Whether Beitangqing is alive or dead, of course, is a question that many people are concerned about, and Qi Ning is naturally one of them, asking: "Fifth Senior Brother didn't know the whereabouts of Beitangqing?" ”

"I don't know." Hong Mendao shook his head: "But the person who wants to see the lord this time knows the information of Beitangqing." ”

"Who is he?"

"A subordinate general of Beitangqing." Hong Mendao said softly: "Beitangqing was recalled to Luoyang by Beitanghuan's urgent order, and many of his subordinates knew that things were not good, and persuaded him not to return to Beijing, but Beitangqing thought that he had no objection, perhaps felt that the Northern Han Dynasty could not lack him, so he insisted on returning to Luoyang, when he left, two henchmen guessed that things were not good, and actually escaped from the army, and the fact was just as they expected, Beitangqing returned to Luoyang and had no information. ”

"This person is in the Northwest now?"

"Exactly." Hong Mendao nodded and said: "After Beitangqing disappeared, he and another general have been secretly looking for Beitangqing's whereabouts, and he appeared in the northwest half a year ago, and I found his traces. ”

"Captured him?"

Hong Mendao shook his head and said: "After Beitangqing disappeared, Zhong Liao was transferred to the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, and more than ten henchmen of Beitangqing were quietly dealt with. This person came to the northwest a year ago and joined an underground gang in Xianyang, and I started to search for this person's whereabouts a few years ago, but I found no trace, but I found this person in the northwest half a year ago. This person's whereabouts are already under our control, but we haven't alerted him, we want to put a long line to catch a big fish, and see if we can find Beitangqing through this person. ”

Qi Ning bowed his head and said, "I see, Fifth Senior Brother thinks Beitangqing is still alive?" ”

"I'm not sure either." Hongmen Dao Zhengse said: "It's just that my intuition tells me that Beitangqing is not so easy to die. ”

Qi Ning smiled slightly, and then said, "Then if he wants to see me this time, he naturally already knows that you have been spying on him?" ”

"For half a year, we have kept them under surveillance." Hong Mendao said softly: "But this person is also really shrewd, not long ago, one of the people I sent to spy on him suddenly lost contact, and it took a few days before he came back with a letter. It turned out that this person had already found out that he was being targeted, but he had not made a noise, and he suddenly arrested my person and asked him to bring the letter back, because he had something to look for me. ”

"Have you seen him?"

Hong Mendao nodded and said: "I have met twice, and I have also asked him about the whereabouts of Beitangqing, but he didn't say anything, only that when the time is right, he will give me an answer." He smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, in fact, I almost missed a big deal this time, after this person joined the underground gang, he has been investigating who is spying on him, and he has already found out who is on me, which is not amazing." ”

Qi Ning let out an "oh", thinking that since the other party knew the details of Hongmen Dao, if he reported it to the Qu family, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"He and I have our own fears, so we didn't act rashly." Hong Mendao's expression became serious: "I saw him once three days ago, he said that he could reveal the clues of Beitangqing, but he had to see the lord alone before he could tell him, I was afraid that there would be fraud in it, but he promised to arrange the meeting place by our side, but the condition put forward was that the meeting place must be secret, and he could only meet with the lord alone, if there were more people, he would not say a word." ”

Qi Ning was curious: "Why does he want to see me?" ”

"I was also very curious, but he didn't say much, only that he didn't mean to harm the lord." Hong Mendao smiled faintly: "I also said that what he wants to say, I am not qualified to negotiate, and the lord must come forward, if the lord agrees, he will meet tonight, otherwise the matter will be stopped, and he will not meet the lord again in the future." ”

Qi Ning groaned slightly, and then said: "Beitangqing's life and death is indeed what we want to know, does this person really know Beitangqing's whereabouts?" ”

"I'm skeptical, too." Hong Mendao frowned and said, "Otherwise, why haven't we found any connection between him and Beitangqing in the past six months?" But if he had found out that we were spying on him, he would have been careful, and would have covered it up even if there was a connection. ”

Qi Ning said: "This is true. After thinking for a while, he said, "Fifth Senior Brother, since the other party wants to meet, you can arrange it, and I want to see what he wants." ”

"Sir, there is a Taoist temple in the west of Xianyang City, which is not big, a few years ago, Qu Yuangu's wife was sick, and the doctor couldn't cure it, so he sent a notice to seek medical treatment from the people." Hongmen Dao explained: "There are several Taoist priests who claim to be able to refine the elixir to treat Mrs., Qu Yuangu built the Taoist temple as a place for alchemy, although at the beginning it also made Mrs. Qu recover some complexion, but after all, it still did not survive half a year, Qu Yuangu ordered to kill all those Taoist priests, and the Taoist temple was empty, no one dared to approach, and it was abandoned for several years. ”

"Does the other party know that you want to make an appointment at that Taoist temple?"

"That Taoist temple is called the Rejuvenation Temple, I haven't told the other party yet, the other party is still waiting for our news, if the lord thinks it's appropriate, we can arrange to meet there tonight." Hongmen Dao said in a low voice: "I arranged for people to ambush near the Taoist temple in advance, and there can also be people hidden in that Taoist temple, and some people can also be ambushed inside." ”

Qi Ning shook his head and smiled: "Either you don't see it at all, since you want to see it, you don't have to do it, if the other party sincerely wants to see me, it is not good to find that we are like a great enemy." ”

Hong Mendao frowned and said, "This .....! ”

"How is that person's martial arts?"

"It's just a soldier from the army, quite brave, but his martial arts are not very high." Hong Mendao explained.

Qi Ning bowed slightly: "Then there is Senior Brother Lao's arrangement, and I will see him tonight." "I thought that since this person asked to see him, he really wanted to see something, his current martial arts are already a first-class master, what really happens, it is not difficult for him to retreat with his whole body, not to mention that the place to meet is arranged by his own side, Hongmen Dao is cautious, since the location is arranged in the Rejuvenation Temple, he has naturally done a special investigation in advance, and he will go this time, even if he does not ambush people around the Taoist Temple, but Hongmen Dao will inevitably make careful arrangements.

Hongmen Dao is a person from the Shenhou Mansion, and if he really hurts a hair, this Hongmen Dao will not be able to escape it.

He really hoped to know the whereabouts of Beitangqing from the mouth of that general, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, that person said that even Hongmen Dao was not qualified to negotiate, so what he wanted to say must not be simple, I am afraid that it really has something to do with Beitangqing, and even if this person wants to see him, it is likely that Beitangqing is behind his back.

Beitangqing's life and death has always been an unsolved mystery, and the first intelligence of Great Chu Yamen Shenhou Mansion does not have any information about Beitangqing, but Hongmendao said that he did not believe that Beitangqing was dead, but Qi Ning also agreed with Hongmendao's speculation, and in the depths of Qi Ning's heart, he vaguely felt that Beitangqing would never be eliminated so easily.

When night fell, Xianyang City was already quiet.

Although Qi Ning has lifted the lockdown, but in a short period of time still implemented a curfew, as long as you enter the war, the whole city is under martial law, no one is allowed to walk around the street easily, and the shops must also be closed before the war, including the restaurant Lefang, so when it comes to the war, almost every household in Xianyang City closes the door, and Duan Canghai naturally also arranged a patrol team to patrol at night to ensure the safety of the city.

It was precisely at the time of the war that Hongmen Dao came to see Qi Ning and said: "Sir, everything has been arranged over there, as soon as the time comes, that person will go to the appointment in the Rejuvenation Temple, and he also promised that in addition to the sir, I can accompany the sir." ”

Qi Ning bowed slightly, thinking that Hongmen Dao was good at intelligence affairs and was shrewd, so it was not a bad thing to follow him, and asked, "How far is the Rejuvenation View from the General's Mansion?" ”

"It's only more than half an hour by carriage." Hong Mendao said in a low voice: "It's too late to set off now, and even if the lord is a little late, he won't say anything over there." ”

Qi Ning did not delay, he immediately ordered someone to prepare a carriage and leave directly from the side gate of the General's Mansion, Hongmen Dao rode in the carriage with him, seeing Hong Men Dao's face was slightly tired, Qi Ning smiled and said: "The fifth senior brother has been busy with affairs recently, and he has not rested well, so it is better to rest for two more days before leaving." ”

"Out of the way." Hong Men said with a smile: "It's common for me to stay awake for three or five days, if everything goes well tonight, I'll set off tomorrow morning and sleep in the carriage." ”

After more than half an hour, the carriage arrived on a rather secluded street, and stopped in front of a deserted Taoist temple, the two got out of the carriage, Qi Ning saw that the Taoist temple was indeed not big, not to mention how magnificent, the gray-brown gate was closed, Hongmen Road stepped forward, pushed open the gate, turned back and waved to the coachman who was driving the car, and the coachman drove away.

The two of them entered the courtyard, although it had been abandoned for many years, Qi Ning still smelled a trace of residual medicinal materials, and there was firewood piled up in the corner of the Taoist temple, which was really the place where the alchemy was made.

Hong Mendao said in a low voice: "We have already checked here, and there will be no problems." Led Qi Ning to the middle living room, pushed the door in, there were tables and chairs in the room, obviously a place to entertain, but the tables and chairs were covered with thick dust, Hong Mendao took a candle from his body, lit it and found an incense burner to plug it in, and then took out a coarse cloth from his body, and wiped the two chairs clean, and then said: "It's time, the lord will wait for a while." ”

Qi Ning bowed slightly, scanned around with his hands behind his back, and suddenly heard a gentle cough behind him, Qi Ning frowned, thinking that he had deep internal strength, if there were other people in this temple, he could easily detect it, how could there be a person behind him, and he didn't even notice it? Knowing that the other party was by no means an ordinary person, otherwise he would never have been unaware of it, turned around, and saw a person slowly walking in from outside the door.
