Chapter 222: Flickering
"What nonsense are you talking about. I'm just here to find the witch Mu Qiuxia, what is the map of the Purple Bamboo Forest, what does it have to do with me?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, but immediately denied it.
"Hehe, I didn't expect your vigilance to be quite high. It's a pity that your performance betrayed yourself. ”
Fengyun let out a sneer in his heart.
His eyesight is so good that the slightest change in the middle-aged man's expression has not escaped his eyes.
After listening to Fengyun's words, the vigilance in the eyes of the middle-aged man was obviously much lighter, and the whole person became much more relaxed.
That's enough to show that there is something wrong with him.
If it were the real reinforcements of the Baicao tribe and saw an unknown person appear in the witch's house, and also mentioned the map of the purple bamboo forest, there would definitely be no such performance.
Either attack him directly, to capture him, or to raise the alarm, gather people, besiege him, capture him alive, and kill him no matter how bad it is.
Now that the Baicao Tribe and its reinforcements are fighting against the Black Crow King, the importance of the Purple Bamboo Forest, they should be very clear.
It is no exaggeration to say that its existence is fundamentally dependent on their fate.
If the map of the Purple Bamboo Forest leaks out, and the Crow King gets it, knowing the safe path to pass through it, their side will definitely lose.
However, Fengyun did not expose the middle-aged man on the spot, but was ready to continue to tease him to see if it was possible to find out some more useful information from him.
So he deliberately pretended to be quite regretful, and said: "Since you don't admit your identity, forget it, I was originally going to look at you and me for the sake of serving the same." Give you a share of the credit. Now I'm left to myself. ”
Fengyun said. Approach the window opening and make it look like you're going to leave through the window.
At the same time, in order to make the performance more realistic, he has never given up his attention to middle-aged people, and he has also appropriately revealed his vigilance.
Now, as long as you are not a fool, you know how important the topographic map of the Purple Bamboo Forest is to the Crow King, and if you can dedicate it to him, you will definitely get his attention and reward.
Since both are able to turn their backs on their tribes and allies. Fighting for the enemy, the character is not much better.
For two morally corrupt people, one of them also holds an extremely valuable object, and if you don't guard against the other person suddenly attacking the killer, you can't talk about it.
"You wait. ”
When Fengyun's hand put on the wooden strip of the latched window and was about to open it, the middle-aged man finally couldn't hold it back.
"What's wrong?"
Fengyun deliberately showed a confused expression.
"You've really got the map of the Purple Bamboo Forest?"
"You don't believe me? I'll show you the real thing. ”
Fengyun took out a hide from his close-fitting pocket, shook it for a moment, and put it back in his arms.
"This ...... This is the map of the Purple Bamboo Forest?"
The eyes of a middle-aged man move with the map. Seeing him put it back in his arms so quickly, he couldn't help but show a regretful expression.
"I don't believe you, I'm not going to be fooled. ”
There was a hint of mockery in Fengyun's eyes.
What he pulled out was indeed a map. It's just that it has nothing to do with the Purple Bamboo Forest, it is the topographic map about Lei Ze that Wu gave him before he left the Flame Snake Tribe.
"What do you say?"
Fengyun twitched the latch and said, "I'll go first." Be careful, don't show any flaws, or your life will be in danger. ”
"Wait a minute. I have a question for you. ”
"What's the question? If Mu Qiuxia comes back, the two of us will be dead. ”
"Why would you like to share such a credit with me?"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man's eyes were full of confusion.
He really couldn't understand what a great credit it was to get the map of the Purple Bamboo Forest, why he should share it with others, and he was a stranger.
The map of the Purple Bamboo Forest is indeed very important to the Black Crow King, and if you dedicate it to him, you can get a lot of benefits, but no one will be disgusted with the benefits.
"That's what you want to ask. The reason is very simple, I did it for myself. ”
"How?"
"We are now inside the enemy, and the slightest mistake will reveal a flaw, and in this situation, it is very likely that they will not look for so much evidence, and will directly attack us, and would rather kill by mistake than let go. ”
"It's really dangerous, and I'm always on guard, and I don't dare to relax in the slightest. ”
The middle-aged man showed an empathetic expression, and his guard was a little lax.
"But if we can join forces, it will be different, cooperate with each other, cover each other, and we can minimize the risk of our exposure. No matter how bad it is, if we are discovered, we can also escape together, and the strength of the people is greater, and the certainty of escaping will be much greater. ”
"Listen to what you mean, do you want to share the credit for finding the map of the Purple Bamboo Forest with more people?"
"Yes. You and I both understand that we will work for that person, except that he is strong and we can't resist it, so why don't we want to get the benefits he gives. In that case, I want to get help from others and not give them benefits, okay?
"You...... There is some truth to what you say. ”
There was a slight embarrassment on the middle-aged man's face, but he finally agreed with what Fengyun said, and his guard was a little lighter.
"It looks like we're one step closer to success. ”
Fengyun knew that the middle-aged man had begun to slowly believe in him.
He decided to make persistent efforts to gain the trust of the other party as soon as possible and achieve his goal.
"I'll tell you the truth. I would like to share this credit with you, but there is actually another purpose. ”
"For what purpose?"
"Align with each other. I want to form an alliance with all of you. You and I have a long-term plan. This time, if that man wins, he will be the true overlord of Razor. At that time, many people will definitely come to him, and if we don't form a group, we will be ostracized by them. ”
"Apart from them, that person already has various forces under him, we are outsiders, we are not aligned, and we can't compete with them at all. ”
"Once we lose our place in that person's mind, not only will it be much more difficult to reap the benefits, but even our lives will be seriously threatened. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
The middle-aged man became nervous.
"Think about it. When we take refuge in that person, we are refuting in the strong, and we have no intention of being ashamed, but others will not think so. They will take us to blame for their defeat, and they will hate us more than they do to that man. ”
"If we lose the protection of that man, we will inevitably suffer revenge from them. Isn't it going to be very dangerous?"
In order to increase the authenticity of the performance, Fengyun shrank his neck slightly, looking frightened.
"It can't be that serious. After that man wins, he will definitely purge them, and they will not be able to escape. ”
"I'm afraid you don't believe that. The man was powerful, but Razor was so big, would he be able to search every corner? Even if they could, what if they escaped to Razor's outside? Those places weren't his territory. “
"Say it. What should I do? ”
The middle-aged man put down his raised hand, but did not put away the knife in his hand.
"I'm going to ask you to gather everyone together and share with me the credit for finding the map of the Purple Bamboo Forest. ”
"Why do ......you want me to gather everyone?
Listening to Fengyun's request, a look of vigilance appeared on the middle-aged man's face again.
"Do you suspect that I'm cheating on you? I'm asking you to do this for your sake. If you come forward and gather everyone, and when the people come, I will say that you came up with the idea of sharing the credit with everyone, so that everyone will necessarily think differently about you. ”
"I'm helping you, but you are so unappreciative that you still doubt me? I'll gather everyone myself. ”
A look of anger appeared on Fengyun's face, and he pushed open the window and was about to jump out.
"Wait a minute. I was wrong, and this time I was wrong. I apologize to you. ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly stopped Fengyun.
"Do you believe I'm telling the truth?"
"I believe it, I believe it all. Well, you'd better plug in the window. We are from the door, so as not to leave a flaw, it is not good to be discovered by Mu Qiuxia's cunning old woman. ”
"I didn't expect your heart to be very delicate. I didn't misread you. ”
Fengyun lowered the window, reinserted it with a latch, and walked straight to the door.
The middle-aged man stepped aside and made way for him.
Fengyun didn't immediately cross the threshold, but poked his head out first and looked around.
In this process, the middle-aged man's eyes kept moving on his back and neck, and there was a faint murderous intent in his eyes, and the hand holding the short knife was a little white because of the excessive strength.
Obviously, he had a killing intent towards Fengyun and wanted to kill him and take the so-called Purple Bamboo Forest map for himself, but I don't know if he considered that killing Fengyun here would leave a bloodstain and arouse the vigilance of the witch, so he finally gave up.
After a while, Fengyun retracted the head that had been poked out, turned to the middle-aged man and said, "There is no one outside, we can leave." ”
The expression seemed very natural, as if he didn't know that the other party had murderous intentions towards him.
Actually, he knew.
They were so close to each other that, with his keen sense of hearing and perception, even if he didn't look back, he could guess what he wanted to do with some of the information he had gathered.
"Then let's go. Mu Qiuxia's old woman is very difficult, once she detects it, she will be in big trouble. ”
"So what are you waiting for. ”
Fengyun crossed the threshold, there was no corridor, and he jumped directly from downstairs to below.
The middle-aged man hurriedly closed the door, also wanting to learn from Fengyun, but after hesitating, he decided to take the stairs.
Fengyun jumped to the ground, not to mention making a sound, and not even the dust blew much.
This is his warning to middle-aged people in disguise, don't think more crookedly, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. (To be continued.) )
