Chapter 177: The Jianghu in the Wine and Sword Village (20)
Feeling Jiang Sichen's threatening gaze, Yu Feng sighed helplessly, "It's nothing, just the scenery along the way. I heard that the scenery in Jieyou Forest is very beautiful."
Before he could finish, a silver needle suddenly shot out from the darkness behind him. Then, the world spun around and Tang Cuo fell directly to the ground.
Yu Feng looked at Jiang Sichen beside him with some surprise, "Oh, you're so cruel to destroy a flower?"
Jiang Sichen ignored him, stood up and took a few steps forward, picked up Tang Cuo by the waist, and placed him on a stone bench beside him.
"What's wrong? Do you have something to tell me?" Yu Feng's face became a little serious.
"Remember the news from the other day?"
"Innocent people in the underworld disappeared. Could it be... you really did it?" Yu Feng's eyes were filled with scrutiny. "Sure, I've wanted to do this for a long time. Let them always push the blame on us. That's how it should be."
"No, this is a play directed and acted by Li Xiuzhu himself. He locked up the missing people in a dungeon."
"I knew this old guy didn't look like a good person. What are you going to do?"
"Since they want to attack me, I will naturally wait for them."
"Are you going back?" Yu Feng's gaze unconsciously fell on Tang Cuo.
"We have to go back, but not now." Jiang Sichen raised his hand and touched Tang Cuo's head, "The fire is not burning strong enough, it should splash bigger water."
"Then...what are you going to do? If he finds out who you are, you'll be in big trouble."
"When do I need to consider others?" Jiang Sichen chuckled.
"That's true. What? Are you not interested in him anymore? How about letting me take over? After all, his looks suit my taste." Yu Feng raised his hand and wanted to touch his cheek.
But Jiang Sichen pushed him away.
"What? Didn't you say you were no longer interested?" Yu Feng was a little unhappy, "It's not my turn?"
"You don't like that Li Huaiyu again?"
Hearing his words, Yu Feng retracted his outstretched hand a little, "He's not bad, but a little hard to win."
"Okay, let's stop here for now. I'm a little tired today." Jiang Sichen raised his hand and rubbed his temple.
"Okay, I'll go first." Yu Feng nodded, then walked away.
In the corner of the side courtyard, a figure quietly disappeared. Jiang Sichen narrowed his eyes, then carried Tang Cuo back into the house.
The next morning, after Tangcuo woke up, he raised his hand and rubbed his head, "My head hurts, as if someone hit me."
He stood up, leaned against the head of the bed, and looked around in confusion, "By the way? How did I get back? It seems like I fainted suddenly, eh? Where's Jiang Sichen..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Sichen walked in from the door, "Awake? Acuo."
"Well, how did I get back? I vaguely remember that I seemed to be practicing straight thrusts in the yard."
"Maybe I'm too tired, so I feel a little dizzy. How do you feel now?"
"I'm fine now, just my head hurts a bit." Tang Cuo pursed his lips.
"Nothing is wrong, that's good. By the way, Master Li and his men are planning to set out to conquer Jie Youlin today, so let's get ready quickly."
"Let's go now?" Tangcuo's voice became louder. "There's no need to be so anxious..."
"There is no time to delay in defeating the evil bandits."
"That makes sense." Tang Cuo sighed, then tidied his clothes and followed Jiang Sichen.
When the two men arrived, everyone was boosting morale. One of them was holding a wine bowl in his hand. After drinking it all in one gulp, he smashed the bowl on the ground.
"Everyone, I am waiting for your good news here. Let my son go with you first. Once I have resolved the issues here, I will immediately meet up with you." Li Xiuzhu raised the wine bowl and bowed to everyone.
Tang Cuo looked at the people around him, and suddenly, he felt a burning gaze falling on him. He looked to the right and met Li Huaiyu's gaze.
Tang Cuo smiled at him awkwardly, then looked away, "Brother Jiang, why is Mr. Li looking at me like that?"
"I don't know, maybe he has some eye disease." Jiang Sichen looked at Li Huaiyu on the side provocatively and smiled.
After the farewell party, everyone set out on the journey to conquer Jie Youlin. After a while, Li Huaiyu arrived at Tang Cuo's side without him knowing.
"Young Master Li, is there something wrong?"
"Nothing, I just want to remind Young Master Tang to be careful of the people around you and not to trust someone too much."
"Who is the person you are talking about?"
"Since Master Li is leading the team, he should walk in front of the team. As for Acuo, Master Li please don't bother with him." Jiang Sichen said calmly.
"Toying with a person's feelings is not something we in the martial arts world should do."
"Don't bother me, Master Li. I know what to do." Jiang Sichen chuckled and raised his hand, "Master Li, please."
Li Huaiyu clenched his palms, then turned and left the two of them.
"What did he just mean? Playing with feelings? Whose feelings?"
"It's nothing. It might be Young Master Yu. Young Master Yu might have some unusual feelings for Master Li, and I have been quite close to Young Master Yu these past few days, which might have led him to misunderstand." Jiang Sichen explained.
"So that's how it is. Then you should really stay away from Young Master Yu and don't let them have any misunderstandings." Tang Cuo nodded.
"What if one day we end up going to war? What will you do?" Jiang Sichen looked up at him, with an indescribable feeling in his eyes.
"Fighting with weapons? I don't think we will, unless you do something that is against the will of heaven and earth and I have to kill you." Tangcuo seemed to think carefully, "But with my ability, I'm afraid I can't kill you."
"Don't worry, I dare not say anything about others, but if it's me, it's still easy to kill me if you want to." Jiang Sichen smiled, "Let's not talk about this. I heard that there are many dangers outside Jieyou Forest. Isn't Acuo afraid?"
"I'm scared..." Isn't there anything I can do? I don't want to go, but you're forcing me to go...
"Everyone, stop for a moment." Li Huaiyu's voice came from the front.
"What's wrong? Young Master Li, has something happened?" Someone in the rear asked in confusion.
"See for yourselves."
Hearing his words, everyone came forward, and then their eyes showed surprise one after another, "What is this?"
In front of him, in a green bamboo forest, there were corpses hanging in various postures. Their hands and feet were tied up with vines, and black stains were flowing from the corners of their mouths. They looked extremely terrifying.
Not only that, even the birds and beasts flying over the bamboo forest collapsed to the ground like them.
