Chapter 307 Preparing to Buy Slaves on the Black Market
"King You? How did Xiaokai identify him?" Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen both frowned and asked in unison.
Xiao Kai said seriously, "I relied on the black jade pendant hanging around his waist. Before that, when I was in the Baiguimen cave, I accidentally saw that the leader of Baiguimen was wearing a similar jade."
"However, at that time, the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect was wearing a mask, so I couldn't see his true appearance."
"Not only that, he was wearing a loose black robe, his figure was difficult to discern, and even his voice became unusually sharp and harsh."
After listening to Jiang Yimo's words, Jiang Wuhen and Feng Wuhen looked at each other, and their eyes seemed to understand each other's thoughts.
Xiao Kai described in detail the appearance of the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect that he had seen. Both his clothing and appearance were exactly the same as the mysterious leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect that they had seen several times before.
If King You is really the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect, then this matter will become extremely complicated and difficult.
They originally thought it was just an ordinary dispute in the martial arts world, but now it involves such a powerful and mysterious force, which makes them feel a surge of pressure in their hearts.
On the way back to the Evil King's Palace in the carriage, the two were silent, as if they were in deep thought, as if the whole world was left with only the sounds of rolling wheels and horse hooves.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally, Jiang Yimo sighed softly, breaking the silence.
She turned her body slightly, opened her beautiful eyes, and stared at Feng Wuhen. She said slowly and firmly, "My Lord, did you find any clues when you were tracking the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect that night?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Wuhen shook his head bitterly, frowned tightly, and replied in a low voice: "That night I did lead people to follow the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect, but he was too cunning."
"We chased him all the way, encountering a constant stream of assassins and numerous ambushes set by the Hundred Ghosts. When I finally managed to break through the encirclement and was about to catch up with him, suddenly, they escorted a woman out of the woods. That woman -"
At this point, Feng Wuhen's words came to an abrupt halt, as if something was blocking his throat, making him unable to speak. His eyes also became deep and complicated, making it impossible to glimpse his true emotions.
But Jiang Yimo still guessed what he was going to say next, "Does the person they caught look like me?"
After hearing this, Feng Wuhen looked at her in astonishment, then he nodded slightly.
Jiang Yimo looked at him with a knowing expression and asked, "Was the wound on your abdomen also caused by that woman stabbing you with a dagger?"
After saying that, Feng Wuhen nodded slightly again.
Then, Feng Wuhen told her what happened that night after he chased the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect and left Shilipo.
"That night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong. I couldn't see my hand in front of me, but I relied on my keen sense of the enemy and led my men to chase them all the way until dawn."
"We killed countless assassins along the way. The blood dyed the ground red. The strong smell of blood filled the air and made people sick."
Finally, we successfully trapped the abominable leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect in a narrow bamboo forest. Seeing victory in sight, I couldn't help but feel a surge of heroic emotion in my heart. "
"However, at this moment, something strange happened! Several assassins from the Hundred Ghosts Sect appeared out of nowhere, escorting a woman who looked very similar to you and appeared in front of me."
"She had a piece of black gauze on her head, covering her face, and her voice was exactly the same as yours! I mistook her for you..."
Feng Wuhen paused when he said this. When Jiang Yimo heard this, her mood became a little complicated.
Feng Wuhen suddenly reached out and gently pinched her chin, asking her to look at him. Then, he smiled at her innocently and continued speaking.
"They obviously figured out my weakness and used this woman to pretend to be you to threaten me. I thought you were captured by them and was very worried. Faced with such a situation, I released the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect without a second thought to ensure your safety. After all, in my heart, nothing is more important than you."
"When I saw the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect walking away, I felt a little unwilling, but I was more worried about you. After those people left, I hurriedly walked towards the woman and wanted to help her untie the rope."
"However, when I approached her, she suddenly broke free, pulled out a sharp dagger from her sleeve, and stabbed it into my abdomen without hesitation!"
"At that moment, I felt a sharp pain. I opened my eyes wide, staring at the scene in disbelief. The woman took off her slit and revealed a strange face. She was not you at all..."
"Oh..." Jiang Yimo couldn't help but let out a long sigh after hearing his words. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She felt indescribably touched, but she also felt that Feng Wuhen was so stupid and ridiculous. How could someone who was so smart be easily deceived?
However, Feng Wuhen's being deceived this time also deeply touched the softest part of Jiang Yimo's heart.
The two chatted all the way, and before they knew it, the carriage had arrived smoothly at the gate of the Evil King's Mansion.
When they stepped into the mansion, the night was already as dark as ink.
The two exhausted people quickly washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.
However, even though her body was extremely sleepy, Jiang Yimo's thoughts were like a ignited flame that could not be calmed down.
She lay quietly on the bed, every word Feng Wuhen said in the carriage echoing in her mind.
Those words lingered like echoes in her ears, causing her to fall into deep thought.
She didn't expect that Feng Wuhen had fallen so deeply in love with her, otherwise he wouldn't have been deceived so easily.
Thinking of this, a hint of sweetness unconsciously arose in her heart, and a slight curve appeared at the corners of her lips.
Then, she was so excited all night that she fell into a drowsy sleep for an hour or two until almost dawn.
The next morning, the wind was cold and the temperature dropped sharply. Jiang Yimo finished washing up in the space and stepped out wearing only a thin green dress. She couldn't help but feel a little chill.
She frowned slightly, then put on a white fur cloak, and after explaining something to Qingzhu and Qingnuan, she walked out.
This morning, Feng Wuhen originally wanted to accompany her to the black market to buy slaves, but he suddenly had an urgent matter and was unable to go.
However, he thoughtfully arranged for Leng Mei to accompany her to the black market.
