After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 383: Ice and Fire in Qinglong Village

On the dark and narrow path, some people followed their instincts and quietly climbed back to the village. Naturally, there were also people who stood under the tower at the gate of the village and shouted openly.

What caught people off guard the most was a group of brothers from the same village who ran back with black faces and panic-stricken expressions.

That night, the bandits who were guarding the gate were exhausted. Waves of bandits came one after another and they had no time to rest.

I might as well just keep my eyes open and wait until dawn.

The mountains are quiet and peaceful, but the village is not.

Tonight is the first time that goods are properly released at the foot of the mountain. The heads of the business have not slept the whole night as they are all in the Juxian Hall listening to the news.

There was no signal from the people at the foot of the mountain, and they went from being as steady as a rock at first to gradually becoming impatient, and finally couldn't help but take turns going out to stand.

An anxious atmosphere permeated the entire night.

The eldest boss Wan Lichun was not there. The second in command was named Lin Diao. He was wrapped in a fur jacket and sat on a tiger-skin armchair with a normal expression. Behind him was a knife fan with several sharp blades hanging on the wall, which looked very murderous.

The left and right sides of the Juxian Hall were filled with the leaders of various halls who had a say in the village. Only at the first two tables and chairs on the lower left side, there were two "guests" who were obviously dressed like outsiders.

The two men were dressed in black waistcoats and looked ordinary, but their faces were serious and their words were cautious. They sat upright on the chairs. Even their postures were completely different from those of the brothers in other villages. Lin Diao glanced at the jade pendants hanging around their waists, a dark gleam of contempt flashed in his eyes, he raised his head, and instantly put on another impeccable smile.

"Since you have come from afar, you really don't need to stay here to keep up with the news. We, the Qinglong Gang, have been on the route down the mountain so many times, and have never had any problems? You might as well take a rest first. Once this batch of goods is shipped out smoothly, I will ask the brothers to go and invite you." After saying that, he raised his chin and gestured outside, "It's late at night, it's inconvenient to tire yourself out."

"Don't worry, Second Master. Since we two brothers are here in the name of our master, we must fulfill our duties and responsibilities and complete the important tasks assigned by our master. This batch of goods has been shipped a little late. If you need our help, just ask."

Lin Diao smiled upon hearing this, "Then I, Lin Diao, would like to express my gratitude in advance! If there is really anything I cannot do, I hope you two adults can help me."

"nature."

All the villagers in the room knew the polite words from both sides and that the chat was boring, but they all had their own thoughts and didn't want to be the tactless ones, so they all laughed along, ate and drank.

But there will always be a time when you have enough of wine and meat.

"It's already this late, why haven't you come back yet? If there's no movement, it will be dawn soon." Someone's face was red from drinking and he was getting impatient waiting.

Lin Diao gave the two people from the capital a fake smile, turned around and gave a look to the person next to him. The person understood and went over with the wine pot to play finger-guessing games with the man.

Everyone's eyes were in the air, communicating silently.

Some lowered their heads to eat meat, while others went outside to "get some fresh air".

"We don't know when the boss will come back. He's almost the only one who has the final say in this room." Someone outside complained in a low voice.

The person next to him immediately rebuked him and reminded him in a low voice, "Say less."

The man turned around and looked inside, his thick eyebrows twisted together, and he groaned.

"It's just a fake, it's an endless show."

"Ugh."

"Boss, when are you coming back? Damn it, are we robbers or porters?"

"It only happens once a month. Just bear with it and it will pass."

"I can't stand it anymore. I'm not allowed to move this or that. I have to listen to them like a dog. No, I didn't like serving them back then, so I went up the mountain. What are you doing now? It's better for me to take my brothers down the mountain to rob them. I can get more money and girls!" "Shh - stop talking."

"Tsk, what can't be said? Look at him. Without the big boss, Qinglong Village has become his!" The angry branch leader waved his arm, "I'm too lazy to drink in that room for fear of choking. When the big boss left, he clearly said that he would rob people first and then release the goods. He took people to investigate and left him in charge of the village to deal with those idiots, but he went ahead and discussed it with others. Ouch! Ouch! My head hurts."

"The second in command is capable and may have his own ideas, otherwise the first in command would not have handed the village over to him to manage."

"Come on! What kind of ability does he have? He can recognize two characters and do some grammar, and he thinks he is capable? He hasn't even touched a hair of a scholar, so why is he pretending to be a figurehead in the village? There are many people who can read, and there are a lot of educated people locked up in the side village. He acts like he has so much ability, tut!"

"Look at you. The more I pull you, the more excited you get. What's the matter? I won't let you go down the mountain. Are you holding back?"

"I'm holding it in! The wife I stole last time couldn't stand the torture and is gone."

"..."

"If you don't let me go down the mountain, I'll go to the side village and pick one, right?"

"If you touch the goods over there, be careful that the boss will chop off your head."

"Tsk——" Irritated!
The moon was covered by dark clouds, and in Qinglong Village, it was a world of ice and fire.

The brothers who failed to deliver the goods from the river ran all the way back to the stronghold. Before daybreak, they howled all the way from the stronghold gate to Juxian Hall, and knelt down in front of the leaders.

"Boss! Something terrible has happened! There's a ghost down there!"

"what?!"

In an instant, everyone was shocked!

When the village was in turmoil, Han Qiguang quietly mixed into the group returning to the mountain and entered the village before daybreak.

Zhao Gong, who had received the letter long ago, waited near the village gate for a long time and "took" him back to his residence.

As soon as Han Qiguang entered the room, Zhao Gong hurriedly bolted the door.

There was an accident in the village, and lights were turned on in many houses nearby.

Zhao Gong asked, "Master, shall we light the lamps as well?"

"Wait a minute, let me and Brother Wuying exchange identities first. When someone comes, just pretend to be asleep."

"it is good."

There is light outside and it's not too dark in the room.

Han Qiguang was very skilled in disguise and he quickly restored his identity in Qinglong Village.

By the way, Xie Wuying, who looked eager to try, was given an ordinary bandit makeup so that he could blend in inconspicuously in the bandit's lair.

A handsome face suddenly became featureless. Xie Wuying looked in the mirror at the rustic face and felt indescribable.

"I was thinking about performing for them tomorrow night in front of Brother Han."

Han Qiguang stroked his disguised beard and said with a smile: "The situation has changed. You don't need to act. They will be scared to death by the generosity of your family god in a moment."
