Chapter 105 Believe it or not, I'll blow your head off.
Cao Shaoqin was too lazy to bother with Qian Wucai. No wonder people in the martial arts world called him "the one who reaches out of his coffin to beg for money." It seems that there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names!
But then I thought about it, and it's really strange how this Valley of Bliss has all sorts of oddballs. How can someone like this become one of the Five Wanderers of Bliss?!
"Ok?"
After Cao Shaoqin came to his senses, he saw his subordinates still standing there in a daze, and he was immediately furious. What are you doing listening to this instead of doing your work?
He then angrily shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Go and search this place thoroughly! In this vast desert, could Zhou Huai'an really just vanish into thin air?! Since there's no trace of him in the inn, there must be a secret passage!"
Upon hearing Cao Shaoqin's outburst, his men immediately ordered the black-clad archers to dismount and conduct another thorough search.
Just a moment.
"Young Commander, a secret room has been discovered in the basement of the Dragon Gate Inn. It appears to be a slaughterhouse, and some bones have been found nearby!"
"It's just a shady business."
Cao Shaoqin was not surprised to hear this news.
The Eastern Depot already knew everything about Longmen Inn and Jin Xiangyu.
Although the Eastern Depot's intelligence is slightly weaker than that of the Dragon Guard Manor, that is only true for some major powers.
How could a minor character like Jin Xiangyu possibly hide his dirty deeds from the Eastern Depot?
His main objective this time was to capture Zhou Huai'an and force him to reveal where Yang Yuxuan's military tally was hidden.
I've heard that our old rival, Dragon Guard Manor, has also sent experts. We must get there before them!
Thinking of this, a ruthless glint appeared in Cao Shaoqin's eyes, and he immediately gave an order: "The secret passage must be hidden in that secluded corner. Pass on my command to completely demolish the Dragon Gate Inn!"
"I'd like to see where Zhou Huai'an can hide!"
......
A fierce argument was taking place in the dimly lit secret passage.
The people arguing were none other than the waiters of Longmen Inn and Zhou Huai'an and his group.
Zhou Huai'an felt that given Cao Shaoqin's style of doing things, it was only a matter of time before he found the entrance to the secret passage. Even if they turned the entire Longmen Inn upside down, Cao Shaoqin would do anything to find his trail!
It's often said that the person who understands you best might not be your friend, but your enemy.
After Zhou Huai'an shared his thoughts with everyone, he also offered a suggestion.
The idea is that after we exit the secret passage, we should split up to increase our chances of escaping.
This statement immediately provoked the dissatisfaction of Jin Xiangyu and others.
After all, their shady business was doing just fine, and it wasn't until Zhou Huai'an and his group came and started causing trouble at the inn.
How could things have come to this? This week, not only is Huai'an not protecting them, but it seems they want to abandon them as well.
If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred to help the Eastern Depot take down Zhou Huai'an and the others. Now I regret it a bit.
"Master Zhou! You're the ones who brought this Eastern Depot upon yourselves. We brothers haven't done anything!"
In this situation, shouldn't you go out and draw their fire to create a way out for the brothers?
"That's right. If you ask me, Hei Zi, one should take responsibility for one's actions. With your high level of martial arts, go out and lure the people from the Eastern Depot away. Only then will you truly deserve the title of a great hero!"
"@$%$@"
“Let me translate. My brother, Diao Buyu, speaks Tatar, and he says I’m right!”
Listening to what his men were saying, Zhou Huai'an felt extremely annoyed.
If it weren't for preserving his image as a chivalrous hero, and also wanting to use these men as cannon fodder,
These people wouldn't even have a chance to bark and howl like this; they would have been sent to their deaths with a single sword strike long ago!
"What are you barking about, you little babbler?! If you keep babbling on, believe me, I'll smash your head in!"
He Hu roared angrily, "I've lost my underwear in this deal!"
With his brothers all dead except for himself and Tie Zhu, and himself covered in injuries, he had been itching to vent his anger somewhere for a long time.
Hearing these guys grumbling and complaining again only fueled his anger.
If any of these guys dared to utter another word, he would make sure they saw what the Helan Mountain Duo were all about!
When the men saw He Hu's eyes wide with rage, looking like he wanted to devour someone,
A sudden tightness gripped them, and they immediately fell silent, shrinking their necks and subtly moving closer to the proprietress, Jin Xiangyu.
Although they possessed some martial arts skills, they were only good at bullying people who had been drugged; they were no match for a bandit like He Hu.
Upon seeing this, He Hu grinned widely, his sarcasm obvious.
"I'm not afraid of you!"
Jin Xiangyu glared at He Hu and the others with murderous intent in her beautiful eyes, and said in a deep voice, "My men are right! You are the ones who brought this Eastern Depot here, and now you're even using my secret passage. You're getting too cocky with me?"
However, although the two sides blamed each other, they tacitly ignored Shan Tianxie and his two companions.
After all, they could tell whether they would die sooner or later. If they offended Shan Tianxie and the other two, by the time Cao Shaoqin found them, the seven-day mourning period would have already passed.
"The shopkeeper is right. It is I, Zhou Huai'an, who have implicated you all."
Zhou Huai'an gave a wry smile, then clasped his hands in a respectful greeting to those around him.
"What that brother said earlier is also true. One should take responsibility for one's actions. I will be the first to charge out and draw away the lackeys of the Eastern Depot. Mo Yan! I'm entrusting the children to you!"
Dan Tianxie glanced at Zhou Huai'an in surprise. Hmm? Could it be that he's changed his ways? Zhou Huai'an doesn't seem like such a virtuous and upright person to me. But what happened next made him understand instantly.
"Huai'an!"
Hearing this, Qiu Moyan looked at Zhou Huai'an with deep affection and said, "You have the highest martial arts skills and need to protect Minister Yang's bloodline. How can you do such a dangerous thing? Let me do it!"
"No! Mo Yan, how can I let you die in my place!"
Zhou Huai'an rejected Qiu Moyan without hesitation, but Shan Tianxie noticed a glint in his eyes.
"Huai'an, wake up! Right now, you're the only one with the best chance of escaping with the child, aren't you?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of reluctance flashed in Zhou Huai'an's eyes, but it vanished without a trace in an instant.
Seeing that Zhou Huai'an remained silent and was clearly wavering, Qiu Moyan quickly continued to persuade him earnestly.
"Mo Yan is just a woman from the martial arts world, but you are different! There are still many things waiting for you to do, and you still need to seek justice for Lord Yang! How can you die here?"
"Mo Yan! I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have gotten involved in this..."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Huai'an looked guilty and dared not look Qiu Moyan in the eye.
"However, as you also know, Lord Yang has been incredibly kind to me, and his bloodline would never be harmed in my hands, Zhou Huai'an's hands!"
"It's alright, Huai'an, I understand. It was all my own choice. Mo Yan is willing to die for the righteous path of the martial world, and he has no regrets even in death!"
