Chapter 555 Jinglan Finds Out About Xiao Zhenrong (1)

However, in the following days, Xiaoying would go to Huangwu Baoguan's house from time to time, and the two even made an appointment to play in Jinyang City. This made Chu Xiaomu feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't say anything.

In addition, he had just taken up the post of Jin Wei, and he had a lot of official duties arranged by Jin Lier, secret purchases of food and fodder with Xuanying, visits from people at all levels and invitations to banquets, so he didn't have much time to care about Xiaoying's affairs.

Sometimes I think that Xiaoying is a playful person, and Huangwu Baoguan can help me take care of her for a while. I can just focus on solving the problem of food and grass for Bicheng with Jinglan and Xuanying. I must not have any other ideas.

During this period of time, Jinglan was busy with the purchase and transportation of food and fodder, and also went out alone from time to time.

Chu Xiaomu asked her where she had been, but Jinglan did not answer. She just said lightly that it was nothing and did not say anything more.

However, he could also roughly guess that Jinglan must have guessed that Xiao Zhenrong had fled to Jinyang City, so she was inquiring about him in the city.

Although Chu Xiaomu had not talked to her in detail about the death of her father Zhou Bo, judging from her expression, Jinglan probably also suspected that her father's death had something to do with Xiao Zhenrong.

Chu Xiaomu was lying on the bed at this time, thinking of these bad things, and couldn't help but sigh.

With a creaky sound, the door of the guest house was pushed open, a man walked in, and then closed the door carefully.

Although Chu Xiaomu had very sharp ears, he still had to concentrate to detect any unusual movements around him. He was thinking about something just now, so he didn't hear anyone coming.

However, the footsteps were very familiar, and Chu Xiaomu naturally recognized them.

When I stood up, I saw that the person who entered the room was Jinglan.

Jinglan sat down on a chair opposite the bed and said, "Brother Xiaomu, Xiao Zhenrong is indeed in Jinyang City." She spoke very calmly, as if she was talking about someone who had nothing to do with her.

Chu Xiaomu was shocked and asked, "He is in Jinyang City? How did you know?"

"I happened to run into a man who used to work for Xiao Zhenrong."

"who is it?"

"Yuan Fu."

When Jinglan just said this name, Chu Xiaomu couldn't remember who this person was. Jinglan reminded him, "Brother Xiaomu, have you forgotten that he was the guard you met when you first went to my father's central military camp. That time I was hit by the charcoal evil..."

Chu Xiaomu immediately remembered that he was ordered by Xiao Zhenrong to work in Zhou Bo's central army tent. Yuan Fu, the guard at the door of the tent, did not allow him and Yingdan to enter, and almost killed Jinglan with the charcoal evil. He said, "It turned out to be him. How did he come to Jinyang City?"

Jinglan said, "Except for Yuan Fu, all of my father's guards died in the battle at the Nanding Army camp, and now he suddenly appears in Jinyang City. I guess he is most likely in cahoots with Xiao Zhenrong."

Chu Xiaomu nodded and said, "If not for this, he wouldn't have to come to Jinyang City." Huo Di stood up and said, "Let's go find him and ask him clearly!"

Jinglan stood up and said, "I have brought the person here."

"where?"

"In a woodshed down below."

The two men came to the downstairs of the guest house, walked around several corridors, and came to a remote woodshed.

This firewood room is not big, and there are a lot of hay and firewood piled up in it. There are several firewood rooms in Phnom Penh Guest House for storing firewood, and this room is relatively remote, so few people come here usually.

Chu Xiaomu heard some slight noises under the two bundles of firewood, so he reached out and moved them away. A man in blue-gray cloth appeared underneath. He was Yuan Fu, one of Zhou Bo's former guards.

Chu Xiaomu saw that his hands and feet were tied tightly. He stared at the two strangers in front of him with terrified eyes. A large piece of cloth was stuffed in his mouth. He was whimpering and unable to speak.

Jinglan pushed Chu Xiaomu, then pointed at Yuan Fu, indicating that he should ask the questions.

Chu Xiaomu understood, stretched out two fingers and pressed against Yuan Fu's chest, injecting a stream of energy into his body. This energy moved around in his body like a soft blade, causing unimaginable pain. Yuan Fu's hands and feet were tied tightly, and a cloth strip was stuffed in his mouth, so he could neither move nor shout. He twisted his body in pain, and big beads of sweat appeared on his face.

Chu Xiaomu said, "I have a few questions to ask you. You must answer honestly. If I am not satisfied, I have many ways to make you live a life worse than death. Do you understand?"

Yuan Fu nodded hurriedly.

He added: "Although this room is remote, it is not completely deserted. If you shout for help loudly, it may attract other people's attention. But we must kill you before we leave!"

Yuan Fu hurriedly shook his head, meaning that he would never shout for help.

As Chu Xiaomu's energy was exhausted, Yuan Fu fell to the ground sideways, breathing rapidly through his nose, as if a blacksmith was using his nose to pull the furnace box for smelting iron. The energy just now drilled in and out of his body, almost taking half of his life.

Chu Xiaomu pulled the piece of cloth out of his mouth and asked, "Let me ask you first, what is your name?"

Yuan Fu panted for a long time and said, "My name is Yuan Gang..."

Seeing that he was not honest in his first sentence, Chu Xiaomu immediately became angry and thrust another stream of energy into his body. Yuan Fu screamed in pain, and Chu Xiaomu blocked his mouth with a piece of cloth and said angrily: "You are so dishonest, it seems that you will suffer more!"

Yuan Fu was terrified and shook his head like a rattle.

Jinglan said, "Don't be in a hurry to torture him, just ask a few questions first."

Chu Xiaomu had no choice but to take out the cloth that was stuffed in Yuan Fu's mouth again. Yuan Fu hurriedly said, "I...I really didn't lie. My name is Yuan Gang..."

Chu Xiaomu snorted and said, "Your name is Yuan Gang, then who is Yuan Fu?"

Yuan Fu stared at the two strangers in front of him and said, "Yuan Fu is the pseudonym I use in Bicheng. My real name is Yuan Gang. How did you two know?"

Chu Xiaomu and Jinglan looked at each other and thought that this person actually used a fake name in the Bicheng Army. It seemed that he was undoubtedly a traitor or a spy.

Jinglan said, "Don't worry about how we know this. Let me ask you, are you from the Golden Sword Sect?"

Yuan Gang said, "I haven't entered the Golden Sword Gate yet, but... but I want to enter even in my dreams." He was afraid that Chu Xiaomu would use his supernatural powers again, so he quickly added, "Every word I said is true. If it's false, God will strike you with lightning!"

Chu and Zhou both thought that Yuan Gang must have been arranged by Xiao Zhenrong to join the Nanding Army. The monthly salary of the soldiers in Bicheng was pitifully low, and their lives were very hard. The people of the Golden Sword Sect were famous for their high monthly salary in Cangmu Country, and there were many benefits to be made. This guy wanted to join them even in his dreams, so he must be a person who loves leisure and hates work.
