Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 639: Dark Evil

"Then tell us the truth now. Where did you get this blanket from?" Tie Hongyan said.

"Dear guest...this...can I not tell you? I just said that I won't lie to you, and naturally I won't tell lies again. Then it's okay for me not to answer this question. If I don't answer it, I won't lie to you." Ao Gong said.

Tie Hongyan and You Xiangming looked at each other and thought: Is there really some unspeakable secret here?

You Xiangming said: "You can think about what your situation would be like if she hadn't come to your rescue just now."

“I know…but…but…if I tell it, I don’t know what will happen next…” said Ao Gong.

You Xiangming said: "If you don't tell me, maybe your fate will be even worse. You need to think clearly, is it better to get through this hurdle first, or think about the future but not even get through today. Don't forget, the person standing in front of you just saved you, maybe he can still help you."

Ao Gong rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, it has come to this point anyway. It may not be good for me to tell you or not. Maybe there will be good things if I tell you. I will tell you!"

"Go ahead." Tie Hongyan said.

"These blankets were indeed imported from outside the Tiecang tribe, and that is indeed a little-known place. However, it is not the Xinong tribe, nor is it the Xiangteng Mountain." Ao Gong wanted to say it directly, but he was always hesitant, so he revealed it bit by bit.

"Just tell me where it is." You Xiangming said impatiently.

"Yes, yes, I said. It's...it's in the Nether Valley." Ao Gong said.

You Xiangming asked: "Which tribe does this place belong to?"

"I don't belong to any tribe." Ao Gong replied.

You Xiangming asked: "What's the situation outside the valley?"

"They are all mountains, and the mountain roads are extremely steep." "Do the mountains have names?" You Xiangming asked.

"It didn't have a name originally. Later, some people found that people they knew went there and never came back. They thought that the mountain must be haunted by ghosts, so the mountains in that area were later called 'Haunted Mountain'."

"No one would dare to live near that mountain for a long time, right?" You Xiangming asked.

"Yes, some people didn't live close to there, but they still felt that they were not far enough away, so they moved to live farther away." said Ao Gong.

Tie Hongyan said: "Haunted Mountain, Dark Valley, how can you come and go freely?"

"My identity is a bit special, and I know how to enter the mountains and valleys. In fact, there are some places in the valley that I can't enter." said Ao Gong.

Tie Hongyan asked: "What exactly do you do?"

"I'm just a businessman. I buy blankets from the Nether Valley and sell them in the Tiecang tribe." said Ao Gong.

"There are many businesses to do, why do you have to import blankets from such a far place and sell them here?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"I was forced to do it. I accidentally offended someone before, and that person wanted to kill me. I begged him for mercy, and he used this as a handle to threaten me to do such a thing." Ao Gong said helplessly.

"Threatening your business? Things can't be that simple, right?" Tie Hongyan said.

"As expected, your Excellency has guessed it right away. Of course, I am not just doing business. I also need to understand some situations and report to that person. I also need to deliver letters and things for that person in the name of purchasing goods." said Ao Gong.
