Chapter Eleven Threats

  Whoosh...... The branches above seemed to be shaken by something, Su Tang hastily lifted his head, a black shadow fell from the sky and landed right in front of Su Tang. It was a bald old man wearing a pale blue long shirt, smiling and sizing up Su Tang: "Little kid, what are you doing?"

  Su Tang suddenly felt his scalp was about to explode, although the old man's smile was very gentle, but in his senses, the other party was like a fierce beast.

  "I...". Su Tang's body didn't dare move, his brain rapidly turning: "I'm cultivating the martial arts..."

  "What? What martial art is it? Which rank? Who taught you?" The old man's smile became even more gentle.

  "I don't know... I really don't know... it was my uncle at home who taught me." Luo Cheng replied with difficulty, and at this time, he heard footsteps coming from all around, followed by one after another shadow appearing.

  "Haha, what a coincidence! So it's Young Master Su, haha...". Along with Zhang Kuang's laughter, Liu Ming Sheng's voice appeared not far away, parting branches and walking over with a swagger.

  "Keep your voice down, we're close to Xiao Lin's fortress." The bald old man said displeased.

  Liu Ming Sheng's loud laughter stopped abruptly, and he leaned in close to the bald old man, saying in a low voice: "Fei Lao, you don't know this, but this little guy is actually the young master of Xiao Lin Fort, Su Tang Su!"

  "Oh?" The bald old man's smile gradually disappeared, his face turned solemn, and he suddenly said in a low voice: "Little doll, didn't some people move into your Xiao Linbao yesterday?"

  Su Tang immediately reacted, these people were rushing to the guests of Xiaolinbao, could this be what they called "gods fighting and mortals suffering"... should he speak or not...

  Seeing Su Tang's silence, a sullen-looking man lost his patience, stretched out his hand to grab Su Tang's collar and lifted him up: "Old Fei is asking you questions, are you deaf?!"

  Su Tang's face showed a look of horror, struggling with all his might, but his true heart was as calm as an ancient glacier, one thought after another flashing through his mind.

  From a utilitarian perspective, I should just tell them the truth, after all, it has nothing to do with me. However, this level of conflict will also determine the safety of the entire Linlin Fort. If they win, will they let me go? What if the guests at Linlin Fort win?

  What changed was not just Su Tang's body, but also his mind. His thoughts became extremely agile, and ideas came one after another.

  That man saw Su Tang and didn't open his mouth, pinning Su Tang against the tree trunk. He casually pulled out the long sword from his waist and stabbed it straight at Su Tang's neck.

  Two spirits in the brain domain of Su Tang suddenly emitted dazzling light, this is human instinct, at the moment of life and death, all forces will be released wildly. However, the spirit quickly dimmed down because Su Tang had made a judgment in an instant that the opponent's long sword would not hurt himself.

  With a thud, the long sword grazed against Su Tang's neck and stabbed deep into the tree trunk.

  "Shut up, kid! If you don't speak up now, I'll kill you..." The man said viciously.

  Su Tang was always dull, when the man opened his mouth to threaten him, he glanced down with the corner of his eye, only then did he 'discover' that there was a long sword on his neck. Su Tang suddenly let out a mournful cry: "Don't kill me... don't kill me... don't..."

  The man hadn't finished speaking when Su Tang suddenly made a drastic reaction, startling him. Moreover, Su Tang's neck was twisted and grazed against the sword blade, opening up a gash, and fresh blood flowed out.

  That man was busy holding down Su Tang, and he drew his long sword. He had finally found someone from Xiaolin Fort, and it could be said that he had found a breakthrough. If anything happened to Su Tang, Fei Lao would absolutely not forgive him.

  "Scram, you hairy-handed and hairy-footed thing!" the bald old man shouted.

  That man retreated to the side with a sullen face, while Su Tang's body was attached to the tree trunk, curled up into a ball: "Don't kill me..." He was still wailing, his pupils dilated, his heart rate accelerated, his body trembling like chaff, his face pale, and his lips blue. All of his physical signs perfectly matched those of a person in fear.

  "Don't be afraid, little girl. I won't hurt you." The bald old man said in a soft voice, and after finishing speaking, he seemed to worry that Su Tang wouldn't trust him, so he slapped the gloomy-looking man on the ear.

  Su Tang stopped shouting, but his eyes were still filled with terror and his body continued to tremble.

  "Little doll, I'm asking you, didn't a group of people enter Xiaolinbao yesterday?" The bald old man walked up to Su Tang.

  "Yes! Yes, yes, yes......" Su Tang nodded hastily.

  "What did you see?"

  "They have eight... eighty-nine people, and a car... and... and also a very big tiger..." Su Tang stuttered in response.

  "Do they live in Xiaolinbao?" A cold glint appeared in the eyes of the bald old man.

  "Mmm..."

  "How many days did you say you'd stay?"

  "Tomorrow... I'm leaving the day after tomorrow..."

  "They are your guests, have you treated them well?"

  "They... they didn't come... maybe... maybe they thought our food was... not... not good..."

  "Oh... so they have to drink water too?"

  "Dongyuan... Dongyuan has a well..."

  The bald old man chuckled: "Little baby, help me with something and I'll reward you!" After finishing speaking, the old man beckoned to a man who handed over a money bag. He took out a handful of silver coins and grabbed Su Tang's hand, placing the coins in his palm.

  "As long as you agree, all of this is yours." The bald old man patted the bulging money bag and said to Su Tang.

  Damn it, so petty! Su Tang cursed in his heart. Others only stayed for two days and were given gold coins. Although the money bag had shrunk a lot, the exchange rate between gold and silver coins was 1:10. In comparison, he really didn't put these silver coins in his eyes.

  "If you don't agree..." The bald old man's tone suddenly changed, his face turning gloomy.

  The play is finally here, Su Tang's heart raises its vigilance, he has been waiting for this moment.

  That bald old man raised his hand and slapped it towards Su Tang's mouth. Su Tang had clearly seen that the old man's fingers were pinched between a black pellet about half a centimeter in diameter. He didn't dodge, because there was no use, but at the moment the black pellet shot into his mouth, he used the cover of his lips to raise the tip of his tongue and pressed the black pellet against the back of his lower teeth.

  That bald old man pinched Su Tang's throat with one hand and pinched his nose with the other, while another man brought over a water bag and continuously poured water into Su Tang's mouth. At first, Su Tang struggled, but he was no match for the others' strength and was forced to swallow more than ten mouthfuls of water. When the bald old man finally let go, Su Tang collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, coughing nonstop.
