Chapter 154 Paying Money and Asking for Gold
In the early hours of the morning, the torches surrounding the village wall dyed half the sky red.
In the center of the village, there is a long table that can accommodate more than ten or twenty people.
Next to it was a burning fire, on which was a roasted lamb with only half of its body left.
Sitting at the front of the long table were two tough-looking men, one old and one young.
"Uncle Bin, why are you acting so strangely today? You let Prince Jin be taken away. Isn't this your usual style?"
Niu Yongfu poured wine into the porcelain bowl in front of Wang Bin and changed the subject.
Hearing this, Wang Bin's mouth curled down, he sighed lightly, picked up the full bowl of wine, and drank half of it in one gulp.
He pressed the wine bowl heavily on the table, and then said, "About half a month ago, our Yan Army's spies discovered that the fog blocking the outer perimeter of the Valley of Withered Souls would slowly dissipate at midnight."
"Is there such a thing?" Niu Yongfu's face was full of shock. He had also heard that the fog outside the Valley of Withered Souls never dissipates all year round.
"Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Marquis arranged a roundup. Everything went smoothly and they successfully captured a team that was delivering food to the mountain. But the King of Jin wanted to gain merit and insisted on leading people to hunt down the escaped people."
As he spoke, Wang Bin slammed the table hard and continued, "He led his men into the fog, but the poisonous fog suddenly gathered. In order to survive, he asked our Yan family army to give all the detoxification pills they carried to him and his guards."
"This detoxification pill has a limited effect, it can only last for a quarter of an hour at most. He and his guards escaped unscathed, but none of the Yan family soldiers who went with him survived."
After listening to General Wang, Niu Yongfu was also very angry. He clenched his fist and cursed: "This beast, not only did he not obey the military order, but he also killed so many people."
"That's right. The Marquis was also very angry, but he was a prince after all, so he couldn't be easily executed. He could only give him fifty military sticks as a punishment. Who knew that the Ye family would gather a group of people to stop him. The Marquis had no choice but to report it to the court first. Calculating the time, the memorial should be arriving in the capital soon."
As he spoke, General Wang picked up the remaining wine in the bowl, drank it all, wiped the corner of his mouth, and smiled.
"God has eyes. I don't know how he offended Lin Mei Niang and was taken away by this devil. He will suffer for it."
On the roof of the earthen house directly opposite the two men, there was a strange palm-sized machine, which broadcast their conversation in real time to the person operating the drone.
"This Prince Jin really deserves it." After hearing what they said, Fan Tong was also very angry and cursed in a low voice.
Seeing that he had no intention of controlling the drone to fly somewhere else, Jiang Si became a little annoyed. She nudged him with her elbow and scolded him in a low voice.
"What does the King of Jin have to do with you? Fly over there and find where they hide their things."
After being scolded by his wife, Fan Tong, who wanted to continue listening to what they were saying, could only control the drone to change direction.
As soon as I turned the direction, a familiar figure appeared in the camera.
"The man in black robe?"
Jiang Si and Fan Tong both cried out in surprise when they saw the dark shadow hidden in the tree behind the village.
The man in black robe had his hat brim pulled very low and had a mask on his face. The camera was so far away that even his eyes could not be seen.
Although they didn't see his eyes, both of them noticed that the black-robed man was staring at the drone.
In order to verify what the two people thought, Fan Tong controlled the drone to fly in another direction. Sure enough, the cloak of the man in black robe turned and his sight followed.
"Don't worry about him. Keep looking."
Just look at it, it's just a blast to see, he doesn't know what it is.
Fan Tong didn't quite agree in his heart, but he continued to carry out Jiang Si's orders.
He just hoped that the man in black robe would not attack his drone.
No action on drones?
This was of course impossible. Just as Fan Tong was controlling the drone to fly to another roof, it was attacked from the flank.
Judging from the sound, it's most likely stones.
The drone spun and fell onto the roof. From the chaotic scene, it can be judged that it was the man in black robe who did it.
Because when the camera scanned him, his hand was still in the air, and the direction it was facing was exactly where the drone fell.
The rumbling sound caused by the drone falling and hitting the roof instantly attracted the attention of the group of people drinking in the center of the village, and they all looked in the direction where the drone fell.
"Damn it, you ruined my plan." Jiang Si stood up suddenly and looked in the direction of the village.
At this moment, all the bandits on the high walls of the mountain village looked in the direction where the drone fell.
Jiang Si rushed over quickly and took out a tool from the space. It was an iron hook. Jiang Si pressed lightly on the handle, and the claw immediately flew out and firmly hooked the stone wall above.
Jiang Si pressed her claws again, and the chain connecting to the top quickly shortened, bringing Jiang Si up with her.
Such a huge noise immediately attracted the attention of the bandits standing guard on the wall.
"Someone broke into the village."
Following the loud shout of one of the bandits, dozens of eyes fell on Jiang Si from all directions of the mountain village.
Fan Tong, who just reacted at this moment, rushed over quickly, and used the momentum of his running to climb over the wall.
Facing the bandits who were surrounding them, Jiang Si didn't even look at them. She took out a submachine gun from the space and fired a volley of bullets in the direction of the man in black robe.
After a burst of gunfire, the bandits on the path were so scared that they all fell to the ground, and the people below covered their ears.
"Get out of here, come out."
Jiang Si shouted loudly and then fired two shots into the air.
Niu Yongfu, who was at the foot of the wall, clapped his buzzing ears and looked up at the two people who suddenly appeared on the high wall.
"Why are you here?" Niu Yongfu asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Jiang Si rolled her eyes at him and didn't say anything. Seeing that there was no movement in the woods at the back hill, she pointed her gun in the direction of the big tree where the man in black robe had been.
"What kind of weapon is this? It's quite powerful."
A cold and hoarse male voice sounded from the opposite side of the big tree where Jiang Si's gun was pointed.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man in a black robe standing on the roof.
It turns out he ran to the other side. No wonder I missed him.
Jiang Si turned and looked at the man in black robe. The face that was always smiling turned cold and the tone was extremely cold.
"Compensate!"
Man in black robe: "..."
Niu Yongfu and others below were also full of questions. You just acted so domineeringly and forced people out, just to ask for money?
"The things you just broke are worth millions. Pay me in gold."
Seeing that the man in black robe did not respond, Jiang Si spoke again, and specifically emphasized that he wanted gold.
The man in black robe turned his head to look in the direction where the drone crashed. The face under the cloak, which was invisible to everyone, was very dark at this moment.
"can."
After a long time, two words came out of his mouth, and his voice was still very cold.
