Chapter 1602 There is something else behind the scenes

I will fight against injustice when I see it on the road. This is Yang Yiyi's principle as a hero. She just can't stand injustice.

So when she heard that bandits had robbed the convoy, she was excited on the spot.

But Yang Yiyi couldn't go alone, and it would be inconvenient to move quickly if there were too many people.

Of course, it wouldn't work for someone like Wu Shaoyi who had to be carried by Yang Yiyi on the mountain road.

So Zhou Yuxuan asked Qin Yan and Yang Yiyi to take a look. If there was trouble, they would come back and discuss it in detail.

Ning Xian'er wanted to go with her, but protecting Tang Lianyu was the most important thing now. No one could tell when the Anxiang Hall would come again. Ning Xian'er, a capable father, should stay.

Yang Yiyi was not sleepy when she had something to do. She had a quick lunch and followed Qin Yan into the mountains.

Qin Yan knew where the Haishi Gang was. A few years ago, she had visited the dock with the brothers of the Sixteen Villages. Although she had only been there once, she could still find it roughly.

Both of them were very good at Qinggong, and they moved very quickly, almost without stopping for a moment, and flew away.

After climbing over two mountains, Qin Yan led Yang Yiyi through the forest and found a stream flowing along the dead leaves. Then they followed it and came to a hidden valley.

The entrance of this valley is narrow, and the inside is wide. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Outsiders rarely find it, and even locals will not go so deep into the forest.

As soon as they came in, they saw a mountain stronghold in the distance, and there was a flag with the word "Hai".

"Don't go over there, let's go around to the side first."

Qin Yan grabbed Yang Yiyi who wanted to approach directly, and the two jumped and stepped on the mountain wall to go around the side, using the sparse bamboo and wood on the cliff as cover, and soon approached the mountain stronghold.

The scale of this mountain stronghold is not small, it looks like a village, and you can even see the cultivated farmland and children chasing and playing inside.

There are not only bandits in the bandit stronghold, but also family members.

It was the first time for Yang Yiyi to see the bandit village, which was quite novel. Qin Yan grew up in the Sixteen Village, so she was naturally familiar with the scenery in the village.

She led Yang Yiyi to continue moving on the mountain wall and walk to the back.

"Look, there are people in the cage."

Looking at the position Qin Yan pointed to, there were several large iron cages in the village diagonally below, which were large and small enough to be used to lock bears.

But now there were a few people in the cage who looked like servants, sitting dejectedly.

Miss Jiao said that her father came to argue with the Haishi Gang, and of course he didn't come alone, and these should be the servants he brought.

But there was no one who looked like Miss Jiao's father here, and the age was not right.

Continue to walk back.

The front part was a typical mountain village scenery, which Qin Yan had long been accustomed to, but the second half, Qin Yan couldn't help frowning.

Generally, when there was nothing to do, the village would organize young and strong labor training, and many people were indeed seen standing in the open field at the back.

But this didn't look like training.

The people on the field were divided into four groups, all holding weapons, looking like they were going to fight.

It is inevitable to have conflicts in the village, and different villages have different solutions, usually fighting.

But you can't form cliques to have conflicts, which will cause the whole village to collapse.

Thinking of what Miss Jiao said about the sudden death of the leader of the Hai Shi Gang recently, it may be that everyone in the gang is dissatisfied and starts to form cliques to become the boss.

Qin Yan was thinking about this in her mind, but Yang Yiyi seemed eager to try.

When can we go down to fight?

"You should be honest, it's better not to fight if you can."

Li Chengxi said:

"You go a little further in, I don't see Miss Jiao's father here."

Hai Shi Gang and the Sixteen Villages are just brothers on the road. They usually give each other a hand when they report their names. It's not that close.

Qin Yan doesn't care whether the Hai Shi Gang will fall apart or change a new leader.

Anyway, let's first determine where the person is, and then talk about the Haishi Gang.

The two continued to carefully circle back, bypassing the largest open space, and there should be a warehouse or something like that behind.

After a while, the two found several carriages with flags with the word "Jiao" on them, which should have been robbed recently.

But there was still no sign of Miss Jiao's father. Could he have been killed?

Thinking about it, it doesn't seem right. That family looks very rich. Isn't it more cost-effective to hold someone hostage for a ransom than to kill him?

Miss Jiao hasn't received any messages asking for money in the past two days. It shouldn't be a simple kidnapping.

After taking a rough look at the structure of the Haishi Gang, Qin Yan whispered:

"Let's jump in from the back and see where Master Jiao is imprisoned."

Under normal circumstances, as long as Qin Yan swaggers to the gate of the village to show his identity and explain his purpose, the Haishi Gang is still willing to do a favor.

After all, the name of the Sixteen Villages is very loud among the bandits, and it is not difficult to give face.

But the current situation of the Haishi Gang is hard to say. It feels like they are fighting for the leader. There may be other reasons for Master Jiao being detained, and the other party may not give face.

In this case, being straightforward may alert the enemy, so Qin Yan decided to go in first. If Master Jiao can be rescued, that would be the best.

Yang Yiyi had no objection. She had wanted to go in a long time ago, and she might even want to start fighting directly...

Sneaking into the village was just a piece of cake for Qin Yan. She was more worried about whether Yang Yiyi would make too much noise.

But unexpectedly, Qin Yan found that Yang Yiyi could not only keep up with her, but also moved more quietly than her.

Dengyunbu was not learned in vain, this skill is very outstanding in terms of speed, stillness and stability.

Since Yang Yiyi could keep up, Qin Yan became more bold, moving quickly along the corners in broad daylight. Sometimes when someone just passed by, as long as you look back, you can see Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan sneaking forward, which is very exciting to watch.

But then again, this village is really not small. Qin Yan took Yang Yiyi to several houses that looked like they might be holding people, but they still found nothing.

As they walked, Qin Yan led Yang Yiyi to the largest house, which looked like the Juyi Hall.

The two of them stuck to the shadows of the wall, and Qin Yan signaled Yang Yiyi not to move.

A voice came from a window not far from the two of them:

"Brother, you are so timid, isn't it a disgrace to our brothers!"

"It is for the sake of our brothers that we must be careful."

"I think what you said is right, Huzi, you are just too reckless."

"But if it weren't for me, where would the brothers get their gold and silver treasures?"

"Huzi!"

"Hmph!"

It sounded like there were three people inside, and it was unclear if there were more.

Then, another voice said:

"That old man from the Jiao family..."
