Chapter 1602 There is something behind the scenes
If the road is unfair, I will shovel it. This is Yang Yiyi's principle of being a hero, but he can't stand injustice.
So when she heard that bandits had robbed the convoy, she became excited on the spot.
But Yang Yiyi must not be allowed to go alone, and there are too many people, so it is not convenient to move quickly.
Of course it would not work for people like Wu Shaoyi who had to be carried by Yang Yiyi on the mountain road.
So Zhou Yuxuan asked Qin Yan and Yang Yiyi to take a look, and if it was troublesome, they would come back and discuss it further.
Ning Xianer also wanted to go and have a look, but protecting Tang Lianyu was the most important thing now. No one could say when An Xiangtang would come to visit him again. Ning Xianer, a capable father like Ning Xianer, should stay here.
When she had something to do, Yang Yiyi was no longer sleepy. She had a casual lunch and followed Qin Yan to the mountains.
Qin Yan knew where the Haishi Gang was. She had visited the dock with her brothers from the Sixteenth Village a few years ago. Although she had only been there once, she could still find it.
Both of them were very strong in Qinggong and moved extremely quickly, flying away almost without stopping for a moment.
After climbing two mountains, Qin Yan led Yang Yiyi through the forest and found a small stream flowing with dead leaves. Then he followed it and came to a hidden mountain col.
This mountain col has a narrow entrance and a wide inside. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Outsiders rarely find it. Even locals will not go so deep into the forest.
As soon as I entered, I saw a cottage in the distance with a flag with the word "海" on it.
"Don't go there, let's go around to the side and take a look."
Qin Yan grabbed Yang Yiyi, who wanted to approach directly. The two of them jumped up and walked around the mountain wall, using the sparse bamboo trees on the cliff as cover, and quickly approached the mountain stronghold.
The scale of this cottage is not small. It looks similar to a village. You can even see reclaimed farmland inside, as well as children chasing and playing around.
There are not only bandits in the bandit city, but also family relatives.
This was the first time for Yang Yiyi to see the bandit village, which was quite novel. Qin Yan had grown up in the Sixteenth Village since she was a child, so she was familiar with the scenery in the village.
She led Yang Yiyi to continue moving on the mountain wall and walked back.
"Look, there's someone in the cage."
Looking along where Qin Yan pointed, there were several large iron cages placed in the stockade diagonally below, no matter the size to hold a bear.
But now there are a few people in the cage who look like servants, sitting downcast.
Miss Jiao said that her father came to argue with the Haishi Gang, and of course he did not come alone. These should be the servants he brought.
However, I don’t see anyone who looks like Miss Jiao’s father here, and his age is not right.
Keep walking back.
The front part was a typical mountain village scenery, and Qin Yan was already used to it, but in the second half, Qin Yan couldn't help but frown.
Usually when there is nothing wrong, the village will organize labor training for young people, and you can actually see many people standing there in the empty field behind.
But this doesn't look like training.
The people on the field were divided into four groups, all holding weapons and looking like they were going to fight.
Conflicts in the village are inevitable, and different villages have different solutions, usually involving a fight.
But we cannot form cliques to cause conflicts, as this will cause the entire village to collapse.
Reminiscent of what Miss Jiao said about the sudden sudden death of the leader of the Haishi Gang, it may be that everyone in the gang is unconvinced and started forming cliques to become the boss.
Qin Yan was thinking about this in her mind, but Yang Yiyi seemed eager to give it a try.
When can we go down and fight?
"Be honest now. It's best not to fight if you can."
Li Chengqi said:
"If you go further in, I don't see Miss Jiao's father here."
The Haishi Gang and the Sixteenth Village are just brothers on the road. They usually mention each other's names and raise hands. To say how close they are, it's not that close.
Qin Yan doesn't really care whether the Haishi Gang is torn apart or whether there will be a new gang leader. In short, let’s determine where the person is first, and then talk about the Haishi Gang later.
The two of them continued to circle back carefully, bypassing the largest empty space. There should be a warehouse or something behind it.
After walking around for a long time, the two found several carriages with flags with the word "burnt" on them. They must have been robbed recently.
But I still haven’t seen Miss Jiao’s father. Isn’t it possible that he was rejected?
It doesn't seem right when I think about it. That family seems to be very rich. It would be more cost-effective to hold people for ransom than to tear them apart.
Ms. Jiao has not received any message asking for money in the past two days. It should not be a simple kidnapping.
After taking a general look at the structure of the Haishi Gang, Qin Yan whispered:
"Let's jump in from the back and see where Master Jiao is being held."
Under normal circumstances, as long as Qin Yan showed his identity at the gate of the village and explained his intention, the Haishi Gang would still be willing to do a favor.
After all, the name of the Sixteenth Village is very loud among the bandits, so it is not difficult to give them face.
But the current state of the Haishi Gang is hard to say. It feels like they are fighting for the gang leader. There may be other reasons why Mr. Jiao was detained, and the other party may not give him face.
In this case, going straight to the point might alarm the snake, so Qin Yan decided to go in and take a look first. If Master Jiao could be rescued, that would be the best.
Yang Yiyi has no objection. She has long wanted to go in, and maybe even wants to start a fight directly...
Sneaking into the village was a piece of cake for Qin Yan. She was more worried about whether Yang Yiyi would make too much noise.
But unexpectedly, Qin Yan found that Yang Yiyi could not only keep up with her, but also move more quietly than her.
The Climbing Cloud Step is not learned in vain. This skill is very outstanding in terms of speed, quietness and stability.
Now that Yang Yiyi could keep up, Qin Yan became more bold, moving quickly against the corner in broad daylight. Sometimes someone had just passed by, and as soon as he turned around, he could see Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan advancing furtively. , it looks very exciting.
But having said that, this village is really not small. Qin Yan took Yang Yiyi to several houses that looked like they might be holding people, but they always found nothing.
As they walked, Qin Yan led Yang Yiyi to the largest house, which looked like the Juyi Hall.
The two of them were leaning against the shadow of the wall, and Qin Yan motioned to Yang Yiyi not to move yet.
From the window not far from the two of them, voices came from inside:
“Brother is so timid, doesn’t it mean that we have lost the reputation of our brothers!”
"It is for the sake of our brothers that we must be careful."
"I think brother is right, Huzi, you are just too reckless."
"But if it weren't for me, where would you brothers get the gold and silver?"
"Tiger!"
"Hmph!"
It sounded like there were three people inside, but it was unclear if there were more.
Immediately afterwards, another voice inside said:
"The old man from the Jiao family..."
"Brother finally made up his mind to send the old man on his way?"
"No, that old man has a lot of connections. If we attack him, it will be difficult for you and me to live in peace."
"Are they just locked up like this? I said, brother, use people's money to eliminate disasters."
No, wait a moment.
Why does it sound like there is something behind Mr. Jiao's detention?
