Chapter 626: Chapter 631 Her Identity_1
However, the words Qin Longyun had just spoken still caused their hearts to race.
They had chosen Xuan Eagle Mountain Village precisely because they hoped for a day when they could avenge their grievances.
If the Yin Family had already received their due retribution, what reason was there to stay in this godforsaken place?
The few of them huddled together, whispering quietly as they retreated.
"Third Master has an affair with a woman from the Yin Family; I always felt the village wouldn’t possibly exterminate the Yin Family," Monkey said in a low voice.
"Are you suggesting that what Elder Xuan told us about attacking the Yin Family was a lie?"
"Most definitely a bluff. We’ve been in the mountains for three or four years, right? I’ve never heard of Xuan Eagle Mountain Village making a move against the Yin Family."
"Forget about avenging us. Just look at the life we lead here in the village. It’s worse than the animals Third Master keeps. Honestly, I’d rather live freely as a farmer."
"Especially under Third Master; at the slightest provocation, we could be fed to the hawks. I don’t want to stay here any longer."
Seeing the timing was right, Monkey then said, "We’re all born of fathers and mothers; I don’t want to die without reason."
"Monkey, you’re the smartest. Why don’t you go down the mountain to gather some intelligence?"
"For the sake of our brothers’ future, I’ll definitely make the trip. It’s just that if Third Master starts asking questions..."
Monkey deliberately trailed off.
"Rest easy; who has the time to check on that now? We’ll cover your shift. If anyone asks, we’ll say you’re injured."
Only then did Monkey nod: "With your word, I’m at ease. Wait for my news!"
After speaking, he hid in the underbrush, waiting for the Mountain Eagle to move farther away.
Once the others had retreated, Monkey confidently emerged and ran towards where Qin Longyun was.
"Lord, thankfully you understood my hand signals. There’s an ambush at the entrance of the valley. If you’d left, you’d surely have been shot into porcupines!"
Monkey patted his chest.
He was the spy Qin Longyun An had planted in Xuan Eagle Mountain Village.
Qin Longyun nodded: "Be careful. It’s a critical moment; don’t blow your cover."
Monkey nodded, squatting down to smear his face with two handfuls of mud.
Just then, the sound of galloping hooves suddenly rang out.
"Quick, mount up! We’ve taken care of all the guards at the entrance!"
The guard who had been left at the entrance shouted loudly.
As long as they were fast enough, they should be able to leave Black Wind Valley without any trouble.
Without further delay, Qiao Duo’er and her companions mounted their horses and carriages, then sped toward the exit of Black Wind Valley.
"What’s happening outside?" Qin Longyun asked.
"We knocked out the gate guards and dressed as them. Later we discovered someone setting up an ambush, so we spiked their drink with drugs, knocking them all out cold. A few who didn’t drink got the chop," one retorted, his eyes brimming with excitement.
Another guard praised, "Lord Qin, you truly foresee like a deity. Without those two jars of wine, we would have been clueless about what to do!"
Qin Longyun narrowed his eyes because he knew that the entire operation had been orchestrated by Qiao Duo’er.
If it weren’t for her arrangements today, they would never have made it out in one piece.
She also came up with the sleeve arrow, and her decisiveness in killing just now, with every strike lethal, especially when she wounded Xuan Qing. Her performance was nothing like a normal person’s.
Who exactly was she?
He had sent people to investigate her background, and the conclusion was that Qiao Duo’er was simply a village girl.
Born to a peasant family in Da Tao Village, she later married into Big Willow Village.
Though her appearance had greatly changed, it had been gradually so, and the people of Big Willow Village could all attest to it.
