Chapter 314. Let’s Wait for Them to Speak First (II)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

After saying goodbye, Zhang Cheng left with the rest people. As for the three businessmen who were killed before, Zhang Cheng buried them here with the others’ help.

In the time without a car, the danger was always with the trade caravan. But no matter who died during the way, his families would get a generous pension.

“And they’re…” Looking at Long Xiaoyuan and Ying Feng, w.a.n.g Qi asked smilingly.

Ouyang didn’t answer him at once, yet looked at Long. Long then said with a polite smile, “Lin Yuan.”

Ying Feng then said, “Lin Feng.”

Ouyang smiled, “I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is… Ouyang Chuan.”

“Ouyang Chuan?” The four leaders’ expressions changed greatly as they heard his name.

w.a.n.g Mao couldn’t help but ask, “Ouyang Chuan… the one who followed the Witch Doctor?”

With a slight smile, Ouyang Chuan said, “Yes.”

“No wonder you have such a high cultivation on martial arts.” Immediately, they became more enthusiastic towards Ouyang.

Being guided by the four leaders, they soon arrived at the deep of the Black Wind Forest.

There stood a lot of rooms. It should be the place where the four leaders and their fellows lived.

Deep inside the Black Wind Forest, this place looked pretty great.

“This way, please.”

As they walked, Long roughly calculated the number of people who lived here. It was almost more than 200. With so many people and the advantage of the terrain, no wonder that even the army couldn’t conquer here successfully.

This day, the four leaders treated them with great hospitality.

When they went to bed on the night, the four leaders gathered in a room.

“Big brother, Ouyang Chuan was not only with the Witch Doctor, but also related to the royal.”

“Yes, he’s right. I still feel the other two persons are a bit strange, big brother.”

“Speaking of them, one is a master of martial arts while the other is just better than the ordinary people, lacking energy and vitality when he walks… It’s a wired team.”

“That trade caravan is heading for the Eastern Darkness.” w.a.n.g Qing suddenly said.

The rest people were stunned for a while, “Yeah. So what?”

w.a.n.g Qi’s eyes became secretive, with a cold light flas.h.i.+ng across, “Do you know who is likely to be that man who called himself Ling Yuan?”

“Who?”

w.a.n.g Qi directly raised his hand and made a gesture which meant the emperor in the martial art community.

“Really?” They all got shocked! “Big brother. How is it possible? If he is, is the… then how dare he go to the Eastern Darkness only with two guardians? This is so…”

“Yeah. Big brother, are you sure about this?”

“Have you ever noticed that Ouyang would look at that person subconsciously every time before he replied to us? He was waiting for that man’s hint.”

“You’re so careful, big brother. I’ve missed it.”

“Then what should we do next if he is the emperor, big brother?”

“Don’t forget that we are bandits. Considering the ident.i.ty of that man, we shouldn’t leave him here.”

“That’s right. If the Tianlong Dynasty has wrongly believed that we kidnapped their emperor, we will get into big trouble. You know, the reason why Qing Yuechun hasn’t attacked us is that we still don’t touch his bottom line. Besides, we can offer him the news from the Eastern Darkness sometimes. But if he really wrongly believes that we kidnapped the emperor, he will definitely come with the army and destroy the whole Black Wind Forest!”

“What he said is true. Big brother, we have to…”

“Have you ever thought of why Ouyang chose to stay here?” w.a.n.g Qi said.

“Em?” the rest people were surprised, “Big brother, do you mean that it was actually that man who wanted to stay?”

“Yes. Otherwise, Ouyang wouldn’t have said that.”

“Ah? What is he going to do?”

” Is that possible that he wants to root us out?”

“Then big brother, shall we take action first to gain the initiative if so?”

“Of course not! Take action first? What the h.e.l.l are you talking about? If he gets any hurt here, none of our men can leave here alive, including us!”

“Exactly! Do not say that again, or we will get in trouble.”

“Well…” w.a.n.g Mao felt a bit wronged, “I’m just trying to help.”

“But you choose the worst way.” Both w.a.n.g Jiu and w.a.n.g Shu glared at him.

w.a.n.g Mao no longer spoke.

Then w.a.n.g Jiu said, “Big brother, do you have another plan since you still agreed on them to stay here even though you knew the ident.i.ty of that man?”

“w.a.n.g Jiu,” w.a.n.g Qi smiled gently, “You know best about me.”

“So,” w.a.n.g Mao and w.a.n.g Shu exclaimed, “big brother, don’t tell us that you want…”

“The reason why that man heads for the Eastern Darkness must be for the sake of that person, who is also my enemy. Now since he chose to stay here and used us to cover his ident.i.ty, I have no reason to give up the opportunity.” w.a.n.g Qi said, in a low voice.

w.a.n.g Shu immediately refuted, “But big brother, you should know it’s like asking a tiger for its skin to cooperate with the man in the imperial court.”

“Yes, I agree. The man in the imperial court is the craftiest. We cannot…”

“But if we don’t do that, we will never take revenge on our enemy.” w.a.n.g Qi interrupted w.a.n.g Mao’s speaking.

w.a.n.g Jiu gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind, “What the big brother said is right! We had vowed to be avenged on big brother’s enemy sooner or later when we became sworn brothers. Even if that man wants to use us, it’s all worth it as long as we can take revenge successfully.”

However, w.a.n.g Qi, at this time, suddenly fell into silence, then he suddenly said, “Actually, you don’t have to do this. I can do it totally by myself.”

“Don’t look down upon us! Big brother! We can help!”

“Don’t say that! Big brother. We are brothers. Don’t you remember?”

“Yes! You’ll lose your brothers if you say that again.”

Looking at the three persons who stared at him angrily, w.a.n.g Qi had to smile with resignation, “Alright. I’m sorry. I won’t say that again.”

“Remember! We had sworn to live and die together. The next time you dare to say it, we will turn against you.”

“Big brother. You once helped us to take revenge. And our hands are all stained with blood, but everything we did is worthwhile as long as we’re still together. Now, it’s only your revenge that hasn’t finished yet. It will be a shame on us if we let you do it on your own.”

“Exactly! Big brother!”

“Okay, I see. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t say that. My apology.”

“You better be.” w.a.n.g Mao snorted with dissatisfaction.

His childish behavior made the others laugh out loudly.

“Big brother, then… what should we do next since we already decided to cooperate with them?”

“Right. What are we supposed to do?”

After thinking for a while, w.a.n.g Qi said, “Do not worry. Let’s wait for them to speak first.”
