Chapter 1694: Silent as a cicada(1/2)

After Tian Yan left, Gao Jianli and others dispersed and went about whatever they should be busy with.

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang left the cave and walked to a remote corner of the forest to have a private chat.

Through the sparse moonlight, Gai Nie glanced at his junior brother and said meaningfully:

"Tian Yan has a problem."

"This is obvious." Wei Zhuang replied without blinking, "This is a fact that is obvious at a glance."

"Have you noticed something wrong with her a long time ago?" Ge Nie then asked.

Wei Zhuang didn't answer, just curled his lips and smiled, turned to look at his senior brother and asked, "What about you?"

After a moment of silence, Gai Nie replied in a low voice, "Tian Meng's death is a big problem... I have some guesses."

"Me too." Wei Zhuang raised his head and glanced at the thinning moon, and replied calmly.

Gai Nie looked at his junior brother meaningfully and pointed out, "It seems you know more than me."

"It doesn't matter how much. What's important is how the situation will develop next." Wei Zhuang still looked like he didn't care, "Also, I guessed more than you did."

"Then what are you going to do?" Gai Nie didn't care about Wei Zhuang's competitiveness and asked calmly, "Let it go?"

"What do you think?" Wei Zhuang still didn't answer and asked instead.

Gai Nie's expression remained unchanged, his eyes changed slightly, and he replied in a deep voice, "She left too many clues and flaws..."

"So, it's time for us to track down these clues and flaws." Wei Zhuang also gave his own answer.

The two brothers looked at each other, nodded in agreement, and turned back to the cave together.

At this time, the full moon in the sky became thinner and more transparent.

After a long night of work, it was almost dawn.

………………

Daze Mountain, above a certain stream.

As I said before, the headquarters of the farm has a very favorable geographical environment, with complex and changeable terrain, including mountains and water, and everything you need.

There is naturally no shortage of waterways.

Zuimenglou, a famous romantic place affiliated to Shennongtang, happened to be built next to a waterway.

Therefore, taking the water route is also a way to get to Zuimeng Tower, and it is also the simpler one.

The Zhu family and his party are now on a small black-capped boat.

Although they did not expect that they would end up in this situation, the Zhu family still made some secret preparations.

For example, arrange some of your own manpower on various waterways in advance for emergencies.

Use it now.

The boatman was rocking the oars at the stern of the boat. Zhu Jia and Liu Ji sat feebly under the middle tent to rest, while Sheng Qi and Wu Kuang stood at the bow.

Shengqi's condition is not good either, and he should actually rest.

It's just that he always wanted to be strong. Even though he was very weak at this time, he still managed to hold on for a while. Besides, there was really no room for him to rest on this small boat.

It would be good if the boat could be held up without being directly pushed over by him and capsized.

At the bow of the ship, Sheng Qi glanced sideways at the words "Ten Evils" on Wu Kuang's head, hesitated and asked:

"That tattoo..."

Generally, people who commit serious crimes will have their faces tattooed.

On the one hand, as part of the punishment, everyone who knows you or has seen you knows that you are or have been a felon.

On the one hand, it is to confirm the identity so as to prevent the prisoner from being exchanged casually.

The ten evils are the tattoos of one of the serious crimes.

Similar tattoo characters include death edict, no pardon, heavy violence, etc., each with different meanings.

For example, the above three meanings are to use death as a punishment, and will not be forgiven no matter what, and the sin is serious.

Shengqi basically has these tattoos on his body. After all, he is a man who has been through the death prisons of the seven countries. Apart from scars, there are many tattoos on his body.

The tattoo on Wu Kuang's face means that he has committed a serious crime and was caught.

Wu Kuang was probably used to the tattoo on his forehead. After hearing Sheng Qi’s question, he didn’t do much, and just said with a hint of sadness:

"It's a long story..."

Shengqi was worried about exposing the sadness of his brother who finally reunited, so he immediately pretended to be bold and said:

"it's not a big deal."

"You are a very evil person, and I will not forgive you. We are two people who bear a bad reputation."

"In order to survive and for today, we have indeed done many unforgivable evil deeds." Wu Kuang added with emotion.

In the past, when they were still the hall masters of Kuei Hall, it was not without the blood of innocent people on their hands.

It's just that, as people in the world of martial arts, accidental injuries are always inevitable. It doesn't matter if you don't care, or it's an unintentional mistake.

At least, not intentionally.

But things changed later.

The two of them joined Luo Wen one after another, one developed into Luo Wen's first-class killer, and the other became a notorious black swordsman.

It can be said that countless innocent people died under their swords, and now, they did it on purpose.

Even if you don't want to.

"Hahaha..." Sheng Qi heard this without much psychological burden. His moral bottom line was not as good as Wu Kuang's. Instead, he laughed a few times and said proudly, "This is what we call brothers, isn't it?"

Wu Kuang showed a helpless smile and did not answer.

Sheng Qi then suppressed his smile and said seriously, "I was living in the world, and I accidentally heard that you seemed to be alive, but you committed a serious crime and were sent to death row."

Wu Kuang smiled jokingly and said, "So you made a big fuss in the Seven Kingdoms Death Prison and became a famous black swordsman in the world."

"Since you know I'm looking for you, why..." Sheng Qi was a little excited after hearing this and wanted to question Wu Kuang.

He had worked hard to find Wu Kuang for so many years. Why didn't the other party want to see him even though he knew what he was doing?

Even if you are not sure who is behind the scenes or the purpose of Shengqi's search for someone, you can still try to make indirect contact.

Why, no information is revealed at all?

Wu Kuang lowered his eyes and replied in a low and confused tone, "Because I'm afraid."

"Afraid of getting an answer I don't expect."

"I'm also afraid that it will affect the...important mission I am shouldering."

Sheng Qi skipped the first half of the sentence very wisely.

Wu Kuang only said that he was afraid of getting answers he didn't want to get, but he didn't say what the answers he didn't want to get were.

Maybe he didn't want the answer that Shengqi had harmed him, or maybe he didn't want Tian Mi to harm him.

Women are like clothes, brothers are like brothers and sisters.

However, it is hard to tell whether limbs that do not grow on one's body are more important than clothes.

When Wu Kuang and Tian Mi got together, Sheng Qi actually didn't support it - he would be the only one who supported it.

Although Tian Mi was just an inconspicuous branch of the Tian clan at that time, she was still a member of the Tian clan.

As a leading figure in the non-Tian clan, his brother married a woman named Tian, ​​which is not good-looking no matter how you say it.

However, Wu Kuang was really obsessed with Tian Mi at that time, so he could only hold his nose and admit it.

It was precisely because the two had conflicts over Tian Mi that Wu Kuang became so angry after seeing the misleading scene that he started to fight Sheng Qida without even thinking about it.

Otherwise, with his mind, he should have asked clearly first.

Even after so many years, Sheng Qi still remembered this, so he couldn't be sure whether Wu Kuang was more afraid of being betrayed by his brother or by his beloved woman.

Simply don’t talk about this topic too much, just pretend it doesn’t exist.

"The mission..." Shengqi thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Is it related to the snare?"

Wu Kuang nodded.

The Zhu family sitting behind them immediately thought of who assigned the task.

The scandal that year was all handled by Xia Kui, including Wu Kuang's 'corpse'.

If Wu Kuang later went on a secret mission, he would naturally have something to do with Xia Kui.

After thinking about it, the Zhu family couldn't help but sigh, "So, Xia Kui had already noticed the penetration of the net at that time."

Wu Kuang immediately responded, "Not bad!"

"When the Kui Kui Tang scandal broke out, Xia Kui immediately realized that there was a problem within the farmhouse."

"Although he didn't have time to find out which part had the problem, he judged that everything was the work of the snare."
To be continued...
