74: C74 Conspiracy

C74 Conspiracy

Yu Yue did not expect Zhang Tong's influence to be so great. There was basically no one in the group talking to him now. Only the deputy commander would sometimes talk to him.

Today, he was on night duty again.

The sky was dark, the moon was dim, and the stars were sparsely visible. The forest at night was quiet and mysterious.

Not far away, the fire crackled. Yu Yue had nothing to do as he threw the firewood into the fire.

Over the past few days, he had basically figured out the situation of Saber Mercenary Group.

The Saber Mercenary Group was a very ordinary small Mercenary Group in the Qiluo City. The mission he received this time was to kill a level 20 Silver Level BOSS and obtain the special materials from it. For this reason, they went deep into the Aya Forest and finally killed the Boss after much effort. Now, they were on their way back.

Although this quest was difficult, the rewards were equally generous. If they returned to the city and handed in the quest, they would receive a huge reward.

He only needed to escort them back to Qiluo City. The journey was about 20 days, not short nor long. He hoped that nothing bad would happen. As long as Zhang Tong did not go too far, he could tolerate it. He did not want to complicate things. Zhang Tong's prejudice against him was that he was weak and easy to bully.

If he revealed his true strength, this problem could be perfectly solved. But he did not want to do something as risky as exposing his strength.

As he thought about it, he threw another piece of dried tree branch into the pile of firewood.

At this time, a commotion suddenly came from the forest, and the sound of someone stepping on the grass could be heard.

"Who is it!" He raised his head vigilantly. That was the direction of the campsite, and it should be the people of Mercenary Group.

A slightly plump face appeared and chuckled at him.

Yu Yue put down his guard. This person's name was Huang Dongqiang, and he was the cook of the Mercenary Group. He was the one who first discussed with Xie Kaicai about not having enough food to eat.

"Brother Huang, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping? What's the matter?" He looked at the smiling Huang Dongqiang, not understanding why this man was here.

"Nothing much. I just can't sleep. I'm here to see you, brother." Huang Dongqiang chuckled and sat down beside him.

Yu Yue looked at him from the corner of his eye, waiting for his next words. He didn't believe that Huang Dongqiang had come to find him so late at night just to chat.

Huang Dongqiang looked at the dancing flames and complained, "Captain is really too much. He made you work at night every day. It's really hard on you."

Someone was fighting for justice for him. Yu Yue was surprised. He was more vigilant.

If he did not have anything to do, then he was either a traitor or a thief.

This fellow came to find him at night and said bad things about the Guild Leader. What did he mean by that? Could it be that he had a problem with the Guild Leader and wanted to beat him up to rebel?

That's not right. If I don't have the strength... Secondly, I don't have connections. What good would it do even if I were to join them? Furthermore, Huang Dongqiang was a coward. He didn't seem like someone who had the courage to do such a thing.

Yu Yue probed, "That's not right. I think the cause of this matter is Zhang Tong. She must be talking to the commander. That's why I was assigned to this position."

Huang Dongqiang nodded. "Actually, I think so too. Zhang Tong has gone too far. Originally, what happened that day was not your fault, but she kept pestering me. It's really hard on you. " After saying that, Huang Dongqiang even sighed, looking very angry for him.

This made Yu Yue even more puzzled. Could it be that he really came here to deepen their relationship?

Yu Yue shrugged and pretended to be helpless. "I have no choice. I am angry but I dare not say anything. Without the protection of Saber Mercenary Group, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk out of this forest. "

His words revealed the opinions of the rest of the Mercenary Group toward him. It was precisely because his life was in the hands of the Saber Mercenary Group that the commander dared to hand over his hard work to him. The reason why he was suppressed like this was because he knew that he wouldn't dare to leave the Mercenary Group.

However, it was the truth. He was tied to the Saber Mercenary Group by the Grand Knight's passive system and could not leave.

"Sigh, there are all kinds of difficulties in life. Just bear with it for a while." He did not expect Huang Dongqiang to give him such a big reason. He pursed his lips and said again, "Let's not talk about these boring things. Actually, I came this time... to ask you to help me with something."

Seeing that Huang Dongqiang had finally returned to the main point, he was also interested. He did not know what kind of matter Huang Dongqiang had to trouble him with.

"You know how to cook. You know how to cook, right?"

Yu Yue was stunned.

How could it be related to cooking?

"You know how to cook a little. How do you know that?"

Huang Dongqiang smiled and explained, "I've heard your evaluation of food these few days. Every cook has a special sensitivity to food. I found this feeling in you." He stuck his neck out proudly, as if this was something to be proud of.

Yu Yue did not understand the sensitivity of food at all. He said, "Just tell me what it is. Don't hide it."

Huang Dongqiang leaned over mysteriously and whispered, "Actually, I want to ask you to cook for me tomorrow."

"I'll cook?"

Huang Dongqiang smiled and said, "To be honest, cooking every day is very tiring. That is the weight of more than 20 people. As for me, I'm also tired of cooking all day long. Occasionally, I also want to rest for a few days - I'll pay you specially. Sorry to trouble you. "

Huang Dongqiang put his palms together in a very sincere manner.

"Uh..." This request made Yu Yue a little confused. He also did not know why he had the possibility of becoming a cook of Mercenary Group.

He did not reply for a long time.

Huang Dongqiang did not wait. He took a step forward and held Yu Yue's hand. "If you do this, I will take it as you agreeing. Fifty copper coins for a meal. This is two silver coins. Help me prepare two days' worth of food. Thank you! "

After saying that, Huang Dongqiang stuffed two silver coins into his hands. Then, like a gust of wind, he quickly left, leaving Yu Yue, who had yet to react, staring blankly at the silver coins.

...

After Huang Dongqiang left, he followed the route back to the camp, but after a few steps, he looked back like a thief.

He found that there was no one following him, so he deviated from the path. The thief came under a huge rock.

He waited under the huge rock. Not long later, a black shadow walked out from behind the huge rock.

It was Zhang Tong.

"How is the matter?" She asked.

Huang Dongqiang nodded. "It went well. He has my deposit. He will definitely cook tomorrow."

Zhang Tong nodded in satisfaction. "That's right. We will act according to the plan tomorrow. If the matter is successful, the money promised to you will definitely be given to you."

Greed shone in Huang Dongqiang's eyes as he nodded his head vigorously.

"Don't worry. Nothing will go wrong. I guarantee that he will regret coming to our Mercenary Group!"

A sinister smile emerged on Zhang Tong's pretty face.

"Yu Yue, Yu Yue, do you really think I will let this matter rest? It's good that you have come to our Mercenary Group. If I don't peel off a layer of skin from you, I will never let you leave this place!"

The next day, yu jumped up early in the morning. Although he only slept in the later half of the night because he was on duty, he didn't feel sleepy at all. The change in his constitution caused by the adventurer profession was very obvious.

He took Huang Dongqiang's money for no reason, so he had to do something. It was just cooking. Although he did not say how delicious it was, it was still comparable to the food in ordinary restaurants.

When he returned to the camp, he happened to meet Huang Dongqiang, who was preparing breakfast.

When Huang Dongqiang saw him, he was a little surprised.

"You woke up so early. You were on night shift, so why didn't you take a good rest?"1

Yu Yue smiled bitterly. "You gave me the money. I can't stand you up, right?"

Huang Dongqiang rolled his eyes.

"But I just want you to make lunch and dinner for me. Forget it. Since you are so enthusiastic, I will let you make breakfast. I'll give you the money later. "
