Just when Duan Wenjun was thinking about when he had heard the name Jiang Chaonan, Eunuch Li's words rang out again.
In Tiandang Mountain, under the command of Peng Dabeard, the position of the Great Protector of the Twelve Protectors has always been vacant.
Although Peng Bearded has never appointed Feng Zhongyu, in people's hearts, this position has already been accepted by Feng Zhongyu.
Feng Zhongyu is one of the four elders of the Shadow Sect.
Over the years, Feng Zhongyu has handled many major cases.
Although many cases do not seem to have much to do with Peng Dabeard, many times, always inadvertently, Peng Dabeard always becomes the biggest beneficiary.
Therefore, everyone in the world thinks that Feng Zhongyu is actually Peng's bearded man.
Moreover, he is the Great Protector under Peng Dabeard, and the most capable general under Peng Dabeard.
This is almost an open secret in the world.
However, Peng Bearded would never admit that Feng Zhongyu was his in public.
Just as Peng Dashu never acknowledged Feng Zhongyu's identity, Feng Zhongyu never admitted that he was Peng Dashu's protector.
Although this seems to be a bit ridiculous, they seem to have been indulged in this trick of self-deception.
Moreover, although Feng Zhongyu worked for Peng Dashu, he never went to Peng Dashu's lair in Tiandang Mountain.
In fact, Peng Dashu didn't know Feng Zhongyu's whereabouts at all, let alone his plan.
When he said this, Zhongli was suddenly shocked.
They have been following Feng Zhongyu for so many years, and it seems that they have never followed Feng Zhongyu up Tiandang Mountain.
Before, he was very strange.
Thinking it was the wind and rain, they were unwilling to take them up the mountain.
But after listening to Eunuch Li's words, he couldn't help but think that it seemed that people from Tiandang Mountain came to look for Feng Zhongyu every time, and he had never heard Feng Zhongyu say that he was going to Tiandang Mountain...
Years of doubts seemed to be solved all at once.
At this moment, Eunuch Li's words rang out again.
"Of course, there is a reason why he doesn't go to Tiandang Mountain in the wind and rain. This may be the agreement between him and Peng Dabeard, and Peng Dabeard is not willing to let him go."
"After all, the Shadow Sect exists in Jianghu, but it is like a rat crossing the street that everyone screams for. Peng Bearded is not willing to be criticized because of the wind and rain."
"At least on the surface, even if it's self-deception, he needs to draw certain boundaries with Feng Zhongyu."
"Peng Dabeard is a well-rounded person. He not only has relationships with many officials in Dashun, but also colludes with Mo Kingdom and Yan Kingdom. In fact, many people in the world want to take his life, but it is not easy. "
"It is said that Ba Yuntian, the head of the Ba Dao Sect, once went to Tiandang Mountain, but returned without success. Since then, Peng Dabeard has become more cautious, and Feng Zhongyu has also become more cautious."
At this moment, Chai Jingyun on the side also spoke up, "Eunuch Li, I heard that these people from the Shadow Sect have basically disappeared, but in this storm..."
"They rarely move in the south, so you don't hear much news." Eunuch Li nodded, "But the Shadow Gate's lair is near the desert, and it's not a secret there."
"Since everyone knows that the Shadow Sect's lair is in the desert, why doesn't anyone go to eliminate him?" Chai Jingyun still seemed puzzled.
Duan Wenjun couldn't help but reveal a wry smile when he heard this.
Sometimes, he felt that Chai Jingyun's mind was quite bright; but sometimes, it seemed that a little bit was missing...
Eunuch Li just said that Ba Yuntian, the head of the Ba Dao Sect, went to Tiandang Mountain to find Peng Dabeard but returned without success, which proved that these people were hiding very deep.
Since the people of the Shadow Sect are operating near the desert, how could they not have some means to prevent people from finding them?
"It's easier said than done?" Sure enough, Eunuch Li showed a wry smile. "The people from the Shadow Sect are everywhere, how easy is it to eliminate them? So basically, as long as they don't enter Dashun to cause trouble and stay in the desert obediently, the emperor will turn a blind eye. One eye. After all, these things are so annoying."
Chai Jingyun also fell silent immediately after hearing this.
"Are you sure that what happened back then was the fault of the Shadow Sect?" Zhongli gritted his teeth and stared at Eunuch Li before speaking.
"After the bloodbath in Zhongjia Village, Feng Zhongyu immediately appeared in Zhongjia Village. I believe this is definitely not an accident. Moreover, Zhongjia Village happens to be the area where Peng Dabeard and his gang of gangs were active in the early years."
"I have always believed that there will never be so many random coincidences in this world." When he said this, Eunuch Li sighed. "If there are really so many coincidences, I think it is most likely a man-made coincidence." .”
Seeing the horrified expressions on Zhongli and Zhongxiu's faces, Eunuch Li seemed to be heartbroken and said, "Think about it for yourselves, what you have done over the years is not to acknowledge thieves as fathers and to act as accomplices to tigers, so what is it?"
"Why should I believe your words?" Although Zhongli was deeply shocked, he always acted very complacent.
However, the look of deep doubt on his face completely gave him away.
After a long time, he stared at Eunuch Li again and said, "You said you are Zhong Fan's friend. What proof do you have? Do you know where he is?"
Hearing this, Eunuch Li suddenly laughed.
"It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. What I told you is the truth. I just told you the truth back then. There is no need to force you to believe it." Eunuch Li rolled his eyes at him. "But do you think that if I lied to you? What’s the benefit?”
"As for where Zhong Fan went, I don't know." Eunuch Li shook his head again. "When I heard about the Zhongjiacun massacre, I went there once. But I have verified it with the officers and soldiers in charge of the case, as well as the gangsters. It seems that Zhong Fan’s body was not found, so he must have escaped death!”
"Later, our family heard that the Shadow Sect didn't seem to have found the person who discovered their secret. I once thought, could that person be Zhong Fan?"
"But if it is really him, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Shadow Sect, it is completely normal for him to hide somewhere anonymously and never show his face again."
When Zhongli heard this, he immediately fell silent.
He turned to look at Zhong Xiu, who was doing the narrator, but what he saw was also a confused look on his face.
In fact, they have also conducted investigations over the years and learned a few clues by catching the wind and shadows.
In many places, it seems vaguely close to what Eunuch Li said.
But, not sure.
His heart began to waver and he became confused.
He suddenly realized that he didn't know who to trust.
