Under the setting sun, Alchemist Bee hid in the secret room he had built long ago.
The alchemist bees now are like ants on a hot pot, very anxious.
What happened to his troops on the road? Didn't they promise to come back in three days? But now the sun was setting and he didn't even see a shadow.
Could it be that Gu Xiaotian knew about it early and sent someone to deal with his troops first?
No matter how shrewd Alchemist Feng was, he could not guess that the letter was changed by Gu Xiaotian.
Alchemist Feng has already sent this kind of message countless times before, and he still recognizes the handwriting on it, not to mention that the way it is written is encrypted. Even if someone can imitate the handwriting, he can still see the clues.
But what Fang Shifeng didn't know was that in Duan Peng's eyes, this encryption method was like child's play. It couldn't be simpler.
When the sun set, Alchemist Feng lit an oil lamp. Now he was really in a helpless state.
As for the letter to his superior, Alchemist Feng had already asked his only spy to deliver it. This time, he did not go through the inn but sent it directly to his superior.
The situation was critical, and Alchemist Feng had no choice. If his superiors blamed him, he would put all the blame on the spies.
...
At night on the top of the mountain, everyone held torches and marched toward Alchemist Bee's secret room.
On the way, Lan Fengyue clenched her fists. This time she had to let Alchemist Bee suffer the consequences.
Gu Xiaotian counted the time. It would take some time to get from Yun'an to the frontier, but because the distance was not far, time was important.
Alchemist Bee did not deliver the letter from the inn this time. Gu Xiaotian had thought of it beforehand. After all, sending it like this would take some time, and it would not be as fast as sending it directly.
Presumably, by now, the letter should also be in the hands of the person behind Alchemist Bee.
I just don’t know if the people behind Alchemist Bee will give up on him.
After all, the Alchemist Bee is just a chess piece, and if you give up, you give up.
But Wudu is a hot commodity. Now that Wudu is in internal turmoil, it is the best opportunity to take advantage of it.
But regardless of what happens next, the most important thing right now is to catch the Alchemist Bee.
The location of the secret room has been figured out, and it is not difficult to find it. Standing in front of the secret room, Lan Fengyue ordered people to break open the secret room, and she wanted to catch the Alchemist Bee herself.
The frame of the secret room door was smashed, and Alchemist Feng woke up in alarm. At this time, there was no way to retreat. Now he was alone. It was undoubtedly a dream to really fight his way out.
The door was quickly smashed open, and Lan Fengyue was the first to step in. Without giving Alchemist Bee any time to react, he took out the dagger hidden behind him and pointed it directly at Alchemist Bee's neck.
Alchemist Bee had no time to react. At this time, two daggers were already pressed against the stone wall.
Alchemist Bee swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes filled with disappointment.
He didn't dare to resist at all. Now that the leader had spared his life, he naturally wanted to ask something from him. If he resisted now, his head would fall to the ground in the next second. He quickly considered all the possibilities in his mind. If he really revealed some useful information, would the leader let him go?
In order to survive, Alchemist Bee is no longer caring. Anyway, his superiors haven't arrived yet, so he might as well switch sides first.
"Master, don't kill me, leave me alive, and I'll tell you everything I know."
Lan Fengyue's eyes were fierce, and the dagger moved forward a little further. A few drops of blood had already been stabbed on Alchemist Bee's neck.
Gu Xiaotian stepped forward, pretended to stop Lan Fengyue, and said to Alchemist Feng, "Let's talk about it."
Alchemist Feng did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately said it all like a bamboo tube.
"A few years ago, when I was promoted to Elder of the Five Poisons by Master Lan, I received a lot of cold looks. But I knew very well that I had little qualifications, so I had to endure it. But who knew that those people were getting more and more excessive. For this reason, I Thank you very much for eating."
"Now that I think about it, there are such coincidences in the world. When I was ignored and ostracized, at the inn
When I was complaining to the boss there, the boss told me that he had a connection that could help me get out of my current predicament, but as you all know, the whole Yun'an was decided by the Five Poisons, so I naturally followed what the boss said. I took it as a joke until my interactions with the boss there became more and more normal. He would give me some pills that seemed to be of little use every time. After that, it got out of hand. "
In Alchemist Bee's description, only one key figure is mentioned, the boss of the inn.
Lan Fengyue immediately ordered his men to go to the inn now and be sure to capture the boss and come back for interrogation.
Gu Xiaotian looked into Alchemy Feng's eyes, shook his head dissatisfied and said, "You are still hiding something."
Alchemist Feng quickly said aggrievedly: "I really have nothing to hide, I really only know so much."
Regardless of whether what Alchemist Feng said was true or not, Gu Xiaotian had no intention of coddling him and directly glanced at Lan Fengyue. Lan Fengyue understood and immediately pushed the dagger a little deeper.
Alchemist Bee's neck was already seeping with traces of blood, and he was still begging for mercy, and said that he really only knew so much, and he swore to God.
Suddenly, Alchemist Bee remembered something and quickly said a name.
"Peacock!"
Alchemist Bee had previously received a different letter. There was a signature at the end of the letter, and the signature was Peacock.
Alchemist Bee did not go into details about who this peacock was, because this letter only appeared once, and he had already burned it completely.
This time when he went to deliver the message, he just asked the spies to look for the peacock. There was no telling whether he would be able to find it.
But the fact that Peacock is on the border is unmistakable. Even if this person is not on the border, his power will be there.
Gu Xiaotian murmured: "This seems to be a code name."
Immediately, he turned his attention to Qu Xiaohan. Qu Xiaohan should have heard of this kind of person.
However, Qu Xiaohan spread his hands and said that he had never heard of such a famous figure.
Gu Xiaotian didn't think too much about it for the time being. At least he caught something useful. This was enough. He could check the rest of the things bit by bit.
Lan Fengyue's subordinates came back not long after and reported the bad news. The inn had been burned down. No burned body was found. The owner of the inn must have run away.
Alchemist Bee looked like he had lost his soul. It seemed that his superiors had given up on him.
Unexpectedly, this rebellion plan was over before it even started.
Alchemist Bee knelt down and begged for mercy. Lan Fengyue looked upset and knocked Alchemist Bee unconscious with one palm, and asked people to carry him back. She also wanted to settle accounts with Alchemist Bee Qiu.
...
Alchemist Feng was imprisoned in the Five Poison Cell. Lan Fengyue had been interrogating Alchemist Feng for the past few days. Alchemist Feng was also a smart man. With a little assurance from Lan Fengyue, he told all the details in one breath.
Alchemist Feng was very concerned about launching the rebellion. Although the letters had been burned by him, the general outline of them was still in his mind and he could memorize them.
Lan Fengyue placed all the recorded information one by one in front of Gu Xiaotian and said, "Everything that Alchemist Feng explained is here. See if there are any doubts."
Gu Xiaotian flipped through the letters on the table. Most of them were nothing. They were nothing more than how to arrange and deploy. The other party's reply to Alchemist Feng was basically a few words. Only when the Five Poison disciples went to the frontier, would the other party have more information? Reply to some and give a general report on the situation.
After reading so many letters, it turned out that Alchemist Feng was just explaining things about the Five Poisons, but the other party never mentioned anything about them.
Only the peacock mentioned earlier attracted Gu Xiaotian's attention.
Gu Xiaotian picked up the letter and read it. Peacock's writing style was different from the previous ones. No wonder Alchemist Feng was so impressed.
In the letter, Peacock clearly mentioned one point. If Alchemist Bee can successfully defeat the Five Poisons, he can become the direct helmsman.
Gu Xiaotian pointed to the letter and murmured: "It seems that this peacock is undoubtedly a member of the All-Martial Arts Association."
Since he is a member of the All-Martial Arts Association, it will naturally be easier to search for him. Qu Xiaohan is the leader of Hanchun City, so it is convenient to ask the people under his banner for the name Peacock.
What's more, if Peacock can directly promise, it proves that his level in the All-Martial Arts Association must not be low.
Unexpectedly, this fish was still a big fish.
The other letters didn't have much reference value. After Gu Xiaotian put away Peacock's letter, he asked, "What should I do with Alchemist Bee?"
After all, he is still a member of the Five Poisons, not to mention Lan Fengyue's heart is a bit soft, she smiled and said: "I promised him, save his life."
Gu Xiaotian nodded. This was an internal matter, so he just asked.
Finally, Gu Xiaotian made a small request, he wanted to meet Alchemist Feng in person.
Lan Fengyue took Gu Xiaotian to the prison and retreated by himself.
When Alchemist Feng saw Gu Xiaotian, he was not too angry. This time he was completely defeated. He was suppressed in every aspect, and he was convinced of his defeat.
The two faced each other, Gu Xiaotian asked with a smile: "You seem to see me, you are not angry at all?"
Alchemist Feng said helplessly: "My skills are inferior to others, and I am convinced that I lost. There is nothing to be angry about."
"But you're not surprised at all?"
From the moment he entered the cell, Alchemist Feng behaved extremely calmly, which made Gu Xiaotian feel strange. Everything he had explained should have been explained, so when he came to see him at this time, he should be surprised.
But the opposite happened. Alchemist Feng seemed to have known that Gu Xiaotian would come to him.
It seems that Alchemist Bee must be hiding something else.
Alchemist straightened his body slightly, looked out the door, dipped his finger in water, and wrote a word on the table.
The word "blood".
Looking at the bloody words on the table, Gu Xiaotian frowned.
Sure enough, Alchemist Bee is so shrewd, no matter how well the other party hides it, wouldn't he be able to investigate it himself?
However, Gu Xiaotian was confused about one thing. Why didn't Alchemist Feng tell Lan Fengyue, but only told himself?
Gu Xiaotian wiped the water stains on the table with his sleeve and asked, "Why did you only tell me?"
Alchemist Feng smiled and said, "Only you can figure out the whole story, not to mention that Wudu wants to save my life. I don't want Wudu to get involved in this matter."
