621 - Azai's determination
Ji Thief stared at Ah Hu for a long time before he said, "Ah Hu, let me ask you, Mu Lian, are you dead?"
Ah Hu didn't know why Ji Thief suddenly asked this, so he nodded and said, "It's dead, I saw it with my own eyes." ”
Ji Thief frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"
Ah Hu said: "Yes, I saw her corpse with my own eyes. ”
Saying that, Ah Hu still didn't understand and asked Ji Thief: "Patriarch, what's wrong with you, why did you remember to ask this?"
Ji Thief shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that when I came back from hunting for the Qingfeng tribe to grab my tongue today, I heard the hairy monkey shouting Mulian's name." ”
Ah Hu opened his round eyes and said in shock: "What!! isn't Mulian dead?"
"That's why I'm going to check with you. ”
Seeing this, Kai hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's possible that I heard it wrong, or maybe that person happens to have the same name as Mulian, it's possible anyway." ”
Ji Thief stretched out his hand to stop Hunt's words: "No, this matter must be clarified, otherwise something big will happen." Mulian has been in our tribe for a while, and she knows some of our things. ”
After speaking, the thief looked at Ah Hu.
The latter raised his head with a serious expression: "Patriarch, according to what you said, I have remembered something. ”
Ji Thief hurriedly asked, "What?"
Ah Hu said: "At that time, when he was killing Mulian, Ah Zai said that he wanted someone to talk to Mulian, and when Ah Zai came down again, he came with Mulian's corpse, and at that time, the face of Mulian's corpse was full of wounds. ”
Ji Thief exclaimed: "So that corpse may not be Mulian!"
Ah Hu hesitated a little when he heard this, thought about it and shook his head: "I, I'm not sure, although the corpse is full of wounds on its face, but if you can see it, you can still recognize that it is from Mulian, but just now I said that there is a Mulian in the Qingfeng tribe, I think it's better to tell the patriarch about this matter." ”
Hearing this, the thief couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and couldn't help but walk back and forth in place.
Tushan looked at it and said, "Patriarch, if you call Ah Zheng over and ask, won't you know what's going on?"
"Yes, yes, call Ah Zai here and ask, Tushan, you go, remember not to alarm the others. ”
Tsuchiyama agreed, turned around and walked out again.
For a moment, Ah Zheng, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up from a dream, rubbed his hazy eyes, yawned and walked into the thief's residence.
When he came, before Ah Zai could open his mouth to greet Ji Thief, Ji Thief directly grabbed the conversation and asked him, "Ah Zai, did Mu Lian die in the first place?"
Just this sentence, Ah Zheng, who was still drowsy just now, instantly flashed a thunderbolt in his head, he woke up with a bang, opened his eyes and looked at Ji Thief, and at the same time kept beating the drum in his heart, and said in his heart, Could it be that Mulian was discovered?
No, Mulian is now hiding in the Eastern Plains and further east, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible to find it at all.
What's more, now that the Qingfeng tribe is still besieging the tribe, no one can get out.
"Patriarch, why did you remember to ask this?" asked Ah Zheng in shock, but still forced his composure.
At the same time, his brain is spinning and thinking about solutions.
Ji Thief didn't suspect anything else, but took a deep breath and told Ah Zai about the hunt in the Qingfeng tribe.
When the latter heard this, he was even more surprised, and said in his heart, how did the good Mulian run to the Qingfeng tribe?
Suddenly, Ah Zheng woke up, and his heart was broken, Mulian must have run to the Qingfeng tribe to use the power of cloth to find the patriarch for revenge.
As soon as he thought of this, Ah Zheng couldn't help but have a layer of white sweat on his back.
The nervousness in his heart was abnormal, but Ah Zai pretended to be puzzled and had some sadness on his face: "No, I did kill Mulian at that time." ”
Ji Thief twisted his eyebrows and looked at Ah Zheng: "You didn't lie to me?"
Ah Zai stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky and swore, "Patriarch, what I said is the truth. ”
The thief stared directly into Ah Zheng's eyes.
The latter's first thought was to dodge, but it was like a ghost, and he met the thief's gaze directly.
After staring at Ah Zai for a long time, the thief let out a sigh: "Maybe I've thought too much, maybe there is a person named Mulian in the Qingfeng tribe." ”
Ah Zai breathed a sigh of relief, and the others were also relieved, as long as Mulian died.
Shaking his head, Ji Thief waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's okay, we will have a meeting early tomorrow morning." ”
"Meeting, what's the meeting?" asked Ah Zai, puzzled.
Ji Thief talked about the current situation of the Qingfeng tribe, and finally, he focused on the matter of the distribution of physical goods in the Qingfeng tribe, and then said: "I think this matter can be done in a bit, as long as the operation is done properly, the enemy can be defeated in one fell swoop, and we don't need to keep fighting with the Qingfeng tribe." ”
When everyone heard this, they all looked at the thief in confusion.
Only Ji Thief was looking at Ah Zai, he thought that Ah Zai could understand what he meant, but he didn't expect that Ah Zai was also at a loss like Tushan and them.
Seeing this, Ji Thief couldn't help but think to himself, could it be that what he said was too profound?
In fact, the thief knew that Ah Zheng's thoughts were all taken away by Mulian's presence in the Qingfeng tribe.
"Alright, don't look like you're curious, and tomorrow, everyone will come to my meeting. The thief gave the order to evict the guest.
Several people looked at each other and turned away.
After they left, the thief sat down, and he still had a pimple in his heart about Mulian.
Just now he stared at Ah Zai's eyes, just to see if Ah Zai was lying to himself.
What if Ah Zheng was reluctant to kill Mulian and let her go?
All of this is possible.
But from Ah Zai, Ji Thief did not get the answer he wanted, Ah Zai's gaze at that time was extremely determined, and there was no sign of lying at all.
"Is it really that I'm thinking too much?" Ji Thief muttered and shook his head: "Forget it, no matter so much, it doesn't matter if Mulian is alive or not, she wasn't my opponent before, and now, she is even less my opponent." With this time, I would like to think about tomorrow's meeting. ”
With that, the thief took off his clothes and lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Here, Ah Zai and the others left the Ji thief's residence together except for Tushan, and after parting, Ah Zai quickly returned to his room.
As soon as he walked in and closed the door, he immediately sweated uncontrollably, and sat down on the ground with a thud, gasping for air.
When he was stared at by Ji Thief just now, the guilt in his heart almost made him tell the truth.
Ah Zheng is not afraid that Ji Thief will punish him, he is just afraid that if he tells the fact that Mu Lian is not dead, Ji Thief will know it, and he will never give Mu Lian a chance to live.
Biting his lip, Ah Zai wept silently, and muttered in his heart: "Patriarch, I'm sorry I lied to you, I can't let Mu Lian die, I like her, I love her!
muttered in a low voice, and suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Ah Ju's voice sounded outside: "Ah Zheng, are you back?"
Ah Zai was taken aback, quickly wiped away the tears on his face, stood up and opened the door, and saw Ah Ju standing outside, so he asked, "Ah Ju, haven't you rested so late?"
Ah Ju shook his head: "No, what did the patriarch call you to do just now?"
Ah Zai sighed: "It's nothing, it's just that the patriarch didn't let the hunt come back to a person, from his mouth, the patriarch asked some things, let me go over and take a look." ”
Ah Ju nodded, convinced of Ah Zai's words, up and down the Lihuo tribe, who doesn't know that the most favored thief is Ah Zai.
Moreover, Ah Zai is also smart, and he is the second person in the Lihuo tribe after Ji Thief.
Every time the thief goes out, the person in charge of the acting patriarch position in the Lihuo tribe is either Xue or Ah Zheng.
Even in the snow, Ah Zai is the chief auxiliary duty.
It is precisely because of this trust that Ah Ju is convinced of Ah Zheng's words.
"Hunting succeeded in recovering a person? That's good, I don't know if I asked for any news. ”
Ah Zai reluctantly raised a smile on his face: "That Ah Ju, it's okay to rest early, the patriarch said that there will be a meeting tomorrow morning." ”
Ah Ju nodded, and after talking to Ah Zai a few more, he left.
