Chapter 57 Hidden Shadow 4(1/2)

"It seems that this place is indeed not simple." Ah Hui rarely learned to draw conclusions.

"You're not talking nonsense." I rolled my eyes at him, "What about you, have you found out any news?"

"There is no intuitive and useful information at the moment, but I remembered one thing." Tao Weiyang said, "I heard Mingya say before that Yu Rumeng is an orphan. Well, no, it should be said that she is a widow. Many years ago, Yu Ru Meng

Meng’s parents disappeared.

Not only him, I discovered yesterday that there are very few older Miao people in the village, basically all of them are under the age of forty. The few older Miao people, except for the leader, are the elders of the Black Miao Village.

.

But we had no chance to enter the village, and it was even more difficult to meet the elders.

From what you said, I think it is very likely that most of the Miao people died in the civil strife a few decades ago, and those who are left now are the orphans from that time."

I suddenly thought of a possibility: "Could it be that those corpses we saw in the dungeon were people who knew about the civil strife back then.

If you think about it, the youngest wrecks we saw in the dungeon were teenagers. They could already remember a lot of things at that time, so someone wanted to kill someone to silence them.

Judging from this situation, it is very likely that the traitor is still in the Miao village."

"Maybe he's dead? After all, it's been decades."

"No, he is still alive." I told them that Shang Qingyun was investigating our assassination, and mentioned that there were traces of Tongyuan on the flying knives. "My grandfather told me that the Miao people's martial arts are very fierce.

, they don’t bother to use concealed weapons or anything like that.”

"Isn't there a Tang Sect in Sichuan?" Ah Hui said.

"You should read less martial arts novels. The point is not the martial arts of the Miao people, but why they want to kill us. Obviously someone doesn't want us to investigate Tongyuan. Senior Liu Sa is here, he is a descendant of the Ninth Family.

, they were afraid that the Ninth Family would find out about Tongyuan’s undercover agent.

This shows that there are still people from Tongyuan in Miao Village."

"Then who do you think is most likely?"

"What's the point? It must be You Rumeng! That guy is thinking of ways to kill us, it's obvious how serious he is!" Er Pang jumped up.

"We can't jump to conclusions. Which undercover agent has such obvious intentions? If he wants to kill us, if we have a chance to make a comeback, won't he be exposed? And give us so much time to investigate? I always feel that You Rumeng's position is a bit strange.

"

I'm not defending You Rumeng, but until now, I always feel that You Rumeng was deliberately letting off steam.

I looked at Tao Weiyang. She was the one who knew You Rumeng best. She had the best say in whether You Rumeng might be a traitor.

Tao Weiyang tapped her cheek with her finger and thought for a long time: "Well - actually, I have only known You Rumeng for less than a year. Although Mingya and I are little sisters, she has never introduced You Rumeng to me.

, I also only know that she has a boyfriend from an ethnic minority.

Until a year ago, You Rumeng suddenly appeared and invited Mingya and I to come to Miao Village."

"Wait a minute, you said he invited you to come to the Miao Village?"

"Yes, otherwise how could I possibly know the way here."

No, this point is very important.

This shows that Yu Rumeng is not an exclusive person, and his attitude towards us is inspired or guided by someone.

This person is most likely Tongyuan's undercover agent.

"Go on."

"You Rumeng, although he usually looks very cold and has a bad mouth, which makes people afraid to approach him, he is actually quite warm. Otherwise, it would be impossible to pick up Mingya."

Thinking of that carefree girl, I can probably understand the way Yu Rumeng gets along with her.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of the girl named An Lingran I met in Emei.

In fact, we are just acquainted.

But I just don't know why, I think of her.

I immediately pulled my thoughts back.

Then continued to listen to Tao Weiyang say: "Anyway, my impression is that You Rumeng is a very old-fashioned person. It is impossible for us to plead with him. But I don't think it is credible to say that he is a traitor."

"Old-fashioned? Doesn't that rule out the possibility of him being angry if we break into the Miao village privately?"

"It's true. I heard from Mingya that they used to study at the same university. When the class applied for a scholarship, a rich second generation competed with a child from a single-parent family in their class for a spot. Yu Rumeng went and beat him up.

Because of this incident, he was detained on probation for half a year."

"Hey, you can't tell that you are quite upright."

"The most important thing is that You Rumeng is only in his twenties. According to the time, it has nothing to do with the internal fighting decades ago, right?"

I did ignore this question.

You Rumeng's age does not match, but this does not rule out the suspicion that he was ordered to assassinate us.

"Brothers, we are going to meet the leader of the Miao village this afternoon. I want to take a gamble." I shared my thoughts with the others.

We don't have much time. If we continue to check slowly, we may be disappointed before the results are found.

Shang Qingyun led me to find the cave and clues to the internal fighting decades ago, so I have a bargaining chip.

People in this village are all orphans, but that doesn't mean they don't miss their parents.

We ate, nourished ourselves, and slept in the cell all morning.

At noon, Yu Rumeng indeed brought someone here.

He took me out alone, leaving Erpang and the four of them alone.

I have already taken this into consideration. When discussing countermeasures in the morning, I thought about this situation, such as taking away a few people and leaving a few behind; taking them all away; taking only me.

We even calculated how we should implement the plan under their tightest guard.

But things were beyond my expectation.

I had never thought that the Miao people were so careless about taking precautions. In addition to setting up sentries at the door of the prison, all the guards patrolling the streets were withdrawn, and all the Miao people gathered in the main hall of the village.

The Miao people stood densely around the hall. In the middle of the hall, there was a depression under the floor, similar to a large pot on the stove.

My hands were tied and I stood in the pot. This situation was a bit like a three-chamber trial, but more like a crab being placed in the pot, surrounded by hungry wolf-like eyes.

Although I had a good plan and was prepared to take a gamble and make a desperate move. But if I really had to face so many Miao people alone, I was not a martial arts master like Shang Qingyun, so I always felt guilty.

"Tell me, what are you doing in my Miao village?" You Rumeng stood next to the leader's throne and pointed at me condescendingly.

"I'm going to die, does it matter?"

"explain!"

The surrounding Miao people shouted loudly.

"Okay, I'll treat you."

"Cure?"

I raised my hand: "I've been hit by a poison. I heard that only you, Black Miao, can cure this poison."

You Rumeng sneered: "Then you've come to the wrong place. They won't cure you here, they will only send you to see the gods."

"I have one more thing."

"What's up?"

"I'm here to return something." I opened my palm, which was the three-legged golden crow that Shang Qingyun caught from Qinglong Lake.

When they saw what was in their hands, everyone in the house was in an uproar.

Even the high-ranking Miao leaders stood up.

You Rumeng's expression was solemn: "Where did you get it from?"

Seeing these people's reactions, my heart sank. Sure enough, I was right about this bet. This thing is very important to the Miao people.

"I can take you there."

"Why should I trust you?"

"You don't have to believe me, but you don't want to know about your parents," I looked around at the Miao people, "and you! Where have your family been all these years?"

After saying this, I paused and observed everyone's expressions.

After someone translated this sentence to the Miao people, most of them had blank expressions on their faces, including You Rumeng.

Apart from the leader, I didn’t see any Miao elders present.

So almost no one showed any different expressions. Only the leader frowned slightly. I didn't understand what he was worried about.

Now that everyone's doubts have been mobilized by me, all they need to do is fan the flames.

"To tell you the truth, there is an undercover agent among you, and this person once brought disaster to your village. I already know who that person is! He is -"

I deliberately protracted my voice, waiting for the undercover to kill me and silence me.

But the other party's psychological quality is very high and he is unmoved.

"Chen Siyu, I warn you, don't sow discord!" You Rumeng glared at me, "Okay, I will go with you. If you can't produce evidence, I will kill you on the spot to sacrifice to the gods."
To be continued...
