Chapter 150 The Heart of a Villain

Liang Xiao was tired for a day, and his injuries were so painful that he was exhausted. He drank a lot of alcohol. Now that he met Qin Ge and others, his safety was finally guaranteed and his spirit was much relaxed. He lay on the shaking ox cart, looking up at the dark night sky, sleepyness surged like a tide, and was about to submerge him.

But for some reason, he couldn't sleep, his head was dizzy, and his eyelids were fighting like a grinder, but he just couldn't sleep. It seemed that something was always preventing him from falling asleep.

Liang Xiao was drowsy and tossed and turned.

"The wound hurts again?" Wei Qing, who was snoring just now, turned over, pillowed his head with one hand under his head, reached over with the other, and touched Liang Xiao's forehead. "It seems that it should be fine, are you nervous?"

Liang Xiao closed his eyes and was in great pain. "No, I always feel something is wrong, but I can't say something is wrong."

"I feel this way, too." Wei Qing said in a muffled voice: "Maybe it's because the Minyue powers are numerous, we are not safe yet."

Liang Xiao responded casually. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up, pulled the wound, and suddenly felt so painful that he felt a lot of sweat. Qin Ge, who was leading the way in front of the ox cart, listened, slowed down, raised the torch, leaned down, and looked at Liang Xiao.

"What's wrong?"

Liang Xiao didn't care about the wound, and he said hurriedly: "Brother Qin, after you escort the adults back to the city, have you heard any rumors that are unfavorable to the adults?"

Qin Ge was stunned for a moment and nodded. "There are some, but I don't understand the local language very much, and I don't know what they say."

Liang Xiao quickly asked Qin Ge to call the two Weiyanglangs. Qin Ge didn't understand the intention, but he still did. As soon as Weiyanglang came, Liang Xiao asked anxiously: "After you arrived in Wu County, has anyone asked about the whereabouts of Lord Yan?"

The two Weiyoro looked at each other and nodded.

Liang Xiao's forehead was covered in cold sweat. "What did Li Jiao say? Did you cover up for the adults?"

Weiyoro grinned, as if he thought Liang Xiao’s problem was a little strange. They were ordered to escort Yan Zhu, but Yan Zhu never took them seriously and called them around. He ordered them a lot. Li Jiao accumulated a lot of resentment, and it would be good if he didn’t take it as a result. How could he cover up Yan Zhu?

When Liang Xiao saw Weiyanglang's expression, he immediately understood. Although the Yan family was a wealthy family in Wu County, Yan Zhu himself was not a rich man. From Wang Xing's attitude towards him, it can be seen that his reputation among the villagers was average and his family was not very good. Returning to his hometown with integrity was the first step for him to return to his hometown, and he was always very proud of it. Therefore, he stayed in Jiangdu for two more days and enjoyed the hospitality that Jiangdu King Liu Fei gave him.

However, before he returned to Wuxian, he was kidnapped in Wangjiangyi and fell a lot. Generally speaking, people with poor backgrounds will have a little inferiority complex, especially fearing that people will look down on him, and saying that he is not. Yan Zhu lost such a big face. How can he not be anxious?

When he was at Wangjiangyi, why did he have to clean up his clothes and make a move? He wanted to safeguard his dignity and not let his despicable look fall into the eyes of others to avoid leaving any troubles. When he was on the island, Yan Zhu cooperated so much, which was not because he understood his intention and became a good impression of him.

But Li Jiao obviously did not understand this. After he arrived in Wu County, he might have revealed the truth about Yan Zhu being robbed intentionally or unintentionally. He might even tease Yan Zhu a few words. The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. If these words fell into the ears of those who did not deal with Yan Zhu, the problem would be big.

If Yan Zhu, who was determined to show his face in front of the villagers, was ridiculed, could he not be angry?

Insulted in front of the people of Wuxian Township, Yan Zhu may be reminded. To be embarrassed in his hometown, at most, it is shameful, and there is no loss in other things. But if such a thing is spread to the capital and the emperor, his future may be affected. If you want to kill these things in the bud, you must clean up those who know these inside stories.

To stimulate Li Jiao, I'm afraid it's the first step to kill someone with a knife. Li Jiao and him failed to win even if they compete with him. How could he win his master Huan Yuan?

Apart from Li Jiao, who knew most well the person Yan Zhu looked embarrassed at that time? He, Wei Qing, and Qin Ge.

The three of them are in the wild now, while the bandits in Minyue are robbing everywhere. If an encounter occurs, they will be in danger.

Although Liang Xiao was not 100% sure, he felt that this possibility was very high. Otherwise, in the current tense situation, even if Yan Zhu was angry, he should have known to keep a swordsman like Qin Ge by his side instead of sending him out to find him.

You should not have the intention to harm others, and you should be careful of others. Yan Zhu is not a moral gentleman. He is a traitor who is fickle in Qin and Chu. It would be a bit unrealistic to expect him to be strict with his discipline and be kind to others. He would smile after being insulted. He would be the most likely reaction.

In fact, this may also be the choice of most Han people. The only difference is whether to go to the door with a knife or use a trick.

"Where are fewer thieves?"

"What did you say?" Qin Ge was not satisfied yet. His IQ was obviously not as good as his swordsmanship.

"I said, it's too dangerous for us to walk like this. Once we encounter a robbery, we are outnumbered and we may encounter trouble. You guys can leave quickly, what should we do?"

Qin Ge was stunned and nervous. Before, the three of them rode on horseback, even if they encountered the number of Yue thieves who had the upper hand, they could still run away. Now, with Liang Xiao and Wei Qing, two seriously injured people, they could not get up quickly. Once they were surrounded, they would likely be wiped out.

"What should we do?"

Liang Xiao turned around and said to the man who drove the ox cart: "Don't rush to go to the county town. Let's get away from the thief first and go to the place where they are most unlikely to go."

The man responded, pulled the old cow and walked north. The people of Minyue came to rob, and they would not go to wasteland without others. He was a local, so he naturally knew where the safest place was.

Qin Ge realized the danger and asked the two men to put out the torches and be careful, while asking Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao was not polite and said his worries. Finally, he emphasized that this was just his guess and not necessarily the truth. Perhaps Yan Zhu was not as bad as he imagined. These two sentences were like burning oil on the fire. Qin Ge's face changed color. Although Wei Qing did not speak, he also realized the danger and the corners of his eyes were beating.

Liang Xiao lay on the ox cart. He guessed the hidden murderous intent, but instead felt relaxed and fell asleep for a while.

In his dream, he dreamed of Yan Zhu, Huan Yuan, and Liu Ling. What surprised him even more was that he actually dreamed of Liu Fei, the King of Jiangdu. When he woke up from the dream, he squinted his eyes and looked at the sunshine in the distance, and was in a daze.

He had met Liu Fei several times, but except for Liu Fei having a fondness for him, a boy from Guangling, he did not have much contact. It was really unreasonable that Liu Fei appeared in his dream.

"A Xiao, it's almost dawn, what should I do now? Do you want to go back to the city?"

Liang Xiao was about to nod and agreed, but suddenly had an idea. "No, let's take a break here." Liang Xiao sat up, scratched his head, and pinched a lice from his sticky and knotted hair, and naturally strangled it with his nails. Listening to the crisp "cracking" sound, Liang Xiao couldn't help but sigh that it would be fine if he didn't wash his head for ten days and half a month without washing his head. What's even more exaggerated is that he was not surprised at all.

"Brother Qin..." Liang Xiao looked at the blood and dirt on his nails and was moved. "Please come quietly. I thought of a plan to break the enemy and want to discuss it with him." (To be continued)
