Chapter 1270 - 563: Not Much_2
Ding Hui is willing to divert his efforts to research some things for Fang Yu.
Qin Er cried out in pain, already scared enough to step back two steps, posing a pitiful appearance, clutching the wound on her arm, lowering her head and said.
"Sir, two sirs, I am just a newcomer to the rebel army. With my status, I shouldn’t be able to see the higher-ups... Before the mission started, they told me I only needed to report in writing. This time they let me go to Jiuyang Temple, probably intending for me to write the information as a letter and put it in the temple’s incense box... So they probably don’t plan to contact me directly."
Qin Er did not expect the rebel army to rescue her, but she also couldn’t put her life on the moral standards of these two people in front of her.
So she has to find a way to save herself.
The rebel army doesn’t care about her, but the scarred man definitely cares about her.
The scarred man’s pathological care, wanting to have her determined to practice martial arts, definitely won’t abandon her.
So as long as she added some little contents to the report letter, made it into secret words, and let the scarred man discover, he should figure out a way to rescue her...
The scarred man is not very powerful, but he is free, can find a way to get others to deal with these two people, increasing her chance to escape.
Moreover, Jiuyang Temple is quite large and popular. If she can make use of the crowd, there is a chance of escaping.
Life and death are at stake, and Qin Er thought a lot.
But the couple did not seem to pay much attention to Qin Er’s words.
Whether it was the content of the letter or the issue of not being able to see the direct leader, they seemed quite calm.
"Is that so? It doesn’t matter, just write the letter and follow it, then we’ll set off together to take a look at Jiuyang Temple."
Fang Yu’s words, although making Qin Er suspicious, she still nodded in agreement.
Soon, the three of them left the inn.
However, just after the three of them left, a whole group of soldiers came to the inn.
"Sir, sir? What happened?"
The shopkeeper’s face turned pale with fear.
Rows of soldiers were carrying large boxes, and just by their appearance, you could tell the items inside were definitely valuable.
But, but how could his little inn have anything to do with these fools from the Underworld?
To say they were there to seal his inn, this show of force seemed a bit excessive...
The shopkeeper was quite clear about the status of his own inn.
"It’s none of your business here, today the inn is booked by the Foolish Underworld."
Song Zhenrong tossed a few taels of silver to the shopkeeper, almost making the shopkeeper miss catching it.
The Foolish Underworld is notoriously domineering, and paying for guest lodgings is almost unheard of.
Could it be...
"Excuse me, is this gentleman... Song Zhenrong, Captain Song?"
Song Zhenrong raised his brow slightly; the small innkeeper actually knew him?
"Did the esteemed guest on the second floor mention me?"
The esteemed guest on the second floor?
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded again. He only occasionally heard that Captain Song is one of the few good people in the Foolish Underworld, even if he damaged something during the investigation, compensation would be paid as promised, quite trustworthy.
As for who the esteemed guest on the second floor was... he had no idea.
Seeing the shopkeeper’s reaction, Song Zhenrong naturally got a rough idea of the situation.
He wasn’t planning on leaving either, his sister was taken care of by Miracle Doctor Mo and others at home, so he had no worries.
This time he came to the inn to fulfill his promise and deliver the reward to Ding Hui.
However, he had already gone upstairs to check, but Ding Hui and others were not in the inn, although their basic luggage was still there, so Song Zhenrong decided to wait at the inn.
But the waiting brought an unexpected person.
"Amit...abha."
That was a monk, dust-covered, accompanied by a woman!
A monk and a woman together was rare, and this inn was already occupied by his subordinates, the Foolish Underworld troops standing at the entrance were enough to deter ordinary people.
Yet the monk dared to come, fearless as if he had nothing to worry about.
Was it merely a fearlessness in facing death, or... did he possess some hidden support?
"Where did this monk come from, get lost!"
"Stinky monk, begging for alms? Can’t you see we’re the Foolish Underworld handling matters here!"
Before Song Zhenrong said anything, his men were already trying to kick them out.
This scene made the innkeeper sigh internally; it’s easier to see the King Yan, but harder to deal with his minions.
Although Captain Song was good-natured, his subordinates were exactly like the Foolish Underworld should be—arrogant, domineering, and egotistical...
Despite being cursed to get lost, the monk kept a good demeanor and didn’t mind.
But the woman beside the monk was immediately displeased.
"Oh↑oh↑oh~ the Foolish Underworld thinks it’s so impressive, if it weren’t for some of you looking good, I wouldn’t let my pigeon↑pigeon↓ come over!"
This comment, half critical and half praise, left many confused.
Song Zhenrong stood up at this time and walked toward the two.
"Master, what are you here for?"
Song Zhenrong showed politeness; Monk Quan Heng then saluted.
"Officer, I’d like to know how to get to the An Mansion?"
An Mansion? There are many An Mansions in Thunder City, but by default, they all refer to the An Family among the Ten Major Families.
And this kind of question, anyone asked on the street could give a clear answer.
After a brief hesitation, Song Zhenrong said.
"You look unfamiliar, not from here, are you? How about I have my men guide you, Master?"
With palms together, Monk Quan Heng smiled and said.
"Thank you very much, Officer."
After arranging for his trusted men, giving them a subtle signal, instructing them to keep an eye on this strange monk, Song Zhenrong watched the peculiar duo leave, pondering.
The Defiled Blood Clone Demon, as a demon, possesses the most basic ability of demons—to devour others and wear their skin.
Last night, his sister barely escaped from the hands of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon, and he had a short confrontation with it.
It’s possible... this stranger is the Defiled Blood Clone Demon’s new skin!
Song Zhenrong narrowed his eyes, planning to deploy people to keep a close watch on the monk and the woman.
Thunder City’s locals were well-documented, leaving traces of their past.
Previously, the Defiled Blood Clone Demon was frequently exposed because it devoured locals and people found it out as a sign of Blue Blood Disease, leading to its exposure.
So Song Zhenrong boldly speculated that the Defiled Blood Clone Demon’s new disguise might choose outsiders, reducing the risk of discovery by people from the Foolish Underworld.
Song Zhenrong felt like his reasoning was quite logical, so he paid more attention to outsiders.
As for Brother Diao and Divine Doctor Ding, after last night’s events, they were mostly considered half-loyal to him.
Not to mention the Defiled Blood Clone Demon, it was uncertain even if he could deal with Brother Diao.
With Brother Diao protecting Divine Doctor Ding, the Defiled Blood Clone Demon naturally wouldn’t have any chances.
Thinking about it, Song Zhenrong remembered Captain Che; considering the Defiled Blood Clone Demon’s vengeful nature, maybe its next target was the pregnant Captain Che.
Captain Che’s strength had already declined significantly after getting pregnant, becoming an easy target...
Thinking about this, Song Zhenrong felt restless.
"But Captain Che, due to pregnancy, aside from going on missions, rarely goes out, shouldn’t be at risk..."
...
"Bald Pigeon↑Pigeon↓, do you think there were also people from Tianyuan Town coming to Thunder City?"
While the Foolish Underworld members led the way, Guo Yuxin pressed her chest against Monk Quan Heng’s back and whispered a question.
But her query was answered with a mere calm ’Amitabha’.
"Bald Pigeon↑Pigeon↓ acting mysterious, I already noticed earlier when I said the soldiers in the inn resemble acquaintances from Tianyuan Town, you moved over immediately, Bald Pigeon↑Pigeon↓, do you miss that little soldier from the Foolish Underworld in Tianyuan Town?"
