Chapter 354 Silence, the frustration of being powerless

The three of them returned from the border to the inn in the nearby town with silence on their faces. There was constant noise in their ears while sitting at the table. These three people were the only ones facing the table full of dishes without saying a word.

Nan Lingmu saw this scene when he rushed back. He thought that the three people had been waiting for him for a long time, so he hurriedly stepped forward.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late, Xiao Wang, I made you wait for so long."

Nan Lingmu didn't notice the atmosphere at all. He pulled out a chair and sat on it. He happily took out a stack of paper from his arms and gave one to each of them.

"Look, Xiao Wang has spent a lot of effort today to collect information about these horse bandits. It's really troublesome to collect information without revealing their identity if they are not in Nanling."

Nanlingmu had tidied himself up and was about to pick up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, but when he saw the three of them sitting there motionless, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Hey, why are you all silent? What happened? Master Feng, you usually talk the most, why are you so quiet now?"

Feng Mu Chixunsheng turned his head and glanced at Nanling Mu, let out a long sigh, and then said no more words.

Looking at Dong Lingjiu and Xia Tan'er, they both had serious expressions on their faces.

Nan Lingmu immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Isn't it just that I'm late? Xiao Wang also spent a lot of effort today. Now he is very hungry. He can't deny Xiao Wang a bite of food."

Xia Tan'er raised her eyes and looked at Nan Lingmu with a sad expression.

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, we are not targeting you, we are expressing our sorrow for those who were killed."

"The people killed? The people killed by the horse bandits?"

Nan Lingmu was extremely confused. How old were those people who were killed? Besides, they were not acquaintances. There was no need to feel sad now.

"To be precise, it was Zhang Chusheng who killed him. Feng Muchi went to keep a lookout and found that the village had been emptied. After he came back and told us, the three of us rushed over and searched carefully. There was almost blood everywhere. You can imagine how many people were killed, and that’s why we couldn’t eat.”

Nan Lingmu immediately put down his chopsticks and slapped the table with an angry look on his face.

"What is the origin of this piece of Chu Sheng? How can it be so heartless and devoid of any humanity at all!"

"It's no longer clear whether that person is Zhang Chusheng himself, and the latest kidnapping letter has not been sent. We can only sit here and wait for death."

Being unable to move and being controlled by others, this deep sense of powerlessness swept through everyone at the table. In an instant, the four people fell silent again and stared at one place in silence.

Perhaps after realizing the silence at the moment, Xia Tan'er glanced at the other three people and spoke to persuade them.

"Let's eat first. Everyone has been busy all day. Let's talk after eating."

"Eat, eat, and then talk after eating."

Feng Muchi responded and divided the bowls and chopsticks for everyone. Everyone picked up the chopsticks, picked up the vegetables and stuffed them into their mouths. The taste was the same as Jue Wa.

After the meal, the people in the inn gradually dispersed and became deserted. The lights outside were first lit, and it was very lively with people coming and going.

Several people had no intention of visiting the night market and returned to their private rooms early.

Not long after I finished washing, there was a knock on the door.

"who?"

"Master, I am a subordinate."

The voice outside sounded weak and feeble. Dong Lingjiu and Xia Tan'er looked at each other and hurriedly opened the door, and the smell of blood hit their faces.

He saw a man in black standing at the door, dripping wet, leaning on the door frame with a tired look on his face. When he looked up at Xia Tan'er, he took back his hand and was about to bow and report. The next second, his whole body fell forward and fell to the ground.
