Wang Qian asked:
"Where are the innocent villagers?"
When he mentioned this, he thought of the tragic fate of Chu Yunxia and his daughter.
Unconsciously touching the dragon pendant on his neck, he felt a twinge of pain in his heart.
Ji Wurui replied:
"Master Xu has escorted them back to Qiantang first, and then helps them return to their hometown depending on the situation.
No wonder we only see old and weak people. It turns out that young people are picked out for secret training. "
He paused and said:
"On that day, the Qin Emperor's Palace was going to execute these old, weak and useless people, but the mysterious swordsman stopped them. We arrived just in time to save them."
Wang Qi'an remembered the master wearing a bamboo hat and couldn't help but ask:
"Did you see that person later?"
Ji Wurui shook his head and said:
"The two generals Mei Fan searched the surrounding area for half a day, but found nothing else."
The edgeless iron sword moves like lightning, but it defends but does not attack. Wang Qi'an muttered:
"I guess that person should be the second-ranked bladeless swordsman in Ji Wenming's swordsmanship - Watanabe Qianqiu. I just don't know why he showed up in Fukushima."
"Where are we now?" Wang Qian asked.
Ji Wurui said: "This is Wengshan Island. General Mei and others have gone ashore to check the truth."
Wang Qian said:
"Let's go to the island and have a look."
The sound of footsteps came from outside.
Ji Wurui smiled and said:
"Looks like there's no need for that."
There was a knock on the door in the next room.
The door on Wang Qi'an's side was pushed open directly.
A young woman dressed as a cook appeared outside the door with a wooden tray in her hand. When they saw Wang Qi'an, they opened their mouths in surprise, but they quickly returned to normal.
"It turns out that the young master is awake! Xiaochan, Mr. Ji is also here. Please bring the fresh fish soup over."
Another young woman with a beautiful face and Jingchai cloth also appeared outside the door.
"When Mr. Sima left, he ordered me to boil the fresh fish soup. Remember to bring it to the two young masters."
As she spoke, Old Chef Xu brought the tray to the two of them.
Wang Qi'an stretched out his hand to push Ji Wurui back, and raised his lips sternly:
"I'm so hungry. Brother Ji, why don't you give up both bowls of fish soup to me..."
Before she finished speaking, a cold light burst out under Old Chef Xu's tray, hitting Wang Qi'an's chest.
The young woman's sword light originally attacked Ji Wurui, but Wang Qi'an blocked it and turned it into a straight stab at him.
Wang Qi'an didn't panic, he put his fingers into the palm of his hand and sliced the wrists of the two men with great speed.
The two sides were separated at the first touch. Wang Qi'an still stood still, and the two cooks took a few steps back.
Ji Wurui only knew what happened at this moment and said in shock:
"My life almost fell into the hands of my two sisters."
Wang Qi'an focused on them and Sen Han asked:
"Are you also from the Qin Emperor's Palace?"
The two girls didn't speak to each other, and scolded lightly. The cold light rose again, and countless sword flowers were thrown towards Wang Qi'an.
Wang Qi'an grabbed the silver gun from the edge of the bed, and the silver light exploded, making several clanging sounds. The two swords fell to the ground. Blood oozed from the arms of the two women, and their faces were pale.
"You are lucky today. If you kill the wise king, Emperor Qin will not let you go..."
Seeing that their plan failed, the two women fired a concealed weapon at Wang and Ji, and then took the opportunity to break through the ceiling.
Wang Qi'an's silver spear danced with fire, airtight, tinkling, tinkling, and hidden weapons fell one after another.
Ji Wurui looked at the embroidery needles all over the floor and said:
"How could Brother Wang see through them?"
Wang Qian said:
"Although the two of them had changed into common clothes, they didn't smell like fireworks, and their hands were tender and white. They looked like they had been helping in the kitchen for a long time.
Of course, I had already noticed the weapons they hid under the plate. "
At this time, footsteps began again outside.
Wang Qian said:
"It's time for them to come back!"
Sure enough, Mei Yin and Fan Zhan led a group of soldiers to rush over. They must have heard the noise here.
Sima Chang picked up an embroidery needle on the ground, looked at it from side to side and said:
"I didn't expect them to lurk here!"
Fan Zhan asked:
"Master, what clues can you see?"
Sima Chang said:
"The tail holes of these needles are all tied with a red thread. This is a unique hidden weapon used by the famous assassination organization 'Chi Mei'." Rumor has it that all members of this organization are women, good at disguise, and good at disguise. "
Mei Yin frowned and ordered to a general beside him:
"Go and check all the suspicious women on the ship."
Wang Qi'an turned to ask:
"Did you gain anything from visiting the island?"
Fan Zhan gritted his teeth and said bitterly:
"We are still a step too late, and there is no one alive in the Wengshan County government. According to the Zhuque Guard, the people from Qinhuangdian led three five-toothed ships and a dozen sea falcons. They left yesterday and headed south. .”
Wang Qi'an murmured:
"It seems that the plan that Emperor Qin has been planning for many years has begun."
Ji Wurui suddenly realized:
"No wonder they abandoned Fukushima and killed the old and weak villagers!"
Mei Yin and Fan Zhan are all people who know how to fight, and they all looked solemn when they heard Wang Qi'an's words.
The latter said:
"If we raise an army, depending on its sailing direction, the probability of attacking Fujian and taking Han is the highest. Changle Mansion has always been weak, and civil strife has just begun in Xingwang Mansion. If local forces cooperate, the coastal states and counties of the two countries will be in danger."
Mei Yin nodded and said:
"Fan Zhanjun saw it very accurately. I must rush back to Qiantang immediately, present this important discovery to the Holy Emperor, and then send people to inform Taiwan, Wenzhou and several coastal states immediately to strengthen defense."
The next day, Mei Yin sent some people to stay in Wengshan to deal with the aftermath, and he led Wang Haijun back to Qiantang.
Others returned to Mingzhou City.
Sima Jing was overjoyed to see everyone came back safely.
She threw herself in front of Wang Qi'an and circled around him. If she hadn't been in front of everyone, she would have fallen into his arms.
Wang Qi'an raised his hand to expose his waist and ribs, then pointed to a few scratches on his chest, and forced a smile and said:
"Thanks to your golden armor, I wasn't injured!"
Sima Chang was afraid that his sister would not know the news of Chu Yunxia's death and talk nonsense in front of Wang Qi'an, so he hurriedly came over and called her out:
"Jing'er, brother, there's something going on here. Please come over and help me."
Wang Qi'an seemed to understand his thoughts and said:
"Brother Sima, it's okay!"
Sima Jing glanced back and forth, looking at the two of them doubtfully.
She seemed to have a vague guess about something, and she couldn't help but cast her eyes on Wang Qi'an's face, her expression of tenderness and pity gradually widening.
In the meeting hall, everyone was discussing where to go next.
Wang Qian said:
"Now that things are done here, Wu Rui and I will take the road to Yangzhou via Hangzhou."
I wonder what happened to Yang Duo when he stayed in Yangzhou that day?
As for Ji Wurui, he also hopes to use his ability to build an intelligence network in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
"Brother Fan, you don't know where to go? If you haven't decided yet, why not go on the road with us first?"
Wang Qian couldn't help but ask tentatively when he saw Fan Zhan was silent.
Fan Zhan really had no conclusion in his mind. He hesitated, nodded sharply and said:
"Well, since we have nothing to do, why not go to Hangzhou with you all and take the opportunity to appreciate the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River."
Although the Sima guards were only under his command for a few days, Fan Zhan undoubtedly regarded them as his brothers, so he felt a little reluctant to leave them so suddenly.
