Chapter 17 The unspeakable secret
"I didn't expect Brother Moping to come too."
The head of the gang's tone was indifferent, and then he asked, "How is the fourth brother's health?"
"Reporting to the Chief, Master is doing well." Mo Ping replied respectfully, then patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder again, "This young man is the new disciple that Master took in, whom I spoke with the Chief this afternoon."
As the leader's gaze swept over her, everyone looked at her, but she simply looked back calmly.
The leader stared at the young man for a moment, but seeing no fear in him, he became suspicious and asked, "This young man looks unfamiliar. Who are you working for?"
"Yes, Chief, it is—" Mo Ping was about to reply when he was interrupted by the Chief.
"Let him speak for himself."
This leader is indeed very wary; no wonder he was able to become the chief of Liuyun Village.
Xiao Ran stood up, cupped his hands and said, "My name is Dali. I am the fourth leader's new disciple. I used to be Brother Qiang's subordinate."
When Xiao Ran mentioned Qiangzi, the people below looked around, seemingly searching for Qiangzi.
But the third leader seemed to have known about Qiangzi's absence all along, and he was the first to ask, "Where's Qiangzi?"
Xiao Ran didn't rush to answer, because she knew that it was this third leader who had sent the message through Qiangzi that morning, and she wanted to see just how anxious he was.
The more anxious she is, the more important it is, and the better she can take advantage of her position as an insider.
"I'm asking you a question!" The third leader slammed his fist on the table in anger.
Xiao Ran pretended to be startled and quickly lowered her head, saying, "I'm so sorry..."
"You...!" The third leader seemed very anxious and stood up again, which surprised everyone.
The leaders found his reaction somewhat strange.
But the third leader still couldn't get anything out of him. He was extremely anxious and wished he could tear the boy's mouth open to hear what it was all about.
Mo Ping was also a little anxious, fearing that his junior brother had offended the third leader.
What's the unspeakable reason? We're all brothers, is it really that hard to say?
However, he saw that his junior brother was actually trembling!
Moreover, his bowed head and clasped hands obscured his face, making it impossible to see his expression. However, as the senior brother, he could still sense a sense of oppressive atmosphere and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
Could something have happened...?
"Alright." The leader stood up and pressed the third leader down, who then sat down reluctantly.
He then turned to Xiao Ran and said, "Qiangzi is the third boss's subordinate, so it's understandable that he's anxious. You don't need to be too nervous. Just tell everyone what happened."
Upon hearing the leader's question, Xiao Ran's lips curled slightly; she had no choice but to answer now.
She slowly raised her head, her eyes red and tears streaming down her face, which was already wet. "Brother Qiangzi... he's dead."
Finally, he wiped his eyes with his sleeve.
"What!?"
The third leader immediately stood up, and there was a murmur of surprise from below.
In that instant, a flood of thoughts rushed through his mind. Who was it? Was it him? Did he quit? So he silenced Qiangzi? No… impossible. They had already made an agreement, and he had leverage over Qiangzi. He wouldn't do something like that…
Seeing the third leader stand up in shock and speechless, the chief leader had no choice but to ask, "What happened?"
Xiao Ran told them everything she had seen that morning, but she became a victim in the whole affair, surviving by pretending to be dead.
"It's him again! Big brother, I've been fed up with him for a long time. Why should we all be held back by a mere brat! I'm going to avenge Qiangzi right now!" The fifth leader was about to get up when the seventh leader stopped him.
The seventh leader shook his head at him.
The leader remained silent, and the third leader was also stunned; the scene was silent for a moment.
At this moment, the bald man, who had remained silent until now, wiped his hands and said, "I think there's something fishy about this."
His sharp gaze shot towards Xiao Ran, but the latter seemed to be prepared and met his gaze directly.
Seeing his junior brother's bravery, Mo Ping couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
He realized that the name "Dali" didn't describe physique at all, but rather courage!
As for why Xiao Ran dared to meet her gaze, it was because she didn't believe such a mysterious thing existed.
In the end, this monk was nothing more than using everyone's respect and his own status to make people fear him, to the point that they dared not look him in the eye.
If those people have done something wrong, they will naturally feel guilty and therefore dare not look them in the eye.
And even if such a mysterious thing exists, could it be more extraordinary than the rebirth that happened to her?
What else does she have to fear?
"Does Sixth Master not believe what I said?" Xiao Ran simply looked at him, then slowly lowered her eyes, showing a look of disappointment.
Then he ripped off the white cloth wrapped around his neck; the sight was painful to watch.
"If it's fake, I can fake the wounds on my body, but why would I harm my own lifeline?"
The sixth leader was stunned for a moment when he saw the bloody and mangled wound on her neck.
Everyone knew in their hearts that even if the young man in front of them had ulterior motives, they would never risk their lives.
But the wound was so deep that if it wasn't treated properly, it could be life-threatening!
The sixth leader was momentarily embarrassed, but he was a respected figure in everyone's eyes, and he couldn't afford to lose the support of a mere junior member.
"I have spoken too much. The village has been peaceful and quiet all this time, and I had forgotten that there were still external enemies around." The Sixth Master bowed to Xiao Ran with one hand to express his apology.
That's well said! It immediately shifted everyone's concerns to the external enemy and made everyone think he was a highly respected person.
However, Xiao Ran had already achieved her goal. She had been worried that people would doubt what she said, but after the Sixth Master's performance, no one doubted her for the time being.
"Let's go kill that damned emperor!"
"Yes! Kill that dog emperor!"
……
Once one person speaks, another will follow, and so on, with everyone rising up in high spirits.
The leader stood up and said in a stern voice, "Everyone, please quiet down."
“I know that everyone in the stronghold has always hated the emperor and has been preparing for an assassination, but this matter needs to be considered carefully.”
"Taking a long-term view" means he's going to postpone his rebellion plans.
Xiao Ran calmly picked up her teacup and took a sip.
The tea was quite ordinary, but it had a slightly bitter taste towards the end.
The third leader stood up anxiously and said, "Brother! No! We have been preparing for this for a long time, and we cannot let our efforts be in vain!"
The fifth leader chimed in, "That's right, brother! Now is the best opportunity to assassinate that dog of an emperor! It's also our chance to see the light of day again, we must—"
"Third brother, fifth brother, stop talking! I've made my decision! Let's all disperse today." He waved his hand to interrupt the fifth leader.
After saying that, he walked over to Xiao Ran and glanced at her with an ambiguous expression.
Then he said to Mo Ping beside him, "Mo Ping, bring your junior brother to my room for a chat."
“Yes…” Mo Ping felt strange.
The person is right next to him, why doesn't he just say it to him?
But after thinking about it, perhaps the leader has some unspeakable difficulties.
