Chapter 279 (1/2)

“In the past few days, I have been searching everywhere in the castle and everywhere that is outside the castle of Raging Fire’s control. However, nothing has been found,” Xu Qingshu reported.

“I don’t blame you, we have already found 7 of them. It is already a great achievement, so we are not that worried about the rest of the candidates…” Ji Qing was facing the other side while talking to Xu Qingshu. She was still shaking her red wine gla.s.s and suddenly changed the topic, “Oh right, do you know a person called Yuan Hongxue?”

“Are you talking about the current castellan of the castle of Raging Fire?” Xu Qingshu asked. She was also confused about how Lei Ming suddenly died overnight.

“I mean the old man who was working in the barrack a few days ago. Please sit my little Qing Qing, don’t just stand there,” When she turned around there were two gla.s.ses of wins in her hands.

“Yes. There was an old man called Yuan Hongxue working in the barrack a few days ago,” Xu Qingshu knew that this woman knew everything that happened inside the castle, so she didn’t lie. Besides, she was not familiar with the old man, so she just told her what she knew.

“The old man was recommended by the people who work at the entrance. The old man also brought a kid with him, originally we thought that the old man just wanted a job. But…” Xu Qingshu explained everything that happened during the night of the attack.

Ji Qing was tasting the wine while smiling at Xu Qingshu, “I have asked the sketch artist to draw the sketch of the old man, and asked our spies who came back from the castle of Raging Fire to see the sketch. They said that they are the same person,” She said it after Xu Qingshu finished reporting.

“Castellan, I didn’t…” Xu Qingshu quickly stood up and said. She finally knew that this was the real reason why Ji Qing wanted to talk to her.

“Sit… sit, I knew you would have this kind of reaction, why would I suspect my little Qing Qing?” Ji Qing giggled, she then grabbed Xu Qingshu’s hand and said in a quiet voice, “it was the ice messenger who asked this question, I have no choice, but we have already investigated it.

The little boy met the old man on the way here, so we don’t really know where did the old man come from, and why he wanted to stay in the barrack. Anyway, all we can think of is that it might have something to do with the attack.”

“Thank you for your trust, castellan!” Xu Qingshu couldn’t tell if the woman in front of her was lying or not. So she just simply thanked her.

“We are family, don’t be like this… Oh also, I’ll introduce you to a guy later, did you see the handsome man who just left earlier, his name is Ning Huiyan. Do you like him…” Ji Qing chuckled.

…..

One day later, outside the castle of Snowstorm.

“Did you hear the news?” a crippled woman approached a one-armed man and whispered.

“What news? I mean, can you not quiet down and save your energy. Don’t get yourself starved to death!” San Fazi wasn’t happy about the woman who approached him, because the woman stank.

The crippled woman looked around and got even closer, “San Fazi, did you not know that the castle of Raging Fire has a new castellan!”

“Sigh, I mean, Mei Gui, new or old, it has nothing to do with us. go away and stop annoying me,” San Fazi was annoyed.

In fact, he wasn’t in a good mood recently. It was all because of uncle Cai. Since uncle Cai was sent into the castle, his deal with grandpa Yuan was also gone, and all the food was gone.

The crippled woman clicked her tongue and shook her head, “San Fazi, sister I am really disappointed in you.”

San Fazi didn’t even open his eyes. He just laid there like a dead person. To him, the more he moved, the sooner he would feel hungry.

But the crippled woman didn’t seem to give up. She whispered into San Fazi’s ear, “listen carefully San Fazi. The name of the new castellan is Yuan Hongxue, grandpa Yuan…”

“Go, go, go, go away… What castellan, what name, what Yuan… the f.u.c.k?!…” San Fazi was whining until he suddenly opened his eyes in shock. He quickly grabbed the crippled woman and asked, “grandpa Yuan? The old man that came to us with a kid?”

The crippled woman saw that San Fazi was finally interested in the news, she suddenly stopped talking and rolled her eyes, pretending that she didn’t want to carry on.

“I mean Mei Gui, grandma Mei Gui, my ancestor… please tell me…” San Fazi urged.

“I’m hungry, can’t talk now,” The woman said.

“Okay, okay, okay… here is all my food, just this much, now, please carry on!” San Fazi gritted his teeth and took out a small piece of food from inside his clothes and then pa.s.sed it to the woman.

“That’s better!” The woman took over the food then nibbled the food slowly and said, “okay, let me tell you, you hit the jackpot, San Fazi, I have heard that the new castellan is grandpa Yuan, I have even seen the sketch, so it can’t be wrong. I think you’d better go to the castle of Raging Fire now, the old man needs people, and since you know him, he definitely will put you in an important role.”

Just when San Fazi was about to ask something else, Boss Kui arrived with a group of men hurriedly, “San Fazi, let’s go, the castle of Raging Fire offerers doubled the price for the same rocks, let’s go, quick! We don’t want to be late…”

…….

Two days later, in a small shack in the castle of Snowstorm.

“The reason why I called this secret meeting today is that I want to hear everyone’s opinion. Should we leave or should we stay,” said a woman who sat in the middle.
