Chapter 143 Drinking with Yaya
Although the Tiger and Leopard Demon's subordinates were nervous, they gradually relaxed their vigilance when they saw Ximen Tianyu and others were eating happily, and occasionally they would secretly exchange reassuring glances with them.
Soon, the midnight snack ended with the guards' bullshit. But Ximen Tianyu did not forget the mission of this trip. He pulled Tiger Military Advisor in front of him and continued to explain: "You have done a good job today. I will tell you a secret."
Hearing Ximen Tianyu's slightly drunken accent, Tiger Military Advisor's heart trembled, but on the surface he pretended to be calm and asked respectfully: "Sir, I wonder what kind of secret it is that makes you value it so much?"
Ximen Tianyu narrowed his eyes, as if he was enjoying the feeling of control at this moment. He slowly said, "You know, a big incident happened in Tushan not long ago. Several fox demons were attacked by unknown forces when they went out."
"But I don't know where the news came from, saying that this incident might be done by you, the Tiger and Leopard Tribe, so they ordered us to patrol here. But when I came here today, I felt that the higher-ups must have misunderstood you. After all, the brothers of the Tiger and Leopard Tribe are so enthusiastic, how could they stir up trouble for no reason?"
"You said so, Brother Tiger."
Ximen Tianyu said meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Tiger Military Advisor's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly reacted and immediately said with a smile: "Your Excellency is right. Since the establishment of the Demon Alliance, our Tiger and Leopard Tribe has always been law-abiding and will never do anything to offend Tushan."
"I think so too, but we cannot disobey the orders of our superiors. We have to patrol here until Master Hong Hong comes out of seclusion. At that time, we will have to entertain the brothers of the Tiger and Leopard Tribe."
When Ximen Tianyu said this, he winked at Advisor Hu, meaning that they would be responsible for providing midnight snacks for the next month.
Military Advisor Hu understood what he meant and quickly nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, sir. As long as you and your brothers are still here, we will have midnight snacks every day. We will never let you and your brothers go hungry!"
Ximen Tianyu nodded with satisfaction, and then asked casually, "Oh, by the way, Tiger Military Advisor, have you found any suspicious people or unusual situations recently? After all, the fact that this fox demon was secretly plotted against is indeed disturbing."
Upon hearing this, Tiger Military Advisor frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then replied, "Sir, to be honest, there are indeed several unknown forces roaming around our Tiger and Leopard territory recently, but they have carefully avoided our patrols and left no obvious traces. Although we have noticed them, we have not been able to find out their details."
"Oh? Is this true?" Ximen Tianyu pretended to be surprised, then he pondered, "It seems that there is a big conspiracy behind this. Tiger Army Advisor, you must strengthen your vigilance. If you find any abnormal situation, report it immediately. At the same time, you must also pay attention to protecting your own people."
"Yes, sir, we will!" Military Advisor Hu responded quickly.
As he watched Ximen Tianyu and the others go away, Tiger Military Advisor's face gradually darkened. Through the conversation just now, he learned a lot of information that he had never known before.
"We have to go and discuss this with our eldest brother quickly."
With this thought in mind, Tiger Military Advisor hurried to the tiger demon leader's cave...
……
In the blink of an eye, nearly a month had passed. Not counting today, there were only three days left until Tushan invited all the demons to gather.
In the past month, Ximen Tianyu dragged Tushan Yaya to the Tiger and Leopard Tribe's territory every night to have a big meal, causing chaos among the entire Tiger and Leopard Tribe, but the other party still had no intention of taking action and just kept treating them with good wine and food.
As for the intelligence side, Tushan Rongrong is in charge. After days of investigation, Tushan has learned about most of the monster tribes that are very close to the tiger and leopard tribe. Among them, the one with the closest contacts is the bat tribe, which means that they are very likely the murderers who collaborated with the tiger and leopard tribe to commit crimes.
"Let's go, Sister Yaya. It's time to find Sister Rongrong to change our appearance and prepare for patrol."
That evening, Ximen Tianyu found Tushan Yaya as usual and prepared to carry out the mission. But Tushan Yaya sat by a stream with her back to Dongfang Tianyu and did not respond to her words.
"What's wrong, Sister Yaya?"
Ximen Tianyu noticed Tushan Yaya's abnormality and asked with a little concern.
Before Ximen Tianyu could reach Tushan Yaya, a strong smell of alcohol wafted into his nose.
Ximen Tianyu frowned slightly, and his eyes could not help but fall on the endless wine pot beside Tushan Yaya: "Sister Yaya, are you drinking again?"
There was a hint of worry in Ximen Tianyu's tone. He gently walked to Tushan Yaya and sat down next to her.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on Tushan Yaya's face, adding a touch of softness to her, but it could not hide the subtle sadness.
The next moment, Tushan Yaya picked up the endless wine jug again and wanted to take another sip, but was stopped by Ximen Tianyu.
"Sister Yaya, I know you are still upset about what happened a month ago, but if we want to bring the murderer to justice, we need you to stay awake and complete the next task."
While persuading her, Ximen Tianyu tried to take the endless wine jug from her hand.
As if she had noticed Dongfang Tianyu's intention, Tushan Rongrong simply took the initiative to hand the endless wine jug to Ximen Tianyu.
"Drink."
When Ximen Tianyu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what Tushan Yaya meant.
"You don't want me to drink? Then you drink it."
Tushan Yaya turned and looked at Ximen Tianyu, her eyes full of provocation.
Ximen Tianyu looked at Tushan Yaya, then looked at the endless wine pot that was almost as big as him, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face.
If for no other reason, Ximen Tianyu could not drink and had never drunk before. The slightly tipsy tone he had used when talking to Tiger Military Advisor was all faked in order to let the other party relax his vigilance.
Seeing that Ximen Tianyu was slow to move, Tushan Yaya's eyes flashed with disappointment, and she immediately wanted to take the endless wine jug back.
This action immediately stimulated Dongfang Tianyu. He suddenly grabbed the wine jug and took a big gulp.
The strong liquor slid into his throat like a flame, instantly igniting his taste buds. Ximen Tianyu couldn't help coughing a few times, his eyes slightly reddened, and the passion that had been ignited with great difficulty in his heart was instantly diluted by the spiciness of the alcohol.
But he still endured the discomfort and did not spit out the wine. Instead, he swallowed it down to prove his determination.
Seeing Ximen Tianyu's embarrassed appearance, Tushan Yaya's worried face finally showed a smile: "You deserve it. You obviously can't drink, but you still insist on being stubborn."
