"You mean..."
"I asked you, are you old and confused? Why do we want to live in the Qin family? Isn't it just for the convenience of rescuing people? Where will they be placed after they are rescued? It would be okay if it was just to save people, but now they are trying to trick them Qin It’s a father-and-son deal, so we can’t leave the Qin family after rescuing the person. Of course, we have to find a place to hide first, and then take the person out of the Qin family openly later. It’s better than running around carrying someone on your back.”
"oh--!"
"Oh, you idiot! You are an old guy who is as cunning as an old fox on weekdays. Why are you so slow now when you meet the Qin family? I think you are overwhelmed by hatred. You want me for such a simple thing?" To remind?"
Old Wu was a little embarrassed by Shao Xi's words, scratched his face and giggled "hehe", but immediately started to worry again.
"You got these twenty carts of rags and told Qin Yuezong and his son that they were cloud yarns. You also said that the income from this batch of cloud yarns belongs to them. How can they trust us to take this cloud yarn away? They will definitely send someone. Come with us to escort him, we won't really take him to Nanzhao then, right? Besides, Weiping is in the car, how can we get him out if someone is following us?"
Shao Xi took out the banknotes that shopkeeper Lu had given him during the day and counted them one by one.
"You are all thieves. Don't you know how to use the dirty tricks in the world? I guess if nothing happens, the old guy will ask Qin Miao to escort the convoy himself. Then you can Use some sweat medicine to paralyze him, send all the coachmen away, leave the guy alone in the wilderness and ignore him. He is an old man and should know the way home."
Old Wu raised his hand and twirled the sparse beard on his chin. He nodded and expressed that he understood what Shao Xi planned.
"You used Wuhai Kingdom's treasure as bait to induce them to cooperate with you in this cloud yarn business. They, father and son, have worked hard for the treasure for so many years. Now, in order to cooperate with you, even if they spend all their wealth, they have to throw a bait to you. , I hope to know the location of the treasure from you, and I will deal with you after I find the treasure, but your purpose is to actually eat their bait, you are so cruel!"
Shao Xi rolled his eyes at Old Wu, with a look of displeasure on his face, and unfolded the folding fan, blowing the wind with a "swishing" sound.
"It's as if I'm doing it for their family's little money. Isn't my main purpose to help you rescue people and make you feel that bad breath back then? Weren't they cruel enough to you back then? I If you don't treat him cruelly now, how can you be worthy of what they did back then? Isn't this just to help you? Don't make me look like a bad person!"
Lao Wu quickly smiled playfully, came up behind Shao Xi in a mean manner, beat Shao Xi's shoulders, and flattered Shao Xi: "Hey! How can my young master be a bad person? My young master is the best in the world. Young Master, which young master would put so much thought into avenging his old servant?"
Shao Xi pretended to be enjoying himself, listening to Lao Wu's flattery, saying "Yeah, uh, ah, ah," and from time to time he would instruct Lao Wu to knock here and thump there.
At first, Lao Wu was willing to let him go, but as he continued to do so, he saw that this kid was a little pushy. He raised his hand and slapped Shao Xi on the back of the head, which shocked Shao Xi.
"I'll give you a few nice words and you won't know who you are. I'll coax you for a while and you'll be more energetic! Old man, I'm tired of knocking, so I won't knock anymore!"
With that said, Lao Wu sat down on the stool, poured a cup of tea and drank it alone.
This time it changed to Shao Xi's playful smile. He came over shamelessly and started to beat Old Wu's shoulders. Old Wu shook his head and enjoyed it, but he could no longer drink the glass of water in his hand. Every time he handed it to him, When he reached his mouth, he found that the boy's hand would become more forceful, causing it to spread all over his body.
"I said you did it on purpose, right? It's better for you to knock it than for me to knock it for you. Look at your unwillingness!"
Shao Xi tapped and rubbed Lao Wu's shoulders, showing the spirit of a professional technician.
"Old man, just be content with yourselves! I didn't dare to bring him over when I moved into Qin's house this time, for fear of scaring the two men. When we rescue him and leave Huaichang County, you can let him come to you again. Just beat your shoulders, you can just make do with it now!"
Lao Wu's head was knocked by Shao Xi like a gourd in a water tank, shaking this way and that. When he spoke, his voice was vibrating, but he didn't forget to talk to Shao Xi about rescuing Wei Ping.
"When are you going to rescue people? Do you want me to explore the way first?"
Shao Xi rubbed the back of Lao Wu's neck vigorously and said through gritted teeth: "What way to explore? Didn't you already explore more than 20 years ago? I took a look today. If the Qin family didn't go out of their way to dig another As for the dungeon, we can go through all the rooms on the ground in less than half an hour. It is estimated that the people are still in the same place, so it is best not to arouse their suspicion before rescuing people, so as not to alert the enemy. "
At this time, Old Wu looked guilty, thinking that he had never had the chance to come back to rescue his junior brother after escaping more than twenty years ago.
More than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I don’t know how many crimes my junior brother has suffered in these years? How much suffering did you suffer? But he was living a peaceful life in the Feng family with peace of mind. At this time, he really felt sorry for his junior brother.
It's fine if you don't know he's here. You know he's suffering here and leaving him here for so many years. No matter how you think about it, you're too selfish.
But there is no other way, who says he is incompetent? Even now, I am still unable to rescue Wei Ping on my own. Fortunately, my young master is capable. If my junior brother is not dead, I hope he can forgive me!
When Shao Xi saw that Old Wu was silent at the moment, he asked, "Let me tell you, Old Wu, you have been with my father for so many years, and you can be considered a member of the imperial court. If you want to save your junior brother, you only need to tell my father. Let the 'Jingcheng Division' send a group of people over, not only to destroy the Qin family, but at least to rescue Wei Ping. Why don't you tell my father about this? My father will definitely take care of it."
Old Wu sighed heavily, and it was obvious that he felt quite helpless. He thought that he might have had this thought at the beginning, but he didn't speak out.
"It's not that I haven't thought about it this way, but why should the imperial court send people to rescue a thief? You have to know that Qin Yuezong, Wei Ping and I were taught by the same master. We are all famous thieves in the world. , I asked the court to send someone to rescue Wei Ping. What should I do after the rescue? Should I let him go or punish him? Besides, there are rules in the world of rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes are all about the rivers and lakes. If you use the power of the court, you will be punished by the rivers and lakes. The people above are laughing at it.”
When Shao Xi heard this, he was unconvinced and pinched the back of Old Wu's neck so hard that he grinned.
He turned around and cursed: "Little bastard, do you want the old man's life? You can't do it lightly or harshly!"
Shao Xi lifted up his robe and sat opposite Lao Wu. He took out his folding fan and continued to fan, muttering in his mouth.
"You can follow my father and work as a secret agent in the 'Jingcheng Division'. Your junior brother's skills should not be much worse than yours. Why can't he? Besides, your bullshit world rules are not about saving face and suffering." ? Is it worth it for Weiping to be imprisoned in the dungeon for so many years just to follow the rules of the world? "
Old Wu also looked helpless.
"You don't understand my junior brother. He is the person who hates the imperial court the most. If he knew that I was doing things for the imperial court, we might not even be able to do it. Moreover, he attaches great importance to the rules of the world. If I use The power of the imperial court rescued him, but he would rather run back by himself.
"In short, this person has a very strange temperament. If he hadn't had such a personality, Qin Yuezong would have pried open his mouth over the years. It's because of his stubbornness that even Qin Yuezong can't do anything to him."
When Lao Wu said this, Shao Xi was right!
If Wei Ping had a prejudice against the imperial court itself, Lao Wu really couldn't get Feng Changlin to send someone to rescue Wei Ping.
Speaking of which, Wei Ping can be regarded as a person with principles and personality. Although he is a little weird, he at least lives for himself. Although he is imprisoned in the Qin family out of his own control, to a certain extent, It's also his own choice.
"By the way, how did your junior brother Wei Ping get the Wuhai Kingdom's treasure map back then? And how did he get imprisoned in his own dungeon by Qin Yuezong and his son? It is said that one of your masters taught you all the skills. Not bad.”
When asked by Shao Xi, Old Wu seemed to recall the scene when their senior brothers were together, and a proud expression appeared on his face.
"This boy has been smart since he was a child. Master liked him the most, so he passed on all his best stealing skills to him. I heard that he stole the treasure map from the Wuhai Palace. You see Look at how capable this kid is, he even let him steal something when he went to the palace to steal it!
"As for being imprisoned by the Qin family father and son, that's because Qin Yuezong was so cruel and unrighteous! Originally, Wei Ping came to him to hunt for treasures together, but he didn't expect that he would take advantage of the wealth and want to take the treasures for himself. When he found that Wei Ping didn't carry any They used both soft and hard tactics to force Wei Ping to hand over the treasure map, but Wei Ping was naturally unwilling to hand it over to him after seeing his true face, so the two of them have been fighting against each other until now."
This was the first time in so many years that Shao Xi saw Lao Wu admire someone in his own profession so much and admit that he was not as good as others. It seemed that Wei Ping was indeed quite capable.
"Is there really a treasure of Wuhai Kingdom in this world? If it is true, why don't the royal family of Wuhai Kingdom dig it out? Is it just a legend?"
Old Wu shook his head, denied Shao Xi's idea, and said to Shao Xi seriously: "The Wuhai treasure does exist, but after more than five hundred years, the exact location cannot be found now. The treasure map provides It’s just a rough direction.”
"Tch—! I've been keeping my classmates against each other for so many years because of a treasure that I don't even know if I can find. I'm really full!"
