Chapter 35: Whistleblowing
Torches blazed brightly in the lobby of the cottage.
When Gu Rongying walked in with the smell of wine and the wine jar, there were four people sitting in the lobby and one person standing.
The four people who were sitting were Si Diao, the head of the village, Liu Duan, the deputy head of the village, Du Xiqian, the third leader, and Guan Taoran, the fifth leader, and there should have been a four-leader Le Xiaofang, but this guy was killed by Jiang Wusheng more than 30 days ago.
The person standing was Wu Hongxiong from the Yansuo Building in Shaojiu County.
"You guy, you came to our cottage for ten days, you only know how to drink every day, and now the cottage has important things to discuss, but you walked in drunk, I think you didn't take our gun village to heart at all. Du Xiqian said dissatisfied.
"The owner of the village, this person is really not suitable to serve as the deputy owner of our Gun Yi Village. Guan Taoran said to Si Diao, who was sitting on the top position, the owner of the village, Si Diao, was a tall and strong bald man, with two staggered scars on his bald head, which looked a little hideous.
Du Xiqian and Guan Taoran used to be the helmsmen of the gun gang, and they have been in the gun gang for many years, and they have always coveted the position of the deputy gang leader, and later the gun gang fell into the gun village, and these two people coveted the position of the deputy village master, but they didn't expect that a Gu Rongying suddenly appeared ten days ago, and when he first came to the cottage, he was directly appointed as the deputy village master by the village owner Si Diao, and the deputy village owner Liu Duan did not object, and Si Diao and Liu Duan were quite polite to this person.
This is the case now, Si Diao not only did not respond when he heard this, but greeted Gu Rong with a smile: "The master of the valley village, please take a seat." β
Gu Rongying was not polite, walked to the top and sat side by side with Si Diao and Liu Duan, and glanced at Du Xiqian and Guan Taoran with a sneer. In his eyes, these two guys are just two birds, even if the owner of the village Si Diao and the deputy owner of the village Liu Duan, they are only two birds in his heart, and he is only a big ambition of the bird, he is just unfortunate to temporarily fall into the mix with these birds.
Du Xiqian and Guan Taoran were both indignant and puzzled, but Liu Duan felt that it should be so.
Ten days ago, Gu Rongying fled to the mountains here, and inadvertently met the gun village, at that time he met the owner of the village Si Diao and the deputy village owner Liu Duan, the three of them fought in the mountains and forests, Si Diao and Liu Duan together are not Gu Rongying's opponents, so there is a heart to recruit, Gu Rongying in order to avoid the pursuit of soldiers to accept the recruitment to be the deputy owner of the gun village, and when Si Diao and Liu Duan learned the origin of Gu Rongying, they were even more frightened.
Du Xiqian and Guan Taoran didn't know about this matter, if they knew, the two would not dare to be disrespectful to Gu Rong.
Si Diao looked at Wu Hongxiong who was standing: "Now you can tell me what you know." β
Wu Hongxiong was a little cautious: "I can tell the situation, but I have a request, I hope that after I say it, the master of the village will allow me to join Guizhai and be reused." β
Si Diao sneered: "Yes." β
Wu Hongxiong smiled with satisfaction, and then said: " I was the helmsman of the Jianghu gang in Shaojiu County, Shanyin County, the helmsman of the Yansuo Lou slave seller, more than 30 days ago, I escorted a group of small slaves to Gusu City to sell, when passing through this place, I met a group of Guizhai brothers, I wanted to use silver to honor the Guizhai brothers, and a woman who walked with me was unwilling, this woman's name was Jiang Nian, the only daughter of Jiang Chonglou, the owner of the Yansuo Building, she was not only unwilling, but also provoked the Le Haohan of Guizhai, and was captured by Le Haohan, suddenly, a small slave shot, this little slave was a very powerful Xuanwu, he killed more than 50 brothers in Guizhai, including Le Haohanγ β
Liu Duan didn't believe it: "A little slave who was escorted and sold by you would be a very powerful Xuanwu?"
Wu Hongxiong said: "I know this kind of thing is very bizarre, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe." β
Liu Duan asked again: "What is the origin of the little slave?"
Wu Hongxiong said: "The little slave is called Jiang Sheng, an orphan in Shaojiu County, raised by a Qingqi person in a Qinglou, the Qinglou is called Lianxianglou, and the Qingqi person is called Xie Yanyu, because Xie Yanyu suddenly disappeared, the people of Lianxianglou sold Jiang Sheng to our Yansuo Lou slave rudder at a price of five taels of silver. Later, I went to Lianxianglou to inquire, and the people in Lianxianglou didn't know what was going on, they thought that Jiang Sheng was just a seriously ill teenager with serious physical weakness. β
Si Diao spoke: "What do you think is going on?"
Wu Hongxiong said: "I guess that Jiang Sheng is likely to secretly become Xuanwu, and the people in Lianxianglou don't know about it." β
Jiang Nian always thought that Jiang Wusheng was not the real Jiang Sheng, the real Jiang Sheng was dead, and Jiang Wusheng deliberately hid in the prisoner car of the Yansuo Building as Jiang Sheng to avoid the enemy. She thinks so because she doesn't know what the real Jiang looks like. Wu Hongxiong was different, when Lianxianglou sold Jiang Sheng to the slave rudder, he had seen Jiang Sheng on the spot, so he guessed that Jiang Sheng was likely to secretly become Xuanwu.
Liu Duan asked, "Then what kind of cultivation is Jiang Sheng?"
Wu Hongxiong was embarrassed: "I'...... I'm not a Xuanwu, so I can't see it, but Jiang Sheng is only fourteen years old, and he must be a Xuanwu of the Tongmai Realm. "Fourteen-year-old Tongmai Realm Xuanwu is already very rare, Wu Hongxiong doesn't think that Jiang Sheng will have a higher cultivation.
Liu Duan said: "The ordinary Tongmai Realm Xuanwu can't kill so many of our brothers, not to mention the Le Xiao Fang. β
Wu Hongxiong said: "Jiang Sheng's shot that day was very domineering, and he was indeed a very powerful Xuanwu, so I guess he probably cultivated a powerful Xuanwu." By the way, when our team was about to set off that morning, Jiang Sheng fainted and didn't wake up until noon, I thought he was sick and fainted at that time, but now it seems that this is not the case, he may have fainted due to excessive consumption of cultivation Xuangong. β
Si Diao spoke again: "Tell me more about what he looked like that day." β
Wu Hongxiong said: "That day, while flying in the air, he shot a series of air arrows with the ten fingers of both hands, and each air arrow could shoot a brother in Guizhai. β
"Finger Xuangong?" Si Diao frowned and looked at Gu Rongying: "Gu Zhai Master, you are well-informed, can you guess what kind of finger Xuangong this is?"
Gu Rongying said lightly: "There are many kinds of finger mystical skills, and I can't judge this clue alone." β
In fact, Jiang Wusheng didn't use any finger Xuan Gong at all that day, he just used a true yuan from his previous life, but he couldn't use the Xuan Gong cultivated in his previous life, but this true yuan was very powerful, and he condensed the true yuan into a series of qi arrows and popped them out with his fingers, which could cause terrible lethality.
Liu Duan concluded: "A young man who secretly became a Xuanwu through the vein, and also secretly cultivated a powerful finger Xuangong, is such a young man who killed more than 50 brothers in our Gun Yi Village?"
Wu Hongxiong nodded: "That's right, but Jiang Chonglou should be responsible for this matter, because if it weren't for his daughter Jiang Nian's conflict with Le Haohan that day, Jiang Sheng would not have made a move, and Brother Guizhai would not have died, and Jiang Sheng actually helped Jiang Nian to make a move, it can be seen that he and Jiang Nian must know each other, and it is even very likely that Jiang Chonglou knows about his existence." β
Wu Hongxiong knew that his speculation was wrong, because when Jiang Sheng fainted that morning, Jiang Nian wanted to throw Jiang Sheng away, but he stopped him, and Jiang Nian also asked him about the origin of this young man, but he came to Gun Yizhai this time to inform, first, for his own benefit, and secondly, to let Jiang Chonglou die, of course, he would try his best to put the responsibility on Jiang Chonglou.
Liu Duan asked, "Since Jiang Chonglou knew about his existence, why did he let him hide in your team? Why did he, a Xuanwu boy who had cultivated Xuangong, hide in your team?"
Wu Hongxiong thought for a while and said: "There may be someone who wants to kill him, so he deliberately hid in our team and wanted us to take him to Gusu City, the reason why Jiang Chonglou allowed him to do this was because he wanted him to protect his daughter." β
