Chapter 639 Late Night Conspiracy
Qin Feng took a deep breath and tried to make his tone gentler.
"You don't have to be afraid. As long as you tell the truth, I promise not to hurt you. But if you continue to hide it, you will be responsible for the consequences."
The woman looked at Qin Feng with a blank look on her face, her eyes full of confusion and confusion, and she asked softly: "What do you want me to say?" Her brows frowned slightly, as if she was thinking hard.
Qin Feng raised his lips and showed a sneer. There was a hint of contempt in his eyes and he said coldly: "Don't you really know? Don't play tricks with me!" His voice was filled with unconcealed disdain.
Xi Yu returned to the inn with a light step, with a faint smile on his face.
Ouyang Linlin had already been waiting in the room. When she saw Xi Yu come back, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.
Xi Yu smiled and said to Ouyang Linlin: "I want to go with you tonight and let Xiaohong go to sleep with Tuoba Yu."
His tone was relaxed and natural, as if this was a very ordinary thing.
After hearing this, Xiaohong left the room obediently.
Ouyang Linlin looked at Xi Yu in confusion and asked: What's going on tonight?"
Her brows frowned slightly, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
Xi Yu told the relevant situation.
Xi Yu smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, I believe the secret guard will find it out."
On the vast grassland, Xianbei Hong Gang ended his contact with several shepherds. Several days passed by, but everyone was helpless and clueless about the mysterious treasure.
But at this moment, a strong desire surged in Hong Gang's heart, which was to put Tuoba Tianlong to death as soon as possible.
Hong Gang sat in the tent, thinking secretly about how to complete this plan.
He knew very well that if he wanted to destroy Tuoba Tianlong, he had to bribe General Aubunming and let him use it for his own purposes.
But, what method should be used to make Auburn moved?
"Aubunming is a greedy person, and he can only impress him with money and power." Hong Gang thought in his heart. He began to consider his wealth and resources, and how to use these to buy Aubunming.
Hong Gang fell into deep thought. He kept thinking about various possibilities, trying to find the safest way.
His brows frowned, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"No matter what method is used, I must let Auburn Ming use it for me." Hong Gang swears secretly in his heart.
He knew that this plan was full of risks and challenges, but he also believed that only in this way could he achieve his goals.
"Or, I can use his weaknesses to threaten him." A thought suddenly flashed through Hong Gang's mind. He began to recall some secrets and handles of Auburn, trying to find a place to use.
After a while, Hong Gang hurriedly walked into a tent.
His eyes searched in the tent anxiously, and he said, "Where is the stone land?"
Finally, he found Shididu and hurried forward and pulled him out.
The two of them came to a secret corner. Hong Gang stared at Shi Didu with his eyes tightly and said with a serious look: "Shi Didu, do you still remember it. I have saved you. Do you admit it?"
Shi Didu's face was full of gratitude and awe. He nodded repeatedly and said firmly: "I will never forget it in my life, Brother Hong."
Hong Gang nodded slightly, as if he was quite satisfied with the answer. Then a sly smile appeared on his face and said, "Okay, now I will give you a chance to repay your kindness."
On the other side, Qin Feng frowned and looked at the woman in front of him with a serious face. He said in a calm tone: "I originally planned to say good things to you, but why do you always say nothing?"
The woman just lowered her head and still said nothing.
Seeing this, Qin Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness and gritted his teeth and said, "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being rude. I'm going to disfigure you!"
As soon as the woman said this, she was so scared that her face was pale and her whole body was trembling. She widened her eyes in horror. She quickly took out the poppy from her sleeves and said in a trembling voice: "No, no, I...I just went home to get some things. I...I was thinking that putting these in the meal will make the meal particularly fragrant."
The woman thought Qin Feng would definitely not understand these things.
Her face was full of panic and fear, and there was a hint of luck in her eyes.
Qin Feng stared at the woman with sharp eyes, holding the thing taken out of the woman's cuff in his hand, and said coldly: "This is called poppy, it will definitely be harmful to people after eating it, right?"
When the woman heard this, her face suddenly showed a look of shock, her eyes widened and her mouth slightly opened, as if she couldn't believe that Qin Feng knew about this thing.
She quickly waved her hand and shook her head, and denied in panic: "No...no, no, how can it be harmful?"
Qin Feng's face became more and more gloomy. He stepped forward and approached the woman. He said in a low and majestic voice: "Don't argue, hand over the things quickly!"
His eyes revealed unquestionable firmness.
The woman was frightened by Qin Feng's momentum, and her body shrank back involuntarily, her face turned pale, but she still tried to deny: "I...I really have nothing."
Qin Feng opened his eyes wide open, raised his voice and shouted: "You must hand over the things, don't force me to do it!" At this time, his face was full of anger and determination.
The shopkeeper in the backyard kept paced back and forth, frowned tightly, looked at the door from time to time, muttering: "What's going on? Why didn't you wait until she comes back?" His face was full of anxiety and he kept rubbing his hands.
"Oh, I didn't agree with her as a woman to go out at night!" The shopkeeper stopped and sighed heavily, his face full of worry and dissatisfaction, "but she insisted on doing this."
He grabbed his hair irritably again, and a hint of nervousness appeared in his eyes: "And outsiders must not know about the poppy issue, so he can only let her act secretly, but this is too uneasy."
After saying that, he began to walk back and forth anxiously again, and the anxiety on his face became more and more obvious.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the sky was getting late and late, and the shopkeeper's heart became more and more uneasy. He stood there and muttered anxiously, "I haven't come back so late yet, I'm afraid something might happen."
His face became very ugly, his brows frowned, his eyes full of panic and worry.
Then, he gritted his teeth and said with determination: "No, I have to go outside quickly to look for it." As he said that, he raised his foot and walked quickly outside.
Not far away, suddenly, Qin Feng appeared like a ghost in the darkness.
The shopkeeper was startled and was about to speak, but Qin Feng rushed forward without saying a word, raised his hand and hit the shopkeeper hard on the back of the neck.
The shopkeeper had no time to let out a muffled groan, and his eyes went dark and his body fell down softly.
Qin Feng looked at the shopkeeper who fainted on the ground, and a cold expression appeared on his face.
In the inn room, the dim candlelight swayed. Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin were lying on the bed hugging each other, with both faces blushing after passion.
Ouyang Linlin raised her head slightly, with a charming smile on her lips, her eyes circulated, and she said softly: "Hehe, doing such a thing in a strange place is really a unique flavor."
There was a hint of confusion and satisfaction in her eyes.
Xi Yu smiled lazily, reached out to caress Ouyang Linlin's hair, and replied in agreement: "Well, I do feel the same."
His eyes were full of doting and love, and his mouth was raised, showing a satisfied smile.
On the Xianbei side, Shi Di looked at Hong Gang with a puzzled look on his face, frowned and asked nervously: "Brother Hong, what do you need me to do?"
Hong Gang's face was gloomy, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his voice and said, "I want you to assassinate Tuoba Tianlong!"
When Shi Didu heard this, his eyes widened, his face full of shock, his mouth wide open, and he almost cried out.
Seeing this, Hong Gang's face changed. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover Shi Didu's mouth, his eyes widened, and he yelled in a low voice: "Shh, whisper, don't speak!"
Shi Didu's face was full of fear and incredibleness, and his body was trembling slightly.
Hong Gang looked at Shi Didu, took a deep breath, and said frankly: "Shi Didu, I am not hiding it. I hope Tuoba Tianlong dies. I want to find an opportunity to be the leader myself."
Shi Didu heard this, with a contradictory expression on his face, his brows frowned, and struggle and hesitation appeared in his eyes. He lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, then raised his head to look at Hong Gang, and said slowly: "Brother Hong, I...I don't want to do this."
When Hong Gang heard this, his face became a little ugly. He stared at Shi Didu tightly, gritted his teeth, and said, "Shi Didu, don't forget, I am your benefactor. If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago."
A trace of pain and guilt flashed across Shi Didu's face. He lowered his head and murmured: "I know, Brother Hong, I will never forget your kindness. But..."
Hong Gang interrupted him and said coldly: "Nothing, but you must help me. This is your chance to repay me."
Shi Di fell into silence, and his heart was filled with contradictions and struggles.
On the one hand, he was grateful to Hong Gang for saving his life and wanted to repay him; on the other hand, he was unwilling to do things that hurt others.
After a while, Shi Di gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind and said to Hong Gang: "Okay, Brother Hong, I promise you."
Hong Gang nodded with satisfaction, patted Shi Didu's shoulder, and said, "Good brother, I know you won't let me down. Don't worry, once you don't succeed, I will take good care of your family."
Shi Didu heard this and showed a painful expression on his face. He shook his head and said, "Brother Hong, if I fail, it is my own behavior and it has nothing to do with you. I will not offer you."
Hong Gang looked at Shi Didu, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes. He said, "Shi Didu, you are a person who values love and friendship. I have not intertwined you as a friend. But you must be careful, Tuoba Tianlong is not that easy to deal with."
Shi Didu nodded and said, "I know, Brother Hong. I will be careful." A firm expression appeared on his face, and a light of determination flashed in his eyes.
After hearing Shi Didu's words, Hong Gang nodded and said, "Well, you are right, you can't be in a hurry about this matter. You can plan it carefully and find a suitable opportunity before taking action."
Shi Didu responded and said, "Okay, Brother Hong, I understand."
Hong Gang patted Shi Didu's shoulder and said, "Then you should go back and rest quickly. Only by resting enough to maintain your energy can you do better."
Shi Didu nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Hong, you should rest early, too."
Hong Gang looked at Shi Dimu's back and felt relieved in his heart.
He knew that Shi Di was a reliable person and would definitely be able to do this.
He turned around and returned to his residence, lying on the bed, but could not sleep.
He thought about his plan and how to become the leader of the Xianbei.
He knew that this was a dangerous road, but he had no way out.
He must seize this opportunity and realize his ambitions.
In the inn, Xiaohong and Tuoba Yu were lying on the same bed. Tuoba Yu gently hugged Xiaohong, with a hint of shyness and discomfort on Xiaohong's face.
Tuoba Yu looked at Xiaohong and asked gently: "Xiaohong, can you tell me how Ouyang Linlin met Xi Yu? I want to know the story between them."
Xiaohong hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, since you want to know, I'll tell you."
So, Xiaohong began to tell the story of Ouyang Linlin and Xi Yu's acquaintance.
Then, Xiaohong asked softly: "Madam Tuoba, can you tell me about the life situation in the Xianbei region? I am very interested in it."
Tuoba Yu smiled and said, "Of course, Xiaohong. Life in the Xianbei area is a bit different from here. People there mainly live on nomadic life. They like to ride horses, shoot arrows, and live a free life."
When Xiaohong heard this, her eyes flashed with curiosity and asked, "Is their customs different from ours?"
Tuoba Yu thought for a while and said, "Well, the people in the Xianbei are more generous and enthusiastic. They like to eat meat and drink wine in big bowls. Moreover, their clothes are also very distinctive. Men usually wear robes and women wear bright skirts."
Xiaohong nodded and said, "It sounds very interesting. How are you living in the Xianbei region?"
Tuoba Yu showed a faint smile on his face and said, "I live a pretty good life in the Xianbei area. I learned to ride horses, shoot arrows, and make some good friends."
"Madam Tuoba, you are so awesome. I think you are like a hero, bravely facing the challenges of life."
"Xiaohong, you've been over the award. Actually, I have many shortcomings, but I will work hard to improve."
But soon, Tuoba Yu's expression became a little sad, and she remembered her brother Tuoba Lu.
Xiaohong noticed his changes and asked her with concern.
"Madam Tuoba, what's wrong with you? Did you remember something unhappy?"
Tuoba Yu forced a smile and shook his head.
"Xiaohong, I just suddenly remembered my brother Tuoba Lu. He is no longer here..."
Speaking of this, her voice was a little choked and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.
"Madam Tuoba, I know you are very sad. Your brother must also hope that you can live a good life. Don't be too sad, so you should take a break as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Xiaohong. You're right, I can't always be immersed in sadness. I will live well and let my brother rest in peace."
Ouyang Linlin lay on Xi Yu's chest, and gently drew circles on his chest with her fingers.
She saw Xi Yu suddenly looked worried, then raised her head and asked with concern: "Husband, what's wrong with you? Why are you so worried suddenly?"
Xi Yu sighed softly and said, "Linlin, I am worried about my brother Xi Zhicai's marriage."
Ouyang Linlin was stunned and then remembered what happened to Liu Xiaohong.
"Liu Xiaohong has no feelings for her brother. Even if she knows his identity, she will not like him." Xi Yu smiled bitterly.
"You said Liu Xiaohong is really a very unique woman. Husband, don't worry too much. I believe my uncle will definitely find someone with destiny."
Early the next morning, the sun shone through the windows, illuminating the entire Qingfeng Inn.
A waiter yawned and started the new day listlessly.
He frowned and said to the other guys with an anxious face, "Everyone, I have something urgent to do, so I have to ask the shopkeeper for leave."
The guys nodded and looked at the waiter's back as he hurriedly left.
The waiter walked around the inn and muttered, "Where has this shopkeeper gone?" A trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.
Then, he quickly walked to the backyard and looked around, hoping to see the shopkeeper.
However, the backyard was also empty and even the woman was missing.
The waiter scratched his head, frowned even more, and said to himself: "It's so strange. Where have people gone in broad daylight?"
He sighed helplessly, shrugged, and had to bite the bullet and return to the inn lobby.
A group of young men gathered around and asked curiously: "What's going on? Didn't you ask for leave?"
The waiter scratched his head and replied helplessly: "I searched all the inns inside and outside, but I didn't see the shopkeeper. There was no way, we should do it!" A bitter smile appeared on his face.
When one of the guys heard this, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Hey, the shopkeeper is not here, so can we be lazy today?"
The other guy nodded, and his face showed an excited look.
"Yes, yes, take the opportunity to rest, no one cares about us anyway."
The waiter looked at them, shook his head helplessly, and sighed and said, "You guys, you know how to be lazy. If the shopkeeper suddenly comes back, let's see how you explain it."
However, the guys didn't care, laughed and began to think about how to pass this relaxing day.
Xi Yu got up and secretly guard Qin Feng came to him.
"What's going on?" Xi Yu asked.
