Chapter 22: Seeing Through the Conspiracy

After lunch, Qinghu thought he was going to leave, but after packing his bags, he couldn't see any signs of Shi Chong and the others leaving. knocked on Shi Chong's door, no one responded, and was about to go back to the house, when the door between Shi Chong and him "creaked" open, revealing Shi Rou's beautiful face, with a hint of lazy taste.

Qinghu asked: "Sister Shi Rou, where is your eldest brother, aren't we going, let's go now, if you ride a horse, you should be able to reach Wucheng before dark." ”

Shi Rou smiled and said, "Brother Tiger, come in and talk!"

Qinghu hesitated slightly, but still moved into the house. Shi Rou said solemnly: "The eldest brother is going to see a person, the person in charge of a stronghold of my Covenant clan in the surrendered city, named Tuotai, is one of my Abba's sworn brothers, but the eldest brother suspects that there are traitors in the clan, so he doesn't dare to completely rest assured about Tuotai!" After a pause, he said: "The eldest brother commanded, if he hasn't returned before dark, let Brother Tiger send me to a safe place, and live an ordinary life incognito from now on!"

Qinghu pondered for a moment, and had already thought that Shi Chong was obviously worried that the three of them would not be able to reach Wuzhou City safely, and the pursuers must have been waiting for them outside the surrendered city, maybe the outside of this inn had been closely monitored, and once they left the city, the three of them would be killed immediately.

He gently opened a gap in the window and looked out, sure enough, there were a few people who looked suspicious, and Qinghu secretly sighed about his lack of experience in the rivers and lakes. Qinghu had already affirmed that Shi Chong had roughly identified the traitor in the clan, and he was a very powerful person, and this person must be someone whom Shi Chongji respected and trusted, so he took the risk of temptation. Shi Chong's actions have completely won Qinghu's respect, in fact, when Shi Chong came to Qinghu yesterday, Qinghu was already a little dissatisfied with Shi Chong, as an elder brother, Shi Chong did not put his sister's happiness first, which was almost unacceptable to Qinghu, who was extremely affectionate. But Shi Chong's behavior today let Qinghu know that he is not a person who can sacrifice his sister's happiness for revenge or even ambition. Qinghu secretly decided that if something happened to Shi Chong, he would definitely fight his enemy for him in his lifetime.

"Brother Qinghu, what are you thinking about, not speaking for a long time?" Shi Rou's words pulled Qinghu's thoughts back.

"It's nothing, Sister Shi Rou, do you know where your eldest brother is and who in your clan knows about this stronghold in the surrendered city?" Qinghu asked.

"I don't know, my father and eldest brother never told me about this, and I don't want to know. Shi Rou replied. Then he said: "The person in the clan who is responsible for contacting the Central Plains Dynasty and the various tribes in the grassland has always been our uncle, Wan Yanshou!"

"What is the relationship between Wan Yanshou and you?" Qinghu asked again.

"No, Brother Tiger, you can't doubt our uncle, my uncle is still unmarried, and he treats me and my brother as his own!" Shi Rou's face turned a little pale, obviously extremely reluctant to think about some terrible fact.

Qinghu probably knew that Shi Chong should also be suspicious of his uncle, and his uncle was also the most suspicious. The stronghold in the surrendered city is directly responsible for Wanyan Shou, if his uncle has a problem, then the stronghold is waiting for him is the net of heaven and earth, thinking of this, I can't help but worry.

"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door, and after hearing Shi Rou shout into the door, Shi Chong, who was excited, walked in.

"Brother Qinghu is also here, and I was about to call you!" Shi Chong said happily.

"It seems that Brother Shi Chong, you are going very smoothly, and you have a knot in your heart, if I guess correctly, I shouldn't have to go to Wuzhou!" Qinghu said indifferently.

Shi Chong gave a thumbs up and said, "I can't hide anything from you, Brother Qinghu!" After a pause, he said: "I am very happy to see me, saying that my uncle has let people know him, and asked him to send people to pay attention to our movements around the surrendered city, and if he finds out, he will immediately report to his uncle, and his uncle will personally bring someone to pick us up and return to the clan!"

Qinghu pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Did you have a sad expression when you saw you, or did he say something like making you mourn?" and why didn't he say let you go to the stronghold, which is the safest place now. ”

"No, alas, it doesn't seem right after you reminded him like this, he was just very happy, but Tuotai is one of my father's brothers with a different surname, and he should ...... me first when he sees me" Shi Chong obviously thought of something strange.

"Do you suspect that the traitor in the clan who colluded with Ashina is your uncle Wanyan Shou?" asked Qinghu again.

Shi Chong's chest rose and fell strongly, and after a while, he calmed down. He said in a deep voice: "Yes, even you, an outsider, doubt him, let alone me, although this is an extremely cruel fact, I have always had illusions, because he is my most beloved uncle, but after my father dies, if I have another accident, that uncle will ascend to the position of patriarch in a bright light!"

Then he said: "Afterwards, I remembered that my sister and I didn't have to go with our parents, but my uncle privately encouraged my sister and me to beg my father to take us on a journey. ”

Qinghu sighed and said: "Although our situation is very dangerous now, as long as we have been in the surrendered city, the enemy should be safe if we do not send a master above the Divine Mirror, if we go out of the city, whether it is to the grassland or to Wuzhou, there will be killers waiting for us! Relatively speaking, it is better to go to Wuzhou, in this direction, the strength of the enemy's mobilization will be greatly affected! If we plan well, it is not impossible to break through." ”

After a pause, Qinghu said suspiciously: "But why did Totai let you come back, since you threw yourself into the net, with their strength, they can capture or kill you without alarming the city guards!"

Shi Chong said indignantly: "Brother, you don't know, if it is with my current strength, they can do it completely, but my royal clan of the Qi clan has a special ability, that is, madness, once it becomes crazy, it will burst out with a strength far beyond its own cultivation, and Tuotai knows that I have this ability, so I don't dare to move lightly, it seems that they don't want to give up this stronghold yet!"

Qinghu's eyes shot a light of wisdom, and said categorically: "I'm sure that someone will come to kill us tonight, and it's the people of the Demon Gate! Last night, they must not have figured out our hole cards, and they didn't dare to act rashly.

Shi Chong's face showed a look of reminiscence, and he said sadly: "I did ask, alas, uncle, my father is not thin on you, how can you be so ruthless?"

Qinghu walked over and hugged him, and said calmly: "Brother Shi Chong, you must cheer up, since the time when Yan Shou ordered to kill your father and aunt, he is no longer your uncle, he is your enemy, you must not let his conspiracy succeed, once such a person becomes the patriarch, he will definitely lead your people into the abyss." ”

Shi Chong shook his head and said fiercely: "Tonight is the time for the final verification, if it is as you said, then from now on, Wan Yan Shou will be my Wan Yan Chong's enemy, and I will cut off his head with my own hands." At this moment, Shi Chong completely regained his previous calm.

Qinghu stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, came to the window, turned his back and said: "Their first target is Sister Shi Rou, and before you came back, I observed the situation outside from the window and found many suspicious people, if the guess is right, the enemy already knows our truth and reality, but we don't know anything about the enemy." ”

At this time, Shi Rou interjected: "Big brother, Brother Tiger, I think that Tuotai deliberately exposed flaws, with the shrewdness of Tuotai, what we can think of, he can definitely think of, so he deliberately exposed his flaws and startled the snake!"

Shi Chong continued: "Yes, my sister's analysis is very reasonable, Tatai has been stationed in the surrendered city for many years, is calculating, old and sophisticated, it should not be so obvious to show the horse's feet, the only explanation is to deliberately expose the flaws, let us panic, immediately set off, and leave the surrendered city!"

"This old fox, I didn't expect that there were such cunning people on the grassland, at first I had the impression that the people of the grassland were straightforward!" Qinghu said.

"Hahahaha, brother, in terms of cunning and shrewdness, most of the grassland people are not as good as the Central Plains people, and we are constantly learning from the Central Plains Dynasty, otherwise we would have been wiped out a long time ago, in terms of force, you Central Plains people are definitely not as good as the grassland people, but there are too many capable people in the Central Plains, and sometimes a strategy can be worth 100,000 elite soldiers!"

"Your brother is very treacherous, unlike the prairie people, Sister Shi Rou is much simpler, I still like Sister Shi Rou. After saying that, Qinghu regretted it, and sure enough, a touch of red appeared on Shi Rou's cheeks, which was very moving, and Shi Chong's face showed a helpless and worried look.

Qinghu hurriedly diverted the topic and said: "For example, if we set off now, mixed in the crowd out of the city, how can the enemy find us, the horse thief who chased and killed you yesterday went straight to your hiding place, there must be a very clever tracking technique, if we can figure out what the enemy is tracking us, it will be greatly conducive to our escape!"

Shi Chong's face became heavy, and he said: "When it comes to the art of tracking, I'm afraid there is no Eagle General in the world, the Eagle General is not a person, but a mysterious organization directly belonging to the Great Khan of Beihuan, specializing in the art of tracking, once they are targeted, there is no escape from the ends of the earth." ”

Qinghu said: "Since I can't escape, then there is only war, I have a hunch, I can break through to the self realm in the next few days, and at that time, the ordinary self realm can only come to sharpen my knife!"

Shi Chong was overjoyed and said: "I am also about to break through, why don't we brake with static, wait until the breakthrough is over, and fight with them!" The only problem is ......."

Shi Rou said: "Big brother, don't worry about me for the past two days, calm down, I suddenly have a lot of things in my mind, as if someone is calling me, and there has always been a voice in my heart 'wake up', 'wake up'!"

Shi Chong and Qinghu glanced at each other, and both of them felt a strange feeling, could it be that the previous national teachers on the grassland could really be inherited, and it was so amazing.

Qinghu said: "Sister Shi Rou, you try to punch me with your whole body strength!" Shi Rou was a little embarrassed: "Beat you, people don't want to beat you." "Come on, it's okay, I'm copper-skinned and iron-clad, you can't hurt me!"

Shi Rou smiled and said, "Okay, I'll meet your request, hehe!" After saying this, Shi Rou struck with a light punch, but when he was a foot away from Qinghu, suddenly Shi Rou's eyes shot an incomparably cold light, and Qinghu felt as if he had become an ant at the feet of the goddess.

Qinghu took a few steps back before stopping, his back slammed into the wall, Shi Rou's fist fluttered lightly as if there was no trace of strength, but as soon as the fist touched the body, Qinghu felt that his body was injected with vitality, and the Taiyin qi in his body was like the cold ice meeting the spring sun, all melted into spring water, but the spring water suddenly began to rush, and the true qi in the body rushed around, if it were not for the operation of the Great Dream Heart Sutra, the true qi of the inner body was calmed, only this punch, Qinghu would be injured.
