The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife
Chapter 71 Black Wind Village Li Yong
Jiang Xing and Xie Ci spent two days and two nights in the dungeon without any danger. On the morning of the third day, someone finally came into the dungeon.
"Are they the two?" With a questioning voice, Jiang Xing and another person raised their heads and looked out the door. They saw three figures standing there, the leader was a man in black who was about thirty years old. His face was dark, with a long scar extending from the left corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth, which made people feel scared.
"Boss, these two are the ones who are investigating the disaster relief case in South City." The person next to the man in black answered respectfully.
Jiang Xing had already expected that this might be a mountain stronghold, but further confirmation was needed as to whether these people were friends or enemies.
"Hello, Boss!" Jiang Xing quickly stood up and greeted the man in black. Xie Ci, who was standing beside him, also stood up. He was worried that his cousin might be in danger and was always ready to help.
"Boss, there are currently two forces looking for these two people. One is all kinds of people in Yangzhou City, and the other is a group of people whose identities are unknown. However, the latter force is more difficult to deal with." The man next to the man in black spoke again.
Jiang Xing listened to the two parties mentioned by the man and thought to himself: one team is the shopkeeper Jin, and the other team is unknown. His eyes flickered and he looked ahead thoughtfully, as if trying to piece together the truth behind this information.
"I'm Jiang Xing, this is my cousin Xie Ci, we're from the capital." Jiang Xing decided to take the initiative to reveal his identity, after all, the other party didn't show any ill intentions. His tone was steady, and his voice was clearly heard by the man in black.
The man in black was slightly startled, obviously a little surprised by this answer. He looked up and down at Jiang Xing and Xie Ci, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Your last name is Xie? From the capital?" the man in black repeated softly, as if to confirm whether he had heard it wrongly. There was an indescribable surprise in his tone, which made Jiang Xing curious.
Seeing this, Xie Ci hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Exactly?"
"Xie Bian..." the man in black muttered to himself, seemingly lost in memories. After a moment, he suddenly raised his head, stared at Xie Ci, and asked, "Do you know Xie Bian?"
Xie Ci nodded quickly and replied, "Yes! May I ask how you know my grandfather's name?" His voice was slightly excited.
The man in black was silent for a moment, and finally broke the silence. He slowly said, "Second brother, third brother, you two should quickly release the two young masters!"
Led by the man in black, Jiang Xing and Xie Ci walked through the winding corridor and finally came to a spacious and slightly simple meeting room. After they walked out of the dungeon, they realized that this was indeed a mountain stronghold. In the open space, a group of children were chasing and playing happily, making bursts of hearty laughter; the women sat together, busy doing their work, and seemed to be in good order; however, looking around, there didn't seem to be many men, only a small team of people patrolling back and forth in the stronghold.
This mountain stronghold gave people a strange feeling. It didn't look like a traditional bandit's den. There was no eerie atmosphere, but a sense of tranquility and harmony. Jiang Xing and Xie Ci couldn't help but wonder, is there really any danger hidden in such a place? Or is there a secret unknown here?
"Please take a seat, gentlemen! No need to be so polite." The man in black smiled and politely greeted the two of them, motioning to the person beside him to serve them tea. This action made the already nervous thank you even more reserved. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at his cousin Jiang Xing, his eyes full of worry. Jiang Xing nodded slightly at him, telling him to be patient.
After the two men sat down, the man in black introduced himself: "Gentlemen, I am the leader of the Black Wind Village. My surname is Li and my name is Yong. The one standing on both sides of me is brother Qian Sheng, and that one is brother Wu Lei." As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Sheng and Wu Lei nodded to Jiang Xing and Xie Ci.
Faced with this situation, Jiang Xing and Xie Ci were very silent, just listening to Li Yong quietly. Through Li Yong's narration, they just learned the reason. It turned out that Li Yong used to be an official in the court, and he was also a fierce general. Unfortunately, his family was plotted by traitors, and the whole family was wiped out. Only he survived. Fortunately, Xie Bian, who was Li Yong's boss at the time, stepped forward and set up a game to successfully rescue Li Yong who was serving in the northern border. After that, Li Yong hid in this Black Wind Village. As for Qian Sheng and Wu Lei, they were also victims of the unjust case, and they also benefited from Xie Bian's help to save their lives.
"So that's how it is," Jiang Xing and Xie Ci looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in their hearts.
"If General Xie had not stepped forward, the three of us brothers would probably have died long ago. When we finally returned to our home in the capital after going through untold hardships, we found..." As Li Yong spoke, his voice began to choke and tears gradually welled up in his eyes.
Jiang Xing silently watched the seven-foot-tall man in front of him weeping, his heart filled with helplessness and sorrow, but he didn't know how to comfort him. After all, only those who have experienced the suffering and pain in person can truly understand the taste of it.
After a moment's silence, Jiang Xing slowly said: "Boss, let the past be the past. We must look forward and believe that the future will be better." Although his tone was firm, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
