Chapter 43 The Man Goes to the Empty House

After Wei Qing and Cao Lu escaped from the Four Sacred Temple, they went into an uninhabited alley and took off their night clothes, and then swaggered up the street to Qin Hui's house. When the two rushed to Qin Hui's house, Qin Hui and Xiao Qinchuan hadn't come back yet, and they didn't wait until the second half of the night to see Qin Hui hurrying back with Xiao Qinchuan from outside.

"Brother Hui, my senior brother ...... tonight" Wei Qing was about to tell Qin Hui about the experience of this night visit, but Qin Hui didn't wait for him to finish, so he reached out to support his shoulder and looked up and down, and asked with concern: "You guys have a good trip, but if you are injured, if you have injuries, you will go to the treatment first, and it is not too late to talk slowly."

"Thank you Brother Hui for asking, we're both fine", Wei Qing saw that Qin Hui didn't ask about the outcome of the matter, and first asked whether he was injured or not, and his heart couldn't help but warm, so he continued his previous words and told him in detail about what happened tonight. After listening to Qin Hui's meditation for a while, he said: "It seems that this Guo Jing is really harboring evil intentions and other schemes, and there are even accomplices who practice martial arts around him, but unfortunately he can't find out his overall plan in detail, but it doesn't matter, since you have already met with several of his accomplices, I think the other party will take action within these two days, as long as you keep an eye on these minions of his, continue to spy secretly, they will show their feet."

"Don't worry, my senior brother will go and dig them out tomorrow and keep an eye on them, and I will never give them a chance to make trouble in the city", Wei Qing agreed in a loud voice, and said with concern, "Brother Hui, what is the situation over there, then Wan Kuan can confess?"

"That guy is a muddy man, and he is still confused, and he can't figure out what's going on," Xiao Qinchuan replied first, "But there was something strange in his words, he said that he was originally a cavalry of Qianliao, and after the gold was reduced, he was assigned to the signing barracks as a captain, but yesterday he was suddenly transferred to the 'Hegu Meng'an' pro-military camp, and the battalion officer also specially rewarded him with a sumptuous breakfast, and after he finished breakfast, he was sent to patrol near Xuanhuamen with several Zhenyi cavalry." On the way, he gradually began to feel hot and dizzy, and by the time he reached Xuanhuamen, he was already delirious, and when he woke up, he had already been arrested and taken to the city."

"This is strange, then Guo Jing only started casting spells before they arrived at Xuanhua Gate, but this Wan Kuan said that he began to lose his mind on the way here, and Guo Jing had not started casting spells at that time", Wei Qing touched his chin and thought about it, "From this point of view, the hands and feet should have been done when Wan Kuan was still in the golden camp."

"Brother Hui and I also guessed like this", Xiao Qinchuan smiled and said, "During the Wei and Jin dynasties, there was a lot of practice among scholars who took Wushisan, and it is said that after taking it, the symptoms were quite similar to Wankuan, so we found silver needles to prick his saliva and blood, and the silver needles really turned black, which is due to the fact that Wushisan contains arsenic, mercury and sulfur, etc., so this Wankuan is not a Bishamen Heavenly King Law, but someone has put Wushisan in the diet."

Wei Qing applauded and smiled: "This is great, since we have seen through the hands and feet, the brother of the Hui only needs to directly tell His Majesty and expose Guo Jing's deception and everything will be fine."

"I'm afraid it's not so easy, this is an isolated evidence, and there is no other corroborating evidence to interlock, as long as Guo Jing bites to death and refuses to admit it, he can also falsely say that it was the five stones that we gave Wan Kuan later", Qin Hui shook his head and said, "I still have to keep an eye on Guo Jing and his accomplices, dig up some more evidence, and then report it to His Majesty for judgment."

After Wei Qing and Xiao Qinchuan glanced at each other, they clasped their fists together and said, "Tomorrow we will keep an eye on this group of people, and if they have the slightest movement, we will report back immediately."

After the discussion, Wei Qing and the three of them said goodbye and left, and as soon as they walked to the front yard, they saw Li Rui standing quietly in the courtyard with his back to the lobby. Xiao Qinchuan coughed lightly, took a few steps forward and approached and said, "Miss Li hasn't slept so late, but you have to be careful of the night cold invasion of the body, if you get caught the wind cold, it will not be good."

"Although I grew up in Liangzhejiang since I was a child, I have been in Beijing for several years, and I have long been accustomed to the winter climate of the Central Plains, but the three of them are worried about national affairs, so they should be more careful to take care", Li Rui turned around and replied, she seemed to inadvertently glance at Wei Qing, who fell behind Xiao Qinchuan, and finally stopped her gaze on Wei Qing's waist, a flash of joy flashed in her eyes, and continued: "The sachet given by Rui'er, has Brother Wei always carried it?"

Xiao Qinchuan was stunned when he heard this, and looked back at Wei Qing sideways, Wei Qing embarrassedly reached out and touched the sachet on his waist and replied, "Uh...... Yes, I've always carried it", in fact, Wei Qing didn't like to wear decorative things, but since Zhou Peng told him the value of this sachet, and it was very beneficial for him to cultivate internal strength, he naturally carried it with him from time to time, but this little thought could not be said to Li Rui.

Li Rui smiled and said goodbye, "It's too late, Rui'er is not good to chat and delay you, only pray sincerely to heaven every day, I wish you peace", she got up and went back to the backyard after she finished speaking. Xiao Qinchuan stared at Li Rui's back video, then looked at the sachet on Wei Qing's waist, and walked out without saying a word.

The next morning, after Wei Qing called Cao Luhui and Xiao Qinchuan, they came to Xuanhuamen together, and from time to time on the road saw people shouting and shouting rewards, recruiting people to go to Guo Jing to be the so-called Liujia Divine Soldiers. Although the recruiters also repeatedly claimed that with the support of Guo Shenxian, the Liujia soldiers could be invulnerable in the face of the Jin army, but most people were still worried about the danger of the soldiers, although there were many onlookers, but few children of good families were willing to apply, and the responses were some street ruffians who were greedy for money.

Seeing this, Cao Lu shook his head and smiled: "This is simply joking about the war, the newly recruited soldiers don't practice marching, and they won't even stand in the army. Wei Qing and Xiao Qinchuan also shook their heads and smiled bitterly, wondering if there would be a few of these greedy people who would be able to escape and come back in three days.

The three of them didn't care about any more compassion and compassion, and immediately went straight to the Xuanhua Gate, but when they arrived at the Xuanhua Gate, they didn't see Guo Jing appear, and asked the soldiers who guarded the city to know that Guo Jing handed over the recruitment of soldiers to a few apprentices and believers around him to do, but he himself stayed in the Four Holy Temples to prepare for the Liujia Law in three days, and he would not come to the city in these two days.

Wei Qing grabbed Xiao Qinchuan and Cao Lu to discuss: "This must have been the incident last night that shocked Guo Jing, he was afraid of revealing more flaws, so he no longer came forward openly, and only sent some accomplices out to do things, and most of these accomplices are Ah Er and others who I saw last night, if you want to open up the situation as soon as possible, you still have to find out Ah Er and a few of them as soon as possible."

Xiao Qinchuan and Cao Lu both agreed with Wei Qing's idea, and the three of them returned to the street to look for Ah Er and a few others, but when they searched all the recruiting offices in the city, they did not find any trace of Ah Er and others. The three of them were greatly puzzled, and they all wondered: "Could it be that Guo Jing is too guarded, and he even finds some random people to handle all the matters he has prepared in the early stage, but his henchmen are all hidden?"

Xiao Qinchuan said: "Let's just separate the three of us, one of us stares at a person who recruits troops on the street, after they finish recruiting, they will eventually go to Guo Jing or his cronies to hand over the errand, otherwise how can Guo Jing control these newly recruited people, and how can he cooperate with the Jin army outside the city."

Wei Qing and Cao Lu both nodded and said yes, and the three of them went their separate ways, Wei Qing chose a recruiting office on the street of the goods store outside Jinglongmen, and the person in charge of recruiting was a middle-aged strong man with a big beard on his face. This bearded man shouted very hard, boasting that Guo Jing's mana was boundless, saying that he was selected to be selected into the Liujia Formation as a divine soldier to get Guo Jing to invite Xuanwu Zhenjun from the sky to cast spells and protect the body, and after going into battle, he could be invulnerable, and going out of the city to cut off the heads of a few golden soldiers and come back to receive the reward was like playing, it was easier than killing pigs at home during the New Year, and it was as if it was pure stupidity not to respond to Guo Shenxian's recruitment, and it was a truth to drop money from the sky but not to pick it up, and the people who were watching were stunned when they heard it.

By the end of the evening, the bearded man had recruited more than 800 people, and seeing that the onlookers had gone home for dinner, he left unsatisfied, Wei Qing hurriedly followed him quietly, and followed him all the way not far to see where he was going to deliver the errand. The bearded man first found a food shop in the city to eat some noodles, and then went straight to Xincaomen, next to the city wall around the city, before turning to a remote house at the end of East Yulin Lane, looking at the door for a while, before knocking on the door and dodging in. Wei Qing didn't know the situation inside, so he didn't dare to touch it in by himself, and after checking out that there was a house facing the street in another alley right behind this place, and there would never be a back door, so he hid and guarded the door. After a while, Xiao Qinchuan and Cao Lu also followed one person to this place, and after the three of them discussed with each other, they decided to continue to stay outside the door and wait for the people inside to come out, and then continue to follow after seeing the number of people and the appearance of these people.

The three of them waited left and right outside, until the moon hung in the middle of the sky and it was completely dark, and they didn't see half a person coming out of it, Cao Lu waited frizzy, so he volunteered to venture in to investigate, Wei Qing and Xiao Qinchuan also felt that things were different, so they both nodded and agreed. Cao Lu climbed over the wall from the side of the house, but after a cup of tea, he saw him swaggering open the door from the inside, beckoning outward, and shouting: "Come in, no one is gone, and they have all run away."

Wei Qing was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he had clearly seen the structure and location of this place before, and determined that there was no back door, could it be that the people in the house could still fly with wings, and when he and Xiao Qinchuan entered the house together, they rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and they were stunned that they didn't find half of the living creatures out. Just when the three of them looked at each other in the house, Cao Lu suddenly said "Huh": "The wall behind this cabinet seems to be a little wrong."
