"It turns out it's him." At this moment, the man named Xu happened to turn his back to Wang Qi'an. Coupled with his rough voice, a familiar feeling came to his heart, and he couldn't help but exhale.
Ji Wurui couldn't help but turn his head and looked at him strangely.
This person was actually the person who attacked Xuanyi at Taipingguan that night and took away the sheepskin map. When Wang Qi'an chased him, he was blocked by three spear masters, but he had seen his back and heard his voice at that time.
But with his martial arts, how could he end up in such a situation, and where did he hide the map? It seems that Wu Niang's side has not obtained this picture yet.
"Senior, why don't you understand our dedication to serve the country? If we can't get this book, it will be difficult for us to carry out the transaction with Qinhuangdian. Without the help of its mercenary army, King Jinghai's existing troops will not be able to do anything during the Buddha Bathing Festival." Whether it can happen or not is unknown." Wu Niang explained softly.
"It's pity that we, the Annan people, have been oppressed by Liu and his son for decades. We have fought hard to this day. We finally have an opportunity for the situation to change. How can we let it go so easily!" She became more and more emotional as she spoke, but it didn't seem like she was pretending.
"My master has been greatly favored by the King of Wu, so how can he sit idly by and ignore the affairs of Annan. The senior has been his confidant for many years. It should be known that he made such a trick this time and treated the senior like this. He had no choice but to do so. I have seen the master before coming here. Your Majesty, she is still worried about Senior and told us to treat you well." Wu Niang continued to explain.
"No need to waste your breath anymore. No matter how eloquent you are, you can't even try to get the whereabouts of "Baopuzi" from my mouth today." The man surnamed Xu said angrily. After speaking, he simply sat down on a wooden bench aside and closed his eyes. Eyes, no longer pay attention to Wuniang.
"You..." Wu Niang couldn't help but rush up when she saw this, and almost drew her sword and pointed it at him.
"Vice General Wu, take this man back and give him a night to think carefully. If he refuses to submit tomorrow, don't blame me for disregarding Master's kindness and punishing him!" Wuniang said and stormed out of the hall angrily.
"It seems that Master Xuanyi didn't fall into their hands, so who was the one who kidnapped him?" Wang Qi'an frowned, puzzled.
"Let's rescue this person first. We can't let them use "Baopuzi" to trade with the Qin Emperor's Palace." Seeing that the clue was broken again, Wang Qi'an said helplessly.
Ji Wurui nodded and said: "These people should not be from the Jianghu. They should not have thought that someone would find this place. The defense is not tight, which is convenient for us."
The two of them followed Deputy General Wu and watched him take the man named Xu to an independent house in the backyard. After locking the door, they ordered the two to stand guard in front of the door.
When Vice General Wu is far away, with Wang Qi'an's strength, it will be easy to deal with these two people.
He unlocked the door and stepped inside. As far as he could see, the room was simply decorated, with only a table, a chair and a bed. The man was sitting by the bed thinking, and was surprised to see Wang Qi'an come in.
Wang Qi'an didn't give him a chance to speak, so he tapped his acupuncture points and put it under his ribs. After going out to meet Ji Wurui, he quickly left the courtyard.
The two of them walked non-stop and drove seven or eight miles before stopping at a mountain temple.
Wang Qi'an put the man down and unlocked his acupuncture points.
"It turns out to be you. I think you saved me, and you didn't have any kind intentions." The man surnamed Xu recognized Wang Qi'an. He wanted to kill him that day, so he would not have any good intentions today. So he said coldly.
"Where is the map that was stolen by you now? Why did it fall into the hands of Wuniang and the others?" Wang Qi'an didn't hold any grudges, he was just concerned about where the map was.
"Sure enough, you are also doing this for this purpose. Since I will not hand it over to Wuniang's master and apprentice, I will not hand it over to anyone else." He said disdainfully.
"This picture belongs to Taipingguan. Why do you make it sound like it belongs to you?" Ji Wurui sneered.
"Everything in the world does not belong to anyone. It's just that the capable get it and the virtuous live in it." The man surnamed Xu sneered.
"That's true. Anyway, your life at this time is in the hands of capable people like us. When to take it depends on our mood." Ji Wurui pulled out a dagger and dangled it in front of him.
"Do you know the whereabouts of Master Xuanyi Temple?" Wang Qi'an suddenly changed the subject and asked.
"What does the whereabouts of Master Xuan Yi have to do with me?" said the man surnamed Xu.
"So you don't know about the murder in Taipingguan?" Wang Qi'an stared at him, paying attention to the change in his expression when he heard this.
He said in astonishment: "What kind of murder? Do you think this matter has something to do with me?"
Wang Qi'an realized that he didn't seem to be lying, so he couldn't help telling what happened at Taipingguan, and then said to himself: "So, this matter was not done by Wu Niang's side. Who is the murderer?"
"You mean the murderers are masters of sword and palm skills respectively?" the man surnamed Xu said thoughtfully.
"Master Kongfa and I both carefully observed the wounds on the corpse. We agree on the same view. One of the murderers was very fast with his sword and could kill with one strike. The other had strong palms and could break people's veins." Wang Qi'an recalled the scene that day , affirmed.
The man named Xu remained silent.
"If you really want to know who the murderer is, I can point out a clear path, but the condition is that you let me leave." After a while, he said slowly.
"Your Excellency is very clever. If you point out a few random people and want us to let you go, are you treating us like three-year-olds?" Ji Wurui said coldly.
"What kind of person am I, Xu Mao? If I hadn't trusted that bitch master and apprentice, and my skills were suppressed, how could I have fallen into disgrace today and begged for peace with you and the others?" Xu Mao gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"'Xu Mao of the Spear Sect?" Wang Qi'an said in surprise.
Since spears and spears have the same origin, Wang Qi'an's father was famous for his spear skills in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Xu Mao was famous for his spear skills in the Northern Jin Dynasty, so he had heard about them.
"Sect Master Xu was ruling the roost in the north, how could he come to this barbaric land south of Lingnan?" Ji Wurui seemed to have heard of such a number one person, and couldn't help but say something.
"This has nothing to do with you. Mr. Xu always sticks to his word. If you let me go, I will naturally tell you what I know sincerely. Whether there is a deal or not can be decided in one word." Xu Mao said.
Wang Qi'an couldn't help but hesitate. He was not afraid that Xu Mao would deceive them, but that if he let him go, it would be more difficult to recover the map in the future. If he didn't agree to his conditions, he would definitely miss the opportunity to rescue Xuan Yi.
"Okay, I promise you. It's just that your skills are suppressed. Even if we let you leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to cope with Wu Niang's search." Human lives were at stake, so Wang Qi'an decided to save Xuan Yi first.
"You don't need to worry about this matter. I have my own way to deal with it." Seeing that Wang Qi'an agreed to his conditions, Xu Mao's tone became a little more polite.
"If you are going to the Giant Elephant Dojo, I advise you to avoid it. Mr. Lou is being watched by Prince Wending, and he may not be able to protect himself." Wang Qi'an remembered that the spear master and Lou Xianzhi had worked together to attack Ji Wurui before. There may be some conflicts between the two sides. Relationship, he couldn't help but remind him.
Xu Mao glanced at Wang Qi'an strangely and said lightly: "Where to go has nothing to do with you, so don't bother."
