Chapter 380: Interrogation
“Leave the interrogation to me!”
Qi Long looked at the only surviving black-robed man on the ground and a smile appeared on his face. However, this smile was no longer the frivolous smile that everyone saw during the day. Instead, it was a cold smile.
“No, I said, there’s no need to interrogate me. As long as you don’t kill me, I’ll say anything!”
The black-robed man was sweating profusely as he wailed non-stop.
Seeing that Luo Ningyu did not stop him, Qi Long acted as if he did not hear the wailing. He lifted the black-robed man with one hand and walked into an empty carriage.
Not long after, a miserable wail was heard.
“Ah!!!”
This miserable wail tore through the night. The birds and beasts in the forest were startled and fled in all directions.
Rong Ziyi wiped the sweat off his forehead. His expression was a little nervous. He stood respectfully beside Luo Ningyu and slowly said,
“There were two guards. Three merchants died and four were injured.”
Rong Ziyi could not help but feel some lingering fear. If it were not for Lin Bai and Wu Su, they would have been heavily injured on the first day of their journey.
However, Rong Ziyi could not be blamed for this. After all, they were not too far from the city and it was the first day of their journey. Who would have thought that there would be a night attack at such a place?
Luo Ningyu nodded silently and looked at Lin Bai and Wu Su:
“It’s all thanks to the two of you tonight. Otherwise, our casualties would have been even worse.”
Luo Ningyu also did not expect that these people would be so arrogant.
Ren Mu frowned, making his already wrinkled face even more wrinkled:
“As far as I know, there’s only one mountain nearby, but we’re still far from reaching their territory...”
Ren Mu had done his homework on the situation along the way, which was why he chose to sleep early in the carriage tonight.
“It’s like this indeed.” Wu Su nodded and made a rare comment.
Not long after, Qi Long carried a weak body and came to the front of the crowd, shaking off the blood on his hand.
The black-clothed man on the ground had already lost consciousness. He collapsed on the ground like a corpse.
“They’ve been interrogated. They’re from the Black Cloud Stockade.” Qi Long kicked the man in black who was lying on the ground.
Qi Long saw that no one was talking and said, “Don’t look at me like that. If we don’t interrogate them, what if what they told me is false?”
“...” Ren Mu didn’t say anything. It wasn’t because of Qi Long, but because he couldn’t figure out why the Black Cloud Stockade would come to such a far distance away from their sphere of influence to rob them?
“It’s at least three days from here to the Black Cloud stronghold... They’re here to rob?” Wu Su frowned, puzzled.
Qi Long stepped on the black-clothed man’s head and shook his head. “I didn’t manage to interrogate him on this point. This guy’s level is too low.”
“Maybe they’re really greedy for money? Although it’s within the two-day range, there aren’t many merchants rushing to Yong City from this road. They might take the risk.”
Ren Mu began to analyze.
Rong Ziyi nodded, “It’s very possible!”
Luo Ningyu and Lin Bai looked at each other but did not express any opinions.
“Then, let’s call it a day. Qi Long, you should directly get rid of this bandit, so that he won’t do evil in the future.” Luo Ningyu’s voice was very soft, but it did not allow anyone to question it, “Everyone, go and rest. We will travel according to the plan tomorrow.”
Qi Long smiled without saying anything. He picked up the black-clothed man and walked into the forest at the side. Not long after, a creepy voice came from the darkness.
It was already very late. Despite the excitement from before, the tiredness that swept over them caused many people to yawn. In addition, these bandits had already come once, so the second half of the night would definitely be safe.
Ren Mu, Qi Long, and Wu Su were silent as they walked into their respective carriages.
Rong Ziyi began to arrange the work of the guards. He also began to investigate if some of the goods were damaged or if anyone was injured.
Luo Ningyu and Lin Bai stood side by side at the side of the convoy. Looking at the convoy that had calmed down once again, Luo Ningyu slowly said,
“What do you think?”
Lin Bai held Little Green’s head in his hand. “This group of people should really be from Black Cloud Stockade, but the problem is that their goal may not be as simple as we think.”
“Thinking of what you told me...”
Luo Ningyu nodded in satisfaction. “Your analysis is good, but there is no evidence yet. When we continue to go deeper, we will be able to figure it out.”
After witnessing Luo Ningyu’s previous skills, Lin Bai felt that this woman was even more unfathomable. At first, Lin Bai thought that their cultivation levels were on par, but now…
Luo Ningyu chatted with Lin Bai for a while more before taking her leave and returning to the carriage. Not long after, the bright carriage dimmed.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Lin Bai yawned and returned to the carriage.
Little Qing rubbed against his arm and acted coquettishly.
“Well done!” Lin Bai praised.
Only then did Little Green blink her eyes, revealing a satisfied expression.
“Well done, then there’s a reward.”
Hearing this, Little Green’s eyes were shining. It didn’t need to guess what the reward Lin Bai mentioned was.
Lin Bai had been busy with matters in the city for the past few days. In addition to Luo Ningyu who had suddenly appeared, he also didn’t have the time to transmit his strength to the Spirit Beasts.
He had originally planned to hide in the carriage tonight and impart his cultivation to the little beasts so that he could get his cultivation back as soon as possible so that he could obtain the ability to fight for the treasures after the mystic realm was opened.
“System, I want to impart my cultivation to Little Green,” Lin Bai muttered in his heart.
[ Ding — ]
[ The host has given Little Green forty days of cultivation. ]
[ Twenty times of cultivation has been successfully triggered. ]
[ The host has received eight hundred days of cultivation. ]
After a wave of cultivation surged into her body, little apple revealed a satisfied expression and lay down on Lin Bai’s knees.
Lin Bai, on the other hand, felt the large amount of cultivation surging into his body. His expression was calm:
“Sigh, at this speed, it will still take a long time for me to break through!”
After passing on his cultivation, Lin Bai turned off the candles in the carriage and lay down on the bed. Little Green laid down on his chest, and the man and the beast fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, early morning.
After a simple morning, the convoy continued to head north.
Rong Ziyi yawned and came to Lin Bai’s carriage with panda eyes. He said gratefully,
“Young Master Lin, it was all thanks to you last night. If things continue to be bad, then miss will blame me...”
After the incident yesterday, Rong Ziyi did not sleep the whole night. After repeatedly exhorting the guards, even if he had the mood to sleep, the sky had already lit up.
Lin Bai shook his head, indicating that there was no need to be polite.
Just then, a familiar chuckle sounded.
Qi Long entered Lin Bai’s carriage naturally and sat down cross-legged.
