He Teng later noticed his hand flickering, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally brushing against his pocket. The clothes this season aren’t thick, and even if he had a pocket, just this one movent, He Teng discovered there was sothing inside that pocket. Coupled with the previous suspicion, He Teng suddenly raised his gun towards him, with this testing motion, as expected, this scared the fake farr into revealing his true colors.
The fake farr wasn’t foolish. Seeing that the farming tool was the first to give him away, his mind spun, and he was instantly furious. Only then did he realize he was tricked by Ding Long!
Judging by Ding Long’s ticulous planning, even down to knowing how to prepare worn-out clothes, if it wasn’t on purpose, how could he possibly give everyone new farming tools that hadn’t even gathered dust?
The fake farr was furious. He had even thanked Ding Long profusely before leaving, only to find out later that Ding Long had duped him.
"Damn it! Just my luck to get caught in the hands of that beast, Ding Long! At the last mont, still plotting against us!" the fake farr cursed under his breath. Then he looked up at the people and said, "Let go, and I will tell you where Ding Long and the others are hiding! One for the nine of them; think about whether you want to make this deal!"
"No deal." He Teng rejected it without a second thought and said, "Dislocate his arm, strip off his clothes, tie him directly to that tree, and then continue searching forward!"
What He Teng ant by dislocating was not to cut it off but to skillfully let his arm dislocate. Stripping him of his clothes was to ensure he couldn’t hide any other weapons on him, tie him naked to a tree, so that even if passing villagers saw him, they would assu he was put there by them and not mistakenly rescue him.
Seeing He Teng’s straightforward refusal, the fake farr knew bargaining was impossible. He gritted his teeth and still revealed Ding Long’s hiding spot, cursing that even if he were caught, he wouldn’t let Ding Long, who sched against him, get away!
He Teng didn’t respond to the fake farr’s words but only asked, "Did Ding Long also capture a newborn baby?"
The fake farr shook his head, "No, we just captured two siblings as hostages, no baby."
"How about Ding Long? Did he ever act on his own without you guys?" He Teng pressed on.
"He left a lot of tis! Occasionally, he’d take soone along, but most of the ti, he left alone. Who knows what he was up to." The fake farr spat, "I used to think he was figuring out an escape plan for us! I was blind to trust a scum like Ding Long."
"Haha, as if you’re not a scum yourself," a young soldier mocked.
After they tied up the man, He Teng led the group forward, and a young soldier beside him asked, "Shouldn’t we just go to the Storage Cave he ntioned to catch them? He said only Ding Long and a few others are hiding there, the rest have scattered. If there are only a few left, our small squad should be able to capture Ding Long, and we can quickly rescue the two minor hostages."
"No, we won’t."
He Teng seed to have reverted to his earlier reticent self, sparing words and thinking fast. From the start, he didn’t plan on making a deal with the fake farr, nor did he intend to follow the fake farr’s advice to raid the Storage Cave.
