Chapter 415 Searching for the Warehouse

Xiao Si's eyes were brimming with tears.

Although he had never met the girl, it was clear that she was a very kind person.

In his simple belief, good people should be rewarded.

However, reality is often not so satisfactory.

He sighed, but the next moment the people around him rushed down.

Before the man could react, Zheng Xun grabbed him by the neck and slammed him against the wall.

He's being pinched the same way he just pinched someone.

The man did struggle, but he couldn't break free from Zheng Xun's iron grip.

Beside her, the woman who had escaped unharmed was panting heavily, coughing violently.

Zheng Xun smiled, her eyes crinkling, as she looked at the man's futile struggle: "Oh dear, how pitiful."

Zheng Xun only let go of the man when his face turned blue and his eyes started rolling back.

As his lost strength gradually returned, a fierce glint flashed in the man's eyes.

Xiao Si, who had just climbed down from the roof, saw him rushing towards Zheng Xun and shouted in terror, "Watch out!"

Zheng Xun used one hand to help the woman, who was still in shock, up, and with the other hand, he grabbed the man again and flung him aside.

The girl she was supporting stared blankly at the scene.

Zheng Xun asked softly, "Are you feeling any better?"

The girl shook her head and said in a low voice, "Be careful, he's highly skilled in martial arts..."

“Silly girl, it’s obvious he can’t beat me,” Zheng Xun helped her sit down and poured her a glass of water. “Stay here.”

The girl nodded obediently: "Okay."

Zheng Xun walked up to the man.

Xiao Si said nervously, "We still need to ask questions! Please go easy on me for now!"

Look how frightened the child is, he's even using honorifics now.

"Don't worry," Zheng Xun said with a smile as she squatted down in front of the man, "Xiong Yuliang."

Xiong Yuliang looked up and saw Zheng Xun's seemingly unguarded movements, then suddenly sprang into action.

Zheng Xun grabbed his neck again and pressed him back down: "Why are you always so agitated? How many times will it take you to understand that in my hands, you are no more powerful than an ant?"

Xiong Yuliang asked with difficulty, "Who exactly are you? What do you want?"

“Good boy, tell me where your gunpowder warehouse is.”

Xiong Yuliang paused, then asked suspiciously, "Are you from Dayong?"

Zheng Xun grabbed his hair and slammed his head hard onto the ground: "Stop talking nonsense."

She doesn't have much time.

Xiong Yuliang grinned and said, "I won't tell you, so just give up on that idea."

"Usually, people who are stubborn are just those who haven't suffered enough."

"Use whatever means you have."

The woman sitting nearby stood up anxiously: "He's stalling for time! Ding Cheng won't be able to see him, he'll definitely send someone to look for him."

The anger that Xiong Yuliang had been unable to vent on Zheng Xun instantly found an outlet. He glared at the woman and cursed, "Bai Liu! You whore..."

Zheng Xun frowned and punched out three of his teeth: "Your mouth is so dirty. If we had more time, we would have had Xiao Si poop a big dump in your mouth to clean it up for you."

Xiao Si: Huh? Me?

Bai Liu loosened her clenched fist due to embarrassment and burst out laughing.

"Young hero, Xiong Yuliang is stubborn; he won't tell."

He's an incredibly stubborn person; even if you break his bones, he won't bow his head.

The more he cursed and insulted, the tighter his mouth became.

That's why Ding Cheng entrusted the warehouse to him.

"That's it..."

Zheng Xun shrugged indifferently, his mental energy weaving a net that seeped into Xiong Yuliang's mind.

Xiong Yuliang's burning gaze suddenly became unfocused.

"Take me to the storeroom where the heavenly lightning is kept."

Xiong Yuliang nodded mechanically.

"Take care of yourself and don't let anyone notice anything unusual."

After a moment of understanding, Xiong Yuliang obediently got up to fetch water to wash his face.

Xiao Si's eyes widened in surprise and astonishment: "What is he...?"

“A little trick,” Zheng Xun looked at Bai Liu, “can you cover up the marks on his face?”

Bai Liu straightened her back: "Yes!"

That must be possible, even if it's not possible!

Xiong Yuliang had already sat down in front of the dressing table.

Looking at Xiong Yuliang, who was unusually well-behaved, Bai Liu felt a surge of mischief welling up inside her, but she didn't dare to delay the important matter and quickly covered the bruises on Xiong Yuliang's face.

After doing all that, she looked at Zheng Xun expectantly.

Zheng Xun nodded in satisfaction: "Well done."

Bai Liu immediately burst into laughter, her teeth practically disappearing from her eyes.

"Let's go."

Xiong Yuliang stood up and walked outside.

Zheng Xun looked at Bai Liu: "Do you want to leave?"

"miss you!"

Before she even had time to think, Bai Liu blurted out the word.

But her gaze quickly dimmed.

But how could she escape? And where could she possibly run to?

"Stay here and see if anyone comes. Do you know how to handle that?"

"Yes! I can do it!"

It is both impossible and necessary.

"Take care of yourself, I'll come pick you up in a bit," Zheng Xun said, then looked at Xiao Si, "Let's go."

Xiao Si snapped out of her daze, concealing the shock on her face: "They're here!"

Stepping outside, Xiao Si glanced at Zheng Xun's night clothes and asked, "You're dressed like this?"

"They won't notice me."

Sure enough, none of the soldiers from the Brown Kingdom they encountered along the way resembled Zheng Xun, which raised suspicions.

Xiao Si was also puzzled: "Why didn't they find your clothes strange?"

Zheng Xun casually said, "That's of course thanks to Xiong Yuliang."

Xiao Si thought about it carefully and then convinced himself.

“That’s true. He’s usually unpredictable. You were following behind him and he didn’t say anything. How could anyone else dare to say a word?”

Zheng Xun: I really have to thank Xiong Yuliang this time, it saved her a lot of trouble explaining.

They followed Xiong Yuliang for a long, winding journey. At one point, he regained consciousness, which terrified Xiao Si.

Zheng unsurprisingly unleashed his mental power once again.

She didn't attack Xiong Yuliang, but rather confused him.

He has a strong will, so it's normal that he was able to break free.

Breaking free was useless; she had plenty of mental energy and could easily do it again.

Finally, the three arrived at a precipice.

Without stopping, Xiong Yuliang jumped off the cliff.

Xiao Si was dumbfounded: "He...he...he committed suicide?"

Zheng Xun grabbed his arm and jumped down with him.

Xiao Si closed her eyes and let out a short scream.

However, he was still reliable and, fearing that it would attract the attention of others, he swallowed his shout.

As Zheng Xun had predicted, there was indeed a platform below.

She put Xiao Si on the ground.

Feeling grounded, Xiao Si finally had the courage to open her eyes.

"There's a cave here?"

Zheng Xun looked at the design outside the cave.

The waterproofing and drainage were done very well. Inside the cave, there were three stone doors.

After the stone gate opens, there is a long, winding, gentle slope leading upwards.

There were obvious tire tracks on the gentle slope. Zheng Xun touched the stone wall; it was very dry.

"That's right, it's here."

After climbing a long, gentle slope, Zheng Xun finally saw what he was looking for.
