Chapter 234 A Glimmer of Hope

Chapter 1 You Might Not Believe Me

You might not believe it, but we hunkered down in this mountain gully for three days, only to end up catching our own people.

In that instant,

Zheng Fan, A'ming, and the Blind Man exchanged glances.

The Blind Man didn't have sight, but he pretended like he did!

It was impossible to pass this off as a misunderstanding, because two members of the Secret Intelligence Division had already been killed by our side.

Even if we were to report this, it wouldn't be easy to handle. Marquis Jingnan could protect us from other things; his umbrella of protection was among the top three thickest in the entire Great Yan.

But the problem was, since you knew about the Helian family's treasure hoard, why didn't you report it?

You actually dared to secretly go looking for the treasure hoard yourself. A city guard of Shengle City attempting to embezzle a treasure hoard, what were your intentions?

This thing had already stuck to our crotch.

So,

this heroic member of the Secret Intelligence Division,

you had to go on the road whether you wanted to or not. Either way, there was no way you were getting out of here alive.

Zheng Fan reached out and removed the file that had been wedged in the man's mouth. The man immediately said:

"Who are you people!"

Zheng Fan calmly replied:

"The Eastern Depot of the Great Cheng Empire!"

"............" The Blind Man.

"............" A'ming.

"The Eastern Depot?"

"An agency just like your Yan Empire's Secret Intelligence Division."

The man's eyes narrowed slightly, as if analyzing in his mind whether the information was accurate.

"The Helian family's treasure hoard belongs to us Jin people. You Yan people have already taken the land, and you're still not satisfied, still coveting the wealth of my Jin people?"

"What a joke. The Helian family's land is clearly the territory of our Great Yan, and the Helian family's things are the property of our Great Yan!"

Oh ho, a tough guy;

and his speaking style was very Yan.

Zheng Fan had a flash of inspiration and smiled:

"You guys have worked hard to release the Helian family's young lady, but too bad, it's cheapened us now."

Upon hearing this, the man's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed:

"You, you have spies within the Secret Intelligence Division!"

There was another sentence he didn't say, but everyone could guess it, which was: otherwise, why would they know this information?

Zheng Fan breathed a sigh of relief; he had guessed correctly.

In fact, after learning Helian Baozhu's identity, Zheng Fan had been suspicious.

Because he was deeply aware of the Yan people's style.

Tian Wujing was the type to exterminate his entire family, and Li Fusheng, this kind of psychopath, was also a general trained by the Zhenbei Army.

The Helian family dared to kick Yan when it was down and actively attack the Yan Empire. How could Yan not retaliate by exterminating them completely?

It seemed that this was indeed the case. Helian Baozhu was obviously deliberately released by the Secret Intelligence Division, thinking of using a long line to catch a big fish.

The man snorted coldly and said:

"You won't get away. There are thousands of Yan soldiers near here!"

Zheng Fan was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood what the other party was talking about.

Obviously, the military operation a few days ago had surprised these Secret Intelligence Division dogs and caused them to lose track of Helian Baozhu's group.

So, the thousands of Yan soldiers this man just mentioned should be his own troops.

Hey, this was interesting. You're using my own soldiers to threaten me?

At this moment, the Blind Man spoke:

"Lord... Factory Overseer."

"Hmm?"

"I have some things I want to say to him."

"Go ahead."

The Blind Man lowered his head, looked at the man, and said:

"Look, your two brothers are already dead, and you've fallen into our hands. As long as you're willing, you can completely rely on our Eastern Depot, and in the future, you'll have endless..."

The man's body suddenly trembled, and blood began to flow from his mouth, his eyes filled with mockery.

He bit his tongue.

The Blind Man sighed and looked back at Zheng Fan. Zheng Fan nodded.

The Blind Man understood, reached out and covered the man's eyes, and a silver needle directly pierced into the man's acupuncture point, giving him a quick death.

Fan Li, who was by the pool, had already come up, drenched from head to toe, with a corpse on his back.

"Perfect timing, A'li, dig a pit and bury these three."

Fan Li scratched his head, then nodded again, carrying the three corpses on his back and heading to the distance to start digging.

At this time, Xue San also returned, with a dagger in his hand, the dagger still stained with blood.

"Master, I've taken care of the two over there. Huh, where's the live one?"

Xue San was a little puzzled. How did they all die?

"Killed the wrong people, killed members of the Secret Intelligence Division," the Blind Man explained.

"The Yan Empire's Secret Intelligence Division?" Xue San suddenly realized. "No wonder the last person I killed cursed me with a bit of a Yan accent before he died. I thought I misheard."

Zheng Fan sat down again at the cave entrance and said:

"San'er, go bring those two corpses back and give them to Fan Li to bury together."

After all, they were comrades-in-arms; killing you was a misunderstanding.

Xue San nodded and turned to carry the corpses.

A'ming sat down, looked at the wound on his abdomen, and silently took out his waterskin again, drinking two mouthfuls of blood.

The Blind Man turned to Zheng Fan and said:

"Master, since the Secret Intelligence Division was able to find their way here, it proves that the Yan court hasn't found the contact person for the treasure hoard either. We still have a great opportunity."

Zheng Fan reached out and rubbed his brow, saying:

"Things aren't as simple as they were before."

"Master, there's no need to worry about this. Isn't that identity you mentioned before perfect? Anyway, just throw a pot of shit on someone else. The Cheng Empire's Eastern Depot, the Qian Empire's Silver Armored Guards, or even Jianghu gangs will do. Arrange it cleverly, leave some clues, and we can always clear ourselves.

Even if we find the treasure hoard, we'll find a way to clean it. It's just money; there's no need to spend it like nouveau riche."

Zheng Fan nodded and said:

"You're still the most thoughtful."

In any case, the treasure hoard was impossible to let go. They had been waiting for almost three days. How could they give up like this without losing out?

The Secret Intelligence Division and the like, while they brought some pressure, for Zheng Fan and the others, they didn't have any Great Yan national sentiments, nor would they have too much guilt.

"After A'li finishes burying the corpses, let's continue. Let's wait three more days. If the contact person still hasn't appeared by then, then we won't wait foolishly."

After all, there were still many things to do at home, and they couldn't just stay here dreaming of getting rich.

"Understood."

………

"A'li, dig a little deeper; bury these two together as well."

"Alrighty."

Xue San clapped his hands and said, "Then I'll go back to the Master first. You keep busy."

"Alrighty."

Xue San successfully slacked off and ran back, taking advantage of this gap to flatter him a bit and say some nice things, which was a very cost-effective thing to do.

Fan Li was digging the pit by himself. He dug very quickly. In a short while, a big pit was dug. He climbed out of the pit, sat down, and prepared to rest before putting the bodies back in.

But at this moment,

a rustling sound suddenly came from the woods ahead.

Fan Li seemed to have not heard the movement at all, but simply leaned his body towards his double axes that he had thrown on the ground.

The next moment,

two figures walked out of the woods,

yes,

they walked out in such a grand and upright manner,

which made Fan Li, who was usually very simple and honest, feel that these two were a bit too honest!

Both of them were wearing standard savage outfits, both wearing animal skins, one holding a bow and arrow and the other holding a knife.

The one holding the knife walked directly to the five corpses that had not yet been buried, squatted down, checked them, and excitedly turned to his companion and said:

"That's right, they are Yan dog Secret Intelligence Division people!"

Fan Li frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.

At the same time, he unconsciously slowed down the impulse to swing his double axes and chop people.

Fan Li stared at them,

and said:

"Where are you guys from?"

The savage holding the bow and arrow immediately said:

"That's right, we are exactly from Geda Mountain!" (Geda Mountain = Pimple Mountain)

"............" Fan Li.

Fan Li now had the feeling that other Demon Kings usually had when they looked at him.

"Yang Tou was chased and killed by Yan dogs when he came to find us, and he was hit by several arrows. He just came to Geda Mountain to find us and then he died. We brothers came out of Geda Mountain and have been looking for you for several days, and we almost ran into Yan dog Secret Intelligence Division several times. The Yan dog's troops also came a while ago and made a big commotion. Fortunately, we finally found you."

At this time, another savage said:

"How is Miss?"

"Good," Fan Li replied.

"Take us to see Miss. It's not safe here. After we pick up Miss, we'll leave immediately."

"Good," Fan Li continued to nod.

But Fan Li pointed to the five corpses on the ground and said:

"Bury the people first."

As he said, he ignored the two people beside him, bent down and threw the five Yan people's corpses into the pit.

The savage holding the bow and arrow next to him nodded and said:

"Yes, we must first dispose of these Yan dogs' corpses, otherwise our whereabouts will be exposed. You are still careful in doing things."

Fan Li nodded very seriously, agreeing with him.

After burying the people, Fan Li pointed behind him and said:

"Miss is there, follow me."

After saying that, Fan Li picked up his axe and walked back, with the two savages following behind him.

Then,

under the dumbfounded gazes of Zheng Fan, the Blind Man, A'ming, and Xue San,

Fan Li directly brought the two people back,

pointed to the two of them,

and said:

"People from Geda Mountain, they're here to pick us up."

The two savages immediately cupped their fists,

"My name is A'tong."

"My name is A'mu."

Xue San really wanted to ask Fan Li,

I asked you to bury a dead person, where did you lead back a pair of Atom Boys from.

But soon, Xue San realized that something was wrong,

because he saw the Master and the Blind Man,

their bodies were trembling slightly,

there were tears in the corners of their eyes,

and their mouths were slightly open, with a few strands of saliva still connecting their lips;

Damn,

you two are getting into character so fast!

Zheng Fan immediately walked out of the cave, took three steps and stopped, then took three steps forward again,

his face full of the expression of finally finding the organization after experiencing all kinds of hardships,

with a choked voice full of shock, anticipation, vigilance, and disbelief,

he said:

"Really, is it really you, is it really you? Why are you only coming now, why are you only coming now!!!"
