Chapter 168: Dead Dao Friend
Ah Shou lived up to his trust, met the person he wanted to see, and sent the letter he wanted to send.
As night fell, in a remote wing of the Hidden Mansion, Ah Shou lit a lamp and candle, and then walked to the window, observing the movement outside with a nervous face.
After a while, he turned his head again and looked at Xu Qi, who was reading the letter by the light.
No one was allowed to walk around in the hidden mansion, Ah Shou deliberately came later, privately used silver to buy off a small eunuch he knew in the palace before, borrowed other people's clothes, and sneaked to Xu Qi while it was dark.
Ah Shou was a little worried at the moment, it was smooth to come in, how should he get out later?
The commander of the Wu who was in charge of the guards in the subterranean mansion was simply sharp-eyed, and he could only act when he saw the opportunity.
God forbid, don't let him bump into that one!
"Your senior sister...... Didn't let you talk? ”
Xu Qi raised his eyes from behind the bookcase, still holding the letter in his hand.
Ah Shou shook his head.
Under the candlelight, Fifth Brother Xu showed a little disappointment on his face.
Ah Shou was a little unbearable.
He knew Fifth Brother Xu's difficulties, if he wasn't afraid of injuring Senior Sister, he wouldn't have avoided it last time.
Senior Sister said......
Ah Shou struggled to make up a sentence, "Her meaning is all in the letter." ”
Xu Qi chuckled.
That's right.
Wei Xiangjun's meaning, he realized.
This is for Xu Qi to do by himself.
In other words, the group of people living in the Liang Guoyi House at this moment have all used open and dark means.
King Shou has tested Xu Qi several times to see if he has any plans to go back.
Every time, Xu Qi let him relax.
Of course, Xu Qi understands that although King Ping ascends to the throne, the real power is in the hands of Xu Guogong. This time, it was his grandfather who wanted to get Xu Qi back, and he didn't even care about paying the price of opposing Qi Guo.
And Yin Sheng's gang obviously wanted to achieve Xu Guogong's wish.
Yin Sheng has a skill that ordinary people can't learn, he will imitate other people's handwriting, almost confusing the real with the fake.
As a confidant of Xu Guogong, to be honest, he had done a lot for Xu Qi in his previous life.
However, it was also he who forged a so-called letter from Xu Qi to persuade a certain official to support King Shou and rebel against the king, which was used as a handle by Queen Zhao, who was in charge at the time, and beat Xu Qi so much that he couldn't turn over.
Such people, Xu Qi is ashamed to be with them.
Especially this time, what Yin Sheng did stabbed Xu Qi in the sore spot.
Who said that the revenge of the previous life cannot be avenged in this life?
Footsteps were heard outside.
Ah Shou glanced at it, his face changed greatly, and he was flustered for a moment, and he was about to get under the bookcase.
Xu Qi stretched out his hand and pulled him out, "It's a man, you can't be impatient when you encounter something." ”
He won't let Ah Shou have an accident, otherwise, let alone reuniting after breaking the mirror, Wei Xiangjun ate his heart.
Originally, Xu Qi planned to personally send Ah Shou out after a while, but it just so happened that someone sent it at this time.
"Xu Lao Wu, the Lord wants to kill you again today!"
Commander Wu stepped in quickly, so fast that Ah Shou didn't have time to hide, so he only lowered his head.
But at a glance, Commander Wu recognized the little eunuch standing next to Xu Qi, and shouted, "What are you kid doing here?" ”
Ah Shou's legs were weak, but Xu Qi reached out to help him before he stopped.
Xu Qi said casually, "I'm not feeling well today, call him over to take a look at him." When Commander Wu returned, he sent Ah Shou out by the way. ”
Commander Wu was so angry that he laughed, "Who are you stupid? This kid came to ask for a pulse, so he had to pretend to be a little eunuch? ”
Turning his head, Commander Wu went up and grabbed Ah Shou's collar and slipped him to him, "Say, why did you come here without permission?" ”
"I ......"
Ah Shou plucked up his courage, "The guards didn't allow me to enter, so I had to change my clothes." ”
He is Zheng Qiaosheng's apprentice and Wei Xiangjun's junior brother, and he must not lose their face.
"Don't tell the truth, do you want me to copy the Zhengxiu Hall or the Hanxiang Hou Mansion?"
With a "snap", a wolf hit the wrist of Commander Wu who was grabbing Ah Shou.
Xu Qi used a lot of strength to throw the pen, but Commander Wu didn't let go.
"You can ask me, what is the ability to bully a child?"
Xu Qi took another pen and turned it in the palm of his hand, like turning a sharp dagger.
Ah Shou was too frightened to speak.
Commander Wu finally let go of his hand and patted it lightly on Ah Shou's head, "I know that you feel sorry for your brother-in-law." ”
Ah Shou was frightened, retreated to the window, and leaned against the wall to not sit on the ground.
Commander Wu folded his arms, "Say, why did you call him over, could it be that you want to run?" Old Five, we are also brothers who have been born and died, don't force me to be a killer......"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Qi said, "Ming'er I'm going to go out, you come with me." ”
"Joke!"
"You're a coachman for me!"
"Don't take an inch, you kid."
"When the matter is done, you escort me back."
Xu Qi waved his hand and gave an eviction order, "Commander Wu is busy!" ”
Ah Shou looked at Xu Qi in surprise, that is, the fifth brother, others really didn't have the guts, and shouted at Commander Wu.
And Commander Wu seemed to be thunderous, but his face was red and his neck was thick, and he couldn't see the movements behind him.
"Impossible!"
Commander Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you know that the Lord wakes up every day and wants to kill you first?" ”
"Oops!"
Ah Shou called out.
Xu Qi and Ah Shou looked at him together.
"I'm right in front of me, whether it's life or death, listen to it. Can...... But to be in one breath, I have to protect my own woman. ”
In Ah Shou's admiring gaze, Xu Qi moved the letter on the table to Commander Wu.
I didn't expect Fifth Brother Xu to show my senior sister's letter to outsiders, Ah Shou was not happy, and threw himself directly on the bookcase, "Fifth brother, it won't work!" ”
"Get up!"
Xu Qi patted Ah Shou on the back, "This is a letter written by someone else under my name, wanting to calculate your senior sister." ”
Ah Shou was stunned for a moment, raised his body slightly, and looked down at the letter.
"I see it's your handwriting."
After a while, Commander Wu held the letter in his hand and sneered: "You are a scheming person, and you have come up with new tricks? ”
"It's not Fifth Brother Xu!"
Ah Shou said anxiously: "If the fifth brother wrote it, the senior sister will not let me send the letter." ”
"This shows that Miss Wei still knows that she is from Jibei and does not dare to betray the Lord."
When Commander Wu said this, Ah Shou was a little dumbfounded.
It seems like...... There is also this possibility.
Xu Qi put his hands behind his back and looked out the window with his head propped up, "If I want to see her, which of you can stop it?" I have a brain problem, and I have to go to Guanglong Temple, which is crowded with people? ”
"Didn't you want to elope with her?"
Commander Wu pouted.
"Don't worry, she has earned a lot of business, fame and fortune, this life is very comfortable, take a knife to her neck, Miss Wei will not go with me to be a mourning dog."
I really couldn't hold back, Ah Shou laughed.
His senior sister really refused to suffer.
Commander Wu pondered for a while. It seems that Xu Qi has some truth in what he said, but it really seems like a strong word.
Xu Qi said again: "Boss Wu, just help me with this?" ”
Commander Wu did not hesitate, "Don't help!" ”
Ah Shou opened his mouth.
He wanted to help.
Xu Qi said to himself: "I will go to Guanglong Temple tomorrow, I want to see who dares to beat her idea." By the way, help me borrow a carriage from the Han Xianghou. ”
Ah Shou was puzzled, "Why?" ”
Xu Qi smiled, "Go to the appointment of the person who wrote the letter." ”
As long as he Xu Qi is there, no one can touch Wei Xiangjun, and not a single hair can be touched.
Commander Wu was relieved, "If it is really as you said, I will inform Aunt Cui and send a few people to follow Miss Wei." ”
"I have to go myself."
Ah Shou made up his mind, "I'll borrow the car in Xifu, and I'll accompany the fifth brother over tomorrow!" ”
Commander Wu almost jumped to his feet and yelled at Ah Shou: "Want to rebel? Without my permission, Xu Qi is not even allowed to go out of this house! ”
At the end of the next day, a horse-drawn carriage marched on the official road to Guanglong Temple.
"Drive!"
As soon as the coachman whipped his whip, the horse ran faster and faster.
"Do you need that?"
The people inside were unhurried.
The coachman turned his head and said, "You are willing to use me, why don't you bring your brother-in-law?" ”
"I'm a Taoist priest."
"What do you mean?"
"Dead friends don't die poor."
Xu Qihui took it for granted.
Just now, Ah Shou drove the car to the city gate, Xu Qi kicked him down directly, and instructed him not to let anyone know about today's events.
As for Commander Wu......
Xu Qi must bring this.
Now his every move will pass through the broken mouth of Commander Wu and reach the ears of the lord of the country. Even the forged letter should have been on the desk of Chonghua Palace.
For Xu Qi, being frank and swaying can save his life, but if he has half a point of cover-up, he will immediately arouse suspicion and even ...... The head falls to the ground.
Commander Wu snorted and suddenly pulled the carriage.
"Why don't you go?"
"People have three urgencies. Either we go together, or you wait here. ”
As he spoke, Commander Wu jumped down.
Xu Qi sat in the car, crying and laughing.
This guy is not afraid now, he really took the opportunity to run away?
Xu Qi naturally won't run.
He was still waiting for the opportunity to be with Wei Xiangjun openly.
The sound of horses' hooves came from afar.
Xu Qi's hand immediately touched the sidecar on his waist.
Yin Sheng came up with this trick, and nine times out of ten he wanted to kidnap Wei Xiangjun and then lure him to chase him.
Now everyone seems to know that Wei Xiangjun is Xu Qi's weakness.
That's it, Xu Qi...... Sweet.
Several horses crossed the carriage with the emblem of the Han Township Marquis Mansion and galloped away.
It seems that he is overly nervous.
There weren't many cars and horses on the official road at this time. When the sound of the horses' hooves faded away, all they could hear was the croaking of crows and the howling of wild beasts that haunted the mountains.
A sharp arrow "swished" through the felt canopy of the carriage, almost hitting Xu Qi's face.
Xu Qi was startled and quickly rolled to the ground.
"Shoot!"
A woman is ordering.
The sound of arrows roared for a while.
Xu Qi suddenly realized.
He still wanted to keep it simple.
Those people simply wanted Wei Xiangjun's life, and they didn't even plan to stay alive.
"Yin Niangzi, do you really want to kill her?"
Someone is asking.
"Wei Xiangjun is a disaster, the old man finally picked a desirable successor, how can the fifth master be a woman and give up a good future!"
"If the fifth master knows......"
"That woman is dead, the fifth master has no idea, can he still stay in Jibei?"
The woman snorted coldly, "Besides, it's the Jibei people who did it, the fifth master wants to take revenge, go find them!" It's done, go inside and see, if the person is dead! ”
Xu Qi raised his hand and pulled down an arrow that had pierced into his bun.
"What a bold man, he actually committed murder in broad daylight?"
Commander Wu roared.
Xu Qi jumped out of the carriage in response.
