Chapter 361: Eavesdropping on Major News with a Translator

Bai Wei's mind turned quickly, and she had already rapidly thought of a countermeasure.

Now, the greatest difficulty she had to face was the gun in this small leader's hand.

She only had an Electric Self-Defense Device; wanting to electrocute him was still not very easy.

Fortunately, when she came, she had considered every aspect of the situation and wore a Bulletproof Vest under her skirt; even if she were hit by a bullet from this small leader, she would not die.

But things had reached this point, and Bai Wei had no other choice but to adapt to the circumstances.

Lao Zhangtou was so anxious that smoke seemed to be coming from the corners of his mouth, and he kept winking at her.

"Bai, why don't you stop worrying about us and escape first!"

Bai Wei shook her head and said with lip-reading.

"It's okay, I will be fine."

In any case, Xiao Moting and the Peasant Army were already prepared outside the camp and would attack tonight.

She believed that Xiao Moting would definitely come to save her.

If it really came to it, she would teleport back to the modern era.

But this was a method to be used only as a last resort, because she was the key person for this night raid; if she returned to the modern era, Xiao Moting and the others would only be able to fight the Fusang People head-on, and if they alerted the Yuan Family Army in the city, they would face heavy encirclement.

Moreover, the ore in the cellar could not be moved away.

Behind her came the impatient voice of the small leader.

"Dilly-dallying, if you keep blathering, don't blame me for being impolite and splitting this old man in two."

A cold light flashed in Bai Wei's eyes.

She feigned fear, turned around, and said, "Samurai, don't lay a hand on Zhang Shu, I will do as you say."

After speaking, she was about to wipe the dust off her face.

Just at this moment, a hurried voice suddenly came.

The other party was speaking in the Fusang language, and the speech was very fast and urgent.

Bai Wei looked up and saw a Fusang Ronin rushing over, bowing and jabbering incessantly to the small leader.

The small leader's expression also changed slightly, and he asked in the Fusang language.

Bai Wei could not understand the Fusang language, but from their conversation, she could see that they were very anxious.

Could it be that some emergency had occurred?

Bai Wei thought for a moment, and while the two were in an urgent conversation and had no time to notice her, she took an earplug out of her collar pocket and put it in her ear.

This was equipment she had bought at a high price before coming to the Daliang Kingdom—an Ear-mounted Synchronous Translator.

At the time, she had considered that she would have to deal with the Fusang People and might even capture a few people to question them, so when she was purchasing supplies, she bought an Ear-mounted Synchronous Translator from the city, choosing the most expensive model in the entire store.

From the outside, this translator looked like a black earplug; as long as it was worn in the ear, it could receive nearby sounds and translate them synchronously into Huaxia.

The translator had a chip embedded in it and was loaded with language packs for several languages, so it could achieve synchronous machine translation without the internet.

Although the language translated by the machine was a bit stiff when expressed in Huaxia, it was still possible to understand the meaning, which was better than not understanding the Fusang People's jabbering.

Bai Wei put on the translator, and the next second, she heard a machine-translated female voice coming from the earplug.

"Captain, our two team members who went out on business have been detained by the National Preceptor of the Daliang Kingdom, Zhou Yanli."

The person speaking was the Fusang Ronin who was reporting to the small leader.

The "Captain" in his mouth was the small leader in front of her.

The small leader was also startled, then said with a gloomy face, "Zhou, hasn't he always stayed in his residence recuperating from illness? How could he run out and detain our people? What were you doing at the time, how did you provoke Zhou?"

"I'm sorry, Captain, it wasn't us provoking Zhou, but he brought people out without a word and captured our people who had gone out to purchase supplies."

The small leader asked, "Tell me in detail, what was the situation at the time."

"Yes! At the time, we passed a pork stall and saw that the pork on the stall was very fresh, so we asked the stall owner to help us pack up all the pork and send it to the base camp. As a result, the stall owner was very rude and actually wanted us to pay silver, otherwise he wouldn't let us take the pork."

"Our people had a dispute with the stall owner and, in a moment of anger, drew a blade and cut off his arm. As a result, the National Preceptor suddenly brought people over, detained the two people who were with me, and said that according to the laws of Daliang, he wanted to cut off the culprit's arm and also wanted Yamada to go over personally to give him a clear explanation."

"The National Preceptor let me go back to deliver the message, otherwise he said... he said he would capture me too, and wouldn't let any of us walk out alive."

As soon as this person finished speaking, the small leader was furious.

"This is simply outrageous! Zhou has hurt our people several times before, and Yamada has always refrained from holding it against him for the sake of the Shrine Maiden."

"I didn't expect him to be so excessive! Yamada has treated him with courtesy, not only sending him medicine but also sending him generous gifts several times, intending to befriend him."

"But not only does he not appreciate it, he instead opposes us Fusang People every few days; it is truly hateful."

The reporting Fusang Ronin also nodded repeatedly.

"Captain, the National Preceptor has killed many of our people. Our weapons and equipment are better than those of the Daliang people, so why has Yamada always warned us not to provoke Zhou? The Yuan Clan's army is just a bunch of trash; the swords, spears, and sticks in their hands cannot beat our Bullets at all. Why should we be afraid of Zhou?"

The small leader snorted coldly in annoyance.

"The strength of us Fusang People is now the strongest in the world, and even the monarch of the Daliang Kingdom is not taken seriously, so how could we possibly fear a mere Zhou?"

"However, don't forget that the Shrine Maiden and Zhou are old acquaintances and have the friendship of the same clan. Yamada only refrains from bearing a grudge against Zhou because of this relationship."

"Alright, don't spread the word about this matter for now. Let's go find Yamada first, report this to him, and see how he handles it."

After speaking, he didn't even care about Bai Wei, simply abandoned her, and turned to leave in a hurry.

The two probably felt that others could not understand the Fusang language and had no precautions against Bai Wei at all, only caring about their own conversation, little knowing that their chat had already been translated into Huaxia by Bai Wei using the modern translator.

As the two walked away, Bai Wei, who had been squatting on the side feigning fear, slowly stood up.

Although the machine-translated language was not very accurate, she had already understood the conversation between the two and was very shocked in her heart.

The conversation between these two revealed a large amount of information.

Zhou had privately captured Fusang People and even wanted to punish them; this was a big deal, and the surrounding Fusang People also hurriedly left with the small leader.

The surroundings finally quieted down.

At this time, Lao Zhangtou walked over with a terrified expression, patting his chest.

"That was close, I was scared to death just now, fortunately they left."

"These people are truly strange, chattering on and on; I have no idea what happened, it's just a pity we can't understand their bird-tongue and don't know what they are saying."
