Chapter 104: Small Talk Around the Campfire (Part II)
Shi Cheng and Wu Neng exchanged glances with each other, and Shi Cheng could clearly see the shock in Wu Neng's eyes.
The monks sitting around the campfire became interested and talked about it, and some said that the ghost fire was some kind of treasure left behind by Yanmen that was difficult for outsiders to discover; It is said that the Ghost Fire is an extremely powerful Grandmaster Realm demon beast; It is said that the ghost fire may be the handiwork of a certain hidden master; It is also said that the ghost fire is a hidden secret place that has not yet been discovered by the monks; There is even speculation that the Yanmen did not really fall back then, and it is very likely that a small number of people survived and secretly plotted something big.
"Yo, it's so lively, what are you talking about?"
Everyone followed the prestige, and it turned out that Ma Guo and Xu Fengshi had returned.
"Just talk about some rumors." Xiu Lin stretched, "Deacon Xu, why did you go for so long and come back?" We're worried that something has happened to you on the high ground, and we're about to go to you. ”
"Thank you Elder Xiu for worrying, don't worry." The smile on Xu Fengshi's face was a little reluctant, he found a vacant seat by the campfire and sat down with Ma Guo, the words of Ma Guo talking to the person he called Elder Ling before coming out of the secret passage were still echoing in his ears.
"Elder Ling, when the appointed time comes, let's send those little brown-skinned monkeys to Gate Six, right?"
"That's right, we've hired a small sect of monks to help us work in the restricted area and in Kenbin City, and there's no problem with them. They have also gathered many children from the city, and with you have them, there are more than enough. We have already negotiated with Yang Qingwen before, and after the matter is completed, the people of that small sect can also get a small part, after all, even if there is no credit, they also have hard work. ”
"Since it has been agreed, Ma will naturally have no opinion, and after the matter is completed, it will be enough for our Liulin Dart Bureau to get our share of the remuneration."
……
Xu Fengshi stood behind, stunned as he looked at Ma Guo and Elder Ling who were walking in front. As the two talked, the fate of the children was decided as if they were trading.
Xu Fengshi once thought that his heart was cold and hard enough, and he had also seen how the various branches of the North Rainforest Continent drove and oppressed the indigenous slave laborers under him, but those slave laborers were all adult men and women, and today, it was the first time he had seen so many young children being driven to the Jedi of death.
In addition to the young child upsetting Xu Fengshi, there was another thing that made him shudder.
Xu Fengshi revealed to Elder Ling that the last time someone from the Du family was tortured and killed by a mysterious master in the secret passage, but to his surprise, Elder Ling was extremely surprised by this matter and said that he had no idea.
It was impossible to tell from the face of the person known as Elder Ling whether his reaction was true or not, but this made Ma Guo panic for a while, and after Elder Ling repeatedly promised that he would personally organize people to thoroughly investigate the inside and outside of the secret passage, Ma Guo and Xu Fengshi barely settled down.
"Deacon Xu? Deacon Xu? Shi Cheng's voice came, waking Xu Fengshi up from his memories violently.
Shi Cheng didn't know when he had come to his side, holding a wooden cup with hot brown bean drink in his hand, and while squatting down and handing the cup to Xu Fengshi, he asked with concern: "Deacon Xu, from the time we set off, your face didn't look very good, is something wrong?" ”
"Ah...... It's nothing, it may be that the past two days have been complicated, and there has been some heat stroke. Thank you Shi Gongzi for hanging ...... Worried. ”
"Really?" Shi Cheng frowned, Xu Fengshi's excuse was quite clumsy, if he was really in poor spirits because of heat stroke, Shi Cheng could see it at a glance.
"Really, I want to have a good night's rest tonight." Xu Fengshi laughed dryly.
Shi Cheng was secretly a little more wary of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce in his heart, he nodded, and said, "Also, it's not too late, let's go and rest early in a while." ”
It was getting late, and everyone talked around the bonfire for a while, and after Ma Guo and Xiu Lin arranged the guards of the camp at night, everyone dispersed to rest, sleep well and recharge, and tomorrow was the beginning of the main show.
Xu Fengshi left earlier than the others, and after drinking the brown bean drink handed to him by Shi Cheng, he said goodbye and went back to his tent to rest.
After returning to the tent, Shi Cheng just closed the door curtain, and said to the two companions: "Old Wu, you stay in the tent first, take care of things, if someone comes to look for it, just say that we have rested, and we will talk about it tomorrow." Iron Mask, you come with me, and creep out from the other side of the tent, and I'm going down the heights to see what's in the compartment of the other convoy. ”
Tie Mian nodded, not surprised by Shi Cheng's decision, "Xu Fengshi ...... today Something is very wrong. ”
"After all, he has been a deacon in charge of outreach work in the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce for so many years, and the basic literacy in his heart will never be lacking if the ideas in his heart are not exposed to the surface, but even so, he can't cover the emotions in his heart today, so I am very worried that the actions of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce in the Kenbin Forbidden Area will drag us people into a trap." Shi Cheng said with a calm face, "Now that we are in the forbidden area, it is not easy to retreat, but we must confirm the situation around us, so as not to be caught off guard when we encounter an emergency." ”
Iron Mask nodded again, he and Shi Cheng didn't say anything more, and after spreading out their five senses to confirm that no one was moving on the other side of the tent, they immediately slipped out of the tent, performed light skills, and disappeared into the night like a ghost.
Wu Neng stayed in the tent and waited for the two of them, and he could also sense Xu Fengshi's strangeness to some extent, so his heart also became uneasy, but fortunately, after Shi Cheng and Tie Mian left, no one else came to disturb them outside the tent.
After about a quarter of an hour, Shi Cheng and Tie Mian returned to the tent, both of them with a little doubt in their eyes.
"Lao Shi, Lao Tie, how is it, have you found anything?" Seeing the two companions coming back, Wu Neng hurriedly came up and asked in a whisper.
Shi Cheng shook his head, "The guards of that convoy...... For some reason, it was very lax, and Iron Mask and I didn't spend much effort to avoid their gaze and touch the vicinity of the carriage. ”
"How is this possible?" Wu Neng said in surprise, "Didn't Deacon Xu say that the convoy was carrying very important things?" ”
"Let's talk about what I and Iron Mask found first, we both opened the windows and looked at them one by one, and the carriages were empty, nothing." Shi Cheng's eyebrows furrowed, "Originally, we wanted to go into the carriage to have a look, but the carriage of that carriage was very thick, and it was sealed with iron chains engraved with spirit patterns, and if it was forcibly opened, it would be too loud, although the caravan guards were lax, but after all, it was not far away, and the two of us couldn't enter the carriage to search carefully for the time being." ”
"That'...... Here, their Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce specially hired a team of carriages to send some air in? Wu Neng was dumbfounded.
"No, there's another possibility." Iron Mask said coldly, "The things in the carriage have been transferred. ”
