Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

As Huo Tong said, not even a single body was found in Beiwang Mountain.

As soon as the third quarter of the morning arrived, Leng Youran returned to Huo Tong and the others.

The people who followed watched as their master appeared beside them like a ghost.

"host...."

Huo Tong was about to speak when Leng Youran interrupted him and looked in another direction.

Several people immediately fell silent.

In a short while, several figures pushing carts appeared in front of them.

"Xiao Wuzi, you've been here for half a year, why haven't you adapted yet?"

"That's right. I'm telling you, if you continue like this, Master Zhu will definitely have something against you."

The person called Xiao Wuzi was none other than the Lao Wu that Huo Tong had mentioned.

He was following the crowd, pushing the last cart, staring at the figures in front with bloodshot eyes.

But he said: "Brothers, Xiao Wuzi is also timid. How did you get used to it? Don't you have nightmares at night?"

"There's nothing to be nightmare about. We've been doing this for almost five years. We were a little uncomfortable at first, but we gradually got used to it. After all, if we perform well, Lord Zhu will reward us."

"Yes, I'm telling you, you haven't tasted the taste of a child, right? That meat is absolutely amazing. It's just a pity you came at the wrong time. If there were many children born in the past, many of them would have died because their families couldn't support them. The meat of those children...tsk tsk tsk...delicious!"

"Okay, stop chatting. Let's finish this quickly so we can go back earlier! By the way, Xiaowu, are you still going to the dilapidated temple as usual?" The leader heard several people still chattering and interrupted them.

"Yes, sir."

"Well, go ahead. You're miserable too. No one in the family is left behind. You're the only one who shows respect during festivals. I'll leave the door open for you at night as usual. Remember not to get caught."

"Yes, yes, thank you, Master."

"Okay, we are all brothers. Except for being timid, everything else about you is good." The person in charge's words were full of affirmation for Lao Wu.

Leng Youran and a few others hid in the dark and watched.

His eyes followed the crowd as he watched them overturn the things covered with white cloth on the cart.

The snow-white mountain suddenly turned crimson.

The person Lao Wu called the person in charge took out something that looked like a whistle from his pocket and said to the people behind him, "You go first."

Lao Wu and a few others pushed the cart down the mountain without looking back.

The person in charge blew the whistle only after he saw that they had all left.

A sharp sound hit the eardrums of Leng Youran and others.

Soon after the whistle stopped, rustling sounds came from deep in the mountains.

Leng Youran turned his head and gave Huo Tong a look, and Huo Tong disappeared with the other three people.

Leng Youran waited in the dark until the person in charge disappeared from the spot, and then she arrived at the pile of bones before the beasts came out.

It was all red at first glance.

Except for the intact heads, which allowed one to tell who these bones once were, there was not a trace of flesh and blood anywhere else.

There are men, women and old people in it.

Nearly ten bodies.

Even Leng Youran, who was used to seeing zombies, couldn't help but gasp after seeing this way of dealing with it.

Looking at the deep pit, his eyes were red.

With a thought, several mats appeared in his hands.

With a wave of his hand, the mats were placed over the corpse.

He then mobilized his wind-related abilities, and a strong wind suddenly blew around him.

Soon the pit filled with corpses was covered, forming a small round bag.

The wild beasts that were originally running in the woods also stopped at this moment.

They sniffed the scent of blood everywhere in the mountain, but after several unsuccessful attempts, they disappeared to the outskirts of the mountain.

Leng Youran waited until there was no more movement in the mountains before taking out a few incense sticks from the space and inserting them into the ground.

"Rest in peace. Don't worry, those who hurt you will suffer a fate a hundred times worse than yours."

......

"master."

Leng Youran turned around and saw Huo Tong and others, along with the already dazed Lao Wu, appear behind her.

"Is everything okay?"

Lao Wu slowly came back to his senses when he heard her voice, "Master, Master, it's okay to answer the master."

Leng Youran waved at him. The moment Lao Wu approached her, he felt that the burden that was originally pressing on him was relieved a lot.

Leng Youran retracted his wood-type ability, then took out a water bag filled with spiritual spring water from behind and handed it to him.

"Drink some."

Lao Wu took the water bag with both hands and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

After drinking the water, he felt his own situation and felt that the resentment that had accumulated in his heart for many days had dissipated, and he felt relaxed all over.

"Thank you for the reward, Master."

Leng Youran waved his hand, "Can you tell me about the situation in the North now?"

"Master, follow me." Lao Wu led everyone to a dilapidated temple not far down the mountain.

In the ruined temple.

Lao Wu Xixi told Leng Youran and others about the situation in the north.

What I learned from him was much more than what Huo Tong said.

From small things like how the common people survive to big things like how the Zhu family controls the north.

"So, according to you, Zhu Dazhi is the only one in power in the Far North?"

"Well, I also heard that there were still some merchants in the North before, but after Zhu Dazhi took over the North, those merchants died or disappeared."

"To put it nicely, they're missing, but the truth is, anyone with a discerning eye can see what's going on. Zhu Dazhi has been controlling those wealthy businessmen for years. Even though the North doesn't trade with outsiders, Zhu Dazhi actually has a lot of people working for him, and their businesses are spread all over the North. If the North lacks something, those people will naturally find a way to get it."

"For example, right now, although it's clearly the lean season, the Governor's Mansion still has fresh fruits and vegetables for every meal. Furthermore, the Northland doesn't just have one city gate leading to the outside world as outsiders see. They have many hidden passages leading to other places. It can be said that it's well-connected."

"It's just that I am currently insignificant in the North and don't have the authority to go to those places."

Leng Youran touched her chin. She was not surprised at this.

If the North really does not trade with outsiders as outsiders see it, it would be unbelievable that it can survive for so long.

Now hearing what Lao Wu said, her confusion was resolved.

"Zhu Dazhi is very greedy for pleasure?"

Lao Wu didn't know why his master's thoughts were so unconventional and why he suddenly changed the subject, but he still nodded.

"Well, extravagant and licentious."

"Okay, when will you come out next time?"

"Seven days later."

"I'll go in with you in seven days." She actually wanted to go there right away, but she had just arrived and still had a lot of things to deal with.

"Yes, Master, then seven days later..."

"We'll meet at North Lookout Mountain."

Lao Wu didn’t know that Leng Youran had the ability to disguise himself, but that didn’t stop him from trusting his master now.

Not to mention him, even Huo Tong and the others believed it mysteriously.
