Chapter 43 The Identity of the Chief of Black Ridge Village

By the time Ruan Yunsheng had finished packing and came out, Yu Shi was already so anxious that he was almost out of patience. The poison in their bodies would attack once every seven days, each time more painful than the last. Today happened to be the seventh day.

Yu Shi took Ruan Yunsheng to the meeting place of Heiling Village. When Ruan Yunsheng entered, the big boss whom he met at the Wangchuan Valley yesterday was sitting at the top. Below his right was the second in command, and the other side should be Yu Shi's seat.

"Brother, the people are here."

"Hello, Boss." Isn't it normal to be gifted too much? When you go out, you can have desserts and candies.

"Are you the woman that the third brother said could detoxify us? Aren't you Lu Zhizhou's wife?"

The big boss looked him up and down, and seemed to remember that he saw Ruan Yunsheng protecting Lu Zhizhou yesterday.

"That's right. I am the wife of that bastard Lu Zhizhou who is not worthy of riding in a cart."

Yu Shi touched his nose to hide the embarrassment on his face. Ruan Yunsheng's degree of holding a grudge is no less than Lu Zhizhou's. They are truly worthy of being a couple.

The boss's face looked a little bad. Ruan Yunsheng came today not only to detoxify them, she also wanted them to know that Lu Zhizhou did not rebel or commit treason. Yesterday she observed Heiling Village, and this group of bandits were definitely not ordinary bandits. If they could capture Heiling Village, they might be useful in the future.

"The third brother said you can detoxify, so hurry up."

"No hurry, I can detoxify you, but I want to know why you hate Lu Zhizhou?"

Before the boss could say anything, Yu Shi spoke first, "No hatred, no hatred."

Ruan Yunsheng sneered, then said solemnly, "No hatred? Didn't you say he hired thieves to betray the country? Didn't you say he was a thief? How could a bunch of bandits have such chivalrous spirit and pay attention to state affairs? Who are you?"

After Ruan Yunsheng finished speaking, the face of the big boss sitting on the top changed, "When did you find out?"

The boss didn't deny it, which proved that she was right. "The bandits under your command are well-trained. Although they are well disguised, it is not difficult to find traces of soldiers in their actions and movements. There are two possibilities. One is that you are soldiers, and the other is that they were trained by soldiers. Which one do you think it is?"

This time, not only the boss but also Yu Shi's usually casual expression restrained himself. The second in command looked at Ruan Yunsheng sharply, and if Yu Shi and the boss hadn't held him back, he would have wanted to kill Ruan Yunsheng to silence him.

"You're right. I'm a soldier. I used to defend the border against foreign enemies. The general's plan was somehow known to the enemy, and they set a trap for us. By the time we reacted, it was too late. Three hundred thousand soldiers were killed in that battle, and we were kept in the barracks by the general to avoid danger. Just as we were defending the last line of defense and waiting for reinforcements, a group of people came to chase us. We fought and fled all the way to Wangchuan Valley. I was the only one left, covered in blood. I was rescued by the people of Black Ridge Village. I couldn't go back to the barracks, so I had to land and hide in Black Ridge Village as a bandit."

The boss knew that if he didn't tell the truth, Ruan Yunsheng would not detoxify them. If that person hadn't used poison to control him, he would never have told Ruan Yunsheng about this.

"Oh? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell others?" Ruan Yunsheng raised her eyebrows. She thought he was a deserter but she didn't expect that he was forced to retreat here.

"Because of Lu Zhizhou."

"I used to be a lieutenant under his eldest brother. I was seriously injured that day, so the general asked me to stay in the barracks with my men. I didn't expect that it would be the last time I saw the general. The reason I said that yesterday was because I couldn't accept that the Lu family was a rebel. We originally planned to kill you according to the original plan, but your words yesterday that he was never a traitor, your firm eyes, and the fact that the Lu family is now only a group of widows made me hesitate."

Ruan Yunsheng pursed his lips. He didn't expect that the boss was actually a lieutenant. He was once a soldier under Big Brother Lu Zhizhou. "Hasn't Lu Zhizhou seen you?"

The chieftain shook his head and said, "The positions they guard are different. General Lu and Lu Zhizhou have met only a few times, and every time they meet, they just talk about the battle situation. I am just a lieutenant, so how can I be qualified to enter the general's tent?"

Ruan Yunsheng saw that the boss didn't seem to be lying, but she didn't understand why someone was chasing them. Did they have some unspeakable secrets? Or did they hinder someone?

"Do you know who those people are who are chasing you?"

The boss shook his head. He also wanted to find out who that group of people were and why they were hunting down these useless soldiers, but they had not found the answer in all these years.

"Did Lu Zhizhou really commit treason?" The eldest boss' eyes turned red. He was the only male left in the Lu family, and he didn't want to kill him. However, if they didn't kill Lu Zhizhou, hundreds of lives in Heiling Village would be destroyed.

"No, the Lu family is loyal and righteous. How could they raise a traitor? This is just because the person is worried that the Lu family will be more powerful than the master and is forcing the pressure on the Lu family. If Lu Zhizhou was the opposite, the Dongling Kingdom would have changed its dynasty long ago."

The eldest boss and Yu Shi were both shocked. "The one you are talking about is the current emperor? Is he the one who wants to kill the Lu family?"

Ruan Yunsheng sneered, "Oh, when the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. For the sake of his so-called power, he would not hesitate to frame the loyal and good. Wasn't the person who poisoned you the Second Prince Xuan Che? How did he find you? Does he know your identity?"

"He doesn't know my identity. It should be a coincidence that the Second Prince found me. He poisoned us not only to kill you but also to make us collect money for him. Although we are bandits in the Black Ridge Village, we are not to the point of not knowing right from wrong. We just want to live our own lives well."

It turned out that Xuan Che wanted to control the Black Ridge and make them do shady things for him. He probably chose the Black Ridge because of the terrain. If he acted openly, it would definitely arouse suspicion. But if he killed Lu Zhizhou in Wangchuan Valley and threw his body off the cliff, he could say that he fell down by himself because of his inconvenient legs and feet.

"I can detoxify you. How many of you are poisoned now?"

Originally, Ruan Yunsheng wanted to take advantage of the situation to win over the Black Ridge to her advantage, but now it seems that it is not the right time. Threatening them with poison again might anger them, and then it would be a loss if both sides were to fight to the death.

“All those who were poisoned are here.”

After seeing that only three people were poisoned, Ruan Yunsheng felt relieved. The Hundred Poison Pills were too expensive. If only the three of them were poisoned, it would be fine. But if all the people outside were poisoned, she really didn't want to save them. Her money didn't come from the wind.

Ruan Yunsheng didn't hesitate and directly bought three Hundred Poison Pills from the Little Apple Store. He used his sleeves as a cover to take out three pills and handed them to Yu Shi. "Take this. It can cure everything except arsenic."

"This is the only pill that can cure the poison? If you dare to lie to us, don't blame me for chopping you with a knife."

"Second brother." The eldest boss spoke up to stop him, and the second in command sat down quietly. Ruan Yunsheng suspected that this man was not only poisoned but also had a violent temper.
