"Wow, you can knock down a blind bear at the age of 7, you are really born with supernatural power!"
"That's not all. I heard from my master that this escort master Lu studied martial arts with my uncle when he was twelve years old. In less than three years, he had mastered the essence of my martial arts. In five years, he had made a name for himself in the world... Even some old men from Shaolin and Wudang favor him..."
backyard. Su Qiqi, Zheng Miao, and Yan Ruoyu were talking enthusiastically about the mysterious figure who visited the front hall late at night. The maid Xing'er brought three bowls of lotus seed soup, lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Xing'er, what about the person who came in the evening? Is he gone?" Su Qiqi saw Xing'er and asked curiously.
Zheng Miao and Yan Ruoyu also looked over, with expectant expressions on their faces.
Xing'er paused and said nonchalantly: "No, the master asked him to stay in the house..."
"Oh? So he passed my father's assessment..." Su Qiqi said thoughtfully, then looked up at Xing'er and said, "This is a good thing, why do you look depressed?"
Xing'er moved her lips when she heard the words, and said hesitantly: "That man does have some abilities, but he is too arrogant... He obviously wants something from the master, but..."
"Oh? Did he say something outrageous to my father?" Su Qiqi frowned, suppressing her inner curiosity and waiting for Myolie to continue.
"He asked the master to agree to three conditions before he agreed to join our escort agency." Xing'er slightly stuck out her tongue and said mysteriously.
Su Qiqi, Zheng Miao, and Yan Ruoyu looked at each other in shock when they heard this, and then they all looked at Xing'er and asked excitedly: "What three conditions?"
"I didn't hear all the details. I only heard him say that the third condition was to help him get the Seven Evil Soul-fixing Pearls..." Xing'er blinked her narrow eyes while thinking about what she had done in the front hall. Seeing the scene, he murmured in reply.
"What Soul-fixing Pearl? I've never heard of it... Where can I find it... Isn't this embarrassing?" Zheng Miao shouted in disbelief.
Yan Ruoyu was also taken aback, stood up suddenly, and asked anxiously: "Why would he want to find this thing? Is he crazy?"
"Do you know this thing? What is its origin?" Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao were both surprised when they heard this. They looked at Yan Ruoyu curiously, waiting to hear her introduce the origin of the Qisha Soul-fixing Pearl.
Yan Ruoyu pursed her lips and sighed faintly: "Well, let me tell you the origin of this soul-fixing bead. I heard from my uncle that this Qisha soul-fixing bead was originally the treasure of our Lingyue Cave. It took an ancestor of mine to refine it for ten years. Later, it was stolen by the previous leader of the Yeyou Alliance and taken to the lair of Qilian Mountain... I have another mission when I go down the mountain this time, which is to help the master. Retrieve the soul-fixing pearl..."
Zheng Miao and Yan Ruoyu nodded knowingly after hearing this. The three of them sat back at the table and drank the still warm lotus seed soup.
Xing'er stayed by the side for a while, cleared away the bowls and spoons, and exited the room knowingly.
Su Qiqi and the others were about to close the door and go to bed when they suddenly heard a dull sound in the yard. Su Qiqi felt her heart beating violently. She quickly opened the door and ran out first to check what was going on.
Zheng Miao and Yan Ruoyu also put on their coats again, followed closely, and ran out.
As soon as the three of them ran into the yard, they saw the maid Xing'er lying on the ground with a pool of blood underneath her body.
Su Qiqi's heart suddenly lifted, and she quickly walked to Xing'er's side, knelt down, and stretched out her hand to feel her breath.
Oops! No breathing! Su Qiqi's face suddenly became serious. She turned Xing'er over again and carefully inspected the fatal wound.
Zheng Miao also squatted down beside her and checked the injury with her. Yan Ruoyu walked around the yard, checking for traces of the assailant.
After a while, Nangong Qin, Qin Chuan and others also rushed over carrying lanterns.
The body of maid Xing'er was carried to an empty room in the backyard, guarded by Nangong Yue and several bodyguards.
Nangong Qin arranged for some people to patrol various courtyards, and then called Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan and others to the front hall for talks.
After everyone gathered in the front hall, they each found a seat and sat down, waiting quietly for Nangong Qin's instructions and arrangements.
Nangong Qin was livid at the moment, staring at the tea cup in his hand without saying a word. Mrs. Nangong stood beside him, with a bit of worry on her face.
"Master, what's wrong, two black figures just ran out from the corner door of the front yard..." The housekeeper hurried in and said out of breath.
When Su Qiqi heard this, she secretly thought something was wrong. She walked quickly to Nangong Qin's side and whispered a few words, then called Qin Chuan and Yan Ruoyu to run to the front yard together.
The three of them arrived at the corner door of the front yard and walked around the area, but no one was there. I felt confused for a moment.
Yan Ruoyu was the first to speak: "Could it be that the old housekeeper's eyes were dim and he saw it wrong? Or maybe it's just two little thieves who are interested in making money..."
"I don't think it's that simple... The escort just settled in the house and this happened... Isn't it too coincidental?" Su Qiqi pondered for a moment, then shook her head thoughtfully.
"Here, how about we go see if the escort is in the room, making plans?" Qin Chuan looked around again, then carefully checked the marks on the wall and ground near the corner door, and whispered his thoughts. .
Su Qiqi and Yan Ruoyu nodded after hearing this, and the three of them walked towards the room where the escort who arrived tonight lived.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the door of the room, they smelled a strange medicinal smell. The door was closed, but the light was still on inside.
Su Qiqi stepped forward and knocked on the door softly in confusion. Seeing that there was no movement inside, she and Qin Chuan pushed open the door and barged in. Yan Ruoyu also followed them into the room.
Wherever the three of them looked, the ground was in chaos.
It seems like there was obviously a fight here! Su Qiqi thought to herself, looked around, winked at Qin Chuan and Yan Ruoyu, and the two walked to a low cabinet next to the bed. Qin Chuan knelt down and pulled out a half-burned contract from the bottom of the cabinet.
Su Qiqi and Yan Ruoyu went over to look at it for a while, and couldn't help but whisper: "Why is there a money deed of Luohua Villa here... Could the two people the old housekeeper saw be Escort Lu and the owner of the bank? "
Qin Chuan frowned, held his forehead and sighed: "Let's go directly to the yard and have a look. Maybe we can meet them and find out..."
After that, the three of them returned to the yard and started looking around.
About a quarter of an hour later, Su Qiqi suddenly heard a slight sound of fighting coming from the front door, and hurriedly called Qin Chuan and Yan Ruoyu to go and find out.
Just as the three of them approached the main entrance of the Escort Bureau, a loud explosion came from the side hall, and then a thick plume of smoke rose over the Escort Bureau. Several maids and servants ran out screaming in panic.
Su Qiqi vaguely heard someone shouting: "There is an assassin!" She was shocked and hurriedly called Qin Chuan and Yan Ruoyu to rush to the side hall.
