smile: "No need, we can handle it ourselves."
"If you need help, be sure to speak. I am a very helpful person."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
Dongfang Tong said hypocritically, and several people started to light torches and walked out of the cave. Fortunately, the rain was much lighter now, otherwise if they went out with torches, they would be wiped out by the rain immediately.
The originally crowded cave became empty now. Little White Wolf and Cheng Dalei looked at each other, both of them confused.
"What do they do?" Little White Wolf couldn't help but ask.
Cheng Dalei spread his hands: "How do I know that these people look a little weird."
Cheng Dalei scratched his head and couldn't figure out why Dongfangtong and his party valued this woman so much. However, it was raining in the middle of the night, so it might not be easy for Dongfangtong to find the woman in black.
Although Cheng Dalei was a little curious, he would not ask the question. It would be better for Dongfang Tong to leave. He could stay more spacious and set off at dawn tomorrow to continue on his way.
A long time passed, and the rain outside the cave had not stopped, but footsteps suddenly sounded. The woman in black actually left and came back. After running into the cave, she knelt down directly to Cheng Dalei and said: "My benefactor, save me."
She had been caught in the rain, and the clothes clung to her body, making this woman's curvy figure look flattering. And because of the cold weather and rain, her delicate body was trembling slightly.
Such a woman was kneeling in front of Cheng Dalei. Cheng Dalei was not a man who could sit back and relax. He quickly reached out to help her and said: "Please get up quickly, quickly..."
The little white wolf coughed lightly and stopped in front of Cheng Dalei. She put out the short knife she carried with her, raised her eyebrows and said: "What's the origin? Tell the truth quickly. Don't force my aunt to talk to you with a knife."
The woman in black raised her head, looked at Cheng Dalei pitifully, and said, "May I ask if it's Mr. Cheng, the Toad King?"
At this time, not to mention the little white wolf, Cheng Dalei was also shocked. He held the sword in his hand and said, "Who are you?"
Cheng Dalei was careful not to meet anyone along the way. If his identity was discovered, it would definitely not be a good thing for Cheng Dalei.
The woman shook her head and said: "Don't be surprised, Master Cheng. The villain's name is Zhou Tao, and he is from Chang'an, Beijing. I heard that Master Cheng used the pseudonym Niu Sanjin to cause great trouble in Chang'an City. Mr. Cheng is so heroic and tall and beautiful."
How many men can there be in the world, so a villain can recognize Master Cheng at a glance."
"Uh...hahaha." Cheng Dalei held his chin and couldn't help laughing. Look, there are still smart people in this world.
"Girl, don't panic, get up and talk quickly."
"If Mr. Cheng refuses to save me, I don't dare to get up."
"This...what happened to you?"
Zhou Tao stopped talking and sighed softly: "That Dongfang Tong is not a drug dealer, but a big thief in Jingzhou who commits murder and arson. The villain is the concubine of Lu Changtuo, the guard of Changfeng Pass.
They captured the villain just to blackmail Changfeng Pass."
Changfeng Pass is located in Jingzhou, at the border of the empire and the grassland, and is not far from here. Although Cheng Dalei has never met Lu Changyou, he still knows the situation nearby.
"Look..." Cheng Dalei sighed and said, "Girl, please get up quickly. I will take care of this matter. As long as I am here, no one can hurt the girl."
Little White Wolf snorted coldly, feeling very disdainful of Cheng Dalei in his heart. Who knew whether what this woman said was true or not, Cheng Dalei only listened to her side of the story, which was really a bit too reckless.
Besides, even if what she said is true, what does this matter have to do with us? Even if Dongfang Tong is a bad person, we are not good people either.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside, and Dongfangtong and his gang came back cursing.
Zhou Tao was startled and said: "Master Cheng, you must save me."
"Don't panic, just go to the back and hide."
There was a long and narrow secret passage behind the cave, which could not be seen clearly even in the dark of night. Almost as soon as Zhou Tao squeezed in, Dongfang Tong and his party entered the cave.
It was drizzling outside and it was hard to see anyone in the forest. Dongfang Tong walked around outside but couldn't find him. He had no choice but to go back to the cave first and wait until daybreak.
He bowed his hands in a big thunderous gesture, losing his previous enthusiasm. A group of people sat in a cave to warm themselves by the fire. Although they did not complain about Liu Kai, Liu Kai was so nervous that he broke into a cold sweat.
It was Cheng Dalei who took the initiative to greet them: "Didn't you find this...?"
One sentence opened Dongfang Tong's conversation: "That woman is really cunning. If I find her, I will kill her immediately and never let her escape from my hands again."
The little white wolf was more thoughtful and asked: "Who is that woman? Isn't she your companion?"
Dongfang Tong was startled, looked at each other with the people around him, and suddenly let out a long sigh.
"Let me tell you two, I am not a drug dealer, but a defender of Changfeng Pass, working under General Lu."
Huh.
Cheng Dalei and Little White Wolf opened their eyes wide at the same time, and things became weird. Little White Wolf asked: "Where is the woman?"
Dongfang Tong lowered his voice: "Have you ever heard of a ghost-faced old lady in the world?"
Little White Wolf was confused and was very unfamiliar with these four words. Cheng Dalei opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "She has returned to the world?"
Legend has it that this old lady with a grimace was proficient in the art of disguise and could change her makeup into a completely different person in an instant, hence the name grimace. At that time, she committed many major cases in Jingzhou, and many of her subordinates died.
When Young Master Cheng Dalei was in Chang'an, he also heard about the reputation of this senior.
"That thief woman is Granny Grimace." Dongfang Tong gritted his teeth and said.
"This... is unlikely." Cheng Dalei said in surprise: "The grimace granny became famous twenty years ago, and now she is still a lot of age even if she is not dead, but that woman..."
Dongfang Tong shook his head: "I can't say for sure. That Granny with a grimace is good at the art of disguise, and she has unpredictable skills. She may not be able to disguise herself as a young woman. It's also possible that this woman is the descendant of Granny with a grimace, her granddaughter.
I can’t say whether I’m an apprentice or something.”
Things have become complicated. Cheng Dalei doesn't know whether he should trust Dongfang Tong, but he must at least have some reservations about Zhou Tao. The most important thing is...
