Mrs. Wu carefully removed the red seal, opened the lid of the medicine jar, and took out a green medicine ball from inside. She held the medicine ball in her hand, walked slowly to Nangong Ke's side, opened Nangong Ke's mouth with her other hand, and prepared to put the medicine ball into Nangong Ke's mouth. Suddenly she heard footsteps outside the door. She hurriedly hid the medicine ball in her sleeve, and then quickly sat back at the desk.
The door was pushed open, and Wu Sankui, the new head of Wusheng Escort Bureau, walked in. He glanced at Nangong Ke on the wooden bed in the corner, then looked at Mrs. Wu's expression, bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Godmother, from Weiyuan Escort Bureau" Nangong Qin is here! Wait outside the door...or let the child take his head now and avenge his adoptive father!"
"Kui'er, I have my own plan for this matter. Last time we rashly broke into the Weiyuan Escort Agency, we already alerted the snake... How could they come here without preparation? If they act recklessly again this time, not only will they not be able to repay your adoptive father's punishment, If you want to take revenge, you may even lose all the belongings of Wu Sheng Escort Bureau..." After Mrs. Wu finished speaking, she frowned and looked displeased.
Wu Sankui hurriedly handed over his hands and said humbly: "My child knows that I am wrong, and this matter is up to my godmother! If there is a place where my child's service is needed, just give me your orders..."
Mrs. Wu nodded, thought silently for a while, and then said: "I will ask Nangong Qin to go to the main hall to talk in a while. You and a few bodyguards will ambush there first and act according to the opportunity..." After that, she asked Wu Sankui to come closer. , whispered a few instructions in his ear.
Wu Sankui nodded and took the order and left. Mrs. Wu sighed and thought to herself: This adopted son whom her husband has trained for many years is loyal, and his skills are not bad, but it is a pity that he is a little stupid... I hope he won't fall into trouble again this time...
Thinking of this, she was about to get up and walk towards Nangong Ke. At this time, there was another knock on the door and the voice of housekeeper Wu Sheng: "Madam, Nangong Qin, the head of the Weiyuan Escort Bureau, wants to see you!"
Mrs. Wu responded lazily, turned around and walked out. Seeing Wu Sheng standing respectfully by the door, he raised his eyelids slightly and said: "Take him to the main hall to wait for me..." After that, let the housekeeper leave first. She returned to her practice room, took out a few hidden weapons, and then walked calmly to the main hall.
Outside the door of Wusheng Escort Agency. Nangong Qin anxiously waited outside the door for a cup of tea before housekeeper Wu Sheng came to lead him in. He followed Wu Sheng through the two courtyards and came to the brightly lit main hall.
In the main hall, two maids were placing tea cups and fruit plates in an orderly manner. Behind the screen in the main hall, Wu Sankui and several bodyguards were hiding in the dark. Seeing Nangong Qin come in, Wu Sankui's eyes flashed with a chilling light. Several other bodyguards also stared at Nangong Qin with fierce expressions.
The housekeeper motioned Nangong Qin to sit down on the high-backed chair on one side, glanced at the screen intentionally or unintentionally, bowed and left. A maid brought a cup of tea and handed it to Nangong Qin. Nangong Qin took it, thanked him, and looked out the door with a cup.
After a while, the graceful Mrs. Wu appeared at the door wearing a purple dress. Behind her were two female escorts in bunters. Nangong Qin stood up hurriedly, bowed and said, "Mrs. Wu! Nangong Qin is so polite!"
Mrs. Wu smiled faintly and saluted back: "General Guard Nangong came to the humble residence late at night. What can I say?" After saying that, she sat down on the other side of the main hall and looked at Nangong Qin with half-smiling eyes.
"Mrs. Wu, I came to your house this time to take my dog Nangong Ke back...and I would like to ask Madam to make it easier for me..." Nangong Qin pondered for a moment and explained the purpose of his visit straight to the point.
"Oh? Mr. Nangong is joking! Why is your young master here with me... Have you made a mistake..." Mrs. Wu took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"Mrs. Wu, if I wasn't completely sure, I wouldn't have come here to disturb your house..." Nangong Qin suppressed the anger in his heart and replied with a serious face.
"Haha... I would like to hear the details..." Mrs. Wu still said with a calm smile.
"My Yu'er and Yue'er have fought against you. You signed up for yourself... Not long after, we found the woman's footprints and broken tassel in Ke'er's room... Wasn't it you?" Nangong Qin's The tone became a little urgent.
Mrs. Wu chuckled lightly, raised her eyebrows and said, "Could it be that some other female thief in the world faked my name and abducted your young master?"
Nangong Qin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, not knowing how to respond. There was some hesitation in his heart. Could it be that Ke'er's disappearance really had nothing to do with the woman in front of him, but was caused by someone else?
Seeing Nangong Qin's hesitant expression, Mrs. Wu became even more proud and said contemptuously: "Chief Nangong, you'd better go back and check things out before you come back! Wu Sheng, see you off!"
When Nangong Qin saw that Mrs. Wu had issued an order to expel guests, he felt a little embarrassed. He hesitated to take any steps. It wasn't until Wu Sheng came over to urge him in a low voice that Nangong Qin reluctantly walked away.
Seeing Nangong Qin's helpless look, Mrs. Wu's smile became even brighter. She quietly moved behind the screen and whispered a few instructions to Wu Sankui and others. Wu Sankui and others went out from the back door and approached Nangong Qin's carriage parked outside the courtyard.
As soon as Nangong Qin walked out of the door, he noticed something strange. He whispered to the few followers who were waiting to pick him up outside the door. They all clenched their swords and walked towards the carriage warily.
When they were still a few steps away from the carriage, several men in black suddenly jumped out and slashed at Nangong Qin and his entourage with swords. Nangong Qin and others were preparing to counterattack. Before their swords could touch the men in black, several of them suddenly fell down. Nangong Qin and the others, as well as the leader Wu Sankui, were all stunned.
Their eyes were all looking behind the man in black, where two masked men, a man and a woman, were standing. Nangong Qin recognized the two masked men at a glance and shouted in surprise: "Su'er, Chuan'er, why are you here?"
Su Qiqi quickly ran to Nangong Qin and said with a smile: "Those thieves are quite cunning. I am a little worried, so I asked Qin Chuan to follow you secretly to protect you... I have settled down and my mother is here..."
Qin Chuan also used Qinggong to teleport in front of Nangong Qin, bowed and said: "Uncle Nangong, leave these thieves to me, you and Su'er hurry up and save them!"
Nangong Qin thought for a moment, nodded, and said: "Since Mrs. Wu refuses to let her go, we have no choice but to break in..." After that, he arranged for the escorts to help Qin Chuan deal with the man in black in front of him. Then he and Su Qiqi prepared to use their skills to climb over the wall and rescue people.
"Uncle Nangong, wait a minute..." Qin Chuan suddenly shouted.
Nangong Qin and Su Qiqi were both stunned for a moment, stopped, and looked at Qin Chuan in confusion.
Qin Chuan said eagerly: "I just took a walk in the yard, and Brother Ke seemed to be locked in a room next to the practice room in the backyard..."
Nangong Qin and Su Qiqi would smile heartily, turn around and leap towards the courtyard.
The leading man in black, Wu Sankui, also recognized Qin Chuan and Su Qiqi. Knowing that he and his subordinates could not stop Su Qiqi and the others, he hurriedly sent out a signal flare to report to Mrs. Wu in the courtyard.
After a while, Mrs. Wu appeared at the door with her two most trusted female escorts. She glanced at Nangong Qin, Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan and others, snorted coldly, and said with a smile: "Chief Nangong, why haven't you left yet? Are you trying to break into a private house to rob someone?"
Nangong Qin was choked by her words and was speechless for a moment. Su Qiqi was the first to reply: "My second brother, third brother and several escorts witnessed your night break into the Weiyuan Escort Agency, as well as the clues left in my eldest brother's room and the Ye You League young man we captured. The leader...even if you are an official, we have the right to ask you for someone..."
"What a sharp-tongued girl... Yes, I caught Nangong Ke... I just don't want to hand over to anyone, what can you do to me?" Mrs. Wu raised her eyebrows and said provocatively.
"Haha, if I kill the little leader of the Yeyou Alliance, do you think you can still chat with us so easily?" Su Qiqi replied with a chuckle without showing any signs of weakness.
"You - you dare to threaten me!" Mrs. Wu finally showed a ferocious expression, scolded angrily, and took the opportunity to shoot several hidden weapons.
Several leaf-shaped golden lights flew towards Su Qiqi and others. Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan, and Nangong Qin raised their swords in time to attack, and swept the hidden weapons to the ground one by one.
Seeing that the sneak attack failed, Mrs. Wu smiled coquettishly and said: "The two young men are very good at martial arts... But this is not a place for you to run wild... Kuier, kill them with me..."
Seeing that his godmother was backing him, Wu Sankui gained a little more courage, and together with his bodyguards, he rushed towards Su Qiqi and others again. Su Qiqi and others did not show weakness, each used their own unique moves to fight with the people from Wu Sheng Escort Agency.
After dozens of rounds, in addition to Mrs. Wu, Wu Sankui and several escorts from the Wusheng Escort Bureau were defeated. The Weiyuan Escort Bureau also lost several followers, but its overall combat power was obviously superior. Seeing that the situation was not good, Mrs. Wu changed her face again. We need to negotiate peace with Nangong Qin and others.
Nangong Qin knew that the other party was just a delaying tactic, so he decided to prioritize peace and negotiate with the other party again. Try to rescue Ke'er without using any force.
Thinking of this, he motioned to Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan to be quiet, and he would have a good talk with Mrs. Wu first.
"Mrs. Wu, our escort agency has always emphasized peace as the most important thing. I once again beg Madam to let the dog go. Weiyuan Escort Agency is willing to thank you with a generous gift..."
After hearing what Nangong Qin said, Mrs. Wu's expression changed, and she said with a smile on her face but not on her face: "Well, how about we exchange hostages at the locust grove on the south hillside outside the city at nine o'clock tomorrow?"
Su Qiqi stared at her, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. She didn't have time to think too much. Nangong Qin has already responded loudly: "Okay! It's settled! Please don't change your mind, Mrs. Wu!"
Mrs. Wu sneered and nodded, saying: "General Guard Nangong, please come back, see you tomorrow!" After that, she and Wu Sankui and others returned to the courtyard and closed the thick door.
Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan, and Nangong Qin stood there for a while. Then he turned around and got into the carriage. Several other surviving followers also got on the carriage and drove away in a noisy manner.
On the way, Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan got off the carriage and turned back to Wu Sheng Escort Agency. Nangong Qin continued to move forward with his entourage, returning to the Weiyuan Escort Bureau to bring in reinforcements.
