Qiu really followed her words and asked seriously: "How dangerous is that?"
Zheng Quchi choked immediately.
There was a traitor like her hidden inside, and she sold them after changing hands, so it was indeed... quite dangerous.
"Where were you then?" He searched carefully for the emotion in her eyes.
Zheng Quchi came to his senses and quickly explained for himself: "After I assassinated Yuan and Yin Xiao, Shan Bian and the others planned to blow up the city wall. You also know that Master Qu didn't trust me, so he didn't call me on this matter. , Who would have thought that when I found out that I couldn't contact them, I found out that Qu Shi and Dan Bian failed their mission and were all captured by Yu Wensheng."
Speaking of this, she wiped her face and sighed sadly: "Who is Yu Wensheng? Living Yama, come to think of it, they must be in danger."
Qiu quietly looked at her pretentious expression for a while, then said: "They are not nice to you, you don't have to pretend to be worried."
Zheng Quchi's playful expression froze on his face.
...What kind of truth is he telling?
Seeing that she could no longer be fooled, she shrugged her shoulders and said, "Yes, they were caught. I'm not worried at all. I'm only worried about whether they will expose me."
Qiu's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she said, "You don't have to worry anymore."
"Why?" Zheng Quchi was surprised. She was quite confused after hearing this. Could Master Qu and Shan Bian be so able to withstand the torture?
Qiudao: "Because they will definitely report you."
Zheng Quchi: "..."
Bang!
Something fell to the ground.
Oh, it turned out to be her former innocence.
I really want to say hello, well, thank you, thank them all!
"You, how did you know?" Zheng Quchi had goosebumps on his arms, and he was panicking.
Why do you say it so decisively, don't you want an accident to happen?
Qiu silently lowered his eyes and said: "Because if something unexpected happens during the mission, Master Qu has already decided to abandon you and save the other latent disciples of the Mo family."
After Zheng Quchi heard this, she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. It was resentment, but she didn't care about it, because she didn't have much loyalty to these people or this organization.
It would be impossible to say that she was completely indifferent, because if she hadn't struck first, she would have been used as a scapegoat by Qu Shi and others to divert their attention, so as to cover their smooth retreat.
But Qu Shi and the others probably never dreamed that a low-level figure like her, who seemed very easy to handle, could package them all and send them to Yu Wensheng's clutches.
What's this called? It's called a rabbit that bites when it's anxious.
After Yu Wensheng's scare in the morning, Zheng Quchi's heart was more or less numb at this moment, and he could not set off a big tsunami wave.
"Now that they have been caught, what's the point of exposing me? Besides, if Yu Wensheng knew...how could there be no movement at all?" Zheng Quchi comforted himself.
Qiu shook her head, with a look in her eyes that she couldn't understand: "I don't know what happened, but Zizi, you can't stay here any longer. If Master Qu can't hold on in Yu Wensheng's hands, I will never allow you to live, and your identity will be exposed sooner or later."
Zheng Quchi thought it was ridiculous. Is there any deep hatred between her and this Master Qu?
Why did he have to torture her to death?
"Why? Qiu, do you know something?" Zheng Quchi grabbed his hand and forced his eyes to look at him: "Tell me, if you still regard me as your companion, do you still care about the relationship between us? Friendship, just tell me, don't let me keep being used like a fool without knowing it."
Qiu's eyes trembled, and he opened his mouth, but found that it was difficult for him to refuse Zheng Quchi who was sincerely pleading with him.
"You, the Zheng family, are traitors to the Mo family."
Zheng Quchi was startled.
"Traitor? If that's the case, then why..." She seemed to have difficulty understanding.
"I don't know if you still remember what happened before you were three years old, but that period was the beginning of the defection of your Zheng family and the beginning of the Mo family's hunting order against you."
"I don't remember." Zheng Quchi shook his head, and she asked him again: "So, my parents and the Zheng clan were all killed by the Mo family?"
Qiu thought she was asking questions knowingly, because in Qiu's mind, Zheng Quchi's various unreasonable behaviors all the time were all due to the grudge against the Mo family in his heart.
She hates the Mohist family, but she has to obey the Mohist family's orders.
From the beginning, he didn't think she was loyal to the Mo family, but he didn't want to think about her like this, and how he would face her if she really wanted to become an enemy of the Mo family.
"Yes, Ruler, the Mo family is far darker and more terrifying than you know. Don't try to shake it, and don't think about revenge." He grabbed her shoulders: "Run away."
Zheng Quchi still didn't quite understand: "Since the Mo family doesn't intend to let Zheng go, then why haven't they killed me, my eldest brother, and the others all these years?"
"I can't talk about this. Anyway, Master Qu has given up on you, so you are no longer safe."
Zheng Quchi waved his hand away. She had a cold face and her clear eyes seemed to be frozen: "Is it because I have something very important on me?"
That kind of thing would not only allow the Mo family to keep their traitorous children, but also allow Mo Ye to risk offending the Mo family and make a deal with "Sang Xuanqing"...
She finally knew.
The Zheng family must have such an important thing, and "Sang Xuanqing" has already obtained it.
But...she doesn't know.
Qiu's eyes suddenly darkened: "Do you really have it?"
Zheng Quchi was very sensitive at the moment. She savored his expression carefully, the very short and extremely true expression of emotion. She suddenly laughed, narrowed her eyes to a slit, and said sarcastically: "It's really hard for you, with me. Is this the reason why we become friends?"
Qiu pursed her lips, and the young man's dark eyes showed a little fire.
"no."
"You still say no? Then why are you so excited when you hear it?"
Qiu saw that she was also angry, so he immediately put out the fire.
"You... did make some agreement with the people of the Julu Kingdom, right? If that thing is really with you, you must not give it to anyone, otherwise, the Mo family will definitely come out to hunt you down." Qiu warned sternly.
"Who are you? It's unlikely that an ordinary Mohist disciple would know as much as you do, right?" Zheng Quchi suddenly became suspicious.
And this mission, so dangerous, but so important, the mastermind behind the scenes, Qu Shi, came, and even Shan Bian, who had always been timid and afraid of death, personally took action, but he was not assigned to the entire mission.
Perhaps others may think that they are squeezing out marginalized disciples and not allowing him to participate in important tasks, but from another perspective, is it also preferring to protect him?
Qiu's pupils froze.
He didn't explain, just pulled her: "Zhi, come with me."
He just stretched out his hand, but unexpectedly, a long arrow shot from behind with a "whoosh" sound.
Qiu looked up suddenly.
The arrow grazed his sleeve and plunged straight into the ground.
He saw a dark shadow on the hilltop, like a night owl lurking in the jungle, vaguely watching for his opponent.
Zheng Quchi was also surprised.
Who shot the arrow? Are they from Yu Wensheng?
"You'd better let her go immediately, otherwise I can't guarantee that next time, this arrow will just miss her."
Behind him, Master Li was dressed in an exaggerated thick fur coat and walked out slowly. A circle of fox fur was wrapped around his neck, making his face look smaller. His glazed eyes were focused on Qiu. .
It seems to have exerted an invisible pressure on people.
When he saw it was him, Zheng Quchi breathed a long sigh of relief.
Qiu originally stood in front of Zheng Quchi, but after hearing his words, he frowned and suddenly turned around and asked her, "Who is he?"
When Zheng Quchi saw that Master Li had been lured out, she knew that this place was not hidden at all to prevent more people from being lured in. She pushed Qiu and said, "Don't worry about who he is. It's not important. What's important is just in case. If Yu Wensheng comes again later, you will definitely not be able to leave."
As soon as they finished speaking, a charming and smiling voice came from behind them.
"Yes, I didn't expect that Sang Xuanqing knows this general very well. Once I come, you will definitely not be able to escape if you want to."
It was like the sound of words coming from hell, and it instantly resounded in their ears.
Zheng Quchi also performed a Sichuan Opera face change for everyone on the spot.
From red to white, from white to green.
Do you want it to be so exciting all of a sudden?
She turned her head extremely slowly, still holding a somewhat lucky mentality in her heart.
But the next second, his mentality exploded.
...Lucky enough, Yu, Wen, and Sheng were still lingering after being thrown to death—!
The moment he saw him appear, Zheng Quchi suddenly remembered something.
One thing that she thought was weird before but couldn't figure out was what he meant by what he said to her before he left.
"Sang Xuanqing, you are very lucky. This time... you escaped by chance again."
Escaped……
Thinking about it carefully, this calamity, coupled with the truth Qiu told her, there is a high probability that...she has been betrayed by Qu Shi and the others.
At that time, Yu Wensheng would appear unexpectedly in the Casting Department, not just to see her "earth-made cement", but also to find out whether she had any relationship with the Mo family.
Is all this a slander by Master Qu, or is it true?
Zheng Quchi's guess was correct. Yu Wensheng's purpose in going to the Casting Department was impure.
Although, Yu Wensheng did not expect that Zheng Quchi would be pushed out so easily, and those people from the Mo family wanted to drag her to their destruction together.
Or, she is just an insignificant existence in the Mo family, pushing her out to divert attention just to hide more important people.
Or, she has enough "speciality" in the Mo family. This specialness is that the first thing to do when encountering danger is not to protect her, but to get rid of her quickly.
But no matter what, he was not interested in understanding her. He just wanted to get rid of her at will after using her value.
But... what he didn't expect was that Sang Xuanqing would have such a kinship with Zheng Quchi.
To kill or to keep?
For the first time, he hesitated a little.
However, after coming to the conclusion, he left her fishing, and following the clues, as he expected, he successfully caught a remnant of the Mo family.
Wei Yao took off his scales and walked out confidently.
"Are you going to arrest me directly? Or are you going to let me step on the ground and then arrest you without restraint?" He twisted his wrist, his fox eyes were playful and cold.
This is a side Zheng Quchi has never seen in him.
To her, this big brother Wei, who was kind to her and loved to tease her and touch her head, could also be the devil's minion in the eyes of others.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Qiu looked at Zheng Quchi stiffly, with hurt in his eyes: "This time, did you choose Yu Wensheng from Ye State?"
What?
Shouldn't he think that she betrayed him?
Please, she didn't even know he would come to her at this time, okay?
"No, I didn't." After Zheng Quchi blurted out, he realized that this explanation was too damn weak.
But how could she summarize everything in a very short period of time, like writing a short essay, and explain everything clearly.
Now I really can't argue.
She had thought about sending Master Qu and Shan Bian away, but she had never thought of doing this to him.
Those who don't do it for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth. These words are said by those ruthless people. Although she is not a Holy Mother, she has some of the shortcomings of ordinary people who are soft-hearted and protect their shortcomings.
He had rescued her and helped her before. She felt lucky that she didn't see him following Shan Bian on the mission to blow up the city wall that day.
"He followed me secretly by himself. I don't know about it at all."
She said it, but he didn't believe it.
"You made the right choice. Now that Yu Wensheng is protecting you, even if the Mo family wants to kill you, they will probably have to reconsider... But the premise is that everything he does is not to take advantage of you."
After Qiu left these words coldly, he distanced himself from Zheng Quchi and took a few steps forward, as if he planned to fight alone.
He pulled out the "Long Mound" from the custom-made slit on the back of the clothes.
It was an unusual short weapon, shaped like a five-pointed dart, about five inches long, with an overlapping shape and a small round hole hollowed out in the middle.
Qiu looked at Wei Yao and said provocatively without expression: "If you have the ability, just come."
Wei Yao applauded him and clapped his hands: "Okay, you are so proud. I like people with strong bones the most, because when they are broken like this, the sound is crisp and nice."
Wei Yao's followers are iron spears.
Qiu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He held Changqiu in the palm of his hand, pressed the round hole with his fingers, and with a throwing motion, it quickly spun and flew out.
Wei Yao calmly shot it away, but unexpectedly it turned an arc in mid-air, then turned back unexpectedly, and finally fell back into Qiu's hands easily and smoothly.
At this time, Wei Yao's left arm had been scratched.
He glanced at it lightly, and then stared at the "Changqiu" in Qiu's hand: "The weapons made by the Mo family are worthy of being praised as the best weapons in the world."
Qiu flexibly rotates "Long Qiu" in his hands.
"Only after you have seen it can you understand that the weapons of Ye State are just like Ye State today. They are vulnerable to the Mo family." Qiu said coldly.
