Chapter Twenty-Six: Someone Is Doing Something
Ning Yufei and Yu Lianyi were invisible under the effect of the 'double world', but their bodies still existed in the outside world, so the water was successfully splashed on them. Fortunately, they were prepared, and they all held their heads and closed their eyes, otherwise they would have screamed!
The water poured on them was also affected by the 'dual world' ability, and soon disappeared in stealth. Of course, this process takes a moment, that is, in this chaotic moment, no one notices here, otherwise someone will definitely find out about the anomaly.
At this moment, half of the houses were almost burned, but because the lobby was relatively empty, the fire did not spread. And Zhou Tong and other masters each carried two large buckets of water to the inner room to extinguish the source of the fire.
Fortunately, there were not many things in the room, and the fire finally subsided a little, and the fire was finally brought under control before the water storage in Peach Blossom Mountain was exhausted. And noon had passed, and Ning Yufei and the others had already taken the opportunity to slip away. The chaos of the cottage provided them with an opportunity to steal two horses, which were already more than ten miles away at this moment.
Of course, halfway through, Ning Yufei didn't forget to take some food. With his ability, he can only make things that are in contact with his body invisible at the moment, and he can't cover too widely, the wider the coverage, the greater the consumption of energy. When they stole the horses, they hid the two horses together, but in less than half a pillar of incense, Ning Yufei couldn't hold on.
They changed the wet clothes on their bodies, of course, Ning Yufei was not lucky to change them with the beauties. Then they found a remote mountain col and sat to eat, both of them were a little inexplicably excited, and they talked while eating, and they temporarily forgot the tangled relationship between the two.
At this time, the peach blossom cottage, looking at the mess all over the ground, Zhou Tong's face was full of anger. Two of the three bedrooms had been burned down, and only an empty box of his savings had been hidden under the bed that had been left behind. Obviously, this was not an accident, but someone stole it and set it on fire! Li Zhong knew the personality of this sworn brother, and for a while, he didn't know what to say, just patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Brother, I will definitely find out about this matter, don't worry, anyway, the eldest brother is yours, we share blessings and difficulties! Don't be too excited, calm down first!"
Zhou Tong really respected Li Zhong, so even though his heart was like a fire, he still suppressed it. However, the eyes he looked at Zhang Qing and his wife and Yang Lin were very unfriendly.
Seeing that the momentum was not right, Li Zhong hurriedly said first, "Three, let you see the smile, the cottage is in an eventful autumn, so it is inconvenient to keep you more, please!" Speaking of which, Zhang Qing and the three of them knew that it was impossible to stay any longer, so they had to withdraw first.
Several people walked to the mountain gate, and Li Zhong personally sent them to the door, which made several people's faces look a lot better. A few people were about to say goodbye, but they saw a little minion running over, very anxious.
"What's going on?" Li Zhong felt that today was indeed not a good day, and looked at the little minion who was in a hurry, and took the lead in asking.
"Report to the big boss, the stableman said that two horses are missing!"
"What!" You must know that the number of horses in the entire cottage is not very large, and each one is the most important wealth of the cottage, which of course makes Li Zhong very anxious and distressed.
"When did you find out?" Even so, he remained relatively calm and asked for details first.
"Just now!" replied the minion, "and the brothers saw that the second chief's house was on fire, and they were busy fetching water and calling for people. Since the cottage has always been safe, we were defenseless, and a few brothers from the stables went to help. As a result, as soon as they went back just now, they found that the door of the stable was not closed properly, and this inspection showed that there were indeed two missing horses!"
"It seems that the matter has become clear, someone is playing ghosts, trying to frame us and sabotage our cooperation with Guishanzhai. ”
After listening to the minion's words, Li Zhong was silent in thought, but Yang Lin, who had never spoken much, pointed out the key points to the point.
Li Zhong was actually a smart man, but he couldn't figure out how this person did it.
After Yang Lin finished speaking, seeing that Li Zhong did not show dissatisfaction, but a thoughtful face, he nodded and continued, "It stands to reason that our affairs are very secretive, except for the two leaders, the rest of the cottage brothers don't know the true identities of me and a few others, so they shouldn't leak secrets." After all, our goal is to cooperate, and we see that the goal is about to be achieved, and we have no reason to destroy it ourselves. ”
Li Zhong nodded.
"Brother Zhou's house can only be entered by the main entrance, but after they came out, it was closed, although the door was unguarded, but the houses of the brothers in the vicinity were very close, and there was no possibility of entering through the main entrance, besides, the lock of the main gate was not broken. At this point, he paused slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "I have seen that in addition to the main door, the house has only a one-foot square patio and a small window nailed with iron bars. That means the person most likely got in through the patio. And the house is three feet high, and there are no footprints around, which shows that the man's light skills are very high! And to be able to pass through such a small patio, even if he can shrink his bones, he must be a short person to do it. Therefore, if the above conditions are met at the same time, there is only 'Bantam Tiger' Wang Ying on the rivers and lakes. But he is in Qingfeng Mountain in Qingzhou at this moment, and he is not this person. ”
Li Zhong was about to call someone to call Zhou Tong and tell him the news about the arsonist, but when he heard the last sentence, he had to give up, but he was annoyed that this person was talking nonsense.
Yang Lin saw that he was dissatisfied, and hurriedly said, "Brother Li, don't blame, and listen to me again." That Wang Ying has three sworn brothers, all of whom are heroes with extremely high light skills and quite a reputation. They are 'Jinmao Tiger' Yan Shun, 'Drum Flea' Shi Qian and 'Iron Face' Pei Xuan. These people, Yan Shun is good at wine, Wang Ying is lustful, Shi Qian is happy with wealth, Pei Xuan is righteous, and together, they can be regarded as 'wine color and wealth'. Among these people, Shi Qian's light skills are the highest, and he is the number one thief in the rivers and lakes today! If this person were this person, he would have been able to do everything that happened today. ”
"Brother Yang means that the person who set the fire was moved at that time? Okay! My Peach Blossom Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain well water do not interfere with river water, he is actually in my Qingzhou, just a few thieves! If it weren't for Brother Yang's informance today, I haven't heard of it, and I think it's just some rats who are roosters and dogs, so I'm going to call Brother Shang and kill Qingfeng Mountain! Go and seek justice for my brother!"
"Brother Li, slow down! You can't underestimate them! Their reputation is not obvious, but they are few, but they are all elites! 'Iron Face' Pei Xuan was originally a group training of the imperial court, but he was upright, offended the corrupt officials, and was almost killed in the end, so he threw himself into the green forest. His ability to train troops is not simple, just one or two hundred people, it is definitely comparable to the quality of the imperial court's army!"
"What! It's so powerful!"
Li Zhong didn't doubt Yang Lin's words, after all, if something hadn't happened suddenly, maybe he would have formed an alliance with them a long time ago.
"Then what should I do? That's it? Since the staff members are going to accomplish a big thing, I don't know if I will find them?" Li Zhong suddenly thought that if they all formed an alliance with the staff members, then they would not be able to take revenge in the future.
"Those people were too stubborn, I was originally sent to meet them, but one of them was drunk, one of them didn't know where to go, one lay on the woman's belly all day, and the last one didn't see me at all, so I was closed, and then I followed the Zhang couple here. ”
When Li Zhong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Now that we know who the enemy is, then we will always have a time to repay! Don't worry, please go back and tell the senior officer, I, Li Zhong, respect him! This time the matter will be put on hold for the time being, but I promise that in the near future, I will personally come to the door to meet the senior member!"
Yang Lin and the three of them listened to Li Zhong's tone and knew that things had taken a turn for the better, and they were all overjoyed, and they said yes again and again. After saying goodbye, Li Zhong saw a few people leave, and he was also relieved.
He knows his own strength, and he also knows the strength of the other party, Sun Erniang and Yang Lin among the three are definitely stronger than him, that is, Zhang Qing, and his martial arts are not far behind, and they are about the same as Zhou Tong. People just sent out a few people to have such a strong strength, you can imagine how strong the real power behind it is, so although he is unwilling, he can only choose to rely on the strong
