Chapter 146: Confession
It was quiet in the firewood room, and there was no popularity at all. Xu Chenlong lit the candle and looked around, and saw that the rich merchant who was originally imprisoned here had disappeared, and only found a colorful robe in the corner of the wall, which should have been taken off by the rich merchant in order to disguise.
Since he is not here, the rich merchant is most likely to be the person next to Yun Genggeng, so he must still be hiding in Yun Genggeng's house. Xu Chenlong raised his eyebrows, thinking that it was the rich merchant who had just fought fiercely with the man in black.
Thinking so, Xu Chenlong exited the room and closed the door, creating the illusion that the rich merchant was still in the house. The plan for now is to find the rich businessman first and then make a decision, otherwise if his identity is also discovered by Zhu Kui, I am afraid that things will be even more difficult.
"Yun Genggeng, something fell in the firewood room, I'll go and get it." Xu Chenlong had no choice but to find the guy in charge of the miscellaneous items and ask for the key, and said.
"The hard work of the second master." The guy smiled flatteringly.
Xu Chenlong had something to do, and he was usually cold, so he didn't want to greet him so much at this time, so he just nodded casually and left.
And Si Yi, who was locked up by mistake, tried all the ways to get out safely but failed, and was half-sitting behind the firewood at a loss. I heard the sound of footsteps approaching, followed by the sound of a rattle pulling away the chains.
Si Yi waited with bated breath on the spot, only to see that the man really came over step by step. Just at the last moment, Si Yi drew his sword out of its sheath, and the blade went straight to Xu Chenlong's heart.
Xu Chenlong has practiced martial arts for many years, and he also subconsciously turned around and counterattacked, the two exchanged hands twice, Xu Chenlong came back to his senses, stopped moving, and let Si Yi subdue him.
"It's you thieves who want to kill Sister Geng Geng." Si Yi was furious, and he raised his sword to stab Xu Chenlong's chest, as if he had a killing intent: "No injustice and no revenge, why bother."
"Wait," Xu Chenlong moved sideways, slightly distanced himself from Si Yi, and made sure that there was no one else around before saying, "I'm not from Black Tiger Village."
Xu Chenlong's voice was already low, but now he deliberately lowered his voice, and the words only turned into a few hasty syllables in Si Yi's ears, and he couldn't help frowning, and said, "What did you say?"
Xu Chenlong was also helpless for a while, and pointed to the sword in Si Yi's hand: "You put the things away first, and I'll tell you."
Seeing that he looked serious, Si Yi didn't say anything more, put his sword into the sheath, and asked again, "What did you just say?"
Xu Chenlong stepped forward with some relief, and said: "I am not from the Black Tiger Village, although I have been on this mountain for some time, I am a member of the official family."
Si Yi never expected that there would be such a layer, and at the same time, things were complicated and couldn't help but be surprised: "Official family?"
"Yes," Xu Chenlong nodded, with a somewhat helpless look on his face, and said: "I went up the mountain many years ago, ostensibly to be the second master of the Black Tiger Village, but in fact I was an undercover agent sent by Lord Chen, and the purpose of my coming to hibernate here is to cooperate with Lord Chen to take down the Black Tiger Village."
"Si Gongzi is my benefactor, and I have also saved the life of the girl in your mouth, but it is not easy for me to hide here for many years, and without Lord Chen's consent, I can't make an assertion to let that girl go, and let our years of plans go to waste."
After finishing speaking, seeing that Si Yi still had a hesitant look on his face, Xu Chenlong pointed to the door, and said: "There is an altar in the Black Tiger Village, I buried my token under the altar, you go to find it, and you can naturally prove my identity."
"What you said is probably true." Si Yi nodded, seeing that Xu Chenlong looked serious, not like he was lying, but for the sake of safety, he still tied Xu Chenlong's hand and said, "But you have to follow me to prove that I can believe you."
Xu Chenlong saw that he had no killing intent, so he breathed a sigh of relief and followed Si Yi to dig out the official token. Si Yi looked through it carefully, and the official seal and other logos could not be faked, so he let go of Xu Chenlong, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for saving me."
The two were about to return when they suddenly heard a shout in the distance, and the flames were everywhere, apparently many people came with torches again. Si Yi was shocked, and said helplessly: "Tonight is really a wave of unsettled waves."
Xu Chenlong nodded, and said suspiciously: "What is the identity of the man in black just now, do you know?"
"I fought him, but I couldn't tell who he was." Si Yidao.
The two couldn't, so they had to find a place to hide for a while. I vaguely heard shouting in the distance that a rich businessman was from the government, don't let him run away.
It turned out that the man in black ran for his life and couldn't escape, lost his way in the woods, and strayed into the firewood room where Si Yi was being held. Seeing that Si Yi was not there, he remembered the masked man who had obstructed him just now, so he had a plan to blame Si Yi, disguised himself as a bandit and shouted that Si Yi was a spy sent by the official uniform, attracting a group of people.
Seeing that the attention of those bandits was really attracted away, the man in black took the opportunity to hide and disappeared again like a ghost.
And such a fuss made Si Yi bitter, and he just came out of the firewood room and had such a thing, which made the man in black hate his teeth itching.
"It's not going to be easy right now." Xu Chenlong paid attention to the movements of a group of people from a distance, and saw that they seemed to have a tendency to come this way, and frowned.
"There are so many people, I'm afraid it's hard to run again, you know Black Tiger Village, think of a way." Si Yi retreated again and again, and finally had to go behind a big rock to cover it temporarily, and his arms were cut by tree branches, looking quite embarrassed.
In the room on the other side, Yun Geng finally slept on a clean and soft bed in Black Tiger Village for so many days, and was immersed in a dream in a daze, when he was suddenly awakened by a noise.
Yun Genggen was really scared, so he simply got up without doing anything, lit a candle, and went to the door and asked, "Two big brothers, what's going on outside?" What's going on again? ”
The guards were also taken aback, and only replied after a while: "It was the rich businessman who was imprisoned who escaped, and I heard that it was a spy sent by the government, and now they are all going to search for people."
Yun Genggeng was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Did you catch it?"
"No," the guard shook his head, and turned away again.
With Yun Genggeng's understanding of Si Yi, he must have to find a way to come over to find him, so he quickly thought for a moment, and said to a few people at the door: "Then you should hurry up and help, since you are from the government, it must be a good skill, if you don't go, it will not be good to make trouble."
After thinking about it, and feeling that it was not enough, Yun Genggen spoke again: "The man in black has already been here once tonight, and he shouldn't come a second time, you guys go quickly, don't worry."
After saying a few words, Yun Genggen only felt that he was really heartbroken, and he couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up secretly.
