Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 452 Half a Month

Tang Xin stepped forward, looking at the continuously exploding harbor. He pondered and said, "City Lord, things are probably not as simple as we think! We need to hurry and capture Ye Qing and the others, preferably alive!"

"First Li Yidao, then Ye Qing. Their appearance means that Mangshan or Yi Shuihan have begun to suspect this island. They will definitely come to attack it!" Tang Xin said. "We'd better capture him alive. If Ye Qing is really dead, they won't have any concerns. After we capture him, we can join forces with Louis Vigus and get them to send ships. Using Ye Qing as bait, we can escape!"

“Hmph!” Van Guis said.

……

After several hours of trekking through the mountains and forests, Ye Qing and his companions returned to the village. As soon as they arrived, Li Yidao and the others greeted them, asking, "How did it go?"

Qi Pingan chuckled and said, "We set off a huge firework display for them. Van Guis is probably furious right now. It's just a pity we can't get a close look at his expression!"

The men were overjoyed!

Kuang Lao's face showed a hint of worry as he said, "Even so, I reckon that Van Guis and his men will definitely intensify their search of us in retaliation, which will increase our risk of being exposed."

"Like I said, this island isn't small. If we hide, it won't be so easy for them to find us!" Ye Qing said calmly. "From now on, everyone can just live their normal lives."

After returning to the village, the time passed quite peacefully.

The whole village was incredibly boring; most people just played cards or something.

Ye Qing, on the other hand, mainly passed the time by practicing martial arts.

Before they knew it, only four days remained until the one-month deadline Ye Qing had agreed upon. During this time, they had remained undetected!

Of course, the entire city was conducting a thorough search for them. Ye Qing and his group had seen people passing by on the road below several times. Fortunately, they were lucky and no one had managed to find them on the mountain.

That day, Ye Qing had just gotten up and practiced his morning boxing routine when he saw Qi Ping'an excitedly running towards him, saying, "Ye Qing, something good has happened!"

"What?" Ye Qing asked.

"You'll see when you come with me!" Qi Ping'an chuckled.

Ye Qing walked over out of curiosity, and before long, they discovered an underground passage beneath the floor of a room.

"Damn it, this is what the bandits here told me. There's an underground passage here that's two kilometers long. If we're ever discovered, we can escape through this passage!" Qi Ping'an said.

This unexpected gain undoubtedly added to their sense of security.

"How many people know about this?" Ye Qing asked.

Qi Pingan shook his head and said, "Only a few of us know!"

"Based on our calculations, they should start searching for some hilltops," Ye Qing said. "It's only a matter of time before they find us here. Let's just hope they don't discover us in the next four days!"

"It's a pity, damn it, that mole is very well hidden," Qi Ping'an said. "He hasn't given himself away yet!"

"This also proves that our previous guess was correct. The mole was among those people. During this time, they ate and slept together, keeping an eye on each other, and he had no chance to contact the outside world!"

After half a month, Li Yidao's injuries had almost completely healed.

Without a doubt, this is a good thing for them!

The two greeted Mr. Kuang and the others, and then came out.

As soon as he came out, he heard a sound coming from inside the village.

In the open space of the village, two small gates were built with wood. At this moment, someone had put up a soccer ball, and two groups of people were playing soccer on it!

Ye Qing looked at it and saw that the soccer ball seemed to be made of animal hide.

Although it's quite different from real football, it's still a way to have some fun in this boring environment.

"Where did the football come from?" Ye Qing asked curiously.

Beside him, Qi Ping'an said with a sneer, "I heard from Chen Xiu that it's Gao Yu, one of Old Kuang's men, the one guarding the gate over there!"

As Qi Ping'an spoke, he pointed to Gao Yu in the distance and said, "He has been sewing it up with animal hides during this time."

"This guy has this skill too?" Ye Qing looked at the tall Gao Yu with a strange expression!

At this moment, Gao Yu had placed the soccer ball in front of him. He waved his hand and said, "Brothers, move forward, I'm going to launch a long ball!"

Ye Qing watched with great interest.

A moment later, Gao Yu kicked out!

As a top player, he used a lot of force in that kick, sending the ball flying high into the air.

Before long, it crashed into a pillar not far away, and then bounced off, actually bouncing down the mountain.

"Damn it, why did you kick it so far!" Chen Xiu immediately cursed, "Now look what's happened, the ball's gone, nobody can kick it anymore!"

"Exactly! You were bragging to me before that you were a professional soccer player before you came to this island. Professional my ass!" another person cursed.

"Oh, mine! I'll go get it!" Gao Yu said quickly.

"I don't even know where it flew off to, what's the point of picking it up!" Chen Xiu said with dissatisfaction. "I finally found a little bit of fun, and now it's all gone."

Hearing their conversation, Ye Qing silently lit a cigarette, then looked at Gao Yu and the others who were laughing and joking, and took a deep drag.

"Damn it!" Qi Ping'an cursed, "I was going to kick it, and now it's gone."

"I'll sew one more, I'll sew one more!" Gao Yu said cheerfully.

This seemed to be just an interlude, an accident. But Ye Qing's eyes narrowed slightly!

He didn't say much, but looked around and found Wang Chaoyin not far away, waving to him.

Wang Chaoyin, who had been playing football for a while, ran over, covered in sweat, and asked, "Brother Ye, what's wrong?"

"Did Gao Yu say he was a professional football player?" Ye Qing asked.

"That's what he's been bragging about these past few days," Wang Chaoyin said, pursing his lips. "What's wrong with him?"

"Has he done anything strange these past few days?" Ye Qing asked.

Wang Chaoyin's expression shifted slightly as he asked, "You suspect him?"

He paused for a moment and then said, "Aside from the pain of sewing this soccer ball, there's nothing strange about it!"

"It's nothing!" Ye Qing patted his shoulder and then said, "You can go now. Half an hour later, have Chen Xiu bring Gao Yu over to the main hall of the village."
