Chapter 605: Divergence

hi'an asked, "How much do you want"Since he promised Fang Jinshu to support her in establishing a Chamber of Commerce, he naturally wouldn't ignore it.Moreover, the establishment of the chamber of com...Zong Yu's face was tense. He jumped down and pulled Fang Jinxiu toward the cave they had just come from.

"Hurry, retreat back to the cave!"

Zong Bai and Yu Lian were both dumbfounded, but they still followed their elder brother and sister-in-law to run back.

Not until they ran back to the cave did everyone catch their breath and finally calm down. Fang Jinshi was the first to speak.

"What did you see Aren't there any beasts out in this heavy snow"

Zongyu stood at the mouth of the cave, carefully watching the outside while his expression was extremely complex.

I saw a person.

All three were taken aback.

“Who”

"Could there be other hunters up on the mountain"

After all, the mountains are so vast, and there must be more than one village connected to them. It's perfectly normal for other hunters to appear.

"No, even if we saw hunters from another village, there's no need for us to run back and hide."

"Big brother, didn't you say that the snow will keep falling for another two days and we won't be able to leave then"

Zong Yu remained silent, which only amplified Fang Jinxiu's growing sense of unease.

She tentatively asked, "Ayu, what did those people look like What were they wearing Did they have any weapons"

Zong Yu's reputation preceded him, "Armed to the teeth, a bow slung across his back, a dagger clutched in his hand."

“The clothing, anyway, wasn't the attire of ordinary people.”

Fāng Jǐnxiù let out a wry smile, their luck, how could they describe it.

"I remember reading that the people of Wumeng liked to wear braids, even soldiers."

Zongyu's younger brother nodded.

"Indeed, they all kept their braids."

Zong Bai's face also fell.

"No way, I'm such a jinx."

Only Yulian was still in a daze, not understanding a word.

"No, what are you all talking about"

"Could it be that Big Brother saw those people from the Wu Meng country"

Jade Lotus thought it was absurd, “This is impossible.”

"Didn't you say before that this mountain range was extremely difficult to cross Why would the people from Umeng Kingdom, with nothing better to do after eating their fill, risk so much to come here"

As soon as Yu Lian finished speaking, Fang Jinxiu and the others immediately turned their gazes to her.

"Yu Lian is right."

"If those people were truly from Wumeng Kingdom, how could they be here"

Zong Bai blinked rapidly, his eyes turning as he pondered for a moment.

"I remember Mr. Qin mentioning in class that the Kingdom of Wumen has been increasingly restless in recent years, using the guise of promoting interaction between our two nations to frequently cause friction with my Great Xi's stationed troops and merchant caravans on the border."

"When I heard Mr. Qin finish speaking, I felt that this was a test by the Wumeng nation to our Daxi, and it seemed more like a long-planned signal."

After I expressed my feelings, Mr. Qin just smiled and didn't tell me if what I said was right or wrong.

Fang Jinshi is not from this world and hasn't paid much attention to national affairs.

Although she understood nothing, she believed what her eyes saw and trusted her intuition.

"No matter if they are from Wumeng Kingdom or not, we should still be cautious."

"Let's go down the mountain when they are gone."

After we go back, we should immediately report this matter to County Magistrate Pan. As for the rest, it's none of our concern anymore.

Jade Lotus quickly nodded, fully agreeing with Fang Jinxiu's words.

Zongyu and Zongbei, the two brothers, however, looked thoughtful.

"Ayu, what do you think"

Zongyu always had a wild animal's intuition, and over the years he survived in the mountains thanks to it.

Dodged countless crises.

He didn't understand the national situation; he only trusted his sharp intuition.

Those people are definitely not good guys. If we just leave them be, and they find our village, there will surely be unimaginable disaster.

For example, village slaughter.

They are so careful and cautious that anyone who sees them will surely not live to tell the tale.

Fang Jinxiu waited for a while, but Zong Yu didn't say anything. Just as she was about to turn her head and ask Zong Bai some more information about the Kingdom of Wumeng,

But then Zongyu spoke up, “We can’t just leave these people alone.”

Fang Jinshi was taken aback. She vaguely sensed what Zong Yu wanted to do and tried to dissuade him.

"If they truly are soldiers from the Wu Meng kingdom, what can we possibly do"

"I know you can defeat these men, kill them. The army of Wumeng Nation will definitely not let it go. They will certainly investigate the reason for their disappearance."

"If even one fish slips through the net and goes back, no matter the outcome, we're all in deep trouble."

"The best way to handle this now is just to wait for them to leave. We don't need to expose our position at all."

"Our village is hidden in the mountains, in a rather secluded location. They may not find us."

Zong Bai and Yu Lian nodded simultaneously, "We agree with our sister-in-law. Big brother, dealing with spies infiltrated from enemy countries is the duty of the imperial court."

"At worst, after we descend the mountain, we'll go to Luoshui County immediately and inform Master Pan. He's an official of the court; he'll know what to do."u's delivery, her situation was extremely dangerous. If she hadn't been a doctor herself and prepared so many life-saving herbs in advance, it would have been hard to say whether she and the baby woul...
