Chapter 271: An Inexplicable Letter
Qi Tian furrowed his brows and turned his eyes around, "What about the dozen or so people?"
"I've sent out clues to find Miss. Uncle Nine said.
Qi Tian was stunned, "How do you know?"
The letter he wrote to Uncle Nine only asked him to send two hundred brothers to support him, and did not say what exactly happened.
He didn't want to worry his brothers and family in Yunhai City.
Uncle Jiu was puzzled: "Didn't the boss send someone to inform him to immediately bring troops to the imperial capital to rescue you?" The letter also said that Li Jiaomei gave birth to a daughter for the boss, and now she has been kidnapped by Xie Jin, and her whereabouts are unknown. ”
Qi Tian was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Who notified you?"
Uncle Nine hesitated slightly, "The old man didn't see that person, he just handed the letter to the soldiers of the City Captain's Mansion and left." ”
"Hmm, left, did Qi Men's brother come to Yunhai City to inform you?" Qi Tian asked with a frown.
Uncle Nine shook his head, "No." ”
He saw that something was wrong with Qi Tian, and hurriedly asked, "Boss, is there anything wrong with this?"
Qi Tian sighed, "I asked three Qi brothers to send you a letter, but it is estimated that only one person can arrive, and the letter only asks you to send two hundred brothers to support, and nothing else is said." ”
Uncle Nine was surprised, "What's going on?"
Qi Tian pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out who was secretly delivering the letter for him, and what did this person want to do with so much information?
"It seems that the last Qimen brother also died on the way. Leave that alone, how many people did you bring with you this time?"
"This time, I brought 20,000 people, 5,000 soldiers of the Fourth Legion, led by An Lushan himself, stationed in the woods in the south, as well as the First and Second Legions, a total of 10,000 people, led by Xiao Xiaobing, stationed in the jungle in the west, and 5,000 Qimen Legions, which are preparing to enter the city. Uncle Nine said.
"What! so many people?" Qi Tian said in surprise.
"Boss, the letter said that you were besieged in the imperial capital city and could not evacuate, and the guards of the imperial capital city cut off the correspondence with Yunhai City, so this time the troops came to prepare for the siege, and An Lushan and Xiao Xiaobing both brought siege equipment. ”
Qi Tian frowned, and said secretly in his heart, "It seems that this messenger is by no means just to tell Uncle Nine to help him, there is a bigger conspiracy in it. ’
"How is the arrangement at home now?"
"Boss, rest assured, the old man of Yunhai City's political affairs will be handed over to Liu Fei to take over temporarily, the military is Sun Kui, and Qimen Mountain is Long Wu, before leaving, the old man also specially explained that if someone takes the opportunity to sneak attack Yunhai City, everyone can only defend, and must not go out of the city to face the battle, until our squad returns to the city. ”
Qi Tian put his mind at ease, he was afraid that this was the enemy's ploy to divert the tiger away from the mountain!
"Boss, this time the army is in a hurry, and the march is hidden, and we don't bring a lot of baggage, we may have to fight quickly. Uncle Nine reminded.
Qi Tian nodded, "What I'm most worried about now is Qi Nian, and now she's in Xie Jin's hands." ”
Uncle Jiu's slender eyes turned slightly, "Boss don't worry too much, although there are many farmers in this city, there are not many nurses with milk, more than a dozen brothers will find it soon." ”
He paused in his tone, "The old man is most worried about Xie Jin now, this old man knows very well, back then, as the first military of the Changyang Legion, I was framed by his dirty methods because I didn't obey his orders, and finally ended up on the streets and became a beggar."
Now that the boss and his hatred have been put on the surface, he will definitely try his best, even to deal with the boss in every possible way. ”
Qi Tian nodded, agreeing with Uncle Jiu's words.
It is said that the disaster will not be good for his wife and children, but in order to blackmail himself, Xie Jin actually attacked his mansion, and even wanted to kidnap his children and wife, the means are really despicable and shameless, even inferior to beasts.
He often felt that he was bad enough, but in front of Xie Jin, he was as kind as a woman.
"What can you do?"
Uncle Nine thought for a while, "The assassination has to be done like an accident." ”
Qi Tian shook his head, "Bingfeng once tried to assassinate, but it didn't work. ”
Uncle Nine smiled slightly, "You don't have to use a knife to assassinate. ”
Qi Tian raised his eyebrows and looked at Uncle Jiu's smiling old face.
I saw Uncle Nine take out a bottle of medicine from his arms, "I set up an assassination agency in the City Governor's Mansion, and there is a department in it that specializes in the research and development of all kinds of poisons for accidental death, this is the latest research and development results, colorless and tasteless, the same as water, after a person drinks it, the heart will beat rapidly, and finally die suddenly."
And the drug will have an hour's onset of time, which was also designed to give the assassin enough time to escape. ”
Qi Tian looked at Uncle Nine appreciatively, it seemed that during the time he left Yunhai City, Uncle Nine had done a lot of work.
"But how do you get Xie Jin to drink this bottle of medicine?"
"Click. ”
The door of the house was pushed open, and I saw the woman who had just put on Qi Tian's makeup and the two Qi men brothers walking in.
Uncle Nine smiled "hehe", "Boss, let me introduce to you, this girl's name is Ah Yan, she is an orphan, after wandering to Yunhai City, she was admitted to the assassination agency by me, specializing in learning makeup, and now her makeup skills are very superb." ”
He looked at Ah Yan, "Why don't you come over and meet the boss!"
Ah Yan and the two Qimen guards immediately knelt in front of Qi Tian, "Meet the boss!"
Qi Tian only took a closer look at this time, although Ah Yan was young, her appearance was not outstanding, and she even had a bit of a public face.
"Get up, don't be formal. ”
Uncle Nine smiled "hehe", "Boss, it depends on Ah Yan to assassinate Xie Jin." ”
"She?" Qi Tian wondered.
Uncle Nine nodded, "Ah Yan's makeup skills are very good, people who look completely different can become the same person!"
Qi Tian's eyes lit up, "I understand." ”
Uncle Nine smiled "hehe", his expression was how treacherous and cunning he was!
Subsequently, Uncle Nine reported to Qi Tian what had happened in Yunhai City at these times.
Before you know it, it's night.
A bonfire was lit in the small courtyard of the house, and for dinner a Qimen brother went out to buy a few whole sheep.
And eight of the ten people sent out by Uncle Nine have returned, and those two have not come back for a long time.
As more and more brothers returned, Qi Tian's heart became more and more desperate, because there was no news of Qi Nian yet.
When the last two Qimen brothers returned, he felt a deep sense of sadness...
He thought of Qi Nian's cute little face, and as long as he hugged her, she always smiled at him.
"Boss, let's eat something first, Miss will be fine. Uncle Nine handed Qi Tian a piece of roasted mutton.
Qi Tian sighed and took the mutton, but he ate the meat into his mouth and felt that it was tasteless.
Uncle Nine looked at Qi Tian's expression and knew that the boss was worried about Qi Nian.
Qi Tian originally wanted Uncle Nine to send a few people to the temple to inform Lin Guodong to come here, but a Qi brother said that he had met Lin Guodong and told him that he had changed to a new base.
When it was already midnight, the door outside the house was slammed open, and Lin Guodong stood at the door breathlessly, and then shouted: "Old... Boss, Miss has found it!"
Qi Tian's eyes widened, he directly threw away the mutton in his hand, and walked quickly in front of him, "Slow down, where is she now?"
"It's in a house to the east of the city, which is guarded by a large number of guards. It took Lin Guodong a long time to calm down.
Qi Tian immediately became happy, but soon he calmed down again, feeling that this matter was a bit simple.
"How did you find Qi Nian's whereabouts?"
"In a peasant family in the south of the city, they said that an officer paid a lot of money to ask his mother-in-law to breastfeed, and he didn't want to let his mother-in-law go, because there was a baby who had just made a noise, but the other party offered ten silver coins a day, and threatened to kill his whole family if he didn't go, so the farmer had to let his mother-in-law go. ”
Lin Guodong walked into the private house and closed the door.
"It's that simple?" Qi Tian wondered.
"No, the officer didn't let the wet nurse go home and had to take care of the baby girl all day, but the peasant family also had babies to feed, and after all kinds of begging, the officer asked the wet nurse to go back once a day, and specially told her not to tell anyone about it.
At dinner, after the nurse had finished feeding the baby, I quietly followed her, and finally found the position of the young lady. Lin Guodong continued.
"That shouldn't be wrong. Qi Tian nodded.
"How many guards are there over there?" asked Uncle Jiu.
Lin Guodong thought for a while, "There are about three hundred, maybe more in the courtyard." ”
"Boss, we can lure the soldiers outside out of the way and kill them in. Uncle Nine suggested.
Qi Tian shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, they finally tied up Qi Nian, there must be more guards in the courtyard, and once it drags on for a long time, there will be other guards to come to reinforce it." ”
"Bell, bell, bell!" came a knock at the door.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, except for the ice peak, all of them are here, who is coming so party?
Qi Tian glanced at Lin Guodong, motioned for him to open the door, and then took out the long stick on his waist.
The other Qimen guards also drew their weapons and looked at the gate warily.
"Zra. The wooden door was opened.
When Lin Guodong saw the people outside, his expression was suddenly stunned, "Who are you?"
"You don't care what I am, I'm here to find Master Qi. A female voice came.
Lin Guodong looked left and right, and there was no one except for an ordinary carriage outside the door.
He just wanted to continue asking, but Qi Tian's voice came from behind him: "Guodong, let her in, I know her." ”
Lin Guodong stepped out of the way and let the woman in.
"Master Qi, we meet again. The visitor laughed.
Qi Tian smiled slightly and looked at a chair in front of him, "Sit down." ”
This woman is the same woman who asked him to meet with Princess Celestia before.
The woman sat directly in the chair, "This letter was handed over to you by the master." ”
She took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Qi Tian.
Qi Tian took the letter and opened it.
When he saw the contents inside, his expression was a little complicated, and his eyes swept to the dozen or so Qimen brothers in the room.
"How did Princess Celestia know I was here?"
"I don't know about this, the little girl is just following the orders of Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess. ”
Qi Tian nodded, "Okay, I believe I've read it too, is there anything else?"
The palace maid shook her head, "No, then the maid will retire." ”
After the palace maid left, Uncle Nine asked curiously, "Boss, what did you say in the letter?"
Qi Tian handed the letter to Uncle Nine.
Uncle Nine took the letter and read it, his expression gradually became gloomy, and his eyes also looked at the dozen or so Qimen guards around.
"Since someone helped me save Qi Nian, let's deal with Xie Jin first, according to the address on the letter, let's go." Qi Tian said.
Uncle Nine hesitated for a while, nodded, and then put the letter in his arms.
Qi Tian took Uncle Nine and more than a dozen Qimen guards to the door of an ordinary house in the east of the city.
"Boss, according to the address on the letter, it should be here. Uncle Nine said in a low voice.
Qi Tian glanced at the low wall, "Guodong, you take two people in." ”
Lin Guodong didn't say a word, turned over and entered the courtyard directly, and then quickly opened the door.
Qi Tian walked into the courtyard, and there were three side rooms inside.
Qi Tian waved his hand to the Qi Gate guard behind him, "Don't hurt the people inside, just control it." ”
Lin Guodong nodded, and then divided the dozen or so Qimen guards into three teams and walked towards the three wings.
The Qimen guards moved very quickly, and it didn't take long to restrain all the people inside, and candles lit up in the wings.
"Bring them out. Uncle Nine shouted.
Next, three men and three women were tied up and escorted out.
The three men were naked, wearing a pair of underwear, and the three women were wearing a coat, and they looked at the dozen strangers in front of them in horror.
One of the older men, who seemed to have seen some big scenes, had the courage to say, "Your Excellency has tied up the wrong person, we don't seem to know each other. ”
Qi Tian looked at him and slowly spoke: "You are Sun Shuo?"
The man was stunned, "You know me?"
Qi Tian looked at the young man next to him who was about the same size as himself, "Are you Liu Yida?"
The young man was also stunned, and looked at Qi Tian suspiciously.
Qi Tian looked at another person with a slightly stronger body, "Are you Cheng Fei?"
Sun Shuo is the eldest brother of these three people, Liu Yida and Cheng Fei are usually mixed with him, he asked: "Since Your Excellency knows us, you must have come prepared, I don't know where our three brothers offended Your Excellency in the past, I will admit my mistake to you for them." ”
Qi Tian chuckled, "You didn't offend me, but you were unlucky and were taken by some big people." ”
The three of them were stunned, and some didn't understand Qi Tian's words.
"The three of you are guards, and you are responsible for the security of Xie Mansion on weekdays, right?" Qi Tian asked.
The three of them glanced at each other, and they probably knew what Qi Tian was looking for them.
Sun Shuo slowly spoke: "You want to fight Xie Fu's idea?"
Qi Tian looked at him, "You're not stupid. ”
Sun Shuo also stared at Qi Tian at this time, "You are Qi Tian, right?"
Qi Tian smiled, "You still know me?"
Sun Shuo smiled bitterly, "There are many people who want to deal with Lord Xie, but if you really dare to deal with Lord Xie's move, you will know Lord Qi." ”
Qi Tian didn't continue the topic, and instead asked, "What class are you going to be tomorrow?"
