The night general croaked and asked us, do we want to gamble again, but Panda and I were confused and didn't say anything, let's bet on what?
The Night General fluttered its wings and flew over our heads, and it whispered, "Aren't you looking for Old Zheng and the Crazy Daoist?" Since they had just left the Death Village, it meant that they were still in Yunnan, and there was only one person who could find these two first in Yunnan, and that was Jade Zhao! โ
I finally understood what General Ye meant, since we want to get news from Jade Zhao, we must pay the corresponding price. This price is either for Jade Zhao's life, or even worse, anyway, dealing with a figure of Jade Zhao's level, you definitely need to show some sincerity.
I said that this bet is not in a hurry, let me contact the friends in Nanjing.
So we moved outside the village first, and I called Zheng Shihuan as we went.
The night general Lao Tan was judged to be "dead" in Nanjing, and Zheng Shihuan inevitably became Chang Baxian's trouble, and these two people should be busy facing each other head-to-head now, and the situation was very tense.
Sure enough, after getting through the phone, Zheng Shihuan's voice was very weak, and I asked him if there was any movement between the master and the madman, but Zheng Shihuan said that he was still missing and there was no new movement.
Hanging up the phone, I contacted Kunming's Big Yellow Tooth again, this guy was specifically watching the movements of Kunming's major transportation hubs under the advice of me and Zheng Shihuan, and he also said that there was no trace of Master...... Despite his curiosity about how we survived the Death Village, we should be sure to tell them a good story when we get back. I gladly agreed, this is what should be done, but Big Yellow Fang takes good care of us.
After making these phone calls, the situation is basically clear, the master and the madman should still be in Yunnan, and these two don't seem to have any intention of going home.
General Night grinned and said in a tone of "Lao Tzu has long expected it": "If you are really in a hurry to find those two, try to have a relationship with Jade Zhao, but after the previous events, you should also know by now that your master and the madman have a much stronger ability to protect themselves than you, and you don't need to worry about it at all......"
I nodded slightly, what General Ye said was not wrong at all, Master and the madmen actually didn't need me to worry about it at all, they had been walking the rivers and lakes far longer than us, and they couldn't take our turn to protect ......
At this moment, we have walked out of the deep mountains, and I was just about to walk to the service station on the highway, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in front of me, and then a familiar voice shouted: "Xiao Yang! Panda! โ
This is the voice of "Brother Flying Knife" Ersa, and following the prestige, it is indeed Ersa who appears in front, in addition to Ersa, he is followed by two middle-aged men in dark black tights, these two middle-aged men look very familiar at first glance, I think about it carefully, my God, they are the second of the gunmen who appeared on the pickup truck last night!
"Ersa!" I pretended not to know anything, and headed towards Ersa, where the two middle-aged men behind him seemed very interested in our group, constantly looking us up and down.
Isa was so excited that he didn't seem to think that we had escaped death, and he even thought that we had died in the village of death.
And when the two men heard that we were also in the village of death last night, they instantly became very nervous, and they pulled me and the panda aside, and asked us in an undeniable tone where we had been last night and what we had seen.
I knew that they were Jade Zhao's people, and because I was shocked by Jade Zhao's prestige, I didn't lie, but told me about my whereabouts last night. But I hid the destruction of the hedron, and the hedron is now gone, so they can't find anything, I just say that I entered an empty cavern in which there was nothing but the corpse of the tomb robber.
The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he heard that I had found the cave, but when he heard that there was nothing in the cave, he was disappointed and said that it was impossible.
I finally understood Jade Zhao's purpose this time, slaughtering the entire village was not his goal, but just a means, his real purpose was to find the so-called "demon heart".
After asking us, the middle-aged man commanded us to stay put, and he took another middle-aged man to make a phone call, and then left in a hurry.
Only then was we able to talk freely with Ersa, who smiled wryly and apologized, telling us not to mind. He said that the financier who hired him was powerful, and he was simply powerful in Yunnan, and no one could match it. I'm afraid that the princes and even the emperor in the past didn't have such a big style as him.
I smiled and said it's nothing, how can you not bow your head in the territory of such big people.
Fortunately, General Night reminded us before, if Panda and I naively thought that Jade Zhao and Rouge Yasha, Chang Baxian, Wu Wang and other heroes were of the same level, then we would be very wrong and destined to suffer. In ancient times, Rouge Yaksha and Chang Ba were at most only the kings of the mountains, and Jade Zhao was at least one of the princes.
The time spent standing still was boring, and we chatted with Elsa about last night.
In fact, Isa did not know that his benefactor was coming last night, he was only responsible for reporting the daily discoveries and the next day's plan of action to his benefactor in the form of an email, and his benefactor decided on the next action based on these reports.
I asked him, is your gold owner Jade Zhao? Ersa's eyes widened, and he said with a smile, he didn't expect that the name of Jade Zhao had spread to the southeast coast.
I smiled, didn't say anything, and asked him why he was still wandering around since the village had been bulldozed. Elsa replied that Jade Zhao didn't get what he wanted, so the mission in the Death Village wasn't over.
About half an hour later, a Ford F-650 pickup truck drove in the distance, the same one that had swept through the village last night, with the same two middle-aged men we had spoken to earlier, and a big man who was clearly a middle-level leader.
Ersa is not familiar with the two middle-aged men, but he is quite familiar with this "middle-level leader", he helped us introduce each other, this one is called Xin Guanqun, nicknamed Uncle Xin, although the identity of Ersa did not say, but it must be one of the core figures under Jade Zhao.
Uncle Xin is not polite, probably because he is the descendant of Jade Zhao, so he does not need to be too humble and respectful in the land of Yunnan, because as long as Jade Zhao does not fall for a day, he can run rampant here.
However, as an old Jianghu, Uncle Xin is not a person without proportion, he is by no means as arrogant as those dog-legged people under the hands of Chang Baxian in Nanjing City, his arrogance is very moderate, and it can be stopped, not more, but not less.
"You two who found the hole?" Uncle Xin got straight to the point, didn't say any polite words, and went straight to the point.
Panda and I are used to this way, so I nodded hurriedly: "It's us, while escaping the red-eyed monster, we both accidentally fell into a hole in the ground." โ
Uncle Xin nodded lightly: "Ersa said before that you came here to find someone?" โ
"Mr. Zheng from Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, and one of his old friends, a madman."
"Crazy man? Oh...... I have a little impression that in the early years, he bought a piece of jade from my master, and it seemed to be called Huanyang Jade. However, I haven't dealt with him in recent years, but I didn't expect to meet him again in Yunnan this year. Uncle Xin said with a smile, with a hint of conceit in his smile.
Speaking of this, Uncle Xin's face suddenly changed, looked at me and the panda and asked, "Two friends, I have a reluctant request, do you mind if I search my body?" โ
As soon as these words came out, even the face of Issa, who was standing next to him, changed. Body searches are not a form of hospitality, they are a violation of dignity, and only prisoners are treated in this way.
However, although Uncle Xin said "reluctant invitation", there was no guilt or tangled expression on his face, which showed that he had searched for this body.
The panda looked at me, waiting for me to come up with an idea, and I was helpless.
What can be done? I can only let him search his body, because this is Jade Zhao's territory, and if Jade Zhao wants, he can even beat me and Panda into honeycomb coal with guns at any time.
"Yes, please." I reluctantly opened my arms, anyway, there was the same process at the airport security check, and now I ignore the personality violation, and I should do another security check.
