Although Wu Niang did not say who the person they controlled was, upon hearing the three words "Baopuzi", Wang Qi'an was very sure that this person must be Xuan Yi. Coupled with the clues of spices, he was almost certain that one of the Taipingguan murderers was Wuniang.
He originally wanted to stop Wu Niang from questioning Xuanyi's whereabouts, but then he thought of a better way and let her leave.
Since the other party only gave three days, Wu Niang would definitely be anxious to ask Xuan Yi about the whereabouts of "Baopuzi". As long as they followed him, they would naturally find Xuan Yi.
"Brother Ji, do you know who that person was just now?" Wang Qian asked Ji Wurui.
Ji Wurui shook his head and said: "I have never seen this person before. It is very likely that he has just arrived at Prince Xing's Mansion."
"By the way, I remember you said before that Chu Lianyao accidentally learned a sword technique while being chased by Jiange. I wonder if Brother Ji knows the origin of this sword technique?" Wang Qi'an said that Chu Lianyao and Wu Niang are most likely from the same sect. Thoughts spoken.
"Is this happening? I only know that it is a technique that was originally only suitable for women to practice. It is strange and profound. I don't know much about anything else." Ji Wurui said.
"Princess Wanwan is the cousin of Wu Changwen in Jiaozhou, and Wu Niang is the chief of his bodyguards. It seems that Chu Lianyao may not really want to serve for King Wu Jing when he joins the army." He thought for a while and added.
"When he attacked Cheng Ziyan that day, he deliberately concealed his strength, which shows that he had an ulterior motive. Since we know that he and Wu Niang are closely related, it is very likely that he is also working for Princess Wanwan. Listening to the conversation between the two that night, they are not loyal to Liu Hongbi. , and is planning something for Wu Changwen." Wang Qian speculated.
"Therefore, the possibility that they hid Master Xuanyi in Prince Wending's palace is extremely low. The hiding place should be related to Wu Changwen." Wang Qi'an added.
The two of them followed Wuniang out of Niuguling and found that she had no intention of returning to the city.
About ten kilometers away from Prince Xing's Mansion, there is a densely populated place called Qingyang Town, where merchants trade.
There is a very well-known Taoist temple in the town called Supreme Temple. The Supreme Master Tai likes to do good deeds and often helps poor people in the surrounding villages. It is said that he has beauty skills. He is over fifty years old, but he looks like a young woman. .
Wu Niang first found an inn, changed into ordinary people's clothes, and then came to the supreme temple.
It was almost time to hold the lanterns. There were no pedestrians in front of the temple and the gate was closed.
Wu Niang stepped forward and clicked three times, followed by three more.
There was a creaking sound at the door, and a young nun stretched out half of her face. Seeing that the person who came was Wuniang, she hurriedly opened the door and let her in.
Wang Qian and the others walked around the Supreme Temple and found that it was not large in scale, with a front hall, a main hall, and a backyard. On the left side of the main hall was a lotus pond with covered bridges, pavilions, waterside pavilions, and on the right was a two-story bell tower.
The two of them were on the top of the bell tower and saw Wu Niang following the young nun who opened the door, passing through the main hall and heading towards the backyard where the nuns lived.
"If you say that Wuniang has nothing to do with this nunnery, I naturally don't believe it." Ji Wurui said.
"Brother Ji, wait for me here, let me explore the truth." At this time, the dusk was getting darker, Wang Qi'an finished speaking, flew down, and sneaked into the backyard.
Seeing that Wu Niang had entered the middle room of a row of houses, Wang Qi'an sneaked to the roof there, gathered his ears, and listened carefully.
"Disciple meets Master!" Wuniang's voice sounded!
Wang Qian was shocked, and he did not dare to be careless anymore. He gathered his energy and concentrated on holding his breath.
"You don't look good, but are you injured?" A clear female voice sounded.
Wang Qian thought that she was the Supreme Master. How could her voice be so young and beautiful?
"Master has great eyesight. During the day, when he was in the palace, he encountered Queen Jiuxuan who broke into the palace. The disciple was defeated and injured by her." Wu Niang did not mention that Wang Qi'an injured her first.
"The Nine-Xuan Queen, who is known as the best master in Bashu? How could she appear in the palace?" the woman asked in surprise.
"I guess he came for Jia Quanzhong, a traitor in his sect. Later, I learned from the palace guards that he was injured and kidnapped by several women. His Highness, Prince Wen Ding, lost more than he gained this time. Not only did Xu Changshan escape with injuries, but Mou Weiran also The corpse is in the palace. I didn’t expect the martial arts of Queen Jiuxuan to be more terrifying than the rumors." Wu Niang seemed to be frightened.
After listening to Wu Niang's words, the woman couldn't help but fell silent. After a while, she asked: "Since you were injured, why don't you recuperate in the house? Is there anything urgent that comes here?"
Wuniang told her about going to Niuguling.
"This man is very stubborn, and he is angry that I deceived him. He has refused to reveal even a few words about this book for so long. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out anything in three days." The woman said in a confused tone.
"Since time is urgent, you might as well try again. After a few days, see if he will loosen his tone." The woman added.
"Yes, disciple, go and have a look now." Wu Niang responded.
After Wu Niang exited the room, she walked out of the Zhishang Temple the way she came.
Could it be that people are not here? Wang Qi'an was secretly puzzled.
He returned to the bell tower and greeted Ji Wurui, and the two of them continued to sneak up behind Wuniang.
Wu Niang returned to the town and entered a house with an ordinary appearance.
But Wang Qi'an and the two jumped up to the outer wall, only to find that there were several armed men patrolling in the front and back yards.
The two of them were lying on the roof of the front yard, and they could just see Wu Niang talking to a thin man with dark skin in the main hall.
"Vice General Wu, thank you for your hard work! How is that man's condition? Can you explain anything again?" Wu Niang asked.
"Still the same as before, refusing to say anything! If you hadn't told me not to use torture, captain of the guard, I would have let him have a taste of our Da Wu methods." Vice General Wu said angrily.
These people were wearing casual clothes, could they be officials? Judging from the tone, they are still officers and soldiers from the Wu Dynasty in Jiaozhou.
"Go and bring him here. I have something to ask him." Wu Niang ordered.
Vice General Wu accepted the promise and left.
Wang Qian couldn't help but feel excited and was about to rob someone.
After a while, Lieutenant General Wu and two of his men appeared with one person.
"Do you want to take action now?" Ji Wurui asked.
"Wait a minute, this person is not Master Xuanyi." Wang Qian quickly stopped him after seeing the person clearly.
"What? No?" Ji Wurui said in surprise.
"I don't know this person, but his figure looks familiar." Wang Qi'an also said in surprise.
This man is about fifty years old, dressed in gray, tall and thin, with a long face and a straight nose, with a few long beards waving under his chin. He has a somewhat dashing air, but his expression is a little depressed.
"Senior Xu, this junior and Master have offended each other a lot. Please forgive us for our unavoidable difficulties." Wu Niang said respectfully and politely when she saw the visitor.
"I was blind before, but now I don't think I will believe a word of your master and disciple again." The figure seemed very angry and said in a hoarse voice.
"My master is the only one in the world who can undo the restrictions on my senior. If I delay for too long, I'm afraid it will affect my senior's skills." Wu Niang continued indifferently to his hateful words.
"Hmph, you think you can threaten me, Mr. Xu, if you don't have anything new to say today, please don't bother me again." The man still said angrily.
