Chapter 52: Finding Out the News (2)

Seeing the frightened look of the shopkeeper, Ling Xingyue understood that she couldn't get any useful information from the shopkeeper, so she also gave up asking the shopkeeper and said, "Little brother, what are you doing, you can put away this money, since you don't know, we won't ask." After speaking, he picked up the gold coin on the table and handed it to the shopkeeper.

Giving up the money that had already arrived, the shopkeeper's heart was simply dripping blood, but in order to save his life, he had to do this, and now seeing that Ling Xingyue no longer asked about the bandits of Yuefeng Mountain, and was willing to give him the money, he looked at Ling Xingyue with some disbelief, and after making sure that Ling Xingyue had no intention of changing her mind, he took a few gold coins from her hand, and after thanking her non-stop, he left in a hurry.

After the shopkeeper left, Chu Yifei and Ling Xingyue glanced at each other, and Chu Yifei said: "Shopkeeper is so afraid of the thieves of Yuefeng Mountain, I'm afraid he can't ask anything, let's think of another way!"

Ling Xingyue nodded and said, "That's the only way, let's eat first, and after eating, let's take a look around to see if we can get some useful news." ”

The two didn't say anything more, hurriedly ate, paid the bill and walked out of the shop.

Chu Yifei looked at the empty street in the town, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid our Jihua is going to fail, you see that this street is empty, where can we find out the news." ”

Ling Xingyue also frowned and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that the bandits in Yuefeng Mountain were rampant, not only causing losses to the past merchants, but even the people nearby had to live cautiously, and they didn't even dare to mention the name of Yuefeng Mountain, if they could exterminate this group of bandits this time, it would be a merit." Let's take a walk around first!"

The two walked through the streets of the small town where there were not many people, and occasionally met one or two pedestrians, and when they heard that the two of them were going to inquire about the news of Yuefeng Mountain, they all walked away as if they had seen ghosts.

Two hours passed, and the two who had nothing to gain reluctantly gave up inquiring about the news and prepared to go directly to Yuefeng Mountain.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Just as the two were about to leave the town, a shout was heard from a corner of the town's main street.

Chu Yifei looked at the sound and found that in the corner of a house at the end of the street in the town, there was a person who was sticking out half of his head and shouting at them, but he didn't seem to dare to make a loud noise, for fear of alarming the others, so he kept shouting quietly and waved his hand anxiously, trying to attract the attention of the two.

"That person seems to be the second shopkeeper from before. Chu Yifei said.

"Well, it's really him, he must be trying to tell us something when he stops us now, let's take a look!" Ling Xingyue said.

When the two of them walked up to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper stopped shouting, looked around carefully, and found that no one noticed, so he whispered to the two: "Two, I know some of the situation in Yuefeng Mountain, but there are many people in the inn, and it is inconvenient to say to the two, I don't know if the two of you have time, follow me to a secluded place to talk in detail?"

Chu Yifei and Ling Xingyue looked at each other and smiled, the second brother of this shop was obviously unable to resist the temptation of money, so he planned to tell them the news he knew, but they didn't tell it, Ling Xingyue pretended to be surprised, and said, "Then there is Little Brother Lao, please lead the way!"

When the shopkeeper heard Ling Xingyue agree, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he rubbed his hands slightly nervously and said, "Girl, you see, I risked my life to give you the news, if I let those vicious bandits know, I have to kill my whole family, that, that ......"

Ling Xingyue knew the consciousness of the shopkeeper, took out a few gold coins and put them in his hand, and said, "Don't worry, if your news is useful, we won't treat you badly, lead the way! Otherwise, if someone finds out, we won't be able to save you." ”

After getting Ling Xingyue's assurance, the shopkeeper didn't say much, and led the two of them towards an alley behind the house where he was, and after seven turns and turns, he came to the front of an extremely simple house, pushed open the door, and said to the two: "Please come in, two of you!"

The house has obviously not been here for a long time, and as soon as the shopkeeper pushed the door, the dust on the door fell down, and the spider nets in the yard were also knotted.

As if to comfort himself, and as if to explain to the two, the shopkeeper said: "This house has been handed down by my ancestors, no one has used it for a long time, it is very safe, no one will suspect it here, let's talk about it here!"

Ling Xingyue was a girl, and she was extremely disgusted by the strong musty smell and the cobwebs all over the ground, she frowned and said, "Okay, since that's the case, you can quickly tell us what you know!"

The shopkeeper obviously also discovered Ling Xingyue's impatience, and said embarrassedly: "I've wronged the girl, I'll tell you about the situation of the bandits in Yuefeng Mountain." ”

The shopkeeper thought for a moment before he spoke: "More than ten years ago, Yuefeng Mountain, as the transportation artery from the Cold Moon Empire to the Haofeng Empire, had an extremely important position, and the merchants who traveled between the two countries continued to pass through Yuefeng Mountain, making the towns on both sides of Yuefeng Mountain extremely prosperous. ”

"However, ten years ago, the arrival of a group of people completely changed Yuefeng Mountain, and they used extremely barbaric and ferocious means to recover dozens of idle bandits around Yuefeng Mountain, forming the current Yuefeng Mountain bandit team, and began to rob the past merchants, bringing them huge losses, making Yuefeng Mountain a nightmare for the past merchants. ”

"When the bandit team of Yuefeng Mountain was first established, the number of people was far less than it is now, only four or five thousand people, but as the name of the bandits of Yuefeng Mountain became more and more famous, countless idle bandits joined it, and in the past ten years, the number of bandits has reached more than 20,000 people, becoming a force that should not be underestimated, even the two empires sent people to encircle and suppress, but they have not been able to do anything with them. ”

Listening to the shopkeeper's narration, Ling Xingyue frowned, although the shopkeeper's narrative is extremely detailed, it is all about the development of the Yuefeng Mountain bandits, and it has no useful value, if the shopkeeper continues to talk like this, she doesn't know when she will be able to get to the point, she interrupted the shopkeeper's narration and said, "Little second brother, don't go any further, now you can say whatever I ask." ”
