After a short while, Han Yun arrived at the mountain village led by his men. He coldly scanned the group of people and dismounted with an impassive face.
He walked step by step towards the two men kneeling there.
At this moment, the two brothers, Da Mao and Xiao Mao, were trembling with fear, their faces as pale as paper.
After Han Yun walked over, one of Qingyun Pavilion’s subordinates approached him, bowed respectfully, and immediately informed him of the results they had obtained from their interrogation.
After listening, Han Yurou’s deep eyes only stared at the two brothers kneeling on the ground.
He stared at Da Mao and Xiao Mao, making their scalps tingle.
Da Mao, on the other hand, seemed like someone who had seen the world. Although his body trembled violently, he managed to hold back and didn’t make a sound.
But Xiaomo was really getting overwhelmed. He had just been stared at, questioned, and even had a dagger held to his neck by those people.
Although he was afraid, he didn’t lose control completely. But at this moment, being stared at by this man, he felt like he was being stared at by death itself. His body trembled even worse, and for a moment, he thought maybe this was his last day.
At that moment, Xia Mao suddenly felt that the man they had rescued earlier didn’t seem as scary anymore.
At this moment, being stared at by Han Yun, Xiao Mao burst into tears again, repeatedly kowtowing to Han Yun, “Hero… Hero, spare my life… This one… This one really doesn’t know what’s going on…”
Han Yun’s deep eyes stared at him, without rushing to speak.
His gaze moved from the faces of these two men to their backs of their hands.
Sure enough, one of the men’s hands was exposed, bearing a truly gruesome scar.
Han Yunyin’s deep eyes narrowed slightly, then she walked towards the person step by step.
Standing there before him, he knelt down.
At this moment, there was no emotion on his face, but it made the two brothers, Damao and Xia Mao, tremble with fear and get goosebumps.
And, unable to bear the psychological strain, Little Mao was immediately scared unconscious, his eyes rolling back in his head.
“!”
His sudden fainting spell caught the people in Qingyun Pavilion off guard, leaving them both amused and baffled.
Does their master seem so sinister and terrifying?
Han Yun’s figure paused, but at this moment, he only glanced coldly at the person who had fainted.
He glanced coolly at his subordinates behind him.
These subordinates immediately nodded slightly, and one of them quickly walked over, dragging Xiaomo aside to administer first aid.
Only then did the people from Qingyun Pavilion press Xiao Mao’s tiger’s mouth and the point between his eyebrows, after a moment Xiao Mao slowly regained consciousness.
But the panic in his eyes was still very obvious. After waking up, seeing the people from Qingyun Pavilion so close to him, and with his hand controlled by this person, he immediately opened his mouth to shout loudly.
Fortunately, the people at Qingyun Pavilion had already figured out his character during the hour they interacted with him.
At this point, I had already guessed what he would do after waking up, so before he could even utter a sound, the subordinates of Qingyun Pavilion had already covered his mouth with their sleeves.
“Calm down and don’t make a sound,” he threatened in a low voice. “Our master dislikes crying and shouting.”
If he were to develop murderous intent, not only would you die, but today you might not even have a complete corpse left.
“!!!”
As expected, hearing the threats from the man in front of him, Xiao Mao trembled with fear, his eyes filled with horror, even more terrified than before he fainted.
But upon hearing these threats, he was too afraid to even breathe.
Fearing he might truly anger the so-called master his mouth spoke of, by then he and his older brother would truly be in danger of losing their lives.
At this moment, seeing that the younger brother had calmed down, Han Yun’s deep gaze remained fixed on Da Mao’s face, “Where did he go?”
Although Damao’s heart was just as flustered and frightened as Xiaomiao’s,
But facing this person’s questioning, he bit his lip and still shook his head, “Little…little one really doesn’t know.”
“That man heard yesterday that someone had entered the village, so he hurried with my two brothers to the back mountain. After entering the mountain, the man seemed to vanish into thin air. My brothers and I truly don’t know where he went.”
“Han Yun furrowed her brows, “Did he say anything to you before leaving?”
“…and he didn’t. He just told me, said…that someone would come later to take us brothers away from this mountain village.”
“Why did I bring you here?”
“When…back then, my brother and I rescued that man from the mountain, it was he who promised us brothers that we would have a life of wealth and honor, that he would take us out of Xi Liang country.”
“So before he left, …he told us to stay put and wait in the village.”
Han Yun narrowed her eyes slightly. This was something Mo Yunjing would agree to.
After a moment of silence, he asked again, “How was his condition when he left? Was he able to move freely?”
Then, remembering the man’s injuries, Da Mao shook his head. “That… that man was seriously injured. He only just woke up a few days ago. Before that, he had been in a coma for a very long time and rarely had a chance to wake up.”
“…and the wounds on his body were festering terribly. … Just a few days ago, he took out the jade pendant and pawned it to buy some medicine.”
“After taking the medicine, that man woke up for longer each day, but…but yesterday when he took my brothers and me up the mountain, his walking posture was still very strange. I reckon it’s because the wound on his abdomen hasn’t healed.”
Upon hearing this, Han Yun’s eyes darkened.
As he had guessed, Mo Yunjing’s disappearance these past few days was because he was seriously injured and had no chance to send out any signal to the outside world.
Thankfully, he knew right after waking up to have the Jade Pendant of Qingyun Pavilion pawned, luring those from Qingyun Pavilion over.
But, why did he leave the back mountain at this critical juncture if people from Qingyun Pavilion were already here?
Clearly, the men he brought this time were almost all those who had appeared around Mo Yunjing.
Even if Mò Yúnjǐng couldn’t name these underlings, seeing their familiar faces shouldn’t have meant just leaving them.
After a moment’s contemplation, Han Yun looked at the big hairy man again and asked, “Before leaving, did he give you anything?”
“Master, it’s…gone.”
Prior to this, the members of Qingyun Pavilion had already interrogated these two brothers. Now that Han Yun had asked a few more questions and found that he couldn’t glean any further information from them, Han Yun stood up at this time.
He looked at the people from Qingyun Pavilion behind him and said in a deep voice, “Take them back to that thatched hut and live there. For the next few days, you will guard here.”
The people of Qingyun Pavilion bowed, “Yes, Master.”
At this moment, Han Yun glanced at the village head and then at the back mountain where Mo Yunjing had left. Suddenly, she turned to the few subordinates behind her and said:
“You guys stay back in town and if Feng Ming and the Princess of Beijang arrive, bring them straight here.”
“Yes.”
