"How can that be done? Brother, we have sworn that we will share blessings and share hardships. If I don't leave, we will die together." The second leader said.
"Who said you're going to die?" the leader shouted, and then calmed down and said, "I'm afraid we really can't hold it this time. No matter how strong the Dragon Broken Stone is, it can't stop the artillery attack. Plus Peng Wu's betrayal , he knows where the secret passage is. If we don’t move quickly, the exit will be blocked, and none of us will be able to escape. Heifenggang will be lost, and the worst we can do is return to Qinglonggang to wait for a comeback in the future."
The second master said angrily: "We suspected this and that, but we didn't expect to suspect Peng Wu. I just can't figure it out. We didn't treat him badly, so how could he rebel?"
The leader sighed: "People's hearts are unpredictable."
"This brat, if I catch him, I will cut him into pieces." The second master scolded angrily.
"Okay, let's talk about this later. Just make preparations and leave today." The boss said.
"What about the third child?" the second master asked.
"Second brother, you and I are the real brothers. As for third child... we can't take away everyone in the village. Someone has to be here to take charge, otherwise none of us will be able to leave. Third child, he will ask for more." Bless you!"
Ye Jiayao felt angry when she heard this, "Nima, you have always doubted Chunyu before, but now you see that the stronghold is no longer able to be defended, but you just run for your own lives and let Chunyu serve as cannon fodder for you."
She was angry, but Ye Jiayao still knew her current situation. If the boss found out that she was eavesdropping, she would be doomed, so she quietly retreated to the entrance of the courtyard, and then shouted loudly: "Second brother, second brother..."
The head of the household walked out of the house, still looking sly and sinister, and said, "It's my younger siblings!"
"Brother, you are here too! I'm bringing food to my second brother." Ye Jiayao stepped forward with a smile.
The headmaster sighed slightly and said, "Give it to me. It just so happens that I have something to discuss with your second brother."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, big brother." Ye Jiayao handed the food box to the boss.
After taking two steps, he turned back: "Brother..."
The boss raised his eyebrows: "What else can I do for my brothers and sisters?"
Ye Jiayao hesitated and said: "I heard from Song Qi that Chunyu went to guard Panlong Ridge. Will he... be in danger?"
The master smiled and said: "The Broken Dragon Stone is indestructible, it is not so easy to attack."
Ye Jiayao patted her heart, as if breathing a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Then I'll be relieved."
Watching Ye Jiayao leave, the boss had a sinister smile on his lips.
After leaving the second master's residence, Ye Jiayao quickly went to find Aunt Jiang. Although she also met some people on the mountain, the only ones she truly trusted were Aunt Jiang and his wife. She had to pass on the news that the first master and the second master were running away to Chunyu. Let Chun Yuhao make other plans.
When Aunt Jiang heard about it, she was shocked: "Seriously?"
Ye Jiayao nodded seriously: "I heard it very clearly. You should quickly find a way to inform the third master! Otherwise we will all be doomed."
Aunt Jiang said hurriedly: "I'm going to find my old man right now."
Ye Jiayao added: "Don't make this matter public now. Just tell the third master quietly and let the third master make up his mind to avoid causing turmoil."
Aunt Jiang nodded solemnly: "I don't have to."
Xia Chunyu was deploying a battle plan. When he heard outside that Uncle Jiang was looking for him, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Uncle Jiang was one of his own who had grown up after going up the mountain. He had already ordered Uncle Jiang to guard the Broken Dragon Stone mechanism and wait for him. The order was given, but now Uncle Jiang has come running. Could it be that something big happened? Then he stepped back and invited Uncle Jiang to come in.
Uncle Jiang quietly relayed the news that Ye Jiayao heard to Xia Chunyu.
A trace of surprise flashed in Xia Chunyu's eyes, and he subconsciously called Song Qi.
Song Qi came in: "What are the orders from the third master?"
Xia Chunyu frowned and hesitated, telling himself again and again to calm down. This was a critical moment. One move could affect the whole body. One wrong step would lead to total loss. Any decision must be made with caution.
Xia Chunyu pondered: "The third lady said she heard it when she went to deliver food?"
Uncle Jiang recalled it carefully and affirmed: "My old lady said so."
A layer of doubt arose in Xia Chunyu's mind. There was always someone guarding the second master's house. Could they allow Yaoyao to eavesdrop? Unless no one was in the yard at the time, wouldn't that be too suspicious? The first master wanted to discuss such a confidential matter with the second master, but no one was guarding the door. He chose the time when Yaoyao was delivering food. Was it intentional for Yaoyao to hear or was it an oversight
If this was a trap and he rushed to intercept it rashly, wouldn't it reveal that he knew where the secret passage was, thereby exposing his identity
But if this news is true and the first and second masters escape, won't his hard work for the past six months be in vain
To cut the weeds, we must remove the roots!
Why not... spread the news that the boss is about to escape? This is a good opportunity to create chaos. But, how can we pass the news to He Lianxuan and cooperate inside and outside
Xia Chunyu's mind was moving very fast.
"At this moment, there was a report coming from outside, saying that someone from the imperial court was here.
Xia Chunyu suddenly felt happy, God helped me!
Ye Jiayao was anxious and pacing back and forth in the yard. Did Aunt Jiang find Uncle Jiang? Did Uncle Jiang pass the news to Chunyu? What kind of response will Chunyu make? If we don't hurry up, the first boss and the second boss will run away, and the village will be in chaos without a leader. Damn it, if that was the case, she would persuade Chunyu to lead a group of brothers to surrender, and maybe she could even earn an official position and clear her name completely.
It's just... Chunyu hates the court so much, will he agree to surrender
No, no, she had to do something.
Ye Jiayao thought for a while and decided to go to the second master's house again to see if she could hold him back and buy Chunyu time.
Arriving at the residence of the second master, the second master was indeed gone. Ye Jiayao knew that the entrance to the secret passage was in the Juyi Hall and rushed to the Juyi Hall.
From a distance, she saw Song Qi running toward the Juyi Hall. Ye Jiayao opened her mouth to call out to Song Qi, but someone covered her mouth from behind and dragged her away.
The opponent was so strong that Ye Jiayao couldn't struggle at all. She didn't even know who the opponent was, so she was dragged into a room.
Ye Jiayao was pushed so hard that she almost fell down.
"Brother and sister, what are you sneaking up to the Juyi Hall for? Are you afraid that I will leave you alone, brother?" A wretched voice sounded.
Ye Jiayao raised her head, wasn't she the second in charge? His eyes were wandering around her body, and he was smiling brightly. Damn it, why didn't she realize before that the rich and powerful second-in-command was so mean at heart
Ye Jiayao forced herself to calm down and smiled: "Second brother, it's you, you scared me to death just now."
"I'll feel relieved when I see second brother! You came just in time. Let's go with second brother! Second brother will love you." The second master came over to hug Ye Jiayao.
Ye Jiayao dodged away, feeling angry and scared, but she said with a smile: "Second brother, you haven't had a drink, why are you talking nonsense? I am your younger brother and sister."
The second master smiled ferociously and said: "You were the one I took a fancy to. Your family originally gave you to me to let you and the third child, just to test the third child. Now there is no need for you. You will naturally come back to me." around."
When Ye Jiayao heard this, she was struck by thunder: "You... what did you say? Why did my family give me to you?"
The second boss shook his head and said sympathetically: "Brother and sister, you are homeless, and the third child is not your lover, so just obey me."
Ye Jiayao said in a trembling voice: "You... please speak clearly."
Just as the second boss was about to speak, the door was pushed open, and the first boss walked in with a cold face: "Second brother, what time has it been, and you still have the heart to tease women here."
The second master said calmly: "Brother, how are things going outside?"
The head of the family stared at Ye Jiayao suspiciously and said, "We can't keep this woman anymore."
Ye Jiayao was shocked, what happened? Do you want to kill people and silence them? Did they already know about her eavesdropping
"Brother, why bother? It's just a woman. Tie her up and wait until the matter is over before making a decision." The second boss was obviously reluctant to kill Ye Jiayao.
"What do you know? The third child didn't fall into the trap. Now the envoys from the imperial court are coming up the mountain. Things are getting more and more difficult. The third child must not know about this matter." The eldest master said.
Ye Jiayao suddenly realized that they had deliberately let her eavesdrop. This was a trap to set up Chunyu. She could not guess the specific details, but one thing was certain. In order to prevent this conspiracy from being exposed, they Chunyu continued to work for them and wanted to kill her.
The second master looked at Ye Jiayao awkwardly, but still couldn't let go. Then he said: "We are still worried about the third child, so why not take this opportunity to kill him..." The second master made a gesture of wiping his neck.
The boss hesitated.
Ye Jiayao didn't dare to express her anger, for fear that she would die if she said the wrong thing.
"Then I'll leave it to you, hurry up." The boss left these words and walked out.
The second boss took a rope and tied up Ye Jiayao, and said: "The third brother is a handsome man, but can he be eaten as a meal? To tell you the truth, the eldest brother does not believe that Peng Wu is a spy. This is probably the conspiracy of the third brother. It is a pity to catch him." If you don't have anything to do with him, no matter whether there is any problem with the third child, the eldest brother will not keep him anymore, so you just stay here until he understands the matter, and then we can live a good life."
Bah, who wants to live with a pig like you
"It hurts, it hurts... Second brother, please be gentle." Ye Jiayao deliberately spread her hands wider so that there would be a gap between the ropes.
"Second brother, you must keep your word. I don't want to die yet, so you must protect me." Ye Jiayao acted coquettishly.
The second master was fascinated by her soft and charming voice and her pitiful little eyes, so he couldn't help but use a lighter touch, presumably she couldn't escape.
"Be obedient, second brother loves you." The second master touched her smooth and tender cheek, and wanted to kiss her again. He heard the first master urging her from outside, so he had to give up and waved to Ye Jiayao. After a slap on the neck, Ye Jiayao felt pain in her neck, her vision turned black, and she fainted.
