The mountain wind blew, and the weather was very cold.
The young man raised his head and looked into the distance.
There was a bright white light on the horizon, but the thick clouds above his head were black like ink.
As Zhang Xiu said just now, the heavy rain tonight would probably not escape.
Fortunately, Bai Chi often walked outside, so the terrain he chose was very good.
All the caravans had tents on top of them.
In this way, even if it rained heavily, it would not hinder his rest.
"Ling'er, that's not a good idea." Outside a huge tent, Tong Ying deliberately lowered her voice and said to Tong Ling, "If someone else finds out, then..."
Tong Ling also lowered her voice and gently leaned her face against the tent.
"Oh, why are you so fussy?
I've long disliked Deng Mao.
Today, he even provoked eldest brother in public.
He must have something up his sleeve.
If you don't figure it out, how can you sleep well tonight?" The voice inside came into Tong Ling's ears clearly.
Tong Ying didn't dare to say that there was some selfishness in Tong Ling's words, but he was also a little bit confused about today's Dengmao's words and deeds.
Originally, under natural disasters and man-made disasters, everyone should work together to help each other get through the difficulties of the city.
However, this person took this opportunity to swear to his companions.
It was hard to say whether there was a conspiracy in it.
Therefore, Tong Ying didn't say much and just like Tong Ling, he put his head on the tent to listen to the voices inside.
"Have you arranged everything well tonight?" A man's voice came from inside.
Tong Ying and Tong Ling looked at each other and obviously recognized that it was Deng Mao's voice.
"Reporting to the coach, everything is ready." This time it was Bai Chi who spoke, and his voice was full of respect, which made Tong Ying more confused in his heart.
A manager of such a large chamber of commerce of the Bai Corporation was so polite to the vagrant who had been invited by him, which was itself intriguing.
"That's good.
When you succeed, I will ask the Sect Master for credit for you." Deng Mao's words were full of confidence under his control.
"Such a great contribution.
After the Sect Master takes over the world, you will be a meritorious official.
The high officials and rich salaries will definitely be yours."
"Thank you, Your Eminence!
Thank you, Your Eminence!
I'll never forget your great kindness!" Bai Chi's words were full of flattery.
"This time, it's all due to your wonderful tricks.
Otherwise, how could you succeed in one stroke?
Speaking of it, Your Eminence, you should be the first credit!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha..." Their maniacal laughter filled the tent, and when it reached the duo's ears, they felt a surge of disgust.
"Well, lead that embroidery to the back hill later.
I'll take care of it myself..." Deng Mao said with a pause.
"Ah, they're going to deal with First Senior Brother!" Tong Ling was so agitated that she forgot to lower her voice.
"Who is it?
Come out!" Deng Mao and Bai Chi found the problem at the same time and turned their eyes to Tong Ying and Tong Ling, who were eavesdropping.
"Oh no, let's go!" Tong Ying's face turned cold as he grabbed Tong Ling's hand and ran.
"The teacher?" By the time Deng Mao and Bai Chi came out, the two boys had already left quietly at night.
Bai Chi looked at Deng Mao and asked for his opinion.
"It doesn't matter.
You can act according to the original plan.
Remember that you just need to lure Zhang Xiu out." Deng Mao's eyes flickered and he seemed to be thinking about something.
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Bai Chi nodded and turned to leave.
"Are you serious?" In the tent, after listening to their narration, Zhang Xiu looked at Tong Ying.
"It's absolutely true.
Eldest Brother, you can't be tempted by that Bai old man tonight." Before Tong Ying could answer, Tong Ling had spoken first and said eagerly, "Brother Ying and I heard in person how the two men plotted against you, saying that they wanted to lure you to the back hill and that Deng Mao would deal with you personally!"
"Yes, Ling'er was right.
She and I heard it in person.
Eldest Senior Brother, you must be careful." Tong Ying echoed.
Zhang Xiu frowned, stood up and paced back and forth in the tent, without saying a word for a long time.
Tong Ling looked at him and couldn't help but anxiously say, "First Senior Brother, you can't hesitate anymore.
You should strike first!"
" preempt first?" Zhang Xiu stopped and glanced at Tong Ling.
She asked with a playful tone, "Junior Sister, what do you think we should do first?"
"Summon all the members of the caravan and the martial arts club to announce the conspiracy of those two people, and then drive them out!" Tong Ling was a little surprised, wondering why her senior brother, who used to be better than ordinary people, was indecisive and hesitant at this time.
"Do you really have solid evidence?" Zhang Xiu's face changed, and she asked coldly, "How can you judge whether he is true or not if you don't know the truth?
Without evidence, how can you let others believe you?
What's more, Bai Chi is the chief steward of the Bai's Trading Company, and he is a member of the Bai's Trading Company.
How do you want the people of the latter to believe that Bai Tai will harm you?
What's more, I have been friends with Mr.
Bai for several years, and I believe in him.
So you don't have to say anything more!"
"Eldest Senior Brother!" Tong Ling looked at the serious Zhang Xiu in disbelief.
She suddenly felt that she had said so much just now as if she were playing music with cows.
Zhang Xiu simply did not care.
Did he really want to sit still?
Was this the Eldest Senior Brother who was kind to her and obedient to her?
What's more, would his junior sister, who was as close as a family, lie to her?
Tong Ling felt aggrieved at the thought, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Unfortunately, Zhang Xiu turned away as if she didn't see her and didn't want to see her.
Tong Ling stamped her feet, covered her face, and ran out.
Tong Ying looked at Zhang Xiu, sighed, and quickly chased out.
"Junior Sister!
Junior Sister!" Tong Ying managed to catch up with Tong Ling, and her tears started to fall.
"Okay, don't cry, don't cry.
You're already a big girl, why are you crying your nose?
Aren't you afraid of being seen by others?" Tong Ying looked at Tong Ling, who was crying like a pear blossom.
She reached out her hand to help her wipe away the tears dripping from her face and comforted her softly.
Tong Ling wanted to glare at him, but when Tong Ying's hand gently touched her face, her face turned red and tears stopped.
"Eldest Senior Brother must have his own difficulties.
Don't blame him too much." Tong Ying thought for a moment and barely found an excuse for Zhang Xiu.
"Hmph, you're the only one who knows how to be a good person," Tong Ling said with a pout.
"You...shut!" Tong Ying smiled when she saw that Tong Ling was no longer crying.
She was about to say something when she caught a glimpse of a familiar voice coming from the corner of her eyes.
She lifted the curtains and entered.
"Bai Ji!" Tong Ying and Tong Ling looked at each other.
Tong Ying asked in a low voice, "What should we do now?"
"What do you mean?" Tong Ling stared at him again and said in a low voice, "Of course, we'll go after him later.
Do we have to leave First Senior Brother to take risks alone?"
"Oh, now you don't blame First Senior Brother?" Tong Ying said with a smile.
"Who said it's not his fault?" Tong Ling snorted and turned her head away.
"I'm just going to watch him fall into someone else's trap.
There's nothing to say."
"Alright.
How about this?
I'll go back and fetch my weapon first.
I'll act according to circumstances," said Tong Ying.
She knew she was trying to be brave again, but it was not the time to joke around.
After a moment of silence, she said softly, "If something unexpected happens later, it'll help you a lot."
Even so, Tong Ying sighed in his heart.
After all, their kung fu was mediocre, so it was not helpful for the overall situation.
Now he could only hope that his senior brother could discover the conspiracy of the other side earlier so that the whole matter would have enough room for conversions.
"Elder Bai, it's getting late.
What are you looking for me for?" Hearing the footsteps, Zhang Xiu opened her eyes slightly.
She couldn't help smiling when she saw that it was Bai Da.
"I really have something important to do, otherwise, I won't disturb you at this time." Bai Chi didn't seem to be in a good mood like Zhang Xiu, and he looked a little unfriendly.
"In that case, Elder Bai, you can order anyone to call me.
There is no need for you to come by yourself." Zhang Xiu slowly stood up with a smile on her face.
It seemed that she did not take Bai Chi's words seriously.
"I just got a reliable news that the yellow scarf thief from Yuzhou had taken a fancy to our merchant group and was ready to kill them!" Bai Hou pretended to look around for a moment.
He lowered his voice and said the "important task" word by word.
"Oh, Yuzhou?" Zhang Xiu raised her eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Our caravan is still in Province Province of Jing.
Has Yuzhou's yellow-scarved band been informed of this news?"
"It's absolutely true.
Someone among the caravan has already found a trace of a yellow-scarved thief on the hillside behind the mountain and reported it to me.
I think the scout has come to inquire about our authenticity." Bai Chi continued, "Just now I received news from Xu Chang that it was the Yichuan yellow scarf of Commander Peng Tuou, the commander of the Yellow-scarved Army..."
"I didn't expect Elder Bai to be so well-informed.
He even knows where this yellow scarf thief came from and who the leader is." Zhang Xiu suddenly interrupted, seemingly unintentional.
"This..." Bai Chi was slightly stunned.
His expression suddenly became a little unnatural.
After hesitating for a long time, he did not know how to reply.
"Haha, I've long heard of the Bai Clan's network of intelligence.
Now, it looks like it really lives up to its name." Zhang Xiu laughed as she clapped her hands.
"Thankfully, Elder Bai, you warned us in time.
If the day had been a sneak attack by the Yellow-scarved Fiends, I'm afraid that all of us would have been in danger."
"Youwei flatters me too much.
This is the only plan.
Look..." Bai Chi quietly brushed off the cold sweat on his neck and said.
He found that Zhang Xiu didn't seem to be suspicious, so he was ready to act according to the plan he had discussed with Deng Mao.
"Just now, you said that there was a trace of the yellow-scarved thief at the back of the mountain.
Let's not waste any more time.
I will walk with you right now and see if we can capture one or two yellow-scarved thief's spies.
We will then decide how many people the yellow-scarved thief from Yuzhou has come this time." Zhang Xiu waved her hand and turned around to take her long spear.
Filled with confidence, she said, "Let's go.
In the past few days, I've always met some small-hair thief.
I didn't even have the chance to do anything.
My skills are already itching."
Bai Chi was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted.
He tried to cover up the smile on the corner of his mouth and said hurriedly, "Okay, okay, I will lead the way for you, Youwei."
He immediately turned around, opened the curtains and went out.
He didn't expect that Zhang Xiu would volunteer to take the bait without saying the explanation he had prepared for a long time.
"Heaven is really helping me!"
