A quarter of the hour.
Miss Shu dragged Ning Shishi to the Xunyang Houfu.
Zhao Si pushed the door open and said, "You have passed the corridor and the fifth courtyard from the right is where Jiang Wang is. I'm going to bed. You can do whatever you want."
Seeing Zhao Si leaving, Miss Shu and Ning Shishi looked at each other, thinking that the rules of the Hou Mansion were really strange.
Walking in the corridor, Miss Shu said nervously: "That Jiang Wang doesn't have any conspiracy, right?"
Ning Shishi said with relief: "Junior sister, don't be afraid. If Mr. Jiang makes things difficult, we won't be able to leave the Marquis Mansion at that time. Why invite him again at this time? Maybe there is really something that needs our help."
Miss Shu glanced at him sideways and said, "But you called Mr. Jiang nice."
Ning Shishi smiled awkwardly.
Somewhere along the way, a sound of lamentation suddenly came.
Miss Shu panicked and said, "There must be a demon!"
Ning Shisi paused to look at it and said, "If there is a demon, Junior Sister should be able to sense it."
Miss Shu immediately shook her head.
Since arriving in Huncheng, she seems to have become less and less courageous. She really hates this place.
Out of curiosity, Ning Shisi heard the sound and looked for it.
"Woodshed?" Ning Shishi felt even more surprised when he saw some firewood piled at the door.
In order to lure out the old man in coarse linen clothes, Jiang Wang directly withdrew the Black Flame Army guarding Su Lingyi, which could be said to have given the old man a chance to take action.
Moreover, he only had one steamed bun a day, and he did not ask the doctor to treat Su Lingyi's injuries, but simply bandaged them, so there was no need to worry about Su Lingyi escaping.
Miss Shu summoned up the courage to lie down at the crack of the door and look inside.
"Who..." Lying on the firewood pile, Su Lingyi, who was hopeless, heard the movement outside and asked in a hoarse voice.
He was now disheveled, his face was bloodless, and he was extremely weak.
If he had not completed the foundation building and could borrow the energy of heaven and earth to survive, according to the way Jiang Wang treated him, Su Lingyi would have been dead.
And this is exactly what Jiang Wang had planned.
"Who are you and why are you in the woodshed?"
Su Lingyi frowned slightly and asked, "Aren't you from the Hou Mansion?"
Without waiting for the people outside to answer, he said in a hoarse voice: "No matter who you are, please rescue me. Jiang Wang is such a hateful thief that he locked me up here and ignored me..."
He struggled to move towards the woodshed door and said again: "I am a disciple of Yuyuan Academy. As long as you can save me, I will be grateful to you."
Originally, Ning Shisi was going to drag Miss Shu away. He regarded Jiang Wang as a monk at the peak of Dongming, and he didn't want to meddle in other people's business. But when he heard the identity of the people in the woodshed, he stiffened slightly.
"Yuyuan Academy?"
In fact, Ning Shishi didn't like people from Yuyuan Academy in the divine capital very much, but it was a very serious matter for a disciple from the academy to be imprisoned in the Xunyang Marquis Mansion in Huncheng.
"Why did he lock you up?" Ning Shishi did not act rashly, but asked the reason.
Su Lingyi said bitterly: "Jiang Wang wants to use me to coerce Yuyuan Academy, and his purpose is obvious. The Grand Sacrificial Wine of the Divine Capital is revered as a Confucian saint, and even an emperor's teacher. Jiang Wang's move is tantamount to treason. Treat me." When you get out, you must report it to the Holy One and cut this thief Jiang Wang to death with a thousand knives!"
Ning Shisi looked solemn.
If what the people in the woodshed said is true, Jiang Wang is indeed guilty of a heinous crime.
Just as he was about to open the woodshed door.
There was a sudden cough from behind.
Jiang Wang looked at them with a smile and said: "You two, I invite you into my house, you are my guests, but guests must also understand the rules, how can you run around in my house."
Miss Shu immediately said: "It was the one-armed man who let us do as we pleased!"
Ning Shishi grabbed Miss Shu and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Jiang, is the person locked in the woodshed really a disciple of Yuyuan Academy?"
Even though he was afraid of Jiang Wangdongming's peak strength, he was still passionate about key matters.
"That's right." Jiang Wang nodded and said with a smile: "Miss Shu should know that I defeated Cai Tanggu in Qixia Street. You can easily find out the cause of the matter. If Cai Tanggu wants to take revenge, I will keep it secret. Isn’t it too much to protect yourself?”
Miss Shu seemed to have just remembered that the people guarding the government office had told the specific story very clearly, and she immediately repeated it to Ning Shisi.
"Even so..." Ning Shishi hesitated: "It is really inappropriate for Mr. Jiang to detain the disciples of Yuyuan Academy. Besides, there seems to be a misunderstanding in this matter. If Cai Tanggu really comes to take revenge, I can explain to Mr. Jiang that I believe Yuyuan Academy will give him face, so why not let this person go..."
Jiang Wang looked deeply at Ning Shishi. How could Yuyuan Academy give him face? This guy's identity is not simple.
But his heart is extremely vicious.
You actually want to intercede for me?
I have cursed tens of thousands of words and spent all my energy waiting for Cai Tanggu to come back for revenge. Doesn’t your action make me fail?
Is this something a human being can do?
Jiang Wang's expression turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "I am inviting Miss Shu into the house. Where did you come from? Be careful, I will sue you for breaking into a private house!"
Ning Shisi was stunned on the spot.
What's happening here?
I obviously mean well.
Miss Shu couldn't help but said: "Jiang Wang, you are really sick, why are you so silent?"
Jiang Wang's cold expression instantly became gentle, and he said with a smile: "Miss Shu, there are some things that you cannot and should not take care of. As everyone knows, sometimes good intentions can lead to bad things. Let's just pretend that nothing happened just now and leave. , I’ll treat you to tea.”
Miss Shu said in surprise: "You change your face so quickly."
Jiang Wang clasped his hands and said, "That's ridiculous, that's ridiculous."
Miss Shu pouted and said, "I have never seen such a shameless person."
Jiang Wang waved his hands one after another and said, "Don't praise me, don't praise me."
Miss Shu: "..."
"Evil thief! Don't deceive others with your clever words!" Su Lingyi's voice came from the woodshed, full of hatred, "When the wine sacrifice comes to Huncheng, you will have no good fruit to eat, so you can continue to be proud. Let’s see who can have the last laugh!”
Jiang Wang said helplessly: "Here we go again. If you really have a brain, just shut up and threaten you again. I won't be able to keep you here."
Su Lingyi was obedient.
After being imprisoned for such a long time, he was indeed going crazy, but he also knew what it meant to be aware of current affairs, but he didn't dare to risk his life here.
Jiang Wang led Miss Shu and Ning Shishi out of the woodshed.
"The woodshed is simple and unattended. Mr. Jiang said harsh words, but he did not actually imprison the man. The man may be injured, but he will not be able to escape. Isn't this strange?"
Ning Shisi, who was following behind, whispered to Miss Shu.
Miss Shu also lowered her voice and said: "The Marquis Mansion itself is very strange. Jiang Wang looks very weak, has a lame housekeeper, but is actually a master, has a one-armed servant, and has a whole day Which of the maids carrying the big sword is not strange?"
"You whisper in front of me, do you think if you lower your voice I won't hear you?"
Jiang Wang looked back at them, thinking that his mind was not very clear.
Ning Shishi was a little embarrassed.
Miss Shu said directly: "Then tell me, what do you think about locking people in a woodshed, in a secluded place, and without anyone to guard them?"
Jiang Wang said: "Originally, someone was watching, but they just evacuated because of something. I'm also curious as to why the guy didn't escape. He was injured so badly that he didn't even have the strength to push the door open. He thought he was a guard. Are you hiding in the dark and not daring to take the risk of escaping?"
Miss Shu was stunned for a moment.
Ning Shishi asked suspiciously: "Is it possible that that person is too cautious and does not dare to take risks easily even if the opportunity to escape is right in front of him?"
Jiang Wang smiled and said: "So, being cautious is sometimes not a good thing, just like being smart but being misled by cleverness, and being trapped in the woodshed just because he thinks too much."
He didn't care much about whether Su Lingyi left the woodshed.
Although the firewood shed is in a secluded place, there are many places to go out of the house. According to Su Lingyi's current situation, it is impossible to climb out of the wall. Moreover, there is a small fish practicing swordsmanship at the place where he must pass when leaving the house. .
Xiaoyu is very serious about practicing martial arts.
Except when she was eating and sleeping, and when Jiang Wang needed Xiaoyu to follow her, she basically practiced her sword.
In Qihou's mansion, Xiaoyu has always been the earliest to get up and the last to sleep.
Now that she has truly entered the journey of becoming a martial artist, she cannot hide the disturbances in the Hou Mansion.
It didn't matter whether Su Lingyi was in the woodshed, as long as he didn't leave the Hou Mansion.
When he returned to Jiang Wang's courtyard, he lay down on the wicker chair and stretched out his hand to signal Miss Shu and Ning Shishi to sit down.
He got straight to the point: "There is news that there may be a big monster in Hun City. I specially invited you two to come into the house because I want you to help find the traces of the monster."
Ning Shisi looked around. Apart from a wicker chair, there was nothing else to sit on in the yard. He could only stand there and said in confusion: "I also saw Mr. Jiang's action of subduing demons. If he is looking for demons, , why do you ask us for help?”
He was even thinking about how at first he said he only invited junior sisters, but now he changed his mind very quickly.
Jiang Wang smiled and said, "Because I'm lazy."
Ning Shishi's eyes widened, he really didn't expect this reason.
Miss Shu still had doubts about whether Jiang Wang was a monster and warned, "Are you trying to harm us by looking for monsters?"
Jiang Wang said amusingly: "Miss Shu, your caution is indeed comparable to that of Su Lingyi. You should be more cautious when walking in the world, but you must not be cautious in everything, otherwise you will miss many opportunities. If you can find If you see traces of monsters, just lure them here, there is no need to fight them head-on."
Ning Shishi nodded and said: "If there is a big demon in Hun City, we will be duty-bound to do so."
Although Su Lingyi had learned from the past, Miss Shu was still very cautious.
She looked at Jiang Wang with suspicion, originally thinking that a good-looking person should not be bad, but the facts proved that Jiang Wang was downright bad.
Even if she was being cautious, she didn't want to be fooled again.
"Miss Shu...what is your name?"
Jiang Wang asked suddenly.
Miss Shu was stunned, "I didn't scream?"
Jiang Wang was silent and asked again: "I mean, what is your name?"
Miss Shu snorted coldly: "Why should I tell you?"
But before she finished speaking, Ning Shisi had already said: "Junior sister's surname is Shu and her name is Ni. I am Ning Shisi. I come from the capital of God."
Miss Shu immediately said angrily: "You speak too quickly!"
