"Ahead is Liangchengang." Zhou Di lowered the bamboo hat on his head and said in a deep voice.
Yi Xifeng and Li Xintian did not express any opinions. After all, this was the first time for them to participate in a task undertaken by strong men. As martial arts youths, he and Li Xintian practiced more physical fitness and skills. For this kind of team,
In cooperative combat, Zhou Di, as a strong man and captain, is obviously more professional.
At this moment, Yi Xifeng and Li Xintian were still wearing the black and white clothes they wore during the day when they participated in the competition. Zhou Di and Zhong Lingxi put on the coir raincoats and hats worn by standard strong men.
Zhong Lingxi frowned nicely, stared at the empty Liangchengang camp, and murmured: "There is indeed a problem!"
The fair boy was a little curious and asked in a low voice: "How did you tell?"
The beautiful Zhong Damei rolled her eyes at the other party and did not answer him. Yi Xifeng touched his nose angrily and thought to himself, just because I had a ring with you this afternoon, are you still angry now?
Zhou Di explained in a low voice: "It's too quiet. Liangchengang is the sentry post to the north of Yinren Village that connects to the outside area. There should be guards on duty at all times."
Li Xintian asked softly: "I heard that the mountain patrol team has the power to make arbitrary decisions when the situation arises. Could it be that there was some emergency and all the people here were transferred?"
"Absolutely impossible!" the beautiful girl replied softly while exploring the situation in the camp and observing the surroundings.
"Even if the mountain patrol team transfers everyone, they will send someone to inform the strong men to take charge, and this place will not be left unattended." Zhou Di then replied.
Before the young man holding the halberd could continue to explain, Zhong Lingxi interrupted him and said, "There should be no one left. Let's go into the camp and have a look."
Zhou Di immediately stopped him and said, "No! Judging from the current situation, all the guards at Liangchen Gang should have lost contact. The opponent was able to capture Liangchen Gang without any news. This is enough to show...
…”
"It is enough to show that their strength is not something that ordinary strong men in armor can handle." Li Xintian slowly raised his hand from the ground, gently flicked the dirt off his hand, and said coldly.
Zhou Di and Zhong Lingxi looked with some surprise at the little girl who followed Yi Xifeng all the way and didn't talk much.
The masked girl didn't pay attention to the gazes of the two people, but looked at Yi Xifeng. Her bright eyes could be seen through the dark mask, and the solemn look in the little girl's eyes could be seen. She nodded at the fair boy first, and then shook her head.
He shook his head.
Yi Xifeng said calmly: "Let's go in."
"Brother Yi, we..." Zhou Di wanted to say something else, but the fair boy said calmly: "There is no one inside, yes, there is no one alive..."
…
Soon the four of them sneaked into the camp at Liangchengang. Just as Yi Xifeng said, there were no traces of any enemies here. Even the empty grounds of the camp were piled with cloth left over from setting up the arena a few days ago.
Curtain and stakes.
After confirming that there was no one around the camp, the four of them split up to explore the camp. Half an hour later, they gathered again in the tent in the center of the camp.
"What's the gain?" Zhou Di asked first.
Zhong Lingxi shook his head, "It's very clean, there are no traces of fighting, not even a trace of blood!"
Yi Xifeng and Li Xintian also shook their heads, saying they didn't find anything.
"Have you investigated this camp?" the fair-skinned boy asked aloud.
Zhou Di nodded and replied: "Miss Zhong and I explored this place at the beginning, but found nothing..."
The beautiful girl also nodded in response.
The fair boy frowned and murmured: "There is no trace of fighting, and not even a trace of blood was found. It seems that our opponent is not only very powerful, but also a veteran in this industry!"
"But people can't disappear out of thin air! How about... how about we expand the search scope further?" Li Xintian suggested.
Zhong Lingxi shook his head slightly and said: "Based on past experience, this is where the incident occurred. We must have missed some clues, and there is little point in expanding the search."
Hearing what the beautiful girl said, the masked girl couldn't help but nodded. After all, Zhou Di and Zhong Lingxi were more experienced in dealing with this situation.
Yi Xifeng suggested, "In this case, let's search carefully again?"
Zhong Lingxi wanted to agree, but then she thought it was this annoying kid who suggested it, so she muttered: "Explore again? We are almost digging three feet!"
As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Li Xintian couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he said softly: "You can try this!"
I saw her kneeling on the ground with one knee, pressing one palm to the earth, slowly closing her eyes, and the inner energy of the earth flowed into the earth through the girl's bright wrist.
In just a moment, the masked girl stood up again, pointed to the back hall, and said in a cold voice: "In the back hall, it is three steps away from the back tent and one foot deep."
Zhou Di took a deep look at the masked girl in front of him. Originally, he was more concerned about Yi Xifeng's combat power during this operation, and he did not have high expectations for the girl following the mission. But the young man holding the halberd was unexpected.
What's more, this mysterious girl who likes to wear a mask has even more unique skills, so her help in this mission will be even greater!
"If I join the Iron Guard in the future, I hope to be on your team." Zhou Di said to the girl with a smile.
Li Xintian tilted his head and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou is so strong, of course Xifeng and I will be happy to have you here!"
When Zhong Lingxi heard the masked girl's words, she covered her forehead and muttered: "How old are you? Just cherish the wind and call out..."
Hearing this, the girl was inevitably a little shy. Fortunately, she was wearing a mask, but Yi Xifeng could still see the girl's shyness from the girl's red ears.
While I was secretly happy in my heart, I couldn't help but retort: "What's wrong with Xiao? What? You can only be the elder?"
When Zhong Lingxi saw this hateful kid provoking her again, she couldn't help but puff out her chest and shouted: "How big is that?"
Yi Xifeng secretly glanced at the bulging coir raincoat on the opponent's chest, bit his back teeth and said, "I'm getting older..."
Seeing the two of them bickering again, Li Xintian said helplessly: "Stop making trouble, we have something serious to do. Let's go to the back hall and have a look?"
…
Yinren Village, by the Chunfeng River.
"Mr. Shui understands what Mr. Xing means. Money matters are easy to talk about." Shui Yuntian paused and said, "This time I asked Mr. Xing to do the work. It was the intention of the county magistrate, and the information about Yinren Village was not provided by Mr. Shui.
"However, since Mr. Xing has completed the tasks entrusted to him by the county magistrate, does the county magistrate have any other instructions?" Shui Yuntian asked, squinting his eyes.
When Boss Xing heard Shui Yuntian's words, he couldn't help but think to himself: It seems that the internal fighting in Luoye County was not groundless. The man surnamed Ji only said that Liangchengang was the key to occupying Yinren Village, and then he contacted Mr. Shui and listened to his arrangements. But look.
In this posture, this person named Shui doesn't even know what we are here for. He just received orders to receive me and others. Hum, in that case, don't blame me, Lao Xing, for only taking money and not doing any work.
Thinking of this, Boss Xing laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Shui, you are too polite. Ji Junzai wants us to lay down Liangchengang, then guard it, and guard it until Ji Rentu's soldiers arrive. Of course, if in the process
If you encounter any trouble, just come to Mr. Shui." Mr. Xing said with a smile while stroking his bald head. He didn't mention anything about following Mr. Shui's orders. He only said that he would come to him if there was trouble.
Shui Yuntian squinted his eyes and said: "Haha, keep it? Keep it safe? Okay, okay, so when Boss Xing comes to Shui's place this time, he will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing?"
"It's nothing. It's just that the damage to Liangchengang this time is quite large. I don't want to come to Mr. Shui to ask for some supplies..." Mr. Xing laughed and said.
Baggage? Humph, bandits are bandits. No matter how powerful they are, those who cannot get on the stage will still not be able to get on the stage.
Mr. Shui waved his hand and said, "Come here, prepare ten jars of fine wine, a sheep, and ten chickens for Mr. Xing!" Naturally, someone outside agreed and hurried to prepare.
Boss Xing was quite happy when he heard this. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Now here is Mr. Laoshui. As for the money matter..." He raised his eyes and looked at the tall, thin middle-aged man.
Without waiting for Shui Yuntian's instructions, Hei Rushan, who was wearing a black mask, brought out a tray from the back hall, with a plate of silver ingots neatly stacked inside.
Shui Yuntian stood up, took the tray, and handed it to Boss Xing: "Master Xing, it's just a small gift, but I don't like it. Buy some new things for the brothers."
Looking at the tray in front of him, there was no less than a hundred taels of silver. Mr. Xing laughed from ear to ear, and hurriedly took it and said, "Thank you for Mr. Shui's kindness, then I, Old Xing, will not disturb Mr. Shui's rest!"
As he spoke, he winked at the four people behind him, bowed and left.
…
"Boss, this Mr. Shui is quite interesting! If I had known he was so easy to talk to, we should have given him something more." Xing Simu said with a grin.
The leader Xing Boss did not speak, while the second brother Xing Lin beside him said in a low voice: "Easy to talk to? Hum...the two masked warriors beside him are not ordinary people!"
Xing Lin paused for a moment and said uncertainly: "The two of them give me the feeling that they are very similar to the boss!"
The third child, Xingsen, who had been silent for a long time, also said: "Yes, he should be at the level of a great martial artist!"
"What? Great martial artist? Second brother, third brother, you two won't be injured and your brains will be confused, right? You two are at the peak of the realm of mang. Among us five brothers, only the boss is at the realm of great martial artist!" Xing
Shimu yelled.
Lao Wu Xing Lin Lin glanced at Xing Simu and muttered: "Lin Lin, don't make any noise! Didn't you see that the elder brother hasn't said anything?"
Xing Simu glared at Lao Wu Xing Linlin, gritted his teeth and said, "You called me Lin Lin too? I call you Fourth Brother!"
"Lin Lin, your second brother is right. Those two warriors wearing black and white masks are indeed similar in strength to me." The boss Xing Mu said in a deep voice. He paused and continued: "This is not what worries me the most.
Yes, even if those two people are similar in strength to me, the five of us brothers don’t need to be afraid of them. The only one I’m afraid of is Mr. Shui.”
"That tall, thin middle-aged man?!" Xing Simu said dumbfounded.
Xing Mu looked back at the direction of Chunfeng River solemnly and murmured: "It's unfathomable!"
Xing Simu stared blankly at the roast chicken in his hand and muttered: "I wanted to play with Mr. Shui and a few more girls..."
Boss Xing glanced at his brothers and said: "Put down everything in your hands and don't want any money. Return to Liangchengang immediately. Let's evacuate Yinren Village tonight!"
