"It's such a good thing. I don't know what they are thinking. How could they refuse it? They don't know how to appreciate favors."
Hearing this, Shangguan Hui's face darkened.
It was Spirit Bear who made things difficult for them first. How could he be so rude and blame the Lin family?
These people were really unreasonable.
But at this time, Shangguan Hui knew that it was not a good time to argue with them.
She just felt unhappy when she heard those people's words.
They left in a hurry and went to the place where the First Elder lived in the village.
After making sure that no one would come, they came out of the shadow.
At this time, Shangguan Hui found that she was so close to Lin Nansheng that she was almost nestled in his arms.
Her pretty face couldn't help but blush, and she moved away without leaving a trace.
But Lin Nansheng's attention was all on the two people, so he didn't notice it.
"It would appear that the First Elder and the others have truly been forced into a corner."
Lin Nansheng said in a low voice. Shangguan Hui nodded. In the past two days, Xiong Lin had revealed that the First Elder had gradually lost his patience because he couldn't get the father and son of the Lin family to agree.
Moreover, Xiong Lin was also worried. After all, he couldn't control the whole tribe.
Once the First Elder fell out with them, it would definitely cause a turmoil.
At that time, many contradictions would have to be laid out in the open, obvious and sharp.
Although Xiong Lin had long wanted to punish the die-hards, after all, he was not fully prepared.
If they were exposed prematurely, the situation would be very disadvantageous for them.
She looked at the dark West Mountain and the only bright courtyard in the dark night. She made up her mind.
"Since we've bumped into them, there's no reason not to go and find out. You are good at martial arts, so it's not easy to be discovered. Why don't you go and have a look? It's okay for me to go to the West Mountain alone. Mengya gave me some things to protect myself. There are no wolves or tigers around. And when we came out, we didn't attract anyone's attention. For me, the West Mountain is relatively safe. Don't hesitate. The two armies are fighting, so we must seize the initiative. Go. "
Shangguan Hui was gentle and considerate. She had made the best arrangement in an instant.
However, how could Lin Nansheng be willing to do so? The West Mountain was pitch-black, and she was a girl. What if she met someone or a wild beast on the way? Wouldn't it be very dangerous?
"No, I'll send you over first. There was no way they could hide this from Xiong Lin's spies. When the time comes, won't we all know? "
Lin Nansheng's refusal was within her expectations.
Shangguan Hui pushed him gently. Her eyes were gentle but firm.
"I know you're worried about me, but I'm afraid that Big Brother Xiong Lin will also be obstructed this time. They already know that we're on the same side, so how could they not guard against him? It's safer for you to go there yourself. Don't worry. You should know Mengya's tricks better than me, right? Don't worry about me, business is more important. "
Even though he knew that she was right, Lin Nansheng was still worried.
Seeing this, Shangguan Hui knew that if the stalemate continued, both of them would make mistakes, so she had to come up with a compromise.
"How about this, I'll go to the West Mountain first and wait for you. After all, our people are relatively safe here. After the handover, I'll wait there for you to pick me up. You go to inquire about it first, or go to inform Big Brother Xiong Lin and ask him to find someone to keep an eye on it. Don't hesitate. If you go on like this, they will finish their discussion. Go quickly, don't worry about me. "
Shangguan Hui pushed Lin Nansheng inside. In desperation, Lin Nansheng had to tell her to be careful and that he would pick her up as soon as possible. Then he left, looking back three times at every step.
Seeing his figure disappear into the night in the blink of an eye, Shangguan Hui let out a long sigh of relief.
Only now did she understand how good it felt to fight side by side with others.
It was no wonder that although Mengya had encountered so many things, she still enjoyed it and never felt tired.
She had never thought of a life where she didn't belong to a family or a man's vassal.
Now she really had it, and it felt really good.
It was a little difficult to walk on the mountain road. Although she couldn't light a torch, when she saw Mengya come back last time, she prepared a stone that could be used to light up the road.
This stone was very special. It was cool to the touch, but not as warm as jade. It emitted a faint green cold light, which could only illuminate a small area around her body.
But it was much easier to hold than lanterns or torches.
Shangguan Hui carefully arrived at the agreed place. According to the previous agreement, she knocked on the trunk of the tree regularly for a few times. Immediately, a black shadow flashed out from behind the tree.
"Who is it?"
Shangguan Hui shouted in a low voice. The man immediately took out a stone that was exactly the same as the one in her hand, and it looked exactly the same as the one in her hand. It was also in the shape of a very smart little pigeon.
Shangguan Hui was relieved. It seemed that the man was the one she had been waiting for.
They exchanged the stone quickly, and there was almost no extra movement.
The man asked for the last time, and after making sure that she had no other information, he turned around and left.
Bathed in the night, it was a little cold in the mountain. Fortunately, the place they chose was leeward from the wind, and there were no wild beasts nearby.
Shangguan Hui did not dare to go down the mountain alone. It was not that she was afraid of any danger, but she was afraid that if Lin Nansheng had already found her, what should she do if they went the wrong way?
Although she waited alone, she did not feel bored.
They had been together for a long time, and she had long been used to waiting.
Fortunately, she was not disappointed every time.
Recalling the little things between them, Shangguan Hui only felt like a dream.
She did not know how long it had been, but only heard the sound of branches shaking.
She immediately stood up to check. Under the faint moonlight, a slender figure came to her hiding place in the blink of an eye.
"Hui 'er, are you there?"
The voice was familiar to her, but with a strange anxiety.
She immediately ran out. Perhaps because she was anxious, she did not see a stone on the road.
"Hiss …"
She sat on the hard ground and sucked in a breath of cold air.
She could not help but force some tears out of her eyes, and the shadow quickly ran to her.
"Let me see if you are hurt."
Shangguan Hui endured the pain and took out her broken illumination stone.
In the dim light, she could clearly see the self-blame in Lin Nansheng's eyes.
She could not bear to hurt him, so she said softly.
"It doesn't hurt. I was careless. It's okay."
Lin Nansheng pinched her ankle, and after making sure there was no serious injury, he helped her up from the ground.
"You can't move easily. This time, I will carry you down."
He squatted on the ground, and his broad back was unreserved for Shangguan Hui.
She blushed, lowered her head, and made a small sound like a mosquito. After answering in a low voice, she carefully lay on his back.
They did not talk all the way, or in other words, both of them were thinking about their own things, so that they did not know where to start to say thousands of words.
Shangguan Hui leaned on Lin Nansheng's back, and there was a lingering sweetness in her heart.
After a long time, they walked out of the West Mountain and returned to the small courtyard where they had lived before.
Hongyu was already ready, and now she was standing in the courtyard and looking around.
Lin Nansheng gently knocked on the door, and Hongyu immediately opened it from the inside.
After seeing the two of them, Hong Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, her gaze still passed through them and drifted to the outside.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Nansheng carefully put Shangguan Hui down gently, and then asked.
Hongyu bit her lip, and there was a little anxiety in her eyes.
"In the evening, as soon as you went out, the First Elder sent someone to call Xiong Lin. Xiong Lin said that he would come back soon, but it's so late. Why is he still not here? I'm a little worried. "
Lin Nansheng seemed to know something. After telling Hongyu to close the door, he helped Shangguan Hui into his father's room.
At this moment, Lin Muzhi was still sitting at the table, reading a book on military strategy.
After seeing Aiko and the two girls, he nodded, and his expression became much more relaxed.
"Did everything go well for you two?"
Lin Muzhi thought that things would be very complicated because Nansheng was dressed like a woman, and Shangguan Hui could not move freely.
But Shangguan Hui nodded, and her pretty face turned red. She was too embarrassed to tell him the reason for her injury.
Shangguan Hui immediately took out the iron tube from her hair and handed it to Lin Muzhi. Lin Nansheng said with a serious face after making sure everything was in order.
"When we went out of the stockaded village, we heard that the First Elder and the others seemed to be planning something. Later, Hui suggested that we split up. I would go to find out what the First Elder and the others were doing, and she would exchange information. As a result, I found that the First Elder and the others were plotting to deal with us. "
The atmosphere was a little heavy.
Even Hongyu, who deliberately avoided talking about it every time, could not help but feel anxious.
Because she knew that what the Young Master was going to say might have something to do with Xiong Lin's disappearance today.
"The First Elder and the others couldn't wait any longer, so they decided to take a risk. If we didn't agree, they would burn Xiong Lin and the others who were on good terms with us. And I found that there seemed to be some strangers among them. Although I don't often walk around in the stockaded village, I have some impression of them more or less. I saw that the Great Elder was very respectful towards them, and these people's martial arts were very high. I was almost discovered. "
Hongyu was so anxious that she almost cried. She looked at Shangguan Hui with a pair of begging eyes.
Shangguan Hui knew what she was thinking, and immediately asked.
"What about Brother Xiong Lin and the others? According to Brother Xiong Lin's temper, he would definitely not resign himself to death. Could it be that he has been killed by them? "
This was what Shangguan Hui and Lin Mengya were worried about at the same time.
The reason why Shangguan Hui took advantage of the greed of the First Elder and the others was to buy time.
Previously, there was no other way, but now, time was too tight.
