Chapter 30 Changes
Qi Xuansu did not risk climbing over the city wall again. Instead, he waited outside the city until the city gate opened and entered the city with the people waiting in line.
A shocking incident last night completely disrupted Qi Xuansu's plan. Although it was satisfying to kill Uncle Feng, he had to consider the aftermath.
Bai Xiaojin was the only one who knew about his encounter with Uncle Feng. If Bai Xiaojin has been saved, then he will have to explain Feng Bo's death. If Bai Xiaojin has not been rescued, no one will guess that Feng Bo's death is related to him for the time being.
Of course he could return to his original appearance, restore Qi Xuansu's identity, and fight to the death. But in this way, not only was a piece of credit lost, but "Feiying", "Qingyuan" and various firearms were also difficult to explain.
Thinking of firearms, Qi Xuansu remembered that he had used up all the "Phoenix Eyes" he carried last night, and also used two rounds of "Long Eyes Yiyi". He could only return to the Taiping Inn first and take the last three "Phoenix Eyes" with him. "Phoenix Eyes Yi Er" and "Phoenix Eyes Yi Yi", "Phoenix Eyes A Nine" have been used up.
Qi Xuansu returned to Taiping Inn with his front legs, and Zhang Yuelu arrived with his back legs.
Qi Xuansu had no time to wash up and change clothes, so he could only meet Zhang Yuelu like this.
Zhang Yuelu originally planned to inform Qi Xuansu of Bai Yingqiong's attitude, but he did not expect that Qi Xuansu was covered in dust and blood, and it seemed that he had just experienced a fight.
"Did people from the 'Tianting' attack you? Are you okay?" Zhang Yuelu ignored Bai Yingqiong's affairs for the time being and focused on Qi Xuansu first.
Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment, and then roughly told what happened yesterday, but he hid the part about killing Feng Bo in the end. He only said that Feng Bo met his enemy, and they fought before he escaped by chance. As for who this enemy was, he didn't know. It was too dark at that time, and the two heavenly beings were fighting fiercely in the sky. He was so focused on running for his life that he really didn't see clearly who was facing Uncle Feng.
Zhang Yuelu didn't care about Feng Bo's so-called rival and just said: "As long as you're fine."
Qi Xuansu was moved and didn't know what to say, so he changed the subject: "How are you doing over there?"
"Don't be busy now. I'll get you a basin of hot water. You can freshen up and change your clothes." Zhang Yuelu stood up, took the basin and walked out.
Not long after, Zhang Yuelu came back with a basin of hot water in his hand.
Qi Xuansu was a little embarrassed to change clothes in front of Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Yuelu said: "You can't ask me to help you change, can you?"
Qi Xuansu did not dare to think so, so he took off his outer robe, wearing only his middle coat, and went to the basin to wash his hands and face.
Zhang Yuelu then said: "The situation is very clear. Because Bai Xiaojin was kidnapped, that's why my senior sister's attitude is so ambiguous. Everything can be explained."
"The key now is, where did Bai Xiaojin go? If she falls into the hands of Tianting again, it will be difficult for us to find her." "But Ye Xiu and the dungeons you mentioned are all monks who can escape. You can't escape from the temple, especially the dungeon, which should be located in a certain courtyard. You can directly order a strict investigation and there should be some clues. "
"By the way, yesterday I found Marshal Feng of the Heavenly Court in the city, the heavenly man who killed Yuan Shangdao. We met him. He is now hiding in the Mary Cathedral near Shangyuan Gate. Lei The real person has ordered the Cathedral of Mary to be surrounded, but since this matter involves the Holy Court, the nature of the matter has become complicated, and there is also a cardinal deacon in the cathedral. Although Marshal Feng can't get out, we can't get in, that's it. Deadlocked."
After Qi Xuansu washed his face, Zhang Yuelu handed the face towel into his hand and asked, "What do you think?"
"The situation has become complicated." Qi Xuansu wiped his face, "If the commotion continues like this, it will be good if there is substantial progress in the case. If there is no substantial progress, we will soon enter the second stage mentioned by Master Lei. The emergence of critical voices is very detrimental to us.”
Zhang Yuelu said: "Risks and opportunities have always coexisted. It is true that the situation has become complicated now, but this change is beyond their expectations. Instead, it gives us an opportunity. As long as we can seize this opportunity, we don't even have to go." Take care of the person who is secretly muddying the waters and get to the point."
Qi Xuansu did not deny Zhang Yuelu's statement: "The key is to grasp it."
Zhang Yuelu said: "On the side of Mary Cathedral, it depends on how Jin Que communicates with the cardinals of the Holy Court. It cannot be moved for the time being. However, there is indeed something fishy on Ye Xiu's side, which is the key."
Qi Xuansu asked: "I plan to meet Ye Xiu, do you want to go with me?"
"By the way, what excuse did you use to see Ye Xiu yesterday?" Zhang Yuelu asked curiously.
Qi Xuansu said: "I asked him to help me check someone out."
"Who?" Zhang Yuelu asked.
Qi Xuansu said: "Qi Xuansu, the fifth-rank Taoist priest of Ziweitang."
Zhang Yuelu was startled, but then he figured out Qi Xuansu's intention, and couldn't help but smile: "It's really yours."
While talking, Qi Xuansu had already changed into a clean Taoist robe and put on his swords and firearms.
Qi Xuansu asked again: "Do you want to go together?"
Zhang Yuelu only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay."
She added: "It's not that I have to go there, it's just that Bai Xiaojin has been rescued, and the situation at Ye Xiu's side may change. I'll go there with you. If something unexpected happens, there will be someone to take care of her."
For some reason, Qi Xuansu always felt that Zhang Yuelu's words were trying to hide something, but he didn't point it out: "This is natural."
The two left the Taiping Inn and walked together to the city within the city where Ye Xiu was.
Qi Xuansu was not here for the first time, so he was familiar with the route, but Zhang Yuelu was here for the first time in this city within a city, so she was quite touched.
Soon, the two came to Ye Xiu's mansion. The concierge was dissatisfied with Qi Xuansu for bringing one more person, but after Qi Xuansu gave him ten peace coins, he said nothing more.
It was still the same process. Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu waited for half an hour before they met Ye Xiu.
The beggar king's eyes were red, and he could not hide his fatigue. He must have not slept all night, and he was no longer as calm as the last time they met. This was also reasonable. With such a big thing happening, how could he sleep and be calm.
"I said, three days is the limit. It's only been one day, aren't you too impatient?" Ye Xiu's tone was a little impatient.
Qi Xuansu's original intention was to test Ye Xiu, but now it was meaningless to test him again. Ye Xiu must have a problem, so on the way here, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu briefly discussed and felt that they could try to arrest Ye Xiu directly.
Because the two of them were on impulse, Ye Xiu must not have received the news in advance.
Zhang Yuelu also analyzed Ye Xiu's mentality. Bai Xiaojin was not rescued by Ye Xiu, and Ye Xiu did not know that Qi Xuansu followed the carriage from him to the dungeon in the old city, so Ye Xiu must have had a fluke mentality. In addition, his family was big and he had been operating here for many years. It was inevitable that he would not give up, and it was almost impossible for him to escape directly. Not to mention that Ye Xiu might be used by others without knowing it.
Now it seems that Zhang Yuelu's expectations are all right.
Ye Xiu did not escape, and even did not hide.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu looked at each other and said, "Three days? I'm afraid that there will be no such person as the Beggar King in Jinling Mansion after three days, so I have to come here in advance."
Ye Xiu's face changed slightly: "What do you mean?"
Qi Xuansu said: "A dignified second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest of the Taoist sect, the chief deputy lord of the Jiangnan Dao Mansion, this is not a small person who can be bullied by anyone. You dare to hit the daughter of Master Bai, do you still want to gain a foothold in Jinling Mansion?"
Ye Xiu's face changed suddenly.
Seeing his expression, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu have already concluded that Ye Xiu knew about it, and they can rule out the possibility that he was unaware and was being used by others.
Since Ye Xiu knew about it, the two of them will take action to arrest him.
Zhang Yuelu didn't want to reveal her identity, so she didn't use the "Nu Xiang Paper", but moved the "Five Qi Yanluo" to her hand and grabbed Ye Xiu directly.
Her hand skills are not weak. At the beginning, Xu Kou, a warrior, was twisted by her.
Ye Xiu can become the Beggar King, and his strength is quite good. Although he is not a celestial being, he is not far away. Facing Zhang Yuelu's grab, he was shocked but not confused. He swept his body back and was about to retreat.
However, Qi Xuansu had been prepared and had blocked Ye Xiu's retreat, using the "River Power" of "Dan Tai Fist Intention".
Ye Xiu could only fight one against two, and let out a sharp and fierce whistle, intending to alarm the subordinates outside.
